Author's Note: Well with the delay of SenranBound I'll be starting a new story with this one being about Zelda. SenranBound got delayed because my laptop stopped working so about a few weeks ago I had to restart part of chapter 2 (the beginning) and chapter 3 is almost done so expect a double chapter release soon. I also have to work on the other story I mentioned a while ago so in total I should have four stories that will be in my roster for the time being. Despite school getting in the way I think I'll manage getting all these stories done on my own time. Now before reading this story I think it's very important that you guys check out a picture called "Lost Kingdom" by MrJmZack on deviantart. He drew a map of Hyrule before the Great Flood and it's pretty good. It's best you check out the map so you don't get lost and it's really accurate to the actual Wind Waker map from a land perspective.
I hope you all enjoy this story as my friend and I had an idea about this especially cause we love the Zelda series and theorizing is fun, hell I beat all the games released so far can't wait for the next one but that fact is irrelevant. Anyways this may have retcons to Wind Waker which I'm gonna try my best to avoid, but hey Zelda is full of retcons. Also Link talks in this story so I'm kinda making this like how Zelda mangas are where Link talks and chooses to not be silent in certain situations. Hylian Language is no problem thanks to Hyrule Historia providing the Hylian Language of the era before the Great Flood. VortexxyGaming's theory makes me believe it was actually possible the Hero of the Flood existed and is another reason I wanted to try and make this story happen.
Oh yeah I forgot to mention in the Gerudo area on the map for some reason it says East Faerie Rock instead of West and the same for West Faerie Rock being in the wrong spot. So keep in mind when in the Gerudo area East Faerie Rock on the map is supposed to be West Faerie Rock and vise versa. Don't want you guys to get confused with the actual East and West Faerie Rocks.
Lastly, most likely you'll see some GameCube controls in one or two chapters and I decided to make this story a little tribute to Wind Waker turning 15 this year.
As always I do not own the Zelda series or any of it's characters

Without further adieu let's start.
The Legend of Zelda Sleeping Streams
Chapter 1 Link the Hylian
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 its 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 from nowhere. Wielding 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.
However...
There's a legend that is hidden from history...
a legend that only I and few others know and kept hidden about forever because of a promise...
This is the story of a boy who is hidden from the stories of legend...
Many Generations after the Hero of Time Defeated Ganondorf...
It had been several hundred years since the final battle between the Hero of Time and the evil Gerudo Ganondorf. Hyrule was at peace and the many people living in Hyrule in this era believed that Ganon would be gone for good and that even if he returned the Hero of Time would return to save them. In the land of Hyrule there was a boy at the age of 14 and he admired the Hero of Time a great deal. As most kids at their young age they want to grow up to someone that they admired and so he wanted to grow up to be like The Hero of Time one day. Coincidentally his parents named him after the Hero of Time and the boy hearing the story about the Hero of Time, wanted to form his own legend whether minor one or major one he didn't really care. If it was major he always thought of what he would be called like maybe, "Link Hero of Peace" or something along those lines.
His parents were knights of Hyrule away on a trip to Holodrum assigned by the King of Hyrule so they wouldn't be back for a good while. Link with his parents gone lived at Impa's house who was a friend of Link's parents and living with Impa made it his first actual time being in town. Both Link's house and Impa's house are located in Kakariko Village which is a little bit north west of Hyrule Castle and little high up on a little mountain. However Link's home was away from all the other buildings in Kakariko Village, in fact it was located at the border of Kakariko and as a kid up until recently had he actually gone into town. He usually traveled into the forest near Kakariko to get food instead of going into town, but he never actually traveled that far to see what the land of Hyrule was like. With his parents gone most of the time, at a young age he had to hunt for his food and never considered going into town. Despite having his own home Link liked sleeping at Impa's house, plus he got to learn more about Impa's tribe. Even in this era this version of Impa was still a sheikah and Princess Zelda's guardian. Sometimes Link even called Impa "Aunt Impa", despite him and her being no where near related, but ever since his parents left he would be helping the people in town with work.
