"So this is your bright idea? You think that playing a video game with the flea will make us get along," Shizuo said in a highly skeptical tone. He sat on one side of Shinra's couch holding a video game console controller as gently as he could, trying hard not to break it in a fit of rage.

The reason for said rage was on the other end of the couch where one equally doubtful informant sat with another console controller in his hand, looking like he wanted to be anywhere, but there.

Unfortunately they both owed Shinra a favor the slightly crazy doctor just decided to cash in. However never in Shizuo's or Izaya's wildest dreams or rather nightmares that Shinra would want them to repay him at the same time and in such a manner.

So here they were on am ironically beautiful and peaceful Saturday morning playing videos with their worst enemy. "Couldn't Shinra ask for something easier like blood samples or maybe dissection?" Shizuo mentally groaned in dismay.

"Stupid Shinra and his sadistic tendencies, couldn't he request something less problematic like to make sure no one in the entire city calls Celty for a job so he could romance his headless girlfriend in peace," Izaya thought.

Funny how Izaya found that task to be simpler than playing a game with his rival, but the informant was nothing if not multifaceted. Anyway now they were stuck playing video games so close to each other, not allowed to inflict mental or physical harm to one another in hopes they would bury the almost in the decade in the making hatchet.

"Damn that Shinra," The two supposed enemies' thoughts mirrored.

"So what kind of console is this? It doesn't look like anything I've ever seen before?" Izaya looked at the three-way love child of the PlayStation, X-Box, and Nintendo Wii hooked up to Shinra's large screen LCD television.

Shinra replied dismissively, "Something I borrowed from my father. I'm sure it's perfectly harmless."

His answer made Shizuo and Izaya feel the urge to run for the nearest exit be it door or window no matter how high up they currently were.

"Now shall we begin? I think you should play this game it's an action adventure game. I'm sure you'll enjoy," Shinra smiled mischievously causing chills to go down both Shizuo's and Izaya's spines when he turned on the game console.

Getting up from his seat Izaya said, "Oh I completely forgot I have to meet a client. I'll have to do this another time."

"Yeah and I'm sure Tom needs me for something. You know shaking down some asshole or something…" Shizuo said happy with Izaya for once since info broker provided him with an escape route.

"Nonsense I took the liberty of talking to your secretary Namie and she said your schedule is clear for a while. Then I asked Tom to give you some time off. No need to thank me," Shinra grinned, the game loading in the background.

Izaya grimaced, "Oh how wonderful."

"Yeah that's great," Shizuo groaned.

They sighed in unison sitting back down to accept their fate. What they did not expect was that the screen suddenly grew brighter by the second. Shizuo and Izaya shielded their eyes to avoid being blinded.

Unexpectedly a feeling of electricity surged through the controllers, into their bodies, and they vanished in a flash.

[Did it work?] Celty appeared from the kitchen with a tray of drinks and snacks.

"Like a charm. I'll have to thank dad for letting me borrow this," Shinra sat down on the couch with Celty and turned to see the title screen: The Legend of Izaya.

"Shizuo wake up!" A female voice filtered through the air jolting Shizuo out of unconsciousness. He glanced down to see he was on an unfamiliar bed.

"What the hell?" Shizuo yelled his eyes widen at the outfit he knew he was not wearing a moment ago. The clothing was a pair dark blue sleeping pants and a plain beige shirt.

"Shizuo you need to hurry. The Princess' birthday is today and you need to bring the gift you bought for the party. The entire kingdom is invited, but you are a special guest at the Princess' insistence," A middle-aged woman with long blonde hair and brown eyes stood in the doorway to the bedroom.

She was dressed in a simple cotton blue sundress with a white apron tied to her front and brown suede boots. "Who the hell are you?" Shizuo asked.

"You must be still asleep. I'm your mother, now get moving!" She shouted before slamming the door. "And watch your language!" She added from behind the door, the sound of her footsteps faded away.

Shizuo shouted, "Shinra you bastard, this is your doing!"

[Yep you got that right. Oh and try not to talk aloud only you can hear me through the headset I'm wearing.] Shinra's voice echoed through his mind.

"Lucky me," Shizuo muttered.

"By the way Shizuo I left your clothes on your desk. Hurry up and get dressed!" His 'mother' yelled from downstairs.

"Guess I have no choice, but to play along," Shizuo sighed seeing a green tunic, tan pants, brown soft leather boots matching gloves, and green hat. "You've got to be kidding," His eye twitched, but he quickly got changed nonetheless.

[Hey! Don't just strip in front of us. What if Celty falls for you because of your muscular body not everyone is as fit as you!] Shinra wailed only to groan in pain most likely from a punch in the stomach by Celty.

