Winds of Hyrule Field ("Bells of Notre Dame" from The Hunchback of Notre Dame)

A parody of the Ocarina of Time manga. The owl known as Kaepora Gaebora tells the tale of how a child was brought into the forest and would soon become a major part of destiny.

A/N: There is dialogue near the end of this chapter (during the scene where the woman explains her troubles to the Great Deku Tree).

[KAEPORA GAEBORA:]

Morning in Hyrule, the lands, they awake

To the winds of Hyrule Field

The mailman, he rushes; the farmers, they rake

To the winds of Hyrule Field

To the children that live in the forest

To the family who all must yield

And some say the psalm of this land is

The calm of the winds

The winds of Hyrule Field

Into the night's how the story begins

Through the trees near Hyrule Field

One frightened woman ran silently into

The trees near Hyrule Field

For a war had just taken her people

And the fearless men with swords and shields

By the evil whose power

Was used to devour the winds

The winds of Hyrule Field

In this place, there lived a master called the Deku Tree

And he saw the woman crying, begging, on her knees

[WOMAN:]

See here the innocent child I have lain

From the winds of Hyrule Field

Now I am sickened; his father's been slain

In the winds of Hyrule Field

You can lie to yourself if you want to

You can help us all or just be still

But you will be astounded once you see what's bound to the winds

The very winds of Hyrule Field

[KAEPORA GAEBORA:]

And for one time in his reign

Of power and control

Deku Tree felt pain and fear

For this poor, little soul

[GREAT DEKU TREE:]

[SPOKEN:] What must I do?

[WOMAN:]

[SPOKEN:] Care for the child, and raise it as your own

[GREAT DEKU TREE:]

What? I'm to take care of this helpless…?

Very well. Let him live with me, in the woods.

[WOMAN:]

Live here? Where?

[GREAT DEKU TREE:]

Anywhere

[SUNG:] Just so he is kept away where evil cannot see

[SPOKEN:] With the Kokiri, perhaps. And who knows? The goddesses work in mysterious ways

[SUNG:] Even this small creature may

Yet prove one day to be

Of destiny

[KAEPORA GAEBORA:]

[SPOKEN:] And the Tree gave the child a beautiful name

A name that means connection to fate: Link

[SUNG:] Now what's bound to happen? Just guess if you can

Feel the winds of Hyrule Field

This little creature must save the great land

[KAEPORA GAEBORA & CHORUS:]

Feel the winds, winds, winds, winds,

Winds, winds, winds, winds,

Winds of Hyrule Field!
