"And you, Link? I think I don't know much about you." Zelda said.

"But I told you everything about my life. I grew in Ordona, didn't meet my parents…"

"No, it's nothing like that. I mean, about YOU. Like… do you love someone?"

"Well…" Link wasn't prepared for a question like that. He was sweating since he obviously had someone he loved, but didn't want to tell her. "Yes." Link answered not knowing how to lie.

"Any chance that I know who?"

"Ah… it's a nice girl I met some time ago. But I don't know if she has feelings for me. And you princess?" Link replied, but Zelda said nothing.

"And you? How you dare to ask me this?" She finally replied.

"I did something wrong?"

"Of course you did! What is your problem? Are you blind or just dumb?" Zelda said extremely angry, while Link just starred there confused.

"Haven't you noticed that everything I did was to call your attention? Making you my bodyguard, tell you about my dress. I gave you thousands of signals, but I think they didn't mean anything for you!" She says with tears on her eyes.

"Well, I'm sorry if I couldn't notice. Not everyone can think like you". Link replies. "This is hard for me too."

"What do you mean?"

"I…I love you. Since that moment, at the first picnic… when our hands touched. I felt that you are the only one I want to pass all my life with. But I couldn't tell you."

"Why?"

"Because you are a princess! Member of the Royal Family of Hyrule. I didn't have any chance. I'm just a peasant, and now, just a soldier. What chance do I have? You're probably going to marry some other man with a blood that really deserves you. Even though I loved you more than anything else, I couldn't find any courage to tell you that. The scariest things in the world are related to the heart, and mine wasn't brave enough."

After that, no one said anything. Silence reigned so deep and terrible, it slashed the ears. The wind stopped. Even the forest became quiet to watch this moment.

"This thing… blood. It doesn't matter. It doesn't exist. Ok?" Zelda said facing Link. "You are much more than a simple peasant or a soldier. You are kind, brave, strong. You are a hero. You are my hero." And then, she feels uncomfortable and looks down. "And at the same time, I am much less than a rich princess who does whatever she wants. I am a person. A fragile person who feels that is going to fall at any time. I am a woman whose heart is in love with you."

"Zelda, I never imagined you felt this way." She didn't reply, and for some time, no one said a single word. They also had no courage to look into each other's eyes. Zelda just faced down, so Link couldn't see her tears, while he just gazed upon the sky, vaguely trying to find an answer for a broken heart.

"Look, a shooting star."

"Fine, make a wish."

"I wish I can build a story with Princess Zelda."

"What are you talking about? You already said it was impossible."

"Zelda, we were born in different realities, so distant to each other. But somehow, we are here. Now, the sun may be witnessing the moment we let the past in the past and start weaving a future together. Of course, it won't be easy, and I was afraid of taking the risks, but you opened my eyes and gave me the strength to fight for that."

"You didn't convince me." Zelda replied seriously. "However, I can't deny the wish of my heart. I truly love you and I believe you feel the same, so let's fight the thorns in our path, let our tears dry and then, our fates shall become one."

"Love you Zel."

"Love you Link." That said, the hugged each other, closing their eyes to feel better each second of that moment.

Peace

"Link, 6:30! We must run! By now, we can't let anyone know about us."

Once again, the couple was running for their lives. Zelda was so worried, that even wearing high heels, she was faster than Link.

"Worth it." Link said to himself.
