The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
Hello everyone, as you may have guessed this is a cinematic version of The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. There was a lot of time put into this. I think I've pretty much got the whole story down that I want to write. But if I write these storys i would like feedback. So please review this so I can correct mistakes and such (I am really bad at editing). Depending on the reviews I get I will write the next three storys making the infamous video game into a cinematic trilogy.
and no I don't own The Legend of Zelda or any of the characters bla bla bla...bla
Prologue
A long time ago, before life began, before the world had form, three golden goddesses descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule. There was Din the goddess of Power, Nayru the goddess of Wisdom, and Farore the Goddess of Courage.
Din with her strong flaming arms cultivated the land to create the Earth. Nayru poured her wisdom into the Earth and gave the spirit of law to the world. Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law. These three goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving behind the Golden Sacred Triforce. Since then the Triforce has become the basis for Hyrule's Providence. Every person living in the land of Hyrule lived according to the Legend which was left behind by the goddesses.
Chapter 1: Link's Awakening
In the vast deep forest of Hyrule, the Great Deku Tree served as the guardian spirit. He kept watch, and protected the children of the forest: the kokiri. The kokiri looked at the Great Deku Tree as a god, leader, and as a father. To help protect the kokiri the Great Deku Tree cast a spell that gave each child of the forest a guardian fairy. Every kokiri child had a fairy; except for one child. His name is Link.
Link stood in the rain, looking up at a strange symbol on the gate to the castle of Hyrule. The symbol was of three triangles arranged so that they formed a triangle. But Link could barely make out the symbol for it was dark and rainy. The only thing that supplied light was the torches on the gate. Link didn't know how to cross the moat that was between him and the wall. He needed for the wooden gate to lower so he could make his way across.
The gate finally started to lower. The chains clanked every inch it took while lowering the gate. When the wooden gate was settled on the ground Link looked into the entrance and saw a white horse rushing towards him.
He quickly moved out of the way. The horse rushed by him. There were two people riding it. One was an older woman wearing all kinds of jewelry and pendants, and the other person on the horse was a little girl. She was in jewelry also except he could see she had the same triangle design on her clothing as the one on the gate.
Link realized that girl was looking at him. She seemed frightened. Link watched until he they rode into the distance.
He turned around to see a giant man on a dark horse standing just outside the gate. The man was decorated in chains and jewelry. He also had heavy dark armor.
The man looked down at Link and his eyes started to glow. Link's vision started to get blurry and everything went white.
Link shot up from his bead in a cold sweat.
The same dream again.
He has had this same dream his whole life. The exact same thing would happen. He would be knocked unconscious by the man on the horse.
Link looked around his home, which was a hollowed out tree. The home was just one giant room. The tree it was carved into is about 20 feet in diameter.
Link looked out the lone window right above his bead. The sun was out and it was about mid day. It was a beautiful day in Kokiri Forest.
Link walked out onto his balcony from his front door, which was a good height from the ground. He walked to the edge and climbed down the ladder to the ground. He noticed all the other children were up and about.
The kokiri village was a small peaceful village. There were only about 20 or so people living there. Everyone knew each other. All the houses were made of stumps or dead Deku trees. Deku trees are the biggest trees in the forest. They have a very wide trunk, and could make a great home if the insides were hollowed out. This is exactly what the kokiri did for their shelters. The kokiri never had any visitors because the village was so deep in the forest.
Link started walking towards the Items Shop where he worked, when he was stopped by his good friend Soria.
"Good Morning Link," said Soria to Link.
"Good morning Soria," answered Link.
"Are you okay?" Soria asked Link as they started to walk.
"Yeah, I just had that dream again," Link told her.
"Oh, I'm sure it will go away someday," she assured him.
"That's what I hoped for all those years ago, when they started," said Link.
"Well maybe the festival tonight will help get your mind off of it," she said.
Link had forgotten about the annual Kokiri Festival that would take place that night. The kokiri celebrate the festival in honor of the Great Deku Tree; their guardian.
"I sure hope so. Well I have to get to work. See you later Soria," Said Link.
"Bye," she answered.
Link started to walk towards the stump decorated with red and yellow paint. He opened the front door to find a line of kokiri waiting in front of the purchase counter. Link walked as fast as he could to avoid any harsh remarks towards him for being late. Delm was waiting for Link in the back, with is arms crossed, and foot tapping.
