(Biweekly Poll Winner) A Memory of Younger Days (Saria/Link from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)

How long had it been since he was last here?

Link wasn't sure. He could only estimate by how he looked. When he was in the Chamber of Sages, he had aged around seven years, but circumstances after his adventure had led him to becoming a child once more. However, now he resembled the hero who defeated Ganondorf-- or rather, the hero nobody would recognise, for his heroic victory over evil was in another time entirely.

With a sigh, he did his best to dispatch those thoughts. They mattered very little at the present moment, for he was finally home.

The Lost Woods-- more specifically, the Sacred Forest Meadow. He believed it was a miracle he had found his way back to the woods, but he always had an affinity with these types of locations, so perhaps it was just fate. He wasn’t surprised that he remembered the special route to the meadow either. After all, one of the most important people in his life liked to visit this place, and because of that, it had become an important sanctuary for him as well.

The presence of a handful of native deku scrubs, rather than the patrolling moblins, was a sign that evil was not prominent here. He was glad, for it meant his efforts before leaving Hyrule had paid off. They were apprehensive to clash with him, perhaps knowing he was far more powerful than he appeared, so he was glad he didn’t have to battle to get to the top.

Upon climbing the stairs to the entrance to the Forest Temple, his eyes glanced to the stump where he hoped she would be.

She wasn't.

He didn’t try to let that disappoint him. This wasn't exactly her home, so it was likely she was just in Kokiri Forest. Fortunately, she visited this place often, so she was bound to show up.

...and if she didn't, he did have a means to contact her if he really needed it… but he preferred the idea of greeting her in person first.

Link strolled over to the stump where he fondly remembered her always playing her song. He sat down on it, and breathed heavily, finding the air of the forest to be comforting.

He had traveled for a long time, and while the stump of a tree wasn't exactly the most comforting of places to sit, the familiar scenery and sounds all around him brought a smile to his face and helped him to relax.

It had been sometime since he felt this safe and secure. This was a location he could fall asleep at without any worry.

But before he had an opportunity to do so, he heard a faint giggle, something he would not have otherwise heard if he hadn’t adjusted himself to the smallest of sound changes. He tensed up by reflex, but immediately calmed himself-- he knew that voice, after all.

“Hey! That’s my spot!” she playfully scolded him. Before he could acknowledge the comment, a warm set of small hands wrapped around his neck from behind. Link’s body was pulled back a little, but he found relief as his body leaned on another.

He wasn’t sure how she snuck on him like that, but he was glad for her presence nevertheless.

“You’re so tense, Link,” Saria criticized him, and she was right to do so. He could calm himself if he wanted to, but the littlest things could shock him; he was always subconsciously on guard. “You can relax here.”

“...thank you,” he spoke in whispers, doing as she suggested, but found himself shuddering a little upon hearing her fairy. He hadn’t heard that unique sound in quite some time, and it was reminding him of things he would rather forget.

Saria picked up on his discomfort immediately, and just as quickly realized what had caused it. She also knew why he had set out on a journey in the first place, so that contributed. “I’m sorry you couldn’t find her, Link.”

Link remained silent.

Being reminded of her didn’t hurt as much as it used to, which he supposed was a good thing. He hadn’t given up hope, but he was preparing for the very real possibility that he’d never see her again. It had been at least seven years, after all. Likely longer.

He also has a multitude of other things on his mind. During his travels, he had experienced and faced many hardships. He had learned many things. He had many regrets. His mind was in a fragile space, which was partly the reason he came here after miraculously finding himself in Hyrule once again. Here, in this refuge of familiarity, he could breathe even a little better.

Saria, ever the observant one, fought against his distress by tightening her grasp. She wasn’t particularly strong, but he could feel the difference, and acknowledged that by letting his guard down a bit more. He couldn’t do it fully… but he didn’t know if something like that was even possible anymore.

“It has been a long, long time, Link,” she spoke almost silently, resting her head on his shoulder. “You’re a lot bigger, hehe…”

He couldn’t help but chuckle a little in return. Her attempt to lighten the mood was a success.

She always brought a smile to his face, no matter the situation.

He was fearful he was too battle-hardened to enjoy her laughter. To learn his fears were misplaced was a massive relief.

“I am sorry for being gone for so long,” he finally spoke up again, but despite how happy he truly was to see her, his voice was not illustrating it well. He sounded sad and hurt, and she wasn’t fond of hearing him sound like that.

