OH MY GOD! It's the last chapter! I'm so happy! I mean, I'm sad because it's over, but I'm happy because I actaully finished it! But whatever, go on and read. I'll bore you some at the bottom. Go enjoy the final chapter of Just Your Basic Love Story!

Zelda nodded, it was time. The music was playing and she could see everyone stand up in their seat. She took another deep (pointless) breath, tried to control her rapid heart beat, and then the church doors were slide open.

Zelda felt her father squeeze her arm, trying to comfort her as she became tense. Zelda began to walk slowly with him, eyes on the royal blue carpet that lead to the alter. After calming her nerves, she looked up and saw everyone smiling at her, proud of their princess. She returned a few smiles before looking straight ahead, trying to have her eyes land on Link.

There he was. His eyes were wide with amazement and his smile was even wider. The usually piercing blue eyes he had were now softer, filled with what Zelda could only define as love. He took a deep breath as he saw her walking down the aisle, she looked so beautiful that it left him stunned.

After what seem liked an eternity, the king and princess finally reached the alter where Link stood. Zelda's father turned to her and his silver-blue eyes had tears in them as he removed her veil and placed a kiss on her forehead, "Beautiful," he whispered to her. She smiled as he shook hands with Link, then placed Zelda's hand in her fiancée's.

Link and her turned to the priest, who began his long speak, beginning with, "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..."

"You look breath-taking," Link whispered, quiet enough so the priest couldn't hear. Zelda blushed and said he looked pretty good himself to which he replied, "It's the hair. Did you know you're supposed to comb it everyday?"

Zelda tried not to laugh, "Are you aware that taking deep breaths does absolutely nothing at all?" She asked, whispering as well.

Link just smirked, "Oh well, what can you do about it?"

The two stopped talking, and began to pay attention to the ceremony. It was beautiful, the priest spoke some prayers in ancient Hyrule (Link was totally lost during them, but Zelda understood every word), and by the time of the vows, Zelda had tears in her light blue eyes.

Link was chosen to go first to recite his vows. He took a deep breath, smirked because Zelda said they were pointless, grabbed her hands, and looked her deep in the eyes, "Zelda, I have loved you since we were children. I've loved you as long as I can remember, and I plan to love you until the day I die. I stand here today, honestly terrified, in front of all these people to give myself to you in the only way I know how. Marriage. I was never one to stay in one place for long, I would travel far and wide, but I would always return to Hyrule for one reason. That reason is you. Now I have no reason to ever leave again, because I now have you forever. To which I am eternally thankful to the Goddesses. Zelda, I promise to love you for the rest of our life together. The life that starts today."

Zelda couldn't help it, a single tear fell down her face. She heard some other people in the crowd also crying, including Mirabelle, who was on the front row. Link just smiled at Zelda, whose turn it was to read her vows.

"The princess falling in love with the hero, it's such a cliche love story told by many. But this, Link, what we have, is so much more than just a tale mothers tell their children at night. Our love have changed my life completely. I once would just go around my day, not paying mind to anything. But after I fell in love with you, I noticed every small detail. And every small detail would remind me of you. Link, I love you with everything I am and possibly can be. I promise to stand by your side as your wife, your queen, and most importantly, your friend through anything that comes our way," Zelda finished, her voice cracking a bit at the end.

Link locked eyes with her, and the smile he gave her took her breath away. He was truly happy, that's what his smile said. Zelda wanted nothing more than to kiss him but she knew she had to wait until the ceremony was over.

"If any person can show just cause of why they should not be joined together...speak now, or forever hold your peace," The priest said, pausing for a moment. Everyone held their breath, and Link eyed Ilia warily, who was sitting with her arms crossed and mouth tight. When no one object, the priest continued, asking for the rings.

Ashton walked up, presenting the two golden rings, before quickly hugging Zelda and going back to his seat, The crowd aww'd and Zelda smiled at her soon-to-be-nephew. Link repeated after the priest and then slipped the little golden band onto Zelda's ring finger, grinning lopsidedly. Zelda then put the ring on Link's finger, her cheeks blushing and she began to bit herlip.

"Link Kokiri , do you take Zelda Harkinian to be your wife? Do you promise to be true to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and honor her all the days of your life?" The priest asked, aiming his attention toward Link.

Link nodded, "I do."

Happiness overwhelmed Zelda. The only thing that she could think about was Link. How amazing he was, how sweet, kind, funny, and well...sexy he was. How happy she was that in just a few moments they would seal the rest of their life together with a kiss. She didn't even hear what the priest was saying, she just knew that it was her cue to say the following words, "I do."

Link smiled that smile again, and Zelda all but went weak in the knees. "Then I now pronounce you husband and wife. Link, you may now kiss the bride," the priest announced, smiling in delight. Link leaned forward and tucked a stray piece of blonde hair behind Zelda's ear. He took her face into his hands gently before place his lips on hers.

