It was the morning of Link's birthday. He had been at war for 36 hours now. Zelda decided to go and see how he was doing. She put on her normal dress, but brought a cloak incase it was cold. She walked for about an hour until she heard coughing and a whole bunch of fighting in a forest. She ran in, recognising the cough. She watched the 15 girls run away, leaving Link half dead on the ground. "No!!!" she shouted, running to catch him, being he was falling.
Link's eyes were halfway closed. "Ze...l.....d.." he stuttered. Blood fell from his mouth.
Zelda's eyes fogged up with tears. "Wh...where's my dad? He could help you."
"H...he's...in in-inten..sive...care..." Link stuttered.
Zelda started crying. "Where are you hurt?"
"S..stomach....che...st......neck...head..." Link weakly said.
Zelda gently tore the already badly torn fabric around Link's stomach. It was bad. Her cold tears fell onto it. "I...I don't know what to do...." Zelda sobbed.
Link weakly smiled. "I..I'll b..e...fine...." Link stuttered. Blood quickly fell from his mouth to his chin, getting ready to drip down his badly wounded neck.
Zelda looked into his crystal-blue eyes. She thought for a second. "Happy birthday.." she whispered.
Link kept the smile on his face. "Th..nk...s...." he weakly said.
Zelda cried a little harder. His mouth is so wounded it's affecting his speech.... she thought. She then got an idea. She looked at her ankel-length dress. She started tearing strips off the bottom. After she tore the first strip she started wrapping it around Link's stomach. She occasionally told Link "lift" so she could wrap the fabric. About an hour later, all of Link's wounds were wrapped, except for the gash on his neck and the wounds hidden by his hair on his face and around his ears. Zelda lifted him gently and carried him away from the battlefeild. She could feel Link's cold tears as she carried him. She couldn't stand to believe what was happening. The last thing I would want is you coming home hurt, or being brought home dead on your birthday was the only thing zelda could remember her telling Link the entire way home.

Zelda gently lied Link on his bed. "Do you feel any better?" Zelda asked, choked up.
"Y-yes..." Link stuttered. He had stopped bleeding in most places by this time. Only his mouth continued to bleed.
Zelda helped him up. "Can you walk?" she asked.
Link nodded and tried, but fell flat on his face, worsening his mouth wound. "Owwww" he moaned.
Zelda helped him up. She lied him on his bed. "You'll live" she whispered.
