Hello once again to everybody who's been reading The Legend of the Adventures of Hyrule Warriors! I hope you guys who were reading were very satisfied with the first chapter, I know I was very satisfied with how the last chapter ended up. From now on I hope the series will only get better and better with the many, many things to come in the following chapters! So now, chapter 2!
"Things only got worse and worse. After the very successful defeat of the dark forces, well it wasn't too 'successful' in my opinion. Things were sort of fine today until that battle no one expected and most didn't even know about. It was the worst experience ever, the view, the pain and the thought of the strength of the dark forces. They were powerful and caught everyone off by surprise but we managed to win even though they had king dodongo on their side, 'we' still won. After that painful battle, that 'we' became smaller. Apollo, Jet. My two best friends, are now mysteriously missing in action after the defeat of king dodongo. I should have been careful, I wish that weird puff of smoke after king dodongo's defeat wasn't so abnormally large," thought Link angry, in pain.
After the defeat of Kind dodongo, the troops of the dark forces suddenly vanished, leaving Hyrule field to be kept as territory of Hyrule. The field quickly became empty of soldiers as they had all went back to Hyrule to celebrate their miraculous victory. The field was empty with the exception of Link, as everyone left, Link stayed searching for his two lost friends. Link did not give up hope in finding them, he knew it was impossible for them to suddenly vanish, they were right next to him, like they always had been, together, the three of them, forever.
Link's search for Apollo and Jet ended up being none stop, he kept searching for hours after the battle. He checked every area, every corner, even in the patches of grass and even blew up the big rocks just in case. Link had checked all of Hyrule field and nothing. The captains were even commanded by Zelda herself to see if Apollo and Jet were among the trainees, but nothing. They were nowhere in Hyrule.
As Link was continuing his search through Hyrule field, even though it was hopeless. The sun was setting. Link was now running for over five hours all over Hyrule to find his friends. Things now seemed hopeless. Link was now processing everything that has happened and all the possibilities, by now he had no energy to continue with all the battle injuries and the heat. With all his might he tried to continue but he soon dropped to the ground as the sun was starting to set. As he was now falling unconscious, Link thought it was a lost cause, but there was still one thing left a mystery.
"That voice," thought Link as he soon fell unconscious...
The Legend of the Adventures of Hyrule Warriors
Chapter 2: The Start of a new Destiny
It was hard to tell what time it was. After Link had fallen unconscious, he had awoken back in Hyrule castle but in a medical building for the army. The room Link was in was much fancier since he had some of the worst injuries of all the other soldiers. He was in a bed that was at the end of the room and on the wall behind him was the single window in the room, the curtains were barely open and only a glimmer of light came in. The only sounds he could hear were the other Hyrulian soldiers coughing and the quick footsteps of the many doctors checking after the patients, but there was one more sound he couldn't identify. It was near by and sounded like a snoring sound, it couldn't be Link since he was the only one in the room and awake. With a lot of effort, Link was able to reach out to further open the curtains to lighten up the room. When the light shown, the room was much clearer and visible. The source of the snoring sound was now clear. It was princess Zelda, sleeping in a cushioned chair right next to Link's bed, it looked as if she was waiting for something! Link was completely puzzled to why princess Zelda was here of all places!
Link thought of one reason why. It could be because their destines are now intertwined because of owning the triforce of courage. Since it so turns out that he was the chosen hero like from all the legends he's heard around Hyrule. This was a great honor for Link, even knowing this, he still felt a little awkward with Zelda sleeping in a chair next to him.
Many long minutes passed, as awkward silence covered the room but to only be disrupted by Zelda now softly snoring. Link soon decided to get out of the room and check on everyone else, as he lifted his bed sheets, he started to really feel the pain again that hadn't fully healed. It took him a bit of time but he was soon feeling ready to start walking again. He looked at himself before getting up and saw that the top half of his body was patched and wrapped in bandages and on top, he was wearing white clothing that was light and soft, which wasn't his trainee outfit.
"Uh, eh," yawned Zelda as she suddenly woke up. "Oh Link, y-you finally woke up! Some guards found you lying unconscious on the ground in Hyrule field, I'm just glad you're alright," said Zelda shocked but relieved."You've been sleeping since yesterday evening a-and I've been watching you seen then," said Zelda slightly embarrassed.
Link nodded happily, giving a nice smile too. He then got off his bed and slowly started to head off to the door.
"Oh wait, let me and my bodyguard Impa escort you out," offered Zelda.
