The King of Hyrule looked out the window from his room. The market square was empty now, and the festival of the Hero of Time was ruined. "Man, this is a bad day," he thought to himself. Just then his bedroom door flew open and George, his general, walked in. "We've searched the town and no more Gerudos have been found. There were two male Gerudos in the market earlier, but they are gone now. I never thought that there could be more than one male Gerudo at a time. Strange, isn't it?" The King sighed and walked over to George. "I have a feeling that strange things are going to happen today," he said. "No, really?" thought George, remembering his incident with the Gerudos earlier today. "Well, I'm assembling the army. We're heading to the desert to demand an explanation from the Gerudo people." George stood up and left the room. The king sat down on his bed and stared off into the distance. Not more than a second later, his closet door flew open and an assailant leapt out at him. "George!" screamed the king, but another person leapt out of the closet and locked the door to the bedroom. He was trapped.
A Gerudo and two teenagers sat before the three most powerful beings in Hyrule, confused as to why they were there. Din, the Goddess of Power, stood up and addressed them. "I'm sorry to say that you all were caught in the middle of a horrible mistake. We goddesses were trying to bestow the three portions of the Triforce on worthy souls, but as you can see, we messed up. Now, if you would please return the Triforce to us, you will return to Hyrule unharmed." Link sat very still, absorbing all of the information. "You... You mean WE have the Triforce?" "Yes. Now please give it back." Zelda looked at the back of her hand and attempted to rip the marking off, but she couldn't. "It won't come off!" she muttered to herself. "Take it off now or I'LL ROAST YOU ALIVE!" screamed Din, turning bright red with rage. "Go ahead and try, you powerless fool." All eyes turned to the Gerudo male who had just made the remark. "E-Excuse me?" said Din, astonished at his defiance. "I know that the Triforce is a concentration of your power. By giving me your third of the Triforce, I'm now just as strong as you." Din looked at the man with astonishment. "Who are you?" The Gerudo smiled widely and stood up straight. "Remember this, for it is a name you shall always fear. My name is..." "YAAAAWN." The Gerudo's name was inaudible under the deafening noise of Link's yawn. "Now I will use my power to dominate Hyrule! Remember my name!" With that, the Gerudo disappeared.
Farore, who had been watching the whole spectacle from her black leather recliner in the far corner of the room, glared at Link. "Well, I'd remember his name if I had heard it!" she growled at him. "He's apparently the only one who understands his power. You, boy. What's your name?" "Ummm... Link." Farore gasped. "Could... Could you be the reincarnation of the Hero?" Link stood up and puffed out his chest. "Definitely!" Farore was amazed. "If you are the true Hero, you must prove it. I will send you on a preliminary quest to see what you can do." Naryu stood up. "If you are Link, then are you..." "Zelda? Yes," said the blonde-haired girl, "but I don't think either of us are anything special." "Nonsense!" said Din. "We need you both to stop that evil Gerudo! If you can retrieve the master sword from its hiding place, you will prove yourselves worthy. Come back to us with the Master Sword, and we will send you on a Quest to save Hyrule!" Din raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Instantly the two orphans disappeared. Farore walked over to Din, her eyes brimming with happiness. "I can't wait to see what the Hero is capable of!" she whispered to her sister. "We shall see," replied Din, "We shall see."
A Gerudo man covered in black leather appeared in the middle of a thriving town in the desert out of nowhere. He walked towards the temple at the center of town and scaled it in one huge leap. From the top he could see every corner of the town. "People of the Desert!" he screamed, "I am now your king! All bow before me! Let it be known that the name of the Gerudo King is..." "CAAW CAW!!" A flock of crows flew overhead at that precise moment, causing the Gerudo's words to be lost in all the noise. "Fear and obey that name!!!" A Gerudo down at the base of the temple shouted, "Why should we obey you?" The Evil Gerudo looked at him with malice and slowly raised his hand. Fire erupted from the temple and lightning struck the rooftops of buildings. Sparks flew everywhere and the sky turned dark. The foundations of the temple shook vigorously. Slowly, The Gerudo's hand ascended. When it was about level with his scalp, he started scratching his head. "That's a good question," he shouted down to the other man. "Let me think about it!" After a few minutes of thinking, The Evil Gerudo shouted out, "Wait, what am I doing? You will obey me or I will kill you, like this!" He snapped his fingers and the man at the base of the temple fell down dead. Everyone in the city started screaming and running in all directions. "STOP!" yelled the Evil Gerudo, and everyone stopped in their tracks. "Now, form an army! We are going to take over Hyrule!"
George had finally amassed his army and was ready to head to the Gerudo desert. He shouted out an order to march, and the whole army began to head out of the town. George knew what he was going to do: Show up on the Gerudo's doorstep with a full army, demand an apology and scare them enough to prevent them from further assassination attempts against the King. Something just didn't seem right, though. He could see dark clouds swirling over the Gerudo Desert. "No, I'm seeing things," he thought to himself. "I've just got to stay focused."
Zelda and Link appeared in the middle of a closet. Link shoved open the door and fell on top of a very large man. Zelda looked out of the closet and gasped. "That's the King of Hyrule!" Realizing the trouble they would be in if someone found them, she ran over to the door and jammed it shut. "George!" shouted the King. "Help me!" Zelda quickly took control of the situation. "Calm down. We're not assassins. My name is Zelda, and this is Link." The king stood up and looked at them. "What are you doing in here?" he asked. "Well, It's a long story," Zelda said, "but this is how it goes..." Zelda proceeded to tell the whole story of what had happened to them with the Goddesses. "So... you need to find the Master Sword?" the King asked? Link stood up. "Yeah, do you know where it is?" "Well, my family has kept it a secret for 800 years, but... If you really are the reincarnation of the Hero of Time, I'll take you to it. "Link jumped in the air with joy, but hit his head on the low roof. "Oww..." he whined. "Come on, lets go," sad the king, "Out into the hallway and to the left." Link immediately proceeded to walk straight out into the hallway and make a sharp right, smacking into a wall. "Some Hero," muttered the King.
George had finally reached the walls of the Gerudo city late in the afternoon. He walked up to the gate and shouted out with all of his might, "Gerudos! Open this gate and apologize for your assassination attempt on the king or we will destroy your city!" Slowly, the gate began to open. George found himself face-to-face with an army of Gerudos twice the size of his own, each armed to the teeth with every kind of weapon imaginable. "Um... will you apologize?" asked George. The army replied with a loud battle cry that broke the will of every Hyrulean soldier. "Oh. In that case... RETREAT!!!" shouted George. The Hyrulean army did an about-face and sprinted across the fields towards the castle with the Gerudos close behind. Watching from his perch on the top of the temple was the Evil Gerudo. That's right, Hyrule! Fear me! I am..." "Run for your Liiiives!!!!!" A cowardly Hyrulean's scream rendered the Gerudo's name inaudible. "Ha Ha Ha," the Gerudo laughed to himself, "That about does it. Now pretty much everybody in Hyrule knows and fears my name!!"
