Ageless Guardian of Hyrule

Chapter 1

Darkness was all he dreamed of as he slept soundly until he could hear echoes of a voice speak in his head. "…ake up…ust wake up…ou must wake up…Naruto you must wake up" an angelic voice echoed through his head as the image of a blonde haired beauty flashed in his head for a brief moment before it went away and his eyes slowly started to open.

As he blinked a few times he found himself incredibly disoriented from the blue light below and above him as well as the fact he was laying down in a very shallow almost tub of water. He blinked a few more times, working to stay awake as the water in the tub descended until it was fully drained.

"My head…is killing me. Where am I?" he asked out loud as he sat up and looked around, utterly confused at where he was. The only thing he could remember was his name of Naruto Uzumaki and as he looked down at a nearby puddle he was able to see how he looked.

He had spikey blonde hair that spiked out in every direction, despite it being wet, with two spikey bangs framing his face. His skin was tanned and his muscles were toned like that of a swimmer. His eyes were a sapphire blue color and he had three whisker marks on each of his cheeks. And, embarrassingly enough, he was only wearing a pair of rather form fitting black boxers and nothing else.

The place he found himself in wasn't bringing anything back to him. It was an odd room with constellations on the walls and glowing blue vines on the ceiling that attached to the light that was above the tub he had been lying in.

The only thing else in the room, as he looked around, was a pedestal near the only door of the room which was closed. 'Guess I should try and leave first and see what is outside this room first, maybe try and find someone who knows me or can tell me why I am here' Naruto thought as he walked up to the pedestal, watching as the top of it started to glow blue and the center part of it started to rotate until a slab, no bigger than his laid flat hand, popped up. The slab rotated until the glowing blue design on an eye looked at him with orange glowing markings around it.

"That is a Sheikah Slate. Take it. It will help guide you after your long slumber" the same angelic voice that had been calling out for him to spoke in his mind. He felt like he knew the voice, like it was the voice of someone dear to him but, much to his annoyance, he couldn't recall so he chose to listen to it at least before grabbing the slate from the pedestal.

He looked it over a bit before turning to the side opposite of the glowing eye until the black sleek side lit up and a blue design appeared over it and the pedestal started to rotate and lower down, opening the door in front of him.

'Okay, good, the door opened. Let's see what is outside this poorly lit room' Naruto thought, holding the slate in his hand before walking through the door to see another poorly lit room. This room though had more things in it like some large wooden boxes, some barrels, and even two chests in front of the ramp that led towards the closed door.

'Hopefully these have some clothes or something in here cause I sure am not going to leave here wearing these boxers' he thought, quickly opening the first one which, to his relief, had a pair of brown pants, belt, boots, and a white long sleeved t-shirt inside.

The clothes were worn but in good condition as he put them on, sticking the slate onto the belt which conveniently had something on it to securely hold onto it.

As he opened the other chest he found a satchel bag to hook onto the back of his belt which he was sure would come in handy.

Once making sure there was nothing else important in the room he made his way down the ramp only to notice the pedestal to the right of the door lit up and started glowing orange. 'Hold the Sheikah Slate up to the pedestal. That will show you the way' the same voice spoke in his head before he trusted it and held the slate over the pedestal, watching as it and the door started to glow blue.

He watched as he waited a second before a chime dinged and the door started to open and the light of outside started to shine into the room.

'Naruto…you are the light - our light - that must shine upon Hyrule and the world once again. Now go…' she said before her voice faded from his head again and he started to make his way up the stairs leading to the outside.

He was a bit excited to get out of this place and see the outside as he rushed up the stairs, only having to climb a bit to get past a part where the stairs had been destroyed, until he reached the outside.

Once outside he rushed forward, continuing until he reached the edge of the cliff outside where he had been kept in, and was immediately in awe at the land before him. From his vantage point he could see a volcano, various mountains, and a forests that stretched across the landscape. Deep down though he felt this was only a small part of the massive lands before him.

'This place is beautiful' he thought with a smile as he turned to his right to see the ruins of an old building and a nearby fire before making out the figure of a person walking back towards it. 'Wait, he could maybe tell me where I am and help me a bit' he thought before he rushed down the pathway towards the man and his fire.

