~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[alternate ending S]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He had to come to a decision - and being that he did not trust the soundness of his own judgment, he left it up to instinct. One young woman stood out in his mind more clearly, and he seized on that lest there be any blood spilled while he delayed. It was time.

"ALL RIGHT!" he shouted, causing the others to abandon their current speech and fixate on him. "Then I choose... Saria!"

"WHAT?!" they all shouted, shocked at this news from nowhere.

"Saria is... my first and only," he elaborated. "There. Now you can all stop fighting about it and get on with your lives. I'm sorry."

"I do NOT accept this!" Ruto blustered at once, eyes flashing dangerously as her voice took on a ghastly, threatening quality. "Link of Hyrule, YOU are the one I selected, and it is impossible that you would-"

"TOO LATE!" he shouted down at her. "You're going to have to accept it - I belong to Saria, now! Time to find yourself a new fiancee, okay?!"

Everyone fell quiet for a moment, only now absorbing the true impact of his proclaimation. Link took a deep breath, whisked off his hat momentarily and ran his hand through his hair; he could not look at Saria yet. The others were hard enough to observe, but Saria's reaction to the news was far too much for him to process. Just as he was putting the cap back on, Malon breathed, "Ohhh..."

"FINE!" Zelda shouted suddenly, picking up the nearest heavy object (which happened to be a rock) and throwing it directly at his head; he allowed himself to be struck by it, as he hadn't the heart to dodge. "I suppose my promise means nothing to you, does it?! The vow we made?! M-my feelings?!"

"Preposterous, all!" Ruto ecohed. "I, Princess of Zora, am to accept losing my betrothed to this forest-dwelling fungus?!"

"Watch what you say," Link warned her, mouth setting. "You're talking about the woman I love."

The sound that escaped Ruto's throat made the hairs on the back of Link's neck stand out; perhaps he should have said something less inflammatory. "Stay out of this, Link!" Ruto commanded. "YOU might have taken leave of your senses, but I shan't let this fleshy green harlot lay claim to that which I have already staked!"

"Oh, listen to yourself," Zelda spoke up, words icy depsite the generous amount of color in her cheeks. "Just because he spasmed into your chasm doesn't mean you've won the day - apparently, it doesn't mean anything at all."

That last part sounded so resigned and spiteful that Link winced. Did they really think he'd made the decision so lightly? That he was just having some fun with no regard to their feelings before he settled down with Saria? His heart sank to realize they saw him this way. "Zelda..."

"Okie dokie," Malon sighed, rubbing her shoulder. "I'm, um... I'm gonna get on home, now."

"You are?" Link asked. They were having such a heated debate, that her sudden intent to depart felt jarring. "But... why?"

"What do you mean, 'why'?" she laughed as she mounted her horse. "A whole afternoon wasted while I sit around here, waiting for a man who's never going to be mine, and you want to know why I feel like leaving? There's not enough oil in your lantern, fairy boy."

"I'm sorry."

Malon shrugged. "Yeah. But... but I can't say I blame you." And it was quite brief - as much as she could allow herself to spare without getting further wrapped up in the drama - but she cast a quick glance over her shoulder at where Saria was standing motionless. "First-hand experience tells me you made a good choice. Now, I'm gonna bow out and let you two get better acquainted, so don't try and stop me anymore, okay?"

There weren't any more words to be had that wouldn't further complicate the matter, so Link only nodded and waved. Malon waved back as a single tear rolled down her cheek, waved at Saria without looking at her properly, and rode out of the forest.

"PAH," Ruto gusted. "Makes this easier with one less mammal cluttering up this clearing."

"It would be even easier with one less amphibian," Zelda shot at her. "You're such an instigator! Why don't you do us all a favor and go back to your pond?"

"Not eeling likely!" The Zora strode right up to Zelda, gills flapping with great enthusiasm. "You may hold some great weight in the fleshbag kingdom, but NO ONE can tell me what to do when it comes to my love life!"

A snarky smile. "Or lack thereof?"

When Link saw Ruto's hand draw back threateningly, he shouted, "ENOUGH! Both of you, go to your corners!"

When they only turned to glare at him, Link stomped over, grabbed Ruto by the crook of her arm and led her far enough into the trees to be out of earshot. "Would you cut it out?! I'm getting sick of all this fighting!"

"Then you're just going to live with illness, loverboy! You string not two, not three, but FOUR females along... and somehow expect for them to nod and smile pleasantly when you drop three of them like they're waste material?!"

Link frowned. "It wasn't that easy."

"Oh, but of course it was! You spun the fishhead, and whichever one it pointed at was who you're going to PRETEND to be in love with today! The rest of us go home with our lovely consolation prize of a broken heart!"

The quivering of her bottom lip helped Link's anger abate the tiniest amount. "Okay. Okay, I'm sorry, you're right - I was stupid to hope everybody would just accept it that easily. But... you have to know, I only picked one of you because I knew it couldn't be avoided, right? It'd be much worse if I kept trying to be the one and only of four different girls."

"But WHY HER?! If it came down to do or die, why wasn't I the one at the top of your list? What did I do wrong?!"

"Nothing," he assured her. "You're a decent, uh, fish-person, and I could actually see myself with you." He took a deep breath, mostly to let himself acknowledge the truth of his own words. "I could. But Saria... we've known each other our whole lives. And there are other reasons, too, but- come on, you know I can't tell you everything. Some of it's private."

Ruto stared down at the forest floor, shaking visibly, fists clenched. Then, all at once, Link felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and found himself sprawled atop the mossy floor.

"Don't ever return to the realm of Zora," she whispered, voice thick with sadness. "I... couldn't endure if I had to see you again after all this. But you'll carry my love in your heart, won't you? Can you at least render me that service?"

"You know it."

