The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

This is my First Fan Fic, it will be replacing the older version in the Fanfiction Section. Criticism is appreciated as it can really help, please review.

The plot changes a little from the actual game, this is to make more interesting otherwise most people I'm sure would find the story to be more like an amatuer walkthrough.

Hope you enjoy it!

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

Prolouge

A soft breeze blew across the tree tops of Korkiri forest, birds sung in the trees and the sun hung low in the eastern sky, it was a warm cloudless morning far from peaceful, a small glowing creature with an orb like creature flew quickly above the tree tops observing a clearing in the distance, a moment later another one of these creatures appeared from the trees and joined it, they were both fairies.

“Navi! What is it?” The second fairy asked.
“Something is amiss,” Navi said to her friend as they hovered above the sea of green below them.
“Something has been amiss for ages! That’s not new. Look at the smoke in the west, the war wages on.”
The fairy was referring to the distant smoke coming from the west.
“Mori, aren’t you supposed to be looking after Mido?”
“Oh him, his asleep,” Mori said with a slight sniff.
“Is something wrong?” Navi asked inquiringly.
“His a spoilt prat Navi! I’ve never seen a worse two year old in my life!”
“That’s a slight exaggeration,” Navi said lazily, she looked out at the field of grass ahead and noticed a massive army riding along, she didn’t take much notice as she was used to these sights.
“It’s been going on for a hundred years Navi, do you think its reaching some sort of climax now?”
“Yes,” Navi replied simply looking out as the army raced towards where the smoke was coming from. “I believe it is.”

A little way from Korkiri forest at Hyrule Castle Nosan looked out the window looking towards the Hyrule village. He was dressed in a armour, including a helm and held a spear in his left hand.
”Sir,” A servant came to him, he was dressed in grey robes and was looking quite forlorn, “You have been summoned to King Daphon, it is urgent.”
Nosan did not hesitate to respond and quickly walked the length of the corridor, down a staircase into a corridor that led up to a large set of oak doors. Two guards greeted him and were looking almost as tired as the servant, walking into the throne room Nosan saw the large Shiekan woman Impa run passed him. As he approached the throne, Nosan bowed.
“You called for me lord?” Nosan asked.
“Yes I did,” Said the King. “It has just been reported to me that Kakariko village is under attack.”
“I see,” Said Nosan, that explained why Impa had run out of the room. “You wish me to send what is left of the army to Kakariko?”
“Precisely,” Said the king, just then a baby cried. Queen Zelda who was sitting by the king looked at the infant in her arms and sighed.
“Nice timing Impa, I don’t even remember how that song goes.” She said. “Hush now.”
“I have sent a few men up Death Mountain to negotiate an alliance with the Gorons, if all goes well you might have reinforcements.”
Norsan nodded and the king dismissed him, he walked out of the throne room and to the stables.

Within minutes Nosan had assembled the entire army, before leaving he decided to say goodbye to his wife Lara only to find she was still fast asleep. He walked over to the infant in cradle and kissed him on the forehead, the baby slept on.
”I may not see you again,” Nosan whispered, “I am sorry I will never be the father I wished to be but I am a knight, hopefully you can take on that role someday. Goodbye little one.”
His eyes burnt as he laid his eyes on his only son for one last time and then he turned and walked out of the room.

Not long later there was a huge fight occurring on Hyrule field, not far from the village. Archers lined the walls ready to fire if the fighting got close to the village. Kakariko’s walls had been breached and most of the archers lay dead. More archers tried to fill the walls but fell from the force of monsters that met them. Despite the losses the creatures were pushed back through the walls by a force of bulky orange creatures that had jagged rock like backs called Gorons.
”Looks like negotiations worked,” Said Nosan to one of his men, just as he thought all was well he was dismayed to see a messenger racing towards them on a horse.
”My lord! You are needed at the desert colossus, we’re loosing the battle.”
Nosan rounded up his men, thanked the Goron leader Darunia for his assistance and left for the desert to the west.

