THE LEGEND OF LINK
It's a calm crisp dawn, in the middle of the Kokiri forest. The forest is filled with over-towering trees taking up the outer rim of Hyrule. The land of Hyrule is vast among the lands and is divided into seven different sections. In the northern part of Hyrule stands its mighty castle. It stands with pride and majesty as it oversees all. A river runs in front of the castle village, which rests its humble townsfolk south of the kingdom. The only way in or out of the town is through the wooden drawbridge that remains open during the day and closed at night. Just to the right of Hyrule's castle lies Death Mountain holding a small village at its base. Kakariko village settles its townsfolk in well-built houses looking up to the active mountain which is home to a rock-type creature. These creatures are called the Gorons and they reside inside the mountain feeding on rich, mineral-filled rocks that they harvested in the Dodongo Cavern halfway up the mountain's side. The Gorons are a well- rounded folk with a hard yet flexible rocky shell covering their entire back. They can curl up into a ball and defend themselves against enemy attacks, and they can roll themselves down the mountain allowing faster movement for their slow moving bodies. The river in front of Hyrule's castle land begins its flow past the mountains and into the eastern area of Zora's Domain. Zora's Domain is a dug out cavern underneath a waterfall at the start of the river. A small fish people called the Zora live there. They are as tall as any man, yet their skin is blue and scale-like. They have the same structure as a human except they are equipped with fins on their head, arms, and legs, as well as gills under their jaw. They're a quiet people who are only seen around water and normally never away from their homes. South of Zora's Domain, the southeastern part of all Hyrule, lies the calm Kokiri forest. A thick blanket of trees surrounds a small opening towards the southernmost part of the forest. The opening contains a small village in which children called Kokiri kids live. They wear clothes of green and live among each other in tiny tree houses, made from the largest of trees in the opening. The forest children never grow up; they will remain a child until death, but they seem to enjoy the young life. Across from the Kokiri forest, South of all Hyrule, lay empty fields of soft green grass, bending to the wind's every move. To the far west of Hyrule castle lies a desert valley, Gerudo Valley, which is home to many thieves and a haunted wasteland. Just south of the Gerudo Valley, southwest of all Hyrule, lies its majestic lake. Lake Hyilia is home to a single fisherman, but all are welcome. Emptying into the lake is the river flowing from atop Zora's Domain. It flows into Hyrule, past the castle, through the front of the Gerudo valley, and onto the lake in a small waterfall. Lake Hyilia is a peaceful spot for any-time fishing. Finally, towards the middle of Hyrule lies a small ranch almost stranded from communication with the rest of Hyrule. Every division remains peaceful within Hyrule, and all are lively inside the its boundaries.
A small boy in a tiny tree house, just inside the Kokiri Village is steadily sleeping. The dawn of a new day begins to rise above the clouds as rays of sunlight show inside the one room fort. An old, round wooden table stands in the middle of the room. A flower vase with a single pink flower sits itself in the center of the table. The back of the room holds a dresser with a notebook on top of it. The left side of the room contains the sleeping boy. His bed is made from the forest wood, but is cushioned by some small blankets. The sun grows higher in the sky and its rays begin to shine upon the boy's golden hair. The sunlight hits his eyes, and he slowly opens them. His blue eyes shone like the reflection of the sea and his blonde hair moved across his face as careless as can be. The boy sat up and yawned. A new day of life had come and the boy smiled then stood to his feet. He looked to be no more than ten years old, and he held the look of wisdom in his glowing eyes. He walked over to the dresser and pulled out a green tunic, which he dressed in. It hung just above his knees and he belted the tunic at his waste with a red handcrafted belt. The small child tried on a green hat that was the same color as his tunic and hung down from his head to the top of his back. Most Kokiri children wear a loosely hung hat over their heads. The boy brushed his hand through his hair, revealing his two pointy ears, then dropped the hair back down over his face. He shook his head and let his hair fall gently into place. His golden blonde hair hung just above his eyebrows and gently flowed back to touch his ears. A small lock of hair formed on either side of his head and hung down like small sideburns in front of his ears. He smiled a cheerful grin and walked over to his bed that he began to make. After smoothing out the last crease he pulled his boots next to his bed, sat down, and put them on. His dark brown boots pulled up to the middle of his calves and buckled at the top with a small belt. When the boy finished with his boots he stood up, took one last look around his room then stepped outside to greet the day. His tree house was the only house to the far right of the village. Though he had no neighbors, a small Kokiri girl, looking to be about his age, was waiting for him to come down. The boy looked down upon her, smiled, and waved. She waved and called to him, "Come on down, Link! Today's a