Disclamer: I don't own The Legend of Zelda, games or characters.

April 21, the 31st year in the reign of the King Hyrule II.

Well, this is my first time writing in a diary, so I guess I ought to introduce myself! My name is Malon Astira, and I'm eight years old. I live with my dad, Talon, and our ranch hand Ingo, on our farm, the Lon Lon Ranch. My father gave me this diary, as a sort-of "I'm sorry" present. So I guess the first thing I'll write about are the events that lead up to my getting this diary.

I was waiting for my father, in Hyrule's town square. He was late, as usual. As much as I love my father, sometimes I just have to wonder about him, he just never seems to act like a...father. Anyway, one of the things I love most about Hyrule is watching the people there. Today wasn't much different from any other day, everyone was milling about the square, trying to find the best deals around. A little kid was running around trying to catch her cucco (I could of caught it for her if I wanted to). A couple was dancing, right there in the middle of the square (what's up with that?). Other than that, pretty normal. Well, that's what I thought at first.

In the middle of one of the crowds, I saw something shiny. At first I didn't pay much attention to it, I thought it was just something reflecting the sun. But then I realized, it was moving! And suddenly, it struck me, a fairy! But I couldn't figure out what a fairy would be doing here, in the square. As I started to get up and go find out, I saw a kid come out of the crowd, with the fairy following him. This wasn't any ordinary kid though. He was dressed almost entirely in green, and had a little sword and shield on his back. I saw him look over in my direction, only then did I realize that I had been staring. He ran over.

"Um, hi, you wouldn't happen to know where the princess is, do you?" He asked, unsurely.

I couldn't help but laugh. "That's a strange question. Are you from the forest, is that why you have a fairy?"

"Yeah." He said, almost proudly, looking at the fairy.

"That's so cool! And of course I know where the princess is. She's at the castle." I said, pointing in it's direction. "But why do you need to see the princess?"

"Because the Deku Tree told me to." He answered back. He started walking towards the castle.

"Hey, wait! If you're going to the castle, would you look for my dad? He's supposed to be back by now, but he's not."

He turned around and smiled. "Sure thing! Umm...what's his name?"

"His name is Talon, and my name is Malon. Thanks Fairy Boy!" I couldn't help but laugh at the expression he made when I called him that. Sort of like the expression you make whenever you eat a sour lemon. He stuck out his tougue and ran off.

I waited a couple minutes longer, and started thinking. My dad is one of the hardest people to wake up in the morning. Even if Link found my dad, and he had fallen asleep, I doubt Link would be able to wake him up. Then I got an idea.

I walked toward the castle gates, and got there just in time to hear one of the guards yell at Link, and tell him to not even try to sneak in again. Link turned and walked away from the guard. His face brightened up when he saw me.

"They won't let me in." He told me.

"Well, they're not just going to let you just walk in the castle, you know?"

"But I have to see the princess!"

"Well, then maybe you should try taking a different route." I said, motioning to the vines on the wall behind us. He grinned. "Hey, but take this just in case." I said, handing him an egg.

"But why..."

"My dad's a heavy sleeper." I said in return.

"Okay, whatever you say..." He started up the vines. "See you Malon."

"See you, Fairy Boy." I said laughing. I walked back to Hyrule square, and decided to head back home, confident that Link would find my dad.

And he did.

I woke up the next morning to my dad's apologizing (he hasn't stopped, actually), and to the gift of this diary. He told me that a little boy dressed in green clothing had woken him up and told him that "Malon is tired of waiting for you, and she says that you'd better get back soon or she'll be angry." How funny! I hope I'll get the chance to thank Fairy Boy sometime.

So there it is! All the events that lead up to my getting this diary. I'll write again whenever something interesting happens, so be ready!

Malon Astira

Well, what do you think? I haven't decided whether or not I'll have it so that Malon remembers the events that took place during Ganon's reign or not, please review and tell me if you think it should!
