The Legend

The Legend

    **Please take note that this takes place when Link becomes a teenager NATRALLY. Not through the effects of the Master Sword. Thank you.**

            -Two times….- Link thought, staring down at his old photo album. – Two times I`ve been in a near death experience. Ganondorf and Majora.- He stared down at the picture of him and Zelda with Epona. He was a child when it happened. He was in his little dream world, remembering his fun in Kokiri Forest before Ganondorf`s attack on Hyrule. Suddenly he was brought back to reality by the faint call of Keopora Geobora, returning from his morning flight. Link greeted him with the usual, "Shut up Keopora," and got up for the Hyrule breakfast. Ever since the incident with Majora, Link moved into Hyrule Castle with Zelda and her father. Ganondorf had been sucked into the Dark Rift, and peace had returned to Hyrule. Zelda had actually not changed in the slightest, like she had during the Master Sword time travel. She looked like she had as a child, except taller, while Link changed normally.

            Link sat down to the usual: Zelda offering him toast, him accepting, the King having a lecture about something or another, and they all carried on with their days. Ever since the threats had all left Hyrule and Termina, Link had moved onto becoming a swords craftsman. He had a collection of swords: The Kokiri sword, the Razor Sword, The Glided Sword, and the Master Sword. Knowing the finest strengths of one sword or another, he could make an almost exact replica of every sword. ( Except the Master Sword ) Once and a while someone would come to the castle, since Link was a world renown Sword smith, everyone knew he was there. After a day of creating swords, he went back up to the castle tower where he slept, and fell asleep just after Keopora told him the Legends of Ancient Hyrule. The next day was very different. Keopora never came back from his morning flight. Zelda and the King seemed on edge, and neither seemed to want to talk to anyone. Link tried to ignore this, and put on his Goron tunic to get in the heating room to molt his sword. He heard the shop door open, and someone stepped in. He got a quick glance at them, and he realized who it was: Keopors managed to get through the door. "I have been called upon to deliver you a message!" he hooted. At this Link stopped his work and stepped out of the Heating room to listen to Keopora. " The King has received a letter today. This was no ordinary letter, mind you, Link. It claimed that the King of Thieves, who remember who, has escaped from the Dark Rift and his claiming his revenge. On you and Zelda. The only other people he can`t get to is the Sages. But he could, if he had the Legendary Sword of Light. He has a mystical power that no one can control until it is in their hands. It has a power quite like that of the Tri-force`s. When in the hands of a good hearted soul, it can penetrate any evil. But when in the hands of a evil soul,- ack!" Link had already left through the window.

            Link grabbed his Master Sword and Mirror Shield, ( The one from Oot!) and headed out the door. Zelda didn`t even bother saying goodbye, because she knew what he had to do. Keopora was outside, and Link then did something he hadn`t done for years. He rode on Keopora`s back, far off into the morning light.

            Link knew all the places he was past. Death Mountain, down to Southern Swamp in Termina, over to Zora Hall, and then to a place he never saw before. "This continent is called Shin." Said Keopora, obviously sensing Link`s wonder. Link remembered the tale Keopora once told him. That story might have had some relation to the sword of light………….

           

            Keopora landed on the ground outside a little shop on the outskirts of the city. Link hopped off his back, and started through. He stared around, walking from door to door. It was a fairly large, bigger than Hyrule market, for that matter. Link stared around, walking to a strangely familiar store. He walked inside, and compressed his shock into a small yelp of surprise. He was in the happy Mask shop. It looked exactly the same and ran by the exact same man as the one in- then he remembered. After finding Majora`s Mask, he walked away from Kokiri, toward Clock town. And you cross through clock town to get to here…….. Link was lost in thought, until he turned around, and Link saw Ganondorf, standing right behind him. He drew his sword, and then realized it was merely a man dressed like him. He apologized, and ran back out to Keopora. He got outside, and gasped. Keopora had left him there.
