MARRIAGE RITUALS
By Catman
Starring Princess Ruto and Link from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
ARGH! Of all the females in the world, why did it have to be Ruto who stuck in his head?!
Link wondered this as he rode on Epona. It was a clear day, and the plains of Hyrule were beautiful this time of year.
With Ganondorf gone and the problems in Termina forever solved, Link was settling into a quiet life. He mainly traveled the countryside, trying to find ways to help anyone with their daily lives.
But he was also spending time with three very pretty women. Malon, Zelda, and... Ruto.
Oh, that name again. WHy was it her who made him feel this way? He HATED her! Didn't he? After all, when they first met, she was spoiled rooten and rude and unfeeling and...
But then... lately, everything has changed. She started growing up. And they have done things that were simply wonderful. But it all got very complicated just yesterday. And to think it started so well too...
****************
Lake Haylia. Link and Ruto often came here to watch the sunset. It was the one thing they both really loved. As the sun went down, they would talk about their days and plans for the future. But yesterday, something happened.
First, Ruto had given him a very expensive gift. It was a edged blade, adorned with Sapphires. He smiled at it. It was so light, it was as if it was made of water.
"Wow Ruto... Thanks!" He said, testing the blade.
She smiled and spoke in a voice which seemed musical.
"Commisioned it myself. The design, the weight, everything. I took every bit of how you fight into account." She smiled some. It was the first time since he had weilded the Master Sword that a blade seemed perfecty, just for him.
But that was just the beginning.
They went for a swim in the lake. It was free of monsters for the most part, and just right for a comfortable swim. They splashed around and just had fun.
How could they not? After all, the two had seen each other now for about 6 years. And they seemed the closest of thewm all,despite small problems they occasionaly had. Hard to believe, considering how they started.
But then, right there in the water, she looked into his eyes, and asked a very serious question.
"Link..." Ruto had said. "Will you marry me?" Link was silent for a moment.
"Ruto.... your Highness... I... I...can't yet..."
Ruto sighed some. "I know. It's because you are a Hylian and I'm... not." She wasn't angry about it, or rude... but hurt.
"But Ruto..."
"No... Why don't you go on home." She managed a smile. "Thanks for a wonderful evening Link." she then sliped under the water and began to swim to her home. And since then, Link had torn his hair out trying to figure out what to do!
*********************
The Hyrule librarian was not too busy today. No one wanted to come read a new book. At least, not until Link showed up, almost riding his horse right in!
"Sir!" He called to the librarian. "I need books on Zoras, please!"
The man smiled. "Getting some ideas for Ruto?"
"JUST GET THE BOOKS!" The man laughed and brought over one in particular. It was labeled "ROMANCE AND TRADITIONS OF HYLIAN RACES"
Link sighed and nodded, taking the book. He then went to a quiet corner and began to read. He looked for anything on Zoras. Finallly, he found it.
This is what he read:
"While full of grace and skil, it is clear that Zoras are one of the more mysterious of creatures. Young are often rude and sometimes seem spoiled, but as they age, they mature into graceful, wonderful beings. The oddity is that when they say they love someone, they will not stop loving that person, no matter what. They may seem rude to a person they love at a young age, but as they get older, the true feelings they have will show."
Link ahhed! "So, then... she really DOES love me!" He smiled some at the thought, realizing the whole story now and awwing some. He read on, intrigued:
"Mating rituals of ZOras are the only time shey show a cannibalistic side. Females will fatten males on meals of starches and fine meats until the male is fat. When properly fattened, the female will prepare and eat the male."
"WHAT?!" Link nearly shouted, prompty sushed by the librarian. He was nervous now. Ruto wanted to eat him? He read on, scared, but curious:
"Oddly, the male is not harmed, even if chewed oin by the female. Instead, he is massaged and held by the female for a duration of anywhere from hours to days. During this time, the male my inject his seed directly into the egg chambers of the female, thereby increasing the chance of fertilization by 60% if not more."
Liunk ahhhed. That made since. After all, Zoras are made differently from Hylians. He read the last part.
"WHen the male is released, the female symbolically takes a portion of her body and prepares it for his meal. This cut portion grows back after a short time. THis is to symbolize that they are one, living off one another and never seperated. While there are many variants to this mating ritual, Nobility especially follow this pattern. They always indicate their future lovemate and life partner by giving a sacred jewel to the one they care about: the Zora Sapphire. A wedding ring, it symbolizes a sort of betrothal, and while the reciever may turn it down at any time, it is rare. When the reciever gives back a gift of value of his own, the wedding plans begin."
Liunk stopped there. He knew all he need to know. Now, he had to think.

Wrapped in dough.
Ruto sighed as the baker wrapped her in dough for the nights offering. She had not smiled since she came homelast night, and the Zora was worried.
"Ruto..." the baker finally said. "Is everything alright? I have been preparing you as a offering for Jabu Jabu for sometime now, and this is the first time you seemed upset. What is the matter, your highness?"
Ruto looked up at the baker. "Link. I love him so much... But does he love me?" A small tear came down her cheek. "I know I am not the best in his life, asnd maybe he deserves better, but..."
"RUbbish." The baker said, smling at the Zora roll. "You justr started out wrong, that is all. Now you grown up. And you said so yourself that he wasn't upset about the kiss, he just didn't seem certain. Men are funny like that, I don't care what race they are from." He chuckled as he said that. The then carried the roll out to where Jabu Jabu was.
