This is my third chapter in my first ever Fanfiction. Again, please review and give me advice on how to improve my writing.

I do not own Zelda, it is rightfully owned by Nintendo.

CHAPTER 3; MELODY

"Father!" Zelda said loudly, as she gracefully skipped into the King's throne room.

"Hm.. M'yes, what is it, dear?" "I have a favor to ask you, and I would really really appreciate if you did it for me."

"And what might that be?", the King responded.

"There is.... A very special friend who needs a home, so I was wondering if you could get him a room here in this castle. Please father, he is a very brave warrior and deserves it!"

"And who is this 'hero'?"

"It is Link, the one who rescued me and has done countless other good deeds."

"Link? That name sounds familiar. Why, of course he can have a room here," the King answered.

Zelda's eyes sparkled, as she ran off happily to the corridor where Link was waiting. "He said you can live here in the castle!"

Link was overfilled with joy. "Really? Was it that easy?!?"

"Yeah!" Zelda replied excitedly as she gave him a third hug.

As Link's room was being prepared, Zelda lead Link into her private courtyard. Her courtyard looked like it had years ago, only now there was a new fountain, and a miniature shack-like structure. Zelda and Link talked to each other; They reminisced their adventures in the past, and talked about what had happened since then. Zelda asked Link if he still had an Ocarina.

"Yeah, I made this one." He showed her his ocarina, which was a dragon made of clay painted red. On the dragon were little pictures of his adventures. It showed him meeting Zelda for the first time, beating the different Temples, and countless other parts of his adventures, including him saying goodbye to Zelda.

"Link.... It's beautiful. I didn't know you were that good of an artist. Where did you learn that?"

"Well when you're me, you've got a lot of spare time, you know."

She held his ocarina and looked at it closer. "May I play it?", she asked.

"Of course."

Zelda began to play Link's handmade dragon ocarina. It had 16 notes, with the holes in rows of four. The first three rows were different keys, and the final row had the bass notes. She messed around with it a bit, then began to play Zelda's lullaby. Each note reminded her of something different; one reminded her of the ocean, another of war, another of a forest, another of night, etc. etc.

Once she finished playing, she looked at Link in amazement and gave him his ocarina back. Zelda asked Link if he wanted to play something with her. He agreed, and Zelda took out her harp.

Together they played a beautiful duet of many songs, including the Serenade of Water, and they also began to write their own song. After a few more hours in Zelda's courtyard, a guard came out and told them that Link's room was ready.
