Chapter 4: Testing the OcaLorean

Yes, welcome back to The Legend of the Future: OcaLorean of Time. Don't worry about being confused, all you have to do is watch Back to the Future and everything will become... clear. I know that the DeLorean isn't blue like the Ocarina of Time, but still, in the parallel story to this, Back to the Zelda: DeLocarina of Time, the DeLocarina is stainless steel. Remember, everything is switched. And I mean it. Everything.

Link was getting situated in his new room for the time being, constantly looking around and noticing new things, like a poster of a band called "Huey Lewis and the News" on the wall. Since he didn't have his Ocarina with him, and he knew that playing music–any music–would help him to relax in this new dimension. Waiting for the time that Rauru has specified to leave his house and get to Twinrova Pines Mall was a complete drag. He turned on the radio, but heard nothing but strange, loud music coming from it. All that did for him was to aggravate the headache he had. He saw that the person who was the original resident of this room, or was it him, had a strange instrument. He picked it up, and plucked at the strings for a few minutes. Soon enough, Link was actually able to play a few songs that were familiar to him on his Ocarina, such as Saria's Song. It sounded different, yet the same. All he knew was that it had the same effect.

"Hello?" the guitar said out of its strings.

"Um, hi, Saria?" Links replied to the guitar. Though he had talked to the Ocarina many times before coming to this place, it still felt strange to talk to an instrument which he didn't know what it was.

"Who is this?" the guitar answered back. Apparently Saria didn't recognize Link like Rauru did. Maybe it had something to do with this alternate world. Maybe if he gave her a gentle reminder, she'd remember. "It's me, Link!"

"Link, as in Link Strauss from back in 1955? How've you been?"

"No, no." Link said, not yet knowing just what she was talking about. "Link, Ruto's uh... son."

"Oh. Okay. How has Ruto been, anyway?"

"She's been fine. Uh, well, I've gotta go, but it's been nice talking to you again, Saria." And with that, Link disconnected the guitar. Being that it was already 12:28, Link got onto the strange board with wheels that would have to serve as Epona in this world, and took off for Twinrova Pines Mall.

At Twinrova Pines Mall, Link saw just why it was called that: the two pine trees on the sign weren't green, but instead the left one was red and the right one was blue. At least it made sense. Link took his skateboard and walked down to the parking lot, where Rauru and the OcaLorean were waiting.

"Link, I hope that you're ready for this." Rauru handed him a camera. "I want you to document this experiment for me."

"Rauru, how do you know that this car will actually travel through time?" Link asked after he had set up the camera.

"Just a hunch, that's all. Okay, here we go." Rauru put the car into automatic drive, and used his remote control to send it to the other side of the parking lot, speed it up, and then let it go. Unknown to them, Ganon was waiting behind the mall's sign, looking for the perfect moment to strike. He too saw the Ocarina-colored DeLorean speed towards Rauru and Link, nearly hitting them both before it flashed a bright blue and disappeared! Bewildered at the sight of a car like that disappearing into thin air, Ganon changed back into his human form, Ganondorf. He was going to find out just what Rauru did, and get the Triforce to wish on.

"What did I tell you?" Rauru shouted, "That's the Triforce's power!"

Link looked at where the OcaLorean had been, and realized just what happened. Rauru had made time travel possible, using nothing more than a strangely colored DeLorean and the Triforce. Link knew that this definitely had something to do with the Ocarina of Time, and that now he'd have to somehow get it back with the OcaLorean.

"Rauru! That's what I've been saying, you have to help me and the rest of the people in this town get back to our homes in Hyrule! You have the only way!"

"Well, Link, if it's that important, I can just let you wish on the Triforce as soon as the time machine makes it back from its–" Rauru looked at his watch and with a gasp, grabbed Link and pulled him out of the way before the OcaLorean crashed into the both of them. Rauru put the auto parking brake on as fast as he could, and he stopped the OcaLorean mere inches before it crashed into a light pole.

"That turned out better than I expected." Link sarcastically said, now loathing the craziness this universe had. He walked slowly over to the OcaLorean, ready to wish them all back to their own universes, when suddenly, a sword blocked his entry to the car.

"Going somewhere, boy?" the owner of the sword said, "I told you I'd show you what happens if you mess with me, kid."

Link reached behind his back to try to ward off Ganondorf, but when he put his left hand over his shoulder all he pulled back was his green tunic. "Bwahaha!" Ganondorf laughed, "A hero without a sword! You're no hero, and this is now my DeLorean. Farewell, 'Hero of Time!'"

"Link, stop him!" Rauru yelled as Ganondorf got into the OcaLorean. Link grabbed at Ganondorf, but it was to no avail. Ganondorf used his immense power to knock Link back to the pavement and drove off, accelerating to 88 miles per hour and disappearing to an unknown time.
