Chapter 2, a hero awakens.

The next day, almost all the people were gathered around Link's shrine, they had brought him outside, for today was the anniversary for the 7 years he had been sealed inside the crystal.

The village leader said a small speech,

"Villagers, we are celebrating the anniversary of the day the hero in time was sealed, you all remember that day, seven years ago, when the hero entered the temple of time and pulled out the master sword, sealing him in the crystal until he could awaken and fill his destiny.

And look, the master sword is with the hero now." The village leader said, pointing to Link's back, where the master sword was sheathed.

"After he was sealed, princess Zelda instructed us to bring him here and watch over him, may she also watch over him, where ever she it." the village leader said.

Suddenly one of the people shouted.

"Look! He's awake!" everyone turned to Link, and many people gasped. The master sword was glowing, it unsheathed it's self and flew into the middle of the crowd, the crowd parted as the sword stuck itself in the ground, directly in front of Link.

All eyes turned back to Link, and many people gasped as his eyes slowly opened.

Link blinked a few times and looked around, he was inside a crystal cage, and lots of people were staring at him.

Someone started clapping, and soon everyone joined in. Link looked puzzled for a moment, and then started looking around.

How was he suppost to get out of the crystal?

He lifted his hand up, and was shocked to see a bigger, older looking hand. Slowly he glanced at his arms, and was shocked, instead of the lean, not so muscular arms he had had when he was ten, he had huge, muscular arms.

Link glanced down and was once again shocked, his legs were long and muscular, and his feet and boots were bigger.

He glanced back at his arms, still confused.

The people, meanwhile, were still cheering; the girls were all cheering the loudest.

"The long awaited hero has finally awaken!" the village leader said, throwing his arms into the air.

This made the people clap even harder, although Link had no idea why they were clapping.

While all the people were clapping, Link was trying to get out of the crystal.

He ran his hands over the side of the crystal, examining it, finally he reached back for his sword, of course, the master sword wasn't there. Link glanced around for a moment before spotting it in the grass in front of him. He sighed and stared at it for a minute, thinking, before pulling his shield off his back. Everyone watched to see what he would do.

Link tried whamming the crystal with his shield, but it didn't work. He tried pulling out an assortment of weapons, but none of them worked. Finally he leaned against the wall to think.

He still hadn't spoken anything since he had woken up.

None of the villagers dared move, no one wanted to miss anything that the hero did.

Inside the crystal, Link was still thinking, he slowly glanced around the crystal; finally he glanced at the floor, where a small triforce shaped mark was in the middle of the floor.

Link glanced at the back of his left hand, where the mark of the triforce shone gold.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Link's head, carefully, he bent down and pressed the back of his left hand to the mark of the triforce on the bottom of the crystal.

All around Link the crystal suddenly began to glow, the villagers stepped back as the crystal glowed brighter and slowly melted to the ground.

For a minute no one said anything, then Link stepped forward, he stepped down from the platform and slowly began to walk forward. However, being in a crystal for several years can really affect your ability to walk, Link stumbled forward, wobbling a little bit as approached his sword.

Several people rushed over to try and help him, but the village leader stopped them.

"No! He must do this on his own!"

The villagers watched breathlessly as Link's left hand carefully grasped the handle of the master sword and pulled it out.

Link held the sword up to his height and examined it before glancing around. The villagers all stared at him, wondering what would be the first thing he said.

"Where am I?" he asked, glancing around, the village leader stepped forward.

"You are in Kakariko village, hero of time. We have anxiously been awaiting your awakening," the village leader said, he held his breath as Link turned to him.

"How many years has it been? How many years since I pulled out the master sword?" Link asked,

"S-seven years." the village leader stuttered. (All the people are wondering what Link will do next.)

Link nodded, he gazed upwards.

"Seven years…" he repeated, still gazing upward. He sighed and glanced back down at his sword, grinning, he sheathed it and looked around.

"I don't suppose any of you know where princess Zelda is?" he said, for a minute no one spoke, finally an old woman stepped out.

"No one has seen or heard of the princess since you were sealed away." she said, clasping her hands together,

"I see." Link said, Zelda, where are you? He thought; he took a few steps forward, then stopped. He glanced down at his boots.

Behind him, the villagers watched as he pulled one of his boots off and shook it upside down.

Several rocks fell out, along with some dust and dirt. Link stared at the rocks and dust for a minute before glancing inside his boot.

"How did all that get in there?" he muttered, he put his boot back on and took the other one off, shaking it upside down, causing rocks and dust to fall out. He shook his boot one last time before putting it back on.

"Much better," he muttered to himself, he was about to start running when a yellow light surrounded him, when it was gone; he was standing inside the temple of sages. Rauru was standing in front of him.

"Hello, hero of time, as you have discovered, you were asleep for seven years until you were old enough to be the hero of time." He said, he handed Link a mirror, Link glanced at it and was surprised to see his seventeen-year-old self stare back at him.

"So Link, are you ready to follow you destiny?" Rauru said; Link nodded.

"Very well." Rauru said, a bright light surrounded Link, when it disappeared, Link was gone.

"Good luck, Link." Rauru whispered.

Well? What did you think? Good? Bad?
