9000ish: Alas, it is time for another story.

?: What story is it?

9000ish: Why is your name three question marks?

?: Because you haven't announced the story, and giving my actual name would spoil the surprise, you idiot!

9000ish: Idiot? If you weren't so important to the story…

?: Just tell everyone what the story is.

9000ish: …Fine. It's the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker…with a twist! More action, more romance, more drama, and Link actually saying more than just "Come on!".

Tetra: Save it for the description. Just get on with it.

9000ish: You have to say the disclaimer, first.

Tetra: No way!

9000ish: Fine. I'll get someone else.

Link: I'll do it. ITSOVER9000ish doesn't own the Zelda series. It belongs to Nintendo.

9000ish: Thanks, Link. Story time!

The Legend of Zelda: Waker of the Winds

Prologue: The Legend

This is but one of the Legends of which the people speak.

Long ago, there was a prosperous land called Hyrule. Hyrule was abundant in life, with towering forests, green meadows, intimidating mountains, vast lakes, and sweltering deserts.

This perfect land held a great but terrible secret. Hidden somewhere throughout the area was an ancient relic known as the Triforce. The Triforce held immense power. Power so great that there were few who didn't set finding it as their life's goal.

Perhaps the most determined was a man from a race of desert thieves. But one thing made his endeavors different from those of hundreds of others: He found the Triforce. However, the golden herald refused him as master, and split into three sections, only one remaining with the evil man.

With the fragment he had at his command, he threw Hyrule into shadows as his hunt for the remaining pieces began.

When it seemed he would succeed in his plan, something happened that he did not intend. A man clothed in the green of the forest, using the blade of evil's bane, sealed away the evil man, and returned light to Hyrule.

This man, because he had traveled through time to save the kingdom, was known as the Hero of Time. But the Hero disappeared, presumably having left on another journey. His timing couldn't have been worse.

The evil man broke his seal, and returned to wreak havoc on the world. With the Hero gone, the evil could not be stopped.

All races of Hyrule prayed to their deities, the three golden goddesses who had created Hyrule and the Triforce, to keep them safe from the evil's wrath.

No one knows what happened to Hyrule. Some say it is just a myth. Others say it hides somewhere in this large world, waiting to be found.

Me: How was it? I made up some parts of the Legend. Next time, we start with Link's birthday. Hasta la vista, baby!
