All in this fic doesn’t belong to me!

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Mido and Link finally made it to were the laughing came from.

“What in the!?” Mido exclaimed.

“A lake in the middle of the forest?” Link asked, “that wasn’t there before.”

“Because it wasn’t,” answered Mido, “Dark Link must have made it. Dark!”

“Mido!?” they herb someone ask.

“Yes it’s me!” Mido shouted back, “Do you mind coming down here for a moment!?”

Link watched as Dark made he’s way down a tree. Dark came running up to Mido.

“Do you like the lake I made?” Dark asked, “Woe! You’re a bit small to be a hero, aren’t you?”

Dark bend down to Link.

“Why do they always say that!?” Link asked himself while storming off.

Dark looked back at Mido with a puzzled look.

“He gets that a lot,” answered Mido, “Now about your lake-”

“Do you like it?” Dark asked cutting Mido off, “I made purified water to put in the hole.”

“About that,” said Mido, “It’s not exactly pier.”

“What do you mean?” Dark asked looking at his lake, “it looks pier to me.”

“Here,” said Mido getting his water canteen out.

Mido pored a little water in the palm of his hand. Dark blinked a few times then looked back at his lake. He noticed that his lake was a bit blacker then the water in Mido’s hand.

“It’s making the plants sick isn’t it?” he asked.

“Yes,” Mido answered.

Dark looked down at the ground.

“Sorry,” he apologized, “I was just trying to impress you.”

Mido made Dark look at him.

“And you did,” said Mido giving him a hug, “but I’m still not interested.”

“Damn,” Dark said hugging Mido back.

They pulled away.

“I done told you I can’t heal your wounds,” Mido said, “They are far too deep and have been open for far too long.”

Dark sighed. He looked over at Link, who was still foaming.

“I still can’t believe he’s a hero,” Dark said.

“There is only one way to find out,” suggested Mido.

“He doesn’t have the Master Sword,” said Dark, “that blade he has now won’t hit me.”

“It’s in the ocean dear,” informed Mido.

“Oh,” was all Dark said.

Dark reached out his hand. A long line of water quickly released and headed to the ocean.

“Hey Link!” Mido called out, “do you mind coming here for a minuet or so!?”

Link walked over to them.

“Yes?” he asked.

Dark’s line of water ended and dropped the Master Sword in front of him.

“Do you mind fighting Dark?” Mido asked.

Link looked at Dark.

“I don’t know,” he answered.

“Come on little guy,” said Dark.

Link’s eye twitched.

“Oh it’s on now,” he said in an angry tune.

Link picked up the sword and got in a ready stance. Dark smiled and did the same. Water came up to his right hand and formed s dark version of the Master Sword.

“All right,” said Mido backing away from the fighting area, “three hits to Dark and the fight ends. Begin!”

Link charged a head. Dark put up his shield. Link hit it and back flipped away.

Damn, Link thought, I guess frontal attacks won’t work.

Dark swing and Link dodged. Link vertical swing and Dark mimicked it. Link did a horizontal one and, again, Dark mimicked it. Link, getting frustrated, did a spin attack. Dark jumped on the blade. Dark swang his blade again. Link brought his shield up. Dark hit it and jumped off.

So he mimics and jumps on my sword, Link thought, How can I-wait! Maybe I could…yes that might work.

Link pulled his blade up for a vertical attack. Dark snorted and prepared his own blade for the same attack.

There! Link thought.

Link then switched attacks to a stab. He got Dark in the stomach.

That’s one, Link thought.

Dark pulled away and held his stomach. Link then noticed that it was blood, not water, that was dripping out.

So he can pick up thing in a blink of an eye, Dark thought.

Dark stood up and charged at Link. Link tried to do the same combo again, but Dark blocked it.

So the same attack won’t work twice, Link thought, time to change it up.

Link set up another vertical attack. Dark prepared to block the stab, but Link did a horizontal attack, getting him across the chest. Dark groaned in pain.

That’s two, Link thought.

Dark looked at him angrily.

“Dark!” Mido yelled at him.

“I know!” Dark yelled back.

Dark charged yet again. Link, this time, got ready for a stab. Dark tried to block, but fail to see the vertical strike to his left leg.

And that would be three, Link thought.

Suddenly a tiny flowers popped up and bloomed. Small light balls came out and headed to Dark’s wounds and healed them. Mido came up to them.

“That was a great fight,” said Dark, “one I haven’t had in years.”

Link smiled. He handed the Master Sword back to Dark. Dark did the same thing as he did before to send it back. Birds started to tweet. Mido listen to them.

“It seems your boat is ready to leave,” he said.

“Aww,” Link said, “All ready?”

Mido giggled and patted him on the head.

“You can come and visit any time,” he said.

Link smiled again. They made it back to Forest Haven. Both Mido and Dark waved goodbye to Link with the rest of the Koroks.

“They don’t make hero’s like they use to,” commented Dark.

“What you mean?” Mido asked.

“The past two have been kids,” answered Dark, “I wish the next one to be at least if not, older.”

Mido smiled a little and looked to the sky.

“That would be the day,” he said, “Huh?”

The clouds parted a little ways to show the shape of what looked like to be a cross from a male Hylia and a red bird, flying in the sky.

“What?” Dark asked.

“Oh nothing,” answered Mido with a bigger smile, “come on. Let’s go back home.”

