The Legend of Zelda: The Triforce Awakens
An Original Story by Sinfonie Electoria
The first stirrings of consciousness came to me with the creation of my sister, Din. I watched from my place in the Limbo between existence and nothing as the Great Goddess Hylia traced a triangle emblem in the air (although it was not really air, Hyrule had not been created yet) and gently blew on it. From this Din stepped forth. She had a form! It was greatly exciting to me, as I had not been anything before. I gazed intently at Din's form, watching the firey radiance bursting off of her that only immortals could see. Immediately I knew she had power that was not to be trifled with.
Eagerly I awaited my turn, my time to have a physical being. But the calling never came.
Hylia spoke sweetly to Din, leading her out of the space in which I could see and through a glittering doorway. That was when I created the first word. Light, I thought. That is what is coming from the door. Light.
But soon there was a blinding flash of this light. Stop! I thought. Too much light! I closed my mind and waited. The light gradually faded away and I dared to open my mind again. What I saw dazzled me, though not with light, but with its sheer beauty.
It was an open expanse of an area, so beautiful that I immediately had to make words for all of the amazing features of the area. But first, it needs to be called something. It should be called land, I thought. I began to create words for all of the life forms and features. I called the green life forms that grew on the ground plants, the plants with giant, thick brown stems trees, and the area in which there were many trees forests. Then I moved on to the areas of the land that had many ribbons of blue. These ribbons of blue I named rivers, and the object which filled them water. I felt an immediate connection to this water, and loved it with all my heart. The great expansions of water I called oceans, lakes, and seas. The rivers remained my favorite, though. I soon moved on to the hot areas of the land. There were strange beings here that had forms much like my sister Din, though they were darker than her. I reached out with my mind to give them a name, but something was blocking me. I could not tell what it was, but the words somehow filled my head, as if they had already been named.
Gerudos. Desert. Mountain. Valley. Those were the words that had been chosen for the beings. I sighed and relaxed my mind. There was nothing more to do than to daydream and observe the beings which Hylia and Din had created.
I do not know for how long I watched, but I was appalled at the ruthless behavior of these beings. They were simply hungry for power and would backstab one another cruelly and coldly. I felt absolutely devastated at the mess which Hylia and my sister had created. If only my wisdom had had a form, I might have been able to help the pitiful creatures.
But it appeared that Hylia had observed the malevolent nature that the beings took, and began to craft a plan to alleviate their hunger for power.
I watched both the Mother Hylia and Din step into the first place I remember: the dark room in which Din had been created, the Room of Legend. Hylia instructed Din to rise onto the top pedestal of an elegantly crafted triangle emblem. It appeared to be a magic web infrastructure of some sort. Din, as ordered, stepped onto the platform. As soon as she set foot on it, the emblem began to glow and a vein of magic poured around the outline of the triangle. I felt the power rise into the air. I knew it was my time for a form, my time to be a reality! But as I waited, I soon knew that it was not my form Hylia intended to create. It was the form of another, this time a male. He was tall and strong-looking, with a brave, courageous aura about him. Though he looked regal, I could feel a hint of playfulness in his aura and watched as he grinned and took in his surroundings.
Then Hylia spoke. "You are Faron, the god of courage and brother to the goddess of power. You shall be the one to bring order to the land of Hyrule, the land we shall rule over together. You, Faron, are the last hope of Hyrule."
No! He's not! What about me? I wanted to scream, to make Hylia hear my pleas, and grant me a form. I wept in my mind for what seemed like an eternity. Later I calmed my mind and set to observe the creatures. I noticed there was a new race. Kokiris, I named them, for Faron had forgotten to give them a name.
Over many moons the inhabitants of Hyrule began to shift their behavior to become kinder. They became more courageous and friendly, with more room for humor. However, every single inhabitant was still hungry for power, and now they had the courage to take more drastic measures to getting what they wanted. Hyrule was in a complete mess, and it looked like there was no turning around.
Turmoil raged within Hyrule. War was constant and relentless. The population plummeted. Hyrule had entered a dark age, a time of no culture or learning, simply trying to stay alive. Hylia had become desperate as well. She paced around the temple in the sky, wailing constantly. It seemed there was nothing she could do.
I truly believed we were doomed as well. Hylia did not know that I existed and could bring peace to Hyrule. My mood soured and I spent my days in a haze of grief.
On the last day, one day before the world would come to an end, I noticed Din and Faron whispering together in a corner. Hope sparked in their eyes, and they raced toward Hylia.
Hylia took notice of them and hugged them tight.
"Mother!" Faron spoke first. "We found it! The savior of Hyrule!"
Hylia stopped sobbing for one moment.
"Follow us to the Room of Legend," Din ordered, and both Hylia and Faron chased after her to the room. Now I knew it was my time.
Din and Faron stepped onto the triangle emblem.
"Do the spell! Call upon our sister, the third goddess who will bring Hyrule out of its dark age," Faron said urgently.
Hylia drew the triangle in the air and gently blew. Din's and Faron's magic outlined the triangle emblem on the ground. I felt it, my calling. Finally, after waiting for so long! I lost consciousness and fell.
At first I heard nothing. Then I opened my mind and found that when I did that, I had eyes! I was finally a being!
Hylia looked upon me lovingly. "You are Nayru, goddess of wisdom and sister to Faron and Din, the deities of courage and power. You are the jewel of Hyrule, the one who will restore Hyrule to peace and prosperity, making it into a golden land, one that will be adored and cared for by the Hylians, the Gerudos, the Kokiris, and your chosen people."
I looked up at her and my siblings. "It will be a land of bliss," I told them, and smiled.
Sorry to keep you waiting so long for a new update. I finally got a computer in my room though, so hopefully updates will be quicker now! Hope you enjoyed reading, and now a few notes:
-A Day in the Life of Link, a Hyrule Academy Student may or may not be canceled.
-There will be no Twilight Bon-bon Festival story/
-Keep on a lookout for a new story, though: When the Hylians Came.
