Chapter 1: HylianKokiri by MadSkillz
Author's Notes:
In this I noticed that I forgot to mention the fairies the Kokiri have. Oh well enjoy!

Link was in his tree house with his friend, Finn. As always Link was having a terrible nightmare. In his dream he was walking in the Lost Woods. As he was walking he saw two, maybe even three, huge Deku Scrubs skulking around the woods. Suddenly, one of the Deku Scrubs noticed him and shot one of its Deku Nuts, which came as fast as a bullet, and just before it hit Link, he woke up.Sweating.

"Is there something wrong, Link?"asked Finn, with a bit of a worried look on his face."No, no just had a bad dream," replied Link, still sweating. "Well, okay lets just hurry up and get to Saria's for breakfast,as Finn said that he hurried off, leaving Link. Link got up and made his way down his tree house and to Saria's house. Saria's house was an elegant looking house, at least to Link. It had a soft floor with a rug in the middle where the table lay, with breakfast already set. The walls were green and hanging from the ceiling was a chandelier that lit up the whole room. Where did she get that? thought Link. "Hi Link!" greeted Saria with a happy look on her face. "Hi Link," greeted Claire looking really sleepy. "Hey guys, what's up?" asked Link. "The ceiling," said Finn, trying to make them laugh, he was always the best at jokes. Link smiled at that "So, whats for breakfast?" he asked. "Vegetables and fruit," said Saria.Don�t we have that all the time?� Link moaned. Yes, why don�t you go outside the forest and try to get something? Oh wait there�s a rule that no-one can leave the forest without permission. You know how Mido is to you� replied Saria, with a bit of an annoyed tone in her voice. Yeah, I know,� said Link. After breakfast, Link decided to go to the Lost Woods. He had weird dream about it before, he wanted to investigate. What he didn�t know was that his friend, Finn, was following him quietly. Link heard some rustling in the bushes. Cautiously he picked up a couple of� hard rocks and a strong stick. He got a rock and threw a rock at it. All of a sudden he heard an �Ow!,� so he ran to the bush to see who he hit. It was Finn. �What�re you doing here Finn?I was checking up on you, you looked a bit well�not like yourself when you went into the woods so I decided to follow, man that rock was hard,� said Finn rubbing his head.Okay,� said Link and pulled Finn up. He heard some more bushes rustling. Then two or three shadows moving in different directions. They were huge. �Just like my dream� thought Link.Watch out,� warned Link and got ready to fight. Suddenly Deku Nuts flying as fast as bullets came out of nowhere. They all missed. �Good� thought Link �They have bad aim�. �Look out!� said Finn as one Deku Nut came flying to his head, Link just about had enough time to move so it wouldn�t hit his head but, it went through his shoulder instead. He looked to his right and there was a lot of blood pouring out. Link fainted and Finn grabbed his body, ripped off some of his clothes and then wrapped it around his wound to stop it from bleeding. BANG!BANG!BANG! He had totally forgotten about them. They were still firing, but missing and so he slung Link over his body and began to run out of the Lost Woods.Link opened his eyes, he saw Saria and Finn looking at him. �Unngh,� he moaned. He tried getting up but the searing pain stopped him.Don�t try getting up so soon,� said Claire, just stepping into his vision �You�re lucky Link. If Finn hadn�t been there to help you you would�ve died by now Link looked at Finn, who was smiling, Link managed to choke up the words �Thanks for that Finn,No sweat bro,� Finn replied. Then Link went back to sleep.

He woke up, then tried getting up. No pain. He looked at his right shoulder. No bandage. �Good, I�m all healed up� he thought. He didn�t know what time it was but he went out of his tree house and went to see the Great Deku Tree. �The Deku Scrubs weren�t always that way before� Link thought �Since when did they get like that?� as he got to the entrance of the Great Deku Trees realm he was stopped by Mido. Mido was an average sized boy but Link was taller than him.Whoa, whoa, whoa, just where do you think you�re going?� Mido said �Go away, Mido I need to talk to the Great Deku Tree,� Link replied.What for?� he said. It�s for your sake and mine and everyone else�s okay? Now let me past,� Link said getting a bit angry.No,Did you not just hear me?� said Link and started saying in a babyish voice �It�s. For. Your. Sake. And. Mine. Do. You. Under. Stand?You�re not going through,� Mido said. Link then barged past Mido and ran to the Great Deku Tree. Mido can�t keep up with him, he knew that. He was too fast for Mido.I�ll get you for this Link!� shouted Mido angrily.

The Great Deku Tree was a tall elegant figure that always looked so new. He was so tall that you could hardly see the leaves if you were up close. Link approached The Great Deku Tree and asked him �Oh, Great Deku Tree the Deku Scrubs have grown stronger somehow do you know anything about this?Yes, they are being fuelled by an unknown power source. I do not know of it�s origin but it�s strong. Though it is not Gannondorf it�s still strong.Gannondorf?Ah you do not know of who you are yet do you Link?I do. I�m a Kokiri-,No you are not. You are Hylian. Just like your friend Finn. Both of you were sent here a long time ago by your mothers. You are also The Hero Of Time, you�ve saved Hyrule many times,Hyrule? Hylian?The Kingdom of Hyrule. What lies outside the forest.� A Hylian is a normal person but ages with time. They do not stay as children like you children do�� He paused. �Link look at your left hand,� Link did as he was told. He looked at it there he saw a triangle on bottom right there was a specific triangle that glowed yellow. The other two were just grey.Since when did I-?Ever since you were born Link that has been passed down from generation to generation of heroes� said The Great Deku Tree. �Now back to your problem. In Hyrule Castle there is a man there, the only man who knows of this unknown power, should be able to help you. His name is Drake. Go to the castle, the guards may not let you in, sneak into the castle and find a girl named Princess Zelda. Tell her about Drake and she shall show you where he is. Though Drake may not help you, you have to make him help you perhaps try showing him your left hand, take your friend Finn with you,Okay I shall do that, thank you,he bowed down you The Great Deku Tree and left his presence.

