The Unfinished Tales of Link
Chapter One- The Return to Home
His face hit the soft ground. He shivered. This might be the end he thought. The engaging Iron Knuckle encircled its prey viciously. Link looked slowly to his left. There was the legendary Master Sword, just outside of his grasp. The Iron Knuckle suddenly rushed forward and with a mighty heave the axe gave way into the ground. Link rolled to his left and caught up his sword. Quickly doing a perfectly executed back flip over the Iron Knuckle scythe swing of the axe he finished off the armor of his enemy. Unfortunately this just sent the foe into a fury while also speeding up his attacks and overall speed. As Ling jumped behind a pillar the massive axe bore into the place where Link once stood and into the pillar. Surprising his enemy Link jumped out of hiding and slew him. Link stood, chest heaving, with a tiredness he hadn't felt in a long time. Link now had almost finished his task, or so he thought.
Cleaning off his blade in the cool grass outside of the torchlight chamber behind him, he thought of all that he had been through in the previous months. He had learned the skill of the sword and had taken on a quest that seemed impossible. Having defeated Ganondorf he had become the Hero of Hyrule. But a new challenge awaited the newly recovered kingdom. Just as the kingdom was filled with laughter and sunlight a great evil suddenly swept the king. He was now unapproachable and appeared to be very pale, but having a glimmer of evil surrounding him. He soon had mysterious caravans coming into the kingdom and the people soon fled from the market into the neighboring town of Kakariko. Link had met with Princess Zelda earlier to discuss this problem.
I wonder what could have happened to him. He suddenly shunned me from his presence, was it something I did to anger him? "Who's there" Zelda called out into the dark doorway. "It's just me" Said an all too familiar voice. "You wished to see my, your Highness?" How many times have I told you, it's Zelda! Link soon stepped into the torchlight. Zelda turned to greet him and tried to smile, but Link could tell that there was more than meets the eye. "Link, you know that I trust you more than anyone else. Lately I have become worried about the condition of my father." This is unlike her to be so hesitant and anxious. "What's the problem Zelda?"
"My father has been acting very strange as of late." she started. Link had become accustomed to Zelda's intuition and had also come to trust it when it decided to take action. "He won't see me or anyone else and I am worried that something has happened to him. Also, strange caravans and men have come into the palace and I don't know anything of them." Something in her voice convinced him this was serious and he coolly asked her, "What do you need me to do?" She looked into his deep, blue eyes. What is it about him that makes me want to trust him? "I think that some new threat against Hyrule is come over us, and only we can stop it!" Where have I heard this before? Link thought. He knew he had to help but someday he just wanted to settle down for a life of peace, hang up his sword and have someone to share life with and to love. Maybe Zelda... "Link, are you even paying attention?" Link's gaze averted from Zelda's perfectly formed breast and straight into her gorgeous deep blue eyes. Mentally, he slapped himself a few times and focused on the task at hand. "Of course I'm paying attention!" he stammered. She narrowed her eyes and glared at him with a look most unbecoming of such a beautiful princess. They walked out of her room and around the city marketplace. "Before we jump into this matter, what's it like to be the Hero of Time?" What does it feel like? I have become a fierce fighter through rigorous battles, fallen in love with a beautiful princess and have fought long and hard for her safety, and now that the war was over he was ready to go deeper with her. Why did some new evil have to interrupt their happiness? "It's just a name, but it doesn't fit my personality", Link replied. He had never quite gotten used to being called Hero of Time, much less Hero, but he had his own name that meant everything to himself, Link. They walked out of the castle walls and into Hyrule Field. "So, Your Highness..." "It's Zelda to you!" "Yes, Your Highness, how do we go about defeating this new evil?" What I wouldn't do for a magical, all- telling owl right about now Link pondered. Just about then, in a tree, Link spied an owl. Suddenly, out of nowhere, some cheesy music started. The owl cocked its head sideways. "Young one, again you are chosen to help save Hyrule from the ever- impossible odds. You will need all the help you can. Go to the jungle to learn of the origin of this new evil. Remember, the burden of Hyrule rests again on your shoulders- you cannot fail." The owl then turned and took flight into the distance and the setting sun. "It's getting dark, I should take you home", Link said into the new darkness. His task was now before him. Only he could save Hyrule once again, with the help of a Princess, a talking owl, and his own courage. Link took out his ocarina and played a jovial little tune. A familiar neigh sounded as the brownish-red horse came over the hill. Link helped Zelda onto Epona's back and leaped on himself. They rode back to the courtyard of the palace and he bid her a goodnight. "Link, don't worry too much. You have me to help guide you and I will never fail you. After all we've been through you know can trust me." Zelda retreated into her room and Link rode away. Link was back cleaning his blade on the cool grass, thinking of his mission. He missed the reassurance of Zelda's face, but he had to keep her safe. And if this was the only way, he would die trying if necessary. He sheathed his sword and kept walking. He had entered the heart of the vast jungle by now, and he knew that he had just started his mission.
