I know. I really should learn to update more often. So here is another chapter
Link
Sam went behind a bush to change while I laid there. Zelda smiled at me.
"You really are like some kind of dog." She said. I laughed. Mostly because it was true. I wasn't complaining though. With better senses I could do so much more. I sat up and pulled Zelda close to me.
"You love me still." I said. She laughed and nodded. Sam chose this moment to come walking out from the bush. He was wearing an old white shirt of mine and a pair of baggy brown pants. I looked him over and nodded in satisfaction. Sam glared at me.
"Now if you two are done being all mushy with each other, I would actually enjoy looking around for a bit. I still cannot get over the fact that there is another world connected to ours! You'd think somebody would've noticed by now but no." Sam said. I laughed at that one as I stood up.
"Believe me; it took me some time to get used to too! So, what do you think of Hyrule so far?" Sam took another look around his surroundings.
"Well, it's like being transported back into medieval times." I had never heard of that so I cocked my head to the side as did Zelda. Sam sighed remembering that we weren't from his world and therefore knew nothing of its history.
"There was a time when our world looked similar to yours but that was a long, long time ago. We call them the medieval times." I nodded. Then it hit me and made me feel really stupid. Of course their world had to have developed SOMEHOW so they obviously had to start somewhere and then work their way up. I hoped our world didn't develop the way theirs did. I liked the way our world looked. I started walking in the direction of the lookout tower. Sam and Zelda followed. Once we reached it, I started climbing the ladder. When we arrived at the top, Sam gasped.
"You guys have a desert too? Next you're going to tell me you have a snowy mountain!" I burst out laughing.
"Sam? We do have snowy mountains. We call it Snowpeak." Sam face palmed. He should've seen this coming.
"We can show you when we go to see the zoras if you want… although you'll probably get cold, so maybe that isn't the greatest idea…" I trailed off. Zelda giggled and rested her head on my shoulder. We climbed back down the long ladder and I went to show Sam Lanayru spring. The blue and green walls felt like I was being hugged by an old friend. It was just, so familiar!
"Aw, I miss this place! I used to come here all the time but now I never get the chance." I said. Zelda nodded. She knew the feeling. The light spirits were the ones who taught her how to use her Triforce properly. The sages had also taught her some of it but their teaching mainly consisted of regular education. The light spirits had taught her magic and the sages tutored her.
"I haven't talked to Lanayru in ages! And by ages I mean ten years." Zelda said. Wait, Zelda was 18. She said she hasn't seen them in ten years. That meant she learned how to use her Triforce when she was eight!
"Hold up, you were eight? Why didn't anybody teach me? I think a Triforce symbol on the back of some one's hand would be hard to miss! I could've been WAY more prepared!" I exclaimed. Zelda put a hand on my shoulder.
"Link, my father insisted that the one who bore the Triforce of courage would have lived in Hyrule proper. I tried to get him to search the province of Ordon, but you know how my father is…" Zelda said. I nodded. Zelda's father was an old, grumpy, stubborn excuse for a man. Zelda knew I didn't take a liking to him.
FLASHBACK
I had just saved Hyrule and Zelda wanted to have a town celebration so she brought me to meet the king and queen who had escaped when Zant came and didn't come back until everything went back to normal, leaving Zelda to rule over Hyrule and make choices no teenager should ever have to make. I was still covered in blood and dirt from the hard battle I endured. The master sword rested on my back, as did my Hylian shield. The king and queen sat in thrones in the throne room. The remains of the pillars Ganon destroyed had been moved and soldiers were currently rebuilding them. They heard the footsteps and saw me walk in with Zelda's hand in mine. I was in tears. Midna had just left and I missed her a lot.
"So you must be Link. The young farm boy who managed to save us all." The king said 'farm boy' with a disgusted look on his face. I was slightly taken aback by his lack of manners. I nodded and bowed slightly, showing them that they were superior.
"It's nice to meet you." I held out my dirt covered hand to them. The king took it somewhat reluctantly. I raised an eyebrow. Zelda squeezed my other hand in comfort. For some reason this action made my cheeks turn a rosy pink and my heart started to race as if I was fighting a darknut.
"Pleasure. Now come to the sitting room so that we can talk. Although maybe you should freshen up a bit. We wouldn't want dirt getting on the furniture." The king said. I narrowed my eyes slightly, but I nodded anyway. Zelda let my hand go and I felt myself missing its presence.
