PROLOGUE

"Now, to use the Hurricane Spin, focus your energy into the sword. And don't let go until the sword glows with pure energy."

"OK, Link. Here I go…" Aryll said as she got herself into position. She focused as hard as she could, and in no time, the sword glowed with pure focus power. "HURRICANE SPIIIIIN!" she spun around the room at breathtaking speed. When she stopped, she staggered and tripped like a drunk, but was proud she mastered it. "Whoa…there are 3 Links…" she said all dazed and confused. When she recovered, Link continued to speak.

"Now, this technique will leave you dizzy for a while, like you've just experienced. Also, it uses up a bit of Magic power. Use it only during emergencies. Got it?"

"YES, SIR!"

"Good. I think I've taught you all I could about how to fight with a sword. If ya' need a refresher, just talk to me, 'kay?" And with that, Link went upstairs to sleep in his bed. How he longed for that moment to come. To just lie down and dream the day away…Tetra and Co. promised this if he went sailing with them, but to Link, there's no place like home. The next day, however, proved to have more excitement than anyone could have wanted-and would have wanted for that matter.

CHAPTER 1: THE SNOW THAT SHOULDN'T BE

The next morning was like any other for someone who was essentially on vacation-groggy, slow moving, and unawake. When Link woke up, though, something outside caught his eye-snow. Everywhere as far as the eye could see, there was a blanket of snow. This was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, but he definitely read about it in books. He ran outside, sleeping clothes still on, but quickly ran back in-it was FREEZING! He changed into the warmest clothes he had-the Hero's Tunic-and rushed out the door to explore the wintery wonderland. Aryll was already up, and saw the snow as well. But she seemed more worried. The climate was usually very tropical, so snow shouldn't fall. But here it was, right in front of her.

"Something's wrong…this shouldn't happen…" she thought to herself as she stepped outside. She shivered at first, but her bathrobe made her feel warmer. The sky was full of clouds, but none that appeared threataning. She surveyed the area, and sure enough, she saw Link, lobbing snowballs at other youth that passed by. In an hour, the entire kid population was outside in what will forever be known as "The Great Ice War"-the biggest snowball fight ever in Hyrule's recorded history. Kids from every house was outside enjoying themselves. Well, almost every kid…

"If Link won't investigate how the impossible happened, than for goodness sakes, I WILL!" Aryll was planning to leave the island to see what went down with the weather. Before she left, though…

"Aryll! Don't go yet!" It was Grandma. "Aryll, you can't leave without some soup to keep you warm."

"Grandma, I'll be fine. I've got enough firewood with me to last through 3 months. I'll be warm enough."

"Well, take it anyway. You may get hungry on your journey, and this soup will perk ya' right up." And with that, Aryll was ready. As she left, she couldn't help but notice the other kids having fun in the snow. She wished she could join them…

"No! I can't let that distract me! I have to be strong!" With those last few words, she was off. Aryll's adventure had officially begun.
