Legend of Zelda: Orb of Dreams

Chapter Five: Lunch! Ehe…

Link followed the maid down the endless halls, completely confusing himself with the directions. He just couldn't understand how anyone found their way around this huge palace. The better question was why Kings and Queens needed such a gigantic place, do they even use it all!

He pushed the questions aside as the maid stopped in front of large oak doors. Why did they need doors this big? No one is nearly that tall! Link once again set aside the questions for another day, right now he was going to have lunch with royalty. He hoped he wouldn't offend anyone with his table manners, especially when he didn't know any, saving the world doesn't exactly leave one time to learn those things.

The maid bowed slightly as Link walked passed her into the room. Sweat beads formed along his brow as the doors closed behind him.

"Link! I'm glade to see you're alright. You gave everyone quite a start," the King smiled at him.

"I'm sorry about that..." Link stuttered out.

"It's ok. Come and sit, Zelda should be joining us soon," he said ushering Link to a chair next to him.

Cautiously Link made his way over to the seat, but didn't sit down.

"Something wrong Link?" it was a woman's voice.

Links eyes meet Zelda's as she walked over to her seat at the table.

"No, it just wouldn't be polite to sit down before a lady does," Link stated nervously.

"Thank you," she gracefully sat down in her chair, "please sit."

Link quickly did as he was told, keeping his eyes down.

Butlers walked in behind them and placed their plates in front each person. Lifting the covers off, Link could smell the fresh meat and juicy fruits. He had never seen anything that good before he hadn't eaten anything remotely close to this.

"Now let's say our prayers," the King said enter lacing his own fingers Zelda did so as well. Link followed suit but wasn't quite sure what was going on.

"We thank the Goddesses for the food before us and for the peace of our country. Well, let's eat."

The King and Zelda immediately picked up a fork and started delicately eating the food set before them.

Link started at the silverware on the side of the plate then he backed off. "Holy hell! How many forks can one meal have there's like three… or is that one to? I'm am so confused what do I use? Hell, I barely use one of these things for every meal… I knew I should've stayed in bed…"

"Link, is something wrong you're not eating?" Zelda asked worriedly.

"No," He immediately picked up a random fork and knife, digging into his steak.

"So Link," the King set down his fork and knife, whipping his face with a napkin. "Tell us about youself."

"Uh," Link set down his silverware as well, "Well, uh… there's not much to say…"

"Come on there has to be something unique about you!"

Link just looked at him.

Zelda butted in, "Well, we know he has saved our kingdom. That's pretty unique."

"Yes yes I know that but what did you do before that?"

Link wanted so much to slam his head into the table. "Your majesty all I know how to do is fight, ride a horse, and fish. I haven't done much of anything else in my life."

"Well why not?"

"Never had time," he went back to eating feeling extremely stupid.

Zelda looked at him with sorrowful eyes understanding him perfectly.

"Why don't we move off that subject. Have you thought at all about what I asked you?"

"Yeah."

"Link, I have to tell you that it would be in your best interest."

Link continued to eat his meal as if the King had said nothing.

"Link?"

"I don't know…"

"What! Link if I was in your position I would grab this chance in a heart beat-"

Link stood up from the table setting down his silverware. "Thank you for the meal," he bowed and left the room.

"Dear, what did I say?"

"I don't think it's you father I just think he's going through a hard time right now," she went back to eating.

"Alright then…"

/0/0/0/0/0/

Link burst out of the dining hall. "I knew I shouldn't have come. I don't know if I can keep on fighting like this. Argh! Maybe Navi can knock some sense into me…"

He walked a down the hall and into another one and another and another still. "Ack! I can get through countless dungeons and mazes but I can't figure out a castle! What kind of a hero am I?"
