INTRO

In the land of Hyrule 4 children were born. One was a baby boy destined to save Hyrule and be the "Hero of Time" . One was a baby girl born into the royal family and to be the princess of Hyrule. Another was a Kokiri girl who would help the hero and be one of his closest friends. The last one was a girl born on Lon Lon Ranch. All were chosen to help save the land from destruction from an evil king, seeking to take over the power of the triforce, and spread darkness to every corner of the earth.

A great and powerful sage knew all that was to come, so he sealed the Temple of Time in fear that the evil king might get into the temple and use it to gain power.

As the sage knew of all that was to come, surely he did. The sage had to keep the children, destined to save Hyrule, safe. So he went on a quest to gather the children and bring them to a time of safety. The dark lord also knew of this hero of time for he had already been beaten once by him in the future. He also set out in search for him to prevent his plan of destruction from being interrupted.

After many months, the sage had all four of the children with him. He went to the Temple of Time and unsealed it with the three stones of the goddesses and the princess's necklace charm. He took the Master Sword and the necklace and used it to travel through time with the children to the far future to stay until they were old enough to save Hyrule once again…

CHAPTER 1

Zelda

" Zelda… Com'n, wake up. It's almost time for school."

"Uhg… to… tired… need more… sleep…", she groaned.

"Com'n" She opened her eyes to see her brother at the side of her bed, nudging her awake.

"I think I'll stay home sick today", she groaned. She put the covers back over her head.

"Don't you think you've missed enough this year?", he said.

She thought for a second, she only missed ten days. " You sound like mom, now go away! … CHRIS!" He opened the shades to her window. Light was coming through her covers.

"I'm not letting you skip any more school", said Chris. He picked her up and headed downstairs. He went out to their backyard deck and got close to the pool.

"No Chris! If you do I'll… ahhhhhh!!" He through her into the pool. "MOM!!!!!!!!!!!", she screamed.

"Chris!! Why must you torment your sister", their mother called from inside.

She came out "If you do one more thing wrong, your grounded for a month!", she said. She threw a towel to Zelda, then went back inside.

"I wasn't tormenting her… I was just helping her wake up", he said innocently. BAM! Zelda hit him in the back of the head and walked inside.

"Uhg! Why do I have to have HIM as a brother!?". she thought. She went into the kitchen and poured herself a bowl of cereal. Chris sat down next to her.

"Going to the football game tonight?", Chris asked. Zelda looked at him weird.

"Yeah… why?", she asked. Chris was a person to be suspicious with.

"Just wondering, cause one of my friends wants to meet you", he said with a smile. Now that was weird, Chris was always protective of her, what was different now? Anyway she had already met all of his friends before there was nobody that she didn't know.

"Oh really, then what's his name, I met all of your friends", she said, waiting to see if this was a prank.

"His name is Link, he's new to this school, he used to be home schooled", he said eagerly. She looked at him. She knew he was telling the truth, but she wanted to know more, so instead of showing enthusiasm, she acted suspicious.

"Okay, so why are you okay with this. You're usually the one fending off guys that like me", she asked.

" Well, first off this guy isn't scum and second, I've known him for about two weeks now and I think he's alright. He's seen you around and you caught his eye.", said Chris.

Zelda smiled, she couldn't help it. She just loved it when she got attention. It was nice to actually be talking with Chris, than to be fighting with him. Zelda was adopted by his family before she could remember. She and Chris were the same age and in one class together. It was nice to have a brother her age that could talk to her like a friend. But, some friends always want something back too. "Okay, what do you want from me?", she asked.

"I hook you up, you hook me up, how's that?", he asked. She thought for a second. She knew who he wanted. She smiled. He had liked her best friend since 9th grade.

"So, I think I know who you want. My BFF right. You've liked her for how long, oh yeah, 4 YEARS.", she had a huge smirk on her face. He told her a long time ago and he made her promise not to tell. Of course, she told anyway and she found out that she liked him too, its just that the both of them have been cowards for so long it wasn't even funny. Tonight she was gonna hook them up! " Okay, she's coming over tonight before the game, and she's sleeping over, k Romeo", she laughed. She read his mind cause he was smiling too. She got ready for school and together him and her walked to the bus stop.

******************************************************************

Zelda was in last period, her most boring subject, social studies. Everybody was waiting for the bell to ring. "15 minutes to go class, so just sit back and hang out until then", said Mrs. Bealle. Zelda got out a piece of paper and started to write a note to one of her friends. She overheard someone talking.

