Well, Here we go. First Fanfiction out of my writers block. Let me know if it's alright.
I do not on Legend of Zelda, Nintendo, Legend of Neil (Watch on Youtube, where the character name comes from), or any of the many Link jokes I make in this story. The ones that are funny are from me.
Long ago, in a faraway land of Hyrule, Darkness fell. A dark mage named Agahnim spread terror and fear through the land with his magic prowess, and held it under a dark enchantment for years. But his apprentice, Ganondorf, grew more powerful and less patient with his master every day, until eventually he destroyed Agahnim in a duel and became the ruler of Earth. Whereas Agahnim would just allow the populous of Hyrule to live their normal lives, Ganondorf would demand tribute and sacrifice. He was a ruler without mercy, a true dark lord, who held the land under a tyrant's fist. Until one day…
A hero in green clothes rose up and challenged the dark one. With the aid of Princess Zelda's magic, this hero of time battled Ganondorf on two fronts, his time, and seven years prior, when he and Zelda were children under the rule of Agahnim. In the end, the dark lord was defeated, and his magic undone by the Master Sword, a bane to all evil. The hero would then grow old, and die in peace. Before his end, he resealed the Master Sword, and told all within the sound of his voice to guard it, for it would be needed to destroy Ganondorf once again.
Many dismissed this statement as the ravings of an old man, one who had lost his way in battle, but Zelda knew better. After becoming queen herself, she set about a guard of the sword, and an increase in security. "For if he does return, it will truly be a dark day in our history." She stated.
Long after her death, dark wolves were sighted throughout the Ordona region. Something was starting…
Link woke to his mother's screams. A nine year old boy, with long brown hair and a lithe, tall body, Link had never heard his mother scream the way she did. Against his own judgment, he rushed out of the house, into the pouring rain. He then stopped, fearful of what to do. He saw three wolves, dark as the night, but with surging red veins. Link couldn't move. His fear paralyzed him, for he knew these wolves would kill him if he tried to stop them. But he remembered his mother, and a power flowed through him. It was like his fear was receding, and in its place was willpower and rage, and lots of it. He lifted a substantial sized long stick, before dashing over to the beasts. His rage moving him on, he screamed "Haiiiiii!!!!!!"
The wolves, who had not expected a direct attack, turned to the screaming boy with a stick, just in time for the leader to suffer a sickening blow to the face. The other two became alert, leaping towards Link with killer's intent. Link stood his ground and spun around in a pivot on one foot, smacking both with a spinning attack. All of the creatures fell to the ground, crushed. Link let out a sigh, looked out. His family's barn was far out from Ordon Village proper, but had a decent plot of land to farm and a large barn. Link turned to search for his mom, but whipped straight into a dark cloaked boy that appeared his age.
Lightning surged, and thunder cracked as the boy laughed. He wore a dark blue cloak and had pale skin and purple hair. He wore a blue cap to cover most of this hair, and his teeth all had points, making his smile fearsome. "So…you are the chosen one." He said, his smile growing wider. "You shall be no trouble." And with those words, the boy raised his arm and pointed to Link. Immediately, Link's head began to burn. His scream was now full of fear and pain, instead of the courage it displayed moments ago. Before blacking out, Link noticed his hand was glowing gold. Or rather, there was a golden triangle he had never noticed before. "No trouble at all." The boy said, rising into the air. Before leaving, he cradled his hand, and a black fire came from it. Laughing, he tossed the fireball into the barn and it immediately caught with flame. Satisfied, he left the farm, watching as the flames crawled nearer to Link's inert body.
