Well isn't this a surprise? Me writing a non-Naruto fanfiction for once. Well I've gotten tired of writing Naruto fanfics, at least for the meantime. I've really gotten into the Legend of Zelda as of late and I've been going back and playing the old games as well as the newest one Twilight Princess for the Wii. I have a total of six Zelda titles and I hope to get every game in the series minus the God awful CDi games which I don't even consider a part of the actual Zelda series because Nintendo didn't take part in their development. This is going to be a retelling of Ocarina of Time with objects taken from both the game and the manga as well as my own additions. Hope you guys enjoy my new story, Ocarina of Time Redux. Oh by the way I don't own anything.
In the vast deep forest of Hyrule long have I served as the guardian spirit. I am the Deku Tree. The children of the forest, the Kokiri live here with me. Each Kokiri has his or her own guardian fairy. However there are two boys that do not have fairies.
Dream Sequence
There stood two young boys on a dark and stormy night outside of what looked like a draw bridge. As the draw bridge opened a white horse with two figures were running out to a field. One figure who looked to be a little girl looked back at the two. Both of the boys then turned around to see another horse with a monstrous man on top of it. The man looked was tan with red hair and an evil look on his face.
End Dream Sequence
"Navi, Naomi, where art thou? Come hither.
Two bright figures flew up towards the tree.
"Oh Navi and Naomi listen to me. Dost thou sense it? The climate of evil descending upon this realm. Malevolent forces even now are mustering to attack our land of Hyrule. For so long, the Kokiri Forest, the source of life, has stood as a barrier, deterring outsiders and maintaining the order of the world. But before this tremendous power, even my power is nothing. It seems the time has come for the boy without a fairy to begin his journey. The other boy who also does not have a fairy will accompany him. You two go find them and bring them to me. I do not have much time left." The Deku Tree said.
The two fairies flew off into the forest. Navi and Naomi managed to find the tree where both the boys lived. One lived on top, the other on the bottom of the tree. Navi went to the top of the tree. She found a boy dressed in green sleeping soundly.
"Hello, Link. Wake up! The Great Deku Tree wants to speak with you! Link get up!" Navi said.
The boy just turned over on his side.
"Hey! C'mon. Can Hyrule's destiny really depend on such a lazy boy?" Nave said.
Link groaned as he woke up.
"All right I'm up. Just who are you?" Link said while rubbing his eyes.
"I'm Navi. I'm your new guardian fairy" She said.
"A fairy? But I don't have a fairy." Link said.
"You do now. C'mon we have to go talk to the Great Deku Tree" Navi said.
"Okay lead the way" He said.
Below Link lay another boy wearing green. Like Link he also had blond hair and blue eyes but his hair was a darker shade of blond and his eyes were light blue. He was sleeping as well with no signs of waking up. Naomi came flying in and landed on the side of his head.
"So you're Link's best friend huh? C'mon get up! Link and you have an appointment with the Great Deku Tree" Naomi said.
The boy known as Solomon raised his left hand and attempted to swat the fairy away. She managed to fly out of the way just in time.
"Damn mosquitoes" Solomon whispered.
"Mosquito?! Alright buddy boy you asked for it!" Naomi said as she flew towards his face again. She jumped up and down until he was finally awake.
"Alright! Alright! I'm up! Who are you and what do you want!?" Solomon yelled.
"Now is that any way to talk to your new guardian fairy?" She said with a smug smile on her face.
"Guardian fairy? What?" Solomon replied.
"The Great Deku Tree wanted me to be your guardian fairy. He also wants to speak with you and your friend, Link now hurry up and let's go!" Naomi said.
"Okay fine. Let's go" Solomon said.
Link was climbing down the latter as Solomon was exiting his part of the tree.
"Mornin' Link" Solomon said.
"Good morning Solomon. Hey you're not going to believe this" Link said.
"Let me guess you finally got a fairy?" Solomon asked.
"Well yeah how'd you know?" Link said.
"Because I got one too" Solomon said as he pointed to Naomi.
"Wow. We both got fairies on the same day? That's a coincidence if I've ever seen one" Link said.
"You're telling me" replied Solomon.
"Hey you two!" a voice said.
The voice belonged to their friend Saria. Like all of the Kokiri she was clad in green.
"Good morning Saria" Link said.
"Good morning Link." Saria said.
"Hey Saria, notice anything different about us?" Solomon said.
She looked for a bit and then realized what he was getting at.
"Wow! You two got fairies. That's great news!" She said.
"Yeah it is. Now me and Solomon here have to go see the Great Deku Tree" Link said.
"That's quite an honor to speak with him. I'll wait for you two here." Saria said.
Link and Solomon began to explore the forest.
"You know Link I'm thinking you're going to need a sword and shield." Solomon said.
"What makes you say that?" Link said.
"Well think about it. The Great Deku Tree wants to talk to us so I'm thinking he might want us to do something that requires those items" Solomon said.
"Good point" Link said.
"C'mon. Let's crawl through here. I've heard rumors that there might be a sword hidden back here" Solomon said while pointing through the hole in the wall.
After about fifteen minutes of dodging huge boulders Link managed to find a Kokiri sword.
"Looks like the rumors were true" Solomon said.
Solomon already had his Kokiri sword and shield. He was a master craftsman so he made his shield out of a tree that had fallen down in the nearby woods.
"You know Link I'd offer to make you a shield but that takes time and that's something we're in short supply of" Solomon said.
"So what do I do? I don't have a whole lot of money" Link said.
"You do now" Solomon said while reaching into his wallet and pulling out forty rupees.
"Really?" Link said in.
"Yes" Solomon said.
"Thank you so much!" Link said.
"Now don't get romantic on me Link. Just hurry up and let's get to the shop" Solomon said.
