Disclamer: I don't own the rights of The Legend of Zelda.

Chapter 6 (Interlude): Love

Saria (Ocarina of Time)

Mother, friend, sister, first love ... There were so many possible words with which others used to describe my relationship with Link ... I will never know if any of them were true. So I will say what I know.

I was the first kokiri to find him at the foot of the Great Deku Tree, next to the body of his biological mother. I was the one who took care of him since he was a helpless baby. I was the one who taught him to listen to the voice of the forest and that of its inhabitants. I was the one who encouraged him when Mido and the others made fun of him. I was the one who gave him an ocarina and taught him to play it. I was the one who saw him for the last time...

I always believed that my life would be the same as the rest of the Kokiri. Hidden in that forest we called paradise. Always protected by the blessing of the Great Deku Tree. Living happily in the middle of nature without getting sick, getting old, dying or going hungry. Not even the Skull kids were a serious problem, they were only a minor nuisance.

I felt empty. It was surely the only kokiri who wondered if our lives had any meaning, or we simply lived to live. Even animals seemed to have more purposes in their lives as they sought to reproduce for the endurance of their species. We, being practically immortal and having children's bodies, did not need that.

Hyrule didn't need us, our species was not going to disappear, the forest was protected by the magic of the Great Deku Tree so what ... why did we exist? We weren't going to change the world or anything like that. If we extinguished nothing would change.

Every time I had an existential doubt, I remembered Link, the greatest gift Goddess Farore could have given us.

"There are so many things I wanted to do." He lamented every night when he was a little kid. "Can't I stay up a little longer?"

"No Link, you've done a lot for today, now you must rest."

"W-but... "

"Link," I said in a firm voice. "If you don't rest well tomorrow you won't have the energy to play."

Then, Link clenched his lips in disgust, though it immediately passed.

"Can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" He used to ask me.

"You don't even have to ask me that," I replied with a smile as I stroked his head.

I am one of the few people who remember living in that fateful future ruled by Ganondorf. How could I forget what I felt when the power of the Forest Sage woke up in me? That feeling of being connected to all creation, of feeling that I was part of something bigger...I could never forget it.

Link was a man when he came to rescue me in that dystopian future. I hardly recognized him. Outside he seemed strong, brave and much smarter ... A hero.

However, I knew how to see beyond that mask he wore. I knew how to see all the pain he felt for not having stopped Ganondorf as a child, the pain of not being able to save Hyrule much earlier. His rapid passage to adulthood didn't help his doubts dissipate, it only increased them.

I tried my best to alleviate his guilt and pain but neither Navi nor I were the ones for that task. Immediately I saw that only one person could break the shell that imprisoned his heart. Zelda.

I didn't know how to feel. Jealous? Distressed? Relieved? Glad because Link's eyes shone for someone other than me? Honestly, even now I have doubts about how to feel because I don't even know how my relationship with Link really was.

The Forest Sage, of which I was a vessel, provided me with more than powers. It gave me the ability to see beyond. I could see fragments of past lives, past lives of Link ... and Zelda.

I never knew if the other sages also had that experience, because I didn't consider the apocalypse to be the most opportune moment to talk about these issues. Even so, I could understand better why there was a subtle attraction between Link and Zelda.

When everything returned to normal, I felt somewhat sorry because I no longer had powers or felt connected to the Creation. A small price for the happiness of Hyrule.

I saw Link again a short time later. That boy was never still and already wanted to leave on another mission, in search of his friend Navi. It saddened me to see that in his belt he carried Zelda's ocarina instead of mine. Another reminder that whatever I felt for Link, I had to let him go.

I am a kokiri and he is a hylian. Our races should not be mixed more than necessary. Apart from that, together we would have no future ... Which future? I still don't know for sure.

Over time I got used to the routine again. Meanwhile and as always, the world kept moving forward. Link's wedding, the subsequent war against Ganondorf's allies and Link's death...

That was a moment in my life that I would like to forget at all costs. The body of the person I loved most, bloodied, lying in the middle of the Lost Forest and with a golden armour covering it completely.

I was sure he had fought bravely until the end. That's how stubborn he was. He never fled, never turned his back on his problems or his friends.

While I was holding his head in my little arms, I couldn't help remembering. His childhood, his pranks, his joy, his tenacity, his love for Hyrule, his love for her...

"S-saria? ..." were his words as he opened his left eye, for the right had lost him during the battle.

