The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time: A Twist of Fate

Chapter 1: The Girl Without A Fairy

So, there are some days being me is awkward. Apparently, the day that all of this started, was one of those days. Well, actually, I suppose it started years ago, when my mother left me in the Kokiri Forest and died before telling the Great Deku Tree that I was actually a girl. So I blame her. My name is Linkette, and I guess this is my story.

In the vast, deep forest of Hyrule, the Deku Tree has served as the guardian spirit.

The children of the forest, the Kokiri, live with the tree, each with a guardian fairy.

However...

There is one child who does not have a fairy...

I sat up that morning with a gasp, sweat having soaked my blankets. It was that dream again, with the girl in pink... and the man with evil eyes. And the storm. It was always raining in this particular dream... running my hand through my hair, I flopped back against my pillow... only to have a bright light shine in my eyes. Not only is it a light, but a little face within the light. It's a fairy. She grinned at me. "Link, wake up! The Deku Tree wants to talk to you! You're such a lazy boy! The world is supposed to depend on you?" Screaming, I bat the fairy away and fall out of bed. "You finally woke up! I'm Navi the fairy! The Great Deku Tree asked me to be your partner from now on! Nice to meet you!"

I untangled myself from my blankets, witch were wrapped around my legs, and pulled my hat over my hair. "I'm a girl," I grumble under my breath, tucking my feet under me while the little fairy flutters in front of my nose. With her hands on her hips, she continued talking to me without even registering that I had said anything. Like usual. "The Great Deku Tree has summoned you! So let's get going, right now!" I sigh and stand up, then head to my balcony.

"Yoohoo! Linkette!" I looked over the edge and saw my best friend, Saria, running down the path to my tree. I grinned and waved back before sliding down my ladder to the ground. Racing up, I hugged the other girl tightly when Navi flew up. "Wow! A fairy! Finally, a fairy came to you, Linkette!" Saria exclaimed excitedly. "Wow! That's great news! I'm so happy for you! Now you're a true Kokiri, Linkette!"

I liked Saria. She was the only one other than the Skull Kids who actually called me by my real name. I opened my mouth to start saying something when Navi interrupted. "Link, we have to go to the Great Deku Tree!" she said, hitting me on the head by flying into it. I shot her a glare when Saria gasped slightly. "Is that right? The Great Deku Tree has summoned you? It's quite an honor to talk to the Great Deku Tree! I'll wait for you here! Go see the Great Deku Tree!" I sighed again and started trudging towards the Great Deku Tree's grove.

As I walked, one of the other Kokiri girls called out to me. "Hey Link! Look up here!" she called, waving from the top of the shop. I looked over at the shop, and Navi flew over to the other fairy to say hi. I shook my head and looked at the Kokiri. "Now that's how to use a fairy! It's so great that you have a fairy now, Link!" I smiled as Navi finished up her business with the other fairy and flew back to me. I suppose it was good that I had a fairy. Maybe Mido would leave me alone...

Speaking of Mido, he was doing his usual "guarding" of the Great Deku Tree's meadow. I trudged accross the clearing and stood in front of him. "Mido, move," I told him, Navi having hid behind my head. Mido just stuck his fists on his hips, and sneered at me. "Hey, 'Mr. No Fairy!' What's your business with the Great Deku Tree? Without a fairy, you're not even a real man!" I was going to tell him again that I wasn't a boy, but Navi interupted by flying out from behind my head. "What? You've got a fairy?"

"Yes, Mido, Link has a fairy," Navi said, imitating his pose in mid-air. "And the Great Deku Tree summoned him!" She jabbed him in the nose. "Now move aside!"
