Link: ... That's better.
Foreword:
This fanfic is basically going to tell the story of Ocarina of Time. Since I'm not100 percentsure how old Link is supposed to be in the game, young Link is going to be ten years old, making adult Link seventeen. There will be no proper romance in this story, and it is rated for language, violence, and mild sexual humor -- mostly pertaining to Re-Deads later on in the story, heheh. It will be mainly in the omniscient point-of-view, although I may decide to write a chapter or a part of a chapter from a character's perspective, either in first-person or third-person limited. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, start paying attention in English class, jeese!) This fic is intended to be a general thing (not sure how to word it), with action, suspense, and all that, but I also want it to be fun and humorous to read. I'll try sticking with the original story as much as possible (although I will change the script quite a bit), but if anyone has a good idea on how to improve upon it, say so in a review and I'll see if I can make it work! This is not the first Zelda fic I've written, but it's the first I've written for this site. I'd like to hear people's opinions on this!
Also, dialogue will look like this:
"Blah" is normal speech.
'Blah' is thought.
"-Doink-" is any weird action I felt like putting in with speech for purely comical purposes.
-Blah- is speech of the Deku Tree, a Great Fairy, or some other such being.
((A/N: Blah -Arnen)) is an author's note from moi.
---Name's POV--- Point-of-view changed to this person.
---End Name's POV--- Point-of-view returned to omniscient.
---End Chapter #--- marks the end of chapters.
PROLOGUE - The Boy Without a Fairy
-In the vast forests of Hyrule...-
-Long have I served as the guardian spirit...-
-I am known as the Deku Tree.-
-The children of the forest, the Kokiri, live here with me.-
-Every Kokiri has his or her own guardian Fairy.-
-However, there is one boy who does not have a fairy...-
---Link's point-of-view (dream)---
A white-hot prong of lightning forked across the sky. An instant later, the earth shook with the mighty boom of thunder. The air smelled of rain and damp earth. Flickering orange torchlight illuminated the muddy ground in great circles, lit up a narrow stream with golden light, and played with luminescent fingers down white stone walls as a swift breeze sent ripples across the grass and shook the scant trees.
The whole scene was completely alien to someone who'd lived in a forest for as long as they could remember -- someone like me. And yet... It seemed somehow familiar...
I turned almost mechanically as a clanking noise was heard. What I had thought was a tall, wooden wall was now being lowered by chains. In a few moments there came a thunderous clattering, and a white beast I recognised as a horse (I had heard stories of them from some of the Kokiri who had seen travellers riding them) carrying two people on its back, one much smaller than the other.
The taller figure I didn't pay any mind to. It was the smaller one, a girl about my age wearing strange clothes, who caught my eye. Our eyes locked, and I could sense desperation and panic in her tear-filled blue orbs.
Suddenly, a snorting noise behind me snapped me out of my trance. Whirling about, I saw towering over me the most terrifying and imposing figure one could imagine. It was a man, clothed in strange black armor, darker even than the deep color of his mount's fur. His wild red hair caught the torchlight horrifically, seeming almost too bright. This did not compare with his eyes. Violent, crimson eyes seemed to bore into your soul as he stared at me. I had a sense of impending doom before...
---End Link's POV---
A small blonde-haired boy turned over on his cot, shuddering. Sweaty hands clutched at a scratchy burlap blanket, seeking some comfort from troubling dreams...
-O Navi the Fairy...-
-Where art thou? Come hither..-
-It is time for the boy without a fairy to begin his journey...-
-Fly, Navi, fly!-
-Find our young friend and bring him to me...-
-I do not have much time left...-
---End Prologue---
So, that's it for the prologue! This was short, since I really wanted to end it there, but I promise my other chapters won't be so short! Also, I was trying to remember everything the Deku Tree says at the beginning there, but I'm afraid I couldn't. ;-; If anyone can, please let me know in a review and I'll fix it! Thanks! -luff-
Also, at the end of every chapter I plan to respond to reviews received for the previous chapter. Those will go here, I hope to start doing this starting with the next chapter! So, please review!
