"Link what should I get? There's quite a few options here..." Zelda said looking through clothing options. Link had taken Zelda to the Ventest Clothing Boutique in order to have a separate pair of clothes that weren't... Royal looking.

"I mean... there's really only the Hylian Tunic in here. I doubt you wanna wear the knights armor?" Link said. Zelda took one look at it.

"No, I'd rather not..." Zelda said, turning her attention to the Hylian tunic. "Besides, this looks much more sturdy. This will protect me well. Not as much as my traveling gear but it'll do."

"I'm sure I can make up for the loss." Link said. Honestly, the traveling gear being put away while on the road would lessen their chances of Yiga getting them.

Zelda grabbed the tunic and examined it before turning quickly to Link.

"Link!" She said and stared at him. She looked around at the middle aged lady near the door and quickly hurried over to Link and whispered. "I haven't any money! Usually I was just handcrafted everything! What do I do? I can't pay for this and I'm positive I can't just walk out with it!"

Link stared at her and then laughed loudly.

"Zelda. I've got money."

"What? No, Link you can't pay for me, you've done enough!" Zelda said taking a step back. Link raised an eyebrow.

"Well then? What do you suggest you do?"

Zelda blinked at Link a few times and then looked back down at the tunic. And then back at Link. Link chuckled and turned towards the lady near the front door.

"Here you go Sophie, just the Hylian Tunic." Link said, handing her the rupees. "How much would it be to get that stitched up to fit her?"

The woman named Sophie shook her head.

"For one of my regulars, I'll do it for free Link. It's good to see you finally with someone." She winked. Link rolled his eyes, while Zelda blushed.

"Now, out, out out... I must take her measurements." Sophie said. Link gave her a puzzled look.

"You didn't take my measurements..."

"You didn't need them. Besides, this is a special service for you and the special pretty girl. Now move it." Sophie pushed Link out of the store and closed the door behind him before making her way over to Zelda.

"Are you ready dear?" Sophie asked.

"Y-yes, whenever you are..." Zelda said.

Sophie got needle and threads along with some measures and started examining Zelda's body.

"What's your name?" Sophie asked as she examined, motioning for Zelda to raise her arms.

"Z-Zelda," She responded, raising her arms for Sophie.

"Ah, named after the late princess of old. They say she saved our kingdom after the Calamity a hundred years ago... They say she's still locked in the castle fighting... Some say she died in battle against it. I assume the latter of two... Seeing as the Calamity hasn't been seen since. She did her duty well..."

"Y-You think so..." Zelda said, looking downwards. "I don't feel she did much of a good job. She unlocked her powers late...Couldn't stop everything that had happened back then"

"And yet she was but a mere girl." Sophie said, now crouching and measuring Zelda's legs. "For a girl her age, and being the princess of Hyrule... They talked bad about the princess at the time. But looking back... She could only do so much."

Zelda stayed silent, trying not to let the tears fall from her watery eyes.

"If I had met her, I would have told her she did the best she could. And I would hope she would heed my words when I would tell her to keep moving forward with a smile."

The lady stood in front of Zelda and smiled. Zelda's eyes lit up.

"Do you...?"

"A young girl that fits the description, the name, and has the Royal Outfits to match, accompanied by a knight with the Legendary Blade named the same as the appointed knight as before... The other townsfolk may not put it together... But a craftswoman has a keen eye and notices the smallest of details." She said chuckling.

"Link has the right idea, Princess. Stay hidden. I wouldn't use the name Zelda. I've heard rumors the Yiga still exist to this day, young lady. Your secret is safe with me but many others may see you as a threat. If you plan to live a normal life, it would be best for you to lay low. But with you being around Link..."

Sophie handed her the Hylian Tunic to put on for the adjustments.

"That may be impossible..."

Zelda chuckled.

"You are quite right about that. What name should I use if I can't use my own."

Sophie pondered that for a second as she looked through her different sizes of needles and threads.

"I say just come up with one!" Sophie said. Zelda began to think as Sophie began working. "So... Do you like Link?"

Zelda's thoughts came to an immediate halt.

"What makes you say that?" Zelda said quickly.

"Well other than that obvious reaction, again... a craftswoman always see through."

Zelda blushed and looked away. She thought for a second before answering.

"There may be a little something there... I believe..."

"What's stopping you?" Sophie teased.

Zelda didn't answer that.

Link waited outside the Boutique, eyeing the clouds as he leaned against the building.

"Good Morning there Link!" Seldon, the Boutique owner, said as he walked up up to Link.

"Morning Seldon. No one to show around the village today?" Link asked, not taking his eyes off the sky.

"Oh not many travelers stop by except for you these days. Ever since that massive strom a few days ago. The thunder was incredible! I'm sure you could hear it from all of Hyrule! The clouds were black, some travelers that had just arrived swore on their shields that there were purple lightning! Isn't that a story?" Seldon laughed.

"Definitely sounds like one..." Link chuckled.

"So what you waiting out here for? Need another Hylian tunic?" Seldon asked, eyeing Links clothes up and down.

"Not this time. I actually brought a friend here today."

"Atta boy, bringing the customers in! You're one of the best customers. He in there getting fit?" Seldon asked, looking at the doors.

