Prologue.
Age of the Hero of Time [Year 993]

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this." ― Pablo Neruda

It had been nearly a week since the climatic battle between the Hero of Time and the King of Evil. The young man, known as Link, had defeated the evil man and restored peace to Hyrule. After the long and harsh battle, Zelda tended to Link's wounds, thanking the Hero thoroughly and even kissing his cheek. A smile had appeared on the Hylian's lips, before she left him to rest. Link rode his horse Epona to the gates of Hyrule Castle Town, before he dismounted his trusty steed. Holding her reins in his hands, Link made his way through the busy Castle Town, that was know bursting with life. When he arrived at the castle, he found Princess Zelda was waiting for him. He saw the Ocarina in Time in her hands. Their stunning sapphire hues made contact with each other and Link instantly knew her intentions.

"There is no other way, right?" The Hylian asked his Princess. "This is what must be done?" The little blue fairy known as Navi flew between them both.

A small sigh escaped the beautiful Princess' lips before she broke eye contact, looking up at the sky. "Even so Link, I believe you should live the childhood that I had stolen from you, unknowingly. I didn't expect the Master Sword's removal would result to your soul being in slumber for seven years. However, upon replacing the Master Sword, I will request your presence here in the Castle again." She saw his eyebrow knit together in confusion. Navi continued help, but look at Zelda with confusion as well. "Allow me to explain. When I return you to your original time, you will be 10 years old again, correct?" Link nodded, trying to understand where she was going with this. "You simply cannot return to Kokiri, because you're not one of them, You're a Hylian. You'll need somewhere to reside." A smile exploded on Navi's lips, as she turned to Link.

His stunning blue eyes widen in shock. 'You want me to live here in the Castle with you?" The Princess smiled and nodded. Link was dumbfounded. The past year had been a rather hard and difficult one for Link while he was on his journey, but even so, he didn't expect that luxury. "I was just expected to live somewhere in Kakariko or even ask Talon if I could rent a room."

Zelda shook her hair, causing her radiant blond strands to shimmer in the sunlight. "None of that, Link. We can't have the Hero of Time do that because he saved us all. And Navi that includes you as well." The fairy seemed excited to be included." Do not be sadden. Though the memory of Ganon may be erased, you, myself, and the six sages will remember. And everyone will remember you as the Dodongo Buster and saving Princess Ruto. That is one thing that won't change, so they will remember you as a hero." A smile grazed Link's lips, his eyes shining in the sunlight. 'And you are also the boy I had fallen to love. If only you returned it.' Zelda thought the last part to herself.

"Zelda, you are a gracious person," Navi commented. Zelda giggled and Navi flew and landed on the Princess' shoulder. She gave her a hug on the cheek, before flying back to Link, landing on his shoulder.

"Alright," Link closed his eyes, letting out a small sigh. "Can I say something first?" He reopened his eyes and saw her nod softly. Navi know what Link was going to say. She was happy that he was about to admit his feelings for the spectacular young woman. "I learned a lot over this journey and I know that I may just be a 10 year old boy in a grown up body, but.." His voice trailed off, as he gathered his wit. "I think things happen for a reason and the reason this happened was because the goddesses wanted us to meet. You and I. I am not sure how accurate this is, but I care about you." A faint blush crossed the Hylian male's face, which also held one of his dazzling, heart melting grins.

Zelda blushed prettily, before looking at him. She brought the Ocarina to her lips, before she whispered. "Hold on to that thought, Link. Because I believe it as well." Link's eyes widen, hearing her words. With a small nod, he closed his eyes and she played the Song of Time, which undid all the events that occurred in Hyrule. However, Ganondorf was still sealed in the Evil Realm, which was holding him at bay and he would never escape. When Link re-opened his eyes, he was standing in front of the Pedestal of Time, with the Master Sword in it's place.

"We're back," Navi concluded, looking at Link. He raised his sadden hues to her. "What's wrong?"

He bowed his head, not showing her his sadness. "You are going to leave me now, aren't you? Since I'm not really a Kokiri and our mission is technically over."

The little fairy landed his shoulder, placing a hand on his chin. He looked at her. "What makes you think that?" Navi asked. His mouth dropped open, causing her to giggle. "No matter what, I will be by your side. I don't care if you are old, gray, and pruny. Hehe, I will be with you until your dying day." Link was overcome with joy that he hugged her as best he could causing a giggle of happiness escaped from her. "Now what are you waiting for? Go to Princess Zelda." Link nodded, before he turned around. He stopped short, and let out a small gasp.
