Yah... Got kind of excited and had to post the next chapter up. I love the idea I came up with for this.
No. I do not have any affiliation with Nintendo.
So don't think I do.
Because I don't.
Chapter 2. Lost in Hope
The sunlight streaked through the leaves of the trees. The light shone through the collection of tree trunks. The light glared through the window of her cabin. The light made her face glow. She felt the warmth of it on her skin and smiled.
She woke up gently to the sound of birds chirping and a breeze through the empty window frame. She got up and looked in the mirror.
"Ooh," Zelda said to herself looking at her reflection. "That is some hair." Her shimmering locks were in every direction. She had no idea what time it was but she did know that, "It's time for a bath."
She walked out of the cabin, in her tattered pyjamas, carrying a towel. She sauntered down a slope of a hill and to a warm spring she used as a bathing ground. Still secluded. She could be the only person in the goddesses' entire world to have seen this spring and she loved that.
Zelda walked up to the water, looked at her reflection and deep into her own falsely crimson eyes.
She looked around even though she knew she was isolated, being the shy and conservative royal she is. Seeing that she was obviously alone she slipped gracefully out of her clothes, left them on the bank of the spring and stepped into the water. It warmed her and made her feel relaxed.
She cleaned herself in the water and felt her body ease. She dipped her head under the water and opened her eyes, seeing the crystal clear fluid in the spring. She could see the edge of the spring as cleanly as possible. She came out of the water and regained her breath.
She finishes up and ascends out of the water. She wraps herself in the towel and walks, barefooted on the clean forest floor. She walked back into her open cabin and got dressed. She felt fresh again.
Then her thoughts turned to Link. She sat on the end of her bed and her mind ran around the idea of that man. Her knight in shining armour. Well… He didn't really have armour… but he still shined in her eyes. She then made a sudden realization.
'He's going to be coming through here…" She remembered that Link would have to come through the woods on his way to the first temple. She had a chance to see him again. She brushed her hair quickly and took another look at herself in the mirror and saw her regular clothes.
"Aw…" She commented out loud. "I have to change again."

Link walked through the woods that he thought were familiar to him.
"So much has changed…" Link pointed out to Navi.
"I know… It's quite threatening. We don't even have Saria's song to guide us this time." She stated. She flew up higher above the tree line to look ahead.
"I'll keep looking around!" Link shouted to her, "Find me if you see anything!" He heard her say something in response but he couldn't make it out due to the frailty of her voice.
Link was most defiantly lost. The woods definitely lived up to their name. Every time he thought he knew where to go, he realized he circled. He was more lost than he had ever been before. He even came upon some sort of hot spring full of clear water. He dipped his hand in and splashed some on his sweaty face.
"I'm lost." Link admitted to himself. "Navi!" He shouted up into the air. Quickly he heard a twinkle as it grew closer from above. The ball of pale blue light hovered in front of him.
"Yes Link? Did you find something?" She asked curiously. She floated over to the spring. "It's very pretty but I don't think it's the temple…"
"No you stupid fairy." Link teased. He pointed up to the sky, "It's getting late. We need to find shelter."
The fairy agreed. She floated above him as the walked away from the spring. Just then there was a flash coming from a few hundred yards. Link ran towards it. Navi didn't know why he was running. But Link did. He had seen that flash the day before. He knew exactly what it was and he wasn't going to miss his opportunity to see her again. They arrived at a cabin, and to Link's dismay, it was empty. Link walked into the open door and noticed that it was obviously being used. So he sat in a chair, and breathed a deep sigh.
"What are you doing?" Navi enquired. "We can't stay here! It clearly belongs to somebody!"
"Well we have to. We have nowhere else to go and we need shelter. We stay. That's final." Link stated matter-a-factly.
"Fine." Navi huffed. "But I don't like it." She floated over to a small piece of cloth on top of a dresser and lied down. Her light quickly dimmed as she fell asleep.
Link didn't sleep however. He was tired, but stayed vigilant. Waiting for the flash of the light again. He was going to wait for her until she returned so he could hold her again. He knew she was here. He could sense it. He stayed in the chair just staring out the door.
He thought he could hear the soothing hum of a calming music through the trees that reminded him of home. The sounds wafted through his ears and made him smile for a very long time.

There was a bright flash in a clear meadow outside the forest temple.
Sheik stood in the place where the glare of the light appeared. She blew the bangs off of her forehead to no effect. She looked around and saw that the guardian at the bottom of the stairs was still there.
"Okay, he hasn't been through yet." She hopped up onto a tree branch. She sat on it leaning her back on the trunk of the tree. She waited for hours. She waited so long it started to get dark but she wouldn't sleep. If she slept she'd miss him. To keep herself awake she reached into her bag and pulled out her harp. She played a soothing melody that wafted its way through the trees...
