The Legend Of Link

Fear

Mind boggling isn't it? A crusader named Link blessed with the Triforce of courage that couldn't escape the fact that he is a descendant of pass heroic Links and because of that his parents where hunted down and locked away along with him. A long time passed in the dark dungeon with candle lit hallways underneath the Shadow Realm's Hyrule castle.

"Food, boy." a guard said.

A couple guards threw some disgusting looking beige grub at Link. He watch as the guards walk away. Key and all. The grey rats with backbones sticking out added with ribs carved into their little grey bodies, scurried across the ice like floor and sniffed the aery looking grub. The rats scurried back to their home which was just a hole in the cement wall.

Link thought to himself 'How I'm supposed to eat that which even the rats look away in disgust, but I'm starving.'

The grub was out of his reach. Without food he could die, without water he could die, he could die without knowing even his name, and the fact he is a descendant of the most heroic men that ever set foot in Hyrule. At that moment he was skinny, dirty, angry, sad, and disgusted with himself.

'I don't know who I am. I don't know what I did. I've been here for as long as I can remember. Is it time for me to finely give up? Nobody would miss me.' those were the thoughts that ran though the hero of Hyrule's mind. Everyday, every hour, every minute, every second, he was getting closer and closer to giving up.

He heard foot steps getting closer to his cell which two Aeralfos guard. The dragon like creatures tightened their grip on their sword and shield as if they were afraid of who created the footsteps in the distance. A shadow being none like he's every seen before. A female with Hylian like ears, pale grey ceramic like skin, ice blue eyes, half shaved raven wired hair, and sliver beads pierced into the top of her left eyebrow. From little he knew about them he thought all of them were cruel males. She looked into Link's black colored filth infested cage. She saw the teenager in raggedy farm boy clothes covered in dirt.

"Your sure he's the one?"

"Eleanor, would I ever lie to you?" One of the guards hissed.

"You have before."

"But the past is the past." She rolls her eyes when she heard the guard say that.

The other guard unlocked Link's cell. She walked in, and bent down in front of the raggedy teen, she grabbed underneath his chin with her sharp pointed fingernails and inspected him. She was surprised that such a famous face was discarded and forgotten so easily. A guard threw her a sliver key covered in rust for Link's shackles.

"True, but trust me  you really don't want to get on my employer's bad side. Ever."

She removed the newly shined metal handcuffs off her belt. She very carefully removed his rust covered hand cuffs, inspected his restraint marks on his wrists, then Eleanor used her cuffs to restrain his hands behind him. She also uses a black cloth to blind him just for kicks. It didn't seem like it but Link was happy nobody had touched him or came to see him in almost two decades.

"Stand on you feet, Blondie!" Eleanor ordered Link.

Link stood up, he was a little of balance and tried to use Eleanor for support but she just let him struggle until he finally managed to stand up without falling. She lead him out of the cell, she stop by the entrance and handed each of the guards a huge sack of Rupees.

"where are you taking me?" Link tried to asked  nothing but a gasp of air exited his mouth. He had confused emotions of fear and happiness bubbling inside of him.
