White
It was about halfway during the tournament when Zelda started receiving the roses. They were a pretty, pure white, and she honestly really liked them. It was nice that someone would be so kind enough to give her such precious blooms every morning, one by one.
Some of the Smashers made up theories of why this could be happening. Some were as follows:
"YOU HAVE A SECRET ADMIRER, DON'T YOU!?"
"Um...maybe someone walks by your door with a basket of white roses and keeps dropping one by your door by accident."
"There's a white rose patch underneath the space just outside your bedroom door, and they grow through the carpet during the night!"
Zelda was wondering where all these white roses kept coming from, and why they kept appearing at her bedroom door first thing in the morning. Little did she know that a certain swordsman was the one behind this, until he told her approximately thirty five roses later.
Link admitted to Zelda that he liked her, he didn't know how else to express his feelings, so he figured offering her a simple rose would be nice. He couldn't really afford anything expensive, like necklaces and bracelets and other sorts of jewelry, so he had to do with what he had.
"You have to thank Peach for showing me how to take care of them." Link ended his explanation. "It was her idea."
With that, he offered the princess another white rose, and Zelda gratefully accepted it.
