Disclaimer: Am I Nintendo? No, I'm the Vortex of Doom, and therefore, I do not own any official Zelda characters. Imagine that!
This story is my first attempt at making a Zelda fanfic. Or any fanfic for that matter. But not my first fic. I hope you like it, and in case you didn't guess, it's based on LoZ: OoT. That and Majora's mask are the best Zelda games ever. No offense to anyone who thinks otherwise. I haven't played too many others, but a large population of the world agrees with me.
I'd like if you reviewed, but don't feel the need. Also, flames are welcome. As long as they're not bitchfests of swearing and nothing meaningful. Not that I'm sensitive to that, more that I don't have the time and patience to read it.
Enjoy!
Vortex.
Dawn rose on the Kokiri forest. A young boy, about 10, was woken by a constant stream of "Hey!'s" and "Listen!'s" that would plague him in the years to come. But at this moment, a moment that he had endured 10 years of mockery and insults waiting for, it was the sweetest sound in the world.
"What?" He said, rubbing his head where… something…. had been hitting him. "Who's there?"
"Navi the fairy," the glowing winged creature said. "I was sent by the Great Deku Tree to help you, Link. He wants to see you."
"Me? Why me?" Link asked, puzzled.
"I can't tell you," Navi said. "By that, I mean, I don't know!" She said at the look of questioning on his face.
"Whatever," he said, looking rather disappointed. "Let's go see him, then."
No sooner had they left Link's house than an enthusiastic "Yahoo!" greeted them.
"Hey Saria," said Link. The green haired Kokiri girl was Link's best friend in the world.
"Hey Link. What's that? Oh my Gosh! You got a fairy!" Saria exclaimed. She was absolutely overjoyed to see that her friend wouldn't be an outcast for much longer.
"Yeah. Listen, Saria, I have to go see the Great Deku Tree, but I'll talk to you later."
They set off in the direction of the Great Deku Tree, but they were stopped by a young looking boy, though his eyes didn't look young, on the contrary. They looked very old, but very innocent. This was the great Mido, and he presided over the Kokiri.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked Link.
"I don't have time for this, Mido," Link stated. "I have a summons from the Great Deku Tree, an-"
"Where is it?"
"What?"
"Let's see the summons."
"Right here!" Navi said. Mido smirked.
"So, you've got yourself a fairy. You think that makes you suddenly good enough to see the Great Deku Tree? Think again." Navi did not look pleased.
"No, the Great Deku Tree thinks so. Ask him." Mido frowned.
"Well, at any rate, there are Deku Babas out there. Too dangerous to go there without a sword and shield.
"Fine then!" Link fumed. He'd had enough of Mido. He stormed off, determined to find the sword and shield. Mido smiled. He knew that the only sword that was in the forest was very difficult to find and dangerous to get to. He didn't think he'd be seeing Link for quite some time.
The shield was easy. At the shop, they made them. 40 rupees. Link rushed back home and grabbed his life savings. 70 rupees. He took them all out. Back to the store. He bought a deku shield, and in many ways, he was disappointed. It didn't look very sturdy. He had paid over half the amount he had saved in ten years. Oh well, it would get him past Mido.
Now for a sword. He searched all over town, but found nothing. Then he remembered. He had found that hole, up by the training ground, a couple years ago. He turned back because he was almost hit by a rolling boulder. This time he wouldn't turn back. He made his way through the hole. He waited until a boulder had safely passed him before he continued. He crawled out. A boulder was already coming his way. About halfway between himself and the boulder was a small alcove. It was his only chance. Could he make it?
He managed to squeeze himself into it. He quickly ran around corners, and dodged a few more boulders, and he found a treasure chest. He opened it, and found a sword. Link was absolutely ecstatic. He made a couple of close shaves with boulders on the way back because of his rush. But he made it back thankfully unscathed. He made it back to Mido. The Kokiri was dumbfounded. It had been less than twenty minutes.
"But, that sword was so well hidden, you'd never find it."
"Well, then it must be fake. I found it by the training grounds." Mido scowled unpleasantly at him.
"I went to the Deku Tree, he said that yes, you should come. Go ahead if you must." Link smirked at him and headed into the hollow stump on the way to the Great Deku Tree.

Well, my first chapter done. Second one's halfway done. In it, a new character is introduced. Link's not in it, but it's still very important, nonetheless.
