Chapter 1
All of Hyrule prepared for the grand wedding that was soon approaching. Goods were donated from shops and markets across Hyrule. The people knew that the princess would never want for anything as long as she lived, but they wanted to make this gesture just the same. Flowers were brought from around the kingdom to turn the great hall into a truly extraordinary place. No one had seen it this beautiful since Zelda's mother and father were marred so long ago. Grand festivities were planned. The people of Hyrule planned to celebrate well into the early morning hours.
The night before the wedding Link was invited to Goron City for a party in his honor. All of the Gorons wanted to give link a great send off so they spent much of the night toasting to his heroic adventures in the past months. They all playfully reminded him that once he was married he wouldn't be able to have fun like this so he'd better make the most of it.
"Oh gentlemen, gentlemen," link said chuckling. " The fun doesn't stop tonight, this is just the beginning." He lifted his glass and drank.
"Nice one, link!" Darunia said.
Link stood up and raised his glass high "Here's to you, Darunia, and too you friends." He took a big long drink. The room rumbled with the cheer of Gorons.
"Here, Here" they shouted in unison and drank another toast.
They decided to liven up the party by having a bomb-throwing contest from the second floor trying to see who could make the vase spin the fastest. They even took bets.
The more they drank the more they missed. Darunia stood up and picked up the nearest bomb flower.
"Common Darunia! I've got 30 rupees riding on this throw." Link teased. All the Gorons laughed. Link sat back and watched the fun begin, taking a drink. Darunia stared at the vase. His high amount of concentration making the Gorons laugh even more.
"Stop Laughing" he said. The room fell quiet.
"Chirp, chirp" Link said, imitating a cricket, and took another drink. Everyone started snickering.
Darunia hurled his bomb at the vase.
BOOM!
It missed.
Link laughed so hard he spit out what was in his mouth.
"Nice shot." He laughed, "I think you'd better stop before I run out of rupees." Link got up slowly; he could feel the room swaying a bit
"Okay, lets see you do it." Darunia tossed him a bomb.
"Okay, I can do this, no problem." He caught the bomb from Darunia, scope out the vase and threw the bomb into the vase.
BOOM!
Out came a bunch of Deku nuts.
"Damn, I needed rupees, I lost most of mine betting on you Darunia." he teased. He went down and got his Deku nuts. By the time he returned Darunia was passed out. He tiptoed over to him.
"Shhh… watch." Link hurled one of the Deku nuts to the ground.
POW!
Darunia jumped from his skin. Again Link and the other Gorons rolled back in laughter. They continued on like this for the rest of the night, until there were no more bombs, drinks or rupees.
At Zora's domain, Princess Ruto took it upon herself to throw a party for Zelda. They went swimming; played games and spent time admiring the ring Link had given Zelda. After a few rounds of the diving game the girls went to the shore and began to tell funny stories about Link. Zelda was glad to hear them all. Saria told them about the time Link got lost in the Lost Woods.
"No matter how hard he tried he would always end up at the start." Saria said giggling, "he must have spent a whole month looking for the path. He was so mad at us for not helping him."
"Oh, I have one." Malon spoke up, "there was this time when he had come to the ranch, and he was out with the horses. He tried to ride one of the bigger ones. He was doing ok until he tried to jump, the horse spooked and he fell off into the mud." Zelda and everyone laughed.
Ruto looked at Zelda seriously. "Your so lucky Zelda" Ruto said, "I remember when I had a crush on Link. He had come to help me find my way out of Lord Jabbu-Jabbu, but I was mean to him. I made him carry me through there when he should have been fighting and concentrating on his enemies. But I was a silly young girl. We may all wish link would stay with us but you are truly meant to be with him, I know that you'll be very happy."
"Thank you Ruto," Zelda gave her a hug.
"Wait, Zelda, we have something for you," Ruto left and returned with a small box. "This is from all of us."
Zelda opened it. Inside was a small golden necklace. It had a gold Triforce charm surrounded by diamonds.
"Its beautiful, you girls are the best friends anyone could hope for. Thank you." Zelda smiled. They spent the rest of the night swapping stories about link, and talking about who would be the next to wed.
