A Link to the Future:

Chapter 3

It took most of the next day for Link to find Rauru. He checked every ally and place he could think of that a shady guy like him would hide. The truth was he found him at the Comic Convention. He was playing with what looked like the new Wii U that Nintendo had just released.

"Oh hello Link," he said. "Why have you come looking for me?"

"Stop all the stuff that has been happening to me! The Tunic and all the embarrassment!"

"It is not I who causes all of this. It is that," he said, pointing at the triangle tattoo on Link's hand.

"This!" he said. "This is a tattoo that my dad put on me when I was two!"

Rauru let go of the game tablet and turn around. "That is not a tattoo; your mother lied to you because she did not want you to have this life. That mark on your hand is the mark of the Triforce, the relic that was left when the Golden Goddess of Hyrule left this world. And you Link, are the possessor of the Triforce of Courage."

Link rolled his eyes. He remembered some of this from the video game walkthrough books that his dad had left at the apartment. He still didn't believe any of this crap that the old man was saying.

"Meet me at the roof of your apartment building at six tonight," Rauru said. 'And make sure you finish this book by then."

He tossed Link a book that size of 3 encyclopedias. The cover said, "A Dummies Guide to the Legend of Zelda. "Great more work," he said but when he looked up the old man was gone.

It took Link most of the day to finish the book, but by six he was on Chapter 25: The Golden Goddess of Hyrule. He left the book on his bed and headed up to the roof.

When he got there, the old man was standing there with four other figures that Link could not make out. He stopped about 5 feet from them and cleared his throat.

"Ah, you have come Link," Rauru said and turned with the other four figures. One was a small girl who looked as is she were six years old. The next had sandy colored skin and was built like a WWE wrestler. The last two were women one with white hair and a dagger in one hand the other dark skinned and was wearing what looked like a Middle East garment.

"These are the other four sages of the Sacred Realm, Saria the Sage of the Forest, Darunia the Sage of Fire, Impa the Sage of Shadow, and Nabooru the Sage of the Spirit. I am as I told you before the Sage of Light."

Link thought back to the book he had read. "But there are six sages, where is the Sage of Water?"

The sage looked down and the ground and a cold wind flew past. "Ruto was killed by Ganondorf the Leader of the Gerudo. We have searched the whole underworld for her soul but have not found a trace of it."

Link pointed at Nabooru. "But she is a Gerudo if I remember, so shouldn't she be punished for Ruto's death?"

Nabooru pulled out what looked like a mean looking tulwars. "If you also remember I hated Ganondorf and helped the Hero of Time stop his evil reign."

Link took a step back. He could tell that this women was dangerous. He would try not to make here mad in the future.

"What we need from you is to become the next hero. Please touch the Triforce on your hand," Rauru said.

Link looked at the symbol on his hand. He had touched it before and nothing had happened. Why would it happen this time? He raised his finger and pressed on the Triforce.

A bright flash came, and blinded him. Images flashed by of a young boy fight a huge spider, Gohma is what she was called, and then of the boy pulling a blue sword out of a pedestal. An older looking boy still in green was fighting two witches, and then fighting a man with a Triforce symbol on his hand as well. Then he was back on the roof.

The five sages gasped in awe. "I didn't think it would work," said Impa. "It is him," said Nabooru. "Brother," said Darunia a tear rolling down his cheek. "Link?" asked Saria, a tear also rolling down hers.

"What said Link, looking the in the window to the door that he had taken to get up here. He gasped as well. He was a totally different person. He had long golden hair, the green tunic on, and a sword rested on his back as well as a shield. In his pockets he could feel different items hitting his sides. "What happened?" he asked looking at Rauru.

"You have used your ability," he said, "You have taken control of the Hero of Time's soul. All hail Link the Hero of Time!"
