Legend of Zelda: ocarina of time (revised)
Chapter 1
Sleeping soundly in the trees of Kokiri forest two brothers who's destiny was about to unfold were have very vivid nightmares.
One was standing outside of a large castle gate in the rain, as the gates started to lower he could hear the sounds of hooves coming from the other side. A white horse carrying two people galloped out of the city and into the field. The boy watch them till they were out of sight before he heard the sound of something behind him. He spun to see a large green man with blazing red hair riding a black horse, his mouth seemed to move but he couldn't hear what he was saying. the man stretched out his arms to the boy and a yellow ball started to glow from it. He could feel his heart starting to race and he knew he was about to die.
The other was standing in what appeared to be a dark black puddle that reached his knees. He could around him he could see multiple mirrors around him and each one was holding a different expression from the other. There was one mirror however that was entirely different the person inside wasn't him but rather a dark mass with the outline of a human. It was strange as he couldn't turn himself away from it. As he took one step closer the dark mass quickly reached out for him and wrapped around his arm. The boy tried to break free but the grip of the dark mass was too strong and his arm was being consumed by the mass. The more he struggled the more he found the mass consuming his body till only his head was still normal. The only remaining peace of the mass was it's head and that's when the boy noticed its red eyes looking back at him.
"Link, Link wake up," The young boy Link mumbled something in his sleep before turning over away from the small ball of light that was Navi. "Ugh, The great deku tree could have told me that the hero was such a sleepy head." The fairy grunted in annoyance. "Lilly are you having any luck with Kuro?"
" The small dark fairy was pulling on the boys hair on the opposite end of the room. He gave an annoyed swipe at the dark fairy before turning over much like his brother much to the irritation of the small fairies. "Hey come on," Navi shouted as she furiously flew around the room. "Do Hyrule's destiny really depend on such lazies boys." The shout seemed to cause both the boys to stirr. "What's with all the racket." Kuro asked his voice was light and a bit high like that of a child but his tone was more serious and made him seem older than what he was. He looked to his twin brother who was lying in his bed and noticed the white fairy floating in front of him. Lilly wasn't much of a surprise to see floating in front of him after all he remember receiving the black fairy a year ago. And ever since the two has been a pair, however the white one was a new one to show and it didn't take him long to realize that the fairy was in fact here for his brother.
Link was the second to stirr as he awoke from his bed rubbing his eyes. "Link it seems you have yourself a guest." His brother spoke.
Link looked at his brother curiously for a second before noticing the fairy above him. "Finally you're up. I thought you was never going to wake." She began. "The great deku tree has summoned you and your brother and he needs to meet you pronto, so hurry up get dressed and let's get going."
"Umm..." Link finally started. His voice was much similar to his brothers however his tone was much more softer and polite. "Do you know why he's summoned us?" He asked.
"Navi's white glow turned red before rapidly flying around the room. "How on earth should I know he just told me the fate of the world depended on it, now stop questioning and come on!"
Her sudden shouting surprised link and he fell out of his bed as a result.
"For such a small fairy you sure have a voice on you." Kuro said after unplugging his ears. Lilly who was hiding within one of the twins hat laying on the floor peaked out and gave a nod before returning to her steady orbit around Kuros head. "I'm glad you like my pipes but can we please hurry and go meet with the deku tree now?" she asked obviously irritated. Link quickly nodded and got dressed while Kuro, who got dressed during the whole commotion stepped outside after grabbing the cap Lilly was hiding in.
Link joined his brother on their treetop balcony shortly after getting dressed. Kuro was leaning over the railing gazing into the forest. Kokiri forest was filled with nothing but children all seemingly young to be living alone without parents but it was a given that adults were not welcomed into the forest and those that tried would end up lost within its woods. From the small spring and waterfall located near the shop that too was made from the Kokiri Trees to the massive path that lead to a grotto leading to the deku tree, the Kokiri roamed freely about and to be honest both boys felt out of place.
"Hey Kuro look, it's Saria" He exclaimed while pointing fanatically at the girl. The green haired girl ran over to the boys and stopped just below their latter waving to the both of them. "Hey Link, Kuro get down here." She called to them excitedly. Listening to their long time friend, they decended down the ladder with Kuro taking the lead followed by Link. Saria was known around the forest for being the big sister of the Kokiri Even when playing she made sure every one was careful and well looked after, Her biggest job was taking care of the brothers as they had a strong habit of venturing deep into the woods, at one point they ventured so deep into the woods that they were missing for two days. Saria recalled it as she nearly lost her head looking for them and ever since she made sure the boys stay especially in her sights and her first way of making sure of that was by moving into the house next to theirs.
"Hey Saria!" Link greeted happily.
"Hey Saria! Kuro greeted a big more casually.
