Hi all, this is my first FanFiction work. This is chapter 1 of hopefully many to come! Plz note that this is a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and that the game Majora's Mask, I think that's how it's spelled, is pretty much ditched. I personally have NOT played that game but do know its storyline, and do not like it, no offense meant. I hope you will enjoy!
The Legend of Zelda
Adventure in the Sacred Realm.
Chapter 1: The Sword of Evil's Bane Awakened
It was a crisp clear morning, but Link knew it would not last. "It never does," he thought. At any rate not for him He often wondered if it was just him or did everyone get the perfect days ruined by some trouble or another. He was standing on a fairly level plane completely covered in grass. Dressed as always in his suit of green, his sword and shield on his back, he never took chances when he could help it, and he usually could. Vaguely he wondered what he was going to have for breakfast; soon he decided to get some. The only question was where to get it? He did not know what the Gerudos ate, but then he was not sure he wanted to find out. They had a weird personality, and they lived in the desert. "No," he decided, "the Gerudos are not going to be my choice today." The Kokori maybe, he grew up eating their veggies. Of course they were vegetarians; they lived in a forest, but he did not feel hungry for that this time. Then quite without debate, he decided upon the gorons. They mainly ate rocks but they somehow made an excellent bombflower soup. Quite tasty despite the origin. The gorons were strange rock colored creatures that were about five foot five. Immediately he set out.
He had only gone a few paces when he stopped, took his ocarina out of his sack, it was a magic sack that was very small but could hold anything and everything without any weight, and played a slow but short tune then waited. Soon a horse appeared and rode right up to him. "Hello Epona," he said, as he jumped on her back, and gave her a nudge with his heels. Soon he was crossing the bridge over the river and getting off Epona, since she could not go up Death Mountain. Before he went up, he looked at the towering mountain. It had almost no plant but the occasional bombflower. Then taking a quick look around him started up.
Soon he had arrived at Kakariko Village, but he did not want to stop, despite the many shops there. Finally, he made it to Goron city, bought some soup, and ate. Then he headed back down. Suddenly he stopped. He saw a something down there; he had thought he knew every monster in Hyrule but apparently not. This thing had six long legs, a blood red breast, and an almost spider-like head, at least it had pincers and eight eyes, and worst of all he was carrying a large wooden club the size of a goron. One thing was for sure-the thing was looking for him. It was looking in his direction with all of its eyes unblinkingly focused at the road behind him. At first he didn't know why it had not already seen him, but then he realized that he was almost completely behind a rather large boulder. If he moved, then he would surely be seen. So, he ducked. As expected, the thing looked in his direction, but seeing nobody, he returned to the exact same point he was looking before. Link thought for a moment, then got out his bow drew an arrow, and got ready to spring out and fire.
Then he thought of something else. Quickly and quietly he ran his hand over his arrow and chanted some words. Then he leapt up, spinning in the air, drew his bow, and fired. The monster saw him instantly and blocked the arrow with his club. Fortunately, Link had thought of that. When the arrow made contact it sent out an icy blue light and froze the monster solid. Link knew that the magic would not last so he ran up drawing his shield and sword in the process and dealt three strong blows that should have killed it, but when it thawed it only looked angry. More than a little surprised, Link jumped out of the way just before the monster swung. Wondering how it was not dead, he drew a bomb, lit it, and threw. The monster saw the bomb and swung his club to deflect it. Unfortunately for the monster, it blew his club to smithereens. Link threw two more bombs, but neither seemed to hurt the creature much. So, Link charged and swung his sword, but it only glanced off. Highly annoyed and knowing now what would spoil his day today, he resorted to something more difficult. He decided to use the mythical move, known as the Triforce slash. He thrust his arm forwards and sent out a swift, straight golden beam. It hit the monster and imprisoned it a foot off the ground in a golden cage. The cage was formed of three golden triangles forming another triangle. Link rushed forward with his sword in hand and dealt a series of blows, and this time his sword cut straight through the beast. He climaxed with one final blow and killed it.
