BOTW Zelda - Hyrule Castle.

The night air had been warm and calm, as was fitting during Hyrule summers. Princess Zelda was gazing out of her bedroom window, letting the breeze blow across her face. "Princess Zelda," one of her maids called, "it is time to go to bed." she sighed and climbed under her bedsheet. The maid blew out the lanterns, and left the room. Once Zelda was happy that everyone was asleep, she quietly crawled out of bed, and tiptoed over to the window. She peeked out. 'No-one but the guards to see' she thought to herself. She looked over her shoulder, making sure there was no-one secretly watching her. She untied the back of her nightdress, and let it slide down her arms and over her body. The nightdress slipped down her legs, forming a small white pile on the floor. Stepping out of the dress, she smiled. "time for my favourite past-time" Zelda muttered, making her way over to the door. Her bare feet padded against the cold stone floor, which made the hairs on her arms stand on end. She ran her hand through her short blonde hair, and giggled. "it's so much easier when it's night-time" she exclaimed.

Zelda pressed her ear against the door, listening out for any voices. Anyone that would catch her in the act. "total silence, good" she thought to herself. She rose to her feet, and gripped the iron door handle. Pulling the door open slowly, she peeked out. The halls of the castle were empty, and burning lanterns lit the walls. She stepped out of her room. She had decided to bring her nightdress with her, just in case of emergencies. Creeping out of her room and slowly closing the door behind her, she got the feeling she always got when she streaked. Her heartbeat increased, goosebumps formed on her arms and she became very aware of everything around her. "right, off we go" she muttered.

Her feet padded down the corridors of the castle, but she dared not make any other sounds. If she got caught, there would be outrage. She couldn't risk it, but the thrill was too addictive. Before long, she made it to her usual place. Zelda had always had her own little garden since she was a child. She would play here, pray to the goddesses, and present herself as the next honourable leader of Hyrule. As she aged, this garden seemed to get smaller and smaller, until it simply felt like a small, insignificant area of the castle. Despite this, this was always where Zelda ended up whilst she was streaking. There were no windows in the walls, and the guards couldn't see into the garden from above. She was secluded from view, able to do what she pleased. She hung her nightdress on the wall, and walked around the garden. The grass against her feet felt refreshing and pleasant, better than the hard stone floors of the castle.

Suddenly, an alarm was raised. Zelda turned around suddenly, and hid behind one of the hedges of the garden. She could hear the heavy footsteps of the guards thundering down the corridor, and drifting off into the distance. "what on earth?" she whispered to herself. She peeked over the hedge, and could see the guards fighting with a large group of Bokoblins. They were distracted. This was her chance. She hurried over to her nightdress, pulled it on and tied it at the back. One of the guards saw Zelda, and hurried over to her. "Princess Zelda, what are you doing out of bed? the alarm was raised." "Sorry, my curiosity got the better of me" Zelda replied. "well, it's best if you head back to your room. It's safer there." Zelda nodded, and hurried back to her room. She could still feel her heart beating in her chest. 'you nearly got caught then," she scolded herself, "be more careful next time." She made it back to her room, and hurried into her room, closing the door behind her. The window was the only way she could watch the action that was unfolding. She could see a small group of guards battling a Moblin, which was batting them away like flies. Suddenly, a loud yell rang out, capturing Zelda's attention. A glowing blade emerged from the darkness, slicing the Moblin in half. The Moblin disintegrated, and everything went silent. "as if on cue..." Zelda exclaimed. Link was always there to protect the castle, whatever the hour. He dashed off, and Zelda sighed. Link had always been Zelda's secret crush. He was muscular, attractive and brave. The only problem was his inability to speak.

She sighed, and once the coast was clear, she decided to slip out of her nightdress again. She hung it on the wall and stretched. The pale moonlight reflected off her exposed body, and she felt relaxed. Suddenly, the door of her room flew open, and Link stood in the doorway. She saw him and pulled her arms over her nude body. "L-link!" she cried, turning away from him. "what are you doing here?" Link stared at her silently. He closed the door and locked it. "i-i'm sorry, I was just getting ready for bed, that's all. you came in at a bad time." she explained, clearly lying. She grabbed her nightdress and pulled it over her body. Link simply chuckled and walked over to Zelda. Even if he couldn't speak, she could still understand what he wanted to say. "it's ok, this was just an accident." she tied the nightdress at the back. "you can go now, I'm safe." Link nodded, and headed for the door. "oh, and link." he stopped, and looked at Zelda. "don't tell anyone what you saw." link nodded, and left the room. Zelda shot under her bedsheet, and groaned into her pillow. "he'll never look at me the same way again!" she whined and groaned into her pillow again. Eventually, she slipped off to sleep.
