Good morning, faithful readers! It's almost 2 A.M. as I'm posting this. I wish I was sleeping, but a writer cannot sleep until her work is done. It's such a curse. So, I'm not totally sure if this one is any good. These will probably be half-boring, because it's partly a frustrated retelling of Link's adventures (no pun intended, for those who caught it). But this was SOOO frustrating for me! It took me hours! Everything looks the same so it was very easy to get lost. And that damn hot water cooled down in like four seconds... But the Gibdo's dialogue was entertaining. And their "hints" were so retarded, I loved them. I also wrote the word "Gibdo" enough times that I'm gonna dream about it tonight.

I like that I'm making each "chapter" in a different setting. Makes it diverse. I also love writing the dialogue, it comes so naturally to me. Is it any good to anybody else? I'd like to know.

And, as always, please review, I love reviews. To borrow Ghirahim's words, "It fills my heart with rainbows." (When I saw that in SS I thought I was hallucinating. Spoiler Alert: those are the actual words of the Demon Lord.)

P.S. There might be an occasional present tense. So please bear with that, I'm usually so grammatically correct. Sometimes I just can't catch everything.

Midna loves thee with all her heart-eth! Enjoy as much as the Gibdos will allow. With the help of the Gibdo's Mask of course.


"It's Not Easy Being Link"

"Leeeeave it! Leeeeave it! I bear you no remorse!" Link moaned dramatically.

"What?" Zelda asked, her elegant brow furrowed in deep confusion. She knew her green-clad friend was sometimes a little… off-beat, but he sometimes worried her.

The Hero and the Princess sat out in the Castle's West gardens, the one within walking distance from her chambers. Zelda sat on an elaborate stone bench, her royal legs folded neatly. Link lay on the grass next to her, arms behind his head casually. The tip of his green cap was resting on his nose and he was concentrating very hard on blowing it up in the air. He flicked his head, tossing the cap out of his face, and looked at his blonde friend.

"Well since you asked," he began, and sat up, crossing his legs. Zelda sighed exasperatedly, regretting her interest in his outburst. Here we go again, she thought. Another rant about something stupid, for sure. She rested her chin in her palm, preparing for a long explanation. "You remember when I was in Termina, right? Well, I was on my way to the Stone Tower Temple, but of course, I had to do something pointless and drawn out first. And this pointless endeavor was Beneath the Well, in Ikana Canyon. Oh my Goddesses.

"Ugh, the place was filled with materialistic Gibdos. In order to go through any of the doors, I was forced to give something to a Gibdo that would let them 'pass on.' In the first room, the north Gibdo wanted 'something blue that bestows health;' a Blue Potion. Through that door the northern Gibdo wanted some water, or as he called it, 'H…2…O." Going straight through that next room I found a Gibdo that wanted a 'creepy crawly' bug, and that room lead to a Fairy Fountain. Back through that door, there was a Gibdo that also wanted a bug. Inside that room was just a Purple Rupee.

"I went back through the door and to the previous room. There was a Gibdo in the west that wanted a fish, 'deliciously fresh,' in his words. In that room was a spring of hot water. I took some and raced to the entrance of the Well, so I could give it away before it cooled down. I went to the eastern Gibdo and he wanted a fish. Through that door was, thankfully, a Gibdo to the east that wanted 'something warm that can melt ice and can quench one's spirits.' So the hot water was his. By then I was way past being sick and tired of backtracking and running around like a rabbit.

"Beyond that door was, all of things, a cow! But I figured she was there for a reason so I asked her for some of her milk. I went back into the previous room and the northern Gibdo wanted ten 'refreshing blasts' known as bombs, and behind that door was a Big Poe. I hate those things; they're the reason why I'm still afraid of the dark. Anyway I captured it in a Bottle, you know, just in case. All the way back in the first room is where I went next, where there was an eastern Gibdo that wanted 'something delicious to chomp on, sprouts when watered, and preferably five of them. So five Magic Beans.

"In that room was an eastern Gibdo that wanted ten Deku Nuts, or in his words, 'ten blinding flashes.' Through that door was a Gibdo that wanted a fish. After walking through the very long hallway of this room was a Gibdo that wanted a 'big ghost,' so naturally I gave him the scary Poe. Luckily I had bottled it earlier. All that was in there is another Purple Rupee. Leaving the Deku Nut room, the other Gibdo to the north wanted a bug. In that room was a calcium-deprived Gibdo, so I gave him the 'calcium rich' milk from the cow I met earlier.

"Through that door was a light filled room. I felt like the Goddesses had spared me from wasting away in that horrid excuse for a mini-dungeon. It was so dark and dank and everything looked the same! It was terrible!" Link finished and lay back down, draping an arm over his eyes like it was a traumatizing experience.

"Wow. That seems like loads of fun," Zelda said dryly, suppressing a yawn. "Seems like a maze, it must have taken days."

"Well that was the thing; I only had three days, so I had to hurry it up. I only had one chance. No way was I going to do that again." Link paused for a moment, possibly still reminiscing. "It's hard being the Hero when I have to go out of my way to get to where I'm going!"

"So what does 'leave it' and 'bear you no remorse' have to do with anything?" Zelda asked, still puzzled.

"Oh, 'leave it' is what they said to me whenever they wanted something. And when I gave it to them, they 'bore me no remorse.' It was really weird!" Link said. There was a short pause before the Princess spoke.

"Wait," Zelda said thoughtfully. "You're still afraid of the dark? That's pathetic! Especially for the legendary Hero of Time!" she laughed at the hero, causing Link's ears to droop sadly.

"Well, excuse me, Princess!" Link snapped, an edge of playfulness to his voice. "Not everyone lives in royalty, where you can pay your servants to be scared for you!" He kicked his legs into the air, and as afterthought, added with a smile, "It's not easy being Link."


Eh? Eh? Bien? Non? Okay, English now. I thought it was pretty good for being spontaneous. Did you? I love constructive criticism! I like their characters. Link afraid of the dark... as if. Pffft...

Anyway, I would more than love reviews, comments, and most importantly, more ideas for this, as well as my other unfinished stories. I've been using walkthroughs to clarify my accuracy, so I think these have been pretty decent with their order and all that. When I feel like it, I'm gonna do the Triforce Charts next, I think.

I'm slowly but surely writing another one, a love story. Won't tell you the pairing. Look out for it!

Oh and for those of you that LOLed at the "Excuse me, Princess!" (whether out loud or in your head) I love you all the most and you're all my favorites!

Anyway, lemme do this right... *clears throat* "Leeeeave it! Leeeeave it! Leeeeave me something that will fill my heart with rainbows! *You: Opens Item SubScreen, and equips "Super Awesome Review for Midna" to a C-button (or X, Y, or Z for GameCubers), then gives it to me* Thissss! Thissss! I bear you no remorse! *disintegrates away happily*

If you want that completely true prophecy to happen, and have me move on to the next world without a regret, then do that! Thank you, Midna loves you so muches! And leeeeave it!