“There is no need to apologise, but first, let’s focus on getting rid of all that built-up stress, shall we?” she was stubborn about his state, though her subsequent action was not expected. Saria released the grasp she had around him just as he was getting used to it. His disappointment was fortunately short-lived, for she simply maneuvered around the stump, finally showing herself for the first time.

There was no reason for her to look any different, but he was glad she looked exactly the same nevertheless. He had truly underestimated how comforting familiarity could be.

“Link…” she murmured, catching his attention. Upon looking up, he remained stationary as she brought him into a warm hug. “When was the last time someone hugged you like this?”

That was a question that was difficult to answer.,

If memory served… it was likely Cremia…?

That… was a long time ago. Termina, though not free of hardships, did have some wonderful people… but all the journeys he had been on after were not as kind. They were not physically challenging, for his skill with the sword was unmatched, and he had a variety of other useful equipment to utilise too.

“Link.”

Mentally, however? It was immensely challenging. He was familiar with troubled people who were kind at heart, but those who were externally warm but internally cold were not pleasant people to meet, not to mention-

“Link," Saria raised her voice, enough to disrupt his thoughts. “You’re thinking too much. I told you already-- this is a place where you can relax, okay?”

“Sorry, I…”

“Hug me back,” she requested. “It’ll make you feel better. Trust me.”

There was no reason to deny her words. Saria was someone he could trust, someone he could always trust.

Therefore, he wrapped his hands around her, but when she unexpectedly squirmed a little, he was worried. Had he done something wrong? Was his strength too much for her small body? The last thing he wanted to do was cause her any discomfort.

"Uhm… Link…" she muttered, answering his thoughts. "...a little higher than that."

Her wording was vague at first, but when he thought about it, there was a reason she felt strangely squishy.

Oh.

The size difference between the two was more prominent than he thought.

Link raised his hands. "S-Sorry…"

"Hehe… it's okay…" Saria giggled, at least finding humor in his mistake. "I… didn't actually mind…"

Did she have to say that? This was certainly a way to distract his thoughts, though he wasn't sure if the replacement was appropriate. Link did his best to accept the hug for what it was, safely assuming Saria was just being polite about everything.

"You're all tense again!" she scolded him, releasing herself from the embrace unexpectedly. "Hmm… though I suppose it is my fault. Let’s try to hug in a different way, hmm?"

Saria backed off slightly, but it was only so she could turn her body around. Without warning, she promptly sat on his lap, a move he was not anticipating one bit. He instinctively placed his arms and hands around her, though did make sure not to aim anywhere too low or too high.

"Hehe…" she chuckled, gazing up at him. The tip of her hair tickled his chin, and Link would be lying if he said what she was doing wasn't unbelievably comforting. Her presence alone was making him feel sublimely secure, and that feeling was stronger with her on his lap. "I think I might have a new favorite spot."

By this point, he had figured out what she was doing. His mind was volatile, but could be comforted. She was doing her best to aid him. He couldn't deny his own urges to squeeze her tightly any longer, though he did make sure to be mindful of his strength. He was fascinated by how wonderful she felt to hold.

She was so soft… so small… so squishy…

... squishy…

He had touched her inappropriately moments prior, and he hoped the comfort he was presently feeling would make it slip from his mind… but it wasn't. It was only brief… but what he had touched did feel good…

... what was he doing? This was Saria! His childhood best friend! She was doing her best to make him feel warm and welcome, and here he was, thinking things he shouldn't.

...but she was super cute, and cozy…

It was all making his heart flutter.

"Link…" Saria hummed, seemingly enjoying the embrace… but the constant fidgeting suggested otherwise.

"Hmm…?" he quietly responded, far too focused on all these fuzzy feelings he was experiencing.

“Did you… meet any cute girls on your adventure?” she sparked an interesting conversation, and he was curious about her tone. It was… nervous.

It was a broad question-- one that simply could not be answered clearly.

He had met so many girls, in fact, and he would be lying if he said none of them were cute. However, he had met most before he had really developed an interest in girls.

“I don’t know,” he answered, and he didn’t believe it was a lie.

“That’s not an answer!” she giggled. “C’mon, give me a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’, Link!”

Her laughter was forced. He wouldn’t have noticed this many years ago, but he had picked up on certain ways people behaved when troubled.

The question now was why she was asking such a thing so nervously?