Shizuo muttered, "It's your own damn fault." He wished he had a cigarette to calm himself down.

"You look great! The Princess will be happy to see you in those clothes. They're modeled after the hero of legend," His 'mother' smiled upon seeing Shizuo coming down stairs. She handed Shizuo a small gift wrapped in shiny red wrapping paper.

Shizuo murmured, "Yeah whatever. I'm going now."

He instinctively knew where to go or rather it was hard to get lost. "I just head in the direction of the giant stone castle that's where princesses live, right?" Shizuo snorted.

"Ah Shizuo a pleasure to see you my boy and you have the Princess' gift. How nice, I'm sure the Princess will love it!" A friendly guard grinned. The man was strangely reminiscent of Simon.

Shizuo just blankly stared at him before walking into the castle. He passed various guards and servants who nodded, smiled, and greeted him cheerfully. It pissed Shizuo off to no end.

"Damn cheerful people," Shizuo grumbled reaching large wooden double doors. He figured that this door would lead to the Princess' room. With a sigh he opened the door and stepped inside. To his surprise he recognized who was the Princess.

A golden tiara placed on top of long black silken hair cascaded off of slender shoulders that revealed flawless pale skin, a long swan like neck that had a matching golden choker wrapped around it.

Clothed in a white and red corset, multi-layered dress that hugged a lithe chest then bellowed out around the waist, matching white long gloves covered lean, yet fit arms and petite hands.

The Princess was someone quite familiar to Shizuo. Amber eyes peered into disgruntled crimson. "Izaya is that you?" Shizuo gaped.

Izaya nodded his head slowly. Shizuo blinked for an awkward moment then his mouth trembled before hysterical laughter poured out of the blond. This action earned a poisonous glare from said Princess.

"Damn you it's not funny!" Izaya lifted up the skirt part of his dress so he could move more easily. This movement revealed a pair of knee-length white leather boots, not that Shizuo was looking or so he told himself.

"So Shinra seems to be playing a joke on us," Shizuo finally managed to stop laughing long enough to talk.

Izaya raised a brow, "No kidding. Anyway you have no right to laugh at me, Shizu-chan. That getup you're in is just as ridiculous, really… tunics and tights?"

Shizuo's face turned a bit red having forgotten what he had on. Folding his arms, Shizuo griped, "At least it's not a dress. Do you have any idea how we get out of this game, flea?"

"Isn't it obvious, why play the game of course! Shinra already explained to me before you got here. We have to play the game to the end in order to get out," Izaya replied.

Shizuo grunted, "What's next? I want to get the hell out and away from you as soon as possible."

"We go to the ballroom for the party. It's my birthday after all," Izaya smirked glancing down at the gift in Shizuo's hands.

Shizuo blushed, "Don't take this too personal. The game gave me this gift. I didn't actually get you this!"

This only caused Izaya's smirk to widen, "Whatever Shizu-chan, let's get a move on." He went out the door walking surprisingly graceful in those high-heeled boots.

The moment they reached the ballroom the music stopped playing. "I present to you her excellency, Princess Izaya!" A guard bellowed, signaling everyone to clap and cheer.

"I bet you love all of this attention," Shizuo muttered going down the stairs with Izaya practically skipped down the stairs beside him.

Izaya chuckled, "Well, maybe just a little bit."

They made it down to the bottom of the stairs to face an older man who resembled an older Izaya he was clearly the King, as he was dressed in royal attire and wearing a crown.

"My dearest Izaya today is your eighteenth birthday. You are now at the beginning of adulthood and soon you will be ruling over this kingdom with compassion and wisdom. I know deep in my heart that you will lead this kingdom into another era of peace and prosperity," The King smiled warmly at his 'daughter'.

Shizuo thought, "Yeah right. This place will go up in flames of destruction with Izaya laughing manically the entire time."

A vivid picture of people screaming in the streets and houses burned all around them appeared in Shizuo's mind. Shizuo could also see Izaya sitting upon the throne watching it all grinning and cackling madly.

"Shizuo you can give the first gift. I'm sure it's quite special," The King's voice snapped the debt collector out of his little daydream.

"Yeah sure…here Izaya take it," Shizuo grumbled. The people thought he was being shy and not what he truly was, deeply annoyed.

Izaya grinned, "Oh thank you Shizu-chan, you shouldn't have!" He took the gift, but before he could open it, the ballroom doors slammed open. A male who towered over everyone entered the ballroom. However it wasn't his height that stood out the most.

