The Legend of Zelda: When Worlds Collide

by CryingSapphires

This is a story involving characters from both Boy Meets Boy, an online comic written daily by Sandra Delete (www.boymeetsboy/keenspace.com), and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, produced by Nintendo 64. I got this idea after the realization that Harley Goldman, the ubershibby and ubercute star of Boy Meets Boy, had a striking resemblance to Link, the brave and virtuous Hero of Time of The Legend of Zelda games. The two look almost alike, only Harley has more piercings and Link has pointy ears. So, I got to thinking: What if Harley and Link were to switch places somehow? What if Harley was made the legendary Hero of Time to set out and rescue Hyrule from the evil that Gannondorf had created in the lands of Hyrule? What if Link took Harley's place? What would become of both people? Will Harley come out victorious and defeat the evil king, restore peace to Hyrule, and return to Mik's waiting arms? Or will Harley fail, and become an eternal slave for the diabolical King of Evil? How would Link cope with both aging seven years in an instant and living in the modern world? How will Mik hold out knowing that his beloved must come out victorious, or die trying?

This story features some yaoi, or boy on boy sexual activity (C'mon. It's Boy Meets Boy. What did you expect?), but I'm not saying who's going to be getting it on. You have to read into the story to find out. If the thought of yaoi, rape, and self-mutilation offends you, please do not flame me. If you can't handle such content then please don't read this story. I cannot stress enough that I would rather you skip reading this then flaming me. If you don't mind logical reasons behind my storyline for these episodes to take place, then please continue. If not, please click 'back' on your browser, because I'd rather spare you the details.

Anyway, enough of my warnings and notes. On to the story!

Chapter One

When Worlds Collide

Mikhael Rasputin unlocked apartment 667 and entered. He surveyed his apartment once before entering completely. His arch nemesis and ex-boyfriend, Tybalt O'Donnell, had a habit of breaking into his apartment in an attempt to seduce Mik's current and eternal boyfriend, Harley Goldman. The Russian strolled over into his loving room and dropped the day's mail onto the coffee table.

"Hmm," Mik thought out loud. "Harley should have been home by now. He said he was only going out for the morning." Mik picked up his letter opener and began to open bills, catalog offers, and coupons. He set aside the latest issues of Time and Entertainment Weekly and anticipated the opportunity to read them later on. After combing through his mail, Mik took the bills into the next room and placed them on his desk. He then went to his studio and began painting.

Mik loved to paint, and that was good. Mik was a professional artist and often sold his paintings and other masterpieces for hefty sums of money. Mik's assets were worth well over $20 million dollars, and he was proud of what he had accomplished simply through self-expression. He took a thin brush in his hand and added a small speckle of Cathedral blue to his latest work of art. He didn't have a definite title in mind for the piece before him, but for some reason "When Worlds Collide" seemed to fit. He smiled at the title idea and wrote it down on a slip of paper beside his easel. He continued to paint and concentrate of the contrasts of colors. Soon, though, his thoughts were happily interrupted by the sound of the front door flying open. Harley rushed in, giggling hysterically. He clamored over to Mik and wrapped his arms around his lover and nuzzled his chest.

"I missed you, hun," Harley assured him, and Mik smiled. Harley then ran to the living room and tore open the shrink wrapped packaging containing his new video game. Harley had a Nintendo 64 system for quite some time now, but the Zelda craze had yet to catch up to him. Until now. Mik stopped painting and calmly approached his boyfriend, who had already turned on the television and was prepared to turn on the N64 system.

"What did you buy today, lovey?" Mik asked of his lover.

"I just got The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time," the blonde bombshell replied. "I've been wanting it for weeks, but I'd always see something else I wanted. This is way shibby!" Harley hurriedly plopped the game into the console and picked up the controller. "This game is so way shibby. I have to play this, and then get Majora's Mask, and then get a Game Cube so I can have the latest..."

"What is so special about these video games, Harley?" Mik inquired between sips of a cup of coffee. "I mean, nothing gets accomplished. All you do is pop in the game, and then that's that. There's nothing to it."

Harley stood up in a huff. Mik thought Harley looked so cute when he was angry. His low riding jeans seemed to sink a bit lower whenever he got peeved. "Mik, there's a lot to playing these games. It develops good hand-eye coordination, plus it builds self-esteem."

Mik sighed out an okay. He approached his lover and gave him a big hug, and Harley purred in his arms. He began to stroke Harley's beautiful blonde hair and nuzzled his forehead. "I'm going to make lunch now, lovey, so you play and I'll call you out to dinner."

