Author's Note: I have taken the liberty of creating a character of my own to live, love and die in Hyrule. Although the locations you might recognize the main character will be mine. He will interact and draw main characters in from the games but for starters, the story focuses on my guy. I have also taken most of my material from Ocarina of Time's visual world and layout. There will be more realistic period stuff going on in the story, but I hope to stay true to the light-hearted fantasy of the Hyrulean story.
PrologueThere were three rules every merchant in the Market knew: one, fancy people go to the Market, two, fancy people give fancy money, and three, with fancy money you get fancy taxes. For that reason it was understood among the merchants that sometimes, and only sometimes mind you, they would sell something for twenty rupees and report it to the tax collectors as sold for say, fifteen rupees. The teamsters ignored this practice too, but mostly because they got a little extra out of the deal for themselves. Well, most of them did anyway. The few that didn't (and voiced their disapproval) found they were getting into trouble more often than not. Some might say it was bad luck. Those who knew better found it a good incentive to keep their mouths shut. Still, there were those who didn't know better, and…well…let's just say that life at times is just a little unfair.
