"The most recent Hero of our time fought against the newly risen Demon King and won once again. Although, instead of face the fame he now had, the Hero vanished shortly after his battle. Nobody knows where he had gone. Most theorize he died from an injury. Others say he went mad and killed himself. Not even his family knew his whereabouts. Any questions…?" A few people raised their hands, I didn't bother with it. The teacher up front pointed to one of the students.

"When did the Hero fight Ganon?" A boy in the class asked. I can't remember his name.

"It was 16 years ago exactly." I answered before the teacher.

"Oh, and how do you know?" The guy asked.

"My father raised me on all the stories of every Hero. The Goddess's Chosen Hero, The Hero of Time, the Hero Chosen by the Gods or Hero of Light if you prefer, all of them. Including this one 16 years ago. Most fought against Ganon, others fought against Vaati, and one fought against the First Demon King Demise."

"Well, aren't you a little miss know-it-all?"

"Miss know-it-all? I'm a guy."

"No you're not, you pretend to be a guy, but you're truly a little pretty princess." I roll my eyes and look out the window. I wasn't really a big fan of the class. I knew more about the Heroes' history than the teacher, because the one who taught me learned of the stories as a kid. Most in the class think I'm an idiot because I often say something stupid according to them. Especially this one guy, he has red hair and light brown eyes. He annoys the hell out of me. I heard the class bell ring. I gathered my stuff and got up.

"Link." I turned around. The teacher called me. I walked over to her.

"Yea."

"You keep disturbing the peace of the class, then you start day dreaming. What am I going to do with you?"

"Let me leave?"

"Ha, nice try. Young lady, I am giving you a detention. I don't know how many times I've warned you."

"How did answering that one guy's question disturb the peace of the class? I mean, really? I know a lot of information about the Heroes, why shouldn't I answer someone's question."

"It wasn't answering the question that was the problem. It was you back talking to him."

"Oh, so I'm not supposed to fight for my masculinity? He called me a girl when I'm obviously a guy." The teacher began to fill out a detention slip.

"Link, you're a girl. A very lovely one at that, but your tone of voice was unjustified. You will take this detention slip home and have your parents sign it." She handed me the slip. I took it from her. "You're detention will be tomorrow after school. Am I clear?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now go." I turned around and started heading for the door. "Oh, and Link." I turned my head to the teacher. "Happy birthday."

"Thanks." I left the room. I swear that teacher is out to get me, even though she wished me a happy birthday. I just made a small comment. I don't like being called a girl. I truly am a girl, but I act too man-like to be a girl. I even keep my hair short like a boy's, but still people call me a girl.

I look at the slip of paper. Father's gonna kill me… He hates it when I get detention. That's usual for a parent. Luckily, yet unluckily, history is the last class of the day.

I see my friend, Jaaku, coming toward me. He's my only friend in this school. Father doesn't like him all that much because he thinks he's a bad influence on me. I haven't noticed.

"So, how was History?" He asked.

"I got a detention." I replied.

"For what?!"

"Apparently I was back talking to this one guy I answered a question for. It's that deep red-head, you know? That one guy, Akuru or whatever."

"I think I know who you're talking about. Koru?"

"Maybe. I don't think that's it. Oh well, I could care less. Father's gonna kill me."

"Hehe, he is generally strict, isn't he?"

"Yea, but he's strict because he cares. He wants me to grow up right, you know?"

"I guess. Mom doesn't care at all. So, I just do what I want." Me and Jaaku were walking to the front door. We walk home, even though both out houses are a bit far from school. Father's at work and Jaaku's mother is at work, so nobody can pick us up. The bus routes don't run to our houses because they're apparently too close. This school is annoying, but I have no choice but to go. My father wants me to do well here. Understandable. All he really wants is for me to be successful. He always says how proud he is of me, but I don't understand why.

Jaaku and I walk out of the school and walk a half hour to my house. We hang out for awhile until Father comes home, then Jaaku leaves through the back door. Like I said, my father doesn't really like Jaaku all that much. So, when I heard the car doors from my father's car, I told Jaaku to head to the back door. Father walked in just as Jaaku walked out.

"Hey, kiddo. How was school?" Father asked.

"Bad."

"Really, why?" I sighed and pulled the detention slip out of my pocket, holding it up for him to take it. He took it from my hand and looked it over. "Detention in Miss. Soko's class for back talking to one of the students."