"All right." Harley licked Mik's nose and gave him a small kiss on the lips. He then sat in front of the television and began to guide young Link throughout the game. Harley got the hang of the game from the very start, and easily conquered the Deku Tree. He got frustrated as time and time again the guards would catch him inside Zelda's castle. Sometime during Dondogo's Cavern Cyanide had called Harley, inviting him to go to a movie or something. Harley explained he had just gotten a new game, and why couldn't he and Skids come over here? Just before Harley went on to conquer Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly, he decided to save the game to eat with his beloved. Mik had made an absolutely fabulous meal, as always, and the two of them chatted about their days. After lunch, Harley poured himself a glass of milk and he and Mik entered the living room.

Harley set the milk down on top of the television, and turned on the television to play Ocarina of Time. He explained to Mik that he wanted to play for a little while longer, and then they could go "have a little fun." Mik smiled and was convinced. He watched as Harley obtained the Zora Sapphire and headed off to the castle. Harley got the Ocarina of Time, and played the Song of Time in front of the Triforce door within the Temple of Time. The door opened, and Harley guided Link inside to pull the Master Sword from its holding block. As the cinema played, Harley took this time to catch Mik up on the plot of Ocarina of Time. Mik hadn't followed the whole storyline, but he listened patiently as Harley explained it all to him.

Harley was really getting into explaining the story, and stood up to illustrate things better. Harley began flailing his arms about and spiced up the story just for his lover. With the controller in one hand, Harley managed to knock over the glass of milk with the other hand. Milk flew everywhere, and a surge of white electricity filled the room. Harley felt a million volts of electricity surge throughout his body, causing every hair on his body to stand on end. Harley tried to speak, but all that he could emit was a shriek. Mik gasped and shielded his eyes from the bright light. All he heard from Harley was a huge shriek, and then the entire apartment fell dark and silent.

Mik opened his eyes and surveyed his apartment. All he saw was dark. Nothing but lots of darkness. "Are you alright?" Mik interrogated the darkness. He was greeted by a meek groan, and Mik sighed with relief. "Thank God you're all right," he said.

"Where...where am I?" Mik heard this second voice in his apartment, but he didn't recognize it. It was childlike, as if a twelve-year-old had entered his apartment. The voice called out again. "Where am I? Is this the Chamber of Sages?"

Mik wondered to himself, "Chamber of Sages? What the heck is Harley talking about?" He got up and struggled to find the fuse box. After restoring power, Mik heard a loud shriek come from the living room. "Harley, we already did the shrieking bit," Mik chuckled to himself. He made his way back to the living room and doubled over at the sight before him.

A young boy stood before him. The boy was about Harley's height, but this boy was certainly not Harley. He looked a lot like Harley, but he wore a green tunic and silver tights. This boy was about the same age as Harley, but had a few distinct differences. His voice was very childlike, as if he hadn't matured fully, and his look was serious and determined. He had beautiful blond hair parted in the center and hung low in the back. He wore brown boots and had a simple gold hoop earring in each pointy ear.

"You...you are not Harley," Mik stammered.

"No, I'm not Harley. Who's Harley? Who are you? Where am I? What is this place?" the boy asked.

"Harley is my boyfriend, my name's Mik, and you're in my apartment," Mik answered. "Who are you, and what are you doing in my apartment?"

"My name is Link, and Hyrule is in great danger!" Link replied. "I was sent by Princess Zelda to defeat the evil Gannondorf and keep peace throughout Hyrule."

"Very well...wait a minute," Mik began to think to himself. Link walked around the apartment and shrieked when he came upon a mirror.

"WHO IS THAT?!?" Link cried out as he pointed to his reflection.

"That's your reflection, Link," Mik replied.

"That's not me. I'm a little boy. I can't be a man like that," Link pouted.

"I know what happened!" Mik exclaimed. Mik grabbed the cheat book Harley had bought with the game. "I remember Harley mentioning a Link in this game. Harley and Link must have switched roles!"

"I'm old, I'm old, I'm old, I'm old, I'm old..." Link rocked back and forth in a chair and began to cry. "I'm only twelve," Link sobbed. "I can't be old." Ignoring Link's crying, Mik flipped through the pages of the cheat book frantically looking for information. He came upon the present stage of Link.

