The battle was over.
After one hundred years, Calamity Ganon had finally fallen. The Hero known as Link, who had once nearly fallen himself all of those years ago, had come back to slay the Calamity and restore the long-awaited peace to Hyrule.
Most importantly of all, though, he had rescued Zelda from her century-long imprisonment, just as he had promised to the King and their fallen comrades. She was finally safe from the evils of Ganon.
The healing process was far from over, of course. There was a century of scars that had yet to be mended, and rebuilding the kingdom would be a long and arduous task for the both of them. There was so much to do, and seemingly little time for it.
But, right now, there was no greater comfort for Link than having Zelda right behind him, her arms wrapped around his waist as they rode on his horse together. At that moment, all of the worries of the future were effectively in the back of Link's mind.
"We're nearing Hateno Village," Link told Zelda as the entrance of the quiet farming town started to appear overhead. "It's the largest Hylian Village in Hyrule, and since I already have a house here, it should be easy to settle in here for you, Princess."
"A house? You actually found the time to purchase a house?" Zelda asked, curious. While it was true that, even when she was holding back Calamity Ganon, she had dutifully watched her beloved knight fight to free the Divine Beasts and their fallen comrades' spirits, there were a few moments where her concentration was forced to lapse, so there were more than a few gaps in her memory. This must have been one of them.
"Well, after freeing the Divine Beasts, I returned to Hateno Village to restock my supplies and consider what to do next. It was when I was doing that when I noticed that a nearby house was being torn down, and… Well, I was compelled to buy it and restore it." Link looked a little bashful as he explained the situation to Zelda, as if he was trying to rationalize having downtime during his quest. "Well, technically it was Bolson and his crew that did all of the work. I just paid them and ordered them around." Link chuckled. "But that also led me to help Hudson build Tarrey Town. I should take you to see it. It's a lovely and peaceful place."
"I see… I suppose a visit would certainly be in order, then. If you helped build this Tarrey Town, then I'm sure it is a wonderful place." Zelda replied, giving the knight a slow nod. She knew Link to not be a wasteful person, so if he was devoting his resources to renovating a house, then that was definitely a good thing. As she said that, though, a sigh escaped her lips as she pressed herself deeper against Link's back. "Um… The houses weren't constructed entirely of stone, were they?"
"No. Hudson constructed the buildings from wood. I had to gather bundles of the stuff for him, so I would know better than anyone. Besides, Hudson would never make anything low quality." Link explained, earning a relieved sigh from Zelda, who had grown long tired of staring at them for so long.
As he said that, though, the two of them finally neared Hateno Village itself. The village's gate guard looked up to greet Link, though his eyes went a little wide as he saw his female passenger. The two of them finally entered the village, where Link hopped off of his horse.
"It seems like the villagers are taking notice to you, Princess." Link said as he helped Zelda down, and true to his word, the various residents of Hateno seemed to stop whatever they were doing to look at Zelda, as if they were seeing a ghost.
"So it would seem."
Cautiously, Zelda spread her gaze towards the gathering townsfolk, who appeared to be swiftly growing in number as word of their arrival spread. Normally, being in front of a crowd didn't usually rattle her so much, having stood before dozens, hundreds even, many times back before the Calamity began. And yet, now of all times, she found her confidence waning at both the crowd's bewildered stares and the renewed realization that a full century had passed since Hyrule had last seen her.
"Incredible… It's been so long, and yet… Hyrule still remembers me. Remembers us." Zelda breathed out, placing a hand to her chest in an attempt to soothe her frantic nerves.
Link, noticing how nervous the Princess was getting from the growing crowd, gently placed his arm around Zelda's shoulder and held her close to him. Zelda blushed a little, but she welcomed the contact and even leaned into him.
With Link's support, Zelda had personally met the civilians of Hateno. They were, of course, overjoyed to see that their princess was alive and returned to them well, even more so that the Calamity had finally come to an end. It seemed as though the entire atmosphere of the town had gotten lighter, almost jovial, and both Link and Zelda felt it in full force.
However, when it was all said and done and the crowd finally dispersed, Link took Zelda by the hand and gently led her to his home. "Today was tiring, Princess. I feel we both deserve some rest."
