A Hero Reawakens

Ch. 1 pt. 1

The town within Hyrule's walls bustled and came to life as the grand celebration of Princess Zelda's 16th birthday arrived. The bakers, eager to have the Princess taste their finest works. The Tailors, impatient as to see who's fine works the Princess will chose to wear. All the people, anxious to see the young Princess in her carriage come out of her castle of sanctuary and greet them all with her loving smile. On fine occasions like this, all the Hyrulians celebrated and came toward the town to dance traditional Hyrulain dances and tell of folk lore that lingered in the land from old times.

"If you don't hurry Link, you might miss your chance to see the Princess again!" Navi spoke as she freely flew around Link's head. Link, being embarrassed to even be there, quickly caught Navi and put his pointer finger to his mouth, in a sign for silence. "Link! Why should I stay hidden? It's been about 7 years since the old prejudices about the fairy children who live in the woods. Would you quit worrying? Let's just go say hello to the Princess again!" Link sighed, knowing that old thoughts never die. He motioned for Navi to stay in his hat, where she'd be safe. "Aw, Link..." Navi said, being defiant. "If I knew you were gonna act like this I would of never brought you along! Sadly, the late Deku Tree kindly asked me to watch over you. It's been 7 years since you last saw her and saved Hyrule." Link quickly, but gently, held her up to an opening in his hat. "Ok, Ok. But only cause your doing it to keep me safe." she fluttered in and tried to keep her glow low. "Now let's find Zelda!"

Navi was right when she said that Link hadn't seen her in a long time. Her memory of the adventure wiped away by his return, he slowly missed her older self. However, being a child again helped him gain his lost time, and he enjoyed living out his childhood. He still remembered their meeting, when he decided to return to her side. He thought of the old memory as he walked through the crowd to see a carriage being pulled by fine horses out into the road, creating for itself a line where the citizens moved to let it through, shouting their praise and joy for the Princess birthday.

"Who... who are you?" Zelda asked, shocked. Link didn't know how to answer, he fidgeted and pulled his tunic down a little, slightly blushing a looking away. He didn't want to part from her again, that's really all he knew. The sudden giggle that Zelda released made him jolt upward from his thoughts. "Did you get past the guards just to see me?" she held the back of her hand up to her face as she tried to hide her smile, but continued to giggle cutely. "Silly, I'm not really allowed to see people outside the castle, father says it's too... risky. Whatever that means." she lowered her hand and looked to him kindly. He found himself staring at her in wonder, she was so cute. "it's a pleasure to meet you.. um..." she looked to him, waiting for him to say something. Uh-oh... he desperately tried too, the only problem was... all he could really muster was some odd noises. "Umm... can you talk?" he remained silent for a moment. Then pulled out his dagger and swung it around, using his battle cry to show he could.

"Hyeh, hyah!" she giggled again, "Silly, that's not talking.. that's just making silly sounds to put more power into your attacks. At least, that's what I heard." she looked off to the left for a moment and put her hand to her chin to think about it. "At least, that's what I assume. The royal guards do a session on it when learning about sparring and such." she quickly looked back to Link, realizing she had left his presence for her own personal thought process. "Sorry, I tend to think out loud sometimes." Link nodded to showed he understood, and smiled at her awkwardness at her realization of it. "I suppose I could give you a name..." she looked at him with a serious look, she walked down from where she was in her garden and walked in circles around him. He felt like he was being judged for some odd reason, and tried to not blush about it. If Navi hadn't left to make sure Deku Tree Jr. was all right, she could of told Zelda her name. Fairies have the ability to look into a person's heart through their eyes, with Navi hanging around, he wouldn't feel the need to practice talking at all. A moment went by that to Link seemed like the 7 years had gone away again. "...! I got it!" she cheered and began to dance around. "The perfect name! It's got meaning, quick to say, not to much but just enough to sound decent." she was thinking out loud again. Link looked over to her, and then motioned with his hands to come out and say it already, of course in a nice and polite way, always with a smile on his face. Zelda just seemed to be beaming with unconditional happiness, and it leaked a little onto others. He didn't see this quality when he first met her, it must have been her uncertainty at the situation unraveling in front of her that made her turn from a jolly and sweet girl into a concerned princess of Hyrule that took her duty seriously.
