Author's note: Hello again, readers! Before we begin, I would like to say that I have realized my two latest obsessions: Frozen and The Lego Movie! Don't get me wrong, I still love Zelda more than anything. Zelda is my life! So, I thought about creating a crossover with Zelda for one of my two newest obsessions. Sadly, I can't make a simple decision myself, so I'll let you guys decide: Would you prefer a crossover with Frozen or a crossover with The Lego Movie? Comment your choice below! Anyways, lets continue reading.
Chapter 4: The great storm
The next morning was a bit slow. Link was too caught up in his daydreaming about his past adventures that he didn't even notice that he had burnt Aryll's breakfast. He even managed to set fire to his glass of orange juice. "How does that even happen?" Aryll wondered the whole morning as she ate semi-burnt pancakes.
The weather was not helping Link's mood either. Grey skies, many clouds, and not a single ray of sunshine to be seen. However, this didn't interfere with Link and Aryll's training. Or in this case, only Aryll's training. Link was so lost in his fantasies that he failed to block almost every attack that Orca threw at him.
"Are you alright, Link?" said Orca after he had smacked Link in the ribs with the wodden end of his spear for the thirteenth time, "you seem a little bit off today."
Link, whose entire body ached from getting whacked a dozen times, said in between his panting, "N..no...I'm...f...fine...Or...ca. Oh goddess, I need a break". And with that, Link grabbed his sword and shield and exited the room.
Aryll sighed and said, "I'd better go calm him down. Bye, Mr. Orca!". Aryll grabbed her stuff and exited the room.
"Kids these days." Orca said to himself as Aryll left.
Upon exiting Orca's home, Aryll searched for her troubled brother. It was time to put her plan into action. The only problem was that Link was nowhere in sight. "Hmm...where could he have gone?" she asked herself. Suddenly, she looked up at the lookout and she got a good clue to her answer. Aryll made her way to the lookout and climbed the ladder up to the viewing platform. To her disappointment, Link wasn't there, but she also had a clever idea to use the lookout to get a better view of Outset. Using her telescope, Aryll got a better view and saw what appeared to be her older brother, fast asleep in his boat. This made things easier for Aryll because now she didn't have to fake a situation or pretend to be in danger to get Link in the boat.
Aryll left the lookout and went to go prepare for her trip. She went to go and buy two hyoi pears from Beetle, and also went to get Link's old sea chart. Having to sneak past her own grandmother and snoop through Link's personal belongings made her feel wrong, but it would all be worth it to see the smile on his face.
Finally, Aryll carefully made her way onto the boat, trying not rock the boat or awaken her sleeping brother. Once she was on the boat, Aryll looked for a way to raise the sail. She had never maneuvered a boat before, much less a sailboat. Then, she found a rotating lever. Aryll quickly found that it raised a huge piece of cloth with a turquoise symbol indicating wind attatched to a pole when she used the lever. And all of a sudden, to Aryll's surprise, the boat started sailing slowly. "Yes! Finally, it's working. Now I just have to find a way to get it out into the sea." ,thought Aryll as she searched for a way to steer the boat. There were no oars, no paddles, no nothing! She quickly looked down to make sure Link was still asleep. Then Aryll noticed another lever, only this time this one moved the direction of the sail. When Aryll moved the sail to the west, the boat sped up and was finally able to sail at a steady pace. Once the boat sailed smoother, Aryll started to sail away from Outset and into the Great Sea.
After a few minutes, Aryll saw that Outset Island was becoming smaller and smaller as they went farther. She was enjoying the feeling of sailing across the ocean and the wind blowing through her hair. She also slightly enjoyed the light rain. She felt like a brave adventurer on a quest to save the world or something. She felt like a hero. She felt like her older brother or Miss Tetra. They were the two people that Ayrll saw as role models, along with her grandmother and Gonzo. She wanted to grow up to be as brave and as fearless as them. Aryll returned to reality when she accidentely flipped a switch that triggered the boat's Swift Sail. Aryll and the boat took off as fast as lightning for a few seconds. She almost lost her balance when the boat tipped a bit. However, during that quick jolt of speed, the boat created waves, which splashed onto Link's face, causing him to wake up.
"Huh..wha..whassgoinon?" Link said while yawning. He still wasn't aware of the situation.
Aryll did not want Link to awaken so early, so she decided that now was a better time than any, "Surprise, big brother!" she yelled.
