Link's Christmas
Chapter one: the tunic.
It was nearing christmas, and Link had the blues. It was about 8 or 9 years later. Link hated christmas. It only reminded him how alone he was.
He of course could visit Zelda, but the air in the castle around this time of year reminded him that she was a princess and he was a commoner. And he could visit Malon, only to be reminded that she had no idea about anything he wanted to discuss. And he could visit the Sages, only to have Ruto again profess her love everlasting to him (which always made him feel weird) and Saria beg him for information he didn't have about their former home in the Forest. And he could go to the forest, but he didn't feel at home there since he found out he was actualy hylian.
So instead he took to wandering about the plains, bored and lonely. He had heard that in other places, it snowed around this time of year. It never snowed in Hyrule. He was on his way to the lake for a swim, brooding, when he fell into a hole. He looked about, feeling his ankle to see if it was broken. It wasn't. He decided to look around the hole. In the corner he found a treasure chest. He opened it.
************** Link gained Christmas Tunic! **************
Inside was a folded red tunic, darker than his fire tunic, with some sort of white edging. He felt the soft fabric, then put it on, as well as the leggings and hat that went with it.
Suddanly, everything twisted and spun. He was reminded of taking off the Deku Mask for the first time. Only, he hadn't been wearing a mask... he got sick to his stomich on the floor. Then, the changes began.
He was floating in midair, the goddesses around him. He grew a long white beard, which then shortened itself, then dissapeared. He became enourmously fat, then mediumly fat, then back to normal. Odd things were happeneing to his stuff as well, but he could not turn to look. One of the goddesses laughed.
"Perfect!" they chimed, and Link was dumped on the floor.
'what just happened?' he wondered. He checked his sword, puling it out of it's sheath. He gasped.
The normally metal blade of the sword was not flat and shiny but rounded and striped red and white. The normally intricate hilt was instead curved like a walking stick and also red striped and round. It felt slightly sticky, like candy. Link licked his fingers, which now had pink spots from the "sword" on them. They tasted sweet and minty.
"ooooo.......kkkkkk....." Link said, confused. He decided to take off the tunic, if that was what it would take to get the sword back to normal. He was very confused, as this was the Master Sword (he had "borrowed" it and "forgotten" to return it.). He knew without it, Hyrule would cease to exist as he knew it. He did not know what wou8ld happen to Hyrule if it became this striped candy stick, but he was willing to bet it wasn't good.
He tugged at the tunic for a good 20 minutes before he realized the obvious: it wasn't coming off. He was stuck in the tunic, and the sword was stuck as a minty curved confection. Hyrule was doomed.
I will upload one chapter a day until X-mas. What do you think? REVIEW!!!
