Boy Clad in Green: Novelization

Link's Adventure in Termina

(While still relating to BCiG)

By: Kokeshi088

Author's Note: Almost all of this is done in Link's P.O.V., or his point of view. In this first chapter, I guess he sounds a little bit irritated, but, he is in fact, sleep deprived and confused. Gee, wouldn't you be too?

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Er, I mean, I don't own Link, "The Legend of Zelda" nor do I own all these words and letters. Some (dead.) European dude who invented English does. (For the sake of all us writers.) I also don't own MS Word, Microsoft does, nor do I own Netscape, which is what I saved it on ("save as webpage"). I also don't own Microsoft, because, if I did, then I'd be pretty, no, really rich if I did!

Chapter 1

In the Lost Woods, where the trees grow tall, a boy named Link silently navigates the woods.

A soft crying is heard near him, he turns, and was ready to attack anything that might hurt him..

Link's Point of View

I blinked about once or twice, my heart beating quickly. I could sense a dark presence, as if a shadow was following me. Don't be silly; I'm just tired. There are shadows everywhere in the forest. It was probably just some Stalfos or something.

I heard a rustle, and then a sudden breeze passes me by.

It was just the wind, making the trees moan. Get some sense, Link, it's not like somebody died here, you know.

Another noise

 "Sheesh. It seems like the scrubs are really active today. Must be mating season again." I mumbled irritably.

Being sleep deprived is not fun, you know.

Suddenly, I remembered, my mind all jumbled up from being lost in the Lost Woods. Gee, what a name, because now my mind's lost, too.

What day is it? What time is it? I feel so tired, searching, searching, just searching, and I cannot find it.

What is it am I looking for anyway? Is it in Hyrule or somewhere else…?

It's almost as if I was searching my lost twin. Like that's realistic. Stick to reality, Link.

While I was thinking, looking around, half-awake, half-asleep, I sort of wanted to draw my sword, well, my dagger, actually.

My puny sword… how am I supposed to fight with this? After giving back the Kokiri Sword to Saria, some people in Kakariko forged me a new sword. It was great, then. At least it was my size, but now, it's not the best sword; it's more like a machete or something, now…or it was more like a really long knife. Oh, Din, what was I thinking when I got this thing?

I heard nothing really; my thoughts seemed to be swimming in a whirlpool of confusion.

I kept on hearing something in my head, and from the way it sounded, it was between the howl of a Wolfos and… the bouncing sound of a Tektite. Weird.

I never noticed it when two fairies started teasing Epona.

I looked around my surroundings, trying to clear my mind, "I wonder…" Suddenly, I was thrown back, my mind was screaming, "What the hell was that?!" But, all I saw was black. And then I heard voices… and I ate dirt.

"Good work! Oooh, what is this? Hey, hey! It's an ocarina!"

It sounded like a little kid found my ocarina, but then I heard others, too. They sounded like fairies… when did a kid get two fairies? Is that even possible? One's enough for me, well, back then, I had none. Navi left me now that I'm a Hylian…

"Ohhh, Skullkid, can I play it? Can I, can I?" I think that was one of those fairies.

"Shut up, Tatl, you'll break it." Retorted the other, it sounded as if they were unaware of the fact that I was still conscious.

Then I heard the kid's voice again.

"No, I'll play it! Hmmm… that triangle, hey, cool, this thing has an engraving! Maybe it does something!" He started blowing into the mouthpiece, playing random notes while giggling with glee.

I stood up, spitting the dirt from my mouth, as I saw two flashes of light disappear into the hat of… a Skullkid? I spit more dirt out, and shook my head, and rubbed my eyes in disbelief.

I then opened my eyes again, and the first thing I saw was the ocarina, it was held in his hands, I could just picture those little glowing eyes of his sparkling in delight, but nooo. I saw a mask. It had these glaring orange-green eyes, as if they were waiting for something… I suddenly felt a tinge of pain as I looked at the mask, so, naturally, I blinked.

"Oh? Well, from how stupid you look, I guess you won't be needing that horse!" he taunted.

And well, what do you know? I ate more dirt as the kid jumped onto Epona and galloped away, laughing.

Sheesh, I never thought Skullkids were that fast. I suddenly back snapped into awareness, as the kid made off with my horse. And by instinct I did… well, what seemed most reasonable.

I chased him. Reasonable, huh?

You know, I'm a pretty fast runner, and so, before Epona could hit top speed, I desperately grabbed onto a thick rope, swinging from my food pack.

The Skullkid turned, and I knew I'd see that mask again if I didn't do anything about it, so I closed my eyes, but I felt more pain… and it was not mask-related.

I bounced around on the ground, and then I started skidding, my sides were burning as the dirt flew up in my eyes, I choked on it occasionally, screaming in fear, holding onto the rope.

I mean, would you want this stupid kid make off with your horse, your stuff, and your ocarina? Well, no.

Well, hanging for dear life, skidding on the ground doesn't sound any better, but…

As I skidded, the skull kid laughed, shouting, "Faster, faster, stupid horse, go straight!" Epona must have been really frightened then, to be running like that.

Suddenly, I felt the vibration of a sharp kick into my rope as the Skullkid directed Epona to turn.

As soon as I heard Epona whinny, I was whipped into a tree stump, and let go of the rope.

Damn, I again had to taste the delightful flavor of… dirt.

And mud.