"He asked a question and answered. Then he called me a miss know-it-all. I hate being called a girl so I said I was a guy. The teacher said I said it in a certain tone. I swear she hates me."

"What was the question?"

"How long ago did the Hero fight Ganon once again in this age? I answered him and said 16 years. He asked me how I knew and I said you've raised me on those stories. I then listed off a few and he called me a miss know-it-all. I told him I was a guy, but then he called me a little pretty princess. I left him alone after that because I didn't want to get into trouble." Father sighed.

"I understand that the boy annoyed you, but you needn't worry about what others call you. You know who you are, kiddo, so why should it matter what people may call you? Tell you what, since it's your birthday, I won't ground you for this detention, but the next one I will."

"Ok Father. Thank you."

"No problem. Anyway, what would you like for Dinner?"

"Pumpkin soup and fried Cucco?"

"Sure." He smiled and walked over to the kitchen. Our house was rather small, but it was just the two of us, so it was ok. It has everything we need. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a decent sized kitchen, a laundry pool, a nice backyard, we never have any guests because nobody from Father's side of the family talk to us for some reason, and nobody on my mother's side talks to us either. So we never have family visit. If any of my father's coworkers come to visit, it's usually just for Dinner. Jaaku is my only friend and you know how it is between them.

My Father works at the police station of Hyrule. He's really good at what he does, coming up with a plan right on the spot. He has a lot of great skills too. A few of them he taught me. He even taught me a few of the moves that the Hero's shade taught the Hero of Light. I don't know how he knows them, but they're really cool.

Father finishes Dinner and we sit down and eat. Usually at dinner we discuss how our day was. Father is a cop for the Hyrule Police department and a good one at that. He can solve cases and stop criminals like no one they've ever seen. I hope I'm like him one day.

A thought comes to mind over dinner.

"Hey, Father?"

"Hmm?" He answered with some food in his mouth still.

"I had another one of those forest dreams last night. Only, this one was way different. It was the same forest, but it had these black things floating around and there was an orange sky with black clouds. I was some kind of animal and an imp like creature was on my back." Father took in every word I said and seemed to be thinking about it. He swallowed the food he had in his mouth.

"Maybe it was another past life dream. I'm not sure what animal you may have been or what was happening in that forest, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive." He glanced down at his plate and saw he had no more food left. "I thought I had…" I saw our dog chewing on something. I laughed a little. "What's so funny?"

"Ayru got it."

"What?" He turned to our dog, Ayru and saw him chewing on a piece of meat. "Ayru!" I was full blown laughing now. Ayru had a habit of stealing our food off the plates. More often than not from Father's for some reason.

"I love that dog sometimes." Father sighed.

"I was done anyway." He got up and grabbed both our plates. I was already done. He washed the plates off and put them in the dish washer. "I know I haven't gotten you anything for your birthday, but I have surprise for you."

"Really?"

"Yep. Get your jacket, we're going for a drive."

"Ok." I get up and go to the coat closet while father gets his keys. My jacket was green on the outside and white on the inside. Father and I headed out to the car. We drove for a long time until reaching a parking lot next to a forest.

"Stay here." I raise an eye brow at him, but before I could ask why, he took the keys out of the ignition and got out. He ran into the forest. I have no idea what's going on. I look out the window. It's the hour of twilight. The sky looks so pretty. A lot of time goes by and Father hasn't come back. What's he even doing? Then, right in front of me, I see a wolf with golden fur. My eyes widened. That's the wolf from the stories father told me. I open my door and get out. It turns around then looks at me. I think he wants me to follow. I walk up to it and it takes off running. I run after it.

"Hey, wait!" It leads me through the forest until we get to a clearing. In the clearing there's a pedestal with the Royal Family's symbol on it, the triforce. In the pedestal is what I believe is to be the Master Sword… Is that really the Master Sword? I walk up to it. I look around and the gold wolf's gone. Hmm… should I… It's worth a shot. I grip the hilt of the sword and I try to pull it out. It starts to slide out and I pause. Could this really be happening? I pull it the rest of the way out. On instinct I lift it skyward. It starts to glow. My eyes widen so much they may just fall out I was so surprised. Is this really the Master Sword? Am I really-

"I knew it." I quickly lowered the sword and turned around. Father was leaning against a tree near where I walked in.
