Legend of Link: Hyrule Overlord
Disclaimer: I don't own Overlord or the Legend of Zelda
Chapter 1: The Gauntlet
Long ago, in the kingdom of Hyrule surrounded by mountains and forests, there was a great evil that once ruled Hyrule with an Iron Fist. They call him the Overlord, not much is known about this Overlord but all they know is that he has terrible but great powers that even the 3 hylian goddesses would fear of. Many Kings of Hyrule sought and failed to end the Overlord's reign of terror, not even the powers of the Triforce is enough.
But then, when all hope is lost, the Overlord was finally defeated when a reigning King of Hyrule of that time ventured to the tower with his bravest of knights and fought against the tyrant and his army. The battle was intense, the entire populace of Hyrule feared for their lives from this climactic conflict. But eventually the battle ended, no one knows how but the Overlord was finally defeated, but with a cost of many brave men's lives. The powers of the Overlord are stripped away from the Dark Tower that lay empty with the outskirts of the Hylian Provence of Ordon, abandoned and forgotten from the years of neglect and the loss of its resident.
Hyrule lived in piece ever since, no source of evil has ever once tried to conquer Hyrule, no calamity caused on the peaceful villagers. No dangerous monsters terrorizing the lands, towns and villages, Hyrule has been at piece for so long…that it just makes your stomach turn and scream in rage out of the boredom of nothing interesting happening in this dull, boring kingdom.
But that peace was short-lived as the Dark Tower is active again and a new Overlord is crowned. Hyrule once again fell into the reign of the Overlords, but the Hyrule fights on once again. These incidents and conflicts continued for centuries, but it remains a stalemate because more Overlords rise after the last, and Hyrule will keep fighting this evil to preserve the peace on this kingdom.
But it has now been 20 years since an Overlord was heard again, the tower remains derelict and the whispers of evil is gone deaf to the ears of the citizens of Hyrule… peace has prospered once again.
But all that is about to change, for a new dark legend is about to unveil.
Link's house
Within the forest near the Ordon Village, a Tree House is found where a teenage Hylian named Link resides. Link is a quiet lad, not much of a talker but friendly to the villagers despite not living among them. He lives on his own, no parents or family members what so ever. He did once have an uncle, who was a retired Hylian knight who passed away but apart from that, Link is orphaned as long as he can remember.
Right now the blonde teenage Hylian is asleep, due to it being night until dawn slowly approaches to start a new day. But Link's nights are restless, as nightmares invade his thoughts. He has been getting these nightmares ever since he was a child. The dream foretells a dark figure standing before 3 golden triangles, on the back of his hand is glowing tattoo or birthmark that resembles one of those triangles, the birthmark/tattoo change to match the 3 triangles assemble together.
He can hear the cold, spine chilling laugh as he possesses the power radiating from these golden triangles.
And as always, Link wakes up from a cold sweat, just minutes earlier before the sun could even release its first light. The dreams are constant, always haunting him, he went to expects all across Hyrule for answers about these dreams, and was told of a prophesy of evil's return. But that's not all, he's also having nightmares of a being wearing a green tunic and armour, fighting a boar-like demon with a sceptre/trident.
Link sighs irritably as he is now rudely wide awake. He jumps out of bed to get a wash and get changed to get his day started.

KNOCK
"Hey Link, are you in here?"
"Huh?" said Link as he rushes down from his bedroom to answer his front door. He opens it to reveal human teenage girl around Link's age. Link was surprised to see her this early and just when the sun just rose to start a new dawn. "Hi Ilia, what are you doing up this early?"
"Morning Link, I'm up early to get you to the village." Said the girl known as Ilia, she is the daughter of the Mayor of Ordon. "I washed Epona for you, she's waiting outside"
Link looked over to see his Horse Epona standing idly with a bite in her mouth and a saddle on her back. He smiles at his horse and then at Ilia.
"Thank you, Ilia" said Link as he leaves his tree house and closes the door. "You wanna ride back to the village?"
Ilia only smiled at Link, to show that Link already knew the answer. Link and Ilia climb down the ladder of the tree house. Link climbed on his horse and help Ilia on her before he rides off to Ordon.
"Yah" exclaims Link to make Epona gallop to Ordon.
