I don't own Naruto or Legend of Zelda and I don't know why I have to keep saying that.
One last thing, while this is a crossover I might do some things not normally possible. Why? Because I can, this is fiction. If I wanted to, I could say 1 plus 1 equals fish and get away with it.
On with my creation

Ah Konoha, what a beautiful village it is. With the vegetation lush, the sky blue, and a relative peace at the current time. What's not to like about it?
But there is where you're wrong children. For you see, nothing is perfect, and as such, while it has a nice appearance outside, Konoha's insides are something to cringe at.
With over a third of the architecture demolished, a damaged economy, and over a fourth of its population wiped out due to a tragic attack by a being from the pits of hell itself. Konoha was a mere shell of its former glory. A good looking shell, but a shell nonetheless.
Such incidents bring forth the ugly side of humanity…actually humanity has always had a rather ugly side. A better way to look at it would be that Humanity's ugliness wasn't brought forth; rather, the make-up fell off its face.
The particular trait I speak of is not, physical, or of the heart, or any of that rubbish. No, this is of ignorance, foolishness, and illogical thought. Flaws that God made while he decided to consume alcohol during the days of creation.

Walking through the streets of Konoha was not something a person would see everyday. Then again, the people of Konoha don't seem to care that a 5-year old was walking through the streets in a lost manner with a fear in his eyes that he was all alone.
In essence, he was.
While the Hokage was out on a diplomatic mission concerning trade agreements with the other nations, the owner of the orphanage had tossed Naruto out of it in what she told him was 'gentle', when in reality, all she did was chuck him out the front door as if he was some drunken bum who the barkeep had no patience for.
Now alone on the streets merely looking for someplace to take shelter for when the night comes Naruto is unaware of the hungry gazes sent his way from the populace due the hunger in his stomach.

Four hours laterA bloodied form could be seen lying on the grounds of Konoha forest as it desperately struggled to find some way to survive the injuries inflicted upon it. Briefly it wondered why these things happen.
FlashbackAfter about half an hour of wandering through the streets of Konoha, Naruto had reached the main gate to the village, curiosity getting the better of him, he stepped out into the forest.
That was a mistake he'll never forget.
Upon seeing him exit the walls a couple of ninja that despised him for reasons he did not know had finally seen their opportunity for revenge. They had been tailing him for a while now, since it was technically illegal for shinobi to assault citizens within the village, no rules had been stated for outside of the walls. And thus they had decided to take advantage of this chance.
When they finally found him aimlessly walking around they sprung into action. As chuunin versus a five year old, they went a bit overboard and ended up kicking the utter crap out of Naruto. Thinking he was dead they left his bloodied mass on the ground.
End flashback
Why do these things happen to me? No child of his age should ever have to ask such a question that symbolizes the very loss of innocence itself. Fortunately for him his wounds were healing at an inexplicable speed, but they were serious nonetheless, and he needed to find someplace to rest and lick his wounds.
After about an hour of crawling Naruto stumbled upon what looked like an open clearing, what confused him was that unlike the rest of the forest, this area was perfectly tranquil, as if untouched by man for hundreds, if not thousands of years, no traces whatsoever. Briefly he felt as if he was violating such a sacred location with his presence, but he was so tired at the moment that he didn't care. Crawling up to a tree to lie against he proceeded to fall into the embrace of unconsciousness, too tired to even notice the mysterious mask his left hand rested upon before finally falling asleep.
XXXX
When Naruto finally woke up he had happily noticed that he has mostly healed with only a few scabs remaining, it was then he noticed the strange mask that was under his left hand. Lifting it up to get a better look at it he noticed that at was an unusual mask to say the least. It was of a man of a warrior like nature, with long pointed ears, semi-length white hair and strange markings on the face, three red slash-like marks on each side, two under and one above each eye, and finally one blue marking in a strange jagged V sort of shape resting upon the mask's forehead.
All in all Naruto thought it looked pretty cool, and he thought it would look even cooler on his face. Bringing it up to his face he thought about what he would look like with it on.
What he thought was nowhere near what happened.