He went back to his tree house and saw Finn in there.� �Finn!The Great Deku Tree told me about why those Deku Scrubs were so strong,Oh really?Yeah,� said Link, he then told Finn about what they needed to do and Finn was shocked. �Really? We are? Wow!� said Finn �We gotta go straight away!No, at night when the others are asleep. Pack for both of us right now. I�ll buy us some weapons. How many rupees you got?350rupees,� said Finn.Okay combined with my 250 rupees we should have 600 rupees. Okay I�m off now pack both of us!� and with that Link left and went to the shop.Hey Link! What�s up?� said Kayla, the shop owner.Nothing much just buying a few weapons,Okay, what would you like?I�ll have 10 bombs, 2 swords, 2 shields and 10 deku nuts,That�ll be 500 rupees,Okay here,� said Link and he spread them on the counter.Thank you and have a nice day!Oh I will,

At night Link woke Finn up. They both got their swords and shields and put them on their back. They also got their pouches and left the forest very quietly and went to entrance/exit of the Kokiri forest. Finn and Link left a note to Saria and Claire of what they were going to do. Finn and Link both crossed the bridge and out the entrance/exit of the Kokiri forest. Hyrule Fields is a vast and exotic place. With land as far as the eye could see. The grass was hardly trimmed but that wasn't the issue. The issue was it was cold and there was snow everywhere. Link and Finn grew cold, they had no coats and so walking in cold for several minutes they went into hypothermia and collapsed on the floor, unconscious.

When Link woke, he was in a house that looked normal. That was all he could think of. Normal. He then heard snoring from Finn. Link grew accustomed to this. He learnt to sleep first before Finn and what he wasnt accustomed to was this singing. It sounded like angels from heaven came down and started singing. It was most beautifullest thing he ever heard. Link rushed down the stairs, opened the door and to his left was the most beautiful thing he'd seen. Her hair like golden strands of the best material ever and when she turned and looked at him, Link looked straight into the most beautifullest, sapphire eyes he'd ever seen. She was perfect, her face was perfect and he knew she was the one for him.
"Is there something on my face?" she said, smiling. Link then noticed that he must've been looking at her for ages.
"Umm...no...uhhh...hi?" Link managed to choke up, he always got a bit stupid when it came to girls. He prayed he wouldn't mess up.
She smiled, "Hi, I'm Malon. You must be the ones that my father found unconscious last night. Its a pleasure to meet you" she then held out her hand and he shook it. It was really soft. Link then looked around and saw stables and horses. He was on a ranch. One horse in particular stood out to him. He didn't know what it was but was familiar.
"You live on a ranch?" said Link.
"Yep. LonLon Ranch. Home to the best horses in Hyrule," Malon replied.
"Which horse is that?" said Link pointing to it.
"Oh thats Epona. My favourite horse,"
"Epona huh?" muttered Link as he walked over to it. Immediatley his mind raced with flashbacks. Him riding on that horse. Him playing a song and the horse came over. Him.
"Are you okay?" asked Malon, some concern in her voice.
"No, no I'm fine." he said"Can, I ride that horse?"
"Yup. I'll give you lessons"
Link mounted the horse and had more flashbacks. When they stopped he looked at Malon who was looking back in amazement.
"How did you...what the..."
"What do you mean?"
"You just rode that horse as if you rode it many times before,"
"But I-" Link was interrupted by the sound of Finn saying
"HEY LINK TIME TO GO!"
"Sorry Malon I've got to go," Link hated the idea of that. He just wanted be around her.
"Would you like two horses?" she said"take Epona that other horse with you"
"Thanks"
Malon went with them to the exit and waved goodbye. Malons figure dissappeared and Link turned to Finn and said "I, think I'm in love"
"With who that girl from before?"
"Malon," Link corrected"Yes. Shes so perfect. Everything. Her looks, her personality is all perfect."
"My Linky boy is all grown up," Finn teased and looked ahead and saw a figure of a castle. "Hey look, Link!"
Link looked and saw a castle and smiled but a thought remained in his head. 'How do we get in?'

Chapter 2: Breaking and Entering by MadSkillz

Link and Finn both got off their horses and walked on the drawbridge and went into the Hrule Castle market.
It was a beautiful place with merchants everywhere trying to sell their wares. In the middle was a huge fountain with nice sparkling water. It was a bit crowded and you could literally see people coming out of their homes on the sides to buy things. You could smell the food from the merchants selling food and hear parts of peoples conversations. Finn walked to the fountain, followed by Link and started chatting about their invasion plan.
"So, how do we get in?" Finn asked
"Lets talk about this somewhere else," Link replied. They went to an alleyway and Finn said,"Hey, look who it is" Link looked and saw Malon delivering milk to some people.
"Malon!" Link shouted hoping to get her attention. Malon looked to her right and saw Link, the traveller her dad found.
"Hey," she said, with a smile which melted his heart.
"Hi, sorry I didn't introduce myself properly last time. I'm Link," he replied.
"Hello Link I'm guessing this your friend?"
"Finn," corrected Finn
"Hey Finn," said Malon
"You look like you need some help," said Link hoping she would say yes.
"Please," she replied desperately
"Okay," said Link and Link and Finn both picked up some milk bottles and went around delivering milk.
"Okay, last one, Hyrule Castle," Malon said. Finn then rushed to Link and said to him
"Hey we can break in this way,"
"You're right," said Link with a mischevious smile on his face.

