Who We Are; Zelink, Modern (The Legend Of Zelda)

A 'Behind The Scenes' 1/2

Heyo, I thought it might catch some people's interest to see a little bit of how I create these stories. So these are some of my notes, copied from Evernote and pasted here. It probably isn't perfect in the grammar department, but bear with me.

Hope you like the forey into what it was like trying to decide how this story would go. (it was so hard and I had lots of help from my dear friend Chelliegrace)

Comment if you have any thoughts to share :3

PS, I write in first person to myself... It's easier that way, ^^'

-_-_-

I think I have decided on what Link should be. Evil, good or in between. I'm gonna say in between.

Like how shiek was in ocarina of time.

Link doesn't have a family, and he was taken in by Ganon, or maybe someone who is trying to resurrect Ganon by using Zelda's soul... So that could be why Link saved her, because they need her alive.

Link has been having dreams for a while, about how he is a hero, about how is part of a larger story. A prophecy. he starts to see Zelda in his dreams, but he doesn't know why. he has served the bad guy all his life, that bad guy has taking care of him; so he thought. He begins to doubt that his master is right, he starts to believe that Zelda is actually really important.

He isn't told what his master wants her for,  he was just told that he had to keep her safe because they need her alive.

Or summit. I'll decide how much he knows when I write it.

As he interacts with her, his heart begins to change. He realizes he was wrong about her. He comes to see that their situation is all wrong. He knows that he is the hero of old, and that he has to work with Zelda, not with his master.

TIMELINE

So Zelda is a princess living in the time of Democracy for Hyrule. She meets a boy named Link who says he is her bodyguard. She believes him. Through the next week stuff happens
1. Five men try to kidnap her, Link secretly takes them out.
2. Link is trying to make Zelda more cautious so he (or someone else under the master) takes a shot at her, but he telepathically tells her when to dodge, so there is no harm done. But she's a little more freaked out now so she avoids any unnecessary excursions now. 
3. Link gets beat up at school by another kid named Link, Zelda intervenes.
4. Zelda gets Link to answer some questions so she can know more about him. It transforms into Link overreacting about their history, which Zelda believes in, but Link doesn't, because he doesn't believe in happy endings.
5. So what happened when she was warned to leave... There was the kidnapping plot for that day, because Link started to go a bit soft on her, so they thought they had to get her out of there before he had a change of heart.
6. Perhaps she gets in another fight with the bullies, but this time....hmm.... Maybe she gets into a new fight with a different person in the hall? And then that person either asks her out or corners her later?

Is this in the official story? I don't remember and I'm actually too lazy to go looking. If it's not, yay, enjoy a look at Link's backstory. If it was, hey, you can read it again xD

Bright lights, red and white, flickering flames, the smell of smoke. The screams.

As Link looked down at the graves of both of his parents and his little sister all of those memories returned to him. He was only eight when his house had burned to the ground, leaving him an orphan. He was never put into foster care though...no...

Link's eyes flicked over to the left of his parent's tombstones. There he saw his own name.

He was dead, or so he had been declared. And yet he was still alive... and kicking.

Having escaped the fire, he watched as the flames ate up his house... and it wasn't long before several men came and took him away with them. They told him everything was going to be alright... He wasn't sure his definition of alright was what they had done with him. He was raised to be an assassin really, not that he as any match against his master Maldus.

At the soft age of twelve Link killed his first person. He didn't really have any pride in that, but he was excited that his father was proud of him. Link grew up seeing Maldus as his father... not that he was really anything like a true father should have been. But he raised him like a student. A pupil. An apprentice... a servant, and eventually...a slave.

Link had never stopped to consider that the old stories were true. Sure, he believed in magic, but that was nothing compared to the absolutely ludicrous idea of Goddesses and chosen heroes. even though he bore the name of the hero.

Another thing he had never stopped to consider... was that Maldus was the bad guy.