Ruto turned to leave, then stopped. An eternity passed as she struggled with herself, then turned, flung herself over his form and kissed him so deeply that he wondered if she were trying to suffocate him. It was cold and slimy, but he couldn't help but embrace her.

"Be safe, Beloved." And she was gone, the faintest glint of her blue-grey scales catching the dappled light from the forest ceiling as she headed off for the river.

When he found his way back to the clearing, Zelda and Saria were waiting. It was awfully hard for him to clearly read Saria when his vision was filled with a bitter, incensed Princess of Hyrule. "We had best start walking, Hero," she spat at him.

Through the forest the three of them picked their way in silence. Link was reflecting on his difficult decision and how disheartening the results were. He assumed Zelda was fuming mad. But what about Saria? Was she pleased that he'd chosen her, or was she upset? Link was bringing up the rear, and he stared at the curve of the back of Saria's shorts; everything they had done! Why wouldn't she be pleased that they were together now? It made all their disgusting acts come up to a certain kind of meaning, a point in all this. Meanwhile, the things he'd done with the other three girls were now frivolous and lewd.

"You're so stupid," she bit out as they began to near Kokiri Village. "God."

"What?" he sighed. "Why am I stu-"

"Because you picked ME," she growled out. "Why? You do remember that I can't even leave this forest, don't you?"

"I know."

"And that we'll never be able to have any children?"

"I KNOW," he said more forcefully. "Saria, it's not about- why are you doing this to yourself?"

"Because somebody has to do it!" she shouted, rounding on him. Her cheeks were so flushed with heat he was afraid she had contracted a fever. "You don't have the brainpower to contemplate these things yourself, do you?! The Princess of Hyrule NEEDS you! Why are- why would you even-"

"Oh, don't argue on my behalf," Zelda half-laughed sullenly. "No thanks. You can have the blighter."

"You promised yourself to me." They both went quiet at that, and he continued to walk. "You said... you wanted me to be your first. That I WAS your first, and only. What, was I supposed to forget that? Forget you've been waiting for me? I... you're my best friend."

"I guess she must be," Zelda hissed.

Link let a sigh gust from his lungs. "Sorry, Zelda. I know Best Friend was supposed to mean something to you, b-but... but if I'd understood what you really meant, I would have told you it was Saria. Since the dawn of time."

"Then Saria deceived me," she continued as they reached the rope bridge. "When she told me... when she pretended to give me her blessing... and this is the kind of unscrupulous person you choose out of four candidates?"

"At least he didn't choose the fish." When Zelda only glared at her, she whimpered, "Please, don't be so angry with me, okay? I... how am I really supposed to look at ROYALTY, and go 'Oh, by the way, you can't be with Link because Random Forest Girl has a crush on him!' Please!"

"It would have been appreciated to have been made aware of your intentions."

"My intentions were to let you have him! There's... there's no... Link doesn't belong with some sick deviant like me, who'll chase after other girls, and get excited from him watching! He deserves better!"

Zelda's eyebrow went up as she stopped dead. "He... watched you... with another girl? And this excited you?"

"YES!" she burst out, sniffling. "I'm all kinds of fucked up! He watched me with Malon, I watched him with Malon, and I reveled in it all, like a- a PIG! Link, it's not too late - you can pick Zelda, she's right here, waiting for you! And she's... she's not me!"

None of them spoke for a moment, the rope bridge they were halfway along swaying in the wind. Link watched Zelda look between them, himself trying to figure out what to say. At last, he clapped a hand to Saria's shoulder. "Well, I'm just going to have to put up with you, now... because I made a choice, and I'm going to stick with it. You're it, blood sister."

Saria blinked, but said nothing. After a long moment, she simply turned and stomped right into the village, leaving he and Zelda on the bridge, confused.

"That was... weird," he said.

"She's surprised you picked her," Zelda mused, rubbing at her grimy nose with her finger. "We all were, I think... but... well, if she has been your bosom companion since the cradle, I suppose I can accept her as your choice. Why wouldn't you want to be with someone who shares such an intimate bond with you already?"

Link laughed quietly. "Not that I really understand all this 'fiancee' and 'betrothed' stuff. But yeah, I... well. I mean, she said she's been waiting for me. That I was the only one in all of Kokiri she wanted this kind of friendship with. And if she can't go out of the forest to find anyone else..."

"Did she... did she really watch you, when you were with that ranch hand?"

"Yeah, a little."

"And this pleased her? She... enjoyed it?"

Link took in the contemplative look on Zelda's face. "I guess. Why?"

"Oh, no reason," she said easily, brow wrinkled. "Strange, that's all. Well, let us retire, it has... it's been a long day. Many exhausting events have transpired."

"You said a mouthful." But Zelda winced at his turn of phrase, so he apologized.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zelda's heart pounded within her throat as she darted deftly between the bushes lining the path. Perhaps she was to feel honored at staying in the spacious vacant hut they had picked out for her, and she was immensely thankful for the hot bath that had been drawn to scrape off all the muck from her person, and the spare dressing gown. However, all alone in the confines of an empty room, alone in a strange land, she instead felt wistful and melancholy.

Taking a deep breath, she scurried up the ladder to Link's abode as fast as she could manage, bare feet slipping on the rungs. She should have asked for another pair of boots! But there would be no chance of that now, not until morning.

There he was, sleeping soundly. She would have been amazed if he'd been awake. The plan to demand he rethink his choice wasn't going to work out so well, because she couldn't bear to rouse him. So peaceful... Trying again to still her thundering pulse, she crept across the small, round chamber to his bedside, kneeling, trying to swallow her fears.

"Link," she whispered softly, laying a gentle hand on his arm. "I... I wish you would reconsider me."