The church went wild with cheers and applause but Zelda was only focused on the feeling of Link's warm, soft lips. She never realized this before but he tasted like peppermint. And oh, how Zelda loves the taste of peppermint.

When they parted, the claps and chants grew even louder, and Zelda just smiled and waved at everyone. Link saw his entire family, they were also now Zelda's family, in the front row, clapping the loudest along with Link's new father-in-law. Over all the commotion, Link made out Luke yelling, "Yeah buddy! OW OW!"

But Link just looked at Zelda again, and whispered in her ear, "The practice last night was definitely worth it."

The room were the reception was being held was huge, Link thought to himself as he and Zelda entered, arm-to-arm, for the first time as husband and wife. It was decorated lavishly, with royal blue and deep purple curtains draped over the white stone wall. Hundreds of people filled the round tables, all surrounding what he assumed was the dance floor. The main table was separated from the rest, while still remaining in view. Link lead his wife toward there, loving the way "his wife" sounded in his head.

She really did look amazing though. Link still couldn't believe that he had somehow ended up with this beautiful princess, he felt like he was dreaming. But he knew he wasn't, because suddenly it was announced that it was time for their first dance.

Link gulped, dancing.

"Come on hero, relax," Zelda teased, as the music began to play. He just glared at her good-naturedly, smirking slightly. "So? How does it feel to be a married man?" She asked while carefully avoiding having Link step on her toes.

Link groaned quietly "Absolutely horrible! Is it too late to get out of this mess?" Zelda just stuck her tongue out at him, so he kissed her cheek to ease any hard feelings, "I'm kidding. It feels...well, I'll letcha know after all this happiness wears off. If it ever does."

They continued dancing, talking, and teasing until the song ended and Zelda was whisked away by her father.

To Link, the night flew by. He danced with Rosie, Mirabelle, Jill, and plenty of others. He tried not to tear up at all during the king's speech just as much as he tried not to attack Luke during his speech. Even people he didn't know came up to him, just to say hello "Shark Boy", much to Zelda's entertainment. Link got his revenge for her laughing at him though, when he smashed the cake directly into her face. Revenge really is sweet, he thought to himself.

Soon the night was dying down, and slowly people began to say their good-byes and make their way home. A few people remained on the floor, including Zelda's good friend, Malon, and her alleged "soulmate", Marth. Link found the couple rather amusing to watch, for Malon had bright red hair while Marth had a blue, almost purple-ish head of hair. But eventually they said congrats one more time before making their departure.

Most of Link's family already left to take care of the kids, but Luke and Jill were still there. Jill and Zelda were talking while Luke was raiding the large table full of food one last time. Link was standing awkwardly in the corner, talking to one of Zelda's cousins who was a bit eccentric. He was telling Link, quite animatedly, about his fascination with forest fairies. Link looked around the room, desperate for someone to save him from his newest family member.

"Hey Tingle, how are things back home?" Zelda asked, coming to Link's rescue. Link shot her a grateful look before making his escape to Luke.

Zelda soon joined them, and the four young adults were soon the only people left in the once filled room. "You royal folks sure do know how to throw a pretty snazzy shindig," Luke commented, grinning at his wording.

"Yeah well it took long enough to plan," Zelda sighed, remembering the past few weeks. Link kissed her cheek, reassuring her that it was all worth it. She was going to mention how all this work wasn't needed, she would have married him in a barn for all she cared, but now was not the time.

Jill began to compliment Zelda's dress before Luke cut in, "Yeah, it's a nice dress and all but let's not get Zel to attached to it, alright? Or else Linky's never gonna be able to get it off of her tonight," He said with a wink.

Zelda flushed red and Link looked like he was going to strangle his friend. Luke just shrugged, obviously not phased by Link's threatening eyes. It did remind Zelda though, of what would be happening later tonight. She flushed again, thinking of all the scenarios she had thought of when she had a break from planning.

"Alright you two, quit that," Jill warned the boys, who had gotten into a mini wrestling match. Link released Luke from his chokehold, dusting himself off as he approached his new wife and friend. Jill smiled, pleased that they actually listened, "Well...we'll be leaving now then. It was a beautiful wedding, you guys. I'm so happy for both of you, congratulations again."

She hugged Zelda tightly and gave Link a quick kiss on the cheek. Luke whined, "We have to go? But I have so many dirty jokes I still need to embarrass them with!" Jill shot him a look and he quickly said, "Fine. Congrats, you two love birds. Don't have too much fun tonight." He kissed Zelda's cheek and shook Link's hand.

Just as their friends left, Link's hand reached for Zelda's. She turned to him and they just looked at each other for a long moment, lost in their own thoughts. They both slowly began to lean towards one another, but before their lips met, a voice interrupted, "Okay guys, I just thought of something brilliant!"

"Luke, get out of here!" Link cried, throwing the dark haired boy a rude hand gesture.

Luke looked mock offended, "Hey buddy, save this magic fingers of yours for later, don't waste it all on me!" He smirked before continuing, "But serious, you got to hear this."