good day!" Link nodded in agreement and descended down a ladder to the base of his tree. On the forest floor he walked up to the Kokiri girl, also dressed in green, and stood in front of her. "Hey Saria, great day for a walk, huh?" Link stated. "Sure is." Of all the Kokiri folk Saria has got to be the most spirited of the color green. Her eyes were green as well as her hair that came across her face and out from behind her pointed ears. She wore a green turtleneck sweater and over it she wore a solid green vest. Her green shorts came to mid thigh and her green boots were fitted nicely around her calves. She smiled at Link before she announced that they should begin their walk. Link agreed and they started off towards the village. They traveled down a trail from Link's house and into the village. The village was filled with busy Kokiri, each attending to their house or their shops. Mido, who thinks he owns the village, was putting another Kokiri kid to work tending to Mido's lawn. He looked up and saw Saria walking with Link. He stuck his chin in the air and glared at Link before he returned to being boss. Link just waved and continued on a trail leading up to the western side of the forest. Saria saw a couple of her friends and they stopped to chat awhile. Link smiled and listened to the conversation. They were talking about something they had found near the forest entrance, some kind of necklace, and they were talking about Mido too. When they began to mention how cute and responsible Mido was, Link turned his head and looked around. After they finished their chat, Link and Saria continued to venture to the western side. They passed up a couple of small tree forts and waved to their friends. Finally, they reached the far west side where a thick blanket of trees and shadow lie. "Link, I don't know my way around the Lost Woods, and I'm not sure we need to go in there." Saria mentioned. "Why not?" "The Lost Woods is no place to venture into. Many kids have been lost in there for years, and all that go in never make it out. I guess I'm scared, but I know another place to go to. You'll like it. Come, I'll show you." "Ok." Link said giving one last curious look to the Woods as Saria headed back down near the front of the village. The two traveled near the entrance to the Kokiri Village, where they came upon a small wooden bridge. Saria stopped and Link followed. "This is it," Saria said, "just look up and you'll see why I like coming here, especially in the morning." Link looked up only to see the sky lighted with the bright rays of the sun. The treetops glistened as the dewdrops shone the sun's reflection. The whole forest seemed more tranquil in that very spot, than any other place Link had been in his lifetime. Link cracked a smile as he watched some birds cast their shadow against the sun. A fresh forest scent filled the air and Link breathed deeply as he felt the morning's breeze gently blow across his face. "You're right, it's an awesome place to come and find peace." Link commented. "I love coming here, I come here every morning, and when I'm feeling down. I can come and relax here any time of the day because it's always like this; always quiet and peaceful." Link looked over the edge of the rope railing. He looked down to see a trail from the woods, it wasn't too far down and it looked about as calm and tranquil as the bridge. "Ever been down there?" Link asked. "No, the trail leads from the Lost Woods, but it would be nice to go down there some day." Link looked at Saria as her eyes concentrated on a soft patch of grass just below them. He looked towards the grass too. It did look relaxing, and peaceful. Then Link turned his attention towards where the trail came out of. He walked to the other side of the bridge. His eyes followed the trail into the Lost Woods. It ran back then took a right into the shadows of the Lost Trees. "What is it Link?" Saria asked.
"The woods, if I find a way down there would you come?"
"Link no! You can't go in there. Promise me you will, never journey into those woods."
"I don't know. I think it would be fun trying to find a way here. Don't you think it would be somewhat, adventurous?"
Saria giggled, "Yeah, I guess you're right." She paused before continuing. "Ya know, you're not like other kids. You aren't afraid of anything, even the one thing we all fear the most, the Lost Woods."
"Guess it's a gift?"
Saria laughed and stood next to Link. They both watched the trail and sat in silence for a long while. After their visit on the bridge, Link and Saria headed back into town. They ate a lunch, then Link helped Mido with some yard work, more like Link did all the yard work, but Saria watched them both. Mido brought Saria dinner at her house, and Link just observed a small pond in the village. Before going to bed that night Saria caught Link walking home. "Hey Link!" He turned to see Saria running up behind him. "Hey." Link replied.
"About the Lost Woods thing, If you ever go to the Lost Woods, I want come with you."
"Sounds great Saria."
"Sure does. I think it's awesome how brave you are. You're what this village needs."
"Thanks Saria. How does tomorrow sound?"
"Tomorrow?"
"For our adventure?"
"Oh, yes! I'll be looking forward to it!"
They both smiled and Link walked to his house. Inside his tree house Link settled into his bed, and looked up at the stars from a window carved just above his bed. He smiled then stated, "Today was a good day, and tomorrow will be even better!" Link shut his eyes and fell asleep, but tomorrow would hold more than he was expecting.