With that they went back into Forest Haven’s woods. Both hoping in the next 100 years a new hero would be taller and older.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Sorry if it seems rushed, XD I really wanted to get to next era because I have evil plans for it >:3 Any who, yes I still suck at fighting scenes. By the way, I found an online grammar checker and trying it out on this chapter. Let me know if it’s working or not.

All in this fic belongs to Nintendo.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Evil laughter could be herd through the entire forest. A man in a black tonic with brown hair and red eyes emerged from the water. He smiled big at his handy work.

“This will surly bring Mido here,” he said to him self, “then I can impress him by healing he forest. Yes that sounds like a good plan.”

he laughed again.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Mido and Link were almost half way through the forest when they herd another laugh. Mido narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t tell me he did all this?” he asked himself.

“Who?” asked Link.

“Dark Link,” answered Mido.

“A Link that is dark?” Link asked a bot confused.

“Here let us take a break and I’ll tell you his story,” answered Mido.

Link nodded in agreement. They both sat on the ground and ate little of the food they packed.

“It started 300 years ago,” started Mido, “back then the Triforce was pieces you could carry. There was a Zelda and a Link as well. This Link was once a hero and had fallen in love with his Zelda. Though his appearance was different.”

“How so?” asked Link.

“Instead of the usual blond hair and blue eyes,” answered Mido, “he had brown hair and eyes. Here let me start when thinks went bad for him.”

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

it was a beautiful day in the old kingdom of Hyrule. A brunette Link was walking down the hall to the library, humming to himself.

I can’t wait to show Zelda what I’ve done, he thought.

Laughter could be herd at the library. Link gave a confused look.

Who is in there with her? He asked himself.

When he got to the library he open the door. There stood Zelda with a man dressed like a royal. They turned and looked at Link.

“Oh speak of the devil,” said Zelda, “Lanayru this is Link. Link this is my fiance, Lanayru.”

Fiance!? Thought Link.

Lanayru extended his hand.

“It’s a honor to meet you,” he said.

Link put on a fake smile and shook his hand.

“Same here,” Link said.

“Was there something you need, Link?” Zelda asked.

“No,” answered Link, “was just wondering what was so funny, that’s all.”

“Oh I was telling Lanayru about the time you got turn into a frog,” said Zelda.

Link nodded and bowed.

“I’ll take my leave then,” he said.

“Link,” Lanayru called out, “would you mind joining us for dinner tonight?”

“Sure,” answered Link before he left the room.

When the door closed he ran to the tower. There he laid on his bed in thought.

A fiance, he thought, you would think she could have warn me…wait she knows my feelings for her, could she have been toying with me? No, she could have forgotten. She’s forgetful like that. You’ll see. Everything will be the same.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

everyone was seated at the table talking and eating with each other. All except Link. He would glance at Lanayru and Zelda in the hopes that one of them would notice him and have him join their conversation. Nothing. He was a little more then half way done with his meal when he got up. Everyone looked at him. Link bowed.

“May I be excused?” Link asked, “I’m not feeling well.”

“Of coarse,” answered the king.

Link left back to the tower. He stood on the open window seal.

How could I think that everything was going to be fine? He asked himself, she didn’t even noticed me.

He looked to the ground below.

Just one jump and it’ll be all over, he thought.

He then looked to the mountains on his right. He’s eyes widen when he thought of something. He looked to the blue Triforce of Wisdom and the green Triforce of Courage.

It might just work, he thought.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

when everyone went to sleep, Link wrapped the Triforce piece in a blanket and successfully sneak out of the castle. He then got on a horse and went were he knew the entrance to Ganon’s lair was. The guards, upon seeing him, were at the ready. Link uncover half of the Triforce. When the guards saw it they gave each other a confused look.

“I come seeking to join Ganon,” Link told them, “and to give this Triforce piece to him.”

The guards looked at each other one more time before one of them lead the way, in the main chamber, Ganon stood in front of the red Triforce of Power, talking to it.

“Master Ganon,” said the guard, “You have a visitor.

“What is he doing here?” he angrily asked.

“I seek to join you,” answered Link, “and to prove that I brought you the Triforce of Courage.”

Link unwrapped the Triforce fully. He kneel at Ganon’s feet and reached out to give him the Triforce. Ganon study him.

“How do I know that once I grab the Triforce, a bunch of soldiers and Zelda won’t pop out of no where?” he asked.

“I came alone,” answered Link, “If you don’t believe me I can tell you the whole story.”

Ganon looked at him one more time before taking the Triforce. He summon another pedestal and placed it on top of it, beside the one of Power.

“You know giving me the Triforce deserves a reward,” said Ganon facing Link.

“I don’t need anything in return,” Link said.

“Oh but you do,” said Ganon, “for you see, you’re a bit too much in tune with the good side to my dislike. So I think you need a darker form.”

with a wave of his hands a dark fog surrounded Link. Link screamed out in pain and all to his hands and knees. When the fog lifted Link’s appearance changed (to match what he look like in OoT). He open his slitted, glowing red eyes and looked up at Ganon. Ganon laughed.

“Perfect,” he said, “on top of the look your belong is one with water. This means you can meld into water and are immune to pretty much everything.”

Link smiled evilly.

“Your first mission will be to get me the Triforce of Wisdom,” ordered Ganon.