When he got to the ridges by the desert he noticed a massive chasm had opened up barring there way to the desert, some of the men had worked to build a bridge across. Nosan was concerned as to what had caused the crack that now lay between them and the desert. Progress across the bridge was slow as no one knew how strong it was. After a long while they were across and they rode through the pass leading to the desert fortress. Some of the men had made camp at the fortress and joined Nosan’s army as they rode across the scorching sands of the desert. They had to abandon their horses and trek on foot, as they neared the colossus they noticed it was up in flames. All the men lay dead around the burning ruins, no one remained alive.
“We’re too late,” Nosan said, he looked to the messenger beside him. “Inform the king, we’ll make camp at the fortress.”
The messenger bowed and left, just as Nosan and the army to leave they were ambushed and almost overwhelmed by the army of creatures that attacked them. Before long half of Nosan’s army had been slaughtered, the remainder of the army made for the fortress, a few men stayed back trying to hold off the horde of pig like moblins, dark knights and Skeleton creatures that were advancing but where had they come from?

Norsan’s army made a final stand at the fortress, they held the attacking army off for a while before the fortress was taken as well, Norsan and what was left of the army made way to the bridge where they were confronted by two witches.
“Well, well, well?” Said one of the witches, she had red hair unlike her companion who had white hair. “Trying to escape are we, why I thought our army would have finished you? Did you like them?” She said, Norsan drew his sword, so these two were responsible for the death of half his army?
“Norsan!” The man next to him warned.
”You will pay for your insolence!” Norsan said.
“Going to fight us?” The witch with the white hair chuckled, “You’ll need to finish of these ones first!”
With a blinding flash a giant army of undead creatures appeared and began pushing Norsan and his small force towards the chasm.
“ATTACK!” Norsan cried and he thrust his sword into the monster before him. His army fought back a few men tried to attack the witches with arrows and spears. Before long Nosan’s army had pushed back the undead army and made their way to the bridge. By then only a few men including Nosan remained, Nosan raced towards the bridge and got across but there was a sudden bang as the bridge went up in flames, one of the witches gave a wicked laugh as what was left of Nosan’s men fell into the chasm below, a large gush of water pushed its way through the nearby river as a nearby river flowed through into the chasm. Nosan looked at the burning remains of the bridge in horror hardly aware he was the only one left. One of the witches laughed and shot a blast of energy at Nosan, he tried to block it with his shield only it exploded on impact knocking him right onto the edge of the cliff. He found himself dangling above the chasm clinging to the cliff edge for dear life.
“Join us and we will spare your life!” A voice hissed, “The Gerudo would accept you and you could become our sons right hand man.”
“Never, will I join you!” Gasped Nosan, his lungs were burning with pain and he was beginning to loose his grip.
“Very well, shall we show him the extent of our power sis?”
There was a laugh and suddenly a strange noise like howling wind before a fierce voice spoke.
”Behold Twinorva!” The voice said, it sounded like the two witches had combined but Nosan couldn’t look up, he was too busy thinking about the castle he had left behind, there was a sudden bang and the rocks collapsed on Nosan, he fell into the raging waters below.

Lora woke up with a start and looked at her sons cradle. In her head she heard the voice from her dream speak to her again.
“Your son is the chosen one, take him to Korkiri forest. The man from the desert must not discover him!”
Quickly she gathered up her things, called for a servant to ready her horse and grabbed her son who was still fast asleep. Wrapping him firmly in her cloak she raced down to the stables without being seen, there was not a guard in sight, only a few servants. Lora found her horse waiting for her outside the stable, she mounted and rode across the lowered drawbridge and passed the bewildered guards who called out.
”Lora, come back! It’s not safe out there!”
Lora ignored them, she wished to tell Nosan but he had disappeared the previous day, she feared the worst. The guards by the gates noticed her too and called out for her to stop but she kept going, an army was attacking Kakariko village, a few of the attacking moblins noticed her and chased after her. The baby had awoken and was now crying loudly.
“Everything will be alright,” She whispered, unsure if this was true, for the sake of her child she had to keep going. As the forest came in sight Lora gave a cry as a sharp pain hit her back, looking behind her she realized she had been shot by an arrow and blood was flowing, she began to fill dizzy and realized she had been hit by a poison arrow, her horse was hit next but kept going before it began to slow down. The moblins advanced on her before she something flew straight across her head and looking back she saw a gigantic owl go crashing into the moblins, knocking them off their boars and onto the ground.
“RUN!” She heard a voice cry, she got off the horse the baby still tight in her arms and ran into the forest trying to fight off the feeling of dizziness.

