Hey guys, I just wanted to explain how this story will go. Before Link discovers his destiny which will be later on, the story will just revolve around Link's life in high school. There will be romantic moments with Zelda, too. I just felt like I should clarify this. In this chapter, Link will do some unintentional bonding with Zelda.

Guest: Thank you for reviewing. I will include more Zelda characters later on.

So let the story begin.


(Link's House)

Link was eating dinner with his family. Link's father couldn't help but notice the smile and faint blush on Link's face.

"Hey Link, what's up? Why you smilin'?" Link's father asked.

"Hm? Oh. It's nothing." Link responded trying dismiss the question.

"Link got kissed by a girl." Linkle said as Link's faint blush became visible.

"What?! Uh, what are you talking about?" Link asked trying to sound as if he didn't know what Linkle was talking about.

"Don't play dumb with me! I saw her kiss you on the cheek!" Linkle shouted with a devious smile.

"Oooo, Link has a girlfriend." Aryll teased. Link's face became as red as the sun.

"Shut up, Aryll! She's not my girlfriend!" Link argued.

"But you like her don't you?" Aryll asked curiously.

"Well-" Link started but Linkle interrupted.

"HA! You do like her!" Linkle laughed.

"What the heck?! I didn't even say anything yet!" Link shouted trying to keep his composure.

"The look on your face says it all!" Aryll said.

"Enough!" Their mother shouted which caused the siblings to stop arguing and go back to their eating.

"Hey, Link." Linkle whispered to her brother.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Can you come with me and Aryll on Saturday?"

"Why?"

"Because we're going shopping and we need somebody to help carry our bags."

"Ugh, fine." Link replied annoyed.


(Saturday, Shopping District)

Linkle and Aryll were in a Macy's store looking at a bunch of new shoes. Linkle was wearing a blue T-shirt, black jeans, and converses. Aryll was wearing a purple shirt, blue jeans, and red shoes.

"I like these, but I don't know if I should get them." Aryll said doubtfully as she looked at a pair of black boots.

"I'll ask Link. Hey Link what do you-" Linkle then noticed that Link was nowhere to be seen.

"Uh, Aryll?" Linkle said while tapping her sister's shoulders.

"Yeah Linkle?" Aryll said turning to face her sister.

"Link ditched us!"


(With Link)

Link was walking around the shopping district looking at all the shops. He was wearing a blue shirt with a white crawfish on it, orange pants, and black sneakers. He was also still wearing his eye patch because his black eye still had not fully healed. He left his sisters mostly because he didn't want to carry bags the whole day, considering he had to go to work tomorrow. Link stopped in front of a Panera Bread.

'Might as well go grab something to eat,' Link thought to himself as he entered the restaurant. He got himself some pasta, sat down, and started eating. A few minutes later Link felt someone tap his back. Link turned to the face the person and it was Zelda. She was wearing a light green sweater, black pants, and red converses. She also had a pink hairband in her hair.

"Hi Zelda." He said happily. Zelda giggled at this.

"Hey Link. Mind if I sit here?" She asked and pointed to the empty seat cross from Link. Link nodded. So she sat down.

"So Link, what are you doing here?" Zelda asked with a curious smile.

"I was here with my sisters, but I left them." Link said as he ate some pasta.

"Why did you leave them?" Zelda asked while tilting her head in confusion.

"Because they would have made me carry their stuff for them and I do not want to be tired tomorrow 'cause I have work tomorrow." Link said as he finished his pasta.

"Hey Link? Zelda asked.

"Yeah?"

"Ya wanna see something?" Zelda asked with a smile. Link nodded in response and Zelda grabbed his arm.

"Then follow me." Zelda pulled him out of his chair and out of the restaurant.


(Castletown Central Park)

Zelda pulled Link into the park and at the same time was covering his eyes with her hand. Well. Actually she was only covering one eye 'cause of the fact that the other eye was covered by Link's eye patch.

"Zelda, where in Farore's name are we going?" Link asked.

"We're almost there." Link rolled his eyes but Zelda couldn't see that because of the fact that his eyes were covered. After a few more minutes of walking they finally stopped.

"Okay. We're here." Zelda said as she removed her hand from Link's eye and Link's jaw dropped. Zelda had brought Link to a field in the park full of colorful flowers.

