Isa: Ok some questions got brought up by a couple of reviewers. Uhm...I am working with a LOZ timeline here and how I believe it to be. The order is OOT, MM, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, The legend of Zelda, Adventure of Link, A link to the Past, Link's Awakening and Wind Waker. I believe there to be three generations of Link. Link the First is in Oot-Adventure of Link. Link the II is in LTTP and LA. And Link III is in WW. The link in this story is Link I. So Anghim wouldn't be in his generation see? As for Onox I forgot about him. I wrote this fanfic a LONG time ago. Please bare with me readers. The thing with Maple is an inside joke with my friend but I promise there is no more of those in this fanfiction. I am sorry for the confusion but please bear with me and read it. It gets better I promise.

Chapter Two: In which a capture is made.
The young hero sat out in the Royal Garden, on an old tree stump, that green vines crept up the sides, a fountain trickled water in the distance and Navi the fairy danced on air to the elfin boy's playful tune on the Ocarina of Time.
When he finished he sighed and placed the ocarina on his lap, Navi circled around his head and laughed hysterically.
"Oh, Link! that was wonderful!" the giddy sprite replied, "play it again! please! please! please!"
"Navi, I've played that song three times in a row already" Link replied, glancing up at the sky, white clouds drifted past, giving various shapes that he and Saria used to identify when he was little. Saria, he missed her a lot now a days, and so many times he wished he could return to his youth. But he could no longer do that now, return to being ten years old in the blink of an eye by merely placing the Master Sword back in it's pedestal in the Temple of Time.
No, seven years have past since he defeated Ganondorf, seven real years, and since he was not really Kokiri he grew up and could no longer return to the forest.
But that's the way it has to be, Link thought to himself, Saria's a Kokiri Forest Sage, and she belongs in the Kokiri forest, I'm a Hylian, and I belong in Hyrule.
"Link." a voice chimed from above and our hero glanced up. The voice belonged to none other than, Princess Zelda, of Hyrule. Her long blonde hair blowing in the wind behind her. She smiled and Link smiled back. Link had grown very faun of her over the years and she made him feel less and less home sick. She was always there to listen, always there to talk to when he needed her, and she was closer to him then he realized.
One thing was sure, she was special to him, in so many ways.
"Hey Z" Link called, using the special nickname he picked out for her.
"Whatcha ya doin'?" Zelda asked leaning on the balcony handrail.
"Nothing" Link sighed and slipped the ocarina under the secret compartment that lay beneath his shield.
"He was playing a song for me" Navi huffed, fairy dust trailing behind her as she flew up to the Princess. Zelda held out her palm, which Navi sat upon gracefully.
"Well, I don't suppose I could borrow him for just a second?" the princess implied gazing at the small glowing creature. Navi shrugged,
"I guess so," she said mildly. Link rolled his eyes, She's only my guardian, not even that, but she doesn't control me, he thought.
"I herd that!" Navi squealed.
"Navi..." Link groaned and headed up the stairs to Princess Zelda's quarters. When he got there the princess led him down to the throne room; an army of guards lined the walls and straightened when they approached. Link always felt tense around palace guards, or any type of guards, probably by the bad experiences he's had with them. The throne room was large and wide spread with a delicate red carpet lying in the middle of the floor. Large stained glass windows let light breath through and reflected on the marble tiles that made up the floor.
Link blinked and turned his attention to one of the windows. A girl came riding up to the drawbridge, riding on a white spotted horse, with a brown main and tail.
"Nabooru?" Link questioned out loud, "what's she doing here?"
"Who?" Zelda asked, turning around. Link pointed, and Zelda stepped beside him to get a better view.
Nabooru dismounted her horse and strode up to the drawbridge, she shouted something at the guard who stood watch, nether noble could hear it. They only thing they did here were the muffled tones of light conversation between the Grudeo and the guard, then a gasp and a high shriek.
Link drew his sword and immediately headed down the long flight of stairs leading back out into the courtyard.
"Can I ever catch a break?" he said to himself as he brawled through the glass doors of the palace. At last he was out in the courtyard and Nabooru had her two samurai type swords drawn and aimed at a dark cloaked figure. Link ran up to assist her, but Nabooru already struck. She slashed her two swords towards her attackers mid section, but he jumped and landed on her blade!
Nabooru looked up, shocked. The figure stood there for awhile, floating waiting for Nabooru to make her next move. She twisted her sword from under his feet and he jumped, back flipping in mid air.
"Nabooru! Look out!" Link screamed sensing what was coming next, but his warning came too late. The uninvited visitor drew his sword and raised it high above his head letting out a loud war cry. Link's eyes widened, he knew this voice.
