1st Shard

[cantstopme]

Characters: Lil' Link and you!
Setting: Room 1-18 and both dorm floors.
Format: Either or!
Summary: Link freaks out and then freaks out a little more.
Warnings: None I think; will change if it happens?

[Room 1-18 and probably the hallway too.]

[Of all the ways Link has woken up before, this had to be the worst. First was the sleep paralysis; that gave him a good spook, since it's definitely never happened before. Only thing that equals paralysis in his mind are those stupid Redeads - but after gaining movement again, he already checked the room for those.
Thank goodness there aren't any. Yet.

But second was realizing, hey, this definitely is not anywhere he remembers being. Definitely, definitely not. This place is too... fake feeling to be anywhere on the Great Sea. So of course, he got up to check the room out.

And that's when he noticed the third thing - that collar clamped around his neck. Oh, this ain't good, no sir; it feels like something evil, and just looking at what he can see of it gives him a little bit of the heebie jeebies. Which means it must come off, and now.

So if you pass by that room or are lucky enough to be in it, you may or may not find Link with his back to the floor, hands clasped on what he can grab of the collar, and his little legs scooting him backwards across the ground like he expects it to help. It's probably pretty dumb looking.]

[Around the dorm areas.]

[Later, of course, is time for a little exploration; he's grabbed all he can carry out of his trunk, and he's making his way around to try and find the door outta here - which in his logic means "go around and open every door you find". So feel free to notice the little nine year old hero peeking his head into your room, there.]

How old are you?

[This kid can't be 17-18]

[cantstopme]

...

[Oops.]

... Nine.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He ruffle's Link's hair again.]

You're still young.

[cantstopme]

[HUFF.]

I'm not that young.

[And you screwed up his hat.]

Heroes aren't kids, you know; and I'm a hero, too!

[theherourherocouldbelike]

What have you done in your legend?

[cantstopme]

Well, uh...

I gotta start at the beginning, okay?

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He nods]

wee woo wee woo spoilers kind of

[cantstopme]

Well, see; it was my birthday and my little sister gave me her telescope, but when I looked through it I saw a big bird drop a girl in the forest on our island. I got a sword from Mr. Orca to go save her, but when we got out of the forest, the bird took my sister instead!
I travelled with pirates and got tossed in the sea, and a talking boat rescued me. We sailed and got the pearls of the goddesses so I could get the Master Sword so I could fight Ganondorf and get my sister, but it didn't work so we went to the temples to make it work again, and it did!
But we got my sister anyway. We found out that Tetra was Zelda and we had to protect her because she had the Triforce of Wisdom, and then we went looking for pieces of the Triforce of Courage, but Ganondorf had gotten underwater into Hyrule and took Tetra away, so I had to go save her too. The King stepped in and made a wish on the triforce, and it made Ganondorf angry, so he attacked us!

And that's when I stabbed Ganondorf in the head and saved everyone.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He blinks.]


...so....this Tetra.....


....was Zelda?

he is a /pro/ ok

[cantstopme]

Mhm. We didn't know it, but she was Zelda the whole time!

I like her better as Tetra, though; it's hard for her to be a pirate in a dress.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

Was she a princess?

[cantstopme]

Mhm. Princess Zelda; she was the heir to the throne in Hyrule, but the King kind of destroyed it, so she doesn't really get to rule it.

[There's a lot more to his story obviously, he just... needs to fill in the details.]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

I see.


I met a Princess Zelda a few days ago. But she seemed a lot older then you and she told me that other girls in her family were named Zelda so she could be someone else.

[cantstopme]

[He blinks a bit then, before his face slowly turns into an expression of "But what if she IS Tetra??"]

Are you sure? She... she's really mature for her age! It's really easy to think Tetra's a lot older than she is.

[A pause.]

She might be older than I am, though, I don't really know.

[theherourherocouldbelike]

She's definitely taller then you, in fact, she's only a few inches shorter then me.

[cantstopme]

... Oh...

[Yeah, that's not Tetra.

He goes silent again, then, not sure what to say now. He's not much of a talker, usually - you just got him on a tangent, you jerk. B(]

... So... If you're not the Hero of Time, what hero are you?

I'm the Hero of Winds, so you have to have a title too, don't you?

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He shakes his head.]

I'm just. A hero. I don't have any fancy titles like the Hero of Time or of Wind or anything.

[cantstopme]

Huh...

[He pauses again, before moving around him to look at his shield and whatnot.]

Where's your sword?

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He's quiet for a second.]


She's..... It's....


I left it in a temple.

[cantstopme]

[He pauses then, thinking...

And holds his sword up to the other Link, a serious look on his face.]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[He blinks a few times.]

I've seen your sword.

[cantstopme]

[Link quietly takes the other's hand then, putting the hilt of the sword in it and closing the other Link's fingers around it.

And then he looks back up at him, the same look on his face.]

[theherourherocouldbelike]

[Link tightens his grip on the sword, a weird feeling to hold it up to the sky while a jingle plays in the background almost overwhelming him, almost determined to take it. But then he smiles a little, loosens his grip, and hands it back.]

I can't take your sword.

[cantstopme]

No, take it. I can use other stuff to fight, it's okay.

All heroes need a sword, and you can borrow mine until you get yours back.

[He pushes the sword back to the other, and turns around to take stuff out of his trunk to show him.

His Deku Leaf, his Boomerang, his Hero's Bow, and of course... the Wind Waker.]

I'll be okay, see?

1/3

[theherourherocouldbelike]

...if you're sure.

[He felt bad taking his sword but the little kid seemed stubborn and set on this so...

He holds it out above him and poses heroically. You can almost hear a small "DOO DOO DEE DOOOOO" in the background.]
