Chapt. 2

Link woke up and sat up. For a moment, he didn't notice he wasn't in his forest tree house anymore, but when he did, he was taken by surprise. He was sitting on a sidewalk, houses lining one side, and on the other side, a road. He stared as a car drove past. "wha-? Where am I?" He asked himself, staring around. He finally got to his feet and walked down the street. "This is definitely NOT Hyrule." he mumbled. A person passing him stared at him. With him saying stuff like Hyrule and wearing what he is, he was pretty out of place.

He continued down the street, out into a larger one. More cars were zooming past, much faster than a horse carriage. He thought it was probably another quest from the sages or something, but he couldn't figure it out. What would he have to do in a place like this?

He walked for awhile, getting stares from other people, and went into a parking lot of a plaza. "Would this be the local Marketplace?" He asked himself. As he walked along, he went into a store. The man behind the counter was looking at something, and didn't notice him come in. Link realized he had stepped into a clothing store, with various styles of clothing. Curious as to what was in this world, Link looked around. To his surprise, he couldn't find any tunics or gauntlets or some boots that were normal to him. All he found was jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts. The boy at the checkout counter looked up from what he was doing and gawked at Link. He was a young man with spiky hair which was blonde, and a t-shirt and jeans.

"What's with the Halloween costume, man?" asked the boy. Link turned to him.

"What?" he asked.

"The get-up. Heh, you look like something straight out of the medieval era." He shook his head. "and I don't think other people are going to be so lenient about that huge knife you've got on your back."

Link just stared at him. "my clothing is. wrong?" he asked the boy.

The boy nodded. "yep. That's something I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole." He said, getting up off the chair he was sitting on. "How about we find you something nice to wear, huh? How much money do you have, dude?"

Link took out his sack of Rupees and looked inside. "I have about 500 Rupees." He said, shrugging.

"Rupees?" asked the boy. Link nodded and pulled out one of the shiny gems. "whoa man! Those are incredible! I've NEVER seen anything like it!" he took the Rupee and stared at it. "Gimme just one of these, and I'll let you have anything you want!"

Link smiled. "Sure, keep it. Pretty cheap for clothing really." The boy pocketed the Rupee and pulled a pair of loose loking jeans off a rack, and a black shirt off another.

"How about this?" he said, holding it up against Link to judge how it would look. "I think it'll suit you." Said the boy. "now go ditch those other things and change into these so I can see." He said, pointing to the change rooms.

Link went inside one, and changed. All of his equipment was laying on the bench and he came out in the jeans and t-shirt. The boy gave a low whistle.

"You look great man." He said, and Link smiled.

"Thanks." Link said, looking in the mirror. He might just get to like this place. "I'll take these." He said, and picked up his gear. The boy handed him a bag to put his old things in, and cut the tags off of the new things.

"Come back soon!" called the boy as Link walked out.

A/N: now all I gotta do is get an idea for what he does next. anyone have some suggestions?