No answer. It didn't matter if he answered, if he consciously heard her. All Zelda wanted was the chance to speak her feelings in some fashion. A few moments passed as she watched his slumbering features, how carefree and content he must be. At long last, she smiled. "Hero of Time. You may not know it, but I am the true love you seek. Your childhood playmate may love you, and surely her feelings are strong, but she cannot hold the desire I hold for you, the need to hold your heart, to give you mine ! I... I regret my outrage, I feel... perhaps if I had been less angry with you for your actions today and your ultimate choice, you- one day you might-"

She could not continue. Link's lips pursed in his sleep as he snorted, rolling his head to one side. Zelda smiled, leaned in and left a gentle peck on his cheek, then rose to leave.

But someone was coming. What? At this hour?! Zelda did not want to be found here in her underthings, skulking over her lost love's bed. Where was there to hide? Nowhere, that's where! Desperate and at the end of her rope, she dove beneath the breakfast table in the corner. There, squirming and fearful, she waited to be discovered as a Peeping Thomasina.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Link! Wake up!"

Link's eyes fluttered open. What was going on? He rolled toward his window, but found it was still dark outside. "Huh?"

"It's me."

At last, he realized it was coming from the other side of the bed, and he rolled to face - "Saria?"

"Wake up," she whispered, eyes moist in the sparse moonlight. "I... can we talk for a few minutes? I promise, it'll be over quick and I'll be gone. But I can't wait, I c-can't sleep."

Sighing deeply, he rubbed his face, propping himself up on his elbow. "Yeah, I... sure. What's wrong?"

Saria fidgeted, seemingly at a loss. She turned, strode purposefully to the door, and let loose the canvas flap that made for his door. He felt his pulse quicken; why had she done that? Was this to be such an important conversation? Or, worse yet... was she about to murder him? Yes, he had done something horrible, and now was time for retribution.

"Link, I want you to go back to the princess."

"What?" After a shocked instant, he sighed, shaking his head. "Saria-"

"No, I mean it," she choked out, folding her arms over her chest as she sat down on the round stump in the center of his room. "I've been thinking about this for hours and hours, okay? I... will you listen? I can see you're not listening."

"I am listening," he growled, scratching the back of his head as he struggled to wake up enough for this confrontation. "But come on, I already told-"

"She's more suited to your needs, Link! Royalty! You are the Hero of Hyrule - there's no point in you being with me! But she... she loves you just as much as I do," she admitted with some reluctance. "They all did, b-but- but Zelda... I know she NEEDS you. That's the difference, here, I think. Ruto and I will get along just fine, and- and Malon..."

"Malon?" he prodded gently.

"Malon needs someone, too," Saria said sadly. "And... NEITHER of us can be that for her, because I know you were thinking about that. But you have a greater duty to fulfil. And I'm anchored to these freaking trees. So yeah, you should be with Zelda."

There was a thump, and then a clatter as one of his wooden cups fell from his table. But hadn't it been fairly close to the center? He was just squinting into the darkness, trying to figure out why this had happened when Saria jumped up and snapped, "Would you listen to me?! GOD, you're like a little brat!"

"I'm listening," he told her as he abandoned his search. "But Saria, I know you don't believe me... but I really do feel closer to you than to the other girls. We're all good friends, and I treasure my friendships. Still, how are they supposed to compare with... with you and me? We were practically promised to each other from birth!"

"I think you're trying to blur the lines of friendship into something it's not meant to be," she whispered, sitting on the edge of his bed and placing a firm hand to his shoulder. "This isn't right. It's like... incest. It's sick, and vile! We're not meant to do those kinds of things with each other! So..."

"That's a load of crap," he fired back. "Because I know you've felt like that about me for a long time. And now... I finally see it. So please, don't ask me to forget, or pretend I don't. Be with me."

"B-but-"

And then he was kissing her, drawing her in closer, passing his hands all over her back. Saria whimpered as she returned the kiss, cupping the nape of his neck, before she shoved him back, panting. "N-no... no, we really shouldn't... and I hate that you can do this to me, weaken me, make me lose m-my... because you feel so good..."

In spite of her words, she was crawling over him, lowering her body onto his, kissing him back fully, without reservation. About the time he dropped a hand to her behind, she whispered, "Oh my- Link, you're already... how can you be, after all the action you've had today?! Are you taking some kind of magic virility potion?!"

Heaving, straining, they shoved the sheets to the floor, exposing him to the room as Link yanked her shirt over her head, then began leaving a trail of light kisses down the surface of her stomach. His toes hooked on the tops of her boots and shoved hard, sending them flying into the room.

"OW!"

"What, what?" he gasped. "Did that hurt you?"

"Wasn't me," she whispered. "Or maybe... oh, who cares?!" The next moment the disturbance was forgotten as Link began to remove her shorts, and they were naked, exposed to each other and the chill moonlit air.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Her cheeks burning, Zelda again fought to turn her head from the sight before her as she placed the boot delicately on the floor, rubbing her arm. It was no use; there was nothing else to see in the room. The lone window was shining light directly onto them.

This was a very big problem. How could they? How could they copulate with her mere feet away from them?! But they had no idea she was there, huddled in the shadows, heart aflutter. Witnessing something she wasn't meant to. Watching the man she loved have sex with another woman.

But they were. As she looked on, horrified, she saw Link's hand tracing slowly up the inside of Saria's leg, lingering on the tiny protuberance, illiciting a moan from the forest dweller. Worse still, she had to see Link's hardness stand proudly in the light, smell its spoor... and that of the female. It was disgusting to her, and yet she had to keep watching; it was her only choice. A part of her desired to simply stand up and admonish them for being so rash, for subjecting her to this. Or to creep along the wall and escape... but that would never work, not even with the best of luck.

Saria had urged him to change his mind. To be with Zelda! Why would she do this when she had so clearly won his heart?

She could never have him. That much was clear; Link was beyond her reach. Even so, there he was, fully aroused, sweating, touching this green-haired vision... she was so much more comely than Zelda was, so mature-looking. In comparison, Zelda was a mere baby, with round cheeks and undeveloped features, though they were likely the same age. Her father had assured her that all the women in their lineage were late bloomers, but this did nothing to mollify her.

