Prologue

The forest was almost always peaceful, with fairies thriving on the magical energy of the forest and keeping the forest alive. In the distance, the hoof beats coming from a magnificent horse, with cinnamon-colored hide and silky black main. Upon the horse rode a strange adult hyrulean in a green tunic that glimmered with magic. On the horse was a large bow and a huge quiver full of arrows, on the man's back was a large sword, and a mirror-like shield that could reflect even the darkest powers. Flying near the man's head were fairies, yelling in his ear.
"Link, you must hurry. Navi will not last long in Ganondorf's evil."
"Hurry, Epona! We must return to Hyrule in time!" the man called Link urged his horse to run faster.
"Navi and Zelda's lives depend on it!"
As they rode, Link's left hand fell to his side pocket, where he always kept the Ocarina of Time, a memento given by Zelda and an invaluable tool throughout his travels. Looking back he remembered Hyrule, a diverse land with the unique connection to the Sacred Realm through the Temple of Time. He remembered defeating the curse of the Great Deku Tree, the being that had been responsible for his growing up in the Forest with the immortal children called the Kokiri, and receiving the Sacred Stone of the Forest, Kokiri's Emerald, and how he had become an honorary Brother of the Gorons by clearing out Dodongo's Cavern and thus saving their food supply, and as a reward gained the Sacred Stone of Fire, Goron's Ruby, and how he had explored the belly of the Guardian Lord Jabu-Jabu with the Zora princess, Ruto, and inadvertently became engaged as he took the Sacred Stone of Water, Zora's Sapphire.
Link after his dealings with the various races in order to unlock the powers of the Six Sages of Forest, Fire, Water, Shadow, Light and Spirit. He recalled the Seventh, most powerful Sage - Zelda. remembering how after his legendary mission to save Hyrule as the Hero of Time - complete with going back and forth through the stream of time to resume adult and child bodies, and his fight with then dark king Ganondorf- Navi, his faithful fairy guide, had left to explore the world.
Link, after a year, saved up enough Rupees to buy Epona from the ranch girl Malon, and set out after his friend. With Epona, he had traveled far and wide, wile one day in the lost forest he was ambushed by a Skull Kid from Kokiri Forest, corrupted by the powers of the ancient Majora's Mask, the skull kid placed a curse on Link turning him in to a Deku shrub. The Ocarina of Time had proved inordinately useful there, healing himself of the curse the Skull Kid inflicted, and then turning back time to three days before the world would end every time he played the Song of Time, the sacred song that unlocked the Temple of Time back in Hyrule.
Link remembered making many people happy there with the help of another fairy named Tattle and gaining four very special masks that would give him four different bodies: the cursed Deku body the Skull Kid had imprisoned him in, the mask of a dead Goron chief with his speed and strength, the mask of a dead Zora rock star (Link snorted; what kind of a Zora played a fish-bone guitar?), and the most powerful of all, the Fierce Deity mask that gave him practically the power of a god. This mask, however, would only work when he was facing an immensely powerful opponent.
Link had continued traveling with his beloved horse for several years, but slowly, his dream to find Navi faded. One day wile traveling he was caught off guard by some mobblins but just by luck he was saved a girl who lived on her own in the forest, whose sole occupation was keeping the peace of the forest and protecting the fairies that lived there from various monsters with her incredible skill at the bow and arrow. She was even better than Link, and Link had been at it for almost a decade, Seleena was the girl's name. She had soft, long black hair that reached almost down to her waist when she let it down, and a lithe body accustomed to fast movements
After being nursed back to health by Seleena, Seleena told Link that Navi had passed through there a few years ago before Link arrived, and had spread word that Link was to be trusted. This was strengthened when Tattle and her brother Tale sent a message to the other fairies as well. As a result, the fairies quickly grew to like Link and often talked with him, sharing news of the outside world and giving him a way to keep track of Navi as she traveled.
When Link and Seleena were about twenty-three give or take a year or two (neither really kept track of the years), they got married, and a year later had a child, who they named Rorin. Rorin was ten now, the same age Link had been when he first assumed the title of Hero of Time, pulling the Master Sword from its place in the Temple of Time.
Which brought Link's mind back to his current situation. The fairies had rushed in earlier on the morning of his son's birthday, bearing terrible tidings. "Link! The dark one has broken part of the seal to the Evil Realm, and through his power has taken Navi hostage, who was passing through Hyrule!"
Link's eyes had widened, he ran over to the cabinet where he kept is belonging and stuff he got from his travels and grabed the Ocarina of Time from it shelf. "It has been a long time since I played this song," he said slowly, remembering his childhood friend and Sage of the Forest, Saria. He pulled the Ocarina to his lips and started played Saria's Song slowly, and then more quickly, his fingers recalling the patterns from long ago. this mystical song that connected his Ocarina to Saria's own and allowed them to talk mind-to-mind.

