Recently I was playing Zelda and the Ocarina of Time which is and always will be my favorite game and story of all time, but anyway. As I was sitting there with my friend Crystal, I started thinking about what Link could possibly thinking if he was a real person put into these situations. Mainly to entertain Crystal I began saying whatever popped into my head which, minus the cuss words, turned out to be pretty funny, so she said write them down and write a story about it. So here it is. I will admit the format is weird. I have written several stories from my character's point of view but I didn't want to do that so all the italicized stuff is Link's thoughts and the rest is either dialogue or narration. If it gets to difficult, let me know, but I'm trying to keep it understandable.

PS: Much of the script is from the actual game with slight alterations.

Getting Started

"Huh, what the—"

Unless I am mistaken there is a floating blue thing circling my bed. Jeez, I knew I shouldn't have eaten so much last night.

"Link, how can the fate of Hyrule depend on such a lazy boy?"

Did I hear that right? Fate of Hyrule? When did that happen? Okay curiosity will cause me to get up. So, what is this blue ball? Can't be a fairy. I don't have one. Unless the Great Deku Tree finally sent me one.

"I'm Navi the Fairy. The Great Deku Tree sent me to you. He's summoned you. C'mon. The fate of Hyrule depends on you"

Follow the annoying blue ball hyped up on caffeine or sleep? Normally I would choose sleep but I wanna know what this is all about.

Link got up and walked outside where his best friend, Saria, was running up. Chances are she knew Link was being summoned. She was always well informed on anything happening in the village. He jumped down to greet her.

"Wow! A fairy! Finally a fairy came to you, Link"

"Thanks Saria. Yeah, apparently the Deku tree is a callin'"

"I'll wait for you here. Get going. Go see the Deku Tree"

Link walked along toward the Deku Tree path. Kokiri everywhere would stop and congratulate him on his new fairy. Others stopped so they could offer their knowledge on how to use a fairy. He finally reached the pathway to the Deku Tree but the scrawny red headed Kokiri named Mido stood in his path.

"What do you think you're doing?" he asked.

"I was summoned"

"What? Wait, what was that? You've got a fairy?!"

I don't think I said a thing about a fairy. Course when has Mido ever really cared about these small things called words that come out of people's mouths?

"Yeah, like I said, the Deku Tree sent the glowing ball and summoned me"

"Say what? The Great Deku Tree actually summoned you? Whaaaaaaat?! Why would he summon you and not the great Mido?"

Link couldn't help but laugh.

"This isn't funny…I don't believe it! You aren't even equipped to see him. How do you think you're going to help the Great Deku Tree without a sword and shield?"

You stupid little punk. One day you will get yours and I'll be the one to give it to you.

Okay sword and shield. Where in KokiriForest am I going to get those?

"Link?" Navi said but he didn't hear.

I could make a shield. Yeah, that could work.

"Link."

But what about the sword? I don't know what to do there.

"LINK!!" Navi flew right in his face and kicked him in the nose.

"Ow! What do you think you're doing?"

"Stop thinking aloud for two seconds and listen!" she yelled stomping her tiny foot on his nose.

"Ow! Cut it out"

"The Great Deku Tree sent me to help you"

"Hmph" Link said crossing his arms

How can this annoying ball help me?

"First, the Kokiri sword is past the training grounds up on the hill. Second, scrounge up some rupees and go buy a shield at the shop"

Okay that helps.

Link wasn't about to admit such a fact out loud though as he walked up to the training grounds arms still folded.

"Okay, night light. Where to? OW!"

Navi had grabbed his bangs and pulled out several hairs.

"I thought fairies did nice things"

"We treat our partner as we are treated"

"You don't see me yanking out your hair"

"Over there should be a small tunnel" Navi said ignoring Link.

Stupid little pixie. Making me crawl through here first. She glows for crying out loud!

Once Link made it through he had a feeling Navi was neglecting to tell him something. However once he spotted two blue rupees he set to getting them.

"Hey, little bit, how much will I need to get a shield?"

