1. PROLOGUE

Oh would you look at this

So I've started writing another something! (I would have posted it earlier but computer issues were going down.) But everything is alright now aaaaand here is the prologue. I have a bit to revise before I can post more buuuut I will try to post at least once, if not twice, a week.

This story has been/is fun to write and I hope those reading will like it, and feedback would be so nice.

PROLOGUE

A long time ago, many thousands of years ago, the goddesses created humans. Some of those humans had a special connection with the gods;. Those people still exist. They are called Hylians. One Hylian in particular was a legend. His name was Link, and his exploits are legendary, even mythical. He was a hero: the first hero, in fact. He was chosen by the goddesses to rid the world of evil so that the humans, plagued by monsters and fear, could live in peace. Some legends say that he was chosen because of his immense courage; others say that the goddesses themselves gave him that power when he was born. Whatever the case is, he certainly did not fail as a hero.

But special as he was, he was not immortal and he died, but not before leaving a son who would become the next hero. His son Link was as great as he was, and he defeated the Demon Thief Ganondorf, who was rising to power for the first time (and certainly not the last).

Every time Ganondorf was slain, the evil presence felt throughout the world diminished until he rose again. Then, the descendants of Link, the first hero, would take him down again and again.

Then one of the Links decided not to name his son after the first hero. His son was the first of this line to have a different name. This had a profound effect on his son's heroics, who was the first to fail in causing the downfall of the enemy. Everyone was ashamed of the ancient line that had been so revered for the past few thousand years.

But he was not killed in the battle with Ganondorf. He was an excellent soldier, trained by his hero father, yet he barely escaped with his life, and upon returning home as a failure, was exiled into the Lost Woods, along with his wife.

He knew he would have a son, and he knew he would name him Link to restore credibility to the family name, influenced by the belief that the name was blessed. His son, he believed, will correct all of his wrongdoings and failures and will be the greatest of heroes since the first.

Needless to say, this is his son's story.
