The Link Life 2.
Raw and Completely Exposed
Time: Three years after The Link Life 1. Link has been fully established as the Hero of Hyrule again, and he is loving every second of it. Sharpened from the blood of battle, Link's sword thrusts and kills any threat that reigns upon the land of Hyrule. Link is the sole protector once more. Hyrule no longer needs to feel threatened. Link took command of his throne, and he confidently felt like nothing would stop him. Everything seemed to be going Link's way once again.
Setting: Termina Field
Because of all the kickass things Link was doing, things were getting dull in Hyrule. He decided to change his setting and live in Termina Field. After a few months, Termina Field was invaded by a massive army of grotesque monsters. Solely by himself, Link rode off to the outskirts of the field and fought off the entire army. His power was unstoppable. His confidence was overwhelming. Link was at the peak of his Heroic Career, and Termina Field adored him for it. Link was living the good life, but not without working hard of course.
(Termina Field) Termina Local Time: 5:45 P.M.
(Clock Town)
::The sun was setting::
::Link returns from fighting the epic battle with an entire army::
::He did not have a single scratch on him::
::His clothes were untouched, and his confidence was piercingly radiant::
::He rode into the town with his head held high, and absorbed just how much the people of Termina really depended on him, respectively::
::He conquered Hyrule, and now he was adoring his new reputation in Termina Field::
::Women fled to the feet of Epona and started screaming at Link with utter joy::
::Link ties up Epona and jumps off::
::The Mayor of Termina Field meets Link with a beer::
::Link raises the beer high and smiles brightly::
Link: (Confidently) I am the best!
::The majority of the town gathers before Link to cheer him on::
Mayor: Would you like to be awarded with an overwhelmingly amount of women?
Link: No sir. I don't feel the need to engage in sexual activities right now. I would just like to savor my accomplishment
Mayer: Very well Link. This town appreciates your hard work!
::The Mayor walks up to Link and puts his arm around him::
Mayer: (Smiling brightly and nudging Link) I would like to have a few words with you… hero.
::Link and the Mayor forcefully make their way through the crowd of Link's raging fans::
(Mayor's Office) Termina Local Time: 6:10 P.M.
::Link and the Major walk into the office::
::The Mayor shuts the door quickly::
::The Mayor was a short, fat man with a bald head::
::He wore black overalls and a colorful outfit::
::He wore a hat that was rounded at the bottom and pointy at the top::
::Link has a seat in front of the Mayor's desk::
::A large window beamed in light from behind the Mayor's Desk::
::It was a very quiet, conservative room, with trophies and pictures of the Mayor's accomplishments::
Mayor: (Loud, commanding voice) I'm glad we are behind closed doors. Link, I have an important proposal to ask of you.
Link: Save more kittens? I can really do more you know.
Mayor: Heavens no. You are the best soldier this town has ever seen Link.
Link: (Confidently) Well I have conquered two lands, the sea, and several video games. That sounds about right.
Mayor: You have done so much after killing that cunt Zelda.
Link: I had to establish a new form of government, lower the crime rate drastically, and make Hyrule able to sustain itself without me.
Mayor: How is Hyrule doing without you? It must be in shambles.
Link: Actually, the crime rate is extremely low. The criminals are so afraid of me there that they are afraid to simply commit a crime. I have several people throughout Hyrule that yell my name from time to time. The criminals run away every time they hear it and the problem is taken care of.
Mayor: Brilliant plan Link! (Changing the subject) Link, I've been noticing you rubbing you're gloves a lot since we have been talking.
Link: (Awkwardly looking down at his gloves) It's nothing…
::But it was something. The brown gloves shielding Link's hands contained the Triforce of Courage, the powerful force that gave Link the ability to be all that he was, an unstoppable Hero. To Link, if he didn't have the Triforce of Courage, he wouldn't be half the Hero he was::
Mayor: Link, would you stay and protect Termina Field? Clear out the crime as you did in Hyrule?
