This is a challenge brought upon to me by a dear friend over at deviant art.
I like Pirates... But I don't own any. Just like I don't own Zelda.
The cartoon games for the gameboy's and ds', and Wind Waker, well I believe they're sorta alternate universe. Otherwise, how the does Hyrule go from being underneath the sea to completley fine again in Twilight Princess? But Zelda, being Zelda, always knows about each alternate universe. And that's what prompted this one.

7. Pirate [Legend of Zelda:Wind Waker]
Zelda has been many things. A Princess, a ruler, a leader, a ninja, but this new incarnation of her... Well. It's certainly strange.
She reviewed her memories again and quirked an eyebrow.
A pirate...? Really?
A pirate named Tetra.
At least when she was Shiek she had a cool name.
But when she was all of those things... Even Shiek... She always had a sense of duty. Knowledge that Gannondorf was coming, and that she must get Link trained and ready.
As Tetra... she really hadn't had any interatction with Link at all! Besides chucking him in a barrel of all things into the fortress of Gannondorf. What was she thinking?
But with Tetra, Zelda mused, there was a sense of freedom and joy. Adventure with crew mates she trusted, robbing the rich and playing with the poor, and just gallavanting around the sea.
She had her own time, her own ways, and Zelda kinda felt bad about interupting them.
However Tetra, she thought this was the coolest thing around.
And when they finally merged, to help Link, they realized that maybe being a pirate was a good match for a princess.
For the princess would break a little of the rules and help Link defeat a boss, and the pirate would be a bit of a better and kinder, more benevolent ruler of the seas.
Zelda would remember this incarnation forever. Because she learned, while Ninjas are definatley cooler... Pirates have more fun.
