Chapter Two
Link smiled into the beautiful sunset. Water splashed onto him and his boat, making him giggle. Sailing through the Great Sea gives you a strange, but happy, sensation. It's like eating cotton candy or getting to buy something you've wanted for a long time. This gave Link a strong boost of confidence. He was off to tell Zelda his secret. Zelda was currently in the land of Hyrule. She knew somehow that Link was coming..but she didn't know why. Link's face lit up as the huge castle came into view.. Then the rest of Hyrule.. It was a sight to behold, one of the most beautiful places in all of the Great Sea. A place Link loved to visit, but never had the time anymore.
"Wow. Didn't even take me two days to reach Hyrule. And I thought it would take at lease four days." Link said, leaning over to his right so he could get a better view of Hyrule. The King Of Red Lions, his boat, nodded. "So, you've come here to tell Zelda your..secret," The King said, turning his head around so he could face Link.
Link blushed. "Yeah," Link said, wind flipping his blond hair into his eyes. "I knew it from the day I met her–I knew she was the one." Link grinned at the King. The King Of Red Lions is the King of Hyrule, but he can also be in the form of a boat. He is Zelda's father.
"I'm okay with you telling my daughter. You seem like a pretty good boy anyway," The King teased. "Ha ha. I guess so. You think she'll say yes?" Link asked. The King of Red Lions nodded again. "I think so, Link. She's always talking about you."
Finally, Link stopped at a grassy edge. "You coming?" Link asked. A smile played on his lips. "Sure. I'll be waiting outside the door." The King said as he went back to a human being, then climbed onto the edge. "Don't tell Zelda I'm there or she probably won't talk to you. She doesn't like it when I'm listening." Link nodded. "Okay, I won't tell." They went into the castle. Zelda was walking up the right corridor, entering second door to the right–her room.
"Now. I'll go in, shut the door , but leave it open a little bit so you can hear, then you go over to the door and listen in. Sound good to you?" Link said. "Sure," The King replied. Link scurried over to the door and walked in. Then The King went to the door.
"Link..? What are you doing here?" Zelda smiled. "I didn't think you'd be back for a while."
Link blushed, then smiled back. "I..I have something to tell you." He stood up straighter. "It's very important..and I need an answer quickly.." Link continued. He tapped his fingers and looked down at the floor, and back at Zelda.
"I..I.." Link pushed his hair out of his eyes. Zelda blinked.
"What is it?"Zelda looked at Link.
"I love you. There. I said it." Link said.
"Do you..?" Link was interrupted.
"I do too, Link. I was always hoping you would." Zelda smiled at Link.
Zelda and Link kissed.
"Will you marry me?" Link asked, as he pulled out a special gold ring that he'd obtained at Windfall Island. Zelda smiled.
"I will." Zelda replied. The two kissed again.
The King, who was waiting patiently outside the door, smiled. "I'm so happy for you two," he whispered silently. He was crying tears..tears of joy. Link and Zelda walked out holding hands. Link escorted Zelda into the boat (after The King changed back to a boat) and they sailed away to Outset Island.
