New Story Preview!

"Where Have You Been Hiding" is my newest Zelda fanfiction! If you remember as far back to when I was writing "An Evil Surprise" (has been canceled for a while now, get with the program), it was a rewrite of Ocarina of Time as if the original one had already happened. Well, that's been done too many times. I've combined the worlds of Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Ocarina of Time to make the gigantic Hyrule that exists in this story now!

All the characters from each game mentioned will be here, and maybe even some guest appearances from characters like Darmani or Mikau from Majora's Mask in appropriate timings.

For the world, I've made the Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time lands combine into a massive landform of Hyrule, and the similar places in those games will combine into massive ones. The layout is similar to Twilight Princess (GameCube, I don't like the Wii version), but also similar to Ocarina of time.

In the very north of the giant landmass lies Hyrule Castle and Castle Town. It's the tip of the land, basically. Down to the east is the combined Kakariko Villages and Death Mountains to make the massive one in this story. In the southeast to the southwest seas are all 65 islands in Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, including Outset, Mercay, Windfall, and the Isle of Ember. On the big mass, the south is where the two big wooded areas are, Kokiri and Faron, with their separate temples and mini-areas in their proper places. To the west is the desert, in tune with the GameCube Twilight Princess, and up in the northwest is Lake Hylia, Zora's Domain, and Snowpeak Mountain. In the center-ish, towards the southwest, is Lon Lon Ranch from Ocarina of Time. Kakariko Gorge is in it's place next to the Kakariko village. The layout of the towns (minus Kokiri) are identical to those of Twilight Princess, just with added characters.

I'm not going to mention all of the characters in all four games. That's about 900 characters to write in. Oh my gosh, I can't keep track of all that! (I didn't really count that many, I went through the Zelda Dungeon lists and used a calculator to keep track as I added up the rows of characters). Nor do I want that cluttered of a story. The amount of characters is going to be bad enough to try and keep track of, I don't want to add to my workload on it.

So, the basic plot idea of the story is that Princess Zelda is kidnapped the day she's born and is gone without a trace. Without an heir to the throne, Hyrule is falling into chaos as King Daphnes slowly dies. It will split apart without someone to hold it together. Who better than to find her? Link, the main protagonist of this story!

From the first chapter, it might be OBVIOUS where the Princess is... provided that you know about the series and how things played out in Wind Waker. Just a minor warning.

The first chapter is written and I'll post it right away, and I'll make a cover eventually. I haven't gotten around to that part yet :P

So , I hope you enjoy this story and stick around for the finish. Feel free to message me/review this with ideas, I'm totally open to them! Whether or not I use them is also another thing altogether, but I'll consider each idea at least once. I'll be sure to credit you if I use one of your ideas, I'm a bit touchy about plagiarism. But that's a whole different story!

Thanks so much for reading this long Author's Note, and I hope you stay for the whole thing.

Peace out!
