Takes place after OoT (ocarina of Time). I hope you enjoy it.
An older man looked out a castle window. The skies were dark even at the peak of the day. An army of approximately 350 soldiers advanced over the hillside.
"Move it," someone screamed!
"Secure the wall," some else yelled!
Screams like this could be heard from inside the castle.
"Master Link, here is your equipment," a servant said.
He held a pair of brown pants, a green shirt that was almost like a skirt, and a triangular hat. They were all insulated with light metal armor. Link quickly dressed in his clothes and slipped on his leather boots.
The land of Hyrule was under siege.
"Thirty years of no evil and now this," Link said to the servant almost leaving the room. "I'm forty eight years old; I'm not sure how much longer I can fight."
"You'll have to; we have no one else," the servant replied as he left the room.
Link left his hut and walked out into the town square. All the houses were locked and no soul was left. Suddenly a group of about 50 soldiers with swords and shields walked up to the drawbridge. Link drew his bow and walked up a set of stairs leading to the castle wall. Over 50 soldiers equipped with bow and arrows were ready to strike. Link took his place at the head of the line and drew an arrow.
The enemy army stopped 50 feet away from the castle wall. The army put their shields above their heads, making a giant shield above all the soldiers. Suddenly a soldier named Mordaci came up the stairs and talked to Link.
"Link, this army doesn't look normal. What do you think they are?" the soldier asked.
"I do not know, Mordaci, but I think they are normal. They do have an evil presence to them though," Link replied.
Mordaci shook his head and ran back down the stairs.
"Ready your arrows," Link commanded. "Steady, aim, FIRE!"
Dozens of arrows flew from the castle wall, but all hit the enemies' shields and broke.
"Hold your fire," Link demanded.
The enemy army didn't move. Link heard horses coming from the castle. Looking back Link saw Mordaci was riding with 25 men mounted on horses, ready for battle. Mordaci nodded to Link. Link turned around and looked at the enemy. He gripped his sword and held it high. He quickly pulled out a bomb and threw it in the air. The bomb hit the enemy soldiers and killed some but the others fell down.
Link waved his sword, giving the signal to fire. Arrows flew from the walls hitting and killing some soldiers.
The drawbridge opened and horses came flying out. They ran over the enemy and killed them. The horses ended the charge and the riders drew their swords and fought on horseback.
However, the enemy was more skilled and powerful and soon started killing Link's men. Next came Hyrule's soldiers on foot who charged at the enemy army.
The two armies collided and soon got into a tangle of swords and shields. Link quickly used his claw shot to get off the wall. He unsheathed his sword and charged at two enemy soldiers. He quickly jabbed one, killing him instantly. He blocked the attack of the next one and then sliced into him. Looking ahead he saw an enemy with a sword to the neck of one of Hyrule's warriors. Link sprinted forward and jumped at the enemy. He whipped his sword, cutting into the opponent who dropped dead. Link looked at the fight and, surprisingly, they were winning. But suddenly Link felt a presence behind him. He jumped forward, but was too late. The sword just barely hit Link's side but it still hit him. He fell to the floor as blood started to trickle out. The enemy jumped on top of Link and was ready to kill him. Suddenly, Link pulled out his claw shot and aimed it at the soldiers' heart. It pierced his chest, killing the soldier instantly.
Link was now on the ground and dizzy. He stumbled to his feet, but when he rose he saw the enemy retreating. Shouts came from the castle, cheers of victory from the soldiers. All the soldiers pulled back into Hyrule castle. Link remained on the ground. Suddenly he was being picked up but he shut his eyes and lost the light.
Link awoke in a building. He got off his bed.
"Stay, you must rest," said a strange voice.
"What's happening?" Link asked while grunting. He looked down and noticed a small bandage on the side of his stomach.
"You are at the Hyrule medical center. You got hurt but you'll be able to go in a few moments," the doctor said.
"This is so small; how could it hurt me so bad?" Link questioned.
"It often happens to older people," the doctor said.
"I think I'm getting too old to do this job," Link said ashamed.
The doctor gave Link a smart glare and then nodded. Link walked out of the office and looked at the bustling Hyrule town. Link made his way over to his hut and sat on his bed. He couldn't stand the thought of getting old. He shifted to his back, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
The next morning Link burst out of bed, quickly got dressed, and ran to the hut next door. He opened the door. There sat a man in leather vest and ripped cloth pants.
"Mordaci I want an apprentice," Link said
"W-why?" Mordaci asked.
"Well, I am getting older and I need an assistant. I could hold tryouts," Link replied.
"If you want to, then O.K.," Mordaci replied.
"Thank you," Link said while running out the door.
He ran to Hyrule stable and walked down to one of the stalls. In the one stall Link faced, stood a beautiful steed. She was brown and had a white diamond on her nose. Link opened the gate and got on his horse.
"Yip, yip, Epona," Link said.
The horse dashed through town central and over the drawbridge. She dashed through Hyrule field and near the Kokiri Forest.
"Stay here, girl," Link demanded in a sweet voice.
Link dashed into the Kokiri forest. It was early in the morning and the people of Kokiri were just getting out of the bed and going outside.
All the people looked the age of 11, but were really older than Link. The Kokiri never get old and have the energy and stamina of a child.
Link jumped up on a stump to make his announcement. All the people gazed at him, especially his friends.
"Hello everybody, it's me, Link," Link said.
The crowd stood in amazement.
"I'm living in Hyrule as one of the lead soldiers, but as you can see I am getting too old. I need to pass my wisdom down to a person with more energy so I have come here. There will be trials Monday through Friday. The winner will be my apprentice and travel and battle with me until ready to become a hero of their own," Link said.
The crowd said nothing and didn't move. None of them even looked like they were thinking.
So Link continued to speak.
"Come to Hyrule and you will find me on the right at the first hut on Monday morning. Bring supplies for five days. I will supply food and accommodations. Thank you," Link said in a gloomy voice.
Link walked out of the forest. The Kokiri went back to work.
Link got on his horse and rode back to Hyrule.
