(Link's POV)
Me and my girlfriend Zelda had spent a year together here in Hyrule, originally known as the Surface ever since I defeat both the Demon King Demise and the Demon Lord Ghirahim. Zelda became from the reincarnation of the goddess to the princess of this land ever since Impa passed away a year ago and Hylia's body escaped her. I become Zelda's and this lands hero. Everyone in the kingdom lived peacefully since they moved here in another land. by the kingdom's establishment. We vowed a promise to them that darkness shall not return. We love how we expanded the world and became bigger. We got Goron City, Gerudo Town, Sheikah Village, Kakariko Village, and best of all... Hyrule Castle Town! That's where me and Zelda lived in the castle. We hired our own servant now since Impa died, he's the captain of the knights, Captain Borok. We have new races now! The Gerudos and the Zoras! They have their own leaders along with the Gorons and the Sheikah's (Though we never met them...). They had same laws in their town like in Hyrule Castle Town had but different traditions.
This evening, we took off with my horse, Epona with Zelda's arms wrapped around my abdomen and her face was pressed up against my back as we traveled from Hyrule Castle Town to Faron Woods. As we got off Epona, I placed her near the tree by the waters as me and Zelda walked towards the woods, watching the cute, little Kikwi's playing and running around so fast, we almost got tipped over by them. Me and Zelda both smiled and giggled at them as we made it to the place where we can spend some time together alone. We watched the little fairies and the tiny birds flying around as well. We sat on the logged bench and watch the beautiful, gleaming sunset as we thinked about a year ago...
We miss ShadowSilver... We miss Gaepora. I... or we mostly miss Groose. Well... He is not a bully anymore after saving Zelda during my adventure, we still miss him. We miss Fi, she's a good help of mine (Kinda annoying, but I miss her since she slept within the Master Sword). We miss Impa, even if she was here before she died after her mission as the servant of the goddess. Me and Zelda did miss them very dearly in our hearts. I wonder what they are doing up there in Skyloft... I hope ShadowSilver, Groose and Gaepora wasn't worrying over us.
I wore a Green tuxedo, Orange pants, and Brown boots. I wore blue earrings as well.
Zelda had dyed her hair from golden-blonde to Orange-blonde. She even got rid her bangs! She wore a beautiful purple dress with long beautiful sleeves attached to the red gem on the center of her chest, golden Triforce bracelets, red lips and a gold necklace with a blue gem. She also has a red diamond crownpiece on her forehead. She also wore the same sandals as she was the reincarnation of Hylia, but last time it's purple, now it's Golden.
That outfit makes her more beautiful than EVER! Oh, it's not. Zelda is so beautiful! Even she has changed her appearance as she became the princess of Hyrule. As we are sitting and watching the sunset, I was holding a box with a ring inside it I bought from the jewelry store, because I am going to propose to her on this beautiful day.
Zelda is the most beautiful, strong and a vibrant woman I have ever known when we were up in Skyloft! I couldn't stop and will not stop thinking about her and never will stop being with her! This is the day I get to propose to her! The beautiful sunset fits the background perfectly! No matter what danger brings her... Or us somehow, I will always protect her no matter what! I just can't stand how much I needed her! That is how I decided to propose to Zelda, because I want her in my life forever and it's time for her to become my wife since we've been together for a year after the kingdom of Hyrule is established after the defeat of Demise and Zelda's soul restoration!
I opened up the box, looking at the Golden, Triforce wedding ring with a red jewel in the middle. I smiled at it and said to myself quietly so Zelda doesn't know. Otherwise, I would spoil the surprise for her "Zelda... You are gonna be my perfect wife! I just can't take how much I needed you and wanted you in my life forever!"
"What was that?" My girlfriend asked. I gasped and quickly close the box before she sees the ring.
"Uh- Nothing!" I said to her with a nervous grin. She turned back to the sunset and sighed with a smile and her eyes closed. She then opened them back up.
"Isn't the sunset beautiful, Link?" Zelda asked me.
"Very beautiful.." I breathed.
"It takes my breath away..." She said.
It's time to propose to her! I looked away from Zelda and holding the box. I breathed harder and my heart pounded against my ribcage. I am excited, but nervous... What will she answer my engagement question? My legs are shaking like crazy and I placed my right hand on my cheek and blushed harder. I gritted my teeth and felt scared. Then I took a deep breath to calm myself down and getting ready to do this.
"Come on, Link! You can do this!" I whispered to myself, got up from the bench, hide the box behind my back and turned to Zelda.
"Zelda? Could you stand up for a moment?" I asked her as she did as I told her.
