Link's New

Enemy

Chapter 1

Link has finished his showdown with Gannondorf, he is now at Lake Hylia on top of a dead tree playing his ocarina that was given to him by Zelda. It seems like he is depressed by the look of his face.

"Zelda," whispered Link, "Where are you? Did you leave Hyrule? What have I ever done to you? I wanted to tell you that-" "Hey Link!" Link looked down and saw that it was Sheik. "Link," Sheik would ask, "Is it about Zelda again?" "Uh," Link sighed, "Yeah, so what if it was about Zelda? I was just wondering where Zelda was and that I hope she returns to me, uh, I mean Hyrule." Sheik folded his arms. You may not know it, but inside his wrappings, he smiled.

"Link," Sheik chuckled, "You know if you do-" "No Sheik it's not what you think," he interrupted, "Besides, we do have to find her, I'm sure the King is worried." Sheik stood there and thought to himself, 'This guy likes Zelda eh?' After hesitating he said, "Link, you sure there is nothing wrong with you?" Link said, "nothing." Navi giggled. "You know that you just want to-" Link held onto Navi and simpered.

Sheik hesitated again, then said, "Link, since you're that desperate, I think it's about time I told you." Navi and Link looked at him. "Told me what?" Link asked. "Well, I don't think I can fully tell you though. But before you loose your self-confidence in Zelda, I'll just tell you that she's still in Hyrule." Link jumped off the tree and went up to Sheik. He looked straight into Sheik's eye and said, "Why can't you tell me! I have to know! I know that sooner of later I, I mean the King! (Yeah that's right!) The King will be upset with me because I don't know where she is!" "Yeah!" buds in Navi. "Cool down Link, it's just Zelda, I know where to find her. I'll just tell you when I think it's time." Link felt stupid. He leaned on the side of the tree saying, "Ok Sheik, I'm worried about Zelda. I haven't seen her for almost seven years already. Besides, how do you know she's here?" Navi giggled and clapped her hands. "See, I told you! I told you that-" Link grabbed her and stuffed her in his hood.

Sheik said, "Well, she's with-" "Look, who are those guys coming in?" interrupted Navi. She pointed to the direction where she saw people. Sheik looked; he saw guards and "Vaip!" "Huh?" Navi and Link said at the same time. Then he said, "What did you say Sheik?" "Link," Sheik would say, "You see that guy over there?" Link looked and saw another Guard different from the other ones compared to their armor. He had black hair with armor and black robes over and a sword in one hand with daggers hanging from the belt of his armor. Link hesitated and said, "Who is that guy Sheik?" "That's Vaip." After that, Sheik didn't say anything until the group of men came towards them to the little island they were on.

The man with robes over his armor came up to them first. Then he said, "I am Vaip, you may have heard about me from the King (May he live forever). But that is not what is important. Link, Zelda is missing and that the King says that you may know something about her disappearance for the last 7 years. If you do know where she is, let me know. I must tell the King, I'm sure I'll be awarded with fine Rupees as usual." Navi struggled to get out of Link's hood. Link didn't notice and she flew out. "I think that we can tell the King ourselves. And besides, whatever we do, doesn't matter to you." Link said it in a way where you would feel like the person talking to you is bragging. Vaip took several steps towards Link and grabbed the upper part of his tunic. He would pull him up against his face almost touching his nose and saying, "I see you want to take this all to yourself eh Link? ("I didn't say that," Link would say.) Well, let me tell you this! If you don't find her within 10 days, then you'll be finding yourself in execution. I might even convince the King for him to exile you! (Laughs)" He throws Link to the ground and walks away laughing. Some of the other guards would laugh along insanely.

"What's with him? He thinks that he's all that just because he has his big group of people. If I was 50 times bigger, I'd show him what a true fairy can do!" She formed fists out of her hands and pretended to punch. Link sighed as Sheik helped him get up from the ground. Sheik would stare at him for a moment and then say, "He's been going after Zelda for years already Link. He said that in his room once. It's just a good thing that I'm always there to protect Zelda with Impa."

"Hey Sheik," Link hesitated trying to get all the thoughts out of his mind, "You and Impa, you have some relationship with each other?" "Yes, she's my mom." "I never knew that. So you were born in the castle. But hey, where is Impa right now? Do you know where she is?" Sheik looked down and said, "No, but one things for sure is that she went somewhere. I don't know where though. She said I'm going to have to go to this certain place, too. I asked her where, but she never told me about it. After she helped Zelda escape from the castle…I don't know where's she's been. But she said one day I'll meet her again." Navi looked confused. "I don't get it." Link sat down and sighed. Then he said, "Well, I got to be going now." "Where to?" Sheik and Navi asked. "Back to the past."

