Summary
She saw a vague, blurry movement of his hands, and then he turned around and began walking away again. Probably because he saw how she was crying and was kind enough to leave her alone since she chose to do so where no one else was around.
Except she didn’t really want to be alone. She cried because she was.
“Wait.” Perhaps it was selfish to want the only person who wouldn’t ask for an explanation, the only person she knew who couldn’t, but he was kind enough to pause. “You can stay.”
Her blurry vision caught another movement of Link’s hands. Only now did she realize what it was—of course a mute boy would communicate with sign language. Unfortunately, even if her tears didn’t impede her ability to see it clearly, she hadn’t studied it enough to know more than the most basic of signs.
“I don’t know what you said,” Zelda told him. She wiped away the tears again, taking a deep breath to try to calm herself. It seemed she had gotten enough of the tears out that it helped finally. “I hardly know any of that. Maybe I should.” -

Summary
He trailed off as he looked up and met her eyes. A beautiful deep brown with a smile lurking in them. Her skin was tanned but he could still make out dozens of freckles on her nose and her long blonde hair puffed out behind her, almost as if it were floating.
She was probably the most beautiful person Link had ever seen. And that was even before her bow-shaped lips widened with a toothy smile that made his cheeks warm up with a blush.
Now he couldn’t speak for reasons entirely unrelated to being an introvert.-