“Of coarse my master,” said Link with a bow.

Ganon smiled at this.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

It has been a year and a half now that Link stay in the waters of the castle studying everyone’s patterns. Ganon kept on asking why he hadn’t gotten the Triforce. Which Link told him being patient is more awarding then rash actions. He had wittiness, to his anger, the wedding of Lanayru and Zelda and the birth of their son. But what did surprise him though was the fact they sent out a search party for him. The feeling of happiness didn’t last long. Today he sent word to Ganon to bring a large army and to announce the attack. Link looked to the gates when a horn sounded. Link watched for a little bit as the army of Ganon came running through.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

It was a peaceful morning when the royal couple awoke. Zelda picked up their son and started to feed him. Lanayru kissed her forehead and smiled. All of a sudden a horn blaired. Lanayru looked out the window and sighed.

“What is it?” Zelda asked going to the window.

“It’s Ganon again,” Lanayru answered.

Zelda looked out.

“That army looks a lot bigger then usual,” Zelda said in a concern voice.

“Maybe he finally got serious,” Lanayru said, “Stay here. I’m going to go help the guards down below.”

with a kiss Lanayru went off to put his armor on. Zelda looked back out the window.

I have a bad feeling about this, she thought.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Link made it to the tower in 30 minuets. With the remaining guards distracted by the crying baby, Link open the door ti see no one in there, but the Triforce of Wisdom. Link smiled evilly.

“Perfect,” he said.

He grabbed the Triforce and was headed to the door. He stopped when he herd plated feet coming toward him.

“Damn,” he said.

He looked out the window and saw the mote. With a wave of his hand a cyclone rose. He jumped into it as it gently put him down. He then ran through the forest toward the mountains.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Lanayru decapitated a Moblin that was getting ready to cut one of the soldiers in half. They nodded at each other before returning to battle.

“The Triforce of Wisdom!” someone shouted from the tower, “It’s gone!”

“They’re retreating!” a captain shouted.

Lanayru looked to the retreating backs of Ganon’s army.

“Damn,” said Lanayru angrily, “They were just a simple distraction.”

he then noticed something at the corner of his left eye. He looked and saw a black figure with something blue glowing in their hands. Lanayru gave chase. The figure, feeling like someone was following them, stopped. Lanayru got into a fighting stance. The figure turned around. Lanayru gasped.

“Link?” he named the figure.

He then noticed the dried up blood on Link’s hands. He growled.

“So you betray us,” Lanayru said.

“No,” Link said, “I was the one betrayed.”

Lanayru the stabbed Link where his heart is. Instead of blood flowing out it was water. Lanayru gave a stun look, which made Link laugh. Lanayru pulled out his sword and swing. Link jumped on top of it. Link smirked and lend over to him.

“By the way,” Link said, “how good was Zelda?”

Lanayru roared. Link jumped off.

“I hope you treasured your time with her,” he said.

Lanayru bear his teeth. Link then motion to the river beside them. Little water flew to Link. When he touched the water it took shape. Lanayru gasped. The water had turn into a blacken version of the blade given to the blessed one, the Master Sword. Link pointed it at Lanayru.

“You’ll find that it’s hard to best me,” Link said with a cocky smile.

Lanayru swing again. Link blocked it. Lanayru eyes widen at the chine sound.

So it’s real too, he thought.

They traded blow after blow, each time Link mimicked the same move. Lanayru did a vertical swing Link stepped out of the way. Link then stabbed him in the stomach. Lanayru dropped to his knees and held the wound. Link’s sword turn back into water and fell to the ground.

“Something to remember to your grave Lanayru,” Link said, “I will never. I will always be here watching.”

With that he walked off.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

“When Dark Link got to Ganon, he tricked him,” said Mido, “He killed Ganon. When he turn to take the Triforce pieces for himself, they were gone in a flash of light. The goddesses had taken them to place where they would be safe ’till those who are destine to have them…”

Mido grabbed Link’s left hand and lifted it. The Triforce on his hand glowed.

“Will be one with them,” finished Mido putting Link’s hand down.

“Wait,” said Link, “how do you know all this?”

Mido laughed.

“It’s best not know somethings little one,” he said petting Link on the head, “Come we have a shadow to find.”

With that they got up and walked farther into the forest to find the hero that had fallen into darkness.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

See I made this longer for you all 😛 anyways Lanayru is named after Lanayru the spirit. Which means the land is not named after the guy, but after the spirit. Something to remember in the future (Dark Link doesn’t know that). Oh yeah Dark Link fan girls there you go for a back story for him.

OoOoOoOoO

Link managed to climb to the ledge where he saw the wolf without alerting anyone. He pulled himself up. He huffed and puffed while looking back down. He backed up a little and looked ahead at the trail. He gasped. There sit the gold wolf staring at him. The wolf stood and ran down the trail.

“Wait,” Link said.

He ran after the wolf.

OoOoOoOoO

Mido looked at his reflection. He thought about the stories he heard about the stories he heard about a Hero of Man and some man that locked up a dragon’s power in a mask and called it Majora. He had seen the pictures of both which they too look like Link. Which, in Mido’s head, was impossible considering both lived long before his Link was even thought of. Even before his own people took the shape of Hyrulian children. These men were probably the one that was from the sky. This immortal Link. Mido learned about him. He was granted a form by the goddesses to sorrow above the havens and protect the land forever. The very first Link that never was recorded in writing like the others, but in pictures. Most forgot what they even mean. Mido pulled at his bangs.

