Link's Christmas
Chapter 2

Link climbed out of the hole. He looked up at the clouds. Thick, black clouds. Funny... it had always been sunny in Hyrule for as long as he could remember. hmmm... was it a sign? had Ganon returned?
Suddanly, white flakes began to fall from the sky. it tool Link a minure before he realized what it was. It was snowing! In hyrule! Snow! Falling! From the Sky! Snow!
This was getting a bit too weird for Link. He decided to go someplace more... normal. Someplace that would never change. Someplace Link thought could never be touched. Someplace like... Lon Lon Ranch!
Link dared not even LOOK at what may have happened to the Ocarina of Time in his pouch. Instead, he walked to Lon Lon. He knew he could get Eponia there rather than call her. Besides, the snow was cold, much too cold for a horse. To his surprise, Link found that his brown gauntlets had been replaced by warm black gloves, and that his tunic had a warm fur lining. He was surprised to find that he was not cold at all, unlike when he had been in Goron City, Termina, when it was frozen solid. He shrugged it off and went to Lon Lon Ranch.
"MALON! MALON!" he called out at the gates. "MALON!"
She came out. "What's the matter?"
"Oh, Malon, something weird is happening. I found this tunic, and it won't come off, and the Master sword's turned into a cane-shaped candy, and... and..." he trailed off. There was something odd about Malon.... aside from the new green dress, with the glittery flowers along the bottem... something about her face.... she seemed smaller than normal... and her face.... her chin was pointier... and her ears... they were.... POINTED!
"Malon.... have you ALWAYS had pointy ears?"
She looked at him oddly. "Of course, boss."
"BOSS?!?!?"
"welll, you ARE the big boss. Or should I call you Nick?"
"it's LINK! LINK!"
"Fine, Saint Link."
"ARGH!"
"So, i suppose you want to see the livestock, huh?"
"er,... yeah, sure. I need a steed."
"Alright. This way, saint Link."
Link followed Malon out to the snow-covered corral. Inside were a bunch of brown-furred snow-covered animals. They stood up and shook the snow off of them. They had no manes... and they had... ANTLERS?!?!
"ANTLERS?!?!"
"Of course! Raindeer ARE supposed to have them, you know."
"RAINDEER?!?! What happened to horses?!!?"
Malon gave him a LOOK. "HORSES?!?! That's hardly practical, under the circumstances."
"under the circumstances? WHAT circumstances?!?! Malon, what's going on here?"
"why, christmas of course!"
"Christmas...?"
"yeah! duh!Now come on and see your favorite. She's missed you."
"Ahh, Eponia. I bet she has!"
Malon led him over to a stable as she kept talking. "Yup. She's been training pretty hard."
"training?"
They had reached the stable. Link glanced in at Eponia, noting and choosing to ignore her red shiny nose.
"Try her out!"
Link hopped on Eponia and kicked her into a gallop. A very.... interesting.... gallop... as in she galloped THROUGH THE AIR!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Saint Link! COME BACK!"
Bt it was too late. He rode eponia over Hyrule, through the snow.
