Hey everyone! There's two things I want to point out about this fan fiction. First off I'm new to this whole fan fiction thing and I most likely have no idea what I'm doing. I like both Once Upon A Time and Zelda, and I thought they could mix pretty well seeing as everyone from the enchanted forest kind of came from a medieval setting.
Second, I want to say that this is a crossover between Zelda and Once Upon A Time. It takes place around the end of the wicked witch arc just before rumple kills Zelena (spoiler alert) and in the ocarina of time game just before link wakes up from his seven year sleep. also many characters from both stories will appear. if you haven't watched Once Upon a time I recommend that you do otherwise prepared to be horribly confused.
So anyways like every episode of Once Upon A Time there is past and present segments. if it has ****PAST**** Above it it's a past segment. if it has ****PRESENT**** above it, it's a present segment.
And without further adieu, please enjoy the first chapter of "Once upon a time in Hyrule."
****PAST****
Zelda was in her personal garden, staring into the throne room through the window. She knew that soon Ganondorf was to enter and swear allegiance to her father the king. She also had no doubt in her mind, that this vow was a lie. Suddenly she heard light footsteps from behind. She turned around to see a young boy in a green tunic with a small fairy hovering around him. Anyone else in her position would have called the guards and have him thrown out without a second thought. But Zelda could sense a great deal about this boy.
Zelda: Who are you? How did you get past the guards? Wait, is that a fairy?
Navi: Um, last I checked I was.
Zelda: Then, are you from the Forest?
Link: Yeah, how did you know?
Zelda: Then you wouldn't happen to have the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, would you?
Link smiled and pulled a shining emerald from his pocket.
Zelda: I knew it!
****PRESENT****
Belle had just returned Rumpelstiltskin's dagger to him, trusting him to let the woman who killed his son live. The dark one turned around and after a romantic speech handed Belle the dagger and asked,
Rumpelstiltskin: Belle, will you marry me.
Belle would have said yes in a second, however before the words could leave her lips, the ground began to shake. The laughing to two elderly ladies could be heard across the town. Rumple and Belle ran outside to see what was going on. To their shock half of the town of Storybrooke was covered in fire and the other half frozen in ice.
Rumpelstiltskin: Bloody hell, what are those two even doing here?
Belle: Wait, you mean you know who did this?!
Emma came running over to the Mr gold's pawn shop, bringing Regina, David, Snow, and Henry with her.
Emma: Belle, Gold, thank god you're all right.
Regina: Okay, does anyone care to explain why everything in town is either freezing or frying?
Rumpelstiltskin: I know exactly who did this.
Snow White: Really, who?
Rumpelstiltskin: Koume and Kotake, otherwise known as Twinrova.
David: What are they doing here?
Rumpelstiltskin: My guess is vengeance
Kotake: Would you listen to this fool Koume?
Koume: Does he really think we'd waste our time with payback Kotake?
Two old witches hovered towards the heroes of Storybrooke on flying broomsticks.
Rumpelstiltskin: Twinrova, how awful to see you again. You're both looking repulsive as always.
Kotake: Well at least you haven't mellowed with age.
Koume: I believe the last time we met was... when was it? Oh yes!
Kotake and Koume: WHEN YOU COST US THE HYLIAN WAR!
Belle: Wait, so if you're not here for vengeance, then why are you here?
Kotake: The dark curse!
Koume: Hand it over!
Emma: And if we say "No?"
Kotake and Koume began to glow with flaming and freezing aura.
Kotake: Then with my flame I will burn you to the bone!
Koume: And with my frost I will freeze you to your souls!
As the witches hovered around the on their broomsticks. The heroes stood close together. Rumpelstiltskin summoned an odd shield in a cloud of smoke.
Henry: Want is that?
Rumpelstiltskin: This is the mirror shield. It's how I beat them last time. It has the power to absorb and repel magic.
Kotake: We remember that shield.
Koume: But last time we weren't taking you seriously.
Kotake: This time we are going all out
Koume: Ready when you are sister
Kotake and Koume: Twinrova Double Dynamite Attack!
