(First, I would like to explain a few things. First of all the idea of the matrix is, that nothing was what it seams. That is the back theme for this story. Nothing is as it seams. I also added some fighting scenes in this one so I hope you like it. My favorite part is with link and Zell. You will know what I am talking about when you read it. Oh and by the way no more chapters until I get a decent amount of review, sorry but I have to get my inspiration some how.)

When Link and Quistes were finally at the Garden entrance every one greeted them with smiles and giggles. Apparently, Selphie had spread a rumor about Link and Quistes.

"Glad you two could finally make it". Squall said as he looked at the Gunblade Quistes was holding. "Quisty, where did you get that?"

Quistes handed Squall the sword " Link found it when we were attacked by a T-rexsour. Link's pretty good with it." Quistes said.

Squall looked at the Gunblade for a moment then looked at link. "Here you found it it's yours, however I do wish to par with you some day, just to see just how good with it you really are." Squall handed the Gunblade back to link." Also I do wish to study the inscriptions more closely when we come back from the mission",

Squall then turned to the rest of the group "We will be leaving in a transport ship, the new continent is not to far from here. However one transport ship can only carry Four people at a time, so we are going to split up into two groups, we will meet at the same point, once we arrive we will decide on further action." Squall said as he watched Zell raise a hand.

"Squall, look I know its fun finding new lands and all, but why go in the first place?"

"Because, this is not only a rescue mission, but a mission to see if there is a new town, city or even a very primitive group of people." Squall then turned and waved every one to follow him. They all got into a big car and they left the garden.

Link watched out the window as every one begun to talk. Link saw many creatures he never could have dreamed of. He than saw another t-rexsour and remembered the fight back at Balemb. Why on earth would any one wont one of those things wondering around in a building. That thing could have killed Quistes and himself. Link begun to wonder what kind of a school would have a training room like that. Suddenly some one taping him on his shoulder interrupted link's thoughts.

"Link were here. Come on." it was Saria. She was wearing the same outfit he saw her in yesterday. Link got out of the car and was greeted by the strong smell of the ocean. The breeze was warm and the air was cool. Link looked around and saw he was in a small town. This place was beautiful and antique at the same time. Link then saw everyone was heading off so link followed them. Soon they arrived at the docks.

Squall stopped and turned to everyone. He smiled and crossed his arms as if he was trying to make a tough decision

"Ok, First boat, Irvine, Selphie, Rinoa, And I..." suddenly Squall was interrupted by a dog barking. Every one looked up and saw a big fluffy dog come running to them.

Rinoa let out a sigh and kneeled down to the dog. "Angelo, how could I have forgotten you, Good boy." she then looked up at Squall "Is there going to be enough room for him on the ship?" Squall smiled and reached down to scratch Angelo behind his ears.

"Of course, now the second boat will be Link Saria, Zell and Quistes. " he then turned and followed Rinoa into the First transport carrier. Link followed Quistes into the second.

When he got in, he was amazed at how cramped it was on the inside. There was only room for four people. He sat next to Quistes and was a little unhappy when Zell sat on the other side of him. Link looked at Quistes and followed her motions for putting a seat belt on.

He then sat back and waited to feel the boat move. Soon he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Link was standing on an open field watching the morning sun climb higher into the sky. He was standing next to his horse Epona and was pulling the buckle burs from her main and tail.

"Epona, I don't know how you get these things? We don't even run through fields where these things grow, it's as if they are magically drawn to you. Ouch!" Link threw the last of the buckle burs and raised his finger up to his mouth to pull a stray needle out.

He then mounted Epona and guided her through the Field's of Hyrule. He had nothing to do and it was still back when everything was normal and carefree.

Suddenly everything became dark. The grass begun to die and the trees turned into white ghosts. Link looked down at Epona and saw she no longer was a horse. She was only a skeleton running across a dead field. Link looked up and saw she was running to a dark tower. Link tried to jump off but something around his waist was holding him back.