As he made his way to the fire the man looked at him with a smile. The man was old with dull brown skin a white scruffy beard and bright green eyes. He wore dull brown clothing and a dull brown cloak to cover the upper portion of his face. In his hand he held a cane that had a lantern hanging from the handle.

"My, it sure isn't every day that I see visitors up near these parts. What brings you here?" the man asked as Naruto frowned.

"Honestly I don't know as I don't remember anything except my name. I woke up in a nearby cave thing with no memories beside my name. I was hoping you could tell me where I am or what that cave up there was" Naruto said, motioning towards the direction of the cave he came from.

"Oh my, that is quite something. The place you woke from is a shrine from what I've heard of from others but I thought it was empty. It is quite sad to hear you do not remember much about yourself, please feel free to sit by my fire and enjoy a baked apple since you are probably starving" the old man said as Naruto nodded and sat down as he was hungry and honestly the man seemed fine and gave off a kind aura.

"Thank you….I never got your name. My name is Naruto" he said before the old man smiled and waved it off.

"Don't worry my boy and you may just call me old man as that is what I am" the man said as Naruto picked up one of the apples with a nearby stick and started to nibble on it.

"Where exactly are we anyways?" Naruto asked in between finishing up bites of the sweet apple.

"We are on the Great Plateau. According to legend this is birthplace of the entire kingdom of Hyrule" he said before pointing over behind him with his right hand to the ruins of the nearby building. "That temple there was the site of many sacred ceremonies long ago. Ever since the decline of the kingdom 100 years ago it has sat abandoned in a state of decay" the man said with a sigh. "If I were you I'd find some kind of map, there is an old place nearby that might help but you'll need to use the Sheikah Slate on your hip to get it running" he added as Naruto pulled it off his hip.

"Ah so this is some sort of map thing? It was in the cave with me and when I touched it it lit up, like this" Naruto explained as he made the front side light up again only for a golden dot to appear on the front as well.

"Yes the Sheikah Slate is an ancient piece of technology and very useful so I'd keep ahold of that. It can survive any environment so don't worry about getting it wet. I'd start with going towards that new point that showed up" he said before Naruto finished off the apple.

"Okay then, I guess I'll check it out and see what's what" Naruto said as he stood up before the man stopped him with his cane.

"At least take my torch if you plan to look around since it can be used as a makeshift weapon if needed as there are monsters in these parts. And take a few more apples in case you get hungry later on" the old man quickly told him before motioning to the bag hanging behind him.

"Also as a word of advice that bag can hold much more than it seems so don't be afraid to drop things in there and your Sheikah Slate should be able to tell you what all is inside it" he added making Naruto raise an eyebrow at him.

"You know an awfully lot about the stuff I have" Naruto said, making the man laugh as he shrugged his shoulders.

"I am a connoisseur of old Sheikah technology as my family has been friends with them for many generations so I know Sheikah tech when I see it. If it was left for you in your cave then it must have been left by someone who knows you in hopes that it would help" the man said while Naruto nodded.

"I guess so, thanks for the advice. I'll try and come back after I check this dot out" Naruto said as he slipped two baked apples into his bag, raising an eyebrow as his slate chimed twice before he secured the torch to his left side – opposite to the slate which dinged again.

"Be safe and wary of monsters out there. I look forward to your safe return" he said before Naruto nodded and continued on down the path towards the direction of the gold dot.

He though found himself a little curious of the ruins around and figured exploring wouldn't be too bad since all he had on him was a torch and two apples. As he made his way down he was a bit taken in by the scenery. He continued to look around before he could hear the odd noises of something from within one of the building ruins and quickly took the torch from his belt and swung it to strike away something that tried to pounce at him from the doorway of a nearby building.

Quickly he figured it was a monster, one of which the old man had warned him about as it definitely looked like one. It had two large ears on either side of its face, its skin a dark red with a pig nose on its face and a singular horn on top of its head. It wore a simple loincloth as it wielded a club in its hand.

Not wasting any more time he quickly dashed towards it, using the torch as a club to knock its own club out of its hand before catching its club and swinging it at its face. He stayed on guard even after it landed from its slight flight he sent it on before he quickly threw its club back at it and knocking it down again and shattering the club.

He was relieved as it seemed to dissolve into smoke, leaving behind its club and oddly its horn as well. 'Guess these little guys aren't too tough' Naruto thought as he picked up the club and horn, looking at his slate as he pocketed it to see an entry about monster parts and how if mixed together with bugs they could create elixirs.

