The Legend of Zelda; The Whole Legend
Chapter 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was looking in the glass window from the gardens. What was that sound? I turned around to see a young boy in green, with a small fairy bobbing above his head. He apparently had just tripped over the vine, because he brushing the dirt off of his clothes, and when he looked up at me, he slightly blushed. "Princess Zelda?" He asked. "Yes. I am Princess Zelda. And you...?" I replied.
Then that faded. A new scene came up.-------
"Come Zelda. Hurry, or he will catch us." cried Impa. She lifted me on the horse and jumped up. "Hiyah!" She yelled as she kicked the horse in the ribs. The horse took off. I was locked in Impa's grip. We were racing past the guard gate on the Castle road. Then through the market. The Market had already been destroyed. The people's faces as they looked at us fleeing looked scared. I heard hoof beats behind us. Then we ran out across the bridge on the outside moat. I saw the young boy in green and his fairy. I had the instrument in my hand. I looked at the boy, then the moat. I threw it into the moat. We rode fast through the rain. I looked back in time to see a man on a black horse shoot something at the boy in green."Nooo!" I yelled, unable to be heard through the rain.
"Ahh!" I gasped as I quickly sat up in my bed. I wiped the sweat from my forehead. Wow, I thought to myself, that was a horrible dream. It must be important, if I have it so often. I'll tell Impa in the morning.
I yawned and laid my head back down. Suddenly a cucco crowed somewhere, and the sun came and shone on my face. I yawned again as I heard a knock on the door. "I'm asleep." I mumbled.
"It's Impa. I'm coming in", my trusted protector said as she opened the door, then shut it behind her. "And it is time for you to wake, Princess Zelda. You know your father has an important meeting with the Gerudo today."
"Yes I remember Impa," I replied, "And I told you to call me by my name. We know each other well enough that titles do not matter."
"Yes, Zelda. Let's get ready. You are to wait in the Garden while the meeting goes on." Impa explained. I got dressed, and we left my room. As we walked down the long hall, I told Impa about my dreams.
"Impa. I had the dreams again. I've been having them for a week now." I told her.
"Those dreams? Again? You mean the one about the boy in green? Or the one where we are pursued by someone in a storm in the middle of the night?"
"Both" I replied. "I had both of them last night. I don't understand why I'm having such weird dreams. What do you think Impa?"
"Well." we kept walking as she thought. "I suppose it is possible for you to have prophetic dreams. But I do not know why they are about someone we are about to make peace with. And I don't understand the young boy in green either." We continued to walk as Impa thought about the dreams. It was no doubt about the boy in green. It dreams had been occurring for a week, the same two dreams. We didn't know why I was having the dreams, or what they meant exactly, although I had my own theories.
Finally we reached the Courtyard Gardens. I walked up to my little platform. I used to like to sit there and watch my father, the King, talk to people. But today I was watching and listening for a specific reason. I wanted to hear the conversation between my father and the Gerudo man. I heard his name was Ganondorf, and that he was the king of all the Gerudos. I had also heard that the Gerudo people were thieves. And my father, despite my warnings, went ahead and let the evil man walk right into his castle. My father refused to believed my dreams, because he didn't think they were real prophecies.
As I sat and stared into the window, I saw a big man walk up and talk to my father. He had red hair, and wore black armor and shredded cloth. "He is the man from the dream" I whispered to Impa. Then I said, "Impa, I am dreadfully thirsty, could you please get me a drink?" She nodded and walked back through the door. I stood another moment looking through the window before I heard something. I slowly turned around, and to my amazement I saw a young boy in green. He was brushing the dirt off of his clothes, and looked at me and blushed. He had messy blonde hair on the sides of his face, and the bluest eyes I had ever seen. I giggled. He must have fallen over the vine. Then I thought. Just like in my dream.
"Um. Hi. Princess Zelda?", he asked.
"Hmhmm. Yes. I am Princess Zelda. And you..." I answered. I looked him up and down. I still didn't know if this was the boy from my dreams, although I was pretty sure. Suddenly I saw a little fairy bobbing above his head. I gasped and I felt my eyes widen as I realized that this boy really was the one...
