The Legend of Zelda: Generation of Hope.
Opening:
After the immense efforts of Link the Hero, The land of Hyrule was returned to a peaceful land, after he defeated Ganondorff, and helped Midna, the Twilight Princess, return to her true form and get home to the Twili. Link had returned back to his home village of Ordon, in Ordon Province, and was welcomed by his fellow people with cheering and thankfulness. There was a feast, and a statue made of Link in his honour, and he would always be remembered as 'The Hero of Heroes'. Near the end of the Celebration feast, a young girl named Llia, Ask if she could speak with Link in private. After going around the back of a house, Link turned around to ask what she wanted, and his lips were met with hers in a kiss. It was brief, but it felt like an eternity. When the pair broke away, Llia looked uneasy and began apologising for what she had done, but Link stopped her, by returning the kiss, and they both smiled as they sealed their Love for one another.
A year passed, and things had soon got back to normal. Link and Llia had settled down together in Link's home, and Llia was soon to have they're first child. This child would be the next in line to acquire The Triforce of Courage, which It's father before had carried. Everyone in the village wished them the both of luck, and hoped them to have a good, strong healthy baby. They were both planning on a boy, as to carry on the long tradition of Links mysterious history of Boy's being born into his family.
It was on a stormy night that the baby boy was born.
They named him, Link
And all seemed well. Until Llia started have yet more contractions, worse than before. Link, Ordons Doctor and Llia's parents were all there for the birth, and were all baffled on why Llia was showing signs of having another baby, the Twin of Baby Link. It was born about an hour after Link Jr. and was a healthy baby girl.
They named her, Vitanie.
Chapter One: The Legend Begins.
7 years later...
The sun shone brightly over Ordon village, and there were birds singing in the trees that surrounded it. The sounds of children laughing come from a small house near the edge of the village, and the playful barking of a dog. A young girl and her brother were playing sword fights with Twigs fallen from trees, as they're dog ran around them barking. Link smiled at them as he watched his son and daughter, unknowingly learning techniques that both would surly need later on in life. His beloved, Llia, came out of the house to join him watching their children. She took his hand and smiled at him.
"Aren't they beautiful, Link?" She said, gazing at them with love. Link looked at her and smiled.
"I know someone more beautiful" And he winked at her as she hugged him. They both watched young Link Jr. and his sister Vitanie play, until the sun was setting. It was then that Link called them to come inside for bed.
"Aww, but Dad! Can't we just play for a little longer?" Called Link Jr., Stopping with his twig in mid swing.
"Nope, inside please, it gets dangerous at night, you know that Link!" Another, more stern call from in the house sounded. Link looked at his sister.
"I guess we better go in the, eh?" He said sadly ad he dropped his twig, and the dog picked it up and ran into the house with it. Vitanie nodded and dropped her twig to, and hey both walked into the house and got changed for bed. Link and Llia tucked them in and said goodnight to them, and walked into the kitchen, where they sat down and drank some warm Ordon Milk. Link noticed that Llia looked somewhat troubled. He reached out for her hand and held it softly.
"What's wrong, my love?" He said. Llia looked up at him.
"It's just…." She took a small breath. "Why was it Vitanie chosen with the Triforce, and not Link? It's just strange isn't it? That the Gods of Hyrule chose her and not the first born…." She looked up at Link's Hylian shield, with the Triforce symbol shining in the fire light. Link also looked up at it, memories of his past adventures flooding into his mind.
"I'm not sure….But I'm sure there is a purpose for it. Maybe it was time to see if there can ever be a female Hero of Heroes?" He smiled and looked at her, but she still looked worried.
"But what if something happens to her, or to Link, or to all of us? What if she isn't as strong as you and your ancestors….What if she gets…..." She broke away looking down with a tear in her eye. on now," Link moved over to her and took her in his arms, hugging her tightly. "Nothing like that is ever going to happen to her. Just because all the Hero's of Hyrule have been male, doesn't mean a woman can't do as good a job!" He looked into her eyes, his bright blue meeting her green, and she smiled.
"I guess your right….I mean, if you can save all of Hyrule, why not her." She smiled as Link nudged her laughing.
"There we go, that's the Llia I know" He said, getting up and holding a hand out to her. "Bed?" He said, smiling deviously, his blue eyes glinting with light. She got up, took his hand and followed him to their bedroom.
