Edit: I added some details here and there. Everything else is relatively the same. I'll edit some of the other chapters too. You'll know by seeing the words "Edit" on the top of the page.

Hey this is my first Zelda fanfic. This is labeled M for future chapters and was inspired by Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. So yeah, it's a Link x Midna story.

Our hero was sitting under a tree, gazing out into the sky.

For some reason he couldn't calm down, his mind kept nagging him about something he could not remember.

Link sighed as he tried to remember what was so important. He placed his hand which had a fingerless glove on it to his face. He had a headache all day, possibly from thinking so much.

He was dressed in a green tunic and white tights, he had a green Phrygian cap on his head. Slung over his back was the Master Sword and his Hylian shield. His ears were pointed at the end and he has one of his pointed ears pierced with a blue earring, though he couldn't remember when or why. He had yellow hair that was fairly long, and intelligent blue eyes. He also carries the Triforce mark on his left hand, three small triangles forming a bigger triangle by connecting their points. One of the bottom points, the Triforce of Courage, was slightly brighter then the rest.

For the dozenth time that day, Link checked his pockets. He didn't know why either. All he felt were his bag of Rupees, his Bomb Bag, his Double Clawshots, a small pouch, and...

Link stopped and quickly pulled out the pouch. He didn't remember having this. The headache seemed to intensify as he held it up to see. He pulled on the string that kept the bag tied.

When he unwrapped the bag it revealed a small black jewel.

Link was intrigued, and his mind kept telling him he'd remember if he touched it. The small pain had intensified the moment he touched the bag. Now once he saw the jewel the constant throb felt more like someone hit him on the head with a club. Strangely, thinking about being hit on the head with a club, his headache intensified as if it was a memory.

Link tentatively reached out and touched the dark jewel with his fingertips.

Once he made contact, memories flashes past his mind at a great speed. Ordon Village, the Twilight, his adventure, and Midna. Link let out a scream as this happened. The pain in his head was unbearable. He felt like he was going to die.

The second thing, Link began to change. He began to transform from his human form into a menacing wolf with sleek black fur. His blue eyes stayed, but became very intimidating. Claws grew out of his, previously hands, paws and fangs that could kill in a bite formed in Links mouth.

But he still had the Master Sword on his back. Because of the pure power of the Master Sword, Links change was quickly halted. The Master sword expelled the darkness in Link, knocking Link back into the tree.

The jewel harmlessly fell on the ground.

Link was back to his normal form.

Link leaned against the tree, panting and sweating from the experience. The pain seemed to ease for a moment, then it came back, telling him there was something else.

If Midna was here, he thought, that wouldn't have happened.

At the mention of the name, the pain left. Midna! That was it!

Link realized that's what was bothering him, a memory of a friend he forgot.

But how? How could he forget? He searched his memories. He recalled...Zant. The Twili. Ganon. Zelda.

Link seemed to remember one thing. He was speaking to Zelda before everything became blank and he stopped remembering. Glancing at the dark jewel that seemed to pulse, Link carefully wrapped up the jewel in the pouch and hung the pouch around his neck.

Before setting off to question Zelda, Link emptied all of his bags and pockets to see if he could remember more. He took off his tunic to see if he maybe made some secret pockets. He found blue Ocarina with the Triforce on the mouthpiece. Just as he touched it he collapsed on the ground on all fours in pain. He screamed once more at the unbearable sensation that was coursing through him.

However, what Link wasn't aware of, Midna saw what happened and teleported to the castle to inform Zelda.

About time, she thought.

Link was mad. But that didn't cover how enraged he felt.

For the past half hour he searched his things and started to remember his adventures as an adult and as a child. And how he probably forgot.

He remembered how Zelda used the Ocarina of Time to send him back seven years, the seven years he never had, in time. He recalled searching for Navi and meeting the Skull Kid that was controlled by Majoras Mask. He remembered how he traveled, somehow, to that strange world where everyone was different. He recalled a world where Hyrule was flooded. He remembered being in the sky.

But during the end of each memory, he recalled talking to Zelda. Then everything went blank.

Zelda made him forget.

Link kept asking himself one thing.

Why would Zelda do this? What would she gain from erasing my memory?

In a few minutes he reached the castle to find out the answer to his question.

Castle Hyrule was a big and majestic castle just like in any fairy tail. Of course it was guarded, but the guards all knew the Hero of Time so they let him pass.

The only thing they CAN keep out are murderers and thieves, but they do SUCH a good job guarding Zelda from the same threat, he thought bitterly once he was able to recall all the times Ganon took over the same Castle.

He was in no mood to answer to any of the "Hey Link!"'s or "Good day, Hero"'s the people in the castle threw his way.

He just stormed off into the throne room.

"Hello Brother!" said one of the two Gorons guarding the door.

"I need to speak with Zelda." Link told them.

"Can't do that Brother," the other Goron said, "She told us not to let anyone in."

"She's having some sort of meeting." the first one added.

"But if it's important you could watch from the window, Brother." the second Goron said.

"I'll do that," Link said with a nod, "Thanks, Brothers."

It was strange, once Link realized it. In each memory he was still became an honorary brother of the Gorons. He smiled at the thought. But the smile didn't last long as he walked toward the window. He opened it slightly so he could eavesdrop on the conversation without being too obvious.