'I really need to find actual weapons to fight these things as I think wooden clubs and torches won't suffice' Naruto thought as he walked into the ruins that the Bokoblin, the name he had gotten from the slate, had jumped at him from.

It honestly didn't have much in it until he noticed the singular chest in the back of the building, opening it to reveal another pair of pants, boots, and a sheathed sword inside. The pants were better than his current ones, being sturdier and less worn – as were the boots – and the sword was very welcomed with his current lack of weapons. He also noticed a few extra belts that almost made up a harness of sorts that he figured he might be able to use to secure more weapons onto him if he needed it.

For now though he put the belts in his bag and focused on the weapon in front of him.

His slate, as he put the torch in his bag and the sword on his hip, chimed and lit up to alert him the sword he picked up was called a 'Traveler's Sword'. 'Dang, this thing is going to be really handy if it's going to tell me about everything I pick up' Naruto thought as he was very glad it was waiting for him in the cave.

He chose to, now that he had a weapon, head towards the point marked on the slate. As he walked he noticed some monsters in the distance but they seemed to not notice him, making him think their eyesight wasn't too good.

Thankfully while he remembered nothing about himself his instincts were still strong enough to allow him to jump back in time to dodge an arrow fired by a blue Bokoblin that stood on a nearby hill. 'Hmm, a bow could be useful' Naruto thought as he dashed towards the Bokoblin, drawing his sword to cut down an arrow before jumping at it and slashing it across its face.

The monster's hide was a bit thicker than he thought it would be but the slash still made it squeal a bit before Naruto stabbed it in the chest while it was down, dissolving it into shadows. Thankfully it left its bow and a bundle of arrows in a quiver behind along with its horn and one of its fangs.

He decided the belts could come in handy, using them to easily and comfortably secure the bow and quiver to his back although the bow didn't stay there long as he could see another blue Bokoblin waiting for him ahead. Silently notching back an arrow he drew it back, hoping he had some skill with a bow that his body could remember since his mind could not. As he took aim he hoped it flew to it Bokoblin's head like he was hoping and, to his hopes were met as the arrow flew straight and killed the beast upon impact.

'Let's hope that wasn't a lucky shot, when I get some time I have got to practice a bit with a better bow' Naruto thought as the very basic bow he had might do the job now he would need a better one on the journey ahead of him.

As he walked over he smiled a bit at the dropped arrows and shoddy looking shield but, like the bow, it would do for now and he secured it to his back over the bow. He continued on towards the point to find another pedestal that matched the ones from the first cave.

"Place the Sheikah Slate in the pedestal" a mechanical voice said from the pedestal before Naruto rose an eyebrow at it but did as it asked, watching as the slate went into the platform before glowing brightly.

"Tower activated. Please watch for falling rocks" the voice warned as the ground around him started to shake until the place he was on rose up, revealing it was a very tall tower that lit up blue once at full height.

He watched curiously as the stone above the slate started to glow blue. "Distilling local information" the voice said as a single drop fell from the stone above and onto the slate. He continued to watch as a small bit of the blank map gained color and great detail.

'So I guess I need to find more of these places to fill out the rest' Naruto thought to himself as he took the slate from the pedestal.

'Remember…' the female voice spoke once more in his head, her voice sounding desperate and sad. 'Try…Try to remember' she said as he looked over to the castle in the distance, noticing a bright white light that called to him and brought him to stand on the edge of the tower just to be closer to it.

'You have been asleep for the past 100 years. The beast…' she said as the ground shook and dark shadows rose around the castle he stared at 'When the beast regains its true power this world will face its end' she added as he watched the shadows form into the visage of a pig or boar of sorts before it roared and caused the ground to shake once more. Its mouth was massive as its jaw unhinged to roar again, its eyes glowing yellow although Naruto felt like it was trapped and taunting him to come face it.

'Now then. You must hurry Naruto before it's too late…' she said before he felt the voice leave from his head.

'Don't worry, I'll do my best to not keep you waiting too much longer' he said as a part of him wanted to rush towards the light in the castle, what he felt was the source of the voice. But he wasn't just yet as he knew from the image of the beast he had to be ready.