Why did I give myself this? He asked himself.

He heard a bark. Mido looked up at the trail. Wolf Link was running down it. Wolf Link glanced back. Mido stood and looked over to see the small running form of the new Link. Wolf Link jumped into the bush and disappeared. Link stopped huffing and puffing. He looked up and saw Mido.

“Um, hi,” he said.

“Hello,” Mido said.

“Um I know this may sound crazy,” Link said, “but did a gold wolf run pass here?”

“Maybe, maybe not,” answered Mido.

Link gave him a confused look.

“This forest is known to play tricks on the mind,” clarified Mido, “You may see things that are true and may see things that are not. That’s why Korok never come this far up.”

‘Then why are you here?” Link asked.

Mido stared off in the distance.

“To forget somethings and to remember others,” he answered.

“Um alright,” Link said, “oh my name is Link.”

He held out his hand. Mido smiled.

“Mido,” he said.

He shook his hand.

“No offense Link, but you seem to be a bit young to be a hero,” Mido commented.

Link laughed.

“I know,” he said, “To tell you the truth I didn’t want to be a hero. All I wanted to do is save my little sister.”

“Hm,” said Mido, “That’s what the others said too.”

“Others?” Link asked.

“Oh an old man thinking out loud,” said Mido.

“Old, but you look to be 18,” commented Link.

Mido laughed out loud. He patted Link on the head.

“One thing you have to remember is that Kokiri live for a very long time,” he said.

“Link!” came a shout, “Where are you?”

“Your friends are looking for you,” said Mido.

Link started to head back, but he stopped and look back at Mido.

“Don’t worry,” Mido said, “We’ll see each other again.”

Link smiled at this and ran back. Mido waved. Wolf Link came out of the bushes.

“You lead him here on purpose didn’t you?” Mido asked.

Wolf Link nodded.

“You need someone other then me to talk to,” he stated.

“Teh,” responded Mido.

OoOoOoOoO

Link made it back safely. It was Makar that called him. He wanted to show him something that the Korok does as a tradition. Now he was headed to the Deku Tree with a lot of questions in his head like what a Kokiri is and who Mido really is. He walked up to the Deku Tree.

“I can see in your eyes that you have questions,” he said, “Ask away.”

“What is a Kokiri?” Link asked.

“A Kokiri is what these Korok use to be,” answered the Deku Tree.

Wow, thought Link, I wonder if he knows how far back that is. From there I can tell how old Mido is.

“How long ago was that?” Link asked.

“About 200 years ago,” answered the Deku Tree, “I was just a sprout back then.”

Link’s eyes widen.

Mido’s over 200 years old?! Link thought, But he looks so young.

“Then maybe you know of a Mido?” Link asked.

“Yes of course,” answered the Deku Tree, “he and another was specially created by my father before me to lead the Kokiri. They were best known outside the forest as the forest prince and princess for they share the powers of a Deku Tree.”

“Oh wow,” was all Link could say.

“You have met with Mido,” the Deku Tree stated more than asked.

Link’s cheeks want red with embarrassment of being caught.

“You listen well to what he says,” the Deku Tree said, “He’s old and wise as me. He does come down here be it that I summon him or to play with the Korok.”

“Or when I feel something is wrong,” said a voice from behind.

Link turned and saw Mido. He approached him.

“And something is very wrong,” he said.

Just then the ground violently shook. Everyone tumbled over.

“Link!” someone shouted from outside Forest Haven.

Link got up and ran outside. He looked around.

“Link you need to come over here,” It was Tetra.

He ran to her.

“What’s wrong?” he asked.

She pointed up ward. Link looked and saw strange vines wrapping around Forbidden Woods.

What is going on around here? Link asked himself.

“Corruption,” someone answered.

Link looked at Mido. He didn’t even notice Mido following him.

“Corruption?” he asked.

“Yes something in there must have done this,” Mido answered.

Or someone, he thought.

OoOoOoOoO

one page longer but still longer then the last one 😀

Now I wonder what has happen at the Forbidden Forest.

When the pain subsided, Mido’s form was the same as when the Hero of Time was still alive. He growled at the other two.

“I though you said he would look like one of you, Zant?” the 1st voice asked.

“I thought we got it right this time,” answered Zant.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

They have been riding for days and it seems they weren’t getting any closer to their destination. The stopped at a village 2 days ago. They heard a rumor there that Veran was in an abandon temple to the west. Mido was starting to go back to his memories of Kokiri Forest, when Puini all of the sudden stopped.

“What is it Puini?” Link asked.

Puini, eyes widen in fear, looked around wildly. Link and Mido started looking around too. Mido then saw a strange black beast that look like it came from someone’s nightmare.

“Over there!” Mido yelled while pointing at the beast.

Link looked.

“What is that thing?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” Mido answered.

Just then the beast’s head lift head and started to, what look like, sniff the air. It the turned to their direction and growled. It started charging at them. Mido took his bow out and pulled the string. I forest green arrow was there in a flash of light. Mido shot it. The arrow pierced through the beast’s head, killing it.

“Wow!” Link exclaimed, “Nice shot!”

“Thank you,” Mido said with a smile.

