In celebration of the new Zelda game, Link Between Worlds (which I have successfully beaten), I decided that I'd do a novelization of this game as well. Warning, if you haven't played the game before, there WILL be spoilers, so viewer discretion is advised.
If you're not familiar with my work, then allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zehro and I am a 'Demon' Assassin. I have a partner named Vicky who is my co-author. Oh, and she's an actual demon. The entire Demon Assassin crew consists of me, Vicky, Link, Zelda, Navi and Malon. Unfortunately, Navi had to go to therapy to cure herself of her annoying attitude and Malon was forced to go back home to her father. So now it's just me, Vicky, Link and Zelda. I'm sure the other two will be back soon, though.
I mainly work with humor stories, with my best kinda being novelizations of Zelda Games. I occasionally do more branched off stories like everybody else does, but we all move at our own pace, right? I mean-
Vicky: Can you just start it already?!
Zehro: Ladies and gentlemen, here she is. The Demon Assassin herself, Victoria Gert-
Vicky: Yeah, they don't need my full name. Now, can we start?
Zehro: One last thing: I'm going to be playing through the game again on Hero Mode, which is a much harder mode than the original quest. I'm not sure if it'll make that much of an effect, but let's see if it does.
Link: Alright, I'm in the outfit. Geez, I haven't worn these clothes since 'Link to the Past.' And my hair isn't usually this long on the sides.
Zehro: ...you do realize that the Link from LttP and LBW are different people, right?
Link: Wait... so I didn't have to dress like this?!
Zehro: Well, since you have it on, go ahead.
Zelda: Okay, I'm ready. Geez, I really am excited that I'm finally gonna meet my alter ego, Princess H-
Zehro: Don't give away the name! At least, not yet. Alright, you two! Into your places!
Link: Right!
Zelda: Got it!
(Both run off)
Vicky: ...this story is gonna crash and burn, isn't it?
Zehro: Oh, maliciously.
The Legend of Zelda:
Link Between Worlds: Retold!

The Triforce... a beautiful relic held dear by the kingdom of Hyrule. Coveted by so many people, yet protected by the Royal Family. Legend has it, if someone with a pure heart lays their hand on it, then whatever that person's wish is will come true. However... the same can be said about someone with a truly evil heart.
Though there is a secret to the Triforce that no man in Hyrule has ever heard of. This... is that secret's story.

"Ngh... wha?"
Darkness surrounded the room, with only a single bright light shining proudly: The Triforce. It's radiance brightened up the darkness very slowly. Then... it started fading. Flames started surrounding the ancient relic. Eerie music played in the background as the Triforce's glow grew dimmer and dimmer. Then, the unthinkable happened.
It shattered. Shattered into a million pieces.
A single person could be seen standing in the darkness. A young boy with long blonde hair, wearing a green tunic and bearing a mysterious sword and shield. Out of the darkness came two bright red eyes, that stared the young boy down intensely. A growl came from the unknown beast. The boy took a step back, taking deep breaths. It was clear that he had been wounded severely. Though in a sorry condition, he still held his sword in front of him, shield to his side, and prepared to fight the monster once again. The monster let out a fierce roar, causing the boy to reel back. The shrill scream of a young girl was heard. Then the world went black.

Knock knock knock!
A knocking noise rang throughout the darkness...
Knock knock knock!
It grew louder and louder, almost deafening...
Knock knock knock! "Hey! Link!" came a voice following the knocking sound.
An even younger boy opened the door to the house and stepped inside. He frowned at the boy who was still asleep in his bed. "Still sleeping? Geez, how late did he stay up?" The kid stood right next to his bed. "LINK! WAKE UP!"
Link's eyes darted open as he fell out of he's from the sudden noise. He rubbed his head. "Ow! What is it, Gulley? I was in the middle of a dream! I was fighting that monster again..." Gulley crossed his arms. "Well, I'm sorry to interrupt your fight with the big, bad monster, but you gotta wake up! I mean, I don't wanna have to wake you up every morning! I have chores to do!"
Link rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and looked over to Gulley. The young boy wore a yellow shirt that seemed a bit too big for him, along with a green vest that was just his size. Gulley wore a green sock hat, just like Link did. His hair was the same color as Link's too. His hazel eyes stared back at Link. "I'll be waiting outside, so get up - and let's get going!" And with that, Gulley walked out of the house. Then he poked his head back in. "Papa's really angry, y'know. He said that you can't be a blacksmith if you don't get up at the crack of dawn." That's when Gulley left.
Link stood back up, rubbing his head again. He walked towards the door but stopped as something caught his eye. In the corner of his house was a rather creepy looking mask. It was in the shape of a heart, with ten spikes protruding out of it. The mask had various colors here and there and had two eyes that pierced into the soul of anyone who looked at it. Link raised an eyebrow at it. "Weird... I don't remember having something like that... oh well. I have no time to think about it now. I gotta get going!" With that, Link rushed out of the door as fast as he could.
Judging by how it was a bit foggy outside, Link could tell that it was still pretty early in the morning. Gulley tugged on his sleeve. "Papa is steaming mad that you're late again. C'mon, let's get to his shop." Link nodded. "I just hope he doesn't fire me..." They started running down the path. Link stopped for a second and walked over to his weather vane. Gulley gave him a weird look. "What're you doing?" he asked as Link spun the weather vane around. "Saving," he replied nonchalantly. "Alright, I'm done. Let's go!"
"Alright. So tell me, how's that shield suits you, Captain?" the blacksmith asked.
The captain brandished it a bit and took a better look at it. "Superb work as always. But I'd expect nothing less from a master like yourself." The blacksmith scratched the back of his head. "I do what I can, Captain," he said, a little embarrassed. "It also helps that I have a good source of ore. That shield's tougher than ever, now."
The captain nodded. "I wouldn't trust my gear with anyone else. No one can bring the best out of a sword quite like you, Terry." The captain cleared his throat. "Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time that I forge ahead. Busy day." And with that, the captain opened the door and left. At that same time, Link walked through the door a little sheepishly with Gulley following behind him.
"LATE AGAIN?!" Terry the Blacksmith yelled at Link. Link scratched the back of his head and gave his boss a nervous smile. "Y-yes sir. I kinda overslept toda-"
"I don't wanna hear it," Terry responded. "I've heard that story one-too-many times. Now come on! We have work to do!" Link nodded and walked over to his boss.
"Oh my!" the blacksmith's wife called out. Terry turned to her a bit surprised by her outburst. "Sheila? What's wrong?" he asked. Sheila pointed to the table next to the other worker. "The captain left without taking his new sword!" Terry turned back to the table. Sure enough, the sword was still there. "What?!" he shouted. "He's gone off unarmed?!"
Terry turned back to his apprentice. "Well, lucky for you, Link. Instead of getting an earful, you've got an errand. Take that sword and hurry to the captain." Link nodded and grabbed the sword off of the table. "Where's he off to?" Link asked. "Where else do you think he'd go to?!" Terry shouted. "He's off to Hyrule Castle! You still groggy, boy?" Link shook his head. "No, sir. I'm on my way!" Link left the house and ran towards Hyrule Castle.
Zehro: I think that does it for the prologue. Hey, who's up for chapter one, now?!
Link: I am! Sorta...
Zelda: Will I be in it?
Zehro: Possibly...
Vicky: Just do the damn chapter already.
Zehro: Alright, let's do it!
