It has been a WEIRD year! I am so exhausted with taking care of Link, Hyrule, Zelda, and my own home, but it is good to have the responsibility. I apologize: my name is Christina, I'm 25, I'm a college student, and boy do I have a story to tell.

It all really began about 14 months ago when I sat down to play one of my favorite video games: The Legend of Zelda; Twilight Princess. All was going normal when the screen on my TV began acting weird. It began to ripple like I was losing the signal, then it began to wave back and forth like a ship on the water. Naturally, I thought the game was messing up, so I turned it off and unplugged the console. What I didn't know was that by turning off everything, I had finished opening a portal: a portal, in which the lines of fiction and reality were blurred, and monsters and heroes that were once simple pixels and graphics could do things that were unheard of. Well, the rest of the day I worked on my homework for my business classes, and thought nothing of the strange behavior of my game console. The next morning I went to my classes as normal, but it was on my way home that the weirdness began.

I was driving in my little Hyundai, just listening to my favorite country star on the radio when at the passenger side of my car a flash of light appeared! It scared me so bad that I swerved into the next lane of traffic, narrowly avoided being hit by a semi, and it caught the attention of a police officer. I wasn't even paying attention to the cop though, as I was more occupied with what was happening next to me. From the flash of light materialized someone that looked human, but more graceful than any human I had ever met. The features grew more and more detailed as the light disappeared, and the creature manifested itself. By this point I was so frightened that I pulled off to the side of the road and attempted to flee the car, but as it was a habit to lock my doors while I was driving, and my frightened brain could not cope with it, I tugged on the door handle like an idiot, screamed bloody murder, and all I could do was watch the events taking place in the passenger seat of my car. When the light was finally gone, there was a young man that had taken its place. Don't get me wrong, I have a boyfriend, but if I was not seeing him I would definitely given this guy a chance. He was gorgeous! He had dark blond hair that was mostly hidden beneath a green hat, but it peeked out through the top so I could see just enough. His hat was strange enough as well: it rather looked like one of those old night-caps that you saw Ebenezer Scrooge in from Charles Dickens's "A Christmas Carol" and the end of it fell to his slender waist. His face was utterly angelic, with bright blue eyes that shone with a kindness and ferocity that is usually only seen in the movies. He wore a tunic of green with leather strapping around his waist and chest, and he wore bracers on his arms that covered his hands, but the most odd feature about the boy was his ears. They were longer than any normal ears I had ever seen and they came to perfect points at their tips. We looked at each other in shock and awe. He sat there next to me without saying a word until that cop approached the car. The officer knocked on the driver's door, and asked,

"Are you okay, Miss?" I replied,

"Yes sir just got a little bit scared of something that I saw."

"What did you see?"

"I thought I saw an animal in the road, and I swerved to avoid hitting it."

"Can you both step out of the car please?"

"Okay."

I stepped out of the car, but I saw that my newly acquired passenger hadn't made a single move.

"What's wrong with your friend?"

"He's new to town, and he doesn't understand English very well."

"Tell him to step out of the car."

I didn't know what to do. This was a character that was known for never saying a word to anyone. All I could do was look over at him and repeat what the officer had said. He looked at the cop, and me and seemed to understand that we were dealing with someone who upheld the law. He nodded, and repeated the action he had seen me do with pulling on the handle of the door. He got out of the car, and stood next to me. After the officer had searched my car to his satisfaction, and determined that neither of us were under the influence of any kind of drug he let us go. I had to open the door for my new friend as he was indeed new to town, and didn't understand. In fact, he appeared to be slightly shaken by the whole experience. I looked at him, and I asked him point blank:

"Is your name Link?"

He nodded at me.

"Can you speak?"

"Indeed I can. Why would you ask such a ridiculous question, and can you tell me where I am? This place looks nothing like Hyrule."

I was shocked for the second time that day. Link, the Silent Hero, the One whose actions truly spoke louder than words, was talking and I was the one to hear his voice for the first time.

"Well," I replied, "You're in a place called America, in the state of Florida."

"I have never heard of either of these places. Is this some new temple that I have to conquer and claim its treasures?"

"No, it's just where I live."

"Who are you?" he asked me.

I told him my name, and he asked me again why "in the name of the goddesses would I assume he couldn't speak."

I looked at him, and realized that I had a lot of explaining to do. This was a guy who had materialized out of a video game into my car. That defied the laws of physics themselves, not only that but I suddenly realized that the answer to the question of whether or not there were alternate dimension out there had been answered. Yes, I had some explaining to do. I made a call to my friend, Kyle, who was an avid Zelda fan and told him that I had someone with me that he would want to meet. When we got there, Kyle stepped out to meet us and when he saw Link, he was ecstatic. If you have ever seen the way that a dog greets its master when he comes home, that was the way Kyle acted. Of course, Link was not amused and drew his sword and warned the boy to get back. After I explained that Kyle was a friend of mine, and we were both going to try to answer Link's questions he sheathed his sword and allowed us to lead him into the house, but he kept a very close eye on Kyle. Kyle took us to his room where his own game console was, and he took out all of his Zelda games. The big surprise took us when we found that Link was not on any of the game covers. He was just gone! We both assumed it was because Link was standing here with us instead of in Hyrule where he belonged. Then we looked at Youtube, fan galleries, and photo galleries for any videos or photos relating to Link: nothing. Link was here in our world, and he was all too real.

"Ummm, Link," I said, "We have a problem."

