The bond was almost instantaneous, the main factor being the fact they were close together in age. Becoming playmates between battles was nothing short of natural. Prior to their meeting, the younger Link had never seen a yo-yo before, and Ness had never heard of an ocarina. It was an enlightening experience for both of them.

As the days rolled by, the pair was nearly inseparable, always finding new ways to have fun and pass the time, whether it was archery, baseball, or chasing the various Pokémon around.

And it was one of these regular, quiet days that, while building castles on the sands of the Great Bay, without much thought, the young Link leaned over the pile of sand and planted the briefest of kisses on his companion’s lips, then quickly scurried away in a bout of confusion and embarrassment.

Sitting in the sand, Ness lifted his hand to his lips in pure thoughtfulness. His first kiss had just been stolen, and strangely enough, he didn’t mind at all.