Then to his horror a skeleton appeared before him and started to shake him. Link was screaming in fear and anger. He tried to push the Skeleton off but wasn't faring very well link then raised his fist and hit it right in the face.

"Ouch, Damn, I think he broke my nose!" Link immediately woke up and saw Zell was standing in front of him. Link felt a little embarrassed when he saw him. He was holding a bloody nose. Quistes handed him a piece of cloth as she turned to link.

"What in the hell were you dreaming about link?" Quistes asked as she put her hand on his forehead.

"I'm not sure really, its was like all the other's but yet it was different this time." he said as he undid his seatbelt.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Zell asked as he sat back down next to link.

"Zell pinch it here and hold your head back, that should make it stop bleeding." Quistes then sat down on the other side of link.

"I don't know I have been having these weird dreams, probably from my past..." Suddenly the door to the transport opened up and bright sunlight filled the place up.

When Link walked out of the Carrier a beautiful sight greeted him. He was looking at a vast field of grass that led on to a mountain horizon. When they were all out of the transports Squall looked around and smiled.

"Ok we will travel as one big group. However, we need to have a buddy system, you can choose your own buddy's." Squall then helped every one put on their traveling packs and they started of to the mountains.

Link looked around for a while. Slowly something in him told him this place was familiar. He looked up at the mountains and saw smoke was coming out from one of them. Link then saw something flash in the distance. He watched the tiny dot of light as it seamed to get bigger.

"Hay Squall, something is headed right for us" Link Said as he raised his Gunblade. Every one looked at the strange light and they too held up there own weapons. Link was amazed at the whip Quistes used; it was beautiful but deadly looking, much like her.

Soon the light turned into a vehicle that was just flying soundlessly over the ground. When it was within a few feet of the group it stopped and a door in the side opened. There standing in the doorway was a tall woman in skintight clothing. She had white hair, red eyes, her skin was pale, and she had a red tattoo over one of her eyes.

"My name is Impa, I am the Hyruleian war chief, Please state your visit and your intentions. If they please me then you may live, if not well we will see from there." She then walked off the Vehicle and stood in front of Squall. "You seam to be the leader, speak!"

Squall turned to every one and motioned them to put away their weapons. "We are Ambassadors from Balemb Garden, we are looking for some people that have already been here and we wish to speak with your ruler, we only wish to be peaceful."

Impa looked at squall in the eyes and stared at him for a moment. Link felt like she was searching Squall's soul seeing if what he said was true or not.

"You speak the truth, follow me, the king will be very pleased to meet you, however the people you speak of was put into jail for killing a Goron. There execution has been scheduled for next month." she then led every one into the Vehicle. When they were all in link felt the vehicle give a little tug and he felt as if he was being thrown threw space.

"Is there any way we can get them out of jail, because if they attacked this Goron like you say they did. Then it was probably because it looked like a deadly monster from where we are from." Squall said as he sat down.

"No, I don't think so. However, you can try. You see the Goron was hunting for food when they attacked it. We have an eyewitness that says they talked to it for a while then killed it for no apparent reason." she than pushed some buttons and pulled back on a long skinny stick.

"I think I am going to be sick," Zell said as he covered his mouth.

"Yes, for ones who are not used to traveling at this speed I would expect you to feel a little nauseous" Impa then turned and handed Zell a bag.

Impa then turned back to the window and smiled. " Look out side and behold, the kingdom of Hyrule".

When link looked out side, he was amazed at the beauty of the place. There was more flying vehicles and everyone was wearing the same clothes link wore. (Think star wars Jedi) He saw there was more White hared people as well. He also saw people with green hair, blond hair, and red hair. Some had long ears some did not. Then link saw some one who he could only guess was made from rock. He then saw another new being that looked like it was half fish and half man.

