Note: I did not create this story, It was originaly a video game. however I did add some of my own ideas in. I know that Link and Zelda's parents were not in the game, but adding them creates more to the character. feedback of any kind is appreciated. All rights reserved to nintendo.
Proloque
Long ago in Hyrule, a beautiful kingdom surrounded by forests and mountains, legends told of an omnipotent and omniscient golden power that lay hidden. It was hidden in a sacred realm beyond the reach of men, but one day... a doorway to that sacred realm was suddenly opened. Hoping to claim the golden power as their own, the people began to quarrel and fight. Many sought to enter the hidden golden land, but none returned. Instead, evil power began to issue forth from the dark portal. So the king commanded seven sages to seal the gate to the land of the golden power. Many brave knights lost their lives in the battle to protect the sages from evil, but the seal was cast! Evil flowed no more! and the seal would remain for all time... or so people hoped... but when these events were obscured by the mists of time, and became legend.
A mysterious wizard known as gannondwarf appeared as if from nowhere, and with strange magical powers he eliminated the good king of Hyrule. He cast a spell on the soldiers of the kingdom and kidnapped young maidens who had descended from the sages, to break the seal. This destiny swiftly approaches, the final maiden, the princess zelda!
chapter I- A Cry for Help
As Link tossed and turned in his sleep, a voice began to call to him in his dream. "help me...please help me!" the voice said " I am a prisoner in the castle dungeon. my name is Zelda... the wizard gannondwarf has done something terrible to the other girls.. now only I remain... he has seized control of the castle, and even now is trying to open the sages seal. I am in the dungeon of the castle.. please help me". Link finally woke up, his father was sitting at the table with his sword and shield. He noticed link was awake and stood up "Link, I'm going out for a bit, but theirs no need for you to worry" he said "I'll be back in the morning, but I don't want you leaving until then". He paused "go back to bed" he said "and wait for me to return". with that he gathered his equipment and left. Link had an uneasy feeling, but he stayed in the house like he was told. After a half hour he decided to grab something to eat, he was just about to open the cupboard when a violent pain shot through his head. His fears heightened, he grabbed his lamp and set out into the storm to follow his father.
As he treaded through the muddy path, following his fathers footprints, he noticed that their were an awful lot of guards out tonight. The footprints lead to the castle bridge. a passing guard saw him and yelled to him over the storm "Hey! You're not allowed in the castle, son! Go home and get some sleep!". Link turned around and started to walk away waiting for the guard to leave. when he did Link continued up the bridge, he noticed their was a narrow cobblestone path leading up the side of the castle. He followed it untill he found a patch of grass, the voice he had heard in his dream echoed through Link's head again "help me! I'm in the dungeon of the castle!" it called "somewhere outside the castle you should find a hidden entrance to the palace garden". He decided to look for the entrance and ended up falling through the hole leading to the cavern.
Link felt a presence in the darkness, gathering his strength he held up his lantern and called out "hello?". The light revealed the blood soaked body of Link's father. "Unnh...that voice...Link? Is that you?" his father rasped "I thought I told you to wait at home..". "dad, I" Link began. "I suppose theirs no escaping destiny..." his father interrupted "here take this sword and shield from me". Link did as his father said, as he did so his father told him the story of the golden power and gannondwarf. "Dad this all sounds like a-" Link trailed off. "Link!" his father yelled "you must rescue princess Zelda our people are fated to do so... but do not... do not fall victim...to fate...Link... I shall always... remember...our..time...together" with these words the life left body. Link unsheathed his fathers sword and held the blade between his eyes in a sign of respect to the fallen warrior.
As he made his way through the cave he wondered if he was skilled enough to do this, his father had taught him how to use a sword and shield, a bow, and a manner of other items. His father had trained him, Link was as skilled as an acrobat, and was so light on his feet that it was freakishly feline. His father had prepared him for this, but was he ready? Link shook the questions out of his head, he had finally reach the castle courtyard. The task at hand required complete focus. Nealing behind a tree, he took in his surroundings, between him and the castle doors stood three guards. Two of them had small rapiers and shields, but the third wielded a large broadsword. Not even a breath of hesitation escaped Link's body as he leapt into action. He smashed the first one in the face with the hilt of his sword. Than in one fluent motion disarmed the next one of his rapier, and hitting him with the flat of his sword. The third came barreling down with his huge sword link deflected the sword with his shield, slashed across the guards heavy breastplate, than clubbed him in the head with his shield.
With the obstical removed, Link set his sights on the castle.