Navi watched this from above, she watched as the lady entered the forest with the crying infant and after a moment realized that she nor the child had been killed entering. She knew what this meant and flew off as fast as she could to the great deku tree.
”Deku tree!” She called as she raced to a large clearing with a huge tree in the middle. It had two eyes and a nose, the trees eyes opened at the small fairy’s cry and he looked up.
“Navi? What is it?” The Deku tree asked sensing the urgency in Navi’s voice.
“A lady and her child have just entered the forest, they’re not dead. The lady is injured badly, Kaepora was just fending off the Moblins.”
“What?” The Great Deku trees eyes widened, a moment later he was interrupted as a lady came crashing into the clearing and collapsed to her knees, she held something in a bundle of cloth, her cloak was soaked in blood.
“Oh great Deku tree! I have come in answer of a vision I have had.” Lora gasped.
”Grab me a healing fairy Navi! Quickly!” Said the Deku Tree, Navi flew off instantly.
“Then it must be true.” The Deku tree said.
“Please, I have been told to assign him to your care.” Lora said, her voice barely a whisper. Navi returned with Mori and another fairy, the fairy zoomed around the lady twice and then a third time.
“What’s going on?” Mori asked quite bewildered.
“She cannot be healed!” Said Navi as the fairy zoomed around again and stopped. “There is some magic at work as well as the poison but the child will be fine.”
“Good,” Said the Deku tree, “Navi go get Saria.”
“She’s only five!” Navi protested, Mori seemed quite shocked at this. “She is too young to understand.”
“She is one of the ones assigned to help the hero, if the prophecy is to be believed. She will understand and has every right to know the destiny which she must fulfil.”
Without replying Navi went away.
“I will take him.” Said the deku tree, Lora fell to the ground and burst into to tears.
”Thank you!” She cried, the Deku tree gave her a sympathetic look. “What is his name?”
Lora’s eyes had closed, she opened them slightly and her last words were, “Link, his name is Link.”

Chapter 1 The Boy without a Fairy

Link, now a boy at the age of ten, sat on a balcony around his tree house, his house looked towards the lake and the cliff that separated the Korkiri forest from the lost woods. The entire forest was engulfed in a green haze, this haze was produced by the seeds of the Deku trees. A pathway had been built into the side of the cliff as a way to get the woods, Link watched as Mido passed by and waved to Saria who was walking with Mido, she smiled and waved back. After a few moments of relaxing in the midday sun Link got up and climbed down the ladder, he grabbed his small hunting bow from the base of the tree trunk of his house and made for the woods.

It was a cool day and Link enjoyed hunting for food in the woods, today however Link noticed that there were few animals in the woods save the birds. It was unusual that there should be no animal about this time of year, carefully making his way around a few massive plants that look like a carnivorous version of Venus flytraps that snapped at him Link made a note that the plants seemed to be spreading. He noticed that ivy was beginning to choke the trees around where the plants were.
“What’s going on here lately?” Link thought, ever since the tree crashed over the temple in the middle of the lost woods that was surrounded by a wall, strange things had been happening, deku baba populations had been growing when before their populations had been very small and even declining, deku nuts small creatures that disguised themselves as a bush had also been growing in numbers and a few times ventured into the Korkiri forest only to be frightened off by that large owl Link had noticed flying around.

Deciding that he’d come back later Link headed back to the forest clearing and found Saria by the shop which was a large hollow tree stump.
“Hi Link,” She said as he reached him. “I see you didn’t catch anything.”
“No,” Said Link, “Maybe I’ll try and get a few fish in the lake.”
“All the fish populations are dying out, the water seems to be warming, it’s a good job that we did our harvest earlier this year.
”The Deku tree must’ve known something was wrong, that's why he said to do it early.” Link said.
”Oh?” Saria brushed back her blond hair and smiled at Link, “So what have you noticed?”
“The Deku Baba and Deku Nut populations are on the rise and that I can find no animal to hunt.”
“Yes, it is strange,” Said Saria lookng very concerned. “Mido's noticed thats for sure, his getting grumpier by the day.”
“Why doesn't that surprise me?” Link said lazily.
“Oh come of it Link, I know his a bit annoying but you have to respect him, the Deku tree would want you to.”
“I realize that.” Link snapped, Saria sighed.
“I know his mean to you and all but he'll get of it.”
“Like when? His been doing it for years Saria! All because I don't have a fairy, I keep asking for one and the Deku Tree keeps telling me to wait!” Link said almost yelling, he kicked at the ground with his boot.
“He knows best Link,” Said Saria gently, Link smiled at her, it was good to have someone like her for a friend.
“Thanks Saria.” He said, “I'm getting tired. Maybe I'll go to sleep, the Annual Deku Festivals on tomorrow.”
Link noticed Saria's face fall.
“What is it?” He asked.
“It's been cancled,” Saria muttered, Link could only just here what she said but it shocked him.
“WHAT?” He shouted, Saria's fairy gave him a loud “Shhhh!”.
“It's true, I asked the Deku Tree myself.” Said Saria, “Because I was sure Mido would be making it up. I meant to tell you but its difficult I know how much you love the festival.”
Link sighed, what was going on around here?
“I best be getting to bed,” He said, “It will be evening soon anyway.”
“Goodnight Link,” Siad Saria, Link bid her farewell and walked slowly back to his house.