"…yeah, he's so cute. He's new to this school , his name is … Link, oh but who cares about the name he's just totally hot!…" She looked to see who it was. Of course it was one of those snobby cheerleaders, Rebecca. She smiled, this guy was cute and she was gonna meet him. RING.. The bell rang. Everybody rushed out. Zelda met up with her friend and headed to her bus.

******************************************************************

"Okay, this red belly shirt, or this blue tube top?", asked Zelda showing her friend, Saria, the two options.

"Definitely the blue tube, you don't want to look too sluttish", she laughed. "So have you ever seen this guy before?", she asked excitedly.

"No, but get this, Rebecca F. was talking about how cute he was today and I'm sure all the rest of the cheerleaders are after him too", she said.

" That's' great, they'll all be jealous of you, especially you know who, she'll be flaming if she feels the same way", said Saria getting more excited by the minute. " So if you decide you like this guy, I'll be left alone in the singles category," she frowned.

" Don't be stupid, you know you can have my brother, yet you don't do anything about it", she said. "Chris likes you so much, and you've liked him since, ever. You guys are like perfect, I don't know what either of you are waiting for." Seriously, she didn't know what their problems were.

"Maybe, but it's just too weird, I mean he's your brother", she exclaimed.

"Don't let me get in the way of things, by the way it's not like he's my real brother", she pointed out.

"That's true" , she sighed, "but he never asked me out anyway"

"That's because he's shy, just like you, and doesn't know you like him and the fact I told you, he liked you", she explained.

Saria looked confused. "Come again?" Zelda had a habit of talking fast and stretching sentences to the point that they didn't make much sense .

"All I'm saying is that if you two don't hurry up you'll both end up with someone else and be sad too.", she said. Zelda looked at her clock. "We better get going, it's almost 7:00 and the games gonna start soon."

"Are you nervous?", Saria asked.

"Not as long as your standing right beside me", said Zelda. It was true, she was nervous. Whenever she meets someone , she is always shy, so she always tries to take a friend when she meets someone new. It always helps to have someone you know around.

They were ready to leave, Zelda's mom drove Zelda, Chris, and Saria to the football game. Zelda was sitting in the front so that Saria and Chris could be together. Chris leaned forward to talk to Zelda. "Get me hooked up yet Zel?", he whispered.

"Not yet, but I promise tonight, okay", she whispered back. He had a look of disappointment on his face for a few seconds and then agreed. They were getting closer to the school and she got more nervous. She had met plenty of guys before, but to what the cheerleaders say about him he might be way to high of standards to like her.

'don't be silly", she thought, "he hangs out with my brother, how bad could he be?' She clutched her necklace. That always made her feel better. She never took of the necklace. It was the only thing she had before being adopted, if what you call being left outside a house hoping that the residents were kind enough to take you in, adopted. The thought made her mad. 'stop it, it's not your fault your real parents were stupid and couldn't keep you' , she thought. That made her feel better.

They were there. The car stopped on the side of the rode to let them out. "Have fun, call me when you want to come home. Bye", said their mother.

"Bye", they all said in unison. They headed off towards the school.

The lines for tickets were crowded when they got there. "Oh great", said Zelda sarcastically. "We're gonna be waiting on this line forever!"

"Actually, no we aren't", Chris pulled out three tickets. " I bought them in school, it's on me.", he smiled.

"THANKS Chris!!!", Zelda gave him a hug. "Sometimes you can be the best brother!", she said. Saria agreed. That made Chris happy.

" Zel, I'll come find you later to meet Link, I'm gonna hang out for now okay?", he asked "I'll call you to ask where your gonna be, bye!" He headed off to his group of friends.

"Okay, bye!", she yelled back and walked to the bleachers with Saria. She found herself holding on to her necklace again.

Saria noticed it and smiled. "Don't worry, your great with other people, you're the most social person I know.", she said, trying to reassure her. It worked. She felt better, or was that because she was still holding on to the necklace.

Saria was such a good friend. They had known each other since 3rd grade. They shared all of their secrets. Most of all they could relate in the way nobody else could. Saria was also an orphan. She had stayed in the orphanage till she was seven. Zelda was her first friend.

The both of them found their group and sat down. "Hey girls, what's up?!", asked a girl with brown hair.