"But why? Isn't it nice here?" Sheik said as he was standing up. "Sheik, you wouldn't understand." He sighed, "Alright Link, it's been nice knowing you. I hope we meet again and remember this day when I was able to talk to you for the last time." "Don't you want to come along?" Link asked. "Link," Sheik said, "It is the way of the Sheikah to not watch a fellow friend leave. Good-bye." The both of them shook hands and Link would take out his Ocarina. He played Prelude of Light and disappeared with Navi. Sheik would take out a Telenut (a teleporting nut) and throw it on the ground. Then he disappeared, too.

When Link got to the Temple of Time, he gasped, "Zelda!" Link would say in astonishment, "What are you doing here?" Navi flew to Zelda and fluttered around her. Then she hit her and nodded. "Yup, she's real alright." Link lowered his eyelids and sighed. Zelda cried, "Link, you can't possibly go can you? I've always wanted to be with you. But of what's been going on, I thought that it would be a lot safer being in disguised as a Sheikah. I called myself Shannon." Link stared and then said, "So you were a Sheikah all this time huh Zelda? But then, do you know who Sheik is?" Navi flew to Link and hit his head. "Hello in there? He's her guardian! Just like I'm yours!" Link lowered his eyelids and grabbed Navi. "Atleast he's not a guardian who is as annoying as you are." She grunted and flew back to Zelda.

All of a sudden a flash of light filled the room. Link covered his eyes and then looked up again to try to gain focus. What he saw was another person. It was Sheik. Link stared and then said, "Sheik, I thought you wouldn't come. I thought-" "It's doesn't matter Link, well, I guess Zelda found her own way to get to you." He looked at Zelda. "Zelda," Link would say, "All this time, you have been with Sheik? And you disguised yourself as a Sheikah? And you never told me?" Zelda frowned. "I'm sorry Link, but if I did tell you, then you could've told my father cause of Vaip. I had to hide a little longer to make sure that I was sincere that you wouldn't tell the King. I guess Sheik didn't have a chance to tell you this. And I'm sure that you've already met Vaip. I wasn't going to tell you so soon but there's something I have to show you."

Zelda took out a Deku Nut and threw it on the ground. Another flash of light came. Link looked up and saw a different person. Then he realized that it was Zelda. But she looked more like a Sheikah. Her hair was white with a bang sticking out. She has a purple tunic that didn't have a skirt. Her sleeves and stockings where white. And her boots where also purple. The girl that was once Zelda came up to him and said, "Link, don't be startled, but this is my Sheikah form that I have been in for 7 years already. You may have only saw Sheik when he spoke to you, but what you didn't know was that I was always around. You just didn't see me. I was hiding, if you did saw me, then you might've have seen me and ask about me. I didn't want to reveal myself to you yet. But now I guess it's time to show you the truth now that you are going back to the past.

"Link, before you do go, I just want to tell you that I've always admired your skills. I know that I can't convince you to stay since you have things to do in the past. But I hope one day, when I see you again, that I recognize you and that we can get to know each other more." Link looked at her face and saw her crying. She turned back to her Zelda self and said, "It's been nice knowing you Link." Link went closer to her and gave her a little kiss. He whispered in her ear "Zelda, where ever I go, I'll always love you."

Zelda cried even more. Sheik went behind her and rested his hand on her shoulder. She turned around looked at him. Then she would turn again back to Link. Link would back away a little more and then say, "Would you like to come and watch me leave?" Zelda ran up to him and held his hand. Then she said, "Alright Link. This will be the last time we'll ever be with each other. I hope to find another man like you in Hyrule someday." They both walked up to the Pedestal of Light. From then, Zelda let go of Link's hand and gave him the last kiss. Sheik came from behind and said, "Link, if you see me in the past, tell me about the future. I'm sure I'll get curious about it. So long Hero of Time. Hyrule will never forget what you did for this land." Link smiled and went up to the Pedestal of Light. He took out his sword and stuck it in the stone and laid it to rest.

All of a sudden everything turned blue. Before Link couldn't get glimpse of Zelda, he said, "I love you Zelda!" Zelda yelled back, "And I love you Link!" As everything turned blue, Link felt a trance and fell asleep. So all in Hyrule in the future has been saved. Now that Link is going back to the past, he can now fulfil his life. But will there be more things to encounter?

Zelda's Goodbye

I made a mistake that cost us both

a heavy price to pay,

I can't believe I was so foolish

on that fateful day.

Now it's time for you to go

back to make it right.

Your trying quest is over,

we have won the fight.

In the past I will now know

what you and I bother shared,

I'm telling this so when your back

you will be prepared

to see me shocked to see your face,

I will not now your name

I will not know our ties

I will not know why you came.

but somehow, someday I promise you

I'll be with you again. You'll see

love will reunite us both

together we will be.

Love is so strong it will find us once again,

it will not be forgotten,

even when the future's been.

So good-bye for now my own true love,

my heart will not forget.

Visit me at the castle's yard,

there I will sit.

I may be startled my you sight,

I may just stand and stare,

but deep down inside I still will know

my hero's standing there.