He frowned a bit as he looked down, curious of how he was to get down from the tower until he saw a ladder of sorts that was the grating of the spire itself. As he made it down to the first platform he noticed how they were almost like steps spiraling around it before he hoped down them one at a time until he finally made it to the bottom.

"Boy!" a familiar voice called out as Naruto turned to see the old man from the campfire gliding down towards him, hanging from something that allowed him to safely descend down towards him.

"It seems like you awoke the tower here and made it so others rose up numerous around the land as well. If you don't mind me asking did anything odd occur while atop that tower? I only ask because I too heard a roar of a fearsome beast in the distance" the old man said as Naruto frowned but nodded.

"Yeah…I heard a voice. Well heard a voice again, the same voice" Naruto said as he stared back at the light. "This voice has been talking to me ever since I woke up, helping me get on my feet a bit and I think it's the voice of someone I know and it told me to remember so I can defeat the beast" he added as the old man frowned and stroked his beard.

"That vile beast is Calamity Ganon that rose 100 years ago and brought Hyrule to ruin. It appeared suddenly and destroyed everything until a sole man drove it back to the castle he and the others had evacuated but not before it slayed innocent lives in it rampage" the man said with a deep frown as he clutched his cane tightly.

"For a century the Hyrule Castle has managed to contain the evil but just barely. Its malice still leaks through corrupting all that dares get too close and even strengthens the monsters nearby. It has no doubt been building strength and waiting for the right moment to unleash it blight upon the land again. If this voice asked you to stop it does that mean you intend to make your way there?" he asked as Naruto nodded.

"Yes. I don't know why but just looking at that makes me angry. I intend to end it and on the way there gather strength of my own and remember like the voice asked of me" Naruto said, making the man smirk and nod understandingly.

"If that is the case then you will need help getting off this isolated plateau since we are surrounded on all sides by steep cliffs with no way down. Any attempt to leap off ends in certain death" the man said before Naruto frowned and looked at him.

"You don't happen to have an extra one of those things you used to glide down, do you?" Naruto asked, the shaking of the old man's head making things difficult.

"I do not have a spare paraglider but I am willing to let it go for something in return" the man said, lifting Naruto's hopes a bit as he didn't like the idea of being trapped here too much, despite the old man being his company.

"Come follow me for a second so I may show you something" the man said, motioning for him to follow before they made their way to the edge of the hill the stood on. "You see that structure over there? The one shining?" the man asked as Naruto nodded.

"Yeah the orange one? I'm guessing here but it's linked to my slate or the tower isn't it?" he asked before the man nodded with a chuckle.

"Very wise observation there as it rose up and started glowing the exact moment the towers rose up. I figure that place might have some treasure in it, worthy of a trade for my paraglider since it is the only way down" the man said as Naruto nodded.

"Sure thing, sounds fair. I'll meet you back here once I have it?" he asked as the man nodded and watched as Naruto walked off towards it only to stop midway there as he noticed a camp of monsters nearby.

'Guess this can count as bow practice' Naruto thought as he snuck up and crouched behind the nearby cover of two large wooden boxes and pulled his bow off his back. 'Four red Bokoblins, one on an archer tower and three around the fire. Got to be fast with these' Naruto thought as he notched an arrow and drew it back, deciding to aim for the one on the tower first as it too had a bow.

He took things slow, carefully taking aim towards the first as more arrows waited ready for the others at his side, before letting the arrow fly. He smiled again as it hit its head and killed it instantly but erased the smile as the other monsters noticed their 'friend's' death.

The next shots didn't require that much focus as they were rushing him and much closer. They only took four shots to kill the three others, two dead with shots to the head and the last dead by two shots to the chest.

'That went better than I thought it was going to be' Naruto thought as that was his first monster camp before he heard a click and looked over to see the treasure chest on the other archer tower turn from glowing purple to glowing yellow.

'Was it locked or something until I killed them all? Can that even be a thing?' he asked himself as he was unsure since if there were monsters around he figured there might be more magical things in the world.

Once he made his way up to the tower he bent down to open the chest before he saw there was a bow, a much better bow, inside it. As he picked it up, discarding the one he had, he saw his slate tell him it was a 'Soldier's Bow'.

'Okay this definitely better for now' he thought as he set it onto his back and hopped down from the archer tower.

As he looked at the body of water separating him from the shrine he decided to, instead of swimming or walking all the way around, climb a bit and use the wall that acted as the cliff blocking him from leaving as a way across.