It occured to her that she was growing quite moist beneath the gown. That was offensive; she was only observing two others engaged in these acts, she was not a part of them! This constituded voyeurism most foul! But the more she heard Link moaning, the more she saw him advancing on the girl in his arms, the hotter she grew, and the less she could ignore what was happening. Her heart would always want to be with him, and that extended to other areas of herself, as well. Gently, ashamedly, she began to raise the hem of her garment...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saria's lips made a loud, smacking sound as she withdrew from Link's mouth. Oh, this was heaven! And this time it was allowed, they had promised themselves to each other, despite her hesitance! That increased the passion and eros a thousandfold!

"Do it," she moaned into his ear, feeling her nipples brush his chest, hearing the sharp intake of breath this illicited. "Please, j-just... just fuck me, Link! I'm so ready to be the only one for you! For you to be the first and only inside! I can't wait any longer, I've been waiting forever! I need you right now!"

"S-Saria!" he gasped out, eyes squeezed shut. "I love you!"

Her breath caught in her throat as she paused in her furious stroking of his gourd-stalk. When she spoke again, he heard the taint of tears in the back of her joy as she looked upon him, lip quivering. He'd meant to save that proclaimation for later, but upon seeing her reaction he had not a single regret. "YES! I love you, too, Link - I always have, with every speck of flesh and drop of blood! Please, open me up and invade me, fuse with me! Make me your soulmate until the end of time! Love me!"

Then, when he paused to smile up at the one he'd chosen, sweat rolling down his brow, did she feel her heart leap upward, soaring on wings of rainbows. This was how it was meant to be, what she had been hoping for against hope since they were small. To have his heart.

"AAIHHHHGH!" she cried out when she was penetrated, shivering, arching her back to stare at his ceiling. "OH! Oh, Link, it's- how can it be that big?! I'm going to fall apart after you, I just know it!"

Link's hand brushed her breast as he asked, "Are you sure you're okay? Please, if-"

"Do it now! Rock my world!"

Grinning at the way she phrased it, he began to roll her over and position himself atop her, but she held him in place. "No," she breathed intensely, grinning. "Like this. Up and in, I... let me do all the work for both of us. I want to ride you."

Link nodded numbly. "Whatever you say. I live to serve you now." Then, pleased more than he would have believed possible at all of these words pouring out of her, he took careful aim... and guided himself again into her damp, virgin folds.

"OOOHH!!" she screamed again, grinding her hips down hard, forcing him deeper within, coaxing all sensation from her actions that she could. "Oh, Link! LINK!"

"Saria!" he shouted, throwing his head back as he began the gradual process of building to the climax, as he pushed into her and pulled back. But then he wasn't doing it anymore; she was. He watched, stunned, as she stood on her knees, clamping around him as she sat up and back down, twin mounds of flesh glinting in the moon as they jiggled, nipples pointing up and out. When she noticed him watching these, she grinned downward, letting out a blast of laughter as she caught them up, squeezing.

"AHH!" she blurted, swaying dangerously. "Oh shit, I- w-WOW, I wasn't expecting them to f-feel - OOH, Link, this is so good!"

"Yeah?" he grunted, running his hands up and along her outer thighs, feeling the slick glide of her against him as she continued her ride, impaling herself over and over as she fought with her own chest, given over wholly to the experience. "I l-like watching you do that! Your beautiful coconuts!"

"Link, grab my ass!" she orderd, and he did so, digging in hard with his fingertips as she gyrated over him. He watched her lips part further and further from each other, seeing her pink tongue poke out into the air. "Yeah! Yeah, knead my flesh, work it like clay!"

Swallowing thickly, he gazed down at their point of union. Wondrous - the sight of her lips pulling at his stalk as it retreated, then how it rammed deeply inside when she descended, searching out the deepest points of her innards, imbedding parts of him within her forever. Sitting up slightly, he yanked them both back toward his headboard to prop himself up, earning a cry of alarm as she swayed. Once in a better position, he reached farther back... and spread her cheeks wide.

"AAAHHH! W-whoa, I- WHOA! Y-you're opening me up m-more?! Yes, Link, yes - rip me open! I want it all exposed for you!"

Link grinned wide, pleased at his efforts. Slowly but surely he inched his fingers in, pressing them into the fragile area between her two holes. "Do you like this?"

"YEAH!" she admitted, pinching her fists closed around her breasts as she continued to bob atop his pelvis, sweat pouring from her in buckets. "I f-feel- OHH, I do, I like that! M-more, Link! More and more!"

"Okay." Dipping downward, he collected a little of the ample juices they were producing together, coating his fingers. When he began to slide these all over her perineum accompanied by a gentle, subtle pressure, she moaned aloud, deeper yet higher, which sent a thrill up his spine and into his throat. "I love how soft you are here! It's so... YOU are so perfect! Saria!"

"I'm so ready!" she shouted, pulling at her nipples as if wishing them to be removable, causing the tissue stretching back to her chest to bend slightly as she moved up and down on him, shoving him inside herself with greater force every second. "I... I'm gonna... Link, I c-can't stop it, it's coming!"

"Let it!" he cried out. "It's all for you - all of it!"

"LINK! MY LINK, I LOVE YOU!"

"SARIA!"

"MMMMHHHAAAAAAAAAH!!!"

"NNNNNNNNNHHHHGGGH!!"

"NNNYAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAHHHH!!!"

The release was so much greater than any thus far that Link began to worry that his heart would give out, unable to shoulder the strain. But he knew it was strong - THEIRS was strong, for two hearts joined as one could surely withstand than anything. What a beautiful love.

