A/N: My first Legend of Zelda short story! It'll be relatively short chapters for this one. Set in Ocarina of Time, adult Link (Future), at the Water Temple. Rated M for later content (adult language/content and detailed hetero, inter-species sexy sex). Well, hope you enjoy it! :)

I do not own The Legend of Zelda, all rights, characters, places, names, etc. belong to Nintendo, etc., etc., etc. For creative purposes only. Don't sue me.

Special thanks to Zelda Dungeon for helping me recall specific details.

Update: Contains spoilers for the Water Temple.

Hoofbeats shattered the ground like thunder as Epona soared effortlessly over the fence entering Lake Hylia. Her silver mane brushed softly against Link's cheek as she cantered past the Lakeside Laboratory. Link looked toward the majestic lake, once filled to the brim with water, now as dry and bare as the Haunted Wasteland. How horrible, he thought. Just then his eye caught a shimmer of light on water, and he looked over to find the small lake pooling by the island.

"Hey!" Navi cried.

"Yeah thanks, I got it..." Link grumbled back at her. "Hee-yah!"

He nudged Epona; she whinnied and obediently lunged forward toward their destination.

Link stood outside the Water Temple, rummaging in one of the saddlebags. I know it's in here somewhere, he thought, dumping the Megaton Hammer and Hookshot to the floor. He paused to wipe sweat off his forehead; it was a warm day and he would be glad to spend some time in the water. Aha! Link exclaimed, finally wrenching the blue tunic out of the bag and tossing it over Epona's back.

Unfastening his belt, he quickly pulled the green tunic off and stuffed it into the saddlebag. Before changing, Link lifted up his undershirt to wipe another bead of sweat from his brow, momentarily exposing his toned abs. Navi silently fell about six inches in the air, unnoticed by either Link nor Epona, who was now shaking her head and pawing at the water.

Okay, here we go! He quickly pulled the blue tunic over his head and grabbed the Hookshot, heaved on his iron boots, and jumped into the water.
