A rooster crowed outside. The sun was pouring
through the open window as it announced the arrival of a bright new day in
Kokiri Village. The birds were singing, the water was trickling in the stream,
and the Kokiri children were playing outside.
Well, almost all of them.
Link was lying on his wooden bed, rolling all
over the place, snoring loudly. He had slept in again, and this time, it was
pretty late. The high sun announced that it was noon, and our lazy hero was
still in bed. Finally, he jolted awake when he heard a voice:
"Link! Link, you sleepyhead, wake
up!"
He opened his eyes, expecting to see his
fairy, Navi. But instead, he saw two huge green eyes. He jumped up, and
realized as she laughed that it was Saria, one of his friends.
"How long are you going to sleep? You
sound like a a saw sawing wood!" she joked.
"I'm... I'm really tired..." Link
yawned. "For some odd reason, I'm just incredibly tired..."
"Oh!" Saria cried out, pointing out
the window. "Look, Link!" Link looked out the window to see a fairy
hovering outside the window.
"So?" Link said, surprised to see
that she had'nt reciognized Navi.
"Does this mean that you've gotten a
fairy!" she giggled excitedly. "Oh, wait till I tell the whol
village!" And she ran outside, eager to tell the rest of the kids the big
news. Link, however, wasnt too choked up about this.
"How come Saria didnt reciognize
you?" he asked Navi when she hovered near him.
"Don't you remember? You were sent back
into the past! Our whole entire adventure never even happened!" she nearly
shouted.
"Then how come I remember it?" Link
asked her, twiddling his finger in his ear since she had yelled so loudly.
"Because, you're the hero, and I'm your
fairy!" Navi said proudly. "We both came back together! Saria from
the future and the rest of them didnt come back, because they werent with
us!"
"B...but doesnt that mean that Gannondorf
could come back to haunt us again?" Link said, alarmed.
"No, because in the future, when he's
supposed to come back into full power, he's really dead!" Navi explained.
"Oh. Well, lets go!" Link said,
jumping out of bed. He walked over to the door, and Navi followed uncertainly.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"To Hyrule Castle. I wanna see the
Princess." Link said. He started climbing down the ladder back down to
earth, but Navi stopped him.
"Weren't you listening to a word that I
said?" she sighed. "The Princess doesnt reciognize you! This is the
past, BEFORE she met you!"
"Well, I'll just go introduce
myself!" Link said, climbing down the rest of the ladder and walking
toward the exit of Kokiri Village.
"Well, you might want this!" Navi
called as she zipped back inside. She returned pushing Link's satchel. It fell
over the ladder, and hit the ground with a loud clunk. Link retrieved it, and
was surprised to find all of his items still in it.
"Lemme guess: I came with my satchel, so
it still has all the stuff from the future." Link grinned.
"Now you're getting it." Navi said.
The two of them walked out of the forest, ignoring the Kokiri kid who screamed
at them not to go out or else they would die a horrible death. They both knew
that Link was really a Hyrulian, therefore he wouldnt die. They walked out, and
Link sheilded his eyes from the bright sun of the field. It was a beautiful day
in Hyrule, and Link didnt want to waste it. He started running toward the
castle, but he skidded to a stop halfway there, at Lon Lon Ranch.
"Why'd you stop?" asked Navi, who
had run right into him.
"I wanna say hi to some... friends."
Link said, smiling. He walked into the ranch, with Navi following, grumbling.
