Link's footsteps crunched on the branches on the ground. The trees around him were getting farther apart. His eyes widened as he gazed across the opening of the field. Light stretched across a green field that seemed endless in his mind. Link gasped.

"There so much sky!" He heard someone say, but soon he realized it was himself speaking.

HOOT! HOOT! "Link…Look up here!" Link jumped and looked up to a branch that was close to one of the last trees of the forest. An owl of different shades of brown and the size of young Link himself, sat perched on the branch, turning its head side to side, yet still looking at him. "It appears that the time has finally come for you to start your adventure!"

"Who are you?" Link asked quickly. "How do you know who I am?" He grabbed his shield from behind him.

HOOT! HOOT! "I am Kaepora Gaebora. There is much about you I know. I have watched you from a child, growing with the forest children, trying to save the Deku Tree. Young Link…You will encounter many hardships ahead... That is your fate." The owl took a breath. Link could sense Kaepora wouldn't attack. He relaxed placing the shield once again on his back. "Don't feel discouraged, even during the toughest times!" Link nodded at the owl. He reminded Link of the Great Deku Tree-constantly trying to offer his wisdom. One large feathery wing spread outward, pointing over the hill. "Go straight this way and you will see Hyrule Castle. You will meet a princess there..." Link stared out into the open field. All his eyes could see was rolling hills of grass. Kaepora read his expression, and sighed with what seemed a smile. " If you are lost and don't know which way to go, look at this map." From one of his claw like feet, fell an old scroll. Navi flew over to it quickly and Link picked it up. "Did you get all of that?" Link unrolled the scroll in his hand and saw outlines of different places of this new open world. At the very bottom of the old paper was a drawing of green tree like smudges, which he saw as Kokiri forest, and he smiled. When getting no answer, Kaepora ruffled his feathers, then rested. "Alright then, I'll see you around! Hoot hoot hoot ho!" With that, Kaepora spread his wings, soaring off into the bright, open sky.

Navi made a sound that seemed almost unfamiliar coming from her. She almost sounded like she was laughed as she soared forward into the openness. Link folded the map to slide into a pouch hanging off his small belt. Link smiled and began running after her laughing.

The sun shined high in the sky above them, as very few clouds passed over its beauty. Without the shade of trees, the heat struck Link, but he almost didn't care. His mind was stuck. His own adventure. The world was nothing like he imagined. He stopped at the top of a hill. His eyes were wide, exploring everything around him. The field was surrounded by a small mountain range. To his far right, there was a staircase leading up into a higher, and thicker mountain range. In front of the stair case, by several feet, a stream flowed off into a path that disappeared behind a series of dark hills and a path of light green grass. To his left there was a hill that had a small area with houses, like he'd never seen. But in front of him. He froze. He was captivated. In gray stone, stood tall, strong walls, and far behind it…the castle. He ran towards it in almost disbelief. It was just like in his dream. The tall stronghold of walls. The drawbridge. The grass. Everything.

"Hey!" Navi shouted. Link looked up at her, as if shaken out of his own little world. They stood at the edge of the bridge, he hadn't even realized he'd made it there. Navi fluttered in front of him. He stood wide eyed as she flew across the bridge. "You coming?" She asked quickly. A smile spread quickly across Link's face as he ran across into the small town.
