Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda, just this storyline.

This used to be a Rune Factory story, but I lost interest of the series and decided to redo it for this series. The story takes place years after Minish Cap, in the setting of Ocarina of Time.

The land of Hyrule is a peaceful ever since the Hero of Time has saved the world. The ruler of these lands' daughter, Princess Zelda, spend some time with three other girls every so often. The three other girls are Malon, the local farm girl, Saria, the Sage of Forest, and Ruto, the Sage of water. They usually had discussions on cloths, events, food, and families. All four of them happen to be in love with the Hero of Time himself, so whenever Link came into discussion, there were always arguing. They kept these arguments a secret to almost everyone, especially Link. After fighting with them for months, Zelda began to feel tired of all the arguing, so she hatched a plan and decided to discuss it with the others on they're next meeting.

Princess Zelda waited in her for the rest of the group. Malon arrived first, then Ruto. They had to wait half an hour for Saria to arrive.

"Saria? Where've you been?" Ruto asked impatiently.

"Sorry, Ruto. Link wanted to talked with me." Saria responded.

"Speaking of Link," Zelda started, "I actually have an idea for-"

"Hold on, you where talking to Link? My Link" Ruto interrupted.

"Wait, I think Zelda wanted to say something important." Saria said.

"'My Link?' I hate it when you refer to him as your husband. He had no choice but to accept that Zora thingy." Malon complained.

"Girls?" Zelda tried to cut in.

"Your saying he was forced to marry me? Link deserves more than just a lowly farm girl. He needs a Princess! Right Zelda?"

"No! He should choose for himself. That's why I have this plan-"

"Ha! Princess Zelda herself agrees with me!" Malon gloated, once again interrupting Zelda.

"Well I-"

"Girls! Stop!" Zelda screamed.

"Wait a moment, I need a comeback."

Zelda ignored Ruto, "I have an idea to settle our 'problems'."

"(We have problems?)" Saria thought.

"Each and every one of us should spend some time with Link for a day, but I don't know if he will agree to it. He always too busy training." Zelda announced

"We have to force him somehow." Ruto suggested.

Everyone stayed quiet for moments, thinking of a solution. Saria broke the silence.

"We could shrink Link!" she said.

"Shrink? Where did that idea come from?" Ruto asked.

"I don't know. I read it in a book from the new library."

"I never approved a library." Zelda said.

"But this one's cooler! Fans can write a story on a real author's stories. I'm already on my third story!" Saria said.

"Fan-made fiction based on fiction? That's new. Anyway, I don't that anyone has any shrinking magic. Except that Happy Masks Salesman, but he's a weirdo."

"I think I know how we could shrink Link." Malon called out suddenly.

"How?"

"We use this." Malon held out an item, smiling.

"That's a tree stump." Zelda said.

"And why do you keep one with you?" Ruto asked.

"This tree stump is special. The Hero of the Minish himself used this for my grandmother when she and my great grandfather were locked out of the house. Ironically, their names were Talon and Malon. I blame the company."

"How the heck are we supposed to use this?" Ruto asked.

"We need Minish powers to activate it. Luckily it have a bag of Minish powder right here." Malon held out another item. It was a pouch.

"Don't you think it's kinda weird that you happen to have everything we need, as if you knew we're going to have this meeting today."

"To tell you the truth, I've been trying to shrink Link for years. Who knew it was so hard to get a handsome boy to stand on a tree stump." Malon laughed.

"So we have everything? Okay, Malon and Saria will shrink Link, while Ruto and I will stay and setup."

Meanwhile, at Hyrule Field, Link as training, unaware that he was a topic of a discussion.

"Go get em' Link!" Navi cries as he slashed another Stalchild. After defeating a second dozen of Stalchild, Talon appears behind Link

"Hiya, Link. What brings you here?" Talon greets.

"Hi Talon, nice hat?"

"Thanks! I found it from a giant turtle of some sort. I say the 'M' stands for my daughter and the color compliments my shirt"

"Speaking of your daughter, I haven't seen her in months."

"Months? You just dropped by next week. But a week ago, you were shorter and fatter... and rounder... and was a lot pinker. Yeah, it wasn't you. That guy couldn't even speak. It was more of a 'poyo'. He was still wearing your hat. Anyway you seen a little clingy to Malon right now. Still thinking about marrying her?"

"Marriage?" Link blushed. Navi noticed Link's blushing and tried pushed him away.

"Sorry we gotta go," Navi said, "good luck on your ranch! (And tell that daughter of yours to keep away from my little... ur... big Linky)"

"Okay, fine, you don't like a man to man talk."

"What is he doing?" Saria asked Malon while hiding behind a tree.

"I don't know! A told my dad to get Link ready for us!"

They had realized that Link and Navi are leaving.

"*gasped* They're leaving. You think we should run after him?" Malon looked back at Saria, but she noticed she was already gone.

"Saria? Saria!"

She looked back at Link and spotted Saria already sprinting after him.

"Link! Don't leave! Malon and I have to ask you something." Saria said.

"No, Link! Ignore her and let's go." Navi argued.

"What do you want to ask me, Saria?" Link asked as Malon arrived.

"What? You'll listen to her and not me? That's an outrage! I'm your fairy!"

"Come on, Navi. What if she needs to tell me something important?" Link plead.

"But she won't tell you something important."

"Navi."

"... Okay fine. But I get to hide in your hat."

Navi raised Link's hat up and flew inside.

"Okay, Saria what do you-" Link suddenly felt something weird on his head, as if Navi is pressing her body on him, "Navi what are you doing?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, Saria what do you want to ask-" Link felt something weird again, "Navi?"

"What?" Link tried to feel what was Navi doing. Link's eyes widened.

"Navi! Why's my head wet?"

Both Saria and Malon looked at each other, gasping. Link pulled off his hat and found Navi laying on his head, drooling.

"(Oh good, it's just saliva.)" Saria thought.

"Navi, I meet you at home," Navi just followed orders and flew back to Kokiri Forest, "So, what do you want?"

"Ah, just the usual stuff," Malon said, "Stand on this tree stump."

"Again with the stump? Why is that so important, Malon?"

"Because the Deku Tree wanted to give you magical powers, but he's too busy to talk, so he transferred it to the stump. Yeah that's it." Saria blurted out.

"Yeah you just need to stand on it." Malon said, placing the stump on the floor.

"I wonder what he has for me this time," Link stepped on the stump and waited for a few seconds, "I don't feel different."

"Uh that's because you need to turn around." Link faced the other direction.

"Now. Throw it now." Malon whispered. Saria didn't respond. She was staring at his behind, blushing.

"He has a such nice butt." Saria said swooned.

"Saria!" Saria was startled at this at quickly threw the bag. It hit him at the back of his head, causing him to faint. Saria gasped.

"You could of opened the bag! And held on to it. Or at least take a handful and throw it on him."

"I'm sorry, I was distracted!"

"Help me pulled him up." Malon said, pulling on Link's arm. Saria followed.

"Wow. Feel all that muscles."

"Focus, Saria!"

They finally got him to stand. Saria took her other hand to grab some powder and managed to throw some at him. After a few seconds, he shrunk down to the size of a thumb. In other words, the size of a Minish. Malon placed him in her pouch, then she and Saria scurried back the the castle.