He didn’t comment for some time, only doing so when Saria stopped wiggling her legs back and forth and tilted her head slightly downwards.

That posture shift alone told him everything.

“...only one,” he gave his final answer. He heard her mumble something incomprehensible-- something that sounded sad, encouraging him to continue without delay. “It’s the girl currently sitting on my lap.”

Saria took a moment to process what he had said.

Link knew why she was so troubled. He would have been oblivious to her problems before, but he had acquired a wealth of experience.

She was scared-- scared he would leave again.

He had been gone for so long, and she had likely been worrying about his safety every day. Saria had tried her best to hold back her raw excitement at his presence, preferring to focus on his well-being after detecting he was stressed, but her happiness had leaked out quite a bit.

But that moment of pure euphoria was beginning to fade, replaced by inevitable feelings of dread and worry. He knew this, for he faced these emotions daily.

Saria wasn’t asking if he had met any other cute girls on his journey; what she was really asking was if he had met any girl that meant more to him than her.

Fortunately, he hadn’t. How could he? For the longest time, Saria was his only friend. She looked after him when nobody else would. Navi… she meant a tremendous amount to him too, but… she was gone. Deep down, he knew this. It was still taking some time to sink in, but it was reality.

But Saria wasn't gone. She was still here. He had realized this some time ago… and that had prompted him to return to Hyrule. He had been searching for so very long that he had forgotten for the longest time that there were individuals who eagerly awaited his return to Hyrule, and at the top of that list was her.

Saria looked up with awe in her eyes. The faintest of tears were beginning to form, but he was not concerned about their presence. “Do you… really mean that?”

“I’m sorry for being gone for so long,” he apologized. “But… I’m done travelling. I’m staying here. In Hyrule.”

Saria started to waver her body from side to side. It was a faint movement, but it made him smile.

“...your bed might be a little too big for you now,” she laughed.

“I’ll make it work,” he responded.

The two remained in each other’s embrace for some time, but eventually she tilted her head up again, staring at him. He gazed back down, noticing the warmest blush coating her face… and seeing it activated an uncontrollable urge to do something he had been thinking about for some time.

It was an urge she possessed as well, and without any verbal communication, the two gave in.

Saria’s lips were soft-- far softer than he imagined them being. The embrace of lips was a slow procedure, but after making that first step, their desires amplified. One kiss became two. Two became four. Four became eight…

Every single one shattered one of the many dark clouds roaming throughout his mind. Link was obsessed with how smooth her lips were, and she was equally addicted to the tingly feeling she felt whenever she smooched her favorite man.

Whenever Saria believed she had satisfied her desires, even greedier ones took their place. As a result, her tongue soon started to slide against his lips, and Link saw no reason to deny her what she wanted-- he wanted it too.

The size difference between the two was made especially prominent when her small tongue clashed against his large one. Link knew he would easily be able to overpower her, but he allowed her to explore and satisfy her needs.

Despite all the travelling he had done, he had never done something like this before. Girls had flirted with him before, but he always brushed off their advances.

Saria was in a similar boat. There was no boy she cherished more than Link, so she was experiencing these new feelings alongside him.

It was only when they couldn’t resist the need to breathe that they finally stopped.

“...L-Link…” she hummed, her voice weak and fragile… yet so adorable.

“...yes?” he tried his best to sound stable… succeeding only barely.

"Ah… um… I can… feel it…"

...he honestly hadn't noticed.

All the excitement over her adorable body, how it felt to hold, and how it felt to kiss her… it had affected him physically, as well as mentally.

"Ah… sorry, I'm… ah…"

He had never stuttered so much in his life. His calm, confident demeanor was no more.

“...I d-didn’t know you needed that kind of stress relief,” Saria teased him, sounding far more confident somehow. “But… if that is what you want…”

Did she have to speak so… seductively?

It was driving him mad.

But… it felt good-- to look at her and feel this brewing desire to kiss her once more… and not just on her lips this time...

Saria distracted him from his thoughts by suddenly standing up. She turned back around, placing her hands behind her back and tilting from side to side again. She always fiddled a lot when trying to articulate her words.

“...Link, c-can you… s-stand up…?”

It was odd that such a simple request caused her to stutter so maddeningly though.

Regardless,he did as he was told, and soon learned why she had grown so shaky.

Even though many years had passed, his trusty Kokiri clothing had never failed him. It had sustained quite a beating over the years, but he always made sure to patch it up whenever he could. It was his signature garb… and a way to remember home.

