Chapter One
A Thousand Years of Sleep
Before The Ancient Battle, The Sealed Grounds
As Link said his goodbyes to Zelda, something tore at his heart. He never had this feeling before, nor would it happen again. She ran toward him and they embraced, saying goodbye once more, and as she parted him Link took in Zelda's sweet smelling hair. Zelda rested her hand on his and said, "Ever since we were kids, I'd always be the one to wake you up when you slept in. But this time, when all of this is over, will you come to wake me up?" The orange crystal started to form around her, too quickly for him to answer.
"Of course I will," he said as he placed his hands on it. She closed her eyes and smiled, as she drifted off into her 1000 years of sleep.
Link sat on the stairs for some while, crying. The Temple felt emptier than before, making it seem like a graver and not a sanctuary, full of empty souls. Impa walked in and placed her hand on his shoulder.
"We should get going now Link, before it gets dark," she started walking away slowly."We need to go back to Skyloft and rest, you have been through too much today, but I will explain more tomorrow."
As Link mounted his loftwing, he saw the doors sealed and a tear ran down his face into the night sky.

Link walked into the Knight Academy, up to his dorm. He sat down the Goddess Harp and the Master Sword on his desk. He took his over clothes off and threw them into the laundry bin. He laid down in his bed and stared at the ceiling for quite some time, wondering when he will see Zelda next.

The next morning, Impa had discussed why she had to hide in the Temple. " It was to protect her from Demise and Ghirahim, lord of all demons. He is the one trying to find her and start world chaos." She also added," The next time you will see her is when you open the Gate of Time, but if you do Zelda will be revealed and Demise will destroy all of us."
Link had known he would have to talk to the three Goddesses, Nayru, Din, and Farore to open into the Sacred Gate.
