From a hidden location, Ruto watched the Boss Battle, filling with pride.
Link had matured. Once he had been just a little awkward boy flailing a
sword around. Now he was a big awkward man flailing a sword around. Awww.
Soon, the battle became rhythmic and boring. Ruto distracted herself by
imagining what their children would look like, and what she would name
them. Suddenly there was a flash, and the fell beast was slain. The Boss,
not Link, Ruto thought wickedly. But, even as she thought this, she felt
another presence in her head, similar in power to the one before, but
infinitely more powerful, wise, and benevolent. As she felt her body become
weightless, the venerable voice in her head instructed her about things she
had never even dreamed of. In an instant, she knew her destiny.
So, I'm the Sage of Water, Ruto thought to herself. Appearing on the platform she knew was for her, she looked down slightly, and saw Link. He was soaking with both water and sweat from his ordeal. Ruto had never seen a sexier being in all of her life. She scolded herself, sages were not supposed to think dirty things about Heroes of Time and what existed under their tunics! Damn, Ruto thought as she recited all of the ceremonial dialogue the voice (now identified as Rauru, the Sage of Light) had taught her. "I have something else to give you," Ruto found herself saying, "before I give you my Medallion." Rauru hadn't taught her this, where was it coming from? Ruto looked at Link, and found him staring straight into her eyes. Ruto felt she had never seen a pair of eyes as beautiful as those belonging to Link. Screw Sagehood for a minute, Ruto thought.
In an instant, she hopped off her platform and ran to Link. She tangled her hands in his hair and pulled him down, kissing him deeply. She held the kiss for several seconds, savoring it and not letting go until she felt him respond. She dropped her hands and skipped back, fighting to keep her expression calm and noting with pride the deep color in his cheeks. No one can be kissed by Princess Ruto and not go weak at the knees, she thought smugly.
"Ahem. Well, I now-give-you-my-medallion-ir-contains-all-the-power-of-th- Sage-of-Water," she said hurriedly. There was an obnoxious whine and a little blue charm hovered in the air above Link's hands. Deja-vu.
As light built up around Link, Ruto sighed. Although she knew he had some errands to run, saving the world for example, she thought it was a bit unfair she didn't get more time with him. After not seeing him for seven years now it wasn't enough to see him for about 20 minutes. She had more presents to give him.
For about a month, Ruto spent her time with the Sages, learning more about her role from Saria, the little shrimp Sage of Forest who seemed to know _everything_. She also watched her love's progress from the Chamber of Sages, her heart swelling with pride with each of his victories. She kept telling herself, no, no, a Sage can't love a Hero while there is evil still in the world, but a treacherous part of her heart told her that she still loved him no matter what.
Finally, the time for the Final Battle arrived. Ruto took her place with the other Sages and used her power as Sage of Water to rid the world of Ganon and his evil.
Now what?