As he carefully made his way down he noticed another pedestal near the closed shrine and figured his slate would act as the key to many things he came across, especially things that glowed the same shade of orange as 'closed' things had been so far.

He watched the door open and a circle inside to start to glow blue 'Guess it's an elevator or something' Naruto thought as he stood on top of it before his guess turned out to be true as the platform started to lower him down to the inside of the shrine.

The shrine looked amazing, ancient yet advanced as he stepped off elevator. "To you who sets foot in this shrine…I am Oman Au. In the name of the Goddess Hylia, I offer this trial" a deep voice spoke out from everywhere as Naruto shrugged his shoulders and noticed a similar pedestal that back on the tower.

'Guess this is going to give my late something?' he wondered before walking over to it and setting his slate in it.

"Sheikah Slate authenticated. Distilling rune" the pedestal said in the same mechanical voice as the tower before, just as the tower, a drop fell from the now glowing rock and onto the slate. He watched as the slate lit up again and six black boxes showed up on it before the third box turned into the symbol of a red magnet with the word 'Magnesis' above it. "Rune extracted" it spoke before letting him pick back up his slate.

'Hmm, this is going to come in handy a lot I feel' he thought as he tapped the icon only for the slate to launch a golden orb of energy that once it hit one of the metal panels it gained a blue aura around it in the shape of a magnet. He was a bit surprised as he moved the magnet up only to watch the metal panel lift it off the ground and reveal the passageway underneath before he dropped it safely on the ground to the side.

He continued on as he dropped down into the hole before walking on the path that was down there beside the water. As he walked he noticed how it was taking him under grate that blocked his way before he headed up the stairs to see the next 'puzzle'.

It was rather simple as it was four columns of three stone blocks, the middle one of the second column being a metal block. All it took was being magnetized and him moving it around a bit for the blocks to be pushed away and make it able for him to walk onwards.

Though as he made his way past he quickly had to draw his sword and dodge as a machine of sorts fired a beam at him, which was powerful enough to destroy one of the stone blocks. 'Guess the shrine has defenses' he thought as he looked the odd three legged singular eyed machine over before quickly hopping onto the metal block he had used to break the wall and leap off it towards the machine.

The first attack was of him stabbing the sword into the top of its head before slashing at its only eye. He smirked as it started to glow brightly before it blew up, leaving behind some scrap in the form of a screw and a few gears which he decided could come in handy.

As he walked on over a metal platform he stopped at the end, noticing the lack of platform to get him to the door on the other end before using his slate's rune to move it over and allow him to get across.

The gate too was simple to open as a simple use of the rune let him open the huge doors in front of him, revealing what looked like a mummy sitting inside a glowing blue cube with some stairs leading to it.

He felt the cube calling out to be touched as it bore the same symbol as his slate and as he touched it he watched as it shattered harmlessly around him.

"You have proven to possess the resolve of a true hero. I am Oman Au, creator of this trial. I am a humble monk, blessed with the sight of Goddess Hylia and dedicated to helping those who seek to defeat Ganon" the mummy of Oman Au said as Naruto was a bit freaked out by it but stayed where he stood "With your arrival my duty is now fulfilled. In the name of Goddess Hylia, allow me to bestow the gift of a Spirit Orb upon you" it added before a purple orb slowly flew from its hands and landed in his.

"May the Goddess smile upon you" Oman Au said its body faded into green light in front of him.

He easily made his way out of the shrine, spirit orb in hand, before hearing the old man call to him once again the second he stepped out. He waited with a smirk as the old man glided down to him with a smile.

"Ah so it seems you managed to get your hands on a Spirit Orb. Well done" the old man said as Naruto nodded.

"It was pretty interesting down there and while I don't know what you have in mind with this but here you go" Naruto said, holding the orb towards the man before he smiled and accepted it.

"These shrines and towers, as you have noticed, are all connected – all of them being relics of the Sheikah clan. The Sheikah clan has been around since ancient times and has helped save the land many times as well. I believe there are three more shrines on this plateau, bring me the treasure from those as well and my paraglider is yours" the man said making Naruto sigh but nod.

"Figured it was too good to be true just to give you one of these in return" Naruto said as the man laughed.

"I never did say only one treasure and whether it be one or four the difference isn't much. Consider this exercise to stretch your stiff limbs" the man joked making Naruto nod before he held up a hand and pointed towards the tower.