Hyrule Castle was big. Even taller than the Eiffell Tower big. With flowers in front of it. Before they entered through the gates a guard stopped them and said:
"You don't have permission to go through,"
"We're here to deliver milk,"
The guard looked at Finn and Link.
"Its okay they're helping me," and the guard let them through. The hall was large with chandeliers going down vertical.
"Okay on my lead," said Finn and said to Malon: "Wow you come here all the time?"
"Yep,"
"Do you know Princess Zelda?"
"Yep, her room is that way," Malon said and pointed in the direction of Zeldas room.
"Okay so do you...," Finn trailed off and Link ran off with Finn to Zeldas bedroom but ducked when he saw a woman resembling one of the Sheikah coming down the hallway.
Finn motioned to Link to keep quiet but their hopes were gone when the woman faked going past and sighed. She grabbed them and called for the guards and they pulled them out the hall where Malon saw them and looked confused then the guards threw them out.
After being thrown out Finn tried to say something but Malon interrupted and she said,"What the hell was that all about?"
"Well..." Finn said trying to think of something.
"We wanted to meet the Princess," Link blurted out.
"Okay, well I gotta hea-" she stopped when she saw Links head bleeding out of a small cut. She got on top of him and started cleaning it away with her sleeve. Then she looked at Link, straight into his eyes and thought 'wow' she wanted to keep looking forever. 'We're having a moment' thought Link.
"All right you two loverbirds," said Finn
Malon and snapped out of it and she got up and said,"I've gotta head off now" she blew Link a kiss."See you!"
"Hey man you got it going on you player," teased Finn.
"Shut up," said Link and continued "How do we get in now?"
"Well I saw a tree we could climb over the gate."
"Lets try it," Link said and they both ran over to the tree, climbed it and went over gate.
"What now?" asked Finn and immediatley after he said that Link had a flashback of him waking up a man and he got some boxes and jumped the moat and crawled through the hole after the visions went Link pointed and said,"Over there" Finn and Link ran there but there were no boxes and in his flashback he was ten whereas, now he was much taller and thirteen.
"Theres nothing here," Finn said.
"To the back," Link commanded. He had a theory but didnt know what it was yet. As they approached the back he found out what it was. His theory had been that maybe they dont look after back as well because nobody really looks at the back. His theory had been right. There were vines that stretched all the way to the top of the walls.
"Yes," said Finn happily.
"Lets go,"
They climbed the wall but it took them quite a long time because the walls were so high. When they reached the top and pulled themselves over Finn went to the other side and looked down.
"What now?" he asked
Link looked down. There was water surrounding some grass except for a little part. Then a girl dressed like a princess came and stared down at the flowers. Link had a plan and the water was quite deep.
"Can you swim?" he asked.
"No Link I'm not gonna jump down and my clothes wet,"
"I thought you'd say that," he said and jumped down pulling Finn with him. Link prayed to the Gods that this plan would work. It did. They went into the water and arose back up. Finn gave Link that stare that said "I'm gonna get you for this" but the princess heard and turned around when they came onto the grass, soaking wet. "Who are you?" she asked                                                                                "I am Finn and this is Link," Finn said and he got to the point and said "Where is Drake?"                                                                                                      "Why do you want to know?" she asked again. Link looked at Finn and he gace him a little nod, so Link told the princess about what they were told to do and she paused and said                                                                                         "He's that way," pointing in the direction.                                                         "Thanks, Zelda right?" Link asked.                                                                "That is correct," she said and then Link and Finn ran off searching for Drake avoiding all guards and when they thought they found him the woman resembling a sheikah came again.                                                                                  "Didn't I get the guards to throw you out before?" she asked                           "No," Link and Finn said in unison.                                                                    "I heard your conversation with Zelda, it is okay you can see Drake," she said and Link and Finn were relieved. She stepped aside and Finn thanked her and she said:                                                                                                      "Please call me Impa," Impa said. Finn nodded and he went in to see Drake. He was reading some kind of book and Link said:                                                 "We need your help, we know you know of some kind of unknown force that nobody has seen before. Will you help us? Link asked.                                                 "No," Drake said.                                                                                      "Why?" Link asked.                                                                                   "Because no-one will be able to stop it," he said, he didn't even look at them. Link then took his book at sat on the table next to him and showed him his symbol on his left hand.

