In hyrule, Link was in sword practice. He wore his usual green chainmail tunic. Sword practice for him was his favorite thing as a prince. The only prince. Being the only prince, he was treated with respect but he also had too many guards. This was because he was going to be king. He didn't want to be king, he wanted to be an adventurer. He wanted to slay monsters and be a hero. He wanted to see the outside world not be cooped up in a castle or a carriage when travelling. The closest he got was being a knight besides his teaching. His travelling or walking in the town rather than stuck in the castle. He finally got his wish, but not the way he wanted. It was during a carriage trip. A dragon in the form of the long defeated volvagia appeared. Breathing fire across the road surrounding them in flames killing some guards, his friends. He stepped out of the carriage with bow drawn. He took an arrow, drew it and fired at the fiery beast. He noticed then, a shadowy figure on top of it. He shot arrow after arrow which either burnt into flames or missed. He then decided to focus his attack on the figure since most of his guards were either dead or dying. The first arrow hit the figure directly in the heart but he didn't even flinch. The carriage he was behind turned to ash. The figure jumped off the beast as it wreaked havoc across the area. The figure was a blur of motion in battle with the guards not even standing a chance as he walked towards link, mockingly. Link drew his sword and dropped his bow. He charged the figure. The shadow moved and link was on the ground in pain without a sword in seconds. The shadow removed his hood and it was link. He was different but it was him. He instead of his blue eyes and blonde hair had red eyes and black hair. His tunic was black. He seemed to mock everything good about link. His doppelganger just stood there, then he did a tremendous leap back onto his dragon and disappeared in the distance towards Death Mountain.
