3w4dw drabble - Zelda

Princesses didn't muck out stables. Princesses wore gowns of silk dripping with pearls and tip-toed on velvet rugs; they did not wear boots while stamping through piles of crap and hay. Princess Zelda had a scepter and Malon had a shovel.

Princess Zelda was gone. Dead, probably, said the Gerudo, who shrugged at rumors of a blond-haired hero who had been seen at the border of the Lost Woods. Alive, certainly, said Ganondorf, who disappeared into the bowels of the castle to study. Malon secretly hoped Zelda was alive, because she couldn't imagine a Hyrule without its princess.

She sighed and blew an errant strand of hair out of her eyes and then wiped her sweat-wet face. Boots were more comfortable than high heels, anyway.

Hey! I remember playing a Zelda game...I just don't remember when. Back when the graphics were not as cool, I suspect.

I played the first game waaaaaaay back in the day. And by "play" I mean run randomly around until I died and then handed the controller back to my neighbor whose Nintendo it was.

It's still one of my favorite series, all these years later. I think between me and my boyfriend, we have all the games. Because we dorks.

I can't believe I don't have any Star Wars userpics!