Epona gallops deep into the forest and follows the road that leads to Ordon, Ilia held on Link's waist by wrapping her arms around it. Link couldn't help but blush at this but focus on riding, Epona continues galloping casually to take her master to the village.
"So what does Mayor Bo want with me?" asked Link "Is it the goats again?"
"Not sure, he didn't give me the details" said Ilia "He just wants you for something, but I know that Rusl was talking to my dad before he asked me to get you."
"Hmm, must me discussing my training since Rusl taught me everything there is about being a soldier…" said Link "You think they're deciding to let me enlist for the Hyrule army?"
"Your guess is as good as mine" said Ilia, unknown to Link she is hiding her face behind his back, her expression shows reluctance and sadness. She doesn't really like the idea of Link leaving Ordon, but she understands why Rusl is training him. Link is the only Hylian in Ordon, and an orphan at that. Rusl is like a father figure to Link, teaching him, training him like a father would, despite the fact that Rusl already is a father himself. "We'll just have to find out when we get there"
Link nods at this and crack the reins to make Epona gallop faster.
Ordon Village
Link and Ilia arrives at Ordon village, it's a small simple village with only a small handful of villagers. But despite it's size, it is thriving and living peacefully. The villagers in Ordon are peaceful and friendly with Link, even if he isn't human he is part of the community.
Link halts Epona and dismounts off her while helping Ilia off also.
"Here we go," said Link as he helped Ilia dismount Epona, he takes a look around and sees no one out, not surprising since it's only the crack of dawn. "Let's go see the mayor"
"Right" said Ilia as she and Link walk towards Mayor Bo's house. It took them a few minutes as the house is on the other side of the village and by a pathway leading towards the goat ranch.
"LOOK OUT, RUNAWAY GOAT!"
Link and Ilia heard the warning and noticed a big goat charging down the path and towards Link, Link didn't move but plant his feet on the ground and prepares to wrestle the goat. He grabs hold onto the horns, wrestles with the goat and tosses it down to the ground, the Goat is defeated by Link and accepts defeat by returning to the ranch.
"Wow, you never cease to amaze me, Link"
Link turns to see the Mayor by his house door, he saw Link tackle that big goat down. Link bows at the Mayor, he is a big burly man, bald and has a moustache that resemble small tusks.
"Come on in, we need to talk" said Bo inviting Link while turning to his daughter. "Thank you, Ilia."
"You're welcome, daddy" said Ilia as she and Link go inside the house.
Bo and Ilia's house
Link and Ilia enters the mayor's house and notices Rusl sitting on the couch, drinking some tea. Rusl noticed Link coming in and stands up.
"Ah, Link" said Rusl greeting his student/apprentice. "Glad to see you at last. I was having a chat with the Mayor regarding something we want to discuss"
"And what is it?" said Link as he sits next to Rusl
"Link, last night Rusl was doing some scouting and spotted a small group of moblins on in the outskirts of Faron Woods." Said Mayor Bo as he plants his ass on his armchair. "We were discussing about what to do about it. I don't want the villagers panicking or bump into those foul creatures. Moblins are known for kidnapping children and selling them as slaves to outside kingdoms."
"Don't exaggerate, Mayor" said Rusl "I fought Moblins during back when I serve the Hylian army, despite being human of course. But there is one thing you're right about the Moblins, they are dangerous around the villagers."
"So what are we going to do if the Moblins get close to Ordon?" asked Link
"That won't happen, because you and Rusl are going to Faron Forest to hunt down those Moblins" said Mayor Bo
"I still don't think it's a good idea to send Link in a Moblin Hunt" said Rusl reluctantly. "Sure he's know how to use a sword, but he has a lot to learn. And he hasn't dealt with live targets before"
"Rusl, I can do this" said Link "I dealt with creatures all the time"
"These aren't runaway goats, mischievous monkeys or a keese swarm, Link" said Rusl warning the young Hylian. "Moblins are foul, aggressive war bred beasts that will not hesitate to kill you without a second thought"
"Rusl is right, Link" said Ilia, feeling a bit worried for Link about helping Rusl taking down Moblins. "You might get hurt or worse, killed by those beasts"
Link frowned and sighed at this before turning to everyone.
"But if I don't help Rusl, he might not take them all out and they'll come to the village and wreak havoc if not stopped" said Link "Ordon has done much for me, welcomed me as their when I lost my uncle…I can't repay their kindness, but I want to help protect their homes."
