Chapter One: Predicament.
Link:
"Link you're a hero!" Talt cheered. I was hardly listening, my mind was fixed on the rising sun. I looked past the wedding party into the distance at the canyon. Termina was actually pretty when it wasn't in danger.
"Link?" Talt was getting annoyed. But, I already knew I was a hero. why did I need her to tell me again? I looked up at her and faked a smile. Of course I was happy that I got to help all of these people. That was also the problem. The one person I got true joy out of helping... She was the one I left behind.
I began to walk back into Clock Town. It felt like I had been there for months. The crushing reality, no matter how I looked at it, was that I had only been here for three days. All I wanted was to be back home. My hand slipped into my pocket and pulled out the ocarina, the one piece of my past I still had. Slowly I played the all too familiar notes. They echoed far... But something was wrong. Something sounded wrong. I opened my eyes to looked down at the instrument I was playing. It was still the same ocarina, and I had to have played the right notes...
I tried again. Still I ws standing in the middle of Clock Town, in front of the Tower. I played again, and again. My eyes snapped open when I heard a weird sound. A few people around me were applauding, as if I was performing. Before my panic took over I took a little bow, then ran toward East Clock Town. I still somehow ad that room in the Inn. So, that's where I went.
Anju wasn't at the front desk. But she did just get married a few hours ago. It didn't matter anyway. All I wanted was a little privacy. I sat down on my bed then played the ocarina once again. After about three more times I finally realized something. I didn't know the notes... I forgot them. The song didn't sound right, but I couldn't even remember how it should sound. My mind was racing and I could hear my heartbeat pounding in my ear drums. I was stuck.
Zelda:
Sometimes it was hard to think about the past, or the future I guess. From the moment that Link left, I never stopped thinking about how I altered his life. Of course, I knew he was chosen to be the Hero of Time. But he was so young. Nobody deserves to have their future forced upon them. Especially when their future was doomed.
I guess it wasn't all bad though. Link was able to rise to his destiny. Ganondorf was defeated and sealed away. Then Link was able to get his time back. Although, it really doesn't feel like it. I can still remember those seven years perfectly, I'm sure Link could too.
I spent the last four days just staring out of my window. When Link left he said nothing to me about where he was going, or if he would ever come back. My guilt rose with every passing night. I just wanted to know that Link was okay, but there was no way.
"Princess," Impa entered my room. "You need to move on." I tore my eyes off of the distance and faced Impa. She looked worried. I said nothing to her. "Come on, I'm sure Link is fine. He's a hero after all."
"I know, I know. But I just have this feeling that he left because of me. After all, he didn't even say goodbye. Impa, I want to find him." I stood up.
"Zelda, you know you can't do that."
"Why not?"
"You're just a child." Upon saying this, Impa turned on her heel and walked out of the room. Her words both stung and gave me inspiration. Being a child never stopped me before. Especially now, when I knew that when we were just kids Link and I opened the door of time all by ourselves.
My mind was made up. I was going to find my friend.