"Hm? Oh, yes, of course." Realizing just how exhausted she felt after fighting off the calamity for decades, Zelda allowed herself to be tugged along by her hero. There was much to do, but right now, the princess just wanted to enjoy this sorely missed moment of peace.
Speaking of things to do, Zelda's nose twitched irritably at the old, musty scent that seemed to pervade her body. Glancing down, she saw her once ornate dress still covered in mud, dirt, and various other stains. Her nose crinkled as she pulled her top up and gave it an inspective sniff.
"Ugh… I smell as if I've been sitting in a bokoblin cave for an eternity." Zelda muttered in disgust, tempted to strip out of her soiled outfit but refraining due to public decency. "I think a bath is definitely in order once we rest ourselves."
"Well… It's not the royal baths, but the pond serves me well enough." Link pointed to the pond that sat nearby below the house, being the spot where he tended to rinse himself of dirt and grime simply because of the convenient place it was in. Given that Link was a man who was always on his feet, he rarely dipped his toes in a legitimate bath as opposed to a lake.
"That's more than sufficient." Zelda quickly said, detaching herself from Link as she wandered right towards the pond. "I know it's selfish to say this, but at this point, I don't care if it's the royal baths or even the ocean. I've more than earned a nice, relaxing soak after all these years."
"It's not selfish." Link told her. "After everything you've been through, a bath is the least you've earned, Princess."
Instinctively, Link pulled up his own shirt to smell himself, and made a face when he realized he was in the same boat as Zelda. How long had it even been since he last bathed, with all of the stress of saving Hyrule from the Divine Beasts, and later Ganon itself?
At her loyal knight's words, Zelda turned around and smiled at Link gratefully. "Thank you, Link."
As soon as she said that, however, the possibility of having her very first bath in over a century ebbed away at her more modest tendencies. She wanted to be clean, and that started with taking off this old, mud-covered dress she had been forced to wear. Not even caring that anyone other than Link could see her, Zelda quickly began to shed her outfit, starting with her shoes, then her bracelets, and finally the old golden waistband keeping her dress in place. With all those accessories gone, her dress fell to the ground, and in that moment Zelda had never felt more free as her bra and panties were exposed to the elements.
Link stood still, his jaw slack as he took in the form of the nearly nude Princess right in front of him. The sight was nothing short of beauty in its purest form to the young hero, and his eyes didn't hesitate to take in every inch of Zelda's body. Her curves, her shapely behind, her long blonde hair… It was enough to take Link's breath away.
A deep, yearning desire that had been inside of him started bubbling to the surface. Link wanted to take Zelda into his arms and kiss her right there, and do so much more. His imagination started to run a little wild, and his… lower half started to react in kind.
Namely, he was starting to pitch a tent.
Oblivious to Link's growing arousal, however, Zelda wasted no time getting herself clean. Without even removing her underwear, the princess carefully started to walk into the clear pond, her plump ass swaying and jiggling as she walked. She shivered at first, unused to the coolness of the water as it crept up her ankles, but more than anything she was absolutely enthralled to feel it caress her smooth, albeit dirtied, skin for the first time in over a century. Slowly, more and more of her scantily-clad body dipped beneath the surface, and it was only when the water reached up to her modest breasts that she stopped her advance, instead letting out a deep sigh of contentment as she swished around in the pond, her long, golden locks spreading out like a halo in the process.
"Oh, sweet Hylia… I'd almost forgotten what water feels like." Zelda commented, and in a rare show of emotion, she started to laugh quietly as she twirled around in the water.
Link took a deep, shaky breath as his arousal only continued to grow. His boner became painfully constricted by his trousers as he ogled Zelda's ass. With no more battles or evils left to slay, the pent-up stress was finally starting to catch up to him, and with a woman so beautiful right before him, it was hard for Link to ignore his… urges.
He wanted Zelda. Desperately.
Without thinking, Link began to strip out of his own clothes. His champion's tunic went first as he peeled it over his head and threw it to the ground, exposing his muscular and scar-riddled chest. He kicked off his boots next, then bent over and pulled down his beige pants, leaving him in the dark blue underwear that he first woke up in. When that was done, he placed the Sheikah Slate on a nearby rock and entered the pond with Zelda, all while his boner was painfully obvious.
Zelda was so caught up in her fun that she didn't even register that Link had joined her until his arms suddenly wrapped around her waist.
