Zelda Book; Possible and Readable, or Impossible and Terrible?

That is a mighty question, for it is literature that goes before movie making, is it not? Take Chronicles of Narnia, or Lord of the Rings; films based on literature that has enchanted and amazed audiences everywhere. Could it be possible for a Zelda book to be made?

If so, then there will be things that we Zelda fans have *never* heard of happening in Zelda: Change and Addition.

First of all, the game would have to explain Ganondorf's reasons for being evil. What turned him? What made him become evil? We all know; The Triforce. Okay, but doesn't it take something greater to turn someone evil? The Triforce is great, yes, but since Ganondorf lived in the desert, would he *not* know of the Triforce? And most of all, how would he find out about the Triforce, and for what reason? Well, since I just *love* the series, I'll give an *official* theory.

*~(-Spoiler!-)~*
In the game of TWW, or as well all know 'The Wind Waker', next to the end of the game and the beginning of the Final Battle, Ganondorf discovers Link's presence, and he explains to him of how he came to know of the Triforce. His people, as we all know were the Gerudo, were dying from some illness (possibly starvation) which was too difficult to cure. The Gerudo, being thieves and rebels of Hyrule, would not be granted a way to have help from Hyrule. Let us say that Ganondorf was a great king and he was good once, not evil or anything, but good; he left to find help, and when he came to the kingdom of Hyrule, he came to its castle for help. Sooner or later, he learned of the Triforce of Power, so we know, and he grows curious to its whereabouts and he's intriguied by the stories about it. He seeks for it, but is refused the Goron Ruby, and he feels at loss. He goes back to the castle, learns of the Triforce of Wisdom; he grows even more intrigued, asks King Zora, is refused. His anger and desires grows greater. Finally he learns of the Triforce of Courage, forgets about his peoples illness, thinks of power and becoming the Ruler of the Universe, and then OoT happens.

See here? It's what would have to be explained now. *crosses fingers and looks up to the sky* Thank you Shigeru for that mighty information!

But there is also something that would need to be done: Expand the World. I mean, Hyrule is, to my eyes, a *very small* country. A run from Kokiri Forest to Hyrule Castle would take *a day*! I mean, think about it: Hyrule is supposed to be *the world*, and it only takes a day to get to someplace. Ain't that queer?

But think about other things, such as, Ganondorf claiming Hyrule and Link falling asleep: if Ganondorf had the Triforce of Power, wouldn't he be able to just *kill* Link from where he sleeps? I mean, *duh*! Even with Rauru protecting Link, Ganondorf'd be able to just take his power and sword, cleave Rauru in two, and do the same to Link.

As you can see, there can be gaps needed filling. What's even most needed, which will also make the story even more amazing, is what would happen to Hyrule with Ganondorf ruling and Link put to sleep; the Sacred Realm has been opened, Link's put to sleep, the Goddess of Time coudl be working hear, which means TIme in Hyrule and even the *whole world* would be *wacked*, meaning, Time is out of balance, and that's what makes Link the Hero of *Time*, is that with the Sword, he's able to cross through the time differences within the places being torn apart by time with the Master Sword.

*ooh, gotta go*.

Well, talk amongst yourselves about this.

Sorry for my '!s'.

The only comment I have about a Zelda novel is that the story won't be able to stay on the games' story completely. As we have seen with many timeline theories, there's too much ambiguity in the story, which means we really can't read too deep into the games' scripts.

Heh, well, I'll be sure to give you a book *anyone* would read. I've been writing it for 4 years and right now in the process of writing a second draft. Have faith in me; this novel is unlike any other fanfic you will have ever read. However, it is not copyrighted, so I cannot post it online. I can tell you bits of what you will be expecting and what history I've been writing and languages I am *actually* creating, like Tolkien, but that's it. Also, my book will be easy to follow since it is based on OoT.

Have faith.

There are quite a few Zelda books (I own quite a few) But they are just books for younger kids, And they are the Adventure books, You know the ones that say like 'If you want to fight the moblin, Go to page 10, If you want to run, Go to page 50'.

A novel would be quite cool though, Then it could even lead up to a film (If there ever is a Zelda film, I pray that it is Anime!)

Ha! Well, my book is not just for younger audiences, and it's not an Adventure book. It's a way better book than the adventure ones, so have no fear.

You will see things that you will remember but be amazed with how I interpret them into seeming real, and you will see new things which will take you into the world of Zelda, *deeper* than before. In my book (and the books I have planned before it), you will see mentionings to things that happened long before the book's setting, and you will also see that many of the things from the games will remain as they are, but with deeper history themselves. For instance, OoT Link's sword once belonged to the son of the King in the Second Age before the Dark Lord arose, and the sword's name is 'Orucrant'.

Impa and the Sheikah are given higher roles than being shadows of the valley, Link has a mighty and surprising journey alike the one he had but with different turns from the forest to the castle; he is also given companions on his quest (besides Navi), and the role of the Hero of Time becomes more important than being able to going back and forward in time.

Believe me, this book is *huge*, especialy with the books I have planned before it.

Cool, can't wait to wait to read the story. But since we are on the topic of books......... does anyone know where I can get translated Zelda manga? I have found the Japanese version online. Preferably in NY or NJ. Thanks guys!!!!!

As far as I am concerned, a Zelda novel would be some sort of horrible blasphemy.

www.historyofhyrule.com has some translated mangas, and I believe one of it's affiliates has even more.

Either way, thanks for you opinion, Lord-of-shadow.

Aye, the mangas there are pretty cool.

I dont think there is much chance of us getting a Zelda Novel, although it would be cool.

Like los said, blasphemy.........
I would read it though
One question though.....Are you saying your writing it? Or are you just talking about someone else writting one?

Thanks for the site los.

Nay, I am writing it; and have been doing so for the past 4 years, and, I have to say; if you thought Zelda was deep enough, think again. You now have two ages worth behind OoT, explaining more of the creation and the world before Hyrule.

Even though it could be so, I'd be honoured to have people read it, should the rights allow me to publish it.

-Tenial, Master of Writing! Mwa ha!

You won't get the rights to publish it.

Nothing is keeping you from posting it on the internet though, as a fanfiction. Which is exactly what it is. Perhaps some site will even adopt it as their "official" timeline "theory", like a site did with Luigi 64's fanfiction.

I think that as long as you keep the "soul" of the games intact and put a lot of work into it, as you have been, it could be a great book. A real epic! Good luck!

What site? Is it a good fan fic? I haven't found any that I really like yet. But I haven't given up hope!!!

My book has never been online, anywhere, and since most of it has 99% percent originality in it, there's a 99% chance that someone might steal my work and claim it as their own. I mean, there's languages I've made up with actualy rules to how to speak it, I've created worlds, peoples, plots, even added a few things.

-Tenial, Master of Writing! Mwa ha!

Well, then I guess you'll just never get the chance to share it. Because, and I'd stake my life on this, Nintendo will never allow it to be published.

There is always hope. You never know.

If it isn't, then I'll have to take all the material from my books (all the material are at least 100,000,000 stuff worth of history, languages, people, reasons of being, timline and etc), and put them into an original novel, even though it may be hard to make up a story. However, I've already got two ages of history and plot, so that might help, although I do wish my book does get published.
