One dark cloudy night, Zelda woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep. She sat there on her bed in the darkness of her room watching the moon move across the sky. Suddenly something caught her eye. She saw two small yellow-green lights moving through the woods and coming down the hill getting closer to the castle yard. They looked like the eyes of some animal. But she could not make out what kind of a creature it was. The creature moved around the castle yard and a few minutes later, Zelda lost sight of it. Then she saw it crawling up the castle wall towards her window. It looked like a man, and yet it didn't. Zelda was terrified. She wanted to run from her room. But her door is a bit far away from her bed. She was afraid the creature would see her and break in before she could escape. When the creature turn and moved in another direction, Zelda rush to the door. But before she could open the door, it was back. Zelda found herself staring through the window are shrunken face like that of a Gibdo. It's yellow-green eyes gleamed like a cat's eyes. Zelda screamed at what she seeing. Then the creature broke the window glass, unlocked the window, and crawled inside. Zelda tried to flee, but the creature caught her. It twisted it's long, bony fingers into her hair, pulled back her head, and sank it's teeth into her throat.
Zelda screamed once more and fainted. All of a sudden, Link and a few guards burst into Zelda's room after hearing her screams. When the creature saw Link and the guards it fled. While Link and a guard tried to stop Zelda's bleeding. Three guards chased the creature up the hill and through the woods. The chase went on until the creature disappeared in a graveyard and lost sight of it. They looked around the graveyard for awhile, and headed back to the castle.
The next day after Zelda recovered from her wounds, she told Link and the guards that were there that night what happen last night before they came to her aid. One of the guards believed to be the work of an escaped prisoner from a small village near by, the villagers there believe that the escaped prisoner is a vampire, a creature of the night who feed on the living's blood. To further support his claim there have been reports of villagers found dead with holes on their neck and being completely pale due to the lack of blood.
Ever since that night, the castle has been heavily guarded by the castles guards whenever it became nighttime.
One night months later, Zelda was awaken by a scratching sound at the window. When she open her eyes, there was the same shrunken Gibdo face staring in at her. Luckily, the creature has been spotted by castle guard and altered Link and the other guards. They all chase he creature up the hills and through the woods. Link used his bow and arrow and manage to hit it on the right leg. But the creature managed to scramble over the graveyard wall and disappeared near an old burial vault.
The next day, Zelda, Link, and a few guards watched as the sexton of a small village's church opened the burial vault. Inside was a horrifying scene-- broken coffins, bones and flesh scattered everywhere on the floor. There was only one coffin that have not been disturbed. When the sexton open it, there lay the shrunken Gibdo faced creature that attacked Zelda. The creature still had the arrow on it's right leg where Link shot it. After finding the creature, Link and a few guards took the coffin containing the creature outside the vault. Then the sexton of the church built a roaring blaze and fed the shrunken Gibdo like creature to the flames. They all watch the body burn until nothing remained but ashes.
