The Legend of Zelda: Dark-Type Princess

Hey, I'm back once again. Sorry for the long (and I mean LONG) wait, but I had other stuff to catch up with. This is chapter 4: Child's Play! Hope you like it!

I own nothing except my original ideas.

Chapter 4: Child's Play

Link decided to head back to the others, and when he entered the area, he found that Rusl was heading the way Link had come from.

"Oh, good morning, Link. I made a delivery for you. Go in your house and check it out." And with that, he left.

"...Okay, what was that all about?" Link asked himself. "But, whatever. Time to check my delivery!" He headed to his house, and saw a little Spinarak on the ladder.

He got out the slingshot, thinking if he should do this, and thought, What the heck? I can just get pumpkin seeds to replace them, like Sera said. He then pulled it back, and shot the little guy down.

"Spiiin..." the little guy said, then disappeared into nothing.

Talo, very impressed, said, "Whoa! You got a slingshot?"

Link looked at his hand, hid it behind his back, and said, "No."

Talo knew he had it, so he just ignored what Link said. "C'mon, ya gotta show it to us! Show us how to use it! Pleeeease?"

Link said flatly, "I got the slingshot for you guys, but I had to use it to destroy a Spinarak, and then you saw me, so, I'll just show you how to use it so you know how in the future."

Now, Talo was very excited. "YESSSS!"

Link was set up for target practice. Talo had set up the targets, and told Link, "Okay, you gotta hit all the targets. Just pull back, steady hand, focus, aim, and let go!" Beth looked at him in surprise. "What? I know stuff."

Link was confused, but said, "...I don't even wanna know." He focused on the target closest to him. It was just above and behind the scare-Murkrow. He aimed, steady, and FWIP! The target was destroyed.

Talo was amazed, and shouted, "WHOA! You hit it!"

Beth was covering her ears from Talo's loud voice, and said, "I'm sorry, could you say it a bit louder, please, Talo? I'm not deaf yet."

"Hey, knock it off, you two! I wouldn't mind normally, but I'm trying to concentrate! I can't just go around shooting things randomly, like this!" Link shouts at them, and starts shooting the slingshot hectically, unknowingly hitting the targets in the process. Coincidentally, he stopped at the last target. "See? I'm just wasting ammo!"

Talo and Beth stood there, staring, when Talo spoke up and said, "Uh, Link? You, uh, might want to look over at the targets."

Link looked confused, turned his head toward where the targets were. "Oh. Well, there goes my point. And all common logic."

Malo said in his usual soft voice, "I must agree with him on that note." Beth looked at him, confused. "What, is there something on my face?"

A couple minutes later, Link was in his house, and he saw the chest with his delivery. He walked up to it, and opened it. He reached inside, and...

"SWEET! I just got my wooden sword back!" He held his old wooden sword out in front of him in his hands. "Well, guess I'd better equip this, just in case I need it, which I doubt." He put the sheath in its usual position, and headed back out.

When he was outside, he decided to test his sword out. He swung it once, and he found that it's still good to go. A second or two later, he heard a voice from below.

"Whoa! You've got a sword, too?!" Talo said to him.

Link shouted in surprise, and fell on his back. He looked at Talo, and sighed, saying, "You guys just can't let me be, can you?"

Malo said, "Apparently not. That kid's got the hearing of a Zubat."

Link shrugged. "Eh, well, at least I can practice my swordsmanship. What the heck?"

Talo had set the scare-Murkrow up for sword practice for Link. "Okay, first we wannna see THAT move!" he said. "The slice! Uh, just press B, right?"

Link's eyes widened, and he turned his head to Talo. "What the heck is that rubbish you just said?"

Talo shrugged. "I dunno. I thought you might understand it."

Link did a facepalm. "Why do I even try?" With that, he sliced the scare-Murkrow horizontally. It didn't break.

"Whoa! A horizontal slice! You know, Link, I think I've seen you do a vertical slice. You know, holding L and pressing B?"

"Talo, stop. Just... stop."

"Hey, at least I'm trying!"

"At the fact that I might be part of something big - you know, saving-the-land-of-Hyrule-from-an-evil-darkness-by-clearing-temples-and-turning-into-a-Mightyena big - I refuse to commit suicide right here and now."

Talo blinked. "Oddly specific, but whatever."

Beth finally cut in. "It must be tiring with all the stuff you do, Link."

Link chuckled. "Yeah, no kidding."

Talo shouted at Beth. "Hey! I'm wanting to see sword stuff! Okay, Link, next, let's see the one thing where you thrust your sword forward!"

Malo said to himself, "Oh, please. The stab?" Beth looked at Malo as she did earlier. "Okay, you're creeping me out, Beth. Honestly!"

"OKAY, ENOUGH! I'LL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING I KNOW IF YOU'LL SHUT UP!" Link had finally lost it.

"..." Everyone went silent.

"UGH! I just wanna..." Link then started to attack the scare-Murkrow. First, he did the stab. It didn't break. Spin attack? Nope. Jump attack? Busted the pumpkin head. But didn't break it. Seriously, this game makes no sense. The ACTUAL game. That scarecrow is INDESTRUCTIBLE.

Anyway, Talo was amazed with this. "WHOA!"

Link was still red with fury. "WHAT?!" He looked behind him. He noticed the scare-Murkrow was scraped with many sword marks. He looked at his sword. "...Oh," he said with calm realization.

Talo was trying to gather the info he just got. Wait, did he get it? Okay, even I'm confused. "Let's see... I think I got it... Kinda... Maybe not..."

Link sighed, then did a facepalm. "Why do I even try?" he asked himself.

Talo didn't hear him. "So, this means, if one of those naughty Pansage shows up..."

Just then, a Pansage appeared behind Link about ten feet away. "Sage?"

"WHAAGH! C'mere, you!" Talo shouted at it.

"PAN!" The Pansage then started running to the Faron Woods.

Link was very frustrated at this point. "Today is NOT MY DAY!" He started running after them.

Again, sorry for the wait. It was worth it, though, I hope! Anyway, be sure to follow and review! Hope to continue soon! Bye!
