Chapter 1: A Link to the Past
Link was standing as best as he could agenst the pain in his arms and his legs. He had already been struck by Gannondorfs lighting strike nerly five times and was completly egsausted. He had no idea how he had survied all those blows from Gannondorf- he thought he be surely dead by now- but he considered himself lucky. Blood was dripping down from his forhead down to his neck. But Link didn't care. He was just trying to consentrate on beating Gannondorf.
He had just barly enough magic to use one more light arrow; and that was all he needed to finnish him off. One more perses from a light arrow and Gannondorf would be sealed away for an eterninty.
'Good,' he thought. 'All I have to do now is bouce back his lighting strike a few more times, and then strike him with a light arrow, then he'll be gone for good! And Hyrule will be saved!' he thought through his pain and agony.
'But...,' He started to lose a littel bit of his grip on his sword and shiled as sweat started to drip down from his forhead and down his neck, 'If I miss, just once, I'm a gonner for sure!' He started to cringe his teeth in fear.
'No!' He then tightened his grip on both the Master Sword and the Mirior Shild. 'I made a promiss to myself that I would never let Gannondorf win! Never! No matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to take over Hyrule! Ever! And I will make sure of that! I don't care how long it takes! He will die for sure. And I will be the one to do it!'
"Powerful and yet foolish words, Boy." Gannondorf suddenly said, but loud enough for Link to hear for he was at the other end of the huge room that they were in.
"What!" Link said surprisingly as he steped one step back. "How in Din's fire can you read my thoughts!"
"The answer may await you in the after life, Boy. For I have traveled through the river of time and saw what is to become of you: you die, by me!" He started laughing. But only after a few seconds, he stopped, than said "But not the me you see before you, oh no, but by the me from the fuchure!"
"What on Earth are you talking about!" Link managed to say though his struggel to brethe. "Have you gone mad!"
"In about thrity seconds you will see exacally what I mean, foolish Boy!" he boomed over to Link.
'What does he mean?' Link thought. ' Himself from the future? How can that be possible?' But then he reailsed something that he hadn't thought of before. 'But... if he somehow escaped from his seal in the future... then he would be able to get his dark magic back! You can almost do anything with dark magic!' he realised as his eyes opended up wide with fear and realisation. 'Then that means... I have to fight two Gannondorfs?'
"That is exacally correct, Boy!" he boomed over to Link. He had just read his mind and knew excally what he was thinking.
"And now you are too late," said another voice that sounded almost like Gannondorf's, only slightly lower. Link couldn't really see who he was, but he knew he was next to Gannondorf. Link's vision had blured since the lighting strike had corrupted his vision, but he could tell that this person was the other Gannodorf! From what he could tell the second one had on a huge robe that touched all the way to the floor, while the first Gannodorf only had a big black cape on over his black attire.
And then, before Link could react to anything, both of the Gannodorfs raised their right hand in the air. A big ball of lighting started to form up over them. Then, they both threw it at Link, strait into his face. He couldn't do anything, he didn't even have time to screem; all he saw was fuzzyness...
I-
"Aaaaaahhhhhhhggggggg!"
Link sat up in his bed. Hot and stcky sweat was all over his forhead. He looked around; then he noticed that he was still back at home, in his own bed, back on Outset island. He breathed heavily as he reailised it all just a dream. A very horrible dream. He noticed that he was hanging on to his bed sheet very tightly, and it made his hands hurt, so he let go of it, leving creaces ware his hands just were.
"That was so... scary!" he finnaly said as he calmed down, but he made sure that only he heard it because his grandma and littel sister were still sleeping peacefully in the bed under him, and he didn't want to wake them up. He new he was too old to be having nightmares, but ever since he found out that he was the reincarnation of the Hero of Time he had been having strange dreams about his past.
This happend every night for the past four months, right after his advenchure had ended. Each more terifing than the last. But this one topped them all, by far. He knew that this wasn't right. The Hero of Time wasn't supposed to die that way. He had defeated Gannondorf in the end. He had practicly memorized his story by heart! Everyone on the island knew it. He was even pretty sure that the people on Windfall island even knew about it!
But, that wasn't the point. His dream somehow got scrude up and he wanted to know why. It probaly wasn't anything serious, but he wanted to make sure. So he desided that, in the morning, he would go see the King of Red Lions. Maybe he could tell him the meaning of his dream.
Link crawled over to the ladder next to his bed, and carfuly climed down it. He tip toed his way over to the door, still with his bare feet and his PJ's on, and slowly opened it. He made his way over to the porch, and looked up at the stars. It always seemed to help him think: just gazing up at the stars. He could do it for hours if he really wanted to.
He was so engrossed by the stars that he didn't hear the door opening behind him and someone comming out, slowly tip toeing their way over to him.
"BOO!"
