Hello, it's me! The Princess of Zelda games: Princess JennieO of Hyrule 64! I haven't wrote any fan fics in a while, so I made this fic based on how I think the four Links came to be! So if you haven't already, go to my profile to see the three Links' profiles so you can get the idea of what the Links were before becoming a 'Four Link' under the curse of the Four Swords. Hope you enjoy! Changes into a fox and chases a butterfly for some amusement
Purple Link: Princess JennieO of Hyrule 64 does not owned Zelda 'cause Nintendo owns the Four Swors Adventure game, but she DOES own 'Prince' Link, Yo-Ko Link, and Hikari Link so if you try to take them without her permission, She can sue you!
CHAPTER ONE: VAATI'S RETURN
It is a peaceful day in Hyrule, as a boy was napping under the shade of a tree. He was dress in a green tunic that nearly blend with the grass around him, his green cap resting on his chest.
"LINK! WERE ARE YOU!" Called a voice. The youth woke up from his nap, giving a great yawn as he stretch his arms out. "Link!" The voice called again.
The boy, Link, got up to the sitting position, rubbing his eyes open he called back, "Coming!" Link jumped to his feet and head towards the house that sat on a small mount. He entered the house to see a old man, a girl, in a old, hand-me-down looking white dress, was waiting next to him.
"Hi, Link, I was waiting for you to come to the Picori Festival," Explained the girl, walking up to Link, "That is if it's O.K by your Grandpa."
"Well, I don't see why not, after all, I do have another errand for you to do," the elder answered. He handed a blade to Link, "A challenger made a order for this blade to be made for him before the tournament today, will you take it to him before you enjoy yourself at the festival?" he asked.
"I'll take it to him, Grandpa," replied link, taking the blade from his Grandpa and sling it on his shoulders. Link turned to the girl," Let me go get my sword and shield, Zelda, it won't take long." He dashed upstairs into his room. Once there, Link grabbed his shield, but hesitated on which sword to take: the Four Swords or his old blade his Grandpa gave him? He shrugged as he reached for his old blade, but paused, what if something happens like last year's festival?
Last year, Link remembered that a Wind sorcerer named Vaati won the tournament, but broke the seal on the Picori Blade, releasing all the evil spirits into the land of Hyrule. Vaati was about to turn Zelda into stone when Link got between them to stop the spell from affecting Zelda. Unfortunately, the spell knocked Link aside and unconscious as it flew at him. Zelda was turned to stone, so Link went on a adventure to restore Zelda to her original state, along with a talking hat named Ezlo.
Ezlo, was really a Picori sorcerer who was changed into a hat by Vaati, who was Ezlo's apprentice before Vaati became a evil sorcerer. If Link didn't ran into Ezlo in Minish Woods, Link would have never found out about how to lift the curse off of Zelda and Ezlo. And the Four swords was the only thing that reminded Link of Ezlo.
Link reached his hand over to the Four Swords' handle, Something inside of Link made him feel that he should take the sword with him. Link swung the Four swords on his back and left the room."I'm ready, Zelda, lets go now," Link announced, jumping off the last three stairs. The Four Swords' handle caught the two's attention as it gleamed in the light.
"And What's that for, Link?" his grandpa asked, pointing to the blade on Link's back. Link looked over at his blade's handle, the handle was really noticeable. Zelda was also looking at the blade, but turn to Link's Grandpa, " You know, I don't think it will hurt to just let him take his Four Swords for once, after all Link didn't use his blade since last year."
Link's grandpa thought for a moment until he looked up at the two," Aright you two can go, but Link," he signaled his grandson over. As soon as Link came over, his grandpa finished his sentence," Try not to get hurt again will you? It's hard on me to sometimes see you all injured and fatigue from what ever you were doing on your adventure, that is if you go on another adventure again, Link." Link nodded, "I'll try not to Grandpa." His grandpa patted his shoulder, "I'll see you later, Link."
Zelda opened the door , calling to Link," Come on, Link! We're going to be late for that delivery!" Following Zelda, Link ran after her calling out,"Hey, Zelda, you think it's weird for taking my Four Swords?" She stopped to glance at Link,"Not really, why you ask?" Link looked down,"It's because I have this strange feeling about the blade, like as if I need this sword for something that's coming this way. . . Well, let's just see what's ahead for us, Right?" Zelda nodded as she smiled," Right."
Link looked at Zelda's dress again," What's with the old dress? You look like a commoner to be, Zelda. . . not to insult you." Zelda giggled,"I actually I dressed as one so I wouldn't be recognized easily by others, and besides, I couldn't always have to wear the new dress I always wear you know!" The two burst out laughing as they continue their way to town.
Meanwhile waiting outside a building, a man was lending against the wall, waiting for someone, until he saw two kids walking over to the sword tournament's entrance. He stood in front of them, causing the two to look up. "Um, may I help you two?" he asked. The boy took a paper slip out of his tunic, "Yeah, I'm kinda looking for someone by the name of Beowulf. Is he were?"
