Zelda.wps

I don't own Nintendo.

This takes place during the seven years Link was "asleep" in OOT. It's all about Zelda, and what happened to her. I might sort of skip some years, and I sort of changed what happened afterwards, but you'll understand...

Zelda felt the rythmic pounding of the horse's hooves under her. 'No one would believe me...I told them he was evil. And now....Daddy is gone!' A sob wrenched through her body, and she clung tighter to the woman who was riding with her. 'Link, he has no idea what he is getting into. I should not have run from Ganondorf, not have left him to Link.' Tears streamed down her face, or was it just the pouring rain? A bolt of lightning flashed in the night sky. The veil Zelda usually wore was ripped from her golden hair by the wind.

They rode on, past Gerudo valley, and even farther than Kokiri forest until they approached a more dense, foreboding forest. Impa slowed the horse to a trot and they entered. The trees offered protection from the raging storm, and once they had gotten a little ways into the forest, Impa dismounted and led the horse. "Were are we going Impa? I have never been in this forest before." Zelda's voice was hoarse, and it took all her strength to keep from crying. Her father was dead, killed by Ganondorf. Her kingdom was at his mercy.

But she could still not help but be amazed at the forest Impa was taking her through. There were tons of varieties of trees everywhere, and wild flowers bloomed in every color she could imagine. Animals darted through the tree tops, and across the forest floor. Zelda had always been a bit of a tom boy, and had liked to sneak out of her bedroom and climb trees, and hang around in the market dressed as a commoner.

The rain started to lighten and Zelda tried to ring out her sopping wet dress. Impa finally replied to the girl. "Zelda, I am not the last of the Sheika, as I have told you. You see, there is actually a small community of us. That is were I am taking you. You will be safe there." Zelda nodded, her eyes were full of grief, but still had room for a small twinkle of curiosity. She saw a small, lazy circle of smoke rosing from the treetops ahead. As they neared, she began to see buildings with thatched roofs, and a few children playing in the dirt roads throughout the small village in the forest.

Impa led the horse down one of these roads. As she passed by them, people called to her and waved to her. Impa smiled back at them, and occasionally waved, but kept on walking. She came to a large building near the center of the village. She opened it's wooden door and entered. A man was sitting at a table littered with papers. He looked tired, but strong and courageous, and trustworthy .He had many scars running down his strong, yet kind face.

The man looked down at Zelda. "So this is the little princess you have told me about? She does look strong. Why have you brought her here Impa?" Impa began to explain about Ganondorf. While she spoke, the man's face grew more and more serious, and by the end of her story, he had paled quite a bit. "The princess may stay here, of course. We must be ready to deal with Ganondorf, he must not take over Hyrule!" Impa nodded, and took Zelda by the hand, leading her out of the hut.

"That is our leader, Aydyon. He is the bravest fighter in all of Hyrule." Zelda was full of confusion. She had thought that Impa was the last of the Sheika warriors, that they had all died out long ago. And now here was this secret village were they lived! Impa led her to a small hut not far from Aydyon's home. "Here is where you will be staying child, sleep now." Zelda stumbled into the one roomed hut, and layed down on the bed in the room. Her eyes shut almost as soon as she lay down. But her dreams were tormented with images of her father, and of Ganondorf.
