Recently got into Once upon a time and it so happens that I got into LoZ too. Thus the birth of this story came into existence (lol)

I absolutely love these series' and for fun I played out what would happen if the game happened to be in it too and got incredibly giddy about it. Keep in mind this is only for fun, granted it would be crazy if that crossover did happen in the series but HIGHLY unlikely. Which is why I figured I would have fun with this idea :)

I'll upload just a small portion of it, for now!

Legend of Zelda will forever belong to the creative minds of Nintendo and S. Miyamoto and Once Upon A Time will forever belong to it's respective creators too.

Hope you all enjoy my silly story!


Present

In an alternate universe there is a place where every classic fairy tale character new and old co-existed together. A vast world of collection of tales combined into a town called Storybrooke.

Henry, a young teenager who is the son of Emma Swan who is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming, was currently at Granny's overlooking some junk he had found when he was younger. Henry figured he'd sort them out while eating one of Granny's hot sub sandwiches in one of the booth tables.

It was a cold autumn afternoon, Henry needed to get his mind off the newest threat in his hometown.

Mr. Hyde

Who now resided somewhere in Storybrooke and no doubt plotting his next plan to rule over the town and everyone in it. He felt a small part of resentment towards magic returning to him, but he knew all too well that magic was necessary in his life. And really, without magic Storybrooke wouldn't feel like home.

Taking a big bite of his tuna melt sub he cleaned the moisture from his fingertips with his napkin and began rummaging through the box. He found old cassette tapes and trinkets that didn't interest him as much.

Until he saw something that he recognized.

He held it in front of him as he swallowed his lunch, it was an old booklet from one of his favorite games, The Legend of Zelda. The name was bolded in red with a beautiful blue shield with yellow engravings and the legendary master sword angled behind it. He gave a small smirk, a fleeting moment he had when he used to see fictional characters as they were and remembered the game as an escape from the reality he was living before...

His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a hand slink onto his shoulder, Henry looked up to see them take a seat in the same booth was his Camelot crush, Violet.

"I thought I might find you here" she smiled warmly at him,

"Oh, h-hey Violet I wasn't expecting you to be back so soon, do you want me to order you something?" immediately Henry placed the booklet back into the box.

"Wait, what is that?" Violet continued to smile as curiosity took hold of her attention, "is it another one of your stories?"

Henry looked back at the box, still holding the game booklet.

"Um, you mean this? No, it's actually from one of my favorite old video games when I was a kid, it's just the booklet that shows you instructions about the game and stuff" Henry said nostalgically,

Violet took a moment to recall all the things Henry had taught her about all the new and wonderful effects in this world.

"Oh! I think I remember… is it like a duel against creatures on your television?"

Henry couldn't help but smile fondly at how well Violet's eagerness to learn about future technology and its crazy gadgets. Seeing as how she was from the medieval times of Camelot, he was surprised she was more curious than frightened.

If anything he was glad, they bonded very well over them.

"Yeah, exactly! Here take a look," Henry handed her the booklet for her to see it for herself,

"The game is called The Legend of Zelda, it's a classic, and I think you can relate to it from your home in Camelot." Henry smiled smugly back, perhaps he couldn't be the knight he wanted to be for Violet but he felt maybe through this he could relate to something from his world to hers.

"It's about a hero who uses a magical sword and shield to rescue a Princess from a bad guy" He explained briefly,

"What a wonderful pastime! It sounds almost like..." Violet looked at the pages filled with the pictures of the characters with awe,

Violet flipped through a couple more pages, her eyes scanned a certain blue image caught her eye. She peered closely at it as Henry took notice of it.

"What's the matter?" he asked,

"I…I recognize this…"

"You recognize…the game?"

"No, I recognize…this" Violet placed the booklet down and pointed at the royal blue Ocarina,

"H-how do you recognize it?"

"Back in Camelot, it wasn't just a game like in your world," her eyes peered closely looking at the names of such characters and the location of the maps and such, "this 'legend' you speak of was real in my world...well sort of, when my mother was alive she told me once about a hero and it's ancient relics, they were said to be from another realm but they impacted pretty intently in my world"

"Wait-wait, so you mean to tell me that this game actually existed your world?"

"Yes, you could say that" Violet looked up, all seriousness in her tone of voice,

"The name of the kingdom, Hyrule, a hero named Link…it's all here" she said holding open the booklet and showing Henry what she was talking about,

"In Camelot there were rumors about such a realm called Hyrule where the people and it's hero had pointed ears and spoke many languages, to us the rumors became stories but I even recognize this ocarina, and this sword, just like the Holy Grail and Excalibur being legendary in Camelot so are these relics!" Violet exhaled,

"But that can't be… if these things, this story, are only known here as a game invented by some Japanese guy, how it can be real in your world?"

"I'm not sure Henry" Violet admitted as her head shook,

This brought Henry and Violet to a silence of perplexity.

"Maybe, if what Mr. Hyde said was true, about bringing more stories to life in Storybrooke, do you think maybe this particular one might play itself out too?" Henry thought out loud to Violet,

"I mean, the possibilities of me being from Camelot being transported to your world, it just might be likely." She said,

Henry suddenly lost his appetite.

Whether this theory might be true or not, if anymore fairy-tales were really to come to Storybrooke they would bring more trouble than wondering heroes, but also their esteemed villains alike.


Earlier that morning….

His head throbbed as he continued to follow the sparkling blue trail of light from the fairy's magic as he trudged the shallow yet never-ending woods.

The cold morning sun drew his shadow on the ground, his hot breath smoked heavily as he panted.

He didn't remember much, and found himself awake in the middle of the woods. Letting out a frustrated breathe of what became of him once again, his nerves were going crazy. He didn't know where he was, what was happening and what's worse he didn't recognize these woods one bit.

He snarled aggressively under his breath. Confused and burdened he began to sprint, the fairy following close behind, hoping to find what was missing and maybe he could find a nearby village or town to get some answers.