As she sagged forward, slipping him out of her and kissing him on the lips, he felt giddy and light-headed. The enormous dinner they had partaken in before going to bed coupled with the brief rest had given him new wind, but she had drained it from him - and she had less still, since she hadn't the opportunity to sleep. So as she began to doze, he could not blame her.

"Mmm... oh I love you, Link," she whispered gently. "This was so worth the wait."

"It really was," he told her with more honesty than he had ever held in his heart before - which was saying a lot, considering he seldom lied to anybody. "I... I know I... wait."

"Hmm?"

"Do you... I think I hear something."

"I don't," she sighed contentedly. "Probably juMMPH!"

Link had slapped his hand over her mouth, which caused her to jump back to an awakened state. As she continued to breathe fearfully through her nose, eyes wide, he held perfectly still... until they could both hear it. Quiet sobbing.

"Who's there?" he demanded. "Show yourself!"

For a long moment, nothing happened, save the sound of Saria's breathing. Then a figure rose in the shadows, and Link cursed himself; his sword was all the way across the room. There was nothing he could do to save himself if this was an assassination attempt.

"You t-two... are so flawless together... it has become apparent I've lost... forevermore."

It was Zelda. What was she doing there?! "Princess?" came Saria's shocked whisper once Link had dropped his hand away. "What... where did you...?"

"I am sorry to say... I was hiding beneath the table," she admitted as she paced forward into the light. The first thing Link noticed was the twin tracks of tears running down her cheeks. The second thing was the curious spotting around the lower abdomen of the gown she was wearing. "Before you came in, Miss Kokiri. And then, I had no way to- no means of escape."

"So you... spied on us." Link's veins ran cold. "Wh... why would you do that?!"

"I didn't come here for such a purpose!" she exclaimed, shaking visibly. "I c-came- dash it all, I came to win you back! To make one last push for your heart before I conceded defeat! But then someone was coming, and I hid, a-and... and gracious, if I don't severely regret it now!"

"You watched us the whole time," Saria said numbly, staring at her with open eyes, legs twitching nervously. Link knew she wanted to cover up, to hide her - THEIR nakedness from the interloper. But everything that could help in this endeavor was on the floor, and they had exhausted their energy reserves. "I... thought I heard a third scream when we- OH GOD! No, Princess, you- you didn't do what I- what- UGH!"

Zelda's cheeks burned red now, humiliation taking over from sorrow. "What would you do if you were forced to watch Link engage in intercourse with someone? Repulsive and vile though it was... I... seeing him... it's not like I can simply snuff my feelings out because they're unrequited!"

At this, Link began to understand; while hidden beneath the table, observing their love-making, Zelda's body had responded. But was that all? "You didn't... milk yourself, did you?"

"LINK!" Zelda gasped. "Please, d-don't say such things, don't- speaking it aloud is- is..." And then she sank to the floor, head pressing hard into the footboard of the bed. "I'm sorry.... I'm so, so sorry, it is shameful and dishonorable what I've done! But I couldn't help it, Link, you are such an excuisite vision! Watching you copulate... it set me ablaze! If it's all I'm to have, then I'll take it!"

There was relative silence in the room, save for her strangled sobs of anguish. Saria looked to Link with round, disbelieving eyes, unsure what to do. For his part, Link shrugged; as if he had any real experience in such matters before this day. Finally, a long while later, she spoke to the forlorn monarch in as kind a voice as she could manage, given her outrage.

"Okay, look, lady. I... there's no way in hell I can pretend this isn't really gross and unsettling. But, at the same time, I think I get it." She cleared her throat. "I... I have watched Link become aroused and felt it, before we were together. It's strong stuff, and hard to resist."

Zelda nodded.

"That doesn't mean it excuses you hiding! If... if you had just... all you had to do was meet me at the door and say you were just leaving! Why would you lie in wait, hoping you could catch us in the act?!"

"But... you said you watched Link. And you became engorged with desire." As this fact came back to her, Zelda straightened, face set in a would-be serious manner if not for the glowing in her cheeks, the way her chin quivered. "You looked on at he and Malon and enjoyed yourself, and now I'm to be faulted, when it- when I never meant for-"

"That's not- I didn't go HIDING, waiting for it to happen, it started unfolding right in front of me!"

"Link... I demand you do this again," she whispered urgently. "So I can observe."

What had she just said? Link's eyebrows knitted. "Are you serious, Zelda? That's... no way, we don't-"

"I want to see you make love," she whimpered, breathing shallow, head swaying as she tried to remain in a kneeling position. "You and she... I... it shreds me apart inside to know it's not me, but the act is so... breathtaking."

Saria gaped at her, reaching back with her hand to cover their most intimate areas... and unable to do so from her vantage point. "N-no, Zelda... what are you saying? This is-"

"I'll assist you!"

And then, without warning, her hand was on his gourd-stalk, stroking, manipulating. Even in its soft, painful state, the knowledge of it being Zelda's hand was somewhat stimulating - but he could only gape at her, horrified that she was behaving like this. "Stop, Zelda, please. This is... it's not right."

"Aren't you supposed to be a princess?" Saria bit out, trying not to cry herself. "Show some dignity!"

"What dignity?" she laughed weakly as she stroked. "I just manipulated myself to orgasm while hiding under a table. Earlier today, I fought a pitched battle with a FISH, and nearly lost. And I spent a good amount of time with THIS-" she tugged, causing Link to suck air through his teeth "-in my mouth. I'm a disgrace to the thrown. So, now that ship has sailed..."

Saria's spine curled when Zelda's other hand pushed into her soft folds, massaging, stimulating. "W-wait!" she cried out. "D-don't touch me like that, y-you don't understand what you're g-gonna-"

"You can't fool me," Zelda moaned hotly as she played with them. "Zelda of Hyrule wasn't born yesterday. Any fool could see the way you defered to that milkmaid; you do not desire only men. You're a deviant, you enjoy this from both male AND female partners. What gives you the right to lay claim to Link when you... when you may only discard him for another?"