"I'm glad to hear that, not all Hylians would speak kindly to us human since there are rarely few who would accept us" said Bo.
"Hmm," grunts Rusl displeasingly at this but respect Link's decision. "Alright, we'll start our hunt at the evening, it's best to let the forest get dark to our advantage and Moblins are mostly nocturnal and wander in the dark. Meet me at the Faron Spring, Link. And bring your sword and shield with you, it's dangerous to go alone without a weapon."
"Right" said Link nodding at his mentor.
"Great, then I'll wish you two good luck" said Bo
Rusl and Link stood up and walk to the door to make their leave. Ilia is feeling a bit concerned for Link but Bo gave her some assurance with a pat on the shoulder.
"Don't worry about Link, he'll be fine" said Bo to his daughter. "Rusl will be with him"
Ilia reluctantly nods at her father and made her leave to do her chores.
Ordon Village
Link just left the Mayor's village and decides to head back home as there is nothing else to do, he heads back to Epona, who is calmly grazing and enjoying the company of the children in Ordon, especially with Colin, Rusl's son who is petting her and feeding her a few carrots.
Link smiles at this and greets the children.
Colin is a timid blond haired boy, not much confident than the other children. He is the only child of Rusl and his wife Uli…for now since Uli is pregnant.
The 2 brothers Malo and Talo, Talo is the eldest but irresponsible and the kind that gets in trouble a lot. Malo is the youngest but the wisest.
Beth is the only girl in the group and slightly older. She is the daughter of the owner of a local store called "Sera's sundries"
The kids look up to Link as a big brother figure, they like to hang out with him when he has the time for himself. Link is mostly busy helping around the village such as rounding up the goats, since the goats never listen to the local rancher and occasionally escape the ranch to wander off. And sometimes he has lessons with Rusl on swordsmanship.
"Hey Link, you're up early" said Talo.
"As are we" muttered Malo to his brother. "You woke up the moment Link arrived here"
Talo sweatdropped at his little brother but shrugged it off.
"So anyway, do you want to hang out, Link" said Talo
"Don't see why not" said Link shrugging his shoulders. "I have all morning"
"Yeah!" said Talo with excitement.
And so that's what Link for those free hours, hanging out with the children of Ordon, they would go fishing, sword practice outside Link's house or even bug catching. But today, Link scrounged up some rupees he found in vases and patches of grass and bought himself a slingshot. He and the kids go by his house to try it out. Link used some stone as ammo and starts shooting at training dummies and makeshift targets. Link's aim is accurate, as if he's done this before. Talo and Colin were gaping in awe, Beth turned around to hide her blush from Link's amazing shooting. Malo simply watches with mild admiration.
Link allowed the kids to have a turn on the slingshot, they weren't as good as Link, who did this on his first time. Many misses were made, and it frustrates them, well frustrates Talo mostly.
"Oh come on, how can that be a miss?" said Talo
"You aimed too high" muttered Malo casually.
"Shut up, Malo" said Talo while firing the slingshot at the target, he missed a few more times before hitting it. "Alright, got it"
Link only watches the kids play with the slingshot, each are taking turns, mostly Talo is hogging it and poor Colin barely got a turn himself. The kids are enjoying themselves on the slingshot that they didn't notice Rusl approaching them, Link noticed and gives his mentor a welcoming nod, Rusl nods in response. Eventually the kids noticed Rusl when Colin saw him first.
"Dad," said Colin as he rushes to his father.
"Hey Colin, how are ya?" said Rusl rustling his son's blond hair.
"Are you here to train Link?" said Talo rushing to Rusl
"That's right" said Rusl before he turns to Link. "Are you ready Link?"
Link nods at Rusl while his mentor gives him a training sword.
"Then let's go," said Rusl as he heads to Faron Woods.
"hey, can we come?" asked Talo
Rusl stops and turns to the children.
"Sorry, we can't take you" said Rusl "The forest is no place for children, there are dangers lurking in the dark woods. I don't want to get it from your parents when they find out that you were attacked by a flock of Keese, Zols or Octoroks"
"Aww" moaned the kids, but Colin understands as he the most sensible of the group, so is Malo but he keeps to himself. But they would remain by Link's house to play with his slingshot while Link and Rusl leave for Faron Woods.