"Wow." Link said at a loss for words.

"Yeah, I know. They're really pretty." Zelda said with a smile. Link knelt down and picked a light green colored flower.

"This is a Deku Orchid. They only grow in the Faron Province. What are they doing here?" Link asked as he looked at the flower.

"Believe it or not, in Castletown, flowers from every one of the provinces grow here." Zelda answered. Link stood up and looked at the field of flowers again.

"Nature sure is strange." Link said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Yeah it is." Zelda responded. Link then noticed some grass that was strangely shaped like a soaring bird.

"Hawk grass!" Link said as he picked up the grass and blew into it. A little song played as he blew into it. After he was done blowing on the grass he held his arm out.

"Link what-" Before Zelda could even finish asking, a hawk flew down and perched itself on Link's arm.

"H-H-How did you do that?!" Zelda asked astonishingly to which Link just smiled.

"It was the hawk grass. When I blew into it, it called the hawk here." Link explained as the hawk flew away and Link put his arm down.

"Where did you learn how to do that?" Zelda asked as she watched the hawk fly away.

"I learned it from my Uncle Link." Link said proudly.

"Uncle Link?" Zelda questioned.

"Yes I said 'Uncle Link' and he I share the same name." Link answered.

"Oh, I see. Do you miss him?" Zelda asked.

"What do mean?" Link asked with confusion in his voice.

"I mean do you miss him since you left the Faron Province and left him behind." Zelda clarified. Link chuckled a little.

"You got the wrong idea Zelda. I didn't leave my Uncle Link behind because he lives right here in Castletown." Link said a big and cheery smile.

"Oh." Zelda said. An awkward silence passed by before Zelda spoke.

"Well, I better get going." Zelda said as she started to walk away.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Link asked which made Zelda stop and turn to face Link.

"I have to go get some flowers and candles." Zelda said shyly.

"Why don't you pick some flowers here?" Link questioned.

"Because people aren't allowed to pick flowers from here." Zelda pointed to a sign that said No picking flowers.

"What do you need flowers and candles for anyway?" Link asked tilting his head in confusion.

"There's something I have to do." That was all Zelda said. Link smiled.

"Well I know a place where we can get flowers and candles. Follow me!" Link said as he grabbed Zelda's hand and pulled her away.

(Shopping District)

"Link, where are we going?" Zelda asked as Link kept pulling Zelda along.

"Can't tell you where we're going." Link said with a mischievous smile. They walked for a few more minutes until Link stopped.

"Okay! We're here!" Link said as Zelda examined the shop they stopped in front of. It was called Ordon Candles and Flowers. Link then pulled Zelda into the shop and as he opened the door, a bell rung. A blonde haired Hylian lady who looked to be in her late 20s was behind the front counter. She was wearing a pink shirt, a long black skirt, and black flat shoes.

"Welcome! How may I-" The lady got one look at Link and stopped talking. She smiled from ear to ear.

"Well, if it isn't Young Link!" Link's cheerful smile faltered and it was replaced wih a look of embarrassment and he blushed furiously. Zelda covered her mouth to try and stifle her laughter but it was still audible.

"Aunt Tetra, please don't refer to me as that." Link said embarrassed.

"I'm sorry honey. So how can I help you?" Tetra asked with a big smile across her face. Link snapped out of his embarrassment and looked at his aunt with a serious face

"My friend here needs some candles and flowers for something." Link said while gesturing towards Zelda.

"Well for flowers, I recommend those roses over there." Tetra pointed to the bright red roses on the nearby shelf. "As for candles, well, what kind do you want?" Tetra asked Zelda.

"Well, I was hoping for some apple scented candles." Zelda answered shyly.

"Great! Let me go get some." Tetra said as she walked opened a door and entered another room. Zelda went over to the shelf with the roses and picked up one of the bouquets and then walked back to Link.

"So what's with the whole 'Young Link'?" Zelda asked which made Link turn pink.

"It's just something my family calls me. It's to avoid confusion between me and my Uncle Link." Link said as he smiled and scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Just then Tetra returned from the other room and with her a blonde man who looked to be a little older than her and he looked like an older and more mature version of Link. He was wearing a green shirt, brown pants, brown boots, and a green Phrygian cap. And he was Hylian, too. He was also carrying two candles.

