Disclaimer: I wouldn't be writing this is if I owned Zelda, now would I?

A/N: I finally decided to write the idea for a fanfic of LoZ. I certainly hope you guys like it! If you have any questions about the story thus far, please, don't hesitate to ask! Although, I will not answer if it would spoil anything that I will write about in future chapters.

Another A/N: This is my first time writing in the 3rd person narrative. If you spot something wrong, don't hesitate to point it out to me! I welcome all the criticism.

Now, for the story! Again, I hope you enjoy it!

Dear Goddesses
Chapter 1- A Meeting in Hyrule

Amber sighed and stomped up to her bedroom with her best friend, Jenny, following her.

"Come on, Amber! Why can't you go, just this once?" Jenny whined.

Amber turned her head sideways, half-glaring at her bff. "I already told you, Jenny, that I'm not going! I don't want to go to some half-assed party just because Caleb invited me, got it?"

Jenny sighed, nodding. "Got it."

"Good," Amber huffed, continuing to her room. She waved her hand, shooing Jenny away.

After she closed her bedroom door, Amber heard a loud, deliberate sigh and footsteps going back downstairs. She turned towards her mirror, and instantly smiled. "Ah, how I love those pictures."

She took down one of the pictures, a picture of her favorite Legend of Zelda character, Link, and hugged it. "If only you were real, Link. Then I'd actually have a reason to not go out with Caleb." She sighed and set the newly crumpled picture on her desk.

Amber sighed again and hit her head on the desk.

"Amber, hunny, dinner!" Amber lifted her head and looked at her closed door.

"I'm not hungry, Mom!" She yelled.

"Fine. I'll just leave the leftovers in the fridge for you," she heard.

Joy. Leftovers for dinner. Amber mentally rolled her eyes and reached for her MP3 player.

When she turned it on, no sound came out. She stared at it. "Dammit. I need a new pair of headphones already?"

Amber stood up and opened her door. "Mom! Do we have any extra headphones?"

"Already? Hunny, that pair you have only lasted a week!"

Amber started walking down the stairs and peered under the banister into the dining room. "So... I take it we don't have any?"

She backed up when she saw her mother's angry glare. "No!"

"Jeesh!" She yelled and ran back to her room. "Now, where is that... Ah!" She went over to her desk and picked up the cordless phone.

She punched in a number she had memorized since she was about six. "Mrs. Jones? Is Jenny home yet? ... Good, can I talk to her? ... Thanks!" Amber inspected her black painted fingernails while she waited.

"What now, Amber?"

"Jenny, my best friend! Do you have any extra headphones?"

A frustrated sigh.

"Amber, you've already burnt through three of my pairs! Mom's starting to wonder where they all go."

"I know, I know, but..."

"No 'buts!' You're not getting anymore headphones from me!"

"Some friend you are."

"Oh, don't pull that shit on me."

Amber laughed. "It never works, but it's fun to listen to your reaction. It changes each time. After I find some headphones, I'll head over to your house, okay?"

"Fine by me. I'll lock up the little monster."

Amber perked up. "Seriously? No annoying little brother of yours?"

"Yup. It's the least I can do."

"I totally love you right now, Jenny. Be over there in about 15. Bye!" Amber eagerly hung up the phone and ran over to her closet. She changed into a pair of her paint-covered jean shorts and her black work shirt.

"Now, to find those headphones..."

She quickly started rummaging through a pile of clothes on her closet floor. "Man, I thought I had one in... Dude! So that's where Mom hid my Nintendo!" She gasped, pulling out a dusty box with a Nintendo 64 and various games from under her pile of clothes.

She set it aside, smiling. "I'll be playing that when I get back home tonight."

She kept pushing clothes aside until she could see the floor. "Dammit. I thought I had headphones in here... Woah! What the hell is tha–" Amber was quickly cut off by a clicking noise coming from behind her, taking her attention away from the huge hole in her closet floor.

"Oh. It was just my foot on the Nintendo." She smiled at her own stupidity and wiped her forehead, closing her eyes. I'm such an idiot.

She suddenly felt a tug at her back. She mentally rolled her eyes, thinking it was her little brother. "You're not gonna scare me, Dylan."

The tugging became more insistent until Amber was laying on her back. When her head hit the floor, she sat up quickly and rubbed the back of her head. "Ow! Since when do I have rocks in my...closet... This SO isn't my closet!" She yelled, standing up.

"My closet isn't this huge! And it doesn't have green fields, blue skies, and a humongous lake! And my closet definitely doesn't have giant blue spiders and weird birds about to attack me!" She yelled again, and started running towards the house on the edge of the lake.