"So you decided to show, huh," said Delm.
"Sorry I overslept," answered Link.
"I don't want to hear excuses. Do you know what I want though?" asked Delm.
"What..." said Link.
"I want that line of customers in my store GONE!!!" said Delm loudly.
"I'm on it," said Link.
Delm was the oldest of the Kokiri living in the village. He was about 50 years old but he still looked like a child. This was the same for all the kokiri.
Link walked to the front of the store.
"Hello, how may I help you?" he asked the first person in line.
The last person had left and Link was closing up for the night. He could hear all the celebrating going on outside. He couldn't wait to go to the festival. He looked out the window while he was sweeping the shop and saw the children dancing and singing. Delm was even out there drinking his fair share of Deku beer.
Link had always felt different from the others in Kokiri forest. Maybe because he was the only person who didn't have a fairy. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he just felt as if he didn't belong here.
"Alright, all I have to do is dust off the shields and I'm home free," he said to himself.
He dusted the shields and then blew out all of the lights in the store. It was still bright. Link looked around for a candle he had forgotten about. He couldn't find one.
"Huh?" exclaimed Link, scratching his head.
He looked up to see a fairy floating above his head.
"Aren't you supposed to be watching somebody?" said Link.
"Yes, I'm watching you," said the ball of light.
"Me? You are my fairy?" asked Link.
"Yes I am. My name is Navi. The Great Deku Tree asked me to watch over you," said the fairy.
A smile came to Link's face. "I finally have a fairy! YES!!!" screamed Link.
"The Great Deku Tree wanted me to tell you to bring a sword and a shield with you to the festival," Navi told Link.
Link looked at the fairy confused.
"Why?"
"I don't know. I'm just a messenger," she exclaimed.
Link walked over to the cleanly dusted shields and strapped one on his back. The shield was made of wood and had the Kokiri's tribe symbol on it. He then went to the swords and picked out the best one he could find. The swords were not very long, but that is all the store had.
"Okay, now where do I go?" asked Link.
"Well, let's go celebrate," said Navi.
Link got a strange feeling while he was walking around at the festival. He was told to get his sword and shield for a reason. He kept looking around the crowd for anything suspicious.
Link looked towards the Great Deku tree, which was in the center of all the festivities. He walked towards the giant tree. A voice came in Link's head when he was a couple of feet away from it.
Thank you for coming Link. Thy slumber these past moons must have been restless and full of nightmares. A vile climate pervades this world. Verily ye have felt it. The time has come to test thine courage. I have been cursed. I need you to dispel the curse with your wisdom and courage. Art thou prepared?
"Yes," answered Link.
With that Link heard something in the branches of the Deku Tree move. He looked up to see if he could see what it was. Everyone around him seemed to not hear it.
Link stared at something big in the tree. He couldn't make it out. All of a sudden he saw a giant red eye open and a giant spider jumped from the tree and landed in front of Link. The whole party stopped as everyone looked at the monster.
They all scattered in every direction finding somewhere to hide, everyone except Link. He just stared into the eye of the monster.
The monster didn't intimidate Link at all strangely, even though the monster was three times bigger than him. Link drew his sword and grasped his shield. He knew what he had to do.
The monster raised one of its legs and swung it at Link. Link raised his shield to block the blow but it did little to stop him from flying back ten feet. He could hear gasps and screams as the monster did this. He picked himself back up and got into a fighting stance again. The monster rose up on just its back two legs and came down striking Link with its front legs. Link was sent flying back until his back slammed into a house.
He heard screams from inside the house. Link stood up and looked around for the monster. He didn't see it anywhere. He heard a snap behind him; he turned around and saw the monster raised up again ready to strike. Link rolled under the monster and ended up behind it. He raised his sword and struck the monster's back legs.
The monster let out a scream and turned around and rammed Link with all it had. Link really felt the blow and was once again sent flying back. He landed hard but he had to get up, he didn't want to fail The Great Deku Tree. He stood up to see the monster's eye was going crazy with anger after Link sliced its hind legs off.
Link suddenly felt a burn on the back of his hand. He looked down to see three glowing triangles appear on the back of his hand. His attention drew away from his hand when he saw the monster start running towards him.
