THE LEGEND OF ZELDA by: Vladimir the Hamster
Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda. What a boring disclaimer.
Author Notes: Ahem... about this story. This is some crazy idea I had in my head for a really long time (3 years, in fact) only it was about a frog. I just adapted the idea into Zelda. It was inspired by a story in a book called Huckaby's Fables, but it was simply telling you why you hear an echo when a frog croaks. I also think you should know that in this story, Link never went on any of his many adventures, and Zelda was just a normal princess, Ganondorf was there, but no one really bothered about him and he wasn't evil...Well, you get the point. And Link doesn't have Navi, either, but Saria is still his best friend, and all the Kokiri are still pretty much the same. And Mido is really mean in this fic. Well, there are worse people out there, but I'm just saying he's meaner than usual.
Happy reading!
"Link?" said Saria, her eyes wet from the tears she held back.
Link turned around.
"I know you have to go... "she said, "But... we'll always be friends, right?"
Link looked down to his feet.
"Link, I want you to have this ocarina."
Link looked up. "What?" It was her favorite ocarina. He didn't deserve to have it.
"Are you sure?" said Link.
"Yes, this way, we can talk to each other."
"How?"
"With this song."
Saria put the Fairy Ocarina to her lips and played a happy tune. The song was full of magic. She handed the ocarina to Link.
"When you play this song, I will hear you, okay?" Saria explained.
Link didn't look very relieved. "Thank you."
"You're welcome..."
Saria couldn't hold them back anymore. She flung herself hard unto Link's chest and sobbed into his warm tunic. "I can't believe you're actually leaving..."
Link wrapped his arms around his best friend and hugged her tightly.
Link woke up in his bed. He had that dream again. He wished he could get the memory out of his mind. It was so painful...
"Saria, I really miss you."
It wasn't the fact that he couldn't talk to her. He just wanted to see her face again. That warm smile that always comforted him whenever he was lonely. She was the only one that stood on his side three years ago, when Mido decided to banish him from the forest.
Thinking about that also brought painful memories back to him. Link still lived in the Lost Woods, but it just wasn't the same all by himself. Many times he wanted to visit Saria in the Sacred Forest Meadow, but Mido had forbidden her to go there so the two would be separated. Mido could really be nasty when he wanted to.
Link sighed. He rolled over in his bed.
"Might as well get something to eat," he mumbled to himself.
Link grabbed his sword and shield before going outside his house. There were many monsters in the Lost Woods, and he had to protect himself. He walked through the labyrinth that would've befuddled niost people, but he knew it too well to get lost. He picked some berries from one of the trees, and sat down to eat them.
Munch Munch"Another day all by myself.. How depressing."
While eating, Link watched a few fairies fly around and listened to the birds singing merrily in the trees.
Then a Mad Deku Scrub came out and shot Deku Nuts at him. With lightning fast reflexes, Link pulled out his shield and bounced the Deku Nut back at it, ran up to it, and slashed it with his sword.
"Honestly, can't they let a guy eat?"
The leaves rustled overhead. Link sat back down and finished the rest of his berry breakfast. It wasn't very filling, but that was all he had.
"Maybe I shouldn't be a vegetarian anymore," he joked. "Maybe I'll actually be full for once."
He strapped on his sword and shield.
"Nah, I'm okay eating nothing but fruit..."
His stomach growled. Link just laughed. He went back to his treehouse and fished out the Fairy Ocarina from his bag. Sitting against the wall, he decided to talk to Saria, and played Saria's Song. The merry tune echoed through the forest and a few birds flew through the window to listen.
Link, it's me. What do you want to talk about?
Anything, I guess. I just ate breakfast, what about you?
Me too, I had a peach and guess what? Another peach.
Sound appetizing.
Ha ha—
Saria suddenly broke off, but their telepathic connection didn't break.
No, get off, Mido! I want to talk to Link! It's not like that! Why do you hate him so much—
The connection was broken.
Saria? Link called through his mind. No answer.
"Oh, no..."
For several days, Link kept trying to contact his best friend, and each time there was no response.
'Why? Why did she have to leave? Of all things cruel in this world. You can take away anything, just not her...'
Link became heartbroken. He wept. He wept loudly, into the sheets of his bed. Saria was his princess... and now she was gone.
TBC
So... just in case you're wondering, this will not be LinkxSaria. In fact, it will be... Well, I wouldn't want to spoil it, would I? I'm so evil. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Actually, it's in the summary, but like I said, it's not what you think. Hmm... I'm not as evil as I thought. Rats. Oh, well just keep smiling. I wonder when my face will crack?
Please Review! XD. Or else... well... I'll still write this anyway, but at least let me know people are reading this. It helps keep me motivated, and then I'll write this faster!
