~Link's POV~

When Midna warped us out of Hyrule Castle, I ran towards Faron woods, killing bulbins and bokoblins. When we arrived, I went towards the entrance of the temple. Then I saw the monkey with the flower in her hair/fur running from something. Then four wooden puppets, like the one who kidnapped (Y/N), surrounded the poor animal, then they turned towards me and...floated to attack me. I fought those things and killed them, saving the monkey, once again.

"Did...Did you save me?" she asked and I nodded. "Th-Thank you! Listen, since you're so nice, let me tell you something: there's a really pretty wooded area on the other side of the cliff! I climbed over there, but when I tried to get deeper into the woods, THOSE guys attacked me! What's in those woods, anyway?" She said and I went to the cliff she talked about. But the monley stopped me.

"Your smell...It's so familiar... It smells a bit like a green-clad prince who helped me out once! I hope his friend is alright...she got kidnapped by one of those guys..." I looked down, and felt Midna patting softly my head, as if saying 'It's alright, we'll find (Y/N).' I went to the cliff.

"So there's another section of forest beyond this cliff. All right, Link, let's go!" And I jumped on the platforms with the her help. We arrived at a place with turning bridges (you know the ones you have to turn with the boomerang in the first dungeon). I waited for the wind to turn them and I went towards the woods. There was a stone which made a wind sound. I went near it and howled the melody. The golden wolf told me where to find him.

After that, I and Midna went into the woods of the Sacred Grove. There were torches and a howling stone, but with a Triforce on it. I looked around, marveling from the beauty of the place. But I saw that the way was blocked by some sort of wall. I sighed internally and went to the howling stone near where I cried the song. Then a child with a weird hat and cape jumped down from the trees, which were REALLY tall. The child were carrying a horn and a lantern. He chuckled then blown in his horn.

Then four puppets appeared. 'So it's him who invokes those things...' Then the imp ran towards a new made hole. I killed all the puppets then took off, following the path of the weird kid. I followed the music made by the horn and hit the kid. I passed lots of places where there were waterfalls and big trees, it was truly beautiful, but I had to find that imp. I hit him a few times, going through the forest, trying not to get lost. When I hit him a third time, he went through a way that was once made of stones. I jumped down the platform I was on and followed him, entering a clearing with fallen walls.

The kid saw me and seemed to get angry. He stomped and jumped like a spoiled child. He teleported and called his minions. I tried to bite him, but he teleported somewhere else.

I had to hit when he was blowing his horns to call his puppets. I did this for at least three times. Then the sky seemed to clear and I heard a voice, probably coming from that kid. "Hee hee hee! ...'Bye!" Then a way was made, giving me the possibility to continue.

I went through the way and entered a clearing (again) with fallen walls and columns. There was also the sign of the Triforce on the ground with two statues. I howled the Zelda's lullaby and the sign on the ground glowed. The floor was now divided in a bunch of platforms! Then the two statues came to life, jumping. One was now in front of me and the other behind me.

"We are guardians of this land...Guide us to where we once stood. Only then can you enter the true Sacred Grove..." It was a riddle and I thought about a way to take them back where they were.

I jumped on the left to see what they'll do: the one behind me follows my directions and the other goes in the other way. It took me quite a long time to solve this riddle but I finally did it when they were both at their original place. They tapped the floor with their hammer and the door in front of me opened, giving the way to the 'true Sacred Grove'.

"Go now to the sacred place, beast...We yeild passage to the Sacred Grove..."

Then the floor went back to how it was before, and I took off to the stairs, climbing and seeing a sword in a stone.
I went to it and it slowly glowed, pushing the darkness away from it, and since I had this evil power in me, I was pushed back, but I stayed in place, trying to fight back. I roared and I felt something coming out of me, being pushed away by the pure light. I was back in my human form and I put my hand on the handle, taking it from the stone. I held it up and all the foam surrounding it disappeared.

"The sword accepted you as its master..." Midna said, surprised. I looked at the sword and saw something in the reflection: I saw two figures walking hand in hand, one had (h/l) (h/c) hair and the other blondish hair. They were both carrying weapons: a bow and a sword. I blinked and the reflection wasn't there anymore. I shook my head and made a few slashes, to see how was the balance of the Master Sword. I put it in my sheath.

