Link slowly opened his eyes and let out a faint moan. What happened? Where was he? He found himself in a nice bed in a nice room. He rubbed his eyes and gasped when he found himself in his and Zelda's room! How did he get here? All he remembered was passing out in the field.

"You're finally awake." Came the voice of a woman.

It was Impa, Zelda's caretaker. "Impa, what happened?" Link asked still very confused as he sat up in bed. "The guards found you unconscious in the field. They brought you here and we got you cleaned up and in bed. You have been asleep for hours." She explained. "Zelda!" he exclaimed suddenly. Impa looked down in despair. "We received a letter. " She began. "What letter?" Link asked with a now worried voice. "Zelda and Tilkate ran away to find you," She said walking to a table. "A couple days later, we got this letter." She handed the letter to the worried young man. It read:

"ILink, the Hero of Time, I have your wife Zelda, the Princess of Hyrule and your friend Tilkate, the Gerudo, prisoner. If you ever want to see them again, I suggest you surrender yourself to me. You have four days.

Sincerely,

The queen of Nachar, Abesh./I"

"Great." Link sighed. "We tried are best to make her stay. Tilkate betrayed us. We trusted her to make sure that Zelda stayed here and she ends up helping her escape." Impa explained. "No, not blame Tilkate. She was only trying to help me. Though I wish they had stayed here." He replied. "What are you going to do?" She asked. "I'm going to rescue Zelda and Tilkate." He answered. "Be careful." She said as she left the room so that Link could get ready to leave to find Zelda and Tilkate. He closed his eyes and sighed. He blamed all this on himself. "If only I wasn't so reckless" He thought.



Flashback:

Link found himself surrounded by five Nachar fighters. He decided to use the power that the Great Fairy had given him when he was ten years old. He would power up his sword to do a spin attack. He hadn't done it in the longest time. It was also very risky since the Nachar were so fast. He held out his sword as it began to glow a blue light. He gasped when suddenly one of the fighters kicked the sword from his hand. He tried to grab it, but found himself being hit over the head very hard. Everything went black.

"Why did I try to use that attack?" He asked himself. After he got dressed, he went into a room to get his weapons. He grabbed his usual weapons like the Fairy Bow, Hookshot, Din's Fire (though it probably wouldn't work because Abesh would block it), bombs and bottles of potion. Then he grabbed his Hylian shield and quickly went to the Temple of Time to get his Master Sword.

After that he went to the stables to get Epona. He raised an eye brow when he saw that she wasn't there. "Epona? Here girl!" He called out. He tried playing the song that Malon taught him to play whenever he wanted to call Epona, but that didn't work either. "Zelda must of taken her." He thought. Then he decided to take Zelda's horse named Snow. She was a beautiful white horse. Link rode her only a couple times, but she was the only horse in the stable he knew how to ride. He knew Zelda loved her horse so he had to be extra careful. After he mounted the house, he quickly rode off to Kakiriko Village.



"Perfect!" Exclaimed Queen Abesh. "Link saw the ransom note and is now on his way here!" She went into the dungeon to tell Tilkate and Zelda the "good" news. "Guess what, Princess? Your hubby saw the note and is on his way here." She smirked. "No." Zelda sighed. "Oh, what's the matter, Princess? You wanted to see your husband didn't you?" Abesh asked sarcastically. "You'll never win, Abesh!" Tilkate exclaimed. "What's to stop me? Zelda can't use her powers and when Link gets here, I'll block his power and have my army kill him." Abesh explained. "I don't understand! How did you get such an enormous army?" Zelda asked. "Two words, Zelda. Brain wash." Abesh answered. "Brain washed?" Zelda asked. "Yep, I capture different people and brain wash them. Just think, all of my army are your loyal subjects." Abesh mocked. "Why you slimy piece of---!" "Temper, temper." Abesh interrupted. Zelda just sat there and glared at the evil queen. She felt so helpless. She couldn't use her powers and she was trapped inside an uncomfortable and very dirty dungeon cell. And to make things worse, Link was on his way the save her. She wanted him to stay at the castle where he was safe. Now she knew how her father and Impa felt when she ran away. Abesh grinned evilly. "Don't worry, this will all be over soon."
