Chapter 1
With a final swing of his sword, Link, the Hero of Time, defeated Ganondorf. Ganondorf's evil had reigned for seven long years in Hyrule and finally, peace would return. The Sages locked the evil Ganon in an alternate realm where he would remain forever. Link returned to his own time and continued his life as if none of this had happened. But there was one thing none of them knew; Ganondorf had a son, Garon. Ganondorf had planned to raise Garon to help him conquer the world. But after Ganondorf's defeat, he was left alone.
Garon actually grew up during the seven years when Ganondorf ruled over the land and had helped his father come up with a lot of the schemes used against Link. But since his father was now locked in a realm, he was not there in the time Link had returned to. Garon had no memories of evil, no memories of hating Link. Now at the age of 13, he had no idea of what to do. To him, his father just disappeared one day. Ganondorf had not introduced his son to evil until he reached the age of sixteen, when his evil powers would have begun developing. Garon roamed the land searching and searching but always coming up with nothing.
He searched for months until he came upon a town known as Mopalo Village. Here a family who realized he was an orphan in need of a caring family took him in. He kept to himself; sleeping in the room they provided most of the time. The family that took him in included a married couple, Koju and Saron, and their 14-year-old daughter Crystal. They did all they could to lift his spirits but he just wanted to be alone with his thoughts.
After 3 months it was time for school to begin. All kids of Mopalo village were sent to Kakariko Village each day for school. Mopalo is too small a town to provide a good education for the kids. There are only about 5 kids total in the town. Garon and Crystal had to leave so Garon finally came out of the house. A large carriage arrived filled with other kids and Garon and Crystal got inside.
On the ride to Kakariko, Crystal asked Garon many questions but Garon still would not talk to her. She wished he would talk so she could figure a way to help him. When they arrived, Garon and Crystal began the walk to the school, but Garon sneaked away. Crystal noticed this and followed behind him. Garon began walking in the direction of Kakariko Graveyard. Crystal had no idea why he would want to go there. The reason Garon was going to the graveyard was because it was one place he had not been to yet in the search for his father. He thought he might find the grave of his father there. He believed then that his father could have been killed and buried there without his knowing. Although it was a long shot, he decided to check anyway. Crystal followed. She hid behind a large gravestone while watching Garon's every move. She watched as he checked every gravestone. She then decided to approach him and ask him why he was there.
Garon was startled by her and asked why she was following him. She explained how she saw him walk away from the other kids and to the graveyard and asked him why he was there. Garon said it was none of her business. She said she could help him if he would talk to her. Garon didn't trust her. He yelled at her to leave him alone and he ran away from the graveyard. Crystal ran after him. She saw him running up the Death Mountain Trail. She knew it was very dangerous to travel the path alone so she ran up the trail too. When she finally got to him he was unconscious. Knocked out by the attack of a swarm of Red Textites, creatures that inhabited most of Death Mountain. She quickly pulled out her slingshot and killed most of them and the rest fled. She didn't know what to do. She couldn't carry him all the way back down to Kakariko Village. It was too far away and she would collapse from exhaustion before she reached even half way there carrying Garon.
Crystal looked around and spotted light coming out of a cave nearby. She picked up Garon and carried him there. She looked around and couldn't believe her eyes. She was in Goron City. Goron City, although it was known throughout the land, not many actually could find it. And after an attack by Ganondorf about a year before, the Gorons went to extreme measures to hide away the entrance to their city. They had asked a Great Fairy to cast a spell so only people who were truly meant to find the city could find the entrance. She laid Garon down and then began to look for help, but there really wasn't any. All of the Gorons were curled into a ball and sleeping. She traveled down many flights of stairs never being able to wake a single one of the Gorons she came upon. She then finally reached the bottom floor and entered a dark room. A rough and scary voice asked her who she was and why she was in Goron City. Crystal explained her situation.
