Linda and Link entered Goron City. Everyone was either sleeping or eating. Except for the goron named Link, who was rolling around the place. Link and Linda entered Darunia's room.
"Link! What a surprise! What brings you here?" Darunia asked.
"We're looking for Princess Ruto. She was supposed to be here." Link said.
"The zora princess? She down at the shop fighting for a discount on something she found. Uh, are you going to take her home?"
"We're supposed to."
"Thank God! She's finally leaving!"
"Was she that much trouble?"
"Yes. Huh? Who's the sweetheart? She's adorable!"
"Everyone has says so. This is my daughter, Linda. Linda, this is Darunia, leader of the Gorons."
Linda nodded, and smiled at Darunia.
"Well, we'll be leaving now." Link said.
Linda tugged on his pants.
"Yes, with Ruto too." Link added.
"I guess so. Come visit us again." Darunia said.
"I will. Come on Linda."
Link left the room, followed by Linda who was back to following cutely around. They reached the shop where Ruto was arguing with the shopkeeper.
"Ruto, come on. We have to take you home before the treaty is cancelled." Link said.
"The treaty? That was today?" She asked, turning around to see who talked to her.
"Yes. Now come on."
"Link! It's you! You came to look for me? I'm soo happy!"
Ruto was going to hug Link if it wasn't for Linda who was picked up by Link, and was now hugging him instead.
"Fine. Let's go." Ruto snorted.
Link carried Linda while Ruto walked next to them. At the entrance of Kakariko village, Linda decided to walk on her own. Link and Ruto went to look for some water because Ruto said she was really thirsty. Link told Linda that she could play around, but to call if she got in trouble. Linda nodded and went to play around. Around the cuccos' pen she bumped into a boy her age. He had soft gray eyes and black hair.
"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" he asked as he stood up and helped Linda up.
Linda nodded in response.
"That's good. You're new here, right?" he asked.
Linda nodded again.
"My name's Yukito. Want me to show you around?" he asked.
Linda once again nodded.
"Oh, before I forget, what's your name?"
"Linda."
"Nice to meet you, Lin. You don't mind if I call you Lin, do you?"
"No. Nice to meet you, Yuki."
"That's good. Come on! I'll show you the best places."
Yuki lead Linda around the village, never once letting go of her hand. After a while they encountered Link and Ruto. Ruto was fighting with another storekeeper about the water not being pure enough.
"Look. That's a zora. They live in Zora's Domain near the village." Yuki told Linda, who nodded.
"Ruto, why don't you leave him alone? The water was pure enough to me." Link said trying to calm down the zora princess.
Ruto just ignored him.
"Do you think that's her boyfriend?" Yuki asked Linda, who quickly shook her head.
Linda walked towards Link as Yuki followed. Linda tugged Link's pants to get some attention.
"Lin, you shouldn't bother other people." Yuki told her.
Link looked at the two kids. He petted Linda and gave her some light-blue gloves he had just got her. Linda putted them on with a happy smile.
"Having fun?" He asked.
"Yes. This is Yuki." Linda said softly.
"I see. Nice to meet you, Yuki."
"Uh, um, nice to meet you too, sir. Do you know Lin?" Yuki asked.
"Lin?" Link asked.
"Yuki calls me that." Linda said. "Yuki, this is my daddy."
"Ooh." Yuki and Link said together.
"Yuki is showing me around." Linda added.
"Well, then, don't take too long. We have to leave soon." Link said.
The kids nodded and left the shop.
"Lin has to go?" Yuki asked as they sat on the crates in front of Impa's house.
"Yes." Linda answered.
Yuki looked at her sadly.
"I'll come again. I promise." Linda told him.
"You will? For real?" Yuki asked.
"For real. In some years, when they let me go out of the forest, I'll come visit you."
"Then I'll wait until you return. Let's meet in this village again."
Yuki gave Linda a soft kiss on her cheek. Both of them blushed lightly.
"Linda! We're leaving!" Link called.
Yuki took a necklace that hung around his neck, and put it around Linda's. It contained a charm in the shape of the moon.
"For you. So you won't forget me." He told her.
"Thanks. Bye, Yuki." She said.
"Bye."
Linda gave him a hug and left to the entrance of the village, where Link, Ruto and Epona waited. Linda sure wouldn't forget of him. She promised that.