"Saria!" Link cried out mentally. "Can you hear me?"
"Link? Is that you?" Saria's voice came hesitantly.
"Yes, it's me! It has been such a long time since we talked!"
"Link, I'm so glad you called! We have a desperate situation here in Hyrule. Ganondorf has partially broken the seal on him to keep him in the Evil Realm with the power of the Triforce!"
"Yes, I heard about that from some of my fairy friends. I just wanted to check up on you guys and see if the Sages have it under control. Zelda should be able to seal him back in, right?"
" yes she would but, I'm afraid she can't. You see, Queen Zelda has been captured by Ganondorf again, and he's working on taking her Triforce of Wisdom from her! She needs her guardian, the bearer of the Triforce of Courage!"
Link made up his mind then and there. "I'll be over as fast as I can!"
"Thank you, and good luck! Remember that you'll always have the power of the Sages on your side through your medallions."
" I'll be there soon"

Link broke the connection and faced his wife and child gravely. "There's a situation in Hyrule. Zelda, the Queen, has been captured by the evil Ganondorf once more, and needs me to free her." He went back over to the closet where he kept some of his old items, like the Sage Medallions, and his Gilded Sword from Clock Town which had magically grown for Link to use. Packing plenty of bombs and his four magical masks, Link nodded to himself. "I'll be back as soon as I can." Giving his wife a quick kiss on the cheek then turning to his son Rorin "Son, take care of your mother for me."
Rorin nodded solemnly. He had never seen his father so serious before. "I will, Dad."
Link picked up his Ocarina once more. "I wonder… the warp song I learned when I was a child… do they work this far from Hyrule? Only one way to find out. To the Temple of Time!" He put the Ocarina to his lips and played the Prelude of Light. Link could feel the magic of the Ocarina straining to work, but it ultimately failed. " Dam too far out, I suppose. Guess it's time for good old Epona." He ran outside and played Epona's Song, the melody that called Epona to his side.
Epona's ears perked up, recognizing the song, and galloped towards Link, who started to run on foot the forest. Epona caught up to Link, who jumped and landed softly, riding his beloved horse bare-back. Pulling back on the rains to make her rear Link yelled "Ride, Epona! To Hyrule!"
wile on Epona's back, Link brought out the Ocarina yet again and played the Song of Time backwards, creating the Song of Inverted Time, which slowed down time.
After a three hours of traveling Link finally shook his head, freeing it from the memories because they were getting close to Hyrule. It was almost nightfall, but Link was almost there. Finally, they emerged from the tree's into the highly familiar plains. "Hyrule Plains," Link whispered, dismounting. "Thank you, dear friend," he said, patting Epona's flank affectionately. "But now I must travel quicker."
A quick rendition of the Prelude of Light later, Link warped to the Temple of Time. The three Sacred Stones were still in place, just as he had left them. Standing in front of them he then played the Song of Time and unsealed the door of time once again, striding confidently into the chamber and pulling the Master Sword, the bane of evil, from its pedestal. He laid the Gilded Sword at the foot of the pedestal and sealed the door once more with the Song of Time.
"It's time for Link versus Ganondorf, round two!"