XXXX
"Ugh, what happened?" All he could remember was that as soon as the mask touched his face he felt extreme pain as if the mask ate away at his face and was ingraining roots into his skull. Now he didn't even know where he even was. Looking around he noted that wherever his location was a sharp contrast to the serene clearing he was in before. It was a sewer, and it was at least ankle-deep in water, and had dripping pipes running along the sides. He voiced his opinion.
"This place is a piece of shit." While most children were ignorant of such language, most kids that weren't orphans were coddled. Deciding to try to find a way out of the sewers Naruto ventured further in to the unknown. Little did he know that the meeting about to take place would literally change his life forever.

At the end of the hallway, Naruto had finally come across something different, very different. The room he was currently in was immensely huge, and that's not all. At the other side of the room was a massive set of bars with one small piece of paper on them that had the word 'seal' on it.
Walking up to the bars, Naruto was startled when instead of seeing some sort of monster, he saw a woman, a pretty woman nonetheless. She had a mixture of orange and red hair reaching down to her shoulders. She had a pale complexion, on her face were similar whiskers to him, and blue eyes, but they were slitted for some reason. She wore a simple white T-shirt, and some dark blue jeans, nothing too much, just the necessities. Before he could voice his question, she made her presence verbal.
"Oh hello there, I was wondering when you would pay me a visit."
"And just who might you be?"
"I'm the nine-tailed fox demon."
"Then why do you look like a human?"
"Because I can change forms."
"Okay, but I was told that the fourth killed you."
"Obviously, you were lied to. That son of a bitch didn't kill me, but instead he sealed me into some little kid…well, not a kid any more."
"And just what is that supposed to mean?"
"Just look at yourself."
"Okay, but I don't see how that explains…Oh." When he finally looked down on himself Naruto almost did a double take. What was once a small little boy was now a full-grown adult male, a ripped one too. Rather then the clothes given to him by the orphanage, he now sported a silver tunic with some armor over his torso and in between his legs. On the armor's right breastplate was an orange crescent shaped like the new moon. On the left breastplate was an orange triangle. On top of his stomach was a plate of armor the same color as the tunic. Right below his neck was a necklace of three blue gems. On his head was a long hat that would be triangular in shape if held upright; it was of the tunic's same color. He was wearing buckle boots that went up to his knees, armguards on his lower arms; finally he was wearing black tights wherever there wasn't armor, boots or any other such stuff.
Bending down to look at his face in the reflection of the water, Naruto realized that it was the exact same as the mysterious mask he had found, with menacing white eyes now included. It was now that he also noticed the huge sword strapped to his back. The strangest sword he had ever laid eyes on too he noted, rather then one large blade it was actually two smaller ones criss-crossing at the center, then meeting at the end again. One blade was a light blue; the other was a light green. It was actually a beautiful sword in his eyes.
All together, Naruto looked like someone you just don't mess with.
"Why do I look like the mask I put on? Did you have anything to do with this?"
"Fuck if I know, nor does that matter. What does matter is that you look absolutely delicious now." Looking him up and down the Kyuubi liked what she saw.
"…Keep your lust to yourself please. Anyway I could probably fix this by removing the mask." As he reached up to remove said object, he was stopped by a new voice.
"I hate to break it to you, but that wont be possible." Looking over greeted Naruto with one of the strangest sights he had laid eyes on…and that was saying a lot since he had recently been through a lot and is still going through a lot. There before him was an exact replica of himself only his eyes were glowing. But what surprised Naruto the most were the three beings right next to his clone.
The first one was a humanoid like creature with white skin. It had a skirt like cloth over its legs that looked similar to the tunic only it was green. It had no shirt; it had fins on its arms that looked pretty sharp, colored like the skirt. Its head was rather long, about as long as Naruto's new hat, and it too was green. It had bangs on the side of its face that were green as well. For footwear, it had boots were quite similar to Naruto and his new clone, as well as the armguards. Its face was similar as well, but with blue eyes instead, like his old eyes.
The next one was a large…humanoid? The only real difference between it and the previous one was that it was brown in complexion as if made from rock; also its eyes were a dark blue. Around its neck was a necklace of black pearls. It was big and fat, though Naruto suspected that was muscle; it also had rocks on its back as if they were a turtle shell. It had white hair on its head and a small white goatee.
