In the high misty mountains of Japan, a lone shack sat at the peak of one of the mountains.

Inside said shack, was a green-haired boy, fumbling with his radio while holding his microphone, and the buzz of radio static filled the tiny room.

"*Radio Static* Aah, there we go, what's up everyone! It's ya boy Link, back here with another live radio stream, and today. . . . I'm gonna be serious with you."

Link slumped into his chair, as the glint of a sword was briefly seen in his cloak.

"This world is messed up, I mean, my daily radio talks can only do so much. . .  'No matter how many camps I raid, it never stops.' unless we do something. "

Link gritted his teeth as he held the microphone tightly.

"I want every single man in this world to rally yourselves, go up to the highest point in your location and shout that you want to be free, if any female stops you, then push through, or die trying!"

Link stood up, placed on his cloak, sheathed his blade and equipped his shield that bore the crest of an ancient civilization.

"We shouldn't be allowed to be treated like this, not when we're the only things, stopping the human race from dying."

Link turned off the radio as he exited the shack, he stared at the rising sun as he secured his sword and shield.

He pulled up his hood, covering his green hair, and put on a mask that had an eye symbol that had a teardrop.

"It's time; time for our freedom."

I would never thought the worst thing to ever happen to me will also the time I meet the love of my life... ... It was a sunny day in a city of Tokyo, everything seemed normal until my phone started beeping. An earthquake. It was a magnitude 7. Everything was shaking, things were falling of the shelfs. It went like this for a while before it finally stopped. Nezuko, my younger sister, went to the window to look at the damage it made. Her eyes widened, there was a huge hole in the ground, surrounded by people. Something started crawling out of the hole, it didn't look like normal people, they were bigger, a lot bigger than normal people. They were looking odd, some without lower body parts, some without eyes, some without their arms. Soon they started attacking everyone, screams and blood was everywhere. There was chaos everywhere, everything turned into a disaster in a matter of couple minutes. No one knew what that things were, why they came out of the ground, how long have they been there and why they decided to come out now. I was shocked, shaking in fear, wanting this to be only a dream. Before I could do anything else, groans and screams spread through the building. We knew we couldn't stay there any longer, we needed to find shelter or ask someone for help. We didn't have weapons or anything. We just ran for our lives in hopes for the best to happen... "HEY, OVER HERE!" I turned around to see a tall guy with mohawk and a short long haired male next to him. Muichiro Tokito... Why did we have to meet at such a terrible moment... Why did the fate decided to get us together at such a disaster...

"Princess!" he yelled after her. "Where are you going?" "Back to the castle," she replied without stopping. "Not by yourself you're not!" "I'm sorry,"-she whipped around-"I didn't realize you were my father?" "Your father, the king, would execute me for letting you travel by yourself." "Oh, so this is about self-preservation?" "Yes. Yours. There are monsters all over Hyrule now, Your Highness." Blue eyes pointedly looked her up and down. "And by the looks of it, you're not equipped to handle that." She mirrored his scrutiny and scoffed. "What, and you are?" She gestured to the cairns beyond the trees. "Are you going to protect me as well as you protected them?" Calamity is upon Hyrule. The Goddess Hylia appointed but two children to prevent the end of the world. The powers they were promised don't come easily, and after years of outright failure, Princess Zelda can't help but wonder if Hylia chose wrong. It certainly doesn't help that the boy fate has tangled her with makes her seethe. Devotion, heartbreak, inadequacy. Faith, perseverance, and courage. This is a story of finding what lies within.

!STORY IS IN ENGLISH! --very rarely going through and editing out some of my awful grammar and just making it more readable.-- I've no more inspiration/motivation for this story. This will not get anymore updates. Stories aren't great, I wrote them when I was like 16 or something. [[My Quotev story that I moved here @ThatSleepyBoi]]
