Author's note: I DO NOT own the legend of Zelda franchise. That solely belongs Nintendo.

So with out further ado, I give you my first story Love lost to the shadows

Wait a few more notes.

Italics mean that a character is thinking

Bold means a character is screaming

Anything with an apostrophe means that a character is talking.

Most of the story will be Link's point of view until chapter two at least

Now on with the story.

Chapter One-I think I'm losing my mind.

"It's been Ten years since I defeated Ganon. Ten years since Zelda gave me my childhood back. I can never thank her enough for that. Even though I can never thank her enough for returning me a life to live, I can also never forgive her for taking away memories from people. Malon, I think I fell in love with her. Now she thinks of me as the guy with the green hat. Hmmph. It's funny to think of how life treats us. We're born, we live, and then we die. No one that's alive on this planet knows what's on the other side of death. Anyways, I got work to do. Being a mercenary is not an easy job. Oh forget it. I think I could take a day off. You know what? I think I'm losing my mind.. I mean it feels weird, it's like there is something missing in my head. I feel empty. Why am I telling you this? Well the main reason is, you're the only one I have to talk to. I mean no one would understand me. I think I'm going to pay Zelda a visit today. What do you mean I shouldn't talk to that bitch? You need some serious therapy. Shut the hell up would you? I swear I'm a schizo. I'm going to the castle whether or not you like it."

As Link jumps out of bed, his scarred, tanned, muscular body is exposed. The most relevant feature is a scar that runs down his back diagonally to the right and goes up his left shoulder to his clavicle. Another feature is the tattoo of a black cross on his right bicep, covering his bicep to the back of his hand. On his hand there is a symbol of the triforce of courage. Link straps on his black tunic and clips his earrings in. He fits to leather gloves that cover his hand to his elbow. He walks to the mirror and notices the stubble growing off of his face. "I could shave that later," He says to himself.

Link jumps onto his horse, Epona, and rides out of the small log cabin he built in the Koriki forest. "Today's gonna be a long day," he says to the horse.

That's the first chapter. I'll update when I get some reviews.