Mik explained, "It says here that when you pulled out the Master Sword, you were sealed away in the Chamber of Sages for seven years. As a child, you were too young to be the Hero of Time, so they waited until your body aged. I'm concluding that your body aged, but mentally and emotionally you're still twelve years old. But, from what I read in this book, you were quite mature for twelve. By the time you pulled out the Master Sword..."

"...I had already collected the three spiritual stones and placed them in the Temple of Time and played the Song of Time to open the door to the Chamber of Sages," Link finished.

"That's right," Mik answered.

"What good am I now? The fate of Hyrule rests on my shoulders, and I've been transported to this world after I pulled out the Master Sword. What am I supposed to do?" Link asked Mik. "Hyrule is doomed, and I'm stuck here."

"You could help me think of a way to rescue Harley," Mik crouched in front of Link's delicate presence. "You come from a video game called The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Somehow, you and my boyfriend have switched places and Harley is now in the game you come from. Hyrule is the world you come from, but you are now on the planet Earth." Mik glanced over to the cheat book that lay at his feet. "You have to help me get my boyfriend back to this world safely, Link. I need you." Link stared into the eyes of this man before him. He saw the genuine sadness that filled his eyes, and Link could feel nothing but a yearning to help this person. All throughout his life, Link wanted to do nothing but help those who needed help, and here was another chance to fulfill his life's choice.

Link sighed. "All right, Mik. I will do what ever it is that I can do to help. What can I do?"

"Well, first of all, you'll have to change your clothes," Mik started.

"What's wrong with what I have on?" Link inquired. His feelings and fashion sense obviously were insulted.

"Not to say anything against your choice of fashion, but that tunic won't go over well in this world. You need more modern clothes," Mik replied. He studied Link for a moment. "Hmmmm," Mik thought to himself. "My clothes would be too big for him, but Harley's should just fit him." Mik walked over to Harley's closet and searched through his clothing. He found a pair of jeans and a tank top and offered them to Link.

"Here, put these on. Also, here's a pair of socks and sneakers. You won't stick out so much here, at least," Mik told Link. Link dressed in Harley's clothes and posed for Mik.

"How do I look?" Link questioned. Mik studied the beauty before him and stifled the urge to grab Link and make him his. Link looked exactly like Harley, only with longer hair, and pointy ears. POINTY EARS!

"We have to do something about those ears," Mik said. He took a brush and began brushing Link's hair over his ears. Soon the points of Link's ears were hidden, but not forgotten. "If your ears suddenly stick out, we'll think of something." Mik stepped back and smiled at the grace in front of him. Link resembled Harley so much right now it was uncanny.

Notes and Disclaimers:

A few disclaimers. First of all, Link, Gannondorf, Navi, Zelda, and any other Legend of Zelda characters belong to Nintendo. Harley, Mik, Cyanide, Skids, and any other Boy Meets Boy characters are property of Sandra Delete. Saku is my own original character, but with a Nintendo owned idea. I took one of the Gerudo women and named her. Aren't you proud of me?

Time and Entertainment Weekly are both owned by AOL Time Warner. I hope they don't mind that I gave them a bit of free advertising in this story, after all, I do have subscriptions to both magazines. So, if they have a problem with it, I credited them, and gave them free advertising. So there.

Also, as far as I know, Game Cube is also owned by Nintendo. I'm pretty sure of that. If I'm wrong, please tell me, cuz I'll feel so stupid if I'm wrong.

Also, I have decided to make Sheik a boy. Forget the whole Sheik is actually Zelda in disguise bit. I like distinguishing Sheik and Zelda as two separate entities. Zelda still has her powers, and will have an impact upon this story, but I still want to keep Zelda and Sheik as two separate people.

A few quick notes. This story is very detailed and does spoil some of the actual Ocarina of Time plot. I try my best not to spoil much, but sometimes a story must be told as it's meant to be. I'd advise you not to read this story if you haven't finished playing OoT. If you have completed the game or don't really care about spoilers, then please continue on. If not, please mark this story in your favorites. I'd appreciate that.

The Symphony of Moonlight and Call of Phantoms are not actual songs in the game. I can promise you that. These two song titles are original names I created, and if Nintendo decides to use them in future Legend of Zelda games dealing with an ocarina, I won't sue. I'll be very flattered, though. The two melodies do have logical explanation behind them, and I hope you enjoy the creativity.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please leave me reviews. I'm only going to put up the first few chapters for now, and then later on I'll add on more chapters. I have the entire story written out, but if I get any ideas from you guys I'll update a part of the story or something. Enjoy, and thanks for tuning in!
