A Zelda Fanfic

The Choice

Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend Of Zelda franchise.

After months of countless battles, Link had finally rescued Hyrule from Ganondorf. Now, to the tough part.

Link had rode out to an isolated spot in Hyrule Field to think about his current situation. He could become Zelda's personal bodyguard and a knight, or he could return home to Ilia and stay a goat herder. It seemed like an easy decision, but at the same time it wasn't. He was sure that he could start a relationship with both women at the moment. Though he had known Ilia all of his life, there was something about Zelda that he couldn't shake. It was almost as if they were linked together by destiny. Because of his experiences, he knew they probably were linked somehow. But then, Ilia. She used to be everything to him, and he knew he still loved her. He had a home and a family-of-sorts in Ordon, and he may be throwing that away if he left them to become a knight.

He thought and thought, even for days, until he finally came to the conclusion that he needed the one person he currently didn't have access to: Midna. He hopped onto Epona and headed for the castle. He was stopped by the guards at the gate.

"Whoa, where do you think you're going, pal?"

"If you'll excuse me, I need to see the princess."

"Are you kidding me? NO ONE sees the princess, especially during post-war time. She is currently recuperating from her battle with Ganondorf, so if you will just get on out..."

A gentle voice sounded. "Gentleman, that is quite enough. Please allow Sir Link to pass."

Link hopped off his horse as she was led to the stables. He walked along side Zelda into the castle.

"Sir Link, huh?"

"I used the name because I trust you have accepted my offer."

"Not yet, Princess. Before I do, I must speak with someone in the Twilight Realm."

"Ah, Midna. The Twilight Princess."

"Is your magic powerful enough to take me to her?"

"Well..."
