Her

Everyone has a sad or angry expression on their face, it smells like their is a dead corpse laying around Castle Town, people are getting into fist fights, the buildings look like they haven't seen a sunny day for years, and I feel like I'm in a prison. How could this have happened in 3 months? I though the whole point of Zelda getting married was to make Hyrule a better place, not have its fields deserted and Castle Town in ruins.

I see a riot starting and I find a place to watch from a distance to see what its about. Hundreds of civilians stand at the castle gate, throwing stones and rotten foods at the guards trying to keep them under control. They start attacking the guards and multiple fights break out between the two sides. They start to overwhelm the guards, throwing all of them to the ground and stomping on them, but then the tides start to turn. The guards patrolling the roof fire a volley of arrows into the crowd, killing multiple people.

The civilians start to get slaughtered. The guards wouldn't kill a civilian, even if they are rioting. So why do they do it now? Zelda would never allow anything like this. I use the riot as cover to get to Zelda. I climb up to the rooftops on the other side of the castle and begin trying to find Zelda's room. I climb to every window that is reachable and not being watched by the guards, until I only have one window left.

I have my doubts but I scan the rooftops, trying to see if there is a route to it. Once I figure out where to climb, I begin to make my way up there.

I awake to be laying in my bed. I look around just to make sure that I'm not in a dream...or dead. The last thing I remember was laying on the ground being choked to death by that monster. I wish he would have killed me. I have nothing to live for anyways. I have no control, over my people anymore, I'm trapped inside the castle, I'm beat every time I'm in the same room with my husband, but more importantly, Link is gone.

The one person that made me happy in life left me 3 months ago, and he's never coming back. I start to cry in my bed until I hear a sudden tap on the window. I look over to see...him. I look in shock for 5 seconds until another tap on the window brings me back to reality.

I unlock the window to let him in, stepping back to give him room. He climbs in and leaves the window open. He looks at me as I start to move towards him. I give him a look of anger as I walk closer to him. He starts to look a little frightened as he starts to slowly back away from me. I push him up against the wall as I smack him and then kiss him. He kisses me back passionately holding me closer to him.

We break off our kiss as I slowly take myself off of him and look him in the eyes. "That hurt by the way." He says, rubbing his cheek. "I smacked you because I thought you were never coming back, I thought that you left me forever." I say with tears in my eyes. Link pulls me into a hug as he whispers, " I would always comeback for you. I would never leave you forever. Zelda I..I..I cant live without you."

I hug him closer as I say "Link its been like hell living here without you." We finally let go as he asks me "What do you mean its been like hell? Aren't you the queen?" I look down as I begin to tell him "The second I married that...monster, he went power crazy and he made Hyrule worse, not better. I haven't been allowed to leave the castle since the day you left, and he...he." I couldn't bring myself to tell Link the last part, knowing that Link will be heart broken and furious. Link lifts my chin up to look him in the eyes asking me "what did he do Zelda?" I see the worry in his eyes as I say in tears "he...he would throw me to the ground and hit me." Link backs away from me as he quietly says "he's dead," beginning to walk towards the door while reaching for his sword.

I try to talk sense into him before he runs into the castle, surely to get killed by the number of guards. He finally snaps out of it when I smack him across the face again. He looks at me with a sad expression as he rubs his face again. "Will you quit that." He says. "Link, I'm sorry, but there's too many guards even for you to handle." I explain. "Fine," he says, "but I'm still getting you out of here." "Not right now, its too risky." I say. "Zelda I wont let you sit here and rot." he tells me.

"I will come back for you at night," he explains, "be in your room when I arrive. I don't want to go looking for you when I'm here." "What about the guards?" I ask. "Don't worry about them, I'll figure something out." He assures me.

We start to hear someone coming closer on the other side of the door and I see Link starting to head towards the window. "Wait!" I quietly say. He turns around to look at me an I pull him in for a kiss before he leaves. It doesn't last long and we start to pull away from each other. We look at each other for another second before he turns and jumps out the window. I quickly shut the window and lay down on my bed, pretending that I'm asleep.
