I really love the Male!Zelda x Fem!Link pairing but there's not a lot of it so I thought I'd contribute! I'm open to fanfic requests of this pairing if you want to leave a comment or pm, so feel free to do so! Obligatory Disclaimor: I don't own LoZ.

Just like always, the sun shone brightly over Castle Town, making it's residents take shade under the many trees located in the town square. Like every year, summer was hot with a warm breeze that made the heat barely bearable. But, seeing as this was the first year since Ganondorf's defeat the heat didn't seem to bother the residents of Hyrule like it used too. Everything was looking up.

Despite the knew positive attitude that filled the kingdom, I still hated the heat. Thankfully Zelda's castle was surprisingly cool with it's stone walls acting as a barricade against the insufferable heat. The Prince and I have been close since we met eight years ago, but I still continued to sneak into the castle whenever it pleases me. Plus the royal heir never seemed too upset about it so I never paid it much thought when I broke into his lavish home only to hog one of their large bathrooms for a relaxing, and long, soak in one of the many porcelain tubs that resided here.

The only negative point was Navi's almost constant nagging.

"Listen! What if someone SEE's you?!" The fairy flitted around my head as I reclined in the tub, feeling the cooling waters wash away any heat-induced stress that was making my muscles tense. She continued to point out things like my reckless behavior and lack of common sense but it was all muffled as I dunked my head into the cooling waters, enjoying the feeling of my short blonde hair moving with the small waves I created with my actions.

"It's fine Navi." I said after resurfacing, my hair and bangs plastered to my face and upper neck. "I've never even been close to getting caught." I tried to pacify my raging blue firefly of a fairy. "Nothing will happen."

She only scoffed at me. "You should've had the Triforce of Luck, not Courage."

A slight laugh escaped my mouth as I got out of the tub, water rolling down in droplets as I stood. By the time the water drained away I had already rebound my chest, pulled my clothes back on and reequipped my weapons. The worn fabric on my green tunic felt familiar against my skin.

"Finally." She complained, her blue light flickering as a way to display her impatience. "Why do you insist on taking suck long baths? And in Prince Zelda's castle to boot." Navi continued to ramble on about how I was going to turn her hair white with how stressed I make her.

"You worry too much." I argued as we left the bathroom, my signature hat in my hand and my perfectly broken-in boots making soft noises on the tiles of the palace floor. "When was the last time we even had any close calls? No one's going to find out and everything will be fine." I insisted as we made our way through the maze-like corridors of the castle.

"Fine." She scoffed, irritated. "But don't expect me to fix it if Prince Zelda fins out that-"

"When Prince Zelda finds out what?"

The sudden voice behind us made turn around only to come face-to-face with the dark-blonde ruler, one eyebrow raised in a questioning manor as he crossed his arms with an elegant smirk.

"Uhh..."

"When Zelda finds out what?" He reiterated, less amused than the first time.

"How much Link appreciates your friendship!" Navi replied, talking quickly in a shrill voice as she landed on top of my head, making a noise of disgust when she realized that my hair was still wet, and now she was too. "You see, back in the Kokiri Forest, our poor Link didn't really have any friends." She added on, piling more onto our lie.

"Mhm." Was the prince's only reply, it was obvious that he didn't buy Navi's excuse but wasn't going to push it any further. "Alright then." He said with a smirk before excusing himself to go complete his royal duties for the day.

"You owe me one." Navi gloated from on top of my head.

"Yeah yeah." I brushed her off as I continued my way back to Castle Town and the inn I was staying at. "Thanks a bunch."

Sometimes I just think it would be easier if I was honest with Prince Zelda and just told him I was a girl, but I could never work up the courage to do so.

The weather had finally started to cool down as the night drew near, a cool wind replacing its warm counterpart. This made it pleasant to travel through the town square.

I laid down in the shade of a large pine tree that resided in Hyrule Field, watching the sunlight drift through the leaves to make patterns on the soft grass that surrounded me. If it was before the war I would've fallen asleep easily right here, but after fighting for so long it's hard to stop thinking like a hero, to stop being paranoid. If I closed my eyes I could see all of the places I've been, people I've met and battle's I've fought. I thought that after Ganondorf was finally defeated then I could go back to being who I was, flip a switch and change from Hero of Time to the fairyless boy that was always picked on back in the forest.

I was wrong.

But I don't really want to go back to who I used to be, a shunned and submissive boy trying their hardest to not be noticed. Now I'm loved and appreciated for me work, made many friends and traveled to places that I never thought I could go. Sure I'm still technically female under this green tunic, but I've never felt more alive then I did fighting for the kingdom that I love, Prince Zelda loves, so much.

But there was nothing left to fight for, and it left me feeling a bit hollow inside. I'm bored.

I need a change.
