Chapter 1: Link's Return

In the far off lands of Hyrule, there lived a boy named Link. Link was a young boy of ten who was living with his friends in the forest of the Kokiri, otherwise known as Kokiri Forest. Link always knew he was differen. When Link came to Kokiri forest, he was not born from the Great Deku Tree like all the other Kokiri were, but instead he was born from outside of the forest. Since Link was abandonded at the forest when he was a baby, the Great Deku Tree decided to take him in. Link has known nothing of his parents since the day he was abandoned.

Every Kokiri boy and girl in the forest received a fairy of their own when they came to be the right age. These fairies would not only keep the kokiri children company, but they would also help lead the children to the path of righteousness. Naturally, since Link was different, he never received a fairy when he came of the right age. But Link was a patient boy, patient enough to wait for the fairy that was never to come to him.

Everyone knew that Link would never receive a fairy of his own, until one day, when a fairy finally came to Link. This fairy, named Navi, defied her clan of fairies and came to Link of her own free will.

Link and the fairy had many fun times together, but they also had many horrible experiences that they never wished to have again. This is the story of what happened after the most horrible of incidents, the Ocarina of Time, had happened.

"Link!" said his best friend, Saria. "You have returned to us!"

"So I have," said Link. "What is wrong, Saria? You look as if you have just seen a ghost."

" No, no, no. That's not what's wrong. I'm happy to see you, but I have some wonderful news as well. Come with me, my friend!" So Saria led Link to the small area where the Great Deku Tree onced lived. Once there, Saria pointed to where a small shrub was growing.

"Look Link! See what the miracle that has happened while you were gone!" The little sprout growing in front of the Deku Tree opened its eyes to see who was there.

"Good morning!" said the sprout. "My name is Bennu. I was born from the remains of the Great Deku Tree."

"So does the Great Deku Tree live inside of you?" Link asked.

"Well in a sense, yes. But really, it is only his spirit that is living inside of me," answered Bennu.

"Well it's good to know that the spirit of the Great Deku Tree is still in this world," said Link.
