Orphan

The legend of Zelda belongs to nintendo

Chapter 1 kokiri orphanage

Dull brownish grey floorboards, creak, creak, creak, under the weight of the childrens footsteps. Lumpy old mattresses that were less comfortable then sleeping on the dilapidated floor. The mirrors in this place were cracked and dulled with grime and the windows were cracked and dulled as well. The bathrooms and kitchen only had cold water, bathing was a cold and miserable affair. Green clothing given to the children when they arrive like a uniform. The children had small tattered blankets but not much else other then the clothes on their backs, but they were happy. They all had each other. It wasn't anyones fault the place was like this either, just a lack of funds to make the place habitable. Cremia, a woman with long reddish orange hair, creamy white skin, blue eyes and a permanent smile looked after the children. Wearing a white blouse, faded pink long skirt and no shoes.

Cremia smiled down a young boy holding her hand in bed, he had a nightmare and had screamed for cremia, crying slightly. The boy had dirty blond hair and azure blue eyes, his skin was a slight bit darker but not much, still pale. He sniffled wearing the green outfit, a green short sleeved shirt and shorts with bare feet. He was holding his trusted green hat and blue fairy plush in his free arm. His little plush helped him sleep at night. He didn't talk much.

Cremia patted the boys head and tried to calm him "Another nightmare Link?" Link nodded sniffling, snuggling further under his filthy blanket. Cremia sighed sadly, the poor boy suffered nightmares, he wouldn't say why but she had read the most probable reason in the police report she had received when Link arrived in this orphanage. He had been in a car accident, a drunk driver had been driving a bit recklessly and didn't notice Link and his parents crossing the street. The parents died on impact but Link had been lucky, the father pushed him out of the way so he was only barely clipped by the side of the car. He had been brought here after learning that his grandmother had died months earlier from illness. His sister Aryll slept soundly next to him, used the cries of his brother. She had bright blond hair and wore a faded green dress and was also bare foot. She too was pale and had bright blue eyes. She had been staying the night at a friends house when her parents and Link had been out so she too had been spared.

Cremia shushed the boy and hugged him "It's okay you are safe not, no one will hurt you." Link sniffled clinging to Cremia. The only parental figure he had now. He eventually cried himself to sleep, He was a young boy, only about 7 and was scared and lonely without his parents, his home, at least he had Aryll though, his sister helped him a lot to feel better.

He woke up early the next morning, yawning with dark circles under his eyes. Link brushed his teeth with the ice cold water and splashed his face to wake himself up. About 5 minutes later Aryll could be heard shifting on the lumpy dull bed "Mmmm, huh, oh brother your up early this morning." Link nodded walking over, the only person he talked to freely was his sister, he was very quiet and reserved around everyone else. "Hey sis, how are you feeling, get enought sleep?" Aryll nodded stretching a bit and yawning "Yeah i guess. As much sleep as you can get on a bed that feels like it's filled with potatoes." Link chuckled "True, hey Cremia said yesterday we could go out and play today, that'll be fun right?" Arylls blue eyes widened, she loved going out "YAY!" Jumping up and down on the bed now "I can't wait, I can't wait!"

Link chuckled until he saw a mop of orangish red hair walk into his room, a boy with pale skin and green clothes, lots of freckles on his face. The young boy looked about 8 years old. Link instantly shut up, he didn't like this boy. Aryll pouted seeing him "What do you want Mido?" Sticking her tongue out at him. Mido scowled "Shut up Aryll, I just came to tell you Cremia wants you and Link downstairs now, more adults here today to adopt, maybe I can finally get away from you losers." Going downstairs. Aryll blinked her large aqua eyes "Ooooh adults, did you hear that Link!? We might get adopted!" Link nodded "Yeah..." He didn't hold any hope for that though, the parents normally didn't like him, he was too shy and quiet and Aryll refused to be adopted without her big brother with her.

They shuffled downstairs, more like Aryll practically flew downstairs with Link shuffling quietly behind her. They saw a few adults looking around and talking to the kids, it was hard loving here so the children did the best they could to seem polite and happy so the adults would like them. Link sat in a chair on the far end of the room staying quiet with his sister next to him. A middle aged man was talking to Saria, Links best friend. She had green hair in a kind of bob like hair style and a brownish hair band. Wearing a green tank top with a lime green sweatshirt underneath and green shorts, again bare foot. The middle aged man frowned at something Saria said. Apparently Saria was being difficult again, she didn't want to be adopted, she wanted to stay here with Mido and Cremia.

