A/N: Just a few formalities I do not own Legend of Zelda and its characters are a trademarked and owned by the Nintendo corperation.
Chapter One Link
There was a howling in the night that froze the blood and minds of anyone who heard it. For most people the sound would have been that of a wolf on the hunt; but there was something…different about it. It was higher pitched and had a humanoid quality to it. Link knew it all to well as the battle cry of the Wolfos.
There it was again…another howl. It was clear there was not one, they always hunted in groups of two to five and no matter how many they were always deadly. More howling, they were closing on their prey. Their prey was a boy who was lost in the forest around him. He couldn't be more then 8 years old and was clad in a simple shirt and breaches; he had brown hair and tears shinning in his eyes.
The boy was sprinting through the forest as fast as his legs could carry him, push leaves and branches away as tears fell from his face. All of the sounds he was making shone crystal clear through the forest and could easily be heard by all of its inhabitance including his hunters.
The tears in the boy's eyes clouded his vision and tripped over an exposed root. Crawling around the ground until he came up to a large tree he turned himself around. He was in a small grove, a clearing in the forest where the light of moon shone through. In the darkness beyond the grove ten yellow eyes shown through it the look of satisfaction. The Wolfos weren't hunting for food, but to kill and they would soon have it. They walked into the clearing. A Wolfos stood seven feet tall and had hair covering their body like armor and their howl at short range would cause paralysis to people not used to the sound.
The Wolfos leader stepped forward and gave his paralyzing howl. He took another step forward with a look of satisfaction on his face (if you could even call it that). Giving one last fiendish snarl it extended its claws and in the blink of an eye leapt toward the boy standing one foot away from where the paralyzed boy was. It raised its claws ready to strike. But before it could gut the boy and arrow burst from the shadows and buried itself into the beast's neck. The beast grunted more from surprise then pain as blood dripped fresh with every heartbeat it took until it fell over dead. Its body burned on fire until nothing but ashes remained. The four remaining foul looked trying to see where the ambush came from as another deadly missile and landed in the enemy's eye. Like the one before it, the beast fell over and gave a painful howl before dieing and burning into ashes. The three remaining Wolfos knew they were in danger but were intent to claim their prize even if they would perish. All three lunged forward with bloodthirsty eyes as foam dripped from their mouths. Fire appeared from the shadows as the mysterious bowman leapt at the beasts to keep the boy safe.
He was clad in a dark forest green tunic with a matching cloak around him. He had a short sword in his left hand and his right hand was a lit torch. He had sandy blonde long hair and an angled face and the pointed ears of a Hylian. Link was the 19 year old Hero of Time. Savoir of Hyrule and possessed a sovereignty of his own right, and he was about to return from a five year self imposed exile.
