What Am I Doing?
This story takes place during Ocarina of Time, after Link completes the Water Temple. I altered the story and Sheik's dialog.
Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Zelda.
This is my first fan fic, just let me know how I did!
"Goddesses," Link thought to himself, "I just put my life on the line again, all for a piece of metal." He had just exited the Water Temple, and had stopped to rest by the big stone with the inscription that gave him the Fire Arrows. He took off all of his equipment and sat there for about 10 minutes, just staring off into space. He looked at the medallions he had collected, and sighed. Even after defeating a horse riding ghost, a volcanic dragon, and a water eel, there were still two more to go.
He couldn't take it anymore. He screamed to the sky: "WHY ME??? Why did I have to be the one? Why couldn't you take away someone else's childhood? Why?!?!? It was only supposed to be three stones!" He couldn't do it anymore. But, just then, he had a realization. His eyes went to the source of all of his problems: the Master Sword. He took it in his hands and looked at the lake before him. "No one can get it down there," he thought, "Maybe I should just be rid of this forever."
Just then, as if by the will of the goddesses, Sheik appeared from hiding up in the tree nearby. "What are you doing, Link?" he said. Link turned around and said "Oh, wonderful! It's the goddesses' errand boy! What do you think I'm doing? I'm sick of this life and I'm sick of this sword. I'm not a soldier! I'm just a boy!" Sheik corrected him, "Wrong. You are a man, your mind just hasn't caught up yet." "My mind knows well enough what it's lost! I was doing this for the princess at first, but where is she? Nowhere to be found." "She's around, Link, but this isn't the right time to show herself. Your going to have to trust me on this."
"Trust. What do you know about trust? I've been at this for six months now, and you haven't even shown me your face! You disappear with a flash! You spy on me from the trees! I can't stand you!" "Calm down, Link. I know what will cool your nerves. You yonder for home. You want to be a child again. Luckily for you, that's precisely what you need to do. Go to the Temple of Time and return the Master Sword to its pedestal. You will be transported seven years into the past and become a child again. Do not linger too long, however, for we need you to go into the well of Kakariko Village and retrieve the Lens of Truth, which will be key to your next medallion."
Link was bewildered. "Are you serious? I can become a child again?" "Yes, I am. Hurry back."
But Link had different plans all together.
If this goes over well, the next chapter will come!
