Chapter 4: The Wanderings
"Hu..Hu..Hu.." link puffed. "I think they're gone." Link assured himself. "Man, I'm just going to sit." Link rambled as he sat down on the bridge between the tunnels.
"I thought you would come here." Whispered Saria.
"Why do they hate me? Why don't they understand? Why won't they listen?" Link questioned.
"Because you are different. Link, I wanted to tell you something."
"What?"
"Advice, Link get out of here. You do not belong. Search and tread where you want, freely!" Saria advised.
"But, this is the only home I know." Link cried
"I know, but I promise you. Your life will be much better without us." Saria pleaded.
"Ok, I'll go. But you must promise me this, you will always be here, in the lost woods of kokiri forest, for me."
"I promise" Saria Pleased.
No more was said. Only the footsteps of link heading towards Hyrule Field could be heard in the misty, unforgiving forest.
As link headed out of Hyrule field, he had no idea of where to go because he had lived in kokiri forest most of his life. He had to think of something but fell asleep and dreamt of his adventure through majora's mask. After finishing that quest, he headed home, his true home, to Kokiri Forest.
"Man, running from a group of children is not only tiring, but also very awkward." Link proclaimed to himself. "I really need to get going… it's getting dark outside." Link groaned as he stood up, wiping the grass off his tunic. "Where to go, where to go, where to go?" Link asked himself.
"I think Lon Lon Ranch is still open. Hmm…" Link wondered as he headed towards the ranch. "Wait, why am I walking?" Link said dumbly as he pulled out his ocarina of time. *Plays Epona's song* "I think I left her at the castle so I say 30-40 seconds… never mind" Link said as Epona came running towards him. "Hiya, girl. Did you miss me? I missed you." Link prattled. "Neigh, neigh!!" Epona whinnied. "Ok, let's head to Lon Lon Ranch.
As soon as they got to Lon Lon Ranch, Malon came running towards them. "Link, how are you? Long time no see!" Malon screamed from several yards away.
"Malon, hi," Link replied happily. "How's your father?"
"He's doing fine, same old dad," Malon complied. "He is still just as lazy."
"That's great!" Link exclaimed. "Can I go see him? I have a favor to ask him." Link requested.
"Sure, follow me." Malon answered.
"LINK!!! My good ole' buddy! How are you?" Talon yelled as Link entered the door.
"Talon! I am doing fine! Why are we yelling?" Link said sarcastically.
"Sorry, Link, I am just so excited you're here!" Talon explained. "This is the first time I have seen you since the castle 'incident'"
"I know, but I have a favor to ask of you." Link said calmly.
"Oh, and what may that be?" Talon responded
"I was wondering… well see… Can I stay here for a little while?" Link asked nervously.
"Of course you can… But now I have a question for you." Talon twisted the question.
"What?" Link said relived
"What bring you here, Forest Man?" Talon questioned cockily.
"Hey! Don't I get a say in this?" Ingo interrupted.
"No! This is none of your business." Talon growled.
"Humph!" Ingo puffed as he ran out of the house, towards the barn.
"Jerk," Talon said "He doesn't own this ranch"
"I never liked him anyway." Link said
"So are you going to answer my question?" Talon reminded Link
"Oh, yeah well…"
Link told Talon of his recent misfortunes, heart-breaks, and the man who wrecked his life. Talon believed every word Link said. Then Malon came in and said that she had something to give Link.
"Hey, Link… can I talk to you real quick?" Malon requested
"Sure," Link said happily "so… what do you want?"
"Maybe… Here have this," Malon said shyly as she handed Link a box containing a ring. "It was my grandpa's, he never wore it and dad didn't want it, and it holds something magical."
"Cool," Link exclaimed as he tried on the ring, only to find it was too big "dang, it's too…" Link cut off as the ring tightened around his finger. "Wow!?!? How did it do that?" Link yelled startled.
"I told you it was magical," Malon said assuring "Trust me, it won't squeeze your finger off."
"Thanks…" Link said awkwardly.
"No problem, Link" Malon oblivious to Link's sarcasm
Weeks pass… Link decides he has over-stayed his welcome.
"See you guys later" Link said as he headed out of the ranch.
"Bye"
"Bye"
"Good riddance"
And so he found himself in the same position as when he started… lost. So he traveled across Hyrule Field, alone… and cold. He found himself a tree to climb and sleep in, because we all now what happens when it becomes night in Hyrule Field.
He awoke to the sounds of footsteps, soft footsteps. Link grabs his sword and jumps down from the tree to find himself alone, on the ground and being watched.
"Hello?" Link yelled "you can come out now; I am not here to hurt you."
Nothing…
"Hmm?" Link said quietly to himself.
"Who are you" said a strange voice.
"Link, the hero of time." Link replied
"I am Tyran, Enemy of Rasnom." Tyran Explained.
Hey I am excited about this story… R&R.
