Author's Note: This super short first chapter addresses one of my main problems with Wind Waker. I try my hardest to avoid mailboxes until I get a super large wallet so this stops happening.

Link could barely contain his excitement when he saw the mailbox bobbing to and fro in the distance. Finally, he had received mail! He could only guess who it was from. Was it Tetra, the feisty pirate? Could it be his new friends Medli or Makar? Or maybe it was from his dear sister, Aryll?

As he approached the mailbox, it spat out a small envelope, and he immediately recognized the handwriting on the front. It was his grandmother's. Quickly, he tore open the envelope and began to read the letter inside.

Dearest Link,

This is your grandmother. Are you feeling well? Are you staying safe? Every day that you and Aryll are away, my heart breaks. Every day I look out to the sea and hope you both will come back home safely. My life is not the same without my two little lights of sunshine, and I must remember that the whole world has not grown cold. I know you are trying your hardest to save her, and you are being so strong and brave. Do not worry over me. I know your journey may be rough ahead, so I will do what I can to help. I have been saving all that I can for the past month, and am sending it to you now. I will manage to get by somehow, but I know the sacrifice is worth it.

Love, your Grandmama

After Link read the letter, he realized something else was inside the envelope. He reached into the corner of it and pulled out a rupee that was deep red in color. "Wow, twenty rupees! That was so nice of her," he thought, realizing she probably had to sell some of her belongings in order to send that much. He reached for his wallet, opened it up, and to his dismay, he found that his wallet was already completely full with other rupees. "Her gift won't fit in here," he realized. "I guess there is no point in me hanging onto it then."

Link tossed the red rupee over his shoulder and into the ocean, closed up the mail box, and hopped back onto his boat to sail off again.
