A/N: Oh man, what am I doing? I already have so much stuff I need to finish but this story will not leave me alone so here it goes. I know it won't be as big of a hit as my Cloti stuff. But I am hoping you guys will appreciate a Zelink story in the making. I told SkyFairy02 that if I ever made another Zelink story I would dedicate it to them. So, here you go. And it is also of course for my partner DeadlyDragon12 cause he's a big Zelink fan just like me. Rated M of course for violence, graphical scenes, gore, and language. Note, not for the squemish.
My life for your's
Zelda trudged back through the doors of Ganondorf's castle, her clothing still soaked. When the solid doors closed behind her, a snicker echoed around her.
" What is the matter Princess? Thinking of escaping got you all...wet?" Dark Link laughed as his appearence became known in the giant hall mirror.
" Oh fuck off, Dark one " Zelda cursed as she ran her fingers through her hair.
" Oooh, testy are we? And why is that? You get to go out in the sun, have the freedom to explore the grounds. I can be your guide if you would like...it gives me a chance to walk around in the Light. "
" I thought the light hurt your eyes. "
" You know, you could be a little nicer to the person who plans on getting you out of here and telling you what exactly happened " Dark Link growled as his image shimmered and disappeared. Zelda's anger died down as she sighed.
" I'm...I'm sorry. This place is enveloped in darkness...its not good for one such as myself to stay here so long...forgive me? " she asked innocently with a smile. Dark Link re-appeared his arms crossed, his expression set into a pout. He almost looked like a child, making Zelda smile.
" I suppose I could this once..." Dark Link grumbled. Zelda ran her fingers through her soaked golden hair before walking up the stairs and back to her room. She paused along the way and stared at Link's door. Sighing she gathered her courage and knocked lightly. A tired groan answered her before the lock of a door slid back. Zelda watched the door open as Link stuck his head through the opening. She supressed the urge to laugh, he had atroticious bed hair. He blinked sleepily at her before sliding the door back completely, his body resting against the door frame.
" Can I help you? " he yawned, his hand bunching into a fist to hide his escaping air. Zelda smirked sarcasticly.
" You can stop with the fake essence of sleep, your bed is still completely made and your sharpening tools for your weapons is still spinning." Link turned his head and watched the spinning stone continue before a laugh escaped his lips. He smoothed his hair and his sudden tired features woke up.
" Smart girl, but I suppose that you should be, being Wisdom and all. " Zelda pushed past him and sat on his bed before looking around. Link sighed heavily and closed the door and then proped his back against the solid oak. She folded her hands within her lap and looked up at him with a cheerful smile.
"Well now...let us see if we can come to an agreement."

Farora sat silently on her thrown as a magical image of her former messenger suddenly formed. She tapped her golden finger against her lips, her green eyes ablaze. An angry growl escaped her as she glared at his soul's happiness. He still bore her mark, still was a ruthless fighter, making a mockery of her to the towns folk. He deserved death, no, a fate worse than death. Link was one soul to have lived after betraying a Goddess. Farora cursed under her breath, cursed him and her own weak heart. She had pitied the boy who lost his parents to their war, but admired his strength and the will of his heart. But in the end, he was still a mortal idiot. She closed her green orbs and dismissed the image before getting up and walking to a weird painting. Waving her hand she entered the portrait and pulled until a familar figure of another princess appeared. Farora smiled delicately, but cruel as well.
" Let us see whose heart you value more " she whispered as all Midna's memories came back full force. The twilight princess grabbed her temples in pain as she was teleported the world of light once more. Farora seated herself once more on her thrown and watched carefully, her hands folding as a smirk settled upon her delicate Goddess lips.

" Like this? "
" Almost. Tilt your body more towards me then smoothly and lightly guide with your hands."
" Oh...like this? "
" Right there...that is perfect." Zelda smiled as she held the Master Sword close to the spinning stone. Link sat at the foot of his bed, watching her carefully. If she even slightly nicked the blade, he'd be in very big trouble. + You perverted freaks thought I had something else.lol+ Link got to his feet and placed his hands lightly on her shoulders, easing her left and right. The blade slid across the stone, sharpening within seconds. Link removed it and placed the weapon back within its sheath. A light knock sounded at his door, causing the two of them to look up.
" Come in." Nabooru opened the door, her eyes drifted to the ground. Zelda was about to speak when Ganondorf walked into the room after her. He had his hands clasped behind his back, much like a general would, his head held high. Zelda's eyebrows furrowed as Link stared him in the eyes, the highest of disrespect. Ganondorf ignored it as he looked at Zelda.
" It is time for you to surrender the city of Hyrule to under my power."
" What?"
" Your citizens will not listen to me without your rule of doing so. So therefore I need you to announce me the new king."
" It will never work. They will want me still in charge, making you king will not do anything."
" By declaration it won't. But by marriage it will." Zelda's expression horrified.

Guerdo severants attended to Zelda without her call. They fit her for her wedding dress, even though she shoved their hands away from her bodice each time. Disgust replaced horro at the fact that on her return to her kingdom, she would be the new queen, and her people would be doomed. Tears slid down her cheeks and dripped off her chin. A dark hand caressed her skin softly, wiping the tears away. Zelda jerked her head away from the desert king.
" Keep your filthy hands off me."
" You can only deny me for so long, until our honey moon." Zelda made a noise of disgust as she shivered.
" I will not allow you to rule my kingdom through me."
" You won't like it, but you won't have a choice. In just a few short hours, you'll be saying ' I do ' and I rule everything."
" Don't you think the towns folk will find it odd that their princess has come back from being kidnapped and is getting married?" Link calmly strode in, dressed in an evening tunic. It was a dark emerald green tunic with a long flowing cape behind him. His hat was no longer like the sockish hat he loved, it was more like royalty with a long curling white feather at the top. His leather skin boots were oiled and shiney, giving him a noble look.
" Don't you look nice " Ganondorf eyed.
" I feel like an idiot."
" But you look like a Lord. That is what I want. Doesn't he look nice your highness? " Zelda looked up at him, her eyes measuring him. He did indeed look handsome, but this look did not suite his personality.
" You look like a liar " she responded coldly before turning back to the mirror. She could see his expression from his reflection aside from her own. She saw Ganondorf walk up to Link and began to whisper in his ear. Link's eyes narrowed but he nodded none the less.