"To help you find the shrines I'd recommend getting a high vantage point, your Sheikah Slate should be able to bring you back to the top of the tower if you wish" the man added before Naruto shrugged his shoulders.

"Sure, lets see if this thing works" Naruto said, pulling out his slate before tapping the blue marker of the tower. The next part felt incredibly odd as he saw himself dissolve into blue light only to appear on top of the tower, which to his surprise, the old man was waiting on top for him.

"Whoa! How the hell did you get up here so fast?" Naruto asked as the old man chuckled.

"I have plenty of tricks up my own sleeve young one, you'll be surprised by how well my brittle bones can get around" the man said before he pointed to the slate on his hip. "You should know that when viewing through your slate's scope you can mark points, comes in handy if say you need to find three places" the man suggested as Naruto nodded, still a bit surprised by how he got up here before him, and pressed a button on his slate that changed the black screen to an image of the landscape.

"Essentially your slate can double as a telescope and help you find your way" the man said as Naruto looked around, eventually finding the three shrines before marking them by pressing the red, blue, and green button that showed up when he looked at them.

"That should make your journey much easier now" the man said while Naruto nodded and put his slate back onto his hip.

"Guess so. I'll come by once I get your three other orbs" Naruto said as he hopped down onto the top step, once again hopping down the spiral staircase around the base of the tower.

'First one should be the one closest' Naruto thought as he made his way to the shrine, defending himself against any monster that tried to attack. It was rather going well until he heard the ticking of a machine and noticed a red line pointed at his chest from machine that was stuck in the ground.

He quickly didn't feel safe and leapt to the side just in time to dodge a laser, one much more powerful than the one he encountered in the last shrine, fired past him leaving a trail of fire on the grass and a powerful explosion once the laser hit the ground.

'Okay definitely don't get hit by that as I don't think my flimsy shield can block that and definitely don't fight as all I have is a simple sword and a bow' Naruto thought as the red line moved back to his chest until he quickly hid behind a nearby wall.

'It can't move and nothing else is nearby except the shrine. If I make a run for it I should be able to scale the wall before it fires' he hurried, thinking up a way out of this before taking a deep breath and taking a run for it.

Thankfully he had been right and was able to make his way up the wall just as the laser blasted, missing him entirely, and found himself in front of the shrine. 'This better be worth it' he grumbled to himself, opening the door with his slate before heading down.

The shrine was like the last, both in overall décor and voice telling him of the trial. It even had another pedestal with a rock above it, making him think these trails had the added benefit of giving his slate new skills which so far seemed true as this one now gave him the ability to create bombs with it.

"Wow, this slate is insane" he muttered as he held a bright glowing blue bomb in his hand, letting it roll down the ramp towards the stone blocks before pressing a button on his slate and watching as it exploded. 'Note to self, don't stand too close' he mentally noted as he made his way down the ramp.

His bombs came in handy twice more in the underpass, once to reveal a chest with a 'Traveler's Claymore' and another to clear the path leading to a ladder to take him out of the underpass.

After a quick use of a bomb on a moving platform to clear the way he found himself in a room with various pistons, one firing an orb back and forth, another just firing, and another pointed towards more stone blocks with a funnel near the side.

'Hmmm, at least it isn't as simple as the last' he thought, placing a round bomb into the funnel, waiting for the piston to launch it on top of the blocks before detonating it. After that was clear he made his way up the ladder to the platform his bomb had just cleared before using another to fully clear it and allow him to make it to the monk of the shrine which in turn gave him another orb.

After completing and leaving the shrine he continued on towards the other two points on his map while exploring a bit.

While he explored a bit he found his new runes were very handy, the magnet rune allowing him to pull chests from below the water below and even held bridge over to platforms he couldn't normally reach with the help of metal planks. He was able to find some new arrows, some precious stones, and even a 'Soldier's Broadsword' to add to his growing collection of weapons.

The other two shrines were fairly easy. One ended up giving him the ability to form ice blocks on top of water – which he himself almost froze to get to considering it was near the top of the mountain but didn't as the old man's torch had come in handy.

Although the old man had ended up giving him a 'Warm Doublet' to protect himself from the cold after meeting up with him at the very top of the snow covered mountain….when he was done in the area.

