Alright! New Zelda story! This is seriously RIGHT after Twilight Princess.
I am in the process of making the sequel to Reminiscence, which I hope you guys read if you didn't already, but I wanted to take a break from that world and dive into Twilight Princess.
Hopefully, this will be a short(er) story. We'll see.
ENJOY!
I do NOT own Zelda. ):

Strictly ZeLink, I promise you.

I... See You Later...

She gave him that smile, the smile only to Link, as a way of saying thanks for everything. Yet there was that reluctance in her voice of unknown feelings. That bead of a tear slid down her cheek, and with one motion it headed forward. His eyes, shot wide open from the cracks. He saw her one final time before she disappeared into the twilight. A complete shatter rung in each Hylian ear. She had lied to him, and he stared at the mirror's frame, which now doesn't hold the only possibility of ever seeing her again.

...

The sun was setting on the shoulders of Gerudo Desert, the silk of her glove gently touched Link's shoulder, signaling that they should make their way back. His eyes were sad, and walking as if there was no balance to his feet. The air was bitter, breathing in the memories, and exhaling clouded thoughts of her. "Link..." she attempted to speak to him, but her voice was a distant whisper. To her, it seemed like the distance between them was getting farther apart. She was trailing behind him, and she knew, he was upset. Sand crunched as they stepped on it, and dust followed their footsteps.

Link looked behind him, and saw her looking into space with a bit of melancholy in her eyes. He reassured her that everything would be alright, and he offered his hand to her. She accepted, and he grabbed her silhouette, and with one click they were in the sky. He latched onto the floating peahat with his clawshot, and the weight of the two combined would drag it down slowly enough for a good landing.

They took ground by the tower, the sight where Link spotted Auru. Link unsheathed the Master Sword and looked at it with determination. "Will you be returning that to its origin?" Link nodded, and she looked at him. "The great heroes before you also wielded this sword with strength, and you mastered it as well. Link, you are a true hero." He smiled, an appreciative smile, and cloaked the sword once again in its sheathe.

They ambled toward the small building floating on the surface of water, steadily balancing on the bridges on the road there. "What is this place?" she asked. The hero didn't feel like explaining, so he paid Fyer, the man running the building, and took her through the door into the establishment. While inside, they heard a tune ringing in their head from the outside. It was Fyer, and the canon started to ignite. "UWHOOOAAHHHH" was all you heard from the green garbed boy, while she remained calm and still. Though, the terror shown in her eyes, no shriek had emerged from her lungs.

After they landed, each went down the ladder slowly because of the lack of balance each had from the flight. When outside, Link picked up a brown horseshoe shaped piece of grass, and taught the purple gowned girl how to whistle into it. Once she did, Epona came galloping on by. Epona stopped, and both of them started petting the majestic horse with love. "You have got a real great companion by your side. She was very brave during our encounter with Ganondorf. Thank you." She petted her again, and Link saddled himself on Epona. He offered his hand to the Princess, offering to help her on.

He looked toward Hyrule Castle with remorse, remembering the jail cell, the chain, and the very first time he met the Twilight Princess. As he almost clicked his heel to make Epona dash, a hand grabbed his leg. "I wish to accompany you, please take me with you." And so, the hero could not deny a request given from the Royal Highness, and marched on.

…

The sky turned dark, with the shades of indigo and sapphire merged into one plain canvas. By that time they were well into Faron territory still in the fields of Hyrule. The mud and dirt set into Epona's hooves, so before they would camp Link decided to clean her up in the small pond by the bridge. Epona stepped in and neighed with relief. Soon after she clicked and clacked and splashed water. Tiny water beads filled the atmosphere as well as laughter when both Hylians joined in as well.

When the merriment was over, Link grabbed his lantern and with the small amount of oil left they ambled towards a large tree. This was the designated area for their tent. He jumped for some larger tree branches, attempting to break them for the firewood. The Princess of Hyrule scoped for some edible mushrooms, healthy herbs, and plucked apples from trees. The green garbed boy fetched some water and sparked the fire.

"Here you are Epona" she said, feeding her the apples with delight. Petting her, Epona gave her a nose kiss.

At the same time Link began to make a stew with the ingredients the princess gathered. Impressed by his culinary skills, she grabbed a small loaf of bread in Link's saddle, split it in half, and gave one to him. Both ate in silence, listening to the crickets and night crawlers. All you could hear was the crunch of the two apples she saved for the two of them. She looked back, with small crumbs dangling from her gloves and saw there was only one blanket in Link's inventory. "I believe we have a dilemma."

He wondered, and began to take action. He took down the tent and laid the blanket down under the stars. The fire went out slowly and he gestured her to lay down with him. Since he thought it wasn't going to rain he put the tent over their bodies and made it a universal cover.

She smiled, and said "smart thinking, very nice and comfortable." Then she pointed towards the stars, and she spoke with a saddened tone. "I'm positive you both will meet again."

Link yawned, and then turned to the girl beside him. He looked at her with question.

"What I mean is, when the road for two people split, there is always a route for return. Father always spoke of how the person you love stares at the same stars from another side of the world. I am positive she's thinking about you, Link. Those destined together will never ultimately be separated for good. Do not lose hope." Though, as she turned to him he was fast asleep. She blinked in confusion and maneuvered to her other side. Before she too went into slumber, she thought of the one man whom had stolen her emotional stability. Her eyelids began getting heavier, and the final time she closed them, a tear rolled out from the corner of her eye.

The winds stirred in the leaves, and brewed a chill. Farore's winds whispered in the Hero's ears in response to what the Princess just spoke about. Those destined shall forever be bonded together.

The Goddesses of Hyrule looked down upon this couple. What a bit of irony we have here. The heavens shimmered above these two, and the stars twinkled even brighter. Though, they were sad for the heart that is reaching out for a taken heart.

…

The next morning was grim. The sky was dark, and the clouds poured rain like sprinkles. Link woke up to the pitter patter drops falling on his face when they rolled off the leaves of the tree they were under. He rose, and saw the Princess there in the open, watching it all fall. Her golden brown hair became dark as it got wet, the drops of water slipped off the jewelry she wore, and her garments were soaked. That all didn't matter to Link because he was just focused on her face. It could have been the rain, but he could have sworn the beads of tears were sliding down her cheeks. He watched her, as she let them fall, and didn't move slightly.

"...Zelda."

She turned around, and looked at him. A small curve formed on her face. "You were wrong... Link."
