AN: why do I do this to myself and keep on making new stories...I really should just stick with one...but I know I'm not going to. So I do hope that you enjoy this story and get a good feel of it, would mean the world to me if you would favorite or follow.
Hmm where does my story begin. I suppose that even I cannot remember the very beginning but it had something to do with the three of us at any rate...always the three of us. Ganondorf, Zelda, and the hero of the day myself commonly known as Link but if that was my real name I have long since forgotten. I found out something very early on in my death, I found out that I could not truly die.
Every time I did I would come back in a new body all my memories intact along with Zelda and Ganondorf...but he never did remember he never could remember, but Zelda did right at first. Then on one of the cycles as I call them she was killed by Ganondorf, I thought that everything would be fine and she would come back next cycle...she did, but she had no memories at all...she had forgotten everything...and I alone remembered, my current theory is that being killed by someone with the Triforce actually makes you forget makes you start with a clean slate and to never remember your past.
Since then I have lived to many cycles to count to many thousands of years...and I can feel my time coming again that the world is going to need me...again. I want to throw in the towel forget it all be killed by Ganondorf and just end it all...but I know I wont.
Tis the fate of the hero I suppose.
Hero of time: published by Zelda year 1200 AG (After Ganondorf)
Link opened his eyes for what had to have been up in the thousands, he immediately shut them again. So he was back again...which meant that Zelda and Ganondorf were back to...wonderful.
Of course neither of them would remember he was the only one who did remember...Ganondorf did for a while but he managed to escape by being killed by well Link. Too bad that Link just could not lose, then maybe he could lose all of his memories but no if he lost then to many good people would be hurt.
...he hated his conscience really he did.
"Linkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk."
Hearing the yell he opened his eyes almost expecting Saria or Navi to be there yelling at him...but no they died a few cycles back.
Getting out of his bed he saw that he was in a tree house...well that was good he always did like them better at any rate than the typical house.
Jumping down from two ladders he got outside. There was a man there that reminded him a bit too much of well an idiot...no offense to the idiot.
"Hey Link could you help me heard the goats they have not been listening to me lately."
Link blinked a few seconds before nodding his head. When he came out he could not see any horse. That was firmly established when the idiot said something about the horse not being there.
"Thanks for stating the obvious."
There were two paths one that the...person (he really needed to learn his name) could have come from. Considering that he could hear the sounds of work in front of him that would reason out that the place to go would be to the right of him.
"See Zelda I did learn reasoning...it took me a few thousand years to do so but I did learn it."
Taking off to the left he ran not overly fast but he still ran. The area very quickly became condensed, trees sprouting up from nowhere, he was even expecting a Deku Scrub to come on out...but no they are all dead now they all died years ago.
As he traveled something came out...something. The thing whatever it was, was black and oily and was it glowing purple?
The thing turned its strangely crescent like head over to him and well attacked. It attacked very slowly of course so Link dogged easily enough...the tree behind him did not have that luxury. It was split in half straight down the middle...
"Note to self don't get hit by that."
Calling upon the familiar power of his section of the Triforce he slammed his fist into the things stomach. In a few seconds the thing began to burn from the inside out. It desperately tried to hit him but naturally Link rolled over to the side.
In a few seconds the thing was just a smoldering pile of ash.
"Dins fire concentrated to a single point...best idea I have ever had, going to have to thank Ganondorf next time I see him...of course he won't have any idea about what I'm talking about but that's not the point."
Watching the ashes smolder for a few seconds Link had to reflect...this was different...well this would be fun.
When he finally reached an open gate he felt extremely home sick...or at least as home sick as he ever got, being raised as a child was new and nice being able to forget all the worries with Saria 12 years of bliss had been nice.
"But we all have to grow up sometime I suppose."
Shaking his head from his memories of one of his more recent lives he saw...Saria?
Shaking his head he realized that it couldn't be Saria her eyes weren't green enough her hair was not green enough...but all the same.
