The Legend of Zelda:
Dark Link's Revenge
Chapter 1: Escape from Hyrule Castle
Time in Hyrule has changed since the Golden Age. The Royal Family left Hyrule for a vacation. They never returned. On the day the sun was red, fire devastated the land. The castle was gone. When it was over, the people rebuilt the town. By this time, they had forgotten about the Royal Family. And now, in this modern time, the Royal Family never existed. This is where the story begins. . .
Hyrule Middle School
2002, May 6
10:42
In a building, in a classroom, a class works on learning the Zora language. The room was decorated with anything and everything that related to the Zora race. All is quiet until, "This sucks," says a Hylian boy well known as Will. "Why are we doing this work?!" he yells.
The teacher, a young Zora, walks over to him. "You are disturbing the class," she said to him in a soft voice.
"Yeah, what's it to you?"
"If you don't quiet down I will send you to the principal's office."
Will snickers. "Go ahead."
"I'm warning you."
He is used to these arguments, a boy named Li A. Time. Li is a tall, skinny, Hylian boy who is picked on for being different; he is used to this too. He has long blond hair, blue eyes, and wears glasses. He has the mind of a shy five year old boy and is the last person you would think could save the world. On the other hand, he is someone you can turn to for a problem. He is nice and would always defend someone who is weak. But he won't fight unless he has to. He always says, "Martial Arts is for defense, not to hurt people."
"If you don't be quiet-," but she was unable to finish because of the bell. All of the kids left for their next class.
He was usually one of the first few in class at this time. He enters and looks around, like he always does. He sees that some of the kids were there including Zoe. Zoe and he have been friends since they could remember. Zoe was special to him. In some ways, Li feels that there is some kind of connection between them. Still pondering this, Li goes on and sits in his seat next to her. Little do they know, their lives are about to change.
The bell rings as the teacher enters. The teacher is an old, Hylian lady with a fair kindness. "All right class," she said, "lets continue where we left off. Turn to page 127. Who would like to start?"
. . .
"They always get their way," said Li at lunch later in the day. He was talking to Zoe, who he sits with everyday. He was revering to Will and his gang in class. They had made him read first. Li wasn't the best reader in the world and the kids pick on him for that. Li was eating a lot slower than usual.
"Yeah," Zoe replied. "Why don't they just leave you alone."
"'Cause they need to pick on someone."
"I thought after that incident with Joey would make them leave you alone."
"Please. I was a fool. They know I won't snap like that until five years from now."
"Nay. They ain't that smart." With that, she turned her attention to a kid who wasn't so bright.
'At less they don't pick on him as much as I do.'
This boy was acting weird as usual. Li paid him no mind. Li reached for his milk and started drinking. When he finished his milk, for some strange reason he felt sleepy. He laid his head down and fell asleep.
. . .
The next thing Li knew, he was in a bed. In the beginning, he assumed that he has just arisen from a long sleep. But when he sat up he saw that he was in a room that was not familiar to he. At the foot of the bed was a door. Beside it was a desk with bags, bombs, and other items of curiosity. A sign, which hangs above the desk, read:
"If ye is to depart, take a weapon to defend thee."
Swords, shields, and bows a line the walls. A closet could be seen on the opposite wall along with a chest. There was only one window which can see far and wide.
He got out of the bed and noticed that shorts was the only item on he. He went to the chest and opened it. Seeds, sticks, and bottles could be found in it but nothing else. He then went to the closet. There he would find clothes. Though they were just green tunics, he placed them onto he. The brown boots covered his feet.
Folly dressed, he walked to the window. In the window was nothing more or less but a giant labyrinth.
He started for the door when he saw the Tryforce above it. The Tryforce was gold and in the shape of three triangles. Thinking it may be safer to take a sword and shield, Li took one of each off the wall. He then opened the door and went out. He was now in a hallway with a door in front of him and a door to his right. He tried both doors to discover they where locked. He then turned and walked down the hall.
As he went on, he felt that someone was following him. He turned and found no one. He continued and so did the feeling. Still, no one was behind him. The feeling followed him down the hall, even when he broke out into a run. The faster he ran, the stronger the feeling came. He ran with all his might, turning corners, and not stopping. Until. . .BANG! Li was unable to slow down in time and ran into someone.
"Why don't you watch where you're going, you. . .," he started, but stopped suddenly at the sight of who he ran into. It was a beautiful girl of about his age. She had blond hair and wore a beautiful dress. Thou would think she was a princess at the sight of her. "I'm sorry miss," said Li quickly, " I wasn't watching where I was going." "Are you all right?" he asked as he helped the lady up.
