---The Legend of Link---
A/N: Don't let the title confuse you. I'm currently not sure how long this will be, but it's definitely going for at least three chapters, if not more. Also, this doesn't take place in any particular game of the franchise. Just the 'Legend of Zelda in general' setting. This will be one of my better fics, I hope. If not, then you have my permission to throw rocks and other hard things in my direction. Disclaimer: I do not own TheLegend of Zelda, its characters, trademarks, rights, blah, blah, blah, etc, etc. You catch my drift.

Prologue-
Lightning split the sky, momentarily lighting the dark, dank tower room. But the light went as quickly as it came, returning the room to an almost complete darkness if had not been for the tiny, flickering candle propped up against the corner wall. A girl peered out the glass-less window and out to the barren wasteland below. It was an vast, ragged, and frightening area, deprived of plants, animals, people, or anything living for that matter. The fortress was the only thing around for miles. The girl looked at the angry storm, which had continued to ravage the land for the for the entire time she had been here, and shook her head.
"Location, location, location." She said, rolling her eyes. "Always chosing the most dreary, most lifeless, and most obvious places for their "secret" hideouts, these stupid evil villians." She rest her arms on the window sill and leaned out. "As if this would be the last place he would look. Really, you'd think Ganendorf would know better by now." She pulled back into the room and went to lay down on the bed. (Which was actually a hard, wooden bench jutting from the wall.) Staring at the stone ceiling, she sighed.
You'd think I would know better by now, she thought, Getting captured like this, for umpteenth-millionth time. By Ganendorf, no less. It's pathetic. She rolled over on her side. And repetitive. He needs a new plan, Ganendorf. Capture princess, terrorlize all of Hyrule, kill Link and get his Triforce piece, become all-powerful and take over the world. Of course, Link always prevails, rescues me, defeats Ganendorf, and saves the kingdom. Which is all fine and dandy, but...it's my kingdom. I mean, it's his kingdom too, but I'm its princess. It's my responsibility to take care of it. Yet here I am, trapped in a tower once again, waiting to be rescued. Wonder why Ganendorf never kills me straight-off. He's probably too stupid to think of how much trouble it save him. Not that I should complain.
She turned over and stared at the ceiling again. Why do I have to be rescued anyway? I could probably rescue myself if I tried hard enough. I do not need Link rushing to my aid all the time. Not that I don't appreciate it, though. She strecthed her arms out and folded them behind her head, as a sort of make-shift pillow. Link really is a nice guy and I really do like him. He's so chivarlous, battling bad guys and saving the kingdom all the time. And I just love that cute, pointy hat of his. She half-chuckled, half-yawned. But I wish there was something I could do, for once. I've helped out before, but that's nothing compared to what Link does while I'm being captured by evil mainacs and the like. I'm so tired of being the damsel-in-distress.
Princess Zelda of Hyrule then made a decision. No longer would she be the helpless hostage, awaiting for Link to come to her rescue. Things were going to change.
Only a lot more than Zelda would have ever imagined...

A/N: And that is the begining of a very strange adventure! Boring, I know, but things will get better, I promise. The title happend to be the starting point for all of this, believe it or not. I was thinking about it, how the games are called The Legend of Zelda when it mainly revovles around Link. Link does more adventurous-legend stuff, so why wasn't it The Legend of Link? I still don't know, but I figured, "If The Legend of Zelda has Link as the main character, then The Legend of Link would have to have Zelda has the main character." And you can probably tell where it's all going from there. ;)
