Zelda watched as Link bounded in front of her attackers. It was true that he was more skilled than she was and after everything that they’ve been through she trusted him with her life. She watched for a moment in awe of her knight, her hero, as he fought with her existence unmistakably in his heart. She was happy even in the middle of battle, even as the world was posed against them because they had each other and each moment created memories that she wanted to cherish.

She glanced around them just in time to see more monsters circling behind them. She raised her blade to protect Link’s back bringing down the sword in a graceful arc. She lightly pressed her shoulder against his back as she spoke. “I am behind you. We won’t fail because we are together.” They could fight together and be there for each other.

It was just like she dreamed of supporting each other in each endeavor; so that they didn’t have to part again. She felt her fatigue fade and she wished that she could speak her mind as easily as he could in the middle of such a fight. Having him in her heart made her stronger. Sweat beaded from her forehead and her breaths became heavy with each slash of her sword.
