Link eyes fluttered open. It was rather dark, but he could still see enough to realize that he was in the Temple of Time. His head hurt and as he sat up, the room began to spin. He put out his hands to steady himself and slowly got to his feet. 'Wow... this room seems a lot smaller then I remember...' He thought.

"Hey! Link! Look at yourself, you're all grown up!" He heard something say off to his right. It was Navi, the annoying little faerie he had tried so many times to dispose of.

Link brought is hands up to his face; they DID seem a lot bigger. He felt his face. Also larger, and more formed as well. He took a cautious step forward. He tottered and understepped, causing him to stumble forward and struggle to stay on his feet. Navi flew after him and frantically asked him to sit down. He did. It was almost impossible for him to stay on his feet. He head started to spin. He was vaguely aware of people talking to him, a medal being placed in his hands, then everything got silent again. Navi buzzed next to ear, urging him to stand up again.

Once again, he slowly got to his feet, using the Master Sword to balance himself 'The MASTER SWORD?!!?' He suddenly realized what he had been holding this whole time and fell heavily to his butt again. "When did I get THIS?!" He asked excitedly, holding up the huge sword.

"Don't you remember?" Navi replied. "You pulled it from that pedestal and that's when you fell asleep."

"I feel asleep? How long have I been sleeping?" Link was rather confused and kept running his fingers over the blade of the sword.

"You weren't listening to a single thing Rarue said, were you?" Navi scolded

Link shook his head; "I didn't hear a single word."

Navi chattered loudly to herself, obviously quite angry. Link couldn't understand a word she said, but didn't really mind, he was so enchanted by the sword laying in his lap. Soon Navi stormed over to him and got up right in his face. "Link! Sometimes I wonder why it chose you! When you pulled the Master Sword from that pedestal, it chose you; you became the Hero of Time. But since you were only ten years old, you weren't mature enough to undertake such a monumental task. So the Sages put you to sleep, they separated your soul from your body and allowed your body to mature for seven years. Link, you're seventeen years old!"

Link simply stared, dumbfounded, at Navi for a few seconds, then something struck him as very funny. He began to laugh hysterically. Soon he was rolling on the floor of the temple in hysterics. "Seventeen! You've got to be kidding me! I'm seventeen?! And my body matured into that of a seventeen year old?!" He howled. He staggered to his feet and this time was able to stay standing. He looked down at what he was wearing; the same old green tunic, obviously larger, but someone had put a pair of cream colored tights on him. "Who changed my clothes?" He asked

"Um... a temple attendant." Navi replied.

"Was she hot?" He twisted around, trying to look at his butt.

"HE, Link, it was a boy, about your own age. And yes, he was, as you put it, 'hot'"

"Oh." Link didn't seem to mind. Actually, his attention had been diverted elsewhere. He had lifted up the bottom of his tunic, pulled the tights away from his body and was looking down his pants. A look of extreme excitement crossed his face and he began to grin. "Navi! You've got to see this! I used to think it was kind of small, but man! I was wrong! Look at this!" He turned around and dropped his pants. Navi shrieked and flew to another part of the temple, trying not to look. Link shrugged and put his 'manhood' back inside his tights. He walked over to Navi and announced that he wanted to go out of the Temple now. She cautiously turned around, saw that Link was fully clothed, and nodded. She led the way out of the Temple of Time and Link followed closely after, sword drawn. Unbeknownst to either of them, a slim, sliver haired boy watched them from a room high in the Temple. When they left, he followed them at a safe distance...
