The Legend of Zelda:
Can't Turn the Tide
Disclaimer: I do not own any trademarked characters such as Link, Saria, Zelda, Princess Ruto, but I do own Tamika's name, as well as Tasha's, and Destiny's, too. This story kind of mixes the plot of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time around a little bit, so don't mind anything. This is a very different plot from Ocarina of Time, so, yeah. Enjoy, and review at the end if you feel it's worth the effort. ^_^ Gracias!
Chapter 3:
The Most Unlikely and Unusual Group
We walked in. The place was under attack as Kokiri Forest had been. But this time, the Gorons were being attacked by Gerudos. I saw a Gerudo take the Spiritual Stone of Fire, and run out.
"Hey! There it goes!" Navi exclaimed.
"Catch her!" I yelled. We ran out, and chased the Gerudo. Link, taking out the Fairy Sling Shot that the Deku Tree had given him, pulled it back, and shot the Gerudo right in the leg. The Gerudo howled in pain, and fell to the ground, still holding the stone.
"Give it here," Link said firmly.
"No, you other Gerudos have no right to. wait a minute. That voice wasn't Gerudo." The Gerudo said as she got up. She looked at Link, Zelda, Navi, Tasha, and I.
"Oh, you're not Gerudos. I'm sorry. I'm against my kind for stealing from others, so I steal from them, including jewels and diamonds and riches. I am Tamika." The Gerudo holding the Spiritual Stone of Fire said, relieved.
"Are you a good guy?" Navi asked curiously.
"I guess you could say that. The other Gerudos disapprove of my rebelling, and threaten to destroy me, but I pay them no attention." Tamika said, smiling. "Why are you looking for the Spiritual Stone of Fire anyway?" Tamika got up off the ground.
"We need all the Spiritual Stones to defeat the one evil that is threatening the peaceful land of Hyrule." Princess Zelda began. But, before she could finish, Gerudo guards ran up, with swords in their hands.
"All right, hand the stone over, Tamika. I have no time to deal with a rebel like you." One of the Gerudos stated.
"And let you take over? Never!" Tamika nearly shouted. I covered my ears, but then my eyes popped open. We were all surrounded entirely by Gerudos.
Link took out his sword, and looked determined. Tamika put the Spiritual Stone away, and also took out her sword. I whipped out my Ocarina, and played a quiet song. The Gerudos seemed to fall deep into sleep as I continued playing. They fell to the ground, and continued sleeping as we crept away from the huge place. We ran down the mountain, and rested awhile by the river.
"Hey, if we're looking for all the Spiritual Stones, we should get the Spiritual Stone of Water from the Zoras." Tamika said as she looked up river. She dove in the water, and came back up. "Let's go for a swim. It's mid-day, and I think we deserve a break." Tamika made sure she still had the Goron's Ruby, then dove down again.
I giggled, and dove in as well. I motioned for Link to follow me, and, although reluctant, he dove in, too. Princess Zelda gave us all a weird look, and stayed dry. Although we saw in her eyes, that she, too, wanted to join, she resisted. We tried getting her in quite a few times, but still she shook her head no.
"Okay, but you're missing a lot of fun!" I said as I dove underwater for a look around. When I came up, the others were deep in conversation.
"You guys, we really need to get to Zora's Domain." I heard Tamika say.
"Why?" I asked, wondering what the rush was about.
"We should try to get the other stone. Don't we need to?" Link directed toward Zelda.
"We should be going on our way now." Zelda started. I sighed.
"We just got here, though," My fairy said. I put a finger to my lip to shush her.
"Well, I guess we can go," I said as I got out of the water. Tamika jumped out of water, and Link climbed up. We started toward Zora's Domain. I looked around at the big field around us. As we followed the river, we got to an opening with a sign.
"Zora's Domain." I read. We waded across the river, and went in. apparently, we had to jump over the river, jump it again, and climb up until we got to a huge waterfall. I saw Zelda take out her Ocarina, and play the song of the Royal Family. As she did so, the waterfall opened up to reveal a passageway. We all jumped for it, and in we went.
"This way!" Zelda said as she led us to a room where a big Zora, and the princess of the Zoras were sitting.
The princess gasped, "Who are you and what do you want here?" She said.
"Sorry, Ruto, I'm not sure if you recognize me. I'm Princess Zelda, Princess of Hyrule." Zelda explained.
"Oh, I remember you! You were the one that said we needed to send one of us with the Spiritual Stone of the Waters! Well, I'm going, because I want to see outside of Zora's Domain!" Ruto said in a determined voice.
"I guess." Zelda started.
"You be careful, my dear, don't want you getting lost." The big Zora said.
"Don't worry, Daddy, I'll be fine." Ruto jumped down, and she led us out.
"Okay, we're going to Lake Hylia, so follow me!" Ruto said.
We followed her underwater, and into an opening. When we came out, and got to the surface, we took in deep breaths. When we caught our breath, we swam to shore, and looked at the huge lake. I knew this adventure was going to be a long one, and I knew it was going to be hard. So I braced myself right then and there.
"So, what'd we come here for?" Zelda asked.
"Well, you see, if we need all the stones, we need all the stones." Ruto said.
I gave Ruto a weird look, as she led us to a gate. We climbed over the gate, and look around. We were at a different part in Hyrule Field.