Link had fallen out of bed after having a strange dream which he doesn't even remember, but it still bothered him a great deal. He walked up to a mirror in the room where he sleeps. He had blonde/yellow hair which at the moment looked messy. He had been wearing a blue shirt ((a blue sheikah shirt color like the ones in Breath of the Wild)), with a silver circle in the middle of the blue, and the Sheikah eye symbol in the middle of that. Impa had given it to him awhile back and he always liked sheikah clothing or the ones he's seen in pictures so he gladly accepted it. The sleeves of the shirt were also blue and he added white bandage wrappings around it because he wanted to add some design to it. His pants were white with some red lines around it, and the boots he wore were blue with a white line going right down the middle of them. ((Since this is in the adult timeline, Link has the Toon Link look with the black eyebrows, and the big black eyes)). He wore a blue pendant that he got from his parents when he was younger and he never leaves without it.
The boy left his room to see if Impa was home or if she had left already to Hyrule Castle. When he got to the main living room he saw a note on the desk and picked it up. "Hello Link. I've gone to the potion shop to pick up some medicine for Princess Zelda since she's come down with a cold. if you're awake around the time I suspect you'll be please meet me there. P.S. I left a bottle of your favorite kind of soup on the table." The blonde looked on the table and noticed there was indeed soup there and was surprised he didn't see or smell it beforehand, but he loved the soup Impa made and gladly took it.
"Thanks Aunt Impa." Link put the bottle in his inventory and headed outside. He had a good look around where he lived and he saw lot of his neighbors were cheerful and doing what they do best. "Everyone in Kakariko Village are cheerful and hard-working as always I see." The blonde said this to himself as he walked to where the potion shop is while greeting people along the way. The Cucco Lady was once again having trouble find some of her chickens and so before heading to the Potion Shop he went and looked for the chickens. At this point he was more used to it since this happens often.
This time he only had to find three. One was hiding on top of a tree which he rolled into knock it down and catch it, another was near the entrance to the graveyard, and the last one was on Impa's roof. After collecting all three separately he was given a kiss on the cheek by the Cucco Lady. "Thank you Link!" The blonde got flustered from the red haired lady's words, "No need to thank me. It actually just feels like a normal job for me to do now these days." Remembering what he had to he said his goodbyes and headed off to the potion shop.
When he reached the shop, he saw that Impa was just leaving the shop. Like her ancestor Impa was tall, but a little older than her OoT incarnation. She also decided to wear the same exact kind of clothing like her ancestor as well. Like her sheikah ancestors, she has the red colored eyes and the white/silver hair color. "Ah there you are Link. I wanted you to come with me to the Castle." As Impa said this Link was a little surprised, but he hadn't said anything. "I promised I'd take you on a walk to Hyrule Castle and since it's early we can take the long way to the castle so you can see more of the land of Hyrule. Usually I'd take the short way to the castle, but we have enough time after all. Plus you may get to meet Princess Zelda." Link had smiled at Impa after hearing the last part and was ready to go already. "What are we waiting for Impa? Let's go!" As they walked Impa couldn't help but smile at him since he usually doesn't go outside Kakariko and when his parents were around he only really did chores around the house or work on their front yard. 'Even at age fourteen you can act like a kid on a grand adventure.' the blonde kept that thought in mind for the time being. "Oh yeah, Zelda's birthday will be coming up in about a week and she's going to be the same age as you, so I'm hoping you would like to meet her and become friends." Impa looked at Link who happily agreed to meeting the Princess.
"So her birthday is coming up soon huh?." As Link said this the two of them had went down the trail that led to Kakariko Village and headed towards West Hyrule Field, but since they are going the long way they have to get from the trail that is at the northern part of Din's peak to the northern part of Gerudo Valley to even reach West Hyrule Field.
