^.^ Chapter 1 ^.^ - Rescued
Zelda woke with a start. Looking around, her breathing eased, but then, she gasped. She was unable to identify her surroundings. Sitting against the wall, she covered her face with her hands and strained her memory, trying to figure out where she was and how she got there. It came back in bits and pieces. She had run away from Hyrule. she had stumbled into the forest and kept running.. She remembered that when it turned dark, she was tired and sat on the edge of a cliff, not that she knew it was a cliff then. She had fallen off, but that's as far as she could remember. It still didn't answer the question of why she was here. Opening her eyes, Zelda took a closer look at her surroundings. She was in a house, she could tell that much, but she didn't know where and whose house. The worry on the princess's face made it hard to tell that she was only in her late teens, growing up in Hyrue Castle the whole of her life. Her experience had wisened her and she knew many things about the lore of the Triforce and of Hyrule. She knew many complex arts of magic and sorcery. The only thing she didn't know. was her real past.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" Zelda cried out into the silence, desperately hoping that she wasn't alone, but she didn't want to run into anyone that she couldn't deal with.
There was no response, but Zelda called out again. Still no answer. Zelda started to cry. She hated to be alone. She felt so insecure. Soon, she heard a distant neigh. Zelda found that she was unable to stand. Her leg was paining too much. All she could do was wait. And hope that the horse wold bring help.
"Hello?" a male voice called into the silence.
"Hello?" Zelda replied, "Who is there?"
The male appeared at the door of the room Zelda was sitting in. He looked like he was the same age as her. He carried a sword and shield on his back and Zelda was sure she could see a quiver too.
"Who are you?" Zelda questioned the stranger.
He didn't reply, but bent down and examined Zelda.
"How did I get here?" Zelda asked the stranger, eying him with curiousity.
"I heard a crashing sound last night. When I went to investigate I saw your hand sticking out from under some rock. The cliff probably collapsed. I got you out and brought you here," the male answered. "This is my house by the way," he added off-handedly.
"Oh," Zelda nodded. She was glad that she knew how she got here now.
"What is your name?" he asked.
"Zelda. My name is Zelda," she answered.
The male nodded and frowned as if he was trying to remember something.
Zelda guessed that he had heard the name before, "I was named after the Princess of Hyrule. Her name is also Zelda," she added quickly, unwilling to reveal her identity. The stranger sitting in front of her couldn't be trusted. No-one could, "What is your name?"
The male shook his head, "It isn't important."
Standing up, he began to walk out of the room.
"Don't leave!" Zelda cried as she struggled to stand, but collapsed in pain.
"You shouldn't try to stand yet. I think you broke your leg when you fell last night," he bent down and inspected Zelda's broken leg.
"Well that's just great!" Zelda cried sarcastically.
The male looked at her, his eyes were a deep azure and his hair was a gentle blonde, his skin was tanned, "Don't worry. I've broken bones heaps of times. I can help you. I think you should just stay here for a while."
Again, he stood up and walked away.
"Wait!" Zelda called.
Again, he stopped and turned around.
"I don't know your name!" Zelda said earnestly.
The male sighed, "If you insist. My name is Link."

Koume: Well, there you have it! The first chapter. Tell me if u liked it or not. Pleeez ^_^ Anyways. did Link really remember Zelda's name only 'cos he's heard of the princess before, or is there a deeper reason? Why was Zelda running away from Hyrule in the first place? How come she doesn't know her real past? And what is Link doing living in the middle of the forest by himself? Read on to find out!!