"Eep!" A squeak of surprise escaped Zelda's lips as she turned around, immediately being greeted by Link's smiling, albeit slightly smug, face. "L-Link? What are you… you…"
Zelda's chiding remark slowly trailed off as her eyes fell upon her loyal knight's chiseled body. Her breath was taken away almost instantly, and a sharp pang of what she recognized as arousal shot through her very core. What Link lacked in height, he more than made up for with his lean musculature, which was covered in numerous tiny scars from his constant battles with the forces of darkness. So shocked by the sight of Link's toned physique was Zelda that she didn't notice the warrior's bulge currently poking against her stomach, nor did she so much as stop herself as her hands reached up and instinctively grasped at Link's pectoral muscles appreciatively.
"Oh… Oh my…!" Zelda uttered, getting completely lost at the sight before her wide eyes.
"My apologies, Princess. I didn't mean to startle you." Link told her gently, his heart steadily picking up in pace as he held Zelda close to him. Her body was warm, her skin smooth and the way her breath tickled against him was like a combo-hit for the young man.
He noticed the way Zelda was ogling him, and shot the Princess a knowing smile that made her blush and look away in a bout of shame.
Hylia, he missed these interactions with Zelda.
"I-it's alright, I assure you." Zelda quickly stammered out, her face burning hot alongside her loins not just from their closeness, but the realization that Link was hard when she spared a quick glance downward. "But a warning would be greatly appreciated next time."
"Yes, of course…" Link said, his own blush becoming apparent the longer they spent in contact together. They were both clearly yearning for each other, and it was dependent on who was going to make the first move in this situation.
Ultimately, Link moved first. His hand moved up to caress Zelda's cheek, making the Princess a little flustered. She leaned into his hand soon enough, seemingly relishing in the physical contact after a century in hell and smiled softly.
"…Beautiful." Link muttered, a comment that came out almost on its own.
"T-thank you…" Zelda shyly uttered back, managing to keep smiling despite her rampant blush. "And you are… quite handsome yourself, Link."
Now it was Link's turn to blush harder, something that Zelda couldn't resist chuckling at as she pressed further against the knight. She felt so safe with him there, watching over her as he always did. A moment later, however, she suddenly frowned and shook her head, though not out of any sort of malice.
"Actually… no… That honestly doesn't do what you truly are justice. You are… so much more than that to me." Zelda started to utter, staring deep into Link's stoic eyes as she began to add in a soft voice, "You are courageous, brave, trustworthy, and so many other wonderful words that many of them elude me now. No matter the odds, you kept going, not just for Hyrule's sake, but for my own. Me, a princess who was so blind to what she truly wanted that the entire kingdom suffered for it. If only I had realized that sooner, then…"
Zelda's voice slowly trailed off as tears began to build up in her eyes. A century's worth of guilt and regrets were quickly bubbling to the surface, threatening to consume her whole were it not for the paragon standing before her. Seconds later, she placed her own hand atop Link's, taking a deep breath as she mentally prepared to ask the heaviest question in her entire life.
She was scared to ask this, but knew that she must, and so quietly uttered, "Oh, Link… Can you ever forgive me for being so foolish back then?"
"…You needn't ask, Zelda. Because I already forgave you."
Link comforted the Princess with calming words and a soothing tone, moving his hand up to wipe the tears from her eyes and hold Zelda close to him.
"I may not remember everything, but… I remember your struggles. The weight of the world on your shoulders, the demands of the King, the pressure to live up to the expectations of everyone around you. I never hated you, not back then and not now, because I understood your pain."
Link calmed the trembling Princess in his arms, hugging her in a tight embrace and not daring to let her go, as if he were afraid of her vanishing again.
"Even now, let's not forget… It was you who staved off the Calamity for one hundred years. It was you who sealed it away and prevented the entirety of the world from being consumed by its malice. Above all of that, it was you that saved me from certain death a lifetime ago, and brought us here now."
Zelda calmed down underneath him, her eyes closed as she listened to Link's words.
"There's nothing we can do to change the past, Zelda. The best we can manage is to shape our future, and remember everyone that lost their lives in the Calamity. I know they wouldn't be happy if the future Queen did otherwise."
