Hey everybody!

This fic is mainly an OC story. It takes place centuries before Ocarina of Time. This is just the prologue. The story is about the origin of the Ocarina of Time, how it was created, how it gained its power and how it ended up belonging to the Royal Family of Hyrule.

Well, I'd love to know what you guys think of it so far, so please read and review! No flames please!

Alright, here we go!

Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Zelda or any of its characters, nor do I own the Ocarina of Time and its songs. I do own this story and all of my OC's.

Please enjoy the prologue and sorry about it being short! Thank you!

……………..

Love, is a powerful thing.

It can overcome any challenge. It will always give hope to those in need of it. If you are hurt, ill, or in despair, love will aid you.

Perhaps love, is our greatest gift.

But love is not the only power that exists in the world. There is also hate. Hate, too, is a powerful thing, but not in the same way as love. Hate will bring destruction, fear and despair. It has corrupted the hearts of many; both now, and in the past. Perhaps our greatest challenge is to resist the power of hatred. A heart consumed by hatred does not know love, and most likely, never will.

Why I am here today, is to share my tale of love, and hatred.

My name is Impa. I am one of the last members of my race, the Shiekah. I am a protector to Zelda, the Princess of Destiny. I am also the Sage of Shadow.

As a protector to the princess of Hyrule, I know many of the Royal Family's secrets. One of these secrets tells of a family treasure passed down from generation to generation, the Ocarina of Time.

This treasure contains a mystical power and is the final key needed to unlock the Sacred Realm, where the Triforce resides.

Few know of the origin of this instrument, I am one of those few.

Listen closely, and I will tell you a tale. A tale which took place centuries before my time. A tale of love and hatred. A tale of courage and friendship. A tale of fear… and of hope.

The tale of a young orphan of my race, who lived in a time when the Shiekah were mistreated by the Hylians. The origin of the Ocarina of Time.

She was a young mute, who had nothing. And yet, she was the beginning of everything.

Her name, was Sasha.
