Growing Up With a Girl Named Zelda: When we were seven

So turning seven for me was a huge deal. As I may remind you, seven was the age where a person in Skyloft did not have to fly with a parent or guardian watching them anymore. I was so excited to be turning seven.

And so was Zelda. Her seventh birthday was a week after mine. And Groose's was a month before mine.

As I was saying though, I could not be any happier to be turning seven. I was so happy that I could fly anytime I wanted during the daytime. Mother nor Father had to watch me.

On my birthday, Mother had made me my favorite meal: Buttered bread with salted meat, cheese potato soup, and chocolate tarts. And my family took me out to have fun that day. Father let me look around in the Knight Academy. Mother took me to the waterfall. And they both had a small party for me at night. We all had so much fun together. I got to do everything I wanted to do on my birthday.

Except, go out flying.

I was really busy.

But the days following my birthday were filled with flying.

And Zelda helped train me. I was not as good as the others because of course I never really flied that much when I was five and six. Zelda was always there to help me out.

About two weeks after my birthday, I was flying really well. She was a good teacher.

So, to test this, she suggested that we fly to one of the nearby islands. She also told me it was to get away from Groose because he kept picking on us.

I agreed to fly to an island.

"Do you have a map?" I asked her.

"Yeah, in my pouch," she said feeling for it.

"Aha! Here it is! Now let's take a look at it. Hmm. I suggest we go to that island. Do you see it, Link? That one in the eastern sky. Right where my finger happens to be."

I looked to it and thought I can remember that island.

Zelda smiled at me.

I smiled back and said, "I'll race you!"

She laughed. "Oh, it is on!"

"Alright on the count of three. One…Two….THREE!"

We broke into a run. We were on the western side of Skyloft and wanted to jump off the eastern side. So we had to run a little bit. We went up and down stairs, past the Bazaar, past a lot of houses, and finally made it to the jump off on the eastern side. I was ahead by about five feet.

I remember running off and staying in midair for a few seconds. I loved the feel of falling for some odd reason. But then I remembered I was in a competition, so I called my crimson Loftwing.

In about a second, the feel of the falling sensation was gone. It was replaced with my feathery bird.

I soared through the sky and was determined to beat Zelda to the small island. I looked to my left and saw her flying next to me. I absolutely had to win. So, I charged and flew about seven feet ahead of her.

I finally made it to the island. And I made it before her.

I landed and then about four seconds later she landed too.

"Ha ha! I have beat you, Zelda!" I said with pride.

She rolled her eyes and laughed, "Oh, Link. That is because I let you win!"

"No excuses. You know I won fair and square!"

"Really?' She smirked raising one eyebrow while crossing her arms. "Are you positive about that, Link?"

"Yes," I shot at her while crossing my arms as well.

"Well," she began. "Are you sure about that? Because, Link, you are one of the slowest seven year olds in Skyloft. How do you know I didn't just let you win to make you feel better?"

I had scoffed at her. "Because, Zelda, I know you are competitive. You would never lose on purpose. Just face with the fact that you got beat just now. I know how upset you must feel. But hey, don't feel bad. We can have as many competitions as you want. And I might let you win sometimes to make you feel better."

"Oh, please, Link. I could beat you anytime."

"Well, just now you did not."

"Rematch."

"Is that a challenge?"

"It most certainly is one. You. Me. To the Lumpy Pumpkin."

"Challenge accepted."

She smirked, "Let's make it interesting. Loser has to… Tell Groose how awesome his hair looks."

Now, I would tell him that sarcastically to make him mad. But when I was seven, it sounded like the most dreadful thing to do. I could not wait to see Zelda do it.

"You better brush up on your lying skills, Zelda, because I shall win. Then, once I win, I will sit back and watch you tell Groose."

She laughed and said, "Start the countdown."

I began, "Three…Two….ONE!"

We ran off and called our birds. I did not waste any time experiencing falling. I quickly called my bird. But by the time I was on mine, Zelda was about fifteen feet ahead of me.

I charged to get ahead. When we were side by side, she charged ahead another twenty feet. I, however, had to wait for my bird to recover.

It was too late though. By the time I could start charging again, she was about to land.

I finally made it there and landed.

"You better brush up on your lying skills, Link." She mocked me.

I sighed in defeat.

"Don't feel bad. We can have as many competitions as you want. And I might let you win sometimes to make you feel better." She mocked again.

Zelda used my own words against me.

And then, I had to tell Groose how awesome his hair looked. Oh joy.