Link fell down, exhausted, and thought. "What was that thing? Where did it come from? How did it know where to find him?" A million questions swam though his head, and he had no idea how to answer them. Eventually he decided to focus on why it took the Triforce slash to kill it. The Triforce slash was a combination of all pieces of the Triforce, the most powerful thing in the world. The Triforce was three golden triangles, the first was the Triforce of power, the second was the Triforce of wisdom, and the third was the Triforce of courage. Link had acquired all three of these powers in his earlier travels. He even had proof that he had them, a small golden Triforce on his hand, which glowed through anything either when he wanted it to or when he used the real Triforce. To use one piece was perfectly fine, to use two would tire you a little bit, but to use all three, as he had just done, was to push the limits. The fact that this powerful a force was necessary to kill that thing was not good at all.
Next he inspected his sword, called Biggoron's sword. He had not named it that; Biggoron had. When he saw the sword he was astounded. He had swung the sword at everything from plants to rocks to metal, and not even blunted it, but now the sword was notched and bent. Biggoron could fix it, but it would take at least three days. "Well, better take it to him now," he thought. Slowly he trudged back up the mountain to give the sword to Biggoron.
On the way, he thought about what to do when he gave his sword to Biggoron. Obviously, he had to investigate where that thing came from. However without a sword, when there might be more of those things at any time, was obviously suicidal. He would have to wait somewhere, and the safest place around was Hyrule castle. Normally he could not go there, but if he could sneak past the guards and get to either Zelda or the King, he would be granted entrance. Deciding that that was the safest thing to do, he sprinted up the mountain. When he got to the top of the mountain, he paused and looked around. He did not know why, but he got the sense he was being watched. Then he walked to the edge the mountain, and suddenly, a huge rockish colored mass rose up and up and up, until Link was looking at a skyscraping tall goron. The goron was enormous, brownish-tan, and had a rocky, stony back, but other than that he looked pretty much human.
"Hello Biggoron," Link shouted, "I've got something for you."
Biggoron rubbed his eyes and looked down at him, "What is it?" he asked. Link responded by holding up his sword.
"Oh, this is surely my work," he said. "I will fix it for you, but it will take three days", he said. "Oh, I almost forgot. Take this that way I will know you are the one I have to give this back to," he finished, handing down a tablet. Link tossed the sword up to Biggoron and took off down the trail.
When he got to the bottom of the pass, he stopped and peered around the corner. What he saw proved his suspicions: three more of those things were there. Thinking desperately, Link ran though all the items he owned. Finally, he thought of something. Taking out his ocarina he wondered if this would work, he had never tried this on this ocarina, but he had no choice. Slowly and, unfortunately, loudly he played another tune-this one reminded him of light but then it was called the Prelude of Light. Then he felt himself dissolving. He transformed into dozens of small orb-like, light colored particles and floated away.
When he had reassembled, he looked around. He was in the temple of light, just like he had hoped. First, he had wondered if the magic would work on that ocarina at all, then he wondered if it would take him to the right place. But it had and he was not complaining.
The temple was the same as always. It was plain white marble and so enormous Link had often wondered if Biggoron had helped with it. However, he knew that was preposterous. It was made so long ago- nobody remembered when, and nobody included Biggoron. There was a pedestal on which were some words that described how the Hero of Time would open the door of time and obtain the Master Sword and the Triforce. Link thought that funny, because he was the Hero of Time, and he had already obtained both of the Items inside, though he had put the Master Sword back.
The Master Sword, there was a way to search for this new power. But he still needed to get to the castle. Five things were needed to open the door of time, and he had entrusted one to Zelda. Then he felt something move. He never understood it but every time he was supposedly alone he could tell when something moved.
Quickly he looked around, but he soon saw that he needn't have worried. Zelda was standing only a few paces away.