He couldn't see much, but he did catch a glimpse of Zelda. From the sound of things, she was arguing.

The voices were familiar but he couldn't place his finger on it just yet.

"I wouldn't have to think if she hadn't made me forget," Link grumbled to himself as he tried to place who the voices belonged to.

"But he must not know!" Zelda argued.

Zelda was a tall girl with a womanly figure, blue-gray eyes, and long auburn hair. Zelda was an attractive women and princess of Hyrule. She always wore a dress and also carried the Triforce. Her specific Triforce piece, the Triforce of Wisdom, was slightly brighter then the triangles representing Power and Courage.

If she's carrying the Triforce of Wisdom, why can't she come up with ideas on how NOT to get captured, Link thought.

"Well why not?" said a quite irritated voice.

"I agree with Midna, why can't he remember?" asked a voice that sent shivers down his spine.

Once he heard Midna's name Link tried to look at the people talking, but had no luck.

So, ignoring the bad feeling of the voice and this idea, Link quietly opened the window all the way, making sure the Gorons weren't looking, and sneaked through the window. Once inside he quickly did a roll and hid behind a pillar.

"Well that's becau-" Zelda began.

"Hold up," said Midna who's voice Link indeed remembered now, "there is no reason besides being selfish."

"How would you feel if YOU were made to forget and the secret was kept from you?" asked the voice Link now recognized belonged to Princess Ruto of the Zoras.

The Zoras were a race of humans who adapted to live underwater and on land. Their skin was blue and seemed fake at glance, like a swimsuit. Ruto was fairly tall, a head shorter than Zelda, and nothing stood out until you spoke with her. Or until she saw Link. The princess was obsessed with the young hero, and was insistent that they marry.

"Well I-" Zelda stammered.

"Exactly." Midna said with a huff.

Midna, or the Princess of the Twilight and the Twili, was in one of her three, Link only knew two and was shocked to see this one, forms. The first form was how he meet her. A small impish figure that was covered white and black, she wore a helmet on her head that covered her head but one eye. She had yellowish-red hair that she could manipulate at any time. She also had blue marking on her body, symbolizing her as a Twili. Link smiled slightly as he recalled her imp form. Then frowned once he remembered how she first acted.

Her second form was the same way but taller. She was in this form now and was but half a head shorter than Link. Her yellowish-red hair was down, tho she could still manipulate it at will. There was no helmet on her head for Link recalled it being crushed by Ganon. Midna had a bit of a bossy attitude at times, but she changed as she traveled with Link and he knew she was kind and gentle. She was a bit mischievous at times. She looked amazing to Link right now, a cross between her imp and princess forms.

Link frowned. He felt he forgot something important that happened between them, and he was sure he felt very different about Midna. He recalled most of his adventures, but some details, big or small, escaped him at times. This memory made him feel incredibly sadness, but he wasn't sure why.

Just then the doors opened, Link quickly shrunk back against the pillar while glancing to see who the man was.

Don't tell me he's in on it too, the thought horrified Link.

The man was tall and muscular. He was protecting his hands with gauntlets, while also wearing armor on his midsection and feet. He had short black hair and brown, sad eyes. The man carried a sword at his belt and was known in Hyrule legend as The Legendary Hero.

He was, of course, Link's friend.

At first they began as bitter rivals, but then they became closer one day when they both faced down a horrible monster.

No, he'd never do that, Link thought.

"So what's the big idea?" the man asked, an edge of anger in his voice.

"What do-" Zelda began.

"Don't give me that bull crap!" he shouted and slammed his fist into a pillar, easily shattering it.

That instantly silenced Zelda, while Midna and Ruto quietly backed away.

"Why in the right mind would you erase Link's memory, and keep it a secret from him?" he shouted, "You haven't learned anything from last time!" the Hero was enraged that she would do something like this. He became incredibly close to Link and once he found out what was happening, he came running.

"What last time?" Link muttered aloud.

"It's for the good of Hyrule!" Zelda argued.

"The good of Hyrule?" the man said with a sneer, "No, the 'good of Hyrule' is Link NOT FORGETTING. Are you trying to make him forget your constant kidnapping? Because we ALL know how frequent that is!"

Link was getting pissed. If THAT was her best excuse, he would have yelled the same thing.

The Goddesses know how many times I wish I could have abandoned her, he thought. And, in fact, he could remember how many times now.

"I had no choice, if Link remembered all the bad times in his journeys then he would have changed!" Zelda yelled back.

Changed? That was the best she could do?

Bearing it no more, Link stepped out of the shadows and yelled at Zelda.

"Oh so you feared I would change? You may have made me forget the bad things, but the good things accounted for much more. And you erased EVERYTHING, good or bad! I'm sick of putting up with a spoiled, no good, rotten princess like you!"

With that, Link jumped out the window, cushioned his landing by rolling, and started storming off.

Midna and Ruto ran up to the window to see if Link was okay, and were relieved to find out he was.

Zelda was speechless.

The Legendary Hero sneered at her and said sarcastically, "Nice job, your royal highness."

That's all I'll write for this one, I know it's long (some of you might enjoy a change in the length) but I did stop myself from writing more. The Legendary Hero is something I made up (or I think I did, who knows if someone like him will show up in a new Zelda title), and I'll tell you a little more about him later. And for those of you who want romance, it'll come later on. Don't worry.