The two witches suddenly began circling around each other going faster and faster until suddenly they merged together. They suddenly fused into a beautiful young woman glowing with both aura of the two witches. She held a flaming rod in one hand and a frozen rod in the other.
Twinrova: Now then, About that dark curse.
Rumpelstiltskin held up the mirror shield.
Twinrova: Fine then.
The fused witch shot a ball of fire at the shield. The mirror shield began glowing with heat of the spell. The fused witch then shot a ball of ice. When the ice touched the shield it stopped glowing.
Rumpelstiltskin: What the...
Twinrova: We have you and your shield figured out from last time. The mirror shield can only absorb one type of magic at a time. If you try to absorb a second spell, the two will cancel each other out!
Twinrova continued to shoot at the mirror shield switching between fire and ice spells. Shooting faster and faster until they finally knocked the shield out of the dark one's hand. When the shield touched the ground it vanished in a cloud of smoke and appeared in Twinrova's hand.
Twinrova: Well I suppose we can use it for something.
Rumpelstiltskin raised his hand up and whisked himself, his fiance, and the heroes of story Brooke to safety.
Twinrova: We're not giving up Dark One! We came to get a dark curse and we're not leaving without it.
****PAST****
Zelda: When the goddesses created Hyrule they left behind a sacred triangle called The Triforce. It is said to grant the wishes of whoever touches it. According to the legend, if someone with a righteous heart makes a wish Hyrule will have golden age of prosperity. But if someone with an evil mind has his wish granted then Hyrule will be plunged into misery. And so to prevent this, our ancestors sealed the Triforce in the sacred realm, the doorway to it being the temple of time. To get into it you need the spiritual stones of the forest, of fire, and of water. Also you will need the ocarina of time. That is a sacred treasure guarded by the Royal family of Hyrule.
Link: So then, you think this Ganondorf guy is after the Triforce.
Zelda: There is no doubt about it.
Zelda pointed to the window she was spying through.
Zelda: I was spying though this window. Would you like to look?
Link stepped over to the window and saw a green skinned man with evil eyes kneeling.
Zelda: That is Ganondorf. As you can see, he is swearing allegiance to my father but I am sure he is not sincere. The dark clouds in my dream, they must resemble that man.
As Link looked through the window at the desert king, Ganondorf noticed Link watching him and turned his head towards the window. Link stepped backwards startled at the glare this man gave.
Zelda: What happened? Did he see you?
Link: Yeah, he saw me.
Zelda: Don't worry, he doesn't know we suspect anything.
Link: Did you tell your father about the dream?
Zelda: Yes, but he didn't believe it was a prophecy. However I can sense that man's intentions. I'm afraid that he is going to destroy Hyrule.
Link: Don't worry, I won't let that happen. You said he needs three stones to get into the sacred realm. Well I already have one, I just need to beat him to the other two.
Zelda: You would do all of that for me?
Link answered Zelda with a smile.
Zelda: I'll have my attendant, Impa, escort you out. The spiritual stone of fire is held with the gorons on Death Mountain. The Zoras, at the end of Zora's River hold the stone of Water. I will protect the Ocarina of Time with my life. Ganondorf will not have it.
Link: I won't let you down!
****PRESENT****
As Twinrova separated and flew over Story Brooke, Rumpelstiltkin and the heroes of story Brooke hid in granny's dinner with granny, Robin Hood, and Hook.
Hook: So Dark one, mind telling us why these witches want the dark curse?
Rumpelstiltskin: Well you see these witches lead a tribe known as the Gerudo. The problem however is that they live in a harsh desert. They once tried to fix that by starting a war to take over a world known as Hyrule. However the king made a deal with me, wanting me to win the war for him. They must want this curse to rewrite Hyrule so that the Gerudo rule it
Regina: And what exactly did you get out of this deal?
Rumpelstiltskin: The location of the Dark Curse.
Snow White: And now they want to know where the curse is.
Emma: Well they won't get it. I will protect this town with my life.
Rumpelstiltskin: Dearie, if you go out there you're just going to get killed.