Faron Woods
Link and Rusl crossed the bridge that leads to the woods and stops by the spring where they would train. Link waits for his mentor to start the lesson.
"alright, Link let us re-evaluate what you have learned, shall we?" said Rusl as he starts his lessons. "Show me your thrusts"
Link nods as he unsheathes his training sword and starts thrusting at Rusl, the sword is not sharp and pointed when Link thrusts at his mentor so he doesn't harm him. Link thrusts Rusl again and again while he deflects it with his own sword.
"Good, you know this technique well" said Rusl smiling at Link. "Now show me your horizontal slice"
Link obeys and starts swinging his sword horizontally at Rusl left and right, who blocks them against his own sword.
"very good, Link" said Rusl "Now, do vertical slice"
And that is what Link does, Link swings vertically upwards and downwards at Rusl.
"now diagonal slice" said Rusl
Link finished with his vertical slices and starts swinging diagonally like he is making criss-crosses with the sword. Rusl is quite impressed and decides to carry on.
"Good, good, you memorized and mastered the basic techniques, now to teach you the advanced techniques." Said Rusl as he twirls his sword. "Now pay attention, Link"
Rusl starts jumping forward and slams his sword down to the ground.
"This is the Jump attack, you use this when an enemy, mostly wielding a shield, staggers and his quard is pen." Said Rusl "Now for the next technique"
Rusl crouches low and held his sword in a slashing position before he spun his body and swings his sword in a full circle.
"The Spinning attack, useful when you're ambushed and surrounded" said Rusl "You can use it 3 times at once but no more than 3 or you'll get dizzy."
Link understands and nods at his mentor, so he started practicing those new techniques with Rusl by the spring. They trained until afternoon, they stopped for lunch before returning to train for one more hour. Link is getting good on the 2 new techniques, Rusl is impressed as always at his student.
"Good, very good," said Rusl "You're quite the fast learner, Link."
"Thank you, Rusl" said Link as he looks at his training sword. "It feels like that I already know these techniques."
"Well those sword techniques were developed by Hylians, and it's also in their blood to be adept warriors. Since they once fought against the Gerudo Bandits centuries ago." Said Rusl as he crosses his arms and frowned at the mention of the Gerudos. "But anyway, I think we should call it a day, we need to be fully rested for our mission to find and eliminate the Moglins. We'll meet here in the spring dusk, make sure to bring a lantern."
Link nods at Rusl, but he then realised that he doesn't have a lantern. And then he realised again, there is a merchant living in the woods who sell lanterns and oil. Link might go there to purchase a Lantern; he rummages through his pockets to see how much rupees he has left. Unfortunately, only a few greens and a blue (9 rupees). He might have to search for more in the tall grass and hopefully find small chest that contain yellow rupee (that worth 10 rupees each).
With enough rupees collected, Link headed to a small hut, where this merchant sells lanterns and oil. The merchant is a man around his 20s, he has a calm expression and a big brown afro some live birds nesting on it. He is sitting on a tree stump as a makeshift chair, making some soup. His house is a small but cozy cabin, he is enjoying his tranquil day and notices Link approaching him.
"Oh, an Ordonian. Welcome, man" said the merchant.
"Hi" said Link politely.
"Listen, I don't think you should be wandering around the forest without a lantern" said the merchant. "Just because it's daylight, doesn't mean it's safe."
"Which is why I am here to purchase a lantern" said Link as he presents his Rupees to the merchant.
"No need, man" said the Merchant as he is about to give Link a Lantern. "Please take it, it's free."
Link has obtained the Lantern!
"Thank you, but why are you giving me the lantern for free" said Link
"Well you see; I sell lantern oil" said the merchant. "I'm trying to drum up the sale by giving away free lanterns, it's a business tactic, man"
"Oh, I see" said Link as he looks at his EMPTY lantern. "Makes sense, so how much for the oil?"
"10 Rupees" said the merchant.
So Link gave the merchant a yellow Rupee for a jar of oil.
"Thank you, man" said the merchant "It's the same price for a refill"
Link understands, he fills up the lantern with oil and refills the jar with oil, before paying the merchant another yellow rupee of course.
"Thank you," said Link before he turns back for Ordon "I'll return if I ever need more oil"
"Sure thing, man" said the oil merchant waving Link goodbye. "Come back anytime"
So Link heads back to Ordon, then suddenly Link saw a monkey pass by and Talo chasing it.
