Legend of Zelda: Abandoned Time
Disclaimer: I honestly have no clue where I'm going with this... Anyway I don't own LOZ, I wish I did but alas I don't. Please enjoy. An AU I randomly thought of.
Chapter 1: meeting a legend.
Unknown point of view:
Humans today don't remember what I've done. They have lost their understanding of what true Heros are and what they do. Before the rest of this take,I will tell you what I know.
Many years ago when the Hylians still lived in abundance and every so often a boy would be reborn and show the world what a true hero was. Now with the Hylians extinct ,humans have forgotten their ways. The goddesses have only been awaken because a few people have begun believing again. All thanks to a company called Nintendo.
The legend of Zelda has became one of the worlds best selling series and millions of people are captured in the fantasy.
I know of this because of the goddesses. I am a chosen hero. One that many people know yet don't know. It is time for this story to be told.
OC point of view:
My name is Rei, Rei Mazaki. I have short dark brown hair, blue almond eyes, and very pale skin, I am of Asian decent, Japanese to be more specific. Right now I am in America looking for a home I just inherited from my Grandfather Yuu . I stopped my car upon finding the area it was supposed to be in. I looked around and felt my eye twitching.
"It's like a very tiny village!" I thought upon seeing several different buildings surrounding one large building. They all had pagoda roofs on ancient Asian style buildings. I looked around for a sign of other human beings. I saw one, a old woman dressed in a light pink Kimono who was standing outside the buildings. I sighed and got out of my car. She looked at me and I felt something off about her, but I shrugged it off. We bowed at each other in greeting.
"Are you the lady Mazaki?" She asked kindly.
"Yes ma'am." I said politely.
She handed me some keys.
"The electricity is running, plumbing is good, and everything is clean. Enjoy living here." The woman said before walking off. Her voice had carried a sign of insanity, but for all I know I could've just imagined it being exhausted from the plane ride. I stretched and looked at keys for a moment.
"Grandpa did not need to leave me these buildings..." I thought as I unlocked the front door to the main house. I then decided to get settled in. I went back to my car and I grabbed the few boxes filled with my little belongings, I didn't have much due to my parents, but maybe I will explain that later. When I stepped inside the house I thought I heard someone curse.
"Probably just my imagination.." I thought as I set the boxes down and closed the door. I felt a cold gust of air go pass me and the whole house seemed to drop rapidly in temperature.
I heard a door slam from deeper inside the house.
"Nope, nope, nope fruk this shit!" I thought as I tried to leave the house. The door was stuck but not locked.
"What is this?!" I cried out in frustration.
"Sorry little Lady~ but you are my next meal." I heard a familiar woman's voice say.
"What?" I asked dead panning. I heard another slam. I made a face and was unamused by what ever was doing this.
"I am so dead!" I thought trying to figure out what was happening.
"Go to the attic!" I heard someone say urgently in my head, it was a males voice, a rather smooth male voice.I know I shouldn't listen to the voices I hear in my head but I trust this voice over the other one, considering it didn't say it was going to eat me. I started running and then I heard the front door start to move.
"Shit!" I thought as I rushed pass it like the devil was on my heels.
"Hurry!" The voice said again. I climbed the two flights of stairs up to the attic as the front door opened.
"Where are you?~" the woman's voice said in a childish voice. I opened the door to the attic and ran inside closing it quietly. I attempted to calm down my breathing.
I looked around and was drawn to a glow near a bunch of boxes covered with dust and cobwebs.
"Where are you, I'm getting tired of searching.~" the woman's voice said, starting to lose it's sweet tone. I began to move the boxes to get to what ever was glowing. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs and I started to be quieter.
I found the glowing object under a silk cloth. It was a rather large and emerald green book that said 'Hyrule Historia' on the sides and cover.
"Open it." I heard the voice that had told me to go to the attic I'm going to follow this voices advice so far I'm still living so I did as told. A large beam of light went into my eyes after I opened the book. It was slightly burning, which is strange since I am completely numb to pain having experienced it all my life.I rubbed my eyes and heard a large crash behind me. I jumped lightly and dropped Hyrule Historia on accident.
"Found you~." I heard the woman's voice say in a sickly sweat. I turned and saw the woman from outside with the pink kimono. She was no longer old but seemed to be in her twentis, her eyes were glowing a blood red, and she had very pointy fangs.
"You're mine!" The woman said diving towards me at a fast pace. I held my arm up to protect myself and fell backwards onto my ass when she got a grip on my forearm. The woman's nails started to create rather deep cuts in my skin. I felt blood ooze out and down my arm. I grabbed Hyrule Historia intent on hitting her on the head with it. Hopefully knocking her out.
"No you don't!" She said before taking it out of my hand then setting it near me.
"Why would you keep it in my reach?!" I asked her.
"Is that really important right now?" The voice asked me.
I thought about that for a moment before I heard a loud and nasty snap. I became worried as I looked my now broken arm. I barely felt the numb feeling of pain but it didn't have an effect on me.
"I don't feel pain..." I grumbled at the woman who seemed confused as to why I wasn't screaming in pain. Something was dripping down my arm but I wasn't paying any attention to it.