He had dark green skin, orange-red hair that contrast greatly with his complexion. He was quite muscular dressed in charcoal and green armor, along with a black cloak draped across his broad shoulders. The man also carried a large broadsword with him.

"Ganondorf, what are you doing here?" The King yelled. The people gasped except Izaya and Shizuo who looked on in confusion.

"I heard word of a party for the Princess. Sadly I did not receive an invitation," His deep voice echoed making the people sans Izaya and Shizuo shivered in fear.

Izaya commented, "How come he wasn't invited? He would have livened up the party that's for sure."

No one, but Shizuo heard him. The blond could only sigh at Izaya's lack of concern for the situation. "It's not that I'm nervous or anything. I'm pretty sure I could kick the guy's ass if I need to," Shizuo mused.

"You bring nothing, but death and destruction! Of course you would not be invited!" The King bellowed.

"How rude, I'm come all this way and have gotten nothing, but contempt. I even brought the Princess a present," Ganondorf smirked when a dark portal appeared behind Izaya sucking him in before vanishing. "And that is a one-way trip to the Dark Realm," He chuckled.

"What the hell?!" Shizuo yelled since he was so close when the portal opened. Everyone gasped or shuddered in terror that made Ganondorf all the more pleased.

Ganondorf's fiery golden eyes zeroed in on Shizuo, "Now that the Princess is mine I will be one step closer to obtaining the Triforce. Now to move on to you Shizuo."

Fortunately a bright white portal formed behind Shizuo thus teleporting him to safety. "So those damn meddling fools saved at least one of them. No matter, all I have to do is wait for when Shizuo tries to rescue Princess Izaya," Ganondorf sneered then disappeared.

"Shizuo wake up," A soft elderly man's voice echoed around Shizuo's head. His eyes snapped awake as he was once again lying on an unfamiliar bed.

"I have to stop doing this," Shizuo grumbled. "Who the hell are you?" He asked at first angry, but soon his expression changed to that of alarm. He was surrounded by several men who were made of pure golden light dressed in robes.

"Hello Shizuo it is pleasure to meet you. We are the Ancient Sages," They spoke in unison.

They spoke, "We were too late to save both for that we apologize. The seal that trapped him in the Dark Realm has weakened due to Princess Izaya reaching adulthood. It is of that age where the Triforce of Wisdom would reach its peak of strength.

You are all connected to what is known as the Triforce. You may have noticed, but you had already reached adulthood thus the Triforce of Courage appeared on your hand. The symbols are calling to one another hoping to be reunited. Ganondorf possesses the Triforce of Power and craves more of it."

As if on cue the Triforce of Courage glowed on Shizuo's right hand getting a mere raise of a brow from Shizuo, "So… he waited until we reached adulthood to kidnap us to get this Triforce. What does it do anyway?"

"The Triforce is able to grant the wish of the possessor. The mark on you hand is simply a symbol for those who represent the traits for the parts of the Triforce. To use the actual power of the complete Triforce one must obtain the physical Triforce pieces. They are each sealed within temples across the lands. Only a possessor of the Triforce symbols can obtain their true power," The Sages spoke.

Shizuo folded his arms, "So why didn't Ganondorf just get them himself?"

"He was sealed away in another realm. It was out hope he would never return to his world. But if there was ever a time he did escape, powerful magic seals were created by the Goddesses to keep him from entering the temples. They knew the Triforce does not distinguish between good and evil so they at least made it so no evil shall be able to enter the temples in which they are kept," The Sages replied.

"I guess at means I have to get them so I can rescue Izaya and defeat this Ganondorf," Shizuo sighed as they all nodded their heads.

"Here take this it will help you on your journey," The Sages murmured and a bright light shone on Shizuo's back and his hand.

A sudden urge to do a pose chimed in with music in the background and red text scrolled above his head. A beautiful sword appeared in his hand and its sheath on his back. It seemed no one was able to see the text, but Shizuo.

Text: You obtained the Sword of the Goddess! It is still incomplete you must find a way to upgrade your sword in order to defeat Ganondorf only with the complete sword will you be able to fight him.

"Best of luck to you, Shizuo. The first destination is the Earth Temple. We shall teleport you there from then on you are on your own, but do not worry servants of the Goddesses will help you on your journey," The Sages said before Shizuo disappeared in a flash of white light.

Meanwhile in the Dark Realm Izaya was locked in a rather comfortable bedroom, which Izaya was thankful for he didn't want to spend the entirety of the game in a dungeon. "I hope this room is to your liking Princess," Ganondorf appeared inside the room in a swirl of dark mist.

Izaya quipped, "It's rude to enter a room like that. What if I was sleeping or getting ready to take a bath you could have caught me naked."