Then Midna appeared from my shadow, holding a black crystal with orange thing in it from the tip of her finger, making it float.

"This thing is the embodiment of the evil magic that Zant cast on you." She looked closely at it. "It's definitely different from our tribe's shadow magic... Careful...if you touch it, you'll turn back into a beast!" She put it back somewhere. "This thing is too dangerous...It's probably for the best if we just leave it here, huh? But on the other hand ... if we kept it, you'd be able to transform into a beast anytime you wanted..." She smirked, her little pointy tooth showing. "Yes, since Zant was kind enough to give it to us, we should be thankful and use it all we can! If you need it, just call me. I want to keep a low profile, so I'll hide in your shadow when you're human, but I can change you whenever. You can be a wolf anytime you like! And maybe I'll be able to do so for (Y/N). Also thanks to this thing, you can warp yourself whenever you want by switching into a wolf form..." I quickly looked down then at Midna who approached me. She leaned against my shoulder, looking at me.

"Hey, but listen, Link...I've got a little favor to ask... Would you mind coming with me to find something called the Mirror of Twilight? It's hidden somewhere in Hyrule... Yes, the Mirror of Twilight...Our last potential link to Zant!" I smiled and nodded then asked.

"Midna? I have a feeling that (Y/N) may be in those woods. Let's head back." She nodded, smiling and got back in my shadow. I went back and jogged towards the entrance, hoping (Y/N) would be there, and if not, start to search for her.

When I neared the exit, I saw a figure with (h/l) (h/c) hair, they were carrying on their back a dark bow and a blue light were near their head.

I recognized immediately who it was and cried "(Y/N)!" She turned around and ran to me, then hugged me tightly, hiding her face in my chest. "I'm here, it's alright, everythings fine now..shh" I said sweet nothings in her ear as she sobbed on my chest. Then I heard her muttering something in it but I couldn't understand what it was. "...(Y/N)...Can you repeat, please?" I asked softly, caressing her soft hair.

She then looked up at me, tears still in her wonderful (E/C) eyes. Then she did something I always wished to do: she kissed me. It took me one second to kiss her back, wrapping my arms around her waist.

When we pulled back, it was for air. I smiled softly, seeing her own smile, putting my forehead on hers.

"I love you Link." she whispered softly.

And I replied "I love you too (Y/N)."

I gently took her hand and put the piece of (f/c) cloth that I had all the time with me in her palm.

"I-It was you who had it...Where...?" she said, looking down at her hand then up at me.

"I found it in the temple, when you got kidnapped...I think it had fallen off your pocket..." (Y/N) nodded, smiling softly and putting the cloth back in my hand.

"I give it to you, since I will not be with you everytime..." she mumbled the last part, but I heard it.

"Why?" I asked, confused.

"My quest is to help you in yours, but I'll have to go in different ways, so I won't be with you all the time."

"How do you know?"

"Navi" she pointed to the blue light, which was a fairy "told me about my quest, and also yours, which is to save Hyrule from the darkness."

I nodded slowly and smiled. "Come on, let's go, Midna asked me to help her find the 'Mirror of Twilight' and I know exactly where I can find some informations." I grinned and saw (Y/N) tilting her head to the side 'She's so cute...' I thought to myself.

"And where is it, and mostly from whom you will get this information?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"You'll see, but I don't think you'll know them..." I heard her scoff lightly then giggle.

"If we're going in Castle Town, then there's a high chance that I'll know them!" She grinned widely, giggling.

I blushed lightly and took her hand, then called Midna, asking her to warp us at the entrance of Castle Town.
I transformed and saw that (Y/N) did the same, getting the form of a black panther. Her (E/C) shone brightly. Then Midna warped us and we arrived at the bridge to get to the citadel. We ran on it then someone called me.
" ! WAAAAAAIT!". Midna transformed both of us back in our human form when a man with shorts, red hat and a sort of flag on his back.

I growled lightly "Not again..."

"It's the post man, isn't it?" she asked.

"You know him?" She nodded sharply, lightly biting her lip. I looked at her, then back at the post man.

