So...his name is Link?

A white haired women could be seen standing on a hill, looking over the end result of a battle that took place in a near forest. It was devastating...to say the lest. The ground was completely scorched, while small fires still burned brightly next to the craters that were caused from various bombs. Dead bodies were scattered all around the battle zone, both man and monster, surrounded in a pool of their own blood.

Weapons of all shapes and sizes stoke out of the bodies, while the odder of rotting corpses could be smell even from were she was standing. Most of the tree's in the area had been knocked down in some way, some laid on top of the bodies of various soldiers. None of the monsters survived, while any people that had survived were dying slowly due to the poison that was on the creatures blades. In short, there was nothing she could do for them.

The white women sighed, as she looked down at the bundle in her arms. He had slept through the entire thing. All the screaming, all explosions...all of the pain. He was all that was left, since his parents had died fighting as well. She was his aunt, on his mother's side and that's why it was all the more heart breaking when her sister's husband arrived on her door step with the child and the news. That was before he ran off to by some time for her to escape the battle zone, she was sure that the mans body laid somewhere among the rest in the now scourged forest.

The women walked away from the battle, as she watched the child wake up and greet her with a smile that she return. The women thought for a moment, before stopping in her tracks and turning her attention back to the child. " You know...your father neglected to mention your name." The women said, as the child in her arms just looked up at her confusedly. The white haired women just smiled at him. " I guess that I'll just have to come up with a name for you. How about...Link?" The child just smiled at her, while the women looked satisfied with the child's reply.

" So it's decided, from now on your name is Link." The women stated, as she continued to walk forward, never once looking back...

15 years later...

The sun shined brightly down on a small village, as the wind blew gently through the tree's. Various animals could be seen moving through out the forest that surrounded the village, while signs of an early spring was clearly present. The villagers were busy with their daily business, while the streets were full to the brim with people. The street itself was full of merchants, travelers, traders, villagers ( etc.)..Of course, it was a peaceful place, full of kind people that always welcomed others. The only problem about the village was...that it was restricted to most people.

The village was in direct command of the royal family and had always served them since the beginning. Of course, even with how loyal they had been, the royal family still wanted a 'leash' on them and so restricted the towns people from leaving the village without permission from them. Regardless, the towns people were happy with their lives, and would gladly fight for them. No matter how lazy they could be...speaking of which.

A little north of the village was a very small ranch. With having a barn, a large pastern, and one extremely large house, you'd expect it to swarming with people. All well, it meant more of an easy life for one particular person...

"Link!" A blond hair teen shot up from were he was sleeping in a pile of hay. " Link, where are you?" The blonds eye's took a moment to focus, before his mind finally noticed that someone was calling him.

"Oh shit.." Link thought, as he jumped up and brushed off the hay that was on the back of his green T shirt and most of his black pants. He didn't need to worry about anything below the ankle, since the pants were tucked into his brown boots. He then proceeded to wipe the hay away from the long sleeves of the white shirt he wore underneath his green one. It was a little more annoying to whip the hay off of the long sleeves, on the count that they were oversized like his pants. Finally, he took off his green cap and brushed off the little piece's of hay. Giving extra care at the very end of the cap where a bird looking head was.

After that, he quickly looked around the barn for something, anything to help him. That was until he felt something brush against his back. Link turned around to face a brown horse with a white main. The horse moved its head over to a group of shovels in the corner. Link had a confused expression, until he saw which shovel the horse was pointing at. Link looked at the horse like it was crazy.

" There is no way in hell that im-."

"Link!"

" On second thought, I'll take it." After a few moments of rearranging things and of praying that the person would by it, someone stepped into the room.

A blond girl around the age of thirteen entered the room. She wore a green shirt and a white skirt that went down to around mid leg. Her brown boots made various noise's as she ran into the room, the little blue ruppe neckless around her neck swayed a bit. Upon seeing it, Link could defiantly say that it was her.

"She never goes anywhere without it." Link though dryly, as he continued to do what he previously planned. Overlooking how pissed the girl looked.

"Link! " The girl yelled, as she walked around the barn. " You better not have been sleeping again!" Link was glad that she screamed out at him a head of time. At least he had a chance of not being caught. The girl circled the barn, looking everywhere for him, until she reached where the brown horse was. The girl smile, as she walked up to the horse and petted it.

" Hello Epona, do you know where Link is?" The girl asked the horse, as the horse neighed and moved it's head over to the right. The girl looked over in that direction to see Link shoveling something.

" Hello, Link." The girl said, as Link looked up from his 'work.'

" Hello Anju, what brings you here?" Link said, as he continued to shovel, Anju just stared at him while he worked. She continued to stare for a moment, before remembering what she needed to do.

" I came to tell you that Impa has not only summoned you, but wants you to come fully equipped." Anju said, as Link just froze and looked up at her in shock.

" In the middle of the day? There are still people passing by the barn!" Link stated, as Anju just waved him off.

" She said it was an emergency, so I suggest you hurry." Anju said, as Link sighed and went to put the shovel up. " Oh and Link, when did you take up the job of shoveling the horse manure?" Anju asked, as Link froze once again.

