The Hero Returns To Hyrule
A/N: This is my very first fic that I've ever written, so please take that into account when reading.
I may have made this fic a little violent, but hopefully that doesn't discourage you from reading.
I was wondering whatever happened to the Link from N64. It may be explained in the new game coming out, but here is my guess. It is unknown whether Link returned to Hyrule or stayed in Termina. According to Windwaker, Hyrule was destroyed because the hero did not return. I'm throwing this all out the window and starting with my own take. I hope you enjoy and please review.
I DO NOT OWN THE LEGEND OF ZELDA OR ANYTHING RELATED TO IT!
(--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------) CHAPTER 1: The Day Link Returns
The people of Clock Town held a parade the day following the defeat of Majora's Mask. Few of the people actually knew the reason behind the moon being sent back into the sky, all they knew was that the mysterious boy was a hero.
The boy rode his small brown horse at the end of the parade group. He didn't like having this much attention being paid to him. The boy pulled his green cap over his eyes as they stared sullenly at the ground. Cheers sounded on either side of him as he passed.
Some people ran up to the boy and begged for his autograph. The boy half-heartedly scribbled the word "Link" and carried on. All he could think about was Hyrule and his friends back home. Sure he liked Termina, but Hyrule was his home. He wanted to go home.
The parade slowly made its way into South Clock Town, right in front of the clock. A faint sound of music crept from the heavy oak doors as the boy rode past them. His ears pricked up at the sound of the music. "Could it be?" He silently asked himself as he stopped before the door. He shook his head as the parade pushed him forward.
Later that night, the boy in green was having difficulty sleeping. The music from the clock doors kept him thinking. He had enough. He needed to clear something from his thoughts.
The boy picked up his sword, bow, ocarina, and his shield before creeping out the door. He looked both ways down the hallways of the inn. Everything was silent. The boy sneaked along the hall and out the door onto the roof. There, he waited to make sure nobody had followed him.
Once sure that he was unnoticed, the boy let out a faint whistle. The sound of hoof beats approaches as the boy's horse appears. The boy hopped off the building onto the horse's back. With a faint whisper from the boy the horse trots off towards the clock tower.
The boy had an odd feeling that he was being watched. He scanned the rooftops around him, searching for an enemy. He watches as a shadow ducks to avoid being spotted. The boy pulls out his bow and fits an arrow to the string. He pretends not to notice as the shadow reappears and makes its way towards the edge of the building that it stood upon. The boy turned and fired his arrow at the shadow.
Two fire blades burned in the night, deflecting the arrow aside. The shadow disappeared into the air. Suddenly, the boy was knocked from his horse. He was sent flying into one of the buildings. The boy picked himself off the ground and managed to role aside as the shadow with fire swords bounced towards him. The boy knew exactly what this was. It was the Garo Master, returned for revenge.
He quickly drew his own sword as the Garo Master charged him. This time the boy managed to jump aside and take a swing at the creature. Once again it disappeared only to reappear directly above him. This time he was ready. The boy quickly loaded an arrow and shot directly upwards. He stepped aside as the Garo Master fell to the ground. The Garo Master pulled the arrow out of his mask and glared at the boy. Fire burned in his eyes matching the swords that he held.
The Garo Master bounced to the side strafing the boy. Then he started his charge and immediately disappeared. The boy turned to face where the creature would reappear, but was greeted with a blow to his spine. The boy cried out in pain as he fell to the ground. He rolled face up to face the Garo Master. The creature stood above the boy and prepared to deliver a finishing blow. The boy in green looked around desperately to find some way out. Then he spotted it.
The Garo Master plunged his swords deep into the ground where the boy once lay. He looked around to find the boy. Suddenly, the Garo Master could feel the boy's sword buried deep into his back. The creature collapsed to the ground with a shriek of agony as the boy pulled out his sword. The boy nodded to the little children on the rooftop that held the rope that pulled him to safety.
In the silence of the night, the music echoed from the tower. He was sure of it. This song was the one thing that truly reminded him of home. The beautiful melody of "Saria's Song" lured the boy towards the doors of the tower. The boy pulled out his ocarina and played the song that his friend, Saria, taught him so long ago.
The heavy doors opened, revealing not the interior of the tower, but the mystic Chamber of Sages. A deep feeling of foreboding filled the boy as he and his horse entered the Chamber. Something had to have gone seriously wrong for the Sages to be here.
Six were present. Saria of the forest, Darunia of fire, Ruto of water, Impa of shadows, Nabouru of spirit, and Rauru of light. The only one missing was Zelda. The boy rode his horse into the center of the chamber and dismounted.
A bright flash of light filled the Chamber. The boy immediately knew what had happened. He looked down at his arms, now much longer and stronger than before. Then he looked his horse, which had grown into a magnificent beast. He faced Rauru and stated "the Hero of Time is needed again."
Rauru and the other sages nodded their heads. "We regret to inform you that Ganondorf broke out of our seal. He once again has conquered the land of Hyrule and is searching for the Triforce. Princess Zelda has been hidden away so that she will not be captured." Rauru explains.
Saria continues the explanation, "After you defeated Ganondorf and Ganon, we placed him under a magical seal. You returned the Master Sword to it's pedestal in the Temple of Light, thus sending you back seven years in time. Your companion, Navi, left and you went on a search for her. You ended up in Termina."
Darunia, "Each time you played the "Song of Time" you sent Termina back three days in time, but Hyrule continued on its normal timeline. Eight years have passed in Hyrule since the day you left. During the first seven years everything was peaceful."
Ruto, "On the exact date that you had defeated Ganon using the Master Sword, the evil king Ganondorf returned. We are not sure how and we were unaware of his presence until it was to late. He already had overthrown the king and ruled the land with an iron fist of fear."
Impa, "Knowing that you were not present, Ganondorf took the opportunity to destroy the Master Sword. He sent the pieces to his six temples throughout Hyrule and left his strongest minions guarding the pieces."
Nabouru, "You need to retrieve the shards and forge the Master Sword anew. Now go, mount Epona. Two of your friends are waiting for you at Lon Lon Ranch. Somehow, the ranch has yet to be disturbed by the evils of Ganondorf."
All sages together, "Go, Link, Hero of Time! Save Hyrule from Ganondorf!"
Link climbed onto the back of Epona. A smile crept across his face as the white flash filled the chamber again. Link was going home.
