The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
{Chapter One}
Long ago, there were three goddesses that formed the world. Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land and created the red earth. Nayru, poured her wisdom onto the earth and gave the spirit of law to the world. Farore, with her rich soul, created all living inhabitants to uphold the law. When their work was done, the goddesses left the world but left the essence of their powers in what is called the Triforce. Upon obtaining the Triforce, one would get their greatest wish granted by the three goddesses…
"Link!"
"Uhnnn…"
"Hey! Listen!"
"Nnnhh…" I groaned, and rolled over, placing my bare feet on the wood floor of my tree house. As I reached up to rub my eyes, and clear the blurriness, I noticed a soft blue glow flailing in front of my face.
"Can Hyrule's fate really rely on such a lazy boy!"
Ehh? Is that shiny…thing YELLING at me?…Oh. A fairy… OH MY DIN A FAIRY!
"My name is Navi. The Great Deku Tree sent me to fetch you! Hurry up!" I wasn't sure what to say, so I put my usual Kokori boots and nodded. I have no idea why the Great Deku Tree would want to see me, but hey. I got a fairy. Awesome.
"Hurry! We have no time to lose!" Navi spazzed. Maybe not so awesome. We ran out- well. I ran outside, she… flew. I saw Saria running towards my house. She waved and yelled up at me.
"Yoo-hoo! Link!" After I climbed down the ladder, I turned towards Saria and she smiled then giggled at me. She was short, like all of us Kokori's. Her hair was short and green, and she had dazzling blue eyes. She wears the normal green Kokori outfit too… although hers is a little tight. She plays the ocarina as well. I can hear her playing from the Lost Woods sometimes, although I don't know why she always goes there. She also has never teased me for not having a fairy… speaking of fairies…
"Wow! You really do have a fairy! I'm so happy for you!"
"Heh, yeah. Apparently, the Great Deku Tree wants to see me, too."
"Wow! A summon from the Great Deku Tree? You're so lucky, Link!"
"Heh, yeah…" I grinned, and Saria spontaneously hugged me. My face turned slightly red.
"Hey! Listen! We need to hurry, Link!" Navi flew around us. This is going to get annoying.
"Oh! You shouldn't keep the Great Deku Tree waiting, Link! Go!" Saria released me from our hug, and then she smiled and waved.
"Right…" I ran off and waved a farewell to Saria, "Bye Saria!"
"Bye, Link.."
~.~.~ The Journey Begins~.~.~
As I ran away from Saria, I frowned slightly. My dream from last night was bugging me. I remember a white horse that came galloping from a drawbridge. Then a black horse with a big dark man riding it came out quickly behind it…
"Hey! Listen!" As Navi's aggravating voice rang in my ear, I again wondered if all fairies were this annoying. I stopped running to listen to whatever she had to say this time.
"Huh?"
"You can jump across these blocks in the water"
"…" We were standing in front of the pond, right next to the Kokori Shop. There were large platforms that stood out of the water, that I could navigate across. I leaped from platform to platform, until I reached the other side. I came to find Mako, conveniently standing in my way to the path to the Great Deku Tree. Great.
"Uh…"
"What do YOU want, Link? I see you finally got a fairy, what a waste on a loser like you!" Mido and his nasally voice demanded. Mido had orange hair, and blue eyes. He had freckles, and his nose pointed upward way too much. He has always given me a hard time.
"I have been summoned by the Great Deku Tree."
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Mido cackled annoyingly. He snorted a couple times, too. "You expect me the GREAT Mido to believe that the Great Deku Tree himself has summoned YOU!" Mido threw his already pointy nose further up into the air. Piggy, piggy, piggy… "You aren't even properly equipped to even be in the presence of the Great Deku Tree! Where's you sword? And your shield? Hmph!"
"…Great." Irritated, I turned around to search for some rupees. I knew that the Kokori Shop sold shields for about 40 rupees, but a sword? Navi flew in front of my face.
"Hey! Listen! Link! We need to-"
"I KNOW. I have to get a sword and shield first."