"Sssh, calm down, I'm here," I replied softly. "I will not leave you alone."

A faint smile formed on his pale face. We both knew he had no salvation. He had lost too much blood and there was no one around with enough magic to save him.

"There are so many things to do," he lamented, "...So many people I should help. C-can't I stay alive a little longer?"

"N-no Link, you've already done a lot for Hyrule, now you must rest," I replied in tears that I couldn't hold back.

"B-but... "

"L-Link," I said in a trembling voice. "If you don't rest well, you won't have the energy to fight in your next life."

Then Link's faint smile widened a little more as he understood and accepted my words.

"C-can you stay with me ... until I fall asleep?" He asked as he grabbed my hand.

"You don't even have to ask me that," I replied with a smile as I stroked his face.

Malon (Ocarina of Time)

Who would that green boy be, able to tame the untamed Epona? That was what Malon wondered when she first met Link.

Malon soon became interested in that child so mysterious that carried a sword and shield. Link was his name. He was always traveling or in the Citadel. For some reason he maintained friendship with Princess Zelda. Perhaps it was because he had uncovered a plot against the kingdom by the gerudo king, Ganondorf.

Link, whenever he could, came to visit her with Epona and played some beautiful song with his ocarina. Then he helped her with the ranch chores, as her father spent the day sleeping and his uncle had left to start a business selling vases.

When they finished the tasks Link told her the adventures he had lived and a couple of anecdotes. Malon always listened attentively and with a smile on her face. Smile that was slightly erased when Link mentioned Princess Zelda.

Over the years, the other inhabitants of Hyrule joked with her, telling her that Link would begin to woo her very soon. Malon wanted to laugh. If the others were more attentive, they would realize the brightness that illuminated Link's eyes every time he was with Zelda or talked about her.

If Zelda was there, it is as if the rest of the world didn't exist for the young green knight. All his trips, all his training and all the studies he did, it was more than obvious who he wanted to impress.

Long before Link was a general in the army, rumours about a secret romance between him and the princess had already reached the ears of all of Hyrule. It was around that time that Link formally introduced her to Zelda.

Malon had to admit that the princess looked like the incarnation of a goddess. Not only that, she was also intelligent, kind and very close to those of lower rank. If Malon felt bad in her presence, it wasn't her fault. Some might add that the princess was too perfect, but Malon knew that Link would never notice a perfect person.

Zelda was sometimes very impatient, she used to argue with Link when he became very stubborn. When the three of them were alone, she ate as if her life was in it and she had an almost comical terror towards the mice. It was those details and many more that made Malon and she became closer and closer, to the point of being considered friends.

Friendship ... such a beautiful word, but at the same time so painful. Malon knew it, she knew that friendship was the only thing she would get from Link while Zelda was in his life. Crying wasn't going to solve anything. So, despite knowing the answer, she confessed to Link her feelings. The blow was painful, but expected. Luckily their friendship wasn't clouded by that event.

Finally, Malon accepted that there are things that cannot be changed. She agreed to go to the castle Ball when they announced their engagement. She agreed to be Zelda's maid of honour when they asked for it, agreed to see how they kissed after finishing the wedding, agreed to see how they walked together hand in hand and looked at each other as if they were destined To be together forever.

A few years later, war broke out. It was fierce. Many lives were lost. Even so, Hyrule won. The gerudo king was executed later or that is what Malon heard, sincerely, she didn't care because all she cared about was being able to mourn Link's death.

No one had found his body to ensure he was dead, but they said he had entered the Forbidden Forest to stop some witches. He never came back from there.

Zelda visited her a while later. You could notice her pregnancy. At least Link had left some of him in this world. Malon comforted her friend. She didn't cry until Zelda was away from the ranch.

Through tears, she thought that if Link had accepted her feelings and had married her, he would still be alive ... Who did she want to fool? Even if he was a farmer, Link wouldn't have hesitated to go out to defend Hyrule and its inhabitants with his life. That was him. That's why she loved him so much.

Malon had only to accept that there are things that cannot be changed for more than one insists. Link had a destiny to fulfill and apparently someone to love so much as to marry her. The sooner she accepted it, the sooner that immense pain she felt in her chest would leave ... Or that is what she wanted to believe.

Ruto (Ocarina of Time)

"Marry me!"

"Ruto ... I've already told you that I can't. I'm going to marry Zelda, so you must accept-"

"What she has that I do not?!"

