A Different World

An: …Ok, I finally got this in. I'm so sorry if you liked this story and I didn't update…I was just so happy my birthday is coming. (On the 26th)

Well, enjoy this story while I go crazy over my birthday.

Link took a midnight black colored horse from the royal stables. The stable workers were polite to him, and did everything he asked. As soon as he got all his things packed and ready, he headed out to Hyrule Field. The field was lush with many plants and bugs. Some bugs were even golden. Although there weren't many monsters on the loose like three years ago. Many did not walk nor ride to Hyrule field without proper weapons; like swords, arrows, and shields. There were still the occasional Keeses in caves, Chus, Bulblins, Bubbles, Baba Serpents, Bokoblin, and Deku Babas. Of course, there were also Hylian Hornets, but not many people cared for them since, if you leave them alone, they won't hurt you.

It was nightfall when he reached Kakariko village. The moon was full, and he had just passed through the bridge connecting Hyrule town to Kakariko. The ride was smooth, even though a few monsters attacked. He managed to fight his way through. His horse was breathing hard; they had been running nonstop for a few hours (1). He led the midnight black horse to a big building to his left. The building looked old, but strong. He entered and found himself in a brightly lighted room. He looked around, trying to see if there was anyone in.

A small girl with black hair approached him, greeting him, "Oh hello, Link! Long time no see! How is your friend from Ordon doing? If you need any help, just ask my father! You look tired, would you like to rest here for the night?"

The Hero of Time was quite surprised at how much the girl could say in one breath, even he can't do that! He politely answered, "Yes, I would like to stay. How much would you like me to pay?"

The girl looked at him as if he grew two heads, "Pay? Are you kidding? You helped out a lot here, this is for free. I'll tell father that you are here." She ran off. A couple of minutes later, a tall man, with black hair, and looks very much alike from the girl came walking from the back of the room.

"Hello Link," He greeted, "How are you doing?"

"Fine, thank you." He replied.

"Yes, it's great to see you. You want to stay here tonight right?"

"Yes, I would even pay if you like."

"Oh no, no cash is needed. After all, you did help out at Death Mountain. Without you, the Goron tribe would still be bitter with us, and the mountain would still be inaccessible."

'The Goron tribe? They still are alive? I wonder what else. Maybe Impa?' He though, and mentally laughed at the though of Impa, being about a hundred years old, greeting him.

"Yes, yes, enough of talking, I'm sure you would like to stay and eat?" The man asked.

Link nodded.

"Go upstairs and there would be a room where you can stay. You can have some food too. I'm sorry if there isn't many people here, it's that no one wants to be here nowadays. I don't know why, but even the Gorons are a bit tense…but none of that. I'll see you in the morning, Link."

Link headed upstairs, he entered a small room, there was a small bed. He shrugged, "Oh well, no use asking for a bigger bed." He said to himself. He put his small rucksack down on the bed, he took off his sword and shield. He stretched a bit. His stomach growled. "Oh yeah, I haven't had anything to eat for the whole day. I'm starved." Link headed down the stairs, he saw the tall man again, and asked for some food. The man told him his food will arrive to his room momentarily. He went up to stairs back to his room again.

A few minutes later, the Hero was feasting on some potato soup, and a giant loaf of bread. He finished it all and gave the bowl to the small girl. He then took out his sword and a small towel and started to polish it.

Another hour passed by, Link was yawning while putting his master sword back in its sheath. He went to bed, and turned off the light.

It was a bright and early morning. The Hero was awake and ready. He jumped out of bed (not literally, of course) and packed his things. There wasn't much to pack, just some arrows, his bow, a few bottles containing random healing things, some bombs, and finally his sword and shield. He strapped the sword and his shield on his back tightly so that it wouldn't fall off when he was riding. He brushed the imaginary dust off of his tunic and walked downstairs. He greeted and said good bye to the two for their hospitality. He ran to his horse, and untied him. He waved for one last time and he headed south.

Link was in Hyrule Field, he headed up the wooded bridge. A Bokoblin attacked. The monster lifted his club ready to strike. Link pulled out an arrow, turned it into an ice arrow and shot the monster. The Bokoblin froze on the spot. Link hurried off to the small little entrance to Ordon.

He reached to a small bridge. He looked around and saw a beautiful sight (2), there were mountains, trees, and a cliff…He crossed it with haste, fearing that the bridge ropes would snap and fall to who-knows-where.

As Link crossed the bridge, he saw a small house. There was a man with crazy hair and birds nesting in them.

"Hello, Ordon guy, why are you here, I though you went that was a few minutes ago. How did you change your outfit and hair that fast?" The man asked.

Link ignored the man and speed off on his horse, he speed past a spring. He finally reached a fork in the road. He took out his map that Zelda gave him, checked the mark, and headed left.

When he took the left route, he saw a small cottage. A young man was standing in front on the said house, and was jumping around with a sword. He was blond, like Link, but less…blond. More like brown-blond. He was wearing a green tunic like Link, but his was more complex. With a lot of brown straps, and with a cool shirt underneath.

Link stared at the other young man with interest. He was wonder why the guy would jump around with a sword. He stared a bit more and saw that he was hitting…a pumpkin thing. A scarecrow? Link's horse stared to trot closer to the stranger without Link's permission. The trotting caused the other man to turn around. He look a lot like Link!

They stared at each others eyes for a minute. Their eyes both as wide as saucers. Then the other guy pointed shaking at Link, "W-why do you look like me? Are you a monster that can change forms?"

"I'm Link. I'm from another time." Link started.

"Let me guess, you want me help? Why does this always happen to me?"

"Uh…ok, I don't know, it's like everything is timed…" Link replied.

"Yup. It's a strange, strange little world we live in." The other guy said, shaking his head.

Link got off his horse, then he noticed the other horse. It was a chestnut color. He recognized it immediately. It was Epona, his horse! He put his horse next to Epona, and then walked over to the other Link. "Let me guess, your name is Link too."

"Yup. Your Link too?"

"Yup. How are we going to tell each other apart?" The Hero of Time asked.

"…I have no clue." The other Link said.

TBC…

Me: Ok…I need help on the Links' names. Or else I'll make them up. You get a chance to decide now.

Ocarina Link: Wow, what am I going to be called? Why are you so mean?

Me: I'm not mean! Just not very nice! sulks in corner

Twilight Link: Ok, please review. While…we leave the author alone and sulk.

(1): Wow, just a few hours. Ok, you really expect that Hyrule would take a few minutes to get around? Well, obviously it should take a while to get some where.

(2): I'm not kidding, I love Zelda games because of the beautiful backgrounds…yeah, I'm weird.
