Hyrule Warriors Legends:

The Tale of Majora's Mask

Prologue

Zelda slowly opened her eyes to reveal her perfect room. She sat up in her huge bed, pulled the covers off from over her, and stood up. Changing out of her pajamas and into her royal dress, she opened the doors to her balcony as wide as she could, allowing the morning sunlight to pour into the room.

She grabbed her Goddess Harp and stood out on the balcony. She closed her eyes and began to pluck the strings to the tune of a lullaby that her father used to sing to her when she was a little girl.

She sighed, thinking about her father again. She missed him. She never really spent time with him; he was always busy. Impa, her royal bodyguard, last survivor of the Sheikah, and general of her army, was always with her instead. She liked Impa.

She also liked Link. He was a quiet man from her army, but he was also the legendary hero of Hyrule, thanks to the Triforce of Courage that resides in him. He can never be seen anywhere without his fairy friend, Proxi, who speaks for him.

Of course, he didn't save Hyrule alone. Along with her and Impa, the three had made many new friends along their journey together.

First, there was Lana and Cia. An evil man named Ganondorf had ripped all of the goodness out of Cia while she watched over the Triforce. That goodness created Lana. But luckily, Ganondorf was defeated and Cia turned good as well. Now, they both watch over the owners of the other Triforce pieces, Link and Zelda, together, as well as share the Triforce of Power.

There was also Linkle, a girl who thought she was the hero. While she wasn't "the" hero, she most certainly was a hero. She traveled across Hyrule just to come and help their army. While Zelda had gone with Link to return the Master Sword, the legendary blade of Evil's Bane that only the hero may wield, monsters attacked the castle. But she came and fought alongside Impa to protect it.

The rest of their friends were actually from different points in time. When Cia worked for Ganondorf, she opened portals to different moments in the past to locate his spirit fragments. But they met heroes from those times along the way.

Zelda was glad that there was no more darkness in Hyrule. This gave everyone a time to relax, including her as she played her harp. This also allowed her people to live in peace, without fear of darkness plaguing their kingdom.

She sighed again and opened her eyes to stare upon her gorgeous kingdom, along all of the green fields that lay in it.

What she saw made her scream and drop her harp onto the floor.

Out in the fields was a huge storm of darkness. Below the clouds was a huge Gate of Souls, one of the portals that lead them to another point in time. Once it was complete, Zelda could see two figures fly through it.

A Hylian captain burst into the room.

"Your Majesty," he spoke, out of breath. "What is the trouble?

"Get me Link and Impa as soon as possible," she demanded, walking over to him.

"Yes, Your Majesty," he answered, and dashed out of the room.

She hurried back to the balcony and clutched onto the railing.

Shortly after her talk with the captain, Link and Impa arrived at Zelda's room, alongside Proxi the fairy.

Zelda smiled at Link, who was still clad in his green outfit, brown boots, and blue scarf. Being the hero, he would never be seen without it. He also always wore his Knight's sword and shield, seeing how the Master Sword had to be returned.

Impa, being the last member of the Sheikah tribe, wore the makeup on her face, as well as have the eye with a single tear on her shirt. Her Giant's Blade was hooked securely onto her back.

"Princess," she began. "You summoned us. The captain said it was urgent. What's wrong?"

"Look," she told them. She got off of her bed and walked over to the balcony doors. She opened them again to reveal the portal.

"Another one!?" Proxi cried.

"I'm afraid so," she answered. "Link, it would seem you have another time period to visit. Be on your guard, I saw to figures fly into the portal once they were finished creating it."

Link nodded firmly.

"Good," she said. "Go into the training grounds and bring some men with you. Good luck."

And with that, Link and Proxi left the room, leaving the princess behind with Impa.

"You said they flew into the portal?" Impa questioned.

"Yes," the princess answered.

"Then it couldn't have been Lana and Cia," she thought aloud.

"It didn't look like them either," Zelda told her.

Meanwhile, Link and Proxi arrived in the training grounds.

"Anyone who wants to fight for Hyrule," Proxi shouted. "Come with us."

Many soldiers began to equip themselves with the proper weapons and armour. Once they were all prepared, they began to follow Link out of the castle. They walked across the lowered drawbridge and out into Hyrule Field, beginning their trek towards the portal.

Linkle, who was now part of the army, also happened to be in the training grounds at the time. She double-checked to make sure her crossbows were secure on her boots, lowered her green hood, and clutched onto her golden compass given to her by her grandmother. After meeting Link, she wasn't entirely sure if shewas the legendary hero. But she also knew that she still had the right and the capability to fight for Hyrule.

Nonetheless, she decided to give Link a chance and sit this one out. Perhaps her time would come later.
