Much Too Young
He looked at his large hands in shock. This wasn't right. Tears trailed down his cheeks as he looked at his adult body. Why did it have to be him? Why did he have to save the world? His body may have changed, but he was still a child at heart. He was much too young.
He sighed deeply and looked up at the doors. He couldn't afford to let his self-pity get in the way. But when he thought about the enormous task that lay before him he couldn't help but feel pity. There seemed no end in sight to his tasks. He was much too young.
He wanted to just lay down and forget about his troubles, but he knew he couldn't rest. He had already lost seven years. Who knew what Ganondorf had done in that amount of time? He climbed to his feet, his first destination clear. He had been told to go to Kakariko Village. If he started now he could make it by tomorrow night. He was much too young.
He walked out of the temple, pausing to call out every few seconds, but nobody answered him. That wasn't a good sign. He shivered in fear. He was much too young for this. The town looked deserted except for a couple reDeads. The sky was black and red with smoke. The air was frigid and he shivered violently. He was much too young.
Navi silently floated beside him. She was the only thing he had that connected him to his youth. Everything else was different. With the town this bad he knew that his home had to have been harmed. Unable to take it any longer the Hero of Time fell to his knees and sobbed. He was much too young to feel this dang old.
I've been planning on writing this for awhile and I finally got around to it. This oneshot was inspired by the country song Much Too Young to Feel This Dang Old by Garth Brooks.
