"Light My Path" was originally created on a dare in 2005. But after multiple version (most notably on ) it has been reincarnated for maximum excitement and plot twists. Later inclusions of various character created complications and more jumble. After a trip to Zeldawiki and reading various Fanfiction I have formulated an intense plotline going on a journey through the eyes of our fair hero Link. Many characters will be included in the beginning part of the story and will be separated into multiple parts. Inbetween each section there will be a month long wait so I can reassemble myself and make necessary changes to the plotline and write ahead of time. But hear me blab on about the story just read the thing. I do not own Legend Of Zelda. Shigeru Miyamoto does *cries*

"That's them all Link. You should get some rest , it been a long day",
Link brought Epona to a slow halt as Fado locked the barn. Fado was right. He was tired and could enjoy a long sleep on his bed. Stabbing his heal sharply into his horse he began the short journey to his humble abode. The village had not changed a bit. The path still was covered with the same rocks and the residents always kept a low profile in here. His house got bigger as he approached it. It's ageing wood deck still stood where it was. He dismounted quickly as not to waste anytime. Grabbing his brush he stared brushing the horses Maine. Epona always seemed to like being brushed , her back hoof shaking in confirmation. He would be appreciating this moment but his mind was pre-occupied with something else. It's been a year since it happened. The day his best friend sealed her fate by breaking the connection among his world and hers. Her name was Midna. He continued petting his horse. He felt down whenever he thought about Midna. What Midna had to him had made him temporarily depressed , disregarding everything not essential. He even woken up thinking Midna had return but went back unstatified. Maybe all he needed to do was sleep in home... alone.
"Link," Ilia spoke behind from Link. He noticed her face and turned back to the ground. He wished he could dig a hole to fit his worries and shove all his pent up sadness under each pebble. "Link!" she spoke louder this time , catching him of guard. "What's wrong. You seemed more spaced out than usual. I almost screamed trying to get you out of your zone." she stated smiling strangely. Even with the ominous glow of the temporary twilight around them Ilia seemed so nice and innocent
"Thanks , but I am fine.", he spoke unamused by the blonde chicks interruption. Ilia had always been spontanious like him. He even had a 'thing' for her five years ago. It was phase that came and went. Ilia tends to always wear the same off-white gown and brown pants. She managed to make another purse that looks close to her old one that she lost when she was abducted by the bublins. Her innocence never faultered and her smile was ever so true.
"Oh yeah!" she said. "You have been petting the hoarse in the exact same spot for a minute now.", Ilia pointed out. Another thing about her is that , like Link , has a really good judgement and sence of humor. That could be as good as it can be bad. Link stared at his hand which Triforce was glowing brightly and turned back with a defeated look on his face.
"So." Ilia spoke. "You going to tell me about what happened to make you so sad" she spoke innocently caused Link to tear his eyes from his hand . "You know what happened. The same thing I told you. Memories of what happened you know.", he shifted in his seat again to look at his hand. "I need some more time to recover.",
Ilia spat out. "WHAT! More time to recover. You have had too much time to recover. And plus ; you need to be in Castle Town for your celebration tomorrow. It's been one year since you defeated the dark beings.",
Link sighed. She was right about the celebration at least. Everyone in Castle Town and around Hyrule would be there to honour Link. No matter how hard Link tried to shake it off he knew he had to go to the castle and meet Zelda and the rest of Castle Town. Feeling defeated , he turned to Ilia and was about to open his mouth before Ilia spoke. "It only five o'clock. If we both take our horses we could make it to Castle Town and stay at Telma new place."
Link smiled. He enjoyed the fact that she had a good memory. Telma had found Ilia stranded in Hyrule Field a year ago and took her in her company. She couldn't even remember her name. She took her in and took care of her the best she could. After Telma left she and "the group" spread the word about Link and his adventures and before she knew it her buisness was booming. She even got a grant to build more of her bar making it a bed and breakfast and bought "the group" a home in Kakariko so they could plan their buisness. Althought it wasn't as busy as before they still helped with crime problems.
"You go get Fillia and Epona and meet me here. I need to get something." he spoke walking backwards intill he hit his latter. Suddenly a big spider landing on his head and clawed at his skull doing little damage. With a quick and sudden draw of his sword , the bug curled up and exploded into black squares and disappeared into nothingness. Ilia ,still in shock, nodded her head and slowly backed away into the crevace towards Ordon Village. Link sighed and turned around and climbed up the ladder. Each step more heavy than the last. He walked up inserted his key in the metal lock. A click echoed as the lock fell away to the ground making a load noice as it connected with the wood. Slowly, he opened his door and stepped into his abode.
His home remained the same. The same papers on the desk and the same bottles on the shelf. He walked loudly along the hardwood floor ; it creaking every step , and latched his hand on a grey and golden chest labelled in neat hand-writting labled "Memories , Do NOT Open Unless Absolutly Necessary.". He couldn't even think of opening it since he returned. He picked up one neat and one oddly shaped paper parcel. He grabbed the pointed one and felt it edges tug a hole in his heart. How could he have tooken it from it's burial ground at Hyrule Field. It felt wrong for him to take it , but he needed it to get out of depression. Sadly , it didn't work.
Turning around , with his hands in his pockets , he headed out to the door. He almost felt like crying. For reassurance he wiped under his eye. No moisture. At least it didn't bring him to tears. He opened his door , making sure to turn around and lock it. Once he climbed down the latter he turned around ; only to see hazel eyes pointing at him.
"Ilia. You scared me there." he spoke faking a chuckle. She scared him out of his sences. She always had a way of showing up to scare people.
"Ohhh." she giggled peevishly. "Sorry. Did I scare you." the blond girl scratched her round ear. "Oh wait!" she spoke giggling once again. "I got Fillia again , we should get going now. Epona's right there , I brushed her while you were working so she should be good for the day." she smiled happily.
"Yeah , let go." Link walked to Epona and quickly mounted on his horse. A swift kick brought Epona to attention , sneering to prove it.
"Come on , Ilia. We got to ride always there before the stores close so we can sleep in our two purchased rooms." he nudged his horse forward. Ilia did as well. They were both moving walking speed. Link leading the two through another crevace around a small bend.
"Purchase? You mean rent." she looked startled.
"We will be staying there for a while. I have saved up enough Rupees to rent the room. And Telma already booked them a room ahead of time. After all he saved Hyrule. It was the least she could do. "I'll buy you a room. I should have enough."
SHe giggled. "I hope so. Your wallet looks like it's about to expload. You stuffed it full of Rupees." she looked confused once again.
Link sighed. "Agitha wouldn't let me have the huge wallet because I didn't have a bug." he spoke angrily talking profanties about her but stopped to stare at the horizon. Ilia had reaized it and stared with him. All she seen was the sun going down and a ominous cloud hanging over. "What you looking at." she blurted out
Link snapped back. "The sunset calms me down."
She looked disgusted at the comment. "It makes me creeped out. I get deja-vu from looking at it. Do you have Deja-Vu."
Link quickly contined. "Trust Me." he laughed out nudging Epona even faster. "You don't know the half of it.".
