From the distance stood a blurred vision of a young girl with long blonde hair. It was blowing in the wind ever so effortlessly. The golden strands were mesmerizing, captivating to one's eye.
She held out her hand, a sweet smile on her face. "Link." A younger version of Link extended his hand towards her hand. "Wake up, Link."
The girl kept repeating that over and over until her voice was slowly drawing out. Everything felt like it was going underwater, unable to swim up. Sinking like a rock in the bottomless abyss, his body had no way of moving. He keeping falling more and more deeper.
"Link!" Link shot open his eyes, quickly rising up from the bed. Looking side to side, he saw Neji right in front of him, holding a tray of food. "Geez... For a skilled assassin, you sure are a heavy sleeper."
Looking away, Link received his breakfast from Neji. "Did you make this yourself?"
Neji nodded eagerly. "I did! I know what you're thinking. How can I make such delicious looking food? Well... Surviving on your own can teach you a lot of things."
"Touché." Link took the first bite, raising his eyebrows. "This is pretty good."
"I'm glad you like it!" Neji covered his mouth with his hand, a teasing smirk appeared on his face. "So... I kind of heard you talking in your sleep. Who's Zelda?" Link started choking on his food, beating on his chest to make the food go down since it was stuck in his throat. Wondering who she was, Neji seemed to have an idea. "Oh..! Is she your girlfriend? I want to meet her!"
Not wanting to feel embarrassed any longer, Link bonked on top of Neji's head, giving him a cranial eruption. "Get out."
Neji held his head in pain! "Ow! What was that for?!"
"Just get out."
Neji pouted, realizing another thing. "I see now. You're one of those." Meeting his palm with his fist, he smiled proudly. "A tsundere."
Link had absolutely no response to that. "...What?"
"It's when you hide your true feelings, but everyone can see right through it. It's so obvious that you like this girl." In that instance, Neji saw Link glaring him down, sending a shiver down his spine. "I just remembered! I gotta feed Epona! See ya!" He took no time to rush out of Link's room.
Link let out a sigh, a slight blush on his face. It's been years since he's seen her. The princess of Hyrule. She was the first person besides his sister to believe in him. Wondering if his feelings from before still lingered in his heart, he placed his hand on his chest.
He wondered what she looked like by now. How was she doing? What was she doing? Link could only wonder. It's not like he was going to see her anytime soon out of the blue.

Later that day, Link and Neji were standing next to each other, facing Ganondorf to discuss the next mission. He did mention in the beginning that there will be three weapons he needed to gather. This will be the last one. It would be easy just like the other two.
