Now, for most of this chapter, Link's young life dominated. I want to know, dear readers/fans. Should I keep that part? Revise it? What? It's up to you! Choose the fate of Hyrule! Oh and, if you want EXACT and I mean EXACT details on why the King wants Link and why Ganondorf is there, message me! Have fun!

As Link stepped into the lord bandit's lair, he noticed a stench that seemed so familiar to him, though he couldn't quite name it. This room was littered with stolen rupees and other various treasures. It was quite small, being the size of Syrup the Witches Potion Shop. There was a small table with a chair at the opposite end. In the chair, was a man with his back facing towards Link. This man had dark orange buzzcut hair. His cape was thrown over the back of the chair. Under the cape, black armor covered his torso. His pants were also covered in steel greaves. He had on brown boots. Link grasped his sword, readying to kill this bandit within the blink of an eye. The man seemed to notice this and smirked, speaking.

"Hello Link..it's been a while." The man laughed maniaclly.

Link gasped, the laugh gave him the answer. The man turned around, facing Link.

It was Ganondorf.

Tache slowly made his way into the chamber of King Zora. Thousands of Zora lay dead behind him. Zora sat on his "throne" which was a small (in comparison to him) waterfall. Tache stumbled up to the Audience Platform.

"You who kill the peaceful tribe of Zora! Who are you?" Zora shouted.

"I am the embodiment of pain and suffering." Tache said with a voice that sounded like thousands of bees. He smirked and brought his arm up.

"Don't think you can kill me as easily as you did the other Zora's." He stood up, his head touching the ceiling.

Tache clenched his hand into a fist. Normally, this would cause the chosen victim to have a heart attack. But it strangely had no effect on Zora. Tache cocked his head.

"What is happening?" Tache asked. He shrugged and threw his arm out, materializing his sword from thin air. He cocked his arm, pulled it back and threw it at Zora's chest. It grew in size as it approached him.

Zora clasped his arms together and muttered a few words. "Water, be one with me!"

The sword passed straight through Zora as though he were water. He then closed his eyes and slowly brought his arms apart, forming a small line. He raised his arms up and covered himself in rushing waters. Tache growled.

"Damn you!" He shouted.

The water then dissipated, but the King was nowhere to be seen. Just then, Tache felt a sharp blade against his throat.

"Give in now." Zora said, his voice was now calm, serene. Tache went to elbow him, but felt nothing.

"You reverted back to your younger self? How!" Tache spun around, spotting Zora, standing on the side of the wall, small and slender like a young Zora.

"It matters not. You shall die!" Zora raised his sword towards Tache.

Tache smirked. "Heh heh. You want a fight? Fight then, and die for your kind!"

He materialized another sword from the air. Zora flipped off the wall and landed a couple feet away from Tache.

"For the sake of my tribe...for the sake of all of Hyrule. I fight to the death for thee!" He gripped his thin blade as tight as he could as he dashed nimbly towards Tache. Tache did the same, though he ran his blade along the ground. Steel struck Steel. Blood struck ground. Above in the heavens, The Seven watched fate come into play. And they found enjoyment.

Rinne breathed heavily. He leaned against a tree, watching The King battling dozens of bandits at once like it was nothing.

What has gotten into The King? He wouldn't kill this many people, even if they were bandits. He thought to himself. He knelt down to pick up his sword when he suddenly felt a strong pain course through his veins. He winced and grunted. He collapsed on the floor, panting. And then, something he never expected to happen, did.

He wanted to kill the King.

Link jumped toward Ganondorf, his sword poised in front of him. Ganondorf rose out of his chair and grabbed Link by the arm.

"Easy now boy. Strange as it may seem, I do not aim to fight with you." He threw Link against the wall, sending massive amount of pain to the boy's back.

"Though I never tire of that." He laughed.

"Come..sit down. Please." He pulled a chair from the corner of the room and moved it towards Link.

Link hesitated, after all, his eternal rival just asked him to sit down. Politely. Link stood up, and set his sword and shield on the ground. He walked over to the chair and sat down. Ganondorf smiled.

"Now, something has..how do I say this..possessed the King of Hyrule. An evil far greater than I. This evil is also slowly possessing the soldiers of Hyrule, namely the most powerful ones, I'm sure you heard of them. Tache is one of them."