Which quickly disappeared when they herd more growls that sounded like the beast’s. They quickly looked around. They were now surrounded by lots of them. Mido got his bow ready while Link did the same for his sword.

All of the beasts started to charge. Link sliced and Mido shot. Just then one of them jumped and grabbed Mido off of Puini and ran off. Link looked at that direction.

“Mido!” he shouted.

He made Puini run in that direction in the hopes of finding and freeing Mido.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Mido was knocked out for most of the trip, but when he woke up he was in a ran down temple some where in the forest. He heard laughed.

“May may he is strong,” said a voice.

“See I wasn’t in the wrong,” said another, “He’ll be a perfect solider for you in your taking of Hyrule.”

“Why yes he would,” said the 1^st voice.

“Shall I turn him then?” asked the 2^nd voice.

“Why yes of coarse,” answered the 1^st.

Just then Mido felt a sudden surged of pain going through his body. He screamed. The next minuet he was out cold. The 1^st laughed again.

Link and Mido finally made it to the castle. They got off Puini and headed in. They were led to the same room as before. Zelda, Impa, Din, Nayru, and Farore were setting at the table. They all were looking at them.

“Sure took your time getting here didn’t you?” Farore asked.

Link smiled and shrugged innocently. Impa got up and went to Mido. She bent down looking at him, circle him twice. She then stared into his eyes.

“Um, hi,” Mido said.

“This is the forest prince?” Impa asked, “Looks a bit on the small side if you asked me.”

Link snorted and Mido gave him a death glare. Link shut up real quick.

“Can someone please tell me, why I’m getting called ‘Forest Prince’!” Mido shouted.

“I can explain that,” said Nayru standing up, “You see the Great Deku Tree, um the one that started the Link that you know on his journey, only brought life to two Kokiris with his power inserted within them. He stated that these two were to rule the forest. Mido, that would be you, the forest prince and Saria, the forest princess.”

“But Saria became the Forest ‘Saga’ not the ‘Princess’,” stated Mido.

“Yes, the Great Deku Tree didn’t count on that,” said Nayru.

“So what part does Mido play in getting rid of Veran?” Link asked.

Nayru sat back down while Din stood up.

“Listen,” she said, “With Mido’s power combined with your sword you can have the strength to kill her once and for all.”

“But I don’t know how to use them,” said Mido, “I didn’t even know I had them until today.”

“Oh don’t worry you’ll learn in time,” said Farore with a wink.

Mido looked unsure. Zelda giggled. Mido looked at her and tilted his head.

“Who are you?” he asked.

“Oh, my name is Zelda,” she answered, “I’m the princess over Hyrule.”

“That sound familiar,” said Mido.

“She’s the descendant of the Zelda that sent for the Link you know,” said Din, “And the woman over there is Impa.”

Mido turn and looked at the old, big lady in a red dress that he saw earlier. She waved at him and he waved back.

“Now we’ll give you a gift to help you on your journey with Link,” said Din.

Din, Nayru, and Farore held their hands in front of them in a small circle. In flash of light a bow appear. They handed Mido it. Mido looked at it closely. The metal beside the handle was a platinum white with gold trams. The gold trams branched out into gold X’s between the small emerald jewels. The handle itself was platinum white. The tip near the ends of the string was the same color. Near the ends it curled around another emerald stone.

“Wow,” was all Mido could say.

“You don’t need to worry about arrows for when you pull the string an arrow will appear in a flash of light,” said Farore.

Mido nodded.

“Why don’t I get anything like that?” Link asked.

“Because you seem fine defeating enemies with your own strength,” said Zelda putting her hand on his shoulder.

Link smiled at her. Mido looked away from them and to the door way out of the room. There stood a man who looked like the Link he once knew, but he was dressed in black and had brown hair and his eyes seem to glow red a little. Mido tilted his head and stair a little longer at him until the other Link turned and went right.

“Mido?” Link asked.

He looked over where he was staring at, but saw nothing. He looked back at Mido.

“Is something wrong?” he asked.

Mido looked at Link.

“No,” he answered, “ nothings wrong.”

“Oh okay then,” said Link turning back to Zelda.

Mido looked back at the doorway.

Who was that? That sure wasn’t the Link I know well, thought Mido.

Mido looked back at the others and went to Nayru.

“Is it okay if go out into the hall way?” he asked.

“Sure, but don’t wonder too far in the castle,” she answered, “We don’t want you to get lost.”

Mido smiled and said, “Okay.”

Mido made his way out and looked around, but saw nothing.

Let’s see, that other Link went this way, he thought.

He then headed to the right. After a while, he stopped.

He must have walked father down, but if go that far I’ll be lost….I should turn back, he thought.

Mido turned and took two steps.

“Leaving so soon?” someone asked behind him.

Mido turned his head and saw that it was the other Link. Mido turned around completely to be face to face with him.

“Who are you?” he asked.

“I’m known as Dark Link,” answered Dark Link, “But.”

He came close to Mido and grabbed some of his hair. He bent down to his level, putting him just a few inches from Mido’s face. He smiled.

“You can call me Dark little forest flower,” Dark finished.

This sent chills down his back, and they weren’t the good kind ether. Mido backed a way a little. He grabbed Dark’s hand and made him let go of his hair.

“O-Okay,” Mido said, “I think I should head back before the others start looking for me.”