The next day brought rain over Ordon, and destroyed Link and Vitanie's plans on going out to Faron Woods that day with their father. Vitanie retreated to sitting on her fathers lap, drawing a picture as Link read a book, and Link Jr. helped his mother wash the dog. The day seemed to drag on, as rain continuously fell hard onto the roof of their small home. When Link and Llia had finished washing the dog, his ears perked up and he ran to the window, barking and growling at something. Link had got the dog for a soul purpose. To sense any danger or Monster that was around the Village, so as to get rid of the problem at hand, before it got out of control. So far, because of Midna, as Link called his faithful friend, after the Twilight Princess, Link had managed to save the Village a number of times from Monsters and Shadow beasts who claimed revenge for being defeated so many years before. Link took sudden notice of Midna's odd behaviour, as jumped up to look out the window. He could hardly see anything dew to the rain, so he grabbed a cloak from the door and got a rope, tied it around Midna's neck and reached for the front door.
"Link…..be careful…." Said Llia, as she was holding Vitanie and Link Jr.'s Hands. Link nodded and opened the door. He was met by a gale of wind, and he pulled his cloak tight around him and proceeded out to the garden. Midna was still growling at something in the trees, so Link followed the dog as the got closer. As Midna barked at something unseen to Link, he heard a scuffling in the trees, and Midna pulled out of his grasp and ran off after it. Link quickly followed, his face being whipped by rain and branches. After a while, he lost sight of Midna, and he lost track of where he was. He looked around for the trail, but couldn't find it. He was lost somewhere in Faron woods, and no one could help him.
A dull shimmer of light broke out through the tree tops over where Link was sleeping. His clothes were still wet and damp from the night before, and he was shivering uncontrollably. There were fait sounds of voices, calling his name. He could just about hear them. He was too weak to call out and let them know where he was. He tried to lift his head up, but as he did, it fell limp to the floor and he slipped back into his restless, cold and ill sleep. Midna had found him during the night, and stayed at his side. He heard the voices to, and barked, climbing up on a rock so as the people could see him. He continued to bark as people from Ordon got closer. It was Llia who found Link first, crying out his name and cradling him in her arms.
"Link! Oh my Link…..Over here! He's over here, I found him!" She called out to he fellows, who came rushing over with blankets and a hand-made stretcher. "Good girl Midna" She said as the dog looked at her sadly as they took Link back home.
"Mother….is Daddy going to be okay?" Said the frail voice of Vitanie, who had not left her Fathers side since the people of Ordon brought him home. Link had still not woken up, and the people of Ordon were suspecting foul play. Llia looked at her beloved Link and forced a smile at Vitanie.
"Of course he's going to be okay honey; He's been in a lot worse trouble than this…."
Link Jr. was staring blankly at his father, as if deep in thought. Llia put an arm around her son, and he looked up at her. He then frowned and looked at his sister. "This is all your fault Vitanie!" He shouted at her, still staring at him. It took Llia a moment to take in what he had said, were as Vitanie look horrified.
"What do you mean by that?" Vitanie said timidly.
"You know what I mean!" He yelled back, standing up, slightly taller that she.
"Link! Do not yell at your sister like that! And how dare you blame her for what happened to your father! She was in the house the whole night he was missing!" Yelled Llia, anger rising in her for what her son was saying. Link looked at her, frowning still.
"It is her fault though, and you should know it! If it wasn't for her having the Triforce shard in her, stupid Monsters wouldn't be luring Dad out into the forest, and casting spells on him!" He said, with such likeness to his father when he was making a point, Llia almost forgot she was talking to her son. Llia raised herself to full height, holding Vitanie's hand, as she had begun to cry.
"You know for a fact that's not true! What if it had been you who were born with the mark of the gods? Would you feel terrible if this had happened then and Vitanie was blaming you for it?" She said, looking her son right in the eyes. Link just frowned more.
"I would probably already know it was my fault, and would have taken the blame there and then! Not acted all sorry for Dad while he grows weaker and weaker by the minute!" Link said, lowering his voice a little. Llia looked at him for a minute. She had a strange feeling in her mind, but choose to ignore it.
"What do you mean by that?" She said, suspiciously. Link relaxed his frown, and avoided her gaze.
"Mean by what?" He said, now looking at the floor.
"By saying that your Father grows –"But she couldn't finish her sentence, as there was a knock at the door. She walked over and answered it.
"Father?" She said, taken aback as she saw her father's worried face looking back at her.
"Llia, you must come, you have to see, for Link's life may be in danger!" He said, beckoning her outside. As she walked with her father, she saw there was a crowd gathering around the statue made in Links honour the day he came back from saving Hyrule. There was blood smeared all over the statue, and a message was written on the floor, also in blood;
The Master Has Been Revived, And Wishes To Reclaim The Triforce Of Courage. Return It Now, Or All Will Perish!
And there was a symbol under the message, a symbol that sent fear through Llia's body. She only recognised it from a book on Hylian history she had seen, with text about one of Link ancestors defeating a great evil using time travel.
It was the Symbol of Ganondorff.
