Summary:
Zelda, Princess of Hyrule, has never fallen in love and never had a crush. But that's no big deal. She doesn't need a boyfriend to be happy - she has friends for that. Besides, if she were meant to fall in love, it probably would have happened by now.
Right. She's sure she's right.
So why does it feel like there's something wrong with her?
Written for Hyrule Pride Week 2021, Aspec Day!
-----------------------------
Well lookit this, it’s a thing I wrote! Somehow I managed to write this during the process of moving to my new apartment, which was three whole weeks ago now. I don’t think I’ve ever cranked out a completed story this fast, but I guess not having the internet for a week is a great way to stay focused.
This one felt good to write. I like to explore my own thoughts through my writing and I sure had a lot to say this time. I ended up cutting a lot of stuff to keep it at a reasonable length and it still clocked in at over 8k words. And I always like seeing Zelda get a hug, because we all know she needs more of that.
So there you have it; my contribution to Hyrule Pride Week 2021 for aspec day.