"Hey Tara, not much.", replied Zelda as she and Saria sat down next to her.

"Yes much!", said Saria, " Some guy wants to meet Zelda" Tara looked at Zelda.

"Well, doesn't every guy want to meet her? She's one of the most popular girls in school. Plus she's got a super hot brother", said Tara.

"I can't believe you guys like my brother! What about you Mary tell me you like him too!", said Zelda. Trying to change the subject not trying to show how flattered she felt when Tara said all the guys wanted her.

"Well, he is pretty hot, Zelda. He's not your real brother, you should think he's hot too", said Mary.

"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!", said Zelda "okay, no more talk of him ever in front of me okay!" Even if he wasn't a real brother, she knew all about him. The thought of being close in that way, was just gross to her.

" So anyway, who is this guy", asked Mary with a sly smile.

"His name is Link", answered Saria. Zelda looked at her annoyed.

" Thank - you Saria, but I do have a mouth and I can use it", said Zelda.

" Sorry, just exited, you know.", she said , still eager to answer all the questions.

" I know who your talking about!", said Tara. "He's totally hot"

" So I've heard.", replied Zelda. She looked around the bleachers and saw Chris. He was with this blond- haired kid, but she couldn't see his face. His back was facing towards her. "Is that him Tara?", she pointed him out.

"Yeah, too bad he's not looking this way, you'd fall in love with him.", she said. She kept watching, hoping he'd turn around. Chris caught her eye . He smiled and put his phone up so she could see it. He dialed a number. Her phone stared ringing. She picked it up, "Not yet", he said, then hung up.

She shrugged. " Oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait.", she thought. Now was her time to talk to Saria about Chris.

"Saria, come with me to the snack bar , okay.", she said. Saria followed. When they got out of hearing reach of the girls she brought it up. "Okay listen, would you ever like date Chris?', she asked. Saria smiled.

"Of course, are you crazy, nobody would pass that up", she said.

'I could think of someone who would…ME!', she thought.

"Okay then, he'd like to know when, where, and what time.", said Zelda.

Saria had a huge smile on her face. She jumped at Zelda and hugged her. "Thank you soooooo much Zel, you're my BEST friend, and the best match-maker!!!" , she screamed in joy. " I love you like a sister! Wait not even sisters are as great as you!"

Zelda was happy to see her friend like this. Wait till Chris heard the news.

He'd be even happier. 'Mission accomplished' , she thought. She loved making the people, she was the most close to, happy. Now it was her time to be happy. She felt something vibrate in her purse. It was her cell. She picked it up "hello?", she answered.

"Hey its Chris, where are you?" YES!! Now she could tell him the good news!.

"I'm by the snack bar with your girlfriend"

"YES!!!!!!!! … Zel you're the best! I'll be right there, bye!"

Zelda looked at Saria. "He sounds happy", she laughed. Saria gave Zelda one more giant hug again.

"Now its your turn", she pointed behind Zelda. She turned around and saw Link for the first time ,walking with Chris. "Oh my God", she whispered. This guy looked so familiar, and he was perfect! Blond hair and blue eyes and an innocent look on him. "WOW", she exclaimed.

" Hey, I'm Link", said Link.

"Hi I'm Zelda… have we met before you look so… familiar", she said.

"That's exactly what I thought when I first saw you, when I found out you were Chris's sister I knew I had to meet you.", he said sounding exited. She saw Saria and Chris walking away holding hands. Now she was left alone with him. She felt a little annoyed at them for leaving her, but she felt comfortable with him, like she and him were long time friends. She didn't know were this was coming from either, she never had seen him in her whole life. This was one weird experience.

"So tell me about yourself.", said Link

" Well, what do you want to know?", she felt embarrassed not knowing what to say.

" Well your brother told me you were adopted.", he said. Now she felt a little uncomfortable having to explain such a topic. "So am I"

"Really?" She felt better now, she could talk to him and he would understand.

"Yeah, they died when I was a baby, so I never knew them." he said.

"Oh, I'm sorry. If it helps, I didn't know mine either.", she said. "This could be a really good conversation.", she thought. "I really don't know what happened to mine. Sometimes it makes me mad, to think that they're out there having fun or something and forgot all about having a daughter… Wow… the only person I've told that too was my best friend.", she said.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone", he smiled.

"What a great smile he has, no wonder all the girls love him.", she thought.

" Link, your not so bad.", she said and smiled back…