"... It's not a matter of having or not having. I am simply in love with her."

"Then fall out of love."

"...That doesn't work that way."

"Bah! You don't know what you're missing. You could have been the next king Zora. Now that I am not the Water Sage nothing hindered our union.

"I know."

"I don't want to hear your excuses! Get out of my sight!"

Midna (Twilight Princess)

"Midna…"

The king of Hyrule was sitting on the floor of one of the Castle's dungeons. In the place where he met a very special woman. His partner, his teacher and his best friend. Without her, he would remain transformed into a wolf, locked or dead. Hyrule would have fallen long ago at the hands of the usurper king and the gerudo king.

Link began to remember. At that time he believed that Midna was an imp to whom he had just sold his soul so he could flee from there and find his friends. But thanks to her he knew freedom, he knew other places in Hyrule, he knew his destiny and above all, he met Zelda.

Midna may have been an imp but in this case, selling his soul had been totally worth it. Without her, he and his kingdom would be mired in the shadows for all eternity.

Her sometimes diabolical, playful and bossy attitude had driven him mad at first, until he realized that it was part of her charm. In addition, with the passage of time Midna became friendlier and even closer. Enough to tell secrets between them.

Thanks to Midna, he was able to defeat King Bublin, Zant and Ganondorf. Thanks to Midna he could be the Hero of Twilight. Thanks to Midna ... He would never forget the day he saw her leave after breaking the Mirror of Twilight, forever separating both worlds.

"Link... I...See you later..."

Link was not naive, at least not now. He could finally recognize in Midna's gaze what she really felt. It was the same look that Zelda gave him every day.

"If she hadn't broken the mirror… would I have reciprocated her feelings?" Link asked quietly. That was always his doubt, because from friendship to love there is a long way and besides, he never consider Midna a romantic interest until he saw her true form.

"A long time ago, when the cosmos didn't even exist, the light and the darkness split. Since then both have faced each other, seeking to eradicate each other," Midna told him years ago.

"True," Zelda corroborated. "Light and darkness are two sides of the same coin. They must live together but never mix. The time in which they were one has passed..."

"Are you so sure that they will never join again?" Link asked confused and somewhat discouraged.

Zelda and Midna looked at each other and then at Link.

"As long as people have freedom to make decisions, it will never be possible to unite light and darkness," said Zelda.

"And maybe it's better that way," Midna said with a mischievous smile. "Life would be very boring if we always made the same decisions and never made mistakes."

"I wonder what you would say if you had been on my wedding day," Link said with a small smile.

For some strange reason, he felt that his friend, from where she was, had blessed his union with Zelda. Even so, he would have liked to see her one last time. That she hadn't left that way so ... abrupt forever in his life.

"I suppose there are things that can't be avoided ..."

"Hee hee hee hee. Wow, I'm glad to see that you're not that dumb and talkative kid. Maybe it has been good for you to "get along" with Zelda so much, huh little wolf?"

Link turned around quickly but saw nothing. Everything was still as calm. For a moment, he had thought he heard Midna's voice ... but that was impossible.

"Daddy, what are you doing here?"

Link looked up and saw a small girl with long dark hair that highlighted her crystalline blue eyes.

"Midna, how many times have I told you not to go down to the old dungeons?" Link scolded. "And where is your babysitter?"

"I've misled her," she replied with a mischievous smile.

Link gave a sigh before laughing. Then he got up and hugged his daughter.

"My little" imp "," he whispered as she stroked her head. "Let's go back to your mother before she starts worrying."

As they walked Midna asked him to tell her a story.

"After dinner and if you behave," Link replied affectionately.

His daughter loved hearing the stories and legends of Hyrule. Her enthusiasm for knowing the literary culture of the kingdom always surprised Link.

"And what story do you want to hear this time?"

"The Twilight Princess!" Exclaimed Midna.

Ilia (Twilight Princess)

"... Do you really want me to be her godmother?" Ilia asked very nervously. "B-but if it's the princess..."

"It would be a great honour for Zelda and me." Link assured her with a smile.

Ilia always believed that her life was determined from the moment she was born. She would grow up in Ordon. She would take care of Epona and the children. She would help her father and eventually replace him as mayor of Ordon. And finally, she would marry Link, her childhood friend.

