Yes I rewrote this.. got a problem?
"That's okay, Thanks anyway." A green clad hero said to a hylian couple.
He had asked for directions for the next town, but they were as lost as he was. Link sighed. Though being alone in the forest wasn't new for the renowned hero, he would much rather sleep in an inn than among the trees for once.
The sun was setting and the young hero had yet to find a place to sleep.
Link continued on the dirt path, unaware of the magic presence around him and this random forest. Instead his mind was in deep thought.
He was a hero without an adventure.
No one needed him in Hyrule anymore.
When he returned from Termina he had merely adventured through Hyrule again, revisiting the temples he went through in the past collecting his old items in his old limitless fairy pouch, the one from Navi. But even with the security of his weapons, the Past still came back to haunt him or future for that matter.
When Zelda sent him back, he had returned to the time before they had met. Which was before he retrieved the spiritual stones and before he went on those wild adventures and met everyone he knew so no one knew who he was.
The ones who did remember, either didn't have time to spend with him or there was something else that prevented him from seeing them. Princess Zelda had her duty as the kingdom's future leader. Malon was working at her father's ranch keeping the man awake and his animals happy. He'd visit his two hylian friends on occasion. Zelda, when he managed to sneak past the guards and Malon when she wasn't working as hard.
He was still alone.
His other friends couldn't relate to him as well seeing as they were from a different race. He figured that they would have forgotten but it seems that the Sages remember the gist of what had happened, save one. They acknowledged Link every time he had happened to come by.
Whenever he went to Zora's domain, Ruto made the other zoras treat him as he was their prince. They didn't seem to understand why but they obeyed. Though, when she wasn't looking they had swimming races, Link as Mikau, and treated him just like they did before even if it hadn't happened.
She was always so strange that zora girl. She had gave him strange looks all the time and always insisted on sitting next to him whenever he chose to rest.
Now, the Gorons. They always challenged Link, more often as Darmani, to arm wrestling and other tests of strength. They had still called him brother. Perhaps Darunia filled them in. Although, Darunia himself hadn't the time to see Link himself.
The same with the Sheikah. Impa was busy being Zelda's body guard and nanny but she managed to inform the few remaining sheikah, who were in hiding, about Link. They did the same as the other races. The only exception was the fighting.
And then there was the Gerudo. He hadn't visited the Gerudo until he had grown a few more inches. At first they had treated him like a kid but then Nabooru came along. She then told them that he was welcome and that was the start of it. Those desert girls warmed up to him in an instant. They told him to visit any time and winked at him.
They did that a lot, all these girls. Zelda, Malon, Ruto, the Gerudo and all the girls in castle town. Even Impa did once except it was not like the others. It was the other eye. Did that make it different?
He was welcomed with every Hyrulian race the Sages touched. However, it was never the same. The sages had to tell then who he was and he hadn't like that. Link had so much more before he was sent back and although that time was promising it was also not his to claim. Even if they heard about him they hadn't thought of him as their true friend as they had 7 years in difference.
He did not have a place here.
And then there was his home, the woods he grew up with. The only place that hadn't change. The one that couldn't change.
He remembered the last time he went to the Kokiri forest. They had treated him like they always did. And acted like they usually would. Mido teased him. Saria played the ocarina with him. The twins asked questions. The so called know-it-all brothers wanted to know it all.
It was like he never left. Until they reminded him-
"Hey, Link? Doesn't it seem like you've grown a bit?"
-That he wasn't a Kokiri.
"w…What? n-Nah, It's probably because you haven't seen me for a while. You've forgotten how tall I am." He laughed painfully.
He forgot.
He forgot that even if this world would not change, he would. He would continue to change and then they would notice.
"Yeah that must be it. Kokiri don't grow!" They laughed. Even Saria, who unconsciously knew that he wasn't like them. She was the only one who didn't remember being a Sage. It was the Deku tree who remembered. Maybe he had something to do with her memories. Link had to remember to thank him once he was able to return unrecognized.
He had laughed to cover his pain.
Then he cut their get together short. Said that he had to go because of something he had to do outside the forest. The complete lie went unnoticed. He had nothing outside the forest. This was his home, and now he was leaving it.
"What?" "Awww." "But you just got back."
"Sorry, but it can't wait." He needed to leave before they noticed his voice. His Hylian blood would affect his voice next.
"Fine" "Alright." He relaxed when he heard them giving in and began to leave when a small voice was heard.
"You'll come again soon, right?"
Link paused. Then nodded.
"Yeah, I will."
"Promise?" One of the twins asked. Her eyes beaming with expectation.
