Link's PoV

We'd been sailing a while now in whatever direction the wind happened to be taking us. Since I didn't have a compass, there was no way of telling where we were going until sun-down when we could see the north star, and that was hours away… Every now and then the Princess and I would talk. Or at least try to start a conversation… And when we did manage to talk to each other, it was nothing but random nonsense or about how hungry we were.

"So…" I said after another long period of silence.

"So," She answered. "There's nothing to talk about, ho hum."

"Mm."

"How long do you think it'll be before we hit, no, even see land?"

"I don't know. Does it look like we will anytime soon?" I asked sarcastically.

"I guess you do have a point there, oh great Hero of Winds." She snickered. She smiled at me and looked behind her. Like there was anything to see over there… Facing back towards me, she sighed somewhat disappointedly and studied the boat's floor.

After about thirty more minutes of monotonous sailing, I got an idea. I turned back towards the sail and grabbed it, then stood up slightly and pushed the sail back, causing the boat to hop up into the air.

"Eeek!" Zelda, who'd been trying to sleep, screeched. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"Oh… nothing. Just something I used to do for fun." I said, smiling shyly. She sighed and looked off into the distance ahead of us. I turned to look too but there was nothing there. Like always… Maybe there was something there I wasn't seeing though. Probably not, so I simply shrugged it off.

- - -

It was probably about three o' clock p.m. when we caught a glimpse of land. Zelda suddenly stood up, pointing to something in the distance and rocking the boat.

"Li-Link, look! Land!" She burst out saying. I turned my head to see, and sure enough, there was the outline of an island. Which one, I had no idea.

"You're right. We should be there in about five minutes now." I said with dry excitement.

"Aren't you freaking excited?! We… it's… Food! Shelter!" She screamed, grabbing me by the shoulders and shaking me.

"I-I'm excited, really!"

"Well good, you should be! Thank the Goddesses… I was starting to think maybe we'd starve out here." She said, going to the front of the boat and leaning over the edge to get a closer look at the approaching island.

"Be careful, Zel…" I warned. Since when was I calling her 'Zel'?

"Fine…" She sighed, leaning back into the boat. "I just hope we get to eat soon."

"Land ho!" The Princess yelled, jumping off our little sail boat.

"Er… Zelda, we seriously don't know what kind of animals are on this island… or people, if any." I said worriedly.

"Feh, don't worry about it! And plus, does it look like I'm getting attacked by some kind of evil beastie?" Zelda retorted.

"No, not really… Bu-"

"Then shush! Let's go explore, we neeeed foooood." She whined, running off into the thick bushes that ran along the beach.
Seeing no other option, I followed her into the unknown. On the way to where ever we were going, we picked up a few vines, two big branches, four leaves and four coconuts. After getting tired from carrying around so much junk, the Princess and I found a nice spot to set up a tent. After said tent was constructed, we cracked open two of our coconuts and ate for the first time in about a day and a half.

"Wow, well that was refreshing." Zelda said, sipping the last of her coconut milk down. I nodded, drinking mine slowly. She stretched out over the leaves covering the ground and closed her eyes, smiling. While I really didn't want to be there at the moment, it could have been much worse. In fact, it would get much worse.

After a short nap, we both woke up to a strange sound. It was like humming mixed with the sound fairies make… Zelda reached down her shirt a few seconds after hearing it.

"What're you doing?!" I screamed, blushing.

"Shush!" She said, pulling out her gossip stone. Oh. She rubbed the glowing stone, causing it to glitter.

"Zelda, are you alright? Are you to the island?" the person on the other end of the stone whispered.

"Y-yes, we're on some island. And we're fine. Sheik, where are you? Who are you?" Zelda asked. I could hear and feel the fear in her voice.

"All in due time, my Princess. All in due time." And with that, the voice cut off. We both started at the stone as its glow faded away. Zelda slipped it back on as a necklace again and looked towards me; her eyes were big and filled with fear.

"Link… What do you think is going to happen to us?" she asked.

"I don't know, but whatever happens… well, we'll have each other, right?" I replied.

"You're right." She said, scooting closer to me. She wrapped her arms around me in a hug. I let out a tiny gasp and felt myself blush again. I really had to stop doing that…

"Link, I'm really sorry," Zelda murmured with in face buried in my shoulder. "I-I… I didn't mean to put you through all this. I'll find a way to make it up to you one day, I promise. I'm so sorry. I didn't think… that this would happen." She sniffed.

"It's ok, Zel. I'd rather be stuck on this island with you in the middle of nowhere then be off on some quest all alone." I smiled. She lifted her head and smiled back.

"You're my best friend," she said quietly. "Because you know, when I was at the castle, I was so lonely. All I had to look forward to was seeing you again every now and then."

"I thought there were maids and-"

"Had you ever seen any maids or… or… butlers anywhere? No? Neither did I. It was all done by magic. And you know… magic can't…" She stopped, sighing and turning away.

"Magic can't love you," I finished. "It can't and never will love you. Not like I do at least…" I confessed to her. What was the point of keeping it hidden anymore?

"I… you do?" she said, turning back. Her eyes were filled with tears. She looked so fragile, so beautiful.

"I do…" I said, reaching to hug her.

"Well, I love you too, y-you know!" she said. I laughed a little and we both calmed down. We lay there, not caring what could happen or what would happen. After all, who cares when you've got lurve?

Eeek! 1000+ words! Yey. Well, how'd you like it? Ugh, it was kinda UBER-SWEET-MARSHMALLOW-FLUFFY towards the end. But I'm trying not to make it too "We're trapped on an island, OMFG. SURVIVOR'D." Hopefully I didn't D: Well yeah, sorry this one took so long-ish. (Is two-three days long when you're updating daily? XD) Well yeah so… Hope you liked it. Revieeeww if you did!
Link's PoV FTW. Yey. Bai baaaai
