Epona's hooves kept on clacking in a repeated fashion. Link was starting to get tired, but he knew that he had to keep awake. The Lost Woods was only another 30 minutes. Surely he could take a nap, Epona did know this place after all. Link sighed and wrapped his arms around Epona's neck.
"Go to The Lost Wood girl. Wake me up when we get there okay." Link murmured.
Epona neighed and kept on walking. Click-Clack Click-Clack the hooves went. Link followed the rhythm and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Link awoke in a cold sweat. He was back in the Hero's Realm. Link walked in circles, calling Shades name. Link felt sluggish walking. His strength began to weaken in the realm. Link called out Shades name again but was met with nothing. Black began to cover up most of the sky and ground.
A low voice called,
"Link you must awaken now! We don't have much time!"
"Shade, where are you?! I can't see you!" Link yelled.
"That's not important right now! Wake up before he kills you!" Shade bellowed.
"What?! Who's going to kill me!" Link cried out. Silence is what Link received until he heard a thump. Startled, Link backed up and called out,
"Who's there?!"
Link almost couldn't see anything. Blackness surrounded his body. He awoke again, this time on Epona. She was frantically trying to get away from something. An arrow whooshed passed his head. Link turned around to see Bokoblins chasing after him.
Link pulled out his bow from Epona's saddle and began to fire back. One by one, he took the bokoblins down. Still filled with adrenaline, Link began to ride towards The Lost Woods. He'd never been so close to his home village in so long, but it was not a time to visit. Link entered The Lost Woods. Once he did, he was meet with a sharp sense. He felt like he knew this place by every grass hair. He walked around smelling the scent of fresh oak and stone. Link didn't have to play Skull Kids game this time. The door automatically opens in his presence. Made his way down to the Pedestal. He made his way to the Master Sword. Crack. A small twig broke under someone's weight. Startled, Link pulled out his usual sword, an iron longsword. He stood still, waiting for another sound. Thump. He looked in the direction of the sound and was greeted by himself but an evil version of him.
"Just who the hell are you?!" Link shouted.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Dark Link." He hissed.
