The Legend of Zelda: Wake of the blade
By Alex Elliott
"Introduction"
Ok, first of all I'd just like to tell you how 'Wake of the blade' isn't just one story. It is in fact a series of 'episodes' that all link together to make the complete story. However, episode one, titled 'Darkness into light', is sort of a pilot episode. If I get some positive feedback from readers then I will write the next episode. If I don't then, fair enough I'll just pack it up and actually do something I can get paid for.
One thing I have to point out is that the 'official' word from Nintendo is this: The "Zelda" game series is NOT one long time-line but is one adventure that is continually re-made. Zelda one and Zelda: the adventure of link are both one adventure split into two parts, the timeline is then re-set and begins again with A link to the past and is followed up with Link's Awakening. Then there is Ocarina of time/Majora's mask. The latest adventure (at time of writing) is the Oracle series. I'm not sure if this is entirely true but it makes sense to me so I have used it as the basis for my stories. My Fan Fiction series takes place in the 'Ocarina of time/Majora's mask' universe, 9 years after Majora's mask. However, I have used poetic licence and built a world and history up around the one described in the two games. In my series Hyrule is not an entire planet but simply a Country within the world of ERON. Within this world there are the Countries of Hyrule (pronounced Hi Rule), Remeady (pronounced Re me de), the Curseid (Pronounced Curse-id) lands, Remeetry (Pronounced Re me tree, nicknamed the Dagger isles), the Ice Isles and an uncharted stretch of islands. Throughout this world there lives a variety of different species. These include:
Hylians: the people of Hyrule are distinguishable due to their long pointy ears. They are usually around 5 feet tall.
Kokiri: The Kokiri people live in the Kokiri forest on the border of Hyrule. At first they may appear to be Hylian children but in fact, when fully grown, the Kokiri people's appearance is that of a ten-year-old Hylian. It is said that if a Kokiri leaves the Kokiri forest then s/he will perish.
Remeads: similar in appearance to Hylians, with the exception of the pointy ears. They are predominantly a warrior race that grow up on training camps. However, through the ages more and more families are going against their warrior traditions and setting up more civilized families. They are also the most technologically advanced species due to a magical from of energy that flows from a mountain in the centre of their country. The land of Remeady is much colder than Hyrule and as a result Remeads wear multi- layered clothing made out of thick, dark material.
Gorons: The Goron people have a hard, rock like skin and live up on the mountains in Eron and in the Wasteland desert in the Curseid lands. The head of the Gorons, Darunia, lives in Goron city near the peak of Death mountain in Hyrule.
Zora: The Zora people are an underwater species who live in the seas and waters of Eron. Their homeland, Zora's Domain, is found in the Northeastern area of Hyrule. Visitors are rarely welcome and very few outsiders have ever ventured there.
Curseid: Little is known about the Curseid people as none have been seen outside the Curseid city for centuries. It is rumoured that the Curseid are the source of all that is evil throughout Eron.
Sheikah: The Sheikah used to be the guardians of Hyrule. However, it is believed that they are now extinct. They had powerful magic and mystical abilities. Near the end of the species' life they were a peaceful race but due to an ancient war between the Sheikahs and Remeads, Hylians are not welcome in Remeady and Remeads are not welcome in Hyrule.
Gerudos: The Gerudos are an all female race who live by stealing from others. Every 100 years, a new king of the Gerudos is born, the most recent being Ganondorf.
There are also many other species and creatures that live in Eron, such as fairys and Skultullas.
That is all the information you should need for now. The series follows mainly the adventures of two Remeads called Indey and Imylia. Hope you enjoy 'Darkness into light' (I'm sick of reading it by now checking for mistakes). Email me at LINKINTHECHAIN@HOTMAIL.COM.
By the way, I should point out that some parts may not be suitable for younger children (you know who you are).
I'm an 18-year-old bloke by the way, just in case anyone was wondering ( (no one cares about the author nowadays)