Link and Impa talked about things while at the same time Impa told Link about the origins of locations of each place they went by. "So Impa, where do you think the legendary blade the Hero of Time wielded to defeat Ganondorf is currently at?" From the look on her face, the boy couldn't really tell if she knew or if she was going to lie, but whatever the answer was would be debatable to him. "The Hero of Time left it in the Temple of Time, so if you were to look for it you would have to find that said temple, but who knows where it is, it could be somewhere beyond what is shown on the map of Hyrule." From that Link nodded since it made the most sense after all the boy has learned that Hyrule's geography changes over the years, that or the kingdom loves to move to different areas a lot. The blonde thought by now that the temple had probably completely decayed if it was truly abandoned in the temple it was left in.
As they continued to talk about other things they had finally reached the Gerudo Plateau and the two could tell since they were no longer walking on grass and more like a sandy, and rocky like terrain. The blonde looked to his right to see the sandy terrain of the Gerudo's land and he felt shivers down his spine. Mainly because besides West Faerie Rock, both the Haunted Wasteland and Sand Sea looked like deadly places to even go through. From his eyes the Haunted Wastelands is like a giant cloud of sand which is blocking him from seeing anything north of it even from his view. As for Sea Sand, even if it looks like a terrain of sand from the long run he had a feeling that he would need something to help him even try and get across it.
"Beautiful isn't it?" His analyzing of the area stopped when he heard Impa speak. "You know that man Ganondorf was actually born in the land of the Gerudo. The only male in fact and they say that every 100 years a male Gerudo is born, but most of the time only females are born." After hearing that Link was actually considering how that's even possible and why that even happens. "That's actually really interesting. I wonder why a male Gerudo is only born every 100 years." Leaving the thoughts and questions for later, they continued to walk on to Hyrule Castle.
Soon the two had reached the northern part of Gerudo Valley and crossed the bridge. Once across Link could see Hyrule Castle standing on a rock in the middle of a lake. "When I look at the castle it looks like it may fall into that lake at any minute." Impa just laughed and continued to walk finally getting to West Hyrule Field with the blonde following right after her. "It is kinda weird isn't it? A castle in the middle on a rock in the middle of a lake. I don't think even our ancestors had the kingdom in the middle of a lake all those years ago and we don't even have a Castle Town either." Link nodded in agreement as they continued on their way to the Castle. "I guess Kakariko Village would be like the Castle Town of this era?" The blonde looked to see what Impa thought and who had nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked on the south side of East Hyrule Field which made them go up the hill. Link liked all the new sights he was seeing and was happy Impa brought him with her. Afterwards they had walked on the north side of Mountain Oasis and the west side of Farore's Peak until they reached a little pathway that led to Hyrule Castle and the other way Link couldn't really tell, but he thought it was somewhere not worth going.
Link slid down the hill to get on the trail and looked at a single tree waiting for Impa to come down. Once she did they continued towards Hyrule Castle and surprisingly to Link, he saw a Princess with blonde hair waiting on the other side of the bridge they were walking on. 'Is that really Princess Zelda?' as he thought to himself he looked back up to see Zelda running towards him and Impa.
"Hello Impa I'm really happy to see you. Who's this with you?" Zelda turned to look at Link and was surprised when he kneeled down on one knee with his head down. Although she was used to people kneeling down in front of her, she wasn't expecting a random civilian of Hyrule to do so as well. "Hello to you too Zelda. This is Link, the boy I've been telling you about. I know you have been wanting to meet him so I brought him with me today so you could chat for a little." Link was pretty surprised although his face didn't show it, 'Impa talks about me to Princess Zelda? I'm actually more surprised she wanted to meet me.'
