It was a beautiful day in the small, quiet village of Ordon. Link was sitting on the wooden pier back behind Jaggle's house, fishing for greengill. The five small fries he had already caught were sitting in a small pile next to him.

Link loved to fish in gorgeous weather like this. The sun was shining pleasant and warm, but not too hot, and the wind was blowing, but not too cold. The sky was pure blue and free of clouds and the water was clear and cool. Link dipped his bare feet in the lake.

There was a tug on his fishing pole. He pulled the pole back while reeling the fish in. He had to fight with the fish a little bit, which made him wonder how big it was. Usually they didn't put up a fight. When he finally reeled it in, however, the coral earring he used as a hook yielded nothing. Link chuckled as he reached for the bottle of bee larvae on his right side.

As he reached for his hook to put the bait on it, Link found himself staring at the coral earring. He remembered when he had received it as a present from his Zora friend Prince Ralis during the time when Ganondorf had tried to take over the Sacred Realm and Link had stepped up with his Triforce of Courage to stop him.

All of a sudden, Link had flashbacks of that journey: his best friend Ilia being kidnapped; being turned into a wolf; finding the Fused Shadows; escorting Midna to Zelda when Zant had exposed her to the light; finding the three Mirror Shards; defeating Ganondorf; saying goodbye to Midna as she entered the Twilight Realm and left Hyrule for the last time. He remembered that time like it was yesterday, but that had happened years and years ago.

"Link?" a voice called, snapping Link out of it. Link turned around and saw Ilia walking towards him.

"Yes?" he replied, looking over his shoulder.

"The Postman came just now. He has a letter for you. I volunteered to give it to you," she said, placing a small white envelope next to the bottle of bee larvae.

"Thanks," Link smiled. "Do you want to come sit by me?"

"That's okay, I have work to do," Ilia smiled back sweetly. "But thanks!" She skipped off.

Link decided to put his fishing gear away and go home. He took the bait off of the earring and put it back in the bottle, picked up his catch of the day, his letter, and his bottle, and then he headed home.

It was a short and pleasant walk. As he crossed a little bridge over a creek and followed a path to his house, he passed Hanch and waved a hello to him. He also walked past the children of the village; Malo and Talo (Jaggle's sons) and Beth (Hanch's daughter).

As he gave them all hugs, Link became a little bit sad. There was another child in the village; Colin, Rusl and Uli's son. He was gone to train as a knight at Hyrule Castle under the leadership of Princess Zelda's top knight. Colin had been gone for about a year now; everybody missed him.

Finally Link reached his house on the outskirts of Ordon Village. He climbed up the ladder and opened the door.

Link's treehouse-like home was small, but Link was okay with that. He didn't live with anybody else, so it suited him just right.

Link set his fishing gear down in a corner and sat down at his table. He pulled his letter out of his pocket and ripped the envelope open, and then he read it to himself.

"Link,

I have a surprise for you! It will come to your village tomorrow. We haven't talked for a long time; I would love to catch up sometime! :)

-Your old friend"

"That's weird," thought Link. "It doesn't say who it's from." He decided to shrug it off as he got up from the table to go do his goat-herding job.
