Author's notes: First fanfic, gimme a break, gimme a kit kat bar and enjoy the show... because as long as there is one lone fan out there.. I'll continue this story. And trust me, if my imagination goes as far as I think it is, it's gonna continue for quite a while.
Time Setting: Prologue is set at the party held after OOT (while Link is still 17), chapter 1 will start right after Majora's mask (can anyone say disgrace?).
Prologue: Forgetting the past
Multicolored flashing lights and cheerful music filled the air as Lon lon ranch's party continued well past midnight. During this small time of peace and happiness, all of the species gathered together to celebrate the banishing of the dark king of the Gerudos.
The Kokiri and skull kids, who were allowed one night to celebrate with their fellow citizens of Hyrule, contributed all of the music and used their knowledge to keep the bon fire lit but they had their fun too in leading the other species in many dances. Hylians from all over the land made sure to honor their friends and counterparts alike as they all joined together for dances. The Gorons did nothing more than dance the night away and create slight misfortunes for those who danced around them. Strangely enough, the rock-hard creatures would only dance during one song, one which was requested over 15 times already. The Zoras and the Gerudo's both helped out in providing food and drinks for the population, authorized by King Zora himself.
From all the happiness that lifted the spirits of those who perished, there were still some whose spirit could not be brought up. King Zora spent the whole night looking up at the sky, waiting for that blue spark of light that had flown over their party so many hours ago. He was pretty sure... no he was positive that THAT was his daughter, Princess Ruto of the Zoras. Seeing his daughter one last time would mean the world to him and so much more.
Then there was the small red-headed boy beside him, wallowing in his own self-pity as well. The boy, Mido, the leader of the Kokiri, had lost everything in 7 short years. He lost his first crush, the respect of his fellow Kokiri, and even his position as their leader. Through his hardships, he blamed one person, Link. But as Saria's song began to play for the 10th time, his sadness subsided momentarily.
Others had secret wishes as well and all of them involved the ones they would never see again. Darunia's son, Malon, even the King of Hyrule was in attendance and sulking about. The once jolly old man kept his face in the desert table and his back to the celebrations. All of them felt as if no once else understood the pain they were going through, but in fact every did. The people there did not celebrate Hyrule's freedom from Gannondorf's tyranny but they celebrated the heroes they knew saved the day.
As they continued to ponder these facts, the whole party stopped. The only sounds that could be heard was a drop of a pin and the screaming of a horse. The horse galloped through the gates of Lon Lon Ranch until it reached a sole figure in a green, Kokiri tunic. His gold plated gauntlets glowed from the pale moonlight, but his facial features could not be seen. The horse approached him slowly and bowed it's head, as if motioning for the person to get on. But instead, he kept on walking towards the party, grinning widely as he knew he was keeping everyone else in suspense. With an ocarina glimmering in his hand and a horse beside him, the figure made his way to the party.
***********************************************************************************************
There she was...
The most beautiful women in Hyrule, the girl every guy wishes he could lay eyes on once, and yet the most respected one of them all, staring right at him. The hero of time could hardly believe his eyes. Even in the dim, cloud silhouetted, morning sky from which they stood, she looked as though she were glowing brighter than the very Triforce. But he wasn't lucky for this chance, he earned it. Losing his childhood, his friends, and watching helplessly as people he cared for were killed or beaten... yes he deserved this more than anything in the world.
Slightly weary from battle and clenching the bright blue royal treasure that had caused so much trouble, he looked into her eyes. He wasn't looking for an answer or even a question to be asked. All the hero of time wanted was to hear her speak.
She, too, thought herself to deserve this chance. To be alone with the hero of time. The legendary man who would fulfill her dreams and the legends by becoming her king. The only problem was... it would be wrong for her to deprive him of the chance to relive the childhood she stole from him. She was the one who brought him into this mess and now she would pay the ultimate consequence.
"Hero of time...." She started slowly, "please, return the ocarina to me."
"Zelda... I..." Link swallowed hard and clenched the object tighter, "not yet."
"Not yet? I do not believe you understand, Link..." Zelda did not want to argue now. She loved him, truly and deeply to her very soul, but this was not right. It was her responsibility, her duty as the seventh sage of Hyrule, to return everything to its former place. To redo all that she had done to her own land. "I must return you to your real home... your real time... the way you should live... the way should be living!"
He slowly backed away from her, the ocarina glowing in his hands now.
