Author Note
Revisions
Many of you can probably relate, but as I reread and edited each of these chapters I felt both pride and shame as I realized how much I have already improved since writing this story. At any rate, I made several changes. They are as follows:
1. The most noticeable has to be the title, A Mistaken Identity. I feel that this title is more simple and easily captures one of the themes behind my story.
2. I fixed any grammatical errors I previously overlooked.
3. I redid the introduction so that it flowed more smoothly.
4. I deleted some details that were not necessary in the 2nd chapter.
5. I revised the argument between Link and Zelda in chapter 6.
6. I would like to give kudos to anyone who recognizes the reference to defeating Agahnim with an object other than a sword. If you don't know what I'm referring to, play A Link to the Past and try to repel Agahnim's energy with one of the items in your inventory. Also, play Ocarina of Time and deflect Ganon's energy with the bottle.
Thanks

Inspiration
If you're interested, I composed this story between my final year of university and my first year in a full-time job. I feel that the loss of my identity as a student was a new stage of life for me, and perhaps it showed in my writing A Mistaken Identity or perhaps you understand if you have already completed your education. Nonetheless, I did my best to keep the personality of the characters consistent to Ocarina of Time, but I also sought to have realistic relationships. I personally feel that a relationship is strengthened through hardships, and I hope that I effectively portrayed Link and Zelda's strong relationship by the conclusion of the story. At any rate, I am now pronouncing this story finished. It is not perfect, but I am proud of my work. Thanks again for taking the time to read it!