“All right,” Dark said, “Just don’t forget about me, okay forest flower?”

He winked at Mido causing him to blush.

“O-O-Okay,” said Mido.

He then ran off. Dark smiled evilly.

Soon you will be running to me, Mido, when you realize that Link that has awakened you has no feelings for you. That would be the day I’ll take you as my own, Dark Link thought before he walked off in the other direction.

I always loved Dark Link and so I’ve decided to add him to the story >:3

Mido and Link were almost to The Great Deku Tree, when they heard some type of deep voice speaking.

“Are you sure you need him?” the voice asked.

“Who was that?” Link asked.

“I think that is The Great Deku Tree,” answered Mido, “But I’ve been asleep for so long that I don’t remember.”

Link frowned.

“Can you remember anything from a hundred years ago?” he asked.

“Plenty,” answered Mido.

This made Link smile.

“But” continued Mido.

Link frowned again.

“I’m not sure about my memories,” said Mido, “Lot of things had changed while I was asleep.”

“That would make sense,” said Link.

They finally arrived at The Great Deku Tree.

“Oh you’re back,” said Farore, “And you brought Mido too.”

“Said I would,” said Link with a smile.

“Mido it’s great to see your face again, my child,” said The Deku Tree.

Link jump and stared at the tree.

“And your’s as well Great Deku Tree,” said Mido bowing to it.

“Link it isn’t palight to stare,” whispered Farore.

“But but talking tree,” said Link.

Farore chuckled.

“Thank you so much for awaking Mido,” said The Great Deku Tree.

“Um you’re welcome…sir,” said Link mimicking Mido.

“Farore you never answered my question,” said The Great Deku Tree.

“Veran is a lot stronger than she was,” answered Farore, “Link needs the aid of the Forest prince.”

“Again with that title,” Link heard Mido whisper.

“If you are sure, then I will allow him to leave this forest,” said The Great Deku Tree.

“I’m very sure,” said Farore.

“Mido,” said The Great Deku Tree.

“Yes,” said Mido.

“You can leave the forest without worry,” said The Great Deku Tree.

“Thank you, Great Deku Tree,” said Mido bowing once more.

“Young Hero Link,” said The Great Deku Tree.

“Yes sir,” said Link.

“Please take good care of Mido,” said The Great Deku Tree.

“Don’t worry sir,” said Link, “I’ll take good care of him, like the Link before me.”

Link winked at Mido. Mido blushed and looked away.

“I have faith in you,” said The Great Deku Tree, “Mido The Spiritual Stone of The Forest is for you to keep. It will aid you in trouble times.”

“Thank you Great Deku Tree,” said Mido.

“Should we leave then?” Farore asked.

Link nodded. They walked back to Puini.

“Well, this seems to be a problem,” said Link.

“What is it?” Mido asked.

“I don’t think Puini is strong enough to carry all three of us,” answered Link.

“I can telaport myself back to the castle,” said Farore, “You and Mido can ride Puini there.”

“all right then,” said Link getting on Puini.

Link offered his hand to Mido and smiled at him. Mido blushed and took it. Once Mido was up Link lead Puini to the hollow log entrance. He looked back at Farore.

“See there Farore!” he shouted before he rode off.

They rode until they got to a small farm. Link look up to see the moon was in the middle of the sky. He turned and look at Mido.

“Yes?” Mido asked.

“It’s really late and I doubt anyone in the castle will be awake,” answered Link, “So we’ll sleep in there to night.”

“Wouldn’t the people living there be mad when the notice that they have to unwanted guess?” Mido asked.

“Nope,” answered Link with a smile, “I’m sure Grandma and Grandpa wouldn’t mind.”

“Oh so you’re related to them?” Mido asked, “That would make some sense.”

“Yep,” said Link keeping the same smile on his face.

He rode into the stable, got off Puini and help Mido off. They went into the house. Grandma and Grandpa were fast asleep. Link and Mido quickly went up stairs. Link let Mido take the bed while he slept on the floor. Morning came and so did a scream from Grandma. Link shoot up and look.

“Grandma, it’s okay!” he shouted, “He’s a friend!”

Grandma claimed down and looked at Link then back at a very awake Mido.

“You are sure?” she asked, “He’s dressed funny.”

Mido looked down at his clothes.

“I’m sure,” answered Link.

“Well then,” she said, “breakfast is ready.”

She walked down stairs.

“Well that was an experienced,” said Link.

He looked at Mido, who looked back at him.

“Hungry?” Link asked.

Mido nodded.

They went down and ate breakfast. Grandpa quickly warmed up to Mido, when he learned that Mido knew how to use a bow and could fire from very far away. After breakfast Link got up and Practice his sword fighting with his grandpa for a little while. When he came in and saw Mido staring at the picture of Raven.

“I saw Raven has caught your attention,” Link commented while walking over to Mido.

“He looks like Link,” Mido said, “Is Raven his real name?”

“No,” Link answered, “He never will tell me his real name. Though he did mention going to a secret forest just to see a friend.”

“Kokori Forest is a secret forest,” said Mido.

“Then maybe, his real name is Link,” said Link.

There was silence between then.

“When did you meet him?” Mido asked breaking the silence.

“It’s a long story,” Link answered.

“Well then,” said Mido turning toward Link, “You have plenty of time to tell me on the way to the castle.”