"What kind of trickery is this?" said Drake almost raising his voice.
"No trickery, just the facts," Link replied.
"What is your name?" Drake asked, calm now.
"Link,"
"Link huh?...hmm...," Drake pulled out a scroll from his pocket he read it and looked straight at Finn.
"You boy," he paused then comtinued"What...is your name?"
"Finn," he answered and Drake looked intriged and said "You are the one who shall slay the unknown force,"
"What?" Finn said looking surprised.
"Yes, you are the boy of the prophecy," Drake said and he continued to say"I shall teach you all I know," Drake, Finn and Link all went outside to the castle courtyard. Drake was a master swordsman. He had this technique where you keep your back straight and walk whilst fighting. He even had one hand in his pocket. When Link or Finn made a wrong move he said,"stop" and then he'd adjust their position to the correct one. He taught them this combo: horizontal slash, diagnol slash x3, spin, upwards slash, horizontal. "Okay we're done but theres one neccessary power you need," Drake said, he was also a great magician. He put his hand on both of them and they felt stronger. "That is teleportation," he said "Go on try it," Link and Finn both tried and teleported successfully. "Now I need to show you where you get your stuff from to defeat this unknown power source,"
Chapter 3: Mako Orb by MadSkillz
Drake led them back to his room and showed them a large map. With an X in some places.
"The places marked with an X are the places you need to go to, to get the Mako Orb, Birds Stone, Sacred Sword and the Mad Bow," said Drake pointing to all the places they needed to go.
"Why do they call it the Mad bow?" asked Finn.
"Well because of a man who lived long ago whose name is lost in time wielded the Mad bow and they say he had incredible skills with it. They now call him MadSkills or you can replace the 's' with a 'z' as young people tend to do more often," replied Drake. "but anyways, first you need the Mako Orb which is hidden in the Lost Woods,"
"The Lost Woods?We know that place as if it were our home!Don't we Finn?" said Link. Finn nodded.
"Ah, yes but it will not be easy. As I hear the Deku Scrubs have become stronger,"
"I had a dream about that and its true," Link replied.
"Well, if you're going to beat them you'll need to have better weapons," Drake said and looked at their small swords and shields and got up got them stronger, longer swords and 2 hyrule shields. "Okay, now all you need is to go to the Lost Woods. Report back when you're done," Drake said as they equipped their weapons.
"Okay," they said in unison and left the room.
"Let me make a quick stop at Malon's house," Link said.
"You mean LonLon Ranch?" said Finn"Okay but make it quick"
Feeling excited, Link hit Epona and rushed off with Finn rigjt behind him. Link got off his horse as they got there and Finn stayed.
"I'll call for you okay?" Finn said. Link nodded and ran off looking for Malon. Instead of finding her, he found a man and asked him,"Where's Malon?"
"In her room, in a coma. Shes terribly sick,"
Feeling distraught Link went to Malon's room and saw Malon in her bed. Eyes closed. Fearing that this could be the last time he might be able to see her Link just said his feelings for her out loud.
"I wish, you could hear this but Malon I've loved you from the second I saw you. I've always wanted to be around you and its probably too late now," as he said that Link left the room, went back to Finn, mounted his horse and left. What he didn't know was that Malon wasnt in a proper coma. She could still hear and think but her body wouldn't respond, 'Link' she thought and she had to get better.
On the way to the to the Kokiri forest Finn asked Link
"You okay man?Whats wrong?" Finn always knew when something was wrong with Link.
"Its Malon. She's terribly sick and could die I don't know if I'll see her again," Link replied.
"Hey, it'll be okay. Did you go on this if you thought it wouldn't end well?"
"No,"
"See?Everythings gonna be alright," Finn said and Link smiled and cheered up. Finn always knew what to say. "Hey look its the forest!" Link looked up and steeled himself for what was coming. As they rode through the forest Saria stopped them and said,"I guess you guys are back now right?" When she saw the look on their faces she frowned,"Where are you going?"
"To the Lost Woods to get the Mako Orb," Finn replied.
"Do you guys know where that is?" she asked
"No, but I bet 10 rupees that Finn will automatically know or have a feeling of where it is,"
"You're on," Finn said and they shook hands. As they went into the Lost Woods, Finn started having a weird feeling. So did Link.
"You having a having a weird feeling?" asked Link
"Yes I am. Of something powerful. Something dangerous. Don't you feel it too?"
"Yeah I do. I guess nobody wins the bet," said Link and he saw something huge move around.
"Deku Scrubs. Sheilds up," Link said and they raised their sheilds. Deku Nuts came flying everywhere. Link blocked a few, so did Finn. Until another Deku Nut came and pierced Link right in his shoulder and out the back. 'Oh come on this starting to piss me off' thought Link as he dropped off Epona.
"LINK!" shouted Finn and ran up to him, tore off a bit of Link sleeve to use it as a bandage and he led Epona outside. He lay Link somewhere he thought was safe and he took out his sword. He was angry now. He wouldn't just let them attack his best friend like that.
"COME ON YOU PUSSIES! SHOW YOURSELVES!" shouted Finn and he saw a movement in the bushes and teleported there, right behind the large Deku Scrub and said, "You've been eating too much" and slashed downwards. The monsters body lay limp on the floor. He looked up, saw another one and teleported right above its head and thrust downwards. Straight through the monsters body. It had a large hole down through it and he jumped out. There were no more shots now, but Finn still had a bit of blood lust in him.
He picked up Link and mounted his horse putting Link in front of him. As he rode on he thought to himself 'Link sure does take a beating' and another thought spurred into his head. He turned around and went out of the woods. He went to Lon Lon Ranch and asked for Talon. He talked to Talon whilst Link was with Malon.
A rather depressed man said to him that hes with Malon helping her recover. He opened the door to Malons room and found her sitting up.
"Is that Link?" she asked.
"Yes it is. Do me a favour and look after him please," Finn replied and he was about to leave he said,"You know he loves you right?" and left the room.

