Link plopped down on a smooth stone at the edge of the towering waterfall. He pulled out his Sheika slate and frowned. "Who am I?" he thought aloud. The birds overhead formed a "V" formation and flew with purpose of direction. Lucky, thought Link. They know who they are and where they are going. I have been wondering around this wilderness for two whole days and still no sign of one human being. If it weren't for the apples and nuts I found, I'd be dead. What if everyone is dead? What if I'm the last person alive?
Heavy footsteps trumped up the hill below him. Perhaps, I'm not alone. Link peeped over the edge of the hill that led to the falls. "What are those things?" he whispered. Two giant pig beasts with rough horns and ears like bats strode up the hill towards the top of the waterfall.
"Come on. The human can't be far; I can smell him."
Link ducked down. They're looking for me? I've got to protect myself. He reached for the largest branch he could find and positioned himself behind a tree.
"Here, Link. Come on boy. We've come to take you home."
Something tells me you will do no such thing! Hmm. How do you know my name?
"Look! There he is behind the tree. Get him!"
Link wacked one of the red creatures with his tree branch. He poked the blue one in the face.
"I got you now, Hylian!" Link backflipped through the air and landed on the red monster's back simultaneously breaking his branch over the creature's head. How did I do that?
The blue monster swung a wooden spear at Link. OOUUFF. Link sailed backwards over the edge of the deadly waterfall.
"That'll teach him," said the blue one.
"You idiot," screamed the tan one. "Now we have to find him again. Hurry, before he washes down river."
Link hit the icey-cold water. Pain splintered through his body. He opened his eyes and searched for the surface. Bubbles swirled around his body from his impact. He grabbed feverously for rocks and branches, as the river's current drug him through the water like a rag doll. He cried out in pain as his shoulder slammed into a rock. That scream released what little breath he had left. Darkness cradled him as the river continuedly somersaulted his body down its unforgiving banks.