Saria's scandalized gasp turned into a moan of reluctant pleasure as Zelda pinched, hard, around her peach pit, pulling just enough to make her thighs shudder. "Link," she whispered desperately. "I... she's turning me on, it's... you have to stop her, please, this isn't what I want!"

"But I can't," he lamented. "She's... I don't have the will to move... why can't I?"

"That's not- Link, I can't move, either, it's t-too much, and I'm out of energy, I can't shake her off! S-so you- you're going to have to!"

"This 'gourd-stalk' of yours isn't responding," Zelda sighed, disappointed. "Not enough... you're only... wait. There's something Ruto mentioned, while I was struggling with her. Something she said you found irresistible, that I wouldn't be capable of..."

That didn't bode well. "What do you mean?" Link asked weakly.

The bed creaked as Zelda climbed onto it, and he saw she had shed her clothing. Again, here he found himself with two naked women! Why did this keep happening? He felt something forcing itself under them, Saria cringing up and away from it; hot breath caressed his pods. Then, when he felt the wet, slimy tongue poking inside of him, he bellowed, "NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!"

"What, what is she doing?" Saria moaned - for Zelda's hand continued its advance on her.

"She's going... inside me, wh-where- STOP!"

"There you go," she giggled madly when she felt his stalk stiffen beneath her palm. "So it DOES work! That's rather amazing!"

"Link..." Saria's words were fearful, astounded. "Are you t-telling me... is she going inside your knothole?! But th-that- NO, that's not a place where we're allowed! It's dirty and vile, and- and you did that with the FISH?!"

"AIIIGH!" Link called out as he was invaded again by Zelda's eager tongue, as she lapped at him, her lips pushing flush with his skin. "Waaaah, I- Ruto did it TO me, against my will! Just like now!"

Zelda pulled back and grinned as she stroked him wildly, bouncing his length off Saria's stomach. "And you like it. It brought about another awakening, even so soon after you expended your love into this girl! You cannot hide your reaction!"

"I d-don't like it," Link corrected. "I hate it, but... it sets me off, it's out of my control!"

"LINK!" Saria groaned, her lips kneading at his shoulder. "Oh God, Link, I- I can't believe you like taking it from behind! That's s-s-so HOT!"

"He tastes like brisket," Zelda informed her, and they all felt Saria shiver with delight. "Somehow it's... it's so good, I can't... mmm. Bet you'd like to sample him one day, eh?"

"NO!" Link snapped, horrified.

"Yes!" Saria giggled. "But... but not if he doesn't w-want- NNHHHHAAHH, OH MY GOD!"

Zelda grinned as she withdrew from Saria's behind. "What's good for the gander is good for the goose, my dear."

"Zelda, you have to stop!" Link pleaded as he felt her tongue toying with the rim of his hole again. "What you're doing - you're forcing us to pleasure each other again, without our permission! That's wrong - you're acting so, so- so EVIL!"

"I know," she whispered, pounding at his mostly-hard flesh as she licked along his thigh. "But... I... I need this. If you want her so damn bad, you had better prove it to me! It's the LEAST you owe me after breaking my heart!"

"OWOWOW!" Saria cried, trying to draw her legs together but being held apart by the obstruction of Zelda's shoulders. "G-get that finger out of there, it's the wrong place, c-can't you- PLEASE, OW, AHHHNH!"

"Mhnh," Zelda intoned with pure pleasure into Link's taut opening, driving her tongue farther and farther in, biting at the surrounding flesh. "MMMHH!"

"LINK! Link, sh-she won't get out of my knothole, I c-can't take this, it hurts - but it's also driving me crazy! I w-want- I want-!"

"You want him to penetrate you again," Zelda said obscenely, deriving too much joy from this, both of her hands jerking and teasing. "I feel that's what he wants. It's what we ALL want."

Link stared down over Saria's shoulder, but all he could see was the top of her golden head. "Zelda..."

"I want her to be with you," she said, with hurt behind her lust. "Because... she is your mate, after all! Be with her!"

"No, no, no!" he babbled when he felt himself being guided toward Saria's hole. "Don't- please, don't MAKE us do this! PLEASE ZELDA, STOP!"

"It's okay, Link."

His eyes snapped wide as he glanced over into Saria's panting, shining features, at the flutter in her eyelashes as her dark, forbidden hole was forced to admit a foreign object. "How can it be?!"

"I will... I'll fuck him again. For you, and for him, and for me. But only if you let him do it - let him put it in himself."

Zelda let out a sob, before growling cruelly, "And why should I?! Why shouldn't I do whatever I want?!"

"Because if you shove it in there without his permission, I'll kill you when this is over. Nobody makes my lover do what he doesn't want."

Despite the high saturation of desire in her words, the cold ring was unmistakable, and he felt Zelda's actions falter as she considered this. "I see. I... but... no, you're correct. Link should be the one to do it. But don't expect my hands to go anywhere special."

Link glanced into Saria's eyes again, and saw her nodding. How COULD they?! But there was nothing left for him to do but accept the reality; they were all at the point of no return, and even if he somehow managed to find a way to back down from this, he knew neither of them could. Therefore, he placed one arm gently around Saria's sticky back, kissing the crown of her head, and reached down to guide himself inside.

"That's it," Zelda moaned. "I... I want this... I know I do. I want to watch you invade her again."

In the brief pause as his gourd brushed her lips, about to go in, he saw Saria kiss his chest; when he looked down into her face, she mouthed the words "I love you", too afraid to speak them aloud again with the princess so near. Then, smiling, he allowed himself to glide into her again.

"UNnnHHH!" Saria moaned. "Link! Oh my God, I- I think it's actually bigger! How do you keep getting bigger?!"

"Lon Lon Milk," he laughed weakly, beginning to thrust into her.

