Author's Note: Hey thanks to everyone who reviewed the prologue! This
chapter takes place eight years after Zelda sent Link back in time after
defeating Ganondorf.
Princess Zelda woke up on an early Saturday morning. She climbed out of bed and slipped her thin, silk robe. She sat down on her chair in front of her mirror and began to get herself ready for breakfast. She brushed her long, golden hair and decided today that she would just leave it down instead of pulling it up in a bun or ponytail.
A knock came to her door at the same time as it did every morning.
"Come in," Zelda said.
One of Zelda's handmaidens walked into the room carrying a purple dress. The dress was long and thing. It had long sleeves and a V shaped top. Zelda liked the dresses her handmaidens brought to her, but she wished she could just go out and buy her own dress. Life was so boring for the princess when she had people picking out what she would wear, eat, or go.
"Do you need anything else, milady?" The handmaiden asked.
"No, thank you," Zelda answered.
The handmaiden bowed and exited the room.
After Zelda had got dressed and ready she walked downstairs to the dining room. She was surprised when she saw one person missing from the table..Link.
"Daddy, where is Link?" Zelda asked as she sat down.
"He has already had breakfast and is out in the courtyard," the king answered. "You may see him after you have had your breakfast."
"I know, I know," she said as a servant put her plate of food in front of her.
Zelda quickly ate her food and ran outside to the courtyard. She loved spending time with Link. They had been friends for so long. It truly was destiny that they met.
When Zelda got outside, she could hear ocarina music. She knew instantly that it was Link for that was one of his favorite pass times.
Zelda walked around for a little bit until she finally saw the eighteen- year-old elf sitting on a rock playing the Ocarina of Time. The ocarina played a very important role in defeating Ganondorf. It was the key to the evil's bane, the Master Sword. The Ocarina of Time belonged to Zelda, but she gave it to him as a gift for everything he did.
A smirk came across Zelda's face when she saw that Link's back was turned against her. It would be the perfect opportunity to sneak up on him. She slipped off her shoes and slowly walked towards him.
As she got closer, she raised her hands on the air until...
"Princess, you will never successfully sneak up on me," he said with his back still towards her.
"Aww..how did you know?" She whined.
"We're elves you know," he said. "We have that sense when someone sneaks up on us."
"Curse you, Link!" She huffed.
He turned around and looked at her. "Aww....did I make the princess mad?" He teased.
"Hmph!" she said and pushed him off the rock. She then leaned down and grabbed his hat.
"Ha! I got your hat! I got your hat!" She chanted.
"Hey, give it back!" He said.
"Nu-uh!" She replied and ran off.
"Hey!" He called and began to chase her.
Zelda laughed as she ran from Link. She may not have succeeded in sneaking up on him, but she always succeeded in making him chase her down while she had his hat.
Link continued to chase the mischievous princess through the courtyard until he came up with an idea she would not suspect. He smiled to himself and climbed up a near by tree.
Zelda stopped running when she had that feeling that she was not being chased anymore. She turned around and raised an eyebrow.
"Link?" She called.
No answer.
"Link!" She called again.
"Ha!" A voice exclaimed while Link's hat got pulled from her hand. She twirled around to see Link.
"Link! How did you...."
"I'm not the only one who can use Farore's Wind." He laughed.
Zelda crossed her arms over her chest and tapped her foot while he continued to laugh.
Later that day,
"Liiiiiiiiiink!" Zelda called at the top of her lungs as she stood outside her room.
"Whaaaaaat?!" Link called back as he walked out of his room (which was only a few doors down from Zelda's.)
"Come here," she said. "I need to ask you something."
He did as she said and walked into her room.
"What did you need to ask me?" He asked.
"Can you sneak me out of the castle?" She asked.
"Yeah," he answered. "Why?"
"Well, I want to go shopping," she explained. "But my father never lets me so he orders the handmaidens to do it for me. For once I wanna shop for myself!"
"I see," he replied.
"Will you do it?" She asked.
"Hmmm let me think," he joked.
"Link!" She whined.
He laughed and waved his hand. "Alright, I'll help ya sneak out."
"Thank you, Link!" She exclaimed throwing her arms around him. She quickly pulled away and blushed.
"S-sorry," she said.
"Yeah, no problem," he replied rubbing the back of his neck.
An hour later,
Link took Zelda by the hand and led her down a secret passage that no one in the castle knew about. He had found it a couple years ago while exploring the castle and discovered it led outside the castle.
"Link, are you sure you know where we're going?" Zelda asked.
"I've been down this passage several times so yes." He answered.
When they reached the end of the passage, Link pushed the stone wall and sunlight flooded into the dark passage.
They were in a small room that had a square shaped hole in the ceiling and a ladder leading up to the hole.
"Be very quiet," he said.
She nodded and followed him up the ladder.
When they got to the top of the ladder, they found themselves on a stone wall. Link motioned Zelda to stay low. She knew why when she saw guards on the ground below.
The two sneaky elves walked across the stone wall and onto the top of a grassy hill.
"There's a vine wall below." Link said pointing down. "Follow me."
He climbed down the vine wall followed by Zelda.
"Okay, we're guard free now." He said.
Zelda smiled and ran to the market.
At a clothing store in the market,
"Link, stay here while I try on dresses," Zelda said after she picked out several dresses to try one.
"Okay," he said and sat down on a bench. He hoped and prayed it didn't take females long to try on clothes.
Link sat patiently on the bench for twenty minutes when finally Zelda walked outside the dressing area wearing the most beautiful dress Link has ever seen. The dress was mid-night blue and had long flowing sleeves.
"Do you like it?" Zelda asked and twirled around. Her long sleeves flowing in the sudden breeze.
Link said nothing and continued to stare at her.
"Hyrule to Link! Hello!" Zelda called.
Link shook his head. "Y-yes....you look...very beautiful."
She smiled and blushed.
"I don't wanna take it off!" She said. "I'm going to keep it on for the rest of the day." She ran to the sales clerk. "I want to purchase this dress." She said.
"That dress is two hundred rupees." The clerk said.
Zelda fumbled with her wallet until Link laid two hundred rupees on the counter.
"Consider it a gift." He said.
"That's so sweet!" She said. "Thank you, Link!"
Lake Hylia,
Link and Zelda decided to sneak back into the castle and pretend they went no where just long enough to get their horses so they could go to Lake Hylia.
"I love this lake," Zelda said as she dipped her feet into the cool waters.
"Me too," Link agreed.
He looked at her for several minutes. She was so beautiful. He loved to look into her mid-night blue eyes. He also liked the way her new dress matched her eyes. He also wanted to run his fingers through her golden blonde hair, but knew it would be a bad idea. He had feelings for her for so long, but was too shy to admit it. He wandered if she felt the same way.....
Meanwhile,
Dark clouds formed in the middle of Hyrule. Then a dark beam of light shot down. A dark man came down the beam of light. When the dark man's feet were firmly placed on the ground, he looked around him and laughed evilly.
"Those two have no idea what's coming to them!" The dark man laughed. "I, Ganondorf King of Evil, will get revenge on those pesky elves!"
A/N: Sorry if this chapter was too short (the upcoming chapters will be longer) and sorry if Ganondorf's revenge line was too corny. LOL. I'm changing the title of the story because it shoulder be "Three Worlds Apart." You all will find out why soon.
