Chapter 10
Zelda's Journey to the Lost Woods
December 7, 1255
Kingdom of Hyrule
Kokiri Forest
Early Morning
Zelda had been traveling for what felt like a lifetime!
"How could Link have done this for seven years?" She wondered.
This was hopeless! She was never going to reach the Lost Woods in time! Oh! And even when she reached the Lost Woods it would get even better! She would wander around lost for eternity if she took one wrong turn! It seemed like time itself was against her! Unless… That was it! She still had the Ocarina of Time! She could slow down time! She felt so foolish! She got out her Ocarina and prepared to play. But then it dawned on her! Only Link could control Time! She slumped her shoulders in despair.
"If only I had Saria with me!" she thought wistfully.
Wait! That was it! She quickly played Saria's Song on her Ocarina. What a catchy tune!
"Hello? Sheik? Is that you?" Saria's voice asked.
"Yes Saria it is me Sheik! The Great Deku Tree has sent me on a quest to find you! I am trying to get to the Lost Woods but I am hopelessly lost!" she cried in despair.
"All you need to do is find a great gaping hole with music coming out of it. You should recognize the tune!" Saria said as her voice disappeared in the mist of Kokiri Forest.
"Ok! I can do this! All I need to do is listen for music!" Zelda said as she rode further into the mist.
As Zelda traveled further and further into the deepening mist she thought she could hear someone playing Saria's Song. All of a sudden she saw a huge circle of darkness! Could this be what Saria was referring to? She felt hope spring up inside her. This was it! With all speed she hastened to the entrance to the Lost Woods. She finally made it! Her horse suddenly bolted inside the Lost Woods! She fought to hold on to the saddle but she was thrown off and knocked unconscious. The last thing she saw was her head hitting a giant rock by a tree in the middle of the Lost Woods.
