In an unknown area in the sea, a young boy, known as Link, was sailing with a very small boat that had a dragon's head. He didn't know here he was going or heading to, he was just sailing where the wind was going, not knowing what might lye ahead. He was alone to, this was because Tetra decided to give up on the mission, and the dragon boat did not speak to him again, probably because the King of Hyrule had done what needed to be done and can finally rest in peace.

Later that day, like the other days was a storm. Link had gotten used to it by now. After all, the last time he said goodbye to his Grandma and Sister was about a year ago. But this storm was different, it happened so sudden that it was scary, also it was stronger than any other one he had encountered in his quest to look out for evil and destroy it. The waves were so big that they looked like they were monsters; monsters trying to eat Link so he could be sucked down under surface. Link took down his sail and hanged on to the boat as it was thrown around like a toy car. Then, just as it started, it stopped. Link now looking around found why everything had stopped, a tornado was forming right on top of the hero's head. Link, now desperate was looking around for something to hold on to that would not make him go over board, but there was nothing to hold on to except the edges, which was not a smart idea to hang on to. Just as the tornado was about to pull the boat, Link prepared for the worst. The tornado pulled the boat to its mighty gusts of wind and it began to break apart. Just as that was happening, Link now was screaming as he was being tossed around by the mighty gusts of wind. Pieces of his boat were scraping his skin and making marks around his body. One of the pieces hit Link hard on the head and he lost conscious…for now.

When Link opened his eyes again, he was on land. His wounds were still there but it wasn't that bad. Then again, he does have a big bump on his head that hurts when he touches it. He got up and looked around his surroundings. It seems like he was by some shrine or something. Also he was on a beach. Knowing that he couldn't get back sailing anytime soon, he went in the shrine for the heck of it.

It was dark in the shrine.

"That figures." Link said to himself. He stepped inside the dark shrine just to see if he could see anything at all, but when he stepped inside, torches lit up the shrine startling Link. He got over it fast though, he was used to these things. He then started to walk around the shrine looking at the walls. They were made of marble and stone mixed together. Link then reached to a small rounded table that had a small yellow jewel on it. Link had not seen this jewel before, but he became interested in it for some reason.

"Interesting jewel, isn't it?" Said a male voice behind Link. This made Link turn around fast and pulling out the Legendary Master Sword. "Relax, I'm harmless." The person was wearing a black cloak with a hood over his head making it impossible to see its face.

"Who are you?" Link said putting the sword away seeing as how he does not have a weapon.

"…Do you want to know what this jewel is?" He said not listening to Link at all. He walked toward to the jewel not daring to touch it. "This jewel is not an ordinary jewel, it contains powers from the gods themselves. Only the person wielding the Legendary Master Sword, can take the jewel, for what you might ask? Well, for that person to protect it." He stopped for a moment and turned around, still hiding his face. "And the person that seems to be wielding that sword is you, Link."

"How do you know my name?" Link said still not trusting the person.

"…Take the jewel, and protect it with all your might." He said still not answering his questions. Link then walked slowly to where he was standing, he was now cautious of the man. "Do you not trust me?" Link reached where the jewel was. "Now take the jewel and protect it." Link started to have second thoughts, why was the cloaked man so eager for him to grab the jewel, how did he know his name, how does he know about the Master Sword? "Trust me." He said sounding very impatient. Link then put his hand over the jewel and grabbed a hold of it. He picked it up and looked at it, it then glowed like it was about to explode. Link felt strange, like if something was in his body crawling inside, he then felt pain all around his body. The pain was so strong that he was on the verge on blacking out. He then looked at the cloaked man to see he was uncloaked revealing what he was. Link then gasped on what he saw. The cloaked man was actually Link's true enemy from the beginning when he went inside that fortress. It was Ganon, but how? Link saw him turn to stone just like that, plus he was underwater too. The pain surging through his body was too much to handle now, he blacked out.

When Link opened his eyes again, he felt strange all over. He was still in the shrine, but there was something strange, torches didn't have any fire, but Link could see perfectly. He was now thinking on what just happened before he blacked out. It seemed quite obvious that Ganon had tricked him, but what was the jewel for… the jewel, where's the jewel. He sat up and looked around, the jewel was gone all right. Why would Ganon want the jewel? Link then looked down at his hands and stared wide-eyed at it, He had claws where his nails were supposed to be. He screamed, shocked for a moment, but then noticed that his voice was much deeper than before. How though, before he blacked out, he was normal. He then saw what seemed like shredded boot in front of him, he looked to where his feet were and sure enough, they were bigger and had claws at the ends of where his nails should be. His legs seemed bigger to and more muscular. He got up pretty quick like if he was spooked by a ghost. He then looked at his tunic, which was still on. His skin was the same color, but it seemed a little darker, when he tried to grab the Master Sword from his sword holder, it wasn't there. Ganon must have snatched it.

"NO!!!" Link yelled out loud. He then ran out of the shrine to the beach and looked around. He was desperate to get that sword back, if Ganon had it, then he wouldn't know how to stop him. Realizing it was no use; he put his knees on the ground and punched the sand that used to be once rock. After a minute, he got up and walked to a near river that emptied out to the ocean. He looked at himself to see he had red eyes instead of his natural blue ones, the eyes looked like of a snake would have, the rest of his face was normal though. He began walking around aimlessly, he doesn't know what happened to him, he doesn't know where Ganon is at, he doesn't know if any people he finds will accept him to stay in a town or a house. He doesn't know if he is safe now. What will the hero do now?
