Her

I wake up in panic. Seeing Zelda fall to her death had me stunned. If I cant save Zelda in a nightmare, what good would I do for her in real life? I shake it off my mind as I remember that today is the day of the ball, the day where I get the chance to see Zelda up close, and maybe even talk to her...but would she want to see me again? I choose not to put doubt in my mind, but after hearing that she is getting married to some guy of royalty, my confidence in seeing her is low. I go downstairs to kill some time, since the ball doesn't start until dusk.

I leave my cloak in my room, realizing that Zelda most likely didn't tell her people what I looked like, also what would be the point of going to her ball if she can't see me? As I go downstairs, I find a spot in the corner to go think to myself. I close my eyes as I start to think of everything. Ranging from how she would react to see me again to if she would throw me out to how I would approach her to would she even notice that I'm there. I think for hours about everything on my mind, to mentally prepare myself for the best outcome...or the worse.

I continue to think until a mysterious old man comes up and sits across from me. He starts telling me that I've been sitting here for hours with my eyes closed. I give a slight chuckle and tell him that I just have a lot on my mind. He then tells me that its not how many things are on my mind, but how many things are on my mind about the same thing. I give him a slightly shocked expression and ask him how he knew that. He laughs as he explains to me that when he was my age, he was the same way and that no man at my age has enough things happening in their life for them to have many things on their mind to worry about. I tell him that he's exactly right and that I like a girl that I barely know, but I think about her all the time, but she's seeing someone else, and that I don't know what to do. He says three simple words "Follow your heart," and he starts to get up and walk away, leaving me in a state of confusion.

I start walking out the Inn to the ball, while I try to figure out what he means by those words. I end up in a crowd of people going to the ball and decide to follow them since I had no idea where the ball was anyways.

As I walk into the ballroom, I notice that its packed with at least a hundred people, with amazing designs on the wall. I move farther into the ballroom while people start chatting until the Princess and her fiancé enter he ballroom. An hour passes until they show up. They start to walk through the grand doors, between the crowd, with their arms linked together, which makes me slightly jealous.

The first thing I notice when I get a good view of Zelda is how flawless she is. Her dress even more stunning than before, her blue eyes shining like stars, and her brown hair glowing as she walks. They walk to the middle of the ballroom and start to dance. After a couple seconds, more and more people started to join in. I lean on a wall as I watch her dance. She dances perfectly, never missing a step, and always on point with her fiancé. After a couple minutes she went to go sit down and I start to move closer, but every time she would sit down, she world be asked a someone to dance over and over again. Even after so many dances she still danced perfectly never breaking a sweat. After what seemed like hours, she started to look weary of dancing. I start to make my move, getting closer and closer to her, and as I'm about to reach our for her, her fiancé grabbed to her hand to start dancing again.

At that point I gave up, realizing how I lost my chance when I went back to Ordon Village 6 months ago, and how she would be happier with him anyways since she didn't even notice I was there.

As I have my hand on the door leading to outside, I look behind to see her staring me right in the eyes, as I stare back into hers, I see her in shock to see me. I give her a slight nod, telling her that I never forgot. She starts to run towards me, yelling "Link," but I'm already gone, thinking that it's too late to confront her. I watch her from the rooftops, as she goes onto the street looking around and yelling my name. I watch her until she's collapses onto her knees, starting to cry. It was at that moment where I realized I made a mistake, and tried to climb down to her as fast as I could, but I was too late, as she went back inside.

I tried to get back in, screaming Zelda's name, but to no avail.

See? I told you that you would get a longer chapter. I feel like I accomplished a lot in this chapter and I'm actually not sure what to do next with the story. Should I end it here or keep going? Also just to make it clear, even though I don't know what to do next with the story, doesn't mean I cant figure it out. I'm sure that if I continue, I can do much more with the story. Thanks for reading and I hoped that you enjoyed.
