Author's note: I decided to do a Link x DarkLink fanfic. I'm a huge fan of Legend of Zelda so I'd like to pay tribute to it.

This will take place in ocarina of time, where Gannondorf made Dark Link to become Link's partner and earn his trust so he could kill him later. This is going to be pretty long as it bleeds into other games such as Majora's mask. Navi isn't here because… Well, why should Navi be here? She's fucking annoying.

Link isn't ten, he's 19. He will stay that age, when he goes back in time he doesn't reverse his age.

This is rated M for coarse language and mature themes aka: swearing and yoai. That isn't to say that there's not plot, it's more story intensive than romance. So if you're not into that kind of thing, it's okay

This is my second fanfic. Although I try very hard to make the best quality work, there may be mistakes. Please use constructive criticism, I really appreciate it.

Disclaimer: I don't own The Legend of Zelda, I only own all the games. I definitely don't own the quotes from the Great Deku tree, those are directly from the game and aren't my making.

Please enjoy, DangoGonzo

Chapter 1: A twist in fate

The Great Deku tree, guardian of the kokiri, was dying. He knew he didn't have much time, that Gerudo was the cause of this.

Yet another leaf was sucked dry of it's color.

The tree groaned in agony "Navi…Navi, where art thou?"

Navi appeared in front of the Great Deku tree.

"Come hither… Oh Navi the fairy... Listen to my words, the words of the Deku Tree... 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 evil power, even my power is as nothing... It seems the time has come for the boy without a fairy to begin his journey... The youth whose destiny it is to lead Hyrule to the path of justice and truth... Navi...go now! Find our young friend and guide him to me... I do not have much time left. Fly, Navi, fly! The fate of the forest, nay, the world, depends upon thee!"

Navi nodded and head off to awaken the hero of time. Little did she know that there was someone waiting for her down the natural hall. He grabbed her in his hand, then crushed her. She shattered into a thousand shards of light. The figure chuckled "Hero of time, I'm coming for you"

…..

Dark, son of Gannondorf, killer of heroes, destroyer of towns, was faced with an impossible task: Awakening an incredibly lazy boy. He had tried everything! Yelling at him, pouring water on his face and even jabbing him in the ribs. Nothing worked, Dark sighed. How could the fate of Hyrule rest in the hands of such a lazy boy, was this really him? Link stirred in his sleep, he shivered as he twisted and turned in bed. His bangs covered his face, Dark brushed them aside. He looked adorable, fighting his inner turmoil sure made him cute. Dark sighed, he raised his hand and came down on Link's cheek. The sound made by the slap resounded throughout the room.

Link woke up "Ow!" he exclaimed as he rubbed the angry red mark left on his cheek. He saw Dark standing beside his bed, grinning with his sharp set of teeth. Link froze, he prepared a Deku nut under his covers "Who are you?" he asked testily. Dark cleared his throat

"I have been sent by the great Deku tree to fetch you. I'm going to be your partner from now on. My name's Dark" he reached out his hand. Link unwillingly took his hand. Dark tightened his grip on Link's hand and yanked him out of bed, Link stood an inch away from his face.

Link blushed slightly then moved away "Why does he want me?"

Dark chuckled "I'll allow him to answer that. Come on, let's go"

He jumped off the ledge and performed the perfect landing. The Kokiri in front of Dark ran away in fright. Dark motioned for him to hurry up. Link carefully took his time climbing down the ladder, at a Dodongo's pace. Watching him was pure agony for Dark, but he was required to put up with it.

At last, Link got down. "Took you long enough" Dark told him annoyingly "Come on, let's go"

They strolled along the path to The Great Deku tree in silence, Link didn't know whether Dark was to be trusted. He just appeared from nowhere, slapped him in the face, and looks like his doppelganger. He wore the same tunic and hat in black, it accented the pale tones on his face. His hair was coloured with pigments of the darkest night. Link scrutinized Dark in every way, but found no wrong with him. Perhaps he just appeared evil, looks can be deceiving.

They arrived at the entrance to The Great Deku tree. Dark tried to move forwards, but was blocked by a Kokiri. "I won't let you pass without paying the toll. Ten rupees please" he demanded, holding out his hand. Insolent brat, how dare he ask for money from him, he was the Prince of Shadows. Link rummaged through his pockets "Mido, this is unfair. I'm on important business" Link complained as he attempted to produce two blue rupees. Dark had enough of this brat, he drew his dagger and held it to Mido's throat. "Move brat, or face the consequences" Dark hissed as he pressed the dagger closer to Mido's flesh. Blood beaded down his throat as the blade dug deeper "F-fine" Mido managed to gasp. Dark smirked "Well chosen brat" as he pushed him aside. When Dark's back was turned, Link threw him a red rupee.

Together, they approached The Great Deku tree. He cracked his eyelid open to see them. "Oh... Navi... Thou hast returned... Link... Welcome... Listen carefully to 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... Verily, 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 courage enough to undertake this task?" The Deku tree asked.

Link kneeled before him "I accept, O Great Deku tree"

"Then enter brave hero"

He opened his enormous mouth

Blue rupee = 5 rupees

Red rupee = 20 rupees