"Ah that makes a lot of sense." She smiled and grabbed Link's hand signaling him to stand up and so he did as he saw her warm smile, "No need to be so formal with me. It's nice to meet you Link." Link looked at the princess and smiled, "It's nice to meet you too Princess Zelda." Afterwards Zelda explained that her cold had randomly went away so the medicine wouldn't be needed, the whole cold excuse was probably just a cover up, but Impa decided to give it to Link who had no idea it was made out of red Chu-Chu jelly.
Princess Zelda had blonde hair and blonde eyebrows, her eyes were like a tealish color with the very bottom part being a shady black ((basically like Tetra's eye color when she transforms into Zelda.)), next she had thin light blue eye liner, she also has lightning bolt shaped strands of hair going down both sides of her face ((Like Wind Waker Zelda's official art design)), the clothing she wears is the same exact design the Princess Zelda during the Hero of Time's era wore, she even wears the same tiara as the Princess Zelda from the Hero of Time's era did although the shape of it seems to have changed a little over time.
"Well you two should get know each other for a little bit, I have something to do inside the castle. I'll be back in a little while." Impa walked off towards the castle, "Okay!" Both of the blondes said before smiling and giggling at each other.
The two sat where the single tree was located talking about their lives and what they do on a daily basis, and having laughs. One of the many things that caught Zelda's eye was that he wanted to become a Hero and that he admired the Hero of Time. "Come with me." Princess Zelda said this beginning to stand up. Link nodded and stood up as well. The two headed north towards East Faerie Rock, Link noticed there were two target shaped spots on the top of the bridge they were walking on. "Hmm. You could use a hookshot for those, if the bridge ever collapsed into pieces. It's a long way down from this bridge." Zelda gave a little giggle from his comment, "I don't think that'll happen any time soon." Link nodded in agreement as they got to the entrance that seemed like a cave.
With nothing else to say the two of them went inside and while they were walking, Link's curiosity to what Zelda wanted to show him got bigger. Beforehand he was a little uneasy about going here but he either pushed it aside or totally didn't mind it since he had company with him.
They walked through the caves which made Zelda shudder a little. "Don't worry if there are any I'll protect you." Zelda smiled for Link wanting to protect her, "Thank you Link." The blonde just smiled in response while they continued through the cave.
Lucky for them or Zelda anyways, there weren't any rats popping out from the rat holes in the cave. When they got out the cave and started walking on a sandy terrain Link was surprised at what he saw. Literally his pupils shrunk a little as he gazed at what was in front of him. The two of them were staring at a tall blackish/grayish tower that was taller than the mountain circle surrounding it on every side. "How long has this been here for? It's so tall." Just staring at it gave him an uneasy feeling. He felt it before but it was stronger this time and even though he had company it still didn't help. "To be honest, I'm not sure. I noticed that you're surprised. We're about the same age right? You've really never seen this tower before as long as you've been born in Hyrule?" Link shaked his head to the left and right a few times to show he didn't. "No I haven't. Which now that I think about it that doesn't make sense to me. I've really must've never even noticed despite being born and living in Kakariko all these years. I mean the tower is taller than the mountain walls so even I should be able to see it from my house since Kakariko would be about as high or even a little higher than the mountain tops. I guess I never really paid attention. I was always busy with other things or just oblivious to my surroundings." Not surprisingly Princess Zelda nodded understanding her fellow blonde as she would actually tend to forget that the tower was around since she was busy around the Castle all the time.
"Well we should probably get going now. My father, King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule doesn't want me near this tower. I don't really question it but I may ask him one of these day if he even has an actual reason. I will say it is a little disturbing seeing this tower everywhere though." the female blonde turned to Link, "Well then, Impa is probably wondering where we are now, lets go back." Link nodded and the two began to walk back to where they first met earlier today.
After passing the tree they saw Impa at the steps and began walking towards them to greet her again. "Hello again Impa." Princess Zelda did a little bow while closing her eyes before opening them again. "Princess we are about to make the portrait with the others. The artist is waiting for you inside the castle." Hearing that Zelda nodded and looked at Link. "It was nice seeing you today Link even though it was short. Here I want to give you this." She pulled out a light blue telescope with yellow rims ((Kinda like Aryll's telescope)) and has the Triforce on it as well. Link took the telescope given to him and smiled.
