Notes: For those of you who are returning readers, I welcome you back as we take a new look at an old journey. Hopefully things will go more smoothly this time around.

For those of you who are new, this is a rewrite/re-upload of The Pendant of Peril, a tale concerning a man named Link as he finds himself set on an adventure he never would have dreamed of with a cursed pendant in hand. Though it's deceptively so at first, this is indeed a sequel to Ocarina of Time. You may find yourself seeing familiar faces from the good ol' land of Hyrule, but how they appear may surprise you. Time does such things to people.

Either way, it's about time to get the show up and running. I hope you all enjoy the story, newcomer or veteran reader!

The Pendant of Peril

Introduction

Hello. I'm Link. Right now, my life has taken a turn for the worse. Or is it for the better? I really don't know, nor do I care much anymore. What's important is that someone is here, reading this. I don't know who, but the fact that someone is scanning through my journal makes me feel a lot better.

I am going to share a story with you. My journey. From the peaceful beginning, to the final stand. From my early friends, like Uunco and Caw, to my later allies, such as Zelda, even to my great enemies. Though I've yet to figure out exactly everything that's been going on, I've decided to record what I know has transpired in order to get a better grip on myself as I go through this ordeal. Many challenges still stand before me, and to be honest I'm quite nervous.

But I am getting way ahead of myself.

Before I continue, I'd like to say a few things. First, this journal is a record of what's happened to me since I left Mycenia Village. Second, this is not the brightest of tales; it isn't some tale of some boy clad in green on his merry way to the Happy Mask Shop. Third, as you can most likely tell, I am not the Link from the legends. He disappeared. He's most likely somewhere, laughing at my misfortune. Finally, as I write this some six months or so later, I realize that some of my allies I've gained over this time will never see this record of our lives. Some may even be dead.

To think all of this horror, all of this blood and battle began with a pendant. A freaking pendant.

But I've rambled long enough…it's time to start from the very beginning.
