AUTHOR'S NOTE: PLEASE READ!

A this point I've received quite a few complaints: describe the characters more, Nabooru wasn't with Gannon, Link didn't die, why do I keep calling Sheik 'Zelda,' why are my chapters so short...

I would like to respond to all of these in order.

I didn't describe the characters much because I figured that anyone reading this would be familiar with the Legend of Zelda games. Ths particular fiction is based on OoT (Ocarina of Time) and includes bits and pieces of other Zelda knowledge.

Everyone complains about Nabooru and Gannon. This is FANFICTION, I'm taking liberties of my own. As I've already stated, this is a "what if" story. So what if Link had died, what if Nabooru had given in to Gannon. Suppose Link didn't have all the medallions.

I'm am completely aware that Link doesn't die (unless you lost the game ). Again, it's a what if. If you have a problem with his death and ressurection, stop reading. No one is forcing you to.

Sheik and Zelda are the same person, so I just used whichever name I thought fit the situation best. If you were confused, don't be. Also, this is going on the idea that no one but Impa knows who Sheik is. The part about his being her child... Well, I thought it would be the kind of assumption Gannon would make.

My chapters are short because I'm trying to show the rotation of thought from one character to another. I don't think it's too much effort to click on the "forward one chapter" button. If you aren't happy with my chapters, I can honestly and truly say, too bad. I like the way it's unfolding, and it seems to me that long, boring, never-ending chapters can take the "j" out of "joy" when you're reading a story.

If you have any other issues with the story that relate to or are similar to these, please judge for yourself wether they are valid points or wether artistic license was involved.

Thank you.