Link soon walked out the room slightly struggling, Zelda opened the door for him and Impa was waiting for them right outside.
"Princess Zelda, Link, I'm sorry to interrupt but we have an important matter at hand that we immediately need discuss," requested Impa.
"Yes, of course," agreed Zelda.
Link was now walking with Zelda and Impa, side by side, going somewhere. He didn't know where they were off to and it was something important but a private discussion. As the three of them walked through the medical building, peopled constantly starred at the group as they passed by with a surprised manner as if they saw a giant poe.
The walk took a very long time, it was difficult for Link to walk with his injuries but Zelda aided Link by putting his arm over her shoulder. The walk brought the group to a large conference room area. The room was a giant, it had a big round table in the middle made of wood with at least a dozen matching chairs around it. Behind the round table were three status for the goddesses in their respective color representing their part of the Triforce around he table. Link, Zelda and Impa took out a chair and sat near each other, to soon begin their discussion.
Impa looked at Link with a serious stare, took a deep breath and said "Link, I know this is a hard question for you but may you please join the Hylian army in war? I know the battle you've just fought and it must have been something incredibly rough for you but Hyrule needs your power to stop the dark forces and without y-"
"Impa, you mustn't put pressure onto Link, he is only part of the trainees so it is not mandatory to fight in a war if he doesn't feel ready yet," calmly interrupted Zelda.
"But we NEED Link's powers of courage to win this war an-" desperately said Impa in distress.
Zelda quickly interrupted Impa and said "Impa, that's enough! The choice of Link fighting in this war is up to him himself and no one else!"
Silence had then quickly filled the room. The decision was now totally up to Link to decide if he was going to fight. The decision should have been simple, 'yes'. Except the pain from the last battle he fought, will every battle be such a close one and will he have to feel the pain again like before? And then, Jet and Apollo, what if something like that happened again? If Link could deny it, he could go back to a very simple life and forget about this ever happening and leave the Hyrulian army to fight the war, relax and stay as a trainee until he becomes a soldier. Then again, saying 'no' could make him feel guiltier than any other person in Hyrule, sacrificing the chance to save Hyrule for the possibility to live peacefully. Living over the same pain, battle to battle, it just felt like something too impossible! Even with the Triforce of courage he wasn't invincible nor was he able to accept the pain. He was destined to be the reborn hero with the Triforce, but is it necessary for him to save Hyrule by himself? This brought Link to the finale answer. Except before he gave his finale answer, he decided to reflect on everything once more.
10 years ago, when Link, Jet and Apollo were kids, they'd always love running around many parts of Hyrule castle, most preferably around the market place where the adults would greet them with a peaceful smile. Most of the times before the day ended, the gang would go to the to center of Hyrule town where a beautiful fountain made white marble laid.
* Flashback *
"Hey, hey guys look up there, that's the building where all the soldiers are," said Jet smiling while pointing to a building in the distance.
"One day, we'll be there," shouted Apollo in excitement.
"We won't just 'be there'," thought Link, "we will become the strongest warriors of Hyrule!"
For Link, thinking about those memories always gave him confidence to move on with his training to become a Hylian soldier. They may have been short but very meaningful. With this, it finalized Link's decision.
Zelda looked at the expression Link had on his face, she knew that his answer had been decided and asked "Link, will you kindly offer us your courage to help out our forces against the evil?"
The decision was finale. Link nodded 'yes'. And so this finale decision would change Link's faith, forever...
"I'm glad to hear that you have decided to accept the start of your new destiny," said Zelda happily.
"Now with that princess Zelda, will you bestow Link a title," said Impa calm and relieved.
"Yes I will, " replied Zelda
Link then got onto one knee, ecstatic to be personally given a title by Zelda!
Zelda was now ready to give Link a title. She took her time to say her speech and in the end bestowed the title 'Warrior' to Link.
"Well I say, 'warrior' hasn't been a title I have ever heard," said Impa in thought.
"Of course, this'll be a new title, bestowed to the one and only legendary hero," said Zelda joyfully.
"Now with this case out of the way, there is still one more problem," quickly said Impa.
"And what may that be," asked Zelda.
"It is about the dark forces we fought yesterday, they weren't normal,"
Hearing this made Link realize it, Impa was right that the enemy forces weren't normal. Thinking about it made Link realize that those red things he was fighting the other day weren't normal what so ever! Usually when an enemy of any dark force were to be defeated, they'd simply disappear except this time, they would turn into a black cloud of smoke.
