"But, father!" Zelda yells out trying to reason with her stubborn father, "Link saved the whole world, and I wish him to be my husband!" she attempts to sway her father with a pout. "No," he starts, "that boy is nothing but a commoner, all he is good at is running around causing trouble."'But...father," Zelda starts to tear up, the water welling up in her eyes, "I love..." she gets cut off by her father, "you will not marry a common boy such as that, and that is final, I won't hear another word of it or I'll have Impa confine you to your room." he states with a huff as he walks out to the throne room, 'to take care of matters of the state'. Zelda looks around the room, she notices Impa standing in a dark corner, listening in on her conversation, no doubt, and waves her over. "My princess, my tribe is sworn to protect the royal family, on our lives," Impa starts before Zelda has a chance to say anything, "you disobeying your father isn't something that I would recommend..." Zelda cuts her off, "My father is a fool, he doesn't realize that it was Link that saved Hyrule from the clutches of Ganondorf, and that it is Link that I am in love with. Ever since he returned from his journey to find Navi, he has come to visit me, and you," Zelda points at Impa, "have been helping us, by teaching me the ways of your tribe." Impa gives Zelda a small grin, as she walks the rest of the distance between them. "So, my princess, you think I would side with your father and have you wed some noble boy?" She walks around Zelda with a hand on her shoulder, "Do you forget, seven years ago, who helped you to get that boy out of the castle?" Impa places her hand squarely on Zelda's back, in between her shoulder blades, "I am with you my princess, the royal line has nothing to do with who rules Hyrule." Zelda looks over her shoulder to see a smile on the older Impa's face and then a blinding flash and the world around her spinning, and if it were her first time doing this Zelda would have been on her knees in the grass outside of the town, which is where Impa took them. "My princess, I will follow your heart, since it has not led us astray." Impa says slamming a fist to her chest in salute. Zelda turns around and jumps on top of Impa squeezing her tightly. "You are just the best!" Zelda lets out as she hears a familiar whiney behind her. "Well I was hoping we'd have your father's blessing, but if he's going to be stubborn about one thing, I suppose he'll be stubborn about it all," the familiar timbre of his voice, like satin against the skin, makes her heart melt all over again. Zelda turns around to see her hero sitting atop his beautiful steed. "You were waiting here?" Zelda asks, somewhat confused by his presence. "Would you rather I had waited for you in the forest?" his smile as he dismounts makes Zelda forgive the teasing. As he lands on the ground Zelda tackle hugs him, trying to surprise him, but it doesn't, he spins with her in his arms, bringing her face closer to his, giving her a small peck on the lips. "My princess, should that we carry on with this elsewhere, so that your father doesn't find out about this immediately," Link nods to Impa and lifts Zelda up onto Epona, "Let's go my dear," Link says hoisting himself back up. "You'll be able to find us?" Link looks at Impa, she nods and throws a deku nut at the floor, a loud bang and flash cover her exit back into Castle Town. "Where are we going?" Zelda asks, looking at Link as he spurs Epona into a trot. "A small present for you that I've been working on in my spare time," Link says with a smile.
