Zelda: The Legend of Link
Yes, Link. The star of all Zelda games, but what was life for him before saving Hyrule, a number of times?
Link was born May 13, 1986, in Hyrule Castle Town. When he was but a mere boy, age 2, his mom discovered she had an incurable decease, still unknown to man. Link's dad, the unstoppable man he was, started off to find a cure, leaving Link with his hardly living mother. The mother was eventually overrun by the decease, and died. The father, was suspected of dying from exhaustion.
Still young Link, now only days away from his third birthday, was left in care with the Kokori, in Kokori Forest. Saria, soon to be links best friend, treated Link like she would her own child. You must note here that Kokori do not grow up, so Saria would not grow any older than she was at the time, which was around the age of 12. Link was raised as a Kokori, playing, living, and sharing with the other inhabitants of the forest, but there is one thing the other kids had that Link didn't have yet, his own fairy. Every child had one, not as a gift or a treat, but they had them. Saria knew Link was not one of her kind, but she treated him like he was, so Link had no idea he wasn't Kokori, and wondered about his fairy's absence.
By the time link was 11, he didn't think as much about missing fairy. It was only one day before his 12th birthday, when his destined fairy came. The Great Deku Tree, watcher and caretaker of the forest, had sent his own fairy to Link.
Suspicious about this sudden gift, from a creature he had never met, Link paid a small visit to the Deku Tree. The tree had been cursed, by a dark, evil person named Ganondorf. Ganondorf, the evil person he is, cursed the Deku Tree so he, Ganandorf, could own the forest, and have the tree's power. With the forest in his palm, he could just as soon conquer the rest of Hyrule. Power was the only thing he wanted. The power of the Triforce.
Now, I realize I'm getting away from the subject of Link, but you must know the story of the Triforce.
The Triforce contains the essence of the gods, they were Din, the Goddess of Power, Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom and Farore, the Goddess of Courage. Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the Earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the Earth to give the spirit of Law to the world. Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law. These three great Goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving behind the Golden Sacred Triforce. Since then, the Triforce has become the basis for Hyrule's providence.
The Deku Tree's curse was breakable, but in order for that to happen, Link had to go inside. The inside had been, surprisingly, overcome by monsters. In fact, to break the curse, you had to destroy these monsters, but not necessarily the ones right in front of him, but the one in charge of the curse. Ghoma, a large spider, held the key to freeing the Deku Tree. Link took little time to eliminate this character, and saved the Deku tree, but only for a short time.
Once freed from the evil curse, the tree had only seconds to live. In his last breath, he had asked Link to go on and protect Hyrule from evil. Once Link had bid his farewells, he set off to Hyrule Castle, to visit Princess Zelda, ruler of Hyrule, but there was one person he hadn't seen yet. Saria, his friend for as long as he could remember, had not even been seen that day, Though waiting would only increase the chances of failure, and Hyrule becoming a place only for the dead.
Link wished Saria would have been there. For her too see him. For him too see her. A last memory of the forest. Well, as luck would have it, Saria just happened to be right there at the entrance to Hyrule Field, with a good-bye gift in hand. A mere ocarina, but a perfect rememberable thing for the occasion.
That was the end of the forest, or was it. Poor Link had no idea of how is adventure would end.
