Ladies and Gentlemen, I made this due to pure boredom. Yes, I have no life. Flame if you must.
This is but one of the legends of which the people speak...
Long ago, there existed a kingdom where a golden power lay hidden. It was a prosperous land blessed with green forests, tall mountains, and peace.
But one day, a man of great evil found the golden power and took it for himself. With his strength at his command, he spread darkness across the kingdom. But then, when all hope had died, and the hour of doom seemed at hand...
...a young boy clothed in green appeared as if of nowhere. Weilding the blade of evil's bane, he sealed the dark one away and gave the land light. This boy, who traveled through time to save the land, was known as the Hero of Time. The boy's tale was passed down through generations until it became legend.
But then... a day came when a fell wind began to blow across the kingdom. The great evil that all thought had been forever sealed away by the hero...
...once again crept forth from the depths of the earth, eager to resume its dark designs.
The people believed that the Hero of Time would again come to save them. But the hero did not appear. Faced by an onslaught of evil, the people could do nothing but appeal to the gods. In their last hour, as doom drew nigh, they left their future in the hands of fate.
What became of that kingdom? None remain who know.
The memory of the kingdom vanished, but its legend survived on the wind's breath. On a certain island, it became customary to garb boys in green when they came of age. Clothed in the green of fields, they aspired to find heroic blades and cast down evil.
The elders wished only for the youths to know courage like the hero of legend.
Toon Link merely laughs as he pulls the final page from the book. What follows is the flush of a toilet. Toon Link stretches his arms and gets ready for the day and does his daily routine.
It's nighttime, and Link was about to go to bed, when suddenly, he hears the sound of other kids. He begins to sneak around them.
"Think he's in there?" A Prankster Leader in a team of kids asks. He points to Toon Link's house.
"All right. Let's get him!" Another kid is about to charge in, but the leader stops him.
"Whoa. Hold on. Do you know what that boy can do to you?" The Leader whispers.
"Yeah, I heard he wields a sword." A third member adds.
Toon Link sneaks up behind them and laughs.
"It's him!" One of the yells.
Toon Link glares at them.
"You'll do what?" One of them asks, surprised.
"Back! Back, kid! Back! I warn ya!" The second member waves his torch at Toon Link.
Link calmly licks his fingers and extinguishes the torch. The Pranksters shrink back away from him. Link roars very loudly and long and his breath extinguishes all the remaining torches until the kids are in the dark.
"The part where we run away? Sounds good to me!" One of them screams. The kids scramble to get away.
Link laughs as they run. He then looks down and picks up a piece of paper. He reads: 'Wanted: Children with Pointy Ears'. He rolls his eyes and walks back to his house.
THE NEXT DAY
There is a line of pointed ear children. The head of the guard sits at a table paying people for bringing the pointed ear children to him. There are cages all around.
"All right. This one's full. Take it away! Move it along. Come on! Get up!" One of the guards exclaim.
"Next!" The Head Guard announces.
"Please, don't turn me in. I'll never be stubborn again. I can change. Please! Give me another chance!" A little girl with a blue dress that has flowers on it is wearing a hood to hide her face.
"Oh, shut up." The Old Lady jerks on a rope tying her up.
"Oh!" She exclaims in pain.
"Next! What have you got?" The Head Guard asks.
"This girl's name is Aryll, and she has pointy ears!" The Old Woman exclaims.
"Right. Well, that's good for fifty rupees, if you can prove it." The Head Guard gestures to her hood.
"Oh, go ahead, little fella." The Old Lady tries to take it off, but she keeps it on.
Aryll then looks up at her and gives the lady puppy eyes.
"Well?" The Head Guard is becoming impatient.
"Oh, oh, she's just... she's just a little nervous. She has ears like an elf! Take it off, you boneheaded dolt..."
"That's it. I've wasted enough time. Guards!" The Head Guard orders.
"No, no, she does! She does. You just have to help me take off her hood."
"Get her out of my sight."
"No, no! I swear! Oh! She has pointy ears!"
The guards grab the old woman and she struggles with them. One of her legs flies out and kicks a fairy out of another guard's hands, and her cage drops on Aryll's head. She gets sprinkled with fairy dust and she's able to fly. Her hood falls off when she starts flying.
"Hey! I can fly!" Aryll says in shock
"She can fly! She can fly!" Some of the kids exclaim in excitement.
"She does have pointy ears!" The Head Guard gasps.
"Ha, ha! That's right, fool! Now I'm a flying, girl with pointy ears. You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you have never seen a girl fly. Ha, ha!" Aryll gives a raspberry, but her victory is short when the fairy dust begins to wear off.
"Uh-oh." Aryll says as she begins to sink to the ground. She hits the ground with a thud.
"Seize her!" The Head Guard commands. A garrison of troops is formed and Aryll takes off running. "After her!"
"She's getting away! Get her! This way!" The Garrison gives pursuit. "Turn!"