"I can already see that. How do we solve it?"

"Well, let's look at what we know: you are supposed to be in the world of Hyrule and somehow you showed up in my car. This means that you are no longer made of pixels and digital photography; you're flesh and blood. This means that if you get hurt in this world you get hurt for real, and unfortunately here there are no fairies to heal you. You will heal the normal way, which takes a long time. Not only that, I am worried that if you got through other things may have as well."

"What kind of things?" he asked.

"You're enemies. The creatures that you had to fight in your world may very well have come to this one, which means that they will cause havoc if they get through. We need to get you back through whatever portal you came from and shut it."

"I have a different theory," said Kyle. "What if the Portal shut itself behind Link and can only be opened if something happens?"

"Kyle, in all the years that video games have existed when have you ever known a portal to open or shut on it's own without the aid of a hero?"

Kyle looked at me and then at Link and said, "You're right. Let's think: Link, what do you last remember doing before you showed up in Christina's car?"

Link folded his hands and sat back in his chair with a thoughtful look on his handsome face. After a minute he replied,

"I believe I was riding my horse somewhere in the Hyrule fields looking for a treasure chest that contained something of value to me."

Man, Link may have been able to talk all along, but he was a hero of few words.

"Okay, I was driving my car when all this happened, and before that I was studying. Wait a sec, I was also playing my Zelda game and my TV screen started acting funny."

Kyle asked, "Funny, how?"

"It kinda rippled like water and then started acting like it was losing signal. You don't think…..?"

"That could be the Portal back to my own world." Link replied.

"I can't take you back to my house right now though. My parents would not understand why I have brought home a boy that I am not related to, nor would they let you spend the night so I can't bring you to my house until morning."

"It is alright. I have been in worse places. Besides I don't ever recall having to feel the need to sleep."

"Link, you are not in Hyrule; you are in America. There are different laws here that apply to living creatures, three of them being the need for sleep, food, and water."

"It's cool, Christina. He can sleep here at my house. Link and me are going to be best buds, you'll see."

Link and I passed a glance to each other knowing that Kyle's behavior would probably less than savory, but what else could we do?

"Don't worry, dude," I said, "I'll be back in the morning for you, in the mean time Kyle, please don't piss him off, and Link, if he pisses you off don't hurt him."

We all shared a laugh and I took off for home. The next morning, after my parents had left, I made the trip over to Kyle's house. When I got there, I found chaos. Kyle had ignored my warning about pissing off Link, and I found couches overturned and Kyle huddling in the corner with Link standing over him with his sword drawn.

"WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED HERE!" I shouted.

Link looked at me and sheathed his sword. I looked at Kyle and said,

"Kyle! What did you do to piss him off?"

"I don't know!" he sobbed.

"This boy impeded on the honor of Princess Zelda, and informed me that he thought she was nothing better than the town tart. I will not have the name of the Princess of Hyrule sullied by a stupid boy who cannot hold his tongue in check!"

It was the most I had ever heard Link say up to that point, and I was appalled that Kyle would go that far.

"Kyle, I'll deal with you later. Come on Link, let's get you home."

Kyle timidly spoke up, "can I help?"

I looked at him and said, "I don't think that's a good idea. You've already made him mad once."

Link and I left the house leaving a dejected Kyle to clean up the mess that he had made. I looked at Link and thoroughly apologized for his behavior. Link looked at me and said,

"I do not blame you by any means. I just want to go home."

We walked into my house, and I turned on the game that had caused the trouble. Once again the screen began to ripple and roll like there was something wrong with the signal. Link walked up to the screen, and tried to put his hand through it, but I stopped him. I looked at his angelic face and I asked him,

"Link, before you go could I please see the Triforce of Courage?"

Link took off his right bracer, and there it was. It looked like a tattoo on his hand, but it had a power behind it that I could not place. To behold such an emblem was truly a great honor for me.

"Thank you, Link."

I put my hand out to shake his hand, and he clasped it with the hand that bore the Triforce. After a short shake we tried to release our hands, but they would not let go of each other. We were stuck!

"Link, let go of my hand!"

"You release my hand!"

"I can't!"

Suddenly I felt a pulling around my waist. It was as if something had grabbed me and was pulling me towards the screen. It did not hurt, but it was surprising. Link must have felt it was well because he had a surprised look on his face as well. Somehow we passed through a doorway of light that had emerged from the screen and as we were pulled along, I felt my body begin to change somehow. My clothing became different, and my body seemed to become stronger, more muscular, and sleeker. The light became more and more narrow, and then a pinpoint of darkness at the end that grew larger and larger, until finally we emerged from the light, a tangle of arms and legs, hands still clasped together, and both of us very shocked. The door closed behind us and all that was left surrounding us was sunlight and a great, grassy field. Finally, I was able to let go of Link's hand and take a look around.

"Where am I? Link! What did you do?"

"Me? I did nothing!"

"Somebody did something!"

"It was I."

The voice seemed to come from all around us. It was a sweet feminine voice that was full of power. Link looked to his right, and I followed suit. Then over the hill a drop-dead gorgeous woman came riding up over the hill on a white horse leading two other horses behind her. She pulled up beside us, and said,

"It was I who called you here. I am sorry Link, but I had to send you to the other world without your knowledge."

I looked at the lady and said,

"Princess Zelda, I assume?"

"You assume correctly; now to business: Link please escort the young lady to the castle we have much to discuss."
