Saving A Lost Kingdom

The Twilight Realm: Zelda

I miss being home. Most of all, I miss Link, my Link. I know that I shouldn't still be thinking about him but every once in and awhile I think about what could have been. Before the calamity, I had finally gotten him to open up to me. He had begun to let me take some of his burdens. When the Yiga Clan tried to kill me and Link selflessly defended me, that's when I realized two things: I felt bad for how cold and uptight I had been to him since he had first become my knight and that I had developed feelings for him. After that moment, I apologized to him for being a royal pain in the ass. Then I asked him why he was always silent. I had no idea that he was under the same pressure as I was. 

Midna and I were headed towards the Palace of Twilight in the distance. "So if you are the new Zelda of the Light World, then where's Link?" Midna asked me, breaking the awkward silence between us. I thought about how I should respond. I hadn't talked to someone about my Link since his death. I stopped in my tracks. "Link.....Link was the greatest knight that Hyrule has ever had and my closest friend." I stopped myself just before I started to cry. As my emotions began to take over, I fell to my knees. Midna turned around to see me in an emotional mess. She began to walk towards me and sit. "Zelda...I'm...I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset." "It's alright Midna. You just wanted to know and I let my emotions get the better of me." Midna stood back up and extended her hand. "Well, there's no point in getting worked up over the past. All we can do is move forward." As I reached for her hand, I told her "You're right. My Link is gone and I can't change that. I really need to stop giving the new Link the cold shoulder because of what happened to the Link I knew."
