A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed for their uplifting reviews ^-^
To MagischeEngel: In Ocarina of Time, one of the gossip stones say something along the lines of "despite her image, Princess Zelda is actually a tomboy!" so I don't suppose she's really that much of a girly-girl, ne? well, I base my fics (or most) off Ocarina of Time, so yeah… and if you look at Sheik as being Zelda's disguise, she wouldn't be that much of a girly-girl if she did all the stuff Sheik did, so yeah… well, thanks for reviewing and I hope you like the rest of the story too ^-^

^.^ Chapter 11 ^.^ - Entering the Castle
"Take care of Epona for me," Link told Malon as he, Saria and Zelda went to the wall to find the secret entrance.
"I will, take care," Malon replied as she watched the trio leave as she patted Epona.
"So, where's this entrance?" Link asked as Zelda stopped and started staring at the wall.
"Here," Zelda replied as she tested some vines that were growing on the wall.
"What?" Link asked in surpirse.
"I hope you're a good climber," Zelda replied as she climbed the vines and waited at the top for the other two.
Soon, all three were standing on the top wall.
"Come," Zelda said as she walked towards the top of the bridge and climbed the ladder down into the guard's tower.
"Isn't this a little risky? What if a guard came in?" Link asked as he jumped off the ladder.
"They don't use this thing, they always complain that it's too small," Zelda replied as Saria jumped off the ladder too.
At a run, Zelda left the guard tower, telling Saria and Link to do the same.
"Stay low!" she instructed as she crouched next to a hill.
Avoiding the guards, the trio ran across the lawn and stopped at a wall.
"Uh, Zelda? The entrance is that way," Link said, pointing.
"More climbing," Saria said rather than guessed as she climbed the wall after Zelda.
"Now what? The draw bridge is closed!" Link exclaimed.
"There is only one way to open the draw bridge," Zelda told them as she looked at one of the guards near the entrance, "We have to steal the guard's trumpet."
"How?" Link asked.
"Simple!" Zelda replied as she picked a few chestnuts from a nearby tree.
Throwing them into the water near the guard, Zelda watched as her plan worked. The guard dropped his trumpet in a hurry as he ran to the water and investigated the sound. Zelda quickly summoned the trumpet and blew it.
"Wow!" Link said, impressed as he watched the draw bridge open.
Zelda made the trumpet float back to its original position as the guard quickly ran out of the way of the falling bridge and looked for who blew his trumpet.
"RUN!" Zelda yelled as they ran into the castle.
The guard saw them and made a move for them, but Zelda quickly turned the lever around so the draw bridge closed.
"You're good at this!" Link said grinning.
"Yeah," Zelda said as she caught her breath, "You'd be good if you had to do that since you were small too."
"I'm surprised the guards still fall for the same trick!" Saria said.
Zelda shrugged, "The guards here have two weaknesses, they're thick and they're too competitive. If they knew something, they wouldn't tell the other guards unless it threatened their own lives and they wouldn't notice something unless it went up to them and tapped them on the shoulder."
"Which way do we go?" Link asked looking at all the different corridors and staircases.
"Straight. We're not in the main castle yet," Zelda replied as she walked forwards.
Saria and Link followed, cautiously looking around for guards.
"Out here," Zelda whispered, opening a door that led to the courtyard.
The courtyard was very big and led to many different gardens. Zelda walked to the large oak doors of the actual castle.
"Come on!"
The trio went inside. Link looked cautiously at Zelda, "And from here…?"
