"What happened after the battle"
by TWILIGHTLINK15
I ADMIT THAT THIS STORY COULD CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE TWILIGHT PRINCESS ENDING... AND I GUESS THIS STORY HAS SOME ZELINK IN IT 3!
SUMMARY: HAH, who even knows what happened after the TP Ganon battle? All of the clues from the credits don't seem to satisfy me enough... so I made up my own story that will maybe solve your wonders too! Sorry if there is any spelling errors and such. This will be a story with a few short chapters that will be frequently updated. It will be in chapters like : night one, morning 3... etc! lol, on with the story...
date started: 11/27/07
As Link gazed from where he stood, he examined the sky briefly and to no surprise at the time; night was approaching. The hero barely had any rest for the past week due to his many dangerous encounters. He was tired, and longed for rest.
Knowing that, he would probably have to wait until he and his partner Zelda found the damp grass of lake Hylia.
Link wasn't the only tired one on this journey from the desert to the lake. Zelda also loomed rest, and she knew she couldn't keep walking on the sand with her high-heels.
"So, Princess-" Link started but was then cut off."Please Link. Call me Zelda," Zelda replied with a small smile.
"… So, Zelda. Because night will soon fall over this desert - and the rest of Hyrule, would you mind taking shelter until dawn sets?"
"Not at all, Link. I actually was thinking the same thing."
"Ok then… it looks like we will have to head towards the cave of the ordeals," Link responded as he motioned to the biggest plateau in the desert.
Because of the short distance to the plateau, the pair was there in only a few minutes. Getting to their destination was very easy; now they just had to climb up to the peak.
After climbing the first large step, Zelda asked Link "Umm… Link?… How in the name of Fayore are we supposed to get to the top of this plateau?"
"Easy question," Link told Zelda as he swooped her up in his arms, with his clawshot targeted to the dying cactus (a/n… to me they look dead peoples!!!).
At first, Zelda was a bit frightened that the cactus would pierce her or Link; and that could stall their journey back to lake Hylia. Now that she remembered well – and trusts him, that he will always protect her, at all costs… even by the minor prick of a cactus.
Zelda's thoughts were interrupted when Link said "Hold on tight!"
Link released the trigger button on his clawshot, as Zelda held on for dear life. Before she knew it; in about a second she knew they'd hit solid land.
"Here, let me carry you up these few rocky areas… then I'll be glad to let you down at the top," Link told Zelda gleefully.
Link would've never believed that he missed someone with him; Midna. Sure she was a hell of an annoyance at times, but Link knew he had some sort of a bond with her. Like a brother and sister bond that he could trust her… yet she was still annoying, and slightly immature(a/n I thought Midna was a little bit immature… hehe… no offense Midna lovers!).
A few steps nearing the peak, Link asked Zelda, "Zelda… is it possible to restore the mirror of twilight? You know… to bring back Midna?"
"I don't believe that I know of another entrance, but when I become queen I will have access to all documents… and it could lead to finding an answer to your question."
Finally Link had carried Zelda up all the way to the peak of the plateau. Both Hylians appreciated the scenic view that spread across their eyes.
"Do you miss her?" Zelda asked with an ounce of concern in her voice.
"I do… but more as a true sibling. Growing up all by yourself with nobody related to you nearby… maybe that's why I didn't take it so harsh," Link responded.
An awkward silence bear with the couple, until Link broke it by saying "My goddesses! Zelda, I am sorry I forgot my manners! Please, let me place my extra tunic on the ground for you to rest on… and a fire! Yes, I'll start one right away!"
As Link was placing her on the somehow stable sandy floor, Zelda said, "Why thank you Link… though you are too kind to lend me your spare tunic for me to sit upon. Please, … keep your extra tunic to yourself. You might need it later."
Link smiled joyfully at how kind the princess of Hyrule really was. Through some of his own journey to rescue Zelda, he overheard some rumors of the princesses so-called 'rudeness'. Well, those rumor-makers had been completely wrong. About everything.
