Hey, so I'm a MASSIVE Legend of Zelda fan, I have played most games and this one is based around the best one, Ocarina of Time...so if you've played it I know for a fact you'll love this, if you haven't, it shouldn't be too hard to follow so enjoy anyway:)
Each child had a fairy, a protector. All except Link. Kokiri was Link's home, it's where the lost children of Hyrule are sent, the ones whose parents had died. Link didn't know why he didn't have a fairy but it caused him to get teased by the other children, especially Mido.
Mido was the bully of the forest, if you will. He called himself 'The great Mido' or 'Mido the great' or anything that made himself the hierarchy. Mido lived off power and was a control freak. His house had a red carpet lined with treasure chests and a large stump at the end of the carpet where Mido will stand and play king of the forest. Everyone thought it was ridiculous, but they all knew they were in for it if they didn't bow down at his feet. Mido especially hated Link and didn't accept him as a Kokiri as he didn't have a fairy. He however, felt jealousy. Link was always the favorite of Saria and The Great Deku Tree.
The Great Deku Tree was the real leader, Mido of course would follow anything instructed by The Great Deku Tree, but still likes to consider himself the boss of Kokiri. The Great Deku Tree is the protector of the forest and the spirits of the Forest. The fairies are assigned to be the children's personal protectors and companions.
Link did have one good friend in the forest, her name was Saria. She was sweet and innocent, she accepted Link despite him not having a fairy. The other children (with the exception of Mido) weren't mean to Link, but he was different. He was a minority in the forest and everyone knew it, they talked about it behind his back. Link sometimes over heard, it still hurt him every time.
He had heard Mido talking about him when he went to the Kokiri shop, he was about to enter but decided to stand outside and listen to the conversation. When he's older, he wants to be a hero. To save many lives. He may be lazy around the forest, but he had a dream. He still had yet to locate the hidden sword of Kokiri. He would go into the shop everyday and just look at the shield, wishing he had enough rupees. Mido had wealthy parents who left him stacks and stacks of rupees when they died and he was sent to Kokiri. So Mido would make everyone do big jobs for him during the weekends and pay them 1 rupee each for it. It was a small amount, but that's how everyone got money. Except for Link, who refused to do Mido's ridiculous chores that he should be doing himself.
Link walked sadly to his house. His hands hanging loosely at his sides, head down. He stopped at the sign 'Link's house' sighing at the word house. A house isn't a home with no family, right? He thought about Mido's one way conversation with the shop keeper.
"Did you see Link at the training grounds earlier?" Mido smirked. The shopkeeper just shook his head. Mido rolled his eyes and leaned towards the shopkeeper, resting an arm on the counter,
"He thinks that he's so amazing, he thinks he's going to be a hero." Mido paused and scoffed. "Well whacking a stump with a wooden sword won't get him anywhere. He doesn't even have a fairy, but if he did, the fairy would be less wimpy than him!" he laughed manically. The shopkeeper simply nodded in fake agreement, not wanting to agree and offend Link, but not wanting to anger Mido. Mido narrowed his eyes at the boy.
"You're no fun," he huffed, taking a bottle of milk and storming out the shop. Link watched him as he walked.
"What are you looking at no-fairy-boy?" he turned his nose up at Link. Link put his fists up in anger, Mido flinched but then burst out laughing.
"What are you going to do? Hit me with your wooden sword? For the record, I know where the Kokiri sword is hidden." Link looked up at him abruptly at this information. Of course Mido didn't know where the sword was, but he'll do anything to wind Link up.
He climbed up the wooden ladder to his house and entered the small room. He slumped lazily on his bed, huffing as he did so. Why was he the one without a fairy? It could be anyone, but it's him. He was pulled out of his thoughts by a soft, only just audible knock on the door. Link made some sort of a grumpy noise to gesture for them to enter.
"Hi Link, are you alright?" A small, innocent Saria appeared at the now open door. She gave a warm smile as Link instantly sat up.
"Oh...yeah I'm fine," he said gruffly, Saria obviously seeing through his lie.
"It's not Mido again is it?" she sighed. Link just stared at her. Saria groaned.
"Link, you have to stop letting him get to you, he's an idiot who feeds of power!" she exasperatedly said. Link raised an eyebrow.
"I'll go talk to him then," Saria said, giving up on Link's mind games.
Saria burst into Mido's house, his eyes lit up slightly.
"Saria!" he almost beamed. "You...seem angry?" he questioned.
Mido loved Saria, she was cute and pretty, but she clearly favored Link which just made Mido jealous of him.
"Stop picking on Link," she said harshly. Mido just sighed and ignored it. "Mido!" she demanded, "I mean it." Mido turned his back on her and sulked. Saria ran from his house to the top of Kokiri, the lost woods. She made her way through the woods and sat on a tree stump. This was her usual spot, it was quiet and solitary. She sat with her elbows on her knees, chin resting on her hands.
Link finally got out of his house and made his way to the training grounds, his small wooden sword in hand. He was harshly thrusting it in to the small logs in anger. What was Mido's problem? So he didn't have a fairy, so what?! He thrusted too hard and fell backwards slightly, falling into the wall. He landed on a small part of mud.
"Great," he complained. He got up and brushed himself off. It was then he noticed a small hole in the wall, small, but he could probably fit. He curiously ben down and looked through it, there was something on the other side. He crawled through the hole and made his way to the other end. He stood up and found himself in a small sort of maze, he made his way through through it, avoiding the...massive rolling boulders?
"Stupid Deku Tree," he muttered to himself. He came to a large chest. He approached it and slowly opened it, revealing a sword.
"A sword?" he asked himself. "A sword...a sword, oh my god a sword...oh my god the Kokiri sword!" He picked the sword up and held it heroically.
"Get a load of this Mido," he declared proudly. He took the sword and ran back, and crawled back through the hole, trailing the sword with him. He ran to Mido's house and burst in.
"Look at this Mido! Look what I found! HAH!" he held the sword up high. Mido stood there, shoulders drooped, mouth wide open and eyes massive.
"Where on earth did you find that?!" he gaped. Link raised his eyebrows questioningly.
"Oh, so you didn't know where it was!" he laughed evilly. "Yeah for the record I know where the Kokiri sword is!" he impersonated in Mido's voice. Mido scowled at him.
"Give it!" he snapped, running towards Link. Link quickly hid it behind his back, backing away from Mido. "Give it to me Link. I'm the boss of Kokiri, The Great Deku tree would want me to have it." Link knew this wasn't true.
"Hah, Deku Tree prefers me, and you know it!" he said arrogantly.
"You don't even have a fairy, how are you worthy of the sword?!" Mido shouted. Link just laughed. He ran out of Mido's house, Mido chasing him across Kokiri. Link ran towards the entrance to Hyrule field.
"Link what are you doing?! You can't go through there you idiot!" Mido called. Link looked back at him and shrugged.
"Link!" Saria shouted, running towards them.
"Come with me!" he reached his hand out to Saria. She stood there gawping at Link.
"You are kidding aren't you Link?!" she exclaimed.
"No, seriously, we could have an adventure Saria c'mon! Just us!" Without thinking, Saria took his out-stretched hand and followed him through the entrance. Mido suddenly felt a wave of jealousy go through him and followed them out.
"Mido, go back!"Link said, frustrated.
"No, if you're going, I'm coming!" he argued. Link sighed in defeat and just let him come, he wouldn't last five minutes in the outside world anyway. The three walked across the bridge that goes through the lost wood and down the path and were faced with Hyrule field, they stood at stared in amazement at how big it was. This was the start of a new life.
So I hope this was okay! Please tell me what you think:)
