Navi guided me to Hyrule Castles' draw bridge, and I stepped over the broken pieces that had not been rebuilt since our victory. I remember the last time I saw Zelda; she was crying over me, and I could barely open my eyes, I was so hurt, I was dying. She had begged me to live. She said something that made my wounds hurt even more.

She said she loved me.

Three days have passed, when I finally gained energy to release a healing fairy from my bag, and since then; I've been walking.

My blood is dry, and I feel stiff. The market place people who had become refugee's in different towns had come back to the market place. The lovers who I once saw kiss are older, sitting on the well. The girl who once chased cuckoos catches me as I collapse and gives me water, knowing very well who I am. She offers me a place to rest, but I resist. I need to see Zelda.

I'm not a little kid anymore, and I just walk passed the guards, them welcoming me closer and closer to Zelda. I go inside, and bow to the king, wishing to speak with Zelda. Then everything goes black.

I open up my eyes to a dark room with an open balcony, light coming in—enough for me to see the designs in the room, and on the bed. The door flies open and Zelda sees my open eyes and rushes to my side, crying again.

"They told me terrible things!" She gasps.

"What things?" I ask.

"You lay on the ground bleeding after Ganondorf died and you wouldn't stop bleeding! They said you died and I didn't believe it and I started to lose control and they took me away. I saw you come to the castle and they said you were a zombie and when you died in the throne room they told me you were looking for me and—!" Zelda keeps crying.

I remember it, after she confessed to me she started screaming and they took her away. I start holding your cheek. "They can't kill me," I say, and she keeps crying. "I'll always come back and save you."

I sit up and realize I've been bleeding again. Zelda doesn't seem to notice and throws her arms around me, blood soaking onto her dress. "You saved us all..."

"I remember what you said," I say, and now I'm holding her in my arms, looking down at her. "About how your heart beated slow when you saw me, about how you started out counting on me to being unspeakably in love with me. I remember."

She puts her hands resting on my chest, me still holding her. "And how did you survive through it?"

"I started out trying to save the world to trying to find you." Then our lips slowly touch...

THANKS FOR READING! This is my first fanfic! :D

I want you to think about Links line: "I started out trying to save the world to trying to find you", and imagine Link (OoT) as a kid saving the world, and when he turned into an adult fighting just to find her! KYAAA! *fangirl scream shakes the house* give me tips because this is my first on and give me a prompt!

The prompt needs to be: Zelda related (sadly I've only played Oot and Majora's Mask) I can do Malink or whatever. Sorry I'm so limited!
