ME: The ideas for this story just keep on coming. (Looks around) Hmmm… I wonder where Link is.

(In enters Link and the girls)

ME: There you guys are. I hope you didn't do anything that may raise the rating.

Malon: Nope. But we did have fun.

Link: They had fun. I was tortured.

Zelda: HA! That hardly classified as torture. Watch. (A movie projector appears out of nowhere. It plays a video showing the girls modeling lingerie down a runway. Link is tied to a chair with his eyes taped open. He is screaming his head off for them to stop. *Tape ends*)

Zelda: (in seductive voice) So… who did you like best?

Link: (faints)

ME: OOOkkkkaaaayyyyy. While we try to revive Link, enjoy the chapter.

A.N.: No, Azusasan. Zelda was not brainwashed. Let me explain the story. After OoT, Zelda sent Link back in time to relive his childhood. She sent only Link back to the past. Also, in this story, he was unfortunately sent to another timeline. So the people in this timeline are different than the ones in the game. They have slightly different personalities and also have no experience with Ganondorf yet. In other words, only Link knows about what the future holds when Ganondorf appears. I hope this clears things up for those of you who don't understand.

A.N.#2: This isn't really important. I just wanted y'all to know two things:

1) In this story (and most others that I write) fairies are not just ball of light. They look like humans. They have eyes, hair, clothes (mumbles: "perverts"), etc. They are surrounded by light, which is why they appear that way in the game.

2) Since most people who are reading this have already beaten at least the first 3 dungeons in OoT, I won't go into detail in them. I'll have the Link-Zelda encounter before the Dodongo's Cavern, but besides that there won't be much until after Jabu-Jabu's Belly. The whole story is going to take place while Link's still a kid. Also, the story is going to go somewhere that was never in the game. I have big plans for this story, and you'll have to wait to see. Now, on with the fic!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Legend of Zelda: Save the Past

Chapter 1: Déjà Vu

Link looked at the prize ahead of him. The Triforce.

"Zelda, there it is," Link told his companion.

"You're right," she responded. She then proceeded towards the prize. But before she could get near it, a shadowy figure blocked her way. In one swift move, the mysterious figure knocked her aside, sending her flying a couple dozen feet. The figure's attention then turned to Link.

Link drew his sword as the figure approached. As it approached, the figure took shape. Finally Link realized who it was.

"Ganondorf!" Seconds after saying that, a ball of light was flying towards him. He had no time to react.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Link sat up in his bed. His face was drenched in sweat.

'What was that all about?' he thought. 'I thought Ganondorf was gone. And besides that, the dream is different. What is going on?'

"Link, are you ok?" a voiced asked. "I heard a scream." Link turned towards the door to his tree house. Standing at the door was none other than Saria herself.

"Yea, I'm ok," he replied. Saria didn't believe him.

"Link, I'm your best friend. I know something's wrong. Please tell me."

Link sighed. "Do you remember the story I told you last week?" Saria nodded. "Do you remember how I said that I had those weird nightmares?" he asked again.

"You mean those nightmares are back?" Saria asked worriedly.

Well, yes and no. It's weird, this nightmare is different than the others, but it feels just as real. Also, Ganondorf is in it," Link explained.

"What was this dream about?" asked Saria. She really wanted to help Link out.

"Well, it started with me and Zelda in some giant room. I believe it may be somewhere inside the Temple of Light since the triforce was inside. Zelda was walking towards it when a figure appeared in front of her. It knocked her out of the way and then approached me. It was then I saw that it was Ganondorf. He shot an energy ball at me… and I woke up."

"Maybe it's just your memory of fighting Ganondorf getting the best of you," said Saria.

"Maybe; But the last time I had a dream with both Zelda and Ganondorf in it, it was a premonition to the future. And this one felt just as real as that one did. This may be another premonition. Of course, I hope I'm wrong."

"Me too, Link; me too," Saria yarned. "It's too late to worry about it though. Let's go and get some sleep."

"Good idea, Saria." Link then reached under his bed and pulled out the covers he stored under there. It had gotten chillier than usual that night. He then pulled the covers over himself and closed his eyes.

Saria watched Link from the doorway. He looked so peaceful when he slept. She knew that Link was most likely going to leave soon. She didn't know why, but there was a feeling she had ever since that one night. She began reminiscing of a couple of weeks ago as she walked home.

*~*Flashback*~*

Saria woke up to a strange sound. It sounded like some kind of metal clanging against more metal. She peeked outside her window and took a look outside. Whatever it was, it was heading for the Great Deku Tree. Knowing that none of the Kokiri, not even Mido, went to see him without being summoned by him, she was wondering what was going on.

Saria began walking down the narrow passage to the G.D.T. She stopped at the end and carefully looked. A strange figure was standing in front of the Great Deku Tree. She couldn't make out what it was since it was covered in black. The darkness didn't help much either. The thing seemed to be saying something to the Great Deku Tree (A.N.: Are you getting as sick and tired of reading 'Great Deku Tree' as I am writing it?). Saria couldn't make out what he was saying from her distance. Suddenly, the dark figure raised his arms. A bright glow emitted as it took shape into a ball. Then the figure shot the ball of light at the Great Deku Tree. Upon Impact, the glow soon surrounded the Great Deku Tree for a few seconds.

Saria gasped. During the attack, the light gave her a temporary glimpse at the figure from behind. It looked like a giant Kokiri. He, she guessed, was wearing shiny black armor all over his body up to his neck. The dark man spoke a little while longer before turning around. Saria ran for her house as quickly and quietly as she could. She ran through the curtain door (A.N.: The Kokiri houses have curtain-like sheets in their doorframes in this story. You know, like the ones they had in the old days. This is for privacy and warmth.) and ran onto her bed. She watched the door as a figure cast a shadow on her door. The clank of the metal began to fade as the figure left. Soon it was silent again. Exhausted, Saria collapsed on her bed and immediately went to sleep.

*~*End Flashback*~*

Saria laid down on her bed and began to think. She never really thought of that day until now.

'I bet that guy was Ganondorf. What was he doing here? Could it be possible that Link's story is coming true again? I better warn him in the morning.' Saria then went to sleep.

ME: Chapter 1 is finished!!!!!!!!!!! This is going great.

Link: (groans) What happened.

ME: You fainted after watching that tape.

Link: (scared) Are the girls still here?

ME: No, they went shopping.

Link: Good.

ME: I believe they said they were more clothes for you to see.

Link: Eep.

ME: Just kidding. Until next time…

*Stay cool and see ya later*