Link thought of Zelda as an extremely positive person, a strong woman, and a dear friend. He even felt as if he met her before… any of this twilight nonsense. As in a past life or something… (a/n cough!). At times of her boldness and wisdom, Link barely even knew Zelda, yet he still felt like he was falling in love… with her.
Zelda was much like the same as Link. She on the other hand thought about Link as her noblest knight… her hero. Like Link, she even felt as if the two had known each other before. Her conclusion was that in her past life they must've been friends in order to be this close. She has the same feelings for Link, but doesn't have the courage to tell him.
Moments later Link returned from retrieving some tinder to start the fire. Link had only received a few bulblin wooden attacking swords… but it was enough to last for their time until their early morning departure.
"Hey Link?" Zelda asked.
"Yes, Zelda?"
"Is there enough time for us to at least take a nap before we leave?"
"Ahh…" Link then took a few seconds to observe the sky. "I think from the way the lighting is in the sky, we should have just about seven hours before sunrise. That's definitely enough time to even sleep."
Zelda then let out a sigh of relief. "Ok, that is very good to hear… and I know this is a little bit off the topic but… do you have some sort of blanket you carry around with you by any chance for us to rest on?"
'Us…' Link thought. "Hmm… I do believe I have some extra fabrics from my old ranch outfits that I used to repair them. That I should have enough of for you to rest on comfortably," Link said as he pulled out the extra ranch fabric he used for repairing them. There was defiantly enough for the both of them to lay on for the night, but of course he said 'comfortably'.
"Also, I do remember winning this free blanket at a target practice tournament as well. It kept me warm when I was freezing cold up in Snowpeak… now hopefully it will be warm when you use it," Link said as he was smiling, opening up a small compartment in his belt (a/n.. err, I couldn't explain that well enough… well anyways if your ever wondering how the blanket fit into links belt compartment, watch the old 80's Zelda cartoon !) pulling out the blanket.
Zelda just was beaming at Link while he wrapped the blanket snuggly around her. She really couldn't even think of a man kinder than her hero at the moment.
"I know this really isn't the best a man could offer to a princess… but I hope it'll do," Link stated.
"Oh no, … why Link this is one of the sweetest things a man has ever done for me. Err, actually it is probably the sweetest thing any person has done for me in a while."
Link responded to her, "well I suggest you start sleeping before the sun rises. I talked to an Ococco in the cave (a/n… err spelling.. and yea I made up the part where ococco is in the cave of the ordeals…) and told it to get us up – if we're not at sunrise."
"That's good to hear,"
"Yes, it is. Now we know that we'll surely be able to get to the castle in roughly three days! Ha ha ha…" Link laughed, even Zelda chuckled a little bit. "Ok, now before I watch out for enemies that can possibly attack you during the night… do you need anything?" Link asked intently.
Zelda watched the wind slowly howling deeper and deeper and she finally responded, "I don't believe I do at the moment… thank you though."
"No problem," Link responded with a slight shiver… barely noticeable.
Of course as the keeper of the triforce of wisdom, Zelda could easily aware that he was getting quite cold from the dry desert temperature.
Just as Link was trying his best to make a comfortable resting area, Zelda said, "Link… I see that you are getting chilly… as I might admit this blanket does help keep me warm. Would you like for me to share you're blanket with you?"
Link was a little shocked, but because he was cold he said, "Thank you Zelda, that was very kind of you."
Link, now very glad to feel a great bond already between Zelda and him, slowly got up and crawled to where Zelda was.
"Your welcome," Zelda responded, as she lifted the blanket for Link to have a less difficult time to get in.
Once the two were comfortably lying on the floor, Zelda gently placed the warm blanket over them. Link was pleased to be that the blanket was a lot warmer than the cold dry desert air.
"Goodnight Princess, " Link whispered to Zelda.
"Goodnight to you too my hero."
