Of course, Link doesn't remember much of those times of being waited on hand and foot (as the Princess's appointed knight, simply by corollary) at the castle. So many of his memories of Zelda are of her research out on the field, where she never hesitated to take charge and make creative suggestions exactly like that one - regardless of the cost to her pride.

So, he is neither surprised nor hesitant when she pitches the idea. The Princess of Hyrule, work? Sure, why not!

"That's a good idea -" Link agrees quickly, stumbling only when she joins him to help pat the flour from his clothes. (Also a good idea.)

He may also have a suggestion: "Do you... know how to bake?"