Link was shocked. He felt something was different about Tache.

"Still not uttering a single word I see. After all..why would you after what happened?" Ganondorf sighed. He actually shuddered at bringing back this distant memory. His normally soulless eyes now showed sympathy for Link.

"Your parents were murdered by--" Ganondorf was cut short when Link jumped at him, grabbing his throat and tightened his grip. Ganondorf struggled to throw Link off of him. However, as fate would have it, Link was the superior.

"Link!...Please...let..go!" Ganondorf pleaded.

Link loosened his grip on Ganondorf gradually, then eventually let go. He still gritted his teeth as he sat down.

"You seem to remember..at least me killing your parents. But do you remember what really happened?" Ganondorf questioned, staring at Link.

Link shook his head, his eyes meeting with Ganondorf's.

"When you were young..."

Link's Early life

It was a sunny day for the small village of Tali. Most villagers were out cutting their grass or fixing their roofs. But for a young boy, it was the perfect day to play hide-and-seek in the forest with his friends. This young boy's name was Link. He was an odd kid, he didn't have a last name. And that no one knew what he was, only his parents. And they hardly told anybody. Despite all that, people enjoyed having him around. He was a nice kid, always helping out when he could.

"Come on Saria! Let's go to the woods!" Link shouted outside one of his best friend's house, Saria. Like Link, Saria didn't have a last name.

"Okay Link, I'll be right out! Just let me get a shirt on!" She shouted from her window.

Link found her to be the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Though he was only seven years old, he was as mature as most of the adults in the village..at least around her. She opened her door and stepped out, her green hair flowing with the light winds. Her emerald-eyes showed age, despite being the same age as Link. She wore a green tunic, much like Link's. Covering the bottom of her feet were Jida, a type of sandal that only the Tali people wore. She trotted down the stairs and ran over to Link, hugging him.

"Hi Link! What's up?" Saria asked him..rather cheerfully.

"Same old same old." He said. He grabbed Saria's hand and turned around.

"Come on! Let's go!" Link said.

Saria nodded and smiled. Link had to have been the bravest kid she ever knew. She admired him so much, she thought the smile on his face showed how handsome he is. If he only knew...

Link dashed along the tufts of grass, Saria close behind. He quickly skidded to a halt when he reached the entrance to the woods. It was blocked off.

"Awww! It's blocked off! Dang!" He stamped his foot on the ground.

"Maybe we should just go back home and do something else?" Saria question Link. Though she wanted to spend as much time as possible with Link, she felt something..evil in the forest.

Link shook his head. "A little fence isn't going to stop us!" He picked Saria up and hopped over the fence. She blushed a little when he turned his face towards her and smiled.

They ran to the center of the woods, where their favorite stump was. Link hopped up on the stump and laid down.

"So, what do you wanna be this time Saria? Seeker or Hider?" Link asked her. He stared up at the sky, watching the birds fly by.

"Uhm...I'll be the hider!" Saria giggled.

Link jumped off of the stump and had his face facing the stump.

"One..two..three.." Link counted slowly.

She looked around impatiently, trying to find a good place to hide. She found a bush which should provide enough cover for her. She ran towards it quickly, jumping in it, crouching.

"Ready or not! Here I come!" Link shouted. He walked through the forest, trying to find Saria by calling her name, as if she would come out.

Then, out in the village, a horse whinnied.

"Saria! Did you hear that? Someone's here from the castle!" He shouted.

Saria stumbled out of the bush, brushing off the leaves and dirt off of her tunic. She nodded. "I heard."

"Let's go see who it is!" He said happily, skipping out of the forest. Saria followed.

"What do you want with our village?" The town elder asked the man on the horse.

"Where is the boy named Link?" the man asked, his lips curled in a small smile. He wore armor, with a sheathe at his hip. He was about twenty-four years old, though he had a full-on beard. On his head, he wore a golden crown. This was the King of Hyrule.

"Your Highness, what do you want with my son?" Link's mother asked.

"We need him for..our army if you could call it that." He said.

"A boy that young? Why?" The town elder replied. He had to look up at the King seeing as how he was only 4'7.

"He has something we need." The King jumped off his steed. He un-sheathed his sword and held it at arms length towards the elder.

"Tell me now, unless you value your life." The King said through gritted teeth.

