The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Future
Prologue
Professor David Boditch watched out the small circular window of the submarine as the surface of the ocean and The Mary Queen disappeared. It would be a long a dive, about an hour to two to get to the level of the sea he was trying to get. He laid back and relaxed.
Two weeks ago the steam liner The King of the Seas had sunk and almost all aboard had went down with her. It was the worst sea disaster since the Titanic and many people had lost loved ones. The news world had jumped on it and now it was all over the news. For the two whole weeks there had been nothing else on. All the talk shows and news channels on TV had been about it. Now it was his job to go down and try to identify what had caused the sinking of her.
Really all Professor Boditch wanted was to get on TV. No longer would he have to sit and watch the other professors sit and talk to Anderson Copper or Oprah. He would be sitting there with them, and become famous! He would leave his small shack that was called a lab and get a new job at a University.
A red light went on to tell Boditch that he had arrived at the sit of The King of the Seas. He went to the window again and looked out into the haze.
The hull of the ship was about 15 feet away. He could still see the portholes and lifeboats, hanging unused. He moved the sub higher and closer so that he was over the swimming pool. To his horror he saw the bodies. Hundreds of them, all looking as if they were ready to run to the boats and sail away from the ship.
He moved lower, towards the bow of the ship, looking for any signs of damage. "Nothing on the port side," he thought. He moved around the bow and towards the starboard side.
What he saw shocked him. A gapping hole, about the size of 4 to 5 elephants was ripped into the side of her. This ship had just not hit an iceberg like the experts had thought they said. Something had deliberately done this. He moved closer, and saw that they looked more like bit marks on the ship. He went back to the headset sitting in the back.
"Robert," he said, "Pull me back up, I have to tell you what I am seeing." Static came, and then the voice of 54 year old Robert Egir, Boditch's lab partner. "Roger that," he said and the sub began to rise.
Boditch sat back. Now he would be the headline of tomorrow's news. "Professor Finds the Cause of Sink," he though to himself and smiled.
Suddenly a warning light came on. The sub was getting too close to another object. He looked out the window. And screamed.
A huge sea monster looked back at him. It was long, and several tentacles coming out of its mouth. An eye floated in one of them, looking back, wondering if the metal capsule contained a meal. It opened its mouth and swallowed the sub whole.
The next day Professor David Boditch was the headline. Just not in the way he had though he would be.
