Hyrule

Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda.

Many people tell me how confusing the first edition of the first story is. Especially with the first few chapters acting like a video game that you have no control over. There were a lot of plot holes, and nobody really likes those, except me in comic stories; like Bob and George. So let me oblige you with this second edition of the story with more info. I hope you enjoy it. Go back to the first edition to see how miraculously stupid I was.

Hyrule market was bustling with activity, it always was, but it being such a great day everyone wanted to make it to the market to buy things before anyone else. On the balcony of the Bombcu Bowling sat Link, his left foot dangling over the edge of the balcony and a twig in his mouth. On such a hot day his green hat was off and twirling around on his left hand finger. His bright blond hair glowing like the sun and getting ever so longer that the bangs were nearly covering his eyes.

Link laid his hat next to him and nibbled his thumb looking around at all the bustling people, so joyful in their activity. They don't even know I saved their lives once, he mused. No one knew about it except for Zelda and himself. Of course Zelda couldn't remember much of the details but she did remember who he was when he came back to see her. He glanced up next to the Happy Mask Shop towards the steps leading towards the church. No one else knew it, but the church was actually the Temple of Time and the Master Sword lay hidden in side of it. Link sighed, oh how he missed that wonderful blade. He was about the age he is now when he got it.

Link sighed and stood up, sweeping up his hat and forced it over his busy hair; pushing his bangs down to cover his eyes. He grunted and tucked his bangs under his hat and started down the stares into the main market. Tucking his hands behind his back he took large steps while whistling a tune he always heard his friend Saria sing. A chicken suddenly flew by making him nearly lose his footing; he quickly caught himself and jumped aside as a girl in an apron ran by. He laughed and quickly backed away from the busy plaza. He defiantly didn't want to be killed by a running chicken or a little girl. Link sank back in to the alleyways into a new pub.

It wasn't the first time Link had been to the pub, it was getting popular, especially for the men, giving them a place to relax and have a beer. Of course, in till their wives start looking for them. Link laughed to himself as he sat down, swearing that he would never get married. He ordered a beer and started to gulp it down, savoring the taste.

Outside the pub…

Her quiet step scared her as well as everyone else. Sometimes she had to make sure she was actually walking or her feet were there. She almost laughed at her foolishness but quickly slapped herself for it instead. She shouldn't be acting so foolish. She should pay attention to her master's orders instead; her mission. She silently opened the door, by accident, even when she knew there was a bell. The door tapped the door and the bartender glanced up from his conversation and waved at her.

"Come on in Michelle, take a seat!" the bartender yelled, his bright smile and husky voice making her smile. She couldn't help but smile, his kindness made her. Michelle silently walked in and took a seat at the counter while the bartender handed her a glass of Lon Lon Milk.

Michelle smiled again and took the glass. "Thank you." She said softly, fingering the glass and taking a sip. The taste soothed her and she relaxed, she didn't have to tense so much from this mission. She had nothing to worry about. Sometimes she thought the Lon Lon Milk was magical because of the things it did for her. She sighed like a weight was taken off her shoulders and twirled around on the stool. The took a sip as she surveyed her surroundings.

The pub was the same as before. Lanterns lined the wall leading up the staircase, candles burned brightly in the middle of every table. Open Lanterns hung from the ceiling to provide more light even from the two windows next to the entrance. About eight bearded men sat at a different table, some in pairs. Michelle smiled as the men noticed her watching and waved shyly at them, they waved back, there hands swaying about from the alcohol.

Michelle giggled then stopped as she saw a lone man sitting nearby in the corner by the window to the left of the door. His beer glass was empty and he was busy counting his rupees to see if he had enough to buy another. She smiled and tapped the counter to catch the bartender's attention. She bought a beer with her own rupees, slipped of the stool, and started to silently walk towards the young blond haired man.

The thud of the glass onto the sturdy wood table made his head shoot up from his rupees. "Want a drink?" Michelle asked, sliding the full beer glass over next to his empty one. He hesitated for a second; almost gawking at her, and then politely took the beer. She smiled at this and took a seat opposite him. "Name's Michelle, you?" she asked softly, her head rested in the palm over her hand. If her master saw her like this, what would he possibly say? She almost smiled at the thought, but thought otherwise.

He looked up from his beer, quickly swallowing it down to answer. "Um… My name's Link." He answered shyly, picking up his green hat that sat on the table and pulling it over his hair.

Michelle nearly gasped but covered her mouth. "Oh really…" she giggled to contain her surprise. "Funny name." she quickly replied.

Link blinked. "I guess it kind of is. Are you okay?" he asked, noticing her eyes wondering around like she was frightened.

Michelle quickly shook her head to focus and slipped off the chair. "Oh its nothing." She answered and walked towards the door to leave.

"I'll see you again?" Link stammered, still clutching his beer.

Michelle stopped and felt her hand start twitching but quickly hid it. "Oh yes, in such a small world that Hyrule is, I'm sure we will." She answered, not looking at him. "Sooner then you think." She murmured under her breath and slipped out the door.

Hope you enjoyed it!
