Chapter One: Witnessing the Opposites.
"I'm sorry Link, all this was my fault." The princess cried as she and Link stood in the clouds. "I was a foolish child, because of me you lost your childhood, now I'm going to fix it." She said reaching out for something, "Link please let me have the ocarina of time back." She asked. "Zelda…" Link said his eyes darkening with sorrow. "I'll send you back to when you where a child, before any of this happened and I won't bother you any longer." Zelda whispered. Link tried to contain the urge to tell Zelda he never wanted to forget her, ever… because he loved her, he always had. "Zelda… please, if you must take me back in time, not before I met you… not before that…" He whispered. Zelda smiled. Was it possible he had feelings for her as well? She knew that Link was the one person she would do anything to be with, anything to make him happy, even if it meant staying out of his life. Now he was asking, almost begging her, not to forget him. She smiled. No, you're right… the dangers are over now lets just live life like we were supposed to…
2 Years Later
Link looked at the pale sky and sighed, things had defiantly calmed down since Gannon's defeat. The grass tickled his skin and the wind blew his blond hair in a whirlwind. He looked to his side. The princess sat in the courtyard as well, making flower chains. Bored he stood and looked around. It was such a beautiful day, sun shining bright, and sky rolling with large clouds of cotton. A beautiful princess sitting in the grass… he and Zelda had remained great friends after the hardships …he couldn't ask for more. He sung his sword, stretching the muscles in his arms when the wind grew cold. Link looked around confused. The sky darkened, the sun dimmed and Link felt chills run up and down his spine like a Yo-yo.
"Do you want some real practice with that thing?" a voice sounded from behind him. Zelda squeaked as she looked up. There stood a spitting image of Link. Kind of transparent he was, no real color to him at all except light hazes of blacks and grays. He looked, like…. Well… a shadow. He floated above her head with a malicious smile on his face. Then it donned on Zelda. "Shadow Link?" She asked. Link nodded angrily, sword gripped tightly in his hand, his knuckles white with stress.
"What do you want shadow?" he bellowed griping his sword harder.
"Well you see…" The shadow began. "Gannondorf escaped from that little confinement you guys had going on." He smiled. "He offered me the most wonderful promotion." Link looked at him in wonder and disgust. Gannon was free… and this time Link had a feeling he was a lot stronger. "So… in any case…" The shadow started. "I'll be snagging that hotty of princess over there." He smirked. "WHAT?" the princess asked in bewilderment. "You WILL not talk to her like that!!" Link yelled and jumped into the air to slice the shadow. He missed, as the shadow grew closer to Zelda. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
"LINK!!" Zelda screamed beating the shadow with her fists and kicking. Link charged again. The shadow moved swiftly out of harms way. "You want to stop this petty rivalry? Want to finish this fight? Meet me at the water temple if you want to save this gorgeous princess… if not… I can make her feel right at home…" he gave the princess a lustful look. Link's anger boiled. "LINK!" The princess screamed again. "Don't worry princess! I'm coming!" he yelled as the shadow flew away with a screaming princess in toe.
