There's A Zora in My Swimming Pool
The Legend of Zelda games have quite a variety of characters, from the simple minded Goron Tribe, to the mysterious Shieka Tribe. One of MY all time favorites has been the Zoras. I always thought they were the best tribe of the series. Even Link's Zora form in Majora's Mask was the coolest. I hope you enjoy this short story. I don't own any of the Nintendo characters written here, Nintendo does. Some attributes of Hyrulian peoples were created by me so as to make writing this piece easier, (and at some times possible). Also, this stuff didn't really happen… I just thought I'd remind you.

Was it so wrong to want to swim in peace? All I wanted was to take a little dip, but fate wanted more. It knew I couldn't resist helping out my all time favorite Videogame character. I had played the Legend of Zelda since I was little, but I never thought I'd see the day, where a Zora was in my swimming pool. I should really start from the beginning, before I get ahead of myself.
It all started mid-summer. There was a heat wave. Air conditioners were pumping relief into all the homes. I didn't need that. I had a pool. I didn't need to waste all my money on an energy sucking AC, but later, I wish I had. I unlocked my padlocked gate, and took off my sandals. I took off the cover of the pool with a single swoop, eager to jump. I strode over to the diving board, and hopped on. I shifted to the edge, looking at the less than clear, but relieving water.
As I looked carefully, I saw a small dark spot at the corner of the deep end. I knelt down, making the board bend noisily. It was slightly bluer than my pool liner, which would explain why I didn't see it earlier. It looked rounded, but it seemed that the water distorted it. Or did it? I laid down on the board, giving me an unstable, but better look at the mysterious thing, sunk at the bottom of my pool. I just wanted to take a swim, but I didn't want to jump in with a potentially dangerous something in my pool. I still could not make out the figure. I shimmied down all the way, until my face almost touched the water. I finally saw what was at the bottom of the pool.