She and Link were the only teenagers in the town other than Fado, so it was logical that they ended up together. In moments like that Ilia remembered a phrase Zelda told her a long time ago.

"If you want to make the gods laugh, you just have to tell them your plans."

How true. The twilight took everything from her, her dreams, the children, Epona, her future, her home, her memories and her possible love life with Link.

Even so, not everything was bad. She could see the world, she could discover more things about herself and in the end, she could return to her town. Now she was friends with the kings of Hyrule, had a family and was mayor of Ordon. Her plans had changed a lot but she was happy and made others happy. That was the most important thing.

"The other nobles ... won't they be offended that a peasant is the godmother of Princess Midna?" Ilia asked very worried. The last thing she needed was to have a group of soldiers invading Ordon.

"Don't worry, Zelda and I have made it very clear what will happen to anyone who dares to harm a very precious friend of the royal family." Link's eyes emitted a slight glow but it was so quick that Ilia thought she had imagined it.

"Well, thank you very much for that," Ilia said relieved. "Then it will be an honour to be your daughter's godmother. I just hope not to fail."

"You never fail at important moments, Ilia," Link said affectionately. "You should only do the same as you did when we were all younger."

"And what was I doing, my good king?"

"Being very bossy, somewhat grumpy and very possessive of Epona."

"Link!"

The king of Hyrule laughed as he escaped from his friend, who was chasing him ready to teach him a lesson.

In the distance the king's personal escort watched the scene quite calmly while they sat on the green grass.

Din (Oracle of Seasons)

Din was like a dancing fire. Hypnotizing, full of passion, strength and capable of raising the enthusiasm of anyone who contemplated her. As was logical, all the Hylians and humans approached her, hoping to dominate her.

But fire cannot be dominated. Fire can be your ally but if you provoke it, it can cause your destruction. Maybe that's why everyone was content to observe her and be able to be close to her.

Although, there was someone who did dominate Holodrum dancer's heart of fire. A green wolf.

Seductively, insinuatingly, she was attracting the wolf. The wolf approached the fire with curiosity, for its light and heat were too captivating. Even so, everyone knew that wolves run away from fire, it's like a natural instinct.

That green wolf was not a dog, he was not domesticated, he wasn't afraid of fire but he respected her enough to know that he could end up consumed by her flames. That's why the wolf walked away, until he found a flower in the middle of a field of flowers.

It was a rose that stood proud among its peers. Her beauty stood out so much that it overshadowed the other flowers and attracted numerous knights and nobles. But her thorns drove them all away instantly. Everyone, except the green wolf.

The fire watched with some envy, as the rose accepted the wolf. Together, they took care of each other and professed a love that went beyond understanding. For a moment, the wrath of the fire was such that it was about to burn the rose. But she did not, because she would never forgive herself for making such a mistake.

The fire was not alone, for the water and the wind were her companions. They made her see that her destiny was another. That her mission was another.

Din could only observe and observe, while dancing, while the fire in her heart went out a little, knowing that the wolf had chosen the rose before her.

Marin (Link´s Awakening)

"There is a place where I must return at all costs ... Someone is waiting for me."

Those were the words that made Marin better understand Link's motivation.

Was she a product of a god's dream? Was she the reflection of the woman with whom the Hero was to return at all costs? Or was she both? Whatever the answer, it was clear that she wasn't real.

And if she wasn't real, why did her heart beat so hard and fast every time she saw him? Why did she run out of breath every time they were together? Why did it hurt to see that he kept going forward, not thinking about the consequences his actions would bring?

Briefly the romance she and Link had. She didn't even know for sure if Link had really reciprocated her feelings once. And, in moments of intimacy, although not as much intimacy as she would have liked, there was always a name that came out ... Zelda.

Link had woken up the god of the island. Her whole world disappeared in a white and deadly mist. Its inhabitants were not worried at all. They had no emotions, they weren't like "her".

"Marin, if you could make a wish, what would it be?" Link asked once.

"To fly," she replied without thinking. "To fly to escape from here, to see the world."

To be able to go with him.

Mipha (Breath of the Wild)

Dear Link,

If you are reading this letter it will mean that I have died and I have not been able to tell you its contents myself.

For several days I have been having nightmares, nightmares related to ... Ganon. Maybe it's just that, nightmares, but I have a feeling there's something else...

Long ago, when faith in the gods was greater than ever, we had oracles and prophets capable of deciphering our destinies. I fear that our current lack of faith is our downfall...