" I thought...that I would give Mido a break." Link lied, as he looked back at her with a sheepish smiled. Anju just grinned slightly, as she made her way towards the exit.

" How nice of you Link! I am sure you won't mind giving him a break for the next week or two, right?" Anju said, as she passed by Link on her way out. Link just kept his sheepish smile.

" S-Sure, I'd love to." Link stated, as Anju looked back at him.

" Great, I'll go tell him right now!" She said, as she ran towards the farm house. Link sighed, as he put the shovel back in its place next to the others. Epona neighed loudly, as Link glared at the horse.

" Shut up, I may be stuck with having to shovel you crap for the next two weeks, but I'm also the one that feeds you, remember?" Link stated with a grin, while the horse stopped instantly. Link laughed, as he walked out of the barn and towards the farm house.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Hookshot...check."

" Bombs...check."

" Deku nuts...check. Okay, I think that's everything." Link said, as he went over his checklist. It was a mandatory thing for trainee's. He was suppose to go over everything after getting his suit on. Which reminded Link to look over at the looker rooms life size mirror to see if the suit was on properly.

The suit itself was a body suit, clinging to your body like a second skin. The damn thing made it to were you could hardly breath, but it could save your life if the situation called for it. It was a dark forest green and had various plates of armor all around it, mainly the upper body and the legs were covered. The symbol of the Sheikah was on his chest plate. His lower face had to be covered with bandages, while his long hair had to be put into a long ass brad. His red eyes seemed to have a piercing effect when he looked at them in the mirror.

A flat grey rectangular object was on each of his arms, them being as long as his arms. In one quick movement, he moved his arms downwards, causing a blade to shoot out of both of the rectangular objects. The various bags on his belt swayed, as Link swung his swords to get a feel of them. Once he was satisfied that everything was in order, he loaded his blades and walked out the door.

The house in general was like a maze to most people with four floors, three floor's and a basement. It had at least 8 rooms on each floor it was quite easy to get lost. He was currently on the 1st floor, or was in the basement. The reasons why their was so many rooms was that there were over twenty people living in the house, all of them trainee's. They had to do mandatory training along with taking care of all the animals that Impa had. Mostly it was just taking care of the horse that you ride on, but some people got other jobs, like taking care of and milking the cows, or shoveling the animals crap, for example. Link mumbled something, as he thought about how he was stuck with extra work...again.

It had become somewhat of a sport for the others, to try and catch him sleeping. They were being trained to become bodyguards and attendants of the royal family, so naturally, it was 'frowned' upon to see a trainee slacking off so much. So the others tried to find him and blackmail him into doing their work for a few weeks...and yes, Impa knew all about this. Link sighed, as he walked down the hall and towards the stairs. The basement was actually a series of hallways from which they stored all the non-living things that they needed. Why, because anyone that was out of town would get some ideas if they saw their 'gear', so it was kept down stairs.

Link walked through the door and into the kitchen to find a girl with long red hair at the counter drinking some tea. The girl looked up at him, or his outfit and smiled. " you know, I can never get used to you wearing that." The girl stated. She looked around 17 years old and had brown eyes. She wore A green shirt and a black skirt that came to her ankles. She wore brown boots and a very bright blue colored earrings. Her face seemed to have a more mature look then others, and it sure as hell was something you didn't want to see when she was pissed. Something Link learned the hard way.

" Hello Malon. I'd like to talk, but I really have to go." Link said, as He began to walk towards the exit. He did not want to go through being teased again for the color of his suit. While others had either chosen black, red, or blue, he was the first to actually choose green. Which made him more of a target to the others when they had a free for all training session.

" I heard that you were summon by Impa." Malon said, as Link froze.

' Well yeah, but for all we know she could be chewing me out again or having a ambush waiting for me...again." Link stated, as Malon finished her tea and put the cup in the sink, before walking up to him.

" For all you know, you could be receiving your first mission." Malon stated, as she leaned forward enough to were their faces were very close. Link froze, while Malon just smiled. " And if you are, good luck." She said, as she winked at him and pulled back. Malon then headed up the stairs, while Link watched her go up, before sighing and heading out the door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gentle breeze felt refreshing to Link, as he walked over the pasture. Some horses were galloping around it, while a few trainee's could be seen near the fence. Link waved to them, why they waved back, before going back to what they were previously doing. From what link could tell, they were talking about something.

" ...Crap." Link thought, as he wondered if word had gotten around the ranch already. If they did, the other trainees would bombard him with questions about the mission when he got back. For once, he hoped that Impa was calling him over just to yell at him.

He continued to make his way over the pasture and towards a large well, full to the brink with water. Link moved his hands to his belt and pulled out what looked like an ocarina, before taking in a deep breath and playing a light tune. He played for several minutes until the ground shook a bit and the waterdrained into the ground. Link then jumped down the well and made his way through the hall that was at the very bottom. It only took him a minute to reach the other end.

When Link reached the door, he knocked on it and slowly turned the door knob, before making his way inside. When he reached the middle of the room, he just stared at the white haired women that was in front of him. " You summoned me, Impa?"
