A/N: Well... here I am again! So many people encouraged me and I didn't resist to write another Zelink fic... thanks to everyone. Well, this idea came to me when I was reading the manga (*_*) *cough* Link is soooo cute there *cough* and there ARE many signs of Zelink romance there. Link... when Link discovers who Sheik is and... and... I almost cried. Well, enjoy.

Prologue

Zelda was showing Hyrule to her fiancée, Prince Marth. It was booooring to do so. It wasn't like the times when she, as Sheik walked in Hyrule, while helping Link. Link. Where was he? He disappeared 7 years ago. 7 years. The same time he passed inside the Sacred Realm because of her. 7 years he lost because of her. So she returned him back. But sometimes she wondered... was it the right thing? It hurted her deeply and she could tell it hurted him too. He said he'd help her to rebuild Hyrule, but, as Sheik she heard about the seven years he lost. And she wanted him to have them.

"Where are we?" Prince Marth asked.

"We're in the Forest." Zelda replied "Here is where the Kokiri live."

"What are the Kokiri?" he asked.
"They are beeing who never grow up. They will always be children." She replied. Why did she had to marry? Why couldn't she be single forever?

"Oh... so... they only know things children do..." he said.

"NO!" Zelda shouted "They're very wise and kind." Then she heard a noise. "What was that?"

"I dunno." Marth said "Should we check?" Zelda nodded in reply. They gave some steps and then... they found a kokiri... holding a mask. A mask with spikes, yellow eyes and purple face.

"Yes... I'm alive again... After that unfortunate event in Termina... FINALLY!" the Kokiri said. Zelda gasped. The kokiri didn't talk like that. Something strange was happening. "Oh, the Princess... I remember to hear your name said by him..." the kokiri said. Zelda was surprised. Him? What did the kokiri mean?

"What are you saying?" she asked.

"You were the one who gave him the object to destroy me... it's all your fault, foolish Princess!" the Kokiri said. Zelda gasped. The object she gave? Could that person be... Link? Link... Link was fighting again, against new dangers... He couldn't keep himself away from those things. Maybe he was meant to be the Hero of other lands besides Hyrule.

"Link..." she whispered.

"YES! That little runt defeated me first... but he won't do that again... I'm stronger now..." the Kokiri said "And now, I want to be sure you won't be on my way, just like him. GO TO TERMINA!" he said. Then, Zelda felt the ground under her feet disappearing. And she fell. What did the Kokiri mean with those things? She kept falling. Then, she hit the ground. She remembered nothing more.

"Come on, Epona..." Link whispered to his horse "Didn't you have enough?" the horse turned her head to him, as a reply. "Well... just eat while I walk around... Don't leave this place!" he ordered. He walked, walked and walked. The Termina Fields were large. Not was large as Hyrule's, but still large. Oh, Hyrule... good times. But he was stuck in this parallel dimention, whith the same people he met in Hyrule. But there was someone who was not here. Someone he missed dearly. Zelda... Of course not only her... the Sages, too. The Kokiri. But he missed Zelda very much. Why, after all the fight against Ganon she had to send him back? Why? Then he saw someone lying in the middle of the Field. He ran to that figure and kneeled next to her. He saw the hair. Some golden locks were in front of the eyes. The fair skin was the same he knew before.

"Zelda..." he whispered.
