A/N: This story is about 120 years after "twilight princess" (so both Link and Zelda are dead), now, there might be terrible inaccurate information that the veteran fans of this game series might hate me for, but I'll try to do my best, and please do correct me if needed, overall have fun!

Prologue: Shadow's return

The guards of the hyrulian castle were at strategic points in the throne room, swords drawn; even princess Liana was had a rapier clutched in her hand.

The dark powered invaders on the other side of the great door kept banging on the door with brute power, producing a ruckus in the process.

Whatever the invaders were, unlike princess Liana, most of the armed men in the room were at least a little shaken by this attack, trying to remember what they were trained for.

Nothing could have prepared those knights to what came in as the doors flung in with massive power and the shadow beasts that instantly barged in, charging at the defenders.

"Ah" sighed an unseen figure from behind the shadowy beasts "This place hasn't changed all that much since my last 'visit' to the world of light"

The figure that entered the room behind the shadowy beasts was much different then his vicious minions, he was wearing a strange looking armor over minister-like robes with long sleeves that hid his hands, and hiding his face was a big triangular helmet, shaped like a troll sticking out it's mocking tongue, in one of his hidden hands he held a curvy sword.

"You're not princess Zelda, are you? Well, it doesn't matter, you must be her descendant or something along the lines" said the newcomer with deadly calmness, just walking towards princess Liana, followed by two of his goons.

The princess heard stories about this man, but she didn't think that they were real; if she was to trust her great-grandmother's stories she was now facing the usurper king of the twilight realm, Zant.

"How rude of myself, I should present myself, my name is…" said the newcomer, his calm voice sharper then the rapier in the princess' hand, as he made a bow.

"I know who you are, you are Zant, I heard stories from my grandmother about you" said princess Liana, pointing her rapier at where Zant's neck should be.

"How interesting, it seems you have inherited princess' Zelda's piece of the thing called 'triforce', how interesting, it's just too bad that both Zelda and that laughable 'hero' have died" said Zant, poison dripping from his calm voice, which stayed unchanged even though he had a rapier pointed at his neck.

The princess ignored the stranger's insulting words and tried to cut him across the chest, but instead of making a cut on Zant the rapier got broken, and only now she has noticed that she and Zant were surrounded by a ring of his shadowy minions.

"How rude, very rude this is how you treat your new king? Bad-mannered princess you are, now how shall I punish you?" said Zant the tongue of his helmet sliding backwards into the helmet, revealing a mocking grin.

Before Liana could reply to this Zant broke from his calmness and shouted with a high pitched voice "HERE COMES THE PUNISHMENT!" as he swung down his sword at princess Liana.

***

Unlike the Hyrule castle, Ordon village has changed quite well since the time Hyrule was engulfed into twilight, 120 years earlier.

Nowadays Ordon is quite bigger, containing more houses, bigger stable,bigger shops and a smithy workshop, that the smoke coming out of it wasn't an irregular thing.

More then a century ago, this quiet little village was the home of a born hero.

This tiny village is also where this story begins...
