Yep, I finally updated. Took awhile, I know. Hopefully it will be worth the wait for you. As usual, the characters and story line are not mine, just the odd twists and quirks.
The two made their way to Hyrule Castle Town just before sunset. While there, they met a red-haired girl. "Hi! I'm Malon! You are here! You need to go there! I can show you!" Link and Navi looked at each other and shrugged. "Ok," said Link, "Let's go." Malon led the pair out the north exit and showed them a vine on a wall. "Ok," she said, "Climb up here. Guards are dumb. Also very strong. Throw Green Boy out if he's caught. Find my dad. Here is an egg." Link and Navi shrugged again, then Link climbed up the vine. Of course, after he got to the top he immediately tripped over the Gossip Stone there. More like he ran head-first into it and was knocked out. Navi sighed and sat down on top of the stone to wait for Link to wake up. Actually, she was getting used to it since Link seemed to run into anything solid. She just hoped it didn't happen when they were sneaking past the guards.
About an hour later, link woke up. "Uh, Navi," he said looking around, "Why are we still here? Shouldn't we go see Zelda?" Navi glowed red again, but she didn't attack because she didn't want to knock Link out and cause more delays. "Yes," she said, "So lets go." Link nodded and ran across the top of the gate, making sure the guards didn't see him. Then he ran straight for the rough stones in the nearby wall, since they looked climbable. Of course he fell when he tried to climb them. At first, Navi was surprised that the guards didn't notice this. But then she saw one yawn and the other picking his nose, and came to the conclusion that they were at least as thick as Link was. Link jumped in the moat and swam to the side of the castle and climbed out next to a small tree. He looked around and saw a big man asleep next to some boxes. By this time, the sun had come up and the egg that Malon had given Link had hatched. Noting that it was a male, Link had an idea. He walked up to the man, grinning evilly. He quickly took out the cucco and poked it sharply (we will not say where.) It crowed indignantly and woke the man up. "Who, what, where…!" cried the man. "Link, cucco, here," replied Link. "Oh," said the man, still confused, "I'm Talon, from Lon Lon Ranch. I guess I fell asleep on a delivery again. If Malon knew…" "Ah, the girl who gave us the egg," piped up Navi "Yes, she was looking for you." "Eep!" squeaked Talon, "She can get really odd when she is angry!" He ran off, running Link over in the process. Navi sat down on a rock to wait until Link woke up yet again.
When Link woke up, he looked around. "Um, what were we doing?" he asked. Navi sighed and said, "We are going to crawl through that hole, dodge a few guards, and meet Zelda." "Ok, what are we waiting around for? Let's go! Um, what are these boxes?" Navi sighed again, then gasped as Link pushed the boxes into position and jumped to the hole. She was sure he wouldn't be able to figure it out. Maybe he was starting to mature a little. She changed her mind about that when Link fell backwards into the moat. Navi sighed yet again and shrugged as the dripping Link pulled himself up and got back in front of the hole. And to Navi's relief, he didn't fall again.
When they got inside, Link looked around. There were no guards in sight. He looked at Navi and nodded, then walked into the next area. There was one guard here, but he was asleep. Navi and Link shrugged, then walked casually but quietly on. In this area, there were two guards, but they were sitting next to the wall playing a card game. Link and Navi snuck by without drawing their attention. They came to a small structure with rupees on the ground and one guard. He was sitting down watching a nearby bird. Link decided going for the rupees would be too risky and Navi had to agree. They cautiously snuck past, with Link growing more confident about his skills and thinking of becoming a Ninja. They came upon two more guards. They were drinking their way through a case of Chateau Romani and dancing. For some unknown reason, it seems that drunken guards don't notice a boy dressed in green and a fairy go past them. Link decided to use this to his advantage. They finally came to the last area where they found a rectangle shaped bush with a statue in the middle of it. On the right side of the bush, they saw two guards drawing on the wall. Since they seemed more interested in insulting the King with rude glyphs, Link and Navi easily strode past on the opposite side of the bush.
They came to a small garden. Across from them, a pretty girl was looking through a window. Link and Navi walked up to her. Startled, she turned around. She was so pretty that Link's jaw dropped and he started drooling. Navi sighed and pushed Link. He semi woke up and struck a macho pose. Zelda backed away slightly, but shrugged. As idiotic as this guy seemed, he may be able to help. And if he got killed in the process, no one would miss him. Zelda nodded to herself and addressed Link. "Hi! I saw you coming, and the guards will be punished. But enough of that. I see you have the Spiritual Stone of the Forest. You can help me." "Um," Link said, "I can?" "Sure," replied Zelda, "I was watching this guy through the window and he looks like bad news. If you can get the other two stones for me, we can stop him from taking over Hyrule." Navi looked at her in amazement. "Zelda," she said, "Link is the most accident prone being in Hyrule. Do you think he can really do it?" "Yes, I do," said Zelda, "and since the Goddesses are out of town and white-eyed Gods are in short supply, he is hired. My assistant, Impa, will show you the song that will get you past many locked doors, even in the tavern. She will also help you get out of the castle."
Coming up next, Kakariko village and Dodongo's Cavern! Who knows when it will come.
