    Summary

    “We never discussed ground rules,” Zelda said matter-of-factly. “And we really should have.”

    Link didn’t say anything, waiting for her to continue.

    “Obviously, no one can know it’s a ruse,” Zelda said. “If anyone finds out, my father will call off his blessing, and both of us will be back to square one.”

    Link nodded.

    Zelda suddenly felt too warm, and she decided to shuffle over to her desk, which was a good distance from Link, and dig around for a piece of paper and a quill. “It’ll be good for us to write it out,” she said, more for herself than for Link, who sat on the other side of her desk expectantly.

    Why did he look like he was waiting to get marching orders? Like he might have been almost eager for it?

    She focused on writing out the first rule. “Rule number one, no one can know.” She penned the words carefully. “We have to look genuinely head over heels for each other.”

    Summary

    There’s nothing between them, she’s sure. But the problem is that if the rumors don’t die down in time, her father will find out, and then he’ll take Link away from her, too, and then she’ll never—

    Zelda doesn’t want to think about that. She stares openly at him, as if challenging him to inquire. He meets her eyes frequently, never for too long, but always with the unspoken question: What are you looking at?

    You, she wants to say. She wants to say nothing at all. She wants Link to snap her out of this unbidden fantasy, to free her mind of its most recent craze. She needs him to. She needs him to shake her out of her thoughts or the next time he tries speaking to her she’ll jump him.

    “What’s wrong?” He asks finally.

    “The entire castle thinks we’re having sex,” Zelda blurts.

    Summary

    The truth was, he never chose silence. The Master Sword had become a needle, his fate a thread; and Link could feel them working, ever so slowly, to sew his mouth shut.

    ...

    On why it took the Hero of Hyrule a century to find his voice again.
