Once upon a time, in a far off land, there was a pirate. This pirate sailed the seas with her crew, accomplishing many tasks. One day, a big bird kidnapped her. Her pirate crew chased her and her kidnapper through the seas. The bird eventually dropped her atop a summit. On the summit, a boy, garbed in green, rescued her. The boy's sister was mistaken for the pirate girl and was kidnapped. With the help of the pirate and her crew, the boy found his sister and rescued her. The pirate was revealed later to be Princess Zelda. The princess was kidnapped by an evil man, named Ganondorf. Ganondorf attempted to use her power to grant a single wish, a wish that could destroy all of the kingdom of Hyrule and the land above it. The boy, named Link, saved the princess, and killed Ganondorf, saving all of Hyrule. The boy and the pirate girl continued to sail the seas after, looking for a new kingdom.
Niko, a smallish pirate wearing a bandana over his head, put down the picture cards he liked to make. He told a story of a group of pirates who sailed the seas with a young boy clothed in green. Said boy, Link, lay on the deck of the ship, sleeping. Niko looked up the stairs as Tetra, the young pirate girl in the story, stormed down towards Link, bellowing for him to wake up.
"Wake up, Link! And you, Niko, are supposed to be looking for the Ghost Ship!" The girl stomped her foot, "Well, get up there," she said, indicating a tall crow's nest. Niko pouted slightly and climbed, hand over hand, up the ladder. Link stood up, yawning loudly and stretching. He squeezed his eyes shut and cracked his neck slightly. "I seriously don't know how a twelve year-old boy could sleep so much," Tetra commented.
He muttered "Shows what you know," under his breath. "Anyway, how do we know that the Ghost Ship is even near here?" Link asked.
"We don't, my guess is as good as yours. We still need to be ready to plunder it, though," Tetra, like any pirate, was convinced that on this "Ghost Ship" was treasure, and lots of it.
"Yeah, we want the treasure, don't we?" A large man called Gonzo, asked the boy. Gonzo was steering the ship, as that was his job. The boat continued to rock and the grogginess was making Link slightly off balance.
"Uh, hey, guys?" Niko called from the nest, his voice noticeably smaller. Link and Tetra looked up at him. He pointed towards the front of the ship. Tetra sprinted up the stairs to see, Link lazily jogging behind her. She climbed out to the pole, jutting out of the bow. Tetra saw a fog rolling in and almost squealed with glee. By most accounts, the fog was a sign of the Ghost Ship, and Link knew what came next.
"Treasure!" Tetra exclaimed. Link sighed and followed her back to the deck. "Gonzo, straight ahead, stay course! We'll be on top of it in a matter of minutes,"
In a matter of minutes, their ship was fully engulfed in fog. A gong sounded as a spooky looking ship came into view. Tetra yelled out at her crew, "Ghost Ship ahead!" Link's grogginess was fading away and being replaced with interest. He looked out at the ship and could immediately tell why people called it the Ghost Ship. Aside from being garnished and decorated with skulls, the ship itself was somewhat transparent, making it look ghostly. With the fog combined, it was actually kind of scary. As the pirate ship came to be parallel with the ghostly shape, Tetra climbed aboard.
"I'm going to go scope it out, it looks eerily empty," Tetra told her crew. She ran into the ship and silence greeted the rest. Link looked around at the pirates who had gathered. Gonzo, Niko, a nerdy one with glasses named Mako, and himself. He cracked his neck habitually. Suddenly, a scream was heard from within the the Ghost Ship, recognized as Tetra's voice. Any tiredness still in Link's body left immediately and he pulled his sword out of its scabbard on his back. The shield was then unstrapped and Link ran to the railing as the other ship started moving.
Link jumped. For a few seconds, all he felt was air. His hand grasped for the railings on the opposing ship. The ship had moved too far and Link struggled to grab anything. His hand slid down the ship, creating splinters in his hand. For a brief second, Link was able to grasp a piece of wood, jutting from the side of the ship. Soon, though, his hand slipped and he fell the remaining meters into the water. He passed out.