...and Saria... had just unclipped his belt, and was in the midst of pulling down his leggings...

He was completely immobilized by her sudden action, granting her all the time she needed to fight past her nerves and reveal what she had felt pushing up against her butt.

Once again, the size difference between the two was made extraordinarily notable. He was vastly taller than her, essentially being twice her size… but this meant his crotch aligned perfectly with her head. Saria gasped in shock as pulling down his leggings made his cock spring into view, and she was completely and utterly mesmerized.

“...y-you really are a l-lot bigger…” she tried to joke, but her nervousness had increased tenfold.

This was certainly not the kind of childhood friend reunion he had expected, but he wasn’t complaining one bit.

Especially when, guided by nothing but her insatiable lust, she licked the tip, causing both parties to shiver.

Link was shocked by how a mere lick could emit such a warm, fuzzy, and oh-so-pleasurable feeling from within… nor was he prepared for the effect it would have on Saria.

Simply tasting his member for the first time amplified her aroused state dramatically, and with it, she quickly started to barrage it with countless kisses, captivated by the way it throbbed. She wrapped her tiny hand around it, keeping it pointed skyward while she made her way down his mass, slobbering all over it messily.

It didn’t really taste of anything, but Saria found it delicious all the same. She was delighted to hear him hum and groan, and this encouraged her efforts. Ultimately, her thirst led her to pushing her lips against his cock, and miraculously, the head managed to slip in. She was well aware he was perhaps a little too big for her, but that fact didn’t demoralise her-- it excited her. Link watched in awe as his head slipped into her astonishingly warm mouth, and his amazement grew when she took even more in. Saria’s limit was about half of his length, but the fact she was able to take in that much was incredibly impressive.

Placing his hands on her head informed her that he was in awe, just in case his moans weren’t suggesting that already. His grasp wasn’t firm, allowing her to experiment with what it was like to take his cock out of her mouth… only to gobble it back up right before the tip left her lips. She held onto his thighs tightly, focusing on nothing but providing him the utmost amount of pleasure… and she was achieving her goal with ease.

Link had no idea he could feel this good. Saria’s mouth was compact, and he could feel every part of it tickle his member. Her tongue was soft and squishy and felt divine against his length, and whenever she sucked in, her cheeks tickled every inch of his cock. He didn’t feel her teeth too much, but they were like small intoxicating nibbles whenever present, sending delightful shivers down his spine. The full package was heavenly.

“S-Saria… this feels… so good…” he had to say something, even if he was aware his voice was distorted beyond belief.

His praise paid off. Saria, fueled by even more encouragement and excitement, sped up her bobs. How she was able to do all this without choking was beyond him (and her)… but was he complaining? Of course not.

...she really wasn’t gagging at all, was she?

Link never believed he would ever think about being rough with her… but he couldn’t get the thought out of his head.

Thus, he increased the strength of his grip on her head, and started to thrust.

This completely threw off Saria’s rhythm… but she didn’t mind.

She was having so much fun sucking his cock, fascinated by all those reactions.

...and the fact he wanted to take over and lose himself to lust…

It was so hot.

Thus, she let him do as he pleases, and she was pleasantly surprised by the results.

Controlling the level of pleasure was a power Link did not know how to comprehend nor control. All he could think about was increasing his bliss, so he started to thrust wildly and unpredictably, forcing more of his cock into her mouth than she had taken before.

It was then that Saria started to feel an urge to gag, but she did her best to resist, leading to Link’s dick being rammed down her throat at an amazing pace.

Just knowing that she had this much of an effect on him was mind-boggling in the best of ways. She wouldn’t mind letting him use her throat whenever he wanted, and she hoped she’d remember to tell him that later, and perhaps see if it would encourage him to take her right there and then.

Despite his raw size and how ruthless he was with her, Saria persevered until Link could thrust no more. He groaned loudly and suddenly, sounding like he was trying to yell her name but just couldn’t, and with it came a torrent of warm liquid surging down her throat. Saria did her best to break free from his grasp, enough to leave the head of his cock still inside her.

She didn’t do this so she could breathe easier, however.

She wanted to taste his semen, and she couldn’t exactly do that if it was bypassing her taste buds, could she?

Just as she hoped, it tasted divine. It was a salty and hot liquid-- and it just so happened she was fond of that combination.The knowledge that this was his seed was arousing her so much, and she was happy to gulp it all down to keep it safe in her tummy.