Back at the Lost Woods, which he knew a shortcut into he saw a purple light. Just as he was about to go in, thirty bears from either side with pikes doing a phalanx formation were walking towards him on his right and left.
"Oh great," he muttered, then teleported behind one set of troops and started killing them. Some turned and ran and that blood lust came back. He teleported behind the other set and killed them. All of them. Legs, heads bones and arms.
He sheathed he sword and put his sheild on his back and ran for the purple light. He read a sign that said:
Only the one of the prophecy may go through. Anybody else shall suffer instant death.
'Well I am the boy of the prophecy' thought Finn and walked through. He saw a green orb illuminating purple light. Which then changed to green and there was another sign that read:
If the Mako Orb illuminates green, you can touch it. If its purple its neutral and when its red you will die on the spot if touched.
Finn took it and put it in his pouch. He ran back to his horse and mounted it. He rode through the shortcut out onto the Hyrule Field.

When Link opened his eyes he saw Malon looking at him.
"Hey Malon, I need to tell you-"
"That you love me," Malon interrupted.
"How did you-"
"You said it and Finn told me," she interrupted again.
"I thought you were in a coma," Link said
"I was but I could still hear it,"
"So..."
"Yes Link I do love you too,"
'Score' Link thought and kissed her on the lips. It would've been longer but Finn came in and said,"Mako Orb" with a smile on his face. "You did that without me?" Link said with a little bit of a sad expression. "Yeah we gotta go to Hyrule Castle now," "Can I come?" Malon asked. "Sure," Link replied. "Thanks," "You're welcome," Link said and got up. "Lets go," On the way to Hyrule Castle, Link and Malon couldn't stop kissing eachother. They kept on giving eachother a little kiss on the lips. As they got close to the Castle Finn said,"All right you two" and they approached the guard and he said," Here to see Drake?" they nodded. He opened the gate for them and they went through. "Ah so you've got the Mako Orb. Well done," Drake said, with a cheery tone in his voice. "Yup," Finn said, scratching his head. "Well," Drake said"You need the sacred sword now,"
Chapter 4: Sacred Sword by MadSkillz
"The Sacred Sword lies in Termina inside a deep, great dungeon filled with puzzles, mazes and other challenges," Drake said sipping his cup of hot tea.
"Termina?" Link asked.
"A place the Link before you went to," Drake answered but then continued on to say,"To get to the dungeon you may need to ask your friend. Skull Kid"
"Skull Kid?" Finn asked.
"One of the other Links in the past befriended him,"
"What are you guys talking about?" Malon asked, looking confused.
"Who is she?" Drake asked looking straight at Malon. Which creeped her out.
"My girlfriend," Link said putting his arm around her,"I'll explain" which he did. From start to finish.
"Oh okay," said Malon and kissed Link on the cheek,"I'm gonna see Zelda now bye" and she turned and left the room.
"Let me give you this map," Drake said taking out a large piece of paper with what looked like blueprints on it,"Its the dungeon map. It will show you the way"
"Thanks, we will be leaving now," Finn replied and just as they were about to leave, Drake called them back and said,"The unknown force is wary of you now. It may hound your thoughts and send strong monsters"
They both nodded and left the room.

