In the vast land of Hyrule, there is a town. Well, there are many towns, but none such as this one. It is said that this town was cursed long ago, by an evil warlock: Ganondorf. Now, even though the Hero of Time, Link, had vanquished this Dark Lord, the town was still cursed. Every full moon, people reported that someone they loved went missing. But, somehow no one else even remembered this person. Then one month, no one went missing. Or rather, no one reported anyone going missing. Many moons passed and no one else had disappeared, so the people of this town in Hyrule assumed the demon had finally left for good. A thousand years passed and everything was quiet—in all of Hyrule. Princess Zelda was born many times, and the hero named Link was not needed. Peace filled the country, no monsters roamed its luscious fields and forests.
Then, a babe was born. Not the royal Zelda, nor the hero Link, and not even a new Ganondorf. No, it was just a babe. But why, you may ask, does this child affect Hyrule? Why are we focusing on this one? Because, dear reader, this is whom our story is about. She was not one of the noble Zoras, or a hardy Goron, and not a child of the forest, a Kokiri. She was a peasant, a farmer's child. Her mother toiled in the field all day collecting wheat, and her father herded goats. She was not even born into the town which was spoken of earlier, but in a community of six houses. In the centre was a well, where all nineteen residents drew their water. There was a barn to keep the horses and goats, and large open fields for the children to play. The mother of this particular child wasn't one of prophecy, wasn't the seventh of a seventh, didn't have difficulty in the pregnancy or birthing. The girl was just a regular child of Hyrule. But somehow, she held the fate of the world in her hands. This is where our story begins.

Mel: alright guys, gonna start a new story. I know Ganondorf isn't *technically* a warlock, but he is now. And I know that the "every full moon" and "thousand years" are part of Okami, and it didn't occur to me until after I wrote it, and I didn't feel like changing it. I'm not giving up on Legend of Dark Link, I'm just kiiiiiinda stuck.
Dark: like hell you are! You've got like, ei—
Mel: *smothers Dark's mouth* *laughs nervously* oookay...shutting him up now. I'll upload LoDL as soon as I can. Virtual cookies for reviews! :3 oh and sorry for the shortness of this ugh, it's basically just an introduction. Do the disclaimer, Dark.
Dark: *rolls eyes, glowering* Melanie doesn't own The Legend of Zelda or any of its characters. Why didn't you do that at the beginning?
Mel: didn't feel like it. Anyways, R&R guys!
