Before life began, before the world had form, three golden goddesses descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule. They were Din, the goddess of power; Nayru, the goddess of wisdom and Farore, the goddess of courage.
Din, with her strong, flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth to give the spirit of law to the world. Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law.
These three great goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving behind them the golden sacred Triforce. Since then, the Triforce has become the basis for Hyrules providence. Where the Triforce stood became the sacred land.
In the Vast, deep forest of Hyrule, the Great Deku Tree served as the guardian spirit. The children of the forest, the Kokiri, lived with the Great Deku Tree. Each Kokiri has his or her own guardian fairy...
...Except one...
"Careful Link..."
A child, about the age of 10, was kneeling in long grass, spying on something, He was concentrating hard as he thought.
"No sudden movements,,," he told himself. "Don't want to blow it again... Stay quiet..."
Suddenly he darted at the thing and threw something he had grip on into the air. He screamed as he dived and threw the item, a bug-catching net, down to the ground. A butterfly flew up into the air and passed the young boys face.
"Rats..."
The boy watched the thing fly away, knowing he was only a few inches from capturing it. He gave a sigh and kicked at the ground, the only thing he had managed to capture was the belief he couldn't catch a cold if he tried.
"Link!"
The boy turned round to see a girl, about his age, running towards him. His face brightened up as he realised who it was.
"I was this close, Saria..." Link boasted. "If I had been any closer, I would have caught that butterfly. You caught anything?"
"Nothing..." Saria said, smiling. "But don't get too happy! I'll catch something before you!"
"Wanna bet?" Link laughed. "I've been improving. If you had saw me just then, you'd have thought I'd caught it!"
"Yeah yeah... what ever, Link. I'd say you fell asleep and dreamed it all." Saria said, turning around. "You coming? We'll get some berries and then you can come back to my house."
"Ok..." Link muttered. They both started to walk off, but something flew down behind Link. The young boy turned round. Something had landed in the grass. He walked towards the area, posing his net in position. He wasn't going to hesitate. He was going to catch this butterfly.
"GGUUYYAAAHHH!"
Saria turned round at the noise to see Link's hat peering out of the grass. A soft buzzing coming from where he was. Saria ran up to Link to see what was going on.
"I did it Saria!" Link said, laughing with power. "I did it! And what a butterfly it is!"
Saria looked in the net to see something fluttering around in it. It was a brilliant blue with two wings, fitting a basic description of a butterfly. But there was something odd about it...
"Link..." Saria said, holding back her laughter. "That's...no butterfly..."
"It isn't?" Link said with a confused look on his face.
"It's a fairy, Link..." Saria giggled. Link looked even more puzzled.
"But...your fairy is pink..." He said
"Fairy's are all different, Link. Take Mido's. His fairy's blue."
"Yeah, but Mido is a jerk." Link muttered.
"That's not the point Link!" Saria shouted. "It's a fairy and we are hunting Butterfly's!"
"Hey... I don't have a fairy..." Link thought out loud, Looking at the fairy, who was tiring of flying in the net.
"Well..." Saria began, only to be interrupted.
"I am NOT being your fairy!"
Link's eyes widened as he looked at the fairy. It had settled on the ground and faced Link.
"First of all I get trapped in this net and then I'm meant to think I can be this idiots fairy! Of all the nerve of some people these days..."
"She's right, Link." Saria said. "You can't just make a fairy be your fairy."
"Yeah...well... I need a fairy... everyone else has one and 'The great Mido' calls me names."
"Well your not getting me!"
"Do you ever shut up?" Link said, glaring.
"Let me talk to her." Saria told Link. She bent down and looked at the fairy.
"Hello there. What's your name?" Saria asked.
"Navi." The fairy answered bluntly.
"Now watch this, Link." Saria said. She let Navi out of the net and the fairy circled Saria. Then Saria got the pink fairy that was following her and directed it to Navi. The two fairies' flew around and talked, while Saria but her hands behind her head and smiled smugly.
"Yeah... I would be able to do that if I had a fairy..." Link said, not wanting to be outdone by his friend.
"Link, you WILL get a fairy some day. Be patient, I'm sure the Great Deku Tree has got one waiting for you."
"Yeah...well...I'll go and see the Deku tree tomorrow..."
The next day Link awoke with no blanket over his body and realised it had fallen off during the night. He was very cold and decided he'd better go and see the Deku tree early so he can boast to Mido about his new frairy. He jumped out of his bed and walked over to the door. Allready, by looking outside, Link could see the Kokiri children walking around, doing tasks such as digging holes or moving rocks. Some, on the other hand, just relaxed and did things like swimming or playing. Link got a burst of energy out of thinking of his new fairy and jumped off the balcony of the tree house. He landed on his feet and instantly sprung up and darted along the path, which lead to the Deku Tree.
Link passed several confused Kokiri people, who watched him as he ran past. Link never had been seen so active.
"And just where do you think your going, Mr. No-fairy?"
"Mido..."
There stood Mido, a slightly plump Kokiri child. He stared at Link with a curious face; his arms at his side making himself look important.
"I'm going to see the Great Deku Tree." Link answered. Mido laughed in Links face, some of his saliva landing on Link's cheek.
"YOU? SEE THE DEKU TREE? DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!"
"I wouldn't want you to... I don't want your face to crack..."
Mido ignored Link's incompetence.
"Look at you! You look so out of place! No fairy, no weapons, no real importance!"
"Try looking at your reflection..." Link muttered.
"YOU ARE NOT A REAL KOKIRI, LINK!" Mido shouted, realy trying to hurt the poor child. "YOU NEVER WILL HAVE A FAIRY TO CALL YOUR OWN! YOU'LL SPEND FOREVER WITHOUT A FAIRY, HAVING THOSE STUPID NIGHTMARES AND WAKING UP ONLY TO FIND YOUR STILL THE LOSER YOU ARE NOW! YOU'RE AN IDIOT!"
Link was realy hurt by all of what Mido said, but wasn't upset. He was more angry than upset. First a real fairy turned him down, then he was told he wasn't a real Kokiri, and now Mido had reminded him about his nightmares...
Those horrible nightmares...
Thunder cracked. Link was standing alone in a sort of field. A drawbridge was lowered in front of him and a horse rode out. On the horse were two females, one old, one young. This confused Link. He followed the horse with his eyes and then turned round again.
There a black horse bucked, inches away from Link's face. Link fell back and the rider sneered at him. A horrible face, something Link couldn't picture himself was glaring down at him, smiling evilly...
A face Link couldn't picture himself...