Aryll keeps running and she eventually runs into Toon Link. Literally. Link turns around to see who bumped into him. Aryll looks scared for a moment, but then she spots the guards coming up the path. She quickly hides behind Link.
"You there. Child!" The Guard encounters Toon Link.
Toon Link raises an eyebrow.
"By the order of Lord Demniss I am authorized to place you both under arrest and transport you to a designated resettlement... facility?" The Head Guard begins to show his fear as Toon Link pulls out his sword.
Toon Link points behind the Head Guard.
The Head Guard turns around to see where he is pointing and he sees that the other men have run off. The guard tucks tail and runs off. Link laughs and goes back about his business and begins walking back to his cottage.
"Can I say something to you? Listen, you were really, really, really something back here. Incredible!" Aryll smiles.
Toon Link turns around and Aryll is gone. He turns back around and Aryll is right in front of him.
"Yes. I was talkin' to you. Can I tell you that you were great back here? Those guards! They thought they were the best things ever. Then you showed up, and bam! They were trippin' over themselves like they had their shoes untied. That really made me feel good to see that." Aryll laughs. " Man, it's good to be free."
Toon Link turns around to give her a glance.
"Why I don't celebrate with my own friends? Well, I don't have any friends. And I'm not going out there by myself. Hey, wait a minute! I got a great idea! I'll stick with you. You're a lean, mean fighting machine with that sword. Together we'll scare anybody that crosses us." Aryll continues to follow Link.
Link turns and regards Aryll for a moment before roaring very loudly.
"Oh, wow! That was really scary!" Aryll applauds. "If you don't mind me saying, if that doesn't work, your breath certainly will get the job done, because you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something, 'cause you breath stinks! You almost burned the hair outta my nose, just like the time..."
Link covers her mouth but Aryll continues to talk, so Link removes his hand.
"...then I ate some rotten berries. I had strong gases leaking out of my butt the whole day. Not a pretty sight." Aryll says.
Toon Link turns to her again.
"I'm following you, because I like you." Aryll smiles. She then starts to sing. "'Cause I'm all alone, There's no one here beside me, My problems have all gone, There's no one to deride me, But you gotta have friends!"
Toon Link holds his ears and screams. He turns to her once more.
"Take a good look at you, eh? Well..." Aryll examines him. "You're really short?"
Link shakes his head.
"Oh, right! You're also a kid. I knew that. You know, it really doesn't bother me." Aryll admits.
Link looks at Aryll oddly.
"Really, really." Aryll replies.
Link seems surprised.
"I like you. What's you name?" She asks.
Toon Link gives a simple nod.
"Link? That's kind of funny. You know, I should think of a nickname for you. I always wanted a big brother to look up to... I know! How about Big Brother?" Aryll asks.
Link shakes his head.
"Oh, don't be so silly. It's a perfect name for you." Aryll giggles. "Well, you know what I like about you, Big Brother? You got that kind of I-don't-care-what-anybody-thinks-of-me attitude. I like that. I respect that, Big Brother. You're all right."
They come over a hill and you can see Toon Link's cottage.
"Whoa! Look at that. Who'd want to live in place like that?" Aryll cringes at the sight.
Link gives her an irritated look.
"Oh! And it is a lovely home you have! Just beautiful. You know you are quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget." Aryll turns to see a giant rock nearby. "I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder. I guess you don't entertain much, do you?"
As Link heads down the hill and turns to her.
"You like privacy? You know, I do too. That's another thing we have in common. Like I hate it when you got somebody in your face. You've trying to give them a hint, and they won't leave. And then there's that awkward silence..." Aryll then breaks off into awkward silence. "Can I stay with you?"
Toon Link is confused.
"Can I stay with you, please?" Aryll adds a please on the end of her already said question.
Link nods.
"Really?" Aryll seems excited.
Seriously this time, he shakes his head.
"Please! I don't wanna go back there! You don't know what it's like to be a kid." Aryll says. There is a pause while she looks at Link, and reconsiders what she just said.
"Well, maybe you do. But that's why we gotta stick together. You gotta let me stay! Please! Please!" She pleads.
Link gives body language to calm her down. He opens the door to his home, and she rushes in. Aryll hops into a chair.
"This is gonna be fun! We can stay up late, tell each other scary stories, and in the morning... I'm making waffles!" Aryll plans for the night.
Link growls in anger.
"Where do, uh, I sleep?" Aryll asks.
Link points outside.
"Oh, well, I guess that's cool. I mean, I don't know you too well, and you don't know me too well, so I guess outside is best, you know. Here I go. Goodnight."
Link slams the door behind her.
"I mean, I do like the outdoors. I do like to look up at the stars. I'll just be sitting by myself outside, I guess, you know. By myself, outside." Aryll sighs and decides to start singing to cheer herself up. "I'm all alone...there's no one here beside me..."
