A/N: So there has been speculation of the new Zelda Wii that it will be the sequel to Majora's Mask. And, well, true or not, I jumped ALL OVER the idea. Unable to contain it inside, halting (not exactly) productions of my other fanfics, I am writing this one. Enjoy!

Prologue

The Lonely One

20 years old

He had only one other, a horse. But this companionship out here in this deep, fast, and empty region of that forest was not enough. He was looking for her, his friend. They were true friends, and that was all he ever wanted in life. He had saved two lands from a terrible fate, going through hardships unexplainable, and now he was this. Alone, out here, with nothing but a horse.

He knew she was still alive, for even though it had been so many years since he had last been in the last land he had rescued, he knew her life was long. That's why he still searched on relentlessly. Not a day went by he did not think of her. Not a night went by where he relived the awful scene, when she had left without warning. Now, out here, he had only one friend, and that was a horse.

He had a bond with that horse, but no matter how close they were, she was getting old, and she could not talk like the one he was searching for. She may have been a very rare breed that could live longer than others, but she was still a horse. Soon to die. Day in, day out, he walked or rode on, hunting occasionally for food. He was sick of this endless forest, so full of mist, other days there was a canopy so thick, it was night at full sun.

This place, was terrible. He wanted her, and he wanted out at the same time. But he couldn't.

Once he found her they would go live...

He couldn't go back with her. He realized more and more with each day, that this hell was now his home for the rest of his life, whether he found her or not. That's why he needed her. This was not a romatic love, this was not a family love...

...Link just wanted a friend.
