Epilogue

"Ralf!" Malon called, "Cally is about to leave without you."

"Coming Mother," Ralf threw the last bit of hay into the loft. It had been almost a year since Gannondorf had been freed. Tomorrow was Linka's 18th birthday. Ralf and Cally were heading to the castle early."Good-bye Mom," Ralf hugged his mother, "See you and Dad tomorrow!" Vincent, Ralf's father was out on a business venture and would be
returning in the morning.

"It's about time," Cally teased him. She hopped onto her Palomino. They wore their work clothes, but that would change once they got ready for the party. Ralf climbed a top his horse. He smiled, but his mind was elsewhere.

When they arrive at the castle it was close to night. "Ralfisco, are your parents not coming?" Zelda asked as she helped prepare the castle.

"She'll be here tomorrow," Ralf smiled and walked past the queen. He went to the courtyard. There he saw Linka sparring with her father.

Link dodged an attack, "You beat Gannon with such low swordsmanship? Was he blind?" Linka slashed her sword downward. This was there little game. Link would egg her on and she would try to keep her cool.

"If I'm so bad then why don't you finish it?" Linka returned. Link clashed swords with her. He tripped her and held his sword at her throat. He smiled and offered her his hand.

"Linka, despite what I say in battle you are very skilled. Don't you believe so Navi?"

"Yes, I do."

"Good-day Ralf," Link patted Ralf on the shoulder as he walked by. Linka sheathed her sword.

"Hello Ralf," she hugged him and said, "Sheik, Tula, and Scott are
helping out. I'm the only one who's not."

"Why?" Ralf looked at a little confused.

"Nothing to do I guess," Linka casually walked over to her tree and climbed into it.

"There's plenty to do," Ralf called up.

"HEY RALF, come help us will you?" Sheik called.

"But," Ralf hesitated. He didn't want to leave her to her thoughts. The
day went by quickly and as night fell, everyone went to sleep easy.

As morning came, Sheik sat up in bed. He pulled on a clean pair of pants. He heard the door open and close. "Mornin' sis." He didn't need to look at her to see who it was.

"Mornin' bro," she threw him his clothes and brushed his hair. They smiled mischievously as the snuck away. Once in the field they laughed. "It's always so easy," Sheik and Linka collapsed on the ground.

"Yeah," Linka smiled and stared at the sky.

"What's wrong Linka?" Sheik looked at his sister.

"Well, remember last year when you asked if I want to be queen?" Linka sat up.

"Yes."

"I was thinking how different it will be when I join our army. I might not join our army; I might go off and travel like Dad did instead."

"What happens if we need you? What about Ralf?"

"I don't know. I'm still thinking on it," Linka shook her head. "Lets head back," Sheik suggested.

"In a minute," Linka waited for the cool breeze to subside. She stood up as they returned to the castle. Linka and Sheik were taken to their rooms to get ready.

"You look lovely Tula. Where is your date?" Scott asked her. Scott and Tula had been forgiven after they had sworn their alligence to Hyrule.

"I don't know," Tula glanced around. Sheik came out of a door behind them and asked, "Would you like to dance?"

"I'd love to," Scott replied, "but I think my date would rather I danced with her." Cally shook her head as she and Scott went to the dance floor.

"Yes, Sheik, I would love to dance with you," Tula and Sheik went to the dance floor. Ralf stood in the shadows and looked around. He could see his parents dancing. His mother looked beautiful in her long white and red dress. His father looked very handsome in his red tunic. Though they ran the ranch they were very wealthy due to Vincent's job. Vincent smiled down at Malon.

As Ralf watched his parents dance he felt a hand on his shoulder. "haven't I seen you before, care to dance?" Linka coyly asked Ralf.

"Love to,' He took her hand and they started to dance. A slow melody began to play. Linka looked at Ralf's face. She didn't care what 'destiny' was. She knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, right then that no matter what her choice, Ralf would always be there waiting for her.

"Link watched his soon and daughter. 'Well I guess the Goddesses chose correctly when they picked the New Courage and Wisdom.'