The bearded man smiled, "I'm Beowulf, does it concern the sword I order from the blacksmith, Smith?" The boy nodded as he lifted the ready-made blade up, sliding the sword from it sheath, revealing the silver blade to him. "See, sir? It has your initials here near the hilt." Beowulf nodded in agree meant,"Yup, this is the blade I ordered." He took out a leather bag and pour three red gems on his hand, then hand the gems to the boy as they simultaneously hand each other the objects they had in their hands. The gold handle of a blade that was strap to the boy's back got Beowulf's attention.
"Would you mind if I ask you were you got that sword?" the man asked, then added," If it's for sale,can I buy it off of you? For an extra 200 rupees?" The boy shook his head, "Sorry, but this blade is too valuable to be sold." "Oh, well give my thanks to Smith for this blade will you?" The boy nodded, then left with the girl towards the castle.
"Halt you two!" a guard at the gate ordered, standing in the children's way," Have you by change see the Princess Zelda?" Zelda laughed,"Do I really look like a commoner, Shiro?"
"Prin-Princess Zelda? Why are you dress like that?Oh- forget the question I asked you! The Minister was looking for you Zelda! He had to ask me ten times before leaving me alone!" Shiro stammered.
A tingly feeling suddenly enshroud Link ever since he stepped on to Hyrule castle grounds. He looked over at the main entrance as the voices of Zelda and Shiro faded and the voice of Vaati echoed clearly in his head,'I will return and I will try to get get the Light Force, even if I have to wait until the end of the world.'
"Link?. . . Link, are you O.K? Link?" The boy shook his head,"Sorry, what were you saying?" The girl sighed" I said I have to tell the minister that I'm going to the Picori Fair. Can you wait?" "Yeah, sure, I'll wait." Zelda ran in the Castle as Link sat down against the stone wall, closing his eyes again.
"Trying to take a catnap?" asked Shiro. "Hey, it's not easy making blades at 3:50 in the morning and still be up at this time you know. . ." Link yawned as he stretch his arms behind his head. Shiro agreed.
"My dad gave me permission to go, Link! Come on let's go!" Zelda exclaimed, running up to Link,"Link, how late did you stay up last night?"she asked, placing her hands on her hips. The boy sleepily got up,"Like at 3:50 in the morning.""Well then, let's GO!" Zelda grabbed Link's hand and jerked him suddenly towards the town, nearly making him eat dirt as he cried out in surprise.
After a while off chasing Zelda through crowds of people, children, cuckoos, and anything else that was at the festival, she stopped to hear the victory bell at the sword tournament stadium ringing. "Link, that's the bell for the winning champion I have to go the castle again, are you coming?" Link nodded.
At the castle, Shiro bowed slightly as the Princess of Hyrule and the hero past by him again. The tingly feeling Link had earlier returned to him suddenly again. Just at that moment, a man ran to Shiro, panicking as though he saw a ghost," Sir! Something terrible has happened! My daughter was kidnapped by some dark soldiers while she was out in the front of the house! Did the king know about this?" "No, you were the first person that I know that had your daughter kidnapped, I'll go inform the King right away, sir." While Shiro went to the castle in a hurry, the man called out to him," Thank you!"
Link begun to think that something had to do with the Elemental Sanctuary in the castle, but wasn't only opened every one hundred years? It wouldn't hurt to go check the sanctuary out himself, since Link and Ezlo were the only ones that were able to see it. Link ran into the castle, past the two guards that stood at the door way, down the stairs to the castle garden that was inside the Castle. He stopped in front of a glowing door that cause the tingly feeling in Link to become stronger. Link gulped as he stepped into the darkness and continue walking into the dim light until the room grew brighter the farther he walked.
"Link? Is that you?" a voice asked that Link was highly familiar with. "Ezlo? You're here?" Link approach a old man wearing a green robe and wielding a walking staff, "You're here!" The old man laughed, "Yup, it's been a year that we haven't seen each other,eh?" "But, why is the Elemental Sanctuary open, wasn't it suppose to be opened every one hundred years?" "I know," replied Ezlo, his voice sounding serious, "It's that fool, Vaati again."
"So that must be the reason why a girl got kidnapped," thought Link out loud. "Not only is it just a girl, she's the decedent of a line of six powerful maidens," Ezlo turned to think about the problem," he must be kidnapping the girls to regain his lost power after that battle with him last year." "Could I just find him and defeat him-" "No, this job is too difficult to take on your own." Ezlo interrupted, "Your sword isn't called the Four Swords for nothing, you're the element of wind, now your first assignment is to find the remaining three element wielders : fire, water, and earth." Link looked down,"But who is the other three?"
"I don't know for sure, but I could tell you the wielder of the element water is a fisher boy named Hikari, the wielder of the element fire is a yoh-ko named Yo-ko, but he's accompanied by the wielder of the element earth who will refuse to tell his name at once, I wish I could join you in this adventure, but I'm afraid that I'll be slow for you. If you do find all three elemental wielders, I'll be here so bring them here, there, I'll tell you what to do." Link nodded in agreement, "I'll be back, Ezlo!" As Ezlo watch Link leave the Sanctuary, he muttered to himself," I'm getting too old too quickly.
There you have it! Link is going on an adventure to find the other Links to wield the Fours Swords so they can defeat the evil Vaati! Who will our hero find first; the water, fire, or earth wielder? Find out on my next Chapter!
