Chapter 7:The ceremony
Link went up to his house and got his tux on. He climbed down and headed toward Midos place.
As Link made his way there he was already standing outside waiting. "Hey Mido." Link greeted him. "Link this party better be good because what you've done today sure isn't that forgetful." Mido said obviously still angry from what happened earlier that day. "Its gonna be great. Oh yea I invited Nakoh too." Link told him as they walked back toward the stump.
"What? Oh brother." Mido sighed. Link had noticed his tux was pretty tacky. He laughed to himself knowing Mido was just going to embarrass himself.
Nakoh was already there waiting. "Hi Link... Mido." He nodded politely. Mido didn't reply. "So are you guys all set?" Link asked. Both nodded. He got out his ocarina and as he played Minuet of the Forest, Mido interrupted him. "Link what are you doing?" Suddenly They appeared in the lost woods.
Mido jumped back. "Yikes. Ho-How did you do that." He asked unknowingly Link and Nakoh where chatting with Saria. He turned around and ran to them. "So Saria are you ready?" Link asked. "Yea. Is Nakoh coming too?" Saria replied smiling. "Yea I'm coming. But wheres your dress?" Nakoh said confused. "Links buying one for me at Hyrule market." "Oh." "Hey what are guys talking about?" Mido interrupted. "Nothen." Link shrugged. "Well lets go." He played the Prelude of Light and warped them all to the tower.
Link started walking followed by Saria and Nakoh. "How does he keep doing that?" Mido thought to himself. Then hurried and caught up with the rest.
In the Market everyone was getting ready for the ceremony. Link and Saria went inside the dress and tux shop as Mido and Nakoh stayed outside.
"So which one do you want?" Link asked. "I don't know there are so many to choose from.... hmm.... Oh Link I found one." Saria said picking it out. He looked on the price tag and saw the price was 100 rupees. "Go try it on first." Link told her and she almost ran to the dressing room.
When she came out Links eyes widened. She wore her hair down with a nice necklace showing that matched the dress which was whitish silver. It had a nice design all around with green beads. He kept looking at her, she was really hot in the dress.
"Link... Link." Saria tried to get his attention. "Huh what?" He snapped out of it. She giggled then asked. "So what do you think." "Your looking nice.. I mean it looks nice." She giggled some more then noticed all the equipment Link had attached to his belt. "Looks like you forgot to leave something behind." "Huh?" He mumbled the looked down. "Ahh I can't go like this. Excuse me mister." The store clerk looked at him. "What?" "Can I leave these here and pick them up later." Link asked. The man nodded.
"Better pick this up later too." Saria said putting here regular cloths down near his stuff. Link purchased it and went out side with her. Both Nakoh and Midos mouths dropped at the sight of her. But they where speechless.
The three made there way up to the royal gates where a guard was taking names and letting people in. They didn't have to wait long in line as they went up to the guard.
"Name please." He asked in a very polite form but staring at them since there was no adult. "Link. And these are my 3 guests that where granted to come along by Princess Zelda." Link replied trying to look all rich and sophisticated. "Hmm lets see... ah here it is. I need for your friends to print there name and sign here." The guard pointed. "Why?" "Because we need to get everyone's name that is at the ceremony with there signature just incase something goes wrong." "Oh.." Link blushed a bit knowing he made a mistake. Saria got the pen and wrote down her name followed by Nakoh then Mido. They went up the road to the castle.
As they entered there where people dancing and talking all around. "Wow I never knew there where so many people in Hyrule." Nakoh muttered to himself. "Wow Link it beautiful!" Saria gasped in delight. Link just smiled.
"Hey Link." A voice shouted. He turned his head to find Zelda trying to get through the crowd to meet him. "Hi I was wondering when you where gonna show." Zelda told him.
"So who are your friends?" "This is Saria." "Hello." She greeted doing a curtse. Zelda smiled back she knew they where gonna be good friends. "And this is Nakoh." Link went on. "Hello princess." He said bowing. Zelda smiled again but with more flirtatious in her emotion at him. She had a sudden crush on Nakoh. "And last but not least th-." "My name is Mido." He interrupted Link bowing. "Its a pleasure to meet you." He sucked up as he grabbed Zeldas hand and kissed it. Zelda looked at him in disgust. From the moment she saw him she wanted to stay at least 20 feet from him at all times. (Zelda really relies on the first impression.)
Zelda could tell he really wasn't a friend of Link because of Links face. "Nice to see you too... I guess. Ummm... can I have my hand back now." She asked. "Oh sorry madam." Mido let go.
"So Zelda where is everything? Like the buffet, I'm starving." Link asked. "Oh here follow me I'll give you a quick tour." She led them to one side. "Over here is the buffet but don't eat too much because where later going in the dinning room to eat then into our main ballway. The center is where people dancing and talking right now obviously. The kids our age are over there." She pointed. "And thats it."
"So Zelda what exactly is the ceremony about?" Link asked. Mido and Nakoh had already gone to meet the other kids. "What do you think. It's to celebrate you and last week was my birthday." Zelda replied. "Really so the king believed his story?" Saria interrupted. Link was now blushing.
"Oh yea especially when me and Impa had the same story. He knew for sure she wouldn't joke around about that. After he sentenced Ganondorf for life in a prison far away Ganondorf got real upset then let his rage out. He told us he would kill us all and take over. After hearing that my father knew what we said was a 100% true so he did the real sentencing and sentenced him to death. They had to restrain him by putting an anti-magic spell on him then they took him about 40 miles away and executed him so he wouldn't do harm."
"Was that really necessary? And why so far away?" Now Link was left out of the conversation. "We had to do it. In the future he killed lots of people and had monsters to do his dirty work. He changed this whole castle into a dark and evil place." "Oh yea you can say that again." Link tried to get back in the talk. "And we had to give him the execution that far away because he could self-destuct which we don't need in the castle." Zelda continued still leaving Link out but not on purpose.
"I'll be over at the buffet if you need me." He told them but was only responded by girl talk between the two new friends.
Link went over grabbing different sorts of food some he knew and a couple he didn't. Nakoh joined him. "Hey Link you should really meet some of the kids over there." Nakoh suggested. "No thanks, I'll I'm gonna do is talk with you guys." Link said as he sat on a chair and Nakoh did the same.
"Yea I know what you mean. Midos over there acting like the boss of everything." "When isn't he." Link joked. They both laughed. "Hey Link did you see how Saria looked at you I think she likes you man." "No way you know where both just friends besides did you see how Zelda looked at you? She likes you." "What?! Really? I mean yea right." Link just laughed as they continued to tease each other in a way only best friends could.
Link went up to his house and got his tux on. He climbed down and headed toward Midos place.
