After seeing the fake April Fool's video of a futuristic Zelda game, the little hamsters in my head got pumped full of 'roids. I got hit with millions of little pictures going through my head, and now I think I have them organized enough to put out a workable story for the next Zelda game:

I only have a semi-complete idea for the opening, so bear with me...

High up in the sky, the skyscrapers loom over the forgotten past of Hyrule. Hover-cars speed by and air-railways dart by transporting people from one end of the land to the other. In the midst of all the new technology, new ideas, and new people, a select few have charged themselves with the task of preserving the past. In a small church, this group gathers to pray to the three goddesses, and one of them, is Link. His good friend pulls him aside from the prayer and says that he has a great secret to tell Link. He says that Link was delivered to the steps of the church as a child. He had no records of any family, friends, or anything else. The one thing that stood out about Link, was the gold triangle that appeared on his left hand.

The church investigated this and kept the secret from him that he holds the Triforce of Courage. After 17 years, the secret is finally revealed.

Immediately after Link learns of this secret, his friend falls to the ground with an arrow through his back. Men dressed in all black drop from the windows and start raiding the church for important relics and information. Link is cornered by one of them. Then, a motorcycle bursts through the wall. The rider knocks Links assailant out and gestures for him to get on the bike.

As they escape, Link tries to find out who this mysterious person is. All the rider does is stop on the side of the road. He says, "I saved your ass, what do you care?" The rider then elbows Link in the stomach and knocks him off of the bike. The rider then takes off down the street and disappears.

Link notices the men in black followed him out of the church, so he ditches his robes and blends in with the crowd...

Anything I post about the development of a new game should be regarded as a game that I am making unless stated otherwise.