"What is it?" She asked curiously. I felt stiff and numb, Then took a HUGE, deep breath. This is it! I'm gonna ask her!
"Here we go... Zelda. We known each other since we are kids... The girl I knew in love growing up is still inside my memory. Ever since I met you as children... I felt like I was in an emotional rollercoaster of how much of an amazing person you are! A role playing of the goddess, a reincarnation of Goddess Hylia, and now a Princess of Hyrule. And how much emotional I was after you were inside the crystal to sleep for thousands of years unless the Triforce's wish for Demise's destruction will wake you. And how grateful I was for saving you from the Demon Lord, Ghirahim and his master, The Demon King, Demise. And ever since Fi slept within the Master Sword and Impa passed away, you told us when were kids, you dreamt of this world below and wanted to stay here, and I choosed to stay, too because of how much I needed you the most. ShadowSilver, our childhood friend as well but couldn't stay here because of the records of her trainings and her graduation." I paused for a moment and looked way back a year ago.
*Flashback*A year ago after Demise's death, Fi's farewell, Impa's death and a reunion with Zelda's father, and everyone else as they told everything about the adventure to them. Gaepora and ShadowSilver. Groose, Cawlin and Strich flew on their Loftwings on their way back home to Skyloft. ShadowSilver flew on her golden Loftwing with Gaepora and he lets her make a quick stop at the Statue of goddess Hylia with the Triforce outside the Sealed temple."Zelda! Take care of yourself!" Groose called out goodbye while riding his black Loftwing to head back to Skyloft with his friends.Zelda waves goodbye to them, and then turns to Link."Look around us! As a child, I always dreamt of a world below. I wanted to see the surface with my own eyes and feel the land's warm breeze on my skin. I... I think want to live her. I always want to feel solid ground beneath my feet, see the clouds above my head and, and watch over the Triforce. What about you, Link? What will you do now?" She asked Him."I'll stay to watch over the Triforce with you! I want to feel the same way as you felt! I love you...I can't lose you, again!" He answered with a smile. Zelda giggled and smiles back."We'll live here together then!" Zelda concluded. Gaepora flew ShadowSilver's Golden Loftwing towards Link, Zelda and ShadowSilver, Who they're still standing on the Statue."You three coming?" He asked them. They both looked at him as Zelda said."Me and Link are both gonna stay here and watch over the Triforce."Then she turns to ShadowSilver."How about you?" She asked her.ShadowSilver smiled was about to answer yes, but Gaepora told his daughter she can't because of her records of her trainings and her graduation."She cannot, Zelda."ShadowSilver's face turns from a smile to a frown after what Gaepora said to his daughter."She still has records of her trainings and her graduation. She cannot stay here." He explained.Zelda sighed. "Sorry, ShadowSilver.""But-bu-" ShadowSilver stuttered and sighed sadly. Looks at Link at walks towards him."Protect this land whenever there's danger...Ok?" She asked.Link nodded. "I promise..."He hugged her and Zelda hugs them for warmth. ShadowSilver sobbed into Link's chest and Zelda's face was pressed on top of her head. They pulled away, hoped on their Loftwings and flew down from the statue of Hylia to the ground."ShadowSilver, I want you to have this." Link grabbed Zelda's sailcloth and held it towards ShadowSilver, She nodded at took it and wrapped around her shoulders and her back.ShadowSilver then hopped on her Golden Loftwing with Gaepora as they flew up into the sky. She looks back at Link and Zelda, waving goodbye to them and their Loftwings. She waved them goodbye back and cried. She wiped her tears with her arms and looks back at her direction to where she is going along with Gaepora.Link looks at Zelda with an idea. "Zelda. You know what we should call the Surface?" He asked."What?" The goddess said."We should name it... Hyrule." Link concluded. Zelda Thinks it's a perfect name for the surface."Hyrule is a beautiful name for this land. Let's rename it to Hyrule." She said.Link smiled with another idea. "With that name, Let's turn this land into a kingdom! With a castle, towns, shops and villages!""That would be great! For that, I am going to be the princess for this one!" Zelda said."That's what I'm am talking about!" Link said in agreement as they both giggled.Then the Statue of the Goddess Hylia began to float back up to Skyloft where it belongs as they begin to turn Hyrule to a kingdom. The Triforce floated in the air. After the small village near Eldin volcano, the marketplace and the castle is built, The Gods putted the Goddess Hylia statue at the Royal courtyard with the Triforce. Link and Zelda would watch over the Triforce together as they start a new life in Hyrule..Link became the hero of the land and got a new sword called the Hylian sword. He still has the Hylian Shield. Zelda became the princess of the kingdom and began to fulfill her duties to her true love... Her hero to this land, Link. Hylia's body had escaped Zelda after she became the princessAfter the Goddess statue floated back to Skyloft where it belongs, another statue was created by the gods as the Triforce were in the hands of Hylia. All the Hylians, Sheikahs, Gorons, Ancient robots, Mogmas, Kikwi's, Fairies, The new Races are known as The Gerudos and Zoras all settled in the land.*End of flashback*
My throat sores. I could tell that my tears are filling up in my eyes.
