Oh, and don't forget to review. Ok, now without further a due I present my fanfic. J
The Forgotten Adventure
of Link
Chapter 1
Just Getting Started
It was the night of Link's 18th birthday. He was almost six feet tall and not very muscle bound, yet he was surprisingly strong. He wore his usual green tunic over a thin chain mail, under it he wore a plain white shirt and white pants. He also wore brown boots that went almost to his knees. On his hands he wore gauntlets with the symbol of the Triforce on them. On his head he wore a long pointy hat that folded over to his back to hide his golden blond hair.
That night Link was having a dream. He dreamed that he was overlooking a foggy valley with a ruined temple in the middle. Suddenly a loud menacing voice broke the tranquility of the scene.
"I'm almost free and when I get out I'm coming for you LINK, WAH HA HA HA!" Link suddenly woke up drenched in a cold sweat.
He was so worried that in the middle of the night he rode to his uncle's house. He started telling his uncle the horrible dream, but his uncle was as confused and worried as he was. So he promised to take Link to the wise man.
So Link and his father went to see the wise man.
"Link you must respect Nimion he was a great leader in the past," his uncle warned.
"Hello, who are you and how can I be of help?" Nimion asked in a raspy voice. He was hunched over a crystal ball as they entered. He was almost completely bald and had a beard almost down to the floor. His hands looked like skeleton's hands. And you could barely see his sunken in eyes.
"My nephew had a very interesting dream last night and we were wondering if you could tell us what it meant," his uncle explained.
"Well let us see what I can do." said Nimion.
So Link told Nimion his dream. "Let me tell you the legend of the Triforce young one. One day long ago in an ancient time three entities created our world. When they created this world they decided to leave a piece of themselves on this planet. They created an alternate dimension that existed along side this one. This land was rumored to have skies that glowed gold with rivers like crystal. Over time the Triforce began to draw people to itself.
One day quite by accident a band of Gerudo thieves skilled at magic opened a portal to this dimension. Over the horizon they saw the Triforce emitting glorious golden light. Ganondorf, the leader of the thieves actually killed his own followers for a chance to touch it. As he reached for it he heard a faint voice call out to him. What do you wish for.
No one knows what he actually wished for, but over time people noticed an evil presence coming out of the portal. The king of the land ordered seven of the most skilled sages to seal the opening to the world. A great battle ensued between the king's royal knights and a horde of evil beings conjured up by Ganondorf. Eventually the sages were able to cast a spell that would seal the entrance to that dimension forever, or so they thought. Nimion told Link
"Prophecy has it that one day that seal will be broken and the greatest evil of all will threaten the both Hyrule and the Gold World.
It also tells of a brave, young warrior will emerge from Hyrule to defeat this evil and defend the land. That young warrior is YOU." Nimion told Link.
"But how can this be true, I'm just the son of a blacksmith, or so I've heard." protested Link with a shocked voice.
"Link, let me tell you something that I've kept secret for far too long." said Link's uncle. You father was not always a blacksmith, but a royal general probably the best there was. Then one day the king received this letter from one of the scouts saying "Prepare, for the enemy has unleashed all its wrath and sent an army of at least 10,000 strong!" It was then that he took command of all the armies in the land and we marched to battle our foes. Then in the midst of the horrifying battle a stray arrow hit him in the heart. He died and left your mother to care for you until she was attacked by Gerudos and brought you to Kokiri Forest.
"Tomorrow I will give you the essentials that you will be needing on your long, difficult journey, my son. I will pray for you to help you conquer this evil," said Link's uncle as he tried to stop himself from crying.
So the next day Link was given his father's old sword and a shield along with 100 rupees. He then said goodbye to his uncle and after taking a deep breath and one last look at his home he set off. The first thing he did was go to the market and buy a map of the land.
Suddenly a man caught his attention "Hey, you have you heard that there was a sound like thunder in the Temple of Time last night? Some say it was Ganondorf unleashing his minions to the land." With that little tip Link went to enter the Temple of Time. When he got there he came upon an inscription that read. "Only he who passes the test of time and passes through time's mysterious realm may enter." In spite of this warning Link tried to open the door only to be met by a violent burst of electricity. "Well I guess that's out of the question for now," said Link as he recovered from the shock. So he went on his way in search for clues that might lead to the Temple of Time's riddle.
On his way out of town he heard a scream. He ran to see what it was about, there he saw a big brutish looking thief attacking a girl.
"Hey you, get your grimy hands off her!" Link yelled, and sure enough he let go of her only to turn and draw his knife on Link. Link drew his sword and waited for the thief to make the first move, he lunged at Link with all his might, but all Link did was stealthily turn to the side and dodge the attack. While he moved to the side he swung the flat side of his sword and hit the thief in the back of his head, sending him sprawling into a wall. Then with a swift move of his sword Link knocked the big guy unconscious and tied him up.
"Why thank you so much. You were so brave, where did you learn to fight so skillfully?" asked the girl shyly.
"I learned as a boy training with my uncle who was a royal general." Link said carelessly.
"Well it was nice meeting you, I'm positive we'll see each other again someday." she said.
When the news got out through the town they were overwhelmed with joy. " That was the most wanted man in town and you captured him like it was nothing. As a token of our appreciation take this reward of 500 rupees and a great sword." The next day Link had been traveling on the road for miles when he saw a sign that read "This way to Mt. Wisp." It was a mysterious place surrounded by many myths and legends. "Eh, why not go, there could be some valuable info there." So Link began along the road to Mt. Wisp.