Ganondorf had the decency to blush at Izaya's statement, "You are quite different from what I expect a Princess to behave."

"I'm not the crying in the corner damsel in distress type," Izaya rolled his eyes.

Ganondorf chuckled, "Brave, are you? Or is it you truly believe that fool is going to rescue you?"

"Who Shizu-chan? He would have wished I was actually destroyed in that portal instead of just teleported into another Realm safe, but horribly bored," Izaya replied earning a bewildered look from the villain.

"By the way, is there anything to eat in this place? What kind of host doesn't offer his guest refreshments?" Izaya added with a glare at Ganondorf who was taken aback by his boldness.

"Uh… yes I'll just go now," Ganondorf murmured in confusion leaving out of the room by door since he was too startled to use his magic.

"Now let's take a look around," Izaya smirked noticing the door wasn't locked.

[Izaya I don't think this is how the game is supposed to go.] Shinra remarked.

[It's his own fault for being idiotic enough to not lock it behind him. I said before I'm no damsel in distress. I'm not waiting for Shizu-chan to get his act together to rescue me.] Izaya replied ripping the dress' bottom only leaving enough material to clothe his upper thighs for better mobility.

Izaya whispered, "I need to find the way out or at least some sort of weapon to defend myself with."

Sneaking in the shadows was something he was an expert at. Izaya made his way around the guards who resembled some sort of large boar and human crossbred.

Quickly entering the nearest room the informant was lucky enough to enter the weapons room. "That was convenient," Izaya remarked finding black leather bag, a bunch of daggers, and throwing knives. Seeing all those razor-sharp weapons made him grin like a kid in a candy store.

"Oh sharp, perfectly balanced, and comfortable grips. Villains get the best stuff," Izaya gushed filling the seemingly bottomless bag with everything he could get his hands on. He was about to leave the room until he spied a black cloak that seemed to shimmer.

Giving into the urge of curiosity he slipped it onto his shoulders. Music began to chime in the background that only Izaya seemed to be able to hear.

Text: You obtained the Stealth Cloak! You are able to blend into dark place and shadows easier, you are able to remain invisible while standing still however once you move the effect is gone and you will be visible again.

"Alright that was strange," Izaya murmured at the red text that appeared above his head.

Shrugging he proceeded out the door testing out his cloak. He was quite happy to see it was working as he sneaked around the guards easily.

"I can't believe I'm catering to the Princess as if I'm some kind of servant," Ganondorf's voice echoed down the hall.

Upon hearing him Izaya found a dark corner and stood as still as possible becoming invisible. After a few tense moments of which Ganondorf's eyes locked onto the corner Izaya was hidden. After a minute or two Ganondorf just shook his head and continued on his way to the soon to be discovered empty bedroom.

Izaya sighed in relief, "I believe it's definitely time to find an exit."

He decided to find the nearest window and use his parkour skills to get him out of the castle. Izaya quickly found a window. He climbed out onto the ledge to see a series of balconies, ledges, and stones perfect for handholds and landings making Izaya smirk.

"Oh this will be a piece of cake," Izaya grinned excitedly. Launching out of the window he jumped, flipped, twirled, and flew effortlessly in the air until he landed in a shadowy corner of the courtyard.

During this Celty and Shinra watched from the couch back in the real world in amazement. They knew Izaya was a master of parkour, but seeing it done wearing a dress and heels is another matter altogether.

[That was impressive.] Celty wrote to Shinra who nodded his head.

Without warning Ganondorf's anger-filled growl echoed the air and an alarm was sounded. "Guess he found out," Izaya managed to get to the gate only to be seen by three Bokoblins armed with cleavers.

"I'm sorry to leave without saying goodbye, but I have to meet up with a large blond idiot and find a way out of this game," Izaya smirked.

With a flick of his wrist three throwing knives were lodged in the middle of the Bokoblins' heads thus killing them. They vanished in a puff of dark purple smoke.

"Hey Celty Izaya is pretty scary. Do you think he'll kill me once he is out of the game?" Shinra asked in a worried tone.

[You're a goner.] Celty replied earning a wail of distress from Shinra.

Quickly scaling the gate and as an afterthought cutting the ropes that controlled the gate with a throw of another knife Izaya ran into the Dark Forest surrounding Ganondorf's castle.

"Wait for Shizu-chan to rescue me my ass," Izaya muttered.

End of Chapter

Author's Note: This idea came out of nowhere, but I had to write and share it, it was just too damn funny not to. As for the Zelda references, well I'm a fan, but I haven't played the games in a while so things won't be exactly right besides this is the Legend of Izaya. ;D