"Talo?" said Link
"Come back with my sword!" exclaims Talo chasing the monkey.
Talo chases the monkey and heads into a nearby cave, Link decided to follow the boy and bring him back to Ordon. When Link reached the mouth of the cave, he saw Talo's toy sword, this doesn't look good in Link's eyes. Talo must be in trouble and possibly in danger. So Link venture on to find and rescue Talo.
The cave is long and dark, luckily there are stone braizers for Link to light on to help see in the cave. But that's not the only problem, the cave is infested with keeses and deku babas, the Deku baba's hang on the cave ceilings, snapping their heads at Link. Link unsheathes his sword, although blunt but it will be enough to deal with those carnivorous plants. Link aims at the Deku Baba's stems to decapitate them, but the heads would remain living and bounce toward Link to chomp him.
Link finishes off the Deku Baba heads with a jumping attack, sometimes a rupee or few would fall out for Link to collect. Link has to deal with more Deku Babas on the way to the other side of the cave, his mission to rescue Talo continues.
Faron Wood: North Section
The other side is at the northern section of Faron Woods, meaning that Link was at the Southern Section. But unlike the Southern Section, the Northern is more dangerous and no one ever goes here, especially children. Link feels unnerving in this section, the trees are darker, no birdsong is heard, dangerous creatures only lurk in this unpleasant part of the woods. But regardless of what this section is like, Link must go on to save Talo and return him to Ordon.
As Link ventures on, he notices that he is being watched by various beasts between the trees and darkness, the North Section has denser trees, and no much light is shown, especially in the mornings. Luckily Link has a Lantern and he turns it on to light the way.
"Talo!" Link calls out for the boy while he continues his search. "Talo, where are you?!"
"LINK!"
"Talo?" said Link as he thought he heard Talo's voice. He calls out again, "Talo!"
"I'm over here!"
Link followed Talo's voice. The Voice lead deep into the woods, Link fights off Deku Babas that ambush Link from the tall grass and bushes, a flock of Keeses dive down at the Blond Hylian. But Link fends them off with his training sword, he dodge rolls to evade the swooping Keeses, he fought through them until he has reached Talo.
Moglin Camp
Link has made it though the Deku Babas and the Keese swarm and reached where Talo is, he is a prisoner within a small camp of Moblins. The Moblins are hideous beasts, they are semi-sentient ugly pig-like monsters that will no show mercy to anyone, even children. They will either kill or sell you as slaves to even the worse races outside Hyrule. Right now, these Moblins has Talo and a monkey in their cage to be sold as slaves.
"Let me out, you creeps" said Talo rattling the cage bars
The Moblins only grunt and snort, they aren't the more sophisticated and their vocabulary is limited.
"Quiet, puny human!" a Moblin as he bang his spear at the cage, causing Talo to back off. "You make Moblin shiny rupee in Gerudo Market. Human make tasty Dodongo treat, too puny to be slave. Monkey will too, heh heh heh!"
Link frowned as he enters the camp, suddenly the moblins noticed Link and they all gang up on him. Link is surrounded by those foul ugly things, but he remembered something that Rusl taught him. He waited for the Moblins to get closer. He waits patiently for the right moment, they just grunt and snarl at Link with the intent to kill. The Moblins is now in range and Link made his first move, his use his spinning attack, and knocked them down.
The Moblins got back on his feet and charges at Link, but Link is ready for it to happen. Link used what he learned to take down the Moblins, who are trying to end Link's life. But Link is prepared for this, he blocks the Moblin's weapons with his sword and counteracts with a swing of his sword. Each swing is swift, the Moblins aren't strong as he expected them to be. Link smiles as he easily faces off those ugly bastards. Talo is watching every minute of this, his eyes sparkle with awe, he starts cheering to Link while he fights off the moblins.
"Go get 'em, Link!" yelled Talo, cheering to Link.
Suddenly the ground rumbles, the remaining Moblins halt their assault on Link when a huge hulking Moblin bursts though the camp wall. He is 2 times bigger than the other Moblins, bulkier and thrice as ugly. But what's strange about this Moblin, despite its size, is that it looked possessed, his eyes are dull and lifeless, he radiates in a cold dark malevolent aura and he is only wearing a Gauntlet that is only wearable to those with 5 fingers (Moblins only have four). This Moblin roars savagely as he charges at Link and the other Moblins, those poor ugly things never stood a change as they failed to evade the giant Moblin's mindless charge. The aura starts to thicken, the power grows even strong but the moblin's body is slowly starting to break as blood seeps out from his mouth, nostrils and tear ducts.
