Child of Destiny : Prologue
"I'm so sorry," a woman whispered through the dark to her tiny baby. "I've failed you, Link, please forgive me."
The woman cried as rain streamed through the branches of the enormous tree above her. She struggled to crawl to the base of the tree, and placed her child in a dry hollow between some roots. As she lay beside her baby, the woman prayed to the heavens that her boy be safe and protected by some benevolent force.
A loud crash of thunder frightened the baby into a crying fit, but his mother lay still. He cried on, unable to realize that he would never again feel the loving embrace of a mother's arms.
As the rain subsided, the boy's cries could be heard ringing throughout the deep, forbidden forest. Upon hearing the cries grow louder, the great Deku tree under which the child lay spoke in a deep, rumbling voice.
"Child, you cry for your mother's love, but you shall receive it no more," the Deku tree said gravely. "But I sense greatness deep within you, Link. I will honor your mother's last wish and raise you among my beloved Kokiri, despite the fact that you are of Hylian descent."
The sound of the Deku tree's voice calmed the baby's cries, and lulled him into a deep sleep.
"Sleep well, Link. You will be safe from harm while you are within this forest." said the Deku tree.
The Deku tree watched the child sleep for a while, then called some fairies to take the child into the Kokiri village.
