Princess Zelda awoke with a start, her nightmare of creeping darkness trembling in her mind. As she got up from her bed, Impa, her most faithful General, came to her side.
"Princess, has something troubled you?" Impa asked her.
"Impa, I just had a nightmare, more like a vision. I think it's time we sought him out." Zelda said.
"Our new fated hero? Are you sure?" Impa asked. Impa had been very loyal to her ruler, and she knew her worries. For her to talk about the fated hero… well, it meant dark times were coming.
As the two came to the training yard, they saw the trainees hard at work, practicing sword combat against one another. One soldier in particular showing the most promise as he defeated several soldiers who tried to attack him. To many, this was a familiar face. However, there is also another who is there. Standing near this Trainee was another, skilled in the use of a spear. He was a man in purple armor with a leopard decorated helmet. "Soldiers, I shall prove my worth here and defend the kingdom for years to come!" he proclaimed as he defeated the soldier he was training with.
"Those two… they're very interesting." Zelda said.
"The purple one is a wanderer who came to our castle months ago. The blond one is a soldier who has been training for years. That one goes by the name Link I believe." Impa explained.
"Link?" Zelda asked as the name went through her mind. "Why does that name…" she started before a soldier approached them. "Captain! Princess! We have trouble! A large army of monsters is approaching the castle!" the soldier said.
"Prepare the troops for battle! Get the trainees and that wanderer inside, now!" Impa said.
Outside the castle, dozens of dark monsters marched in formation alongside a wizard and knight with dragon armor. Just then, another castle showed up, and this one was Dragnor.
"So, it appears some of our allies have already decided to make a move, have they? Prepare a battalion and have Dragonite lead it for now." Drake commanded. "Show no mercy, and prove Hyrule and these Dark forces who really is the strongest out there!"
"Of course, Lord Drake." Blade said with a bow before leaving the room.
Later, as the others were battling away, Link stood as he saw two soldiers conversing. Then, as he pondered what to do next, the wanderer with the spear came up to him, and he was not alone. Next to him was a man in robes with a sword and on his face was a crossed scar.
"If you are considering fighting out there as well, then you best carry this." the wanderer said holding out a sword and shield.
Link nodded, and took both, slinging them over his back. "Before we go into glorious battle for honor, can I ask your name, red-hair?"
"Kenshin Himura." he said.
"Well, Kenshin. I believe its time we went out there and fought these monsters." the wanderer said as they three approached the gates.
