A/N I do not claim any of the characters as mine. Not
even Link Jr. or the new Princess Zelda, though they were my idea it’s because
they are too much like the original Link and Zelda.
And now
chapter 2: Fateful meeting and Loss.
Hyrule was bustle with excitement as stores closed and
people around town were doing last minute shopping before all the stores
closed. The sun was setting slowly and guards were watching for
Stalchildren as they held the gate open for the royal guest to come and
celebrate this wonderful day. Link and his son Link Jr. walked in to town and
saw everyone running about before they heard the big news.
It was Princess Zelda’s 18th birthday and everyone was
getting ready. Her party was celebrated as a masquerade ball. Link looked to
his son and smiled before putting his arm around him pulling him to the Happy
Mask shop and decided to but two plain masks something that fit their clothes.
“Father, why are we going to this ball? We might not know
anyone that is going.” The young boy spoke as his father put the mask on him.
“Because, the Queen is an old friend of mine” Link
laughed putting his own mask on.
Link was dressed in his normal attire. The white under
garments that covered his legs and arms, green shorts, tunic, and hat, knee
high riding boots, golden gauntlets, and his traveling equipment from his
adventures. He still had his ears pierced but the once gold loop was now just a
gold stud. His mask was a solid black full face mask with the gold symbol of the
Triforce.
Link Junior was dress in similar clothes but his was
black with the white undergarment, silver gauntlet, and a few more earrings.
The earrings consisted of two loops on the lobe of his right ear, one loop on
his left lobe and a band on the back tip of his ear. He would sigh pulling the
mask he father put on him off a bit as it was a simple black mask that laid
just over his eyes and nothing else.
They would soon head up to the path to the north of town
heading to Hyrule Castle. The castle was as grand as ever, tall white stone
walls, color full stain glass windows that told stories. If one was to
look up they would see men sitting on the roof relaxing holding large crates
and such as they were the fireworks crewmen.
They would enter the castle and slowly down the
beautifully decorated halls. Full of painting and art that common people
couldn’t afford. Link Jr. would stop and look to a painting that hung on the
wall before looking to his father. The painting was of the last battle with the
evil Ganondorf.
“Hey dad this guy with the Master Sword looks a lot like
you.” The young boy announced
“…Hmm?” Link walked over and looked over the painting
“Well, I guess she wanted to show everyone what happened. That is me, my son. I
was once called the Hero of Time, but that was a long time ago.”
Link Jr. was surprised as they started to walk down the
halls before enter a large hall decorated in pink and silver cloth streamers.
Table line the outside of the dance floor. Link smiled last time he was in this
room he was only a young boy receiving a reward for saving the future of
Hyrule. Now the room was decorated for a birthday and people were busy talking
to each other and explaining politics. No one was dancing as it seemed like
everyone feared the idea.
A tall woman dressed in an elegant pale pink and gold
ball gown walked over to them. Her dress was cut off shoulder and low across
the chest with elbow length sleeves and corset top. The woman in it also wore a
simple white mask with the Triforce symbol on it. The mask matched Link’s
purely coincidental.
“...Link? Is that you?” A familiar voice chimed out from
under the white mask.
”Yea…Zelda?” Link pulled his mask off and smiled a bit
”Oh my heaven! Link it has been so long!” Zelda pulled
her mask off looking to him then over to Link Jr. “Is that…?”
“Yes it is Zelda. This is link Jr.” Link spoke quickly
cutting her off. “Son... Why don’t you go look for some fun.”
“Sure if I can.” Link Jr. sputtered lightly before heading
to a pair of open doors walking out and away from them
“Why did he leave?” Zelda watched but she wasn’t the only
one that saw.
“He is not big for large gatherings. Being just me and
him for long periods of time probably did that.” Link sighed softly feeling bad
Link Jr. looked around before leaning on the railing of
the balcony he was on before he would hop it the railing and sit on it. He
looked up to the stars and the raising moon. He turned his head to the side
hearing music play as he watched a large cake roll past the window. He would
humph lightly before looking back up to the sky.
A young girl dressed in a black gown with a golden floral
design and a black and gold half face cat mask smiled as she managed to slip
out of the hall with two plates on to the balcony. She looked to the large
flourishing garden before she would walk over to Link JR. and bump his side
lightly. Turning his head he looked down to her as she offered him a slice of
the birthday cake.
”Oh thanks.” He hummed taking the plate taking a bite.
“This is good.”
“Yes I agree. So why aren’t you inside enjoying the
party?” The girl asked
“I don’t care much for parties and gatherings.” Link Jr.
sighed softly before looking to her. “So what is your name?”
”Me? Princess Zelda.” She removed her mask showing her
beautiful blue eyes. “So what’s your name?”
”I am sorry your highness.” He would offer a nod of the
head “My name is Link, like my father.”
“No need to be formal.” She smiled to him “You seemed
lonely so I thought I would come out and give you company.”
“Thanks.” He looked through the window to see his father
dancing with the queen. “Well at least our parents are having fun.” Giving a
smirk, he gestured to the window.
“Hmm, I yea.” Zelda looked down.
Link Jr. spun and slid of the railing so he was standing
next to Princess Zelda as he would extend a hand to her with a bow. She would
look to him and give a soft giggle before taking his hand. He would twirl her
and pull her clothes dancing with the song that filled the area.
