The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
Aftermath
Prologue:
Ok peoples here is my newest story. It's a Link/Tetra thing so sit back and enjoy. Please note this is not meant to be a spoiler fic.
This is but one of the legends of which the people speak...
Long ago, there existed a kingdom where a golden power lay hidden.
It was a prosperous land blessed with green forests, tall mountains, and peace. But one day, a man of great evil found the golden power and took it for himself...
With its strength at his command, he spread darkness across the kingdom.
But then, when all hope had died, and the hour of doom seemed at hand... ...a young boy clothed in green appeared as if from nowhere.
Wielding the blade of evil's bane, he sealed the dark one away and gave the land light.
This boy, who traveled through time to save the land, was known as the Hero of Time. The boy's tale was passed down through generations until it became a legend...
But then...a day came when a tall wind began to blow across the kingdom.
The great evil that all thought had been forever sealed away by the hero...
returned once again to bring destruction to the kingdom. The people of the land prayed for a new hero, but they received none.
And so the evil broke free and destroyed the kingdom...
...only few chosen by fate survived. The memory of the kingdom vanished, but its legend survived on the wind's breath
And then the dark power arose again from its long slumber, and the boy dressed in green did show his face again. He traveled the world, the power of Wind at his side seeking the forces of Good to aid him, and then finally he once again took up the Master Sword, to strike down evil again. The shadow of evil continually tried to prevent him from doing so, desperately trying to avoid the revival of a hero, a Hero the land desperately needed. In the end Good triumphed, as the Hero awoke to a new destiny. And again the Hero had his name: Link.The Hero of Winds!
Chapter One
"Curse you all!" snarled Gannondorf, King of Evil, as he collapsed in front of Link, Hero of Hyrule and Princess Zelda, Princess of Destiny. "Foiled yet again by a young brat! Hear me, I will have my revenge!" With that the evil king let out a guttural scream and seemed to melt into the ground of his tower, his body disappearing in an explosion of dark smoke. Princess Zelda walked up and looked over where the evil one had fallen, and clasping a hand to her chest nodded and turned to Link, the twelve year old boy, who now carried the Triforce of Courage within him, the new Hero of Hyrule.
"It is over." she said quietly, closing her eyes, "Link thank you, I'm sorry you had to get dragged into this."
Link sheathed the Master Sword and walked up to her, shaking his head quietly, replying, "No, it was time, I guess, neither of us knew of our greater destiny till now Zelda." He smiled a bit and continued teasingly, "'sides who would a known a pirate had royal blood?"
Zelda laughed lightly and smiled fondly at Link. She had only known him for a short while, first as a boy searching for his sister, and then as a Hero, fighting for the very land her ancestors had once called home, but it felt now like she had known him for centuries. Suddenly a bright light appeared besides them and the King of Red Lions stepped forth, smiling broadly.
"Well done Hero of Winds!" he began, "you have truly lived up to your bloodline, as the Gods have acknowledged you as the next Hero so do I. However, the celebration can be brief at best, for although Ganon has been banished back from whence he came, he will unfortunately rise again, so therefore, Hyrule and the Master Sword must once again be hidden from him beneath the waves, until it can be restored once more, and you two, must go back to leading your normal lives."
Link cringed then looked at Zelda. He then turned to the King and asked, "will we retain our memories or will all be forgotten?"
The King laughed a bit and smiled, "no Link, you shall remember all that has transpired here, and what you have done."
Zelda then looked at the King and said quietly, "Could I go back to being Tetra? I think I'm too young for this roll of princess right now."
The King nodded and smiled, "yes child, in fact I was about to say that it would be best that the Triforce of Wisdom remain with me here, in this sunken land, where it can remain hidden, away from those who might seek to use it for their own gains. It is best that way, until the Hyrule is once again restored and a princess is needed again."
Zelda nodded then turned and looked at Link, "then lets get out of here I just want to be Tetra again."
"Then Hero, play your Wind Waker, and let us leave this forsaken place!" replied the King.
Link nodded, and then raised the Wind Waker. Slowly he began the fluid movements of the Requiem, the song he had first learned from the Wind God himself. Its haunting notes echoes and flowed around them and then suddenly with a rush of wind they found themselves standing back in the chamber where the King had made his first appearance to them.
Zelda then looked at the King and asked, "could you give Link and me a minute alone?" The King nodded and vanished, and Link turned to look at her.
Despite being only twelve, when he looked upon her, dressed in the flowing Hylian garb, her blonde hair falling about her white shoulders, and the smile she was giving him, he felt a lump form in his throat and he asked somewhat shyly, "so, what's on your mind Zel? Or should I call you Tetra?" He looked a bit perplexed as he pondered the two names.
"Whatever you prefer silly." She smiled, then said as she turned to look around her, "you know, its kind of funny, ever since I was little, I've always been fascinated with stories of the Hero and the Princess, how he was always there for her, like a Knight in shining armor, and I would often dream what it would be like." she smiled a bit shyly, then continued, "thank you Link, for everything."
"You're welcome Ze, erm, Tetra, I guess I'm just doing my job, being the Hero and all." Link blushed a bit.
Zelda smiled, and then turned, "King of Red Lions, we're ready."
The King appeared and smiled, "very well then, return the Triforce of Wisdom to rest once again."
Zelda nodded and concentrated. Her crest on the back of her hand began to glow and suddenly the Triforce of Wisdom appeared, the golden triangle sparkling and shining magnificently. Then suddenly it seemed to shatter as the necklace piece separated from the piece that the King had given her. Zelda's appearance then seemed to shift and change. Her skin went from white back to the tanned skin it had been before. Her hair changed from the long and flowing, to cropped up behind her in a ponytail, and her outfit changed from the Hylian garb to pirates vestments. When the light had died down, Tetra, leader of the pirates stood there, holding a fragment of the Triforce of Wisdom. Link looked at his own hand, and saw it still resonated, the Triforce of Courage still responding to her presence.
"It is done." Said the King, with a nod, as he took hold of the smaller triangle piece. The Trifroce of Wisdom now rests again. Now Link, return the Master Sword to the pedestal!" With that he turned and gestured, the pedestal rising up again. Link nodded and walked up. Unsheathing the Master Sword he looked at it, then without hesitation slammed it blade first, back into the pedestal. Instantly everything around them seemed to go gray and dull, the color seemed to seep away. "The Master sword has sealed this place again." The King replied, and then he turned to the two, "now go, take the boat and return to the surface, return to the lives you left behind, Link Hero of Winds, and Princess Zelda."
Tetra nodded then began to walk back up the steps to exit the sacred place. Link however stayed behind for a second to look at the Master Sword quietly. The King smiled and placed a ghostly hand on Links shoulder, "be at peace Hero, you needn't worry about Hyrule's safety for now, not yet at least, go, return, you grandmother and sister await you."
Link nodded then turned and began to walk up the steps, before turning to cast one glance back. The King raised his hand in parting and smiled then disappeared. Link smiled as well then went up the stairs and out to where the Red Lion boat waited.
"What took ya so long kid?" Tetra replied winking at him. It always caught him off guard and this was no exception.
"Hunh?? Oh nothing." He smiled. He noticed the Red Lion's head was now silent and unmoving, "nothing at all."
"Then lets get going, I can't wait to be sailing the open seas again." Tetra replied, smirking at Link.
"Aye-aye captain!" Link smiled as he got into the boat and steered it into the pillar of light. As the boat lifted off Link watched them depart the majestic castle, and he smiled a little, knowing that he had set the land of Hyrule at peace, and as long as it remained that way, he would not be needed again.