"I wouldn't exactly say 'he'..." Link started as the door to the Boutique suddenly opened. Zelda and Sophie walked out, Zelda wearing her newly fit Hylian Tunic. Her hair was in a raised ponytail, though her front hair braid still remained.

"Oh..." Seldon said with a blank face, then smiled and elbowed Link in the back. Link turned back, giving a look at Seldon, before looking towards Zelda.

"How do you feel?" Link asked. He had to admit to himself, she looked really good. And surprisingly normal.

"I feel good! I love it. Thank you so much Sophie." Zelda said to Sophie. Sophie shook her head.

"Anytime."

"A Hylian Tunic!" Seldon said loudly. "Good for travelling! I'm assuming you'll be with this guy while on the road?"

Seldon pointed at Link who gave him a look.

"Yes, that is correct. I shall be making Link's acquaintance on his journeys." Zelda said with a sweet smile.

"Then you'll definitely be back for more of those. Link has run through so many, we rarely have them in stock!" He laughed. Zelda and Sophie giggled as Link stood there unamused.

"I fight monsters on a daily basis!" Link said, crossing his arms.

"Yes, yes, we know, it's all in good fun." Seldon said. Link grinned at the man.

"You should take your tunic down to the Kochi Dye Shop and get the color you want! I'm sure he can make that look even better."

Zelda's eyes lit up at that, and turned to Link. Link shrugged. It was her choice.

"Absolutely! Come on Link lets go!" She said, grabbing his wrist and pulling him along. Sophie and Seldon laughed as the two ran towards the shop.

"Sayge! Are you in today?" Link called into the open shop. Sayge, a colorful man with red swirling hair, turned to face the two.

"Why if it isn't Link! And who might this mighty beautiful girl be?" Sayge asked, walking towards them.

"This is Z-" Link started but Zelda nudged him. Link immediately caught on.

"Z-Marin. This is Marin. She'll be living with me from now on." Link said. Sayge's eyes lit up.

"Why hello darling! Good to see someone with Link on his travels!" The colorful man said. "Planning to look dazzling while with him? I can get those clothes the color you'd like if you wish."

"Please, if you could, Thank You," Zelda said politely. Sayge looked over at Link.

"Did you tell her how it works?" Sayge asked with squinted eyes.

"I would never." Link said with a grin. Sayge grinned as well.

"Smart boy. Alright sweetie, choose what color you would like!" Sayge said, pointing to the chart of colors. Zelda however had caught on to the the twos conversation.

"Wait, hold on, Link, how does it work?" Zelda asked turning to him.

"You wanted new experiences and to be a normal girl right?" Zelda nodded, with a nervous look in her eye. Link did a shooing motion with his hand. Zelda looked at the colors.

"Ooo Link, what do you say about the baby blue color?" Zelda asked turning towards him. Link reached for the Shekaih Slate and looked through it.

"Yup, that should be fine." Link said looking up, holding a thumb out to Sayge. Zelda looked back and forth between the two.

"What? What does the Slate have to do with dying this?" Zelda asked. link made items appear from the Slate, all plants and parts that were a similar blue color.

"Go ahead and hold these for me, Marin." Link said to Zelda, holding them out to her quickly. Zelda fumbled the parts before being called again.

"Alright Honey stand up here for me." Sayge said walking up the stairs, Zelda followed after, giving Link a confused look on her way up.

"Alright, stand here." Sayge said, adjusting her and walking back downstairs.

"Okay! You sure about that color?" Sayge called up.

"Positive, but why am I up here? And why am I holding this? What's going on?"

"READY?" Sayge called.

"What?" Zelda called back.

"ARE YOU READY?"

"What, Yes?" Zelda responded. The floor opened up, revealing a water, under her. With a scream Zelda fell through the floor and inside the bin. There was a splash and blue went everywhere. Link and Sayge laughed as a soaking wet Zelda climbed out of the bin and onto the floor.

"What are you laughing at you!" Zelda pointed at Link. "You knew this would happen! I'm soaked and you just let it-"

"What are you talking about dear? You're completely dry. Sayge chuckled.

"I am not! Just look at-" Zelda looked down. She was dry. And her tunic was a nice shade of Baby Blue.

"Wha-? Bu- How?" Zelda asked. Sayge brought a finger to his lips.

"Sorry, can't tell my secrets." He laughed. Link chuckled. He held his hand out to Zelda, her taking it, and pulled her up.

"Sorry. I figured you'd have more fun with that." Link said smiling. Zelda puffed her cheeks, trying her best to look upset when she was in fact laughing on the inside.

"W-Well it came out alright so..." Zelda let a chuckle escape. "It was exhilarating."

Zelda turned towards Sayge and bowed a bit.

"Thank you for the beautiful color."

"Why dearie, come back anytime you want a color for any other clothes! You now know how it works. I've dropped him a many times!" Sayge said. Zelda laughed. Link beckoned her out the door and the two walked out.

"So Link, what now?" Zelda asked. Link looked at her.

"You meet people, and on the way... We see Purah."

Zelda stopped.

"Purah? Purah is here in this town?" Zelda asked, slowing down. Link turned and pointed to the rickety looking tower up on the high hill.

"Yup. Though fair warning. She's not as old as you think she'd be..."