"You're the one from my dreams!" We said together. Then I started talking. I figured I knew more about what was going on, so I should probably start explaining it.
"I have had prophetic dreams, though no one believes them. There is a man that my father has agreed to make peace with. This man is the King of Gerudos, Ganondorf. Look through the window. I have been having dreams about him, and I suspect you have too."
"Yes, I have had the dream too," he replied, "But I'm not sure what it means. I was sent here by... Oh! Princess. Here, this is from the Great Deku Tree. He sent me."
He stuck his hands deep into his pockets and pulled up a stone. My eyes again widened as I looked at this mysterious young boy in green holding the Kokiri's Emerald. The Emerald glimmered brightly against his tattered green clothing.
I was starting to understand what was going on. "You... "
"My name is Link," he quietly replied, realizing I was thinking about what to say next.
I slowly nodded, "Link. You have a great journey ahead of you. I believe this Ganondorf is evil. I think he is trying to take my father's power, so he can rule all the land." I told him, "I am worried because no one believes me. Except for my caretaker. And you believe me too, don't you?"
He looked around, then back at me, "Yes, I believe you. Although it doesn't make sense that no one believes you. You are the princess." I rolled my eyes, although admitted that he was probably right. Why would I lie to my own father? Link continued to talk. His voice instantly gave me comfort from the evil man inside the castle.
"No one believed me when I told them, except for my friend, Saria. Saria believes anything I tell her, and her friendship means a lot. When I left Kokiri Village, she gave me this to remember her by."
Link held out the Fairy Ocarina to show me. He looked proud of it. I looked at it and smiled. It reminded me of the Ocarina of Time, that was hidden in my pocket.
I nodded again. "Link, what you do is very important. I know you can beat Ganondorf." He looked up at me, surprised. I guess I might have gotten too far ahead of myself. I continued, "You have already received the Kokiri's Emerald. Now it is time for you to fulfill this part of your destiny, and get the Goron's Ruby and Zora's Sapphire. You must return them to the Temple of Time. Then you must follow the inscription on the alter to open the Doors of Time. The Master Sword will be set in the pedestal. It can only be pulled out by the Chosen One, Link. I believe you are the Chosen One." I stopped and looked at him to see that he understood. I had to think of what else I had to tell him.
He looked at the window, then back at me. "I... I don't know Zelda. How will I make it that far? I made it through the battle in the Deku Tree by luck." He said. The look on confusion made him look kind of cute.
I shook my head to get rid of the thought. I shouldn't be thinking such thoughts when there may be trouble in Hyrule. Then I whispered, "No Link. It wasn't through luck that you beat what was in the Great Deku Tree. It was through Courage. You have true courage, and a pure heart. That is why I believe you are the Chosen One. It is your destiny Link, if I am right. You are to save Hyrule from destruction and evil."
He just stood, looking at me. I then realized that it must have been a lot to take in so soon.
"Do you understand what you must do?" I asked.
He nodded," Get Goron's Ruby and Zora's Sapphire, take all three stones to the Temple Of Time. Read the inscription, open the gate, and get the Master Sword. Then I defeat Ganondorf, and all is saved." He sighed and looked at the ground.
I smiled. I was glad he understood. And he looked so cute when he looked bored. "You'd better hurry Link. There is not much time. Go over to Impa, my nursemaid. She will see that you get outside okay." I looked into his bright, cerulean eyes and smiled."Goodbye Link. Chosen One."
"Good bye Princess Zelda..."he said. Then he turned and walked towards Impa.
I sat there watching the two as they talked. I wondered how long Impa had been standing there, but the thought didn't stay in mind long. I heard Impa teaching Link my Lullaby. As they started to walk away, I softly whispered, "Good luck Link. Have courage."
Then I stood again to look through the window. The conversation was coming to a close. I could hear them say something, and I saw Ganondorf barely bow as he backed his way from my father. He had a sly grin on his face, and I could only guess at what was going on in his head.
