Yes, it's true. I have a new story up! No, you're not dreaming. It's pretty random, and just came to me as I was reading a different FanFic. This might be, over time, a series of random drabbles about why the things Link is forced to do are rather ridiculous. P.S. This is an Ocarina of Time fic.
There's no "game" to this one, unless you wanna make one up. But I know you're all not that enthusiastic about my Fics. No really, you're all just jumping over each other, eager as beavers (see what I did there?) to win my extremely charismatic (eh?) and well-thought-out games. I know it. Don't like to me.
You'll also be pleased to know that this the shortest story I've ever made. Before this it was "Zero's Day Off" (Loveless fic, very cute) but this one's like 20-ish words less than that. *Mini-celebration*
As always, read and review please. Midna loves thee! Enjoy at your own risk.
"It's Not Easy Being Link"
"The Bottom of the Well is so easy," Link whined out of the blue. Zelda turned to him, a wary look on her face. The two of them were sitting in cushiony chairs in the Castle's West Wing library. Link was sitting sideways with his legs dangling over one of the arms. Zelda, being a proper and lady-like Princess, sat with her back straight, knees locked tightly together. She closed her book on Hyrulian diplomacy and laid it in her lap, giving the Hero all her attention.
"Pardon?" She asked.
"It was a mini-dungeon I had to do as a child. It's where I found the Lens of Truth. Sort of a prerequisite for the Shadow Temple," he went on.
"Uh huh," Zelda hummed, puzzled by the direction in which this was going. Link took a deep breath and began his explanation.
"Well, in the first room you have to walk through an invisible wall. Then you have to fall through the center of the floor to the basement where there's three Redeads. After ignoring or killing them, you're supposed to collect five Silver Rupees to cause the northernmost door to unlock. Going through it, there are several Fire Keese that, if you're not careful, will burn your wooden Deku Shield. But there's a chest with a spare one in there. Through the next room there are half a dozen Gibdos that you need to kill before they harass you to no end. In one of the room's coffins is a Small Key that will gain you access to the room with an invisible Wall Master and the Compass," he ranted without stopping once, not even for breath.
"Mhmm," Zelda yawned, her head propped up against her palm. What did this have to do with anything, she wondered. "That doesn't sound too easy, though," she added, feigning interest.
"Hang on, I'm getting there," he said, impatiently waving his hand. "All you really have to do," he emphasized this part by swinging his legs off the chair, planting them on the floor, and leaning forward dramatically. "is once you're in the main hall, walk around to the opposite end, play the song of the Royal Family, which magically evaporates some water, of all things, then go back to the front, drop down, and – BAM!" He threw his arms up theatrically. "Dead Hand!"
"That is rather ridiculous," Zelda agreed, nodding.
"Yea, well," Link sighed, lying sideways across the chair again. "That's how being the Hero kind of is, Zelda. You wouldn't understand, being of primed royalty." Link exaggerated. Zelda rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, your life is so hard," she teased, pushing Link's cap forward so it fell over his face.
Adjusting his cap back into perfect position, he shrugged casually. "Hey, it's not easy being Link!"
And there it is. Is that how the duration of The Bottom of the Well really goes? No, I don't know. Those are the only rooms that really stick out in my memory. So I used them. I use the latter method. I had a walkthrough that explained the whole full-length process. And yes, why have a whole mini-dungeon if there's only like three rooms that you actually need to be in. How accurate was I? I wonder...
If you want more chapters of this, PM me with ridiculous scenarios Link is forced to experience. I would very much love that. I like writing funny stuff.
Review and comment please! It makes it easier to be Link! I loves you all so muches!