"Link?" Zelda asked me curiously. I took a deep breath and continued...
"And now this land became bigger after we renamed it Hyrule, full of people, children and other and new races. For how much I can still always be with you... I want to make my life happy with you! So I want to ask you this." My voice broke and tears running down my cheeks and falling down my chest. I got down on one knee, revealed the box to Zelda and opened it, revealing a golden Triforce wedding ring to her. She gasped in surprise. I smiled at her with my tears still running down my cheeks.
"Zelda... My princess *sniffs* Will you marry me?" I asked her in tears, hoping for an answer from her.
I saw her places her hands near her nose and mouth, shutted her eyes as tears ran down her beautiful cheeks. Zelda moved her hands away from her face and waving her fingers at her cheeks and sobbed a little bit loud.
"Yes! YES I WILL MARRY YOU!" She shouted an answer with joy and hugged me tight around my neck. I hugged her back around her waist and rubbing her back up and down. We pulled away as I pulled the ring out of the box and slipped it on Zelda's finger and held on to her hand. We both smiled gladly at each other and kissed passionately and watched to sunset together. I am the happiest man alive! Zelda has got engaged by me! I can't wait to tell everybody at Skyloft and around the land the wonderful news! Including Groose... Maybe, and probably his friends.. I don't know... And also Gaepora and definitely ShadowSilver! She would be happy to hear the news along with Zelda's father!
*Back at The Castle*
When we got home that evening, I brought some letter and some papers to write everyone at Skyloft an invitation and everyone else in the entire land, including Gaepora and ShadowSilver. I wanted ShadowSilver to come to our wedding! Maybe we'll write Groose and his friends some, too. We looked at the calendar and planned the wedding. That day will be on the 20th of May. So the day before that, we will practice the wedding rehearsal and the dance. I marked it on the calendar.
While I was writing everyone an invitation, I saw Zelda, sitting on the chair and looking at the ring on her finger, Smiling.
"Link... You are the best person a girl could ever want." She said sweetly.
I smiled. "Yes... Yes I am. My father would be so proud of us. He's gonna be your father-in-law. And also, mother would be proud of us, too if she was here before she died. *Link nods and chuckles* I'm writing some wedding invitations to everyone we know at Skyloft." I said.
Zelda got up from her chair and walked towards me.
"I think I should write one for my father." She said.
"Alrighty." I said in agreement and held the paper to her as she grabbed at and writing it down to her father. I thought of something...
I think Gaepora will be the priest of the wedding aisle, and ShadowSilver should perform a song for us at the wedding dance since she is a good singer, like Zelda! I'll have to ask her.
"Hey, Zelda?" I said to her.
"Hmm?" She asked.
"Umm... Would your Father be the priest of the wedding aisle and ShadowSilver be performing a song for us during our wedding dance? Does it sound fine?" I asked her.
Zelda looked at me a little bit anxious...
"I mean... My father is the headmaster of the Knight Academy... But it is fine by me! ShadowSilver would be a great performer at the dance!" She exclaimed.
I smiled and giggled as I continued writing. As I was done writing, I began to fold the papers, putting them inside the envelope and sorting them before I get my Crismon Loftwing and Zelda's Blue Loftwing mail them tomorrow morning. I miss my Loftwing ever since I got my horse, Epona. Zelda misses hers ever since she got her horse, Storm as well. I frowned sadly...
"I miss my Crismon Loftwing..." I sighed quietly. Zelda walks up to me with a sad frown as she pressed her face against my chest.
"I miss my Loftwing, as well. We all miss our guardian birds." She whispered as I hugged her, placing my chin on top of her head with my eyes closed as we hugged for warmth.
"Hopefully we'll get to see them again tomorrow morning as they will mail the letters to everyone at Skyloft." I told her with a tiny smile.
"Yeah..." Zelda breathed also with a tiny smile. "I know..." I breathed.
I sighed quietly and deeply as my frown returned as we continued to hug each other warmly.
