Chapter 4: Wedding Day
Link was pacing back and forth. The wedding started in 10 minutes and Link was giving a whole new meaning to the word "nervous." Link took one last look in the mirror. He looked like his normal self. He wore a tunic and a cap. Only the difference was, it was white. It was tradition for men to wear the white tunic, but since Link was the Hero, he wore the cap as well since it was the Hero's tradition. Tradition also called for the sword, a part in the wedding required of it. But since Link was Her, he used the Master Sword. And of course, he had the shield he made upon his back. Orca called from outside, telling him it was time. He walked outside to see people starting to sit at the tables. He walked to the 'stage' and stood there, half turned to the audience. He put his hands behind his back and looked into the crowd. Many people from the other islands had arrived. He saw many Ritos there, including the Chieftain and the ever growing Komali. Link smiled as he saw Komali sitting really close to Medli. 'Man, aren't they a couple yet?' he thought. He also saw the Koroks sitting in the front so they could see. They all, including Makar, had been asked to play afterwards. In respect to the sages, Medli would join them. And courtesy of Link, the Rangers came for the wedding. In fact, since Joseph was the leader of Tetra's guard, and a close friend of Links, they asked him to do the honors of blessing them. Soon the crowd grew quiet. Link looked up to see Aryll walking down the isle tossing flower petals everywhere. Then Tetra walked into view. The nervous feeling returned. 'No. I've waited to long to back down. Besides, I know we love each other. This will only prove it.' Tetra walked down the isle with, which Link still couldn't believe it, Linebeck as an escort. After Linebeck brought Tetra to the stage, he backed away to join his wife, Jolenne. Link and Tetra looked at each other and smiled before they turned to Joseph. Joseph began the wedding rituals. Then the final part began. Link took out the family shield and repeated after Joseph, "Do you Tetra, promise to take up the family name and forever take up the responsibility to help me take up the role of husband?"
"I do." Link then gave Tetra the family shield who in turn, put it on her back, signifying acceptance. Link then drew the Master Sword, got down on one knee and stabbed the ground, and looked up at Tetra. Tetra then repeated after Joseph, "Do you, Link, promise to take me as your wife, to protect and help until the end?"
"I do."
Link stood up and sheathed the sword at his side. Joseph said, "Now bring forth the shield Link." Link took it off his back, then Link and Tetra each took a handle Link installed just for the wedding. The outside faced the audience and many were impressed by Link's craftsmanship. Joseph continued, "By the power of Din, Nayru, and Farore, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Link, you may kiss the bride." And so he did. After they parted, a shower of flowers rained down on them. Link looked at Tetra. She had let her hair down, just they way he liked it. A few stray flowers had landed in her hair which made her look even more beautiful. But she just laughed at him. Link looked at her curiously and she pointed behind her ear. Link felt his and pulled out a flower. He laughed to and then put it behind her ear. She smiled and grabbed his two shoulders and pulled him into another kiss. Tetra took Link's arm and they walked down the aisle. The wedding cake was at the end and it was time to start the celebration. Tetra cut a piece and planned to smother Link. But Link had other ideas. He just so happened to have a slice as well. Tetra would always remember that. But she would say, "At least the kiss afterwards was sweeter than usual." Orca had set up a special surprise for the newlyweds. A ring was made and Link stood on one side while Tetra was on the other.
Link asked, "Uh, Orca? What is going on?"
Orca simply tossed a long wooden pole to him. Link had the worst look on his face. He knew what was coming he looked at Tetra who had a smirk on her face. 'If that's how she wants it.' She came quickly at him, but he blocked with ease. They were going back and forth but Link was not even trying, after all, he did make the promise in the wedding and he was going to keep it even to his death. It went on for a while before Link had to let Tetra win. She tripped him up and he fell.
Orca yelled, "Come on Link! What was that?!"
"No Orca. Link let me win. Besides, it was getting kind of tiring."
Link got up. "Yeah, besides, I'm not able to hit Tetra anymore."
Tetra went and hugged Link. The res of the evening went on without a hitch. Most of the visitors left already, so Link and Tetra had some time alone. Link took her up the mountain, across the bridge, to the woods. Link said, "Over the last few months, I have been coming up here a lot of the time."
"Why?"
"I came to this spot where we met 10 years ago. It gave me inspiration. Reminded me of why I was here." He turned to Tetra. "You help me strive forward. That's why I decided to marry you. And that's why we're here. Right now."
"Link." She cuddled into his chest. And they just sat there. Two newlyweds, not sure what the future will bring. Link looked up at the sky. It was completely clear. Never had he seen as many stars as before. "Tetra look." She looked up. Every part of the sky seemed to have hundreds of stars. She sighed and leaned backwards into Link. But Link was not looking at the stars. He was looking at the full moon. After awhile Tetra got up, "Link, I'm going back to the house. It's been a long and very eventful day."
"Alright."
She kissed him once more and began to walk off. "Oh! And by the way Link, don't act surprised when you find me in your bed. Heehee!" Link chuckled and nodded. She walked off leaving Link to look back at the sky. Tetra finally got back inside. Grandma was already asleep in her bed. Aryll was dozing off and went to bed. Tetra looked around in what was now officially her home. She smiled at the thought that she was with Link forever now. She took her shoes off and climbed the ladder to the bed. This was one thing she would have to get used to: sleeping in bed with Link. She just got into the bed and slowly went to sleep. Before she went into sleep, she could have sworn she heard a howl in the distance. 'Oh well' she thought. She knew that soon, it would be time to set off to find New Hyrule again. Only this time, they would have a new permanent crew member aboard.
