They stared at each other for half a second after she said that. Then Link's laughter broke
the silence. "Come on Princess, let's get serious now." A grin was plastered on his confused face.
"No, I'm not kidding, I want to go." Zelda finshed quietly. The grin slid off, now replaced with a
concerned look. "You can't be serious! Gannon almost killed me! Do you think he's going to go light on you?"
Link screamed at her. Zelda just remained calm. "I have my magic and I will use some of your tools, if you don't
mind" Zelda told him. Her head was bowed. "I won't let you go, I won't!" Link crossed his arms and stood in front
of the entrance. The Princess looked up at him, her eyes were full of tears. "You can't make me stay here, I will just
warp to another location." Her body trembled with each sob. "He has a scheme to destroy Lake Hylia, and maybe more!" She pointed in the direction of the
castle. She continued, "I'm not going to sit in here while he messes everything up!" When she was through, she was breathing heavy.
Link gazed at her, she was stubborn! "Fine, but I think you should run it by Impa, to see what she thinks." Link was trying to talk
so the hurt in his voice wasn't recognizable. "Now if you would excuse me, I have to get ready for tomorrow's battle." She gently pushed him out
of the way and through the dark entryway, leaving Link and Navi befuddled."Surely, Zelda didn't mean it." Navi asked Link. He shrugged he didn't know
if she was for real or not! But Link secretly hoped she was joking. The next day was a warm, cheerful day with birds singing. It didn't
look like there was going to be a fight to the death any time soon. As Link was glancing out over the tops of houses from the window a knock was heard
at the door. "Come in" Link sighed. Saria ran hurridly to him. "Link have you heard? Zelda is going to battle Gannon!" She broke off and looked at the
tense look in his face. "Yes I know she told me yesterday." He looked out the window. "Really? I just-" She was cut off by a soft knock at the door.
"Come in." Link yelled. As the door slowy opened, Link was shocked, it was Zelda!. Her long hair was pulled up in a little bun on the back of her head.
She was dressed as one of the korkori with a pair of green shorts and a sleveeless top. Instead of her white high-heeled shoes, there were boots just like Link's
but feminine, like Saria 's. "Uh..Hi. I just wanted to say bye before I left." Link didn't notice but there was dark circles under her eyes, like she
didn't sleep very well. But she was still beautiful even in her arkward clothes. Saria hugged her and said good luck. Navi wished her.
a safe return. She stepped up to Link and hugged him, not the super tight hug but a "I'll miss you hug".
As she stepped away, he asked her, "Have you talked it over yet with Impa? Does she approve?" Zelda nodded. Suddenly
tears sprang to her eyes and Link could feel tears stinging in his eyes himself. Before they both knew it, they were both
crying and couldn't stop. "Bye, come back safe" Link wispered in her ear. She nodded again stepped away. Opening the door and looking back for a second then she ran to