It was a story that started when she was a kid. She was initially scared of being food for the deity, but now she loved it. Inside the being she found peace and time by herself to think. She needed that now. She was thinking about letting Link go.
She loved him so much, but...
She hated the idea of losing him. She wanted to be with him, to be the mother of his children, to share life with him.
It was more than lust, or simple hero worship. Link was everything she had hoped for.
She was carried out to Jabu Jabu, a giant fish roll for him to swallow. She could escape easily, of course, but the appearence had to be perfect, or else the deity wouldn't let you in.The Zora princess had been denied entry almost as much as she was swallowed. But still, it felt nice doing this.
But there was a suprise waitring for her. As Jabu Jabu opened its humongous maw, there stood Link, soaked slightly with droll... butt naked save for his hat.
"You know princess," He started, "You really should feed him more. He tore the clothes right off me! Now how do you suppose I get some back, hmm?"
The Zora was speechless. She smiled, blushed, then started to giggle. Then, she started to laugh. Link joined in the laughter soon after, falling down out of the mouth,m nearly landing right on the fish roll with was Princess Ruto. She smiled at him and hugged and kissed. Only the cook seemed to say anything in all this, and when she did, she was totally lost by that point.
"Um, considering what we talked about in the kitchen your highness, did I miss something?"
****************
it was a couple hours later, and the Princess was back in the kitchen. but this time, she was the chef.
And Link was her main dish.
"You really read about that?" She asked, hearing about what Link read. "Now I wish I had told you sooner." Link smiled, laying on the counter, watching.
"I wouldn't have believed I don't think. But I haver to admit, as much as I have been eaten in my travels, by LikeLikes and Jabu Jabu and even once almost by a giant Octoroc, at least this was for a pleasant reason... to show love." She looked up at him, wide eyed. She didn't get out a word before she said something she had been longing to hear.
"I love you, Princess Ruto. I give you all I am to show that." Her eyes filled with tears, and her mouth quivered. She was speechless, her heart smiling more than it ever had. All was quiet for a moment.
Then, they kissed. She leaned over to him, and they joined their lips. It was so delicious for both of them, especially for Link. He wished he had done it sooner now, she tasted a lot better than any fish. In fact, she didn't taste like fish at all, but more like fresh berries from the forest.
The kiss lasted for some time, her tears of joy flowing, until she finally returned to her duty. She began first to season her lover with salt and pepper, rubbing it into his skin. He blushed when she touched his rear and testicles, the first time they had ever had contact in that area.
Oooooh, it felt so nice to the Hero. It was as if all the heroic deeds he had done were being rewarded all at once, one hundred times over. The body massage was so wonderful, the Zora clearly was a pro. She smiled some as she worked.
"I always wanted tro eat you Link." She said. "I wanted to feel you inside me, making love inside my belly..."
Link had to admit, more and more that was sounding wonderful. He smiled a litle as Ruto began to lay him on his belly, tying up his ankles. She then got out a large bottle and began to smother smother him in the tangy tartar sauce which was in it. He was about to say someting when a big, ripe apple was shoved into his mouth. He started to have some second thoughts about this, but he wanted to show her he loved her.
He thought about that statement. After the way it started, after all the confusion, he could admit it. He LOVED her. He wanted this. He didn't even care if he came back out when she was done with him. He wanted this.
SHe smiled as she surveyed her work, the Hylian lying there, looking like a fresh catch. she licked her lips some, and began to open her mouth. Funny, Link had never noticed her open it so wide before. Inside looked so inviting. Her tounge was larger too, like a big, pink carpet, rolled out for him as if he ws royality.
And he wanted on it.
He mmphed as she lifted him close and began to take him in head first. She mmmed at the taste, so wonderful to her. She had never tasted a Hylian before, beyond the kiss, and Link tasted delciious! She mmmed and began to suck him in, slowly at first, then quicker, the taste overwhelming the princess.
Link was clearly loving this was well, struggling only slightlyt, but not enough to hurt her. He mmmphed and moaned, going wide eyed for a moment as his rod began to extend. He couldn't help it, this just felt so wonderful! Inside the Zora was wet and slippery, and it was all just too much for the Hylian to take in.
And then, it happened. When Link was in just below his thighs, he began to grind his member along Rto's tounge. The princess of the Zoras loved the taste of this so much. She could TASTE his passion... his love.
He DID love her! She knew it by how he tasted! And that made her cry once more. His taste was made even better when he added his own sauce, adding a rich salty flavor to the meal.
Once done, the Zora held him there, suckling him, mming at how he tasted, until, at last, she gulped him in slowly again. Oh.... the mix of tastes, of tartar sauce and Hylian excitement... it was a one in a lifetime combination.
As Link desended into her belly, he was loving this too. Inside her was wet and slippery and wonderfuly soft. it was like he was in a lovebed, massaged all over all at once. He couldn't move at all, he was so much in bliss.
"Ohhhhhh... That was soooo delicious!" Ruto said, the sound musical even from inside the Zora. "Oh Link, I knew you were the one I would love. Get cozy, my darling, and enjoy the ride."
Link smiled around the apple as the belly went to work. a hole towards the bottom opened and Link could only smile as he barely saw what it led to: Her womb, which had a single egg in it.
Link smiled some and imagined what their children would look like, and how many they would have. He hoped she would eat him more and more. But, in the back of his mind, he hoped Ruto would cook some of her leg for him when he gets out.
After all, it was tradition.
TO BE CONTINUED, AS LOVE NEVER ENDS.