When I heard something fall onto paper, I turned my head and saw that my blood had landed on a page of Hyrule Historia. The book glowed extremely bright, causing the woman to drop my arm and scream in pain and fear. I felt something grab me and I left the floor. I gasped as my arm suddenly bust out into pain, I decided to ignore it.
"Why am I able to feel pain again?!" I thought.
"Ahh what now?" I grumbled as I looked at the floor, trying to ignore the pain I was suddenly feeling.
"What the hell! You took my meal!" The woman screamed at who ever had me in their grasp.
"I will give you thirty seconds to leave this house before I annihilate you." The voice from earlier said.
"So this is who the voice belongs to." I thought. The woman started chuckling. I felt something tighten around my waist, it was an arm covered in a gauntlet, then a white long sleeved shirt, and finally chain mail. When the arm around my waist tightened the pain went away completely. I blinked and became a little angry at the woman.
"You're laughing?" I asked the woman raising a brow. I'm guessing the person sent me a look since I felt the arm tighten again. I turned my head to look at my saviour. It was a male, that much didn't surprise me since I had figured it out by the sound of his voice.
He had long blonde hair with bangs that parted in the middle covering his eyes a little bit, he had one aquamarine eye and a red eye, and what stood out the most was the elf ears with silver hoops in both ears. He narrowed his eyes at the woman and put his left hand behind his head. I think he was going to grab at something but I couldn't see what. The woman gave a screech upon seeing what ever it was he grabbed. I felt him shift me in his grip. I looked at his face and his eyes met mine. I looked back at the woman who was screaming frantically, she tried to run but her time was up.
"Close your eyes." The man told me gently. I nodded and I did what he said and felt quick movements and a dying scream. Something warm and wet hit my face. It started rolling down my cheek when I heard a blade being sheathed. I was shifted and I heard the man go down the stairs and I decided to open my eyes.
"Thank you for releasing me from that book." The man said.
"No problem?" I said though it sounded like a question. In all honestly I was confused as to what happened.
"Though since you did it using blood, we've become connected in a strange turn of events." The man told me setting me down next to a futon.
"Connected?" I questioned. He nodded and found a first aid kit, I smiled upon seeing the familiar kanji.
"I guess he's not going to go into details about the connection oh well." I thought still smiling.
"Why do you smile?" He asked.
"The fact that the familiar lettering on the box is from where I was born and raised." I said as I watched him set my arm in a brace and then bandage it up. He smiled lightly at that.
"I see." He said as he put the kit away after finishing with my arm. He rolled his shoulders and sat next to me. I felt something cold press on my arm and saw it was just his really, really, really strange armour. He noticed me looking and said nothing. I looked away for a moment before hearing my phone go off. The attack on titan fighting theme probably giving the man a small heart attack.
"What is that?" He asked pointing at the thin large IPhone 5S I had.
"A phone, it allows communication from great distances." I stated picking up.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Where the hell are you?!" I heard someone yell in Japanese, it was my mother, great, just great.
"Mom, I'm living in the house left to me by Grandpa!"I responded in Japanese. I ran a hand through my hair before catching a glimpse of my reflection. My hair had turned white, probably from shock or the glowing light that had flashed in my eyes when I opened Hyrule Historia.
"No, you come back home now." She said trying to sound like she had authority, she didn't dad did and don't get me started on him.
"Mom, I am seventeen I am old enough to work and live on my own, stop trying to rule my life." I told her calmly.
".. Your father will hear about this." She said before hanging up. I felt my blood chill for a moment. I hope she was bluffing about that. I started to become distressed and gave a sigh.
"He can't do anything to me." I thought calming down. I put my phone away and was startled by a sudden hand on my shoulder.
"Sorry, you sounded really distressed." I heard the man say. I looked at him and he had an apologetic look on his face.
"It's okay..uh...I never got your name." I said, rubbing the back of my head sheepishly.
"I am the hero Shade, also known as Link." He told me, smiling gently at me. I blushed lightly hoping he wouldn't notice, he didn't thankfully.
"The name Link sounded familiar, wait does he mean Link from the legend of Zelda? Well that kinda makes sense." I thought as I ran a hand through my hair again. It was silent after he told me that. Link just stared at the wall for a while. I checked the time.
It was about three in the afternoon.
"I should probably unpack my things..." I thought before getting up.
Link just watched me leave the room. I found my boxes untouched and in perfect condition. I took them into a room with three different TVs from different times. I set the boxes down and then opened them. Inside the boxes were games, gaming consuls, movies, CDs, and manga.
I heard someone behind me and saw Link. He stared at each thing completely confused.
"How long have you been trapped in that book?" I asked.
"Since Hyrule was still considered real by people." Link told me, seeing something in a box.
"Yes, now it's considered fictional and is marketed by a company called Nintendo." I explained.
His eye twitched slightly at that and he put a hand on my head.
"Thank you for explaining." He said smiling. He got up and left the room. I blinked after him but didn't question him.
"He probably needs his space." I thought as I quickly put my things away and hooked up my gaming systems. I felt tired after I finished and sat down on the couch my face facing the ceiling. I must've fallen asleep.