But Link just focuses on the battle, but the sensation from aura coating this big Moblin is distracting, not only can he feel it, it's alluring him. He turns his attention to the gauntlet that is forcefully in the brute's hand, black vein bind around the forearm, as if it's alive and merging with the Moblin. Suddenly the possessed giant moblin charges at Link, Link noticed and jump back to evade the attack.
CRASH!
The giant Moblin crashes into a tree, his tusks lodged in the trunk. Link rushes to make his move. He might have an idea on how to defeat this monster. He swings at his training sword and attempts to amputate the gauntlet off. He swings his training sword at the Moblin's arm, his sword isn't sharp but can do damage, but right now Link only broke through the skin and the Moblin managed to break free. Link jumps back to evade the brute's swinging arms.
"Damn it" muttered Link as his eyes fixate on the gauntlet, why does it feel important to him. He doesn't know but something inside him is telling him to claim it.
The Moblin snorts and grunts at Link, he charges again, Link dodges again and watches it crash again. Now stuck again, Link charges to try to amputate the gauntlet, he starts hacking repeartedly until the tendons and muscles are severed. However it is not completely amputated as the bone remains. But the Moblin broke free again. The giant moblin crouches on all three (his other arm is no longer functioning since Link has severed the muscles.) it roars at Link and charges at him. Link smiles as he is about to end his. He waits for the beast to charge and dodge it, he did and waits for the Moblin to crash into another tree and get stuck. But then to his surprise, the giant Moblin stops the moment it approaches the tree and skids around to charge at Link again.
Startled at this, Link didn't have time to dodge the second charge and got hit by the beast's tusks.
"Agh!" screams Link as his side is impaled by the Moblin's tuck and got tossed aside, crashing into a tree.
"Link!" shouts Talo with concern.
Link groans in pain and held his wound, the wound is bad as blood continues to flow out from the gash on his side. He looks ahead to see the Moblin preparing to charge, if that beast charges at him again he is finished. Link slowly gets up on his feet, his hand wielding his training sword while his other held his bleeding side. The pain is too much for the young Hylian but he has to fight on, for Talo's sake.
The young boy is getting more worried for Link and guilt is filling his head, it's his fault for getting caught and his fault that Link is badly hurt. He must do something, then he realised that he still has Link's slingshot he borrowed. Then an idea popped in his head.
"Link!" yells Talo throwing Link his slingshot.
Link noticed the Slingshot reaches out to grab it, he takes a stone and aims the slingshot at the now charging giant Moblin. Link waits for the right moment, the Moblin has to get closer.
Talo's heat is at his throat now, the beast is getting dangerously close to Link, but suddenly Link fired the slingshot right between the beast's eyes and blinds it. Now blind, the Moblin is about to crash into Link and a nearby tree, but Link jumps away in time.
CRASH!
The beast crashes into the tree, but it that's not all. The exposed bone on the Moblin's arm snaps and amputates the gauntlet off. The Giant Moblin suddenly starts to roar in pain and slowly decompose into nothing but bones, such a sight at you never want to see when flesh starts melting off. Poor Talo as to cover his eyes to prevent seeing this since this isn't a child should see, Link however watches. He doesn't know why but he has a twinge of satisfaction by watching this beast rot away. The decomposition lasts for 20 minutes until there is nothing but a giant skeleton. Link now turns his attention to the gauntlet, it calls to him, whispers his very mind and soul. He slowly approaches it due to the pain from his wound, the closer he gets to it the louder the whispers in his head.
"Wear me, wear me and fulfil your destiny" it whispers to him. "I can heal you, make you stronger. You will have no equal and everything you ever desired will be yours."
Of course, even if Link couldn't hear these whispers, he would take it anyway as a trophy of his victory. He picks up the gauntlet and tries it on, a pure of energy shudders in his skin, he can feel the wound close up and the blooding ends.
Link has obtained a Mysterious Gauntlet; he can feel a dark but wonderful power coursing through him.
