"I just can't believe it!" yelled Saria in happiness. "My little boy is getting married!"
"Saria, I'm not a little boy," Link laughed as he put his black version of his green hat on. "Besides," he continued, "everyone's been saying that anyway."
"Well, it's just so wonderful!"
"I can vouch for that," said Tarron as he walked in Link's home.
"Hey Tarron," said Link.
"See, I told you you'd look good in black."
Link was dressed in a black tunic with beige tights and long sleeves for his wedding, since he had refused to wear an actual suit for the ceremony.
"I still think he'd look better in an actual suit though," said Saria. "After all, you only get married once."
"Is Marin ready?" asked Link.
"He should be," said Tarron. "He said he wanted to say goodbye to his sister one last time. I don't know what he meant by that though. Can't he see her anytime he wants?"
Link was silent for a moment, then spoke, "Tarron…..don't you remember what he said during the battle? She died a month ago….while Zelda and I were in Termina….."
"Oh….I didn't know that….No wonder he seemed so sad."
"Don't worry about it. There's nothing we can do now. We'll just let him rest a while until he gets over it."
"Link….you can't expect him to get over it on his own. I lost my entire family and it's been eight years and I still haven't recovered from my loss."
"You lost your family? I didn't know that."
"Well it all started when….."

Zelda was dressed in a plain white silk dress that opened out slightly around from her waist to her feet. She didn't want anything special for the ceremony. She just a few people and a small wedding.
"Zelda, I'm so happy with your decision," said Impa, helping Zelda dress.
"I know! Finally, I can marry with someone who's wedding I look forward to!" said Zelda.
"I'm so happy Link was finished with his 'project' when you looked outside your window."
"You knew that all along. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because he had asked me not to. Aren't you happy about the surprise?"
"Yes. Of course I am. I can't believe that he did that for me."
"He loves you."
"I know that now……." Zelda smiled.

"Tarron," asked Link. "Could you go to the Ranch and get some-"
"Yes!" Tarron cut him off.
"You didn't even know what I was going to ask for."
"So, as long as I get to go to the ranch I don't care."
"Can you pick up some wine? Malon should have some."
"Do want me to invite her too?"
"No!" Link turned from his mirror and looked at Tarron. "No one must know that we are getting married."
"Why not?"
"Zelda and I don't want this to be big news. I already took the King of Hyrule's daughter away. I don't want him to know that we're getting married."
"But….then you'd be living a lie."
"……" Link was silent for a moment.
"Look, it's not a big deal. You'll tell him sooner or later, won't you?"
"Yes. But there's another thing…..and you may not want to hear it."
"Don't worry, you can tell me."
"Well, Zelda and I were hoping that….this would be a private ceremony."
"Ok, so there won't be a lot of people there."
"No, I mean, it just supposed to be Zelda and me there; and the minister."
"…….so, Marin and I won't be there?"
"That's right. I'm sorry Tarron, but we just can't attract attention to anyone."
"And you going to the castle in a black, dressy tunic won't?"
"Tarron, I'm sorry if I offended you, but we can't take any chances."
"Don't worry about it, Link. I'll be fine. I'll even make sure no one else knows."
Tarron and Link both forgot Saria was still in the room. Her abrupt voice surprised Tarron and Link. "Aren't you a little too young to be drinking wine?" she asked.
"I'm eighteen. Besides, I'm pretty sure that's how my family used to celebrate weddings like that."
"Yeah. That's what your mother said when she took you here."
Link paused. "You knew my mother?"
"Briefly. I was here to greet her near the Great Deku Tree. In the last few hours that she was alive she had told me to take care of you and raise you." Saria reached into her pocket, "And to give you this when you got married." Saria pulled out a necklace with a pendant on it with the triforce symbol on it. The top triangle was red, the bottom-left one was blue, and the bottom-right one was green. It was very small, but it was still very beautiful.
"My mother wanted me to have this?"
Saria nodded. "It was among the last things she had told me."
Link bent over so that Saria, small and short, compared to Link, could put it on.
"I'm sure that with his relic around your neck, your mother will be there at the ceremony."
Link had blurry eyes, "Thanks, Saria."
Saria motioned to Tarron for them to leave. They both felt that Link should be alone right now.

