A/N: oooh, my first fanfic, I feel all fuzzy inside :-) Please tell me what you think! (btw I'm not sure where in the timeline of the LOZ saga this is, all I know is Link is fourteen and struggling a bit emotionally, poor linky!^_^


Link's Infinite Quest

Prologue

Link let all his rage out as he hacked away at the dense undergrowth with his sword, taking his anger out on the bushes and saplings. The leaves crunched under his leather boots. He finally cut through to the base of the mountain, and began to climb. It was easy going at first but began to get steeper and steeper, finally becoming an almost vertical cliff. Link gritted his teeth, made sure everything on him was secure, and began his ascent. About halfway up the rock face he found a small ledge. He stood there for a moment, taking a time to catch his breath and have a drink from his canteen. The fourteen year old warrior looked back over the landscape with eyes that seemed wise beyond there years, taking one last look at the castle, the temples the lake, and the forest. He silently said goodbye, then turned and continued his climb, never looking back again.
