Past and Future Romance

Ch.3

"Impa where could he be? He was suppose to be here over an hour ago. I hope everything is okay." Zelda said looking as if she were about to cry. Impa put her arms around Zelda and started to hug her in a tight embrace. "There there little one, I'm sure he is fine, but if he isn't here in thirty more minutes, we will send guards to search for him okay?" Impa said patting Zelda's head to comfort her. Zelda had her head on Impa shoulder. "Link please be okay and come back to me." She said to herself.

Slowly opening his eyes, Link looked all around him noticing this wasn't Hyrule anymore. In fact, the place looked very odd looking. Something he had never seen before. He slowly got up and looked around with curiosity in his face.

Then there he was, the same man he seen just a few moments ago walking around panting and talking to himself again. The man hadn't even notice that Link was off the ground staring at him with a deathly stare. Link notice beside him a piece of broken glass with a sharp end to it.

Slowly, Link picked up the glass not to let the old man notice him. A few moments later, Link had the old man pinned to the wall with the glass against his throat.

"Where the hell am I!" Link yelled with a look as if he were about to kill the man. The old man starting getting scared. "Look I'm sorry but this was an honest accident. You weren't suppose to be around me while I came back, just please don't kill me!" The man said with panic in his voice. Link could see the fear in his eyes. He did want to know where he was. Maybe this man could explain everything to him.

Link dropped the knife and sat on a chair. "Speak and tell me where the hell I am before I do cut you up!" Still sounding very furious.

The old man cleared his throat and sat across from Link but not too close to him. "First off I want to apologize for bringing you here. Honestly this wasn't my intentions to bring you here. You see, my name is Larry Hathorn . I'm 43 years old and I'm a scientist. I built a time machine to send me into the past. I honestly didn't believe it would work either.

After I set the year I wanted to go to, I was warped into your country and the year you are living in. When I seen you I and the area I was in, I new it had worked, but unfortunately everything went too fast and that's when you came close to me and we were both warped back to my year."

Link stared wide eyed at Larry. "You mean all what you are saying is true? That I'm in the future? Well if it were so easy for you to come to my time, then just send me back right now!" Link yelled.

Larry started with a look of fear on his face again. "You see I would but....."

Link glared at him, "But what?"

"Well you see when we came back, the time machine started smoking and sparks began to fly. Well what I'm trying to say is that it's a little broken right now." Larry said pushing his chair further back.

Link stood up with anger yet again in his eyes, "What do you mean broken! How in the hell do you expect me to go home!" Link was inches away from Larry now. "Please don't kill me, I promise you I will fix it and you can go home. Just trust me okay!" Larry said hoping this boy wouldn't kill him.

Link sat back down on the chair and put his hands through his hair. Calmly he asked, "How long do you think it will take to fix it?" "I don't know it can take days, weeks, or even months. It depends on how damaged it is. But while I'll fix it, you can stay here and make yourself at home."

There was nothing he could do. They only option Link had was to stay here and wait until the time machine was ready. How he wished he were home though. He was going to propose to Zelda that night. How he missed her so much. If only he could tell her that he was okay but, unfortunately there was no way to communicate with her.

Link looked at Larry again seeing how scared he was of him. Honestly Link believed it wasn't all Larry's fault. He did stand in the way when they both warped, but Link thought he was an enemy taking out a weapon.

But he was still upset and hurt and wanted to go home. How was he ever going to manager living in this time?

Link stood up and walked around the room calmly. He picked up little things and stared at them closely. He walked up to the tv and stared into the blank glass part of it. "What is this?" He asked.

"It's a television. You watch stuff on it for entertainment." Larry said as he put the tv on to show him. Link quickly backed away from the television and stared at it with wide eye.

Larry chuckled, "don't worry it won't hurt you." Link sat down on the couch, "so what year am I in again?" He asked. "Your in San Francisco, California. The year is February, 2004." Larry said feeling a bit more comfortable with him.

"Wow, I can't believe I'm in the future." Link was actually taking this better than he expected. "Well I guess it will be another adventure." Link said to himself sounding a little hopeful. "What's your name again?" Larry said. "Link" he said low.

"Well Link I just want to tell you again how sorry I am about all this but, I promise you though I will get you back to your time." Link looked at him for a moment and felt that he could trust this person.

