A/N: Hey everybody! So just to clarify, this story does not take place after any particular game. However, it will feature characters such as Malon and Impa. How long it will be will probably depend on how much you guys are enjoying it, so reviews are always welcome! Lastly, this story will alternate the point of view between Zelda and Link.

Chapter One: Zelda's P.O.V

I have been courted by many men by the time I turned eighteen. Many of them have been very kind and gracious, but not once have I found a person whom I have truly connected with.

Now, I do not expect to fall in love or anything. I simply want someone who I feel like I can talk to. I guess that is the price you pay for being a princess.

I love being a princess of course. I am extremely grateful for my family and my people. I am thankful for all of the wonderful experiences I have had. However, every once in a while, I wonder what life would be like if I was not born into the royal family. Maybe I would get the chance to make a few friends (besides Impa and Link, of course), or better yet, fall in love.

I know that people use the term "first love" a lot, but I have not gotten the chance to experience my first love. Surely, I will not get to experience my second.

My point is, this is the reason why I am sitting at a table with my parents who I have not spoken too in about three days. Its not that we are mad at each other or anything like that, they are just too busy for me. So I spend my days wasting away in my room, waiting for Link or Impa too stop by.

Even when they stop by, they cannot stay for as long as I would like them too. That's the difference between us. They have lives and I do not.

"You could always be courted by Link. He may not be a noble, but he the hero of Hyrule." My father suggested. Ew. Just ew. Me and Link? Yeah, hes attractive and all, but hes just so cocky and arrogant. "Oh I defeated Ganondorf and save all of Hyrule! I'm so cool! Nothing can stand in my way!" I mock him in my head.

"That might work. Why don't you talk to him about it the next time he comes to see you." My mother tells me before being dismissed. Like usual, I get no input on the situation. I do what I am told, and that's about it. No more, no less.

Of course, I have no time to prepare what I am going to say to Link, for he is coming over for dinner at sunset. When I look out of the window, the sun has almost set. I rush up stairs to my living quarters to freshen up.

I brush my long blond hair, powder my face, and put on a bit of mascara. "You know you don't have to impress me, right?" A voice says from behind me.

"Link! You can't just let yourself in! What if was naked?" I shout at him. I notice a cut on his right cheek. He must have gone on an adventure today.

"Well, if you where naked, I would run out of the castle and burn the image out of my eyes." He says with a laugh.

"Oh, yeah! Just like I wanna do when I see your face!" I tell him with satisfaction.

"Someone is sassy today," He says as he makes himself comfortable. He kicks off his shoes and and throws his coat on my bed. "So whats for dinner?"

"I requested chicken, but I don't know what kind it will be." I walk over to him and touch the scratch on his cheek. "What happened?"

"Oh nothing. I accidentally stepped on a cuckoo's foot." I laugh at his clumsiness. We walk over to the dinning table in my living quarters, while we wait for a servant to bring us food.

"So, who is your latest lady friend?" I ask him with a curios look on my face. Link always has a girl attached to him. While he has never had an official girlfriend, he has girl who does 'stuff' with. But who can blame him when he has girls knocking at his door 24/7?

"Her name is Malon. Her father owns the Lon Lon Ranch. Shes not the prettiest but shes still pretty. Nice boobs though. Id give her a solid seven out of ten." Yes, this is the kind of stuff that we talk about. I'm not an expert at friendship, but I sometimes wonder if he thinks of me as a guy.

"So speaking of dating and stuff..." I begin as a maid comes in with our food. She brings out a cart with a large roasted chicken, a salad, and mashed potatoes.

"Ahhhh. Dinner at the castle is always the best!" Link says before jumping in.

"As I was saying-"

"Hey, do you think you could call in a maid to bring us some gravy?" He asks.

"Yeah," I say before calling a maid. "So my parents think-"

"Yes?" The maid says as she comes in.

"Can you bring me some gravy?" Link asks.

"Of course, sir." She says before bowing and backing out of the room.

"My parents-" I begin before being interrupted again by the maid with gravy.

"Oh yum!" Link says pouring the gravy on the mashed potatoes.

"Are you happy now?" I ask him making sure that it is okay to begin.

"Yeah,"

" My parents think that you should-"

"Damn, is this stuff good!" He says scarfing down chicken.

At this point, I am aggravated by the constant interruptions. To get it over with, I stand up to get his full attention. "My parents think you should court me!" I spit out before I am interrupted again. I immediately feel my face get red. What if he thinks that's disgusting? What if he does not want to? That would be so embarrassing.

After a few moments of processing what I said, Link looks up at me. "Sure," He says.

What? For some reason, I expected him to say no. "Oh. Well that was a lot easier than I thought it would be." I say as I settle back into my seat.

"Well, I mean just because I am courting you, doesn't mean that we have to get married. Besides, the people of Hyrule would love it." He says as he begins to eat his food again. I do not know why, but part of what he says bothers me. Maybe its the part about how he is doing it for the people. Why is he not doing it for me? Or maybe, its the fact that he is positive that we will not get married. You never know! Maybe we will get married! Oh my... what has gotten into me? I do not want to marry Link either, so why does it matter.

"Right," I say as I begin to eat the food on my plate.

"So, this morning when I was going to the market..." Link begins. I tune him out though. My chest feels weird, like I am having trouble falling. Actually, it more like that feeling you get when you fall. But I am not falling, or as far as I know I am not.

For a moment I look up at Link. He is lucky. He will get to fall in love with any girl he wants. I hope he gets married to a beautiful woman, has a few kids, and enjoys his life. Those who get to experience true love are lucky, whether its mutual or not.

I look out of the window by the dinning table and admire the stars. I find nature beautiful. I feel like every feature of nature represents a part of our life.

There are so many stars.

I try to count them. One, two, three, four... I quickly lose track of which stars I have counted. I have a feeling that somewhere out there, someone is there waiting to fall in love with me like I am waiting to fall in love with them. There is just one million too many people for me to find them.

Just like there are one million too many stars too count.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Remember, reviews are always welcome! I hope you all are looking forward to the next chapter which will be in Link's point of view!