Ilia
A single name was said in his mind with a strong erg to...protect. So this person was important to the before him...he needed a better term for that.
"It really seemed as if the Goddesses are trying to fuck with me."
The horse, Epona trotted over to Link and nuzzled against him happily. The horse seemed to smile at him as he laughed at bit. Looking at Epona he saw the beasts ancient eyes the same as his he supposed.
"O Hi Link, I washed Epona for you."
Blinking softly he nodded his head in thanks before climbing the horse and giving Ilia one of his rare smiles...usually the kind he reserved for Zelda.
Waving a goodbye he kicked the horse lightly who began to run at a jog.
He has now decided...that he hates farming...and Epona had gotten hurt to, unfortunately he couldn't really go check to help considering that even more Goats decided to try to escape. That and some kids wanted a sling shot which really brought back to many memories for Links comfort.
Trying to buy the slingshot did not have any good effect because the shop owner was apparently depressed. so he had ended up talking to a blond kid...who had given him a fishing pole and talked about trying to find a cradle...again to many memoires.
Catching a fish a cat had ran away with it...deciding to follow it out of habit he saw that it had returned to the shop.
He had collected the rupees fast (it was amazing what people left around) and easily bought the sling shot before giving it to some of the kids.
"HEY LINK"
Looking up he saw a man waving his arms around and telling him to climb some veins, he did so like a pro...which he was one now that he thought about it.
"Hey link just thought i would tell you something that grass over there, blow it and an owl comes that's very helpful."
Blinking in some surprise a the random info he decided to give it a shot. Quickly blowing on the piece of grass an owl appeared and landed on his arm. Looking around to see if it could grab something (like more rupees) When he saw a monkey jumping up and down with a cradle...well that was weird.
He refused to think of the owl as the same as he once knew when Saria was around...that might mess him up for a while and Ganondorf could make his move at any time.
Having the owl basically charge at the monkey it grabbed the cradle and returned it to link before quickly leaving. Smiling softly Link jumped of the small rock and headed over to the blond kid but ran into a women first.
A very pregnant women.
"O Link thank you for finding me my cradle." The pregnant lady was happy and carried the cradle toward her house.
...while ignoring him...not even a rupee for his trouble...figures.
When Link had begun to return to his tree house he felt exhausted, he had forgotten how annoying it was when people did not reward you for doing weird things like returning cradles, being an upstanding citizen stuff like that.
"Hey Link I wanted to say thank you for returning the cradle to my wife I left a little something in your house, it might come useful for when you deliver that package to Hyrule castle."
Blinking a few times he nodded at the man before quickly entering his house and on a small little bench was a wooden sword.
...yay...note the sarcasm.
Picking it up however felt a bit good after everything that he went threw it was always nice to have some kind of weapon again.
Exiting the house and jumping off the kids more or less harassed him about wanting the sword...sighing softly he gave one of them the wooden sword...what was the worse that they were going to do get a splinter?
Then a monkey the same monkey that he had gotten he crate from came out of nowhere and ran away...the kids decided to chase it.
Link wanted to scream in frustration before mounting Epona.
Coming across a cave he had to sigh Epona...did not do caves well especially after the whole entire Like Like monster thing incident... he swore that Epona was glaring at him for even thinking about it.
Don't ask.
Heading over to the left he saw a strange looking man...who for some reason started up a conversation with him. In a matter of 2 minutes he had gotten a lantern, a key, and possibly more importantly a bottle.
"I should really start a collection. Links bottles been around the world some have even been on the ocean and underneath the sea."
Shaking his head from his memories he realized that the only way threw was well threw the cave...he hated caves.
The cave was naturally terrible but it was done waving a lantern at some stupid bats had caused them to run fast enough at any rate. Moving forward threw a large almost field like place for a few minutes he had found a door... that needed a key...which he lacked. Luckily enough a monster decided to attack him at that point.