"Well I'm sorry for standing in the way. I just thought you had a weapon. Call it truce?" Link said standing up and putting his hand out to shake Larry's hand. Larry looked up at him, took his hand out and smiled, "truce."

Princess Zelda, we could only find Link's horse and hat, but there is no sign of him. We're sorry Princess.

Zelda walked up to the guards and took Link's hat. She looked at it and put it to her heart. Tears started streaming down her face as she ran up to her room.

"Thank you guards, but please when continue looking. Check in houses, buildings, and everywhere else you are all able to. We can't give up yet." Impa said as she ran to Zelda.

Zelda heard a knock at her door, "Go away I don't want to talk to anyone." She yelled. Impa opened the door anyway and sat beside Zelda and held her in her arms.

"Impa why did this have to happen? I don't think I could live without him." Zelda said unable to control her tears. "There there little one, maybe he had business to take care of or something. I assure you if Link can defeat gannondorf, then I'm sure he can defeat just about anyone." Impa said giving Zelda hope that she could count on.

After calling truce, Larry showed Link around his house and explained many things to him about living in the modern age. Larry showed Link the television, radio, microwave, and many more things. Link was amazed of how things were so advance.

Larry cooked Link some dinner and sat down at the table. They had been talking and getting a long quite well since the incident occurred. Larry handed Link his diner and a glass of milk and sat right across from him.

They ate in silence until Larry spoke, "So Link tell me about yourself and the past?" Link took a sip of his milk and then spoke, "Well I'm 18 years old and I live in a country called, Hyrule. The reason why I have these ears is because I am Hylian.

I was raised in a village called the kokiri village. My parents died when I was younger. When I was ten years old I had my first adventure. I was put to sleep for seven years and I woke up seventeen, I soon found out I was the legendary hero that was going to save Hyrule.

I defeated someone named gannondorf and I then fell in love with the princess I rescued. After defeating gannon, the princess was going to send me back, but I didn't want to. I stayed with her and tonight I was going to proposed to her, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it will be tonight."

Link said as he took another bite of his food. Larry sat there wide eye in amazement.

"This boy really is from the past." he said to himself. Larry spoke up, "Did you happened to be the Hero of Time everyone talked about? That killed Gannondorf, died, but came back to life by the three goddesses of Hyrule?

You lived your life with the princess and fell in love with her. Do you mean your really that person!" Larry said. Link looked at him confused, "uh, I suppose I am, but how did you know about that?"

Larry got out of his seat and ran to the book shelf to catch a book. He pulled a by Link and sat next to him. "Here, read this. You're a legend. You are really famous all over. Heck, they even made a video game about you!" Larry said sounding excited.

Link smirked, "yea right. Why would I be so famous just by defeating a monster." Larry turned some more pages to show Link, "well Link this was a very famous Legend that was told by many generations.

Everyone pretty much knows the story how the hero saves the princess, falls in love with her, marries her and live happily ever after. I just never believed it was true, until now."

Link read through the pages and was amazed by what he saw. His legend was very popular many many years into the future. "Wow I never would have guessed that me being the Hero of Time would be around this long." he said as he kept reading the book.

Larry kept smiling, "I can't believe I actually have a Legend in my house." he thought. Larry picked up the plates and put them in the kitchen.

It was late and Larry was getting real tired. Larry walked up to Link, "hey I have an extra bedroom for you to sleep in, if you want to go to bed it's kind of late."

He told Link, but Link was still reading the book about him still amazed of how popular he had become. "Okay, I guess I'm a little tired." he said as he followed Larry to a bedroom. When he opened the door, Larry had put some pj's set for Link to wear.

"If you need anything I'll be right across the room. Sleep good, goodnight." Larry said as he closed the door.

Link stood in the bedroom alone. He looked at the surroundings and saw how everything was made different and was more advanced than his time. He put the pj's on and laid in the bed. He then thought of Zelda.

Wishing he could hold her right now. He wondered how she was taking this. He put his head on the pillow and said a lot, "goodnight my love. I love you." then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zelda was in her bedroom now a lone with Link's hat still in her hands. Her eyes were now swollen because of how much she had cried. "Link please come back to me, where ever you are, please be okay and know how much I love you." she said before she fell to sleep.