"Yes… Yes, of course." Zelda slowly managed to say, her guilt evaporating in the presence of the one she loved. "There's undoubtedly a long road ahead of us, but… we must continue on. For my father… For our friends…"
Though she tried her best not to cry, a single tear managed to slip past her eyes, plipping down into the pond. Neither party noticed that when it did, the pond began to subtly glow with a warm, radiant light, similar to that of Zelda's sacred powers.
Before either one of them could even remotely question this, Zelda looked deep into Link's eyes and asked without any hesitation, "Link… Will you walk this path alongside me? Not as a knight or even the Hero who wields the Sword of Evil's Bane… but as the one I love, now and forevermore?"
"My life is yours, Princess." Link gently assured her, as he leaned in and kissed Zelda on her cheek. "As I breathe, I will always remain by your side. You will never face another day alone."
Hearing that, Zelda felt her heart swell with unbridled joy. She had waited over a century to hear those sweet, sweet words, and they felt every bit as euphoric as she could have imagined.
"That's all I needed to hear." With their love for one another made clearly known, Zelda, in the most bold gesture of affection she had ever shown, smiled and pressed her lips to Link's. She poured all of the love and passion she could muster into the gesture, telling her loyal knight how much he meant to her in a way words never could.
Link returned the kiss just as passionately, as his arms slid from her upper back down to her slim waist. He never realized how much he missed having Zelda so close to him until he experienced first hand, and he wanted this moment, more than anything, to last for a lifetime.
They stood in the pond, the world around them a blur, as they were entranced in each other's embrace. Link's hands went even lower, finding their way to Zelda's plush ass, where he gave her cheeks a firm squeeze.
Zelda moaned in equal amounts of surprise and delight as her plump ass cheeks were groped by Link, but quickly welcomed her lover's touch. Admittedly, all those years fending off the Calamity had left her extremely touched-starved, and so having Link caress her so intimately… Well, suffice to say Link wasn't the only one starting to feel very aroused right now.
Link didn't stop there, however. His fingers sank into Zelda's plump flesh, before giving her cheeks a little smack. The Princess jolted a little from that, and Link verily enjoyed seeing the way it jiggled.
Gradually, Link's kisses started to go lower. He moved from Zelda's lips down to her neckline, where he sucked on the base of her collarbone and nibbled on her ear before blowing into it.
A shudder went down Zelda's spine at Link's playful teasing. She would never admit it to anyone else, but her body was especially sensitive to another's touch. That Link seemed to know exactly where her weak spots were without so much as a single utterance, Zelda didn't know whether to chalk that up to his insight or beginner's luck.
Either way, the princess mewled approvingly, clinging to her loyal knight even tighter. At this point, her nipples had since grown hard, poking not just through the worn fabric of her bra, but also against Link's muscular frame, which she sensually ran her hands along as if they had taken on a mind of their own.
While Link was busy pecking at her neckline, his firm hands moved up her backside. Zelda shivered underneath him, and her blush increased twicefold when she realized that he was undoing the knot holding her bra together.
In a matter of seconds, Link had completely undone her bra and peeled it off of her body. Zelda's modest breasts were exposed to the elements, and Link could feel her hard nipples rubbing against his bare chest.
He took a moment to admire them. They weren't very large, but they were the perfect size and shape.
Zelda shivered in anticipation as Link ogled her breasts. Her self-consciousness about their lacking size kept her from asking about them, but fortunately she didn't have to ask Link what his opinion was. In a flash, both of his hands reached up to grasp her naked breasts, causing Zelda to rear her head back and moan deeply, with the blonde instinctively pushing her chest as far against his hands as she could for even more pleasure. She held little doubt now that she was completely wet, and not from the pond.
Link took his time to massage Zelda's breasts. His fingers tweaked at her nipples, flicking and pinching the pink nubs until they slowly got hard under his palms. Zelda whimpered and moaned under his playfulness, and the way he kissed and sucked on her neckline was putting Zelda in a state of pure bliss.
The noises she made only served to spike Link's arousals, and his boner was almost begging to be freed from its restraints, but he held back to please the Princess first. He valued her own pleasure before his own.
To what would be Link's delight, however, Zelda harbored the exact same sentiment. She wanted to please her knight as much as he was pleasing her at the moment. It seemed only fair that she repaid such dutiful groping.