"What is it?" Link asked, annoyed.

"Are you sure you're ready for it? I mean, my rhyming skills tend to leave people speechless sometimes."

"Just say it!"

Luke grinned, "You know what? Never mind now, you hurt my feelings. Have a nice night you two," he said before walking away.

Link turned back to Zelda, rolling his eyes. She just shrugged, smiling ,"Don't mind him. Now...where were we?" But once again, right before their lips touched, Luke called out one more thing.

"Be gentle with her Kinky Linky!"

Link groaned loudly, and was about to call something back but Zelda stopped him. She pulled his face closer, "Don't, or else he'll keep interrupting this," she said before finally kissing her husband. She'd never admit it, but she had her heart set on finding out whether or not Link's new nicknamed suited him well.

Zelda woke up the next morning wrapped in the warm arms of her blonde hero. She opened her eyes and mentally aww'ed to herself at the sight of his sleeping face. Then she mentally melted inside at the sight of his bare chest. She'd never get used to the perfectness of it, she thought. Slowly Link's eyes opened and he grinned lazily at her, murmuring a good morning.

Suddenly he laughed, causing Zelda to jump at the randomness of it. She raised her eyebrows and he just chuckled, "Nothing, I just...still can't believe we got married yesterday. It all seems so...surreal," he said, pulling her closer to him.

Zelda blushed. Partly because of what he said and partly because she realized they both weren't clothed. She pushed that thought out of her mind though before she got too carried away. She just kissed him lightly, "I know what you mean. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it too,"

They just laid there in silence for a few minutes, sometimes looking at each other and sometimes closing their eyes, and Zelda realized a few things in that time.

1. Somehow Link manage to never have morning breath, which amazed Zelda to no end.

2. Link was incredibly pleasant to wake up to. Not only was he warm, but he also was never cranky, and his face was a pretty decent sight to see first thing too.

3. Zelda would have been perfectly contempt to just stay in this bed for the rest of her life. Just feeling Link's heat radiate from his body, hearing his soft breathing, having his arms wrapped around her...She would be set for life.

4. Last night was the...

"Thank you," Link whispered, cutting off her thoughts. She just looked at him weirdly, not too sure of why he was thanking her.

"For what?"

Link didn't answer right away. Instead he brushed his fingers along Zelda's neck, causing goose bumps to appear on the areas his fingers just touched. He seemed deep in thought, as of unsure of how he was going to word it. "For being you," he said finally.

Zelda stared into his eyes, trying to make sense of his words. Why would he be thanking her for that? It wasn't like she was trying to be herself, it usually just sort of happens. He smiled, "I suppose that doesn't really make sense, does it?"

Zelda shook her head, "Nope."

Link smiled again, only raising one side of his mouth, "Right. Let me rephrase. Thank you for being you. A wonderful, amazing, stunning, lovely woman. Thank you for being so beautiful that every time I look at you, I feel as though I have to pinch myself to make sure you're real. Thank you for being so kind that not only your country adores you, but so does my little niece who can't seem to get enough of you. Thank you for being so fascinating, that even after all these years of knowing you, I still never get tired of talking to you,"

At this point Zelda didn't know how to reply, she could only smile like an idiot, but that didn't matter because Link wasn't finished. "Zelda, thank you for being worth all of it. I wasn't lying when I said I've loved you since we were kids. I always knew you were the one for me, even when I wasn't sure you knew who I was. Thank you for being so...just amazing that I held onto the smallest little bit of hope I could manage just so maybe we could be together someday. And here we are, you're stuck with me forever now so I got my hope. I just want to thank you for being you, my wife."

Zelda had tears in her eyes by now, he was just too wonderful for words. He could make her feel so warm and fuzzy inside and again she wondered how she got so lucky. Instead of pondering that statement any longer, Zelda pulled Link toward her and kissed him with everything she could. There was that taste of peppermint again, she thought gleefully to herself.

A few moments later, they pulled apart and she whispered, "I don't know if you caught on...but I was trying to fit a whole long speech about how truly perfect my husband is into that kiss."

Link chuckled, "I think I got that much out of it. But I may need a reminder later. Say it again though."

"Say what again? That you're truly perfect?" Zelda asked, cuddling closer to Link's warm body.

He shook his head, "No, the 'my husband' part'," he said.

She just smiled, he doesn't realizes how cute he is. Zelda pressed her lips against his again before whispering, "My husband."

"And not Ilia's?" He teased.

Zelda scoffed, "No way. She wishes that Kinky Linky was her husband," she teased right back. Link's face turned bright red and he began to stutter random vowel sounds before Zelda shushed him, "Don't worry. To me, you'll always be Shark Boy."

Link made a face before shrugging, "Hmm. The shark boy falling for the princess in disguise. Not exactly your basic love story...but hey, it's got some charm, right?"

It's over. Done. Fini! What did you all think? I know, I know, the ending was sooooo cheesy but everyone loves cheese, right? That's what I thought!
