The Legend of the Hero of Twilight by MarkOfTheWolf230
6 parts Ongoing Mature
Link lives a peaceful life as a ranch hand in Ordon Village. He spends his days herding goats, helping the villagers, playing with the village children, and riding his horse with his friend Ilia. His life is quiet and simple, and that's how he likes it. Then, one day, everything changes. His village is attacked by monsters and his friends are abducted. As he chases after them, Link comes face-to-face with an unnatural black wall stretching across the forest. The next thing he knows, he's in a dungeon, and he's . . . a wolf? Rescued by an imp named Midna, and told of his fate by Zelda, Princess of Hyrule, he is thrust into an adventure against a dark force unlike any that Hyrule has ever seen. He will face countless obstacles and nameless evils, but he knows he has to try. Even still, a lingering doubt gnaws at him even as the dangers of power rear their ugly heads. How can light prevail when the shadows themselves are alive? This is a novelization of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. I have taken a few creative liberties in the process of novelization to try and ensure the story flows well and makes sense. I do not own and do not claim to own anything pertaining to Nintendo or the Zelda franchise. This is written in appreciation of the game's story and not to claim it as my own.

((read whole description to know what you're getting into xD)) There is a secret hiding in the nation of Hyrule. For centuries this land has been a democracy, but few actually know just what is going on behind the scenes. What use are the old tales when no one even believes in magic anymore? Zelda is a girl who lives her life trapped within the walls of her family's mansion. She only leaves to go to school, and there she meets someone who will quite literally change her life forever. ((Please don't swear in my comment section. If you do, I'll delete it. Hate speech, swearing, and inappropriate comments will all be deleted.)) WARNING; This story has only been partially edited and I cringe to high heaven reading it. I don't mind you enjoying it, so I'll leave it up but don't judge my writing by this book. If you can't stand it, like me, please head on over to Raising the Stakes, which I have put much more time and effort into and is a million times better. The Legend of Zelda is (c) to Nintendo.

Not two decades later, a young man with strange origins finds his path uncertain, as he learns he is a reincarnation of that same hero. Now, he must be the real hero among all those who have fallen.