The figure clashed his sword on Nabooru, hitting her with the blunt end, and Nabooru fell before his feet. Link clenched the handle on the Master Sword hard and charged. The figure looked up and merely extended his hand forward. Black fire hurtled towards Link, hitting him dead in the chest. He fell back and yelled with shock more then pain.
"Do not challenge me mortal" the figure spoke, "you have met your match Link of the Triforce, and we will meet again"
Link shook his head back and forth and stood, while the figure had picked up Nabooru's limp body and hulled her over his shoulder.
"Let her go! She never did anything to you!" Link shouted, and the figure turned, the hood of his long black cape flapping in the wind.
"This is none of your business" he replied.
"Heck yeah it is!" Link screamed drawing his sword, "you don't know who you're dealing with pal! That chick's one of the Six Sages, and not only will you have to deal with me, but the other five Sages as well!"
The figure snorted and mounted Nabooru's horse, with the Greduo leader in hand.
"Ok, I see how you are" Link said narrowing his eyes, "duel me for her then, if I win you let her go, but if you win you can keep her. Sound fair?"
"I wouldn't waste my time" the figure sneered and turned in his saddle to face Link, "I would anticipate your every move, your thought. Any strategy you would try to come up with to try and defeat me, I would be five steps ahead of you. I think I'm doing you a favor, not excepting your challenge, now go and keep out of this before I change my mind and decided to have a little fun" "Coward" Link muttered, "but I don't blame you for being scared. After all you would be going up against one of the best swordsman Hyrule has to offer" Link crossed his arms and the figure smiled wickedly beneath his hood.
"You'd like to think so wouldn't you, Hero of Time?" he scoffed and slapped the reins of Nabooru's horse. Before Link could reply he was already half way down Hyrule Field, a cloud of dust trailing behind him, but he did turned and shouted, "We are not so different, you and I! In fact if you wish I can prove that to you on Death Mountain!"
Link watched helplessly with gritted teeth as Nabooru's captor vanished behind a ridge. He inserted the Master Sword back into it's sheath with the bitter taste of defeat lingering in his conscience, and he hadn't even fought!
His ears picked up the sound of hurried footsteps and he turned to see Princess Zelda rushing towards him.
"Link! What has gotten into you? Don't you ever run off on me like that again! Link!" the princess grabbed Link by the shoulder and whizzed him around until he stared into her red cheeks and burning eyes, "what's going on? what happened?"
Link gazed into the hills beyond. "Some creep took Nabooru" he answered monoly, Navi circled about his head.
"Ooohhhh, the sages won't like that" she replied.
"Forget the sages!" Princess Zelda shouted waving her arms above her head, "what about the Greduos! They'll go stock raving mad when they find out about what happened! And you know who'll they'll blame it on? Us!"
"Chill Z" Link soothed, grabbing Zelda by the arm, "the Greudos know me ok? and they know that we, we being us Hylains, would never capture their leader for no apparent reason"
The worry in the Princess' eyes didn't lighten. "Sure they know you Link, but do they trust you? Just because Nabooru does doesn't mean the rest of them will! Duh!"
"They respect me, isn't that enough? Look, the Greudos stick to a very honor strict code; it's never broken. Kind of like the Gorons and their 'brotherhood'. Trust me, everything's going to be ok"
Link pushed Zelda back up the stairs and into the palace throne room, where he sat her on her throne. He sat on his knees, resting his chin on his elbows that lay on one of the chair's armrests.
"Now" he said glancing up at the Princess, "what did you want to talk to me about?"
Zelda sighed, "Oh, never mind now"
Link raised his eyebrows. "Oh come on, you're not going to let a little mishap stifle your mood are you?"
"Hey!" Princess Zelda sneered, holding up her hand, "this is not a mood ok? I'm just...uh look you should be thinking about how you're going to get Nabooru back, and quickly!"
"What's there to think about? I contact the Sages, they find where she's at, they tell me I go and find her and kick who's ever butt I need to along the way, it's that simple" Zelda started at the once believed to be Kokiri elf. This wasn't the same shy little boy who snuck past the most elite guards to get into her palace to see her, who awakened the Sages, or even beat the Great King of Evil or the Sorceress of Shadows. He certainly has a more cocky attitude, she thought bitterly, personally, I liked him better when he was little and naive.
"Aren't you worried?" Zelda questioned and Link exhaled slowly.
"You don't know Nabooru like I do" he replied smoothly, "If anyone captured Nabooru I would be worried about them not her"
Zelda stood and glared at Link fiercely. "Well if you think-"
Suddenly a guard burst through the throne room doors panting heavily.
"My lady...Sir Link, you have visitors and they wish to meet with you immediately" he informed the elves.
Zelda and Link exchanged worried glances and Zelda gave an "I told you so" look. Link shrugged and stood.
"What heritage are they?" he asked.
"Greudo"