Lying on his bed Link pondered over the strange events in the forest, it concerned him and he knew he was not the only one, everyone had noticed and yet it seemed even the fairy's failed to answer the Korkiri's questions. The annual Deku festival was held each year, the Korikiri would go to the great deku tree and dance around a small campfire, everyone made a little instrument to play along with Mido's violin. Sometimes Saria would play along with him, it was Link's favourite time of year. It's a pity its canceled, Link thought sadly. Still pondering on the subject Link fell asleep.

Link dreamt that he was standing by what looked like a raised bridge inbetween a huge structure he did not recognise, it was a stormy night and in the distance he heard the cry of some animal, it sounded like a horse he'd seen wild ones roaming the forest. The raised bridge began to lower until it stopped as it came level with the ground. There was a loud clap of thunder, a white horse bearing two people, one unmistakebly a child and the other Link did not recognized, could she be an adult? The horse thundered towards Link, Link dived out of the way, it was then he realized he had a fairy. He looked back at the horse and saw the young girl looking at him, her face expression was that of a frightened child. The horse went out of sight and Link looked back as he saw another horse appear, this time a black one, its rider looked fearsome and had a very evil glint in his eyes. The man looked at Link and he heard a scream, moments later he woke up drenched in sweat and realized the scream had come from him.

Shaking uncontrollably Link stumbled out of bed and grabed a glass of water, he drank it and nearly dropped the glass. Still confused Link walked over and grabbed a towl from a corner of the room and wiped the sweat off him. It took him a few moments to recover, theere was a knock coming from the door.
“Link, are you alright?” Link heard Saria shout.
“I'm fine,” Link said, “Just a bad dream thats all.”
The door opened and Saria came in, she looked somewhat shocked at the state Link was in.
“Some nightmare,” Said Saria, “Are you sure your ok?”
“Fine,” Link muttered, “Maybe I'll just go and get some fresh air.”
He followed Saria out onto the balcony, in the distance he could hear the sound of insects and owls.
“It's so peaceful at night,” Said Saria.
“Yes it is.” Link said.
“What happened in this dream of yours?” Saria asked, “If you'd like to tell me.”
Since the dream was still fresh on Link's mind, Link explained it to Saria.
“That's interesting,” Said Saria.
“What?” Link asked.
“That is a peculiar nightmare, how can you dream of things you've never seen or met?”
“You mean you think it might've been?” Link asked.
“Maybe but I wouldn't worry to much. Unless it happens again.”

The following day Link had a somewhat normal day and by the end of it had little recollection of the strange dream, until he dreamt it again and the same thing happened the night after that. By then Link decided he better speak to Saria. Saria went and told the Deku tree, Link was unable to go due to Mido, what annoyed Link and Saria would not tell him much of what she and the Deku Tree had said.
“I assure you Link, he did seem a little worried. That's all.”
“But surely you can tell me more?” He asked pleadingly.
“I can't Link,” Said Saria, “The answer will come to you eventually.”

