Author's note: I decided to split the chapters to make it easier to read. A few chapters have turned out rather short, others are longer. I know, Sheik is supposed to be Zelda in the game, but he's not in my story.

Please, if you don't support this theory and this pairing, just don't read.

Enjoy (:

Prologue

Once upon a time, long before this land existed, there were three deities residing in heaven. These were the golden goddesses. One day, Din, the goddess of power, created the red earth and cultivated the land with her flaming arms. Farore, the goddess of courage, gave life to all the living inhabitants of the world with her rich soul and last but not least, there was Nayru and she poured her wisdom onto the earth, blessing the world with the spirit of law. Once their work was done, they ascended to heaven and departed into the golden land, leaving behind a sacred relic which connected the three powers.

This relic is said to grant wishes to anyone who touches it, but due to its great power, it had been sealed away in the sacred realm to be safe and out of people's reach.

However, humans had always been a weak race and many men tried to invade the sacred realm forcefully. Many faced a painful death as their bodies burned down to nothing more than black ashes and those who eventually succeeded in saving their lives were known to have become mentally deranged. Long time, no man ever dared to come close to the sacred realm again and people started to be content with what they had.

Until, in the area of the haunted wastelands, a boy was born. A boy who was about to change the course of life in Hyrule.

Born as the only man of the Gerudo tribe after a hundred years, Ganondorf was already destined to become king. And as time passed by, he grew up to be a powerful and strong thief and his hate towards the royal family, who had condemned his tribe to live in the harsh conditions of the desert, sprouted day by day.

And Ganondorf, driven by the lust for power and the desire to become king of Hyrule, had started to plan the downfall of the royal family. Little by little, he manipulated the people and gained the trust of the king. And when finally the day had come, he entered the sacred realm and reached out for the sacred Triforce.

However, what he had not known, was that the Triforce would shatter into three pieces as soon as his hands would touch it and when it happened, he had not even been able to voice his wish.

But the world should not be what it was before...

Chapter 1 Visions

With a gasp she opened her eyes forcefully, blinking away the strong light that had flooded her vision before. The noises from her dream had vanished and the silence of the small room seemed almost unnatural. The only thing her ears could hear was the beating of her own heart in her chest as it was slowly calming down to a steady rhythm. She touched her forehead and wiped away the sheen of sweat that covered her skin. Her naked feet touched the cold floor as she put them to the ground and she walked over to the only window of her small room. Dark clouds were hanging over Hyrule and she knew, they would not vanish until Ganondorf was beaten. She pinched the bridge of her nose as memories started to flood her vision once again, as if a single gesture like that could make them go away. How could her father have been so naive as to believe and trust in a thief from the desert? They had bitterly paid for his mistake.

A knock on the door distracted her thoughts. She lifted her head when Impa came into the room.

"He's here."