"Yes," answered the shook-up girl. "Don't worry about it, I wasn't paying attention either."
Li was then shocked that she looked familiar. In curiosity, he asked, "May I ask who you are?"
"My name is," she hesitated, "is Zelda."
"Nice to meet you, Zelda. My name is Li. You seem familiar, but, forgive me, I would like to stay and chat, but I must be going."
"Yes, me too," said Zelda slowly. "Bye."
"Bye." Li continued but much slower, still watching her. He was being watch by her until she ran off down a one path. He started running too, for his instincts told him something is not the way it should be.
He came apon a room with a red carpet that led to four thrones. Amazed at the room, Li walked forward taking in every little detail of the room. When he reached the thrones, however, he heard footsteps coming and voices. Zelda appeared with a tall lady of middle age. Panic struck; he ran to the nearest door and opened it. The hall had two doors, one on each side. Left. He entered to find the room he awoke in.
'Oh great,' thought he. 'I'm trapped, like a rat. I hate rats.' He turned and opened the door to a crack. Beyond the door was Zelda and the tall lady.
"I don't know, Zelda," said the tall girl, "I don't think he's the one."
"He is the one, Impa. I'm sure of it."
"But Zelda. . ."
"Don't worry, Impa, I will test him to see if he is. He looks exactly like the one from my dream. He is the one. He acts just like him."
"You can't be serious Zelda."
"Impa, give him a chance. You gave Link a chance."
"I knew Link was to be the one." She looked at the door and their eyes met. "You're sure?"
"Yes, Impa."
"All right. Be careful, Zelda."
"What you can't trust me?!" They stood there looking at each other. "Opps."
"You see, Impa?"
"All right." With that she left.
"Li, enter." They stepped into the room and closed the door. "Li, you are a brave little boy. I think you are the one, but I must make sure."
"What about this Link character? Did you give him a test?"
"Yes. There was no way he could see me if he didn't pass the guards. But that's not the point. You still need to be tested. You will have to make it out of the castle and head to the Temple of Time. Guards are all over the castle. Fight them off and continue out. If they capture you, it's over. You will return to the future."
"You mean I'm in the past?!"
"Yes."
"I don't want to go back to the future. I rather be here."
"Li, this is serious. When you get out of the castle, go to the Temple of Time and pull out the Master Sword. You will need it in your main goal. If you fail, you will go back to the future."
"Oh, come on. Can't I stay here?"
"No. You know too much about the future. Besides, I know you will pass the test. Li, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand. I still don't see why I can't stay."
"Li! Li, when I leave, count to five and exit this room; that will give me time to get out of here. From there, you are on your own."
"Well, thanks."
"Don't mention it. Oh, by the way. If you lose, I'm going to beat you up."
"You said like a friend that I know." His close friend Zoe is the one he refers to.
"Good luck." She exits.
"Thanks. I mostly like 'Break a leg' better. I'm an actor not a. . .ah. . .person who is trying to exit a castle in style. . .guy. Anyway, how long has it been?. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .What she don't know will kill her. Ok, here goes." Li opens the door and steps out. "So far so good." He looks around and noticed the door to the throne room. "The throne room is always close to the exit. This is going to be easy." He tries the door. "What?! It's locked?! It's locked on this side!! Man! That means I have to look longer!" He starts down the hall but, unlike before, a little more cautious.
Left, Right, Left, Right, the halls seemed endless. "So much for gua. . ."
"Halt!!"
". . .rds. 'Bout time." Li draw his sword and shield. "Strange, this seems some how familiar. No time to pander that now. I have company."
Three guards ran up to him, swords in hand. One attacked right away. Li stopped the attack with his sword. Using his shield, he pushed the guard away. He slashed at a guard coming at him from the side. The guard got a flesh wound. He dropped to one knee.
"What's that for?"
"He is considered 'defeated,' under Zelda's orders," said one of the guards Li blocked. "Don't want to. . ." Li knocks him down, "lose men."
"That's no fun."
Another guard attacked. Li slashed at him and defeated him. "Too easy."
"It will be harder in your goal. Good luck. We're rooting for you."
"Thanks." Li ran off to find the exit.
Quiet quickly, Li ran into more guards. He defeated them as quickly as he ran into them. After many more attacks, he found a pair of giant doors.
"I hope this is the exit." He grabbed hold of the door handle and pulled the door open.
And then he saw a bright light, sunlight. . .
