slumbering hero

"link"

"link"

"link!"

"wake up..."

the young blonde-haired hylian opened his big cerulean eyes, but immediately blinked and squinted from the lack of use of his eyelids.

he lifted himself slowly, taking in his surroundings and carefully got out of the strange tub he was in. He looked down, and noticed that he wasn't wearing much but a pair of dark blue trunks.

"where am i?"

"why am i here?"

thoughts quickly went through his mind and he started to get overwhelmed. heck, he didn't even know his own name but according to this strange voice, it was 'link'.

the voice instructed him to walk over to a strange device that he felt he's seen before. he couldn't place his finger on it, but it was familiar somehow.

the voice went on to inform him that it was a 'sheikah slate' and it would help him through his journey.

"journey? did the goddesses send me to do work?"

he was then led through a door that revealed two chests before him. he hastily walked over, and opened them up. a shirt and pants. thank hylia.

the voice led him out of the peculiar building to a small cliff outside. he noticed that he was in some sort of ancient temple. the bright sunlight blinded him, but he desperately needed to see and feel the sun's warmth.

he ran out and stood at the edge of the small cliff. he breathed in the fresh and clean air and closed his eyes for a bit.

he did not think about anything in particular as he re-opened his eyes and took in his surroundings.

mountains. trees. hills. these things took up most of his view, until his eyes fell upon a castle. he felt something deep inside his heart. he recognised this feeling.

guilt. and frustration.

but a feeling of determination flooded his body and he felt confident.

for a reason he was not aware of.

this confused link, as he presumably just 'woke up'. he looked to his right, and noticed a person, sitting near a fire. his instincts told him to walk over.
