The crowded hall silenced as their eyes met for the first time. Their meeting was guided by fate, a hand dealt by the Goddess Hylia herself. Tonight the Skyloft was alive with energy, the senior students of the knight academy were finally graduating. All of them were to become sky knights, however, not all of them were choosing to stay within the skies of their home.

Zelda turned to her lover, smiling brightly as she took him by the hand, her companion flushed a light pink. Link quickly stared at his brown boots, nervously scratching the back of his hand with a free hand.

'Would you like to dance?' she asked, guided him slowly to the centre of the hall. The poor boy had no choice, no sooner had she asked he felt the warmth of her hand pull him close. The young blonde placed a hand lightly on his shoulder, with the other she interlocked her slender fingers with his. Link blushed a deeper shade, nodding nervously in reply.

Zelda's smile grew wider, releasing a soft giggle from her peach lips. She stepped closer to her childhood friend, placing her head on his chest as they began to dance slowly. Either of them could quite control the colour decorating their cheeks. Link sheepishly placed his shaky hand on her lower back before kissing her softly on the forehead. The blonde looked up at him, their sapphires meeting again. He blushed turning his head to the crowd, but his companion laughed, her beautiful smile appearing on her peach lips once more.

'You missed Mister Hero,' Zelda teased. Link turned back to face her, raising an eyebrow. The young girl stood on her tiptoes and lightly planted a soft kiss on his lips. He didn't resist, instead, he gave in to the warmth of his body against hers and embraced it, pulling his lover in closer. They pulled away after a minute, both feeling a little more at ease. Zelda placed her head back on his shoulder, dancing away the night together.

For this young hero had finally won the heart of his Princess.
