As me and... um, Sheik, i dont know their name is; went into Kakariko, I asked him,

"So, how did you know who I was?"

"That's easy, your tunic. It's one of a kind, and you are the only person who would have it on now. Since its your birthday."

He saw the very questionable face I was making, since I've never seen this person before, but they know these things.

"I see that you are confused. Let me clear some things up, I am a Sheik. I was raised in a hidden village, and was put on the... let's call it the Scouts, for the army. Then I was told to watch over you. I've always had an eye on you. You father personally asked me to do it. Though, by what I saw earlier, it seems that you can take care of yourself."

What... he was watching me this whole time?! I've never seen this person before. They must be lying.

"How do I know your telling the truth." I said stopping. I wasn't going to just walk into an ambush. He just sighed and said,

"I'm not the bad guy here. I made that tunic for you! My name is Zelda."

... well... this is awkward. H-, I guess she now, pulled up her hood and showed me her face. Yeah it was Zelda. I've seen pencil art of what she looked like, so there wasn't any doubt in my mind now.

"Oh... well what is-"

That's when I heard another scream, from a man no less.

"No time for this Link!"

We rushed forward as fast as we could. Then we saw... what the hell is going on!?

There were at least 15 bodies strewn about. I won't even mention the blood. No houses were on fire, though some looked like they had been. Then I saw him.

There was a man, wielding a club, and striking down some boblins. Considering his stature, I would say that he was no less than 40.

"A little help here?!"

When I stepped forward to help, Zelda was already there.

She had 4 knives already deeply imbeded in 4 boblins heads, then she took out a dagger and slashed the necks of 5 more. No more boblins.

I hadn't even drawn my blade, and she had killed 9 boblins?! Either she had trained her entire life, or she is very gifted... or both.

"Thanks for the save there, I was approaching my limit."

The man we had helped stood tall, and had some pretty long hair. I guess he never had a haircut?

"I'm Luda, it's nice to meet..."

He stopped talking when he saw me. I couldn't piece together what he was thinking, but I could tell that he had never seen me before.

"Sheik, who is this?" He said,

"It's ok Luda, he's Links son, you can let your guard down. He's grown a lot huh?"

I could tell that he was wary of me. I mean, I would be too, if the world was going to shit.

"I'm Link, it's a pleasure to meet you."

I stuck out my hand, and greeted him. He had a firm grip, which I returned in kind.

"Well met, Link. Though I'm afraid Zelda beat you to the fight, it seems likely that your training was cut short."

"Well yes, I had only just begun the third month. Until today, I haven't even killed a monster before."

He got this... I don't know, interested look in his eye. Then he looked to Zelda.

"So, how many so far?"

She replied, "2 shadow beings, 15 boblins, and 5 Kargaroks. 1 Kargarok was a leutinent."

"Not half bad for a beginner. Though, Colin has you beat by 23. Hahaha."

So that's how strong Colin was at the end of training... I need much more practice to be on his level.

"Don't worry though, we'll have you up and killing monsters soon enough. Though if you want a comparison with your father, He has you beat by a few hundred." Said Luda,

"Come on Luda give him a break, he hasn't even graduated from training yet. That's when we can test him for real."

"So um," I said, "What now?"

I didn't really know what to do next.

"Well, next me and Zelda will round up all of the villagers... who are still alive, and begin to make plans for defense. Link, you need to go and see Malo. You'll need a better shield, and a bow, for where we are going."

Then we each set off for a different direction.