Link already feeling stressed out at that point lashed out. Using the Triforce he hit the poor monsters head... he lacked a head now. The monsters body fell to the ground. Looting the body he found a key and smiled before stopping a few seconds...then going over to a tree he repeatedly slammed his head down in front of it.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid all that time spent trying to find keys when you could have just broken the lock or better yet crushed in the stupid door...stupid."
Long story short he saved the kid and the monkey who had then well flung off he supposed was the right term.
Taking the kid home and grabbing Epona along the way he went to his house and had to relax. Looking around there for something to eat he found some dried out fish. Quickly starting the cooking fire he heated it up.
Checking around a basement (how a tree house had a basement he wasn't even going to ask) he found some old wine...like really old...like from back 2 cycles ago.
That was a long time ago.
He decided not to question why previous Link had wine but decided to enjoy it. Quickly poring himself a cup and setting up his food he lifted the cup up speaking his first words in this new body.
"Let me die soon and rest forever...or at least make it so this cycle is far more interesting."
With that he drank the wine and began to ate the whole entire time lost in his memories,
When all hell broke loose.
Midna smiled to herself slightly Zant was gone banished by her father and hopefully dead...and if it was up to her she would have killed him...
Then again she wasn't as nice as her father. Speaking of which she hadn't seen him for the entire day she should really go and look for him.
Turning the corner in her palace she saw...Zant. He was being apprehended by several palace guards and her father with some very sharp looking swords.
"I gave you a chance to run to live but you den-"
Zant merely waved a hand as her father was in mid speech...and they were gone or more like changed. It didn't happen fast but not slow and by the time she recovered her bearings she looked down at her body...she had shrunk. Seeing a shattered mirror she saw what she looked like now...the closest thing that she could see herself as was...an imp...that Bastred!
"this is more befitting of your status my princess."
"Why" she managed to whisper out as she felt her legs giving out in front of her landing on her knees. In response he made a spear out of...thin air and tossed it at her, in her shock she could only move to the side slightly, she felt it go through her chest purposely not hitting fatal areas.
"That is the simplest answer of all my princess, it was because I could." With that he waved his hands and the monsters that were once her friends ran after her.
Midna somehow managed to get up and ran as if hell itself was behind her the spear was luckily enough for her already dissolving and in a few seconds was gone but there was still a wound there. Unaccustomed to her new body she repeatedly fell and the monsters would catch up a bit more.
She ran for what felt like hours but must have only been minutes when she thought she saw something.
No she definitely saw something in front of her but way too far for her to use, she had to assume it was something she could use...well now she knew her goal if only she could run faster.
The monsters began to throw things at her and she could feel her right lung begin to hurt even more maybe getting blood in it...wonderful.
when she managed to reach it well...it was a crown like thing...just lying there but she could sense the power almost radiating off from it. Figuring it was a trap she decided to spring it (she already had a small army after her a few more wouldn't hurt). Grabbing the crown nothing happened...deciding not to waste the opportunity she ran even faster.
Looking behind her she saw the monsters were coming up on her and fast, looking up front she saw that she was quickly running out of ground a giant well pit in front of her. Deciding in to at least try it she threw on the crown slightly lopsided...feeling a rush of power she felt like she was going to explode, that and her multiple injuries it was amazing that she hadn't bled out yet.
The power was already getting to her she could see spots in front of her eyes. Concentrating she had to think just one thought.
"Away to any world as long as it is away from here...to safety."
With that she blacked out but not before seeing a portal like thing open.
Link sighed as he saw that his good wine had been spilled by an...imp? Well that was new. Examining her he saw that she (fairly sure it was female) was hurt badly bleeding out on his table.
"It's just going to be one of those centuries isn't it."
AN: you will notice that the beginning is much more different, and a far different Link more jaded and the like. I do hope you enjoy how I have changed things a bit to make it more fresh (typically the order of the...quests is that the right word)
O yes and tell me feedback about how you enjoy the different beginning for Midna...but it doesn't fell perfect to me...going to have to look it over maybe make it better?
