((A/N: Okay, let's clear a few things up about my story. It takes place after Majora's Mask, so Link recalls everything that has happened from OOT and MM. Also, he is an adult, like in OOT. Except this is the real timeline. He didn't use the Master Sword, and later it's explained that the sword is still in the pedestal. Also, Link has everything from OOT and MM. So he has all his equipment, his different shields... the only sword he USES is the Gilded Sword but he has the others ones... minus the Master Sword. Um... let's see... Oh yes, the king. His name is the same as the King in TWW, only because I assume that the king (who is never showed in OOT) is the same. Oh well. Deal with it. Uhh... I think that's it... it's a short chapter... shorter than I expected... R&R))

The following morning, Link decided to go ahead and talk to Zelda about his dream. Without a doubt, Zelda had the same dream. The last time that he had a dream like this with Ganondorf, he ended up having to save the entire land of Hyrule from Ganondorf. And she had the same dream.

Before Link left, he grabbed some items that he thought that he'd need. Longshot, Bow, and Boomerang, seemed sufficient. Oh, and his Fairy Ocarina.

He exited his house, and looked around. It was weird, because he was usually greeted by Saria whenever he came out. Maybe it was because he's an adult, now? Even though he's grown up, he still sticks around his old Kokiri home. And whenever he does, Saria comes to him. He shrugged it off and walked out of the woods.

When he was finally out of the Forest, he looked to the sky. It looked like it was going to rain. 'Better hurry to the castle!' Link thought, running out to Hyrule Field. He took the path to the northern part of Hyrule Field to get to Hyrule Castle Town. Halfway, though, he came to a stop. Out of breath, he sat down to take a break.

He started thinking of his dream again. It was completely dark... and Ganondorf... Ganondorf looked the most wicked he's ever seen. What if Ganondorf came out of the seal? And the mask... how did he get a hold of the mask? Link kept pondering about the events of his dream... and then it began to rain, like he thought. Good thing it was only rain. Get got up from his spot and began running again. He'll want to get there before sunset, since the gates close then.

Finally, Link made it to the castle. It was still raining and it looked like it wouldn't let up for awhile. He made his way into the Market. He came to the conclusion that everyone was in their homes, since no one was out. He looked up to the castle, looming over him. He kept on walking.

He came to the castle gates and a guard stood there. The guard immediately recognized Link and greeted him.

"Hello!" the guard said. Link smiled. He walked to the guard, who opened the gates. "Are you going to go see the Princess?" He nodded. He was still too out of breath to say anything. The guard smiled and Link walked through. He made his way to the castle, now.

At the castle doors, he was greeted by the king, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule. Link took off his wet cap, and shook his dirty blonde hair. "Hello, Link!" the king greeted.

"Hello, your highness," Link said, bowing.

"It's always a delight to see you... now, no time for formalities! I should be bowing to you!" the king said, laughing. Link smiled. Ever since Link defeated Ganondorf, he was hailed by all. He was the Hero of Time, after all.

"It's alright..." Link said, softly. He had rung his cap out, water falling to the floor.

"Do you need a room to dry off?" the king asked. Now, the king and Link were walking while talking.

"Now, that's alright," Link said, "I actually need to speak with Zelda."

The king's expression died. They stopped, and he started off by saying, "She... ah... hasn't been well, lately. She's locked herself up in her room... won't say anything to anyone. Won't eat. Unless she's alone, but, ah... Something is going on. I've never seen her like this. Lately, the only one she's talked with is Dulceus. And that's only around midnight she comes out. Other days, she's snuck out of the castle and done who knows what. I can't get her to tell me what's wrong." He looked at Link for awhile, who held a worried look. The king laughed and smiled again, "But, of course! You'll be able to get through to her. You always have. Well then, I believe you better make your way..."

Link nodded, walking slowly to Zelda's room. He looked back the king's forced smile, and then kept on going.

He knocked twice on Zelda's door. The door was unlocked, so he entered. He saw Zelda, staring out into the rainy Hyrule. She was sitting on a small chair that had a little table with another chair. On the table, he saw the food that was brought in for her. "Zelda?"
"You had the dream, too?" she asked, immediately He blinked for a couple of seconds. He came over and sat down on the other chair. He looked at her sad eyes, as if they were causing the rain. The gloomy weather matched her emotion.

"Yeah..." he said, after a few seconds. She closed her eye as a tear escaped. She looked to Link and saw his worried expression. She wiped the tear away and got up, walking to her vanity. She sat down and stared into her mirror. "What's going on, Zelda?" Link asked, wanted an explanation.

"Link... I..." she began, only to begin tearing up. She wiped the tears away and Link came over to her and pulled her into an embrace. She began to cry in his chest. He patted her back and tried to make her feel better.

"Link... I... I've been having those dreams for almost a week now. Every night... Ganondorf coming to my dreams... and the land of Hyrule is up in flames. My father is dead. You... you're not there. Then, as darkness swallows up Hyrule... Ganondorf puts up a mask. And then finally... each piece of the Triforce appears around him... giving him infinite power..." she said, through her sniffles. She continued, "Each night, it's different... but the same... Like an addition to the first one. Like the first dream was just Ganondorf and the mask... and then the next night he had the Triforce..."

"You lost your piece, then, too?" Link asked, showing his hand. She nodded, about to burst into tears ago. Link put his arms around her again, "It'll be alright..."

"Link... I think... Ganondorf was released. I don't know who would have done it, or who could have done it. But," she said, sniffling, "I went to the Temple of Time... and before it was closed up, right? Well, the door of Time was broken down. The three gems are protected, right now, and the Master Sword is still in the pedestal, but... someone broke down the door."
"What about the Ocarina?"

"It's in good care, right now," Zelda said, finally over her tears. Her eyes were all red.

Link looked at her, and then asked, "Are you alright, now?" She nodded, still sniffling. He stood up, and said, "I'll go ahead and try to see what's going on... If Ganondorf has broken the seal, then I might just have to kill him this time."

Zelda stood up with him, "But Link... tomorrow..."

"We'll... have to postpone it, Zelda..." he said, holding her hand which wore a small ring with a diamond on it.

Zelda nodded as Link gave her a final hug and a kiss. He walked out of the room and Zelda watched him leave. Her expression never changed.
