The Legend of Zelda: A Feral Vow

Prologue

"You're already leaving this land of Hyrule, aren't you?"

"..."

"Even though it was a short time, I feel like I've known you forever."

"Zelda..."

"I'll never forget the days we've spent together in Hyrule..."

"Zelda please don't be sad. I swear a heroes oath that I'll return to you, the sages and everyone else once I find Navi..."

At this Zelda couldn't help the single tear that escaped her left eye and the smile that found itself on her face. During the entire year that Link had been staying at the castle training with the guards, he and Zelda had formed a wonderful and very close friendship, and not once had he ever broken a promise or had been unable to cheer Zelda up.

It has been almost ten months since Ganondorf had been sealed away in the evil realm, and during that time Zelda had persuaded her father to allow Link to stay in the castle so that he could train with the knights, study from the library, and above all keep Zelda safe when Impa had to be called away to the Chamber of Sages. After some negotiations, involving Link staying three doors away from Zelda's room with cow bells attached to their doors, Link was allowedto stay in the castle and keep Zelda safe and in childlike company.

Over this portion of time Link had grown strong enough to rival an adult, flexible enough to preform almost impossible stunts,reflexive enough to hear a throwing needle in a ballroom ("which happened one too many times," he would say), intelligent to rival a scholar, and so adept in magic, at his age, to move rocks with a flick of the wrist.

Yet, even with all this he never lost his innocence, good nature, and ,what most people would call, hard headedness.

Now however, it was time for him to leave. His biggest dream was to travel the world and see how big the Earth the goddesses created really was. But, he never thought he would have to accomplish this dream in order to find his fairy friend, Navi, who had stuck with him throughout his quest to save Hyrule.

"...and when I come back I promise I'll be stronger than the whole royal army, and more powerful than any single mage from here to the Desert Colossus!" he exclaimed.

Zelda had to giggle at his bold announcement. 'He always one to make eccentric declarations and show them off' Zelda thought.

"I know..." she said almost sadly. "...and I believe in my heart that a day will come when we shall see you again..."

Zelda then brought out the Ocarina of Time from her pouch on her waist.

"Until that day come please...take this."

She at that moment held out the sacred relic out for him.

Link looked at the familiar relic in his good friends hands.

"I am praying..." Zelda continued, "...praying that your journey be a safe one. If something should happen to you, remember The Song of Time."

Link then stepped forward taking the instrument from her and placing it in his pouch on his belt. He then looked back up at the sad face of his friend. Feeling bad for leaving her and his other friends, he reached into the pocket on his tunic and pulled out an intricate and very beautiful golden necklace. The necklace's pendant was a replica of the Triforce laid out on a white gold forest leaf, and in each triangle there was a gem. In Power there was a ruby in the shape of a small sword, in Wisdom there was a sapphire in the shape of an open book, and in Courage was an emerald shaped like a sheild.

Zelda looked upon the piece of jewlery with wide eyes and mouth agape. She was about to ask where he was able to get this but Link beat her to the to it.

"Rember that tournament between all the knights two months back? Well, it turns out every one in the castle was pulling in money for the victor and we both know I won that a little too fast." he said with a big toothy grin.

Zelda mood was lifted slightly and her smile had returned even more heartwarming than before.

"I'll be back Zelda...I promise."

After a hug good-bye he mounted his horse, Epona, and left with fire determined look in his eyes.

Zelda watched him until she could no longer see him. "The Goddess of Time is protecting you. If you play the Song of Time, she will aid you..." gripping the necklace a little closer to her heart she uttered a silent prayer, "Goddess of Time please keep Link safe from all lethal harm and please bring him back home to me safely."

And with that she turned and walked back to the castle, back to her room, and back to her bed where she'll cry silent tears until she fell asleep with the necklace still in her hand.

First, I'd like to say that I do not own Legend of Zelda, those rights are reserved to nintendo.

Second thing is that this is going to be a zelink romance with action and a little humor

Third thing is that there will be a few OCs and few things from a few other games(not all will be zelda games) but there will only be characteres from OoT and MM

Last thing is that link will return (obviously) as a sword-wielding, weapon-specializing, magic using power house. If you dont like it dont read it

Read, enjoy, and review
