Chapter 4- A Hero's Dilemma (More old words, but if you wish to have them translated then go to www glyphweb com / arda / words html (put periods where the spaces are and remove said spaces from /.)

I do not own TLOZ. Again, original idea came from ChangelingRin, then HylianBagelLoZ. I might rush everyone meeting each other, but I just want to get it going. Enjoy. Some "Other" Hero will be coming into the novel too. And yes-there WILL be shield-surfing. But not for a while. (And no-he is NOT a Pirate...or maybe he is...?) (...cause you are a pirate...)

Hyrule Castle (WW)

Link had seen many strange things during his adventures, but this might have topped everything.

He was staring at himself. Or someone that looked similar to him. Whoever he was, the other boy hadn't noticed him standing nearby, but that was possibly because he was staring at the building the two were in. Link wasn't sure if he had heard the other kid right- did he say something about "Old Hyrule?" What was up with that?

Link decided to introduce himself. "Hi." At this, the other kid spun around, and took out his sword, which eerily resembled the Master Sword. "W-who are you?" Link raised his hands in the universal gesture of 'I mean you no harm'. "I'm not going to hurt you, okay? Put down that sword of yours so we can talk." The kid lowered his sword a bit, but didn't put it away. Then Link noticed where the other kid's gaze was centered. On his sword.

"...That sword...yes...I've seen it before-where did I see it..." Link put his hand on the hilt and the other kid silently nodded at him. So, he unsheathed his weapon.

The sound of the action echoed around the near empty room. "...I...I can't believe this..." "...Believe what?" The kid was looking between the sword he held in his hand, then at Link, and then his sword. "Before we continue, can I ask you something?" "Ask away." "What's your name?" "Link." The other kid stared at him. "What?" "...Uh...last name?" Link thought that this was a bit odd, but let it pass. "Forester." Then the other kid's eyes widened. "...For the love of...can...can I ask what your middle name is as well?" "What..." "I have to know if you're who I think you are." Link rolled his eyes at this. "Fine. It's Daniel." "...You're...probably going to freak out over this...but...if you are who I think you are...then...Okay, first off, call me...Andrew. And second..." Andrew seemed to steady himself a bit. "...I'm...I'm from your future. About 50 or 60 years from now, give or take a few...I'm...I'm your grandson."

Needless to say, Daniel did have a right to panic. But he didn't have time to. Because, as he was about to, a bright light lit up the interior of the castle.

(Be prepared for even more accents. (yes, some Links are related like WW and ST. BotW Link and Derek are directly related, give or take a few hundred years.)) (And, because BotW takes place in Ruined Hyrule, communication has broken down a bit, so, expect a very old fashioned way of speaking.)

Link didn't know what was worse-the fact that there were two younger versions of himself standing near him, or his headache. He went with the latter. ...I was beset...When he realized that he was not dead, he leapt to his feet.

Andrew and Daniel quickly noticed his accent. How could they not? And the way he spoke... "...Oi. You two. What be thy names?" Andrew stepped forwards. "I'm Andrew. He's Daniel...May I ask you something?" The teenager looked up from where he was sorting through some bags. "Yes...but wherefore?" "I'll explain later-what's your middle name?" "...My..." "What I mean to say is-what's your title?" "...My title...It be Hero of the Wild. And yours?" Daniel stepped forwards. "Hero of Wind. His is..." Just then, the three of them heard a voice. To their shock, it sounded female. And young. "...Link? I can hear other voices than your own-are you alright?"

A few seconds later, a young girl's spirit was floating before Andrew, looking a bit worried. "I heard other voices...what is going on?" "...Hi, Zel...listen...there's a problem..and you might want to turn around..."

The yet- unnamed Hero had taken out his sword (which seemed to be in very bad shape), and was pointing it in Zelda's direction. "Back! Back, ye vile wraith!" "...Zel..." "I know-he's obviously seen much..." Then Daniel noticed something. "...Is...is that the Master Sword?" The teenager lowered his sword a bit and looked down at it. "...'Tis so...but no longer...'Tis Demonslayer." "...Demonslayer?" "Yes. Cast yer eyes upon thy rust stains...'Tis blood." "Blood?" Then, both Andrew and Daniel noticed how bad the sword's condition really was.

There was blood on the blade, as the teenager had said, but it was also on the lower half of the crossguard, which were a pair of a blue bird's wings, faded and scratched by time. The gem at the top of the pommel was cracked and faded as well. The hilt had been nicked in places, and the light blue and faded green dyed leather that intertwined around the hilt was almost non-existent. The golden diamond still was in place, but was dimmed. Below that...was the blade itself. Daniel took a step closer towards the sword, and looked up at the Hero that held it in his grasp. "May I look at it?" Said Hero nodded, and passed the sword to Daniel.

As Daniel was looking his sword (which he was surprised he had given it to him), he noticed that the ghost who Andrew had spoken to was near him. "...If I may ask...why do you speak the way you do?" Link looked on as the two younger Heroes were marveling over his sword. He looked up towards the ghost and only then noticed that she wore a crown atop her head. "...Are you royalty?" The ghost nodded. "Yes. Princess Zelda...I over heard them talking about names...can I ask you yours?" Link nodded. "Nathaniel, but you may call me Nate, if you prefer." Then he realized something. "...How I'm speaking must be a cross between your way and my way...Interesting..."

Meanwhile...

The Darke Tower (2016)

"...You have been very good to me, Connor...But...I am afraid that I simply must help you." Connor lifted his head from where he had been restrained to his own bed. "You won't get away with this, Cornelius! If I can't deal with you, then Derek will!" Cornelius shook his head as he began selecting various books from the shelf near him. "What...what are you doing?!" Fudge lifted his hands and two balls of a blue colored light appeared in both of them. (So one in each hand) "What I am doing, Connor? I, am re-writing history!" With this, he swept numerous books into a bubbling cauldron that sat in front of him. Cornelius then threw the balls of Magic at Connor, and the very last thing the Warlock thought for a very long time was, ...Forester...I am sorry...So...so sorry...

So. We have a corrupt Minster of Magic, A Ganondorf that is GOOD, of all things, another Scottish Link, and other things. Tell me what Heroes should meet next-the ones that I've already introduced or new ones all together? Tell me, People!
