Hello! This is my first fanfic. I love the Link x Zelda pairing. So I decided to create a romance!

Please Review! I'd love some!

Disclaimer: I wish I owned The Zelda series. But I don't.


As the sun rose over the horizon of Hyrule, Link awoke to find his room lit up from the window. He quickly pushed the covers off of himself and jumped out of bed. He was 17 years old, with a home at Lon Lon Ranch. He worked there for food and a room, but there was nothing else to that. After seven years, Link missed Zelda. He felt lonely without her. The hero missed those amethyst eyes, soft silky skin and warm giggle. He couldn't bear the thought of her forgetting about him and finding another, better hero to her liking.

As Link walked out of his little room, Malon greeted him, who was tending to Epona.

"Good morning, Link! How was your sleep?"

Link groaned, looking slightly saddened.

"I slept well, but I can't stop thinking about a long lost friend."

"Ah…Which reminds me. You have a letter. It looks important, since it has the royal seal on it. It's on your nightstand if you hadn't realized."

Link lightened up, smiling and running in to room again, gazing at the envelope that sat still on the small table. A late birthday present maybe? He'd turned eighteen a few months ago. His birthday had been forgotten by so many.

"Thank you Malon!" He yelled out, delicately opening the beautiful enclosing.

Dearest Link,

I tried to see you last night. You were asleep. I couldn't wake such a peacefully sleeping hero, right? It's been too long, Link. I would like to see you for my coming of age ball. You may be eighteen, but remember, I am a year younger…I want to see my hero again. Please come…My father wants to meet you, though I do not know why.

Yours truly,

Princess Zelda.

P.S. Happy very late birthday.

Link read through it several times before smiling from ear to ear. He quickly packed his tunic and hero's suit, before hurriedly running out to Epona and grabbing the saddle that was hanging against the fence, sliding and fastening it onto the beautiful auburn horse and jumping up.

"Malon, I'm taking a few days off. Please tell your father for me!"

He smiled, making Malon blush softly and wave goodbye, as he did the same, slowly trotting Epona over to the gate.

"See you soon, Link! Have a safe trip!"

And just like that, Link and his stallion were gone, galloping to the marketplace at full speed.


And there is my edited first chapter.It's a bit short, but there will be many chapters. Reviews! I love reviews!
