Congrats to the people who guessed why Links gold! I'll explain at the end. And DOUBLY congrats to the people who guessed why poor Percy was a guinea pig, BUT what was the trouble Link saw? WHAT happened to Annabeth? And what is ganondorf planning?
A tear fell onto the stone of the house, and a finger wiped the eye it came from. Even though Zelda was Sheik, they were separate people, and profited from Sheiks knowledge of weapons and Zelda's knowledge of magic.
Zelda remembered the journey to the Sheikah village for a way to hide from Ganondorfs clutches. And Sheik remembered his life's training galloping into his Village.
Sheik heard the gongs on the Princesses 3rd day of their stay, and went to the town meeting it meant. The words echoed through his head as he heard them.
"The princess needs a place to hide. And somebody to hide her"
many hands went up at this. Including Sheiks.
"A body."
Many hands went down, but others came up. Sheiks stayed in the air, a little sweaty now, because he wasn't sure if he wanted this.
"Around her age"
Many hands went down, but four others stayed. Scanning the crowd, The Princesses eyes rested –on him. His heart skipped a beat. Was she really going to pick him? She pointed,
"You."
Though nervous, Sheik showed none of it as he walked through the crowd. He looked at his parents. His mom was crying and smiling. His father standing prouder then ever. Sheiks eyes switched back to the Princess. She and her Bodyguard went into a house and Sheik followed.
And the merging began.
Sheik blinked out of the memories to ask Zelda a question.
"Why did you pick me?"
Zelda responded quickly but tiredly. "Again?"
"Yes. Your other answers are not very logical. 'I saw it in your eyes' really?"
"Err…"
"Well?"
"I cast a spell to find the most trustworthy, the other four, Cawlrin, Strich, Groose, and Mido, Right? They would've betrayed me."
Sheik stayed silent as he moved to saddle Epona. (A/N Sheik borrowed her from Link)
"Now get moving, we need the goddess harp so you can learn those songs to teach them to Link." Her voice cracked slightly at Links name and Sheik knew why.
"Who's teaching me?"
"Link was at first, but I'll have to do."
"Wait… Link was going to teach me… to teach him?"
"….yeah,"
"Did Link-"
"STOP MENTIONING LINK! HES GONE! He's Gone…. Links gone…" Zelda's part of their mind broke down in sobs and Sheik felt guilty and fell silent.
Well, a bit out of the way, but I wanted to show Zelda grieving, and decided to throw in Sheik/Zelda's background.
And the reason Link is Gold is because OCARINA OF TIME LINK IS THE HEROS SHADE!
