The Chosen Heroine?

16 years later

Daphnes was a rebellious teenager. He never wanted to stay and learn of his royal duties. He'd rather explore and get to know everyone in Hyrule. This made rebellious almost a far fectched description. He was loyal to Hyrule but didn't agree with his father. Always being away from the castle, his royal majesty started searching for the Master Sword. It was hidden away awaiting the hero to pull it out. It was ready for its hero to arrive. His Higness the prince, however, wanted to take the title of hero. He did not know of his other fate.

Laura had grown into a fine young woman. Ladylike would not be a fitting description though. She was a pure tom boy. She'd climb any obstacle. Sword play with sticks. Anything. Her mother decided it was time to let her venture off. Her father agreed and gave one of his swords to her. He taught her tricks that only the greatest of Hyrule's knights could accomplish. She waved her family goodbye and headed off to become a knight at Hyrule Castle.

Her first stop was the Deku Forest. There was monsters in a couple nooks. She had no problem fighting them off though. She even stumbled upon an ancient looking tree. She jumped and fell over when the tree spoke.

"Hello there young ma'am."

"What makes you think you can call me ma'am?"

"A tree is talking to you and the first thing you do is scold me for calling you ma'am?"

"That was gonna be my next remark." She turned away from the talking tree.

"No one has been able to go this deep into the woods in a long long time. You must have quite a bit of courage."

Laura started fidgeting with her pony tail. "Why is that?"

"A certain thing was being searched for by those very monsters."

"Well I certainly hope it wasn't you. A talking tree is weird." She saw something in front of the tree that very moment. She walked toward it. She placed her hand around the item protruding from the ground. Then she started cutting vines growing on the ground with her sword. She observed the ground under her feet. "What's up with the ground?"

"Why not find out." She ran around in a circle, still observing the ground before her. Then she once again turned her attention toward the middle of the platform. She pulled more vines off revealing a hilt. Laura grabbed onto the hilt. Her hand glowed brightly with a symbol. She pulled away out of fear. The tree seemed to nod her on. The sword glowed as it was pulled out of the stone. The symbol on her hand started glowing even brighter along with the sword.

"Nice to meet you, hero of Hyrule." She stared in disbelief at the sword now in her hand. It felt powerful while she held it.

"But my name is Laura." She stared at the tree. Then she held up the sword into the light. Her hand glowed brightly with a single triangle. She sheathed her sword in the sheath that appeared.

"Laura, you're journey will indeed be a long one. I hope you don't mind going on an adventure."

"Adventure?" She smiled a smile that only a hero would smile. "Guess you found the right person. But why would I go on an adventure to save the land of Hyrule?"

Meanwhile, back at the castle. "You can't always run off without reason. You sometimes need to give me an explanation." The king of Hyrule was scolding his son.

"Father, I finished all the lessons for today. I am a young boy. I need my freedom."

"Freedom or no freedom. Why didn't you give a reason for your leave?

"I wish to become THE hero." His father gave him a look. Daphnes could immediately tell a lecture was incoming.

The master sword indeed needs a hero to wield it against the might of evil. The children both find themselves stuck in the middle of a flashback before actually being able to follow their assumed destinies.
