A Link To a Forgotten Past

Zelda slowly got up from her prison cell, looking shocked and holding in her ecstatic impulse to greet him. It had been years, so she was being careful. What if it wasn't him? She had to test him...

"You sound different."

"That's cause I am different." she paused for a moment, looking at him suspiciously. "It's been awhile." "a few years isn't awhile, Zelda." "You never called me that, you always called me 'Princess'." "It's been long enough Zelda, I think I should be able to call you whatever I want at this point." that did it. Link barely spoke. If he did, which was extremely rare and sounded weird since his hyrulian isn't the greatest, he would always call her 'princess'. However, Zelda supposed as he got older he would be able to talk, she had tried to teach him as a kid, but that didn't always work out so well. But that's why she felt this.. person... could possibly be him. "Your not Link." "Indeed I'm not, but I kept you going on till the end now didn't I?" his shadowy body moved from the prison bars a little away, but the light still hit the figure. "Who are you? And how did you know about Link?" not many people knew of Link's existence. He was a helpfully boy when he was young but even then he was just a kid that came to Hyrule every now again. Even the Princess he had worked so hard to save didn't remember the forgotten future and his heroic deeds. "Because, Like I said 'Princess', I only have a perfect 'knowledge' of Link. But I-" he stepped straight through the bars, having his body turn into some kind of black mist and regenerate itself back into Link's form. "I am a shadow of Link. I was created to help bring about the downfall of him. Since it seems he's so feared with his great sword skills and what not. This one, dark fellow, thought it a fantastic idea to use some of Ganon's handy work and bring me to life. Sadly, that's not how it's going to turn out." he smiled a wicked grin and walked toward her. Zelda was scared but held any notice of it in, she didn't want to look weak. She moved back a little though, but he got so close that there was really no room to move. He put a arm to the wall and leaned on it, enjoying the fact that she was still trying to look powerful. He put his face right next to her ear and whispered,

"Hate to break it to you, but your not as strong as you think you are."

she slapped him right on his face, whacking him away from her, then she stumbled, due to the chains on her being so heavy on her hand. She moved a step toward him then pulled her hand back and wobbled away. Shadow link laughed, getting up while holding the side of his face she had slapped away. "Ok... your not strong. But your gutsy." just then a weird looking creature, similar to a large walking pig, came up out of no where. It snorted and made Shadow link stop from moving toward Zelda, in a hostile attempt no doubt but was rather calm or cool with his actions. "hmph, what are YOU doing here?" he asked, his outrage showing slightly in his annoyed tone.

"Sire, -snort- the mighty one wishes to speak to you about the revival of 'you know who'."

"ugh, he can't be serious." He rolled his eyes, then fixed them on Zelda, "Isn't it enough he brought his spirit back already?" Zelda didn't understand what he was talking about, but something told her it wasn't good. "he needs you now -snort-, right now." the pig placed an ax he was holding and placed it on his shoulder. "Well, I guess play times over... such a shame. I wanted to get to know you a little. Since Link has such a unorthodox way of seeing you." he reached a finger up to her and she whacked it away, then scrambled with her feet to move away. He laughed again, but something told her he wasn't satisfied with there meeting. The laugh still ran chills up her spine, but she refrained from letting anything that made her look weak show in front of him, though it already seemed like he knew she was terrified. "All right, tell the dreamer I'm coming." he moved through the prison bars again. But before he left, Zelda noticed he had a bow and arrow, much like the ones Link used. She realized from what he said earlier that Shard, she supposed, had used some dark magic and made a dark link of some kind. She just needed to get one of those arrows too...
