You see, what happened was two thousand years ago, when the last so called hero was born into this world. He started off as a regular boy in the city, loving all he saw and was a great fighter with fist and sword. The woman loved him and wanted him to be theres. He declined them all, for he had fallen for the princess herself, Princess Zelda. The two were indeed close. The hero would always visit her and care for her, and shortly after they turned eighteen, they married and the princess soon became pregnant. Everything was peaceful, but of course, this happiness would never last. Two months later, an evil man came and struck war on Hyrule with an evil army, demons and beasts that would come out from the ground.
Course the hero would fight for his kingdom and along side him was his princess. The battle went on for three weeks, until it was indeed the final battle. Victory was surely theres, until that terrible fate. The demonic man stabbed through the princess stomach, killing her and the baby. With sadness and hatred, the hero sliced off the monster's head and cried on his lover's body.
Days passed and Hyrule was never bright. The hero never came out of the castle. No one saw him. One day, one of the sages walked over to where the master sword was, to make sure no evil harms it. With what they saw, turned their face pale and they gagged. The hero himself, stabbed the sword through his heart. He killed himself. His sadness and grief controlled him, and he could live on this land no longer.
Two thousand years passed and new royalty took over the throne and shortly after, Hyrule began to expand and became more than just a kingdom. With the look of what the world was, finding new technology, Hyrule began to gain electricity and make transportation items without horses, though, people still rode them. Hyrule became bright again with this new life and with this new life, becomes a new era...a new hero...and as always, the hero does not have a good beginning.

The skies were cloudy and gray as the rain poured down the streets of the new Hyrule. A boy was sitting in one of the alleys, curled up into a little ball and shivering from the cold. People wouldn't notice him due to how dark everything was. He held tightly onto his necklace that his deceased father bestowed upon him. Thinking about it made him cry more and more, as if he was the rain constantly pouring from above.
His life was different now. He just lost his parents just a few days ago, and with grief, he ran away and wanted to live on his own. He didn't want to live in the orphanage. He didn't want to be around all those kids. He just wanted to be alone. He shivered more and rubbed his arms with his soaked cold hands, as if he could warm himself. He began to slowly close his eyes, to get some sleep, till a bolt of lightning hit the dumpster next to him. He shot up and noticed the power around him turning off, making everything pitch black. The boy gasped and began to run. He didn't like the darkness, not one bit. As he ran, he thought back at his family. His mother, father, and his-
BANG!
Everything got quiet and the boy still only saw darkness. He blacked out.
"Is he okay?"
"NO! YOU HIT HIM!"
"Shut up!"
"Oh...what are we gonna do!? I'm to young to go to jail!"
The boy groaned and the people talking got quiet and looked at him. The boy got up, his eyes droopy and he looked at the strangers. One was a boy, not much older than him. His hair was white and his eyes were a fading violet color. He wore a simple sleeveless white shirt and shorts with black tights with some holes here and there and wore white shoes with them. The other boy was what people call a Twili. His skin a moonlight shade and his ears a shadowy gray. His eyes looked like two amber stones and his smile was a wide cat like smile. He had quite a flat long nose and there were light blue markings on it. He wore a long, long sleeved shirt with black tights also underneath but his had no holes. He wore no shoes, just tights that covered his feet. His hands didn't show due to his long sleeves. His hair was a fiery color and his neck was quite long, a usual Twili thing.
The boy blinked a few times, seeing his...kidnappers? They were just two young boys like him. Soon after, the Twili jumped up and smiled bright. All fear and worry had melted away from his face and he grabbed the boy's hands with his little sleeve hands.
"Goody goody! Bless the shadosses!" The Twili praised. The boy was confused even more and looked at the white haired boy.
"Shadow Goddess." The white haired replied. The boy nodded, understanding. Twilis worship the shadow goddess, from their Twilight Realm. The white haired boy walked up to the blonde boy and held out his hand and smiled shyly. "My name is Ghirahim...that's Zant." Zant waved his sleeve hands around, making them fly everywhere. Ghirahim smiled at the Twili and looked back at this new boy. "So, what's your name?"
"I'm...uhh...Agh..." The boy groaned and held onto his head. There was a giant pulse and it flowed through his brain. Ghirahim gasped and held onto the boy's shoulders. "Sorry...Um...I'm..." The boy felt his necklace hit him and he looked at it. He flipped it around and saw the name 'Link' Written on the back. "Link...my name is Link."
"Link? Oh I love that name!" Zant said happily.