Link: It would be my honor.
Mayor: (Clapping repeatedly) Oh joy! Peace at last!
::The Mayor turns around and smiles at the window::
Mayor: While you're at it, could you save these little tiny kittens that have wondered off recently? I would really love them back.
::There was no response::
Mayor: Link?
::The Mayor turns around::
::Link was gone::
Mayor: I guess the kittens will find their way home…
(Great Bay) Termina Local Time: 6:55 P.M.
::Link had just defeated an army by himself::
::Link was at the top of his game::
::Life was just grand for this young soldier::
::Link skips along the side of the lake::
::He was smiling joyfully::
::He started to sing to himself::
Link: (Singing) I am the best in the Land. Life is great. Hey! Look to my right, a lake…
::Link spots a trippy looking scarecrow ahead of him::
::The scarecrow was dancing along the river, enjoying the same sense of happiness Link had::
::Link's plan was to ignore the trippy scarecrow, but there was something alluring about the scarecrow::
::Link felt as if he knew the scarecrow from sometime before::
::He stops in front of the scarecrow::
Scarecrow: Weeee…. Hehe…. Loooove fire. Looooove magic tricks.
Link: Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?
Scarecrow: Haha. It's you.
Link: What do you mean?
Scarecrow: Explosive Shoes.
Link: (opening one eye) Explosive Shoes, eh?
::Link remembers the name clearly. They were Ecstasy Pills he used to buy years ago during his drug days::
:::They were the most reckless days of Links life, and quite frankly, the most unproductive. He was better off forgetting about that chapter completely::
Scarecrow: Want to take some?
Link: (Without hesitation) Absolutely.
::Link figured he was on top of the world right now::
::The Hero of two lands. Defeating a whole Army by himself::
::Why not try these Explosive Shoes, and celebrate just once. He deserved it::
Link: (Anxiously) Quickly, to my house.
(Clock Town) Termina Local Time: 7:30 P.M.
(Link's House)
::Link and the Scarecrow pop two pills each::
::An hour later, they slowly trance into a high speed ecstasy trip::
Link: I thought I was confident before, but wow.
Scarecrow: Soooo good. Great ecstasy.
::Link and the Scarecrow start to dance::
::Folk music with a mix of trance was blurring in the background::
::Link starts to stomp his feet quickly, dancing to the rhythm of the music::
::The scarecrow starts to spin around hastily, doing a scarecrow dane::
::Link shows off his sword skills::
::The scarecrow shows off his fireball forming skills::
Link: We need beer.
::Link sends the scarecrow to fetch beer::
::The scarecrow comes back with three kegs of Hyrules finest on a roller::
::Link and the Scarecrow drink their livers away::
::Link's world flips upside down::
::He and the Scarecrow were laughing constantly, dancing, and cheering their beers::
::He had several occasions of high fives::
::Link gets ballsy and pops one more ecstasy pill::
::The rest of the night was history::
Day 1
"This is not good"
(Clock Town) Termina Local Time: 8:50 A.M.
(Links House)
::Link awakens in an obliterated body ache::
::His head was ravishingly hurting::
::All of his muscles were sore::
::His hair was matted and sticking up::
::Once he was finally able to clear the blurriness from his vision, he noticed that his entire house was torn to pieces::
Link: (Grumbling) What a night.
::Link stumbles over to the window and opens it::
::The light strikes his eyes like a light arrow just hit him::
::Link shuts his window quickly::
::He notices that the scarecrow was gone::
::He looks down and noticed that an important piece of himself was missing::
::His hands were completely exposed::
::His beloved Triforce of Courage was gone::
Link: I was robbed!
::Instantly, Link felt less courageous::
Link: (In a hung-over rage) No! This can't be happening!
(Outside of Link's House) Termina Local Time: 9:05 A.M.
::Link runs out of his house looking like he just crept out of an underground rave::
::His eyes were wide and bloodshot::
::He proceeded to start shaking random people, literally yelling in their faces::
Link: Have you seen a scarecrow?!