Damn I forgot that we were supposed to be back there, Link thought.

So they got things ready. With a wave to Grandma and Grandpa, they were off to the castle.

One day Link was at his house, helping his grandma feed the cuccos. His grandpa was out tending the cows when a Hyrulean soldier came riding up to him.

“Excuse me, but is Mr. Link in right now?” he asked.

“Yes,” answered grandpa.

“The princess wishes to see him,” said the soldier, “It’s of great important.”

“Okay, I’ll tell him,” said grandpa.

“Thank you sir,” said the soldier before riding off.

“Link!” grandpa yelled.

Link ran to him.

“Yes grandpa?” Link asked.

“A soldier came by saying that the princess wishes to see you,” grandpa answered, “And it was of great important.”

“When can I leave?” Link asked.

“When ever you get done helping grandma,” grandpa answered.

“Right,” said Link before running off.

Link quickly finished helping grandma. He got on Puini and rode to Hyrule Castle. He got off of Puini and went in.

“Mr. Link?” a soldier asked.

Link nodded.

“Please follow me then,” said the soldier.

Link followed him to the throne room. There, were Zelda, Impa, Din, and Nayru sitting at a table. Zelda waved him over. He walked to them and took a set by Impa.

“Link, we need your help,” said Nayru, “It’s seemed that Veran is still alive.”

“Oh great,” said Link, “Let me guess you want me to kill her?”

“Not alone,” said Din, “Farore is waiting for you at the entrance. She will be leading you to the one that is going to be helping you through this journey.”

“Okay then, if that’s all?” Link asked standing up.

“Please be careful Link,” said Zelda.

“Don’t worry I will,” said Link.

With that he went off to the entrance of the castle. Sure enough there was Farore waiting for him.

“Ready to go?” she asked.

“I’m always ready,” answered Link.

Link and Farore got on Puini and rode off. Link followed Farore’s directions. Half way through the field he began to wonder who this person that was supposed to help him was.

It never hurts to ask, he thought.

“Hey Farore,” Link said.

“Yes?” Farore asked.

“This person, do you mind explaining more about them?” Link asked.

“How so?” Farore asked.

“Like what they’re like, how good at fighting are they, etc.,” answered Link.

“Well, first off, it’s a boy. He is over a hundred years old, as for fighting experience I didn’t know,” Farore answered.

There’s got to be more than that, Link thought.

“Is there anything else about him?” Link asked.

“Well is one of the very few Kokoris that is left, and he was put to sleep due to a … well let’s just say he wasn’t him self for a while,” Farore answered.

“Great I’m going to be traveling with a sleeply old man with no fighting experience and of a soon to be extended race,” Link complained, “Oh nice.”

“Hey, you’ll be surprise with how beautiful Mido is,” Farore said, “Your ancestor fall in love with him.”

“That beautiful?” Link asked.

Farore nodded.

“Oh look we’re here,” she said.

They came to a hollow tree trunk like entrance. They went in and walked so much until they got to a clearing.

“Wow,” said Link.

There in the clearing was a village. However, no one was out due to it being nightfall.

Farore got off and walked a little way.

“Follow me,” she said.

Link followed to her to a big tree with a face.

“What the?” Link asked.

“This Link is the Great Deku Tree,” Farore answered, “And over there is the path you need to go.”

“What you’re not coming?” Link asked.

“Nope,” Farore answered, “You alone can awaken him.”

“Okay,” said Link.

Link walked the path for what seem like hours until he got to what looks like ruins of some temple. He went into many rooms looking for Mido, but couldn’t find.

“Damn where is he?” Link asked himself.

He came to the last door on the very top floor.

“Please be the right room,” Link pleaded.

Sure enough when he opens the door, there, on a stone table was Mido still asleep. Link went over to him. He took one good look at him.

“Oh wow,” Link said in aw, “He is beautiful, but how am I supposed to wake him?”

Link continued to look at him. He noticed a shiny green stone surrounded by gold in his hands.

“Hm maybe if I move it, it’ll awaken him,” Link said.

Link tried to move the stone, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Well now what?” Link asked.

Link looked at Mido’s face.

“Maybe I can do what that one fairy tail,” said Link, “perhaps I have to kiss him.”

Links lend down and kissed Mido on the lips. Mido began to move. His eyes open up and he looked at Link.

“Link?” Mido asked.

“Um well, yes and no,” Link answered.

Mido tilted his head to the side and raised an eyebrow.

“My name is Link, but I’m not the Link that you knew,” Link explained.

“Oh,” said Mido, “How long have I been here?”

“For at least a hundred years,” Link answered.

“That long?” Mido asked.

Link turned around.

“We have to go back now,” Link said, “Okay?”

Link didn’t get a reply. Link looked back of him.

“Mido?” Link asked.

“I hardly aged,” Mido said looking at his reflection in Link’s shield, “No one will recognize me.”

Mido looked down. Link looked into Mido’s eyes.

“Don’t worry I’m sure they will,” said Link.

Mido nodded.

“Now let’s go,” said Link.

So they left to go back to the Great Deku Tree.

For three weeks Link has been going around Hyrule, doing what was order of him by Zelda and now he just got a free week off. So he thought he could go to The Kokiri Forest and see how they were doing. He hasn’t been there since Saria awaken as the forest sage. When he passed the bridge and throw the hollow log like entrance he gasped. There was no one out. The forest was quiet. Link pulled out his sword and shield. He slowly walks farther in. Link looked around for monsters or anything out of place.

