Love takes time. So, so much long, agonizing time. We were separated too long ago, spirited away by the will of the forest. Each day, while the dew is still fresh and the ancient spirits slumber, I begin my search for her. Each day, stretching my body to the limit. Each day, setting out slowly, thorough in my search. Each day, the weight of my home and possessions pressing down on my back. My home isn’t much, but I do hope she…

Too often I think people come to the same assumption about Link and Zelda’s relationship as they do of Mario and Peach’s. In the Super Mario Bros. games, we see the same story over and over for the most part; Peach gets captured by Bowser and Mario is on an epic quest to save her. He endures great hardship and trial to make it to her, and all for the sake of love. That love was even more manifest in…

Please, Don’t Wake Up I know your world awaits your return, that you were never meant to be here. Once you open your eyes, I know that you will disappear, never to look back.   It pains me to realize that I shall never again cast a glance upon you. You shall never again listen to my song, and my voice will fade into the winds.   So, please, don’t wake up.   Perhaps it is selfish of me to…

In what free time I’ve had, I have been busy completing the armor for my dear friend. I hope to the Goddess that Link is pleased. I hope that the blue I chose will remind him of Zora’s Domain, and I hope that the adornments and gemstones remind him of me. Though, I cannot allow myself to get too caught up in my emotions that I do not do a good job. This is for Link, after all. I have…

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you may find it challenging to find the right gift for your significant other.

But what if you had the opportunity to give your loved one a gift that is truly unforgettable? Let’s say you come across a inter-dimensional Beedle of…

Gorgeous Red-Haired Dancer in West Clock Town (Clock Town) I know you’re probably only in town for the Carnival of Time, so hopefully you see this before the carnival concludes. You and your sister have been practicing in West Clock Town for the last few nights, and I’ve been sort of… a silent spectator. I just can’t help it. You’re so lovely and talented. I feel lucky to have been an unofficial audience for your rehearsals. And you’re so good…

“When we were young, you and I… You were always there… You were always beside me…” – Ilia to Link Every single person has moments in their life when they ask: “What If?” Self examination and reflection is an unavoidable part of life. These “What If’” moments often come with pivotal life decisions like where we choose to live, who we are friends with, and who fall in love with (or fall out of love with). As someone who has…

The Zelda series has always had small flirtations with the concept of romance. Many of the 3D Zelda games have a suggested love interests for Link, such as Illia and Midna in Twilight Princess, or Saria, Malon, Princess Ruto, and Zelda in Ocarina of Time. Even Breath of the Wild — though it seemed that about everyone was romantically interested in Link — saw romance bloom between Wabbin the Hylian and Perda the Gerudo woman at Lover’s Pond. Oh, and we can’t forget the wedding between Hudson…

Hylia plopped to her haunches in exasperation, burying her face in her hands. “How do they not see…?” she mumbled under her breath, clutching the long, golden locks that framed her face.  “I don’t know what more I can do! Calamity Ganon will rise to power in no time, at this rate!” “For one thing, Your Grace,” her hero sighed, sitting next to her in the grass, “you can calm down a bit.” Hylia glared at him, and he winked…
