Here's another one! The juices are flowing for this story! This one's all about Young Link. He doesn't really feel at home with Christmas, and Zelda's being motherly and trying to help him out.

Young Link stared out the window, chin on one hand, looking at the snow. Nana, Popo, and the youngest of the Priestesses and Bards played in the snow. They built snow-sculptures, they made angels.

He wondered what it was like to celebrate Christmas with your friends like they did. He didn't really understand Christmas, and he'd never had a proper one before. He'd always watched from a distance, embarrassed by his lack of knowledge about it, or any holiday, really. The Kokiri had never celebrated the holidays the others did. He sighed, remembering a song from a play the Sanctuary kids had put on.

"I'm wishing on a star
and trying to believe
that even though it's far
he'll find me Christmas Eve."

Zelda stopped in the hallway. The song was familiar, and so was the voice. She stood in the doorway as Young Link continued.

"I guess that Santa's busy
cause he's never come around.
I think of him
when Christmas comes to town."

She walked into his room. "Hi," she said.

Young Link turned quickly, then sighed. "Oh," he said. "Hi Zelda."

Zelda smiled at him. "What's the matter?"

Young Link shrugged. "I've... never had a real Christmas. I don't get it."

"Oh, yeah," Zelda said. "the Kokiri never celebrated Christmas, did they?"

Young Link shook his head.

"No one did," Zelda said. "Hyrule doesn't, as a general rule. But there's a Christmas now. Why don't you go play with the others?" She smiled. Also having seen the play, she sang the next part.

"The best time of the year!
When everyone comes home.
With all this Christmas cheer,
it's hard to be alone.

"Putting up the Christmas tree
with friends who come around.
It's so much fun
when Christmas comes to town!

"Presents for the children,
wrapped in red and green!"

Young Link looked sadly at her, added,

"All the things I've heard about
but never really seen."

"I'm embarrassed at the things I don't know," he said. "And... it's all so confusing."

"That's true," Zelda said. "Other customs can be confusing. But you're isolating yourself from learning anything up here." She continued the song, hugging Young Link. He sang along, still feeling unsure.

"No one will be sleeping on
the night of Christmas Eve
hoping Santa's on his way!

"When Santa's sleigh bells ring,"

"I listen all around."

"The herald angels sing!"

"I never hear a sound."

"When all the dreams of children,
once lost will all be found.
That's all I want
when Christmas comes to town."

"Give Christmas a chance," Zelda coaxed. "Why don't you go downstairs? Ness could probably use some help with that tree. And I bet he'd be happy to explain to you anything you don't understand. At least give it a try."

Young Link smiled, letting go of Zelda. "Okay," he said, letting her lead him out onto the stairs. "I'll come."

Ness looked up at them, away from an ornament suspended in the air halfway up a tree. "Link!" he called. "Come help me out! My fine control could use a lot of work... these ornaments keep falling off!"

"Coming!" Young Link called. As he ran downstairs to his friend, he heard Zelda start the last line of the song. He sang it with her.

"That's all I want
when Christmas comes to town."

^^ Thankies! Short and kinda crappy, but I needed to express the cuteness of that song, that moment, and Young Link in general.