She closed her eyes, praying. Please let this be a dream, please! I don't wanna be killed by birds and big blue spiders! "Ow!" She opened her eyes and stared up at the thing she had bumped into. Without actually seeing the man in front of her, and only his sword, she scrambled back to her feet and hid behind him, his shoulders now in her death grip. "Save me! Kill them, do something!" She yelled into his long, pointed ear.

"I would, if you'd let go." He said calmly, taking out a bow and some arrows. Amber slackened her grip on his shoulders, but didn't completely let go. The man shrugged and aimed at the bird that was headed towards them.

Amber grinned when it fell to the ground, dead. "Ha! You stupid bird!" She watched the man run forward, drawing his sword. He slashed the spider in half, then ran towards another one.

Hmm... Green tunic, a shield, an awesome sword... Amber gasped. I know who that guy is! When she saw that the man had killed the last spider thing, she slowly started walking towards him. He put away his sword and turned to look at her.

And when he did, she squealed with delight. "Link!" She yelled, and tackled him. "Oooh, I knew it was you! You were so cool, killing those, um... Oh, those Tektites!"

"Can't...breath..."

Amber squeaked and climbed off Link's chest. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you. Did I hurt you? Are you okay?"

Link sat up, flashing a smile at the strange girl before him. "I'm fine. You're pretty strong for a kid, though."

She gasped and hit her hand into the ground. "I'm not a kid, dammit! I'm fifteen!"

"Okay, okay. So you're not a kid."

Amber smiled, her bright blue eyes closing. He is SO much cuter in person. I don't know how I got to be in the game, but I'm happy! "Thank you."

"How did you know my name?" Link questioned.

Amber opened her eyes and laughed nervously. "I-I... I'm special! That's right! I know everything about Hyrule, even though I come from... A very different place." She grinned, hoping he would buy it.

He shrugged. "Well, it's not like I haven't heard anything else weirder. So, what else do you know?"

Amber grinned again, this time scheming. "About you, or Hyrule?"

Link smiled. "Let's see what you know about me."

She smiled. "Promise not to laugh, scream, or anything like that?" Link nodded, and she continued. "Okay. About 17 years ago, there was a war. Your mother fled to Kokiri Forest, hoping to escape it. She died from injuries, I believe, and you were then raised as a Kokiri child by the Great Deku Tree. Sorry to hear that he died after your valiant effort to break the curse set on him by Ganondorf. Saria gave you a fairy ocarina before you left Kokiri Forest. Then you went and gathered all the Spiritual Stones for Princess Zelda. Have you saved her yet, by the way? Actually, you'd be ten again if you had, so I'm guessing you haven't... Anyways, you were sealed in the Sacred Realm for seven years after you tried to take the Master Sword. Did I mention that you're engaged to the Zoran Princess?" Amber gasped, finally taking a few quick breaths.

She grinned again once she saw the shocked expression on Link's face. "I told you; I know things. Ooooh, and I think you like the princess. Zelda, not Ruto."

Link looked away, a reddish tint coloring his cheeks.

"Aw, come on! Don't be all silent type with me!" I get enough of that during the game. She pouted.

"If you know such things, you might prove helpful to my quest."

Amber perked up. "Oooh, really? You're gonna let me travel with you!" She poked him. "Can I get a cool looking tunic like yours?"

This girl is almost as annoying as Navi... But there's something interesting about her. "How far are you on your quest, Hero of Time?"

The girl's voice shook Link out of his thoughts. "Uh, I have four medallions."

"Oooh. You only have the Shadow and Spirit temples left, right?"

He eyed her warily. "Yes..."

"Cool. Those are my two favorite temples. It's a shame I missed the Water Temple, though. Was it fun beating up your dark self?"

"I guess..."

She glared at him, suddenly growing serious. "Glad my friend isn't here. No matter how much both of us love you, she would've killed you for saying that. She's practically obsessed with Dark Link."

Amber stood up, but Link grabbed the edge of her shirt. She looked down at him, and smiled to herself. He was giving off a confused look. "You love me?"

"No, I admire you. You're a hero, Link. The Hero of Time! People are gonna admire you for your courage." Amber was proud of herself for thinking of an excuse.

Link stood up, and Amber looked up at him. She only reached to his shoulder. Man, I've even shorter then video game characters! This stinks.

"On to Kakariko Village, then?" She asked.

Link nodded and pulled out his ocarina. "You don't mind horses, do you?"

"We get to ride Epona? Cool! Go on, call her."

Link smiled to himself and started playing Epona's song. Traveling with this girl would prove to be very interesting. As they climbed onto Epona's back, with the girl wrapping her arms around his waist, Link realized that he didn't know her name.