"Here Link. It's a map of Hyrule with each location of Hyrule and the names of each location is on there too." After hearing that Link received a map from Impa and he simply nodded which was his way of thanking both of them with a smile on his face. Afterwards he waved and left down the steps and went towards the tree where he was with Zelda at before. Facing the tree he went and walked to the left and up the hill and once he walked a while he finally reached a bridge that was near the the middle/bottom part of the Din's Peak area.
As Link had left the area Zelda thought about him as she walked with Impa. "He's really interesting you know?" Impa smiled the princess, "Yeah he really is."
He crossed the bridge and continued under the rock bridge which connected Tingle's Mountain and the actual Din's Peak. 'I still can't believe Princess Zelda has been wanting to meet me this whole time. Well in way we thought the same thing.' After walking passed the trees Link saw the mountain that Kakariko Village lies on and the Windmill in the village was a no brainer.
After going up the mountain Link had walked to the main area of Kakariko Village where he saw four kids start to walk towards him. 'Oh great it's the Killer Wasp. Let's see there's Evan. Once again the leader of the Killer Wasp is wearing his red cap, light blue under shirt, dark blue vest unbuttoned, his brown belt, brown pants, and white socks with brown shoes. ((His brown hair a little longer than his Killer Bee descendant, but they all look the same but about a year or two older.)) 'Yeah that's Evan. He likes to be called Ivan though for some reason.' Next to Evan was Jinse, he wore a pink/ salmon colored shirt, green overalls with red strap on them, and lastly white socks with brown shoes. 'Next to Jinse we have Jano. He looked taller than the others, he had blue hair, a violet under shirt with a brown vest over it, purple shorts, and white socks with a lighter violet colored shoes, but he tends to be mistaken to be a girl. Lastly there was Juno-Robert, he was a boy with a ovalish pig like nose, his brown hair had to strands that went upwards, similar to Jinse he wore overalls but his were gray colored as well as the straps and even some pink on the top of the overalls, He wore a green shirt under with the end of the arm sleeves having a whitish color to it, and lastly he wore white bandage wrappings as socks while wearing blue shoes.
One last thing to note is that Jinse and Juno-Robert is that they both have their eyes closed all the time. Jano wears purple glasses to go with his purple colored style.
'Despite their name they are actually well behaved kids who don't skip school and do bad things.' Link's thought was broken when Evan spoke out loud calling his name which caused him to look at the boy. "We want to pass on our group's legend." As Evan said this Jinse walked up next to him, "So we need a name that maybe one day our descendants will be worthy of." Jano walked next to his fellow group members and nodded, "Yeah. We're descendants of the Killer Hornets you know and they made a legend too." Link sighed from hearing that last part, 'Sounds like kids from mom and dad's generation.' Juno-Robert came up to him and broke his train of thought this time, "Please help us!"
"Okay I'll help you." the four boys cheered hearing that from Link. 'Okay I have some ideas. Four options.' The blonde thought about this really quickly. He decided to make it easy by adding the word killer to it since it seemed to be an important part of the group's name.
'Killer Ants'
'Killer Beetles'
'Killer Bees'
'Killer Spiders'
The blonde continued to think for a second with the all the clues he was given before coming to a conclusion. "Okay. How about the Killer Bees? Your ancestors were the Killer Hornets, and you're the Killer Wasp. So the Killer Bees would be the next best name." The four boys huddled up to talk and ended up nodding in agreement.
"Okay! The Legend of the Killer Wasp will be passed down as legend and hopefully one day the Killer Bees will be formed to start a new one!" Hearing that from their leader Evan the other three boys cheered and thanked the blonde in the process.
