YAY! Link leaves the forest! stares at reviews I'm glad you like it! I didn't use Destiny's Child for the first chapter...Twas the only thing I could think of at the time. Beware of yet another bad chapter name. I might need help with roman numerals later in the story. After 12 anyways. I'm using a clock currently.
ALLLLSO I do not own Zelda.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Chapter IIII
Finding the Princess
Link walked through the field for hours, Navi fluttering at his side. He got weaker and weaker. The wound on his arm looked worse than ever.
"Mabye Mido was right. Mabye I am dying," Link said as they passed a very tall tree. He sat down in its shade.
"Link, you got tobe kidding me. You're probably just tired, and plus, the Great Deku Tree told you to leave. If he knew you were going to die, he would not've told you to leave," Navi said.
"Yeah..guess you're right," Link stared at the Kokiri Emerald. "If I had just gotten there sooner-"
"It's not your fault!"
"Mabye it is! I mean, I could've saved him. If only I had more time," Link said.
"Time cannot be erased," Navi told him.
"Yeah I know!" Link got up. "How much farther to the castle from here you expect?"
"Dunno, couple hours?" Navi said.
Link continueduntill the sun dissapeared and the moon rose up into the sky. He felt tired. He could see lights in the distance, "Think they'll let us in?"
"Mabye, it's worth a try."
They walked untill two large houses could be seen in the distance, and several fenced areas. He saw several horses grazing inside them.
"Wonder who lives here," Link said amazed. He looked at a sign on archway.
Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch, home of the famous Lon Lon Milk
Link walked over to the pasture where several horses were. He could see a stable at the end.
"Beautiful, aren't they?"
Link quickly turned around. A girl about his age was walking twords them. She had long red hair and wore a white dress.
"Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch!" She said. "I'm Malon."
"Do you live here?" Link asked.
"Yes I do, and I love it! We rarely have any visitors since monsters stared appearing in the fields of Hyrule," Malon said. "What's your name?"
"Link, and this is Navi."
Navi flew out of his pocket. Malon looked amazed.
"You...You're...a fairy boy? From the forest?" She said.
"Yes I am!" Link said.
"That's so cool! I've always wanted to meet a fairy boy! Wait till Papa hears this! My Papa's the owner of the ranch, but he's been gone for a while to deliver milk to the castle-"
"Castle? I was on my way there!" Link said.
"Really? You were? Do you think you can help mefind my Papa?" Malon asked.
"Ok but I don't think I'll get there till tommrow afternoon though," Link said.
"On foot you won't, but if we take a horse, we can get there by morning!" Malon said. She opened the gate to the pasture and led Link in.
Malon pointed to a small brown horse, "That's Epona, my favorite horse, and our fastest. She's very wild though, she'll only like you if you know a certian song."
"I have an ocarina," Link said. He showed her Saria's ocarina.
"Oh that's perfect! Play this!" She pulled a smaller version of Saria's ocarina. She played a countrish song. Link played it, though he messed up on the last note.
"That was great! Now Epona likes you!" Malon said as Epona trotted over to them.
They both got on and rode out of the ranch. Link was keeping a very tight hold on Malon so he wouldn't fall off. The sun was peaking out of the horizion.
"Ok, we're here! Now, I'll stay right here while you go find my Papa."
They were in a large market. "You'd better get going!When eight comes, the town's very crowded."
"You mean you're not coming with me?" Link said.
"I can't! If both of us goes in then we're bound to get caught!" Malon told him.
"Fine! Which was is the castle?" Link asked.
"Oh it's right over there," Malon pointed to a large building to the south.
"That'sa castle?" Link said in amazment.
"Yup! Now get going!"
Link walked towards the castle. He never expected Hyrule to be so big and fascinating. He then felt a large sting on his left forearm. He looked at it and saw a large purple cut with blood. Link forgot about that.
"That looks pretty bad Link."
"Yeah I know! But I need to find both Malon's father and the Princess now!"
"It can wait! We need to find someone to bandage your arm!"
"FINE!" Link said and looked at some of the shops.
"What are we looking for?" Link asked.
"Something that's open!"
Most of the shops read Closed on their doors. Link's arm was hurting badly.
"Looking for something boy?" A voice said behind them.
Link turned around. A youngwoman about twenty-five was standing there, "Ouch that wound looks bad!"
"Yeah, I'm looking for something for it, but I can't find anything," Link said.
"Well, I can help you. Come with me," She lead them though a rather dark alleyway untill they reached a duilding that read 32054. She opened the door and led Link into a one-room shop, "This is where I work, my bedroom is upstairs." They walked up some stairs. She opened the door at the top and lit a candle. They were in a one-room flat. There was a small kitchen in the corner. She walked over to it and grabbed some bandaging and a damp cloth.
"Now, let's clean this," She patted the wound with the cloth. Link gritted his teeth in pain. The woman then wrapped it in the bandage.
"There, all done!"
Most of Link's left forearm was bandaged.
"It'll most likely leave behind a scar, but nothing that bad." She said.
"Thanks!" Link said. He quickly exited the woman's shop.
"Now! Let's go to the castle."
Link walked towards the castle and soon saw a gate and a guard.
"I need to see the Princess," Link said.
"I'm terribly sorry kid, but I cannot let you in," the guard said.
"WH...WHAT? WHY NOT?" Link said.
"Er...there have been recent...Security breaches," The guard said.
"Security breaches?" Link said.
"Break-ins, therefore, the King will not let anyone else in untill next month."
"NEXT MONTH! I HAVE TO GET IN RIGHT NOW!"
"What do you need that is so important?"
"I need to give this stone to the Princess," Link showed the guard the Kokiri Emerald.
"Fine, though you'll need to sneak in. Go through the small river that lies beyond this gate, and eventually you'll reach a courtyard where the Princess is most likely," the guard said and opened the gate.
"Yes!" Link said to himself as he ran towards the river and hopped in.
"Link your bandage!" Navi yelled.
"Oh well!" Link said. He swam through a tunnel for several minutes. He then saw light. He got out. He was in a beautiful courtyard with beautful flowers and trees. A small marble staircase lead to a window. He then saw a girl staring through the window.
Was she the Princess? Thought Link. He had no idea, but he had to find out.
"Excuse me?" Link said.
The girl turned around. She wore a pink and white dress with matching headress. She had bits of blonde hair poking out of the bottom of the headress and blue eyes.
"Who...are you? How'd you get past the castle guards-" The girl stopped. She took a closer look at Link then saw Navi. "Is that a fairy?"
"Yes," Link said.
"Do you come from the Kokiri Forest?" She asked him.
"Yeah."
"And did you recive a green stone, the Kokiri Emerald from the Great Deku Tree?"
"Yeah," Link showed her the Spiritual Stone of the forest. The girl's face lit up.
"Oh how foolish of myself, we haven't even had a proper introduction! I'm Princess Zelda."