Though in hindsight he didn't mind as it was better than sticking to the plain white shirt he had up until now.

The last shrine gave him the most surprising of abilities, the power to stop time for an object and add on force to it so if hit while frozen the second they became unfrozen the force would apply to them making them, more often than not, fly away due to it all acting on them at once.

By the end of the shrine he even had a 'Traveler's Shield' and an 'Iron Sledgehammer' to use in battle – although he'd stick to using a sword for now.

Once out of the final shrine he smiled as he heard the familiar face of the old man who, as always, descended from above with his paraglider.

"Ah so you have finally acquired all the Spirit Orbs from the plateau," the man said, handing back the one had given to him before "that means it is finally time. It is finally time to tell you everything" he said with a sigh.

"But first…" he said, turning out towards the plateau "imagine an 'X' on your map with the four shrines as end points. Find the spot where the lines intersect and there is where I will be waiting for you" he said before turning towards him, his body turning a blueish green color with flames floating around him. "We have much to talk about" he added with a smile before disappearing, sending a strong chill down Naruto's spine.

He wasn't sure but he felt like a part of him wasn't too find of ghosts.

Deciding to get this over with he checked his map and found the place the old man hinted towards and turned out to be the building the old man had mentioned when he first met him. The building turned out to be called 'the Temple of Time' and after a bit of looking around he found a ladder on the left side of the building, just beside the massive missing chunk of the wall.

"So you have arrived," the old man said as he stood up inside the slightly destroyed tower near the front of the temple "come on so we can finally talk" he added before motioning for him to come over.

Once he made his way over the old man smiled warmly at him and nodded. "Well done so far my boy but now the time has come to show you who I truly am" the old man said before taking a deep breath.

"My name is King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule and I was….the last leader and king of Hyrule, a kingdom which no longer exists" he said before Naruto had to shield his eyes with a hand as the man started to glow brightly, changing his form to a more regal appearance and was now glowing more with flames flickering around him.

"So you really are a ghost? Have you been waiting here waiting to help me when I eventually woke up or something?" Naruto asked as Rhoam nodded.

"I died during the Great Calamity's attack on the castle. Its attack was merciless and destroyed everything in its path before you arrived to push it back and help others evacuate. You tried your best to help me but sadly I was too far past by the time you did" Rhoam said, making Naruto frown and clench his fists.

"Do not mourn me as you saved many of my people's lives by letting them escape" Rhoam quickly added with a soft smile before it turned to a frown.

"I did not think it wise to overwhelm you while your memory was still fragile so I took the disguise of the old man. Please forgive me" he said before Naruto shook his head.

"Don't worry King, you helped me get back on my feet a bit and figure out how to work this thing," Naruto said motioning to his slate "and learn more of what is going on" he finished, making Rhoam smile a bit and nod.

"I am glad as I think you are now ready to start your quest to reclaim the land from the Great Calamity as well as hear all the happened 100 years ago" Rhoam said as he looked towards Naruto with a serious expression before Naruto nodded, showing Rhoam he was ready.

A Naruto listened he learned how tales of Ganon and his evil have been around for generations, constantly reviving when brought down by the light. How with history tending to repeat it was able to act as a prophecy for them to help ready themselves for the fight ahead.

They had used the hint of 'the power to defeat him being dormant in the ground' to start excavating large areas of land, uncovering several 'Guardians' – the laser spouting machines he had seen before – and the Divine Beasts.

The Divine Beasts were massive machines, all piloted by warriors to help the hero defeat Ganon with the Guardians acting as the army of sorts that the Divine Beast pilots would command.

Divine Beasts and Guardians were to help the princess with a sacred power and her appointed knight, chosen by the sword that seals the darkness to defeat Ganon.

He learned how the Princess had set off to awaken her power with her knight at her side and also selected four skilled individuals from across Hyrule to be the Divine Beast pilots to be called her Champions.

When Ganon had arrived they had been on the brink of sealing it away when Ganon began its plan that it had been waiting to spring. It sprouted corruption, a force able to seize control of all the Guardians and the Divine Beasts which ended turning to his side.

Many lost their lives, the Champions, the villagers around Hyrule, and many in the castle before help had arrived.

But in the end the Princess survived but mainly, according to Rhoam because of Naruto's own sacrifice and devotion. Naruto listened as Rhoam told him how he had fought to protect and drive Ganon back, only faltering as the Divine Beasts attacked him.