Finn and Link were stumped. They had no idea of which way to go.
"How about that way," Link said pointing northeast,"Through the trees"
"Lets give it a shot," Finn replied and they both mounted their horses and set off in that direction. As they went through the trees(luckily there was a path there)Link had a flashback. He was riding Epona through these same woods except he was much younger, then a weirdly dressed kid took his horse and ran off with it. After that the flashback stopped.
Finn heard some rustling in the bushes and out came a weirdly dressed kid and Link and Finn sidestepped out of the way. The weirdly dressed kid fell down to the ground Link said,"Skull Kid,"
The boy turned around, surprised."How do you know my name?"
"Its me Link,"
"No, Link disappeared a few years back and I havent seen him since. He used to have this mark on his left-"
"You mean this mark?" Link interrupted and showed him his left hand.
"No way," Skull Kid said surprised.
"Now thats cleared up, wheres the dungeon for the Sacred Sword?" Finn asked.
"Across Termina, all the way down to the left, and eventually you'll see a hole in the ground. Jump in it," Skull Kid answered.
Termina Field was big, if not as big as Hrule Field. This grass was trimmed with a nice sheen to it. As they walked on they began to see the hole Skull Kid was talking about.
"Over there!" Finn said, pointing at the hole and rushed over to it. Link followed. They both jumped in, first Finn then Link.
Their fall seemed to go on forever. When they landed it was dark, damp and the floor was soil. They could just about see that the way in front of them split off left and right.
"Its too dark," Finn said and was squinting through the darkness.
"Yeah, I know," Link replied and walked forward. He looked to the left. Pitch black darkness. He looked to the right. The same. He touched in front of him and the surface felt like rough wood, he moved his hand to the right and it felt smooth like glass. A door.
"Hey Finn come and help me find the doorknob," Link asked moving his hand along the door but he couldn't find anything.
"Alright but where are you?" Finn said moving around like a blind man. Finn put his hand on Links face.
"Mhhrh! Wyrr arr yuu dinn!?" Link mumbled.
"What?"
"Yerr aound is mon my ace!"
"Ohh..." Finn replied, luckily he understood. He moved his hand off Link's face and Link let out a relieved sigh. Finn found the door knob and opened the door. There was a lit match there on the table and next to it a torch that was open and had wood, paper and coal in it. Finn guessed that the match would have to go in the open torch. He took it and lit the torch, he then blew out the match and took the torch and they could see. Only the floor was soil and the walls were granite. Along the walls were candles which Link guessed had to be lit up. He got the torch and lit up the candles in front of him. Finn took out the map and Link came over.
"Seems.like we go right," Link said.
"Yup,"
As they walked on, Link was lighting up the candles. They occasionally stopped to check the map, to see if they were going the right way. They came up to a room with a sign that read:
"Make all the tiles green to pass"
They went in and the door shut behind them and bars shot straight down.
"So...what?Do we just step on the tiles?" Link suggested, but it was more of a question.
"I think so," Finn answered and stepped on a green tile. The three coloured tiles around him became green. Link got on the green tile diagnol to Finn. Only a tile adjacent to it became green. They carried on like this until all the tiles became green.
The bars shot back up, on both doors and they went forward. After a while of walking Fin/ heard in his head
Why do you carry on?
To save everyone Finn thought
You don't know who or what I am. I could be really strong
Or weak Finn added
If you stop here I will give you ultimate power and anything you want
You're scared aren't you?
What?
You know you're going to die so you're trying to stop me from advancing
No!
Yes you are. Now get the hell outta my brain and maybe I'll give you a quick death.
There was silence good Finn thought and that silence was broken by the sound of a large roar and hard footsteps coming towards them.
"Oh crap," Link said and took out his sword and shield. Finn did the same. The monster that came before them was huge, brown scales all over its body, two massive wings on back it was hard to believe this thing could stay in a small corridor. Finn tried teleporting but it didn't work. So did Link. Same outcome. It shot out a big fireball and they both just managed to dodge it. Link ran up to it, jumped but it turned and tail swiped him back on the ground. Hard. Finn ducked underneath its legs and slashed upwards. He only got a scratch, its scales were solid. He was at the back now and called to Link,"It's skin is too hard we need to go now!Go underneath!"
Link went underneath and they both ran, through the dark corridor.
When they thought they were far enough away they came up to two doors. Next to those doors was a sign that read:
Through the dark maze?Or through the lava pit? Your decision. "Well the maze will definitely have traps and monsters in there," Link said.
"Yeah, but the lava pit may be safer," Finn replied.
"How?" Link questioned.
"Well its probably just a pool of lava and we could probably get by it anyways," Finn answered.
"The monster could get lost in the maze," Link suggested, shrugging his shoulders.
"It could also catch up to us," Finn said.
"Lets just go through the maze because we don't know what the lava pit is like and the maze we know is a maze and we have it on our map," Link replied.
"Okay," Finn said and pulled out the map, Link gave him the torch and they started looking for the maze. It wasn't there.
"Its not there," Link said.
"I know, damned Drake giving us some false map," Finn replied.
"We'll have to navigate," Link said. Finn nodded and they went through the maze door. They walked up to a place that only went right, so they went right. Then they came to a place with a long jump. If they fell well, who knows? They tried teleporting and that didn't work and they tried looking for a place to go through another way. That didn't work either. Link got a run, jumped and just grabbed hold of the edge then pulled himself up. Finn did the same but with Link's help.
Together, they navigated through the tunnel. Turning left and right until they were blocked by a giant spider on a web.
"Wow that is one ugly spider," said Finn and as if in response it hissed.
"Lets try not to make it angry," Link said "I have a feeling that I know how to kill this thing"
"Link you've never-" Finn started to say and then CLANG
"This thing is made of steel!" said Link a bit annoyed.
"Well all of the monsters have gotten stronger you know,"
"Yeah I know" Link said and pondered for a bit and asked,"Finn do you still have your bombs?"
"Yeah why?"
"Drop two underneath the spider,"
"Okay then," Finn said as he was putting the bomb down. They waited about five seconds then BOOM the spider didn't die but the web was gone, which revealed the exit to the maze. Link and Finn ran through and looked at the map.
"Hmm the maze was longer than I thought," Finn said "All we have to do now is walk forward"
"See? The lava pit would've been longer," Link replied
"You're right but lets go," Finn said and the both of them ran down the corridor and saw the Sacred Sword in a stone.
Link went up to it, put both hands on it and had flashbacks of the time of when he pulled out the Master Sword. Except this time it didn't work.
Finn went over and pulled it out successfully and when he did they were both teleported back into Hyrule Field.
"Its okay Link. You just need my strength thats all," Finn said.
"Yeah like you have any," Link retorted.
Chapter 5: Birds Stone by MadSkillz
In Hyrule Castle, Drake had a pleased look on his face.
"Ah yes, good job boys," Drake said, grinning now.
"So aren't you going to merge the Mako Orb and Sacred Sword together?" Finn asked.
"Yes I am," he said "One moment please"
Drake left the room to go through a door that neither Link or Finn remembered seeing there before. After a while, Drake emerged from the room.
"Well the fusing takes some time, so tommorrow you go to the Carnival of Time in Termina," Drake said.
"Why?" Finn asked.
"Well now, thats where you'll find the Bird Stone. Its Kafei's, the new mayor after his father's rather...tragic death,"
"Sounds fun," Link replied with a grin on his face.
"I can't provide transport for you so just break into Zelda's carriage,"
"Isn't it well guarded?" Link asked.
"No...not really. You'll be surprised how easy it is. Theres only two guards,"
"Really?" Finn asked surprised.
"Yes and if you can get the princess to go with you it would get Kafei to trust you more," Drake said and he gave Link a rope "Here take this. You'll need it"
"Okay," Finn said, raising an eyebrow and with that they left the room.

