Dear diary,

I am afraid Link has done it. He has caught me under his spell. I have been dreading the day this would happen. I don't know what has gotten into me; I mean, he is just a poor boy who lives in the forest. I think things have been different because my dad has let him stay in the castle for a while. He thinks that makes him allowed to cast his little love spell on me. I will write again later, right now Link is at my door.

Zelda put down her diary to answer the door and just like she thought, Link was at her door.

"Hi, Link, what do you want?!" Zelda asked.

Link sat there batting his eyes at her.

"Eh huh, eh huh," Link said, smiling.

"Okay, I will think about it. Right now I don't think my guard will let me leave the castle," Zelda replied.

Then she slammed the door on Link's face, which she actually didn't want to do. Despite Link's inability to speak clearly 100% of the time, Zelda always understands him. Yet again, Zelda went and picked up her diary.

Dear diary,

Okay, Link got to be kidding me. He is so stupid that he actually asked me to go on a picnic with him at this time of night. I think I might need to sleep. My dad wouldn't like it if he found out I have been staying up at night, especially talking to Link. Link can get pesky at times, like the time he turned into a wolf and howled all night long for me to join him. So, I guess this is good night.

Zelda put up her diary and closed her curtains. She carefully moved the blanket and got into bed. She went to sleep, at least, for a little while, she did...

Dear diary,

I decided that I will go on Link's picnic now; the guards will most likely be sleeping. Now I just need to wake him up so we can go. I hope we have fun. Talk to you later.

Zelda slipped out of bed and snuck down the hallway and back up the other set of stairs to Link's bedroom. When she reached his door, she did a deep breath and knocked on door.

"Link, I am ready for our picnic," Zelda said in her sweet voice.

There was no answer so she opened the door.

"Link?" Zelda called.

Link was sleeping in his bed in his wolf form. Then, one of Link's ears perked up.

"Hah, Link, I knew you couldn't resist my offer," Zelda said.

Link went under the blanket, circled around a few times, and when his head reappeared from under the blanket, he was in his Hylian form again.

"Link, let's go...we don't have all night," Zelda said.

Link said, "Hold on,"

"Oops," Zelda said as she left the room so Link can redress himself in his tunic.

A short time later, Link exited his room in his green tunic and lead Zelda to the door.

After awhile, Link and Zelda walked down the castle grounds without the guards knowing. They traveled to the lake by the stream far away from the castle. This location was not on the map so it surprised Zelda that Link actually knew how to get to it.

"Oh, Link, this is so lovely. Can we do this every night?" Zelda asked Link.

Link nodded. Zelda gently stroked Link's arms. After they ate dinner they decided to hang out at their secret picnic ground until the King was to send his guards to look for Zelda.

Later, they snuck out through Link's secret exit and ran along back to the castle. Zelda entered without the King noticing and snuck into her room to write in her diary.

Dear diary,

He did it again! He tricked me into going on a date with him at midnight. Oh, man is my dad going to be mad at me when he finds out I went on a date with a commoner. Oh, here he is now knocking on my door. I will write back.

Zelda got up from her desk to answer the door. Her father was standing there with a concerned look on his face.

"Yes, daddy?" Zelda asked.

"Zelda, I am so glad you are safe. I was so worried about you when your guard reported you missing. Where were you?!" the king asked.

"Daddy, I am so sorry! I wasn't thinking, but I won't do it again." Zelda promised.

"Where were you and were you with someone?!" the king asked, now he was demanding answers.

"I can't tell you anything, but I think Link has made me sick," Zelda said.

"How so Zelda? Was he with you?!" the king asked.

"Yes, daddy, Link was with me," Zelda admitted.

"Ahhhh!" the king yelled.

"I am sorry; you wouldn't hurt your one and only daughter would you?" Zelda asked.

"No, Zelda, I would never hurt you, but I am very upset with you," the king replied.

"Thank you, daddy," Zelda said.

"Zelda, I still want to know...how did Link make you sick?" the king asked.

"Oh, daddy...it's really awful! to put it easy, Link has casted his spell on me," Zelda said.

"No, no, no, we can't keep Link around here any longer! We can't have him putting spells on you... What kind of spell is it?" the king asked.

