Ed: I was really happy to see I had five review for this after only one day!
Little Link: And one was from a random person.
Ed: One of them seemed to talk as though he or she didn't really like the story because of the plot holes I have...
Little Link: And boy do you ever have plot holes...
Ed: I do NOT! I already had everything planned out!
Little Link: Suuuuure ya did.
Ed: No, really. As soon as I read over it I saw those plot holes and said, "Oh, well I can just do that and that and it'll be fine."
Little Link: O.O I guess you weren't lying... This time. Uber Spoonz don't own Zelda or anything else that's copyrighted.
Ed: I own a dog, but her name is Belle, not Murphy. And yes, she's been diagnosed with an allergy to grass. Whoo hoo.
Chapter 2: Inside the Deku Tree
"CRAP! CRAP! CRAP!" I shouted as I ran in circles from some giant plant things. I needed some kind of weapon, but I had nothing. Except a sudden idea.
With a brief battle cry, I hauled Murphy off the ground and ran around pummeling the Deku Babas with her. When they were all dead, Murphy licked the blood from her wounds and wagged her tail at me. I chuckled, more than happy to have an invincible puppy to use as my weapon. "Here, Murphy! Come on, girl!" I called as I proceeded to walk up to a door.
"Hey!" Navi said suddenly shouted, scaring the bejeezus out of me. "In order to open a door, press the blue 'A' button! But since you don't have a funky N64 controller, that piece of information was meaningless and useless!" I glared at the fairy and pushed the door open. It closed on Murphy's back and she yelped. I sighed and opened it again to let her through.
I had no idea the Deku Tree was so huge inside. During my trek through his innermost chambers, Murphy received several third degree burns, fell three levels to the floor, drowned, and played fetch. And I got a slingshot. Lucky!
Eventually we wandered into this really big room with a bunch of mist billowing from some discreetly placed fog machines. There was a giant spider thing hanging from the ceiling, then it fell and started lumbering towards Murphy and me. My little pup growled disdainfully, but that was doing squat-diddly. So I took out my shiny new slingshot and shot the thing that I think was called Queen Gohma in her single yellow eye. Murphy ran around nipping at her scaly flesh when she collapsed.
It's at times like those I wished I had looked for the Kokiri Sword, which was hidden somewhere in the forest. I made a note to go back and look for it when I got out of the Deku Tree. Gohma fell in good time, after laying a few eggs that hatched to tiny little Gohmas that chased Murphy around. This blue light appeared and I went into it. Turned out it was a transportation thing and it took me back to the Deku Tree.
Once there, I looked around to see that Murphy hadn't followed. I sighed. "MURPHY!" I called. The little brown dog slipped out of the Deku Tree's nose and bounded over to my side, where she sat down and wagged her tail. I patted her on the head and pretended to listen to whatever random crap the Great Deku Tree was saying about an evil man from the desert and a princess over in somewhere-or-another. When he was through, he died. I waited a few minutes to see if he'd come back to life like Murphy often did. When he didn't, I left to find that Kokiri Sword.
After a bit of being chased around by a giant boulder that flattened Murphy several times over, I finally found the sword and was gravely disappointed. It was, like, half a foot long. But a weapon was a weapon. I counted my Rupees and headed over to the shop to buy a Deku Shield for myself. I then left the forest by means of the bridge through the Lost Woods. There just happened to be a giant owl waiting for me.
"Hoo hoo! It looks it's finally time for you to embark on your journey, Link! …Um, what's up with your dog?" the owl asked as he turned his head. I looked at Murphy and saw that she had chewed herself bare, has red, swollen eyes, and was vomiting phlegm. I'll leave the details to your imagination.
"Crap," I said. "Looks like she's allergic to something."
"But the only thing around is grass," the owl, who I came to know as Kaepora Gaebora, commented. I nodded with a sigh. "Well, this is Murphy that we're talking about," I reminded. I wondered if I had any antihistamines in my pocket. I rooted around and pulled out a box of Sudafed. …What? I had terrible springtime allergies, so I always kept some at hand! I administered the medicine to Murphy and she whined happily.
"How can she be allergic to grass? Isn't there grass in the forest as well?" KG inquired curiously. I nodded in understanding. "The grass in Kokiri Forest was sacred due to the power of the Great Deku Tree," I explained. "No plant life in that forest would do anyone any kind of harm, unless it was a Deku Baba." Murphy barked in agreement.
KG shook his head and got back to the point. "Anyway, you need to be seeing Princess Zelda in Hyrule Castle. She'll have a lot of information to tell you," he suggested as he took to the skies. It was a gorgeous afternoon, but daytime only last about two minutes and thirty-seven seconds in Hyrule (from cucco to Wolfos, that is). So Murphy and I had to high-tail it to Hyrule Castle before dark.
High-tail it. Heh, it's a pun. Get it?
Ed: I just stuffed Little Link in a closet so I could get some peace... Now, how did you like that? Yes, I actually sat there and timed how long a day lasts in Ocarina of Time. I have that much free time on my hands. I just spent all day typing updates, so I hope I can get some reviews! Alsooooo... There's that new contest that I need some entries for! PLEASE, guys! PLEASE enter! The award graphics look nice!
