Because I love you all so much, (but really because I was going to anyway), here's the next chapter to my tale. Like I said before, I'm not telling what's to come. You have to read it. Enjoy…
"Dad?" called a voice of a young girl, "Oh, he better not be asleep again." She mumbled. She was Malon, daughter of Talon, owner of Lon-Lon Ranch.
"Huh?" a sleepy sounding called voice.
After a few yawns, the farm owner seemed rather awake. "What is it Malon?"
"I think some of the livestock isn't feeling well. The cows seem weak; some of the chickens are missing, and many of the horses seem too tired to run over a half a mile before resting, or collapsing. I think someone poisoned our livestock."
Talon took a minute to think. "I'm sure it's just the drought that we've been having." The ranch owner was rather correct about the weather. There had been a drought for the last 3 weeks, and it was the start of summer too, not to mention a heat wave in the first weak of the drought. "Why, I'm sure we'll get some rain soon, dear."
"Maybe you're right. Thanks dad."

Unbeknownst to the farm family, the evil wizard Gertaldo was watching, via the magical vortex that he created. "Pathetic simpleton. His head is harder than the rocky body of a goron, and he's lazy too." He chuckles. Then the vortex goes to different locations where the sages and Link are trying to figure out what to do. "Hah ha, it's been 2 days since I've captured that pathetic forest child. They still haven't found our camp." He looks towards the magical prison, where Saria is held.
Saria's time spent with the wizard was definitely not fun, (to her anyway), the soldiers on the other hand were enjoying her presence. She had to do some nasty things for them. Even thinking about it made her ready to crouch on the floor, and shiver. Then she remembered something that was left unfound by the captor, well actually 2 things… her ocarina, and her fairy. The ocarina was safely concealed within a well-hidden pocket on her tunic, while the sorcerer forgot the tiny fairy all together. On the other hand, the music that an instrument makes is intended to be loud. Her best bet would be to wait for the evil mage would leave her alone, enough time to sing her song to Link, in order to contact him. "Where are we anyway? I know we're in your camp, but be more specific as to location."
The wizard grunted, "Fine I'll tell you! We're…"
"Sir!" a soldier called, "The food supply is running low. What are we going to do, we can't seem to live off these meager rations?"
"Go hunting. Let the dwarven smiths give you some of our finest hunting spears, and take a few archers too. Do try to also remember to bring back edibles other than meat; I believe there are several berries that you forage from the area. I guess the dwarven lumberjacks should go bring back more wood for the arrows, this time tell them to bring a fruit tree back. Maple trees would be nice, if they can even grow here."
"Right away." replies the soldier. After a quick salute, he runs off to the others.
"Now where was I? Oh yes. We're in the land of Troada, a land bigger than your puny country, where serious workers, and strong minded, and strong willed find good lives. Troada is filled with races of people that are wide, & varied. Dwarves, for instance are a race of small stocky people. Almost all the men have beards, and have a lot of strength, which contradicts their size. They fight well with axes, and hammers, and are skilled blacksmiths, miners, and builders. They work well with stone, metals, and precious rocks. What they lack in agility, they make up for with endurance." He glares back at the vortex. "You already know about Zoras. Yes, you have them in your world. There are also Deku Scrubs to the swamp to the northeastern area. They get by living rather secluded from the rest of them, but only a bit secluded. They still fit in well, so we're ok with that. Besides on a personal thought, variety is kind of a good thing."
"Hmm, umm, that's good and all," Saria lied while thinking to herself 'I'd rather be eaten by Deku Babas than be here.' "But I meant in conjunction towards my home."
"Oh ho, ho, wouldn't you like to know, but since any rescue attempts would be futile, I'll tell you, we're south from the Gerudo Desert Colossus. That's only an estimate for you. You're getting no more information. Now then let's see. Hmm, yes, at this rate, I think I have a plan."
******
After a few hours of planning, the other sages decided it would be best to always be near some other person. Link had decided to go warn other friends of his. First stop on his list was Lon-Lon Ranch. "Man this heat wave is unbearable. I better find Malon."
After arrival, Malon wasn't too hard to spot, but was feeling unusually low. "Huh? Oh, hi Link. How are you?"
Link thought for a minute, usually Malon was in a happier attitude towards him. But in troubled times, even the cheeriest people could become depressed. "Not that good. In fact I have urgent news. A strange evil has again descended upon the land, but unlike more evils, this doesn't want our land, but I think it wants me, and wants to get to me through my friends. Saria has already been abducted." He then thinks, "So, what's wrong, why are you feeling so depressed?"
