Author's Note:

The Link in this story is a mix between the TP Link and OoT Link just to clear things up

The Kokiri forest- a wondrous forest that houses protection for its inhabitants. Dangerous creatures such as demons and vampires threaten to ravage the outside world. The citizens of the forest are under protection of a guardian, the Great Deku Tree. Guardians use their power to ward off these creatures of evil.

This tale begins with a young goat rancher, Link. Link is seventeen years old with blonde hair and wears a white shirt with a red print. Link was rather unusual because he lacked a guardian fairy. Link was having a rather nasty dream.

In this dream, a fire was burning the woods and a dark shadow began making its way towards the village. The sounds of screaming filled the air. People moved passed Link like apparitions. Shadows became moving closer towards the village, they appear black and smoky with blood-red eyes. They came closer until Link suddenly jerked his head up and woke up with sweat on his face.

Link looked around his house and saw that it was mid-morning outside. "Great, I'm late for work." Link said to himself.

Walking around town, Link was popular with the kids of Kokiri.

"Hey Link, you're late for work arentcha?" one of the kids asked.

"Yep, I better get there fast." Link replied.

He went to the spring to retrieve his horse for his job. Link went to the ranch and got interrogated by the owner.

"So Link, how come you were late today? You are not normally this late at all. Even when you started working here."

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep well." Link replied.

"It's alright Link. You help out so much around the ranch. I'm just concerned for you. Anyways, I got the goats fed and grazing here, why don't you just take the rest of the day off."

"Alright, thanks."

Link decided to head back to his place, but a young girl wearing a cloak passed by him. She studied his eyes closely as he was heading back. The girl reached out to Link's shoulder and said, "Excuse me?"

Link turned around.

"Hi, do you know where the Great Deku Tree is?" she asked.

Link decided to ask where this mysterious girl came from. Outsiders were never seen inside Link's village. It was as though the forest had a barrier.

"Hey, how did you manage to find this village?" Link asked her.

"Oh, um…" she stuttered.

This girl is stuttering is there something that she's hiding?

"Well… I sorta got directions from somebody." She answered.

"Directions? That sounds kind of fishy." Link thought.

"I don't know if I can trust you to see the guardian. You're an outsider." Link stops.

"Please! Your village could be in danger!" she pleads.

"Prove it. Who are you and what are you doing in Kokiri?" Link demands.

The girl lifts her hood and she is revealed to be a beautiful maiden with long golden hair.

"My name is Zelda. I'm an enchantress." She reveals.

"Enchantress? Do you mean a witch?" Link puts up his sword to her.

"Witch has such a bad connotation. Yes, I am capable of casting spells that are out of reach for humans, but my power is not associated with dark magic!" She shakes her head.

"Alright." Link sheathes his sword. "I'll take you to the Tree. I'm going to grab my sword just in case we run into something. The forest can be dangerous. Oh, my name's Link by the way."

"Great! Thank you Link!" she replied happily.

And so the two arrive at the Great Deku Tree. The Tree was old and looking like he was going to wither any day now.

The Tree began speaking, "Ahhh, Zelda. Thou hast come to see me. And Link escorted thee! Link… Welcome. Listen to what I have to tell thee. I can read your expression that thou hast endured sleepless nights in the past few days."

"You know about my dream?" Link looked at the tree inquisitively.

"That I have. Zelda, what news thou has come to deliver?" The Tree asked.

"Yes, I am here to bear news that the demons are closing in on the forest!" She replied.

"Demons have tried and tried to puncture the forest, but thy failed against me."

"Are you certain?"

In a quick flash, Zelda ran to the tree and put her poisoned it. Her face changed to that of a creature with pale-white skin, blood red-eyes, and she took off her cloak to reveal that she was wearing a purple and black dress.

The tree was feeling the effects from the poison and muttered, "Vampire Queen Peach, thou hast allied thyself with the demons?"

Queen Peach replies, "Only to take over the land of Nodentni. Nobody can stop us. Your barrier only stops demons, but not vampires of a higher class."

And with that the Tree shriveled up and a blue liquid seeped from it. Link was putting up a guard position and yelled, "I should have never trusted you!"

"But, Linky, this wasn't possible without your help. I could have gotten stuck in the forest for all I know!" She laughed.

Link decided to strike at her. The Vampire Queen moved too fast to get hit by Link's attacks. She then disappeared and reappeared on a tree far from Link's reach.

"I would normally kill you, but I have a better plan in mind and decided to spare your life! I am such a wonderful person, you can thank me later!" The Queen taunted.

The trees were rustling and a large shadow appeared above Link. The demons were closing in on the village. Link was going to run to the village, but then he was held by two vampires. The Queen appeared in front of Link.

"Take this one to the Deep Darkness. He is the lucky one who gets spared today." The Queen requested her underlings.

The Deep Darkness is a swamp that is within the Kokiri forest. It draws its name from the plethora of trees that block the sun and it got worse as you would get closer to the heart of the swamp.

"Wow, your highness, you barely leave your captors alive." One of the vampires commented.

"Well, I felt gracious today. He is responsible for making this coup work out nicely." The Queen responded.

"I like the plan your highness."

Link was struggling to get out of the vampires' grasp. The vampires were apparating towards the swamp. The force of using apparation felt as though gravity was pulling you toward the ground while you were flying in a super-fast speed. Link knocked the vampires away from him while in apparating and they both flew in different angles as Link came crashing toward the ground. Link ended up in the swamp, but he saw that the village was on fire as the smoke indicates. Not wasting anytime, Link tried to run as fast as he could to the fire, but the swamp kept getting darker. Link decided to push on, unafraid of death.

I hoped people liked it. Please R+R and feel free to give me ideas. This story is going to be focused on Link mainly if you are wondering.