The final creature was the most interesting of all. It was about the size of Naruto before his transformation. It was a darker brown then the previous one with a texture of wood. Its eyes were yellowish orange. Its hat was as long as it was tall, and finally its mouth was gaping. If Naruto knew better, he would know that any woman would think that the creature was cute.
"What the fuck are those!" Never had he seen such strange creatures in his life before.
"Wahhh! He's mean! Save me Darmoni!" The little one had just rushed behind the big one and called it Darunia. Naruto noted that its voice was also of the high pitch, even more so then Naruto's before he put on the mask. Before Naruto could apologize, the middle sized one spoke to the small one in a graceful, elegant voice.
"Don't worry Deku, he probably didn't mean to be a jerk. After all, it seems that humans don't know what Zoras, Gorons, or even Deku Scrubs are anymore." Feeling a bit sheepish himself, Naruto decided to voice his agreement.
"Uh, yeah, what he said." As he said that, the creature known as Deku walked over to him and looked him up and down.
"Fine, if Mikau trusts you, then there must be good in you." With that he walked right back to Darunia and sat down next to him.
"What is going on with me…you!" Turning to the original voice and his clone. "You said it won't be possible to remove the mask, why is that?"
"I'll explain it to you then, and even though you're not involved, you might want to listen too lady." After saying that to the Kyuubi he continued. "As you can probably guess, the mask you put on changed you entirely. Guess what, all four of us used to be a mask individually. After our first user died of old age others got wind of our ability and tried to obtain us for themselves. Eventually, we were in the possession of a witch/scientist who somehow managed to obtain all of us at once. He wanted to harness all of our powers at once.
"While it wasn't to his exact intentions, through experimentation he somehow made me absorb them and all their powers, I guess it's because I'm the strongest. However, there was one drawback, due to us all being in one mask, the mask's chemical makeup was changed to a corrosive and bonding nature for some reason. To simplify it, the face you had before is gone now, this mask IS your new face." Finishing his explanation, he looked over at Naruto to see him with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"So what does this mean for me?" This was all so confusing, and it was a bit of a blow to Naruto to know that he was changed forever.
"I think I understand." The voice of the Kyuubi disrupted Naruto's thoughts. "Kid, I think we just gained all of their abilities, and you are now permanently whatever the one that absorbed the others is."
Said being had agreed. "She's right kid, you are no longer human anymore, instead you are a god of…I think they thought I was the god of battle. Well it wouldn't be wrong, since the god of war is dead anyway, but that's beside the point.
"Not only that, but since I absorbed the other three, all you have to do is call upon their essence and you will transform into them for as long as you are calling upon their power."
Naruto was starting to catch on. "Okay then, what are their abilities anyway? I don't want to 'call' upon them for the wrong reason."
"Good question. the Deku Scrub" Indicating to the small one called Deku. "can perform a spin dash, shoot bubbles from its mouth—don't look at me like that, it's more useful then it sounds—,he skip on water a limited number of times (being incapable of swimming), and glide for a short time by launching from Deku Flowers. Although, that's kind of pointless since Deku flowers are extinct.
"The Goron" Indicating to the big one called Darmoni. "can roll around at high speeds, punch with deadly force, stomp the ground with his massive body, and enter lava without damage.
"The Zora" Indicating to the middle-sized one called Mikau. "can use his sleek body to swim rapidly , he can throw boomerang-like fins from his arms, generate an electric force field, and sink to walk on the floors of bodies of water. As you can guess, he is capable of breathing underwater.
"I myself can shoot blasts of energy with a swing of the sword. I also know of some destructive abilities from our time called Din's fire, Naryu's Love, and Farore's wind.
"And last but not least, all of us have our own musical instruments capable of playing unique songs with special effects."
"So let me get this straight. I've ascended from human to God. I can become creatures I've never seen or heard of before, each with powerful abilities. And I have a nine-tailed fox demon sealed in my stomach."
"That's right kid, the world is now your bitch." With a smile he proceeded to pat Naruto on the shoulder in a way that said he was proud.
Naruto sighed. What does a God on Earth exactly do anyway?
Author's Notes:
I love wikipedia, it's so helpful, with out it I probably wouldn't have made the best descriptions about each mask's abilities.
