AN: Hi everyone! *Smiles*
Silent Winter Lullaby here! I'd just like to let you all know while this isn't my first story, it is my first fanfic (to be published here). Please let me know what you think of it!
Disclamer: If I owned Legend of Zelda, I'd already have an anime of the Zelda series going.
"Legend speaks of a hero, whom pulled the four sword and split himself into four in order to defeat the wind demon Vaati. But that, of course, is the old legend.
The new legend is quite similar, but instead of four there were five heroes. But the fifth hero wasn't always a hero; he was a villain whom, after some time, came to realize he was more than just a villain; he was one of the four, I mean five, heroes. After that realization he sacrificed himself in order to defeat the wind demon, Vaati, and save the other Links, only to have the evil behind Vaati, Ganon, show himself. But the four heroes teamed up with Princess Zelda, and together they quickly defeated the dark king by sealing him inside the four sword. And all of Hyrule was at peace once more."
It had been three years to the day the five heroes saved Hyrule from being completely covered in darkness and sealed away ganon in the four sword.
Princess Zelda was up on a small stage used for stories and puppet shows in the middle of castle town, enjoying the festival that celebrated the five heroes as she told the story of the five heroes to the children of Castle Town as she did every year.
"Yay!" One child shouted as he put his arms in the air.
"That story is soooo cool!" Another grinned.
Zelda loved to make the children happy. Even though they always would demand she tell the story multiple times, every year.
"Um, I have a question" A little girl said raising her hand.
"Yes?" Zelda asked as she stepped off of the stage.
"What were the heroes' names?" The girl questioned.
"Yeah, and what were they like?"
"I bet they were tough and reallllly strong!"
"We are strong. Well, I mean I'm strong!"
The children all turned around and saw the hero, Link, and gasped. "Yay! Its Link!" They cheered and Link blushed at the sudden attention.
"Tee-hee. Hi Link." Zelda smiled.
"Hi Zelda!" Link grinned "You ready?"
"Almost." She smiled.
Every year after Zelda told the story, they'd go play some games and win a couple prizes.
"Um, Mr. Link?" The little girl from before asked. Link looked down at her.
"Hm?"
"Tell us about the other heroes" She asked with big, pleading eyes.
"Pleeease?" Another begged.
"Yeah!" One more chimed in.
Link sighed. "Oh alright. Well, their names were Blue, Red, Vio and Shadow. Blue was strong, yet hotheaded, Red was kind, yet childish, Vio was distant, yet clever, and Shadow was evil at first, but only because he was tired of being ignored."
As Link continued on with his story, a girl watched from a distance. "Have your fun now, but soon you'll be cowering in total fear! Hee hee hee!" She laughed.
"And that's the whole story." Link finished now breathless. He had told them everything of his adventures and his comrades.
"Vio sounds so cool!" A little girl smiled.
"Yeah, but Blue's awesome!" A little boy said.
Link turned to Zelda "Can we go now?"
"Yes." She smiled and they left.
As they walked around they came to a Ring toss booth.
"Care ta try yer luck at one'a these prizes?" The man asked as Link and Zelda walked up to it.
"Oh, what a cute little plush cucoo!" Zelda smiled pointing to the aray of prizes in the back.
"I'll it win for sure!" Link smiled determined.
"That'll be five rupees." The man held out his hand as Link paid him. "Alright, here're the rules: You try an' toss a ring around one of 'em pegs." He said as he handed Link five rings. "If ya get three or more, ya win. Got it?"
"Yup." Link answered. He tossed the first one and easily looped it around a peg.
"Beginner's luck." The man scoffed but soon had his jaw on the ground as Link had thrown the next two just as perfectly. Afraid Link would make his game seem boringly easy, he decided to change the rules a bit.
"Alright kid. I'm gonna make ya a deal. If ya can hit the furthest back peg with this," He brought out a ring that was twice as small as the rest, "Then ya can have three prizes. Whadda ya say?"
"You can do it! I know you can!" Zelda cheered him on.
"I can do it." Link said confidently as he took the ring.
"Kid, there's no way ya can get this one!" He crossed his arms as Link tossed it. Wha?" His jaw once again hit the ground and he just stared at the ring looped around the furthest peg.
"I'd like that one, that one, and that one" Link pointed out the prizes. The man's eye twitched in anger as he handed Link the prizes.
Six hours and many prizes later
The day was almost over, and as the festival was coming to an end, it was almost time for the fireworks show to begin.
"Link, let's find a spot to watch the fireworks." Princess Zelda suggested.
"Okay." He smiled at her as they went to go find a place to sit; unaware they had been watched the entire day.
"How boring!" A girl with silver hair complained for the umpteenth time that day. The grey cloak she wore hid her face but you could still see her light violet eyes.
"It's almost time. You ready?" She looked to her shoulder, where a white dragon with a dark gray belly and blue eyes sat. It nodded its head and the girl grinned maliciously.
"Let's go!"
Link and Zelda were sitting on a small hill just outside of Castle Town, since the fireworks had to be lit outside of town. "Oh! Look Link, a blue one!" Zelda shouted happily.
"I see. Wow!" Link smiled amazed. Everything was going well, until...
"Aahhhh!" People screamed as a firework went up, then straight down into the audience and was engulfed in a blue flame.
"Run!" Someone yelled. Soon everyone was running in a frenzied panic. Link stood up and unsheathed his sword.
"Princess! Stay here!" He said and ran over to where the blazing firework landed. The ground was covered in blue fire.
"I've been waiting for you." A girl's voice said from inside the flames.
What Link saw shocked him; a girl was completely consumed by flames. Link readied his sword.
"There's no need to fight, moron." she mocked him. Link lowered his sword.
"I'm only here to deliver a message to the hero: Your time of peace shall soon come to an end! Be ready when the time comes!"
"Wait! Who are you? And who sent that message?" He demanded. Before he could ask any more questions, the girl giggled and backed up. "Be ready, hero" She said before vanishing into the flames...
Ooh... Who is this girl?
Who sent her?
...Who stole the cookies? *points to empty cookie jar*
