Chapter 3

Meanwhile, deep in the forbidden gardens of hyrule castle sits princess Zelda, on the steps in the castle courtyard. Where she first met link…… and they last said good bye. Now our dear sweet princess weeps about her departure, and her first, true love. She closes her eyes and remembers that fateful day when she had said good bye to the great hero of time ………

"But why must you leave so soon?" asks the young princess

"I must go now." replied link "But I have something to give you before I leave"

Link raised his left hand over top of his right hand 'fringgggggg' a bright flash of light shone out across the castle courtyard. Zelda peered down at her right hand. The triforce of courage was on her hand as well as her own triforce piece.

"You hold on to this for me until I get back and when I do, it will find me" so link saying all that he wanted turned around to leave.

"Wait!" she calls to him. Link stops and looks at her. "I have something to give you too. Take this it will help you on your quest" as Zelda walked towards link she took out the ocarina, she then placed it into his hands "I'm sure your going to need it… good bye Link."

Link took the ocarina into his hand yet he did not let go of Zelda. Link looked deeply into her eyes. He said nothing but Zelda knew that he had just said something, she did not know what but she knew it was important. Link let go of her hands. He didn't hesitate and turned around and headed to the exit of the courtyard but was stopped by Malon standing in his way. She pulled Epona forwards and handed him the reins.

"I heard you were leaving. Take her."

Link grasped the reins firmly and smiled at her, and she smiled back.

"Good bye." He said. He walked into the distance holding the reins of his new horse. A tear fell from the princess's tender face.

"Good bye, link"

Zelda suddenly felt a tingle inside her hand. She blinked her eyes coming out of her daydream. She held her right hand with her left. Their suddenly was a short pain inside of her hand.

A bright light glared out from under her left hand. As she removed her hand the two triforce pieces that she possessed floated atop her. Zinnngggg! The triforce of courage disappeared in a streak of light heading northeast. She knew were it had gone to.

"GUARDS!" she yelled. Two guards ran around the corner.

"Yes princess?" they asked her

"Round up ten of your fastest men. Head northeast. You should hopefully find a man dressed in green with a similar colored hat, he also possesses a hylilian shield and a dark colored horse." She ordered the men, "I want you to bring him back for me and anyone else that is with him, if there are any. If you can bring him back to me unharmed and alive I will give you all a great reward of rupees."

"Yes right away princess" replied the solders and ran off to get ready.

Have you really returned to hyrule, link?
