Link and Zelda reached the door to their bedroom and hesitated briefly. After a moment, Link inhaled and opened the door. He waited for Zelda to enter then followed behind her. Link had never seen Zelda's bedroom and was surprised by its large size. His room within the castle was half this size. To the left was a long bookcase full of books and an L-shaped writing desk with a journal on top. A balcony facing the west side of Hyrule was across the room. To the right was a large stone fire place that had already been lit for the evening. There was also a wardrobe and vanity with a privacy curtain for changing in the opposite corner. The center of the room featured two chairs with a matching footrest, though the centerpiece of the room was the large four poster bed.

Link swallowed nervously upon seeing the massive bed. His entire life had been dedicated to becoming a knight and protecting the princess, so he never made time for romance and women. During his time training as a knight, he overheard stories from the other knights as they graphically shared their sexual exploits and trysts. At the time he ignored them, but now he tried his hardest to recall anything they said. Even though Sidon's advice earlier was humiliating and unasked, he did appreciate his friend trying to help. Sidon was already married and had experience that Link did not.

"Aah!"

Link was pulled from his daze when he heard Zelda's soft cry of pain. He saw that her crown had already been removed and was placed on her vanity. She was attempting to remove all the pins in her hair, but one particular pin was being very stubborn and tugged at her hair. Link walked over and placed his own crown next to Zelda's on the vanity. He stood behind his wife and proceeded to remove the stubborn pin from her hair. Zelda gasped at Link's sudden touch but relaxed at the soothing feeling of his hands gently removing the remaining pins in her hair. She closed her eyes and enjoyed his touch. Once the last pin was removed, Link slowly ran his hands through Zelda's hair and enjoyed its softness. Her hair had grown over the past year and reached her mid-back. Link recalled helping Zelda cut her hair short before studying the ruins under Hyrule Castle. While he thought her short hair was cute, her longer hair was stunning and he enjoyed running his fingers through it.

Zelda enjoyed the feeling as well as she softly hummed. Link loved seeing Zelda at peace like this, but felt it was time for the next step. His hands left her hair and found the fastenings to her dress. He began undoing the fastenings when Zelda gasped and quickly pulled away turning to face Link. Immediately she felt guilty for her actions upon seeing Link's hurt face.

"I'm sorry, Link," Zelda apologized, "It's just…I…I've never been intimate with anyone. I'm nervous."

Zelda hung her head as heat covered her face and ears. Link threw his arms around Zelda and pulled her into a tight embrace, with his head resting on her shoulder. Zelda hugged him back breathing in his earthy scent and relaxed in his arms.

"I dedicated my life to training and becoming a knight. I never made time for dating or intimacy, so I am just as inexperienced as you," Link reassured.

Zelda breathed a sigh of relief and pulled back from the hug placing a hand on Link's cheek and the other on his chest.

"We'll take things slow and figure it out," Zelda smiled.

Link gave a comforting nod and leaned forward to kiss Zelda. The kiss quickly intensified when Link heard Zelda moan against his mouth. His hands reached behind her and began undoing the fastenings to her dress. Simultaneously, the hand on Link's cheek went to his hair and removed the hair tie causing his shoulder length hair to spill out. Both of Zelda's hands made their way to Link's chest and began undoing the fastenings to his tunic. Once the fastenings were loose, Zelda gently pushed the garment from Link's shoulders and felt her breath hitch as the tunic hit the floor. Link had finished undoing the fastenings to Zelda's dress and pulled back slightly locking eyes with Zelda. She gave him a small nod and he pushed the heavy dress from her shoulders. The large ballgown pooled at her feet leaving Zelda in her chemise and corset. Zelda stepped out of her dress and shoes and grasped Link's hands guiding them to the fastenings on the front of her corset.

Nervously, Link untied her corset until it fell to the floor as well. The only garment Zelda wore now was her chemise. Link felt lightheaded as he could faintly see Zelda's breasts through her undergarment.

"Now you need to remove something," Zelda said sheepishly.

Link realized he was still wearing his boots and quickly discarded them. He decided to remove his pants as well since they were becoming tighter with every second. Link was left in his undershirt and underwear. He approached Zelda scooping an arm behind her knees and the other arm supporting her back as he picked her up bridal style and carried her to their bed. Zelda was surprised by the sudden motion, but loved the feeling of Link's strong arms supporting her. He placed her on the bed and crawled over her body placing a hot kiss on her lips.