"You're welcome. Even if it takes several hundred years the Killer Bees are bound to become a real group." The boys of the Killer Wasp nod in agreement
Link was walking away after saying goodbye before Evan shouted out his name causing him to look back, "Link good luck on your last day of sword practice today!" Link paused for a few seconds, "GAH! I forgot all about that! Thank you!" Link began to run towards the main the shopping center area where most of the Hylians living there would shop for items and many other rare items.
Link looked at the building where he goes to practice using a sword. The building was a neat little building that wasn't to fancy looking and not to old fashioned either. It happened to be right next to Kakariko Village's famous windmill. Before he entered, he noticed a poster on his left that read, "Petition: Let's Change the name of Kakariko Village to Windfall Village! Sign here today!" Link sighed after what he just read. 'Why in Hylia's name would anyone do that?' Link brushed the thought off and walked inside.
The blonde was greeted by his fellow beginners and his master as soon as he entered the room. He bowed to his Master, he goes by the name Master Orlo. He has brown hair that reaches to his shoulders and almost passes his eyes, he was a little bit taller than Link and somewhat skinny too. He wore a black vest with blue pants and he didn't wear shoes too.
"Link are you ready for your final lesson?" Link simply nodded in response while holding the sword he just received a few seconds ago with his left hand. Link and Master Orlo bow at each still giving each other a respectful look.
"Well then, let's get started." Link back flips away while Master Orlo simply jumps back. As usual from Link's perspective, Master Orlo used a red pole as his weapon. There weren't any kind of sharp objects on it or anything on it all, just a wooden pole.
'He's gonna be testing me by the order of how he taught us each lesson, so I'll use the Horizontal Slice first. All I have to do is repeatedly click the B button to do the horizontal slice.' Link approached his master with a serious gaze as Master Orlo did the same. The blonde slashed his sword at the pole Master Orlo held to the left two times before spinning to the left as if he was doing a spin attack, but instead it was another horizontal attack and to follow up with the last attack he spinned to the right bringing the sword with him from the previous slash and slashed upwards in a northeast direction. Every time the blonde did the horizontal slice combo it sounded like a chime played with each hit he landed and with every swing he would shout. Master Orlo had to keep his stance so he didn't fall over from each swing that Link gave him.
'Next up is the Vertical Slice. The best way for me to this is to click the L button so I can L-target Master Orlo and then click B to swing a vertical slice.' Link targeted his master, but doing so changed his stance. "HYAAAH!" The blonde swung his sword down vertically two times and just like the horizontal slice, he spinned to the left swinging the sword with him and to follow up again he spun to right bringing the sword with him again and swung upwards in the same northwest direction as last time. Like before he did it in a rhythm that made it sound like a chime played. "I'm glad to see you aren't holding back!" the blonde just nodded in response and got ready for the next attack.
'Okay. This third attack is the Thrust. I just need to L-target Master Orlo, then move the analog stick upwards and press B.' The concentration the boy had previously never went away for a second. He thrusted his sword forward two times giving a battle cry with every swing. Afterwards Link did a spiral swing attack where he had to spin to the right and jump up at the same while swinging his sword in a upwards northeast motion. Right as he landed on the ground he used his speed and power to do a quick spin attack. The blonde did this combo one more time as his fellow classmates were in 'aw' at how Link was doing. They noticed that he was calm and confident in what he learned over the months of training he did.
'Alright the spin attack. All I need to do now his click and hold the B button to store up my strength and then release it to release all the strength I stored into one fierce spin attack.' Link slashed forward not hitting Master Orlo, but he did that on purpose so he could aim his sword behind himself. Once he thought the time was right, he released one giant spin attack by spinning to the right in one quick and powerful motion. His spin attack looked like a blue blur with spikes. Link's spin attack pushed Master Orlo back quite a bit, "One more time Link!" the blonde nodded, 'There is another way to the spin attack and it's quicker too. All I need to is rotate the analog stick in a spinning motion and press B.' Link concentrated on Master Orlo while moving around a bit before suddenly doing a spinning attack that was just as quick and fierce as the one before.
