Author's Notes: Alright, here's that Zelda story I finally have written. I wrote this Prologue AFTER the first chapter, but once I finished the first, I decided to add to it to make the setting more clear.

The shadow gazed on at the entrance to Castle Town. It was barely sundown, and he was glad as his minions rose out of the darkness and searched for prey. It was a pity Castle Town was protected. The shadow made his way into the town, grinning as he felt the presence of more monsters at his disposal. Once he got into the town, he looked around. Multiple humans were scattered about, scurrying to their dwelling places and such as they were oblivious to the dark shadow's presence, but not to his monsters. With his newfound power, he could easily kill them all. The pitiful weaklings hadn't so much as a sword to defend themselves. He saw little furry mutts and felines. They happily ran about and pawed at the humans legs, begging for shelter. It was disgusting. The shadow searched around Castle Town until he saw a grand opening with torches on either side. He rose from the shadows, still invisible, and grinned again as he saw the castle. No one will stop me now, he thought as he became visible and walked up the steps. Two guards held their spears in an "x" formation and the one on the right said,

"Halt! State your name."

The shadow looked up at him, giggled, and then disappeared in a poof of darkness.

"Where'd he go?" one asked.

"Show yourself!" the bolder one demanded. As he looked around, he soon gave a pained grunt and looked down to see a sword sticking through his chest. He grunted more as the shadow brought the guard up with the sword and threw him hard against the wall. The other guard gasped and blocked an incoming horizontal slash as the other guard's blood got on his face. The guard tried to hold it but the shadow was too strong. The shadow laughed again and wrapped a strong hand around the guard's throat. He snapped it with one swift hand motion and stabbed the already dead body. He whipped his sword around as he dashed into the castle. Dozens of guards lunged at him, armed with swords and axes. He laughed as the pitiful humans tried to kill him as he merely dodged and viciously killed them. He then approached the Throne Room door and sheathed his sword. He whipped his hands together in a specific hand formation and threw them apart, shouting an echoing roar that released an immense shock wave that blew the doors in. He saw Princess Zelda and the King of Hyrule, they saw him. Zelda gasped as she saw a figure she didn't want to recognize. It was Dark Link. As he drew his sword, Zelda pulled out her rapier in a flash and pointed it at the shadow, ordering her guards to charge. As her guards closed in on Dark Link. He overpowered the guards and looked at Zelda and the King.

Surprisingly, he sheathed his sword. Zelda gasped as Dark Link pulled off a gauntlet and showed her his dark hand. The Triforce insignia glowed on it.

"Impossible." Zelda said fearfully, dropping her rapier. Then she and the King called upon the gods to give them the power to repel evil. Dark Link watched as Light Arrows appeared in Zelda's hands and she readied one. Dark Link stayed still, practically curious at what she would do. She fired an arrow at Dark Link. He deflected it with his sword without so much as a lack of interest. Zelda gasped again. Dark Link held his sword out straight up and the darkness around it chipped away. It revealed the Master Sword. Zelda dropped her arrows. She was paralyzed with fear and shock as the King stayed calm. He again called on the gods and Zelda was teleported away from Castle Town .

It had been a year since Link had ultimately defeated Ganon along with the aid of Midna and Zelda.

Author's Notes I'll give this some time and then post the next chapter.
