One day in the Kokiri Forest, I was fast asleep in the tree that overlooked the lot of the village. From there one could usually see all the little Hylians. I could see the tradesman, and the gardeners, and all the fools out there that didn't know what was happening next.
It was before morning when the knock at the door came. Rubbing my eyes, and shuffling to the door, I finally opened it to see who was there. On the other side was no one. Where had the knock come from then? I looked to my right and then left, but no one was there at the moment. At first, I thought I had imagined the knock, but then I looked down at the ground to see that whoever had knocked at the door had left a letter there.
The letter was sealed nicely and printed on it was a circle emblem of sorts with different pieces sectioned from each other. I brought the letter inside and opened it. Just as she had heard it, the little fairy, Navi, had woken up.
"Hey!" she screamed as she flew down to my side. "What is that?"
"I don't know," I replied. "Someone just put it at my door."
Opening the letter, I read it aloud, "Dear Link," it began, "Please come and help me. I've been captured and taken to a far away castle. I need your help. Please hurry."
The letter finished with a signature from Princess Zelda.
"Zelda's been captured," I told Navi.
"Not again! Didn't you kill Ganondorf already after he escaped from the Twilight Realm?"
"She never said that it was Ganondorf who had her," I told Navi.
"Well… if it's not him, then who could it be!?"
"I don't know."
"Does it say where to go?"
I took another look at the letter.
"It says, 'Head through Hyrule. Head west for as far as you can. You will find me there'."
"Link," Navi spoke, "what if it's a trap?"
I grabbed the master sword and my shield while slapping on my green hat along with my bow and arrow. I wouldn't have been grabbing all that stuff if I had known where I was going exactly. West? West of the Kakiri Forest? I didn't really know what lied over there. Probably more wilderness.
"Well, Navi are you coming?" I asked my fairy friend.
"Are you crazy!? No! I'm staying right here. If this isn't Ganondorf… then, who could it be?" Navi asked me.
"You're right," I laughed and closed the door not knowing that the direction, in which I was bound, was not the way to Zelda at all. In fact, Zelda, at the moment, was just fine. But I went forward, not yet knowing the dangers and awesomeness of the journey.
