Hello again! Thanks again for the reviews! Sadly one of them was cut in half due its length. But the main points did come across. :D
As a side note: When I think about Ganondorf I see the Twilight Princess model. (He is SO much better-looking than the other ones. XD) Go google him if you haven't played TP. (Or don't. Whatever pleases you.)
3.
The houses in Hyrule Castle Town were made of stone, stone! Link was puzzled. "Do they not freeze at night?" he wondered. Navi was not much wiser about the matter. "I think people use fire to keep themselves warm at nights." Link burst laughing. "That's insane! Why would they set their own house in fire?! No way!"
"If you are just going to laugh at me then shut up!"
'Oh, snap,' Link suddenly remembered that the fairy was still angry with him. The proud little thing with wings was seriously hurt. Not wanting to see Link's face she curled up into his pouch. It was warm cosy there.
Link let out a long and exhausted sigh. "Navi, I- Are you STILL angry about what I said last night?"
No answer.
"But you know, you really DID bring it upon yourself. I was tired and you insisted in being annoying." Link felt guilty. He had known, he shouldn't have lost his temper that way. He knew that Navi felt bad she could not actually help in battle, and thus tried to help in her own way.
The city guard had refused to let them in in the middle of night, so they had to fight off those stupid monsters the whole night. It's not like the monsters had been scary or strong or anything like that, but battling the whole night had somewhat tired Link and somewhere after the 50th 'Hey, listen!" sympathy had sunk extraordinarily low and he had snapped at his new, blue, tiny friend.
A tiny, yet angry snarl escaped his pouch.
Another long sigh. Since they had arrived Kink had discovered new, incredible things every other second. Most of the people were almost twice his size. The houses were greatly different from the trees in Kokiri Forest. Foreign, delicious-looking foods were sold at every corner.
The world was so marvellous, yet he was not really able to celebrate it. Not when things were like this. What was he doing? It was the second day of his journey and he no longer got along with his only companion. He had wished and prayed every night that the next day would bring him a fairy. Now he had one and he had already screwed up.
If he was not able to keep his friends happy, how could he save anyone? Let alone banish the evil and save Hyrule? No, this had to stop now!
"Navi, I'm sorry I snapped you. It won't happen again. I promise."
No answer. It seems he was not convincing enough.
Link thought hard. Just what could placate his friend? Of course!
"Naaviii." Link's mouth curled into a sly grin. "If you are willing to forget this fight, you have my permission to sleep in my hat for one week." This plan could never fail. Link knew the fairies could not resist sleeping in Kokiri hats. They were just the right shape.
Link heard some kind of mumbling from the pouch.
"What?" he asked.
The blue ball left his pouch with rampant speed and suddenly Navi was floating right before Link's face, eyes sparkling. "Three weeks and we have a deal!" Taken aback by Navi's extreme reaction Link remained silent for a moment. Then his face broke into a smile.
"Deal!" At least some problems he could solve without violence.
"Three thousand deku nuts! That building is big!" Link and Navi just stood (foated) there, mouths open. "Never seen a castle, kid? Ya must not be from 'ere." The mister from the fruit shop had kindly guided them to the Hyrule castle, when they had asked. And who would not want to guide someone who had just bought a whole day's worth of fruit. (The rupees were found in every pot and Link had trouble spending them all, as his wallet was quite small and could not store very much.)
"But why would someone want to live in a house that big?" Link was amazed. "Do they not get lonely?" Link genuinely felt sorry for the resident.
"The King an' 'is daughter live there. An' they are not alone. They 'ave loads servants an' guards an' stuff. To protect an' serve them ya know."
"You mean Princess Zelda, right?" Link was getting excited.
The day was getting better and better. They now knew where princess was. Maybe the rest would be easy!
"But no common person 'as nothin' to do with the princess. At least not a kid like ya."
Or not.
"Why not?! We really need to meet her! It's really important." Just like that their hopes for an easy mission slipped away.
"Commoners an' princesses are not meant to meet. That's just 'ow it is. If ya are going to sneak to the castle, good luck. The guards don't let a fly get through" he said and left them alone.
Link was not exactly sure, why everything had to be this complicated. He only knew that he had to meet the princess and she was inside that castle. To get to the castle, he would have to find a way past all those guards unnoticed. He had tried to explain the situation to one of them , but he had simply laughed and thrown him out without even trying to understand. "A tree sent you to meet the princess? You sure have some imagination, child!"
"Let's use some kind of disguise to get past them. We could hide into that milk cart that's making deliveries to the castle." Navi's idea was not the safest one but by so far the best one they had come up with. With this their way to the castle was clear, but they still had to deal with any guards patrolling inside.
In the end that was not a big problem. "Those guards are about as blind as moles! We were so close yet they could not see us!" Navi felt somehow very smug about tricking those guards. She was hardly ever able to hide from anyone due to her wings that kept buzzing, whenever she flew. "That is not a very nice thing to say," Link scolded her fairy. "See their helmets? They cover their entire head and they can't see anything that's not right before them," he explained.
"Well that is a pretty bad choice of helmet for guards!" Navi laughed. She was right. A guard that cannot see is a pretty bad guard. Link began to doubt whether the king was blind himself.
Link did not dislike girls. His best friend was a girl, so he had no reason to. That's why he found it odd that some boys from the Kokiri Forest acted as if girls were some kind of disgusting species. Because Link did not dislike girls, he had no problem having a female fairy. Because Link did not dislike girls, he easily got along with Zelda.
Zelda had been rather surprised when a strange boy in green suddenly barged in her garden, but she soon grew a smile as she hardly ever got to talk with other children. She seemed very interested about everything Link told her about the forest. It was also her first time ever seeing a real fairy. Needless to say the three of them had lot to talk about.
The garden was full of beautiful flowers and everywhere smelled good. In this place Link felt he could let his mind rest and forget everything sad just for a moment.
Unfortunately the peace was short-lived.
"Link," Zelda began, "I need to tell you about the dream I saw." The friendly atmosphere was gone. Link knew something serious was coming. Zelda took Link's hand and dragged him to the window nearby. "Do you see that man? He is my father's prime minister." Link looked and was struck by an uncomfortable sensation. The man had a dark skin and flaming red hair. He was also by far the largest person Link had ever seen. But these aspects tuned pale before the dark aura surrounding the man, and just by looking at him Link understood what those girls, scared by darkness, were feeling back then.
For the first time in his life, he was afraid.
"His name is Ganondorf Dragmire. And I think he wants to steal the very power of gods, the Triforce." That was a word, he had heard before. How many times had The Great Deku Tree told stories about the creation of the world?
"That emerald you brought with you, Ganondorf needs it to find the Triforce. You need to take care of that stone and find the other two before he does!" Link found it easy agree with the princess. If he would go and find those other stones, his path would eventually cross with Ganondorf's and the he would get his answers.
Besides, he really wanted to help Zelda.
"I will do it. But tell me one thing, Zelda. Why do you thing he wants the Triforce?"
Zelda looked at Link like he had asked the most idiotic question in the world.
"Why, you ask. I think the answer to that is a rather obvious, Link. It's because he is evil at heart of course!"
And there that answer was again. Did everyone really believe that?
They showed the first trailer about the next Zelda-game in E3! I loved it! I really can't wait. I'm not exactly sure what to think about Hyrule Warriors, but that new model of Link is damn pretty 3
Tomorrow I'm traveling to Japan for ten days. I won't be writing anything there, but the next chapter is already mostly finished in my mind.
Until next time!
