A new day has dawned and Link, with his old rusty shield and sword, is ready to tackle this quest head on. With the way, Saria acted last night,
I think it would be best if we did not talk about this and you just leave in the morning,
Link was unsure whether he should try to comfort her before he leaves and say his goodbyes. As if averting his thoughts, he grabbed the rest of his gear. With his knife and now 800 rupees firmly attached to his garb he set out to face this quest and finish it so he could return to his childhood friend. Well, she was his only friend really, Saria.
Without wanting to make her feel worse, he sets off towards Hyrule field. While walking he decides to look at the map and determine where he should head next. Not halfway across the bridge, he hears a familiar voice.
"So you're not going to say goodbye?"
He looks up to find Saria standing there and she didn't look too happy either.
"Sorry, I didn't think you would have wanted to be disturbed"
Link was trying to redeem himself.
"From the reaction you had last night, I thought it best to do as you said and leave in the Morning."
Saria was now up in his face at this point.
"It doesn't mean you couldn't at least hope that I would be here to see you off."
She stepped back a bit but had a puzzled look on her face.
"It feels like this has happened before. Oh well."
Not even paying attention to what she said Link continued.
"From the way you acted last night, I wasn't sure that you would see me off. It seemed like you didn't want to say goodbye and that you were scared of something."
Saria became a little angry at that thought.
"I may fear for your life but that doesn't mean I wouldn't say goodbye when I need to. You can be so thick headed sometimes!"
For some reason, Link thought he heard a little chuckle underneath all that anger.
"Anyways, I want you to have this amulet. It may look like just a normal Kokiri pendant, but I can assure you that it has a bit of magic and will come in handy during your journey."
"Thank you, Saria. You are the only friend I've ever had. When I'm with you, although I'm not the same size as you, you make me feel like I am indeed a Kokiri. You make me feel accepted."
As Link was revealing his feelings, he started to blush. In the distance, they both could hear cheering. The whole village, excluding Mido, had come to see Link off as well. Neither Link nor Saria expected this.
"Looks like they see you as a Kokiri as well Link"
Saria had cracked the biggest smile Link had ever seen on her.
"Now go and save Hyrule. You are the only one that can destroy whoever or whatever is behind this."
With goodbyes and best wishes done, Link proceeded to walk off to Hyrule field.
Upon arrival, Link knew right away that what he saw was not the way Hyrule field should be. The trees and fields were dead. Nobody was found to be traveling on any roads. Our hero was beginning to understand why he was needed. Now he needed to know why he was chosen.
"It looks like it is time for the chosen hero of destiny to start his journey."
"Who said that?"