He swallowed hard. Every second made it harder. He hated lying.
"I Promise" and gave them a smile he had perfected for this moment.
Soon enough he had ran out of places to explore and things to do. And so he had left the kingdom of Hyrule. There was little keeping him there.
His last special place in this kingdom, grown out of.
"What in the..!" Link rubbed his eyes. Breaking him from his memories. "Sand?" There was sand being blown in his eyes. He was in the middle of a forest. Why is there sand-
"Argh." A sand storm? Link couldn't tell with his eyes closed.
He just felt the wind blowing what he thinks to be sand, against his green tunic. He could feel the magic mixed in with the wind and dust. Seconds after the storm started Link was knocked off his feet. His own wind escaped him.
It took him a few seconds to recover. That felt strangely familiar.
The storm seemed to have stopped but Link couldn't open his eyes just yet. They were tearing up from the salt and sand thrown in his face.
"And they wonder why I never visit them often." Link was referring to the gerudo of the desert. He never wanted to go into the troublesome desert without good reason. His forest refined eyes just couldn't take it.
He finally got his watery eyes to open after using his sleeve to wipe the pesky particles away. He looked around from his position on the ground.
Nothing has changed.
He was still in a forest full of trees. Not to mention that the wave of magical energy passed like it was never there. Even now he couldn't remember if it was really there in the first place.
'That was strange…' Link thought. He rolled his shoulders before reaching for his sword.
Small heavy footsteps. A bad odor. Must be a Bulblin.
A couple more footsteps trampled the grass.
'My mistake, a group of the green creatures.' He corrected himself before finishing off the last outmatched monsters. He felt out of breath which was strange because they were only bulbins. They looked a lot different than the ones he's used to. But they were definitely of the same race.
"oh.. well." He sheathed his sword. His knees began to feel weak.
How his enemy's looked didn't concern him. All that mattered was whether or not they attacked him. "And whether or not I can beat them." The hero of time said before collapsing.
The unmistakable green tunic, blond hair and trademark hat. I bet if his eyes weren't closed they would be blue.
Yup this is Link, no doubt about this. The only person I can think of that would ever impersonate the Hero of Hyrule, other than harmless children, would be Tingle. He's the only one who hasn't gotten destroyed by the goddesses for mimicking their hero.
This is certainly not Tingle. If this was, in fact, Tingle I'm not sure if even the seven sages could stop me from using him as target practice. Too bad he's already dead, why did he, of all the nonevil people of Hyrule, have to die of old age. When his decedents or perhaps reincarnation appears, I hope I meet him with a quiver full. It might pay to have a moving target and some good motivation to hit it. My last practice session with this blasted bow didn't end well. I still haven't picked out all of the splinters yet.
What is the chosen hero doing out in this forest anyway?
I take a good look around me and notice traces of bulblins. Ah, those wretched pigs, how I hate them so. I blame them for all of my splinters. Trees aren't as easy to climb as one might think.
So he got taken down by a bulbin, or bulbins rather, and- wait what?
Link got beat by a couple of bulblins? Those blasted, good for nothing monsters? Zant is to attack in a week!
What is tearing at my head? Oh those are my fingers.
If he can't fight a couple of uncoordinated trouble makers how on earth is he-
wait... I seem to be thinking at a lot lately, which is strange since patience isn't something I'm known for... Zant hadn't attacked yet. If Zant had attacked then the twilight beasts would have attacked, Faron. And if Faron was attacked, then the forest would be in twilight.
I'm in Faron forest right now aren't I?
So, of course, since this place is not in perpetual twilight, then Faron should still be around in one piece, and Zant couldn't have attacked yet because he is scheduled to attack NEXT week. That gives me around seven days or something. I forget what day it is.
But if that's the case... why is Link already in his hero clothes? I get closer, as close as I would possibly dare, and actually get a good look at the kid. He's wearing the tunic alright, goddesses forbid if he wasn't. But something's different. I knell beside him.
He has a lighter blond hair than Link, and a slimmer build. The collar of his shirt come to my attention and then his sword and shield. The shield was the unbreakable, completely reliable, hylian shield like most and the sword-
"The biggoron sword?" I slowly pull out the goron blade from it's sheath.
Yup this was definitively the biggoron sword and not the giant knife, it's shine is clearer and it shows use of more than 80 strikes. But if this is the biggoron sword, this cannot be the Link in Ordon... I push the boy's bangs away from his face...Then who is he?
okay so how was it? I didn't change the whole thing only edited some parts... okays so Serena's part is completely different. that doesn't matter
