Sorry this took so long! I got busy with work and school, and the layout I had for this chapter refused to be written. Then, I got suspended! :D My guardian had me call off work, so I had so much free time for this and Youtube! Thank you, Youtube, for you had given me the greatest idea ever: putting Linkle into my story. Linkle was a great help, the chapter practically wrote itself with her. And my muse has gone wild, so expect a lot more Linkle in the future.

She may be paired with Sheik, who will not be Zelda in disguise, which leads me to ask: Should Sheik be a male or female? I'm leaning towards male, and I'm even thinking about doing a male!Impa. Let me know your thoughts through reviews!

"Can't you drive any faster Alec?" Zelda complained over the radio. She was sprawled across the back seat of the cramped coupe. Alec glared at her using the rear view mirror.

"I'd like to see you drive in this blizzard. And the news said it was going to be sunny today…" Alec grumbled. Indeed, it was nearly impossible to see 10 feet ahead of them. Link was navigating for Alec, using both his sharp eyes and map reading skills to stop them from crashing.

Link signaled Alec, alerting him of an upcoming curve in the road. As Alec drove on the slippery road, the tires skid on a patch of ice. Alec quickly gained control of the car again, but all three had been badly startled.

"Link, let me know about the next rest stop or exit we can take. We should get off this road ASAP." Link nodded, taking his eyes off the road to glance at his uncle. From the backseat, Zelda suddenly screamed.

"Look out!" Link and Alec both noticed the blinding headlights right in front of them. In a panic, Alec swerved out of the way, but because of the ice it just continued to spin out of control. They hit the guardrail, but instead of stopping, the coupe crashed through it. The car slipped off the cliff, falling into the huge forest below. That was the last time the three passengers were seen in this world.

Linkle skipped along, humming to a made up tune as she searched for fresh ingredients to use for her dinner. She had stumbled upon a huge apple tree, and while very few of the fruits were ripe, there were enough. Now all she needed was a few herbs, honey, and a nice big bundle of mushrooms. Lost in her thoughts, she failed to notice a rather large root sticking out of the ground.

"Eeek!" She shrieked, stumbling forward. Linkle flailed about, somehow managing to regain her balance. Her apples were not as fortunate, and had been flung several feet in every direction. "Awww, those took forever to collect."

Linkle began picking up her fallen apples. As she went to grab the last stray apple, a hand reached through the underbrush, grabbed the apple, and offered it to her.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Linkle jumped back, almost losing her apples again. The person in the brush stood, revealing a young man that looked almost exactly like her. They could have been twins for crying out loud!

"Hey Link, where did you run off to?" A man's voice called, startling the young Hylian female. The man appeared, and Linkle was surprised by the similarities between her and the two strangers. The only differences between her and the newcomer was his height and eye color.

The man paused. "Hey Link, who's the chick?" Link shrugged.

"Excuse me, but I am no 'chick'!" Linkle huffed, stomping her foot. "And next time you want to know someone's name, try asking them first! For your information, my name is Linkle."

"Linkle and Link?" He said, looking between the two. "I didn't sign up for this shit." He mumbled to himself. "Zelda, he's over here! He found someone, maybe she can tell us how to get back to the road!"

From far away, a feminine voice called back, "Okay Alec, I'll be right there!" Soon, Zelda pushed past the low-hanging branches of a tree and came to stand next to Alec. She smiled, and reached out to shake Linkle's hand. "Hello, my name is Zelda. It's nice to meet you."

Linkle smiled back at Zelda. "I'm Linkle. It's wonderful to meet someone who actually has manners." Linkle pointedly glared at Alec, who huffed, looked away, and then brushed his hair out of his face.

"I know what you mean." Zelda remarked dryly. "Do you have a phone we can borrow? Or can you point us in the direction of I-321?"

Linkle looked confused. "I've never heard of a phone before, so I don't think I have one. And what's an 'I-321'? Is it a new farm or village? If so, then they should really change the name."