Link panicked, startled by Aryll's surprise, and fell back on the helm of the boat. "Hwwaahh!" he yelled as he collapsed. "Aryll? How did we...? When did I...?" said a very confused Link.
Aryll could see that Link was at a loss for words, so she began explaining, "I noticed last night that you looked sad, so I came up with a plan to lighten your mood. I waited for today and then I got you into your boat where I sent us sailing across the sea so that you could relive that past experience!" she yelled, due to the increasing rainfall.
"Little sis, I appreciate the favor you did for me, but do you even know where we are?!" yelled Link as the storm got louder and louder.
"Of course I know! All I have to do is look for Outset Island!" said Aryll, as she pulled out her trusty red and yellow telescope and searched for Outset Island. She looked for minutes and saw nothing but grey skies. "Uh oh...um...big brother...I think were lost."she said, sounding nervous.
"Wh...what? Oh no...this is bad." said Link. He couldn't believe it. They were lost at sea.
"Link, wait! Here's your sea chart! I took it with me in case we got lost! Maybe you can use it to navigate us back to Outset Island!"
Aryll pointed out, trying to be helpful.
"Aryll, that chart would be very useful right now, if only I knew where in the name of Din we were!" shouted Link, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Sorry, big brother." said Aryll, feeling ashamed in herself. She couldn't believe how wrong things were going. They were caught in the middle of a storm with little to no idea as to where they were. And it was all because of her dumb plan.
Then an idea came to Link's mind. "Aryll, have we been sailing in only one direction all this time?!" he asked.
"Yes, we have. Why?" she asked, not understanding his idea.
"Because if we've been sailing one way, we could turn back around and it could lead us back home!" he explained to her over the growing sound of rain crashing on the ocean surface and the wind blowing much more fiercely and ominous than before.
"Great idea. Let's do it!" Aryll said, regaining her lost hope.
Link put down the sea chart and tried to turn the boat a complete 180 degrees around by moving the sail, but due to the storm's intense winds and rain showers, Link had trouble steering the sail. Then, Link had another idea. He quickly spotted his magical baton, the Wind Waker, inside the mouth of the boat. Link got his magic baton and tried to change the wind direction by conducting the wind's requiem, but a violent wave crashed upon the boat, causing Link to lose balance and drop the Wind Waker into the depths of the Great Sea. As soon as Link thought it couldn't get any worse, it got a whole lot worse.
"Big Brother, what's that!?" Aryll asked, pointing to a distant part of the storm. It was huge, almost like giant, wet, rotating cloud. Link knew what it was, but he hoped that he was wrong. They were getting pulled in closer and closer by that thing. There was no denying it. "IT'S A CYCLONE!" he yelled in fear.
Hearing her big brother in fear made Aryll even more terrified than she already was. "Do something, brother! Anything!" she pleaded in fear as she grasped tightly onto Link's torso.
Link tried once again to steer his boat in reverse, but to no avail. The cyclone continued to pull them in, stronger and closer than before. Link was out of ideas. He had never felt so much like a failure in his life. He was lost in the middle of a storm with no escape and his sister was terrified. He had defeated a great evil and saved the world, but he can't escape a storm. Link had no choice, but to accept fate. " HOLD ON, ARYLL!" he warned as he felt the harsh winds blow and lift the boat out of the water and into the cyclone.
Link and Aryll were holding on for dear life, screaming their lungs out. As they spun around violently, they heard a threatening sound: the sound of wood cracking. Suddenly, the King of Red Lions split in two, separating the front from the back. Aryll was suddenly separating from Link, but he quickly got her hand and held on tightly to Aryll with one hand and the remaining half of the boat with the other. Aryll screamed, "BIG BROTHER, HELP ME! DON'T LET ME GO!", as she was almost swept away by the cyclone. "I...WON'T!" he yelled as he struggled to keep hold. Then, a wooden part from what used to be the pole for the boat's sail, appeared out of nowhere and hit Link directly on the head, causing him to fall back and release his grip on both the boat and his sister. They were now at the mercy of the tornado.
Aryll and Link were being tossed around like ragdolls. Link was starting to lose consciousness, due to the hit on the head. Before he did he heard a cry of dismay that belonged to Aryll. The last thing he saw and heard was Aryll reaching back for him, yelling "BIG BROTHERRRR!". Then, Link's vision dissolved and everything faded to black as he lost consciousness.
Author's note: BAM! Cliffhanger! So, what will happen next? Does Link die? Does Aryll die? Do they live? What happens to our heroes next? Find out next time on DragonBall Z! Oh wait..wrong reference.
