(Link) Chapter one: The World

I do not own the legend of zelda, or any character within it.

Link, and Malon, and any other characters in this story are completely fictional. (Sadly. D:)

If you find a romance story between two people in pre-modern ages offensive, then turn back now.

I turned, and looked at the world now, for what it truly was. Vast fields, and trees as far as the eye could see. The grass swayed in the wind, and little animals burrowed in the ground. I looked to my right. There was Hyrule Castle. My destination. In front of me, was another fixture, of two buildings. I decided I would visit there later. To my left was the Gerudo Valley. Behind me was the tunnel that led to the Kokiri Forest. Navi flew form my hat, and spoke in her tiny voice.

"We have to go to Hyrule Castle, Link! We need to warn the Princess about Ganondorf!" She said.

"Right." I said, and I sprinted off towards Hyrule Castle.

When I reached Hyrule Castle, the bridge stood long, and the walls tall. A large entrance stood in front of me. I ran inside, and into a large curcular area with a fountain in the middle. I stood there, dumbfounded at all the people. The noise was deafening. I looked around, and saw no sign of a princess. I saw stores, and games, and homeless people. I walked around, and all I could get through to them was "Hello? I- Uh-... Um-..." and then they rudely push me away. I huffed angrily, and sat on the fountain.

"This is hopeless, Navi." I sighed. "I'll never find the princess this way."

I sat there for a good minute wondering how I was going to make it to the castle, then I hear a voice.

"Those green clothes... You must be a boy from the forest!"

I look up, and see a girl hovering over me. She has long, crimson red hair, and shining blue eyes, like starlight on water. She wore a long dress with Hyrulean text on the bottom, which reads "Lon" over and over again.

I blink, and stare at her. She smiles sweetly at me, and watches as Navi flies from inside my hat.

"Ohh! What's your fairy's name?" she asks curiously.

I blink again. "I'm sorry, but who are you?" I ask irritably.

"Oh Din, where are my manners? I'm Malon! I live down at the Lon Lon Ranch south of here!"

"I see now" I said. "I thought that was a small village or something."

"Nope. It's my home." Malon says, still smiling at me.

"So. What do you do there, at the Lon- Lon- Ranch" I sounded the name out individually, trying to remember it.

"We raise animals there. Such as, Cows, Horses, and Cuccos." Malon said, hopping up, and sitting down next to me.

"That's cool..... I think." I said, wondering what the hell Cows, and Horses were. I knew what Cuccos were, I saw them often in the forest.

"You think?" Malon laughed. "What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing." I stated quickly, kicking my feet. "I just have no clue what Cows, or Horses are."

"Wh- What?" Malon said, hesitantly. "Your joking, right?"

"No." I said.

"Well, Would you like to go see them?" Malon asked dreamily.

"I can't right now." I said. "I need to find the princess, and talk to her. It's really important."

"I see." Malon said. "Oh, I almost forgot to ask your name, Fairy Boy."

"My name," I said "Is Link."

"Pleased to meet you" Malon said politely. "I could take you to the ranch later, but I see your busy. You see, I'm here because my dad was making a delivery, and he must have fallen asleep. What a silly thing for an adult to do!" She laughed. "since you're going to to the castle, will you keep an eye out for him?"

"Sure!" I said. "I'll look for a sleeping man with lots of...." I stopped dead in mid-sentence.

"Uh- Milk." Malon finished.

"Right. Milk." I replied. "A sleeping man with lot of milk. Shouldn't be too hard."

"Thank you." Malon said happily.

I jumped up from my spot on the fountain, and pointed north towards an entryway to a large pointy building away from the marketplace.

"It's this way, yes?" I asked.

"Sure is!" Malon said, and hopped up too.

"Cool." I said, and ran in that direction.

"I'll wait here for ya!" Malon called after me. "And if you see my dad, tell him to go back to the ranch! Malon is waiting for him, and shes getting impatient!"

End of chapter one...

I plan on putting each chapter into two parts, so stay tuned, this will not end so soon.