But I don't want to waste your time with those issues. I want my last words to inspire you to continue living in case I ... In case I am not by your side.

I've seen you grow up since you were a naughty and crazy child to a brave and crazy knight. In spite of your talent and all that you have accomplished, you are still seeking the approval of your father, the king and the princess. I assure you that you already have it.

Link, you're the best thing that ever happened to Hyrule. Being able to meet you and be your friend has been something so wonderful that I have no words to describe it ... I lie, I do.

I love you.

Two words so simple but at the same time so complicated to pronounce ... I know that what you feel for me is friendship, do not try to deny it because I have seen how you look at the princess. It's amazing that you get along so well when a few months ago you just wanted to be as far away from each other as possible.

Even so, if I had more time and more courage I would fight for your love. You could never be king of the Zora and surely many of the council would reject you but we would be together.

Maybe I'm getting my hopes up because I know you and I know you could refuse me not to create a schism in my city. That's how noble you are, always putting the needs of others first.

However, let me give you some advice. If you ever feel that you have found someone without whom you could not live, do not hesitate, be selfish for once in your life. Don't make the mistake of being a coward ... like me.

Link, don't cry my death. I am sure that whatever it is, I fight to the end, for my family, for my people, for my kingdom, for my ideals ... and especially for you. Live your life as if there were no tomorrow and do not regret your decisions.

If there is a life beyond death, and I am sure that it is so, I will take care of you from there. Until the time comes to see us again, and I hope it is when your hair is snow white and your children are as noble and brave as you.

Good bye, knight of Hyrule and my heart.

With all my love, Mipha.

Paya (Breath of the Wild)

"Paya… are you okay?" Link asked me. I was so nervous that I could barely hear his words.

"Yes," I replied as quickly as I could.

I had come to the village of Hatelia to give a message to my aunt-grandmother Prunia. That was my only mission. But I could not help diverting to see Link. Who could blame me for doing something that anyone in my situation would have done?

Link was staring at me, waiting for me to say something. He was so kind and so handsome ... Concentrate Paya!

My grandmother Impa had told me that Link had told her, that he would soon carry out his most important and dangerous mission. He was going to save the princess from the legends, Zelda.

Apparently he had already recovered all his memories, at least the main ones. So this was my only chance to tell him what I felt for him. I couldn't keep doubting. After all, who knows when I would meet someone like him again?

"Hmm ... Paya ... Do you have something to tell me?" Link asked. Oh no! He was getting impatient because of my indecision. I had to say something quickly before he got fed up and left!

"I-I-I-I-I…" The words didn't come out. I hadn't felt such shame since my grandmother told Link where I have a birthmark. That thought only made things worse for me.

I could feel my face turn red like a tomato. My breathing increased at times and my heart seemed about to get out of me nothing modest chest.

"Paya?" Link looked worried, and approached me putting a hand on my shoulder.

He was touching me, he was touching me! That was too much for me and I fell to the ground. Everything went black and I could only hear Link's voice calling me desperately.

When I woke up I did it in my aunt-grandmother Prunia's laboratory. She and her assistant told me that I had passed out a whole day. Link was long gone ... And I had lost the opportunity of my life.

Cia/Lana (Hyrule Warriors)

Loneliness. Can anyone really understand the full meaning of that word? I doubt it.

For generations, I have had only one mission. Ensure the balance of the Triforce. That was the task entrusted to me by the Gold goddesses: Din, Nayru and Farore. I should be flattered, and so it was, during the first centuries...

Live in a great castle, with a beautiful garden to take care of. Observe the history of all the races that inhabit Hyrule throughout the ages ... All that was a privilege that very few could enjoy.

Thanks to my magic, I could see through the ages and know the destiny of every living being, but always without intervening. I came to see so many wars and destruction that many times I came to consider the meaning of life.

All the souls of those beings seemed the same to me, full of ambition and almost always primitive desires ... Until I saw him. A soul like no other, of a purity that blinded just looking at it.

What struck me most was that his soul bore the mark of not one, but two goddesses. When a god makes you his chosen one, leave a kind of "mark" in your soul. So you can reincarnate and continue with your mission no matter what your new life is like.

My soul bore the mark of Din, Nayru and Farore. The green hylian's soul bore the mark of Farore ... and Hylia. Strange, Farore's mark was superficial, which was normal, but Hylia's was very deep, too deep.

