Note: So… I may have procrastinated studying for an exam so I was able to write quite a bit this week. With that said, I'll be posting 3 chapters this week, especially since chapter 5 felt a little short anyways. Also, thanks for the reviews and feedback, I'll try to take it all into account but any feedback is always appreciated.

In regards to the story, another major/minor change being made here, I'm not really sure what kind. Like I've said before, I really love the characters Nintendo made in this game so you'll often see me from here on altering details so that they exist within the timeline of this story. With that said, I don't want to spoil it again (although this warning may make it obvious) but these characters are now fraternal twins so they appear in this as the same age, female is still the older of the two though. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: Still not Nintendo

CHAPTER 4: New Discoveries

Zelda and Link stood near on the Altar just before the Spring, Zelda was determined to still have her moment to pray and thank the goddesses despite what they had just endured. She retrieved her prayer gown, the same one that she had worn when they defeated Ganon. Link started a fire to keep them warm when Zelda gave him the signal to turn around so that she could change.

With his back still turned she began talking to him, "Link, how feasible would it be to try to make it to Zora's Domain by tonight? After what we saw here I want to speak with King Dorephan as to whether or not he's seen or heard of these spirits. Given his lengthy lifespan he's more than likely at least heard about them."

Link looked up to the sky for a moment before saying, "On foot not likely, but I have an idea you might not like."

"You can turn back now, let me hear what you have in mind."

Link turned back to look at her in her prayer dress, she was just as beautiful as always and that dress always reminded him of that fact. He let his eyes roam her figure for a split moment before regaining his composure. Zelda blushed under his gaze and looked at the ground momentarily, willing the color from her cheeks to go away.

"The Rito taught me how to make the paraglider you saw me use today, I could make you one and we should be able to make it close to Rutala Dam and then hike around Ruto Mountain to take the path straight into the Domain."

The thought alone made her stomach drop but it would certainly make travelling easier for them, "That sounds like a plan, would you be able to make it while I pray?"

"Yes Princess."

With that, they each set off to their respective roles, Zelda thanked the goddesses for their aid while link retrieved some of the materials he had stored in the Sheikah Slate and set off to work. Zelda was there for about two hours but the time flew by, she didn't exactly want to get out of the spring as well, the water was warm enough to stave off the cold of the mountain, but as soon as she got out it would be upon her. Rather than waste time she asked Link to look away again and then she got out of the water to change as quickly as she could. She noticed that Link had already finished her paraglider and it looked just like his, the only difference was the cloth which looked like some Gerudo material she recognized. As soon she was done changing she walked over to where Link sat and cheerfully said, "All ready."

Link smiled back at her and stood to put out the fire before they set off. The travelled back down the trail until they were on the North side of the mountain and Link handed over his paraglider and ran her through how to use it. If he was going to have her use one, it would be the one he knew worked fine.

"Does that all make sense?"

"I think so, I'm still a little nervous though." She replied still looking at it somewhat uneasily.

"Just follow my lead. Ready?" He said and she nodded in reply.

Looking back at her one more time he leapt off the cliff and held his paraglider above him. Zelda followed suit yelling at first but soon it was replaced with uneasy laughter. Link couldn't help but smile as he looked back and saw her looking around in wonder. He struggled to keep the paraglider under control and he made a mental note to test it more before he let her have it. They made it down to Rutala damn in no time and they took some time for Zelda to let the adrenaline come down. From there they made their way as Link guided them onto the Great Zora Bridge. By the time they arrived it was nearly nightfall and Zelda decided to get rooms at the inn rather than go disturb the King at that hour.

Kayden and Kodah, owners of the seabed inn recognized the pair and gave them a warm welcome and showed them to their rooms. Link was sitting on the bed in his room when he heard a light knock on his door. It was Zelda, she wasn't quite ready to go to sleep just yet it seemed "Would you like to accompany me for a walk Link?" She asked.

Link couldn't refuse her so he stood and followed her as they made their way towards the Western bridge. She stopped halfway across and leaned on the railing, she hadn't said anything but Link clearly knew she had something on her mind and he waited patiently until she finally spoke up.

"I've been thinking about the fourth location we need to reach and you know Hyrule much better than I do. I noticed that all the springs are located along the Eastern half of the continent do you think the last would be on this side of Hyrule? Or are their locations supposed to tell us something?"

"I do not know Princess, although I've been all over Hyrule the springs have been very hidden, I could have easily missed it. Maybe looking at their locations on the map might tell us something?" As his response, she pulled out the Sheikah Slate and placed pins on the known locations of the three shrines.

"But what would connect the three?" She wondered out loud, speaking more to herself than to Link.

Link couldn't help but smile, the way she always became so focused and determined was inspiring to him. It helped that it was a beautiful night out and she practically shone in the moonlight, had the circumstances been different it could have almost been romantic. Link silently chided himself for letting his thoughts get away from him again, it had been happening more frequently since they first set off together. Trying to distract himself he spoke once again, "Maybe King Dorephan will have some ideas as well, he may remember a time when there was a fourth spring?"

Zelda smiled to him, "You're right, hopefully he can provide us with some answers tomorrow. Thank you Link." At that, she began walking back to their rooms, Link left her at her door before returning to his and they both rested well that night.