"Hmph, little bit" she muttered. "40. You need 30 more"

"Is the ground supposed to be shaking like this?"

"I'm not on the ground so I don't know. Ooof!"

Link grabbed her around the waist and forced her to sit on the ground. He smirked as she shook violently due to her size.

"Okay. OKAY!!" she cried. "Just get the sword already"

Link laughed and headed along a beaten path. The ground still rumbled and seemed to be getting worse

"There!" Navi said flying to a wooden chest. "Open it"

No, I thought I'd stare at it and hope the sword magically appears in my hands.

Link opened it up and leaned over the rim pulling out a sturdy little sword. Then he was about to step back on the path when a huge rolling boulder went past nearly flattening him if he'd been any farther out. He fell back.

"Aren't you supposed to warn me of things like that?!"

"Sorry" she said insincerely

Link ran out as fast as he could to avoid the boulder then back out through the tunnel so that he was in the village again.

"Learn a few fighting maneuvers while we're up here" Navi instructed.

Even though he didn't really want to, he did. Course while he was there, Navi fell asleep under his hat.

I need money for that shield, and while this little squirt is asleep I should be able to get enough.

Link went through the grass and under rocks where he knew people stashed rupees.

Hmm. Mido's house. He's always got a chest full.

So he snuck into Mido's house and began going through all his things. He grabbed as much as he could but unfortunately all the clinking woke Navi.

"Link, this isn't your house. What are you doing?" she demanded

"Getting money to buy a shield"

"Link!"

Navi grabbed his ear and started pulling him out. After they were back out, Link pulled out his rupees and counted out forty so he could buy a shield. Navi refused to talk to him as he walked in a bought it with no remorse since he was after all buying it with dirty money. Then he strutted over to Mido again.

"Back again?"

"Yeah"

"I already told you—"

Link smugly brought his shield around.

"Eh, what's that?! Oh, you have a Deku Shield"

Then he unsheathed his new sword.

"And what's THAT?! Is that the Kokiri Sword?! GOOD GRIEF!! Well even with all that stuff a wimp is still a wimp. I, the great Mido, will never accept you as one of us! Shoot! How did you get to be the favorite of Saria and the Great Deku Tree, huh?!"

Mido grumbled and got out of the way so that Link could head down the path.

"Ah!" A Deku Baba shot out of the ground. Link swung stupidly at it and did kill it but all that remained after was a Deku stick.

"Keep that. It will help you"

Yeah a stick will do me a whole lotta good. Whoa. I always forget how big the Great Deku Tree really is.

"Great Deku Tree…I'm back!"

"Oh... Navi...Thou hast returned...Link...Welcome...Listen carefully to what I, the Deku Tree, am about to tell thee...Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless, and full of nightmares...As the servants of evil gain strength, a vile climate pervades the land and causes nightmares to those sensitive to it...Verily, thou hast felt it... Link... The time has come to test thy courage... I have been cursed...I need you to break the curse with your wisdom and courage. Dost thou have courage enough to undertake this task?"

"Yeah, course" he lied since he was so confused.

The Deku Tree continued to explain about the three goddesses and then about who cursed him. Link got comfortable but he almost got too comfortable.

Wow, he never stops talking. And I thought Mido was long winded. As if I didn't know half of this. Just don't shut your eyes Link, you'll fall asleep for sure and the Great Deku Tree might send you away. Jeez, I got it. Man, desert, evil, curse, Triforce, goddesses, courage. So what do I do?

"So again, Link, dost thou have courage enough to undertake this task?"

"Yeah, sure. Break the curse, then I'm done"

"Then enter, brave Link, and thou too, Navi... Navi the fairy...Thou must aid Link... And Link...When Navi speaks listen well to her words of wisdom..."

Great, now I'm stuck with her. But go inside. I really didn't think this through.

Okay, that's what I have so far. Please tell me what you guys thought and if I get enough good responses I might keep it going. Oh and just as a sidenote, this story is completely dedicated to my friend Crystal who is the reason I write half of what I do. Thanks so much for that Crystal and I hope you like what I came up with.
