**Chapter 5: The Aftermath of Ayumi's Amusement**

A few days had passed since Ayumi's visit, and the usually robust Link lay in his bed, looking pale and fragile. Zelda sat beside him, her hand on his forehead, feeling his scorching hot temperature. She had been taking care of him around the clock, but it seemed that her efforts were in vain. Link's condition only worsened with each passing hour. Zelda's anger and frustration boiled over as she paced back and forth in the room, her long hair flowing behind her like a fiery banner. "How could she do this to him?" she muttered to herself, her eyes blazing with fury. "Ayumi and her ridiculous movie choice... I should have known better than to let her pick the film." As she paced, Zelda's mind replayed the events of the previous days. She remembered how Link had been laughing and joking with Ayumi, and then how he had suddenly become ill after watching that awful movie. She recalled the look of amusement on Ayumi's face as Link had succumbed to his fears, and her anger grew. Zelda stopped pacing and glared at the door, as if expecting Ayumi to walk back in and face her wrath. But the Holodrumian princess was long gone, back in her own kingdom, no doubt laughing and joking about her cruel prank. Zelda's hands clenched into fists as she thought about the pain and suffering Ayumi had caused Link. The door creaked open, and Impa entered with a tray of steaming hot soup. "Your Highness, I brought some medicine and soup for Link," she said, her voice soft and concerned. Zelda's expression softened slightly as she took the tray from Impa. "Thank you, Impa. I don't know what I would do without you." She spooned some soup into Link's mouth, trying to coax him into eating. As Impa helped Zelda care for Link, the older woman's expression turned serious. "Your Highness, I think we should consider finding out more about that movie. If it's as bad as you say, we don't want anyone else to be affected by it." Zelda's eyes narrowed. "I'll take care of it, Impa. I'll make sure that Ayumi regrets ever bringing that movie into our kingdom." Her voice dropped to a whisper, the menace in her tone unmistakable. "I'll make sure she pays for what she's done to Link." Impa's eyes widened slightly, but she said nothing, simply nodding and continuing to help Zelda care for the ailing hero. As the night wore on, Zelda's anger and worry only intensified, her mind consumed by thoughts of revenge and retribution against the careless princess who had brought her friend such suffering.
