The scientists slowly walked into the remains of the ancient temple, set deep into the hillside of rural Japan. It had been found only days ago by two boys, exploring in the hills who had stumbled upon it's well concealed entrance, it had taken two days with a punmatic drill to get through the huge stone that had guarded the entrance, but it was well worth it.

The explosive had just gone off, blasting away the last of the entrance and revealing the butifully carved gold symbol above the doorway, it showed three golden triangles on top of each other, two at the bottom one at the top. It was well known symbol in academic circles, it was known as the symbol of an ancient Japanese civilisation that had been lost in the depths of history.

Indeed the civilisation had only just been discovered, it was an incredible find really, a civilisation over 7,000 years old, the oldest ever found. And until 2 years ago it had been hidden from everyone, 2 years ago the first of these great temples had been found, and the secrets of this ancient civilisation had been uncovered.

The civilisation had called here lands Hyrule, there ruler was unknown but his daughter was called Zelda. They also had a legend that featured a boy called Link that they called the Hero of Time. Nothing more was known about them than that-that was all that had been translated from the first temple, but the temple was vast and the scientists that could read there language few, ad so only part of the first chamber had been found.

The first scientist swung his torch round the ruins and gasped, the chamber was huge, gold sparkled from everywhere, huge stain glass windows depicting the Hero of Time where on the walls. The Temple had originally been built as a huge dome but had been buried somehow many years ago.

A statue stood at one end, an incredibly realistic carving of a boy, the Hero of Time. The torchlight made it look almost real, the tones of the painting where incredible, they looked like real, pale flesh, the boys hair, made out of horsehair-must be- moved in the gentle wind. In the cool confines of the temple the statues clothes hadn't rotted away. Then the scientists torch beam passed something that glinted.

It was a sword, a long butiul blade with a blue handle and a sharp edge that looked like it would through stone-indeed it had, for the blade was set into the crypts floor. "Incredible." Breathed the scientist taking steps forward, leaving footmarks in dust that covered the marble on the floor. The reached the sword and marvelled at the incredible artwork and lines that covered the sword. The reached out to touch it and it was then that the shouting started.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The scientist looked up and saw the statue, no it wasn't a statue, it was alive, a boy, but that's impossible, after 7,000 years…. The scientist collapsed, fainting as the boy reached the sword, in one swift movement pulled it out of the stone and kept running. He would not let Ganondolf get it!

The boy kept on running, out through the entrance, past stunned workers, delighting in the smell of the air and the strain of his muscles after 7,000 years in a vault. Someone shouted behind him but he didn't understand what they where saying and so he continued running through the forest that had once been his home.
