A/N: I'm gonna type up this intro and then go pour myself a big glass of wine because I've had a long day and I'm an adult and allowed to do that! ;p Anyway, I'll keep this short, I've wanted to do this crossover for a while so now I am, TP Zelda just for reference

Disclaimer: I am a college student, figure it out for yourself.

Encounter

Link yawned as he woke up from his nap under the shade of a large tree in Hyrule field, he had been up all night fighting various monsters across the field so the ability to sleep had been most welcome when most of the beasts had been scared off with the rising of the sun. His sleep hadn't been particularly good but the few hours he had picked up were better than nothing. His dreams had been haunted by the faces of his friends, scared and quivering at the sight of monsters in the glade. Worst of all, he hadn't been able to do anything to stop them, there had been pain in his head and then he had come to to see the glade empty…

The blondes' eyes squinted against the setting sun, the unearthly twilight that hung over the Eldin province and he shivered. He did not want to go… did not want to feel his body warp and mutate once again, not to mention that the imp that had decided he was going to be her mount for the remainder of her mission and his. He sighed and looked at the simple shield that lay on the ground next to him and the sword underneath it. He wasn't meant for this life… he was just a simple shepherd boy from Ordon… His thoughts flashed back to the princess and he took a deep breath, steeling himself against the horrors he was sure to face in the next couple days and continued his trek to the unnatural shadows.

-Legends-

Dante looked at the hellgate with a sigh, Trish had told him that it was a small one… And sure, it might be small but the half devil didn't want to have to deal with an extremely unusual one all by his lonesome either… He should've called Nero… the half devil sighed again, at least it was in an isolated area and he didn't have to worry about civilian casualties or even property damage as the farmer had said and quote "I don't care what happens as long as that damn thing is gone!" The devil hunter took that as a sign to be welcome to let loose if need be. He strapped his monstrous sword to his back and slammed the door to his car, eyeballing the demons that had gathered around the tear in the realms, as they were wont to do. Dante couldn't help but raise a brow when he didn't immediately recognize any of them… that was a first for sure… The half devil shrugged the matter off and dashed forward.

"Come on!" he shouted as he leapt into the fray. The monsters drew to him the second he was in range, small fry that usually came through smaller portals like this and easily taken down with a shot from either of his signature guns. What the half devil didn't expect to happen was for the portal to begin to close on its own, pulling everything that it could back into the hell that it had opened from. The hunter tried to dash out of the effected range but was clobbered off his feet by an incoming demon.

"Shit!" he swore as he flipped ass over teakettle into the blue and black portal.

He slowly started to come to some indiscriminate time later, that in and of itself was unusual, he'd been through hellgates before, he didn't usually lose consciousness, then again, he wasn't normally slammed in the head with a goblin like beast on the way either… Getting to his feet and dusting himself off the half devil noticed that he wasn't in hell either… at least, not any part that he'd been to before. It was particularly nice here, the setting sun casting warm light onto a huge plain and while the darkness in the distance could be ominous it wasn't by far the worst thing that he'd seen. He rubbed the back of his head, he couldn't have been out for long, the knot was still there and quickly healing itself.

The sound of footsteps could be heard and Dante tensed, his hand reaching back to the hilt of his sword, he needn't have worried though, as a teenager crested the hill, eyes widening upon seeing another person in the field. He paused and started to reach for the hilt of his own sword when Dante relaxed, presuming this kid wasn't a threat; he couldn't be much older than Nero if at all, he thought. Though the clothing was a bit odd… the kid was wearing a lot of green, not that he could judge having a favorite color… but it was very much a tunic and he could definitely see chain mail underneath the collar… Just what kind of world had he dropped into? They both just stared at one another for a moment, waiting for some kind of reaction, in that moment Dante also took notice of the long, pointed ears that stuck out from the kid's hair. He was the first to break the silence.

"You some kind of elf?" he said, he'd never been one for tact and he'd survived this long, it was much easier to just get straight to the point.

"What?" the kid asked, more than a little confused, he seemed to relax though, the man in front of him was strange to say the least, he was covered in red leather and had the biggest sword Link had ever seen strapped to his back, that and the white hair on a man who was clearly not elderly was enough to make the Ordonian suspicious. Link wasn't quite sure how to respond to the elf comment, it was a word he was fairly certain he'd read in a book referencing the genetic line to modern day Hylians.

"Your ears." The man pointed and Link's hand automatically drifted to his ears, he'd always been a bit self-conscious of them as growing up himself and Ilia had been the only ones with the ears of the ancients, as the elders had said but Link's were more prominent than Ilia's and he had been teased for them on occasion.

"I am Hylian if that is what you're asking." Link responded as best he could, looking over the man's shoulder to the darkness beyond "And just who are you?"

A/N: I'm gonna end it there cause the wine's getting to me a bit and I should go to bed so I can get up for work in the morning…

Till next time,
