Chapter 1: Welcome to Hyrule Castle
Within a cottage on the outskirts of a forest a boy is sleeping in a bed, dreaming about something, probably Princess Zelda because this boy is Link. A voice interrupts Link's dream, this voice is of his father.
"Link Get up, don't you want to see the sunrise?"
Link Yawns and says. "Okay Dad! I'll be down in a second!"
Considerably more than a second later link appears beside his father and they watch the sun rise together.
"Isn't that beautiful son?" Link' father asks.
"Yeah, dad." link answers.
As they walk inside to eat breakfast Link's father asks.
"Do you know what day it is Link?"
"Ummm... To-day?" Link says.
Link's father ruffles Link's hair and chuckles then he says: "No son. Today is the day of the 'Festival of the Four Sword'."
"..." Link looks at his father blankly.
"Oh don't give me that face son. Just because your great-grandfather made that sword and that you had to face Gufuu," Not to mention a whole crapload of assorted baddies. "with your three counterparts. Doesn't mean that other people can't celebrate the gift that the Picori created and your great-grandfather helped re-forge."
His father explains.
"I know all this dad you always remind me, like every day." Link explains.
"Yep. But we should still go celebrate." (Link's father)
"..." (Link)
"I overheard some of the other Knights of Hyrule saying that Princess Zelda will be there and that..." Link's father says trying to convince Link to go to the festival
"OKAY! We are going right now!" Link interrupts his father.
"Wait you never let me finish. Continuing. And that she wants to go a boy that wears a green tunic and has proven his courage. Any idea who that might be Link?" His father finishes.
"Ummm... George?" Link guesses
"NO! NOT GEORGE. IT'S LINK!" his father yells
"Oh Link. I hate that guy." Link says.
About a minute passes while Link's father reins in his anger and Link tries to figure out whom this 'Link' person is then suddenly figuring it out he exclaims happily.
"PRINCESS ZELDA WANTS TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL WITH ME!"
"Correct" About time. His father says
Just then someone knocks on the door and says in a very royal voice.
"The Princess of Hyrule requests Master Link to accompany her highness to the festival."
Link rushes to the door and swings it open with such force that he almost pulls it off its hinges.
"Whoa there son you don't need to break the house." links father states.
As Link steps outside a man in a black coat someone obviously a royal adviser or something like that steps in front of him and asks.
"And just who are you? Princess Zelda did not ask for some ragamuffin stable boy."
"Hey I'm Link!" Link yells at the adviser person.
"Do not kid yourself boy it only makes you appear even idiotic than you already are."
"But I AM Link!" Link says angrily.
"Stop lying it is not a good habit to get into. Now go get your brother Link for me, boy."
"But..." Says Link giving up
Just then a girl wearing a pink dress walks up behind the advisor and smiles at Link.
"Zelda..." link starts but gets slapped across the face by the advisor.
"How dare to speak to the princess that way, boy!" having looked around to see the Princess.
"Gaston that Boy you just slapped across the face IS Link!"
"Oh Princess I am very sorry" Gaston says bowing shamefully.
"Link are you okay?" Zelda asks turning to Link who isn't there.
"Where did he go?"
"Your highness..." Gaston starts
"YOU shut up. You probably made him cry, you pompous idiot."
And with that she slaps Gaston across the face and walks into Link's House.
"Where is Link?" Zelda asks Link's Father.
"Upstairs." he replies
As Zelda walks upstairs she starts to hear sobs coming from one of the rooms at the far end of the house. As she walks to the end of the hall she spots Link or rather his cap hanging off of the bedpost in on the rooms. It is also the room where the sobs are coming from.
"Link?" Zelda asks.
*sob* "What?" *sniffle* Link gets out in between is crying
"Will you come to the festival with me Link?" Zelda says walking into links room sitting down beside him and giving him a hug.
*Sniff* link wipes his nose and says. "Sure Princess Zelda."
"Very well my courageous knight you may accompany me to the festival." Zelda says in a royal tone.
Link and Zelda laugh and make their way to the fair holding hands.
At the Festival Link and Zelda are at a booth that has a game where you try to get rings in a bottle and it appears that the princess has just won
"CONGRATULATIONS! Princess you have just won the grand prize your choices are:
A piece of Heart;
A Mirror Shield;
A Joy Pendant;
Or:
A Thousand Rupees.
Which one will you pick Princess?" The merchant asks
"Ummm I'll pick... This." Princess Zelda picks up the Shield and hands it to Link.
"Here you go Royal Knight Link. Teehee. Now you can protect me from the peasants. And I can fix my makeup if need be."
"Thanks Princess." Link says beaming.
"Are you sure Princess? Wouldn't you rather have the jewelry or the Rupees?" the merchant asks.
"No thanks. My Knight needs a shield anyways." Zelda replies.
And with that Link and the Princess walk off to try something else or so Link thought. Zelda pulls Link behind a stone pillar and says.
"Link come with me, I have something I want you to see."
"What?" Link asks.
"It's a surprise!"
"Awwww." Link says.
And with that Zelda leads Link towards Hyrule Castle.
"Where are we going?" Link asks Zelda.
"To the Sanctuary of the Four Sword."
"Why?" link asks.
"You'll see." Zelda says mystically.
