Hey everyone, this is just a random story I thought of one night, It's my version of what happens after Link wakes up from his seven-year sleep.

So read and review and tell me what you think! Anime wildfire

Seven years had passed since the hero of time had been sealed away, after he was sealed in the purple crystal, the people moved him to Kakariko village, they built a shrine for him in the middle of the village, where they could watch the sleeping hero of time and wait for the moment that he would finally awaken.

Link was suspended in the crystal, his eyes closed, breathing softly, his body had grown over the seven years he had been asleep, until he had matured into a handsome young man.

Many people stopped by to see him each day, some talked to him, others talked about him, and some just came to see him, he was there sign of hope, and coming to see him raised their own hopes and dreams. Link, the hero of time, the sole source of hope in the kingdom.

Halfway through summer…

It was around noon, many people had already stopped by to see the hero, and the shrine where he rested was always crowded around noon, when most of the young woman and children came to see him.

It was unusually quiet that day, and no one was at the shrine yet, soon an older couple entered the shrine. Watching the hero, they remembered when he had first been brought here.

"Do you remember that day?" the woman said to her husband, unknown to them, a cloaked figure slipped into the shadows.

"You mean the day the hero was brought to Kakariko? Yes, I remember that day, seven years ago." the man replied,

"Princess Zelda was the one who suggested we bring him here," the wife said, her hands on the rope that separated the people from the hero's sleeping form inside the crystal.

The cloaked figure smiled, yes, she remembered that, the day Link had been sealed and she had suggested the people bring him here. The figure lifted its head slightly, and princess Zelda's face was visible under the cloak.

Princess Zelda, now 17, smiled slightly as she listened to the couple talk.

"Yes, she was, my people are hoping the princess will marry the hero, then peace can remain in Hyrule." the husband said, standing next to his wife.

The princess, smiled, yes, many people had hoped that she would fall in love with Link and marry him.

"Remember that one day? The day we though he had woken up?" the wife said, glancing at her husband with a smile,

"Yes, I remember that too." the husband said.

Flashback

Two years earlier, Link is 15 years old.

Inside the shrine, lots of people were watching the hero, especially young marriageable girls, a group of them stood in the front, watching Link and giggling as the pointed to his muscular form.

Suddenly, one of the girls screamed.

"Oh my gosh! He's awake! Everyone! The hero's awake!" Everyone started gasping and crowded around Link, Link's eyes fluttered open slightly, he glanced around at all the people, all of them waving and talking. Link's eyes wondered to the back for a moment, where a cloaked figure with blue eyes and golden hair stood, the figure raised her left hand, where her triforce mark was glowing. Link's eyes slowly closed again,

Many of the people stopped waving, disappointed that he had fallen back asleep.

Most of the girls began giggling and fighting over who he had looked at.

End flashback

The man smiled as he remembered how the young girls had argued for weeks on which girl the handsome hero had looked at.

Although he was pretty sure the hero hadn't looked at any of them…

The hero hadn't woken up anymore since that day, though many girls still came to see him.

Soon a little boy and him mother entered the shrine, the little boy was dressed exactly like the hero, and had a small wooden sword he was swinging around.

"Mother!" the little boy said, "is that the hero of time?" He asked, pointing to Link, his mother smiled, and moved to stand next to him.

"Yes, this is Link, the hero of time, one day he will wake up, and save us all." The boy looked up at his mother, his eyes shining in admiration.

"I want to be just like Link! The hero of time!" he announced, holding his sword up high. His mother smiled and ruffled his hair before she glanced back up at Link,

"But when will you awaken?" she whispered before she and her son left the shrine.

Princess Zelda watched them go, tears forming in her eyes as her gazed turned to Link, soon the other couple left as well, leaving Zelda alone with Link, carefully, she crossed the room to stand in front of him, pulling her hood down.

When will you awaken, hero of time? She thought, carefully she stepped over the velvet rope and stepped closer to the hero.

When will you awaken and fulfill you destiny as the hero of time? She wondered; she leaned closer and studied his face.

He looked so peaceful, his blond hair falling gently above his eyes, she remembered when she first saw those eyes, as blue as the sea.

His ears were long and pointy, with an earring in his right ear,

(I wonder how he gets an earring when he's sleeping?)

He has long eyelashes, Zelda thought,

Suddenly, his ear twitched, princess Zelda grinned, she wasn't surprised, after all, he was only sleeping, and being in a crystal cage doesn't mean he can't move.

Zelda gently touched the edge of the crystal, wondering what he was dreaming about that had made him twitch.

Quietly she stepped back and pulled her hood back up, she glanced back at him one more time before she left.

As she approached the doorway, a bunch of girls entered, paying no notice to Zelda as they raced each other over to Link.

"Hi cutie! I'm back!" One of the girls said, waving at Link,

"No way! You can't have him!" another girl said, she pushed the girl out of the way and waved at Link,

"Hi Hero! Oh he's so cute!" she said to the other girls, the other girls squealed and tried to push her out of the way. Soon all the girls were pushing and shoving and fighting over which of them Link liked.

Zelda rolled her eyes and approached the girls.

"Excuse me," she said, her voice low and mysterious, the girls all stopped in mid fight to stare at her.

"It is under my impression that the hero is asleep, and doesn't know any of you even exist, besides, I bet you girls don't even know his name." Zelda said, trying not to laugh.

"Well then what is his name mister-smarty-pants. What is his name? Under the circumstances that you even know his name." one of the girls said, her hands on her hips.

Zelda smirked, "his name is Link, mister-smarty-pants." Zelda said sarcastically, she turned to leave.

All the girls behind her began to squeal when they heard his name.

"Link! That name is so cute! Oh my gosh I LOVE IT!"

"His name is adorable!" The girls jumped up and down and continued squealing over his name.

Zelda rolled her eyes and left the squealing girls in Link's shrine, she stepped outside, blocking the sun with her hands as it shone in her eyes. Impa was waiting for her, she said nothing as the princess approached, she knew how much this meant to her.

Finally she said, "Are you ready princess?" Zelda nodded, and Impa threw a Duku nut on the ground, making both of them disappear.