"Well well well, if it isn't little Link." He said proudly. Link smiled sheepishly.

"Hi Uncle Link." Link greeted. Zelda's eyes popped open wide with wonder.

'This is his uncle?! He looks like the future version of Link!' Zelda thought taken aback.

"Well, here are the candles you requested." Uncle Link spoke while handing the two candles.

"How much do I owe you?" Link asked.

"Aw, don't worry about it. Since you're family it's on the house." Uncle Link spoke with enthusiasm to which Link just smiled.

"Thanks Uncle Link. See ya this Christmas!" Link shouted as he and Zelda left the shop.

"So who do you think that girl was?" Uncle Link asked his wife.

"I don't know. Probably a friend of his." Tetra said as she shrugged her shoulders.

(With Link and Zelda)

Link and Zelda continued walking, carrying the stuff they had gotten from the Link's aunt and uncle's shop, for about half an hour until Zelda finally stopped.

"We're here." Zelda said. Link looked around at where they had stopped. They were at a cemetery.

"Why did Zelda want to come here?' Link wondered as he and Zelda proceeded into the graveyard. They eventually stopped in front of somebody's grave. Link read the grave and it said:

Here lies Grace Harkinian

The best wife and a great mother

May she rest in peace

Link let out a gasp of realization. Zelda had come to the cemetery to visit her deceased mother. Zelda placed the bouquet of roses in front of her mother's grave.

"May I have the candles, Link?" Link handed her the candles and she placed them alongside the bouquet. She pulled a lighter from her pocket and lit the candles. She then knelt down.

"Hi mom. Just came to say hi and tell you I'm doing well. I hope you really are in a better place." Zelda said as a tear streamed down her cheek. Link looked at her sympathetically as he felt like he was going to cry.

"Um, Zelda? I'm sorry." Link said which caused Zelda to stand up and face him.

"Why are you sorry?" Zelda asked.

"Because I tagged along on your visit to your mother." Link said guiltily.

"Don't be sorry. You were just trying to help." Zelda said reassuringly.

"Although, I do have one question." Zelda said as she got closer to Link. Link blushed as she got really close.

"Why did you want to help me in the first place?" Zelda asked as she tilted her head cutely.

"Um...because...you're my...friend and...I just...wanted to." Link stuttered.

"Still doesn't answer my question." Zelda said skeptically.

"And also...I...like...you." Link whispered hoping Zelda would not hear him. Zelda blushed profusely.

"You...like me?" She asked. Link turned even more red.

'Crap! I didn't mean for her to hear me!' Link as Zelda got closer. She placed her hand on Link's cheek and Link blushed even more.

"Link...you're just...too nice." Zelda said as she leaned in and placed her lips on Link's. Link went wide eyed for a minute, but then he just closed his eyes and melted into the kiss. After a minute they parted, their faces were both blushed red. They both walked out of the cemetery.

"Hey Zelda." Link said out of nowhere.

"Yeah?" Zelda asked still rosy red.

"If it's alright with you, I like to get together and study. I promise this time I won't get myself beat up again." Link joked which caused Zelda to giggle a little.

"That sounds great. But how about this time, you meet me at my house." Zelda said to which Link nodded in agreement. Then they both went their separate ways.


(Link's House)

Link was holding his hand to his lips as he was walking home. He still felt Zelda's lips on his own. He walked up to the front door of his house, unlocked the door, and entered.

""LINK YOU BASTARD!"" Link was soon met with his two sisters hitting him over the head. Link held his head in pain because his sisters hit him really hard.

"OW! What the hell was that for?!" Link shouted angrily.

""That's what you get for ditching us!"" Aryll and Linkle shouted in unison. Then they left Link holding his head in pain.


Yes! It's finally done. And before you ask, I had fully intended for Link and Zelda to have their for first kiss. If you feel like I'm rushing this, well let me tell you this. Relationships progress in different ways and this is how Link and Zelda's relationship will progress. Also, just to clarify, Link and Zelda are based off there appearances from A Link Between Worlds. So if you had trouble picturing what Link and Zelda looked like,now you know. Remember to write and review. No negative comments, I'm doing my best! So until the next chapter, See Ya! :P