The next day they saw Zelda's carriage parked in the Town Square. The two guards were stationed at the front. Drake was right. Bad security. Link and Finn practically walked up to the carriage but a guard asked,"What are you doing there?"
"Nothing," Both Link and Finn said in unison.
"Oh okay...continue," he said. Link looked at Finn and he shrugged. They entered the carriage. They both sat near the entrance, Finn had the rope. The door opened and before Zelda could say anything, Link pulled her in and Finn gagged her.

The carriage ride was slow and boring. The princess tried to scream but they were all muffled. Eventually, she pouted and Finn had an idea because at this rate the princess would just call the stupid guards to arrest them.
He moved to Link and whispered in his ear,"Threaten Zelda, put your sword to her throat tell her that we'll kill her if she doesn't do as we say"
Link nodded. In a really good english accent he said,"Well princess it seems we've got a...predicament," All he got was a muffled sound from her. "In case you're wondering what we're gonna do to you...we'll kill you if you don't do as we say understand?" Link said. He drew his sword so the tip of it touched her neck. She nodded slowly.
The carriage stopped.
"Good. Now tell your guards not to follow you," Link said returning to his normal voice. Finn took off the rope as Zelda got out of the carriage.
"Guards," she called.
"Yes princess?"
"Do not follow me,"
"Yes ma'am,"
Finn looked at Link and shrugged, he then got out and grabbed Zelda's arm, pulling her into an alleyway.
"Let me go!" she cried
"Not yet princess. We're not done. Take us to the Mayor's office, look normal as if you were there to see him," Finn said in a menacing tone. Zelda nodded and strode off, with Link and Finn behind her. It didn't take long to get to the office and before they got to the doors, Zelda stopped.
"What are you doing?" Link asked. She took a deep breath, opened her mouth when suddenly she felt Finn's sword on her neck."Don't start getting brave princess"
Finn sheathed his sword and pushed open the doors. Everybody turned to look at them. The man at the desk assumed to be Mayor Kafei was the first one to speak,"Princess?"
"Yes?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Well-"
"We came for that stone," Finn interrupted, pointing to a stone that looked incredibly like a birds head. Kafei laughed.
"My Father gave that to me before I died! Why would I give it to you?" he asked grinning.
"Because its part of our quest," Link countered.
"Quest? What qu-" Zelda started.
"Leave us. Finn stay with the princess," Link ordered and Finn and Zelda both left the room.
Whilst Link was explaining, outside Finn and Zelda were waiting.
"Why do this?"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. Why are you doing this to me!?"
"Its the only way to carry on our quest,"
"Oh so one part was to kidnap the princess?"
"Like I said its the only way to continue our quest. Besides if we let you go we'll get arrested,"
"Yes. You will,"
"Don't worry we'll let you go. I'm sure we'll get a crazy hard sub-quest to do,"
The doors opened and Link said,"To Ikana Canyon. Buh-bye princess"
"You're letting me go?" she asked shocked.
"Oh you do not want to go?"
"No I do! Bye!" Zelda said as she darted off.

Ikana Canyon was deserted until some skeletons showed up and so basically the whole night they fought until the morning. In which they slept. At night Finn asked,"So we keep this up for 2 more days?"
"Yep pretty much,"
After two days of fighting, they came back from Ikana Canyon and went to Kafei's office.
"So you really are heroes. Well I guess I could give it to you," Kafei said and gave them the Bird Stone.

When they came out they found that they were surrounded by guards.
"You are under arrest for kidnapping the princess!"
"It wasn't us," Link shot back.
"Really?"
"It was them!" a familiar girl's voice said.
"It was worth a shot," Link said.

Back at the castle they thrown into the dungeon. Zelda came to their cell, looked at them and walked away.
Later, Drake came with a smirk on his face. "Prisoned now are we?"
"You got us in here!" Finn shouted.
"I'll get you out of here. Don't worry," he said and walked away.

A week later some guards came and opened their cell.
"You can go boys," said the guard.
The boys got up and dusted off their clothes. They walked out of their jail cell into the main hall where Princess Zelda was just coming down from the stairs that go from it, so Link and Finn made a run for it to Drake's room.
Chapter 6: Mad Bow by MadSkillz