"As do I." Ghirahim replied. Link blushed and looked down. Soon after, a door closed and the three boys looked up to see a young man holding onto a few bags. He wore a giant rain coat and grunted as he placed the bags down on what seemed to be a table. Link got scared and hid behind Ghirahim and Zant. Zant looked at the young boy and smiled, patting his head.
"Don't worry about him." Zant said. "He wont bite. Hey Ganondorf!" The man looked over at the Twili and soon noticed a boy behind him. Ganondorf walked over and sat down, knowing Link was still hiding behind.
"It's okay, come on out." Ganondorf said in a soft tone. Link slowly poked out his head from behind the two boys and saw a big, stern looking man. He had a smile on his face and his skin was a dark shade. His hair was to his shoulders and it was a red color. He looked like he was an adult, but hearing his voice, told Link that he was at least sixteen to seventeen years of age. Link felt more comfortable and came all the way out. Ganondorf nodded and held out his hand. "The names Ganondorf, you?" Link grabbed his hand and shook.
"Link." He replied.
"Link huh? Good name. Sounds tough!" Link blushed and looked around his surroundings and noticed he was in a little shack of a home. It was a simple place with a living room/ kitchen, a small bathroom, and an upstairs with a giant bed and two mat beds. Link heard the rain from outside and then realized he should be out there, not in here. As the boy got up, he felt someone grab his hand. It was Zant. Link looked at him and saw his usual bright smiling face was now a frown.
"Are you going to leave? Now?" He asked. Link nodded and tried to pull away, but Ghirahim grabbed his other hand.
"But it's raining out there. Stay the night and then you could go if you want. Don't worry, we are nice people. Poor, but nice." Ghirahim said with truth in his voice. Link thought for a moment. He isn't wet and cold anymore and he doesn't like to be alone in the dark. One night shouldn't be too bad, right? Link smiled and sighed.
"Okay, I'll stay, but for one night." The boys smiled and hugged new new kid. Ganondorf got up and went to the kitchen.
"Alright, I'll make dinner for four then. Boys, we are having potato stew!" Zant and Ghirahim cheered and Link giggled.
A few hours passed. The four were telling stories and laughing. They sang songs and played little games. It was like Link had a family again. He stopped thinking when they were going to tell him their own past lives stories. Zant was first. He held onto his knees and looked down at his tights.
"Before, my life was anything but perfect. I lost my family when I was six and I forgot how, but I felt so alone. You see, not much people care about Twilis. They still think of our past with dark, black magic. So I was usually shunned upon. When I was eight, I lived on by stealing and using little magic I knew. Then, I met Ganondorf. He was eleven and also an orphan. We lived on the streets until he was thirteen and got a little job. I helped as well and we lived there...I've been with him since."
"Amazing." Link said and looked at Ghirahim, knowing he would tell his next.
"I lived in an orphanage till I was nine. You see, kids would make fun of me just cause I am...different..." Link was confused and Ghirahim began to explain. "I'm a sword."
"A sword!?"
"Yeah...I hate it. People tried to yank it out of me, they wanted me to transform and when I didn't want to, they would throw rocks at me. They would also be mean to me, by how I talk...I can talk a little formal, and at that age, it was apparently alien for the kids." Link nodded. "I ran away. I soon met Ganondorf and he took me in. It was only two years ago now."
"Wow...so, what about you Ganondorf?" Link asked the young man. Ganondorf looked away and said nothing. Link frowned and looked down at his hands.
"I never had a family." The man grunted. Link looked back up. "I was born, left alone...it was a cruel fate. You see Link, I am a Gerudo, a race with only women. Every hundred years, a boy is born. Before, they become king, but now...heh, we don't have much more of us." Link felt sad all of a sudden. How could people do that? "This society...it's nothing but garbage. How old are you Link?"
"Ten." Link replied.
"Ten...you see what I mean. Children so young, having this life. The rulers of this city, they should do something about this! People who must defend themselves, children dying on the streets. Only the wealthy can live happily. GARBAGE!" Link flinched. "Link, we want to make a better world, a new world. A world where there is peace and only peace. Where people can depend on one another. What do you say?" Link looked at the three people around him and tried to think back at his old life. He just couldn't remember anything. He smiled and nodded at the three and got up.
"You're right! We need to stand up! Hyrule can be fixed with the right people. TOGETHER WE CAN CHANGED THE WORLD!" Zant cheered and Ghirahim clapped his hand. Ganondorf smiled and nodded.
"Then it's settled." He said. "Welcome to the family."
