Light's PoV.

After agreeing to help Malon, me and link walked towards Hyrule castle. As we walked there I noticed some sturdy looking vines on the wall and made a mental note about it for later use. We walked around a corner and noticed a locked gate and a guard.

"Wait," I said to link "I don't think we should try and go that way, let's try to go around or over."

"How would we go over?" Link asked me.

"I saw some vines just back around the corner, let's try and use those, but I think we should wait for the cover of night before we move forward some more." I said.

"Why not now, we'll waste less time this way?" he asked a little confused.

"The night will be best to move because it'll be easier to stick to the shadows that way and they won't notice, though, we will have to be quieter at night." I said.

"Okay fine, I can see the benefits of that, but Navi's light will attract guards' attention during the night." Link told me and I had to pause and think about this.

"Hmm, okay, we can go now, but we'll have to be fast and pay attention to the guards to make sure they don't get us." I said as we started to climb the vines. I quickly scoped the land from where I was at and saw guards were positioned along a couple of places along the road, but the field in front of the castle was empty, there also happened to be a blind spot between two guards that lead into the field. "Follow me," I said and I jumped and rolled down onto the other side of the gate. I bent my knees and leant forward somewhat so that I was closer to the ground than before and slowly walked forward. I heard link land and slowly start walking in my direction. Our tunics matched the grass perfectly; I found this out after a guard looked in our direction and after a few tense moments he looked away, after that me and link were out of earshot so we ran to the far end of the outer wall of the castle. There were some loose stones along the wall to our right, the wall was in front of us that was meant to keep outsiders out of the castle, and a small stream past that. "Do you have any ideas?" I asked him.

He looked around and looked at the wall and it's as if a lantern had gone off in his head. He walked towards it and pulled out the loose stones and in their place were some hand and foot holds, and as he climbed up he took out more loose stones and went about making it easier for me. When he was up he said "This goes straight over to the other side of the wall."

I nodded and climbed up the wall to meet him just in time for him to jump off the wall and into the small mote. I looked down and shrugged and jumped in after him, and now am I glad that we didn't wait for night because the water was cold right now, it would probably be even worse at night. The water a current to it and it dragged me and Link along with it and we got out of the water at a small amount of land at a bend. We climbed up and out of the water and onto a path, we were just a little ways away from the proper gate, so we quietly walked past them and towards a tower with a door on it. Just on the other side of the mote was a place where water came from the inside of the castle, and on our side of the mote in between the tower and us was a larger man and some Crates that said Lon Lon Ranch Milk. I then remembered Malon said that her dad was on a delivery, I guess this must be her dad, but there was a problem, the man was asleep. I went up to him and said "umm, mister? I think your daughter might be waiting for you." He was not a light sleeper. I shrugged and shook him some and he awoke with a start.

"Who are you?" he asked me.

"I'm light, this is Link," I gestured behind me "And do you happen to Malon's Father?" I asked him.

"Yes, my name is Talon, and why do you ask?" he question me.

"Malon was in Castle Town looking for you." I said and his eyes grew wide. He got up faster than I thought possible for him and started running to Castle Town while flailing and shouting something about upsetting Malon.

"That was strange." Said Link, and I couldn't help but nod.

I looked back to the place where the water was pouring from and to the Crates next to me and Link and formed an Idea, I pushed the boxes and formed something to use to jump across and to the water and into the Castle. When I landed on the other side I gestured for Link to jump across as I started to crawl through the hole. I heard a small splash showing that Link had followed and some swishing indicating that he was following me. We came out and into an outdoors area. We walked across the area and heard a guard walking and waited for him to move before we dashed across and into the next area. And when we got there we saw that the guards were on the other side of the fountains so we ran across and on top of the scaffolding because the guard was walking around quickly and somewhat erratically. I peeked around the corner of the wall in front of us and saw that there were two guards walking around. After a little bit there was an opening for us to walk behind the guard in front of us and we took it and walked into the next part just barely made it past the guards that were posted there. The two guards that were in front of us were walking almost right on top of each other and it gave us the perfect opening to run through and into a small courtyard.

I young girl was looking into a window and was saying something to herself. When me and Link walked close to her she spun around and said "What! Who are you? How did you get past the guards? Oh, what's that? Is that… a Fairy?! Then are you… are you from the Forest?" Link nodded at her question "Then… then… you wouldn't happen to have… the Spiritual Stone of the Forest, would you?! That green shining stone… Do you have it?" she asked us.

"Yes we do have it." Responded Link.

