Hello everyone, this is a telling of Twilight Princess as I feel it happened. In short, it is basically the game, with my own opinions, and my own reasoning. You may ask yourself, why the Cuccoo would I want to read this and not play the game? That's a good question, truely, I would see your reason. The only thing I can say its a good equivalent to a lets play, and also, it may also give you your own insight.

I also believe it would be like the Ocarina of Time Manga, but less pictures, more words XDD.

If you can't play the game, its also a good way to experience it.

So, without any further talking by me, please, enjoy the read!

Link x Ilia ftw! XDD

Chapter 1: Twilight's Sanction

Rusl was right, the time of Twilight was surreal. I wasn't sure it was as such an ominous presence as he made it out to be, I felt it more as a calming and soothing end to a good day. Even though I had to shut down the ranch, I didn't pay it so much mind. After all, it was easy enough, and only took me about two minutes. But, where could Epona have run off to? She probably went to the spring, but I don't know. Well I hear something in the spring I wonder what…

I was going to continue my pondering, but I found myself dumbstruck by the sight I saw. The visage of my best friend Ilia, as the sun's golden light shone down on her, making her presence breath taking. I didn't know what this feeling was, but all of a sudden, a lot of things began to change in how I saw Ilia. We would always be friends but… what else could it be?

"Oh, Hi, Link." She said, shaking me out of my thoughts.

"Hi." I said back, I stepped towards the spring where she was. But when she spoke, every nerve in my body froze.

"I washed Epona for you." She said, to my paralysis.

"You didn't have to do that." I replied, I couldn't tell for certain, but her attention seemed to be on me, and not Epona. I smiled brightly, as she kept staring at me.

She started up again "Epona is a girl too, so you have to treat her nice like one." She said, in her playfully scolding voice. Then she turned to me with "Oh, but listen, Link... Could you do something for me?"

Her face was one of a kind question, so I nodded and said "Sure, what is it?"

She smiled and said "Can you use a piece of grass to play that song for me? You know, the one Epona likes?"

I thought at first she wanted it just because Epona liked it. But something in her voice hinted at more. So I grabed a piece of grass from a near by collection of it, and softly blew into it. The rhythm was easy to do, and was practically played by itself.

As I finished, Epona trotted towards me. And Ilia's smile remained on her face as she said "I tried to play it for Epona, but I just can't seem to play it the way you can, Link."

The way she complimented me made my face go red. I didn't know why in hell everything had just changed. But I started to ignore it and said "I'm sure you play it just fine..." I spoke the truth, almost everything she did was practically perfection waiting to happen. My attention was lost as she complemented me again. "It's such a nice Melody... Well, Epona looks happy. And, she's all prettied up now, so I suppose you can ride her back. But don't make her do too much ok?" Her judgment wasn't one undeserved. My history was a little rough, I never intended her any harm. So Ilia always took the extra step to make sure I didn't do something stupid, as she always did. She was kind and caring, and I didn't realize I was staring until she said "What's wrong? Aren't you going to help at the ranch?"

I shook myself out of these stupid new thoughts and said "Yeah, just wondering what Fado is up to. Catch you later!" I said, as we waved eachother off, I trotted out of the spring, and increased speed down the forest path. When I got to my house, Epona knew instinctively to slow down, and we slowly trotted down the short path into the main sect of Ordon.

Barely 10 seconds worth of walking from my house was Ordon, I looked around as everyone was sprawled around the village. I noticed Beth's family close up on my left, as I trotted by I waved, and Beth's mom had stated.

"Ah, if it isn't young Link. Are you going to close down the ranch for the day?"

I nodded, and smiled. And she was always bright and cheerful as she was, so long as she wasn't riding her husband. I liked the man, but I far from envied him.

"I just closed shop myself. I'm sure you know all about the mischievous monkeys that've been coming into the village lately... Those things worry me a bit."

"Your telling me, I had one of those things screaming outside my window one night. I was not a very snug bug in a rug." I responded, quoting a vague memory from my childhood, I forgot who had said it to me. But I didn't give it a second thought.

The Mrs. Nodded and said "I'd better lock up tight here... I can't stand to have any more goods stolen."

And here came the part that made me thankful not to be the man I paid respects to in my earlier thought. "Can't trust that good-for-nothing husband to do anything right..."

I heard Beth, the young girl of Ordon say something to her father. I hope she'd be able to lift his spirits, but I doubt it. "C'mon dad! You can't catch a silly little monkey?"

I chuckled, she had just slapped the sunburn his wife had just given him. In a tone of voice that sounded like he felt himself unworthy, he said "Uh... Well... No. I can't."

Then Beth's mom started back once more, she was a kind woman, but loved to get her way. "Oh... listen to us babble on. I didn't mean to keep you. All right, off to work with you!" She teased playfully, as I began trotting, I waved back, as I came up to Rusl's family.

Surprisingly, the quiet Collin was the first one to speak "Oh... Hi, Link."

To be honest, the boy reminded me of myself. I hardly ever talk, I wasn't all that special. I had my own few hobbies. He had all of those things, he was a kind boy, he had a spirit that made you think what would become of him. But sadly, Talo didn't take much to that. Talo was a good kid indeed, but to be sincere, was much too run don't walk. I finally got around to replying. "Hey buddy, how's it been?"

"I'm making you a fishing rod, y'know!" He said, quite enthusiastically, which I didn't hear much from him.

