Prologue:

Link delivered the final blow to the beast that had been the King of Gerudos. The power of the Master Sword cut through his hard dragon-like flesh as if it were butter. Ganon fell, defenseless and beaten. Zelda stepped up to Link and turned towards the beaten Dark Lord. "Now to return you to where you belong..." She said as she sealed him back to the Forgotten Realm. They then stared at the wreck that had once been her beloved castle. As they stood there, tattered and shaken, the ground rumbled and a bright light engulfed them.

Link was young again. He looked himself over; making sure everything was as it had been. He checked his equipment; it was as it had been before he had taken that horrible trip to the future. The only thing different was that he had his Fairy Ocarina. He had given back the Ocarina of Time; it was the key needed to send him back. He had handed it over happily, knowing that his old life would be better than that keepsake. He noticed a glow over a ways and went to check it out, hoping it wasn't anything bad. His small dagger wouldn't be able to fight anything that might have been brought back from the future. He peered over the top of the hill and saw some Kokiri dancing around a campfire. They were all laughing and playing and he quickly ran down and joined them.

"Hey Link! Care to join us?" One of the Kokiri children said, making an unintentional joke.

"Uh...I think I'll pass. I've got some things I need to see," Link said. He tried to fake a yawn but ended up just coughing.

"Fine, your loss," The Kokiri said and continued playing with the others. Link walked back to his tree house and thought for a while.

After a while, he pulled out his Fairy Ocarina and played Saria's song, hoping it would work. He listened afterwards for her familiar voice but just heard the buzzing of Navi at his side. Dismayed, Link left Kokiri Forest.

When Link got outside he looked all around for Epona.

"EPONA!" He shouted after playing her song. Soon he gave up, not even remembering that he didn't have her yet. He sat on a stump outside of the forest and stared up at the bright, shining moon. He hadn't had time to look at it since he had begun his adventure. He had almost forgotten what a moon was. He let out a sigh. He had thought that returning to his old life, having peace, would be great. He wouldn't have to worry about journeys or big ugly monsters; he could just enjoy life. But now Saria was gone, and he didn't know why. He was back to being a little kid, and he had nothing to do. He got up and kicked the stump.

"I see you are quite dismayed little boy..." an eerie voice said behind him.

"Who's there?" Link said, not turning around in fear of what lay behind him.

"Why, turn around and look, don't worry, I don't bite...much," The voice cackled. Link turned around quickly and pulled out his sword. The thing that was now in front of him smirked.

"Please, put away your weapon, that little knife couldn't even hurt me. But no worries, there's no need to. I'm here to help you. I see that you need excitement in your life...adventures! Well, tonight is your lucky night...that is, if you choose for it to be." The thing grabbed Link's hand and they both disappeared.
