Chapter One:
Where Am I?
Zelda tapped her fingers impatiently on the armrest of her Throne. She had been waiting for at least an hour now and still, no sign of Link. "What's going on?" she asked aloud. The two guards stared at her, unsure of what to do. "We could search outside to see if he got lost in the castle or in Castle Town, Miss," one of the guards suggested to her. Zelda shook her head. "No, no. There's no need for that. Link knows his way. He must be in trouble…" she said.
She was frustrated. She needed to talk to Link desperately, for Ganondorf was no longer locked away, dead, in the Twilight World. He was alive and powerful. She needed Link's help! But where in Hyrule was he? She had sent two letters to him, and she sent two soldiers for him, too. But the soldiers came back, saying he couldn't be found.
That's when everything seem to change, to twist, and then Zelda found herself floating, alone, in a place with colorful rainbows twisting this way and that, mixing there colors and then separating again. It was so confusing, that Zelda closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on her back on a cool, wet, wide cement pathway, staring up at the sky, which was a dark pink, almost like night. It was raining. She could see the bright stars up above her.
"Zelda?! Zelda! Zelda are you alright?" someone cried. Zelda was thrilled to see Link's worried face look down at her. "L-Link? I… where are we?" Zelda asked confusedly. Link pulled Zelda to her feet and she brushed the wet dirt off her dress.
"Were at a place called the Smash Estate, a large castle that houses the Smashers, under the safekeeping of the Master Hand." Link explained.
Zelda rubbed her temples. "I don't understand. How'd I get here?" she asked.
Link placed a hand on her shoulder and spoke softer. "Master Hand can explain it to you later on. But for now, let's get you out of the rain."
He led Zelda through the wet courtyard of the huge castle, keeping her a bit close so she would be a little dryer. Zelda was so confused and exhausted, she didn't even try to remember what Link was saying. She placed one hand above her head to shield her from the rain, and the other hand in Link's, so he could lead her. Together they trudged through the rain, and finally, they arrived at large, stone door with a silver lock and a large, spiky, clawed creature with a club that looked a lot like Bowser, only meaner.
"Password?" he grunted. He ran his fingers down the spiked club and gave Zelda an evil, toothy grin.
"Wireframe," Link said, sounding sure of himself. To Zelda's surprise, the spiked beast stomped out of the way and the lock turned and came loose, and then it finally opened. Link quickly led the wet and confused Zelda inside a room with a lot of different people.
She gasped at the person she saw, standing in front of the fireplace, turning around and giving her an evil grin. It was Ganondorf.
