Malon's Mournful Melody: A Legend of Zelda Fanfiction
Authors note: I decided to do this fanfiction for Malon who isn't in Twilight Princess sadly. All you can hear is her melody haunting Hyrule Field at nighttime. It is going to start with Ocarina of time but will suddenly jump to Twilight Princess. So, none of this is going to make much sense. Please enjoy and don't forget to R&R! Thank you
It was another ordinary day for Malon. She was busy humming away in the castle's town square waiting for her father to return from delivering Milk to the castle. She noticed a strange looking boy come up to her. He had a green tunic, hat, with brown boots and a fairy floating above him.
"Umm, excuse me where is the castle?" he asked. Malon smiled and pointed down the road behind her.
"Oh! Thank you!" the boy said. She watched him leave then she continued humming as she waited some more. It grew dark so she decided to go and see if she could find him. She saw that the gates were closed and she knew the guards wouldn't let her pass with how young she was.
I'll just wait out here until he comes back Malon thought. She waited until morning came and she saw the fairy boy again.
"Oh it's you again Fairy boy," Malon said.
"Have you seen my father?" she asked. The fairy boy nodded.
"Is that who was sleeping? Do you know anything that will wake him up?" he asked. Malon thought about it then nodded.
"I've been incubating this egg very carefully. Once it hatches hold it right over him and when it clucks it will wake him up," Malon explained handing it to him. The young boy nodded grabbed it and ran to back to the castle. A few minutes later she could hear her father yelling.
"I'm coming Malon!" he yelled. Malon crossed her arms and scowled. Her father came running around the corner.
"Father what took you so long? You can't keep on falling asleep!" Malon said mad.
"I'm sorry but I've just been so tired lately," Talon explained. Malon tried to scowl but she knew she couldn't be mad at her father.
"It's okay! It's all over and now we can go back to the ranch," Malon said giving her father a hug. They both walked home but Malon couldn't help but wish his father wouldn't have woken up so early. She wanted to see the fairy boy again.
I hope I get to see him again Malon thought looking back towards the castle as if she would see him running back down.
**** A few days later ****
Malon was busy working on the ranch tending the horses. She was busy humming away to calm Epona down. Malon was so busy humming she didn't even notice that a person was right in front of her.
"Oh! So, this is where you live?" the voice said. Malon opened her eyes and stopped humming. She saw that the fairy boy was standing in front of her.
"Yes, it is. Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch, where we have the richest milk in all of Hyrule," Malon said smiling.
"So, what brought you here Fairy boy?" Malon asked.
"I was just on my way to Death mountain and in the field, I saw a sign pointing towards the ranch. I decided to come here and check it out," the boy said.
"That's nice. Oh, thanks for finding my father," Malon said giving him a hug.
"Y-yeah. No problem. Oh, my name's Link, by the way," Link said.
"Well nice to meet you Link! I'm Malon," Malon said shaking his hand. Link smiled and looked around.
"This is a beautiful ranch, what was that song you were humming just earlier?" Link asked facing back towards her.
"That was a song my mother always sang to me, and now I sing it for my horse," Malon said. "She'll only come to me if I sing it watch," Malon began humming and her voice filled the air. Link watched as an orange Clydesdale began trotting towards them. The horse stopped and nudged Malon gently. Malon laughed and stroked it.
"So is this horse a girl or a boy," Link asked watching it.
"It's a she and her name is Epona," Malon said rubbing Epona's nose.
"She's a good horse, isn't that right Epona," Malon said pulling out a carrot and feeding her. Epona neighed and bit the carrot.
"Hey could you teach me that song?" Link asked. Malon thought about it for a few seconds then nodded.
"Do you have something or are you good at singing," Malon said. Link laughed.
"Well I'm not that good at singing so how about if I play it on my Ocarina," Link suggested pulling it out. Malon gasped and smiled.
"Oh what a cute ocarina, I always wanted one but I can't afford one yet," Malon said.
"Alright, then listen up and you repeat it," Malon said humming the melody. Link nodded and repeated the song. Pretty soon they were both playing as a duet and Epona nudged Link.
"Aww she's fond of you know," Malon said smiling at them.
"That's going to be nice," Link said stroking Epona.
"Hey before you go do you want some Lon Lon milk, it's very rich in Vitamin D and Calcium will make your bones strong," Malon said. Link nodded.
"Okay follow me and I'll get you some fresh milk," Malon said grabbing his hand.
"Okay well thank you. I'm honored,"" Link said as he was getting dragged behind Malon. She got some bottles and milked the cows and screwing the lid on tight she handed it to Link.
"Feel free to come back when you need refills," Malon said as they headed out the door.
"Okay well thank you," Link said.
"No problem," Malon said waving as he walked down the path to go back to Hyrule Field.
Time passed and Malon hasn't seen Link for a long time. She was beginning to worry if something happened to him.
