"You really think you can fight off enemies with that bag of yours, boy?" Navi questioned Link as he stepped towards the tree. For a moment he looked down at his bag; blushing from embarrassment. He had forgotten that he actually had to fight...
The boy searched the area for anything that could be useful. Just as he was doing so, he spotted an old wooden chest resting beside the tree. How could he have missed that one? Hastily, Link opened up the chest and pulled out a sword and a strange wooden Deku Shield.
It was a rather odd feeling for him to be holding the ancient weapon - for he had no training in using a sword at all. The teenaged boy almost felt as if he were becoming more like his ancestors in a way - as if they were guiding him along the beginning of his journey...
He hoped that it didn't take much to get used to wielding a sword, because he knew for sure there would be many enemies he would have to battle inside the Deku Tree. Link then awkwardly stumbled over to the entrance; sweaty palms gripping the heavy weapon.
"This guy should be easy..." the child's fairy said to him as she saw an enemy up ahead that Link clearly did not know of until he was standing right over it.
How long would this take him? Were his parents worrying about him? These were the questions that came to his young mind as he frantically attempted to slay a massive Deku Baba that shot up straight from the ground directly beneath him. The plant managed to wrap itself around Link's leg and pull him, with fierce strength, to the ground; the boy falling face flat. Blood spurted from his nostrils as his heart raced; glancing down at a nasty wound from the beast's bite. This wasn't as easy as Navi said it was. How would he even make it in here if he could not kill the easiest enemy?
Then, all of the sudden, Link saw the goddess of courage, Farore, sitting down beside his body. She stroked his cheek, the way a mother would, and placed a kiss on the boy's cheek.
"You are brave, you are strong... Much like your many ancestors. Link, you are the chosen one. Now stand up and take down your enemy." Farore whispered to the blonde as she gazed into his blue eyes. Within moments, she was gone and Link was back up on his feet; destroying the Deku Baba. He then finally managed to kill it, along with many others of its kind. it was not until he spotted an intimidating Skulltula that he grew nervous again.
"Look! Over here!" Navi barked as she scratched at a treasure chest. A smile came to the boy's face, just as his ancestors once did in the face of danger, and he opened it - pulling out a slingshot. It was a little damaged, so he had to fix it up a bit before approaching the Skulltulas fully. He found a few Deku seeds lying around and aimed them at the spider-like monsters - killing them all instantly.
His heart pounded, this time because he was excited for the adventures ahead of him, and he bravely took out his sword; unsure of how to kill the Giant Skulltula in front of him. The beast caught him off guard and knocked him into the wall viciously. Link let out a heavy groan as he tried his hardest to get back up; infected by the poison from the Skulltula. He lazily thrusted his sword at the soft belly of the animal and watched as it fell of the ledge - dead. He too fell off the ledge since the poison was beginning to get to his brain and broke through the web in the center of the Deku Tree.
Back at Link's home, his Kokiri parents paced around the house anxiously - calling all of their neighbors and notifying everyone that they could of their child's disappearance. The boy's mother and father then drove down to the local police station with pictures of him and things of his that they could use to identify him.
"Please find my boy... I can't live without him!" the mother desperately shouted in the nearly empty police station. She then added, "I bet it was that girl.. Saria..." scowling as she thought of her adoptive son's dearest friend who had gone missing as well. She feared the day that Saria would lead Link away from his home and out into the woods - to live their lives like the ancient Kokiri. She had expected it to come some day, since Saria in particular took interest in the lives of her ancestors.
"Do you think he found out?" the father whispered to his wife, referring to the fact that he was adopted. The woman did not reply, but she stared ahead grimly - considering the fact that he indeed could have.
A weary-eyed and dangerously overweight police officer looked over the pictures of the boy's face; squinting at them as if he were trying to keep them in his memory even though it was quite obvious that he wasn't that passionate about his job.
"Mmmkay... We'll take a couple cars out ma'am, but I'm 'fraid thats all we can do here..." he said with a drowsy yawn as he stepped out of the building and slowly drove away while Link lay unconscious in the water that was in the basement floor of the Deku Tree.
