The Hyrulian Valhalla Saga

Girls Girls Girls Girls Girls!

"So what kind of girls does everyone like?"

All the other Heroes turned their head towards the one asking the question. Unsurprisingly, it was Brown, who always had some kind of conversation-starter to throw in when things got quiet. Light half-smirked, laid his elbows on the picnic table he was sitting up, and snorted.

"What is up with you and questions like this, Brown?"

Brown shrugged. "I just get curious a lot, that's all!"

"I'll say."

"I don't mind," chimed in Green from the other end of the table. "I'm always ready to talk about girls!"

Mini side-eyed Green. "You sound like a pervert when you say it like that."

"I'm not a pervert! I'm just honest," he replied with a wry grin.

Sky laughed bashfully, scratching his cheek. "Well… I guess I don't mind answering that," he said. He rested his head in one of his hands and thought for a moment. "Let's see, what kind of girls do I like… This'll sound a little silly, but I like someone who doesn't mind taking care of me, you know?" He chuckled. "I just like getting pampered, especially by a cute girl."

Time crossed his arms. "That's not just you being your lazy self, is it, Sky?"

"No! …Um, okay, maybe a little." The eldest Hero turned pink. "But everybody likes getting to fall asleep in the lap of a beautiful woman, right?"

With a laugh, Twilight interrupted. "You would think falling asleep was romantic," he said. He pointed a thumb to himself. "I've always liked women who could take care of themselves; who didn't expect you to do all the work just because you're a man."

Wind nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Me too!"

"I mean, girls who are all clingy and dependent get boring real fast, you know?" continued Twilight, "It's a lot more fun being with somebody who's confident and independent."

"That explains a lot about your choices in women," said Engie with a snicker. "I mean, come on, Ilia, Princess Zelda, Tetra, Midna…"

Wind and Twilight looked at each other, then let out an embarrassed chuckle, knowing that Engie had a point.

"I'm not that picky," said Time, lacing his fingers behind his head, "but I've always had a thing for girls with long hair. I just think it's really pretty."

"No way!" cried Brown, balling his hand into a fist. "Girls with short hair are the best!"

Time laughed. "Clearly you've never run your hand's through a lovely lady's flowing locks," he said with a wink.

"So? Short hair is cuter!"

"I don't mind whatever length it is," said Duo with a slightly raised hand, "but I always thought that red hair was the prettiest."

"Yeah! Redheads are gorgeous!" exclaimed Light with an intense sparkle in his eyes.

Engie spoke again. "I don't care what their hair is like - if they're a tomboy, they're automatically cute in my book!"

"Funny," said Mini with a shrug, "I was always the exact opposite. I always thought that the girlier girls were the cutest."

Meanwhile, Green was simply sitting in his seat with his eyes closed and a goofy smile on his face, quietly listening to what his fellow Heroes had to say. All eyes turned to him when it was his turn to speak, but he remained silent.

"…Uh, Green?" said Brown, "It's your turn."

"Yeah, weren't you the one most excited to talk about this?" asked Light with a raised eyebrow.

Finally, Green opened his eyes and grinned. "I'm not gonna lie," he said, "I like every girl."

"Every girl?" Wind asked.

"That's right, every girl!" Green stood in his seat and placed one foot on the table. "Pampering girls! Independent girls! Girls with long hair, girls with short hair, redheads, tomboys, and girly-girls!" He raised a fist high in the air triumphantly. "Blondes! Brunettes! Short girls! Tall girls! Skinny girls and chubby girls! It doesn't matter to me - I love them all…!"

The other Links stared incredulously at him. Then, Sky smiled.

"So in other words," he said, "you see what's in their hearts, right?"

Green thought about this for a moment. "Er… yeah! Yeah, that's it. It's what's on the inside that counts, right guys!?"

The rest nodded in agreement, while Green didn't have the heart to tell them that he hadn't thought that deeply about his reasons. After all, he just really liked girls.