The next day Link busied himself by collecting berries and fruits from the woods for Mido, it was not a hard job but he still didn't like it yet he was the only Korkiri who could climb trees really well and thats where the best fruit usually was, Link would often climb up into the tallest branches to view the woods. After that Link used a long thin knife to cut large slabs of wood of some of the trees in the forest to give to the shop, they were all Deku trees as they were said to magical mainly because of the green haze they produced. After lunch Link went for a swim and washed his spare tunics hanging them out to dry, all his tunics were green which happened to be the theme of the forest. The day ended with Link going up to his little tree house in the woods, he sat there for sometime pondering and whacking deku sticks against the trees branches to see how tough they were.
“Link!” Came Saria's voice from the trees base, “Are you there?”
As silent as a cat Link leapt from branch to brach, careful to avoid Saria's gaze, he wanted to surprise her.
“Link?” She called looking curiously up the tree, a moment later there was a snap and Link fell out of the tree and landed flat infront of Saria.
“Ouch,” He groaned. “That's the second time I've done that.”
“Are you alright?”
“Of course,” He said, “Guess I'm a little tired.
“Link I brought you a present.” Saria said, she handed him a little waistbag, 'It's magic.”
“Magic? Where did you get this?” Link asked quite surprised.
“That's a secret, here I show you what I mean by magic.” She grabbed one of the deku sticks on the ground.
“Minumi,” She muttered, the stick shrank so that it was like a small twig, she placed it in the bag and took it out again.
“Maxi,” At this the stick turned to normal.
“Wow that's great,” Said Link, he took it and put it on, “It'll do that with anything I can pick up.”
“Not everything but most things yes.” Said Saria.
“Thanks,” Link replied.
“Your welcome,” Said Saria, “Shall we go back to the clearing?”
“Sure,” Said Link, he followed her back the forest clearing by which time it was evening. They walked over to her hourse at which Saria stated.
“I have to see the Great Deku Tree but I will see you first thing in the morning. Besides I think Mido has a point about you not going to see him, its really dangerous along the path now.
“More creatures?”
“Yes, I better go now.” Said Saria, she ran off leaving Link standing by her house for a few moments, he went back to his own house at which he made himself a simple dinner consisting of fruits and a bit of meat, afterwards he took a drink and went to bed. It took him a long while to get to sleep, he was reluctant to visit his nightmares yet he knew he had little choice. After much moaning Link eventually fell asleep, little did he know that his life was about to change dramaticly. Little was he aware of Mido and Saria's meeting with the Great Deku Tree and that they were talking about him.

Link was revisiting the same nightmare when suddenly he heard a voice.
“Wake up!” It called, it was a fairy! For a moment Link thought it was the fairy in his dream and remembered it never talked it only got very nervous. “Wake up!” The voice came again. “Hay wake up sleepy head! How can hyrule depend on such a lazy boy!”
Link knew it defiantly wasn't the fairy in his dream and woke with a start, he became even more startled when he noticed a fairy bouncing up and down in front of him. He got such a shock he leapt back and hit the wall.
“I'm glad to see your awake now.” The fairy said. “What's your name?”
“Err... My names Link.” Said Link rubbing his head vigerously, this was an unexcepted surprise?
“My name is Navi, pleased to meet you.”
Link nodded, he was quite confused. “What is it?” He asked finally.
“The deku tree wishes to see you!” Said Navi. “It's urgent.”
“Urgent?” Link asked. “Why did he not send for Mido or Saria?Bbesides I'm never getting passed him.”
“You will, come on lets go.” Said Navi.
“Do I have any time to eat or drink?” Link asked.
“There is time to drink.”
Link got a small bottle of milk off his shelf and drank it, it was a strange milk with magical properties, he felt his strength come back to him... putting the bottle back on the shelf he went out of his house onto the veranda.

It was early morning and most of the Korkiri's were out playing. As Link climbed down the ladder to the ground he heard Saria call out to him.
He jumped off and did a roll on the ground.
“Hello Link,?” Saria asked him, “Why are you trying so hard to break something? Just hope its not your neck.”
Link got up and smiled. “Oh no, just I find it boring to have to climb down the ladder.”
“I see... Wow. Link is that a fairy!” Saria asked.
“What?” Link turned around and saw Navi come up to him. “Meet Navi,”
“That's great,” Said Saria. “Mido's bound to be furious.”
“No doubt.” Link added. “I better be going, got to get to the Deku Tree.”
“The Deku Tree!” Said Saria in amazement. “That's amazing, your lucky Link, not many of us get to see him.”
“I guess not.” Link said.
“Did this have anything to do with your meeting with him last night?” Link asked curiously, “First that waistbag, now this?”
“Of course not Link, don't be silly. We were discussing the issues concerning the forest at the moment.”
“I see,” Said Link.
“We'll I better let you go now, bye. Be careful Mido's in a really bad mood, someone stole his money last night.”
“Not that he is always in a bad mood. Seeya.” Said Link, he went across the tiny lake and went over to Mido, the sound of the waterfall in his ears, was it unusually louder? He looked up at the clouds in the sky, Must've been raining heeps last night. Rain was very common in the Korkiri forest and usually called for celebration, the Korkiri would often call it the giver of life.

