Days I Treasure

Part 4

                                  Link's POV:
       As Epona trotted through the fields, I watched Zelda with an amused expression. She was cheering almost constantly. "Zel, you seem excited" I teased. "You of all people should know why!" she yelled without turning around. I gave a grunt in response.

"Hey, are you gonna be okay when we get there? It's probably different then you remember, I just need to make sure you're gonna be alright, ok?" I say, trying to keep a worried expression hidden.

"Well, I watched you go through it. And I had been watching over it for 100 years after all." she said with a sad smile. I nodded. We didn't converse much after that. She looked curiously at the guardian ruins, and I bet she was wondering if we could get them working again.

"Hey Link, do you think we could get those working again?" Bingo! I called it! "Probably, but do you really want to?" I said, as memories of the Calamity resurfaced. She gave a sort of a shrug. "They could be valuable to Hyrule, but they could also put it through more turmoil ... I guess it would be better to be safe than sorry." Zelda said, her lips curving

"We're almost to Castle Town!" I said excitedly. She seemed to match my excitement. However, her face went expressionless a we trotted into Castle Town. "You alright, Zel?" I asked into her ear. This seems to break her out of some trance.

She gave a grunt an a small nod. A worried expression still settled on my face. "Hey Zel, while we're here, can you tell me some stories of here and the Castle? There are still bits I don't remember." I asked, trying to take her mind off whatever she was thinking of.

"Sure, so one time..." she began. I smiled, happy that she was happy. Her happy always made me happy, I couldn't explain it then, but I can now. In fact, it's pretty obvious. I turned red when she got to a part where I fell out of tree.

I had been trying to get an apple when a squirell scared me, and then I fell out of the tree. Apparently, I also almost fell next to me, but twisted and hit the roots. I did remember that now.

And as for the reason, I remember that too. I ha avoiding landing on her toe, to not cause her harm of course. It probably hurt a lot more than landing on her toe would've been, for both of us, I mean.

It would have hurt me a lot more if she was in pain, than falling on those roots. I basically am a mirror. She's happy, I'm happy. She sad, I feel like sobbing. I don't know how long this has been going on, but I recognized it sometime 100 years ago.

The first time I truly smiled, was when she figured out something and got super excited. She had been studying something about guardians, I hadn't been paying attention to her studying, as I was studying as well.

As for what I was studying, I think it's pretty obvious. I think if I ever had to admit that, I would die immediately from embarrassment. Despite how I seem, I got very embarrassed, and now I'm terrible at hiding it! Then there's the problem where I'm embarrassed more now, it's just a pile of embarrassment and a lot of emotions.

Anyway, that thing was apparently something she had been working on since she was about 6. Needless to say, she was very excited. Then, her father came into the picture. She threw away all of her research and walked away.

I took my time picking it out of the trash and storing it while she slept. I don't know what I did with it, I might have put it at my home in Hateno. Funnily enough, I accidentally bought my family home 100 years later.
