Zelda Legend

"Your Majesty, the Bublins and Bokoblins are getting restless again." Princess Zelda turned from her window to fix her light blue eyes upon the young servant girl.

"Thank you for the information, Eshe. You can go," her soft yet commanding voice told the small figure. "Please send Impa in."

Eshe bowed her head. "Yes, Princess Zelda." The blonde-haired princess turned back to her window, gazing at the green, flowing fields.

"You sent for me, highness?" The princess turned around. A silver-haired woman stood in the doorway. She was dressed in midnight blue and a picture of an eye with a tear dripping from it was drawn on the center of her outfit. Zelda sighed.

"Yes, Impa. Are we alone?" she asked.

"Yes, your highness," the woman replied.

The princess nodded. "Good," she said and turned back to the window. "Impa... What am I going to do? The people expect me to know what to do about the Bublins and Bokoblins, but everything I try, more monsters come to fill in the others places. It will not be long until they attack the castle," Zelda murmured. She clenched her hand into a fist. "I only want to protect everyone, but I do not know what to do." Impa stepped forward and took the girl's hands in her own.

"Princess, as your bodyguard I've watched over you for years. You are a bright girl. I know you'll come up with something. These hands have built a wonderful kingdom, protected the people, and will do so much more. Have faith in yourself," the bodyguard kindly told her.

Princess Zelda nodded and smiled."Yes, of course. You are correct. Thank you Impa."

The older woman smiled. "Thank no one. It is you who will make the correct decision in the end." She paused. "Now what do you propose we do about the Bublins and Bokoblins?"

"Any ideas?"They smiled at each other.


"I do not approve of this idea, Princess." A few hours later the princess of Hyrule had come up with a plan, and not one that Impa liked. "As your bodyguard, I must caution you against this." Princess Zelda looked at her.

"This is the only possible way to uncover who is the master of the goblins."

"We can think of other ways. Please hear me, highness," Impa pleaded.

The princess just shook her head. "We have gone over the plan. The guards shall scare the creatures away and we will secretly follow them in their retreat to their master. When we discover who the leader is, we will arrest him and put an end to this."

"What I do not understand is why I cannot go with you."

"It is a possibility they could recognize you, Impa. I know you have done things before becoming my bodyguard that must have angered them. It is possible they could attack you instead of retreat."

"They might recognize you! What happens if they do attack and I'm not there?" Impa worried.

The princess sighed impatiently. "Impa, you are not the only one in the kingdom who can fight. And besides, the guards will protect me."

"We sure will, Princess Zelda," the captain of the guard broke in. Turning to Impa he told her, "Don't worry, madam Impa. We'll protect her highness with our lives." The bodyguard just grunted.

"I know you will, Jarred," the princess told him. Before Impa could protest again, Zelda turned to her guards. "Let us move out before we loose any more daylight." Glancing back, she reassured the older woman. "Don't worry about me. I shall be fine." And they left.


The party arrived at Hyrule field on horseback, where a group of Bokoblins were wandering around. Zelda was repulsed by the stink they gave off, but was certain no to show it. If she acted brave and fearless, so would her men. The princess urged her white mare forward and called out to the Bokoblins.

"Bokoblins! Hear me! You must leave Hyrule's fields or be forced out!" Her voice rang clearly and unwavering across the grass. The green goblins turned to stare at her. They stayed frozen and unmoving until Princess Zelda had to repeat her command. After she did, the creatures lurched together and spoke in their strange alien language. The princess heard her men shifting nervously as they waited for the reaction. The Bokoblins turned and started to shuffle away. Zelda was inwardly sighing with relief when one of the goblins raised a conch and blew it. In the distance moving figures suddenly appeared. The captain gasped.

"Your highness! I sight boars!" She whipped her head to him.

"Boars? But they could knock down the castle walls! We have got to stop them!" She spun and rode her mount toward the incoming threat.

"Come on men! We've got to protect her highness!" the captain commanded his soldiers and followed the princess. The rest of the guards galloped after them. Princess Zelda drew a slim silver sword from a sheath hidden beneath her dress.

"We must not allow the boars to reach the castle walls!" she shouted and swung at the nearest Bokoblin. Her weapon tasted blood as it sliced through the goblin's arm. It recoiled and fell to the ground. The guards also began fighting. However, the Bokoblins they were fighting weren't on boars and those beasts were the more immediate threat. The closest boars approached, their eyes wild and bloodshot. The stomping hooves seemed to shake the earth and dust lifted heavily into the air. Goblins riding the creatures pushed them faster and faster. The princess swung her sword each one, but more and more seemed to appear. She turned her horse around and urged it into full gallop to cut them off from ahead. That was when another boar smashed in from behind her.

Taken by surprise, her horse reared and knocked the astonished Princess Zelda onto the ground. Stunned, she looked up to find a gigantic boar charging straight at her. The Bokoblin riding the creature looked down and smiled wickedly. Zelda curled into a defensive ball and awaited the feeling of hooves about to trample over her. An arrow sprouted through the chest of the Bokoblin. It made a strange gurgling noise and fell onto the dirt next to the princess. She gasped as the monsters' moss green blood began flowing from its' chest. The boar, with no driver, wildly swerved around Zelda and the dead goblin, charging away from the chaos. A shadow fell over her.

"Get on."
