Chapter 9:Links' speech
Many people where gathering together and sat in there chairs. People seemed to just keep coming in.
Link saw his friends in the seats below. Zelda and him walked over to the royal thrones. The king was already seated Impa by his side for protection.
"Hello your majesty. Hello Impa." Link bowed. "You don't have to bow Link. If anything we should be bowing to you." The King said. Impa just smiled while Link blushed. "Sit here Link." Zelda motioned to a chair next to where she just sat down. He sat and relaxed on the chair.
In 3 minutes everyone was in the auditorium. Link was surprised on how many people there where. Everyone was talking silently but with all those people it was loud. "May I please have your attention!" A high ranking official, like the one in the ballroom, shouted.
"Ahem, tonight is a very special night. Not only is it the celebration of one of the Royal families birthday but it is also to commemorate a hero that has saved us in the future. Don't worry you'll all find out what I mean soon." There where some slight whispers in the crowd but it ceased very quickly. The man stepped to the side as the King got up and walked toward the podium.
"Tonight we are honoring my daughters 13th birthday. We already had the cake ceremony at dinner and now we honor her more than ever not just because shes older but because the 13th year is when that member of the royal family takes on more responsible duties. She will learn more about how to rule than all of the past years. Even though she knows it will be difficult she also knows it will be fun." Zelda was smiling at all of this and nodding.
"It seems your in for a long torturing year." Link teased. "Oh yea I don't know how I'll survive." Zelda whispered trying to keep a straight face.
"And now Princess Zelda has her saying." The King turned to her. Zelda got up from her chair very nervously. She hated speeches and this was one of the most important in her life.
"Thank you." She smiled at her father. He just nodded in response and let Zelda have her space. "Both my father and I know how hard I will have to work this year. I hope to inherit leadership from him. I'm excited to get started on this new journey and I'm ready to learn how to be a good queen. Also I'm very glad to have this honor. You don't see a new rising queen that often so I'm looking forward to it. If terrible times come I'll do anything to ensure the safety of everyone. And in peaceful times I'll be doing my best to make everyone happy. I don't totally know what to expect but I will stand strong with Hyrule through anything. Just because I'm gonna be queen doesn't mean my life is any more important than anyone else's. It will be an experience like never before but I'll try my best to be the best for my people. Thank you."
Everyone stood up applauding. They where very proud of her especially her father. She looked at Link and saw him smiling and clapping. He was obviously surprised but happy for her. This was one of the first times Zelda had acted so mature. Unfortunately it was one of the few times. She smiled back. Then faced the audience again. "And now we have a surprise for everyone. As some have heard Ganondorf was banished from Hyrule forever this afternoon." There was a slight murmur among the citizens. "Yes it is shocking but the reason was because he was evil and betrayed my father." Zelda spoke over them.
"I had anticipated that he was pure evil and would take control over Hyrule. So I asked this brave person to travel in time by the Temple of Light to save the future and get evidence Ganondorf was gonna destroy this land."
Zelda motioned at Link when she said this. He just smiled and blushed. "I had to send this person because he was the only one that believed me except for Impa but I needed her to stay with me and my father to protect us. So this brave person that saved time is going to tell us our story." Zelda turned around to face him as the crowd clapped. (A/N I know this is kinda weird and cheesy but its the only way I can think of doing this. *Sigh* I just ruined my fanfic.)
Link got up and slowly approached the stand. He thanked her as she sat down. Link first started off telling on how he meet Zelda and there plans. At first he was very uneasy but toward the time he got talking about Zora Fountain he was relaxed and forgot allot of people where even there.
Link told the whole journey in less than an hour which is amazing considering how many temples he went through. He didn't leave out anything. From the Water temple to the Spirit temple to Ganons Castle he told everything. The audience was shocked when they heard about how evil Ganon really was and the fact Zelda was so many people at once.
Link was getting down to the very end "...the fire wall Ganon created went down. Zelda had Ganon trapped while I grabbed the Master sword and gave the final blow." Link was very physical with the detail. "Then Zelda transported me back to this time after all the sages sealed away forever in hell the evil.." As he looked up to finish Link froze. How could it be? There floating in the air was Ganondorf!
