            "LIIIIINK!" Saria's voice rung through my tree house. "Come on, its already 11:30! Time for breakfast!"

            "Uhhhhhhh…" I didn't mind being woken up, I was having another Dark Link nightmare. Of course, that doesn't make me any less sleepy. Maybe I should ignore her fer once and just go back to sleep…

            "GGGGRRRRRRRRGGHHHH" Heh, can't pass up food on an empty stomach.

             I hopped out of bed, put on my undershirt, and then slipped on my tunic and my boots, and strapped on my belt. I'm very glad that my tunic and stuff is one size fit all, or I would've outgrown them a year ago, since I actually grow, much unlike Kokiri who never grew up past the age of eleven.

            Instead, as I found out in that other timeline, that I am in fact a Hylian, given to the Great Deku Tree from a dying Hylian mother during the Great War.

            As I walked towards the tree house door I froze…

            Something is watching me…

            "AAHHHH!" I screamed as I fell to the floor.

            "Hehehehe! I never cease to surprise you, do I Link?"

            "Skull Kid?" It was the skull kid I saved from Majora's Mask a few years ago. After saving him, he decided to tag along and hang out at the Kokiri's part of the forest with me and Saria.

             "Come on sleepy head, let's go over to Saria's and have something to eat!"

            I followed Skull Kid out the door and over to Saria's house.

            "Hi Saria!" I said as we walked through her door.

            "Hey guys, come on in and sit down. Today we're having toast, roasted deku nuts, deku salad, oh yeah, Bruce, you know, one of the know-it-all bros, managed to kill a wild wolfos so we also have some cooked wolfos to eat too."

            "Cool! I haven't had meat in a long time, since most Kokiri are vegetarians."

            "I'll go without the meat," said Skull Kid, "I'm a vegetarian too."

            (Link is sitting playing around with his food with his fork.)

            "What's wrong Link? Not hungry?" asked Saria.

            "GGGGHHHHRRRRRR"

            "No, still hungry." I said. "It's just, something's been bothering me."

            Skull Kid leaned in to listen while Saria motioned with her hand to go on.

            "Saria, since you're the sage of forest, you should remember Dark Link."

            Saria nodded.

            "Well lately I've had nightmares about it. In them I'm in some room in Hyrule Castle probably from the looks of the room, it's sort of blurry then, but I could tell that a man was talking about…" What was he talking about? "Something. I don't really remember. Next thing I know Dark Link is slashing away at me!"             Saria leaned closer in on me and Skull Kid listened eagerly.

            "And what scares me most guys, is that sometimes, my dreams aren't just dreams, they actually happen!"

            "Maybe you should go see Zelda about it." Saria suggested.

            "That's a great idea! Not only will I be where the vision took place, I'll get help on what to do about it from Zelda!"

            I jumped out of my seat and started running out of the house.

            "THANKS FOR THE FOOD SARIA!"

            Saria shook her head. "He's always looking for adventure…"

I picked up my old gilded sword off its rack, swung it a few times pretending to be fighting an invisible enemy. Got my shield, my bow, my ocarina, and all my other gear into that bottomless magic pouch of mine. The Hero of Time was ready for another adventure.
