Summary: Hyrule has many secrets and the people that live there have many secrets themselves. Gannon finds out one of Link's secrets.

NOTE: In this story I am changing the storyline of "The Ocarina of time" story. Since this is a fanfiction I can manipulate it anyway I like and I think the whole story will be very, not in a bad way mind you but the storyline will definitely will be different. There will not be any yaoi in this story but I promise you that even a fellow fangirl will like it because I have some surprises in store. Also I must tell you that the layout of Hyrule will be like the one in "Ocarina of time" but some things may be changed like some houses and buildings of course.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Zelda or any of the character in the games and I write these stories for FREE for all to read.

READ, ENJOY AND PLEASE REVIEW.

Secrets of Hyrule

Ch. 1

The story begins in a little Village called Kakariko Village. There lived many different kinds of people and also a boy named Link. He is 17 years old and lives in the Inn there. He never spoke much and when he did, it was only a whisper so no one never really heard his voice. There was only one person to ever hear his voice and her name is Saria. She is a child that lives in the Kikiri Village. In that village there are only children who never age or change physically. It is also well protected from most outsiders accept for Link. He spent most of his time entering archery contests to earn money, along with working on Lon Lon Ranch for Talon and his daughter Malon. He helped with the cows and horses and he especially liked delivering milk to the castle.

It was a beautiful morning and Link headed for Lon Lon Ranch as usual for work just as the sun was rising. He milked all the cows and after that he was to deliver it to the castle.

MEANWHILE

At Hyrule castle Gannon had arrived at the castle a few days earlier and was staying there. He was visiting on business with the King to discuss a treaty between his people, the Garudos and the Hylians. That very same morning, Gannon was eating breakfast with the King on his balcony in the back of the castle and as they as they discussed.

Gannon Sat at the round table across from the Hylian King.

"Gannon, first off I would like to tell you that I appreciate you coming here to discuss this treaty with me. However I feel bad that you call me "your highness". Please let's discuss this like friends and call me Arthur." The King said smiling at Gannon.

Gannon nodded and smiled. "Your... Arthur, you mentioned in your letter to me that you had a proposal for this treaty of yours."

King Arthur nodded. "Let's face it, I'm not getting any younger and in fact I'm getting older, and I'll need someone to take over for me one day."

Little did they know but Princess Zelda was eaves dropping in the room hiding behind a curtain in her dad's room.

Gannon leaned back, suddenly losing his appetite. "What do you propose?"

Arthur looked Gannon in the eye. "I propose that you marry my daughter. It was Zelda's Idea of course. She really likes you a lot but it is entirely up to you."

Gannon shakes his head. "As much as I like Zelda and as far as I know, she is a sweet girl but if I am going to marry anyone, it will be for love. I'm sorry; you'll have to forgive me."

Arthur only nodded and smiled in an understanding way.

Zelda frowned at hearing that. Then she quietly snuck out of the room.

Gannon then pulled out a scroll and handed it to the king. The King then took it and read it. "I see you have everything in order here."

Gannon nodded taking a sip of orange juice in a glass goblet. "This will only be temporary until we can make a more permanent treaty of course."

The King nodded and then signed the treaty and afterwards Gannon headed out the room and as soon as he stepped out of the room, he saw Zelda standing there looking up at him.

"Did my dad give you his proposal?" She asked him sweetly.

Gannon knew then that it was true that it really was her idea after all . "Yes and I regrettably turned him down." He said and then slipped past her and began to walk away.

This made Zelda Angry. "Why!? Why did you turn him down when you could be a great King of all of Hyrule!" She said angrily.

Gannon stopped and turned around then looked her in the eyes. "Simple… I don't love you Princess Zelda. He then turned around and left.

Zelda then ran to her room crying her eyes out.

Gannon then headed to the kitchen of the castle because he was hungry and he enjoyed the company of commoners as well as people of royalty. He often visited the kitchen on his visits the castle. He could be away from Zelda there for she would bother him if he were somewhere else in the castle. The two head chefs there knew Gannon well. As soon as he walked in they all greeted him.

Susan was one of the head chefs. She smiled at Gannon and then set him up a spot at a table by the wall. He sat down at the table.

"Hello your highness and what would you like to eat today?" Susan asked, smiling.

Gannon smiled. "Please, I have told you, call me Gannon."

Susan blushed. "Alright" and she giggled. "What would you like to eat Gannon?" She says to him and winks.

Gannon smiles. "I would LOVE one of your wonderful chicken sandwiches."

She Smiles and nods and just as she was walking past the door in the kitchen leading outside Link opened the door and then drug in a large crate that read "Lon Lon Milk" on the side of it.

Susan sees Link. "Oh Link! I have been expecting you this morning but can you please sit at the table while I fix his highness a sandwich?"

Link looked over at Gannon confused for he had never seen Gannon before but and then he sat down at the table to quietly wait.

Susan then went off to fix the sandwich for Gannon. The other head chef Ralph was nearby cooking a soup for King Arthur and Zelda for lunch. Gannon looks at Link.

"You must work at the Lon Lon Ranch for Talon." Gannon said to him.

Link only nodded.

"Do you get paid well?" Gannon asked.

Link shrugged not saying a word. He then looked to the ground very shyly.

"It's alright that you don't talk much." Gannon said with a smile.

Susan had just come back to Gannon with the sandwich she had made him.

"Link never talks, but he may let out a whisper every now and then. I'm not sure why he never does but I've known him since he was a little lad." Susan said smiling at Link. "Here is the money for the milk and some lunch for you while you're at work." She said handing him both.

Link only smiled and nodded his head as if it were his way of saying thank you. He then got up and left.

Gannon watched Link leave and then looked at Susan. "You know I can't put my finger on it but he looks a lot like someone else I know but I can't put my finger on whom." He said looking at his sandwich.

He took a big bite of the sandwich and after washing it down with some beer that Susan had brought him, he looks at her. "If you don't mind me asking, why is it that Link never speaks?"

Susan figured it was alright to sit at the table and she looked at Gannon kind of nervously. "Truth is….. He hasn't ever spoken since he came to Hyrule."

Gannon looked at her confused. "What do you mean by "Since he came to Hyrule"?"

Susan then got closer to him and in kind of a low voice she spoke. "I mean that when he was about 7 years old, he showed up with a young lady. I really shouldn't be telling you this… please don't tell anyone that I told you."

Gannon just shrugged. "Don't worry.. I won't, you um.. just get back to work." He then finished eating.

Ok that's the end of Chapter one. Please Review and tell me what you thought.
