It was a hot summer day in the world of Smash Bros. In fact, it was so hot that no one could step foot outside of their houses without breaking a sweat. The front yards to everyone's abodes looked dry and withered due to the heat turning the water from hoses into steam. The weather broadcaster advised everyone to stay indoors, and because of this, all the Smashers were forced to stay inside, being driven to boredom due to the lack of outdoor activities.
Link, who really disliked being cooped up indoors, was lazily flipping channels on the television in his bedroom, while his wife Zelda sat next to him, reading a book that she seemed disinterested in. Their son Young Link was curled up in a ball and slept peacefully between them.
After a heavy sigh, Link shut off the TV and turned to Zelda.
"Are you bored, honey? Because I sure am! I'm going to lose my sanity if I continue to lie here!" he exclaimed.
"I'm bored, too, Link. But you heard what the weatherman said! It's dangerously hot out there, and you'll probably fry like an egg!"
Sighing once more, Link replied, "Then just what am I supposed to do?! I'd rather go outside, but since I'm prohibited from doing so, do you have any suggestions for me?"
Zelda was about to answer, but then she suddenly spotted Villager through the doorway playing his 3DS.
"Why don't you ask Villager? Perhaps there's a good game he could suggest to you!"
Villager's ears perked up at the mention of his name. "You need my advice, Link? I'd be happy to assist you!" He reached for his cell phone in his pocket and searched for a list of 3DS games on the Internet. "Let's see… What looks interesting…? Aha! Here's a good one!" Link walked over to Villager as the small child presented to him a picture of the box art of a game with multiple Miis scattered across it.
"'Tomodachi Life'? Are you sure?"
"I'm absolutely positive! Trust me, you won't regret it!"
After scratching his chin and thinking thoroughly about his decision, Link replied, "OK, I'll give it a shot! Thanks for the suggestion!"
"Anytime, pal! See you later!" Villager said with a smile before walking away.
So Link proceeded to take out his own 3DS and immediately went onto the Nintendo eShop. He found the aforementioned game that Villager suggested and checked his funds before making his final decision.
"I only have $38.00, but by the looks of it, this game appears to be well worth the price! Here I go!" He purchased the game and excitedly waited as it downloaded onto his 3DS.
When Tomodachi Life finally finished installing about ten minutes later, Link immediately turned on the game, wondering what surprises awaited him. Upon setting the date and time on the game, Link was presented with an image of an empty island that had multiple trees and "Under Construction" signs scattered about.
"Here sits a little island in the middle of the ocean," the game read. "This place is all yours. It just needs a name!"
"A name, huh?" Link asked, walking into the mansion's cafeteria as he played. "Well, since I'm living in the Smash Bros. mansion, how about I call it Smash Island?"
After inputting the name, Tomodachi Life continued on, saying, "Smash Island…That's a great name! As the owner of Smash Island, you can now help your Mii look-alike start a new life here as the first official islander! Let's create a Mii that looks like you!"
Next, Link imported his Mii from Mii Maker since he created it long before purchasing the game. After deciding that he was satisfied with his Mii's appearance, he entered his first and last name, as well as his date of birth. He also gave his Mii a voice and adjusted it to his liking. Finally, he tapped the little boxes for each corresponding category that would determine his personality type. When he finished, his Mii was classified as a "Confident Designer".
"I'm a confident designer?" he asked in disbelief. "The description says that I am organized, motivated, and focused. I tackle any challenge head-on, and have great faith in my own abilities. Hmm…I guess that sounds about right."
The game returned to the island and announced, "You made your Mii look-alike! Link is gonna love it here on Smash Island!" A small apartment building suddenly sprung up from the ground in the middle of the island. "Oh, look! Construction was just completed on the apartment building where Link is going to live! Let's go check it out!"
Link subsequently went over to the newly-constructed building and checked in on his Mii. A door opened in the apartment and Link's Mii came walking in. He had only just begun playing, and Link was already getting excited about what other possibilities the game was capable of, but the thing that intrigued him the most was a thought bubble with black scribbles that appeared on Mii Link's apartment window. As if the game was reading his mind, it asked him to tap Enter to go inside the apartment. Link suddenly became face-to-face with the Mii representation of himself.
With a smile, Mii Link greeted, "Hi, I'm Link! Hey! You look just like me!"
"You can interact with Miis when you enter their apartments. Tap the thought bubble to find out what he has to say."
"So that's how I'll know what they want…"
Link tapped the thought bubble, and Mii Link stated, "I'm hungry."
"Link would like something to eat. Let's go to the store!"