"Just as I thought!" she giggled "I had a dream… In the dream, Dark storm clouds were billowing over the land of Hyrule… But suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the Forest and parted the clouds and lit up the ground… the light turned into a figure holding a green stone, followed by a fairy and protected by a wolf… I know this is a prophecy that someone would come from the forest… Yes, I thought you might be the one. Oh, I'm sorry! I got carried away with my story and didn't even properly introduce myself! I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. What are your names?" she asked us

"Link,"

"Light,"

"….. Link, Light… strange… it sounds somehow… familiar. Okay then Link, Light, I'm going to tell you the secret of the Sacred Realm that has been passed down by the Royal Family of Hyrule. Please keep this a secret from everyone…" she said to us.

Link smiled and said "Sure thing Zelda."

She smiled back at him and said "The Legend goes like this. The three Goddesses hid the Triforce which contained the power of the gods somewhere in Hyrule. The power to grant the wish of whoever holds it in his hands. If someone with a righteous heart makes a wish it will lead Hyrule into a Golden age of Prosperity… If someone with an evil mind has his wish granted, the world will be consumed by evil… that is what has been foretold… So, the Ancient Sages built the Temple of Time to protect the Triforce from Evil ones. That's right… the Temple of Time is the entrance through which you can enter the Sacred realm through our world. But the entrance is sealed with a stone wall called the Door of Time. And in order to open it you need to gather the three Spiritual Stones. And another thing you need is a thing that is kept by the Royal Family and is thought Legend… The Ocarina of Time! Do you understand what I just said?" she asked us, we both nodded. She smiled and said "That's great, I forgot to tell you… I was spying through this window just now… the other element in my Dream… the Dark Clouds… I believe they symbolize… that man in there!" We looked through the window and saw two guards and… no, it can't be… Ganondorf, kneeling, before someone in the hallway. "Do you see the man, with the evil eyes? That is Ganondorf, leader of the Gerudos. They hail from the desert far to the west. Though he swears allegiance to my father, I am sure he is not sincere. The dark clouds that covered my dream… they must symbolize that man!" and at this point Ganondorf looked over at us. "What happened? Did he see you?" Link nodded "Don't worry. He doesn't have any Idea what we're planning… yet!... Yes, I told my Father about my dream… however, he didn't believe it a prophecy… But… I can sense that man's evil intentions! What Ganondorf must be after must be nothing less than the Triforce of the Sacred Realm. He must have come to Hyrule to obtain it! He wants to conquer Hyrule… no, the entire world! Link, Light, we are the only ones who can protect Hyrule! Please!"

"Yes Zelda, we'll do all that we can to help!" Link assured her while resting a hand on her shoulder and smiling at her.

She smiled back at him and said "Thank you! I… I am afraid… I have a feeling that man is going to destroy Hyrule. He has such terrifying power! But it's fortunate you have come… You must not let Ganondorf get the Triforce! I will protect the Ocarina of Time with all my power! He shall not have it! You must go find the other Two Spiritual stones. Let's get the Triforce before Ganondorf and then defeat him! One more thing… Take this letter… I'm sure it will be helpful to you." As she said this she signed a letter and gave it to Link.

"Thank you." Link said and started to walk away.

As we were walking I noticed a person standing in our way. "I am Impa of the Sheikah. I am responsible for protecting Princess Zelda. Everything is exactly as the Princess said. You are some Courageous boys… you are heading out on a big, new adventure, aren't you? My role in the Princess's dreams was to teach the melody to the one from the Forest. This is an ancient melody passed down by the Royal Family. I have played this song for Princess Zelda as a Lullaby ever since she was a baby… there is a mysterious power in these notes. Now listen carefully…" she then whistled a tune and was copied perfectly by Link. "If the Castle Soldiers find you, there will be trouble, let me lead you out of the Castle."

With that said she spun around and started to lead us towards that front of the castle. We walked past the occasional guard and they all looked at us with sympathy, all of them thinking we had gotten Impa mad. When we were out of the castle she kept walking through Castle town and led us past the drawbridge.

"You brave Lads… we must protect this beautiful land of Hyrule! Take a good look at that mountain, that is Death Mountain and where you will find the Spiritual stone of Fire, which is held by the Gorons. At the foot of Death Mountain you will find my Village, Kakariko. That is where I was born and raised. You should talk to some of the Villagers there before you go up Death Mountain. The song I taught you is powerful because only members of the Royal Family are allowed to learn. Remember it, for it will prove your connection to the Royal Family. The Princess is waiting for your Return with the Spiritual Stones. All right! We're counting on you!" and with that she through down a flash bomb and disappeared.

"Okay, let's head to Kakariko Village." I said before I looked around "In the morning." I hadn't relised how long we had been there, but the sun was now setting. "Let's go find the Inn to stay for tonight." Link nodded at me and we walked into Castle Town as the Drawbridge went up behind us.

(A/N: Sorry that this Chapter was mostly Transition, but that's all that I could fit and stay on Schedule, so I hope you don't mind, See you next time!)
