The legend of Zelda: A new beginning

It was early morning as Link woke up. "I have a bad feeling about today"Link said to himself. "I think I'll go for a walk it should help me clear my head and wake me up" He said "it'll do me good plus I need to get ready for my practise so I don't get bad at swordsmanship".

So as he got dressed in his ordain clothes and went to see the mayor to see who he would be battling today. He took the long way so he could wake up fully and when he was finally able to think straight ( i dont know bout you but when i first wake up it not the time to be touching ponty things.) he started for the village

"maybe I should take a break from swordplay and just relax''. As he neared the village he hoped he wouldn't have to fight one of the kids for he hated having to hold back so much Russell was the only one who some what matched his level in sword play but when he got close to the door he heard shouting .

"I thought you said he would be fighting me today" said an awfully familiar voice

"but Lilia he is too strong you'd be down in no time you saw the bruises Russell got last time Link fought and Russell is a good swordsman and Link warned him that he wont hold back and Russell said the same and he still lost" said the mayor.

Lilia and the mayor must have got in a fight again about who I'll train with again and it sounds like he's losing though Link "oh well I'd probably better try again later Lilia can be scary at times and if I do fight her I'll have to hold back cause if she gets to badly hurt the mayor will have my head" Link said to himself.

Just then the door swung open as Lilia stormed out of the house. As she hopped down of the porch she saw Link standing there "ahh Link I was bout to go get you" said Lilia

"is that so "Link said a little nervous.

"Yes you will be fighting me today and you have no choice in the matter" she said with a grin on her face

"Lilia!" the mayor yelled

"FATHER! I can do this I will fight him and I'll try my best to win!" she said starting to lose her temper.

Link looked at the mayor and mouthed "I'll go easy on her".

Just as everyone started to come out of their houses to see what the commotion was about and they saw Link, Lilia and the mayor standing out front of the house. "Now will you fight me Link!" she demanded.

Not having a choice in the matter he looked at her and said, "If your father says its ok."

The mayor said "even if I said no she'd go and fight you any ways, so go ahead".

And with that Lilia went inside and grabbed two fake swords that they spared with, and threw one at Link, aiming for his head only to be caught with one hand.

"You sure you wanna do this?" he said.

"YES NOW LETS STARRRT!", she yelled as she ran at him.

"This will be interesting, I have never had to do this since Malo and Talo wanted to fight. Shit this is going to be hard" he thought, and just as she went to hit his head he ducked and with the hilt of his sword hit her stomach knocking the breath out of her and put the wooden blade to her neck.

"Dead" he said, with a slight smirk on his face as he let her get up.

By now the whole village was watching.

"Dad, why does Link look like he is gonna lose it?" said Collin.

"It is probably because he is trying to go easy on her and is trying not to hurt her to badly",Russell said.

"But then why did he go all out on you?"

Russell looked down and said i don't think he did, I saw that same look on his face, not as bad, but the same. Look at his movement, he is going slower to try and match Lilia's speed and attack level", he said.

Collin looked and gasped "you're right, he is, and he looks like he is actually reading her movements cause look he is able to block and counterattack all her attacks, I wonder what he does in his free time?"

Russell looked at the two and then noticed a cut on Links ankle. "Collin, did Lilia hit him on the ankle?"

"No, she has yet to hit him at all, why?"

"oh no reason, just wondering" said Russell,

"I'll have to talk to him later, I have known him since he was a baby and he'll tell me everything, I know he will".

As the match came to an end, Link made one final move to end the match. As Lilia went to stab him he jumped and hit the sword out of her hands then jumped behind her, holding the sword up to her throat he whispered in her ear, "End of match", then let her go.

"Well done Link, and with little damage to Lilia as well, thank you Link thank you" exclaimed the mayor.

"Uhh, you're welcome?" Link said slightly embarrassed.

"LINK" called Russell, "may i talk with you?"

"Uhh sure why not" Link said.

"Good good"said Russell.

"Wanna go to my house" asked Link.

"Uh sure why not" said Russell.

Link walked them through the dimly lit trail of the forest with its heavy canopy letting streams of light filtering through the leaves giving it a soft glow

As they walked Russell noticed that the trees got thicker and bigger.

"Uh Link?" Russell said.

"Ya?", Link answered.

"How much farther?" said Russell.

"Not far, in fact you can see it from here" replied Link.

As Russell looked he saw a nice little robust house. Not to small, but not to big either it was set on top of a aged tree the branches seeming to poke out of the house.

"That's your house?" exclaimed Russell, "how did you get a house all the way out here in the woods?"

"I built it" he answered simply, "wanna go in? I have some stew if you want some, I think I may have made too much" he said slightly embarrassed.

"I guess I should It would be rude not to after the taxing he had. I guess it wouldn't hurt, plus I am a tad hungry", Russell thought, "ok why not".

Link smiled then looked at the ground, "Russell you live in the village, what do they think of me?"

This caught Russell off guard, "Umm, what do you mean Link?"

"I mean the fact that I live all the way out here to keep the village safe but no one knows so I get the feeling that you and the villagers don't trust me" he said, looking slightly sad.

Russell thought for a moment, "well to tell you the truth… wait, wait… what do you mean protect the village?" exclaimed Russell.

"Oh right you don't know, well in the spars I have been having with you, I well, I have been holding back" Link said, a little embarrassed.

