The man was not Ganon…
But in the eyes of the royal family, he was on the same level as him.
A man the royal family needed to destroy before he destroyed everything.
A man in blue and black, the guards dragged through the angry crowd.
A man who was beaten and bruised.
A man who wished for death.
He was going to get his wish, the pain, and feeling of betraying will fade.
The only regret he had was not listening to Link, leaving his younger sibling with nothing and no one.
Well, nothing…
Before the sword came down upon his head, he prayed that the Tri-Force of Courage- something that no one knew he had- will go to Link after his death. So that Link will have some protection.
The man's blue eyes looked up once last time to glare at the smiling advisor who was cascaded in shadows.
The one who betrayed the man.
The one who will destroy everything.
Please Link… finish what I started and protect Hyrule.
That was the man's last thought.

Five Years Later
Blue eyes opened and looked around the room trying to figure out where the noise was coming from. A loud banging noise that echoed through the house. A noise that seemed to be getting louder and the youth could hear whoever it was yelling.
"Link!" The voice called out, "Get up boy, we have work to do."
With a sign Link got out of bed and to the small window to the left of the bed.
It's too early for this, Link noted as "he" noticed that it was still dark out, and "he" couldn't help but to glare at the man at his door who stopped his banging on Link's door and look up at "him"
"Sorry to wake you like this, but one of the Horse's is in Labor, and we need some extra help," the man called up.
Be down in a few minutes, Link signed, and then "he" turned away from the window to get change… and to re-wrap "his" chest. Making the young blonde look like any other boy from the village- well at least tried to, since most people believed that Link was too pretty to be a boy.
If only they knew, Link thought.
Then again if they really knew that Link was a girl, they might kick her out of or they would make her do "women's" work… and she would get paid less; Link barely had enough to get by as it is.
Though being a farm hand probably paid the best, so Link couldn't lose this job based on her gender.
Link could not let that happen.
"Hey Link hurry up!" the voiced called again, though when he went to knock on the door, it opened, and he almost hit Link in the face, "oh, sorry I didn't hear you making your way to the door. Damn boy make some noise!"
Yeah, but what would be the fun in that. Link actually liked sneaking up on people just to see the look on their face. Plus, it one of the only ways for her to entertain herself. Especially since she refused to hang out with the boys just to have them yell at her for being a better swordsman than all of them combine.
Not to mention that it reminded her of him. Her older brother taught her how to use a sword before he left...the last memory Link had of her brother, Griffin, was his giving her a sword (which she kept in a trunk at the foot of her bed), and then he left. Only to be marked as a traitor and die a few months later.
"Link are you alright?" the man asked, causing Link to force those thoughts away.
She looked at the man and nodded as he lead her through the village and towards the farm.
Both saying nothing as they walked through Kakariko Village, the place Link called home since they found her half dead outside the village gates. Though she couldn't help the sense of Deja Vu when she first arrived. Something about it was familiar and yet different… she didn't know how to describe it, just the things she's done here.
Well, it felt like she's lived through this before. But didn't know why.
Again Link shook away her straying thoughts. She need to focus, to keep her mind blank and not wander off and disconnect with the world around her.
She had a job to do.

A wolf watched the blonde yawn as she walked through the village with a man.
The wolf didn't know what to think about the girl… though maybe he thought the same way when the wolf was in the girl's shoes so many eons ago.
And pretty soon the false sense of peace the girl is feeling is going to end.
The wolf pitied the girl for it.
