Twilight Princess Link~

Link rode on the back of Epona through the woods late at dusk. In a bag he carried on his back contained clean clothes and his adventure pack, just in case monsters decided to ambush him. They turned a corner passed a gate and Link stopped Epona so he could dismount her. Link wanted to bath alone tonight for some reason. The fountain was beautiful, even at night as rainbows beamed from the rushing waterfalls. Link didn't waste anytime staring at the water as he stripped and ran right in. The water was cold and it felt great to his muscles after ranching goats and doing favors around the village. He swam for a little while before doing what he was there for. When he was finished, Link squeezed the water out his hair and sighed deeply to himself. He had defeated Ganondorf only a half a year ago, and it still lingered on his mind about what happened to the Triforce of Power when the demon lord died. He watched as the glowing triangle on his hand faded away. But where did it go? It has bothered him ever since. Link didn't know whether to worry or to carry on with life concern-free. Something didn't feel right and it got under his skin. Ganondorf's sword has disappeared too in battle, which confused him to a high degree. Nothing made since.

Link shook his head as he tried to push the angry thoughts away. He wanted to ignore these thoughts as much as he could. But everytime he forced them down, they always came back. Link just growled and dived under the pond, holding his breathe as he swam backwards underneath the water. The sky was cloud free and the moon was full. But strangely the stars seemed dim, and eerie. Tonight felt strange altogether. Finally, he came up for air and noticed his horse was looking at him curiously.

*crack*

Both Link and Epona got startled from the sudden noise they heard in the brush. It sounded like footsteps, slowy creeping towards them. Link quickly ran out of the water and fetched his clothes out of the saddle, putting them on. Then took his sword out and pointed it in the direction of the woods. "Show yourself!" He ordered in a tense tone. But no one appeared until he heard growling behind him, and about jumped out of his skin as he saw the Golden Wolf caught him off guard. Link stumbled backwards, screaming as the wolf entered his body.

When he woke up, he found himself in another realm, surrounded by water. He got up to his feet, seeing the wolf ahead of him transform into a knight: The Hero's Shade. He questioned his warm welcome as the Ordonian walked nonchalantly to the ghost. Link had his mouth open ready to speak when Shade interrupted him. "You question my appearance, my child. I know what is going through your mind as I speak. You will receive your answer, if you're courteous." As Link heard this, he settled down and listened with respect. "That's better. It will be difficult to understand what I'm about to tell you, so please be patient with me. You and I both know Ganondorf was slained 7 months ago; but your battle is only just beginning."

"Nice," Link muttered sarcastically.

"The nights you've gazed at the stars and wondered what happened to the Triforce of Power and the disappearance of Ganondorf's sword will now come to light. That sword Ganondorf weilded is no ordinary blade. It is a blade of pure darkness that man have created a couple millenia ago. It's origins rest within the sword itself. The sword contains the spirit of a demon. Everytime Ganon was reborn into the world, that blade always found it's way into his ungrateful hands. And now that Ganondorf no longer holds the Triforce, the sword finally claimed it for itself. You must seak this ancient power or the sake of your descendants will fall before the darkness. The man within the sword will steal the rest of the pieces to the triforce from your ancestors if you don't take action. If you want to stop the curse of the triforce, you have to remove the triforce and destroy it."

Link's eyes widened as all his gut feelings were confirmed true. His expression changed immediately and asked, "How can I stop the evil blade? Where do I even start?"

The Hero's Shade bowed his head and took out a blue instrument from a pouch on his hip. He outstretched his hand, offering it to Link. "Take this with you. It was once useful to me and now it shall be useful to the Chosen Hero. Do not lose this precious item. It was given to me by a former Princess Zelda in my time, and now my time is long gone." He walked over to Link and the young Ordanian took it gently into his hands. "This is the legendary Ocarina of Time. To use it, I will teach you how to play: The Song of Time. The song has the power to transport you into the past, no matter how far you want to go. Listen to my hymn closely..."

Link closed his eyes as the Hero's Shade hummed the song and he started playing it on his ocarina. He smiled proudly as he learned the song, and waited anxiously for the Shade to talk again. "You learned well, my child. Now that you've acquired the Song of Time, I will explain what you must do next. The era the sword travelled to now co-exists 2,000 years in the past. Your second descendant is the casualty you have to stop the enemy from going after. We both know what is at stake. Link... I'll see you soon..." Once the two crossed swords, Link was sent back into the real world.

The first thing he did as he awoke, he jumped on top of Epona and galloped back to his home preparing for tomorrow, and what lied ahead of him...