"I want to say goodbye to the friends I have made," Link lowered his head, remembering all of them, "Malon, Talon, the cucco lady, Ingo, Dampe, even Mido! I want to see them all one last time... before... before..."
"Before they forget who you are."
"You can have the stupid ocarina back if you want," Link showed it to her, "It has caused plenty of trouble for me and I'm sure it's the main reason you brought me here anyways!"
"No... Link, I don't need it until you are ready to return to your true time," Zelda backed away slightly, not wanting to accidentally take it back so soon.
The Princess didn't understand completely now, but being who she was, she could never fully. During his travels, his mind wasn't just on saving Hyrule, but the saving the people. And now, having so many as friends, he wanted them to see him as they remembered him. Her mind began to wonder towards the party she saw before coming here and the look on the sages' faces as they watched their friends and family rejoice. For once, it didn't matter how she felt about the situation or what would happen if she granted his request. She was doing this for him; after all, he deserved it. Clasping her hands together and bowing her head, Zelda began to chant in an ancient language. Her body, as Link's, was enveloped in a light blue aura.
A strange ambition coming over him, Link shook his head from the light's 'floaty' feeling and just before Link could feel his body becoming light, he ran to her and separated her hands.
"Wait Princess! I have one more request..." Link looked up into her eyes, still holding on to her hands.
"Link?"
"I want to see everyone at the party... everyone."
"But Link everyone is there!"
Link shook his head and narrowed his eyes, a small smile coming to his face as he remembered them. The handless, wise man whom introduced him into his new time; a hyperactive, emotional Goron; an obsessed, selfish, but caring Zora; the intelligent, soft-spoken Sheikan; the desert leader who always looked at him like a kid; and of course his best friend from his childhood, the one he cared about the most.
"Please Princess, let me see them all one more time," Link pleaded, "before they forget who I am."
They... and that was it. It was too much of a request now! The law of the sages directly stated that the sages shall have no contact with the ones they protect. All except the leader shall protect their temples and areas forever. If the law is broken, the land will have it's revenge and the leader will be punished.
"You have no idea how much it would mean to me to see them again," Link looked downwards, "To see Saria, Darunia, and even Ruto would be the greatest thing in the world!"
The princess gazed into Link's eyes again, looking for some small doubt that he didn't want to see them. Something she could play on and hopefully change his mind. But there was nothing there and he was waiting for her response. As her gaze turned upwards, her mind began a true battle that put responsibility versus... love maybe?
"Alright Link..." Zelda gulped and nodded slowly, "I will transport you to the entrance of the Lon Lon ranch, then I will find the sages and bring them there."
Excitement flowing through his veins, Link pounced on Zelda and hugged her tightly. Both fell to the ground as Link laughed heartily at their current predicament.
Eyes wide, the princess of destiny just laid there, looking up at the handsome man who stole her heart again. To her body and her mind at its current condition, she made the right choice. The consequences of what she was about to do melted away as Link's face came closer to her own. In one hug, the princess could no longer control her body. She was paralyzed to the ground by the hero of time.
"Link... I... need to tell you something..." Zelda whispered.
"Princess?" Link just smiled at her, "I'll do whatever you want..."
When their eyes finally met, Link stopped laughing and realized where he had put himself. He wanted to pull away, he wanted to pull away so badly, but as her face crept closer towards his, this became impossible. Unable to control his body as well, the hero of time wrapped his arms closer around the waist of the princess. Closing his eyes and waiting for the inevitable, he tilted his head to the right slightly and sighed. Their lips met slowly and gently. The first actual kiss of his life, shared with the most beautiful Hylian in the world.
***********************************************************************************************
The princess of the Zoras yawned and leaned back against the solid boulder behind her. It was now hitting the four hour mark that the five were just sitting there, watching the party as it continued. She wanted to go and see all of her friends and her father again. Just by looking at the others, she could tell they wanted to see their loved ones just as much, maybe even more. Darunia, for instance, had that proud father look in his eyes. His son, Link, was down there celebrating their victory with his fellow Gorons.
All of them were getting tired, but knowing that they would never get to see their loved ones again, they all stayed. The law of the sages according to the Hyrule legends books stated that those who were granted the power to protect the land of Hyrule must remain in solitude to be prepared for anything. Even though they defeated Gannondorf, the law still took effect and disobeying the laws created by the Goddesses meant certain doom for all of Hyrule, not just them. The sages all envied Zelda the most, because the law never applied to the seventh sage. Throughout the eras, the seventh sage has secretly always been a member of the royal family and therefore had to be in the public eye, no matter what.