The hyrule market was bustling with activity,perfect for Link's message. Epona was decorated with royalty trinkets.
" Who here misses their princess? " he yelled out. All activity stopped, objects crashed to the floor. Eyes were glued to him, all desperate and hopeful. Link smiled genuily.
" Good citizens, you can relax. Princess Zelda sends me with word. When calamity spread, she was able to escape the castle. On upon escaping, she has come across the next king. For, she comes back today, bringing you all a wedding ceremony and your future king. Hyrule will not fall, do not worry. Her majesty knows what she is doing." There were murmers of relief that Zelda was alright, and excitement about their new king. Link raised his eyebrows as he listened to the towns folk talk.
" Well I'll be damned, they actually believe me" he whispered to himself as he turned Epona back in the direction of the desert. He slowed down and turned towards the Lon Lon Ranch instead.
" Here there Link! Long time no see! " a red headed woman waved cheerfully before putting down a bucket of freshly creamed milk. Link smiled sheepishly before dismounting.
" Whoa...whats with the way your dressed grasshopper?"
" Still using the nicknames huh?"
" You bet fairy boy."
"...I perfer grasshopper. So Malon...how have you been? "
" Me? Good good...in fact I'm getting married."
" Really? Congratulations. I'm happy for you. He from around here? "
" No no...he's from Clocktown. A guard for the ocean gate, but he's such a sweetheart. So, what brings you here?"
" I was wondering if you could Epona a tune up to make her feel better."
" A tune up huh? Those are expensive, you do know that."
" I know...look at the way I'm dressed, I think I can afford it."
" So, you want the works? "
" Bath, new horse shoes, reigns, coat brushed...yea...the works...how much? "
" Hmmm...well...since I love Epona to death, ever since she was my little colt, and seeing as how money is no object when it comes to spending it on her...discounted for...usually 9,000 rubees...i'll make it for...4,000."
" Thanks Malon, your a doll. How long? "
" Three days for the works...you want to borrow another stallion to ugh...get back to work? "
"Yeah...sounds great."

The thin veil of white lace skewered Zelda's vision ever so slightly to annoy her. She impatiently brushed it aside so she could see, just in time for Link to come sauntering through the archway of the doorway. Ganondorf appeared from around the corner, dressed in his desert's finest embroidary.
" Well? "
" Message has been sent. They, surprisingly, believe your lie. They're expecting to be in the temple of Time for the ceremony around sunset...oh and I need a bit of pocket change."
" For what?"
" Payment to the Lon Lon Ranch."
" And for what reason is that?"
" Personal."
" What reasons are you paying that farm girl for?"
" She's good with horses. And I want to make sure mine stays alive. Now, I did what you've asked, may I have what I asked? "
" ...How much? "
" Just five hundred. I have the rest covered."
" Here" Ganondorf tossed a satchel with rubees to the warrior. Link bowed sarcasticly and turned to leave.
" Ugh, Link, m'boy. I have a favor to ask of you."
" What? "
" I need you to be the one to give Zelda away, since her father...was murdered so suddenly. He did appoint you as her guardian of a sort, so you can legally do it."
" So we want to use justice now do we? Why don't you hire some servant to your every whim, that looks enough like her to be her uncle or something. It has to be of blood line, genuis " Link scowled, how dare he play the blame game for something he had been told, no, ordered to do. Ganondorf closed in quickly on him, his fist clenching around the warrior's throat, lifting him off his feet. Air choked Link as his eyes rolled into the back of his head.
" For to long I have let you live with that snake tongue twisting its bitterness towards me. You nearly lost your life, I saved you, in return for your service. I will not hesitate to cast you off these canyon walls, down into the darkness where not even hell will warm the chill in your bones. Would you like that? " Ganondorf released him, letting Link fall to the floor gasping for air.
" Then do so, end my misery " he choked weakly. Ganondorf's eyes narrowed as he picked the young rebel up again.
" I'm tired of your talking, so...I think I'll take that ability away until you prove you've earned it back " He snapped his fingers, bending dark magic between them. It felt as though something tugged at Link's vocal cords, pulling something from him. He got to his feet and dusted himself off, breathing in to curse Ganondorf, but no words escaped his parted lips. His eyes widend as his hand shot over his mouth, disbelief a clear feature throughout his face. He looked with bulging eyes at Ganondorf. The desert king smiled evilly as he punched Link hard in the ribs. A whine of pain escaped him.
" See? You can still scream and yell in pain, but not speak. You can laugh, but not speak. When this ceremony is over, you are getting a lesson on behavior, a very painful lesson. Now, go to the Temple of Time and start preparing." Link didn't hesitate, instead he backed off like a frightend wolf and was out the door.
A/N: You can't expect me to be straying to much from the video game, even though in the manga he clearly TALKS!! Anyway, I know some of you are like " why is he being afraid? He's Courage itself! " Yeah well, keep with my story here. The wrath of a Goddess, I'll get more on that with my next update, but for now, school has me so up tight that I may not update this again until summer vacation.
