“But, How can I live among people who won’t believe a word I say? How can I live knowing this, but not being able to tell anyone because they will mock me?” I asked
“You will find your way.” she responded
“Is that all the wisdom you’ll give me!?” I said infuriated.

Maybe I should start at the beginning. Hm. Where is the beginning? Well you see, I fell asleep and when I woke up I was NOT in my bed anymore.

If you’re reading this, you probably already know me, but I’ll introduce myself anyway. My name is Jesse,  also known as NoBakes ALSO known as Good_no_Bakes. Well, I’m a complete Game freak, I LOVE videogames! But despite what People say I’m not addicted, truly! I love Mario, Zelda, Kirby, Smash bros, you get the point. But I also play Piano, Dancing is fun, as is archery, I’m not the Bravest person you’ll meet. (I HATE spiders!) But I’m OK. I think I’m generally polite (but not the MOST polite) so I think I can say that I’m about average!

So ANYWAYS when I woke up I was on this platform with six strange looking pads in evenly spaced rows each with a different color and symbol. The first one was white with three triangles and three dots. The second, green with four curved marks each branching off from the center. The third was red with a fireball like design on it. The fourth, blue with six water-drop things with the tapered end facing the middle. The next was dark purple, with a triangle in the middle and three dots on each side of it. And the last was orange with two circles swirling on it both with a thin trail coming behind it.
From each of the symbols there was a about foot thick line from it to the center of the platform which had a pyramid of three golden triangles on it.
I’m going into such great detail so that you can envision this in your mind.
So from somewhere above me I heard Female voices.
“So is He REALLY the one you chose?” said the first voice, hers was sort of high pitched.
“He is too young, and is Male. It is TOO irregular.” said a second, more harsh voice
“Din, you did not have a problem with Farore’s choice, of Shaleena, who is both young and Female, when all Courage bearers have been older, and have been Male.” said a third voice silky, and patient. I figured that if this wasn’t a prank the third speaker must be Nayru, the first being Farore and The second Din. If (and I hoped it was real) was NOT a HUGE prank.
“And besides.” Nayru continued “The great Hero of time was no more than a confused boy, when he began HIS journey”
“This IS true.” Farore agreed.
That’s when I had enough guts to speak up.
“What are you talking about?” I asked. “Why Am I here?”
“See Nayru?” Din spoke up immediately “the FIRST words out of his mouth are questions. How can you choose such an ignorant fool?”
Ouch. What an Ego slap….
“Hush Sister.” Nayru said. I was staring to like her considering she was sticking up for me.
“I will NOT be silenced Nayru!” Din shouted back with a voice much like thunder. “YOU are an ignorant Idiot Boy, who Cannot offer the world anything other than MORE pain and More suffering” It took me a moment to realize she was yelling at ME now!
“DIN! He did not ASK for this! I CHOSE him!” Nayru yelled back. Also sounding like Thunder.
Then the darkness above me started flashing red and blue. After a minute it started getting higher and higher until I could no longer see it.
“Uh-oh” said Farore. The only one left in here besides me. “There they go again… I better go, um, intervene”
“But what about me?” I asked “you’re just going to leave me here alone?”
There was a tiny laugh, like the sound of bells then “no, I’ll leave someone here with you.” then there was a flash of green, and there was a Woman standing in the middle of the platform, on the Triforce mark.
She was a little taller than me, but not by much. I recognized her immediately, as Princess Zelda in Twilight princess style. Wait, no. That’s how I would have said it BEFORE I say her for real, but that was exactly what she looked like except for one thing.
She was old.
And I mean, not EXTREEMLY old, but old enough to have deep wrinkles in her face.
“Well, I better go now.” I heard Farore say “So Zelda, tell him everything he needs to know.”
“Yes, I will Goddess” Zelda replied. Her voice was somewhat musical but it sounded raspy and tired.
Then it was quiet.
“So, what’s up?” I asked. Feeling stupid the moment after I said that. I mean, I just asked the QUEEN of a great and powerful kingdom, ‘what’s up?’
She smiled and said.
“Well, The Goddesses went ‘up’ just now.”
Well, at least she didn’t make me feel MORE stupid.
“Um… well, you’re… OLDER Than I thought you’d be.” I said, trying to start a conversation.
“Well, what did you expect? A twenty year old princess?” She replied
“Well, not really but, um, where I’m from, there is these things called Video games, and, um well, I play them, and they sorta tell stories and you are in them, In one Called Twilight princess, and--”
“ You know about the encounter with twilight?” she asked. Sorta bugging me that she interrupted me.
