Prologue:
Here it is! The start of my prologue. The start of an adventure, as enlightening and disheartening as it was. It had to be done. The day of the mailman's arrival, bringing such a welcomed curse. I can't believe that this happened, over a VIDEO GAME. Just one! And i had WON it! Such a bittersweet prize it was, allowing into the world that i had once dreamt of entering, and... Well, that should be saved for later. It isn't wise to tell the whole story before you even begin reading is it? Heh, no, that wasn't a Twilight Princess reference, but still, that should not have happened. Anyways, this is the start, of an engaging story, one that will be passed down for centuries, until it is almost forgotten, and pushed back into one dusty book in the back of some abandoned library, like every other Legend. The Legends of Zelda.
Chapter 1 - Awakening:
I awoke to the sound of a spring. Not remembering who i was, or where i came from. I sat up, and looked around. The lush green forest had grown so thick, it had blocked out most of the light of day, so much it almost seemed night. Glancing around, i saw many bugs, the water-bugs in the calm spring, the grass hoppers in the bushes, everything. It was beautiful. The trees shade making a serene green environment, it was peaceful. I know i should get up and leave, but I almost didn't want to. I stood up anyways. I heard the bushes shiver behind me. I turned around, and saw a small creature riding a horse coming at me at high speeds, it swung a club, and i was struck in the head. All went black.
I awoke, again, tied to a tree, in a forest clearing. The trees had not yet grown here, and the light from the sun still shone down on the grass. A few monsters before me, standing in a trail. They were tall, maybe around 6 feet. They were three of them, tall, piggish beasts. Two of them were shades of pink, one a dark strong pink, one a pale flowery pink. They were being yelled at by a larger brown one. It wasn't yelling english, however, it was yelling in a disgruntled arrangement of snorting and other pig-beast noises, a language unknown to myself.
I began to struggle to free myself, feeling the bark begin to dig into the back of my t-shirt, and the harsh ropes twisting about my wrists. I new i couldn't escape. I began to look around for something to use, anything at all, that could be used as a tool to escape. There was nothing around that would have helped, but that help wasn't needed.
I looked up, and there was another man, about my own age, wearing a gold trimmed green tunic, sprinting towards the pig-beasts leader. He took his sword, a brown-hilted long-sword, and plunged it deep into the chest of the dark fiend. Blood began to spurt from the beasts chest, but the moment it spilled into the air, it fled into a cloudy burst of dark purple smoke, and dissipated. He pulled the sword from its chest, and it slumped into a pile on the ground. As the green-clad hero killed the other two beasts, the first was beginning to change. It darkened, and shriveled up into a wrinkled black leathery smudge on the ground, then it exploded. It burst into a black and purple cloud of smoke, then it dissipated and the air cleared.
As the other two repeated this process, the green warrior approached me. He began to cut the rope bonding me to the tree, and he spoke. "Don't worry, I'm only helping. My name is Link." He smiled. Something and turned back and spoke into the forest. "Fado! Its safe, you can come out now"
A young girl, also around my age, stepped out from behind a large tree. She was wearing a long green dress, and wore a crooked brown leather belt. At the side, she had a small stuffed toy bear strapped to the belt, reminiscent of the pig beasts that were just defeated.
Link turned to me, and said "Lets head back to our village and meet up with the others. I haven't seen you around here, where are you from?"
I replied, "I... I don't remember much of anything." He looked down the trail, and nodded, "Lets go to my village, maybe we can get you something to eat."
We started down the trail, the three of us, not realizing what was about to happen..
