Chappie 7! This one doesn't go by OOT's storyline, because I wanted to add a few other characters that I made up. I also made this one because I wanna make Link's childhood last atleast another three chapters. I do not own Zelda.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Chapter VII
A Search
Link grew tired as he walked through Hyrule Fied. He had no idea where the last stone was. He knew he couldn't ask Zelda. The mid-afternoon sun told him she was most likely in a meeting. He couldn't give up. He collapsed under a tree.
"Who knew Hyrule was so...big," Link said, whiping sweat from his face.
"The Great Deku Tree always said Hyrule was larger than anyone could imagine," Navi said in her know-it-all voice. She stopped, "I hear...hooves."
Link could now see in the horizion 2 figures of horses aproching, one was shorter than the other. Link couldn't see who they were though, for the sun was making his sight blurry. He could soon see who were on the horses.
One was a young girl. Link's heart fell when he saw it wasn't Zelda. The other was a man, about thirty or so. They both got off their horses when they saw Link. He could see them more clearly now.
The man was tall, about six feet. He had long brown hair tied back in a ponytail. His sharp green eyes were focused on Link. He was wearing a red long slevedshirt and black pants. Several belts were fastened on his torso. He wore brown leather boots and fingerless gloves on his hands and feet. Link could see a black hilt of a sword on his back. Link soon looked at the girl. She was much shorter than the man next to her. She wore a pink dress with black detail and work boots, much like Malon's. She had shoulder length light brunette hair and green eyes,much like the man next to her. Were they related?
The man spoke with a strong voice, "You shouldn't be out here at this time, it is far too dangerous."
"But I-"
"I was put under strict orders by the King to escort anyone on this field to safer grounds. Night is aproching," The man interupted.
"I was sent by Princess Zelda!" Link said before the man could interupt again.
"What is your name boy?" He asked.
"Link, my name's Link!"
"I see...Princess Zelda told me about you. Have you found the Spiritul Stone of Fire?" The man asked.
"Yes!" Link showed him th Goron Ruby.
"I see I can trust you. My name is Korona, and this is Tani, my daughter," He pointed to the girl next to him. She blushed in embaressment.
"Now that you're here I can deliver you a message."
"But I thought you were under the King's order," Link said.
"Yes...though I do not always trust the King anymore," Korona said.
"Why not?" Link asked.
"I was a former general in the Hylian army. Though it was years ago, now I run a small training school in Kakariko Village," Korona finished.
"But why do you still help the King though you don't work for him?"
"The King thinks I am still worthy of the job, though I am not," Korona said.
"What do you mean worthy?" Link asked.
"I'll tell you later but I have to tell you something more important than that," Korona replied.
"What?"
"The last-" Korona stopped. He turned around. Many figures were running their way. "TANI! LINK! HIDE NOW!"
Tani imeadatly ran towards some srubbary and hid inside it. Link, however, remained.
"Link, go!" Korona yelled.
They were getting closer, Korona pushed Link in the direction of the shurbbary. Link ran towards it and hid next to Tani, who looked frightened. He could soon see the figures of the people. They were women, with long red hair and burning red eyes, much like Ganondorf's. They drew their long katanas at Korona, who drew his sword and sheild. Tani gave a yelp and covered her eyes. The battle was very intense. Korona blocked most of their attacks.
"Please...be...okay," Tani said in a frightened tone.
Link turned to Tani and patted her on the back. He then heard a scream and Tani begain crying. He looked out at the battle. Korona was lying on the ground on his back. One of the women, who was wearing all black instead of pink like the others had her blade high in the air, about to stab Korona. Link wouldn't see him die.Espicially in front of his daiughter.He sprinted out of the bushes and jumped right in front of Korona. He held up his sheild.
Crack!
The woman's blade went right through the Deku Sheild, almost touching Link's forehead.
"What the hell?" One of them said.
Link lowered his Deku Sheild. The women begain laughing.
"You're just...a kid!" Another one said.
However, the one in all-black wasn't laughing.
"How dare you interfear with our business boy!" She spoke.
Link drew the Kokiri sword out ofit's sheath.
"You have courage boy, I can't deny that. You might've won this time..GUH!"
Someone had rammed themself into the woman. She fell on the ground unconcious. Link looked at the man. It was Korona.
"You're okay!" Link said happily.
"It's only a scratch," Korona said. They looked out. All the other women had gone, leaving the strange one in black alone.
"Tani, it's okay, you can come out," Korona called. The small girl ran out of the biushes and hugged her father tightly.
"You're...okay," She said as tears of joy dripped down her face.
"Link, I have to thank you for what you have done. You saved my life," Korona said.
Tani then grabbed Link so tightly that he almost stopped breathing, "Thank you so much..."
Link looked down at the Deku Sheild, which had a large hole in it's center. He groaned. He had no sheild.
"That's a pretty defective shield," Korona said.
"Yeah..." Link said.
"Here, take this, it might be a little heavy but it'll protect you," Korona handed Link his sheild, it had the crest of the royal family on it. It was really heavy. Link put it on his back. He would have to duck, but it would work.
"It's a Hylian sheild, It won't break like your other one," Korona said.
"Thanks! What were you going to tell me before we were interupted by those...er.." Link said.
"Gerudos, the people in the desert, now about that. The final Spiritual Stone is at Zora's Domain, just follow this river," Korona said.
"Okay i'll go there! Bye!" Link said as he headed down the river.
"THANK YOU LINK!" He heard Tani's voice scream.
"That was very brave of you, Link," Navi said.
"Really? You think so?" Link said.
"Of course!" Navi said.
They both continued down the river as the sun set.
This was a super fun chapter to write. Link hasn't done any intense battles yet but it gets better! If you're wondering who the Gerudo dressed in black was, that was Nirana, yet another of my madeups. She's a leader of a Gerudo army, picked by Ganondorf. I don't want to spoil it too much, so you'll just have to wait till next chapter!