"…" I began to wander around, searching in bushes and under rocks for any stray rupees someone might have left, and eventually I had accumulated 30 rupees.
"There's only so much people drop…" I frowned, then walked across a suspended bridge that led to a tall and narrow platform in the middle of the Kokori Forest. On the platform I saw another Kokori standing there. She had blonde hair in pig tails, and wicked blue eyes.
"Hehe, I'm surprised you made it all the way up here. Take this!" She spontaneously handed me a red rupee. Sweet, a red rupee is 20 rupees, so now I have 50.
"Uh… thanks?"
"Hehe."
"…Bye." I jumped off the platform. She was kind of creepy. "Yeah! Now I just have to go buy it, but, what about a sword…"
"The Kokori Sword."
"Eh?" Navi frantically flew around.
"Follow me!" She led me to the Training Grounds, and showed me a small hole in the wall that I could crawl through. Why hadn't I noticed that before? Navi flew into my hat, and I crawled through the space. It turned out to be a maze, and there were giant boulders cha- eh?
"YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ABOUT THE BOULDERS!" I ran as fast as I could, taking random turns, and eventually found a clearing where I could rest and NOT get run over by boulders. Navi flew out of my hat.
"Sorry I didn't know about the boulders."
"Right… Huh?" There was a giant tree stump right next to me, with a giant treasure chest on top of it.
"…" I got up, and opened the chest. I found the Kokori Sword! "Doo doo doo doooo! Haha!" I grinned, and put on the sheath, then sheathed the sword. "Now I just have to go buy the Deku Shield!"
"Hey! Listen! We need to hurry-"
"I know, Navi. I know." So, I ran back to the Kokori shop and bought my shield and equipped it. Then I hopped back across the platforms to confront Mido.
"What? You think you can get it? Huh? Oh, you have a Deku Shield… but what's THAT! Is that the KOKORI SWORD? Good GRIEF. It's no matter though. A wimp is still a wimp, and I, the Great Mido, will never accept you as one of us!" Mido mumbled as he moved out of the way, "Hmph… First Saria, now the Great Deku Tree…" I smirked.
"Now to see the Great Deku Tree!" I ran down the path, and a Deku Baba popped up and surprised me. "Whoa!" I drew my Kokori Sword, and took a defensive stance.
"Attack it!"
"Uh… kay." I charged at the Deku Baba, and as I neared it, it attacked me with it's teeth with enough force to send me lying back. "Ouch! Attack it? How?"
"Hit it when it lunges at you, and it will stand upright. Cut it quickly to get a Deku Stick! Here!" Navi flew around the Deku Baba, and turned yellow.
"Why didn't you just- never mind." As I envisioned tapping the A button repeatedly to stab Navi, I attacked the Deku Baba, and defeated it. It dropped a Deku Stick, which I put into a pouch on my belt.
"There's no time to lose! C'mon!"
"OKAY OKAY." Whatever the Great Deku Tree wanted, I doubt it is worth the torture of hearing Navi's voice ring through my ears. As we neared the end of the pathway, a giant tree came into view. With a face. And a moustache. What?
"Great Deku Tree! I'm back!" Navi took off to see the Great Deku Tree. And as if the face and the moustache weren't enough, the giant tree started talking. I swear to Din, this is NOT normal.
"Navi… thou have doneth well…" Okay. Not only is it a tree with a face and a moustache and it talks, but it also has a speech impediment.
"Link…"
"Eh?" I looked around hoping there was another Link in the vicinity, but I wasn't that lucky.
"Cometh closer."
"I can hear you just fine from he-"
"Cometh closer!"
"Kay." I approached the Great Deku Tree and sat on the ground in front of him.
"Link… Thou must completeth thy's destiny…"
"…" How can he talk without his mouth moving?
"I don't haveth much time. An evil man from the desert cast a spelleth on me. Dost thou haveth the courage to defeat this evil?"
{Options:}
Yes!
No!