::Link moves to the next innocent bystander::
Link: A scarecrow! Have you seen one?!
Random Person: (Calmly) Not in these neck of the woods. Link, what has gotten into you?
Link: I need to find a scarecrow!
Random Person: (To his friend) Maybe he's just shook up from all the battles he's fought and won.
Random Person #2: Yeah that's it. Link, you're too incredible for your own good.
Link: Listen you ignorant pig's asshole, if I don't find my courage, there will be no more battles won!
::The two random people walk off, laughing and shaking their heads::
Link: (Shocked) I am in so much trouble.
(Mayor's Office) Termina Local Time: 4:30 P.M.
::After several hours of an ongoing investigation, no one had seen the scarecrow::
::Link even searched the Great Bay. No scarecrow::
::He hadn't eaten, he hadn't drank, he hadn't pissed or took a dump::
::He decided to visit the Mayors office for his last act of desperation::
::Link barges into the mayor's office::
::A group of guards were behind Link, staring at him with great concern::
Link: Mayor. Have you seen a scarecrow?
Mayor: What is the matter Link? You look puzzled.
Link: (Quickly) Have you seen a scarecrow today? About five feet tall, walking around, has a circular hat. He looks like a scarecrow who has smoked the finest crack in all of the land. I really need to find this scarecrow. Have you-
Mayor: (Interrupting) Hold on Link. Calm down. No, I have not seen a scarecrow today.
Link: (Pulling his hair) Nooooo….
Mayor: But there is this one place to the North of the Lake. It is called Scarecrow's Wharf. It's where all of the scarecrow's dwell. A very distasteful and immoral place if you ask me. Half of the kidnappings in this village happen because of that place. It is a highly dangerous place. I recommend no soul to ever go near there unless they have a death wish. You should-
::Before the Mayor could finish, Link had already run out of the office, having pushed over two guards on the way::
Mayor: (Smiling) Look at Link, so eager to get the job done. I like that.
(Great Bay) Termina Local Time: 6:21 P.M.
(Scarecrow's Warf)
::It was nighttime::
::A group of scarecrow's sat around a campfire::
::There were all kinds of scarecrows: Magic scarecrows, thieve scarecrows, and fighting scarecrows::
::They were all practicing forming fire from their hands::
::They danced drunkenly around the fire::
::Suddenly, one of the scarecrow's was snatched from behind::
::The scarecrow's mouth was shielded by a random hand::
::The scarecrow was taken behind a tree::
::The random person was Link::
::Link puts the scarecrow in a forceful, intense arm lock::
Link: (aggressively) Where is the trippy scarecrow?
Scarecrow: (In pain) Who are you talking about?!
Link: He stole a pair of gloves that were very dear to me. Where is he?
::Link pulls harder on the scarecrow's arms::
Scarecrow: He left for Hyrule a few hours ago.
Link: Oh really?
Scarecrow: Yes. He seemed highly confident all of a sudden. He was seducing and having sex with beautiful women in Clock Town all day. I have never seen him so confident. I was extremely jealous.
Link: (To himself) Bastard.
Scarecrow: That's all I know. Please don't rip my straw arms off.
Link: I'm gonna rip more then that if you're lying to me.
::Link releases his grip and disappears into the darkness::
Termina Local Time: 8:10 P.M
::Link gathers all of his important items for his trip to Hyrule::
::He packs away three tunics, three pairs of boots, a ridiculous amount of arrows and bombs, every type of power arrow, a bottle of Advil, and a picture of him flexing his muscles in workout clothes (He had to keep his confidence up)::
::Links courage was gone::
::The force that made him the strong, courageous Hero he was::
::He felt a lot less courageous::
::He needed to get that feeling back, at all costs::
::He needed to travel to Hyrule, find that thieving bastard that took his Triforce of Courage, and take back what was rightfully his::
::He decided to get some rest. He was going to need it::
::Tommorow, he will make his move::
