The Legend of Zelda:
Can't Turn the Tide
Disclaimer: I do not own any trademarked characters such as Link, Saria, Zelda, Princess Ruto, but I do own Tamika's name, as well as Tasha's, and Destiny's, too. This story kind of mixes the plot of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time around a little bit, so don't mind anything. This is a very different plot from Ocarina of Time, so, yeah. Enjoy, and review at the end if you feel it's worth the effort. ^_^ Gracias!
Chapter 1:
The True Story
Hello. I'm Saria, a longtime friend of Link. Before I start this story, I should tell you about what really happened when Link was brought to us Kokiri. Hyrule was in chaos, forests in flames, people running in terror, everything went wrong. It was Link's mother, Destiny, who had the idea of bringing her only son to the Kokiri Forest. She was a good friend to the Deku Tree. When the Deku Tree saw the condition she was in when she entered the forest, he immediately went to work to comfort her.
When Destiny did see the Deku Tree, the only thing she did was put the basket containing her child down in front of him. Before she left to go back and fight in the war, she left Link with a special stone, and said, "Take good care of him. I'm sure he'll be a great addition," And with that, she left. After ten years, she was not seen, or even heard of. The rumors went around that she was dead, but Link knew nothing of this, so, he grew up as a Kokiri, one of us. So, now it is time to start the story.
It was a bright, clear day. Link, as usual, was sleeping in. I saw a fairy fly overhead, and I saw it heading toward Link's house. I heard a few voices in Link's house, so I ran over to see what was happening, with a smile on my face. Link walked out of his house with a fairy perched on his shoulder. He was shocked to see me, but all the same, he was happy.
"Hey, Link! You finally got a fairy!" I exclaimed as he walked down the ladder. When he reached the ground, he said,
"Yeah. Saria, this is Navi, my fairy. Navi, this is Saria, my best friend."
"Pleased to meet you!" Navi said happily, "The truth is, I finally got a Kokiri! Now, let's go see the Great Deku Tree, Link!"
"I'll see you later then." I said as I waved good bye.
Link nodded and started walking toward the Deku Tree's entrance. When he did get to the entrance, as I had thought, Mido was there guarding the path.
"Hey, you can't get in here without a sword and shield!" I heard Mido's fairy say.
"Ah, B.S.*! You don't need a sword or shield to see the Deku Tree!" Navi exclaimed.
"If you need to do him a favor you need to!" Mido said as he scoffed.
"Well, fine! I'll get a sword and shield! Just you wait." Link said as he walked off.
"Yeah, you'll die before you do!" Mido started laughing. Navi flew over to him, and bopped him on the nose to shut him up. She flew back over to Link, who was smiling at Navi's efforts. I ran up to Link.
"Hey! I can help you find the Kokiri Sword!" I said jumping up and down in excitement, "Can I come?"
"Sure, why not?" Link replied with a smile. I led Link and Navi to a hole in the wall on top of a hill. I crawled through, and heard Link following behind me.
"This doesn't look too safe," Navi said.
"Ah, don't be a chicken. We just started on this adventure, after all. Plus, if we need to visit the Deku Tree, we need a sword and a shield. I can't wait to see the look on Mido's face when I return to him all equipped!" Link beamed as we crawled out of the hole. I got up off the ground and turned to see a huge rock rolling around a square piece of risen land.
"That's what we have to dodge," I said as I pointed to the rock. I saw Link's face go pale.
"You m-mean we have to pass that thing?" Link said, quivering.
"Oh, it'll be easy," I said, "A lot easier than anything the Deku Tree will want you to do." I heard Link sigh.
"Yeah, and watch, after this I'll be embarking on an adventure to save the land of Hyrule." Link said as he rolled his eyes.
"Hmm, you never know, it just might happen," Said my own little fairy, Tasha.
We watched the rock carefully, and when we got our chance, we ran to the right, then to the left, and to the right again, where we found a big treasure chest. Link stared at it in amazement.
"Well? Don't just stand there! Open it!" Navi exclaimed, a little too overexcited.
Link walked up to the chest, and slowly, carefully opened it. He reached into it, pulled out a small sword, and held it up with a look of triumph on his face.
"You found it! You found it! You found the Kokiri Sword!" Navi squealed with delight.
"Yeah, now let's get out of here." Link said as he watched the rock again, and timed it carefully. I ran straight, then left with the other's following closely behind. I ran straight again, and looked behind me to see Link ran toward me. I rushed him into the hole, then went into the hole myself. When we got back to the other Kokiri, we started talking.
"So, what do you think the Deku Tree will want you to do?" I asked Link as we walked through some long grass.
"Hey! I found a 5 rupees!" Link exclaimed. He put the rupees in his pocket and said, "Well, maybe the Deku Tree will want me to run an errand or something, but I can't think of anything that he would want me to do with a sword and a shield."
"The Deku Tree may want you to scare of enemies!" Navi said.
"Or maybe he wants you to go into the Lost Woods!" Tasha said, excitement building up in both fairies.
Link sighed, "Yeah, and then I'll get lost. I've never been in the Lost Woods before."
"That's why they call it the Lost Woods, silly!" Navi said, apparently happy and full of energy.
I giggled. "Oh, you'll be fine. The Deku Tree wouldn't put you in danger." I said.
"I hope not," Link said.
We started walking toward the shop. When we got there, we examined the prices of random objects. I looked at the shield, and groaned.
"It's 40 rupees." I said sadly.
"That's okay, We'll find some more. I already have 10 rupees." Link replied.
"Hey! I have an idea!" Tasha shouted out, "How about we go into the lost woods and see if we can find anything?"
"That's a good idea!" Navi replied. Apparently, the two fairies like each others company.
So that's how this whole adventure started.