"I figured you would come here," Zelda said. It took a second to register this statement; Link was busy taking in Zelda herself. She was dressed in a mostly white dress with some purple; she was also decorated in a few gold accessories with sapphire placed in them. She was brown haired and the same age as Link.
Once he had caught up with her statement, Link said, "Well you were half right then. I only just got here".
"Yes, I watched you come in," Zelda returned, "but now is not the time for idle talk."
"Tell me about it," Link sighed.
Zelda frowned, "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Well, first I bumped into a creature with sword-busting skin, and then when I did kill it, I ran into three more and was forced to teleport here," explained Link.
"Oh and how did you get out of the first one?" Zelda asked.
"I used the Triforce slash," Link yawned.
"I told you only to use that in life or death situations," Zelda scolded.
"Yes, but number one: it was a life or death situation, and number two: you aren't always right," Link sighed. He was still tired from the strain of using the Triforce slash. "Anyway, I was hoping to see you. I need the ocarina of time."
"Why?"
"I need to open the door of time."
"For what reason?"
"To figure this mystery out."
"Explain."
Link sighed, "I already did."
"Funny, I did not hear you."
"Yes you did, the creature had sword-busting skin, remember."
Zelda hesitated, "So why do you need the door of time opened?"
"Duh, for the master sword, and I need to enter the sacred realm."
"Why the sacred realm?"
"Because the evil is not here."
"How do you know that?"
By this point Link was tired of her needing to know every little detail, "This is the last question I will answer because I need to get going. Last time, when Gannondwarf was our adversary, I felt that something was wrong, though I could not tell what. That's why I set out last time in the first place. This time I was caught unawares. My best guess is that the reason for that is because the evil is growing in the sacred realm, and don't say that that is impossible for evil to grow in the sacred realm because the sacred realm is, well, sacred. That's how you would be wrong. It's an amazing strategy really, but once you think about it it's obvious that that is what they're doing."
Zelda opened her mouth to say something, and then shut it again.
"Great, then the ocarina please," continued Link.
Zelda hesitated then reluctantly brought out the ocarina. Link took it, put it to his lips, and played a small, slow, and somehow meaningful tune. Magically, three gems floated out from his sack. The first was an emerald with a small golden swirl setting. The second was a ruby with a golden triangular setting pointing down, open at the top where the gem was set. The third was technically three smaller sapphires but just as beautiful and radiant, it had gold in between the gems and a little on the outside. These were the spiritual stones of the Kokori, Gorons, and Zoras. It had taken a long time to gain them, but as each one was given to him, they were rightfully his.
The stones floated out and toward the pedestal, then the spread out and came to rest on it. Simultaneously, a large grey Triforce above the Door of Time turned gold. The Door of Time itself was just a large stone slab for a wall. Then it opened. The wall split in half and swung out into the room, revealing a room behind. Although the outside of the temple was all the same dimensions, the room now seen was in many ways bigger. The width of the room was enough to see the difference, but the roof was so high, Link could not see the top. In the very center of the room was the Master Sword. It had a blue hilt, with a wing-like cross guard. The blade was rather short. In fact it was getting too short for Link to use. Its magic made it so that only he could wield it, and only good could touch the hilt. Finally, on the blade was a small Triforce.
Link approached the sword. He took hold of it with both hands, making sure the right hand was on top. The Triforce on his hand shone, and he pulled. The sword came out easily but slowly. Light shone all around him. The Sword of Evil's Bane, The Master Sword, awoke.
Link sheathed his sword, turned to Zelda and asked "Now, how do I enter the sacred realm?" Zelda only pointed to a wall. Link turned and walked toward the wall. Upon inspection the wall was just a wall. Link started to turn to Zelda to ask her what to do when his elbow brushed the wall. It shimmered and changed into a circular tunnel of energy. Link looked at Zelda, turned, and walked into the tunnel. Soon everything turned white, and Link felt himself dissolving, once again, into orbs, though this time they were pure white.
Well, that's it for chapter 1. I hope you all enjoyed it, I worked pretty hard on it!