After traversing to the local Kokiri shop, Link bought the shield and both of them headed towards the Deku Tree.
As they were at the entrance an old enemy of theirs was blocking the way.
"Out of the way Mido" Link said.
"Only true Kokiri are allowed through here. You two don't even have fairies" Mido said.
"Open your eyes Mido. What do these look like?" Solomon said.
"What? You two actually got fairies? I don't believe this!" Mido said.
"Now step aside" Link said.
Mido grumbled as he walked away.
They made their way towards the clearing where the Deku Tree resided.
"Great Deku Tree we're back!" Navi and Naomi said.
"Oh you two…thou hast returned. Link, Solomon welcome. Please listen what I, the Deku Tree am about to tell thee. Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless, and full of nightmares. As the servants of evil gain strength, a vile climate pervades the land and causes nightmares to those sensitive to it. Verify thou hast felt it. Link the time has come to test thy courage. I have been cursed. I need you to break the curse with your wisdom and courage. Dost thou have enough courage to undertake this task?" The Great Deku Tree said.
"I do" Link said.
"Then enter young hero and loyal companion" The Deku Tree said.
The two boys entered the tree. They were in awe at what they were seeing.
"Goddesses above" Solomon whispered.
After ascending to a higher level of the tree they went through a door where they fought off a Deku scrub. Going through the next room and obtained the slingshot.
"That's gonna come in handy with those Skulltulas" Solomon said.
After climbing even further up the inside of the tree they encountered four giant skulltulas. Link managed to shoot them down with the slingshot.
"You're a pretty good shot with that thing Link" Solomon said.
"Thanks" Link replied.
They looked down and saw the spider's web in the middle of the floor.
"Did breaking the curse require suicide?" Solomon said.
"Oh Solomon the Great Deku Tree wouldn't send us on a suicide mission" Link said.
"Fine but you're jumping first" Solomon said.
Link closed his eyes and leaped off the edge and fell to the ground onto the spider web and broke it. He kept falling until he hit water below.
"Please Nayru don't let me die!" Solomon said before jumping himself.
"Holy crap!" He yelled all the way down until he hit the water.
"Hey I'm alive!" Solomon said.
"Of course you are now hurry up and get out of the water" Link said.
Solomon got out of the water while Link grabbed a Deku stick and lit it on fire. They jumped over the water and went up to the spider web covering the door and burned it. The next room contained another Deku scrub that they fended off and went into the next room where there was a floating block and a rotating spiked log.
"Great. Now what do we do?" Solomon said.
"There's got to be a way to get past it." Link said.
After looking around the room they noticed a switch at the bottom of the water. Solomon held his breath and dived down and flipped it. After hurrying back to the surface Link and Solomon jumped onto the floating block and under the spiked log. Linked killed the skulltula across the way while Solomon pushed the block so they could climb up the ledge to get to the door. In the next room Link lit two torches so they could exit. After making their way back to the room where they jumped down to Link pushed the block into the water. Solomon took a Deku stick, jumped across the way to light it and burned the spider way in the floor. They jumped down into a room that also had water in it.
"Enough with the falling down already" Solomon said.
When they climbed back up on dry land they had to solve a riddle set up by Deku scrubs. They solved it and went through the door. After walking through the small doorway they soon found themselves in a big room. They looked up and saw a monstrous creature staring back at them.
"So this is what's cursed the Great Deku Tree." Link said.
"Uh Link slingshot would be nice right now!" Solomon said.
Link shot Gohma in the eye several times while Solomon slashed him with his sword. After ten minutes of fighting Gohma finally was dead. They were suddenly transported back to the surface in front of the Deku Tree.
"Well done Link and Solomon. Thou hast verily demonstrated thy courage. I knew thou wouldst carry out my wishes. Now listen to me a wicked man in the desert put the curse on me. This man ceaselessly uses his vile sorcery in his search for the Sacred Realm that is connected with Hyrule. In the realm there lies the Triforce which contains the essence of the Gods. Thou must never allow the man in black man armor to lay his hands on the sacred Triforce. Because of this curse my time has ended. Though your efforts to break the curse were successful I was doomed before you started. Do not mourn for me young children. Go now to Hyrule Castle, there you will find the Princess of Destiny. Take this stone with you that that man wanted so much." The Great Deku Tree said before he passed on.
Solomon and Link were on the verge of tears when the Deku Tree spoke its last words.
"They're going to blame this on us" Solomon said.
"I guess we have no choice. Solomon we have to leave Kokiri forest." Link said.
"You're right. Let's go back to our houses and get whatever we can bring with us. I've managed to save up quite a bit of rupees" Solomon said.
After they gathered up their supplies they made their way to the exit.
As they were leaving they heard a voice.
"Oh you two are leaving." They both knew it was Saria.
They both walked up to her.
"I knew that you two would leave the forest one day. It was all a matter of time I suppose." Saria said.
"It's because you two are different than the rest of us. But it's okay because we'll always be friends right?" Saria said.
"Link, I want you to have this ocarina. I know you'll take good care of it" said Saria.
"Saria I can't take this, it's yours" Link said.
"No please Link take it. That way I'll always be with you no matter where you go" Saria said.
"And that way we can do ocarina duets. We could make some extra money that way." Solomon said while taking out his own ocarina. It was a wooden ocarina like Saria's but it was a double ocarina that he made.
Link looked back at Saria. "Saria thank you. I won't forget this." He said.
"I know you won't." Saria said.
As the two began to walk off she offered one last piece of advice.
"One more thing you two, please be careful" Saria said.
"Don't worry Saria. I have Link's back" Solomon said.
"Goodbye" Saria said.
"Don't worry Link. We'll come back someday" Solomon said.