“How many times do i have to tell you!! You can't see the Great Deku Tree! Now stop pestering me.”
“I have to see the great deku tree.” Said Link.
“Why would the great deku tree want anything to do with you?” Mido asked. “I won't let you past, besides you don't even have a fairy!”
“Yes he does!” Said Navi coming out of Link's pocket.
“WHAT?” Mido yelled outraged. “Since when did you last have a fairy.”
“Since now.” Link added simply.
“I don't believe it!” Mido said.
“You better or your blind.” Said Navi.
“Shutup you!” Said Mido, Navi made a strange ringing noise, she seemed offended by Mido.
“Oh shutup Mido!” Said Mido's fairy. “I'm sick of your constant winging i'm going to the deku tree to see if I can swap!”
“NO YOUR NOT!” Mido snapped at her fairy.
“Your not swapping with me.” Said Navi sternly.
“That's the problem, no body wants to be Mido's guardian because he's a real brat!”
“SHUT UP!” Mido yelled angrily. Two boys had come over to see what the matter was. One of them yelled.
“Hey Link, you've actually got a fairy!”
The other one said.
“It's about time!”
“Clear off!” Mido yelled angrily his fairy sighed.
“Can you let me passed please?” Link asked.
“No! So go away or I'll report you to the great deku tree.' Said Mido.
“Go right ahead.” Said Link, “But that's a waste of my time.”
“Hmm... fine I won't, if you really want to get through here, you must have a sword and shield. I know where to get a shield but where your going to find a sword I don't know.... Your not allowed out of the forest, not without dying.”
“I've got a hunting bow, is that good enough?” Link asked, he'd just sold his last shield.
“No you need a good sturdy weapon, sorry,” Said Mido, Link sighed, I supposed Mido has a point he thought.
“Whatever.” Said Link and he walked off towards the shop. He pulled out a small bag from his wallet.
“I've got fourty rupees that should be enough.” He said.
“I hope so, we're wasting time!” Said Navi.
“How else am I supposed to get passed Mido, he won' listen to you or me.” Link said irritably.
“Don't get annoyed at me.” Navi said.
“Hey Link!” A girl was standing by the door of the shop waving.
“Hi” Said Link.
“You got a fairy that's great, now you can really be like one of us.” The girl said.
“Thanks.” Link said hoping that would be the last person to state that.

He walked into the shop, it was quite small and there were three other people in there. The shop keeper was so small he had to keep jump up in order to see his customers, his fairy it seemed was snoozing away on top of a shelf, it must have been very bored.
“Hi.” Said Link to the shop keeper.
“Hello.” The shop keeper said continuing to jump up and down. “What... Would... You... Like...”
He kept pausing every time he jumped.
“A deku shield please.”
“Very... Well.”
“Thanks.” Said Link, he turned and whispered to Navi as the shop keeper went over to the shelf.
“Wonder how he's going to reach the top shelf.”
“Beats me.” Said Navi she flew over to talk to one of the other peoples fairy's.
The kept jumping up and down trying to reach it the wooden shield.
“Need some help with that?” Link asked, a moment later there was a crash as the shop keeper smashed his head into the shelf causing half the items to fall down and scaring his fairy which made an angry ringing sound, the other fairy's turned to look at it and s******ed.
The shop keeper picked up the deku shield and gave it too Link. “Fourty... rupees... sir.”
He tried to jump up to reach Link, thinking he did not have time for this Link grabbed hold of the deku shield and the shop keeper didn't let go, when he did he dropped to the floor.
“Sorry.” Said Link. “Here's your money.'
He gave the money to the shop keeper who then said. “Have... A... Nice... Day.”
“Thanks, is there any chance you could tell me where to find a sword?”
“A... Sword? ... No... I... Don't.... The.... Trainer... might... know... though.”
“Thanks, bye.” Said Link.

He went out of the shop and up the road to the edge of the clearing by a hill top to where the trainer had his little field it had huge bushes all around and rocks.
“Hello Link.” The trainer said, he was trying to do karate and was doing a bad job. “Like some training.”
“Not just now.” Link said.
“Then what brings you here?” Asked the trainer sounding almost offended.
“I'm after a sword, I was told you might know where one is.”
“A sword, infact I do know where one is.” The trainer pointed to the hedges behind him, they seemed to make a large wall, it was actually a maze which the trainer had made, similar to the one going to the deku tree that Mido gaurded except that had signs and was easy to navigate.

