Author's note: Hello! For those of you who don't know me, I'm the guy that wrote the small story Last Stand in the Legend of Zelda section. That story was sort of an extended prologue for this one right here. This is a crossover story between Mass Effect and Legend of Zelda; a strange combination, I know, but once I got the idea it just wouldn't go away. So, without further ado, here's Mass Legends.
Update: For those of you who read this prior to this date, I wanted to let you know that I had to change this chapter a little bit. It turns out that writing in script format is not allowed in the guidelines. Thank you, HammerOfZeeGods, for pointing that out to me.
Disclaimer: I do not own Mass Effect or Legend of Zelda.
Chapter 1: Background
Inside a large white office room, three men sat at a table. Two of them wore dark blue military uniforms, one a captain and the other an admiral, while the third wore a beige and white suit. Scattered across the table were numerous grey datapads, their glowing orange screens revealing the history and service record of the people listed on them. These men had a significant decision lying in front of them; one that could have dire consequences on the galactic community.
"Well, what about Shepard?" The one in the suit asked. "She's a spacer. Lived aboard starships most of her life."
"Military service runs in the family," the captain replied. "Both her parents were in the navy."
"She saw her whole unit die on Akuze. She could have some serious emotional scars."The admiral said.
"Every soldier has scars. Shepard's a survivor." The captain stated.
"There's also Link." The admiral said. "He proved himself during the Blitz. Held off enemy forces on the ground until reinforcements arrived."
The captain nodded in agreement.
"He's the only reason Elysium is still standing." He added.
The suit pondered for a moment, discontent written in his expression.
"…We can't question his courage." He admitted. "His origins, on the other hand…"
"Human or not, he was there when the slavers attacked Mindoir. He knows how tough life can be out there." The captain interjected.
"Are these the kind of people we want protecting the galaxy?" The suit asked, still uncertain of the choices.
"These are the only kind of people who can protect the galaxy." The captain answered.
"…I'll make the calls."
A/n: I know it's a short chapter, but this is just to get the idea out and see what you guys think. There are a few things I want to tell you all before I go any further. 1) If you read my first story, you'll know I don't write large paragraphs loaded with detail. There will be adequate details, but for the most part the word range for the chapters will go no more than 2,500 words. 2) Just as the past Links have used more than a sword and a shield to fight, so will the Link in my story. For close range he will use a blade of some kind, but for enemies farther away he will use a gun. 3) Since I'm starting my second year of college, chapters will be posted sporadically. I'll try to at least get one done per week, but I make no guarantees. 4) There will be pairings in the story, but there will not be a FemshepxLink pairing (in case some of you were wondering). 5) Link will be mute, just like he has been in the games. He will have other forms of communication, but he will not speak verbally.
Thank you for reading this small intro. Don't forget to review.