I quickly smiled back and said "Excellent, I'm sure I'll be eating the big fish of the river in no time!"

"All I have to do is paint it, so get ready for fishing!"

"Will do buddy." I said back to the kid, he felt like the little brother I never had.

As I slowly rode past, I noticed the boy's mother, and was dragged into another pleasant conversation.

"Good evening Link. This is a lovely sunset, is it not?" She said, almost as if she was nudging at something. What, I didn't know, but it was indeed splendid. "Aye, that it is. I'm glad to see you're doing well Uli."

She smiled at my comment "It is kind of you to spend time with my husband you know... it gives me time for myself!" She said, with a chuckle. Uli was a kind woman, I thought of her as family. Not necessarilly a mother, perhaps a cross between a mother and an older sister. That was the wonder of Ordon. A family not bound by blood was more unique than any other.

"Thank you Uli, it isn't anything you should thank me for. I don't do it for that purpose."

She chuckled again, she seemed so motherly, yet so playful. "Oh, do you have to put the livestock to bed now?" She asked.

I nodded, and with a wave to her, I was off. I waved to Rusl as I passed him, as I trotted up to the Mayor. Me and Mayor Bo had been close since I was little. Me being Ilia's best friend. We got along very well, and he was always such a kind man. I could never see him harming a fly. "Oh, Link."

"Hey Mayor." I said, giving him a kind nod.

"Look's like you're going to help Fado, good job." He said, with a jolly expression.

As I nodded, he said "He headed up to the ranch ahead of you. You go finish up your chores before the sun goes down." He said, his words weren't of threat nor reprimand. They were of our many friendly banters, a challenge of sorts. To which...

I accepted. "Of course Mayor Bo, when don't I?"

He waved, as Epona and I started trotting up the hill to the Ranch.

As we trotted up to the field, with the numerous grazing goats. I couldn't help but smile. But sadly, the beauty of the field couldn't be savoured, as Fado had run over to me. "Sorry to get you over here in such a hurry, Link!"

I smiled, and merely shook my head, he knew that I was more than willing to help.

These guys have been awful skittish lately. They won't listen to a word I say. Sorry to ask bud, but how's about an' Epona herd em' into the barn real quick? We ain't got much time, so you think you can do it for me?"

I gave Fado a solid nod, and said "Sure Buddy, we'll get it done in no time." I said, smiling.

"Much obliged there, bud! OK, then, go on an' herd all these little scamps into the barn for me!"

As he said that, we gave a brief nod to each other, and Epona started a quick gallop. I gave a whoop breifly, as we came up to the first group of goats, and as quickly as we had started, four of them were already in the barn. With a cut through the center of the farm, and a sharp left, we had managed to send in five more yaks, leaving one more left. Huddled out on the curve of the rocky incline, I rushed out quickly, giving a few loud whoops, sending the scared yak for the barn, and, in under a minute, we had finished.

As I trotted back up to Fado, he said "Link, Epona... much obliged to both of y'all!"

I gave a kindhearted smile, telling him I needed no thanks.

"I can cover everythin' tommorrow without havin' to trouble you, so just sit back an' relax bud." He said, as much as I wish I could help out, I could tell there was no changing his mind.

"Oh.. but, uh, how bout' today? Wanna practice with the fences? Just wait a spell, bud. I'll get them fences set up."

As quickly as he had darted off, before I could respond, he dragged out the two large fences. He quickly set them up, as I pet Epona's mane.

"Hoo, sorry that took so long! Ok, then! Y'all ride all you want! Ya'll get tired of ridin',a just jump the gate an' head back into the village, ok, bud?"

I gave a solemn, nod, and we made a quick round, making perfect jumps over the two fences, it was starting to get late, so as I jumped the first fence for a second time, I had epona gallop over to the fence, and she leaped over it with incredible grace. I waved to Fado, as he walked behind us.

As we trotted through the village, I could see everyone heading inside, as I trotted through the village. However, a strange sight caught my eye...

I saw Ilia brushing her hair in her window, she made eye contact with me, and waved with a smile. I could only do the same, and if it wasn't for Epona, I would have been standing there dumbstruck.

Well, as we approached the house, I disembarked from Epona's saddle, and let her walk into her little spot by the house. She didn't need tied up, and I didn't want to.

I quickly climbed into my house, having ate after I gathered wood with Rusl, I wasn't hungry. I climbed upstairs, to the third floor, into my comfy bed. As I pulled the blanket over me, my thoughts were all about today... and how wondrous it had been, and the fact that almost all of my days were like this. Carefree, and joyful.

It wasn't surprising that I found myself quickly embraced in sleeps sweet embrace. And even though I was unconscious, I could see my dream play out, so very vividly. I saw everyone in Ordon, every single one of them. Talo, Malo, and their parents. Beth with her Mother and father. I could see Rusl, Bo, and Fado talking about something or other...

Then I saw Ilia, waiting by the path in front of my house... what was she waiting for... where was I? I didn't know, what was this I was seeing? I didn't know, but I could see a man in green, a great and powerful swordsman, trotting on a chestnut steed. I could see the pain in his eyes, he had thing he had to do, and so he had to bear the pain. This man looked so new, so powerful, so unique... yet so familiar.

I soon became less aware of my dreams, as the visions faded to black.

I hope you enjoyed chapter one, please review so I can improve! XDD