Malon sighed, "It's this heat wave. It's killing off all the animals. We need rain, or water in any form, but rain's better."
Link had an idea, "I know!" With that said, he pulled out his ocarina, and sang the song of storms, soon rain just dropped all over Hyrule field.
Malon was shocked, "Why didn't you ever tell me you had a song like that?"
Link chuckled a bit, "Did you ever ask?"
"Good point. Now what were you saying about an evil."
******
"Gah, he managed to end the drought, but, ah, that's it. You think you're so cool Link, well then, you're freezing." Laughed the wizard as he fired ice at the vortex, which went straight to thee rain cloud in the sky.
******
"Link, what have you done?" Asked a rather disappointed Malon
"I made rain, but someone froze that rain. This ice doesn't seem right. Like it's of a magical entity. I always could tell a difference between normal ice, and magically made ice. Hmmm? By the way Malon, you should hurry to the Temple of Time. You will be safe there. C'mon!"
Malon shrugged, and followed Link. Link managed to snatch a piece of the ice rain, before it stopped, along with the regular rain. With that Malon took a horse, and they rode back to the castle. "Epona was able to handle this bad weather quite well."
Link shrugged, "I'm not surprised."
******
"Oh, I'm starting to get agitated. I know. I think I'll give our hero a test. Yes, that's it, a test. Let's see if he can handle it." With that, Gertaldo opened a portal, which vacuumed in Link, Malon, and Epona. "Ha, ha, ha. Now, it's becoming more personal Link. I better get to work abducting people from Termina. Who's on his list of friends there? Let's see."
"What do you want from Link anyway, you wizened old fart?" yelled Saria in a rather bold angry voice.
"I'm glad you asked. By the way I'm only 37. It goes like this. In your land of Hyrule, there is an artifact of great power that is concealed in a long forgotten location. It is an ancient tomahawk, which grants power, agility, and great magic to 1 who wields it. It is better known as the 'Axe of Portents'. Searching for this axe for a good 4 years, I have found it to be located in your puny homeland you people call Hyrule. Fortunately, I came at around the time when Ganondorf came to take over. I saw that he had great power. Though I originally came for the axe alone, I realized great power behind the Triforce, and after spying on your lives to learn as much as I could, which required me to use much magic, in order to view the events while Link had the Master Sword without actual time travel myself. I watched Link's life in Termina too. Though things got hectic when he used the song of Time to go back, forward, or slow things down, the effect was only in Termina, therefore, while Terminians saw this as a whole three days, it was more like a month absence in Hyrulian time."
Saria thought for a minute. If she could play this song of Time, she might be able to go back, and tell the other sages what happened, so they could stop it before it could stop.
"Of course, since the time travel magic only worked in Termina, there were times that his Song of Time would make for other uses before he went to Termina. It opened the Door of Time.

Scatted around an open field, Link, Malon, and Epona have been scattered about an open field. Link wakes up first, and notices a tree, with a picture that he remembers well. "Huh, that picture, I know that picture. That means, no way, It can't be." He looks behind him, "A Clock Tower, we're in Termina! Oh well, at least a deranged satellite isn't trying to plunge into the ground like a comet. It had an ugly face. Wait a minute, where's Malon?" he looks to his right, to see her rather safe in a field of grass. That safety isn't going to last however, as 2 Deku Babas rise from the shrubbery to attack.
The Babas sap like drool, and rancid smelling breath right in the farm girls face could wake you up. Malon let out a scream of pain, as the Babas are about to strike. But Link cuts in just in time, not to mention that he cuts their vines, leaving nothing but small sticks to remain. "Link, what happened, where are we?"
"We're in Termina. This is where I was when I went missing for a month after I went to search for Navi, not on purpose obviously. Say, where's Epona?"
******
"It's struck again. The evil which is still a mystery has opened up a portal to another dimension," cried Zelda in worry, sitting alone in the castle courtyard. "It's more than that, it took Link with it. I think Malon is missing too." She was alone except for her guardian, Impa.
"Child, stop worrying, Link has saved us in more ways than one. Just 1 new evil can't stop him. His bravery can ensure that he'll manage."
"I guess you're right Impa, but people are going missing. First Saria is mysteriously abducted. Then Link is thrown into a giant portal, as well as Malon. If Link isn't here, how will he protect us?"
"Dad?" called a voice of a young girl, "Oh, he better not be asleep again." She mumbled. She was Malon, daughter of Talon, owner of Lon-Lon Ranch.
"Huh?" a sleepy sounding called voice.
After a few yawns, the farm owner seemed rather awake. "What is it Malon?"
