What Makes A Hylian

by The Gossip Stone

Just beyond the borders of Hyrule, in the village of Ordon, a young ranch hand seeks to fulfil his lifelong ambition and join the ranks of the Royal Hylian Forces. Though not a Hylian by birth, he strives to prove himself to both his family and the denizens of Hyrule. (Set during the events of Ocarina Of Time and told through retrospective narrative).

1. Chapter 1

Hyrule has a legacy of greatness; its grass is emerald green, its people have a sacred heritage, and its monarchy are blessed by the Goddess herself. It is no wonder, therefore, that those who lie outside the kingdom's borders are often infected with admiration, or plagued with envy: there is no in between.

The story I am about to recite to you is one of courage, determination, and ambition. It is a tale of one boy's growth, from a curious ranch hand, to a valiant soldier. Whether this story warms you, inspires you, or merely entertains you, I ask that you listen with open-ears and an open-mind; and most importantly, a wild imagination.
