So I was reading ChanglingRins wonderful story, Dimensional Links, and the idea for this one struck me. Also! **looks at timeline. Throws it out window** there we go. Yes. This will work now.

Link stifled a yawn. Despite Midna's protests, it wasn't normal for someone to go over 78 hours with no sleep, and as such he felt he deserved a nice, long snooze.

Then again, maybe he should keep going, the third mirror shard shouldn't be too hard to find. Then again, once more, he'd said.. Well, thought that about the Master Sword, and yet he had to run all over the damned Lost Woods searching for a Skull Kid.

Yes, a nap sounded like a good idea. Not bothering to stifle his yawn this time around, Link pulled the blanket off of Epona's saddle bag, spread it on the relatively smooth cave floor he'd found, laid down, and slept.

His companion sighed, before slipping out of his shadow fully, and leaning again his side. Then, she too drifted off.

And together, the Hero of Twilight and the Twilight Princess slept.

Ganondorf stormed into his chambers. Negotiations with the King of Hyrule weren't going well. The damned man insisted that He, Ruler of the Gerudo, King Of Evil! Kneeled to him. As if.

A certain dream had been plaguing him as well. A young boy dressed in green would approach the castle gate, as Zelda and her damned attendant rode out on a white horse. He would follow soon after, where the boy would challenge him to fight. The fool. Then, the dream would differ everytime. Sometimes the boy died, other he dodged, and on the rare occasion, the boy would kill him, the king of Evil.

Ganondorf began playing with a spell, weaving it in between his fingers.

Maybe if he...

Farore smiled at the two, sleeping so serenely. While at first they'd had their problems, Courage had finally gotten Midna to warm up to him.

Moving away from the bubble which had shown the Goddesses that particular Courages adventures from the start, she drifted to another, which showed the Hero of Time, who hadn't quite started his adventure yet. She'd only just begun showing him the dream. Oh… Oh dear, that wasn't quite right. This… This could, would lead to the Hero losing. But, the interference laws…

Farore looked back at the Twilight Hero. Well, they never really said she couldn't do that, did they? Sure, she would have to bend this here, clone that there, but all in all, not change too much. As long as Nayru didn't find out.

Link and Midna slept in that cave, Epona soon joining them. And so, the three of them slept through countless days and nights, Zants cruel rule, as well as Ganondorfs, until wars broke out and the usurper King was overthrown. They slept as Hyrule's borders shrunk, and a forest began to grow where Eldin Field once was. A new race was born, the Kokiri, and the Gorons and Zora's underwent gradual changes until they were as a different species.

And still, the trio slept. Unnoticed by time, untouched by mortals, and unmoved by the changes in the land.

Finally, a castle burned, a lady fled and died for her child, the child grew until the age of ten, and-

Link opened his eyes.

Little short, but the story really starts off next chapter. Hopefully. I'm bad at planning, but things usually seem to work out.~ShadeShadow