Saria knew she was secretly a very naughty girl. There was no point in denying it, especially at this point. She had fantasized so much about doing lewd things to Link, picturing him as a handsome man all grown up. Even her wildest imagination couldn’t prepare her for how sexy he actually was, and how hot it was to swallow his cum.

But she had fantasized about a lot more than that.

Link, exhausted by dumping load after load of cum into Saria’s boiling mouth, collapsed back onto the stump, breathing heavily.

But Saria wasn’t done with him yet.

“Liiiiiink…” she purred.

Link rubbed his blurry eyes, and what he saw enchanted him. Saria was stripping hastily, revealing her small, lewd body without any shame. He had never seen her expose any skin but her legs, so to see her small chest and her tantalizing hips left him awestruck. He honestly believed she would be as slim as she was small, but this girl boasted some womanly features while remaining charmfully youthful. It was the best of both worlds.

After discarding her belt, jumper and shorts, she was left in the nude aside from her boots. He continued to stare, and although nerves were returning with a vengeance, she was happy to pose seductively for him.

He couldn’t decide what he liked the most. Her silky smooth legs? The small bumps that were her breasts and her erect nipples? The lingering cum leaking out of her mouth and slithering down her chin?

Then she turned around, showing off her cute and surprisingly chubby butt, answering his question.

Saria bent over against the pillar in front of the temple and giggled, though her voice was awfully jittery. “Link… I want you… inside me…”

He was more than happy to fulfill her request. He was about to ask for the same thing, after all.

However, when he stood up and approached her, he discovered an interesting problem.

Saria’s head aligned perfectly with his crotch, but bent over like this…?

It wouldn’t work. She was far too small, and it would be awkward for him to bend down so much.

But an idea came to mind quickly.

Saria yelped when his hands wrapped around her and he lifted her up. She was light and no match for his strength, and while he could take her like this if he wanted to, he had a better idea in mind.

He moved her over to her favorite spot, placing her on the tree stump. What was usually her seat worked as the perfect height increase for her, allowing Link to grant her wish.

Link wasn’t particularly experienced, but he knew the gist of what he had to do. When he attempted to plunge inside her, however, he missed his mark, sliding his cock between her thighs… which still felt surprisingly nice.

Saria wasn’t displeased at all. Seeing his dick poking out from between her legs was hot, not to mention how terrifically teasing it was to feel his member sliding against her pussy. Link’s instincts led him to start thrusting between her legs, and he was able to do so with ease because his lover was completely drenched. The fluid leaking out of her pussy and dripping down her legs, paired with the saliva covering his cock, served as enough lubrication for him to fuck her thighs.

“Link… you’re so big…” she cooed, thankful this kind of act didn’t completely wreck her voice.

The Hero of Time was hooked on how this all felt, and he hadn’t even penetrated her yet! He could not fathom the idea that sex was bound to feel greater, but he was especially eager to experience it.

His timing was good as well, for Saria was craving him just as much.

“...it’s my first time, so… be gentle, okay?” she warned him, speaking the words she didn’t have time to say earlier. It was lucky he had missed his target!

This brought some sense of reason back to the hero. As tempting as it was to force himself in and pound her wildly, he had to take into account her comfort. He had gotten carried away during the blowjob; luckily, it was something she liked, but he couldn’t bank on her being so resistant to sex. He was more than aware first-time sex could be painful for the girl too, and considering the size difference… well, it was definitely going to hurt. Regardless, he knew Saria was a strong girl, so long as he played his part correctly, it would all be fine.

Link took his time, opting to slide his cock up and down her pussy so she could accustom to how everything felt one step at a time. When she gazed back with plead in her eyes, he knew it was okay to start. It took some additional time to find where he was supposed to penetrate, no doubt her small frame a contributor to that, but when his cock began to sink in suddenly, he was instantly in awe at how outrageously hot her insides were.

Saria shuddered at the surreal sensations, but was managing to gradually adjust to how being opened up so much felt. She had Link’s tenderness to thank; to think she had been tempted not to warn him and let him go wild! She would have been in a world of hurt if she had done that, and it would have made everything awkward. Fortunately, this pace was suiting her just fine. He was pushing in an inch at a time, pausing to make sure she wasn’t distressed. This was the Link she knew and loved, and while she adored that new untamed side she had recently discovered too, that would come in time.