"Aaaahhh!" Link jumped, starteld. Then looked behind him and saw that it was only Aril. She was still in her pink and red night gown , holding her teddy bear. She had blonde hair, just like Link did, except it was about five inces longer than than his was; just enough for her to put it back in low pigtails. She even had the same blue eyes as Link did; execpt they were a bit bigger, and her eye frames were a bit slanted. It made her look very much like a Japanese person.
"Don't scare me like that ever again! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Link said angerly to Aril, and he ment it too.
"Oh, I was just having some fun! You shoulda seen the look in your eyes!" she said while giggling.
Link gave her a grumpy look, then looked at his wach and noticed that it was already 1:00 in the morning!
"Why are you up so early, Aril? Do you even know what time it is? You should be back in bed," he said as he pointed twords the door.
"I think I should be asking you the same question, big brother," she said as she put her hands on her hips, as if she were in charge. "Why are you up so late?"
Link gulped. He really didn't want to tell his baby sister that he woke up from a nightmare. Usally she was the one who did that.
"I... couldn't go to sleep. That's all."
"Suuuuure you couldn't," Aril said while rolling her eyes. "That's why you woke up screeming. And don't tell me you didn't because I only woke up because of that! It was so loud, I bet the whole island woke up becuse of you!"
Link didn't know what to say. He had been had. There was nothing more that he could do but confess.
"Alright, alright. I'll admit it: I had a nightmare. Happy, now?"
"Yup," she said with a grin." But, everyone has nightmares. It's not that emmbarissing to admit something like that, big brother."
"I just thought you'd be embarissed to have an older brother who still had nightmares, that's all..." He looked down at his bare feet as in shame.
"Oh, I don't care," said Aril. "You're the bestest big brother anyone could have!" She ran up to him and gave him a hug- aaaaaaawwwwwww.
"Oh, quit it! You're embarissing me!" Link said as he put one hand behind his head.then she let go of the embrace. "Well, we better get to bed now."
"Don't over sleep, though," Aril warned.
"Why not?"
"Don't you remember? You promissed me you'd take me to see the big fairy up in Fariy Forest in the morning!" she wined.
"I did?" Link asked. Then he suddenly hit his hand on his forhead. "Duh! I did say that, didn't I?" He said suddenly realising that he did acually say that. "Ok. I promiss I won't over sleep. But if I do, you have to wake me up, ok?"
"Okie dokie!" Aril said happily as she jumped up and down.
"Sssshhhhh! Don't wake Grandma up!" Link warned. "She doesn't even know I'm taking you there. It's our secret, remember?" Aril gave a sleeply nod and then walked off inside the house; Link followed her.
When Link got back into bed, after tucking Aril in, he was about to go to sleep when he suddenly remembered his dream, no nightmare, that he had. He hoped he didn't have another one like that.
'That alomost felt too real to be a dream,' he thought. 'Oh, well. I'll just have to wake up extra early to ask the King of Red Lions about it.' And befor he knew it, he driffted off to sleep.
I-
The King of Red Lions shivered from the cold. He had seen every one of Link's dreams every night for months. All of them about the past, and he made sure he watched them every night, just to make sure nothing was wrong with them. But Link's most recent dream ment trouble. He new just as well as Link did that something wasn't right. And he knew how to fix it. All he had to do was take Link back to Hyrule castel, then he would tell him everything. But first, he needed to pay a visit to the Grate Deku Tree...
I-
Link streched and squinted his eyes as he woke up with the sun right in his face. Surprisingly, he didn't have another nightmare, again. But if he did, he didn't remember it. So he just shruged it off and quickly got dressed. He was about to put on his usual blue shirt with the crawfish on it, but then he decited not to. Instead he got out the green attire that he got for his Birthday. He had to admit, he didn't like waring it. It was uncomfortable to him. But something told him to ware it anyway.
As soon as he got the hat on, he headed striat for the door, not even taking his sword and shield with him. He knew he wouldn't need it anyway. All he really needed to do was go see the King of Red Lions, then go wake Aril up.
When he finnaly got to the dock, ware his boat the King of Read Lions was, he was about to speak, but he spoke first.
"Link, we must hurry."
"Huh? What do you mean? I just came here to ask you a question..." he said confused.
"I know that, but we must go to Hyrule Castle, quickly. There's is no time to waste, Link. We must hurry!"
"But why? I still have stuff I need to do..."
"I will explain everyting once we get there, Link. Go back and bring the Master sword with you."
"Um... ok sure..." He turned around and ran twords his house to get his things. When he got inside, he hoped that Aril and grandma were still asleep. Sure enough, they were. He glanced at his watch and noticed that it was only 5:30. They wouldn't get up for another hour or so.
He climed up twords ware there was a small landing. This was ware Link and Aril usualy played games when it wad raining. And in the corrner, was all his equeptment: bow, arrows, deku leaf, bommarang, boms-in there bom bag so they wouldn't explode-, the megaton hammer, hook shoot, graple, the iron boot, the Wind Waker, the mirrior shield, and his sword, the one he earned from Mast Orca, his next door nieghbor. Link just grabbed his sword, the mirrior shield, and the Wind Waker. But just in case, he brought the hook shoot, too.
