Dark-Ninja92: Hey this is my first fanfiction, so if I start doing something wrong, please tell me. I do not own the Zelda series, otherwise I'd probably be swimming in a pool of money right now. Also, constructive criticism is welcome. Doesn't mean I'll listen to it, but it's still welcome (that was a joke).
Link: Just not a funny joke…
Dark-Ninja92: Quiet you. This story takes place about 6 years after majora's mask, so it's adult link on the child timeline, (if you're confused just search "legend of Zelda timeline" and it should clear things up.)There's going to be some "out of character" moments. This is going to be a Link X Ruto fanfic, I understand that there are some who highly disapprove of Link x Ruto, well, keep any flames to yourself. I personally like this couple. Like I said, Constructive criticism is welcome, idiotic hate is not. I swear if I see stupid little hate comments I'm gonna-
(WHACK) Link knocks out Dark-Ninja92…
Link: Trust me people, if I didn't do that, he'd take up the entire first chapter with a long string of curses and rants, parts of which would makes us have to bump this story up to an M rating.
Ruto: So, what now?
Link: Well we start the story, and then we can… (Whispers something in Ruto's ear)
Ruto: (Blushing with a stunned look on her face)…., I'll find a room. : 3
Link: well everyone enjoy the story.
Ruto: Come here you. : 3
Dark-Ninja92: (unconscious) nngh,… possible….spoilers….ahead.

Link was walking up to the waterfall that blocked entrance of the zora domain, exhausted. Before pulling out the ocarina to make the opening in the waterfall, he stopped for a moment to catch his breath.
Link: huff…huff… Thank the goddesses I planted that magic bean when I was a kid, otherwise I might never have lost those guards. Who knew Zelda could be so crazy?
Flashback
(In the castle courtyard)
Zelda: YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED TO HER?! BUT SHE'S A FISH!
Link: I don't know what's got you so worked up, but there's no need to insult my fiancée.
Zelda: Link, I've been waiting for the day when you would finally ask to marry me, and now I come to find that you've been engaged the whole time! How did this even happen?
Link: It all started when I got the zora sapphire, back when ganondorf showed up. After I saved Princess Ruto, I asked for the zora sapphire. She gave it to me a said it was basically an engagement ring. I didn't understand what she was talking about at the time, but a little bit after stopping that cursed mask in terminia, I found out that I had agreed to marry Ruto. I'll admit that at the time I didn't see Ruto as anything more than a friend. I soon went to the zora domain to try and figure a way to sort things out, but I ended up spending time with her, and she started to grow on me. I decided to hold off on cancelling the engagement, and over time I started to develop strong feelings for her. Now I have to say that I do love her, among other things, she's strong-willed, cute, and beautiful, she actually has a funny side to her, and honestly I just love being around her. But you and I can still be friends right?
That last sentence was apparently not something link should have said, because Zelda looked very, VERY, angry. She was by no means selfish, but Link was the one thing she would not give up.
(A few moments later)
(The drawbridge to Hyrule field)
Link: SHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHITSHIT !
Link yelled as he sprinted across the bridge, not far behind him, a group of guards led by a berserk Princess Zelda. Link didn't even have time to call for Epona, needing all his focus to make sure he didn't accidentally trip on something and to dodge whatever Zelda threw at him.
(End flashback)
Guard: Hold it right there Link!
Apparently a small group of the guards had caught up and found Link.
Link: Where did you guys come from?!
Guard: We caught up to you while you were doing the flashback
(Flashb-
Link: Wait, do you mean the flashback that explained why I was exhausted, or the flashback in the flashback that explained why I was marrying Ruto?
Guard: a flashback in a flasback? So then I would be doing a flashback of a flashback in a flashback? or would that be-
A moment later, one of the guards to the left grunted and then his head exploded spreading confetti and streamers everywhere. Neither Link, nor any of the guard had any clue how to respond to this, why there was confetti, or even how that sentence caused his head to explode, but it provided an excellent distraction, because instantly a group of zoran guards jumped out of the water and caught the hylian guards by surprise.