At that time I did not give any importance to that detail because I wanted to know all about that hylian that everyone called Link. I saw all his victories and defeats. Hyrule, his sister, his friends, the excitement of the adventure ... No matter the reason because he was always willing to risk everything to overcome evil.

His power, his courage and his wisdom ... For me he was perfect. Nightmares, usurping kings, ancient demons, sorcerers, witches, beings from the Dark World ... Nothing could stop him. He was invincible, and his physical appearance although not imposing, was a delicacy before my eyes, and from what I could see most women thought the same.

Be careful.

I ... longed for someone like him by my side. People are not islands, we cannot live centuries apart from each other and that "voluntary" confinement began to kill me slowly. Link ... why couldn't I be loved by someone like him? Should I stay there alone for all eternity?

It is our mission, for that we were chosen.

Accepting that fact, I decided to continue observing that courageous Hero. Until one day I saw something that had been overlooked. In all his lives there was always something or rather someone in common.

A woman, a princess, a queen, a goddess, the daughter of a mayor ... It didn't matter what her role was, but Hylia was always by his side. Only that in her mortal form her name was Zelda. The "main character" of all Hyrule's legends. The woman whose soul seemed to be linked to Link's by a golden tie, the strongest of all.

They are meant to be together forever.

It was not fair. Why was the only soul that caught my attention attached to that of a goddess? Do not the gods have it all? Why take away the little happiness I had left?

He was never our destiny.

Destiny, what was destiny? Being tied to the whims of three goddesses who didn't even bother to talk to me?

Calm down, Cia, you don't know what you're saying.

Yes, yes, I know. That's why I start to be tired. Tired of having to give up everything, of having to see someone as brave as Link risks his life over and over again for a woman who doesn't know how to keep her kingdom safe. Legends always talk about her when is Link who does all the work. However, he is barely mentioned and sometimes even forgotten...

That is not true. Nothing you say is true.

If it is. If Link were with me, he wouldn't have to go through such an ordeal to be happy. I could give him everything he need and more.

You are walking along a very dangerous pat- You deserve to know love.

Maybe. Everyone has a soulmate, who says Link is not my soulmate?

He and Hylia are-! That's right, the goddesses stole your freedom and now they steal your soulmate, such cruelty...

Finally someone seemed to understand how deceived I felt. Dangerous ideas began to haunt my mind every time I saw Link. My body burned from being touched by him, from being able to kiss him and…no! What am I thinking about? I'm not like that!

All right, now you have to rel- Don't you want to possess him and have he own you? Do you really love him so much? I didn't think you'd be such a coward and give up so easily ... Maybe you deserve to be alone...

I-I ... I don't want to be alone ... I don't want to be alone...

You are not alone, you have m- Don't you want to have him by your side every night? Don't you want to be devoured by the fire of his passion? Don't you want to wake up every day with the warmth of his body by your side?

Yes! Of course I want him! Who wouldn't? This life of servitude with no one at my side makes no sense.

He can be yours.

... How? What should I do? Tell me!

Cia, please, n-. You just have to follow my orders. Pay attention to me and he will be yours for all eternity.

But what about Zelda? How could a simple sorceress compete with the incarnation of a goddess?

You are better than her.

Is that true?

The gods are nothing but cruel and liars. Puppeteers who use the threads of fate to handle humanity. Some promised you free will but with that they condemned you to the evil of your peers. Others tied you with chains called prophecies and destiny ... In the end we are only their toys, not their children.

It was true. Many were doomed to suffer at the hands of the most powerful and the gods would do nothing as it would "violate" our freedom. Others like Link and I, we had to follow the orders of the gods and suffer to protect a world that fell more and more into darkness...

And for what? In each era the evil returned again and again and easily undid everything good that had been created. It was a vicious and meaningless circle. In moments like this I realized that our lives seemed like a cruel comedy that the gods enjoyed and laughed at.

You must break the cycle. You must use the golden treasure. You can make Link happy ... if you're by his side.

Yes, he would be mine, in body, mind and spirit. For all the eternity.

Don't let anyone or anything get in your way. Remove any obstacles.

No need to tell me. For me, eliminating Zelda, her friends and her kingdom was my top priority. Without them, the hero's heart would have nothing to cling to ... Nothing, except my love. I was going to save him from a cruel destiny and I was going to love him with all my strength. He would never leave my side ... Never.

Cia…
