-Prologue-
Sometimes, a wish can come true. This story is of such a person who
gets what he wishes for. His name is Mike, he is an avid player of Nintendo's
Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and always wishes that he would be
able to walk in Link's Kokiri Boots for at least a while. But he never
took the phrase "be careful what you wish for, it may come true" to heart.
It all starts on a beautiful spring afternoon in April...
"Ugh," he said to himself, "Another boring day at school.... My life
is wasting away right before my eyes!". He was walking home at 4:00 P.M.
on Wednesday, a typical routine for him. He stopped in his tracks and shuddered
for no apparent reason; to him, something just didn't feel quite right
today. But he ignored the thought and continued walking home. His body
suddenly went cold all over, even though it was nice and sunny out. He
walked faster.
He arrived home sooner than he usually does, and turned on his Nintendo
64 with The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time in it and started
up a new game slot and inputted the name he usually puts in, "Maiku".
He sighed.
"For at least one time, I would like to actually experience what Link
does. But I know that will not happen, this is reality."
The screen went black to signify that the game is going to start. However, this time the screen turned white and exploded into a blue funnel. He jumped back in surprise, toppling backwards off of the black leather chair he sat on and felt like he was getting pulled into the T.V. He grabbed onto the chair to resist getting pulled in. He struggled to keep his grip on the couch, but realized that the suction power was increasing by the second. He lost his grip and grabbed onto the ottoman that is in front of the T.V., the chair gave less of a grip to him, and he was pulled into the T.V., screaming the whole way.

He fell head first through a tunnel of blue light, looking around to things outside the tunnel and upon noticing the layout of Hyrule he realized that he was getting absorbed into the game itself. He found himself in midair in the Triforce. The Triforce glowed in a soft golden light and enveloped him in, he felts his body shrink into that of a kid, his clothing changed from black jeans and a black shirt to a green oversized shirt and brown boots, his ears lengthed into that of elves or Hylians. He lost consciousness.
