We had two snow days in a row, and I got to thinking, what would snow days be like for the LoZ characters? Well, too much thought turned into a multi-chapter story. Enjoy! ^^
Link and Zelda
Link awoke from his nightly slumber. A bright light from outside had woken him up. He thought to himself, what gives? It's too early for it to be so bright! At least the sun was shining instead of some dark ominous sign or something like that, so Link was grateful for the beautiful day. The hero yawned, climbed out of his bed, and walked to the window. He opened his sapphire eyes and saw something wonderful. It was truly a sight to see on this wondrous day. White, fluffy perfection was piled on the ground. It covered the tops of trees and even the roof of their house. More fell from the sky as well. A wide grin spread on Link's face. It was snowing! He let out a glad yell and ran to get dressed. Snow days meant a day off. No villain would give up a day like this to relax. Link grabbed a sleigh, said goodbye to his grandfather, and ran off to the castle to get Zelda.
Zelda, meanwhile, was already up and aware of the snow. She stood on her balcony with her hand out to catch the soft, frozen delight. She smiled at the touch. It made her relax and not worry about being kidnapped by Ganon, not that she wasn't on guard. She had a taser in her other hand just in case. Zelda looked around to make sure no one was looking. When the coast was clear, she stuck out her tongue to catch the falling flakes. It tasted bland, but for some reason she found it enjoyable. Then out of nowhere,
"Hey Zelda!" Link climbed onto the balcony. Zelda screamed and put her taser up to Link filling him with 1,000 bolts. The hero fell to the ground twitching. Zelda put her hands over her mouth.
"Oh! Link! I'm sorry! I thought you were Ganon or Vaati or some other villain!" She helped Link up. He smiled at her.
"It's okay. I'm sort of used to the taser now."
Both he and Zelda exchanged a nervous smile, but then Link remembered why he had come in the first place.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go sledding with me or something." Link said.
Zelda looked up in thought. She didn't really have anything else to do, she supposed. She looked at Link with a smile on her face.
"Sure! Let's go!"
The hero and princess left via the balcony. They ran through the snow towards Hyrule field where the snowy hills were high and perfect. When they arrived, it looked like they were the only ones who wanted to sled. Both shrugged and began their sledding. Sometimes, they would race. Of course Zelda would win because she cheated. Link would be winning, but then Zelda would scream loudly causing Link to turn around. Then, because of his lack of awareness to his surroundings, he would veer into a tree or rock, and Zelda would sled to victory with a laugh. Link got his revenge though. He hid behind a tree and waited for Princess Zelda to come near his hiding place.
"Link? Where'd you go?" She would say, but she would cackle, "Don't be a sore loser!"
Link jumped from out of the tree and threw a snowball right at Zelda's face. She fell down from the force of it (snowballs have force? O_o). Link laughed away at the princess. Princess Zelda wiped the snow from her face.
"So that's how you wanna play?" Zelda tightened her fist around a lump of snow. Link continued to laugh unaware of the now hostile princess. Zelda threw the snowball right into Link's open mouth. He choked on the frost and looked at Zelda. He panicked seeing she had a deadly expression.
"Oh sh-" He took off in the opposite direction. Zelda ran after him throwing snowball after snowball at the hero's back. Luckily, Link was agile so dodging the little balls of snow was no problem. Link decided to fight back. He scooped up some snow just as he ducked behind a large pile of snow. Link stayed hidden listening to Zelda's oncoming footsteps. Link smiled to himself. Boy was she going to get it, he chuckled. He was about to throw the snowball, when out of nowhere, a snowball smashed onto his head. He looked up to see Zelda laughing at him from atop the pile of snow. Link shoved his snowball on her head in return. Instead of overreacting, Zelda laughed. They laughed together, a rich, hearty sound. Zelda wiped a tear form her eye.
"Come on, Link, let's go get some hot chocolate. My treat." She smiled at him.
"Great! I want those little marshmallows on mine!" he beamed. He and Zelda shared another laugh. They walked together back towards the town. Hyrule Field showed the remains of their fun-filled time. The hills were all marked by the sled tracks, not to mention the dips in the ground where Link had fallen due to Zelda's dirty tricks. Snowball lumps lay on the snow where Zelda had assaulted him with the balls of doom. But in the remains, they left one more thing. Nothing you could see or touch. It was a strong bond of friendship imprinted everywhere in the grand field.