“Yeah” I replied, “It’s not as good as Ocarina of time but, it’s still--”
“You know of the Legend of the Hero of time!? But, how?”
“As I was saying, there is these Video-Games and---”
“Maybe this is why Nayru chose you,…” she mumbled, interrupting me yet again.
“Chose me?” I said “for what!?” I was NOT prepared for the answer
“To hold the Triforce of Wisdom.” she replied reverently
I sat down.
“You have been chosen to hold a piece the sacred Triforce.”  She continued
“yeah, know what you mean…”
She let me sit there with this information rolling around in my head.
After a little bit I thought of something important.
“so, what’s the most recent BIG event that’s happened?” If I was going to have a Triforce piece I better know what’s already happened.
“what do you mean?” she asked
“Well, You mentioned the hero of time” I remembered. “then what happened?”
“there was the great flood.” she replied. ”and the Hero of winds Emerged from outset island and founded New Hyrule, Which is now known as just, ‘Hyrule’ Magic Users were found to fix the landscape like The first Hyrule. Many many years passed with nothing much happening until the kingdom was taken over by Zant. The Hero of Twilight saved us. Fifty years have passed since then.”
Ok I thought, concerning the history lesson.
“what happened to link?” I asked
“Please, In Hyrule we call all deceased heroes by their Story title.” she responded. I noticed her eyes were tearing up.
“Deceased?” I said, somewhat numb.
“The Hero Of Twilight Was slain, in a freak accident.” she said barely holding back sobs.
I figured it was a BAD idea to press her more, considering, how she was acting now.
After a minute she seemed to regain control.
“sorry.” she said, “but I prefer to not talk about  it.”
“It’s Ok” I replied, thinking I will probably hear what happened eventually.
“please.” she said “continue asking.”
“Ok” I thought about it a moment then asked, “what races are there around Hyrule?”
“well,” she replied “there are Hylians we live in castletown, the castle and in smaller villages across the land. There are Kokiri who live in the Great forest. The Gorons live on Death mountain and on other mountains across the land. The Zoras Live in Zora’s domain and in the great sea farther off. The Gerudo live in their desert and don’t usually socialize with the other races. And the Twili live in their parallel world.”
I knew everything to know about each race as she mentioned them, but that’s what happens when you spend hours memorizing these things online.
“how does Hyrule stand with the other races?” I asked
“We have steady trade and friendships with all of the races except the Gerudo.”
“but, Wasn’t the mirror of twilight destroyed?” I asked, confused.
Her eyes started tearing up again. “yes, the mirror of twilight was destroyed. But another device for traveling between the two realities was created.”
“who made it?” I asked, not thinking about how this could quite possibly push her over the edge of emotional despair
“the Hero of twilight.” she replied not able to keep the emotion out of her voice. “He created it, but it came with the price of his life.” then she completely broke down.
I wasn’t sure what to do. She was barely holding herself together, but I wasn’t sure how to help her.
“I’m sorry, for asking” I said, hoping to regain some stability from her. Even though I still had no idea what happened, I still could find out later.
“anything else I can help with?” she asked, still emotionally unstable
“ummmm…. What will I be doing in Hyrule?” I said, realizing that I had NO idea, what would be going on.
“you will live in the castle, along with the other Triforce bearers.”
“who are they?”
“Darma, is a young man who possesses the Triforce of power. He is powerful, because he was raised by Gorons. And There is Shaleena. She bears the Triforce of courage. She is from a rich Hylian family, who sent her away to learn magic.” she was, almost back to her unemotional self.
“when will I be going?” I asked
“in just A minute I will pass on to the other world. Then you will be sent to Hyrule.”
“WOAHOAHOAH! ‘pass on’?” I said, somewhat in shock “You’re going to DIE?”
“My time, has come.”
“but, if you won’t rule Hyrule, who will!? Do you have an heir?”
“alas, I do not.” she said. “it will be the people of Hyrule, who will decide who will rule.”
“so, the people are going to choose someone to lead them.”
“yes”
“then who is their choices?” I said, thinking of voting booths and election buttons
“it will either be one person, or many. But whoever is chosen it will be the will of the people.”
“just checking, but there is NO WAY that they’ll choose me, right? Because I don’t think that would be a good Idea, for them to choose this 14 year old kid, who is from a different planet.” I said, hoping she’d agree.
“it IS highly improbable” she said “but not impossible”
“OK, when will they decide?”
“Tomorrow. At noon, Darma shall ask the people and there will be a massive vote. If you go now you should have enough time to get to know the people there a little.”