Emma: So what then, we just sit here and do nothing?
David: No, we come up with a plan, then we stop Twinrova.
As they talked Twinrova stumbled across the local sheriff station with a girl that many people despise trying to catch they're attention. The witches dove down to the barred window of the jail cell.
Zelena: Hello ladies, tell me are you responsible for this remarkable renovation over the town.
Kotake: Tell us, would you happen to know where the Dark Curse is?
Zelena: Why yes, I think I have an idea where my sister might be keeping it. Knowing that bitch, it's probably in her vault. Tell you what, if you let me out, I'll take you straight to it.
Koume: Deal!
The witches fired their magic at the wall of the sheriff station and made a massive whole in the wall of Zelena's cell. Zelena stepped through the hole grinning and chuckling.
Zelena: Right this way ladies.
Zelena eagerly led Twinrova to Regina's vault. As they went inside the witches began searching for the dark curse. Zelena then opened a small drawer in a jewelry box and found her necklace which was the source of her power. She put it on without hesitation.
Koume: KOTAKE I FOUND IT!
Kotake: Let me see Koume!
The witches read the recipe for the curse together.
Kotake: That is definitely the dark curse, Koume.
The witches looked at Zelena.
Kotake: You've proven yourself very useful.
Koume: How would you like to have more power that puts even the Dark One to shame.
Zelena: I'm listening.
Kotake: All you have to do...
Koume: Is swear your undying allegiance to Lord Ganondorf!
Zelena: Sign me up.
Kotake, Koume, and Zelena were whisked away to Hyrule, vanishing in a cloud of fire and ice.
Back in Hyrule, Ganondorf was in bed with his fiance, "Nazara," queen of the Gerudo. Her daughter Nabooru had been missing for sometime, and so she found comfort in the love between her and Ganondorf. As their lips were pressed against each other's they heard the sound of Kotake yelling,
Kotake: Lord Ganondorf! We have found the dark curse.
Ganondorf and Nazara smiled as they got themselves dressed and and headed downstairs to the Twinrova sisters and Zelena.
Ganondorf: And who is this?
Zelena took a bow to Ganondorf in a polite manner and a smile.
Zelena: You must be Lord Ganondorf. I am Zelena, and it is an absolute honor to meet you.
Kotake: This woman led us to the Dark Curse.
Koume: She's proven herself very useful.
The witches had started pouring ingredients into the cauldron. They then handed Lord Ganondorf the recipe pointing at a particular ingredient.
Kotake: There is just one more ingredient we need.
Ganondorf: Well that seems simple enough.
Nazara: What is the last ingredient my love.
Ganondorf shoved his fist inside of Nazara and ripped out her heart.
Ganondorf: The heart of the thing I love the most.
Ganondorf held the heart over the cauldron and crushed it into dust. As the dust fell into the cauldron, smoke began to rise from it and cover the skies of Hyrule.
****PAST****
Link held the spiritual stone of fire in his right hand, and the stone of water in his left.
Link: Well Navi, this makes all three spiritual stones.
Navi: We should head back to the castle then. Zelda is waiting for us.
Link and Navi eagerly rushed through the Hyrule field. As they approached the castle town gate it began to open. As they walked in however they nearly run over by a white horse the was carrying Zelda and her attendant Impa. As Zelda rode out, she saw Link and threw the Ocarina of Time into the creek behind him. She trusted to know what to do from there.
Link then turned around and saw Ganondorf, riding a black horse.
Ganondorf: ARGH! I lost her! Hey you, kid! You must have seen the white horse gallop past here just now! Which way did it go? ANSWER ME!
Link took a step backwards, and then drew out his sword.
Ganondorf: Heh heh heh, so you want a piece of me? I like your attitude kid.
Ganondorf held up his hand and created a ball of electricity in his fingertips and threw it at Link, knocking him straight down.
Ganondorf: Do you know who your dealing with? I am Ganondorf! And I will rule the world.
Ganondorf rode out through the field on his horse hoping to find Zelda and Impa.
