Link, a Kokori (a race of Hylians that physically stays a child) was different from the others. The Great Deku Tree and Saria were his only real friends- and Mido, the Head Kokori was very jealous. But, the most unique and curious thing was, even though all the other Kokori had fairies, Link did not. Until, one morning, The Great Deku Tree sends Navi to him. Together, they defeated the nasty Arachnid Queen Gohma that was sent by the Evil Lord Gannondorf to devour The Great Deku Tree for not handing over the Spiritual Stone of the Forest. When Link destroys the creature, he is gifted the stone, also known as The Kokori's Emerald. But The Great Deku Tree had horrible news.
Gohma had ruined him beyond repair. And, with his dying breath, he told Link and Navi to leave the forest (which Kokori aren't supposed do) go visit Princess Zelda.
Little did young Link know, he was destined to much greater things than any of the other "forest kids." He was to be the legendary Hero of Time. And he had to save Hyrule from the King of the Gerudo, Gannondorf, from engulfing the world in his dark, dark power.
In other words, a lonely forest kid got a fairy, tried to save a huge talking tree who died anyway and has to save that idiot bitch who can't keep herself outta trouble who so happens to be princess of the land and stop a crazy ass guy from becoming king.
Damn that Gannon.
Far in the future, Link and Ganondorf battle in broken world, a fusion of the 'child' and 'adult' timelines. Hyrule is ravaged and all inhabitants, even Ganon's minions, have abandoned their homes due to fear of Link and Ganon's conflict. A Demigod takes advantage of their weakened states and places power inhibitors on their necks, forcing Link and Ganon to work together.
This is an old fanfic from 2014. Keep in mind that this is not written as a thoroughly as novel, so this story does not have detailed descriptions of environments or senses. This is written as a plot synopsis/script for a video game premise. I have written this plot in such a way that it can easily fit into the far future of any Zelda timeline.
(I should mention that I do have a copyright on this plot, not all of the characters. Because the plot I have written can fit into any JRPG video game, I acquired a copyright by swapping out all of Zelda's characters, places and terms with other names. However, the Demigod (his personality and goals) is my creation as well (ergo, also under the copyright) since he is a character that is from one of my novels. I know that my plot would essentially be a Zelda rip-off as it is, so I would not sell it on that basis. I have a copyright on the plot just in case, so no one can just randomly try to steal it without giving me proper compensation.)
