Author's note: This is my first Zelda story. I don't know much, so things
are going to be a bit different than your used too. If you don't like
this, get over it! It'll be alright!

Prologue: The Defeat of a King
Princess Zelda sat in her chamber in the west wing of Hyrule castle. She brushed her beautiful golden hair, as she often did when she thought. For the past few days, she had done a good bit of thinking.
She was thinking of the boy, Link. She had sent him on a quest for the spiritual stones, and she now worried for his safety.
"Such a sweet boy," she said to herself. "Cute and brave," she smiled at the face in the mirror, bright blue eyes and a warm smiled looked back at her.
But not all was as peaceful as it seemed.
Link stood at the edge of the blue waters of Lake Hylia, shaking himself off and trying to dry his clothes a little bit.
Hope my sword doesn't rust, he thought, strapping his belt back on and putting his deku shield in it's accustomed place on his back.
And there he stood. His blue eyes looking round as water slowly dripped from his green tunic. His brown boots were mostly dry from his swim, but still a little damp.
He reached underneath his tunic, pulling the three spiritual stones out. He smiled at himself as he looked at these stones, happy that his quest might finally be over and he could return to his friends.
Placing the stones back inside his tunic, he ran as fast as he could, out of Lake Hylia and toward Hyrule castle.
When the castle came into sight, Link slid to a stop. Smoke rose from inside the castle and flames burst through the air. Link's eyes were wide with terror.
Pulling his sword and shield, he ran as fast as he could toward the castle, worried about the Princess
Impa ran through the once dark halls of Hyrule castle, her muscles rippling in her legs and arms as she pushed herself harder to get to the Princess faster. Swords and shields clanged outside as Hylian soldiers fought to ward off the oncoming Gerudo forces. But some had already fallen and the Gerudo began swarming the castle. They were on the stairs now, and a punch to the face stunned one enough for Impa to throw her over the side.
Zelda's screams could be heard as flames whipped around her door. Two Gerudo stood, swords drawn, and awaited Impa.
The first charged in, swinging wildly at Impa. After dodging several attacks, Impa grabbed the Gerudo's arm, ducked under it and came up behind her, arms around the neck. A pop could be heard as she applied pressure, and the body fell limply to the floor.
The second guard didn't have time to react. Impa's boot mer her face, and she was on the ground, her own sword deep within her heart.
Impa reached to open the door but found it was locked. A ram from her shoulder fixed this, and the door shattered to the ground.
Inside, Impa found a third guard trying to catch Zelda, who was running around wildly. Impa id herself, and when Zelda ran toward her and turned sharply, Impa met the oncoming soldier with a fist to the throat. The Gerudo soldier fell to the ground, gasping as a ball of magic engulfed her, and killed her.
"Come child," Impa said, taking Zelda's hand. "We must find your father!" and they ran out and down the stairs as quickly as they could.
The fire was growing inside the castle and the sounds of battle were becoming quieter. Impa knew that the Hylian army was lost.
Screams could be heard as a man with a very deep voice shouted. "Where is it, old man?" was all that could be heard.
Zelda and Impa jumped through the flames covering the doorway in time to see a huge Gerudo male with red hair, black armor, and evil eyes, kill King Hakonian. The Gerudo looked at them and Impa shouted to Zelda, "Run!" And run they did, to the outside of the castle where Impa's horse awaited.
Impa sat Zelda on the horse, then jumped up herself. As soon as she was on the horse they were off, as quickly as the horse could go.
"We must get away from him!" Zelda said to Impa.
As the horse darted through the market place, Impa looked back and said a few words quietly. An explosion shook the ground and sent chunks of Earth flying as she pointed a finger at the Gerudo.
But it did not slow him. He rode through the explosion faster than ever, a smile on his greenish face. His black steed was starting to close the gape between them now.
Impa could now see the gated leading out to Hyrule field. One of the chains holding the bridge up was broken and the bridge leaned to one side. Just beyond the bridge, a small boy could be seen with a sword and a shield, a blue fairy flew around him.
"Hold on," Impa said as the white horse humped across the bridge. The boy watched as the horse jumped, landed, and rode past.
Zelda pulled something out of her pocket. "Link!" she yelled as she threw the blue object at him, and it rose and fell into the moat.
Link turned and walked toward the moat when his fairy, Navi, shouted "Look!"
The Gerudo had crossed the moat and stopped in front of the boy. "Where is she, boy?" his voice was deep and Link felt much evil in it.
"To get to her, you must get through me, Ganondorf!" Link shouted at him.
Ganondorf laughed a wicked, hateful laugh. "You must be joking," he said as he sent a purple ball of magic out, knocking the boy to the ground.
With a laugh, he rode off. When Link stood again, he found it difficult to balance and his muscles ached. After a moment, he jumped into the moat and grabbed the blue object the Princess had thrown at him.