"No, daddy, if you remove him the problem would only grow worse. I made a name for this spell, but I don't think I should tell you," Zelda said, blushing.

"Why dear?" the king asked.

"Well, the symptoms are, randomly stroking his arms, doing crazy things when he is around, and do things without realizing it," Zelda said, blushing harder.

"Oh, Zelda, that sounds awful! What do you call this spell?" the king asked.

"I call this spell, 'Love'," Zelda responded.

The king almost fainted when he heard Zelda say this.

Link slid into the room and hugged onto Zelda. Apparently he had been listening in and chose this moment to make his presence known.

"No, no, no, Zelda! You cannot love this commoner!" the king responded.

"But, daddy, I can't help it," Zelda whined.

"No, no, no, no, no, Zelda!" the king yelled. He just keeps getting angrier and angrier!

"What are you going to do about it?" Zelda asked.

"I am going to have to get rid of Link and send him back to his house far, far, away from here," the king replied.

"Daddy, no, I love Link!" Zelda whined, hugging Link.

"Zelda, it's what's best for the two of you. Just let Link go," the king said.

"Daddy, no, you said you would never hurt me! If you get rid of Link that will hurt me!" Zelda said.

"Link has to go. It doesn't matter if it hurts you or not; I don't care if you go back to standing by your window looking sad, Link has to go!" the king shouted.

Zelda ran upstairs to her room, crying and sobbing.

Dear diary,

This is the saddest moment of my life...it's even worse than when Zant attacked the castle. I am being separated from Link... I hope I will one day see him again. My dad doesn't even care if I go back to being sad... My best moments in life I shared with Link. What am I going to do without Link? At exactly 7:00 AM I will watch Link being taken away from me. My life will never be the same. I will write back soon or never.

Zelda put down her diary and shoved it onto the bookshelf and noticed a photo album. She carefully grabbed it off the shelf. Inside the photo album was tons of pictures of her and Link throughout the year.

"Wow, we have done so much together," Zelda whispered.

Finally, the clock struck 7 and Zelda rushed downstairs.

"Zelda, are you ready to say good bye to Link?" the king asked.

Zelda hopped into the carriage with Link. Link handed Zelda half of a triangle necklace that said 'Best'.

"Oh, Link, I am so sorry my dad has to do this to you..." Zelda whispered to Link.

Link said, "Zelda, I love you."

"Oh, Link...that is so touching." Zelda said.

After an hour of riding, they pull up to Link's shabby little house outside of Ordon Village.

"Oh, Link, I will miss you so much," Zelda cried.

"Zelda, you'll always be in my heart," Link whispered.

"Okay, you little rascal, here you are back at home," the king said to Link.

"No, no, no, no, no!" Link screamed as the king picked him up and placed him in his house.

"Goodbye!" Zelda called out.

The king turned after closing the door on Link and returned to the carriage.

"Goodbye..." Zelda whispered again.

"Goodbye!" Link cried out, followed by a string of grunts that only Zelda would understand.

Dear diary,

Link is gone, but I have his best friend charm. Do you think I will see him again? I am crying so much for him. I mean, how would you feel if your love was taken? Goodbye Link, goodbye love, goodbye diary.

Zelda put up her diary and sobbed some more.

One month later,

Link gets on Epona to go for a little ride all by himself. Then, Epona started galloping and taking him away. Finally, Link realized where they were going; they were going to the castle. They arrived late at night. Link quickly turned into a wolf and scurried up the roof to Zelda's room. He popped into a window and walked down the hallway to Zelda's room. He pushed open the door and let out a loud bark.

"Link?" Zelda cried.

Link came closer to Zelda so she could see his necklace.

"Oh, Link, I knew you would come!" Zelda cried and she hugged Link.

"Link, please come by every night. I love you so much," Zelda said.

Link let out another loud bark.

"Link, you better leave quickly before my daddy finds out that you're back," Zelda replied.

Link licked Zelda and jumped to the window.

"Goodbye, Link!" Zelda cried.

Link let out another bark and jumped out the window.

Link returned home by morning, but he always stops by Hyrule Castle for a visit.

The End.
