[Author's Note: Welcome all to my second fan fiction ever, Dual Vengeance. It's been a while since I've written my first story, The Real Smash Bros., but I think I remember just about everything about it. Firstly, I want to tell everyone that if you didn't read my first story, that's ok. I will explain anything important that happen in it in the story. Next, you need to know that this is not a comedy, but I will put a couple jokes in now and then. If you don't like this, too bad. Next, Italics mean thinking, and brackets means there's an Author Note (I usually have one before each chapter). Also, I do intend to finish this fan fic, so if it's not done I appreciate you coming back and reading it again later. Finally, I want to say that I want honest reviews, because they give me insight into what I need to improve upon. And for those of you who don't understand that, REVIEW OR I'LL HUNT YOU DOWN LIKE THE DOGS YOU ARE AND SLAUGHTER YOU WHILE YOU SLEEP!!!! Hey, stop laughing at me! I could if I wanted too! Really! Anyway, the first chapter takes place right after The Ocarina of Time. Now get comfy people cause ready or not here it is.]
Chapter 1: Seven Years Back
"SOMEDAY…
WHEN THIS SEAL IS BROKEN…
THAT IS WHEN I WILL EXTERMINATE YOU!!
AS LONG AS THE TRIFORCE OF POWER IS IN MY HAND…"
Those last words of Gannondorf echoed in Link's head the whole journey back to his real time. He knew that no matter where Gannondorf was, he would spend every waking moment trying to find a way back to Hyrule and kill him. He also knew that no matter where he will go or what he will do, he will always have to stay on guard just in case of the unexpected, and every night he will have to pray to God that the next day he will actually wake up. This thought scared him more than anything had in his entire life.
Suddenly, as mysterious as it began, Link's journey through time ended. He found himself in the Temple of Time, hand on the Master Sword. He turned around and left the very same way he came back in. On the way out, he grabbed the three shimmering gems from the pedestal, and watched the Door of Time close. He took one final look around, making sure to remember every detail he could, and, without the slightest regret, walked out the exit of the temple.
However, once he got outside, Link had a feeling that he was missing something he couldn't quite put his finger on. He quickly searched through his equipment quickly, but found nothing the least bit out of place. I have everything!! My sword, my shield, my bow, my boomerang, my wallet, my tunic, my bottles… Oh no.
"Navi?" whispered Link aloud, squinting as he got used to the light. "Navi, where are you?!?"
A wave of panic gripped him as he looked around but did not see his fairy companion anywhere. "Navi!?! NAVI!?!!"
For the first time in a long time, Link was truly alone.
********************************************************
Maybe she went on ahead. though Link as he walked toward Hyrule market. Yeah! That's got to be it!!
While he expected a mob of people to confront him as soon as he stepped foot in to the marketplace, Link noticed that no one seemed to notice him at all. However, he was distracted at the time and just took it as due to his diminished stature.
"Naaavviiii!!!" called Link as he looked left and right. "Come on, Navi, this isn't funny. Where are y…"
All of a sudden, a wealthy-looking man dressed in expensive foreign silk bumped into Link and knocked him over into a puddle of mud.
"Watch where your going, kid!!" yelled the man. Link got up quickly but was soaked and brown.
"KID!?! How dare you call the legendary hero of time a kid!!" shouted Link. He had felt that this was an attack on his pride.
The man kept walking and yelled back, "Yeah, whatever kid."
Link wrung out what he could of his shirt and mumbled to himself, "Damn tourists."
He continued to walk around and call out Navi's name until an idea popped into his head. Maybe one of the townspeople will help me find Navi. They'd probably jump at the chance to help out the legendary 'hero of time'!!
"Excuse me," asked Link softly to the couple that danced in the middle of the marketplace, "could you help me look for my traveling companion?"
The couple did not respond, so Link tried asking a little louder.
"Excuse me, but I…"
"Buzz off kid." said the guy in the couple. "We're busy right now."
Link was appalled. "Too busy even to help the boy that…" Suddenly, Link put two plus two together. No mob… rude man… no respect…
"You don't recognize me," asked Link slowly, "do you?"
"Yeah, you're the boy who keeps bugging us!!" screamed the guy again. "Now GET LOST!!!"
The color drained from Link's face as he realized the truth. All of that work and hardship… and I'm the only one who remembers!?!
Then a thought a thousand times worse enters then what he just previously experienced entered his mind.
Zelda!!!
********************************************************
Link ran as fast as his feet could carry him to the castle gate. "Let me in!! I need to talk to the Princess!"
"Ha!" said one of the guards. "You're not fit to even LOOK at the princess, much less talk to her, commoner!"
Oh yeah, that's right. thought Link as he left the gate and went to the vine that grew on the side of the path. They don't know me. Forgot.
It only took a second for Link to climb up the vine and run past the guard gate. After that, he cut across the front lawn as quickly as he could without being seen. Then he entered through a small hole in the side of the castle and stealthy sneaked past more guards to get to the castle courtyard.
[Author's Note: This next part is the scene that happens at the very end of ending of the Ocarina of Time.]
Link slowed down as he approached the courtyard, mainly to catch his breath. As he stepped in, he immediately noticed Princess Zelda's back was toward him and she was looking in the window of the throne room.
Okay, I don't wanna surprise her or she might scream. thought Link. Unfortunately, at that very moment, he stepped on a twig that made an exceptionally loud snap.
Zelda quickly turned around and gasped.
********************************************************
The moment seemed to last for what seemed like an eternity to Link. Does she remember what had happened? Is she going to call the guards? Does she even recognize me without Navi?
But as Link looked deeper into her clear blue eyes, all of his questions were answered. They were like a window to her soul, and through them he could tell that she remembered everything.
"Oh Link!" cried Zelda as she ran over to him and hugged him, eyes swelling up with tears, "You remember, don't you?"
"Yes." responded Link as he put his head on hers and hugged her a little tighter. "Yes I do."