"The castle of Hyrule is the center of all trade. Every race from Hyrule can be found here. As a mater of fact it is here the famous Goron, scientists discovered how to make these flying ships. Since then, we have very little use for horses. Back in the early years of Hyrule, all we had was horses." She then pointed out the window " That there is called the spirit temple. Some say there is a hidden room in the back that contains a very powerful object. However, to get in you would have to carry three gems. The tale goes on to tell about the one Hylian that actually found the three stones and entered the room. He used the object to save Hyrule from a terrible monster. Then they say after that, he put the object back, took the stones, and left Hyrule. No has seen of nor heard of him since. However, that was seven thousand years ago. Some are beginning to dought the Hero even existed, or even if they're really is a sacred realm."

She then smiled and looked at link. "So, what is your name? You don't look as if you fit in with the others," she then saw Saria and let the smile fade "you...your...your the forest sage!" she then turned back to the control's and pushed a button "Zelda, we found her, she's back in Hyrule, I repeat, Saria is back!"

Then a crackle was heard from the other side "Is he with her?"

Impa looked back at link " I think, but he seams a little different, do you wish to see them?"

After a slight pause, the answer came "Yes, bring them to me immediately, if he is the right one then he will bare the mark of the Triforce". Impa then let go of the button and turned to link.

"Welcome back to Hyrule Link, Hero of time."

Link watched out the window hoping he was not the one they were looking for. Something in him told him he should not be here. Link looked over at Saria and wondered what she was thinking. Did she know she was a forest sage? Was she just as clueless as he was? Suddenly a thump made link pull out of his thoughts. And he looked around at every one.

Impa turned to every one and smiled "Here we are, The Hyrule castle, when the door opens please follow me. Oh I only need link and Saria the rest of you can stay." She then turned and started to leave.

Link Looked at Squall and for a second then back at Impa. He gave a sigh and followed her. When he stepped out of the Vehicle, he was amazed at the beauty of the castle. It was as if nature and technology were meant to be mixed together. As he followed Impa, he passed many tapestries that showed a man in green fighting different monsters and such.

He then saw in one tapestry a picture of the man in green riding a sailboat away from a large landmass. He knew the landmass had to be Hyrule but he did not understand why the man who seams to be the hero left.

Further on the tapestries went and he saw there was a Great War after the man left. The last tapestry ended on a man in red hair. He was holding a woman with blond hair by her neck. He was holding his other hand above her chest and it looked as if a triangle was being bulled though her chest. For some reason the sight of this tapestry made, link feel terrible as if it was his fault the blond woman was being hurt so.

Impa finally stopped and turned to link " I see you are interested in that one. It is a picture of the first princess Zelda. It is said she willingly gave the Triforce to the Evil King. Once he gained it, she disappeared. No one knows if he killed her or if she escaped. However, it is that because of her willingness to give the Triforce away Hyrule had became peaceful. There have been no more wars and the Evil king no longer is evil. He is the founder of the new Hyrule and we owe our prayers to him." she then smiled and turned to the door.

"Now, when you speak to the Queen you must look straight into her eyes. She is quite young and she has the Temper of a Gerudo. So please watch what you say." She then turned and waved her hand. The doors immediately glided open.

Link had to remind his self to close his mouth the room was so beautiful. Then he saw the Queen and she made the room look dull. Her hair was flame red, when he got closer he saw her eyes were deep blue. She wore a blue dress with gold trimmings on it. Her hair was pulled up into a very intricate design. Her skin was pale but she looked to be about the age of 18.

"So you must be link, Hero of time. And you are Saria the Forest sage." She stood up and walked down from her throne. She touched links face and smiled. She then went over to Saria and looked deep into her green eyes. " I now have the last two pieces to my puzzle." she then turned and walked back up to her Thrown. And sat down. She looked link in the eye and smiled a wicked grin.

"Please come closer so that I may see if you are the real link I have been looking for."

Link slowly walked up to the Queen. Suddenly a flash made him stop. He was standing in the sacred realm with Zelda looking at the gate that held Ganon. She put her hand on it and gave a sigh.

