~Epilogue, Part 1: A Hylian Wedding~
"Come, Link! You must hurry! Everybody's waiting to start!" Impa shouted as she grabbed Link's arm.
"Oof! Impa, slow down! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Ow ow ow!" Link cried out.
"Ooh, sorry, Link. I forgot about your injuries." Impa smiled. Today is the wedding day of the Hero of Time and the Princess of Destiny, Impa thought to herself.
"Impa, what's wrong?" Link asked her.
"Hm? Oh, it's nothing. Now, come on! We have to hurry!" Impa stopped again. "But slowly, Mr. Hero!" she said with a smile. The two made their way to the Temple of Time as quickly as they could for Link's sake.
They arrived at the entrance to the Temple of Time. This time, however, it didn't look the same as Link had remembered. The entrance was covered with white folded paper flowers and white bows, with lots of white ribbon to tie it all up. A row of lights and more white flowers covered the path to the door.
"Link, I want to congratulate you," Impa said as she stopped in front of Link. "You've saved Hyrule again, and who knows how many more times you will? But I also want to warn you..." Impa's expression became angry. "Take care of her, or I'll..." she raised a clenched fist. Her expression became soft again. She smiled and said, "Well, shall we go on, then?" A sweatdrop fell behind Link's head to the back of his neck. He chuckled nervously.
"Don't worry, Impa. You know I'll never forgive myself if I ever let anything happen to her," Link replied. The two nodded at the same time, then made their way into the temple.
Inside the temple, wooden churchy seats had been inserted, with the typical bows and ribbons blocking off the rows' ends. The original alter with the three spiritual stones in place was being used for the wedding today. Waiting patiently by that alter was Daddy Hyrule, the King himself, looking very cheerfully at Impa, then smugly at Link. He seemed to change his expression to cheerful, though, to make Link less nervous. Impa and Link walked down the aisle and met the King.
"Take care of her, Link," the King whispered to him as he took his place beside his future father. Link nodded in his direction. Impa stood on the other side of the King, taking her place as a bridesmaid.
As the royal string quintet began playing Zelda's Lullaby, Impa began crying before the bride even made an appearance. Suddenly, the doors flew open and there was the princess, looking marvelous in her white, princess-y wedding dress (only this time WITHOUT the deadly poisonous mask). Link beamed at the sight of her. The two locked eyes and once they did, neither removed their gaze from the other for even a split second. The king smiled dumbly; everyone knew he had been dreading this moment since the day she was born.
Once Zelda took her place next to Link, the quartet finished playing and everyone took their seats. The ceremony began, and it couldn't have been any more beautiful.
"Do you, Link, take my daughter, the Princess Zelda to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the King asked Link. Link gulped.
"I do," he said firmly, never taking his eyes off his beloved bride.
"Do you, Princess Zelda, take Link to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Zelda blushed, also not removing her eyes from her beloved.
"I do," she said rather girlishly.
"The rings, please," the King asked as he turned to Impa. Impa handed him two rings, one with an emerald on it, and the other plain but both with inscriptions on them. "Thank you. Now, repeat after me." He handed one ring to Link.
"I, Link, take Zelda to be my lawfully wedded wife. To have and to hold from this day forward; in sickness and in health, in the good times and bad; I promise to love, honour, and cherish you 'till death do us part." Link said it perfectly with a sureness of himself. He slipped the ring on Zelda's finger and gave her a small smile. The King gave Zelda the other ring.
"I, Zelda, take Link to be my lawfully wedded husband. To have and to hold from this day forward; in sickness and in health, in the good times and bad; I promise to love, honour, and cherish you 'till death do us part." Zelda slipped the ring on Link's finger, then took his hand in hers. They both turned to the King.
"With the power vested in me as the king-" he paused. "-the former king of Hyrule... sooner or later, anyway..." he shrugged. "I now pronounce you man and wife, and soon to be king and queen. You may kiss your bride, Link." He gave a smile to the two, but they weren't paying attention. Link tipped Zelda over in an elegant dip and kissed her fiercely. The two stood up, beamed, and the royal string quintet started up on the Hyrule Field theme. The two left the temple rather quickly, and hopped in their carriage. The King ran out, wanting to say goodbye.
"Hang on, Link. I want to say goodbye to daddy," she said, kissing him on the cheek. She got out of the carriage and ran to her father. "Bye, daddy," she said sweetly as she gave her father a huge hug.
"Bye, sweetheart. Have a good time with your husband." Zelda kissed him on the cheek, then ran back to the awaiting carriage. "Take care of her... son," he said to Link, beaming. Link flashed him a smile and nodded. Zelda hopped in, and the carriage took off speedily toward the Zora wetlands.
