The sun was hot on my face as I ran. I could see Zelda sprinting fast ahead of me. I spotted Storm, her white horse, and they ran to each other. Shoot, she was going to win.
"Storm! Come here, boy!" She shouted. She gracefully leapt onto his back and they sped away. I called out to my horse,
"Epona! We have to win this!" I panted as we rode along the road until I spotted a small stable up ahead. That was our finish line. Zelda was waiting there, a playful laugh on her face. I raced up next to her, scowling.
"Hah! I knew I would win." She laughed at me. I just shook his head and kept trying to catch my breath.
"Best out of three?" I said, exasperated. She sighed.
"Just face it, Link. I'm a much better runner than you. Anyways, let's go back to the castle. I'm tired." She said, still looking triumphant. I nodded.
"Race you there! And this time I'll win!" I shouted as I sped away. She laughed and chased after me.
I always smile when I think of that happy memory. So much has changed since then. But if I want to tell my story, then I guess I'd better start at the beginning.
"Link, can you help Aryll pull up weeds in the back garden?" My father said while he sorted through files. "And when you're done, the pigs need feeding."' I nodded.
"Sure, dad." I tried my best to hide my scowl. It wasn't that I didn't like to help, it's just that I never got a second to relax.
"Link!" Aryll, my sister, shouted through the window. "Come help me!" I smiled and stepped outside to the back garden. Aryll was hunched over in the dirt, gripping a large weed. It was funny, seeing her tiny arms wrapped around a big plant. I rushed up to her and yanked the plant out of the ground. She fell backward, laughing.
"Come on Aryll, you need to do more pushups." I laughed and got down on the ground. She knew this routine. She hopped on my back and I did several pushups, listening to her laughter. I then remembered that we had a job to do.
"Okay, Linkie. We need to pull up more weeds, or daddy will get mad!" She hopped off my back and ran over to pull another weed. Little did I know that my life was just about to change.
