Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda
A figure wrapped in a black cloak can be seen walking over a long bridge leading into a walled town. His breath visible in the cold weather of the winter night. He appeared normal in every way, a normal person wouldn't give him a second look. But a young woman on a white horse surrounded by guards was staring at him as she crossed the bridge leaving the town. She sensed something coming from him, an aura of pure power. She looked at her hand, a golden triangle was shining brighter and brighter as they got closer to each other. She had her guards stop and she waited for the man to come closer. Her guards looked at the man and noticed that he was discomforting the woman and they confronted the man, weapons drawn and ready. "You are causing the princess discomfort, apologize to her now," they ordered him.
"Is it against the law to cross this bridge?" the man asked in an unearthly voice causing the guards to become defensive.
"Remove your hood," they ordered preparing to attack.
"Alright," the man responded as he did so.
The man's face was enough to scare anybody, his hair was pure white as was his eyes, and red wing-like tattoos marked the sides of his face. However his eyes despite being pupil-less conveyed a message of being lost, that he had no idea where he was or even whom he was. "I am Princess Zelda, what is your name?" the princess asked him.
"Ze-zelda?" the man said looking confused, "My name is...My name is...I-I don't remember."
"Guards, take him to the castle doctor, he has amnesia," Zelda said as she looked at him with concern, "I think I know him."
"Yes milady, come with us," the guards said as they carefully lead the man into the town, Zelda following close behind.
They walked through the empty streets of the town and towards the white castle beyond it, going through the gates and walking down its decorated halls. They eventually reached a room and opened it, another man was reading inside and he got up the moment he saw Zelda was at his door, "Princess Zelda, what can I do for you?"
"Doctor Ris, we found a young man I think I know coming into town, he has amnesia, and can you help him?" Zelda asked leading the other man into the room.
"I don't know, usually an amnesia victim has to remember on his own," Doctor Ris answered, "Though if it is a magically induced amnesia that is a different story. Young man, what do you remember?"
"I remembered the name Zelda, the word Triforce, and Hyrule. That is all," the man answered sitting down after Zelda removed his cloak.
Under the cloak he was wearing black armor with the Triforce symbol and a moon on it, black gauntlets and greaves, a dark blue tunic, black pants, and black boots. On his back was an enormous broadsword whose blade was a helix shape. "Interesting, your appearance practically screams of power," Doctor Ris said looking at the armor and sword with great interest.
"Could you remove your left gauntlet?" Zelda asked him.
"Alright," the man answered removing it revealing the glowing symbol of the Triforce.
"I was right, it is you Link," Zelda said looking at it.
"Li-Link?" the man asked confused again.
"Yes, that is your name," Zelda said showing him her Triforce, "You are the bearer of the Triforce of Courage and I am the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom."
"Princess, you shouldn't try and tell him so much at once, I'm sure that he will remember at his own pace. Young man, would you mind if I have a word with the Princess alone?" Doctor Ris asked Link.
Link nodded in agreement as he pulled Zelda aside and asked her, "Is this how you remember him?"
"No, the last time I saw him was when we were children, his eyes were blue and his hair blonde back then. I was wondering if you would have any idea what could cause this?" Zelda asked him.
"Not exactly, I remember an old Gerudo legend about a being that looked just like he does now. Though I don't remember the details, and the book is back with them," Doctor Ris answered, "Maybe we could ask Ganondorf if we may borrow the book again."
"No, I don't want him to know about this, he could take advantage of this situation," Zelda said closing that line of discussion.
"Then you'll have to keep him out of sight for the next few days, he is coming here to negotiate another treaty. Your presence will be required, so what do you propose that we do?" Doctor Ris asked.
"I'll do some research on this legend, to see if any Hyrulian legends could provide answers, could you keep him here with you for the next few days?" Zelda asked him looking back at Link who was looking at the floor in thought.
"Yes, the Gerudo are unlikely to come to this section of the castle so he should stay unnoticed," Doctor Ris said as Zelda looked a little relieved.
"The reason Ganondorf hasn't attacked is because he thinks that Link will come and annihilate him if he does, he remembers the other timeline where he was imprisoned and he knows he has the Triforce of Power. What he would do if he found out Link was in this condition I don't even want to think about," Zelda said as she walked over to Link, "Doctor Ris here is going to look after you for a few days Link, I have to attend to..."
"I heard everything," Link told her looking at her with a confused look.
"Then you understand the importance of staying out of his sight?" Zelda asked him kindly.
"Yes, but what about that other power in the castle?" Link asked her.
"What do you mean other power?" Zelda asked slightly taken back.
"I feel something, I can't explain it but it feels like a woman and it feels like shadows," Link said cryptically.
"You must be referring to Impa, you don't have to worry about her," Zelda said as he sighed.
Elsewhere, in a camp a few miles away from Hyrule Castle Town, several Gerudo warriors were patrolling and talking. A man walked out of a tent and looked towards the castle. One of the warriors walked over and asked, "What is the matter King Ganondorf?"