His lips began a trail from her mouth, to her cheek, and down her neck where it met her shoulder. His tongue lightly licked her as he continued along her shoulder. He found a spot to nip and suck so he could leave his mark on her but made sure it was a location she could hide with her clothes.

"Link…" Zelda sighed as she wrapped her arms around him pulling him closer.

Her hands moved lower to grasp the hem of his undershirt and gently tugged asking for permission to remove it. Link paused his actions at Zelda's shoulder for a moment then sat up straddling Zelda's hips. Zelda pulled the clothing item up his torso with Link raising his arms, allowing her to fully remove the garment to expose his defined arms and chest. Zelda breathed deeply as she tossed the shirt aside and placed her hands on Link's abdomen. She felt the contour of every muscle as her hands made their way north, feeling his pectorals and tracing his battle scars along the way. His muscles tightened under her fingers as her soft caresses stimulated him. Link focused on his breathing to keep his body from lighting on fire and to steady his racing heart. He enjoyed the feeling of her smooth hands as they glided up his chest and down his arms, but he wanted to see more Zelda.

Link shuffled back slightly so he could reach the hem of Zelda's chemise. He clenched the fabric and made eye contact with Zelda silently asking for permission with his eyes. She gave him a small nod and lifted her hips so Link could push the chemise to her waist. Zelda sat up and lifted her arms so Link could pull the clothing item over her head. Her nude body was exposed to him bathed in moonlight. Link had never seen anything as beautiful as her in this moment.

Self-consciously, Zelda crossed her arms over her chest and squeezed her legs together unable to withstand Link's intense gaze.

"Zelda, you are so beautiful," Link spoke as he grasped her wrists, "Please don't hide yourself."

Touched by his words, Zelda gave Link a sweet smile and head nod. He leaned forward slowly easing Zelda onto her back and gently pulled her wrists apart to pin her to the bed. Link's heart pounded as if it would burst from his chest at the sight of his wife and queen. She was as radiant as the Goddess Hylia if not more radiant. Her golden hair framed her face like a halo, and her pale skin appeared to glow in the moonlight. Link bent down to kiss Zelda pressing his weight into her. Electricity ran through their bodies as their bare chests made contact.

Zelda moaned against Link's mouth and arched her back pressing them closer together. This caused Link to loosen his grip on Zelda's wrist as he released his own moan. Zelda wrapped her arms around Link's torso digging her nails into his back causing him to gasp in pleasure. With his lips slightly parted, Zelda tentatively tapped the tip of her tongue to Link's lower lip and waited to see his reaction. His body stiffened for a moment then returned the action by tapping his tongue to her lips. Zelda lifted her head placing an open-mouthed kiss on Link which he eagerly returned. Their tongues danced together and fought for dominance as Link lowered one of his hands.

Link placed his right hand at Zelda's waist and slowly rubbed up her side. His thumb brushed the underside of her breast causing Zelda to squirm. Link rubbed his thumb again causing Zelda to squirm beneath him and whine against his heavy kisses. Her left hand reached for Link's hand and guided him where she wanted to be touched. Link's callused hand cupped her left breast and kneaded, his thumb rubbing her nipple. Zelda could barely handle the sensation when Link left her mouth and placed a kiss on her collarbone. She gasped for air, breathless from his passionate kisses. Her chest heaved as Link grew bolder and kissed lower down her chest till his face was between her breasts. He planted a kiss between them, then replaced his right hand with his mouth. Zelda's hands clutched at Link's hair as she moaned lustfully. Link's tongue circled Zelda's nipple as his left hand grasped her other breast. Zelda writhed beneath Link as she pulled his hair and pleaded,

"Link! Please…"

Link lifted his head to look at Zelda's flushed face and heavy-lidded eyes. He smirked and shifted his weight placing his left hand on the mattress and his right hand on Zelda's belly. He lightly traced down her belly tickling Zelda slightly until his hand was right above her most intimate area. Link stared into Zelda's emerald eyes and once again silently asked for permission. She nodded leading Link to take her other breast in his mouth as his hand stroked her. Zelda nearly arched off the bed at the rapture Link gave her. His mouth licked and sucked at her breast as he inserted a finger. He continued these actions eventually adding a second and third finger while his thumb traced circles around her sensitive bud. His movements were awkward and slow at first, but quickly he found a rhythm that Zelda seemed to enjoy. She tugged at his hair and moaned incessantly. Link could tell her release was close as her moans grew louder and she clamped his fingers.