"Dude, what the hell took you so long!?" Finn shouted. "Hey, it wasn't easy the Princess was really stubborn so I had to put her under a spell," Drake replied, nonchalantly.
"You put the Princess under a spell?" Link asked, astounded.
"You really didn't pay attention to my room did you?" Drake said and rolled his eyes. He sipped a cup of his tea on the table next to his armchair. "So am I going to tell you where to go to get the Mad Bow from MadSkillz or not?"
"Yeah...okay," both Link and Finn said in unison.
"Wait, one second," Drake said and rushed into that room he went into last week before their quest. He emerged from the room holding a majestic looking sword in the air. It was red and shaped like a katana. "This is Light Bringer. It eradicates all darkness and if you call upon its light powers it can dispell any darkness in your path"
"Wow..." Finn said and stared in the glory of the sword. Drake saw this and smirked,"Its also Finn's" "Cool thanks!" Finn exclaimed. "This time you will going to the Ancient land of Tristogan where MadSkillz was last seen," Drake said.
"But I thought he was dead," Link said.
"To be honest, nobody knows why he's still alive," Drake paused, looking deep in thought "Anyways, I prepared a boat for you. You'll know you'll be getting closer to Tristogan when the seas become a bit wilder"
Drake went out of the room and gestured for Link and Finn to follow. They followed Drake down some confusing paths, causing Finn losing track of how they got there. They eventually got to the back of the castle where there was a huge sea there and a hill going down to some docks. Drake led them to a large boat that was painted black and had a snake's head for a masthead.
"This is Majestic Beauty"[A/N:Sorry, I know theres not much imagination in that name]Drake exclaimed "My own personal ship"
"Your sailing us there?" Finn asked.
"Yup" he replied.
"Nice,"
Drake called out to the sailing crew and a long ladder was sent down. Finn went up first, followed by Link, who was followed by Drake. The deck literally had loads of crew members walking around the deck it was unbelievable.
"I've already had your rooms done for you. Lucy here will escort you to your rooms," Drake said and called out and a woman who had black and green clothing came to Finn and Link, gesturing for them to follow. They went down some stairs a few times and through some corridors. They came to, what appeared to be their living quarters. They passed by a room where there was a lot of girlish giggling and man yelled to back away. Lucy opened the door and Finn saw that there was a man, whose wrists and ankles were, strapped to the bed posts with rope and there were 4 girls putting on lipstick on lips. The man yelled,"Why every single time?!" Lucy just told the girls to stop, though they didn't and she closed the door. Surely enough, you could her kissing noises and an "AAAAAH!" coming from the room 5 minutes after. The funny thing was, that Finn and Links' room was right next to that room. There were two beds in the room and as Drake said there was equipment and clothes in the room.
"This is your room where you shall sleep," Lucy said, closed the door and the boys were left in their room. The walls were thin so you could still hear the people in the other room.
"Well, well, this is quite a room..." Finn said, looking around at everything.
"You haven't slept in any grander places, Finn," Link retorted.
"Yeah well I've been to Hyrule Castle," Finn replied.
"Fair enough...goodnight"
"Goodnight,"
Finn got in bed and was immediatley out. He didn't have weird dreams usually but thats what happened. He was watching some guy sitting on a rock in front of a big boulder that stood in front of a cave entrance. There seemed to be some writing on the boulder, but since Finn was too far away he couldn't read it. A strange quiet noise came from it and the man rolled his eyes and told the thing to shut up. Then, he turned around and winked at Finn. After this he woke up and he was in his cabin as usual but if you looked outside there was dock, an old dock and there seemed to be a purple mist around.
'What the hell is on going on here?' Finn thought.'How long was I out?'
He got out of bed and left the room. He went up to the sky deck and nobody was there so he left the ship. He saw a load of people-including Link-about to enter the mist.
"HEY! WAIT UP!" he shouted and sprinted off to join them.
***
They were hidden. All of them, watching this man and the large boulder with writing engraved on it.
Just like my dream...Finn thought.
"Something familiar about all this, Finn?" Drake said whilst looking at the man.
"N-no not at all," Finn stammered.
Drake glanced at him."Alright, let me tell you something. You see that man there? Yeah, he's your Father. Arthur Finn Jackson" "No way you're lieing. He only has the same colour hair(brown) and eyes(green) as me and he seems to know we're here,"
"MadSkillz or your father here was supposed to have had a child that got sent to a place where youth is eternal because something happened to seperate them both,"
Finn ran out of his hiding space and almost ran into the man who suddenly had a grand looking bow, hitched with an arrow, pointed at his face.
"Dad?" Finn whispered. The man almost lowered his bow but kept it back up aimed at his forehead. "My son was taken away from me by the goddesses to, um, Kokiri Forest, I tried to go there to retrieve my son but I was never allowed access in"
"I come from Kokiri Forest but I'm Hylian," Finnn replied. The man lowered his bow. "So then it is you? Finn, my son?"
"Yes it is!"
"Then this is yours," He said and gave him the bow he had. "I'll te-"
"Such a touching family renunion" Drake said who now was a standing on top of the boulder.
"Drake! I should've killed you a long time ago!" MadSkillz shouted.
"Ah, but you didn't did you? Now you regret it,"
"Finn-!"
But Finn didn't need to be told. He already had the bow and arrow aimed at Drake. Drake started speaking in a different language. Finn shot the arrow. It cut all the way across his cheek but didn't stop him. The boulder shone brightly and disappeared.
"YOU FOOL! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE!?" Arthur a.k.a MadSkillz shouted angrily.
"Yes I do, now if you don't mind I'll be on my way," Drake said and there was a loud roar which stopped abruptly and Drake dissappeared.
Chapter 7: The Beginning by MadSkillz
Arthur sat there. Contemplating what had just happened. Finn wondered what would've happened if he had killed Drake. Link came out of his hiding place and something bothered him.
"So Drake was actually evil? And what was that thing?" Link asked.
"Yes Drake is evil, there was a time when I could've killed him but he got away and stole my ship Majestic Beauty and that thing was Drazo, Lord of all Evil, now heres some good news Drazo is in his weakest form ever but the bad news is you still can't harm him," Arthur answered.
"Why not?" Finn asked.
"Because they are not fully powered yet. You need to go to the realms they were created in to do it. I explain later when me and Finn are off on our quest,"
"You and Finn?" Link asked bewildered.
"Yes, you must go on your own quest, which aid in defeating Drazo. For now we must say farewell and remember Link and Finn. This is just the beginning," Arthur answered and they left that area. Link went.looking for civilisation.
"Hey Dad," Finn said.
"Yes son?"
"Majestic Beauty is the ship we came in,"
"Drake that son of a-"