"I figured that much, I mainly noticed it in your battle with Lilia" said Russell.

"Oh I'm that readable am I heh, guess I'll have to try harder next time heh heh heh" Link said, a slight simile of his face, "well it is almost dark, we should get going. You go up first in case someone unwanted comes." he said smiling. And with that Russell climbed up the ladder while Link kept guard.

"Link!" Russell yelled, "I'm at the top you can come up now".

"ok" Link yelled back. As he climbed Russell noticed how he kept looking around, mainly to the path that went from Hyrule field to the village. When Link got to the top he saw something move from the corner of his eye,

"Oh no, not now, and of all times to", "RUSSEL GET IN THE HOUSE QUICKLY!" Link yelled.

"Link what is the mater?" Russell said slightly worried of the seriousness in his voice.

"C'mon hurry, we don't have much time!" Link yelled as he pulled him in the house and slammed the door.

"LINK! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!" yelled Russell.

Link looked at him "you wanted to know why I live all the way out here? If you think you can stay on the deck, and not move, you can watch but if not stay here", he said in a very serious tone.

And with that Link went to the back and got his sword.

"Link, I didn't know you had an actual sword?" exclaimed Russell.

Link just looked at him, "I will not blame you if after this you don't trust me. This why I live all the way out here, so no one will have to see what I do. You see Russell, the reason I hold back is because if I didn't I'd probably kill you." And with that Link ran out the door.

"I don't know what he meant but I'll find out" and with that he to went out side and what he saw he would never forget for Link was down on the ground fighting off what had to be at lest 20 goblins all coming at him and that is when he figured it out "Link was not joking when he said that if he didn't holed back he would kill me he is able to fight 5 goblins at a time and I can only see a few minor cuts and bruises".

after he had finished he then dashed off at some unknown object Russell almost went after him till he saw thru the trees and saw what Link was after a goblin about 10 feet tall and 4 feet wide "oh my god is he going to really take that thing on"

Russell said as Link neared his target Link yelled if fury. Not having seen this part of Link before Russell was shocked how can he do it he has no regard for his life at all. Dose he care that much for the village that he would sacrifice his life? And it would be all for us, for the village? Do we really mean that much to him? Russell thought

"why do you keep coming to this village? We haven't done anything wrong, we haven't rebeld why shod we we have a nice life hear" Link said as there swords came together

"we don't want to stay hear we want the man with the triangle of courge " said the leader

"so if you get this man with whatever it is you said you will leave us alone?" Link said

"for the time being my master has other plans" said the leader(didn't no what else to call him but he is the leader of the goblins Link just killed).

"oh and what are these plans that he has?" Link asked as the leader went for Links head

"I don't know my master didn't say but I know that the spirits of light are having their light taken away" just then the leader finally made contact to Link hitting him on the chest leaving a big gash.

Link stumbled from the blow as the lieder took the opportunity to beak his arm leaving it bleeding and finally hit his head which cased link to trip and fall.

just then Russell saw Link trip over a root of a tree and fall backwards on the ground

"oh no" Russell said as he climbed down the ladder as fast as he could "I have to help him I don't care if he gets mad at me I will not let him die!"As Russell came near.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"oh no LINK!"

after that nothing as he came to the outside of the clearing he saw Link still concise on the ground and was bleeding from the arm and had a big gash that went from his left shoulder to his rite hip.

"LINK!" he yelled Link hearing Russell Link looked up to see him holding a branch the size of his leg .the goblin saw Russell and went towards him sword in hand but before he was able to hit him Link clumsily got up and jumped over him and behead him but when Link landed he no longer had the strength to walk so he fell down Russell ran to his side and sat him up. "Russell" Link said

"ya" Russell replied Link looked at him square in the eye and yelled

"YOU FOOL I THOT I TOLD YOU TO STAY AT THE HOUSE!"

"well you had fell and I saw that you were stuck so I wanted to help but..."

Link still pissed yelled again "YOU COULD HAVE GOTTEN YOUR SELF KILLED! I DO THIS SO I CAN KEEP YOU GUYS FROM HARM BUT I CANT DO THAT IF YOU ARE JUST GONNA GET YOURSELF KILLED!"

Link by this time had cooled off quite a bit so Russell helped him on his back and cared him out but didn't go to Link's house instead he continued towards the village.

"where are you taking me? we passed my house" Link asked

"well you can't clime the later and I cant clime it wheal holding on to you so I'm taking you to my house for the night."said Russell "what no I couldn't it would be..." Link started but Russell cut him off

"it will be ok" he assured. they wear on the outside of the village when Russell put Link down

"hey Link" Russell said

"ya what is it" Link said breaths coming in deep and raged

"is that what you do at night when we are asleep kill monsters?"asked Russell

Link looked up and answered "yes... that is what I have been doing but only when they come near the village see that is the only entries to and from the village witch help's me so I can just sit on my porch and watch the forest for danger"

"ah I see so is that how you got that cut on you'r ankle by fighting off monsters?" asked Russell

Link looked deep in Russell's eyes that sent shivers down his spine and then said "yes it is but Russell ..."

"ya"answered Russell

" please don't tell anyone or I might not be able to come back hear ok?" Russell was taken back by this but said

"yes Link I promise"

"thank...you..."was all Link said before passing out of exhaustion.
