A/N: This is my first fanfic… I can't guarantee if I'll actually finish it or not, but I like where it's going, so bear with me, ok? Also, the title has nothing to do with the song. I heard the song after I made the title.

Disclaimer: I have bought Legend of Zelda from Nintendo with the money I won at a spelling be, so all rights are reserved for yours truly.

Sorry, got a little carried away. I really don't own LoZ, but if I could get any three wishes from a genie who somehow appeared in front of me, that would be my second wish, after the ability to fly. Okay, I'm done.

Holding out for a Hero

Prologue

"Okay. Let's see if this spell of Ganondorf's was real or not."

Dark Link had finally found his way out the of the ever-confusing Water Temple via the boss's chamber, and had made his way to a secluded corner of Hyrule Field to test a long-known spell of his master's. He had learned it a while back, and was curious to see if it worked.

Gathering the necessary materials for the trip hadn't been the problem. Dark Link was just a passing shadow in the twilight. The hard part was remembering the exact words of the spell. If you didn't have the words, you didn't have anything. So he took a deep breath and began, his soft but melodic voice articulating every word almost perfectly.

Open, window,

To this world

Of things unseen

And tales untold.

Open, window,

And let me through

To this world;

Let me start anew.

Dark's crimson eyes glittered with delight when an opening almost seven feet in diameter appeared almost immediately after he finished the spell. It worked, he thought, and taking another deep breath, stepped through and instantly his world was black.
