Zelda's POV:
Link woke up screaming. "Link, it's okay. I'm here. I'm here." He was crying, tears streaming down his face. 'It's okay. What happened?"
"I had a nightmare." He began. "I-I saw you fall to your death. And then a strange man came up to me and slit my throat. it was horrible. I hate sleeping!" even I had to laugh. He looked at me through his tears.
"Oh, sorry. No laughing," I said putting on y best fake solemn face. He started laughing. I laughed too. "So, what are we going to do today?"
"I was thinking that we could try to start building our house now. What do you think?"
"I think that sounds like a great idea!" I answered him. "Where are we going to put it up?"
Link looked puzzled. "Hmmmm, I guess we should go searching."
"Okay."
"Well don't head off quite yet." His words stopped me. "We still have to have breakfast."
"No you still have to go out and catch breakfast." I said smiling. Link scowled at me. I laughed "And while you're off doing that, I think that I will go out and try to find some fruit. Best of luck to you though." I got up and walked over to a fruit tree in the Sealed grounds near the statue. It had some delicious looking apples. I picked four and put three of them in my pockets and took a bite out of the last one. It tasted so good! "Mmmmm."
I walked back into the Sealed Temple. I looked once more to where the old Impa had been sitting when I first arrived in this sacred place. She had pointed me in the direction of the Skyview Temple where I met her younger self. So many memories. So many painful and happy memories. Now Impa was gone, having passed away when her purpose was fulfilled. I wished she were here now so that I could just talk to her. Impa had been a very good friend. I only wish I had gotten to know her better.
I walked through the door that led to Faron Woods in order to meet Link on his way back from catching whatever he could get for breakfast. I saw him sitting under a tree cooking a couple skinned squirrels over a fire. He was talking to Machi, Lopsa, Erla, Oolo, and Yerbal the Kikwis. For those of you who don't already know, kikwis are small, fat, penguins with plants growing out of their backs. Bucha, the Kikwi elder, a huge, fat kikwi was asleep up in his spot on the ground above them.
Link turned and saw me, "Ah, there you are Zelda. Did you get some good fruits to go along with our squirrel?"
"Yes!" I replied. "I got us some very tasty apples. I tossed him one. "Hello little guys," I said to the Kikwis. They all looked at me.
"Oh, look!" said the Kikwi called Machi. "It's the weird blond girl from before that Link was looking for. Link! Link! I found her!"
Link started laughing. "Yes, you sure did. Here, have a piece of apple." he cut a piece off his apple with a knife. The Kikwi started to fight themselves for the apple and then all fell down. 'These little guys are so clueless sometimes,' I thought to myself. I was laughing too.
"Well looks like our squirrels are done," he said proudly. He speared one on a stick and handed it to me. He picked one up and took a great big bite out of it. I did the same. I have never eaten squirrel before and had no idea how to actually eat it. But Link knew exactly what he was doing. I just tried to copy what he did. Then I gave up. I threw the remnants of my squirrel at him and took out another one of my apples to chew on. He was laughing the whole time.
"What, you don't want the squirrel that I cooked perfectly just for you?" he said with as much sarcasm as he could muster.
"No, I don't want your stupid squirrel. It tastes bad." I said smiling.
"Zelda...tsk tsk tsk. How could you lie to me. I didn't think you could lie. Isn't there some law stating that Zelda is not allowed to lie?"
"No, there isn't," I told him.
"Well then, I aim to make it one. Besides, this food tastes amazing!"
"Okay. It does taste good, but I don't know how to eat squirrel and don't feel like learning how today."
"But Zelda, if you don't learn, how will you learn to eat the food I make, because this is how I am going to make it for every single meal. If you don't learn, you may go hungry."
"Okay, fine. Teach me how to properly eat squirrel." He smiled at me and I smiled back.
"Well, first, you need to ..." he trailed off when he saw me looking at him. Then I pulled me to his face and kissed him, and he kissed me back. I knocked him onto his back and started kissing him harder. He responded by lifting my face from his, "No, Zelda." he said sitting up. "We are not doing this now. Now, when you eat a squirrel, you have to..."