Tarron went to the ranch. He didn't really know what Malon looked like, but took the job seriously nonetheless. "Tarry?" said a familiar voice. Tarron turned around. It was Kana, the girl from the ball!
"Kana? Is that you?" asked Tarron, as she approached him.
Kana looked different than the way she did at the ball. She was wearing a tattered gray outfit with stains and dirt all over it. That was not what Tarron had been expecting.
"What are you doing here?" asked Kana.
"Look, my name's not Tarry, it's Tarron. I was only dressed up like a girl for someone."
"Yeah, the high voice didn't fool me."
"Well, I came here to pick something up," said Tarron.
"Pick up what?"
"Some wine."
"Wine? What do you need wine for?"
"I can't say. Why are you dressed like that?"
"What do you mean? I wear this everyday."
"You wear that everyday? Why?"
"It's my work outfit."
"Is this how they treat you here? I mean, what do you do here for your pay?"
"I milk cows. I choose to wear this. This is my only good pair of clothes anyway."
"Then what was that you were wearing at the ball?"
"That was a dress I was borrowing from my boss. Don't worry about it. So it's wine you need?"
"Yes, for a special occasion."
"Alright, I'll be right back. Stay here." Kana turned around and went into the ranch house. A few moments later, she came out with Malon.
"What is it that you need kid?" asked Malon.
"Some wine," said Tarron.
"Aren't you a little too young to be drinking stuff like that?"
"It's not for me, it's for Link."
"Link! You mean Link needs wine?"
"Yes, he's the one who asked for me to get it."
"Why didn't you say so? Kana, take this boy to the wine house." Malon handed Kana a key and pointed to the small brick house behind the stable.
Kana led Tarron to the little building.
Kana unlocked the door and there was row after row of bottles of wine there. They covered all of the walls.
"Take your pick," said Kana.
"I don't have any money to pay for it," said Tarron.
"Judging by how excited Malon was to see you, I don't think she'd mind."
Tarron scanned each bottle until he came upon a bottle of red wine. He pulled it off the shelf.
"I'll take this," he said, holding it up.
"Ok, let's go now," said Kana, opening the door.
As they were walking to the exit, Tarron talked to Kana, "I'm going to get a new outfit for you. Something nice so you won't have to wear that anymore."
"Oh no Tarron, you don't have to," said Kana.
"I insist. I'll come back here soon."
"Thanks Tarron." Kana stood on her toes and kissed Tarron on the cheek. Tarron smiled and went to back to the forest.

"Where is he? He should've been back by now," said Link, pacing in front of the exit of the forest.
"He'll be here, don't lose faith," said Saria, trying to calm him down.
"Zelda is expecting me to be there right now, before the sun sets."
"We still have about ten minutes," said Marin.
Link sighed impatiently. Just as soon as he did, Tarron returned and handed a bottle of red wine to Link.
"We don't have much time. Tarron, I need a ride to the castle, now!" said Link.
Tarron took a piece of rock, "Hop on."
Tarron and Link soared to the castle as fast as they could. Once close enough, Link dropped down into the garden near the two fountains. He placed the bottle of wine on the ground and ran to the Zelda's courtyard. He almost tripped on himself for running so fast.
When he reached the archway leading to Zelda's courtyard.
When he arrived, he found Zelda waiting in a beautiful white silk dress. It was just a normal, small, plain dress. She was holding beautiful roses and had her golden hair up and out of her face.
Link approached the minister and Zelda slowly. "You're late," said Zelda, as if she thought Link wouldn't show.
"I know. I'm sorry," said Link, as she leaned in for a kiss.
Zelda put her hand on his chest to stop him, "We're not married yet….."
Link laughed, "No…..but we will be…."
Link kissed Zelda before the sun went down, symbolizing that they had been married.
The ceremony was over when Link and Zelda ran out of the castle arm in arm with smiles on their faces.
They both rested under the tree near Lon Lon Ranch and gazed at the moon as they drank the wine. Link clenched the necklace that his mother wanted him to have.
"What's that, Link?" Zelda asked her new husband.
"Oh this? Saria said my mother wanted me to have it when I got married," said Link.
"She did? It's beautiful."
"Thank you. I'm sure she's looking at us right now and smiling upon us."
"Yeah. I'm sure she is. Along with Din and the other goddesses."
After a while, Zelda fell asleep on Link's shoulder. Link, whispering to her in her deep sleep, said the words: "Zelda, my Zelda, don't ever leave me..."
