"Nothing yet." Link sighed looking down at his fishing line. Hylian Lake was back to normal after the water temple incident. In fact, Hyrule was perfectly normal again ever since Ganondorf was defeated. The Bridge of Eldin was fixed, figures it was in the desert. The field was clear except for the occasional monster or two, but, all in all. Everything was peaceful again. At least for now, knock on wood right? But unfortunately link had nothing to do. Sure it was great at first. No more work should equal happiness for any common man, but then again he wasn't a common man. And Link did want to go back home and relax, but he got bored to quickly. "
How 'bout you go fishing ma' boy!" That's what the rancher said.
"Take a break Link, you'll die of exhaustion!" Is what Collin's dad said.
No way he was going to go back to race with the Yeti's, he almost died falling of the cliff, they were too ruthless. Everything he would want to do, he couldn't. Like visiting Zelda, with out the king, she was running the land.
"I have too much business now Link. Maybe later?" She would say. Every time.
And the Gorons were preparing for some festival they hold to honor the fire sage or something. Zoras were doing the same for the water sage. Sage Ruto and Sage Darbus were they're names. It was said by the Spirit Ordona that Link's ancestor rescued all the sages with a single weapon, the weapon he used. The Master Sword. He still had it, but the most it would do these days is chopping wood. He wouldn't get a decent battle again wood he? All in all, he was grateful that everyone was safe in they're nice, peaceful, boring lives. Link got up and stretched.
"No use, I give up." About the only thing he'd give up in, fishing. He put away his fishing pole and the shell hook that Prince Ralis gave him. For a kid, he was already a leader of the Zora's. He waved to the guy running the cannon and smiled nervously. He was always creeped out by him, but he was useful for the trip into the sky were Oocoo lived. He wondered what that chicken-thing was doing now, looking up to the sky were the cannon was pointing.
"Hmm, wonder if it's alright if I visit?" He thought for a moment staring at the sky. "Wouldn't hurt..." He said walking up to the cannon from the outside of the Spirit's pool entrance. He walked up the bridge. Link rummaged through his bag and pulled out his hook shot. He aimed it at the red dot in the middle of the golden circle.
"MIIIIISSSSTTTTEERRRR LIIIINNNKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Link jumped and sweat dropped. The mail man ran up to him and put his hand behind his back. He rummaged through his bag for a bit until he pulled out a black enveloped letter.
"Here you go!" He shouted. He fixed his bag turned around and darted towards the exit, leaving a cloud of dust behind him.
Link coughed and stared at the running man a bit annoyed. He never knew how he always found him. Link sighed again and stared at the black envelope. It had fancy gold cursive saying his name. He pondered, not knowing who it was from. Maybe Zelda? No, to dark for her tastes. One of the kids from Ordon? Collin? Maybe Ilia? Malo could certainly afford this, but why would he do it? "One way to find out." He said opening the mysterious letter.
Dearest Link,
Hello, how are you doing? It's been to long, hasn't it? I wonder if you'll remember me? Well, enough with the formal 'How do ya' do' I' sending this for a reason. Can you figure out who I am? Can ya? I've heard what you did to Ganon freak there. Brave work you had there. I'm surprised you even got that far, yet alone kill him. He was an ass anyway he deserved it. And I also heard you got to the Twilight realm, with the Princess Midna, the Twilight Princess. Didn't she run back home after you took care of her business? Some help she was. And broke the damn mirror, rotten girl. I was going to go to the Twilight realm, cause some havoc, start a war, the usual. And this world holds no more instruct to me. You see Link, Ganon gave me something to do. But now I'm bored. Just like you! Killing people no longer holds an interest for me. Not enough response. So I would like to meet you again. Hang out like old times, right? Meet me at the pedestal of the master sword at sunset tomorrow. And we'll see how much you've improved, Mr. Hero.
-Mr. Anti-Hero
Link reread the letter feeling pissed at the Midna comment, confused how who ever it was knew this much, and really aggravated that it was a war-starter. He wanted a battle, not another war. He read the senders name again. 'Mr. Anti-hero?' Link stared at the letter, not reading, just waiting for something to happen. Like the name would magically paper in his thoughts if he stared at it long enough. 'Mr. Anti-Hero?' He repeated in his head. He knew him before? Link tried to remember a murderous sarcastic person he apparently 'hung out with' that knew everything about his journey. Not one person came to mind, then again he had lots of insane enemies, he would find out tomorrow.
"Might as well go down to the ranch." Link thought, shuddering at the thought of Ilia complaining about Epona's health, the tiniest scratch or imperfection set's her off.
"LINK!!! IS THAT A SCRATCH??!! YOU'VE BEEN PUSHING EPONA WAY TO HARD LATELY!! I'M TAKING HER TO THE SPRINGS TO TAKE CARE OF HER!!" "B-but Ilia! We need Epona to deliver the sword!" Link thought back to that time. 'She only likes me for my horseā¦' Link sulked.
