The Legend of Zelda

Reign of darkness

Chapter 1

"Link…Link…where are you Link?" an old man about 70 called out.

A child about 6 appeared near the door of the hall.

"Oh there you are, come on Link, breakfast is ready" the old man said in a kind voice.

They both then sat down at the table, as Link took a bite.

"So, how is it taste?" the old man asked.

"It tastes good grandpa" Link replied, smiling.

"So what do you plan on doing today?" the grand father asked, taking a bite himself.

"Big sister Maya asked me to help her with the pumpkins" Link said, in a cheerful voice.

His grandfather looked at him for a while, his face sad.

"What is it grandpa?" Link asked, his grandfather usually was always cheerful, he didn't understand what got to him.

"Listen Link, when you come back home, there is something that we need to talk about" Link's grandfather said, and looked out a window into the busy village.

"What is it Grandpa?" Link asked

"Come back home soon and I'll tell you alright?" smiling, he said.


Link went on to Maya's house and knocked the door as a middle aged man with black hair opened the door.

"Oh, hello Link Maya is working the garden, why don't you go over?" the man asked, looking at Link with kind eyes, "Okay Mr. Gaizo" Link said before going into the backyard through the side gate.

"Hey Link good to see that you're here!" a white haired teen exclaimed.

"Come on help me harvest these pumpkins" Maya said looking at Link.

Finishing up his job, Link went around Kakariko village looking for the elder. As he spotted someone who looked like her.

He ran forward, only to bump into a man around his twenties, "Hey! Watch it brat, what are you blind?" he shouted.

Link quickly apologized and ran towards the elder.

"Is that the target?" a mysterious hooded man asked the man whom Link bumped into.

"Yes, I think that's him." he said before they both disappeared into the crowd.

After being shown off again, Link began to walk home, not noticing the two figures that were following him.

Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder, as he quickly turned a piece of cloth pressed on his face.

His senses dulled, as he blacked out.


When Link came to, he was sweating.

The weather was extremely hot.

and there was a lot of sand around him, this wasn't Kakariko!

this was the Lanyuru province!

Normally it took about a day to get from Kakariko to Lanyuru, but he was in middle of the dessert.

Calculating quickly, he decided that he was at least out for a day or two.

Two figures quickly loomed over him.

"Looks like the brat is up." The man on his right said.

"Good thing too, I was getting tired of lugging him around." The man on his left said, Link tried to move, but noticed quickly that he was bound.

"Stand up punk!" the man on his left shouted kicking him, Link flinched and squirmed trying to stand up, and he did after a while, the men laughed at him and kicked him back down.

"MUMPHF" Link shouted with a muffled cry of pain, he stood up again and looked at the two men with an accusing look.

"The kid wants to speak take it off" brown hair said, and the black hair complied.

Link let out a gasp for air and began to speak, "Who are you? What do you want with me?" almost shouting, attracting a few monsters, that came out of the sand.

The two men took care of them quickly and looked at Link with distaste.

"The kid makes too much noise Riko" the black haired man said looking at his partner "You know what to do Reiku" the man identified as Riko said, and Reiku promptly took out a blade, and slit Link's throat.

When Link came to, the first thing he noticed was the pain, then he noticed the blood soaked bandages around his throat.

He tried to speak but he couldn't, realizing what that meant, his eyes widened in horror, the men had purposely slit his throat, ridding his ability to talk! who would even do such a thing?

Night came quickly and Link found out that the nights were no less forgiving than the days, the harsh cold climate irritated his wounds, making them burn, Link couldn't sleep, the pain was unforgiving.

He looked around and tried to escape, but saw that at least one of the two men always kept watch over him.

The next morning, the men began to move, forcing Link to walk, increasing the pain tenfold, when night came again, the two men set up camp as Link collapsed on the ground, exhaustion from spending a sleepless night and wandering around the dessert in the day.

Link spent around a week with these men and found out that he was going to be sold as a slave to some circus guy, the pain wasn't getting any better, it was getting worse, and if that wasn't a symptom of infection, he did not know what was.

It was at the end of the second week that help arrived in an unexpected way, Bokoblins, they had seen the party and promptly decided to attack, The Bokoblins had managed to kill Reiku and had come for Link, they lunged at him.

Whether it was luck or fate, link did'nt know, he tripped and the blade managed to cut off his restraints, slashing his chest, confusion spread as the Bokoblins argued what to do.

Link used the situation to escape from the mini battlefield, and ran as fast as his legs took him.

He'd had been trudging the dessert for a day and a half without food or water, not to mention his untended wounds.

He looked before him and saw an oasis, it was most probably a mirage, but still he didn't want to lose hope.

He ran towards the body of water, as the arid dessert wind struck against his wounds.

As he got closer, he picked up pace, and felt the cool water, against his bruised palms.

He fell face first into the water, as his wounds hurt, he drank a bit of the water, slowly, flinching every now and then as water flowed down his throat.

One and a half weeks of exhaustion caught up to him as he collapsed against the cool water.


So, chapter 1 is complete, kind of small, but I'll fix it soon with the other chapters.