Feeling Link's bulge pressing against her stomach, Zelda knew exactly how to best pleasure her lover. Ignoring her inexperience with intimacy, she lowered one of her hands down to Link's crotch and gave his tent a generous squeeze. All at once, Link gasped and let out a shuddery breath, which told Zelda that she was on the right path and that she should continue to grope his bulge. At the same time, it seemed only fair that the princess got to feel his sensitive bits, and after a moment of hesitation, she slipped her hand into Link's boxers and began to fondle his balls directly, simultaneously marveling at the apparent girth of his erection.
"M-Mmmm… Ahhh…" Link moaned, his body shivering from how soft and gentle Zelda's hand felt against his genitals. Even with the influx of women vying for his affections, both now and before the Calamity, Link had never been intimate with a woman before now.
Zelda had been the first to capture his heart, and the first he allowed to get so close like this.
"P-Princess…" Link could hardly speak, as his mind rapidly turned to mush against Zelda's handjob. Even if the Princess wasn't confident in herself, it still felt like pure bliss to the Hero.
"Link…!" Zelda found herself moaning as well, with Link having not stopped groping her petite bust despite her handjob. Heat swelled within the princess's body, the likes of which she had never felt before even during the precious few times she masturbated. In fact, what little clothing she still had covering her person was starting to feel stuffy and restricting, and thinking that Link felt the same with his boxers, she shyly asked, "W-would you… like me to r-remove your underwear, Link?"
"…Y-Yes." Link grunted, feeling more than ready to have this underwear removed from him at long last. At the same time, his hands moved down and pulled at the strings holding her underwear in place. Zelda gasped as her undergarments were removed, left to float in the pond and leaving the Princess completely bare to her lover.
Heeding Link's wishes along with her own, Zelda hooked both her hands along the waistband of her knight's boxers and swiftly yanked them down. A loud gasp fled her throat as she got the first glimpse of Link's cock, erect and ready to take her right then and there. "O-OH MY…!"
The two lovers were now completely bare in front of each other, and Link's cock was rigid and pulsating at the idea of fucking the Princess right in front of him. The stress of heroism had finally caught up to him, and now there was nothing left to hold him back.
"Princess…" Link muttered, his cock rubbing up against her tummy, causing Zelda to flinch from how hot it felt. "I haven't quite… tended to my needs in a long time, with my journey in the way. Though, that never stopped some women from trying…"
"I… can see why, now." Zelda uttered, completely in awe at Link's dick, the likes of which she could only really remember seeing in some of Purah's 'special' books. Curious, she dipped a finger below the water and ran the tip along his shaft, earning a pleasured groan from her knight. He felt so eager, and quite frankly, so was she, with her pussy aching with the need to have Link inside her at last. "Link… I… I-I think I'm ready for you." She uttered, wrapping both arms around Link's neck and pressing his dick tightly between their naked bodies.
Link responded in kind by grabbing Zelda by her waist and turning her around. The Princess yelped a little as it happened, and not a second later she was bent over so that her arms were touching the edge of the pond. Zelda blushed when she felt his hard, hot cock poke against the entrance of her pussy, with his clear intention being to violate her from behind.
"…I'll be gentle, Princess." Link told her gently. "If it hurts at any moment, let me know."
"O-of course…" Zelda uttered softly, sparing a quick glance back at Link before shutting her eyes and bracing herself. She had no clue what to expect, but somehow that only made the prospect of her first time sound even more exciting.
With nothing left to hold him back, Link shoved half of his length directly into Zelda's pussy. The Princess gasped, her back arching and teeth gritting. Link almost felt the urge to pull back out, but Zelda gave him an encouraging look, to keep doing it.
With that incentive, Link kept going, shoving the entirety of his dick inside Zelda's pussy. A little bit of blood dribbled out as her virginity was stolen, and Link was almost overcome with how tightly her pussy clamped down on his dick. It felt amazing against him.
Slowly, surely, he began to rock his hips back and forth, his rod going in and out of Zelda as he began to fuck her from behind.
For Zelda, the experience was honestly indescribable. At first, she felt a sharp burst of pain as Link slid his shaft inside of her, but with each measured thrust, the agony was swiftly being replaced with extreme amounts of pleasure. The arousal she felt before couldn't compare to the lust she now felt, and let Link know how good his dick felt with pleasured moans and gasps.
"A-AHH~! Hah… S-sweet Hylia, t-this is… amazing!" Zelda breathed out, her cries growing louder and louder with each time Link thrusted into her.
