Her finger pointed directly at Link. Link gave an expression which said: who, me? And slowly rose from his seat. Taking a breath, Link began to speak.
'My name is Link and…'
'Come on now louder than that.' Tina interrupted. 'That might be loud enough when talking to your girlfriend behind you, but I want the whole class to hear.'
Both Link and Malon's faces turned red at that point and muted laughter came from the rest of the class. Link wanting to sit down as soon as possible, once again took a breath and said, in a louder voice:
'I'm Link and my favourite colour is green.' and then he sat down again, feeling somewhat relieved.
'Thank you, Link. Let's go along the row shall we.' She said and nodded towards the girl on Link's right.
As she stood up her dress could be seen in its entirety. It was a light pink dress with an intricately embroidered pattern around the base of the dress and the short sleeves had a purple stripe running round them. Link looked at her in a daze and listened intently as she began to speak.
'My name is Zelda...' Zelda, Link repeated in his head. '… and my favourite colour is blue.'
As Zelda sat down the girl next to her stood up. She had green hair shoulder length hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a plain green dress, without sleeves, which was a darker shade of green than her hair.
She announced her name as Saria and her favourite colour as green. Interesting, Link thought as he heard there was another in the class with the same favourite colour as him.
Next to stand up was Fado he had blond short hair, and wore a dusty-green tunic long sleeves and blue-grey eyes. His favourite colour was brown
After him came Medli. She had brown hair long tied back into pony tail. She wore a dusty-blue dress with green along the hem and at the end of the short sleeves and hazel eyes. Her favourite colour was yellow
Malon was next. Link already knew her favourite colour as it was one of the first things they talked about when they met. It was green.
Mido was the next to stand. He had brown hair and blue eyes and wore a green vest and green trousers which were ripped and ragged at the end. Link knew him from before he was one of the people he was hoping not to run into. It seemed that the thing the brought Mido joy was to annoy Link.
Maybe he has changed since what happened Link though as Mido stood up. Mido stood silent for a moment and then let out a massive BURP! Doesn't look like it he thought; as the other members of the class began to laugh loudly.
Tina shook her head disapprovingly as the class continued to laugh. 'Okay, everyone calm down.' She said. The laughter began to dry up slightly. 'If anyone else does the same there will be trouble.' She warns and the laughter stops completely. She sighs and then asks for Mido's name.
'I'm Mido and my favourite colour is red.' He said and then sat down.
Tina nodded her head and looked around the class matching up the names with the faces. 'Well then class. First we will be learning about the races of Hyrule.' She said and then walked over to her desk and opened one of the drawers after a moment of shuffling she pulled out a piece of chalk and walked towards the blackboard.
'So can anyone give me a race of Hyrule?' Tina asked which caused a flurry of suggestions to be called out. 'One at a time!' She shouted over the noise of the class, which then became silent.
'We all should all know these.' She said as she wrote Hylian, Gerudo and Zora on the board. 'Do you know any others? Saria?' She asked her because she could see that she was talking to Zelda.
Saria looked up sharply, being caught off guard by the question. 'Umm…Goron.' She said.
Tina held her gaze on her for a moment before turning round to write Goron on the board. 'Any others?' she asked.
Malon raised her hand and Tina nodded in her direction. 'Kokiri.' Malon said and Tina wrote the name on the board.
'Rito.' Medli said.
'I have never heard of the Rito.' Tina said.
'They're not real they're made up.' Mido interrupted.
'No they're not my father saw one.' Medli said with confidence.
'More like he saw a bird.' Mido muttered.
'He knows the difference between a bird and a Rito, although I doubt you would.' Medli retorted.
Mido just mumbled something indiscernible in a way of a response.
Link smiled as Mido was beaten at his own game. Same old Mido, he thought, but a totally different class.
