Mudora’s Story

****

Prologue

****

The Book of Mudora is known widely throughout the land of Hyrule as the most accurate source of history. A complete compilation of everything that ever occurred in Hyrule and its surrounding lands. It is continually adding to itself, as if its author were still there. There is much mystery surrounding the Book of Mudora. Nothing is known about its origins. Wise men have poured over it, trying to find some glimpse of its history, but to no avail. It is mysterious as the one who began it.

Mudora may have been a god. He may have been of an unknown race that lived before the time of Hyrule. It is even possible that Mudora never existed, just a fantasy cooked up by an impostor or a guise created by the goddesses. It will never be known to the peoples of Hyrule. All that is left of this ancient, mysterious creature is the legacy he left behind in the form of a book.

There is one particular story in the Book of Mudora that is most widely renown. It is called "The Legend of Zelda". This story is a novelty among the people of Hyrule. The Legend of Zelda tells of the great battles and struggles of the great heroes of old when evil reigned over Hyrule. It also tells of the great Golden Ages of Hyrule, when all evil was gone and the Legendary Triforce was used in the name of Peace.

There is one thing about the Book of Mudora, and The Legend of Zelda in particular that has been missed throughout the ages. This book has been considered just a history book for a long time. In reality, the Book of Mudora is not just a textbook, it is a story. Contained in this book are the thoughts, feelings and emotions of the great heroes and villains of old. They are bound to this book in such a way, that they have been dismissed as foolish ideas by many. But they have finally been realized. This, Mudora’s Story, is the real story of Hyrule. This is the Book of Mudora the way Mudora meant it to be!

The Creation of Hyrule

****

Din looked down at the desolate planet beneath her. What a boring place! she thought. She noticed one of her sisters, Farore, come up beside her.

"Whatcha thinkin’, Din?" Farore was always so informal. Just a little to casual sometimes, but she was still great to have around. Din glanced at her. Farore had bright, pretty green eyes that shone, especially when she was doing her work. She was beginning to get that shining right then.

"You know what I’m thinking," Din answered.

"Yup! And I’m liking the idea!"

Din’s other sister, Nayru, came up from behind, chuckling.

"As if I didn’t know what you two were talking about already!" she said with a smile.

"Oh, please, Nayru, can we make this world? Please?" Farore gave her the biggest puppy dog eyes. With her pouting lower lip, Nayru couldn’t help but laugh.

"Oh, well, I don’t see why not!" she said.

Din looked down at the solitary planet again. "I say we make this one special."

Her two sisters looked at her. "Huh?" was the reply in unison.

"Well, most of the others have been very much the same. I think we should make this one different. It can be our special place!"

Nayru glanced down at the planet. "That’s not too bad of an idea."

"Of course it’s not! Din’s always full of good ideas!" Farore exclaimed.

Din grinned. "Watch this!" she yelled as she flew down towards the order-less ground. She stopped just before she reached the ground and looked around at the flat land. "Lesse here, what can we do here…Ah! I know!" She began to fly around the planet, laughing, as she shaped the land. Canyons, cliffs, mountains valleys, hills and flatlands! Din stopped to look at her work. It was perfect! She grinned again, and flew back up to her sisters. Of course, she got the usual response from Farore.

"Wow, Din! That was soooo cool! That was awsome! Woohoo!" Din just smiled at her. Then she looked at Nayru.

"Good job Din, but now it’s my turn! Hehehehehe!" she giggled as she followed the path of her sister down to the planet. Nayru landed gracefully on the top of a small mountain created lovingly by her sister, Din. She looked up into the sky, only to see dark storm clouds. "I know what this place needs." She raised her hands up, and blue light came from them. The blue light pulsated around her as it and she slowly rose toward the sky. Then there was a flash of light. Nayru looked up again, seeing a beautiful blue sky with a sun shining. "Much better." She floated back up to her sisters. "Well?"

"Nice!" came Farore’s approval. Din nodded.

"Well, I get do go now!" Farore was excited. This was her favorite part of creating a world. "Woohoo!" she shouted as she rocketed down through the newly formed sky. "This place is still boring, but I’ll fix that!" She sat cross-legged on the ground where her sister stood. She closed her eyes, and green began to come out from where she was sitting. All kinds of plants were forming around her. She also created animals of all kinds. Then she stood up. She liked what she saw there. But there’s something missing… Then she knew what it was. She put her hands in front of her, palms up. Then 5 image appeared around her. A man with pointed ears to rule over all. A creature with scales and fins to rule the water. A being of rock to rule the mountains. A small child to live in the forest. And finally, a woman with rounded ears, destined to live in the desert. "They’re perfect," she whispered. She quickly flew up to her sisters. "Ok girls, I’m gonna need your help on this one." Din and Nayru smiled; they knew what to do. All three joined hands and closed their eyes. A purple glow surrounded them as they concentrated. All three floated down to the world below, and as they landed, the images disappeared. Farore opened her eyes quickly.

"Yay! This is so cool!" she shouted. Nayru grinned.

"Indeed it is," she said.

"Well, ladies we should be going now, don’t you think?" Din said. All three nodded and lifted off the ground. Then Farore stopped.

"Hey, guys? We need to give this place a name!" she shouted after Din and Nayru. They stopped and looked at her. Din scratched her head thoughtfully.

"How about…Hyrule?" she asked. Nayru smiled again.

"It’s the perfect name…for the perfect world," she said. And with that, all three left.

And that was how the world began.