"This must be the doing of dark magic isn't it," thought Link, disgusted by the thought.
After coming up with an answer, Link quickly explained what he had just thought about to the group.
"Magic you say," questioned Zelda in thought "well, if we are dealing with a case of magic, we can get into contact with great fairy to hopefully locate the user of this dark magic. Except are you sure such powerful magic is possible?"
Impa then in-hesitantly replied "princess, I am also certain it is the use of dark magic because, up until now I denied what I thought but now it has became possibility."
"What do you mean," asked Zelda.
"What we had fought the other day were enemies called red bokobolins, which have been extinct for many centuries," calmly said Impa.
After the meeting. The day had passed by too quickly for Link to remember anything remarkable happening. Everything for him passed by quickly and was leading up for the plan for the next day. Since it was without a doubt dark magic being used, they decided the plan was to ask the great fairy to locate where the red bokobolins where being conjured from. If they knew where to go after that, they'd be able to end the war, before anything more happens.
There was actually one flaw to the plan only Zelda, but only a couple of the other royal family members knew. For a very long time, the great fairy always granted the wishes of the royal family except recently, the great fairy has not appeared and hasn't granted any wishes. Zelda's only hope was to was to let Link use his powers of the triforce to somehow summon the great fairy.
The following day, Zelda personally led Link (Impa was excluded since Zelda considered this mission too personal) to the great fairy's fountain where hopefully they'd be able to get the great fairy's attention for once but this time with using Link. The great fairy's temple was located east of Hyrule, it was fairly nice looking temple made of stone, the interior was what stood out most! There was water gently poring out of the sides of the walls and arches in front of it. Near the end of the room was a fairly large glowing circle with the great fairy's fountain in front of it and for the finishing touches, a blue stain glass window in front of the fountain, it was beautiful and most likely represented Nayru and the Triforce of wisdom!
"Shall we now summon the great fairy," asked Zelda.
Link nodded. Zelda and Link entered the circle, following that, Zelda raised her right hand containing her Triforce piece. The Triforce of wisdom appeared and started glowing.
"You too Link," giggled Zelda playfully.
Link then did so as well. He raised his left hand containing his Triforce of courage. It also appeared and started glowing too, this astonished Link since he wasn't used to his new powers nor has he seen his Triforce piece until now.
A couple seconds had now passed very slowly without anything happening. After about ten seconds, Link and Zelda both lowered their hands, hoping for something else to happen. Except very suddenly the circle started to glow much stronger and a radiated another yellow circle above it but with an odd pattern. Zelda hesitantly backed out of the circle but Link didn't bother to move since he had a feeling something much larger was about to happen. Link's Triforce piece now lit up even more, he then instinctively raised his left hand skywards.
In seconds the great fairy emerged from the small pool of water, she was all happy and laughing while looking down at the glowing circle with her full attention at Link.
"Why hello there my fairy boy," laughed the great fairy while in a lying down position in the air.
This made Link slightly awkward making him backing up a little while looking at the great fairy with an questionable facial expression. Link then got a little calmer but was looking at the great fairy surprised but slightly blushed, this made Zelda feel a little uncomfortable.
With the awkward atmosphere, Zelda asked the great fairy "Excuse me but me and Link come here for you assistance."
"Well, princess Zelda of Hyrule, it's good to see you. I'm glad you are reunited with your 'special one'," said the great fairy as she smiled.
"Excuse me but what do you mean," asked Zelda very confused.
"Well I see you have brought the reborn hero which is what counts most," said the great fairy "and with that, I will aid you on your journey."
"Thank you. We request you aid us by finding out who is the user of the dark magic we had fought against," requested Zelda.
"The dark magic used that battle was quite powerful," stated the great fairy "I will tell you that by going to the going to the Faron Woods, you will find something a little more than your answer."
"We are grateful for your assistance," thanked Zelda.
"Oh wait Link, before you leave, I'll grant you one personal gift for you journey," calmly said the great fairy.
Following what the great fairy said, a small light blue fairy popped out of the fountain from underneath her.
"Why hello there Link," exclaimed the highly zealous fairy.
The great fairy caught here breath and said "Link meet Proxi, she'll be your assistant through-out your adventure!"
"I'll do my best to help you out," ecstatically said Proxi.
"Link, Zelda, I shall be departing now, call me if you ever need help," laughed the great fairy as she started to spin and soon disappear into her pool of water underneath her.
"We will now send troops to Faron Woods," suddenly announced Zelda, determined to get things done quickly.