This maze however was not as easy to navigate, he kept running into dead ends, eventually he came to a large treasure chest. It took him all his strength to open it, then he tried to lean it to see what was inside and ended up slipping and falling in, the chest snapped shut.
“Good one Link.” Said Navi. “Now were stuck.”
“It's not my fault.” He said and he tried to push the lid back up, only it was extremely difficult and could only open it a crack.
“Link.” Said Navi all of the sudden causing Link to loose his concentration and the lid shut on his hand.
“OUCH!” Link yelled and he pulled his hand out. “What is it?”
“A sword, have a look.”
Link realized he was standing on a sword, he picked it up.
“Well we've got a sword, how do we get out?” He asked.
He pushed the lid open enough for Navi to get out.
“I'll go for help if you can't get out.” Said Navi. “Try using the sword.”
Link wedged the sword under the lid enough to make it so he could get out, grabbing the scabbard he climbed out of the chest and carefuly got the sword without shutting the lid on his arm.

It it hadn't been for Navi knowing the way back Link might never have made it out of the maze.
“Ah got the sword?” The trainer asked. “Shall I show you how to use it well?”
“Alright.” Said Link, he was good at fighting with sticks, the sword didn't feel much different, only heavier.
“Let's just practise a few basic movements first... You use the sword, I'll use a stick.... ready?”
Link was naturally very good with the sword and it didn't take very long for him to learn the movements.
“Right... now we'll practise a jump and chop... you run, jump and as you jump swing your sword downwards in the air, you try.”
Link did as he was told and ended up chopping the sign on the trainers field in half.
“Sorry.” Link said feeling quite embaressed.
Oh well doesn't matter,I break it all the time.” Said the trainer. “Alright let's practise some defence now using your shield. Simply block my sticks attack, your shield is wooden so my stick won't break too easily.”
The trainer ended up being a little wrong, Link proved very good with a sword as well and in a final movement the trainer did a charge strike at Link, the stick shattered on links shield.
“Hmm... Deku sticks are usually quite strong. Oh well... I'm going to teach you parrying, which is using your sword to block my attacks, instead we are going to use sticks.
Link seathed his sword and picked up a long stick, they practised parrying a little and Link proved to be good at this as well.
“Okay, now I am going to throw small rocks at you it is your job to block them.”
“Is that the last thing?” Link asked, what if he hits me in the head? He thought.
“Just one more thing after this.”
“Alright then.” Link glanced over at Navi, she was chatting to another fairy probably the trainers.
“Ready?” Asked the trainer, Link looked around and raised his shield just in time to block a small stone.
Link managed to block all the stones sent at him and finally they got onto the last activity, movement such as rolling, back flipping, and jumping sideways.
Link mastered them all except maybe backflipping, the trainer had told him to backflip over the small fence. The first time Link smacked into it, the second time he landed on the fence and got a painful wedgy.
'This is getting slightly painful, thought Link, he streched his legs and tried to ignore the pain in his back.
One more try at it and Link sucesfully backfliped over the fence.
“That's it.” Said the trainer. “I must admit you are good!”
“Thank you.” Said Link, he was glad that was over.
“Come back any time.”
“Come Navi.” Said Link, looking over to Navi and the other fairy.
Navi looked at him and come over. “I never thought you were going to finish.' She said. “You were quite skilled though I must admit.”
“Thanks, let's go and see Mido.”

After a pretty bad morning Mido was in a very foul mood.
“I DON'T BELIEVE IT, WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SWORD!” He spat, completely outraged, “I thought I had you, there's not supposed to be any sword around here! Where'd you get it?”
“I'm not telling.” Said Link. “Now let me passed.
Mido paused, to him it seemed like a very painful decision to let Link pass.
“I won' let you pass.” He said.
“I have a sword and shield now let me pass.” Said Link, he wasn't going to let Mido get the better of him.
“No,” Said Mido.
Link drew his sword and pointed it at Mido, “Let me pass!” He hissed angrily.
“Ohh... The little wimps got a sword pointed at me I'm so scared.” Mido said, if he was trying not to be scared he wasn't doing a good job, he had a terrified look on his face.
“Wimp indeed.” Link said. “I've got a sword and you've got your fists... now let me pass,”
“Link!” Navi hissed, “That's not a good idea.”
“I know what I'm doing.” Link whispered to her. “Don't worry.”
“Fine!” Said Mido. “GO ON THEN, but even with a sword your a wimp!”
He stomped off angrily.
“Sorry about him.” Said Mido's fairy. “I could tell he was the scared one... He's a real pain, I really wish I could swap.”
“MORI!”A voice yelled, it was Mido.
“Better go.” Said Mori and she raced off.
“Let's go.” Said Navi. “We're late.”