"I feel another power, it isn't Zelda or her damn nanny, it feels like that friend of hers," Ganondorf responded glaring at the castle.
"Why is that a problem? Surely you could easily destroy him," the guard said trying to calm him down.
"That boy is different this time around. I cannot only sense that he is nearby, but I can sense where he is exactly. I can only compare it to looking into the sun. He now has a lot of power," Ganondorf snarled looking down at his hand, seeing the Triforce of Power glowing brightly, "I will have to meet with him under friendly terms if I expect to survive our next encounter."
The next day, Ganondorf arrived at Hyrule Castle with his contingent of Gerudo. Zelda was in the throne room with her father as Ganondorf presented himself to them. Ganondorf bowed deeply and said, "Thank you King of Hyrule for meeting with me."
"You are welcome King of the Gerudo, now what is it that you want?" the King of Hyrule asked.
"I am here to negotiate an open border policy with you, my people are having a harder and harder time to get the basic necessities of life. We need to trade with Hyrule to continue to survive," Ganondorf responded in a pleading tone.
"The Gerudo have always stolen what they need, why can you not do so now?" the king responded.
"Our numbers are dwindling, we no longer have the population to do so," Ganondorf responded clenching his fists.
"Zelda what do you think?" the king asked.
"The fact I do not like Ganondorf is well known, if it was only him I would not grant assistance. But my dislike for him does not give me a just reason to condemn an entire race to extinction," Zelda responded hiding her hand because the Triforce of Wisdom was shining through.
"What can the Gerudo offer us?" the king asked Ganondorf.
"Our skills in combat and survival are well known, we can teach your guards our styles. Our smiths are among the best, our weapons are excellent. We have many things I have never seen in Hyrule that could enhance it greatly as it can to us," Ganondorf said with a hint of pride.
"I shall think on this, we will meet again in three days and I shall answer," the king declared as he got up and walked out, "You are dismissed."
"Thank you King of Hyrule," Ganondorf said biting back his pride as he and the Gerudo walked out as well after a quick bow.
Elsewhere, Doctor Ris is sitting down at a table with Link as they spoke. "So you only remembered the name Zelda, you really had no idea who it was. Was there some emotion attached to it?" Ris asked him as he got up and went to a pantry.
"Yes, I felt that I had to protect her," Link said still confused.
"How? Last you saw her you were only a child, not capable of protecting her from anything," Ris asked bringing a few plates of food to the table.
"I don't know, it was what I felt though," Link answered looking at his bare hand at the glowing Triforce.
"What is the first thing you remember since you started coming here?" Doctor Ris asked.
"What do you mean?" Link asked confused further.
"Where were you?" Ris simplified as he began to eat.
"I remember a moon," Link said as he looked like he remembered something, "It was falling, then a blue room, with no doors, a mask, an evil mask, I remember me, as a child, then a mask I put on my face, then I turned into this. I defeated that mask, then the moon stopped and returned to the sky, I was in a field below it then, as a kid again..."
"Anything else?" Ris asked as Link shook his head, "Well it appears you deserve that piece of the Triforce. Stopping something like that takes a great amount of courage, unfortunately that only explains a small amount of time you spent away from Hyrule. The question remains of what you did the rest of that time."
There was a knock on the door and the Triforce on Link's hand began to glow brighter. "That must be Zelda, I'll answer the door," Ris said as he walked over to the door and opened it.
"Doctor Ris isn't it?" a man asked as he entered.
"Ga-Ga-Ganondorf? Wh-what can I do for you?" Ris stuttered as Ganondorf closed the door behind him.
"You can do nothing, I am here to meet with..." Ganondorf began to say as he noticed Link looking at him, "Onijin..."
"Onijin?" Link asked still confused but he felt a hatred he couldn't explain towards Ganondorf.
Ganondorf looked at Link's hand, and saw the Triforce piece glowing there, "The goddesses have a sense of supreme irony."
"What do you mean?" Link asked more confused than before.
"You, the one person that I fear is the great Onijin, the ancient god of the Gerudo," Ganondorf answered chuckling at Link's confusion, "You don't even know who you are do you?"
"My name is Link, not Onijin, it is as simple as that," Link said with a hint of anger.
"The name you were born with is Link, but you are destined for the name Onijin. I was expecting to see the Hero of Time ready to strike me down, but this is a pleasant surprise," Ganondorf said as he left.
"Who is he?" Link asked as the feeling of hatred passed.
"Ganondorf the Gerudo King, and according to Zelda the bearer of the Triforce of Power. But I think despite what he says, he fears you even more, he said you are a god. You are infinitely more powerful than he is," Ris said as he studied Link's armor, noticing that almost invisible symbols were on it.
Several hours later, Zelda is sitting in her garden wondering why she could still feel Link's presence even though he was far away. At least until Ganondorf walked into it looking pleased. "Well Princess, I have met the Hero of Time, and I must say I couldn't be happier," Ganondorf taunted, "He is the Fierce Deity, Onijin. The god of the Gerudo."
