Alone

by zzzzz4235

Link awakens to find himself alone in a strange forboding land. There is no sign of intelligence, and not even anyone trying to kill him. Can Link find his friends and find out where he is? Or will he wander until his bones are dust and his mind is mush?

1. Awakening

Link jolted awake, spazzing and squirming as he let out a scream. He fell and hit his head on the rock below and jumped up. He looked around him, and noticed he was in a cave made of brown rock. Or, more of a ravine. He looked up and he could see the the sky was dark, but light too. Like the sun was setting. Or rising. What's going on? He thought. Where am I? "HELLO?" He shouted. No answer.

He felt like he was asleep for a thousand years. He stretched his arms and his back as it made a satisfying crack. He looked around, and he noticed his master sword lying on the ground with his shield on top. He picked them up and sheathed them. Now to get out of here and find some answers.

"Hnng," He climbed the rock wall, grabbing rock and pulling himself up. The ravine was about 100 feet deep, so it took a while. He pulled himself up and over the final ledge. He lay there, and closed his eyes. He opened his eyes a little while later and stood up. Looking around, he saw nothing but rocky desert and mountains. Great, he thought. And then, he walked.

Link had been walking for an hour and he noticed something very strange. Neither the sun nor the moon had risen, and the sky was empty and green. A green sky, he thought. What happened?

As he wandered, he felt hopeless. He felt like an empty shell and dragged himself along the surprisingly flat terrain. Sometimes he closed his eyes, and half sleeped and half walked. It wasn't until about three hours that he noticed change.

First of all, it was getting colder. Wind started blowing, he could see his breath. Rock turned to ice and snow. He crossed his arms and shivered.

After a while, he got used to it. But there was another problem. Food. And water. He searched the land, which instead of being flat, was hillier and rockier. He checked around corners and nooks. But there was no sign of intelligence anywhere.

After about an hour of wandering, he slipped and hit his head. He looked into the ice, and saw there was water underneath. Can't get into that. He thought. But he wasn't that thirsty anyway. Which was a little odd. Past the frozen lake he saw a cave. He headed towards the cave and shouted, "HELLO? ANYONE?"

But no answer.

He decided to curl up and rest inside the warmth of the cave.