“Pst,” he heard someone from the right.

Link looked up the hill. He saw one of the know it all brothers barely out of the house motion to him to go over there. He ran over.

“Come on,” brother #1 whispered, “Hurry.”

Link got there and went inside.

“Thank goodness you’re here,” Brother #2 said.

“Why is every body hiding again?” Link asked, “I didn’t see any monsters.”

“The only monster here is Mido,” answered Brother #3, “Some strange looking men came and turned him into one.”

“Yah and they called him the “Forest Prince” too,” added Brother #1, “What ever that means.”

“Maybe the Deku Tree knows,” suggested Brother #2.

“Would he know where Mido is?” Link asked.

“Probably,” answered Brother #3, “But if you go out there be careful of Mido. He doesn’t know what he’s doing any more.”

“I’ll keep that in mind,” said Link.

Link left the house and head straight to the Deku Tree. He stopped before he got to the exit of the pathway when he heard a bloodthirsty screech from afar.

‘What in goddess’ name is that?!’ He thought.

Link looked around widely, but saw nothing. So he continues to walk. He got to the Deku Tree.

“Link,” he said, “I thought you would come. I’m sure you seen it. All of the Kokiri in their houses fearing for their live.”

“Yes, I have,” said Link, “Do you know where Mido is?”

“Yes,” answered the Deku Tree, “But your strength alone will not bring him back to his senses.”

“Then how?” Link asked.

“You must draw him here,” answered the Deku Tree, “I have the power to turn him back, but with a cost.”

“I’ll do it,” said Link, “I promise.”

I’ll do anything to bring Mido back, Link thought.

“Very well then,” said the Deku Tree.

The Deku Tree pulled up one of his roots and pointed to the left of him.

“Mido is deep in the forest that way,” he said, “Do be careful. He doesn’t remember anything, not even his own name.”

“I will,” said Link.

Link ran into the forest. Once he thought he was deep enough, he started to shout Mido’s name. But no reply was ever made. Link continued in deeper, but stopped when he hear the scream again. It scared him half to death by how close it was. Suddenly he heard branches snapping. Link slowly turned around to the snaps. His whole body was shaking. His bereaving was heaved. The scream came again, but closer. This time Link laid down on the ground and there he saw was a creature with dragon like legs and tail, hair like fire, and eyes that glow with thirst of blood. The creature didn’t notice him.

‘That’s Mido? What in Hyrule happen to him? Oh yah the strange men that the know all brothers mention earlier’, Link thought, ‘If I stay here then he won’t notice me and I’m safe. Wait I promised the Deku Tree I would bring him there. I have to show my self. I hope Mido recognizes me.’

Link stood up, but Mido didn’t notice him.

“Mido!” Link yelled.

Mido turned his head and looked at Link. Mido started to growl.

‘Oh that’s not good’, Link thought.

Mido then roared. Link started to run. Mido chased after him. Link ran ‘till he noticed a tree limb fly over his head.

‘What the?!’ He thought.

Another fall 2 inches away from his feet. Link looked up and saw Mido tear off another and through it at him. Link quickly ran, tree limb nearly missing him. Mido chased after him again. They ran ‘till they got to the Deku Tree. There the rest of the Kokiri were watching them. They all nearly ran for their lives when they saw Mido. Mido ran over to Link and started slashing at him. Link held his shield up, blocking every single one.

‘Thank goodnessI had my shield up or those slashes might have killed me’, Link thought.

“Link keep him distracted,” said the Deku Tree.

“I think I’m all ready doing that!” yelled Link.

Mido kept attacking him, not noticing one the Deku Tree’s roots wrapping around him. By the time he did it was all ready too late. Mido struggled to get out, but to no vale. The Deku Tree’s root glowed a green glow and Mido started to change back to his self. Once changed back the Deku Tree gentle put him into Link’s arms.

“Not far from here is the ruins of the wind temple,” said the Deku Tree, “Take him there. There should be a stone table, lay him there. I shall put a spell on him that will make him slumber ‘till the next hero named Link comes and awaken him. Put this stone in his hands. It should help him in the years to come.”

One the Deku Tree’s roots handed Link a green stone that had gold wrapped around it.

‘The Spiritual Stone of The Forest?’ Link thought.

“Wait,” Link said, “You said that there would be a cost for changing him back. What is it?”

“He will age very slowly and will have the ability to leave the forest,” answered the Deku Tree, “He is no longer in my care, but in the goddess’s.”

Link looked down at Mido one last time before heading out to the ruins of the Wind Temple. There, Link got to the room and laid Mido down on the table. Green lines light up on Mido’s body and dimmed down to nothing. Link stared at his face unaware that he was crying ‘till a single tear fall on Mido’s face. Link wiped his tears away.

“Forgive me Mido,” Link said.

He bent down he kissed Mido on the lips.

‘For you will never know have I felt about you’, Link thought.

“I’ll see you later then,” Link said.

Link looked back one more time at Mido before he closed the door. For many years ‘till his death Link came and checked up on him. Even brought his daughter once, but that was it. Mido stayed there even 100 years from now. Sleeping, waiting for the next Link to come and open the door.