Link begrudgingly chugged along in the somewhat-lengthy tutorial, purchasing a veggie burger and soda from a strange being with a box-shaped head, feeding Mii Link, and learning that interesting things happen when increasing a Mii's happiness. To his surprise, another thought bubble appeared over Mii Link's head, so he tapped it.
"It's a little lonely here on this island. If only I had some company…"
Link's face suddenly lit up. "Hey, that's cool! Perhaps I can add my friends and family onto this game as well!"
"Link would probably like some company. Let's make a Mii look-alike of a friend or someone in your family!" the game exclaimed, transitioning to the same Mii creation page Link used earlier. He thought about adding Zelda, but his attention was averted when Pit suddenly walked by.
"Hey, Pit!" he called.
"Oh! Hey, Link!" Pit replied, waving. Walking over to him, the teenage angel asked, "Whatcha playing?"
As Pit took a seat next to him, Link answered, "Tomodachi Life. I'm trying to find someone that I could add as a Mii onto this game. Do you mind if I make a Mii of you?"
"No. Go ahead!"
The prominent Hylian quickly created a Mii look-alike of his angelic friend. After going through the same process of entering the name, voice, and personality, the game determined that Pit was an Easygoing Optimist.
Pit laughed, "I guess I am somewhat optimistic! I do always tell myself to look on the bright side of things!"
"Is that your moral of the day?"
"I suppose."
The two returned their attention back to the game, where Mii Link was shown standing in his apartment saying, "I heard someone named Pit just moved into this building! I should go introduce myself to the new neighbor!"
As Mii Link walked into Mii Pit's apartment, Link began to wonder who else he would add onto Smash Island.
"Look at that, Link! Now we're friends, just like in real life!" Pit exclaimed, interrupting Link's train of thought.
The Hylian was suddenly overcome by a strange and eerie feeling. "Oh, how nice!"
Tomodachi Life concluded the tutorial by giving a few more words of advice. "Watching the daily lives of your Mii look-alike and the other islanders, helping solve their problems… This is the heart of Tomodachi Life, but there's also so much more to do! Create more islanders to open up new places on your island! As Mii relationships develop, some might become couples. And eventually there could even be some weddings!"
Link nearly lost his breath. Weddings?! And Miis can actually have children?!
"I wonder what sort of relationships your Miis will get into," Pit pondered.
"Who knows?"
Later, as Link progressed further into the game by creating more Miis of people sitting nearby in the cafeteria, such as Robin, Zero Suit Samus, Dark Pit, and Palutena, he noticed a pink heart on Mii Robin's window.
"I think Robin's in love, Link!" Pit whispered.
"Who does he have feelings for?"
Link entered Mii Robin's apartment and tapped the thought bubble.
"I have feelings for Samus! I've got to tell her!" Mii Robin proclaimed.
Excited, Link tapped the box that read, "I'll help you!"
"How should I tell her?"
"Be romantic."
"Where should I tell her?"
Link decided that he wanted Mii Robin to confess his love at the beach, and that the outfit he was wearing was fine.
"Okay! Time to gather my courage and tell her how I feel!"
The Hylian and angel's hearts raced as Mii Samus approached Mii Robin at the sunset-illuminated beach. What will her response be?
Mii Robin knelt down on one knee and romantically confessed, "My love for you is deeper than the ocean. Will you be my beautiful mermaid?"
After a few dramatic seconds, Mii Samus nodded and replied, "Sure!"
Link and Pit gasped. She said yes! They looked to each other in astonishment as Mii Robin danced happily at Mii Samus' answer and the game classified the two Miis as Sweethearts. Link exited Mii Robin's apartment and witnessed the lovebirds gazing happily at each other as Pit slowly rose from his seat.
"Well, that was fun, but I have things to do. See you around, Link!"
"Bye!"
As soon as Pit left the cafeteria, Link returned his attention to his game, but something unusual caught his eye in the process. He looked up to see the real tactician Robin and bounty hunter Samus sitting at the same table together,lovingly staring into each other's eyes with huge grins on their faces.
"That's strange," Link thought to himself. Considering that their Mii look-alikes just got into a relationship on Tomodachi Life, he wondered if it was just a coincidence, but then it dawned upon him that maybe something wasn't right…
Author Notes: Welcome to my Smashing Tomodachi Life story, where the impossible becomes possible! XD
This was just an idea I had after getting Tomodachi Life a few months back. A lot of my Miis have been getting into weird relationships since then, and I figured the most entertaining way to tell you who they were was to write this story, considering that most of them are Smash Bros. characters anyway. Robin and Samus are just the beginning, and you won't believe who will fall in love next!
Story Questions: What do you think of the story so far? &
Who do you think will get into a relationship next?