"No... it's Zelda." A choked sob issued from her throat. "It's that stupid finger she's- NNNNHh, it makes it you feel bigger, because I'm so much tighter down there w-with the extra- AAAAHH, stop, Zelda, too much!"

"Suffer!" Zelda was growling, shame and arousal tinging her words. "Suffer as you savor him!"

"P-Princess Zelda, I beg of you, please, have mercy!"

"Mercy?! Why?!"

"Put your tongue inside again!" Saria beseeched her. "Because it's s-so dry your hand is going to tear it, you're going to do me serious injury, please, PLEASE! AAAAIHHHOOHH!"

Link could see a hand on Saria's behind that wasn't there before as the blonde head dipped forward, and Saria moaned, "NNhhhYAAAH! That's it, it's so good, it's so much better - it doesn't hurt anymore b-because your tongue is- AHH!"

"I'm glad you like it!" Zelda moaned, and did not stop, head bobbing in time with their gyrations. For a wild moment, Link thought he actually felt something poke his length from inside her - but that was impossible! Could those inner caverns be so closely placed?

"Zelda... m-move your knees to the right! Just l-let me g-get my leg under-"

"Mmmhhnn," Zelda affirmed right into Saria's rump, unwilling to let up her assault as she shifted. Then she said, "HNNHHHOII?!"

"That's what you get!" Saria cackled wetly as she swung to and from from the combined ministrations of Link, Zelda... and the act she was perpetrating. "What's the matter? Never been foot-fucked before?!"

"AUGH!" It was clear Zelda could not force herself to move. "I... no, this is f-filthy! To have m-my sacred- invaded by such an odious part of the anatomy as- NNHHH, no, stop I d-don't want to be feeling this, not this way, not from the woman who st- not from ANY woman!"

Suddenly, Saria was yanking Link to a sitting position with a quick burst of adrenaline - and he could just see the way Zelda's backside was wiggling, writhing to and fro, the movements of Saria's leg that were causing this. The gleam of wicked enjoyment in Saria's eyes as they fell back to the mattress disturbed him, but he could not blame her for indulging in a thrill of revenge.

"Nyyaaiihh!" Zelda called out. "Sto- stop, that's- UHHHGH, it feels too good to be a- to be what it is!"

"Link and I are going to cum without you," Saria taunted. "Unless you give in! Unless you let my dirty little toes get you off!"

"OHHUHHH!" Link grunted. "N-no! Not a whole finger, take that b-back, get it awayAAHHH!"

"EEYYAHHH, stop making out with my knothole!" Saria whimpered, moaning to the heavens.

"FINE! I'll just use both hands!"

And then Link saw Saria's eyes fly wide, a strangled gasp issuing from her as if she'd been shot. "Are you okay?!" he demanded urgently. "SARIA!"

"Two!" she strangled out. "Two fingers are... and you're down there with... AAAAAAOOWOWOW!"

"Zelda, don't you hurt her like this! C-come on, I- OWOWAAAAAAIGH, GO EASY, STOP, GET OUT OF ME!"

"MORE!" Zelda grunted, swaying visibly as she pumped them with both arms, as they all shifted together in the bed, one huge collective of eros. "I... Saria, please, I... I cannot ask, I can't speak it aloud!"

"SAY IT!" Saria belted out. "You damn well better say it after what you did to my behind, I wanna hear you!"

"Give me more!" she stammered. "With your... oh, please, I'm begging!"

"Not good enough!"

"F-fuck me," she sobbed, as uncomfortable with the unclean words as the unclean request, teeth clamping down one Saria's soft, rounded cheeks. "Fuck me harder with your dirty little toes!"

Saria laughed aloud, gaily, derisively. "Was that so hard?"

"YES! Yes it wwwwAAAAIIIYYAYAAYAYAH!"

They all felt it, and shouted, alarmed; Zelda had leaned into them with everything she had when she felt Saria's efforts with her foot redouble. Link despaired in their situation; despite all that Ruto had done to him, he was not any more accustomed to having his cove penetrated. But Saria seemed to have adapted with relative ease. Furthermore, the thought of what Saria was doing with her toes - the very same ones she'd shoved into his mouth - made his orgasm build yet more. So much was happening - he was inside his girl, but Zelda was back there with fingers in both of them, riding Saria's appendage as she assaulted them! It was too much.

"Oh, yes, Link!" Saria hollered out. "I can feel that, it feels- NNHH, you're almost there! Yes!"

"Me too," Zelda blubbered ashamedly. "This is all your fault! I... I'm about to experience my first penetration by phelanges!"

"Say you like it!" Saria demanded. "Tell us more, or I'll... I'll stop! What would you do if I stop?!"

The tears in Zelda's voice were drying up as her climax built, her head began to unravel. "Ohh, don't stop! Please, Saria - I need this!"

It became apparent to Link that Saria was no longer focused on the simple joy of tormenting their tormentor, so much as she was actually deriving sexual pleasure from hearing Zelda talk about it. "Tell us more, tell us EVERYTHING!"

"Your toes are filling me up!" she moaned, twisting her fingers inside them as she rode Saria's foot, spreading her knees wider and wider; Link could feel them against his own, now. "EUHNNNH, they're so long and powerful, and limber, and wh... how on earth did you learn to use them like this?! They're amazing! Amazing inside me, all over! Fuck me harder, Saria, fuck me with your feet!"

Both he and Saria gasped when they heard this, shocked at how earnest the words had grown. But as they looked back on the princess, at the tears leaking from the corners of her eyes, Zelda whimpered, glaring at nothing in particular. Then, she gave them an especially thorough thrust with both hands and they forgot to look at much of anything.

"I'm cumming, Link!" Saria gasped out. "Th-that was it, I- there's too much inside me from all d-directions! I'm ready!"

"Just don't stop moving your toes!" Zelda begged desperately.

