A Different World

An: Read the author's note at the bottom if you are confused about my story, since my friend who read it (I'm not naming anyone) said she was a bit confused.

As dawn approached, the green-clad hero was just entering Castle Town. As he went to the Castle Town Square, he said to himself, "Wow, a lot changed…I wonder what had happened?"

He walked south of the Square; eyes were all staring at him. Why did they stare? Was something wrong about him?

He went right to an ally, he saw a sign, and it read, 'Telma's Bar. Open.'

His hand slowly went for the door and twisted the peach colored knob. He entered the said building, and saw a small place with dim-lights, a few tables, some shelves with many different colored bottles each with their own unique labels.

"Meow." A small furry little cat with a pick ribbon around its neck cried.

"Link, great to see you!" A woman behind the bar greeted, she looked about 30-40 years old. She wore a jacket, dress, and she also had her red hair tied up in a pony tail. (1) "What brings the Hero here?"

"Uh, hi. Do you know where I can find Zelda?" Link politely asked.

"Why Link, you should know. I thought you were the one who defeated the monsters in that castle!" The woman cried in disbelief.

"Um…I forgot!" He quickly made up, he didn't want any suspicion. How could he have known where the castle is? It's not like he has ever been here!

"Ok, go back to where you came from, once you see the fountain, you'll know that's the Castle Town Square. Once you're there, go straight up, the guards should let you in since you were the guy who cleared the castle."

"Ok, thanks Miss!" he cried and ran for the door.

"Hmm, 'Miss'? Something's wrong with that boy, right, Louise?" She said to her cat.

The now 'Louise' meowed back to her owner as if she agreed.

"Ok, go straight…ok, this should be it." Link said as he approached the giant wooden doors.

"Hello Link, here to see Princess Zelda?" A guard asked.

Link nodded.

"Well, don't just stand there, come on in!" He shouted as he pushed the large wooden doors so the boy could get in.

"Thanks!" He shouted as he ran straight for the large castle.

"No problem buddy!" The guard shouted back.

Link ran towards the giant door like walls. (An: I thought they were doors, but they aren't.) Before he could open them, a woman opened the door. She didn't seem to notice Link, so she bumped into him. She quickly apologized. She lifted her head up and Link could see she was about 20, and she had long blonde hair, blue cerulean eyes, and was wearing a pink, yellow, and white dress. Before long, he realized that this was Princess Zelda!

"Uh, Zelda." he started.

"Oh, hello Link, what brings you here, should you be back in Ordon with your friends?" Zelda asked.

"I don't know but I need to tell you something."

"What is it Link?"

"Well, it started off you played the Ocarina of Time, then I got here, and then everyone I don't know knows me. This place changed dramatically, and you look different! Where's 'Ordon' anyways?" He explained all in one breath. Impressive enough.

"Ok, ok, calm down Link. I didn't play any ocarina. Are you sure you weren't dreaming? This place hasn't changed since you came here three years ago!"

"What are you talking about? You played the Ocarina of Time. I can't prove it since I don't have the ocarina."

"Did you say, 'Ocarina of Time'?" Zelda asked.

"Yes, you gave it to me when we met so I could stop Ganon! Don't you remember?"

"Link, I don't know how to say this but…I think you came from a different time. World maybe."

"H-how can that be?"

"Let's go to my room, I'll tell you privately." She ushered him to follow, they went up some stairs (2), the entered a room. The room looked quite simple…for a castle. It had a bed, fireplace, wardrobe, table, and a giant window.

"Have you ever heard of the ancient 'Zelda' story? About the legendary 'Hero'?" Zelda asked.

Link just stared at her.

"I'm talking about the Hero of Time, and the Ocarina of Time."

"Wait…you mean the Hero of Time is just a legend? But how can that be? I'm the Hero of Time!"

"As I was saying before, the Ocarina of Time is a very special ocarina. You know that correct?"

The hero nodded.

"Well, I suspect that the Zelda from your time played the song wrong, but that might not be it at all. We don't really know, maybe the Ocarina was broken. The royal family currently doesn't have the Ocarina, the legend says that once the Ocarina was played and the Hero was sent back, it broke into many pieces and were scattered across the land. It does say the Hero was gone, but it didn't say anything about him being a child. So the Hero must be you." The princess explained.

Link just sat there, his eyes were as wide as saucers.

"We have a hero here too, his name is also Link. He saved this place from the Twilight, Zant, and Ganon."

"What's Twilight?" Link asked as he tried to rub his eyes since they hurt from getting that wide.

"All will be known in due time, but I suspect you would like to go back to your time?" Zelda asked.

He nodded.

"Go find the Hero of Twilight first. He lives in Ordon. You may borrow one of the horses from our stables if you like. I will provide you with a map, go to the marked spot and you should be able to find him." Zelda said as she marked down the place with her pen.

"Thank you." He said as he took the map from Zelda.

"You are welcome, Hero of Time."

He left the castle and headed towards Hyrule field. A new journey is about to start!

(1) Telma's description is a bit weird, I know. I can't really remember what she looked like. Sorry!

(2) Stairs were something I added since, if you played Twilight Princess, you should know that you had to use your double clawshot to get up, but I doubt the Princess of Hyrule went around her castle using a clawshot. She probably knows where the stairs are.

If you are all confused about my story, it is that the OC I made up does not have anything to do with the plot line. She's just there because…I wanted the feeling that she did something. The OC is not being paired with anyone. There is no specified pairing in the story yet.

You might know where this is going…