After that long day, Link was given the rest of the time to rest. Link's injuries from the previous battle still ached a little but were nearly recovered. Link was now laying in bed, resting but most of the time he was mostly looking over a map showing the pathway on how they'll get to Faron Woods instead of sleeping.
"Hey Link what's the plan for tomorrow," asked Proxi in a very impatient tone.
Link presented the map showing the path to Faron Woods. The Faron Woods were directly north of Hyrule castle except getting there with an army was the big problem. They would have to cross many mountains to get to Faron Woods, so that was the biggest challenge so to avoid this, the army would have to take a detour and head to north-east to Eldin Volcano where a path way in the volcano cut through the mountains making it the simplest way of crossing the mountains.
"Hey this looks rather too simple," complained Proxi "Getting through the mountains wouldn't be too much of a problem with an army!"
Link tried to lay deeper in his bed to stay patient and calm from Proxi's constant whining. The further he laid in bed the more and more Proxi's arguments became intolerable and invalid. Except soon Proxi blurted out something that'll stick forever.
"Awwww, geez, this room is too quiet and this plan feels too simple and easy to mess up, hey Link too bad Jet wasn't here to ruin the silence and Apollo to contradict this plan with his logic rig-"
Hearing this out of Proxi made his frustration for her inextinguishable. At that point Link just wanted to get rid of this over zealous nuisance. Except Link knew better and to trust the great fairy for whatever reason of giving him this abomination.
In complete frustration, Link drew the curtains above him, blew out the two candles next to his to bed and pulled his bed sheets above his head.
"Don't you ever mock my friends," thought Link very angrily before sleeping.
Proxi was now hovering over Link, totally baffled onto why he got so easily mad about what she might have said.
"Er, what did I do wrong," thought Proxi stupefied about not being able to comprehend the atmosphere as she soon slept next to Link, sad...
The following morning was just preparation for the journey to Faron Woods. Link stood very quiet, especially around the presence of Proxi and so did she. When only 5 hours had passed, the Hyrulian army was ready to make their way to Faron Woods. Except before leaving, Impa informed Link that princess Zelda wanted to see him!
Link was now entering Zelda's room but she felt a little nervous about giving Link his departing gift but she knew she had to. "Well Link, this will be our departing good-byes, b-but before you go, I'd like to give you something very special," offered Zelda excited but nervous.
With Zelda's very kind offer, Link had to accept it and so he did. It took a bit of time to get it but Zelda got it out of a secret drawer in her night table. It was a beautiful tunic, in green. Link gazed as Zelda handed it to him.
"This is for you Link, this green tunic is the type of clothing the hero has always worn," said Zelda kindly as she looked a Link who was speechless.
"Wow that tunic looks pretty snazy," commented Proxi, but nobody heeded her comment.
Link thanked Zelda dearly but right before he left, Zelda said "w-wait I still have something left!"
Zelda rushed over once again to her night table but this time she picked up a blue scarf that had been laying on her drawer this entire time. The scarf was beautiful like the tunic, it was personally knitted by Zelda herself and had the mark of the Triforce at one end. It even matched with the tunic!
"H-here you go Link," offered Zelda "I personally knitted this scarf, I just finished it yesterday after we left the great fairy's temple. I want you to wear it and represent Hyrule a-and I hope it'll keep you warm."
Link gratefully accepted Zelda's other kind gift. Link immediately tried out the scarf just to show his appreciation, it certainly did feel soft and warm but not just that, it also made him feel honored to be a fine soldier of the Hyrulian army!
"Well, look at Link getting all fancy," rudely interrupted Proxi, but once again, no one heeded her unnecessary comment.
Link soon went to rejoin with the rest of the army, now wearing the green tunic and scarf. Before the army left, Link stood in front of everyone, with his left hand in the air, showing the light of the Triforce of courage, demonstrating hope for the upcoming battles to Faron Woods.
Well, I guess this'll conclude the 2nd chapter! I could have continued MUCH further into the story this chapter, but I felt like it was needed to end it here since it also had a pretty nice ending. Anyways the next chapter might be as equally long as this one. Hopefully I can upload the next chapter sooner. I'm deeply sorry for updating this late. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, and see you guys in the 3rd chapter of The Legend of the Adventures of Hyrule Warriors!
P.S I find it funny how I wrote at the top, before the chapter started, I said 'I hope the series will only get better and better' but the when the intro started, link just immediately says "things only got worse and worse!" :P
