Zelda sat at her ancient desk carved from some holy deku tree ages ago from the now nonexistent Kokiri Forest, tabloids spread before her, every single one showing the same image from different angles. Her future husband, the man of her dreams, lips locked with another woman. Zelda's knuckles were white, her delicate pale hands clenched into fists so tight the circulation to her lie-sporting ring finger was getting cut off. The offensive object, a beautiful platinum and gold band holding a princess cut diamond, glinted and Zelda let out an undignified shriek as she yanked it from her finger. She slammed it into the polished wood, disturbing her coffee that had stopped steaming over an hour ago.

"Princess?" her secretary, a blonde with a passion for blue suits named Rosalina, poked her head in the door of her office. Zelda looked up at her, and for the first time since she had hired Rosalina, she watched the woman flinch. "He's here," she said simply and Zelda nodded once, a quick up and down jerk of her head.

"Send him in," her words were tight, hatred and anger threatening to spill over at any second. Rosalina nodded and before her head disappeared, Zelda caught a sympathetic look in her eyes. Zelda wasn't sure if that was for her, or for her soon to be ex fiancé.

"Hello my darling!" his booming voice and warm smile had always worked on her before, she had always found his face so handsome, the Gerudo features so prominent and proud. Now, Ganondorf's nose was too big, his hair too bright for his skin, perhaps his eyes a bit beady. He was ugly incarnate, and Zelda leveled him the look all of the Hylian royal family was famous for. The silent "you're fucked" that she had only used on her brother once before when she caught him with a needle jammed in his arm.

"Every morning," Zelda said, clipping her words lest they get too loud, "I walk with two bodyguards down to the coffee shop on the corner three blocks away. I walk in, my presence acknowledged by the owner with a smile and a bow. He's a sweet old man," she continued and Ganondorf shifted nervously on his feet. "Today though, when I walked in, he paled. Now I asked myself why, was he sick? Turns out," she slammed her hand on her desk and Ganondorf jumped, eyes falling on the pictures before her, "I am a fool. Made so by you Ganondorf Dragmire."

"Darling that's not-"

"That's you, don't you dare fucking lie to me!" Zelda felt her control slipping, her voice almost cracking in pure rage. "I want you to leave. I never want to see your lying, cheating... face again! Get out," she said softly and he opened his mouth. "GET OUT!" she screamed at the top of her lungs. He turned around and bolted, the door shutting behind him with a solid thud. Alone in her office, Zelda broke down, collapsing on her desk, tears falling unchecked from her eyes, shoulders shaking with sobs loud enough to shake the earth.

"Come on Zel," Link, her fraternal twin and constant pain, collapsed on her massive four poster bed, sinking into the soft comforter and pillows so far he almost disappeared from sight. "You have got to stop moping over Big Nose McDouche. It's been over a month now."

"Link," she mumbled from her pillow's embrace around her face, "leave me alone."

"You need to go out, have some fun," he said and she sighed, pulling her tear streaked face and puffy red eyes from her pillow to glare at the blonde hair and blue eyes peeking at her from the safe distance of a few feet.

"We have very different definitions of fun," she replied snarkily and his blue eyes hardened.

"I'm clean, don't be a bitch to the one person trying to help," he snapped and Zelda buried her face in her pillow once more. "Fucking hell come on!" He gripped her arm and she smiled into the feather pillow, knowing what he was going to do. He flipped out of her bed, a roll she never figured out how he learned, and pulled her with him.

"Link," she warned and he grabbed her other hand, spinning them in a dizzyingly fast circle. "Link!" she squealed happily for the first time in a long lonely month and they stumbled into each other, leaning on each other as the world slowed it's manic spinning.

"One night out on the town," he said with his grin she always teased him was goofy. "Let's go somewhere where they don't know me, don't know you, and we can just chill. Deal?"

"I'm going to regret this, aren't I?" she asked and he wrapped her up in a big hug.

"I promise Zelda, you won't regret it."

Zelda sat on the dark leather seat of Link's fancy imported sports car as they moved on the ferry out to the tropical Isle Delphino. Link sat next to her, tapping his fingers on his kneecaps. "I didn't know we were venturing into Peach's land," she said and Link shrugged.

"She doesn't need to know," he said casually, eyes staring at the car in front of them as they docked.

"You two haven't-"

"Not in a long time," he cut off her questions, a warning look in his eyes as he turned the key, the engine roaring to life beautifully. The dark green import rolled forward as they drove down the street, Zelda looking out the window like a little kid as they passed a massive harbor. "Welcome to Isle Delphino," Link said in a tour guide-like voice, "home of the famous Ricco Harbor, the largest port in all the historic Mushroom Kingdom. We'll continue on into Delphino Plaza, where we will feast on awesome seafood, watermelon smoothies, and," he cleared his throat as they slowed for a group of people in oil stained clothes, a crane moving a massive container, "exotic people." Zelda would have shot him a glare for his suggestive words, but on the crane's load, a man sat, kicking the container, blue hair being blown every which way by the wind. She curiously rolled down her window a sliver, hearing the men shouting out in a foreign language she didn't recognize. The one on the lift elegantly flipped them off, shouting down in a deep voice something Zelda didn't need to speak the language to understand was an insult as the men roared back angrily. With a laugh the blue haired man leapt from the moving crane, Zelda gasping in shock as he landed on top of a crate, barely an inch from falling into the water.

"Crazy Crimean," Link grumbled as they moved on, Zelda watching the blue haired man pointing and laughing at a red haired man who scrambled onto the crate after him. Zelda turned to keep him sight, gasping as the red head shoved him into the water. The man vanished under the slimy surface and Link chuckled as he adjusted his rear view mirror. "Now, I was thinking we grab a bite on the boardwalk, maybe hit a bar-"

"Why in Farore's name would we do that?" Zelda asked and Link sighed.

"You need to loosen up," he said and then added softly, "maybe get laid."

"Link!" she whirled on him with angry eyes and he gave her an innocent look.

"I said maybe!" he defended himself softly. "A one night stand might do wonders for your mood."

"You're an ass," she crossed her arms and looked back out the window, the scenery changing from harbor slowly to neighborhood, giving way to Delphino Plaza in the most breathtakingly beautiful way imaginable. Zelda couldn't help but smile as they rode on, Link beaming like a kid at Christmas as he noticed.

"Am I still an ass?" he asked and she sighed.

"A small one," she fired back, watching the local native people waddle about. Link chuckled but kept driving, her eyes locked on the scenery, him trying to figure out which bar was the best bet for her getting lucky.