"Zelda!"
"Coming, Impa!" I yelled back, I ran to meet with Impa.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later that night
I was getting ready for bed, and I decided I should write in my diary. A lot had gone today, and it could be important in the future. I took my hidden diary from under my pillow and opened it to a new page.
"Dear Diary,
A lot happened today. First Ganondorf, the King of Gerudos (and the King of Thieves!) came to my castle today. He talked to my father about making peace. My father has faith that all will be okay, but I know what is really going on inside Ganondorf's head. I will not trust Ganondorf for one second. I will not let my guard down, for I fear Hyrule is in grave danger. I believe Ganondorf is trying to get close to the Royal Family, then destroy us and take full control over Hyrule. I watched the meeting, between my father and this Ganondorf. I noticed at the end, Ganondorf hardly bowed to my father. I told him later, but he simply laughed and told me it was because Ganondorf had an injured back. But I knew better. I had seen the sly smirk on Ganondorf's face. I had full interest in the conversation, but my father wouldn't tell me anything and simply said I was too young to understand the matter.
The only thing that gives me hope is another happening of this morning. A boy came to visit me in the gardens. His name was Link, and he had a fairy named Navi. Come to find out, he had snuck past all the guards to find me. He had blonde hair, and a green tunic and brown boots. He wore a sword and shield on his back, and had many small weapons in his pockets and on his belt. Despite his ragged looks, he had the most beautiful cerulean eyes I have ever seen. They seemed to resemble mine, although I do not think mine are near as blue. Link was a shy boy, and very cute if I might add in my own thought. He was very polite and quiet, and determined to help me and Hyrule. I hope to again see him someday.
This has become a rather long entry. Time to sleep, as I hear father's footsteps down the hall. Good night. And to Link; Good luck, and don't forget me!
Sincerely,
Princess Zelda"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 Days Later
"Zelda, wake up! We must hurry!" Zelda yelled as she crashed open the door and ran to get me dressed. As we got dressed, Impa told me what was wrong.
"Zelda, I believe your prophecies are coming true. Ganondorf is in the Market. Your father has given me orders to take you and flee."
At that time we heard a scream coming from the Market. "Impa, but what about Father? And what about Link?" I was worried about my father. I dearly loved him. I also worried about Link. What if he needed help? What if he needed to talk to me? And most importantly, how was he going to make it into the Temple of Time, and the Sacred Realm, without the Ocarina of Time? I felt the pocket to be sure the Ocarina was still there. Now I could only pray to the Goddesses.
As we rushed out the back door, I could hear heavy footsteps searching the halls for me. It was Ganondorf. Impa lifted me up onto our white horse, and jumped up behind me. She held me tight between her arms so I wouldn't fall. Then she yelled "Hiyah!" at the horse, and kicked. The horse raced from the stables and out into the rain. We ran under the gate on the Castle Road. I could tell Ganondorf had already come through here. The gates were crushed in.
Then we ran raced through the Market. People were on the ground, crying. They saw us on the horse, and their eyes followed us until we passed the guard building. I could hear hoof beats behind us. We ran across the bridge covering the moat. Then I saw him. "Link!" I tried to yell. I took the Ocarina of Time from my pocket, and looked Link in the eyes. Then I looked over to the moat, and back at Link. I took my one shot, and threw it in the moat. Link watched, and nodded back at me to show he understood. I saw him turn his head back to the gate. Link pulled his sword out as Ganondorf stopped in front of him. I saw Ganondorf's hand raise as the lightning flashed. He sent a ball of energy at Link. "Nooo! Link!" I yelled, unable to be heard through the rain.
I cried, unable to see what had happened, and worried about Link. He was the only hope for Hyrule now. I could help, but only to a certain extent, I thought.