"Link, this gate is the only thing that keeps Ganon from physically returning to Hyrule. However, that does not mean that when he regains his strength he will use his powers to control others. Link when that time comes. I hope you will be there to help me if he tries to use Me." she then turned to link and he saw the tears in her eyes.

"Zelda, as long as I am here he will not do anything to harm you. I will always stay here in Hyrule with you." He then took her into his arms. He then buried his face into her blond hair and let the smell of roses intoxicate him.

Suddenly the flash was gone and he was looking up at the red headed queen. Link looked at her. Then he remembered the story Impa told him when he saw the tapestry. Slowly everything seamed to click into place.

The man he saw in green leaving Hyrule was he. He left Hyrule and broken his promise to Zelda. While he was gone Ganon gained strength and used his powers to control the princes. He used her to free him and give him the Triforce. He then took Impa into his control and used her as a way of telling people Ganon is to be trusted again. Link looked up at the queen and balled his fists.

"I will not let you win Ganon, you will never have the third Triforce, I made a promise to keep Hyrule safe and I will!" Link then turned and walked away from the Queen. He took Saria by the arm and started to the door.

Suddenly there was a loud roar and Link stood between Saria and the Queen. What he saw when he turned around made his body turn to ice.

Link watched as the queen started to change her shape. Her small body begun to grow massive. Her young face turned into the face of a weathered old man. Her hair shrank back into her head until all that was left was very short and somewhat bald. Her clothes disappeared and were taken over by heavy armor. Link looked in awe and horror as Ganon stood tall where just seconds before a young woman was siting. He than raised his hand in a familiar way. Suddenly the room became dark. Link knew what was coming next and he was not about to stay and watch. He quickly turned and dragged Saria behind him. When link got to the door he was horrified to find it was locked he turned to Ganon and placed his self in front of Saria.

"I will kill you link, I could not kill the princess but I will kill you!" he then threw a dark ball of light at link. Link braced his self for the impact but suddenly a flash of light blinded everyone in the room. When link opened his eyes there was sheik holding two double- ended blades. He looked at link then at Ganon. Before the dark ball of light could reach link sheik raised a shield and the dark ball of light bounced off it and it Ganon. Ganon let out a howl of rage and pain.

Sheik then ran to link and fired a pistol of some kind. It hit a small box next to link. Suddenly showers of sparks blew out and the door opened letting link and Saria run through it. Link did not look back as he dragged Saria behind him.

Soon he saw the ship that every one ells was on and he ran on to it. He looked back and saw sheik was following them. Link quickly grabbed his Gunblade. Ready to protect everyone. Sheik fired the pistol at link temporarily causing him to fall back letting sheik onto the ship. Link quickly jumped back up from the pain and ran into squall.

"What's going on!" Squall yelled as sheik begun to push buttons. Link looked at him "Ganon is back, I need to destroy him once and for all." he then stumbled a little as the ship took off. Link quickly pushed a button on the side next to the door and it immediately shut.

When everything had calmed back down link walked over to sheik. "Sheik what happened?" Link did not even have a second to think before he was knocked to the ground with a sharp pain to the side of his head.

"You, that's what happened! Ever since you left. Hyrule has slowly gone to shit! I should of never of let you leave. But no, I thought it would help you and the princess. The first day you were gone all my sister did was cry, then as the months turned into years she slowly begun to draw her self away from me and Hyrule. Soon she became an empty shell; it was as if she no longer had a soul. Then one day she disappeared. Soon we found out what happened to her but it was too late. Ganon had already freed his self and stolen the Triforce. She was never seen from again and you never returned. Until now." sheik never looked link in the eyes he only steered the ship forward.

Link rubbed the side of his face and stood up "your sister?" Then it hit him. "How long have I been gone?"

Sheik looked at link finally "you have been gone for one thousand years". He then turned back to the steering controls and continued on his way. Link then looked up and saw they were headed for the forest. Link knew that sheik was taking him back to his home.

Suddenly link realized something. If a thousand years had gone by. Then why were Ganon, Impa, and sheik still alive? And how could Zelda be sheiks sister?..................