'Okay now I just need to L-Target Master Orlo and wait to click A. It's the only way I can perform a parry attack. "Link walked up to his master concentrating watching all of his movements. He saw the swing he was about to make with his staff. As he moved for a swing Link reacted by rolling sideways to reach Master Orlo's back, he then jumps and slashes with his sword. To everyone watching every time Link was about to parry, his classmates could've sworn that they saw his sword glow with a blue color. They did this once more before doing the final technique Master Orlo had taught all of his students.
"You know what you need to do Link." Link nodded as Master Orlo readied himself. 'Alright the last attack at last. All I need to do is L-Target Master Orlo and press A.' Link continued to concentrate on his master for a few seconds, "HYAAAAH!" the blonde jumped forward slashing down with force which pushed Master Orlo back quite a bit. "Once more!" Link didn't hesitate to repeat the same attack which pushed Master Orlo back a bit further than before which caused him to laugh in joy afterwards. "Excellent swordsmanship my student! I gotta say you really have improved since your first day. I'm proud to say you are no longer a beginner. Take that sword in your hand as a gift from me. I think you'll make a wonder knight of Hyrule one day maybe even a hero." Link felt very happy hearing that and also relieved that he did so well on his lessons. Soon after the two bowed towards each other with great respect. The blonde put his sword in a brown and silver designed scabbard that was on his back through out the whole lesson. Afterwards Link sat down as his fellow classmates also needed to complete their final lesson.
Several Hours Later
The sun had already set and Link had finally left the dojo. Throughout those hours, Link had watched his fellow classmates do their final lesson or in their case beginners test and afterwards they had a celebration which lasted most of the day. Link had began to stretch and once he finished he realized a familiar friend of his standing in front of him.
A girl with blonde hair that reached to her shoulders stood before him, she also had bangs and her hylian ears stook out between her hair. She wore a red dress that would reach down to where her knees are and the dress itself was designed with pink blossoms. The blonde also wore brown sandals as well.
"Kumei? What are you doing here?" Link stared at his female blonde friend now known as Kumei with a confused look on his face. "Did you forget? You promised we would see the stars and look at Chu-Chu Rock with my telescope." Link apologized as he did forget, but that wasn't going to stop him from going with her to see the sights. "Well then let's go. I met with Princess Zelda today and she gave me a telescope. Now we won't have to share the same telescope." Kumei smiled in response, "That's great. Now lets hurry!" Link nodded and began to walk with his fellow blonde friend. They went towards the back of Kakariko Village which was passed the walls revealing a lot of green grass in the area. Whether or not Kakariko Village was going to get expanded with this space of left over is unknown to Link and Kumei. They stopped to where they can see Chu-Chu Rock and took out their telescopes to take a look.
"Pretty." Kumei said this as she looked up at the stars that appeared at night. "Oh Link look!" Kumei pointed towards Chu-Chu Rock which caused Link to look towards the direction she was pointing. He saw a wooden creature with a purple leaf as a mask on it's face as it flew with a leaf over Chu-Chu Rock. "What an adorable creature." Kumei looked in 'awe' after saying that. Link's smile changed once he noticed something wasn't right as random winds decided to pick up causing the wooden creature to become disorientated which also caused the creature to fall on the top of Chu-Chu Rock.
The wooden creature looked around and as soon as it thought it was safe, red star shaped like creatures began to appear before revealing their real form. They had yellow eyes that made them look stressed but like maniacs at the same time. They move with their head wobbling from side to side which made them seem even weirder. This frightened the wooden creature which had no idea what to do. "Those are Chu-Chus?" the female blonde asked while looking at Link who had a serious look on his face, "Seems so but that creature needs help! I'll see you soon Kumei." As Link got up and ran he heard Kumei yelling something about getting a shield which caused him to run to Impa's house.