Link wanted to try one more thing with Zelda before she finished. It was something he learned about from the other knights when he was still a squire, and apparently it was an aspect of sex that women took the most pleasure in. However, he did not want to scare Zelda and decided to approach it slowly. Link's hand slowed inside Zelda as he began a trail of kisses from her breast, down her belly, and over her hip as his face hovered over her womanhood. He removed his hand wiping it against the sheets and gazed up Zelda's body. She was panting and sweating before him and the scent of her arousal made his brain turn to white noise. Link placed his hands on Zelda's thighs and carefully spread them. Zelda felt his warm breath between her legs and she quickly propped herself up on her elbows alarmed. Her ladies in waiting told her about this act and how incredible it felt, and yet she had hesitations about this form of intimacy.

"Are you okay with this?" Link asked politely, "I can stop if I need too."

Zelda sensed a little nervousness in Link as well and felt her heart melt at his sweetness. She smiled at him and answered,

"Yes, I'm okay with this. Please don't stop."

Link did not hesitate and buried his face between her legs. Zelda arched her back crying out at the sensation as electricity pulsed through her body. Link grasped her thighs as he tasted her essence. He knew this would feel good for Zelda, but he was shocked at how much he enjoyed it. He kissed and licked everything at her center, but noticed Zelda had stronger reactions when he stimulated her sensitive bud. He focused his attention there and found a rhythm that satisfied them both. Zelda felt her release building again and getting closer than before. She grabbed Link's hair again and pulled him closer, spreading her legs even wider. Her other hand clutched the sheets beneath her. Link groaned against her and licked faster determined to make her scream his name. The tension in Zelda's lower abdomen tightened and tightened until finally it snapped. She threw her head back and screamed,

"AAH LINK!"

She thrashed beneath him as Link continued pleasuring her to draw out her climax. He stopped when her body stilled. Link sat upright and nearly passed out seeing the flushed woman below him covered in sweat and cheeks flushed. She was stunning as her breathing slowly returned to normal. Her eyes fluttered open and she said,

"I don't know what to say. That was…."

Zelda trailed off as Link chuckled wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.

"You certainly know how to make a man feel good about himself," Link said proudly as he crawled over Zelda and kissed her nose.

She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck to pull him into another kiss. Link returned the kiss, pressing his body against hers. Now that Zelda had received her release, she wanted to give Link the same satisfaction. She lowered her arms to wrap around his torso, gripped his hips with her thighs, then threw her weight to the side rolling on top of Link. She lifted her torso and straddled his hips, placing her hands on Link's chest for leverage.

Link was surprised by Zelda's sudden actions but did not complain about his new view. Timidly, Zelda grinded her hips against Link and sighed. She still felt sensitive between her legs and the coarse fabric of Link's underwear only provided more friction. She felt Link's muscles tense beneath her hands as his face contorted in pleasure. Zelda enjoyed her view as well, completely taken by the sight of her husband and king shifting beneath her as their intimate areas ground together. Link rested his hands on Zelda's hips and helped guide her movements.

"Ah Zelda…" Link groaned as he shut his eyes enjoying the feeling of their hips grinding together and Zelda's hands roaming his chest. He felt blood rush to his groin as he hardened and tension building throughout his body. His release grew closer as Zelda continued to arouse him. As amazing as he felt, Link did not want to finish like this and felt an overwhelming need to connect with Zelda in the most physical way.

With no warning, Link tightly gripped Zelda's hips and flung her to the side with Zelda landing on her back with an oof.

"Ugh Link!" Zelda fussed at his rough actions, then hesitated when she realized what Link was doing. He quickly discarded his underwear tossing them to the floor leaving both him and Zelda fully bare. He hastily positioned himself on all fours on top of Zelda and stared intently into her wide eyes. Link's eyes showed an intense primal desire, but he noticed apprehensiveness in Zelda's eyes. He steadied his breathing and asked,

"Are you ready?"

