A/N Hey! I decided to branch out from Jelsa AUs, and do a Zelink AU. I think Zelink was my first ship, and so to honor six year old me, I'm going to finally write one.

Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Zelda or anything involved with Nintendo.

I do own this concept.

Chapter 1

She walked through the door.

Staring out the window, I could taste freedom it seemed only inches away but I couldn't grasp it. I sighed, and rested my head on the worn table. I hate math…

A knock at the door interrupted Mr. Horwell's droning, "Mr. Horwell, this is your new student, Zelda Rayne." That's some name. I wonder what the guy's like? "Yes, Zelda you may sit there." I heard footsteps, and the empty chair next to me scraped against the floor, and I heard a thump. I have a new neighbor… I smirked to myself; I wonder… How much trouble we can cause?

I sat up, and looked to the person next to me and froze, I was expecting some guy, but I got deep blue eyes, a tumble of golden locks and a pink lips. "Hi," she smiled and extended her hand, "I'm Zelda, Zelda Rayne," I took it, "Link." I cleared my throat, "Link Hawthorne." She smiled, and tucked a strand of hair behind her pointed ear. "It's nice to meet you," she had a pleasant voice, it was soft and delicate. In fact everything about her was soft and delicate, she had donned a white dress with a floral print, black flats covered her small feet, and bracelets jangled softly on her thin wrists. "You too," she smiled, and turned her head toward Mr. Horwell, and I did too.

"Class," Mr. Horwell clapped his hands together, "We have a new student, Ms. Rayne would you please stand up?" She rose gracefully, and smiled, "Hi everyone," she waved slightly. We were at the back of the class, so everyone was turned around in their chairs to look at her, "Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?" She nodded and smiled, "I'm Zelda Rayne, I'm from the Capital City," a city girl in Ordon… "I love music, reading and archery. " I arched an eyebrow at that, interesting. "And," she let her hands hit her legs, "that's it." She sat down, "is it alright if the students ask a few questions? Of course," she smiled, and picked a guy from the front, "Why'd you leave the Capital City?" she shrugged, "My father sent me here because of his work. I'm staying with my guardian." He nodded, "How old are you?" Another asked, "I'm thirteen." Hm, I smiled. I'm older.

After a few more questions, Mr. Horwell continued the lesson. I sighed, and leaned back, and glanced at Zelda. She was writing notes, she has nice handwriting. I looked toward the clock, only six minutes left of class. "I like your hair," she whispered. I glanced at her, and she looked at me, "Huh?" She giggled, "I like your hair." She repeated, and I reached up to touch the brown hair on my head. (A/N Link's hair style is the Twilight Princess style.) "Thanks," I said. "Sorry," she put her hand on my shoulder, "That sounded weird." I cracked a smile, "Trust me it's not the weirdest thing I heard today." She smiled, and put her hand on the table.

"Quiet everyone," Mr. Horwell clapped his hands. I sighed, and leaned on my hand, dozing off, when I saw something slide in front of me. I glanced down; it was a note… from Zelda? I glanced at her, but she was writing notes.

She just wrote, hi

I wrote hey, and slid the note back over to her. She scribbled something and handed it back

Thanks for letting me sit here.

I smiled no problem. What do you think of Ordon so far?

It's still really nice of you. Ordon's different, but I haven't seen enough of to love or hate it.

If you want I-

"Mr. Hawthorne," I looked up, at the interruption, "yeah?" He hit his ruler on the board, "Find the answer to x." I looked at the board, and my brain went blank. Crap if I know… "Um…" I tapped my fingers on the table, "We're waiting, Mr. Hawthorne." I shrugged, "x equals eight." I turned to Zelda, her hand raised slightly. "Correct, Ms. Rayne." She smiled, "Mr. Hawthorne, I suggest you do less day-dreaming, and more note-taking. Yes sir." He nodded, and sat at his desk. "Thanks," I looked at her. She shrugged, "Anytime," she gathered her stuff and put it into her bag. I flunk my own bag over my shoulder. She looked up at me, "You're kinda tall." She pouted, and I stretched. "No, you're just short." She rolled her eyes, and I stuck my hands into my hoodie pocket. She took the note, and put it in her book.

The bell rang, "Alright class, complete number seven through thirty, due tomorrow." We stood up, and I let her go up the aisle first. "What's your next hour?" I asked her when we got of the class. She looked at her schedule, "I have English, with Mr. Sturgeon. You? English, With Mr. Orca. I," I adjusted the strap on my bag, "have the fun teacher. You got the crazy boring one." She cocked an eyebrow, "How can someone be boring and crazy? When they're crazily boring." She chuckled, "Come on. I'll walk you to class. Thanks." She smiled.

"Zelda Rayne?" We looked behind us; Malon was walking toward us, "Yes? Hi, I'm Malon." Zelda took her extended hand. "I'm here to show you around the school," she linked her arm with Zelda's, "Oh." She nodded, "thank you." She looked toward me, "Bye Link." She waved at me, and I waved at her, "We've been excused from second hour so I can show you around the school." Zelda nodded, and Malon dragged her down the hallway.

I smirked, "Bye Zelda."

A/N Ok. Not a bad start. Not bad at all. If I continue this story, it's up to you all. I would love feedback! I adore suggestions, theories, reviews, and constructive criticism. Bye love ya'll XOXO.