Suddenly a chest appears in front of the giant Moblin skeleton, Link approaches it and opens it up.
Link has Obtained a Heart Container!
Link has dealt with the threat, now to set free Talo and the monkey, Link broke the bars with his sword and helped Talo get out. Talo is relieved that Link is here to save him, but he also feels a bit guilty.
"Thank you for saving me, Link" said Talo looking down out of guilt. "Sorry that you gotten yourself hurt because of me."
Link just smiled at Talo and ruffled his hear.
"It's okay, Talo" said Link "At least you're safe"
Talo gave Link a smile as he feels a bit better.
"Now let's go home" said Link as he pulls out a piece of horse-grass and blows it. The sound echoes in the wind, such a beautiful sound the horse-grass makes while Link plays a certain tune. When the tune is finished, a familiar neigh is heard when Epona gallops to approach her master. Link gives his horse a pat on the head while puts Talo and himself on the saddle. "Onward to Ordon, Epona"
Southern Faron Forest
Link returns to the south section of Faron Forest with Talo and Epona. They stop by the spring so Epona can rest and soak her hooves on the cool water, Link dismounts off his horse and help Talo off also. Talo still feels guilty over what happened earlier and look down in shame.
"I'm still sorry for what happened, Link" said Talo with his head down. "I didn't mean to get caught, that monkey was being cheeky and stole my toy sword."
"Like I said, it's okay Talo" said Link "You best head back home, you had enough excitement for today."
"Yeah, I have" said Talo before he turns away and head back home. "Later, Link."
Link nods at the leaving boy and turns to tend to Epona. The horse is drinking from the spring to quench her thirst, Link decided to have a drink also and move close to the spring waterfalls to cup some water in his hands, he takes a few gulps of water from the waterfall and sighed in relief, that fight against the Moblins sure do make this Hylian thirsty. While he drinks more from the waterfall, he noticed something glowing behind the waterfall, he reaches out with his gauntlet clad hand to inspect it and pull it out.
Link has obtained a mysterious rune stone! It's radiating in magic but it's presence feels…evil!
Link takes a look of this rune-stone, the rune itself that is carved in ancient Hylian, dating back when Hyrule was at war. It is illiterate as this form of writing is forever lost in time, but to Link he can read it. To him, the runes translate "Evil Presence", but what is its purpose?
"Hey Link!"
Link heard Rusl approaching the Spring, he'll figure out what this rune stone is later and pockets it before welcoming Rusl.
"I heard what happened with Talo, poor lad confessed to his parent as he felt guilty of you getting hurt" said Rusl as he approaches Link. "So I came to tend to your wounds"
"No need, I don't need healing" said Link as he showed Rusl where the wound was. "The wound itself vanished minutes later."
"Extrordinary," said Rusl surprised as he saw this, he did notice that Link was hurt from the tear and blood stains on his shirt but sees no signs of trauma or scarring on the Hylian's body. "I never thought you would heal that fast, no Hylians could heal that fast without potions. Anyway, the Mayor wants us to start the hunt right now when Talo told us about his capture by the Moblins. We can't delay any further"
Links nods this, those Moblins are a threat to the community if left alone.
"Here, you might need this" said Rusl as he presents Link a sword and shield. "You might need something more sharp than a training sword.
Link has obtained the Ordon Sword and Shield!
"Thank you, Rusl" said Link as he straps his sword on his hip and his shield on his back.
Rusl nods at this and starts to leave the spring.
"We'll go by foot, we can't afford to scare off the Moblins if we go on horseback," said Rusl as he pat Epona's back. "and I think Epona here deserve a little rest"
Right" said Link as he follows Rusl and leave the springs to start their new quest: Moblin Hunting. The gauntlet in his left hand glows dimly with malevolent energy, as if it's reacting to something just like the Rune Stone. But what could it react to?

A/N: Hello everyone, Yinshadow here and I hope you like this first chapter of this Loz/Overlord crossover. The beginning is based on Twilight Princess but the story is not completely based in it, there will be other versions mixed in it but the Twilight Princess version is the main part of the story. I want to thank PhazonLordKaito for the idea (note to PhazonLordKaito: Sorry for the delay, I was very busy with job searching and caught a cold that stopped me writing.). Anyway, please review, like and share me your ideas and suggestions that might help.
But until then, have a nice day.
Ja ne!
