Chapter 5: The Meeting of Zelda
(It is the next morning. We turn to our heroes and find that they are sleeping in some grass at the center of the market place).
Navi: (wakes up) Egh.what a horrible night. I barely got any sleep last night.
Link: Really? I slept great last night.
Navi: I would've slept better if we had enough money for a hotel room.
Link: tsk tsk.Navi.this is supposed to be an adventure.we're supposed to be sleeping on the ground.
Navi: Whatever. What are we going to do about breakfast?
Link: I suppose that we can buy something. (gets out a large pouch filled with rupees.
Navi: LINK! Where did you get all of that money?
Link: I brought it from home.
Navi: You mean.. you had the money the ENTIRE time?!
Link: Err.yea. Why?
Navi: WE COULD'VE STAYED IN A HOTEL YOU IDIOT!!!
Link: Really? I forgot that I had this.until we went to bed last night.
Navi: .
Link: I guess we'd better get started for the castle.
Navi: Good idea. Do you think we can get in?
Link: Most likely. I mean.if we couldn't, the Deku Tree wouldn't have sent us.
Navi: I think I see the path to the castle.
(Navi and Link both start walking down the road that leads to the castle gates and run into a red haired girl).
Link: Wow.who are you?
Girl: My name is Malon. I'm looking for my father. He came here to deliver some milk tot the castle yesterday and he hasn't returned. He probably fell asleep somewhere.
Link: I'm going to the castle right now. I can see if I run into him.
Malon: Oh would you?! I'll give you this egg to help you out.
Link: Oh.an egg. What a good idea!
Malon: Of course! Now go find my dad.and Link?
Link: Yes Malon?
Malon: I'll need my cucco back after it hatches from its egg.
Link: Okay. When shall I give it to you?
Malon: Come done to Lon Lon Ranch sometime. It's not far from the castle.
Link: Alright.I must be going now. Bye.
(Link and Navi start heading towards the gate that blocks the castle's entrance when they heard a familiar voice).
Voice: I see you finally made it to the castle.
Link: That voice.it sounds so familiar.
Navi: Link.don't look up.
Link: (looks up) AAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! It's Kaepora Gaebora!!
KG: That's right! I am stalking you Link. I am watching your every move!
Link: (Is shaking).
KG: Right now you are at the gates of Hyrule castle.
Navi: Yea.we kind've guessed that.
KG: But.unfortunately you have to sneak in.
Link: Really now?
KG: Yes.but you should be able to do that. You're a very smart kid.
Navi: (snickers)
KG: Make sure the guards don't catch you.
Link: Are you done talking to us yet?
KG: Do you want me to repeat what I said?
Link and Navi: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
KG: Okay then. I'll be seeing you two later. BWAHAHAHAHA!!! (flies off)
Navi: Alright.lets get this over with.
Link: I saw some vines near Malon. We can climb up them and sneak onto the castle grounds.
(Link and Navi find the vines and climb up them. The manage to sneak up to the castle where they find a man sleeping on the ground).
Link: Who is this?
Navi: Must be Malon's father.
Link: Hey mister! Wakeup!! (kicks the man).
Man: (snores)
Navi: What a heavy sleeper.
Link: (kicks him again) Why won't he wake up?
Navi: Use the egg Malon gave you.
Link: Pft.right Navi.how is an egg going to help? (feels a slight movement in his pocket).
Navi: Something is moving in your pocket.
Link: I know.It's.it's the chicken.
Navi: Cucco.
Link: Whatever. It hatched!!
Navi: Great! Now wake him up with it!
Link: How?
(The Cucco lets out a loud crow and the man awakes with a start).
Man: What in tarnation!
Link: Errr.Hello sir.
Man: Hello Lad.why did you so rudely wake me up from a peaceful sleep.
Link: Um.do you have a daughter named Malon?
Man: Uh oh.I completely forgot about her. She is going to be upset with me!! (runs off screaming).
Navi: Interesting.shall we continue?
Link: It looks like we are at a dead end Navi. There is nowhere to go.
Navi: There's a hole in that waterfall in front of you.
(Sure enough, there is a small waterfall on the side of the castle with a small hole in the stone.small enough for a child to go through it).
Link: I can't go in there! Tight spaces make me queasy!
Navi: yea yea.just get your butt in there. (Gives link a small push).
Link: (squeezes into the hole and eventually makes it out) Okay.we made it Navi. Now where do we go?
Navi: How should I know? I'm only guessing.
Link: WHAT?!
Navi: Just go straight into the courtyard and try not to get caught by the guards.
(Link and Navi eventually makes it through most of the courtyard and only have a few more guards to sneak past by).
Navi: Listen Link.there are two ways to get passed them. There is the short way and the long way. I advise you to go the long way because you most likely won't get caught.
