Splash. The boy had awakened. "Agh look who finally decided to wake up." One of the men said. "Its amazing how hard you sleep in that tunic you got." The other one laughed. "The time has come at last for judgment day."
Outcast. Link was once known by many names a hero, a legend. Some came to believe. He saved the world. It has been Seven years since Zelda through him back in time seven long years.
He hasn't seen her since or does he want to. He wants to overcome the posttraumatic stress disorder he has been opposed with and get on with his life. He has been spending time in Gerudo prison for stealing. Lets see how this goes…
"Boy you're going to be tried today. Might want to make yourself decent for the king you never know what he will do to you."
Link spat. "Bring me to him. I am decent as is."
They obeyed links command and pulled his chains so he would push forward. "Life in a prison camp changes you." Link thought to himself.
They arrived shortly to the courtroom where many stand awaiting. Some threw things at Link some made sure he would never return to Gerudo. Some even demanded execution.
"Court is now in order. Presenting His royal majesty Lord Gannondorf." One of the chairmen called.
"Please be seated." Gannon said. "So what do we have here?" Gannon asked. "This is just adorable you're bringing me teenagers now. You guys are wonderful." He laughed. "So what did the little brat do?" He asked in raged.
Someone from the court walked to Gannon and explained the entire situation. "I see so he is guilty and should be removed." One of the men said.
"There is no fun in that my friend." Gannon laughed. " We will make him pay for it."
"So your guilty of assault and Stealing." Gannon smiled. "I like you kid. Where are you from?" Gannon asked.
Link was Silent. "You will speak when Gannon talks to you. "One of the Gerudo guards said knocking him over.
"Now I am only going to ask one more time? Where are you from boy?" Gannon asked.
"Hyrule… I'm from Hyrule." Link finally coughed out.
Gannon was stunned. "The boy goes free. He is never to return to Gerudo again. He will be executed if he ever decides to come again." Gannon said, "Case closed."
People in the room demanded an explanation but Gannon wasn't in the mood to give one. "Respect for Hyrule… That's just until I get my hands on the triforce of power."
"I promised the king I wouldn't harm any of his people… For now."
One of the men standing behind him nodded and went to the boy in green.
Link walked out of the room smiling in disbelief. "Am I free to go?" He asked.
"Yes sir. We are dropping all charges. You are to leave Gerudo and never return. You have 24 hours to get out of the territory." One of the guards said.
"Thank you." Link said as they removed his chains. "I will completely obey orders and never return."
Link walked down the alleyway, which led to the stables. "I wonder where they put Epona when I was in there. To be honest I wonder how long I was in there?" He asked himself.
A small boy rushed to link in the stables? "Hey mister." The kid said. "My dad has kept your horse safe. She is in the back of the stables. He needs to ask about the deal you had with him." The kid smiled.
"Thanks." Link said as he walked back to where the horses were.
"Mutoh." Link shouted as he walked up.
"Link! Its about time I was getting worried and expected the worst."
"I know. Gannon let me go. I don't really understand why?" Link laughed.
"Well here is Epona as in good shape as ever. Now about that deal?" He smiled.
"Yup." Link said handing him a Gray rupee. "Keep the change. For the delay."
"Thanks Link." Mutoh said smiling.
"By the way how long was I in there for?" Link said.
"3 years." Mutoh said.
"3 YEARS? Saria is going to kill me."
"That is if she even wants to talk to me." Link smiled riding off.
"Take care of your self." Mutoh said."
Link rode down the dirt road for a while until rocks started disappearing and trees began to show. He came to the fork, which led to the castle or Lake Hylia.
He went towards the castle and then turned from there to the forest. He looked at the castle panicking of the memories he was scared with. Gannon. All of the Demons he left in links way to get the princess down. Then nearly perished from injuries if not for Zelda and her wisdom of time travel. She sent him back to the first day they met. Link couldn't come to say anything and run away. Zelda could understand. She could see the fear and expression on his face.
Link finally snapped out of it noticing the sun go down he entered the lost woods. He walked through the first hollowed out log. Before long the sun was down and he managed to get back to kakariko. Link climbed the small ladder. Which all the young foresters made for him back 18 years ago when he was a baby.
He walked into his house and through a match and wood in the stove to warm the place up. He wondered into the back of the room which had his bed. There was a small note with the name Link written on the front.
"Link… I hope everything is ok. I haven't seen you around lately. I wanted to come and say hello but you weren't here. I hope all is ok and life for you is as well off. I wanted to make myself known to your forest friends but that's not something you would want to deal with. Saria and I are discussing your relocation to Hyrule castle town. We think it would be best for you to join us. That is if your willing to come here. I know what happened all that time ago. I wanted to apologize for ruining your life. You don't know how sorry I am. I hope we can be friends again like we were all that time ago. I miss having you around.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Princess Zelda /Shiek"
Link looked the note over one more time. Wanting to make sure it was real. His heart beat fast for some reason. It's like he really truly missed Zelda. Link fell asleep shortly after that night knowing what was to come.