He was about to leave when he remembered that Aril and grandma would be worried about him if he just disapeared. So he grabbed a peice of paper and a pen, and wrote:
Had to go out and do some errands.
Be back soon.
-Link
He put it on his pillow and then ran outside.
"Ok, I'm here. Why are we going to Hyrule castel?" Link asked once he got to the dock.
"I told you, I will tell you everything once we get there. Warp us with the song of Gales so we get there faster."
Link nodded and took out the Wind Waker. It didn't look like much, just a small white stick that had a handel on it. But whenever you mover it, gliter and magic was swepted everyware throughout the air. But when Link moved it a setain way, more of it seemed to poor out, it even changed colors. He had moved it down, right, left, and up. Then, a gust of wind circeled them, bringing the boat high into the air; but the wind was so strong that Link had to close his eyes and cover his hands over them.
When he felt that the wind had died down to a complete stop, he looked up, and saw that they had landed right in front of Hyrule castle. Every time he played that song, it always took him to ware he wantted to go. He didn't even have to tell it anything! It's like as if it read his mind and knew exacally ware he wannted to go.
Link slowly moved twords the center of the big pool of watter that like a gulf, only instead of land along the outside of the edges, were pillers leading out to the ocean. When he got to the middel, he went dirctly twords the big ring of light that led to the bottom of the ocean, ware the entrace of Hyrule castle was at.
When he had first gone into the ring he had been plunged strait into the water. Of coures, his first instinck told him to hold his breath. But after about five minutes, and he still was no ware near the bottom, he couldn't hold it any longer and let go. He thought he would drown, but instead, he found that he could breathe just as normally as he could on land! Now, whenever he went down to Hyrule, he new that he didn't have to hold his breath.
After about ten minutes or so, they reached the bottom. And there standing, was the magnifcent Hyrule castle. A magical berrior was around it so no water touched it outside or inside, alowing Link to walk normally.
"Link," the King of Red Lions started saying, "go to the room at which you got the Master sword from. I will meet you there."
Link nodded and ran inside. He made his way over to the statue of the Hero of Time, the former him. The statues sword and shiled was raising up twords the hevens, as if thanking the Gods: Din, Nayru, and Fluore. It suddenly moved away for Link to enter beinith it by some unknown force, like it always did.
He went down the stairs and then entered the small room with stained glass windows of people who he didn't know, although he did see tham in his deams. But one person in pictular stood out to him. It was a girl, who looked about his age, that had green hair and wore nothing but green... kinda like the outfit that he was waring right now.
Then he saw the King of Red Lions standing, in ghost form, behind the small pilar that Link had first drawn out the Mast Sword.
"Why did you bring me here?" Link asked as he walked up to the pilar.
"It is because of your dream," he said to Link. "I never thought it was possible but I guss it was bound to happen sooner or later."
"That what would happen?"
He sighed. "That Gannodorf would brake though his seal once again."
"What!" Link yelled. "You mean he broke though again! Then that means I have to fight him all over again! You know how long that took me the first time? I almost drowed trying to do it!"
"Listen to me, Link!" he yelled back at him making Link shut up. "It is not what you think! Gannodorf has somehow broken though the seal and he has gone back into the past to finnish off what he couldn't do before! I know not how he did it, but he has done it! You must go to the past and seal him once and for all! That is why I have brought you here, Link!"
"But what's the point of doing it again and again if he's just going to brake though it all the time!" Link yelled back at him.
"We also must go to the Great Deku Tree to get some materails that you need to make a stronger seal. That way, he dose not brake though again."
Now he was begining to understand. Link thought about it for awhile, then asked. "But how am I supposed to get to the past?"
"By placing the Master sword back in it's stand. It will return you to the time when the Hero of Time was fighting Gannodorf. You must take the Gannodorf from the presnt time and bring him here. You will seal him up then."
"How am I gonna do that? Link asked.
"That is for you to figure out for yourself. All I can do now is take you to Forest Haven ware you must get the materials for the seal. But right now, you must go back to the room at which you fought Gannodorf at to get the Master sword. Then we shall go."
"Alright then, let's go! We don't have much time left!" Link said happily as ran out the samll room, up the stairs, and back to his boat, the King of Red Lions. He was so excited to be going on another adventure, especialy since he was going to go to the past. He always wondered how places would look withough an ocean surrounding it. Then he remembered that he had to go back and get the Master sword. So he back tracked his way over there, using the Hook Shoot so he could get across the plate forms.
'Man I'm sure glad I brought this thing,' Link thought to himself. 'Other wise, I'd have to go alllllll the way back home to get it, and then alllllllll the way back here.' He grabbed the Master sword and then quickly back tracked his way over to his boat.
When he got there, they went though the glowing ring once again back to the surface so that they could go to Forest Haven.
A/N: Well, whadda think? Please review! And in case you wantted to know, yes, I did beat both games so I know how the ending goes. Actually, Wind Waker wasn't that hard. I beat it in a week.
