The Legend of Zelda: The Silent Princess

Back to Reality

A whole month had gone by of blissful peace. We took a trip down to the beach, visited with the people in town, and eventually, we took a trip to Tarrey Town. It was there that Link ordered a whole new set of clothes for me from Rhondson, who recently discovered she was pregnant with her first child.

Rhondson was happy to make clothes for me after all Link had done for her and her husband, Hudson. She was surprisingly quick with her work and even managed to duplicate the white coat I once had. She even made me a fire-resistant outfit that almost matched the style I currently had. Thanks to her, I wouldn't have to wear a bucket on my head like Link. He was a bit jealous of that one. Rhondson tried making me a Gerudo outfit as well, but Link wouldn't have it. He used the excuse that he already had an outfit I could borrow.

Of course, when I asked about it, he gave me the sapphire band that protected one from heat. I smiled, knowing he would always be protective over me in every aspect.

I took a look at the map as we sat on the edge of Tarrey Town. By that point, all the Divine Beasts had shut down. I believed we had been waiting long enough.

"As much as I hate to admit it, it's time to visit each Divine Beast," I said, closing the map and looking at the water below us.

"I suppose so," Link said, "Guess I can't keep you all to myself."

I blushed while I reached out to hold his hand, "I love you."

He leaned forward to kiss me as he whispered, "I love you too."

Then we both jumped as a pair of small hands suddenly pushed on our backs. When we turned around, the trouble-making kids had fled the scene. We could only hear their giggles. I laughed then stood up with Link.

"Well, should we travel there ourselves or go the fast way?" I asked.

Link tightened the straps that held his sword, "I think adventuring could do us some good and get rid of the monsters along the path. Which reminds me . . ."

He pulled out the Bow of Light. I had no idea he still had it. He handed it to me. I ran my fingers across the golden bow's string. I was surprised to feel the heavenly power coursing through it.

"It appears to work like the Master Sword. It will never break. Plus you can shoot as many arrows as you like."

"I didn't think it would work after the power left me," I responded, shaking my head in disbelief.

"Maybe there's some left in you. Now, shall we visit Zora's Domain first or head to Death Mountain?"

"Well . . . Zora's Domain is closer and I kind of want to see what Prince Sidon has been up to in the last month."

Link grinned, knowing what I meant. He offered his hand to me and together we headed out of Tarrey Town. We had only been walking down the path for a little while when we came across a young man and woman. They paid no heed to us as we crossed paths. I was about to look over my shoulder at them when Link grabbed my hand. . . Yiga.

I was beginning to wonder how long it would take them to find us. I clenched my fists. As soon as I heard them move, Link and I turned around to face them with our chosen weapons. I took aim at the man who had a slow reaction time while Link dealt with the woman. Just like always, they vanished before anything could be said.

"They never seem to quit," Link mumbled, "Even when I can guess all their moves."

"Maybe we should stay off the road?" I suggested.

He nodded, putting his sword away. Sighing, I pulled out the Sheikah Slate and clicked on the cycle icon. Link suppressed a smile as it appeared in front of us.

I pointed a finger at him, "Don't try anything crazy this time. And if you are planning to drive off the Great Plateau again or any cliff, please warn me beforehand so I can teleport to a shrine."

Long story short, I let him take me on a ride after we got married. And he thought it would be perfectly okay to drive off a cliff. Boy, was he lucky I held on tightly and that we were already hitched. I also forced him to let me drive afterward.

Once he promised to be careful, we got on the cycle. We took the road for a short while before heading off to Ukuku Plains. He sped to the very edge of the plains where the land and water met before he stopped promptly.

I got off as quickly as I could, brushing my hair back into place. I took a look at the piece of mountain in front of us.

"Are we climbing?" I asked, already getting out the pink bandana that Rhondson made for me. I folded it up so it was more like a headband. Unlike Link, I didn't want to look like a pirate. I also put the rest of my hair up with a blue ponytail Link made for me that matched his.

"Actually, I thought we could take a swim." His eyes went over to the waterfall.

"So, you're going to carry me on your back?"

He smiled, changing into the armor Mipha made him in a flash. I pursed my lips. The one thing Rhondson didn't make me was something to swim in. Not that she could make me an outfit that would allow me to swim up waterfalls.

I shrugged, deciding that it didn't matter if I got my current clothes wet. I had gotten soaked in them once before.

Link guided me over to the edge. Preparing myself for a flight, I got behind him. Then while I held on, he jumped off and glided us down to the waterfall. I held my breath as he stored the glider away. We fell into the water and a second later, we shot out as Link swam up it as I held on like Sidon had done with Mipha when he was little.

Once we reached the top, Link pulled out the glider again and touched us down on the ground. I let go of him and started to squeeze the water out of my hair. I took the bandana out and proceeded to take off my boots.

"Not that I'm ungrateful for avoiding the climb, but I do prefer dry shoes."

Link laughed and then directed my attention to the sky. I looked up to see clouds had started to form. Before anything could be done, I got out the Hylian hood made just for me. I threw up my hood as the rain began to fall. 

"Let's get going!" I said as I grabbed his hand. He stopped me so he could put his own hood on.

We ran in the rain. This time around, I was in the lead and our hands never slipped. By the time we made it to the edge overlooking Zora's Domain, the rain ceased. I put down the hood as I stared at the glowing structure below us.

"Ready?" Link asked. I nodded, prepared for the jump.

We glided down to Zora's Domain, passing by a flock of birds. Slowly, I was getting used to traveling this way. I'll admit that it would be nice to have a glider of my own, but right then, I couldn't care less. It gave me a chance to stick by Link's side.

I laughed as others looked at us in awe, "I think you're rubbing off on me, Link."

"So can I drive off--"

"Not quite, my reckless hero."

He scratched at his head as I went ahead to find Sidon. Link rushed to my side as I went up the stairs. I stopped short as I saw Sidon standing by the Goddess Statue with a silver ring in his hand.

An update was called out so I did as requested! Vote, comment, and I love this art of Zelda so much!