As we rode, I slowly drifted off to sleep, unable to think about anything else.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Next Morning
I woke with a big yawn. I had no Idea where we were. I looked around, and calmed down when I saw Impa washing her face in a small pond. I looked a little further and saw our horse eating grass. I tried to remember what had gone on last night. Then it all came back to me. Ganondorf chased us from the castle. Outside the moat, we saw Link. I threw him the Ocarina of Time, and it landed in the moat. The last thing I remember was Ganondorf shooting something at Link.
I was staring at the ground when Impa came up to me. "Are you okay, Pri--... I mean, Zelda?" I nodded, a little dazed still from the night before. "I'm worried Impa. I want to know what happened to Link... If he made it?" I looked up to Impa. She looked around the land, and up at the sky. When she did, I noticed the sky was a bright blue. "Just as if nothing had happened", I mumbled.
"If it is safe, we will go to the Temple of Time. We will see if the precious stones are there, and if the doors are opened.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours later
"Okay Zelda. We must wear these cloaks to hide. We will slowly walk. You are not to look at anyone, or to take off your cloak. Understand? You will hold on to my cloak, right here." I nodded and grasped onto her cloak. We quietly slipped through the groups of people unnoticed. We did, however, hear conversations while walking.
"Did you see the princess and the Skeikah escape from the castle?"
"Yeah. And the man followed them. He was on the black horse. I heard the horse almost kicked one of the men over there."
"I heard the man that followed the princess was Ganondorf." Everyone in the group gasped. Another group was having a some-what similar conversation.
"After the big man rode out of here, did anyone see a little boy in green run through here?"
"Yeah, I noticed him. He looked..."
"Scared?"
"No... Determined I guess. Anyway, he was carrying an Ocarina."
Someone gasped, "The only one around here to have an Ocarina is the Royal Family. I heard the Princess kept it. Could he have stolen it?"
Others just shrugged their shoulders.
"I saw him run into the Temple of Time. Then a dark figure followed him. Not long after, I saw a bright glowing coming from the window."
This was the end of the conversation that we heard. As we walked up the steps, a young girl ran out of the doors to the Temple, "The Doors have been unlocked!" She yelled as she ran into the Market. Impa and I ran up the stairs and opened the doors, to find what she had said to be true. The stones had been set in the alter. The Door had been opened. And the Master Sword was missing from the Pedestal of Time. That meant...
Suddenly, about 20 people came running in the doors. They stared in awe at the missing Sword. Everybody had known the story; Only the Hero of Time could open the Doors of Time and pull the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time. I smiled, knowing Link had made it.
Finally all of the people left. Impa walked into the room, past the Doors of Time, and up to the pedestal. I followed her. Suddenly we heard something. She turned, and I hid behind her cloak.
"Rauru. Nice to see you again", Impa said.
"Impa, I am glad you have come..." He stopped, then started again when he realized I was the only other one listening. "Link is on his way to the future. He is in the Sacred Realm as we speak. But when he pulled the Sword... Well. Ganondorf followed him. He stole the Triforce."
I gasped. Impa nodded her head.
"However, he only stole the Triforce of Power. He did not have an equal balance of power, wisdom, and courage. And so he could only have one piece of the Triforce. That is still too many against us, though." Suddenly there was a chiming sound, and the Triforce symbol on the pedestal began to glow.
Rauru quickly said, "I must go. The Hero Of Time has reached the Future. Goodbye for now." He went to turn, then looked at us again. "I believe you two have some work to do. Right Impa?" He smiled and winked, then disappeared. I looked down at the pedestal. It was barely glowing.
"Come, Zelda. We have a lot of work to do." Impa said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 Years Later
I looked out the window of the lonely Kakariko house. I was tired of learning magical spells, and learning the powers of the Triforce. I was tired of having to turn into an alternate form of Sheik, whenever I had to go somewhere. And I was tired of waiting for the Hero of Time to come from the Temple of Time...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So how did you like it? I think its pretty interesting. Hm, and seems like Zelda has a little crush on a certain hero... only perfect, is it not? Well I will try getting a third chapter up as soon as I can, but right now I'm a little busy, with Sememster exams coming up soon. But I still have about a month till that.
