After Link had finally defeated Ganondorf and saved Zelda, it was time for them to say goodbye as Zelda had decided to send Link back into his original time. "Thank you, Link... Thanks to you, Ganondorf has been sealed inside the Evil Realm! Thus, peace will once again reign in this world... for a time. All the tragedy that has befallen Hyrule was my doing... I was so young... I could not comprehend the consequences of trying to control the Sacred Realm. I dragged you into it, too. Now it is time for me to make up for my mistakes... you must lay the Master Sword to rest and close the Door of Time... however, by doing this, the road between times will be closed... Link, give the Ocarina to me... as a Sage, I can return you to your original time with it." said Zelda as Link gave The Ocarina Of Time to her. She then touched his left cheek with her right hand as she kissed him, to which he kissed her back. "Now, go home, Link! Regain your lost time! Home... Where you are supposed to be...the way you are supposed to be..." said Zelda as she played her lullaby as she sent Link back to his original time. With tears in her eyes, she finally said: "Thank you... Link... I Love You... good-bye..."
7 years earlier...
Link had finally been sent back into the present as a child. After his faithful fairy companion, Navi left him, he decided to go and see Zelda. After he entered the courtyard, he finally saw Zelda. "Zelda... I'm back." said Link as Zelda turned around and saw him standing there in her courtyard. "Link! It's you!" cried Zelda as she ran to hug him and as they sat together in the grass and talked for hours until he had to go back home to Kokiri Forest as he bid Zelda goodbye and left the castle.