"You don't talk much do you boy?" I laughed a little and shook my head. I was a pretty quiet kid but when I had to say something I could talk a mile a minute. Zelda led me to a washroom where I could freshen up and made me give her my clothes so a servant could wash them while I cleaned myself. She left me some cloth to wrap up my wounds. I took a nice relaxing bath. It was the first one I had since I started out. Lakebed didn't count for obvious reasons. When I got out, my clothes were clean and mended. I did my ritual of putting on the many layers, and hat. When I left the room, Zelda was out there waiting for me. I sniffed the air once and could tell the direction her parents had headed. Zelda raised an eyebrow.
"Wolf senses." I replied simply, letting her lead the way. She led me into a large sitting room where Zelda's parents waited.
"Much better! Have a seat Link and tell us about your adventure!" Her father said. I was quite surprised that her mother said nothing. I sat down and Zelda took a seat next to me.
"Now, tell us, how did you end up saving Hyrule?" The king said. I took a deep breath and prepared to speak.
"Well, Bo is the mayor of my village and he wanted me to deliver a sword as a sort of tribute to the royal family. My friend Ilia took my horse Epona to Ordon spring and while I went to get my horse back, bublins on a giant boar came crashing in and kidnapped Ilia and all the other children. Naturally, I ran towards Faron woods. When I got there, I found my path blocked by a giant black and orange wall. A hand grabbed me and pulled me through the wall. When I got in there, I… turned into a wolf. I blacked out and according to my companion Midna, was dragged all the way into the dungeons of the castle. I woke up and she told me she wanted me to meet someone. So I made my way through the twilight and ended meeting your daughter. Still as a wolf might I add. She told me what happened to Hyrule and I left. Midna dropped me back off at Ordon where everyone thought I was the beast that took their children. I got a shield and sword and made my way back to Faron woods. Before I could get there, the light spirit Ordon told me I would have to drive out the twilight. So I went in and collected light tears. I restored the light to that province and the light spirit told me that I was the chosen hero." The faces on Zelda's parents were shocked. I had already told Zelda my story so she wasn't surprised. Zelda's mother leaned over.
"Do you mind if I see it?" I shook my head and took of my bracer and glove. She saw the mark on my hand and her eyes went wide. I continued my story about how I found my friends and searched for fused shadows. I told about how I got the master sword and about my search for mirror pieces and my meeting with the sages. I told of my defeat over Zant and after, my defeat of Ganon. They were surprised when they found out their daughter had been possessed.
"I still don't see how some petty little ranch hand could be the chosen hero. The goddesses must be playing some kind of joke on us." The king said defiantly. Zelda glared at her father.
"Joke or not father Link is the chosen hero. If you refuse to believe this then that is your problem but Link has more than enough proof." Zelda said in my defence. I scratched the back of my neck awkwardly. Zelda smiled at me and grabbed my hand. She dragged me out of the room. I managed to get in a goodbye to her parents before I was pulled away. Zelda shut the door and took me up a winding staircase. She pulled me into a room. It was her bedroom. My face promptly turned a cherry red. She flopped down onto her bed and sighed.
"Oh my goodness Link I am so sorry. My father is an absolute git!" She said. I laughed a little and shrugged. Zelda looked and shook her head in disbelief.
"Link, you never cease to amaze me. One minute you're the quietest guy I've ever met then the next, you're talking a mile a minute and then you go back to being silent!" I smiled.
"Not quiet, just shy." I responded. Zelda raised an eyebrow.
"The great hero of twilight shy? Well there's something I never thought I'd get to see." I looked at her. She was blushing fiercely and honestly it was the cutest thing imaginable. I laughed a little.
"I'm not one for fame and fortune believe it or not. I've always had more rupees than I actually need." I said. Zelda held out her hand and I pulled out my wallet. She dumped all the rupees out on her bed and began counting. Five minutes later left a shocked Zelda.
"Where on earth do you find all this money? I'm almost positive that Ordon isn't a very wealthy province." I ran my fingers through my hair.
"Temples and stuff. There's always treasure chests holding money in those places, plus there are also several places where I can use my wolf senses to find hidden treasure that is normally like a purple rupee or something." I said. We spent the whole day talking to each other after this…
