Zelda had woken up to find Link's arms wrapped around her from behind. She smiled to herself as he snuggled closer and pressed his cheek against her skin whilst he was still sleeping. The Rito bed was probably the most comfiest bed she had ever slept in, and she wondered if she could get one for herself.

Zelda was looking forward to the day. They were going to trekking up in Hebra mountain, and have their noses frozen off by the bitter cold. But it was going to be fun. As long as they were together, it was ok.

The Queen slipped out of Link's grasp, and wrapped her dressing gown around her body. She then watched as the General attempted to hug the air, then pat the empty space next to him with a frown. He opened one eye and looked at Zelda, who was smiling warmly at him.

"Good morning." She greeted.

"Morning." He yawned as he sat up and stretched his arms, the bed sheets slipping down his bare chest.

"I'm pretty sure you've done more sleeping than anything else on this trip." Zelda chuckled as she perched on the bed next to him.

"It's supposed to be relaxing..."

"Come on, get up, then we can spend the whole day up in Hebra mountains."

Link awkwardly reached for his pants, which were lying on the floor, then once he slipped them on, he threw the bed sheets off of himself and sprung off the bed, punching the air with glee.

"Someone's happy today." Zelda remarked.

"When you wake up, you're supposed to do something dramatic like that so you feel more awake and happy." Link replied, "Anyway, I fancy some egg for breakfast."

"Link, don't say that in front of the Rito!" The Queen hissed.

"Ok, whatever... I'm going to put on some warm clothes so we can get a move on."

***********

After they had eaten breakfast, Link and Zelda made their way up to Hebra mountain, and they were met with the icy cold. Link was dressed in his Rito gear, and Zelda was dressed in her royal winter gear.

"I-It's cold..." Zelda stated through chattering teeth.

They walked through the ankle-high snow, which glistened in the sun. There was something magical about the mountains which always compelled Link to come and explore it. He always felt very lost up in the snow, but he felt lost in an adventurous way, and that's what he loved so much about it. Now he could share this feeling with Zelda, and they could get lost together.

"Oh hey, look at this!" he exclaimed as he crouched down in the snow.

"What is it?" Zelda asked as she bent down to see.

Link smirked as he took a handful of snow and threw it in her face.

"Why you-"

The Queen growled as she clumped a ball of snow and lobbed it at him, hitting him in the face.

"Oh... It's on." Link muttered.

He cupped the snow in his hands, and Zelda squealed as she ran away, Link in hot pursuit. She ran into a frosty forest, and the General lost sight of her. Just as he was about to call out to her, he felt a large mound of snow being dumped onto him. He fell to the floor, and just before Zelda could flee, he grabbed her ankle, and sent her tumbling to the ground as well. They locked eyes as they began scrambling in the snow, trying to make the biggest snowball before the other. Zelda staggered to her feet with a giant snowball between her arms, and as she dropped it on Link, she fell on top of him due to the weight of the snowball.
