It's been a couple months since the sealing of Calamity Ganon. Link and Zelda have been working to restore Hyrule back to it's former glory or possibly greater glory. they have traveled all over Hyrule visiting the other tribes and hanging out. It was late in the afternoon, Zelda was sitting at her desk in her room in Hyrule castle writing in her diary. She sighed as she was writing about some events that have happened recently.
I am not sure how Link truly feels about me, we have traveled around Hyrule and he introduced me to Bolson, Hudson and Karson and I asked them if they were willing to help repair the castle and they gladly accepted, everyday Link goes off to help fight the Yiga Clan who have been attacking near settlements all around Hyrule trying to seek retribution for the defeat of their chief and everyday I talk with him, our relationship seems to have taken a bit of a dark turn, I yelled at him yesterday after he scared me as a joke and earlier we had a small fight and he took off and has been gone all afternoon, I can't help but think about what to say when he returns.
Zelda shed a tear as she continued to write but then heard the sound of footsteps and she looked to her right to see Link walk in.
"Link!"
Zelda quickly put her pen down and got up and from her desk and ran up to Link and Link opened his arms and Zelda jumped into them and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I am sorry about earlier Link."
Link stood there silently and kept his arms wrapped tightly around Zelda as she kept her face buried in his shoulder.
They hugged for a moment then they pulled away to look at each other.
Link then leaned down and gave Zelda quick kiss on the lips.
"It's okay Zelda."
Link took Zelda's hand in his and went over to her bed and sat on the edge and Zelda sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around him and gave him a peck on the cheek.
"Thank you Link."
They stayed like that for awhile before laying down on the bed and soon falling asleep.
A few days past Link and Zelda's relationship was starting to get better, they had traveled to Hateno Village where they had decided to stay for a couple of days to get away from all the stress and to spend a bit of time alone.
Zelda was sitting at the table in the middle of the house.
"So you bought this house and that was how you met Bolson, Hudson and Karson?"
Link nodded and walked over to the table and sat by Zelda.
Zelda was looking at the weapons of the champions hanging on the walls.
"Why don't we go to the Tech Lab and visit Purah and Symin?"
Link nodded again and they both got up from the table and Zelda wrapped her hands around Link's arm and walked out the door.
The walk to the lab was pretty silent, villagers would wave or greet them as they walked down the path and once they reached the Tech Lab Link pushed the door open and they entered and were greeted by Purah and Symin turned from the bookshelf to look at them.
"Hello Linky and Princess!"
"Oh greetings Princess, Link."
"Hello Purah, Symin, nice to see you again."
After a few minutes of discussing different topics, mainly talking about the future of Hyrule Zelda took Link's hand and he led her back to his house.
Later that afternoon Zelda was cleaning a bit why Link went to get something to eat for them both.
"Link ever dust this place?"
Zelda was dusting around the bed when she sneezed and dropped her feather duster on the floor and then leaned down to pick it up but as she leaned down she noticed something under the bed.
"What is that?"
It was a small box, Zelda out of curiosity reached under the bed and grabbed the box and pulled it out.
"What could be in this?"
Zelda opened the box and inside was a few letters and notes.
Zelda quickly picked up one of the letters and looked at it.
"From Paya."
Zelda getting a bit worried flipped open the letter and read it in her mind.
Dear Link. I am not really great with writing letters but I thought I should tell you that I would like to meet you outside Kakariko village to talk with you. I have some things I've been meaning to talk to you about and maybe spend a little time with you.
A tear ran down Zelda's right cheek as she gasped and stared in horror, could Link be secretly cheating on her? after all they have gone through together and after he promised to never leave her?
"Link... how could you do this?"
Just then Zelda heard the door open and stood up to look at him with a angry look on her face.
"Hey Zelda, I was able to find a lot of Hylian Shrooms growing out in the woods and also was able to kill a few wolves."
Link placed the food down on the table and Zelda remained silent looking down at Link ignoring everything he said and Link looked up at her confused.
"Zelda?"
"Link... can you tell me what this is all about!?"
Zelda put the letter up and Link quickly ran up the stairs.
"Zelda!"
Zelda looked at Link with tears starting to run down her cheeks.
"Zelda this isn't what you think."
Zelda tried to keep her emotions back but it was difficult now that Link was denying seeing Paya.
"Really? that you have been sneaking off to see Paya!?"
Zelda was now furious.
"It's quite obvious Link, this explains why you've been gone a lot more often than usual and why you have been going to Kakariko a lot!"
"Zelda I would never do that! You know I could never do something like this!"
"Then why are you gone so much now!? what else could you be doing!? seems you're doing a lot more than just fighting warriors of the Yiga Clan!"
"Zelda that's what I've been doing, they have been attacking all over Hyrule and in larger numbers I told you this before!"
"Then why exactly has Paya been sending you these letters!?"
"Because she..."
Link didn't really know how to explain it and looked down at his feet.
Zelda just threw the letter down on the floor and then shoved past him.
"Just forget it! I knew you would deny it!"
"Zelda let me just explain"
Link grabbed her wrist to stop her.
"Let go of me! I've had enough of the lies!"
Zelda pulled her hand away from Link's and walked down stairs and Link followed her.
"Zelda would you please-"
"NO! I've heard enough, you don't worry about me you got Paya!"
Zelda then opened the door and walked out and slammed it behind her.
Link just stood their silently and started feeling saddened at what just happened.
Zelda just got on her horse and took off toward Hyrule Castle with tears still in her eyes and feeling like she had just been stabbed in the heart.
