Chapter One: When we were five
So I was five when I met her. I had made a really good friend that day. This day happens to be one of the best days of my life.
But, of course, it did not start off that way.
Here is what happened.
It was another clear, sunny day in Skyloft. The sun was shining through my window. Sunlight had flooded my room in the house in which my mother, father, and I lived in.
I looked out my window and into the sky as my mother walked in.
"Link, get up. I cannot be late for work," she would say softly to me every morning. She worked in the Bazaar. Mother helped the lady in the Potions Area. She would work from mid-morning to late evening.
And my father? He was a Knight. He always left very early and came back in the afternoon. I always wanted to be like him.
Anyways, I got up and dressed myself. I ate my usual breakfast, which was buttered bread and milk. I rather quickly that day because Mother wanted to be there early.
We left the home and headed for the Bazaar. Mother would work inside and I would play in the Plaza.
She went in as I began walking to the Plaza.
"Bye, Link" she would always call after me. And I would turn around and give a wave.
I would walk in the Plaza. I immediately received that same awful feeling that I got when I walked into the Plaza.
Jealousy.
I would look up into the sky and see all the other children flying their Loftwings, which we got two weeks before.
You see, every year, Skyloft has a ceremony. All children who were five at the time, received their Loftwing.
Two weeks before, I participated and got a beautiful crimson one. I loved it more than anything.
But, of course, you could not fly on your own until you were seven. If you were five or six, a parent or guardian had to be there watching you.
Father had always left before I woke up. And by the time Mother woke me up, it was time to leave. In the afternoons, when Father returned, I begged him to take me out. But he was too exhausted. And when Mother came home from her Potions job, darkness would have already cover Skyloft.
It was the law. There must be a parent or guardian there if you were not of age. If you broke this law, your family would have their Loftwings suspended for a month. They would even have to take away Father's. Being a Knight does not get a person out of it. And without Father working for a month, we wouldn't have had much money.
So I would not even dare to run off the edge. I knew it was right.
But I did have jealousy over the other kids. Everyday, I sat in the Plaza, watching them fly.
At that moment, Groose, Fledge, Cawlin, Stitch, and a blonde girl who was at the ceremony were flying.
I never ever liked Groose. When I was four, he pushed me into a mud puddle. He threw bugs at me. He constantly made fun of me. Like I said, never liked him.
I was staring at them flying, wishing I could be there when a voice broke my chain of thought.
"Groose, Father and I have to leave," called his mother.
"And?" He replied with much disrespect.
"Land your Loftwing and come down, please!" she yelled.
He rolled his eyes and landed really really bad.
His parents had walked off and he began to saunter towards me.
At that time, I had heard a Father's voice call down a girl named Zelda. She landed a lot better than Groose had. She farewell to her father, and he walked off.
By then, Groose had made it to me.
He was laughing at me as usual.
"How does it feel, Link? How does it feel to be the only one in Skyloft who can not ride their Loftwing? Your parents must not love you enough to come and watch you fly. You are pathetic." And with that he had pushed me down hard.
The girl who had landed earlier had come over.
"Groose, do not push down innocent people!" she had ranted.
"Helga, do not tell me what to do!"
"My name is Zelda, not Helga. And you are talking pretty big for that girly piece of hair you have on your ugly head." I have to admit, I still laugh about this to this day.
Groose became angry. "It is a pompadour!"
"That is a pretty big word for a person like you."
With that, Groose had stormed off.
I did not even notice I was still on the ground until Zelda looked down at me.
She smiled her smile at me. "Don't worry about him. He is really rude."
She stuck out her hand. I reached for it and she helped me up. Even then she had soft hands.
"I'm Zelda. And you are?"
"My name is Link," I told her.
"Oh so you are the Link that Groose has been making fun of."
"He has…?" I felt so embarrassed.
"Yeah. He is always laughing about you and how you do not get to ride your Loftwing. Oh by the way, I think you have a beautiful Loftwing. I was wanting the crimson one, but I am happy that you got it."
"What is the point of owning something you can't use?" I asked her.
She pondered for a moment. "Come with me," Zelda finally said.
She dragged me through the town, passed the Knight Academy, up the wooden stairs, and behind the big tower.
She made a whistling noise and her Loftwing came down.
"Get on real quick, go up a few feet, and land. Do it fast!" She said to me quietly.
I did exactly as she said. It was wonderful.
"Wow, thanks." I said to her.
"Don't mention it. And don't worry; I will not tell anyone."
I asked her an innocent question that impacted my whole life.
"Do you want to be friends?"
Her innocent answer made my day.
"Let's be best friends!"
