((A/N: Yay! MY Zelda Fanfic! Me and a friend did something somewhat related to this. Never finished, though. So here it is. And yes, he's living in the forest still. I'll explain later on. It's short, but it's a prologue, so deal with it. R&R.))

A bead of sweat dropped down his neck.

Link, the Hero of Time, stood there, frozen in fear as he saw what looked like Ganondorf, the King of Evil. Link could have sworn he was sealed in the Sacred Realm.

The Evil King walked over to Link, slowly. Link's head was pounding from his laughter. He tried to pull his sword, but he was paralyzed in fear.

Ganondorf's eyes stared directly into Link's. It was like an endless staring contest. Link was so terrified that he couldn't even blink.

And then Ganondorf pulled out something, which made Link's eyes widen.

Majora's Mask.

But Link destroyed it! Or, at least he defeated the evil within it... Will the evil return? Will Link have to defeat both Ganondorf and the mask?

Ganondorf did something that Link knew would happen. He put on the mask. A dark, malevolent aura surrounded Ganondorf as he continued to laugh. Link, still frozen, watch Ganondorf laugh. Eventually, the Evil King looked down to Link and began to walk to him. Link watched him come closer and closer and then eventually...

Link fell down, into the dark abyss. His laughter pierced his chest. Link's eyes were still wide open, and so he watched the darkness surround him.

But then he got up. He looked around. It was his Kokiri home. He lay back down, panting. Was it just a dream? No... It was a nightmare. He turned to lie on his side, and then looked at his hands. He was missing the Triforce of Courage.