"What makes you think he will help you?" Zelda snapped at him furious at his boldness.
"It is in his nature, as the Onijin he will feel an affinity towards the Gerudo, he will favor them because it is his nature too. His memory may or may not return, but he will slowly find the Gerudo are as much a part of him as Din is to the Gorons, as Farore is to the Kokiri, as Nayru is to you Hylians. Even if his hatred of me returns he will help the Gerudo, but how he helps them is still unknown. He can either bring war to Hyrule or something else," Ganondorf responded before leaving her to think about it.
"The god of the Gerudo, he has become a god?" Zelda said to herself as she felt a presence, "Yes Impa?"
"Princess, I heard what he said to you, do you know the complete Legend of Creation?" Impa asked her appearing from the shadows.
"Din, Farore, and Nayru created Hyrule and left the Triforce, what else is there?" Zelda asked.
"Here is the last part of the legend. Before leaving Hyrule the Goddesses each left a race to watch over and govern it. Din came upon the mountains and felt its desire to live and speak, she went to Death Mountain's crater and forged the Gorons from fire and rock, giving life and speech to the mountain. Farore went into the forest and felt the life around her, but it was empty, there was no joy. She took the seeds from a tree and breathed life into them creating the Kokiri, the eternal children. To watch over them she took another seed and blessed it to become the Great Deku Tree. Nayru walked upon the plains and looked at how barren it was, knowledge cannot spread across a flat world and so she took a bit of clay and water in her hands and molded the Hylians from it and then gave it life. Then the Goddesses left Hyrule leaving behind the Triforce. Two gods descended on the land after the Goddesses. Majora the God of the Soul and Onijin the God of Light and Darkness. Majora descended on the rivers and found a fish, he looked at it and saw that it yearned to see what was above the water and walk with the other races it saw through the water. Thus Majora granted its wish to it and all of it's kind, creating the Zoras. Onijin descended to the desert, he felt it's blazing heat and felt its desires. It wished to bear life, it wished to nurture beings as the forest, the plains, the water, and the mountains did. Onijin took sand into one hand and formed pure light in the other, he put the two together creating the Gerudo. Their skin burned and their breaths melted. This Onijin knew would not do, they bred destruction, Onijin had darkness cover the desert bringing cooling winds to heal the Gerudo. With this done they came upon the Triforce and felt the power of the Goddesses, and felt that it needed to be protected. Majora created a sword of awesome power, and handed it to Onijin. Onijin pulled the sword apart, forming two swords, one of light and one of dark. The first he named the Master Sword, the second he named the Helix Blade. Majora raised a pedestal from the ground and encased the Triforce in the Sacred Realm. Onijin thrust the Master Sword into the pedestal locking the doorway into the Sacred Realm and then took the Helix Blade for himself. Their work done they too left Hyrule for the heavens, but dark gods were poised to enter Hyrule and they both felt it. They sealed Hyrule from those dark forces and as a result sealed themselves within two masks. The Fierce Deities Mask and Majora's Mask, they then descended on the land each taking a place where they would forever watch over the land, but their souls were separated from their masks and reincarnated," Impa told Zelda to her surprise.
"So Link is the reincarnation of this Onijin?" Zelda asked.
"Yes, only the reincarnation could regain his true power, and Link has the true power of a god," Impa answered as she looked at Zelda and said, "He is struggling now, whether he knows that he is or not. He is struggling with the ancient Onijin now, to stay who he is and not become Onijin. Right now it is a losing battle, Ganondorf's presence here is waking Onijin up from his long slumber. I believe the only reason Link is still there is because of the Triforce and its connection to Hyrule and you."
"What would happen if he does revert?" Zelda asked.
"He becomes the Fierce Deity, Onijin. He is the God of Light and Darkness, but he is also known as the God of Battle. Link was cursed to fight sense birth, and should Onijin win this battle for control between the two he will help the Gerudo. He will lead them into war. The Goddesses cannot interfere due to the seal he and Majora placed around Hyrule long ago. Only Majora can interfere and no one knows who is his reincarnation," Impa said.
"And if Link wins?" Zelda asked hopefully.
"It is likely he will still help the Gerudo, but it will not be in a war against Hyrule. How he will reflect Link's personality. The only thing we can do is help Link win out over Onijin," Impa said as Zelda began thinking about the implications of this inner fight Link was having.
And that is chapter 1! Onto the traditional questions...
1): What do you think? Interesting or not?
2): How is the characterization so far?
3): Did that legend sound stupid or did it actually sound good?
That's all! Now press that review button and give me one! Ciao for now!

The Goddesses cannot interfere due to the seal he and Majora placed around Hyrule long ago. Only Majora can interfere and no one knows who is his reincarnation," Impa said.

"It is likely he will still help the Gerudo, but it will not be in a war against Hyrule. How he will reflect Link's personality. The only thing we can do is help Link win out over Onijin," Impa said as Zelda began thinking about the implications of this inner fight Link was having.

2): How is the characterization so far?
3): Did that legend sound stupid or did it actually sound good?