Link then dove into the river and retrieved the Ocarina of Time that Zelda had thrown into it. Suddenly the Ocarina began to glow and he saw a vision of princess Zelda speaking to him.
Zelda: Link, when you hold this Ocarina in your hand I won't be around anymore. I wanted to wait for you, but i couldn't delay even longer. All I could do is leave you the ocarina and this song. This song opens the door of time.
Zelda played a mysterious song. Link the followed on his new ocarina of time, memorizing every note.
Zelda: Go to the Temple of Time and play this song. Please Link, you must protect the Triforce.
At that point Link ran through the Castle town seeing a great battle between Hyrule and the Gerudo being waged. Link then found himself in the temple of time. There was a massive door with a stand in front of it, that had three alcoves, each one in the shape of a spiritual stone. He place a stone into each alcove and played the song of time that Zelda taught him in his vision. Suddenly the stones and the door began to glow. The door slowly opened itself. Link stepped through the door and saw a shining sword, wedged into a pedestal.
Navi: Link, that's the legendary blade of Evil's Bane. That's the Master Sword.
Link slowly approached the Master Sword. He wrapped his hands around the handle and pulled the sword out. Suddenly a blue light began to fill the area around him. Unknown to Link and Navi however, they were watched by a familiar man.
Ganondorf: Just as I thought, you held the keys to the sacred realm. I owe it all to you kid. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
****PRESENT****
Robin Hood: Wait, somethings not right. Why are the Twinrova sisters suddenly quiet.
David: Are they hiding?
Belle: Maybe they gave up and left?
Snow White: I doubt it, they made it clear they wouldn't leave without the dark curse.
Emma: You don't think they found it do you?
Rumpelstiltskin: Of course they didn't, did they?
Regina: My vault, that's where I keep it.
Rumpelstiltskin, Emma, Hook, Belle, Regina, Snow White, David, and Henry rushed to Regina's Vault. They stepped inside to see that it had been ransacked. Regina looked into the box where she kept the Dark Curse and saw it was empty.
Regina: Damn it! They have it!
Rumpelstiltskin: More than likely they've already gone to Hyrule with it.
Robin Hood: How did they know where it was?
Regina: Forget how they knew where it was, how did they get to it? I had this vault sealed with blood magic. There's no way they could have opened it!
Henry quickly remembered that there was only one person in Story Brooke who was blood related to Regina.
Henry: Which is why they didn't. They busted out Zelena, and she opened it for them.
Rumpelstiltskin: Let Zelena live despite everything she's done. Guess who's brilliant idea that was.
Regina: Oh so now your gonna go on that I should have just let you murder her?
Rumpelstiltskin: Do you want my honest answer?
Emma: Look, it doesn't matter now. What does matters now is that we go after them. There's no trelling what there going to do with that curse.
Rumpelstiltskin: Yes but do you mind explaining how. They are in an entirely different world. And now we don't even have a dark curse to bring us to it.
Sheik: But you have me.
The looked to the entrance to the vault and saw a young man wearing the strangest outfit. He held a harp in his hand.
Belle: Who are you?
Sheik: I am Sheik, the last of the Sheikah. They are most likely casting that curse as we speak, and while I can't stop them from casting it, I can take you to someone who will be able to break it. Hold on tight, we are going to Hyrule.
Regina: You're going to take us between worlds.
Sheik held up his harp and explained,
Sheik: This harp was once wielded by the goddess Hylia. And by playing the song of soaring on it. I can take us anywhere.
Sheik played a strange song on his harp. Suddenly, the winds began to blow so hard around everyone that they could not see anything. They then found themselves in a strange temple. There were then dark clouds looming over the area.
Sheik: Don't worry, this temple is sacred ground. The dark curse will not touch this place. We are safe so long as we stay in it. We will simply wait until the curse has taken its toll. And now for the one who I mentioned. I would like you all to meet the Hero of Time.
Suddenly a blue light filled the back room of the temple. When the light faded there was a seventeen year old boy wearing a green tunic, with a fairy floating around him.
To be continued.