Zoran Guard: By theorder of Princess Ruto, Link is-… What happened to that guy?
The zoran guard had just noticed the hylian guard whose head exploded
Link: I'll, um, I'll explain later
Zoran Guard: Well, as I was saying, Link is under protection of the zoran guard, if Princess Zelda wants him, she'll have to come here and negotiate with Princess Ruto.
One of the hylian guards had heard something and looked up. It only took him a moment to notice something dive-bombing at them in the sky, yelling with rage. Only a moment after, the hylian guards were running like hell, the zoran guard doing the same, except swimming, and link just curled up under his shield like he did with his hylian shield when he was younger. Suddenly Princess Zelda had come crashing down, feet first, into Link's mirror shield. Link was thankful his shield could take the impact, and as Zelda jumped off of Link and landed a few meters away, Link pulled the mirror shield of his back and unsheathed the master sword. With strength that could only come from being trained by Impa, Zelda was tossing large chunks of rock, and anything else she could pick up. Link was blocking himself from any poor animals in Zelda's reach, and using the master sword to slice through everything else, until…
King of Hyrule: Zelda! What do you think you're doing!
At the sound of his voice, Zelda froze.
Zelda: Father? I….I…
King of Hyrule: I overheard your conversation with Link earlier, and I'm highly disappointed in the way you're acting. Link has made his choice, and you'll just have to live with it.
Zelda: But father, I love him!
Zelda then dove at Link and clamped her arms around his waist and looked up at him with teary
Zelda: Please Link! Break it off with Ruto and marry me! I love you! I want to be with you for the rest of my life!
Link just stood there with a slightly disturbed face, unable to comprehend what was happening.
King of Hyrule: (sigh)….Guards, please retrieve my daughter.
The guards that had originally come with Zelda had immediately obeyed the king's order and set to prying Zelda off of link, which turned out to be harder than one would think, as it took seven of the guards to pull Zelda off while Link was clinging on to the nearest tree. As Zelda was dragged back to Hyrule Castle, her nails digging into the ground and leaving a trail, Link went back to the waterfall and went into the zora domain. He started to head for the king, to ask where Ruto was, but just before he entered the tunnel leading to the king's throne room, a blue and white blur tackled Link and sent him over the edge of the pathway and tumbling into the water below with a splash. When he resurfaced, he was face to face with his fiancée, giggling at the look on Link's face.
Ruto: Welcome back Link. So how was your trip to Hyrule?
Link: Well….
Link recounted how Zelda basically had a mental breakdown, chased him to the zora domain, and tried to get him to marry her instead. Afterwards Ruto was heading straight for the edge of the water, obviously wanting to go after the princess.
Link: Ruto, wait.
Ruto: Why? That bitch called me a fish and tried to steal you away from me!
Link: Because the king of Hyrule is already taking care of her. Apparently he supports us, He even had the guards help pull Zelda off me. Plus we don't need an incident between the kingdoms with our wedding coming up. By the way, have you talked to your dad about when the minister will be available for the wedding?
Ruto: Well, I kind of still need to tell him we're engaged first
Link just stood there for a moment, an expression on his face somewhere between annoyed and confused, while he tried to figure out she had hid her engagement from her father for so long.

Dark-Ninja92: Ugh…wuh… Huh? Oh! The chapter's done! Well everyone, feel free to review regardless of whether you liked it or not. Just remember to,…to, what is that noise?
(Opens nearby door.)
Ruto: EEEEEEEEEEEK!
Dark-Ninja92: Holy hell! What the hell am I witnessing?!
Link: Shut the door you idiot!
(Dark-Ninja92 Slams the door shut and flattens back against it.)
Dark-Ninja92: I don't know what I just saw, and I don't think I want to know.
