Later that afternoon, when Link and Zelda felt content with their decisions about the Hylian life in front of them, they called their Loftwings and took to the sky. This time, it was Link who was leading, and he was heading back towards the main sky, out of Thunderhead. When Zelda started to really wonder where they were going, Link and his Loftwing made a nosedive towards one of the smaller islands of the sky. Curious, Zelda was quick to follow. Little did Zelda know, but Link wasn't headed for the island; and when he straightened out suddenly, she was confused with their destination, but when Link gestured for her to jump down to him, she did, and soon, he was jumping too, and that's when she realized that they were diving right into a green column of light.
Having made a rough landing, Link felt kind of bad when Zelda showed him a new cut on her leg. He told her that the landings were usually softer, and apologized before bringing her out towards the Great Tree. They had landed in a clearing right next to it; the clearing that Zelda had first encountered the Kikwi elder, Bucha. Zelda smiled knowing that such kind and gentle creatures were so nearby. Link showed her the area in front of the viewing platform and the Great Tree that he had in mind for the encampment. Facing the Great Tree, Link started pointing out the areas where the different things would go. And when he pointed to the right, and the area around the corner, Link told her that he wanted to live there. He started to tell her about a new academy they would build, where everyone in the academy lived now would have their own room and space, but also how close she'd be to him.
"Then when we both grow a little older…" Link put his hand through his hair again, hoping that she'd be able to finish the sentence.
"…We can make a house together, right over there." Zelda pointed out to the hillside in front of Lake Floria. "I want to live there." Link stopped in thought, as he considered what life would be like, living on the hilltop, at the edge of their village, overlooking both the forest and the lake. It could be a good life. Link hummed in agreement, and grabbed Zelda's hand. He took her over to the hillside, and showed her the diving bridge, the little spring below them, and he told her that they'd have to make a bridge, instead of a vine, to get across the little cliff.
"But I like the vine," she laughed, "I can watch our kids_" she stopped herself there. "I mean, yeah, bridge sounds good." She blushed and continued walking around the area.
"Kids?"
"Well, I don't really think they're in the near future… but some day." Zelda put on her innocent face, and looked at him with a "That wasn't supposed to come out" expression.
"Well, yeah, one day. One day, I'm sure we'll be sitting on the porch, watching our kids play hide and seek with the Kikwis."
"So I'm not crazy for thinking about kids?"
"Oh, you're definitely crazy." Link flirtatiously stood beside her, and grabbed her hands, "But that doesn't matter; because I'm crazy for you."
He stroked her cheek, and leaned in towards her. He had trekked across forests, mountains, rivers of lava, deserts, temples, ruins, traveled through time for this moment; and what a perfect moment it was. He kissed her, softly and gently, just letting his emotions get to her through their lips. Her arms went around his neck and his arms went around her waist, while his hands protectively rested on her back. It was one of those perfect, storybook moments that people waited for their entire lives, and he was sharing it with her, in the blissful woods, where they'd spend the rest of their lives.
After a few moments of bliss, they withdrew from the kiss. Zelda blushed, while Link tried to pretend that his shirt had become crooked. A couple awkward giggles and sighs later, they took each others hands, and continued to explore their future home.
