Epilogue:

~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*

The years rolled by, and Zelda and Peach had grown to become the best of friends. Malon and Saria had become a little frightened of their sister; and had both been married to Texans far away.

Zelda, sadly, never re-married. She felt an emptiness in her heart where Link should've been. She just couldn't marry. However, that didn't stop her from adopting three children from the nearest orphanage.

Peach ended up marrying a millionaire. She didn't marry him for his money though, because he'd been as poor as she until getting an inheritence from a rich uncle he'd never met in his life. Coincidentally, Peach's husband was Earl's cousin, and Earl would often stop by to visit (remember Earl was that guy who used Peach's body that one time to talk to his wife).

Zelda had ended up being a professional potter, and was very successful. Her town was quite proud. Every now and then, whenever there was a full moon, she would take a mattress up to the attic and sleep there. The hole from Marth's gun had never been patched up.

"Mommy, what're you doing up here?" her youngest daughter Nanna would ask.

Zelda would draw Nanna into a tight embrace and look up at the bright moon. "This is the last time I saw your dad before he died...."

Her son, Max, outgrew these "silly ghost stories" when he became ten. He didn't believe his mother had ever nearly been murdered by an ex-best friend. He didn't believe she'd seen and spoken to her dead husband.

"But it's true!" Peach would insist.

"Stop it, Aunt Peach," Max'd sigh. "You're getting worse than mother.

"I'll always believe you," Nanna would say, cuddling in Peach's lap.

Whenever Peach and Zelda would go to a diner or some place with a juke box (or open mic night), they'd insist on hearing or singing "I'm Henry the Eigth (I am)." Zelda had admitted that that was the song Link had won her over with when he first asked her out on a date.

"Link was a great guy," Peach said. "I wish he was still able to talk to me."

"It's a shame, yes," Zelda sighed. "But he's fulfilled his purpose. He was being tested. God wanted him by his side then, and it was right for him to go. But no matter what, I'll always miss him. And I will ALWAYS love him."