He sighed "Greetings, ! Miss." he nodded once to (Y/N), who had a cold poker face on. 'I'll have to ask her about this...'I thought while the post man searched in his little bag to give me my letter.

"I have come to deliver a letter." He then gave me this letter.

"It is a letter from Telma." he hummed his annoying melody and saw by the corner of my eyes that (Y/N)'s face lit up when she heard the name 'Telma'. "Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!" He ran off.

I turned to (Y/N). "You know Telma?" she asked me before I could ask her about the post man. I nodded.

"Yes, I helped her to get to Kakariko village to save a zora and get Iria there too."

She nodded slowly and stopped, then looked at me, her eyes wide.

"You saw Iria?! And you didn't tell me?!" She cried, making me flinch.

"Yes, I saw her, but she lost her memory...she doesn't remember us, (Y/N), well just me, because I helped to save Zora's prince..."

She looked down, saddened.

"...Sorry...for yelling at you..." she said, still looking at the wooden floor of the bridge. I gently took her hand in mine.

"It's alright, I knew you would react like that." I softly smiled at her when I lifted her head up by her chin. "Come on, let's read that letter." I opened the folded paper.

'Link, there are some folks I want you to meet, so come to my bar right away. These guys will be powerful allies for heard me! I'll be waiting at my Castle Town bar.' It said.

I sighed lightly and put it back in my bag of letters. I looked at (Y/N), who were smiling and I grabbed her hand, starting to jog into Castle Town.

~Your POV~

I was so happy to go see Telma once again! It's been a while since I didn't see her and her friends, which I knew about. But I didn't want to spoil Link, so I didn't say anything and followed him towards the bar.

When we arrived, I stopped Link from getting in.

"(Y/N)? What are you-" I put my finger on my lips, hushing him and I winked, then smirked when I saw him blushing.

I took a deep breath then...kicked the door open, yelling "TELMA! I'm back~~!"

I heard a few gasps and saw Telma behind the counter, while her customers where looking at me, like I was a mad woman.

"(Y/N)!" she said, coming towards me, then pulling me in a bear hug.

"T-Telma...can't...breathe..." I said, my voice muffled by her cleavage, since my face was buried in it. She pulled away, smiling down at me.

"Even if it's been just two years, you've changed so much!" She then noticed Link, who was walking towards us. "Link? You know this young lady?" He nodded, gently grabbing my hand and giving it a soft squeeze.

"Yes, I know her." He looked down at me, smiling. I smiled back and let out a yawn.

"Telma? Do you have a room for us to sleep in?" I asked, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

She nodded. "Yes, I have one in the back, but it's only one bed."

"It will be perfectly fine." I answered, smiling fondly, then Telma went to the back to get the room prepared for Link and I. Then I felt a squeeze on my hand. Turning to Link, I smiled at him, then he bent down to kiss softly my lips. Then Telma came back, clearing her throat. I pulled away, blushing madly.

"I got your room prepared, follow me."

She walked us to the bedroom: it had light brown coloured walls, with a window giving a view of the field. There was a king sized bed with white cotton sheets. "There's also a bathroom attached, feel free to use it." And she closed the door, not without giving me a smirk and a wink. I turned to the window and heard the lock of the door being turned.

I turned around to see Link putting his weapons near the bed and sit down on it. Blushing, I sat down as well, pulling off my weapons and heavy layers.

"(Y/N)?" I heard Link ask.

"Yes?"

"Do you mind if I sleep with you?" he asked innocently. I turned around to look at him, my eyes wide. "A-Ah, not like this, just sleep, in the same bed!" He added quickly.

"O-Oh, n-no, I don't mind..." I said, blushing. I got up and made my way to the bathroom, where I pulled off the layers underneath the armour. Being only in a tunic and leggings, I came back inside the bedroom to go to sleep. Link was already in it, under the comforters.

Sitting down on the mattress, I slid inside, staying a bit away from Link, being extremely shy. But the bed was really cold, so, unconsciously, Link and I moved to cuddle together, to keep ourselves warm.

He was behind me, acting as the big spoon, and me the little spoon, his arms wrapped around me, and my hand on his.
We both drifted off to sleep in this really comfortable position.