It was then, beaten and nearly on death's door, when the Princess had others take him to the shrine which would resurrect him in 100 years as she fought the beast alone, holding it back with her sealing powers – powers that were now starting to wane.

"Zelda….she became more brave than I ever could have thought as she stood strong to hold Ganon back even after you, the knight that had sworn to protect her, had fallen doing your best to ensure she made it back to the castle. For the last 100 years you have been recovering and now you stand revitalized, hearing words of guidance from Princess Zelda herself since awakening" he said, Naruto seeing conviction in the man's watering eyes, before putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Even now she works to restrain him and still calls out for your help. Her power will soon be exhausted and Ganon will run free. Seeing as I couldn't even save my own kingdom I know I have no right to ask this of you Naruto but please, you must save my daughter and do everything you can to defeat Ganon" he said squeezing his shoulder before taking a step back.

"Somehow Ganon has maintained control over all four Divine Beasts as well all the Guardians around Hyrule. I suggest you make your way to an eastern village nearby in wilderness. Follow the road out of Kakariko Village there you will find the elder Impa. There she will tell you more of the path that lies ahead" he said, pointing out towards the land in front of them.

"Take this, just as promised, as it will help you immensely" Rhoam said as he handed Naruto the paraglider.

"Then you take these, I don't know what they are but I don't think I need them. You are a spirit and these are Spirit Orbs. I figure you could use them most" Naruto said as he handed the four orbs to Rhoam, who watched as the hovered around his hand.

"And I promise I will save Zelda…I don't remember who she is but I know he is important and I will kill this evil" Naruto said as he held the folded paraglider in one hand while he stared the King in his eyes, the man smiling as he saw the pure determination and conviction in his eyes.

"I know you will my boy, I wish you luck and may your travels be safe" the King said before Naruto watched as he and the orbs dissipated into blueish green fire.

Naruto could only nod before he put both hands on the paraglider and, with a quick run, leapt off the tower towards the east – his journey officially beginning.

-Chapter End-

Okay so since my schedule is gone (ps. My kidneys aren't in danger! Hooray!) and I can post some of the ideas in my head to get them out so I can focus on other stuff like my other stories I decided to post a Legend of Zelda story that has been in my head for a very long time that Breath of the Wild finally allowed me to make it all fit together and work.

New stories like this will help get me back in the flow of things and working towards updating the other stories. I hope you all understand.

Also the reason Naruto wasn't talking much and more thinking while travelling in this first chapter is because there isn't anyone to talk to really and he isn't going to talk out loud to himself as that is kind of odd.

Another thing is I'm not going to explain and show absolutely everything. Some things will be summarized and some will be shown. I will speed through certain things like the tutorial shrines as well as some travelling if need be (so this story isn't super wordy – although most first chapters of fics always are to set things up for the story)

Now Naruto does have chakra and whatnot but until some of his memories return he doesn't remember his powers. That and his powers are a bit stagnant which I plan to use the actual temples (not the trial ones on the Plateau) for so he has no need for Spirit Orbs. I plan to use 13 temples to get him back to full strength instead of the numerous ones in the game. These temples will be kind of like temples of the old game, full of some puzzles and be more interesting. The first nine will be to unlock the obvious set of nine as well as more of his powers and the last four will be to fully unlock his Six Paths Sage mode and allow him to draw the Master Sword.

I have many ideas and plans for how Naruto influenced Hyrule and whatnot but you all will just have to wait and see

Also the bag is an easy way to make it so Naruto can carry so much stuff like Link was able to in the game

Now in regards to the pairing I have an idea to make it all work and for the Guardians to come back, nothing like Naruto reviving them with Rinnegan but instead something that fits the story well.

I chose Urbosa because I have a thing for tall muscular women and Gerudo are amazing, Mipha because she is very cute and sweet and devoted, Zelda because it's obvious, Paya because she is adorable and shy and cute, Medli because I always thought she was cute (she'll be older looking a bit in this story around mid-teenish), and finally Midna because I've always had a thing for her.

Also in terms of how Twilight Princess and possibly Wind Waker will fit into this after the Breath of the Wild plot is over all I can say is trust me, I have a very fluid idea to make it all work.

I hope you all liked it

Until Next Time