The man walked over to Link and Aryll "Hey there, I'm Rusl." He said smiling at them. He was a bit pale too, but had a slight coloring to him, showing he was out in the sun often. He had a white headband holding up a mop of dirty blond hair. Wearing a greenish brown jacket that went down to his upper thigh and white jeans. A tan shirt on under his coat. He had leather sandals on. His eyes were an aqua blue. "What are you guys called?" Link blinked at him staying quiet and looking down but that was fine, Aryll answered for the both of them "I'm Aryll and this is my big bro Link!" She said politely with her big eyes looking at him. "What do you two like to do?" He asked them, trying to get to know them a bit, Aryll thought for a moment then replied energetically "I like playing outside! My big bro likes to read and listen to music, but he also likes playing outside too." Rusl smiled at this, outdoor energetic kids. "I live on a farm, lots of animals to play with and lots of places to play outside." Arylls eyes lit up "Oooooh~!" She obviously sounded very excited at the thought of being on a farm and seeing all the animals. Link looked up, that did sound nice.

Rusl looked at Link, seeing he now had his attention "You like farms Link?" Link nodded quietly "I got cows, cuckoos, pigs, all sorts of animals." Link smiled a little, he loved animals. Aryll clapped "We both love animals!" Rusl chuckled "How would you two like to live on a farm with me?" Link blinked "You want both of us?" Rusl nodded "I can't very well seperate a brother and sister now can I?" Link smiled and looked at Aryll "How does living on a farm sound Aryll?" Aryll jumped in excitement "That sounds like soooo much fun!" Rusl chuckled lightly "It's decided then, now I can't take ya now, got to talk to her first." Pointing at Cremia "Then I have to look at some stuff and i can probably come and get you in a few days, besides I'm sure you guys have friends here you want to talk to before you go." Link again nodded quietly "Alright, I'll see you two in a few days." Going and talking to Cremia.

Link, after all the adults left ran over to Saria "Aryll and i got adopted! By a nice man who owns a farm." He was excited to have a better place to live even though he would be leaving Cremia and Saria behind he could always visit them. Saria smiled "That's wonderful Link! Hey I want you to have something before you go, close your eyes and hold out your hand." Link gave a confused look but closed his eyes and felt a weight in his outstretched hand "Okay you can open your eyes now." Link opened his eyes to see a small wood ocarina in his hands "I made that one a few days ago, I was going to give it to you for your birthday but you won't be here then so I'll give it to you now." Link gave Saria a huge smile "Wow, thanks Saria, this looks so nice, I can't wait to play it." Saria giggled at his display "I can teach you a song on it right now if you want."

So they spent the next fifteen minutes playing the ocarina together and Link learned a nice upbeat song "Thanks again Saria." He said smiling at her. She just nodded "Of course, now go on and talk to Cremia, I'm sure she'll miss you after you go." Link looked down "Yeah, I'm gonna miss you guys a lot..." He had been so excited he hadn't put much thought into how much he would miss them. Saria patted his back "Hey you can always visit right?" Link nodded with a small smile "Right."

He spent a bit longer with Saria, chatting and having fun before going over to Cremia who was currently in the kitchen "Hey Link, we are having eggs for dinner tonight went to help me out?" She asked getting some more eggs from the egg holder. Link nodded "Sure thing." She chuckled and put a chair out for him to stand on so he could reach the counter "Alright I need you to break the eggs and put whats inside the shell into that blue bowl, But don't get any shell into the bowl." Link nodded "You don't have to explain, I've helped before." She smiled "I know i know." And link helped Cremia with dinner, smiling and having fun, by the time they were done they were both covered in flour. Cremia smiled at Link setting the eggs on the table "Thanks for the help Link." Link nodded, not mentioning anything about him leaving, that would ruin the happy mood.

The next day was much the same, hanging out with Saria and helping Cremia. The next day however Rusl returned.