“...are you okay?” he whispered, clearly concerned.

She nodded without hesitation.

“...it’s intense,” she confessed. “But… I’m okay.”

“Are you sure…?” he asked.

“I am,” she answered, giggling a little. “I promise you.”

Saria’s heart adored how concerned he sounded. She had to do her part to speak truthfully to him, and reassure him to the best of her ability.

Link was glad to hear her response. By this point, about half of his cock was inside her. He had asked because he had discovered a little blood leaking out of her, and though he knew that was normal, he was still worried he had gone too far.

Part of him was still completely flabbergasted that he was doing something like this, but he figured he’d have time to think about this all later. Right now, his priority was giving her the time of her life.

Although the difference in size was tremendously hot, it did restrict how much he could fit inside her. Link’s cock was tickling her cervix with still a few inches left to go, but he didn’t mind that. Her insides still felt good. More than good! Her walls were squeezing him almost painfully, but it was a threshold he was enjoying, and the humidity of her pussy was unreal too. Link was understanding why he had heard so many good things about sex. Despite it only beginning, he already knew what he liked most about it.

He liked that it was with her. With Saria.

It wouldn't have felt as good with anyone else.

Saria wasn’t thinking too differently from her new lover. It was both painful and pleasurable to be opened up so much, but the latter was becoming more prominent. All her sensitive spots were tickling his sensitive spots, and the resulting bliss was unlike anything she had ever experienced before. Her fingers couldn’t do this. She was a little scared-- but that was only because she feared she might get addicted to Link’s cock and become a truly naughty girl.

...but she didn’t mind that notion, and she doubted he would either.

“Liiiiiiink…” she purred once more. “Please…”

He knew what she wanted, and was happy to deliver.

Pulling out was almost as immensely intoxicating as the initial penetration. Every fiber of his body begged him to push back in, missing the decreasing warmth, and eventually, he fulfilled those demands and experienced tranquility. The motion of pulling out and pushing back in… he had never experienced anything grander.

So he did it again… and again… and again…

Saria knew he was beginning to lose himself to pleasure… but she was all for it. It didn’t hurt anymore, and the only thing she desired was something he was already giving her-- a rough pounding.

Link was thrusting with all his might, overwhelmed by how it all felt. Not only that, but he was visually and audibly treated well too. Saria’s butt jiggled with each thrust, and her moans were almost deafening. She was being rammed so hard that she was beginning to lose her balance, but Link fixed this problem promptly by holding her by the wrists while he pounded her. Treating her so forcefully felt so wrong, but also so right. They both needed this, so, so much!

“Liiiink… Liiiiiink… LIIIIINKKK!”

Saria’s climax came immediately after her screams of joy. Her pussy was already on the verge of suffocating him, but it was now tightening up around him so much that his cock was practically sealed inside her. As she spasmed like crazy, her vigorous orgasm brought him closer and closer to the edge until he simply couldn’t take it anymore. He had no choice but to cum inside her... but he wanted to do that anyway.

Cumming inside her mouth felt fantastic, but it didn’t hold a candle to filling up her pussy. The heat was extraordinary, and his warm seed was doing a good job at heating her up even more while he poured her womb with semen, not stopping until he was satisfied he had likely filled it up.

The moment ended as quickly as he came. Link, overwhelmed by exhaustion, begrudgingly slipped out of her, falling down to the meadow below. The grass was luckily comforting, and when Saria ended up stumbling on top of him, he embraced her in a firm hug.

“...hehe… that was… really fun…” she giggled, sounding strangely stable.

“It was…" he admitted.

“...hehe… now you have even more reason to stay in Hyrule!” she continued to joke. It was clear she still had a little fear that he’d leave her again… but he had no intention of doing so.

Saria was the love of his life, wasn’t she?

It was about time he told her that.

“Saria… I love you.”

She didn’t respond, but that was only because she was squealing.

“R-Really?!” she gazed up at him with awe in her eyes. “I… I love you too, Link…”

It was inevitable that they found themselves kissing once more, though this embrace was simple and clean due to how drained they were.

It was also fate that led them to falling asleep together, surrounded by nothing but the sanctuary of the forest. It wasn’t exactly a traditional spot, but they both fell into a deep slumber, safe in each other’s arms.

Link was used to sleeping with one eye a little open, just in case.

But not this time. He slept soundly without any disturbance.

After all, he was finally home, reunited with the most important woman of his life.
