Summary: We all know the story of Ocarina of Time, but prepare for a few twists to this classic Zelda game. What if more people hid their children from the war? What if everyone was swapped with Pokemon characters? But that's far from all that's in store. May bump the rating to T for violence and the creepy bits.

In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule...

Long have I served as the guardian spirit... I am known as the Deku Tree...

The children of the forest, the Kokiri, live here with me.

Each Kokiri has his or her own guardian fairy.

However, there is one boy who does not have a fairy...

Red's POV

I groggily woke up to another bright and cheerful morning in the Kokiri Forest, rolling onto my stomach and shoving my face into my pillow. Mornings were still a bit too bright for me, despite the fact I had been living here just about my entire life. Also despite I've lived here so long, I didn't have a fairy. And Gary flippin' Oak reminded me every day that without a fairy, I'm not even a real man. And here I was thinking that we were the children of the forest. Apparently, I wasn't one of them according to him, so didn't that mean I could actually potentially become a man?

Stupid Oak, making us all call him, 'The Great Gary,' just because he has some special connections with the Great Deku tree.

"Hello, Red! Wake up! The Great Deku Tree wants to talk to you! Red, get up! Hey! C'mon! Can Hyrule's destiny really depend on such a lazy boy?" a small voice pestered me.

I rolled back over and blinked a few times, adjusting to the light. My jaw dropped. It was a fairy.

"You finally woke up! I'm Iris the fairy! The Great Deku Tree asked me to be your partner from now on! Nice to meet you! The Great Deku Tree has summoned you! So let's get going, right now!" she rambled.

Wow. Were all fairies this pushy and repetitive? Well, at least I get to show up Gary! I pulled on my soft leather boots and practically jumped out of my tree house.

"Hey, Red!" my friend Leaf called.

I waved back.

"I see you have a fairy, off to show off to Gary?" she raised an eyebrow.

"Yup! My fairy was assigned to me by the Great Deku Tree himself!" I smiled.

"Nice, you should stop by and show Drew too," she recommended.

"I will!" I nodded, quickly climbing down the ladder, hopping off the last few rungs.

"We don't have time for this! The Great Deku tree needs to talk to you now! You're such a kid!" Iris nagged.

"Gary probably won't let me through until I do something anyway. Besides, he can't be in that much of a rush," I shrugged, strolling towards Drew's house with my hands behind my head.

"Hey, Red!" someone called from up on the bridge, "Come up here!"

I looked up, shielding my eyes from the sun, "I'll be up in a moment, Gardenia!"

"Hurry up!" she yelled.

I found some vines and started climbing them, reaching the top quickly due to how often I did it, "So, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing, I just wanted to meet your fairy! You finally have one! Oh my gosh, it's so cute! What's your name?" she babbled.

I groaned as my fairy and the ginger bonded, wanting to go to Drew's house. So. Long. How has her jaw not fallen off yet?

"But oh my gosh, if he's supposed to be with the Great Deku Tree, I've gotta let you guys do that! Bye!" she practically shoved me off the platform.

"You should be more careful, Red, you're going to fall on someone," Cilan warned.

"Sorry 'bout that, you know how Gardenia gets sometimes," I scratched the back of my head.

"I suppose that makes sense. Hey! You have a fairy!" he noticed.

"Yup! I'm off to go show Drew!" I waved, hurrying off knowing that if I stayed too long my new partner would start nagging me again.

"Okay, have fun with your new companion!" he left for his house.

I jogged a bit, then burst through the doors to his house, "Drew! I finally got a fairy!"

He sat up in his bed like someone had just electrocuted him, "Is this a trick?"

"No! Why would you think it was a trick?" I asked.

He gave me a look, "Remember last year's festival?"

"Yeah, but this is real! Would I lie about something this important to me?" I explained.

"It's just weird, my fairy disappeared," he stood up.

That settled, "Oh. Well, I'm sure you'll find her eventually, right? You're supposed to be partners for life."

Drew's fairy was really special to him, he got it younger than any Kokiri ever had, and he kept to himself for the first few years he was here. He didn't have any relatives, never left his house, and no one really knew why. In fact, his fairy was how I got to be friends with Drew. They were by far the closest of fairy and Kokiri, everyone knew that. Even though they all were pretty connected, theirs stood out tremendously.

"I mean, Roselia's going to come back, there's no way she would just leave," I continued.

"I guess," he sighed, "Looks like you finally caught up to the rest of us. I'll have you know that you'll never have as good a fairy s Roselia, though," he smirked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Before Iris starts reminding me again, I have to go to the Deku Tree for something," I started my way out the door.

"Good luck getting past Gary," he sat back down on his bed.

I jogged across town, careful to not even make eye contact with the townsfolk for fear of long conversations. I have a job, and by how much my fairy keeps reminding me, it's pretty important.

I stopped at the entrance to the path to get to the Deku Tree.

"Hey you! "Mr. No Fairy!" What's your business with the Great Deku Tree? Without a fairy, you're not even a real man!" Gary sneered. His jaw dropped, "What?! You've got a fairy?! Say what? The Great Deku Tree actually summoned you? Whaaaaaaat?! Why would he summon you and not the great Gary Oak? This isn't funny..."

"Maybe he just likes me more," I grumbled, "After all, I don't turn other Kokiri into my servants to do yard work."

"I don't believe it!" he ignored me, "You aren't even fully equipped yet! How do you think you're going to help the Great Deku Tree without both a sword and shield ready?"

"You don't have a sword or a shield," I pointed out.

"The Great Gary Oak doesn't need one, but... If you want you pass here, you should at least equip a sword and shield! Sheesh!" he snorted.

I sulkily walked away.

"That stupid Gary! He calls himself great, but the only thing he is is a great big annoyance!" Iris fumed, "How are you going to get to the Deku Tree now? We don't have the time to play these games!"

"I know, but I think I know where to get a shield," I replied with a tinge of hope lining my voice, "Come on! Let's go find us a sword and shield!"

I apologize for any OOCness, as you can see, I tried to stick with the game script in some areas. This will be my first crossover! Yay! I have a lot of interesting things planned, so stay tuned!