Link ran through the maze, someone had gotten rid of the signs recently, probably Mido, Link guessed. Luckily he already knew his way through, as he walked through the maze he came across two plants that looked like a flower with a very long stem and a set of jaws.
“Is that a venus fly trap?” Link asked having heard of them before. “If it is it's the biggest one I've ever heard of!”
“No its not, that's no fly catcher. It's a carniverous plant.”
“Oh.” Said Link, “Right, how am I to get passed.”
“Don't worry, these are Deku Baba's this typed of Deku Baba doesn't have a flexible stem so it won't try and attack. Just cut its stem.”
Link did this and they fell and to his amazement caught just burst into flames, no sooner had the flames appeared the plants was gone, instead there were there were three deku sticks.
Might come in handy.” Said Link. He put them in the bag around his waist, remembering to say the magic words.
“Where did you get that from?” Inquired Navi.
“It was a present from Saria.” Said Link, Navi didn't say anything more about it.

He raced into the clearing which was surrounded by more of the hedges, in the middle of the clearing stood a huge ancient tree, the great deku tree. It's huge wooden eyes looking down at Link, one could look at the Great Deku tree and almost mistaken them for eyebrows. His nose was just as large as his eyes, it was a very good thing that he couldn't sneeze and that's exactly what was on Link's mind as he stared at the massive trunk.
“I'm back!” Navi called.
“About time.” Said the great deku tree. “I've been waiting for hours.”
“Sorry,” Said Link. “I was having some difficulties with Mido.”
“I see, Link I have summoned you here because I need you to do something.”
“What is it?”
“It's a long story would you listen.”
“Yes I would.” Said Link, he liked stories and the Great Deku Tree was the best storyteller around, it was another part of the Annual Deku festival.
“Good, not long ago a curse was put on me-”
“A WHAT?” Link yelled out of shock, that can't be right he thought.
“Please don't interrupt me.”
“Sorry.”
“That's okay, as I was saying a curse was put on me, by a man because he badly wanted the stone which I was given to protect the seal on the realm of the triforce... Once upon a time four goddesses decended upon Hyrule, named Din, Nayru and Frore. Together they created the lands of Hyrule and when they acended back to the heavens they left a powerful item called the triforce which will grant the wish of anyone who gets hold of it. I know that the man who came from the desert and put this curse on me wants it, for the three stones protect the realm which the triforce is sealed in. You Link must get rid of that curse, you must go inside me are you willing?”
Link pondered for a moment, sure some of the Great Deku Tree's stories were a little difficult to comprehend but to Link this was extremely confusing, he decided to simply obey the Great Deku Tree's wishes but first how was he to get inside?
“Yes I am but how, your a tree.”
“I know that but I am hollow and very large... moving around inside shouldn't prove difficult to you.”
“What about you?” Link asked still very confused.
“As long as you don't set fire to me I'm fine.”
“Alright then.”
Suddenly a huge hole appeared at the base of the great deku tree, it was his mouth but since he rarely needed to open it to speak Link had no idea it was even there.
“Go inside Link,” Said the Deku tree. “Only you can rid this curse which is draining my power.”
Link stared at the hole and raced inside Navi followed after him.

The story was in no way my own idea. In fact i have my own set of fictional stories which I much prefer writing, a friend asked me to do it but hey maybe your right. I'm better off sticking with my other fiction stories which I like a lot better and I wouldn't be lying if I didn't say writing a semi fictional version of Ocarina of Time didn't bore me and at I got sick of writing it but I thought I might post it since it has been done before by other users. Never mind, lets just hope someone locks it soon. Rest assured i have other stories not Zelda related that I enjoy writing a lot more, I was actually thinking of telling my friend this was a crazy idea, he is a bit crazy anyway enough said.
