It's Zelda's Turn!

The Switch

Chapter 3

Day One: Morning

Zelda

Zelda awoke early to the crowing of a rooster. 'Who let chickens into the castle?' she pondered, when she realized that she wasn't in the castle at all. Worried that she had been kidnapped, Zelda ran to the window. Looking outside, she could just barely make out Hyrule Castle over the wall's outer edge. Considering where she was relative to the castle, 'This must be Lon Lon Ranch!' Noticing a letter on the bed she awoke in, Zelda thought of her wish the night before. Inside the envelope was a letter:

Dear Zelda,

Your wish has been granted. You are now the daughter of the owner of Lon Lon Ranch. Inside this envelope, you will find a necklace. Wear this necklace at all times, for it will allow you to pass for one who has lived this way for her whole life.

Also, it is important that you do NOT go to Hyrule Castle while you are in this life. Should you have no choice, try to avoid the princess, although not to the point of being rude, disrespectful, or unlawful, and do NOT, under any circumstances, mention this to anybody, especially to the princess.

Inside the envelope was a necklace shaped like the Triforce. Zelda put it on and prepared for her day.

After eating a quick breakfast, Zelda went outside to the stables, with no particular purpose in mind. As she walked, she thought about how different things would be, and already were. Zelda knew that the ranch owner had had a daughter before now, and wondered where she was. Something strange was going on here, and Zelda wasn't sure she liked it, but for now she would just go on living the life she had so abruptly been dropped into.

Yeah, this chapter was kind of lame, but it's a lot easier to write about Hyrule Castle than Lon Lon Ranch. Or maybe I just like Malon more and it's a subconscious sort of thing. Either way, to be fair to anyone crazy enough to read and like this fic, I'll try to write more about Zelda, and by more I mean more than I am now, not more than about Malon.