Saira look at Kuro with a flat stare and crossed her arms. "Kuro, can't you be a bit more excited to see your child hood friend."
"Maybe I would if I didn't see you every morning of everyday." He countered.
"You should be more like your brother and...OH WOW LINK!" she screamed after noticing the blue fairy floating above him. "I can't believe it you have a guardian fairy now, that must mean the great deku tree summoned you right?" she asked.
"Yea, both me and my brother actually." He corrected. "We were just on our way to go meet him, you want to join?"
Saria placed her hands behind her back and shook her head. "No thanks I'll wait here till the both of you come back," she then gave them both a stern look while pointing at them. "And when you do I want to hear all about it."
Kuro resisted the urge to make a snide comment to his old time friend and instead grabbed his brother by the shoulders and started pushing him away. "Come on baby bro we don't want to be late."
Link wasn't sure what to do and decided to follow his brothers orders and head to the great deku's grotto.
The two arrived at the grotto entrance where they were met by a boy with short blond hair and freckles guarding the entrance. "Crap it's Mido," Kuro groaned Mido was the self proclaimed boss of the Kokiri though seemingly a bit too bossy which annoyed Kuro.
"Hold it fairy-less boy," he called to the two boys. The two brothers looked to each other first before turning to look at their respective fairies. "first Saria and now Mido, i'm starting to wonder if being slow to notice something is part of the Kokiri trait." Kuro wondered.
"Out of the way Mido, we've came to speak with the great deku tree." Link spoke up."
Mido gave Link a glare that did little to affect him. "have you forgotten the rules around here Mr. No fairy? only those who have fairy partners and are summoned by the great deku tree himself is allowed to enter."
"Well if that's the case then there is no reason for you to stop them." Navi spoke as she descended from around Links head to in front of his face.
"What you mean you actually have a guardian fairy!" Mido nearly screamed.
"Of course captian obvious, and if you must know the great deku tree summoned him." Navi pointed out.
Mido looked from Link to Kuro and narrowed his eyes toward him, a move which Kuro didn't like. "And what about you Kuro? if i'm not mistaken you've already met with the deku tree did you not?"
"I'm just accompanying my brother, and besides there's nothing against me meeting the deku tree since I already had my fairy for over a year."
"Well tough luck I won't let you." Mido sneered.
From where Link was watching the two boys were seemed to be about ready to go at each others throats and unless he did something quick this fight would end up becoming a blood bath. "Why won't you let us pass?" He asked. hoping to at lease divert his attention. His plan seemed to have little effect as the two seemed to be butting heads against each other.
"Because you don't have a sword and shield." He answered. Distracted by Mido answer Kuro moved away while Mido who was using all of his strength with his head was sent falling to the ground. "If you guys haven't noticed strange things have been happening in the forest and more monsters are starting to roam around than normal, if you guys are going to help the deku tree then you better at lease come back with a sword and shield, otherwise I'm not budging an inch and there will be no way for you guys to meet him." He explained.
"What, why you little..." Kuro started as he rolled one of his sleeves back as if making to punch the boy. his actions were quickly halted however as Link grabbed him by the shoulders and stopped him.
"Come on Kuro, we don't have time for this." Navi chimed from above the boys. Lilly gave a loud ring, agreeing with the blue fairy.
"She's right Kuro, for now let's go back." Link joined.
"With the odds being three on one it was obvious to the brother that he lost that fight and he reluctantly followed his little brother back to their treehouse
"WHAT! Mido won't let you though?" Saria exclaimed. the two boys and three fairys all removed their hands after the small girl finally settled down. "Saria you can easily wake up a mad deku that's been sleeping for ten years when you scream so try to settle it down some." Her fairy advised.
"Sorry about that; but still why won't he let you through?"
"He said something about the monsters in the woods becoming more active however we've yet to experience something ourselves." Link explained.
"That's because the forest itself is under the deku trees protection and whenever monsters get close to the village the trees will shift and move to confuse them thus is the reason they don't show here." She explained. She then folded her arms and closed her eyes considering her explanation and the recent activity of monsters. However, lately the monsters have been getting closer and closer, Maybe Mido is right, it would be better if you did at lease carry a weapon just in case."
"we can easily buy a shield from the store however I don't know about a weapon." Kuro said as he scanned around the village with his eyes.
"There is one," Saria started. "The Kokiri sword is what it's called I believe the Deku tree hid it years ago though so I don't know where it is now, you'll just have to look."
"Well if it's a weapon then the best place to start looking would probably be the training grounds." Link suggested.
"Ok then Link, you go check around the training ground and see if you can find any hints about the Kokiri sword, and I'll go buy the shield." His brother said.
"What? why can't I go and buy the shield and you look for the sword."
