Enter, my favorite girl character in all the Legend of Zelda, the farmgirl that Link SHOULD'VE gone to, Malon.
Chapter 5: Malon
Link ducked behind a house as he searched for the source of the singing.
The city was huge. There was a clearly defined path to the castle in the center of town. The closer to the castle he got, the more upscale the houses became. He easily began to tell where he was. On the west side of town was a rather large temple. He also used that as a navigating point.
He continued searching for the singing. He soon discovered a small square inthe direct center of town. And the singing was coming from a young, pretty girl about his age in it. She had long red hair, a white sort of dress, a red bandana around her neck, tied together by a medallion shaped like a dragon/dinosaur's head. (A/N: For those of you who haven't noticed, Malon does have a Bowser medallion in the game tying her bandana together)
She was singing a song that sounded strangely beautiful and melodic.
Even Navi, still scared out of her mind, came out of her resting place in his hat.
Her light alerted the girl to his presence.
She stopped and looked at him, looking somewhat afraid.
"Who- who are you?" she asked warily.
Link smiled and walked forward.
"Don't worry. I'm a friend." he said.
She saw Navi.
"Oh! You're a fairy boy from the forest! What's your name?"
"Link."
"I'm Malon. My dad Talon and I run the ranch in Hyrule Field. You ever been by it?"
"Not really."
"You should come by sometime. So why are you out at this time of night?"
"Just looking around. You?"
"I'm waiting on my dad. He went up to the castle a few hours ago and he hasn't come back."
She groaned.
"He probably fell asleep again."
They started walking up to the castle.
Without warning, a man dressed in all black jumped out.
"Gimme all yer rupees!" he shouted, stabbing a knife at them.
Malon gasped, but Link scoffed.
In less than ten seconds, he had shot a seed at his hand, knocking the knife out, then had chased him all the way up the street, but not before stealing his rupee bag, which he promptly gave to Malon.
"You... Wow. You're really brave." she said.
Link blushed and scratched the back of his head.
They walked up to the road to the castle.
They went up to one of the two guards who were at the gate.
"Umm, scuse me sir, but my dad went up to the castle. Can I go see if I can find him?" Malon asked timidly.
"Nope. Sorry, but no one is allowed to go up to the castle at night. Royal Family's orders."
Link had seen some hanging ivy earlier, so he went to it and showed it to Malon.
"I can go find your dad. I'll sneak right by those guards and they'll never know it."
"Thanks." she said.
She started to walk off.
"Oh, wait. Here. It'll hatch come morning, so have it squawk to wake my dad up. I've been nurturing it for a few months."
She gave him a small egg.
"Thanks Malon."
She smiled, nodded, and walked off.
He climbed up the wall and started sneaking by. Night was the perfect time to do it in. He hid behind a few bushes, ducked under trees, even tiptoed behind a guard as he walked toward the castle to avoid being seen.
He soon made it up to the giant castle. Inside, he saw a man sleeping by a cart with crates. He was rather large with a bushy moustache, a large nose, and overalls. Link looked at a clock on the wall and saw that it read 10:00. He figured he may as well get some sleep.
R&R again people.
