~Why Zelda takes place in the past~

(Link in the 21st century)

*Link's cell phone starts ringing*

"Ya?"

"Link? It's me, Zelda. I got kidnapped by some bastard in a black limo. Get your ass over here and save me. I'm at the corner of Hyrule and Evil St."

"Shit, you picked the worst time in the world to get kidnapped. I just woke up, I'm 20 minutes late for work and I have a presentation at work today. My ex stole the car, I have to take my damn kids to school and I haven't even had my coffee yet. Why can't you just help yourself?"

"It's raining outside Link! I just got this sweater from Macy's two days ago and I lost the receipt. It'll get ruined if I try to walk him in the mud. What's the huge deal about taking another 10 minutes to pick me up?"

"Geez? It wouldn't be just 10 minutes, I'd have to drive ALL the way down to Hyrule, but first I'd have to get gas because my tank is almost empty, then I'd have to stop by the Temple of Time, pick the master sword out of the stone which can be a bitch on its own not even factoring in that I can't find those damn spiritual stones, then I'd have to drive just about everywhere to see where I left all those medallions... oh hang on I'm getting a text."

~Sage9908: Yo! Wer u at?

~Herooftime11: Can't talk,gettin Zelda out of a kidnapping.

~Sage9908: Ur supposed 2 b @ work an hour and a half ago!

~Herooftime11: What? Only half an hour. Its 930!

~Sage9908: Its 1030. Spring forward rember?

~Heroftime11: No way! Cant go 2 work, g2g help zelda. Tell the boss, ttyl.

"Anyway, Zelda, now I'm hour and a half late for work, I'm losing reception on my cell phone, I have to kill those bastards that won't give up those stupid medallions just so I can make some gay ass bridge to come rescue you. I've got other things to do."

"No way! If you don't get your ass over here we're through. You here me???"

"Shut up! I saved the world like eight times I'm ready to retire now. Don't complain to me about you getting kidnapped. I have a life you know."

"Forget you Link."

*Hangs up*

"I need a day off!"