Kuro looked to his brother with a flat gaze. "Because knowing you you're out of money again and can't afford to buy one." He answered. Link was a bout to retort but stayed silent, it occurred to him that Kuro was right his pockets were empty after buy a large number of Deku nuts some days ago.
Links silent ment to both Kuro and Saria that he was right. Kuro started to walk off down the path to the store leaving Link with no other option but to go in search of the sword.
Link arrived at the hill top where he could see a loan Kokiri sparring against a straw was no surprise to Link to see Lein up there after all he was known around the tribe of being the best Kokiri when it came to fighting, He and Kuro would often hold matches against each other simply out of friendly rivalery and so far he is leading by one point. Perhaps Lein would know something of the Kokiri sword.
"Lein." He called to the Kokiri boy. Lein stopped his next strike in mid kick when he heard Link call for him. "Link buddy, what's up." He greeted. "I don't see your brother around did something happen?"
"Kuro is busy doing something else instead I have a question to ask you."
"Well what is it I'll help in any way I can."
"well..."Link paused for a moment. "Do you know where to find the Kokiri sword?"
Lein crossed his arms and thought about for a bit. "I don't think I have heard the name before but I do remember seeing some fairys carry off a weapon some years ago."
Link eyes sparked up upon hearing that. "Really, can you tell me where?"
Lein pointed to the small hole within the wall at the back of the training ground. "I remember seeing them go over this wall however because it's too smooth to climb over I made this hole instead, but be careful the area is covered with traps." He warned.
Link gave a nod and thanked his friend before crawling into the hole.
As he crawled out on the other side he was gifted with a sight that one would never see a lot. Because the forests trees were so large and thick it was naturally hard to see the sky, however Link found himself in a large clearing where it seemed the trees preferred to say away from. He gasped to himself as he looked up to the clear blue sky where the clouds floated lazely by. "Come on Link now is not the time for you to get distracted." He thought to himself before resuming his search for the sword. The tree basked in the rays of the sun, their leaves seemingly much brighter than the ones in the dense forest village, Link walked along a small path occasionally looking up at the leaves till finally he came across what he was after, place inside the trunk of a hollow tree was a sword and sheath. The blade of the sword was short and the grip was made entirely out of wood, the only thing decorating the blade was a small red ruby that was embedded into the guard. "This must be it." said the relieved boy.
"Well don't just stand there pull it out." Navi chimed from above him. Link gave a nod before reaching for the sword but was surprised when he found that the blade was stuck within it.
"Well that's to be expected if it was hidden here for so long," Navi said. "How about giving it a bit more strength." Link followed his guardian fairy orders and began pulling harder on the blade in an atempt to wedge it free, for a few minutes there was no results but then suddenly the sword shot free from the tree and Link who was still pulling with all he had fell back on to the floor with a thud. "Link you ok?" Navi asked while holding the scabbard Link groaned but gave an affirmative yes before getting to his feet. "Come on let's go catch up to Kuro and meet the deku tree." He said. Navi made to follow but stopped suddenly. "Hey do you hear that?" she asked. Link stopped and listened, the sound was low and faint and at first he could barely hear it however he noticed that it was getting louder and louder. Before long a massive bolder shot out of the woods rolling straight for him. "Crap Run!" Navi shouted before zipping into his hat.
Link was already running down the path not bothering to look behind him at the massive bolder that was closing in. "Hurry Link it's catching up." Navi warned. Link could see the the hole he entered from coming within sight, "Hold on Navi we're picking up the pace." He said before increasing his speed. He neared the hole just as the bolder was upon him and without slowing down he slid into the ground and into the hold just before the rock slammed into the wall where he would have been.
He slid out of the other side with the sword in hand and dusty just as Kuro walked up to him carrying a shield.
"You look a bit worse for wear." Kuro said as he looked at his brother. "I see you got the sword though, I knew you could do it."
"Yea, but it wasn't as easy as it looked." Link said breathlessly.
"Well here this should be a bit helpful." Kuro said handing his brother the shield.
Link took the shield from his brother and strapped it to his back along with his new sword. "What about you?" he asked after realizing his brother was without any sort of weapon.
"Don't worry about me after all this is your mission," Kuro said. "Now let's go and speak to Mido I can't wait to see the look on his face when he see you have the sword."
"What you have the shield and sword." Mido exclaimed after seeing the items on Links back. "Well that's that Mido now you must move aside or else I should tell the deku tree of your behavior. Navi joined in.
Mido crossed his arms and tapped his feet. "Good grief how did you two get to be the favorite of Saria and the great deku tree." He pointed his fingers at the twins. "Even if they like you I the great Mido will never accept you." He stated before moving to the side.
"Link, Kuro, Let's go." Navi said before leading the two down the path to visit the great deku tree.