Ruto stood up shakily and plopped down next to Nabooru, who watched with a mischievous glimmer in her eye. The two surprisingly had much in common and got along pretty well for the past while. After the first 2 hours faded away, though, the nonchalant chatter tapered into an awkward, nerve-ending silence. She never was, and never would be a quiet, sulking person. So as her rebellious nature kicked in, she stood up and stomped her foot down.
"This is horrible!" She raved... for the tenth time in 2 hours, "I don't wanna be stuck up here forever! I wanna go down and have fun!"
"You know we cannot, Ruto," Impa calmly replied. She usually was the only one that would reply.
"Do you two have to say that every 5 minutes?" Nabooru yelled out, standing up, "You're driving me crazy and if ya don't mind, I don't wanna be responsible for waking up the little kid there!"
"You all are being too loud," Darunia whispered, protectively, "now sit down and be quiet!"
Darunia gasped slightly as Saria began to unconsciously adjust her position in her sleep. Moving to keep her on his back, he glared at the three that might have caused it. Carefully, he took his hand and slowly moved her head against his furry shoulder, rocking his body back and forth to keep her from waking up. With pure pride beaming from his eyes like a father, Darunia glared down the girls until they all silenced and sat back down in their respective places.
"I think we all should leave now," Rauru stepped up, his handless sleeves positioned behind his back, "Surely there is not much else we can do about the situation and if the night continues the four of you will end up waking the little one, who should probably be going to bed as it is."
Nabooru and Ruto nodded sadly. The wise sage was always right; maybe he should have received the Triforce of Wisdom. As they both began to get up, a bright, light blue spark erupted behind them, causing them to turn their heads immediately.
"Well you're going to have to wake her up anyways if you want to join the party..." A feminine voice came up from behind them. There, on the ledge of the summit, sat Princess Zelda. A childish glimmer in her eyes, she pointed to the party and smiled, "I think you all deserve it..."
The sage of fire's suddenly shift in position stirred the young Kokiri on his back to force her out of her peaceful slumber. Slowly, she opened one eye half way and looked at the nature of the disturbance. Forgetting all duties, manners, and ranks in her sleep-filled mind, Saria tilted her head and spoke softly.
"Huh? When'd you get here, Miss Zelda?"
"Just about a minute ago."
"Oh... tee hee hee hee... sorry Miss Zelda, I guess I kinda dozed off..."
Zelda nodded and turned her attention to Impa, who was staring her down like an enemy. She knew that Impa knew almost as much as she did about the legends of Hyrule. In fact, her fellow Sheikans wrote most of the legends based on past experiences guarding the royal family.
"Zelda... you can't allow this! We'll break the sacred laws!" Impa glared at Zelda, crossing her arms, "I certainly don't want to face the consequences for this, and I know you don't."
Zelda shook her head and explained the whole situation. How Link wanted to see them all. How time would be reversed anyways and they would all be reverted back to 7 years ago. The situation seemed to correct itself in time. Zelda tried to persuade herself of this as well, but in her heart she knew it wasn't true. In a matter of minutes, her tentative voice and fierce eyes took their toll on the sages and they succumbed to Zelda's wishes, except for Impa.
"Princess, I will not or ever condone what you are doing!" Impa shouted, "You cannot do this just because Link wants to see us!"
"But Impa, he saved all of Hyrule, doesn't he deserve this before we all forget him?" Ruto turned around, acting disappointed, "Everything will be alright, Impa, it will."
"Your teenage ambitions cloud both your minds," Impa shook her head, "are your feelings for the hero of time stronger than your sense of duty to our land? To the goddesses?"
Everyone's head went straight to the ground as they rethought out their decision. No one but Zelda and Impa actually knew the legends well enough to now how great of a risk they would be putting on themselves and the land of Hyrule.
"He would never come first to the Goddesses... but I choose Link over my sage-hood, I know that much,"
A few minutes later, 6 figures appeared behind Link and the horse. Everyone was now up and waiting for the arrival of the heroes of Hyrule. Heroes they would never remember, nor see again. At least... not in this time.

Chapter I: Who wants to be a happy mask salesman?
Link is revisited by his old friend from Termina before he stops his journey and attempts to return to the Kokiri Village to live out his childhood, but not before Zelda has any say in it. She wants her ocarina of time back... and maybe something more.