“so, how do I get there”
She smiled. That worried me.
“I’ll send you there. Just close your eyes and I‘ll take care of the rest”
Oh
I closed my eyes, and slowly I lifted up off the ground. I WOULD have freaked out, but I had just been standing on a platform Magically floating through space with no wires, chains or ANYTHING I could see.
For a moment my body felt like it went to sleep, you know that tingly feeling? Imagine that over you entire body. I floated higher and higher, Then It all stopped. and everything was still. absolutely still.

Well, apparently I fell asleep or got knocked out or something because the next thing I remember was waking up.
When I woke up there was this Girl sitting on my chest. She had this sorta half smile, her hair was brown, nothing too out-of-the ordinary, her eyes were green, like BRIGHT green.
"Darma, he's awake!" she said, I noticed two things. One, her voice was, confident, and sorta exited.  The other thing I noticed was when she turned her head the side to look over at Darma her hair moved, and while it did it was red, and I mean, BAM bright red, but when she stopped moving it went back to brown.
From my left where Darma must have been There was a grunt.
"So, are you the new Bearer?" she asked me.
"Um, why are you sitting on me?" I said noticing my voice was a little hoarse.
"Because you wouldn't wake up, and I got tired of standing." she replied.
"Well, could you get off of me now?" I asked.
"Well, sure mister wisdom guy!"
As she got off of me I asked,
"So, you're Shaleena right?"
"And if I am?"
"Well, if I'm right, and I think I am, you are, Shaleena, the one with the Triforce of-"
"ok ok, I am." she said cutting me off.
I stood up and looked around, seeing a long white room. It had a slightly raised platform in front of me, and in front of the platform was a doorway, that let out into a sunny area. Behind me  the room continued to two stairways on either side of a black alter thing, with three hollowed out spots. Behind this alter-thing was a door. A BIG door with an odd symbol that I don't really know how to describe was on it. Oh, and there was two windows quite high up on both sides of the hall, and standing under one of the windows was a BIG guy.
I mea, this guy looked like the incredible hulk! But he's not green, and he's wearing a shirt. His hair was blond and I couldn't see his eyes. His shirt was red, and I guess it was supposed to be long sleeved but it only reached down to his fore-arm.
"Are you Darma?" I asked, figuring it couldn't hurt to be sure.
Well, I was wrong. It DID hurt to be sure, because he walked over to me, and kicked me over onto the floor again. Oh, and I didn't mention the huge sword he was carrying either did I? Well, Later I found EXACTLY how long. Five and a half feet of steel, with a vicious point near the end. And now the point was sitting on the bridge of my nose.
Yeah, it looked like there was about to be a rather large hole in my head.
"You are an idiot  if you think that you are the TRUE Triforce bearer." he snarled
"Well, If you're gonna kill me, then kill me already!" I said, before thinking he actually might skewer me.  
He paused. I don't think I breathed.
After an agonizingly painful minute he lifted his sword. And smashed the blade into the ground RIGHT where my head had been, about three milliseconds before. If I hadn't rolled away I would have been Jesse on a spike. I must have developed a spidey sense or something, because that's all that saved my life.
"Be glad I don't want you dead, Boy." Darma Growled through clenched teeth
My first thought was, 'be glad that Nayru has me in her favor' but that would have been stupid.
He went storming out of the temple of time, shouldering his sword.
After he was gone, Shaleena started laughing. Her laugh was cute, and it made me want to laugh too, but I didn't find my near-death experience to be funny.
"now, WHAT is so funny?" I said, I noted how my voice was almost back to normal.
"Oh, it's just, you've been here, what? Five minutes? And you already have the Triforce of Power trying to kill you!"
"And that's funny How?"
"Well, Wisdom and Power have NEVER got along! And I thought maybe for once, it won't happen that way?"
Oh, I thought
"Oh." I said
"Come on" she said "let's find a tailor to get you some clothes that look SOMEWHAT normal."
I looked down. I was wearing blue Jeans and a red T-shirt.
Shaleena started walking out. I decided it was a good idea to follow considering that out of the two people I've met in Hyrule (not counting Zelda because she's dead by now) Shaleena was the nicer of the two.
So, I followed.
So, first she took me to a tailor, who ended up sticking me in this blue shirt, the collar went up to the middle of my neck, and it had the Triforce imprinted on the front. The Triforce on it was Black, except for the Wisdom piece, which was gold-colored. So anyway I also got this snazzy cape which was blue also. I guess I had to wear blue because of the whole blue wisdom Triforce thing. The cape had the mark of the royal family on the back. And when I was done, Shaleena gave the Tailor a few rupees and a cape that she was carrying. The tailor unfolded the cape, and there was a burn across a good portion of it. I did NOT want to know how that happened.