Once he was inside he went upstairs to see a shield hung up on the wall. "There it is!" the blonde grabbed the shield and equipped it, the shield itself was shaped in a 'U' formation and was colored purple with the ends being a white color. The design itself had the triforce on top while having the sheikah symbol in red color under it. After equipping the shield, Link set outside Kakariko and headed east towards Chu-Chu Rock.
Once the blonde had reached the Chu-Chu rock area he followed the path that actually led to the rock itself. The trail led up to a hill connecting to the rock, so Link pressed on until he got to the top of a hill that led to the beginning of Chu-Chu Rock, the sight of Death Mountain on the east side, a view of Fire Mountain south east from where he was standing, the black tower that he saw earlier with Zelda west from here, and up north he saw the walls of the mountain that Crescent Rock was sitting on top of.
Link continued up on the path that Chu-Chu Rock started on. Immediately he was greeted with red and green Chu-Chus and boy were they weirder looking up close, he instantly pulled out his sword so he could take them out. "So there are more of you huh? Even green ones." Link decided to attack the red ones first. A red Chu-Chu on Link's right attempted to jump into him, but Link back flipped before doing a thrust attack killing it instantly.
Link was confronted with a green Chu-Chu. He used his shield to push back the Chu-Chu from jumping on him. He slashed horizontally, but his swings missed because the green Chu-Chu decided to enter it's star shaped blob form as it moved towards Link. Link analyzed and realized that he would need to time his attacks on green Chu-Chus or any kind of Chu-Chu for that matter when they are in their blob form. He noticed that the other Chu-Chus around him were about to jump, so to react to that he did a quick and fierce spin attack and thanks to good timing, he managed to defeat all of the Chu-Chus including the one that had entered it's blob form. All the blonde could think of was the fact that he's never fought an actual enemy before or at least a creature like that. His enemies when defeated disappeared in a big black and purple puff of smoke.
Link continued and climbed up many ledges before finally reaching the top of Chu-Chu Rock. The blonde hoped he wasn't too late to save the wooden creature he saw earlier. He saw that the Chu-Chus had hurt the poor wooden just a little bit, "Hey!" all the red Chu-Chus looked at the blonde and started moving towards him. He slashed horizontally, but didn't continue the combo like he had done at training. He jumped and slashed one of them with one quick movement, but with no time to stand around the blonde jumped and did a upward spiral strike which resulted in another one being defeated. Once he landed he performed another spin attack to finish a group of them. The last one jumped towards the blonde which made him roll to the side and jump striking the last one. Like before all his enemies had disappeared in a puff of smoke.
It seemed everything was clear so the blonde decided to put his sword and shield away and check on the wooden creature he saw get attacked. When he walked up to it an kneeled down he realized that these creatures were actually smaller in person. It had a purple heart shaped leaf over it's face, the leaf itself had eyes that were shaped like circles, it also had a mouth shaped like a 'w' and lastly it held a leaf which it used to fly earlier. Link could also hear little sounds that sounded like little bells coming from the creature too.
Link picked it up and the little one began to speak. "P-Please someone take me back to K-Kokiri F-Forest." It seemed the wooden creature didn't notice Link as it was hurt and traumatized. "Kokiri Forest?" Link immediately checked the map he had received earlier in the day to find Kokiri Forest, "Alright it seems Kokiri Forest is in the southeast area of Hyrule." Closing his map, Link picked up the wooden creature and ran down Chu-Chu Rock to head on to Kokiri Forest.
Annnnnnnd that's the end of chapter 1. It was pretty long but I thought long and hard on how this story is gonna go all the way until the end. I also wanted to add that backstory part from Wind Waker. I wouldn't want to take credit for that little part at all. The only part that isn't from Wind Waker is when it said "However" and everything said after it.
I don't have much to say but I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as much as I had fun finishing it up.