"I won't!" Saria promised.

"I'm ready, too!" Link put in, wishing his cove were empty, afraid to enjoy what was happening. "Zelda... j-just tell me... how many fingers do you have in me?!"

"Th... two!" she babbled, moving them faster and faster. "I... do you w-want three?!"

"NO!" he said - but at the same time, Saria screamed, "YES!"

There was a spitting noise, and a fleck of saliva landed on his pods; shrapnel from the coating she had given the intended target of a third finger. As he felt Saria shiver and vibrate from the sensation of being stretched to her limits, a thin, hesitant tongue licked the drip from him, and he felt them tingle.

"Link... Saria's doing such a thorough job w-with both of us... I... I understand! Your choice! Sh-she is INCREDIBLE!"

Then, as he felt something harder and smoother press into his pods, Saria shouted, "WHOA, those are- Zelda, you l-licked me! You licked the b-bottom of m-my hoNNAAAHHIYAAH!"

"I did, and it's so succulent! But don't forget about me - more of your toes, farther in!"

Link found it awkward to keep thrusting up into Saria when one of her hips shifted back and down, but the moans Zelda produced as a result seemed to justify it. As Zelda pounded them with renewed force, he felt the head of steam climbing rapidly; his ability to stave off orgasm stood no chance against her penetration of his knothole, especially not with multiple fingers! Any second...

"I LOVE YOU, LINK!"

"I LOVE YOU TWO!" It may have sounded like he said "too", but that was most certainly how he meant it - for many reasons.

"MMMMHHHAAAAAAAAAIIIAHH!!"

"NNNNNNHHHHAAAAAGGGH!!"

"NNNYAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIUUUHHHH!!!"

Panting. Gasping for sweet oxygen. Seconds ticked by and none of them moved, afraid of the odd positions they had put themselves in. Finally, Saria cleared her throat and slurred, "Well. Loogz like we, uh... thad was summin' else."

"Great heavens," Zelda breathed fearfully. "I... I have... I have most of my hands... buried deep within anus. I... is there even a plural word for anus?"

"Probably 'anusii'," Saria giggled stupidly. "Yh... can you take them out? All... seven of 'em or however many you shoved up there?"

Nodding nervously, Zelda slowly began to work her hands out, and both Saria and Link started grunting out, "WAIT, SLOWER, DON'T DO IT THAT WAY!"

"Sorry!" she whispered, working them more gently, shifting hands from side to side as she pulled. At last, with a squelching pop, she was free. "Ohh... there's... some residue to be seen here. I, um... perhaps there's-"

"My tub is over there," Link gusted. "There's still a full bucket of water next to it."

As Zelda washed up, Saria flopped to one side, curling around him. "My Link," she whispered quietly. "I... I'm sorry. Our first night together kind of mutated into, uh... not sure what you should call this."

"It's okay," he gusted. "I mean, with everything I did earlier, I should have expected it to end up this way."

"There's a chance I... that I'll somehow keep reeling in unsuspecting women to join us in the bedroom," Saria sniffled quietly, clutching at his chest. "Because I'm some kind of kink magnet. What's wrong with me?"

"Don't talk about yourself that way. Look, it's not like we knew she was here. It just happened. A lot of 'just happened' happened. All damn day."

"So you're saying we should just write today's events off as 'unusual' and reset our expectations from here?"

"Exactly that. And... I'll be your one and only from now on, if you want it that way."

Saria grinned. "Somehow, it seems like you're not the one we should worry about. But... no matter what happens, or whatever girls come along - for either of us - it's you and me. I get that now. Sorry I tried to fight you on it so hard."

"Water under the bridge, blood sister."

"Just promise me you'll tell me about the others if you can't keep still - don't sneak around. No secrets, remember?"

"No secrets," he laughed - and she sighed peacefully against him, hands smoothing over his flesh. He could lie like that forever, breathing in the earthy spoor from her green hair and not have a single misgiving about the way he'd spent his life. It was perfection.

Then a voice piped up from right next to them, "Clean as they're going to get! So... um... I have this feeling-"

"You're going to have to live the rest of your royal, dignified longeivity knowing you got your virginity taken by Kokiri girl feet," Saria chuckled up at her, only the slightest hint of a dark gleam in her eye. "And to me... that's enough to call it even for what you tried to do to us."

Zelda nodded, cowed and thoroughly remorseful. "Yes, ma'am."

Link noticed Saria's cheeks fill with rouge when the princess addressed her so respectfully. She cleared her throat. "Uhh, r-right. Well... just don't do it again."

"Link... can you forgive me? F-for being so unrelenting with you, and for spying - and for my spiteful, rancorous actions? Losing you, even to such a gorgeous, s-skilled creature..." Zelda's face was growing hot.

"I forgive you," he whispered. "Now come to bed."

"What? Are y- no, that's silly, you shouldn't be-"

"Come on," Saria echoed, patting the sheets behind her. "Just for tonight... and only if you sleep next to me. I don't want you hogging all my cuddle-time with my love."

Once Zelda had draped her naked form along Saria's back, letting out a choked sob of self-disgust mingling with her contentment, Link remarked, "I think we could use a bigger bed."

"What, are you planning on adding more chippies to our menagerie?" Saria whispered. "Going to go pick up Malon tomorrow and bring her back for some afternoon delight? 'Cause, I mean, if you are, I guess I wouldn't mind."

"I resent being called a 'chippy'," Zelda hissed. "Whatever that is, it sounds less than proper!"

And as they both laughed at Zelda's words - Zelda joining in eventually - Link knew all was right. He'd chosen his oldest friend because she knew him best, and they understood each other instinctively. A snug, effortless fit, which was all he desired in a lifelong romantic partner; someone who completed him in every way. Perhaps they would have some minor difficulty settling into a monogomous relationship... but at least it meant their lives would be seldom dull.