Link: Navi.I'm not wasting my time. I'm going the short way. (heads off).
Navi: (whispering) LINK! NO! The guards will see you.they are right there!
(Link unfortunately ignores Navi and a guard nearby spots him trying to sneak by).
Guard: HEY YOU! STOP!
Navi: Oh shit! Run!
Link: (begins to run)
Guard: Awww kid don't make my job harder then it is! (Chases after Link).
Link: What are we going to do Navi?
Navi: If you had listened to me, we wouldn't be in this predicament!
Link: Maybe we can hide. We are coming up to a garden. There is bound to be a hiding place in here somewhere.
Navi: Quick! Jump into the water!
Link: (jumps into a small moat nearby and ducks underwater).
Guard: Dammit! I lost him. Oh well.what my superiors don't know won't hurt 'em. (Walks away whistling innocently).
Navi: Whew.that was a close one.
Link: Hey.who's that over there? (points to a girl standing nearby).
Navi: I don't know. But she hasn't seen us yet.
Link: Shall we ask her where the princess is?
Navi: That's a good idea.
(Navi and Link approach the girl who is too busy looking in a window to notice them).
Navi: Excuse me.
Girl: (turns around) EEK! HOW DARE YOU SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT!!
Link: Errr sorry. We're just looking for somebody.
Girl: Who are you looking for and how did you get passed my guards?
Link: YOUR guards?
Girl: Yes MY guards. I happen to be Princess Zelda. They were guarding me.
Link: While you play Peeping Tom?
Zelda: I was NOT playing peeping tom. I was looking at someone. Now.why are you here?
Link: We needed to talk to you about something. The Deku Tree sent me here.
Zelda: You're from the forest??
Link: Yea.I'm a kokiri.
Zelda: I thought the Kokiri dies if they leave the forest.
Link: That obviously ain't true now is it?
Zelda: Hmm. You don't happen to have the Kokiri Emerald by any chance?
Link: You mean this pretty shiny green rock. (Shows Zelda the kokiri emerald).
Zelda: YES! That's exactly what I'm talking about. Perhaps you can help me.
Navi: That's why we're here.
Zelda: I have been having these weird dreams at night. I think it's a prophecy.
Link: Weird dreams will happen if you eat old cheese.
Zelda: I have been having these dreams for the last several weeks every night. It involves a man who wants to Ocarina of Time to get into the Sacred Realm.
Link: What's the Sacred Realm?
Zelda: The Sacred Realm is a sacred place. It holds the triforce. The Ocarina of Time is the key to get there.
Navi: I see.
Zelda: In my dream, a man was after the Ocarina. The man's face was shadowed and I could not make out what he looked like.
Navi: Well THAT helps us out a lot.
Zelda: I do believe that it represents a man named Ganondorf. He is actually at the castle right now. I was watching him through this window.
Link: (peeks in the window and sees a man bowing) Why is his face green?
Navi: (shrugs) Why do you think the man in your dream is Ganondorf?
Zelda: I said I didn't see his FACE. I did see his clothes and he's the only person in Hyrule who would actually dress like that.
Navi: How shall we help?
Zelda: Well.I want you to collect the other two spiritual stones. They are another step in opening the door of time and getting to the sacred realm.
Link: Door of time?
Zelda: I'll explain it when you bring the other two stones back. OH! I almost forgot. (gets out a pad of paper and starts writing something on it) you will be needing this note that I am writing.
Link: What for?
Zelda: I can't tell you.
Link: Why not?
Zelda: Because I'm supposed to make life for you hell. You have to figure everything out on your own even though I can tell you everything.
Navi: (mumbles) Lazy ass.
Zelda: Now get the hell out of here before I call my guards. My attendant will escort you out.
(Near the entrance of the courtyard, a muscular woman named Impa is waiting for Link and Navi)
Impa: I guess I better escort you out of here.
Link: (winks at Impa) I don't mind.
Navi: (smacks Link's head) LINK!!
Impa: Before we leave, I need to teach you a song. It will help you on your quest.
Link: FINALLY! It's about time I put this damn instrument to use.
Impa: Errr yea. The Royal Family has passed down this song for years. (Plays the song on a whistle) Now play it on your ocarina.
Link: (plays the song but does a bad job of it) Wow! I am the master of the Ocarina!
Impa: Err yea. Lets just get out of here.
(A minute later, we see the trio standing outside of Hyrule castle).
Impa: Do you see the stairs leading up the mountain straight ahead? That's kakariko village. That's where I was born and raised. That's where your adventures will begin Link.
Link: That's cool. Are you going to escort us there? (winks)
Impa: Ummm No.just go. (throws down a pebble sized ball and vanishes)
Navi: Okay.this is where our adventure starts Link. Lets go.
(It is the next morning. We turn to our heroes and find that they are sleeping in some grass at the center of the market place).