When the song stopped, they stopped and he stepped back
looking to the princess. She would smile, step to him and move to one toe as
she kissed his lips softly with her own. Surprised, Link Jr. placed his hands
on her waist unsure to pull her close or push her away. When he made up his
mind she pulled away breaking the kiss blushing, before she would run inside.
Link Jr. was left outside alone for about ten minutes or
so before he was joined by many of the guests. His father walked over and patted
his shoulder before looking up with everyone. The men on the roof of the castle
started to light off the fireworks.
It was a beautiful display of colors, sizes, and shapes. The show lasted about
twenty minutes before the finally leaving everyone in awe. When the show was
over everyone went inside leaving Link, and his son as well as Queen Zelda and
her daughter. With a smile Princess Zelda bowed and thanked them for coming
before she would go inside to open the gifts she had received.
“Thank you so much for coming.” Princess Zelda chirped
before running inside
“Yes thank you.” Zelda walked over and looked to Link Jr.
“I heard today was your birthday as well and I would like you to take this.”
She handed a small box to Link Jr.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Link Jr. bowed to her in
thanks
“You're welcome, Young Link,” Zelda smiled heading
inside. “Please come visit us again, I know my daughter would love it.”
“We will Zelda, but we must be off we need to get home
before the Stalchildren take run of the field and we can’t get home.”
Link Jr. opened the box he got and pulled out a black
ocarina. He tilted his head a bit looking to his father who would just chuckle
a bit pulling his own out showing him. They both laughed before they would
leave and go through the town to the south gates, which lead to Hyrule Field.
They would start to run watching as Stalchildren pulled
from the ground before they were both caught off guard as four Stalfos
appeared. Link and Link Jr. were only a few meters from the Kokiri Forest and
their home in the large tree that Link lived in when he was young.
“Dad, what do we do?” Link Jr. moved back to back with
Link.
“Well, I guess now is a good time to teach you to run and
let your old man take care of this.” Link pulled his Big Goron sword and
slashed at a Stalfos and pushed Link Jr. away from them.
“Dad, NO, You won’t win.” Pulling the small Kokiri sword
he had and jumped grabbing on to a Stalfos he leaped frog over blocking an
attack with his shield before slashing at one himself
The father son duo defended and attack the Stalfos unable
to defeat them as they couldn’t get them all down before one started to revive.
Showing fatigue they both were slowing down as Link was struggling to attack
while Link Jr. started to block for both of them. Link Jr. quickly step putting
the shield over his father blocking one Stalfos but not seeing the one behind
them thrust an attack at them.
Link shoved Link Jr. to the side as the blade of the
Stalfos ran through Link like a hot knife through soft butter. Link Jr. tumbled
to the side defending off another attack as he looked over to see his father
get run through. Link’s face showed no emotion as he shivered a bit from the
pain before stepping taking his chest to his hand and falling back to the
ground, leaving the Stalfos to pull its sword back.
“…FATHER!” Link Jr. pushed the other off before running
to Link who was lying on the ground blood staining his clothes.
“My son, don’t let them kill you.” Link pulled his Goron
sword over to Link Jr.
Grabbing his father sword Link Jr. stood blocking an
attack before he would slash back as he wasn’t going to give up nor die unless
he was taking them all with him. Tears filled his eyes as he burned with hate
and sorrow, his fatigue was gone. Within a few short moments after taking his
father’s sword all the Stalfos laid on the ground burning. Link junior’s rage
fueled his body with immense speed and strength.
Walking over to his father and dropping to his knees next
to him. He would place a hand on his chest trying to stop the bleeding. All the
while he was fighting not to cry and show his sorrow.
“My son, you fought so well.” Link gave a faint smile “I
wish I could have taught you just a few more things.”
“Dad, you will be able to, don’t worry you will be fine.
This is nothing; you’re the man that saved the land of Hyrule.” Link Jr. was
losing his battle with his tears
“Link, listen to me. I guess you are old enough to know,
you are not my son.” Link coughed up a bit of blood his body struggling to stay
alive. “You are Queen Zelda’s son.”
“What are you talking about? You raised me you’re my
father.” Link Jr. looked down in disbelief crying a bit more.
“Listen, Princess Zelda is my child as you’re Queen
Zelda’s child. We swapped you two so there would be an heir to the thrown and
so you wouldn’t be killed.” Link closed his eyes. “I don’t regret doing it or
telling you. Just promise me you will live long and happy life, take my weapons
and my tunics. Be a hero yourself.”
Link clenched his fists as he felt the bitter cold breath
of death on his body. Giving one final smile and hug to his son he would slip
off the land where the hero’s from the past rest as he had earned his place.
Link Jr. would start to cry unable to stop as his only family he had was now
gone. The sun was rising like every other day, like nothing was wrong with the
world.
A few days later, word got around and everyone in the
land of Hyrule and Termina gathered in the vast field in front of the Hyrule
Castle. To give their blessing to the young man that saved their lives and
homes. Everyone was full of grief as they watched Queen Zelda walk giving
her final good bye and bless the body before he was buried. Everyone left
quietly leaving Queen Zelda, Princess Zelda, and Link Jr. to mourn a bit
longer, for a lost dear friend and father. Stepping over Link Jr. placed his
father’s ocarina in his hands and closing the ornately carved coffin lid.
Running his hand over the Royal Triforce seal he would drop to his knees,
letting his tears fall freely. Queen Zelda went to him and held him tightly to
comfort him as the coffin was lowered in to the ground and buried
