Title: Zelink Sleeping Beauty
Genre: Romance and Fantasy
Pairing: LinkxZelda
Hi everyone, this is my very first Legend of Zelda fanfic for this website. I have this story on as well and I've been wanting to put this on here since I've been on here more often now. Also, I have another Legend of Zelda Disney story in my head and I'm going to work on it once this one is done. I'm up to chapter 9 right now on my laptop and I have the next couple of chapters on here already. I just want people to see the first one and see what you all think since I've been more focused on my YuGiOh works and taking a break from them. I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1
The Betrothal and the Curse
Today was to be a joyful day in the great kingdom of Hyrule. Not only is the kingdom celebrating Princess Zelda's birthday, but the king Nador and his queen Yariem are announcing her betrothal to young Link, the son of one of the king's most loyal and brave knights Sir Orca and a beautiful noble woman that is a dear friend to the queen Lady Sibela.
As his mother and Queen Yariem presented Link to his future bride, who's smile is as bright as the ever shining sun, Link's face became warm with blush. Both being a little shy yet welcoming to each other, Link bowed to the princess and Zelda curtsied to the young knight, possibly feeling a little bit of fondness toward each other. Then the two children heard their mothers call them back over to the thrones to meet three special guests for the occasion.
When the trumpets sound, three specks of colored light appeared in the throne room. After enough time had past, the specks turned into three beautiful women clad in red, blue and green, the goddesses of Hyrule. Approaching the royal families, the three women curtsied and said with gentle voices, "Good morning."
Approving the goddesses with a single nod of his head, King Nador said, "Welcome back to Hyrule, Lady Din, Lady Farore, and Lady Nayru."
The red goddess, Din, stood tall on her feet and said as her sisters soon join her, "My sisters and I have gifts for the two children. Nayru, you start."
Bowing her head to her sister, the blue goddess knelt in front of the young princess, gently take her little hand into her grown ones, and said with a gentle voice, "Beautiful princess, I sense so much wisdom in your life. My gift is my powers of wisdom. Use them to protect this great kingdom. As long as you have my power, I am there for you, dear child."
After doing a little bit of magic, Nayru removed her hands from Zelda's little hand and the small princess saw a marking of the sacred object the Triforce on her hand with the left triangle more brighter than the other two.
When Nayru returned to stand next to her sisters, Din nod to Farore and the green goddess knelt in front of the young boy. Taking his small hand into her grown one, Farore said, "I can sense strong courage within your heart. Which is why I give you the gift of courage. As long as you have strong courage, you can over come any threat to you and the kingdom."
Doing the same thing her sister did to the princess, Farore marked Link's hand with the Triforce with the right triangle more brighter than the other parts of the symbol and Farore joined her sisters' side.
Just as Din is walking over to the children to give them the final gift of power, the wind all of a sudden picked up with the doors to the throne room bursting open. When the wind had settled, a dark man had appeared in the throne room, a few feet away from the royal families and the goddesses with a small group of woman behind him. Looking at the man and Gerudo women, Zelda hid behind Nayru and Link tried to be brave as he stood next to Farore.
"Ganondorf!" said Farore as she place a praising, comforting hand on Link's shoulder.
"What is he doing here?" said Nayru as she held Princess Zelda protectively in her arms when she went to her knees.
Smirking an evil smirk, Ganondorf said, "Well, I was curious as to what was going on in the castle since you have everyone in the kingdom; the commoners, the nobility, and even the goddesses. Since you have so many guests, I was wondering why I didn't receive an invitation for such an occasion."
"That's because you were not wanted for this celebration." Din reply as Nayru held Zelda closer and Farore's grip on Link's shoulder tightens slightly.
"Well, since this is such an important celebration, I'd best be on my way then." said Ganondorf as he started to turn to leave with the women close behind.
"Surely there's a reason why you are here, Ganondorf." said Queen Yariem with a polite tone of voice.
"Well, now that you've mentioned it, your majesty, I do have a gift to bestow upon your daughter." With the goddesses and Link being protective of Zelda, Ganondorf continued, "The princess shall indeed grow into a beautiful, wise princess. Loved by all who live in this kingdom and especially by those who know her. But, before the sun sets on her seventeenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die!"
Over come with fear for her daughter, Yariem wraps her arms around the little girl to protect her from his terrible words. Getting to his feet, Nador ordered his knights as he pointed at the laughing man, "Seize that villain."
However, before the knights could carry out the order, Ganondorf and his followers disappeared in a dark magic cloud. With Ganondorf gone, Din approached the king and queen who held her frightened daughter in her arms, "Don't worry, your majesties, I still have a gift to give to the child."
"Can you undo this fearful curse, Lady Din?"
"I'm afraid that's not possible. Ganondorf's powers are very powerful. But, there is something I can do." Placing her hands on the princess, Din said as she started to do a little bit of magic on her, "Little princess, there is a way to save you from such a fate. Yes, you will prick your finger, but you will not die. Instead you'll fall into a deep sleep. You'll be saved by a kiss of true love, and the spell shall break."
Okay, that's the first part of this story. I would like to know what you think, what do you like/dislike about the story. If I get enough, I'll put the next chapter in. Till next time.
