Epilogue

Peace and Love

One week later…

Link nervously tugged at his white tunic, trying to make it look perfect. No matter how many times he fixed it, something looked wrong in the mirror. You can face off walking skeletons without flinching but you're scared to get married… He thought to himself dryly. Finally deciding to forget about the tunic, he turned around to face the Goron, who was dressed in a red honorary robe adorned with flames, behind him.

"You look fine Link." Darunia chuckled, giving his sworn brother a friendly pat on the back, sending him crashing to the floor. "Oh! Sorry!"

"No problem Darunia." Link laughed, getting up off the floor. "I'm ready." He said after brushing off his tunic once more. Darunia nodded and guided him through the door into the main chamber of the Temple of Time. The vast hall was packed with people from all over Hyrule and Termina. Link could see Talon, Ingo, and Malon, who was sitting next to Quin. People he had seen and helped from castle town and Kakariko had come. Link even spotted old Petre and Marie grinning from the crowd. There were also a contingent of Zoras, Gorons, and Gerudos, who were standing near the back. Even Ganondorf had come, hopefully not up to anything bad.

Link was sweating bullets as Darunia pushed him to the front, where Rauru, wearing robes adorning a blazing sun, stood in front of the Altar of the Spiritual Stones. As Link reached the altar and turned around, the Zora band, the Indigo-Go's, began performing the traditional Hylian wedding march. As the slow notes of the song echoed around the temple, the door at the back opened.

First came Saria, who was garbed in an emerald green dress with a brooch in the shape of a leaf. Her shining face was peering over the large bouquet of flowers that she carried. After her came Ruto, who (thankfully) was wearing a silky blue dress that looked as if it was made of water as she walked. After the Zora came Nabooru, She was dressed in her normal attire with the exception of an orange shawl adorned with the symbol of the Spirit Medallion.

Link's heart started racing as Zelda came through the archway. Wearing a stunning white dress with straps that came around her slender neck, she beamed at him from behind a bouquet of red roses. Atop her head was a beautiful tiara of diamonds that stood out against her golden hair. Link was surprised that he didn't faint out of happiness and excitement right then. The princess was being escorted by Impa, who was wearing a purple cape over her usual armor.

As Zelda reached the altar, Rauru motioned for the bride and groom to take hands. The Sage of Light then turned around to face the Door of Time.

"Here we stand before the Door of Time to celebrate the wondrous sacred ceremony of matrimony to unite two lovers like many others over the centuries." He spoke in ancient Hylian. Turning to the couple before him, he smiled. "Link. Do you take Princess Zelda of Hyrule to be your wedded wife and vow to protect and cherish her in through times of toil and evils?" Link gave Zelda a warm smile before answering with a firm "I do." "Do you Princess Zelda, take Sir Link, the Hero of Time, to be your wedded husband and vow to protect and cherish him through times of toil and evils?"

"I do." Zelda replied confidently with an ecstatic grin.

"Subjects of Hyrule! I give you Princess Zelda of Hyrule and her husband, Sir Link of Hyrule!" The Temple erupted in cheers as Link and Zelda embraced in a passionate kiss…