The elder was a selfish bastard all right. "He and Saria ran into the forest to play."

The King sheathed his sword and grinned. "Excellent."

Link's mother started to sob. "Naru..where are you?"

As if to answer her question, a horse whinnied from behind her. Captain Naru sat on his steed in pride. His long black hair flowed with the wind. His yellow eyes gleamed in the sunlight. He grinned, showing his pearl-white teeth.

"Naru...don't tell me you.." She said through tears.

"Sorry dear, King's orders." He smiled, jumping off his steed, following The King.

Links mother was shocked. Her husband, his father, followed The Kings orders to take Link away. "YOU BASTARD!!" She yelled.

"Thanks hun." He chuckled and strode along The King.

Link and Saria made their way out of the forest.

"Isn't that The King, Link?" Saria asked, gripping his arm.

"It sure is. And he's coming this way." Link muttered. His jaw dropped and he gasped to see who was right next to him.

"T-That's...That's...my...fat..fath..father!" Link shouted.

"Link! Don't be afraid! The nice King is only going to take you to his castle. He needs to talk with you!" Naru shouted.

"Don't give him false impressions Naru. I'm here to imprision him, don't beat around the bush." The King said.

Link heard this and picked up Saria. "Their here to take me away!" He shouted.

An arrow shot from the sky struck Naru in the arm.

"What the?" Naru gasped.

High above, on the cliff tops, a tall man stood. The only armor he wore were steel greaves. He had a buzzcut, which was dark orange. He smirked, jumping off the cliffs nimbly, landing in front of Link.

"Boy! Find some place to hide! I'll take care of these people!" The man said, clenching his fists together.

"Ganondorf? The King Of Theives!?" The King of Hyrule shouted.

"Damn right!" Ganondorf exclaimed. "Hm. Two Kings. Looks like The Seven are working their fate bullshit again."

The King gritted his teeth. "How dare you speak those words in my presence? You shall die for that!" The King ran towards Ganondorf, digging his blade into the ground. When he neared Ganondorf, he slashed upwards attempting to catch Ganondorf off guard. Ganondorf smirked and caught The Kings blade with his hand, throwing The King and the sword back towards Naru.

Naru nimbly jumped to the side, catching The King before he hit the ground.

"Are you alright Sire?" Naru asked impatiently.

"Yeah. It seems I under..estimated him...yet again." The King said. He stood straight up.

Naru growled. "Ganondorf! You will pay for what you did to The King!" He dashed towards Ganondorf, who took out his bow and knocked an arrow. He waited for the right time to release, to kill Naru dead on.

Naru shouted "FOR THE KIN--" He was cut short when an arrow struck him in the throat. He fell down quickly, blood pouring from the wound. He was dead before he even struck the ground. Link was shocked. This man came out of nowhere, vowed to protect him, and then killed his father. So was Links mother.

"N-naru!?" She ran over to the body of her dead husband, sobbing even more.

"You want to die too?" Ganondorf said, knocking another arrow.

"NOOO!!" Link shouted, running towards his mother. He was too late. Ganondorf released the arrow. It shot towards Links mother, striking her in the chest.

She gasped. "Lin..Link..." She collapsed on the ground, on top of her husband.

The King stumbled backwards. "Shit!" He ran towards his steed and jumped on it. "Heeyah!" The horse whinnied and galloped on towards the castle.

"Tch..coward." Ganondorf said. He replaced his bow and walked over to Link.

"Hey boy, you alright?" He asked. Link sobbed, staring at his dead mother and father. Saria also sobbed.

"You...you vowed to protect me. Yet...yet you killed my parents..." Link muttered.

Ganondorf was wide eyed. "Oh..crap. I'm sorry..I didn't know. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!" He shed a tear.

Link didn't care. He set Saria down and shot a look at Ganondorf.

"I...vow..I will kill you. I will kill you Ganondorf!" Link shouted, so loud, it shook the heavens.

Ganondorf stumbled backwards. "So be it. The Seven ran their fate to me and you huh? Tch..." And with that last sentence, Ganondorf disappeared into darkness, leaving Link and Saria standing over the bodies of Links parents, and the villagers were stunned. They didn't care, they just shrugged it off and continued working. And because of them and Ganondorf, Link never spoke a single word again.