Link suddenly felt like he wasn't himself. He felt like he had no control over his body. He started to charge at the beast. The beast stopped in its tracks as it saw this. Link started to scream as he got closer to the beast. Many heads popped out of houses to see what was going on.
The beast seemed frightened. Link got close to the monster and lunged at it. He struck the eye of the monster with his sword. The beast screamed and started swinging wildly in the air. Link took this opportunity to cut the beast's underbelly. He raised his sword above is head and ran underneath the monster cutting the beast's belly open. The giant spider collapsed as Link finished the blow.
Link suddenly realized what he did. He couldn't figure out how he did it. He turned around to see the monster lying dead in the middle of the village. Many of the Kokiri people came out of their houses looking at Link strangely.
"Link," said Navi.
Link continued to stare.
"LINK!"
Link snapped out of his trance and looked at Navi.
"We should head back to the Great Deku Tree," said Navi.
Link agreed and started back towards the Deku Tree. He wanted to get everyone's gaze off of him. He arrived to see all the banners from the festival on the ground. The voice of the Deku Tree was in Link's head again.
Well done Link. I know you were worthy of carrying out my wishes. But you are too late. A wicked man of the desert named Ganondorf cast this dreadful curse upon me. Employing his vile, sorcerous energies, the evil one is searching for the Sacred Realm connected to Hyrule. For it is there that one will find the Divine Relic, the Triforce, that contains the essence of the gods. Whoever holds the Triforce will have their wishes come true.
Thou must never allow the Ganondorf to lay his hands upon the sacred Triforce. Thou must never suffer that man to enter the Sacred Realm of Legend.
Link, go now to Hyrule castle. There ye will surely meet the princess of destiny. Present this stone to the princess. I have foreseen she will understand everything.
The future depends upon thee Link. Thou art courageous.
His voice got weaker.
Good...bye...Link.
After those words Link saw a leaf fall from the Deku Tree. The Great Deku Tree had been killed by Ganondorf's spell.
Link and Navi were speechless. They watched the leaf as his landed softly on the ground. They turned around to see the entire village staring at the tree as more leaves started to fall.
Link started walking towards the crowd so he could leave the village. The crowd split in two making a path for Link and Navi. Link walked through the crowd trying not to make eye contact with anyone. He could feel their eyes on him the whole time.
He was relieved to get through the crowd. He continued walking towards the rope bridge. It was the only way out of Kokiri Forest. Nobody in the village had ever gone past the bridge.
Link stood next to the bridge and looked across to the dark trees on the other side of it. He thought to himself that this may be his last time in Kokiri Forest. He turned around to take a gander at the village before he started his journey to Hyrule Castle.
"What's wrong, Link," asked Navi.
"I am going to miss this place," he answered.
"Don't worry, you can come back here after our journey," said Navi.
"I know. I just have this feeling I'll never come back here again," Link told her.
"I'm sure you will. But think about all the great things we will see on our journey," Navi told Link.
A smile came to Link's face.
"You're right, it's just a feeling," he said.
Link made his way across the bridge. He heard a voice from behind him.
"LINK," the voice yelled.
Link knew who it was. It was Saria
"Link wait," he heard again.
He turned to see Saria coming across the bridge. But she stopped halfway across the bridge. That was the furthest the Kokiri were supposed to go.
They stared at each other for a few seconds.
"I always knew you would leave the forest someday," Saria told Link.
"I had that feeling, too," said Link.
"We are all going to miss you," she told Link.
"Don't you mean you will," Link asked?
"What do you mean," Saria asked.
"You were my only friend. Nobody else cared about me except you," he answered.
"It's just because we can tell you are different," she told him.
"It's because I never had a fairy isn't it," asked Link.
"That and..." Saria started.
There was a pause.
"That and what?"
"Nothing," Saria told him.
"I will tell you when you get back," from your journey.
Link smiled at her.
"Okay, Saria," he said to her.
"I want to give you something, Link," Saria said.
Link walked back across the bridge to meet her. Saria gave Link a satchel. Link pulled an ocarina out of it.
"I wanted you to have it," she told him.
"Are you sure," he asked her.
"Yes, I'm sure. Just play it and you will think of me," she told him.
"I know how much this means to you," he told her.
They both looked at each other for a second. Link then put his arms around her and hugged her. They both said their goodbyes.
Link started walking towards the dark woods. He looked back at Saria right before he entered the darkness.