So, after this whole scene she said she had a few errands to take care of before we went back to the castle.
We first stopped by a produce stand, where she bought a thing that looked like a carrot, but it was red, instead of orange. She passed the stand keeper a blue rupee and we continued.
I'm not going to talk about everything she did, because it was sorta boring. I mean the only thing that kept me from complaining, was I was seeing HYRULE! the kingdom, where my favorite Video games take place! I was able to see people, they were close to the people I was used to, but they had long pointed ears, and Their eyes were different colors than the typical ones I see back home. I saw one guy who's eyes, I swear were dark purple!
So after Shaleena's shopping trip I was still just following. And we came up to a HUMONGOUS castle. I mean, it looked like a thing you'd see in a Disney movie. Oh yeah, I just noticed that Shaleena was Wearing a pink shirt now, Compared to the green it was before. That was weird. So the gate opened up when we approached, they must have seen Shaleena because obviously they wouldn't recognize me, and they would have been all like 'Hey, what do you want Punk?' well they probably wouldn't use the word 'Punk' but, it would have been something along those lines. When we walked in, a knight came up to us.
"Madam Shaleena." he said "I trust that this is the Triforce bearer?"
"Yes it is, Riz." she replied "Jesse, met Riz. Captain of the Hylian Army."
Riz took of his helmet  while Shaleena was talking. He had brown hair that was parted n the middle and came down to his chin level. He also had a light beard, nothing too drastic. He reached out his hand, for me to shake. Imagine that! They shake hands as a greeting in Hyrule to!
"Nice to meet you" I said, while shaking his hand.
"No. the pleasure is mine, to meet the bearer of Wisdom."
Shaleena whistled lightly, and another guard came up. She whispered something to him, handed him her stuff and he ran off.
"Well" Shaleena said "Let's get the newest wisdom person to his room shall we, Captain?"
"yes madam Shaleena." Riz replied
And they started walking off, in the direction of the castle doors.
I don't know what I was expecting, but entering the castle seemed somewhat anti-climatic. It probably had something to do with whenever you entered the castle in games, you get a blast of music. But not in reality, no. it was rather anti-climatical so, this place was BIG. It sorta looked like the layout from ALTTP, but it had more doors, and the ceiling vaulted high. And in the middle of the red carpeted floor, was the mark of the royal family. The wings with the talons under them, the weird head shape, and the Triforce above it.
We walked up some stairs, across a hallway, up another stairway, this one wound upwards, until we reached ANOTHER hallway, where we stopped at the end of the hall, and to the right was a door, which Shaleena opened. And this was my room. Nothing like my one from home, though. It was BIG. There's no better way of putting it. And there was a HUGE bed, and a desk, with a chair. On the walls, there was a couple of BEAUTIFUL landscape paintings. One depicted a lake, with an island out in the middle of it. Another showed a mountain, with some people who, looked like they were made of STONE. I knew there was Gorons, but I thought of them like from OOT.
"if there is anything you need sir, just call, for a guard, and they'll make sure it gets to you" Riz said
"And if you need me for anything, my room is the one on the other side of the hall." Shaleena said.
"Well" I said to Riz. "could I get something to write on, and something the write with?"
"I'll see to it, that it will be brought to you." he replied and left.
"And Shaleena?" I said feeling worried "Is Darma on this hall too?"
"Yes he is." she replied "but normally you won't need to worry about him harassing you, up here. He goes to bed, around midnight, and wakes up at the crack of dawn."
Good.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'm off." she said, then walked out.
I was alone now. I laid on the bed, waiting for my journal supplies, to get here.
After a little while, there was a knock on the door. I opened it, and A soldier, handed me my stuff.
I laid it on my desk, and decided to try and figure out the Ink-Well, and quill thing. It took a little practice, but I slowly got good enough to write about a sentence without re-dipping. Then I wrote. I wrote everything that had happened that day, the chamber of sages, the temple of time, following Shaleena, around Castle-Town. How  Pretty, Shaleena is, and her odd Hair and shirt color-changing thing. Darma, how much of a jerk he is, his Huge sword.
Then after writing everything that had happened, I went to bed. Hoping for a all I was worth that this was all real.
It took me a while, but I got to sleep. And I felt ready, for the next day, when the people would decide who would rule Hyrule.
