I do not own the Legend of Zelda, Link, or any characters from the games.

This takes place after Majora's Mask, which is after Oracana of Time. I have also added a small adventure between MM and this story - I will not be writing about it- for the purpose of explaining some of the items, abilities, a character named Eco, and having Navi back.

With that said, I would like to ask you, the reader, to please review. If you loved it, review. If you liked it, review. If you thought it was ok, review. If you thought that it was horrible and that your two year old dog could write better, tell me in a review. I want to make it better. I want to hear your ideas. If you want something in the story, tell me.

"Speaking" Thinking/Dreams Eco Speaking

And now, I am proud to introduce, my first Zelda fic:

The Legend of Zelda: Rivers of Time

Part One: The Tournament

Chapter 1: At Home in the Kokiri Forest

"Link, time to wake up." Navi shouted, right next to his ear.

Link didn't wake up.

"LINK!" Navi yelled again.

Link still didn't wake up.

"LINK, IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP RIGHT NOW YOU WILL BE LATE!"

Link started to snore.

"Eco, would you get him up?"

Are you sure you want me to?

"Yes"

Ok

Eco, a sprite, flew up above Link's head.

Sprites are a lot like faries, at least in their natural form. However, they are also changelings. They can change into any animal, except a hylian, a kokiri, a zora, or a goron. When they change into a water animal, some of the air around them changes into water as well, for their protection. It how ever, does not change back into air when they change from.

Eco flew up above Link's head and transformed, just for a half second, into a dolphin.

"AHH!" Link screamed as a large amount of cold water fell down onto him.

"What did you do that for?" He asked Eco.

Navi told me to wake you up.

"Navi, it's too early to wake up."

"No, it is not. The tournament is today. I thought that you would like a few hours to get ready."

"Oh ya, thanks Navi, Eco."

After returning to Hyrule from his quest to find Navi, Link had decided that his home in the forest was too small. Especially with the cow he had won from Malon in it. He however, didn't want to leave the kokiri forest. Therefore, with the help of the carpenters that he had saved from the desert gerudo, he added on. The original one room was still there, and still his bedroom. It did, however, get a new, higher ceiling. Below is now a stable. There was more than enough room for Epona and Shera, the cow. Saria named her. There was still an outside ladder, but stairs were also added inside. Above the original room, a room with a two story ceiling was added. With an area for food preparation, eating, and storage; a living area, and a loft with a guest bed. A deck was on the roof, and a ladder lead up to a smaller deck at the very top of the tree. From there the entire kokiri forest could be seen. To the west, on a clear day, one could see Lon Lon Ranch. Death Mountain could be seen to the north, and sometimes one could see Lord Jabu Jabu's fountain at the south east base. Kakario Village, built part way up the south west face could also be seen in clear weather. To the south, there was nothing to see but trees. To the east, the giant from of the Great Deku Tree blocked almost everything from sight, for so wide and tall the hollow shell was. The New Deku Tree was just getting to be tall enough to be seen in front of the Great Tree.

With the help of Navi, Eco, and his status as The Hero of Time, he managed to convince the faries around Hyrule, who already thought that their homes were getting crowded, to relocate some from each into a new farie fountain, built in the cliff behind his house. The only way in or out was through his home. With their magical aid, another room was added behind the fountain. Link's Vault. The whole thing, known as the forest fortress, was guarded by some of the strongest magics.

Link ran up the stairs to his kitchen, grabbed a loaf of bread, a cooked fish, and an apple, and tossed it them in his food bag. He quickly ate another fish and a loaf of bread, and drank some milk that he kept in a magical bottle. Actually, all of his bottles were magical, and kept milk fresh and cold, or potions from expiring. He tossed two bottles of milk into his food bag as well. He grabbed the bag and ran down the stairs, through the stable and fountain, and into the vault.

Though most of his clothing was kept in his room, a few were kept here in the vault. Those few were the magical items. Link started his preparations by putting on his white tunic. The white was his favorite, both in color and in magical abilities. His red tunic protected against fire, his dark blue against drowning, his light blue against ice, and his purple against electricity. Two of his tunics, however, protected against all of the above. The white and the black. Black not being his color, he loved the white one. Next he stepped over to his sword collection. Each was on the wall in presentation style. He chose the gilded sword as his main weapon, and Biggoron's Sword as a secondary sword. He got out his storage bag, the one that never got any bigger no matter what he put in it, and in it placed his fairy bow, his quiver (fully loaded), his bomb bag (fully loaded), his pictograph box, and the Ocarana of Time. He got out his mask bag and put his four transforming masks in, as well as the bunny hood, inside of it. Then he put both the mask bag and his food bag in his storage bag and clipped the storage bag onto his belt. He almost forgot, but remembered to put several blue potions in his bag, then grabbed two empty bottles. As he left the vault, the stone door closed behind him. He walked to the edge of the fairy fountain, and opened the empty bottles.

"Any of you care to come with me?"

Almost immediately, the empty bottles each contained a fairy. Link continued through the tunnel back to the stable and saddled up Epona. He grabbed his white hat from the rack next to the door, put it on, and lead Epona outside.

"Navi, Eco, time to go!"

Both Navi and Eco flew down from the upper level and took their places in his hat. Link got onto Epona and rode off.

Ok, there was chapter one. Hope you liked it. If you did, please review. If you didn't, please review and tell me why in a review and I will try to fix the problem.