Link grabbed Zelda by her waist, holding tightly onto her as he thrusted into the Princess. Her plump ass cheeks clapped every time he thrusted inside of her, a sound that was akin to music in his ears. Zelda's moans were loud, echoing out into the night, but to them it may as well have been inside of their own bubble.
Right now, Link wanted Zelda. He wanted everything about her. His mind didn't focus on anything else but the Princess right in front of him, who moaned and cried out his name as he fucked her.
"L-Link! K-keep going!" Zelda frantically urged, waves of pleasure assaulting her from every angle, with one of her hands grabbing at her chest for even more ecstasy. "Don't hold back! I… I order you to not hold back with me!"
Link took those orders to heart, as he proceeded to put the entirety of his weight into all of his thrusts. Link grunted, Zelda practically screamed to the Heavens as they were lost in ecstasy. Zelda's hands dug into the soil, her entire body quaking from pleasure.
Link could feel something broiling to the surface, and he knew that he was close. "Z-Zelda…! Mmmph!"
"Link!" A burst of pressure, unlike anything she had ever felt before, swelled up between Zelda's thighs. Each pump of Link's dick brought her closer and closer to sweet release, and the horny princess was forced to use every last ounce of her willpower to hold onto that blissful feeling. "I… I'm so close, Link! So close to… to…"
The words slowly died on Zelda's tongue as her body started to shudder. It started out slowly enough, but before long her entire body began to vibrate and spasm uncontrollably as a massive wave of euphoria broke through the last of her mental defenses.
Rearing her head back, Zelda cried out at the top of her lungs, "A-AHHHHHHHH~! I'M CUMMING, LINK! I'M CUMMING!"
"Ngh… H-HIYAAAAAH!" Link grit his teeth, his chin bucking into his chest as he blew his load right inside of Zelda's tight pussy. His semen came out in burst after burst, quickly overflowing her womb to the point that it began leaking out and seeping into the pond itself.
Link leaned down, both he and Zelda worn out after such explosive orgasms. It was as if a massive weight lifted off of them, their individual stresses released for the first time in ages.
Slowly, Link pulled out of Zelda. The remaining semen dripped out of her holes, and all Link could do was stare on with a flustered expression. "S-Sorry, I… I couldn't pull out in time…"
It took Zelda several moments to catch her breath before she managed to weakly turn around and respond. "That's… more than alright…" She uttered, working up the strength to smile at Link. "That was… better than I ever could have dreamed it would be…"
"Yeah…" Due to his vastly superior stamina, Link was already recovered, but he still took the time to dote on Zelda and ensure she was alright. "I… I didn't hurt you, did I?"
Zelda was touched by Link's concern, but softly shook her head as she allowed her loyal knight to pick her up into his strong, protective arms. "Not at all… Well… Truthfully, it did hurt a bit at the beginning, but I believe that was more due to this being my first time, um… h-having sexual intercourse of any sort."
"I'm relieved. I didn't know how to properly control my own strength, b-but… I'm happy you enjoyed yourself, Princess." Link smiled at the Princess, and Zelda blushed a little as he stepped out of the pond with Zelda in his arms. Being as strong as he was, carrying her was practically nothing for the Hero, and he easily made his way inside of his home.
"Though…" Link muttered as they walked up the stairs, directly to his bed. "I feel like… Just once isn't enough for me, Princess."
"You… wish to go again?" Zelda asked, blushing deeply at the implication of Link's words.
"Only if you're willing," Link clarified, as he gently laid the naked Princess on his own bed. Zelda quickly realized that there was only one, and now the naked, and very muscular Hero was looming over her body with a clear desire to do more. "But… Yes. Absolutely. I want to do it over and over with you."
Zelda stared up into Link's eyes, which, in a rare show of emotion, adopted a rather teasing appearance. Yet, there was not a single doubt in the princess's mind that this was something they both wanted and that they both wholeheartedly deserved.
Thus, with an eager smile, Zelda nodded and placed her hands to Link's hips again, giggling as she cooed, "In that case, let's make up for all the time we spent apart from one another~"
"With pleasure~"
With that, Link and Zelda embraced each other, and the night was thusly spent in passionate lovemaking well into the morning.
They had quite a lot of catching up to do, after all.