Zelda took a deep breath to relax and nodded nervously. Her throat tightened preventing her from speaking. Link gave a small nod and opened her legs with his knees. He positioned himself at Zelda's entrance bending her knees to angle her hips up slightly. Zelda felt her breath hitch when she felt Link's member touch her and she struggled to relax her body. Noticing Zelda's anxiousness, Link offered his hands, silently asking her to take them. She wrapped her fingers around his squeezing tightly. Link placed their hands on either side of Zelda's head as he leaned forward, his face directly above hers.

"I love you, Zelda" Link spoke clearly in a low voice.

Zelda's eyes moistened and she responded with a smile, "I love you too, Link."

Link pushed inside Zelda filling her fully with a strangled groan. She cried out in pain, crushing Link's hands with all the strength she had, and squeezed her eyes shut as tears rolled down her cheeks. Link knew a woman's first time was usually painful based on what he had heard, but he did not expect this reaction. Link released one of Zelda's hands and cradled her head, burying his face in her hair where her neck met her shoulder. He squeezed her other hand attempting to reassure her. It was difficult not to thrust into Zelda with reckless abandon, but Link knew he needed to wait until she was ready for him to move. He stifled his groans and forced his body to freeze despite the intense pleasure he felt being connected with Zelda in this way.

After a short period of time, Zelda's free hand came to rest on Link's back and she slowly felt her body relax. Zelda gave an encouraging squeeze to Link's hand she was still holding, signaling she was ready for him to move. Slowly, Link pulled out of Zelda and pushed inside her again. He released a guttural groan at the incredible feeling, causing Zelda to sigh at his sound and the motion he made inside her. Link repeated the motion and they both moaned. Zelda feeling fully relaxed released Link's hand and lovingly embraced him. Instinct took over as Link found a steady rhythm. He felt himself melting into Zelda as they connected over and over again. Zelda wrapped her legs around Link's hips pulling him deeper into her and furthering their connection. Link nearly lost himself and pounded into Zelda. She cried out in ecstasy this time and dug her nails into his back nearly drawing blood.

Link grunted into Zelda's shoulder and hugged her tightly with both arms. Zelda felt her own release building up again as if she were ascending to the heavens. She prayed they could ascend and fall together. Link drove into Zelda as hard as he could only thinking about their satisfaction and pleasure. He had to make her feel how much she meant to him and how much he loved her. Zelda moved her hips in sync with Link, the pain of him entering her long gone. There was only Link and the immense love she felt for him both in her heart and body.

Link and Zelda held each other securely thinking there was no way to be physically closer. No way they could not melt more into each other. No way they could not reach a greater height than the happiness they felt. Then they reached the peak of their ascent and fell from heaven. Zelda screamed as her release took over her body once again. Simultaneously, Link cried out as his release filled Zelda and waves of pleasure racked his body. Neither person had ever felt a sensation as euphoric as this.

As the waves passed, Link collapsed and went limp on top of Zelda. She slowly released her grip on Link as her legs fell back to the mattress and her hands rested gently on his back and hair. She ran her fingers through his hair in a soothing manner. Link gave a content sigh then released his intense hold on Zelda. He shakily propped himself up on his elbows to look down at her. He felt close to tears at the beautiful sight below him. Her golden hair fanned across the pillow and happy tears spilled from her eyes. She really was a descendant of the Goddess Hylia.

Zelda pushed Link's hair behind his ears and cupped his face tenderly. Link then brought his hands to her face, lovingly stroking her cheeks with his thumbs to wipe the tears. He bent down and they shared one more kiss. This one being sweet and gentle. Link gradually removed himself from Zelda with a groan and fell to the side with his arms spread open. Zelda released a small whine at Link no longer being connected with her then looked at his amusing position. He was extremely relaxed and about to fall asleep. She could not help but smile and inched closer to him. She pulled the covers over both of them and settled into Link's side using his chest as a pillow and her arms wrapped around him. Link pulled Zelda closer to him and leaned his head against hers.

"Zelda?" Link asked.

"Hmm?" Zelda hummed in response.

"Thank you," Link said simply.

Zelda lifted her head to glance at Link but he was already asleep. She placed a sweet kiss on his jawline and fell asleep herself.
