To Love You Is to Hate You
Chapter Two
 
Link had finally arrive to Kokiri Forest and looked around.
`Hmm, I wonder where the Deku Tree i—nope. I see where this is going to end up.'
Link approached a small boy half his size. His name was Mido; he had orange hair with blue eyes, his chin thrust forward as he eyed Link with suspicion and curiosity.
“What do you want, foreigner?” he asked in his naïve way of speaking.
Link looked passed Mido and out to the pathway.
“The holder of the Emerald,” he said and pushed passed the Kokiri boy.
 
“What do you mean you won't give it to me?” Link shouted at the tree.
“You are the Chosen One, yes… but there is something different.”
Link sighed, annoyed.
“Alright… I am the Chosen One. I wish to save the world from this Evil. Can I have the Stone I am supposed to get?”
The Deku Tree looked at the blond.
“Yes, here,” he said, handing the stone to Link.
“And use it against the Evil.”
Link received the Kokiri Emerald.
`Father will be pleased,' Link thought as he left the forest on horseback.
 
“Father, I've the Stone of the Forest for you.”
The King of Evil turned around to face his son.
“Good job my boy,” he said, taking the stone from Link.
“Now you must get the second one.”
Link looked at the man with a questionable look on his face.
“You mean the Goron Ruby up on Death Mountain? --Well Death Mountain is in Kakariko Village… and on the top of the mountain is Goron City. You must meet Darunia. Once you have it, bring to me.”
Link bowed his head.
“I will make you proved, Father.”
Link left, mounting Eskai and riding off towards his next destination: Kakariko Village.
 
Sheik saw the boy on the back of a horse and rode after him, his platinum hair blowing behind him.
He eventually rode along side the young Hylian's horse and questioned him.
“Why do you want that Stone, boy?”
Link spurred the horse, urging it to go faster.
“That is none of your concern!” Link said, trailing into the distance.
“But if you must know, it is for my father, Ganondorf.”
Sheik gasped. Could this be the child in his dream?
Whatever the case, this can't be good.
 
Meanwhile, Link was away and halfway to Kakariko.
There was no way Sheik could stop him.
 
When Link arrived at the foot of Goron City, he saw many tunnels and doorways. On the contrary, Link saw a LOT of doorways and tunnels, most of them under construction.
“How in the name of Din am I supposed to know where Darunia is?”
By instinct, he went through the middle door, knocking briskly, and then entered.
 
What he saw was a large rock-like being hunched over a desk.
“Uh, excuse me, Darunia?” the Hylian asked, nervous because of the look of frustration on the Goron's face.
“I kind've need the Goron Ruby… I-I am the Chosen One… the one to stop Evil…”
The Goron looked up at him and smiled.
“So it is told, Hero. Alright; I will give you the stone you seek.”
Darunia's hands made some funny movements and there appeared the Ruby of Fire.
Darunia handed it to Link.
“Good luck on your journey, young one.”
Link nodded and left.
 
Link was riding along the bank of the Zora River when he overheard voices.
“… So, where do you think the stone of Water is?”
“… I'm sure Master would've told his own flesh and blood that, you silly twit. Isn't it at Zora's Domain along the River?”
“I hear it's in Lord Jabu Jabu, the Fish Deity of the Zora. Maybe someone can help the poor princess feed the fish, heh heh heh.”
With that bit of information, Link spurred Eskai, and they were off.
 
“Thank goodness you came, hero,” the king, Zora VI, said, pacing the throne room frantically.
“She's my only daughter, you know. I'm afraid Lord Jabu Jabu has gotten sick and ate my daughter. No one can save her.
“That is until you came along.”
Link nodded.
“I will try my best, your highness, to rescue your daughter. I will be back,” he said, leaving.
 
When inside, Link realized he had no clue what he was doing.
“Goddess, what the heck was I thinking? … No, I must get the stone for my father; I will not fail!”
He wandered around until he came to a Zora, arms crossed, in the middle of the room.
“There you are, princess. It is time for you to come back, don't you think?”
The Zora shrugged.
“I suppose so. I just defeated some… thing. I am ready to go back.”
They left, but not before he received the Spiritual Stone of Water.
“Thank you so much, hero. You rescued my daughter. I might want to know your name incase this happens again? I could send for you.”
Link froze.
“M-My name?”
“Yes, your name. You DO have one, don't you?”
“Yes, of course. Where I come from they call me… well, Link. Link Dragmire.”
The Zora king froze. Ganondorf Dragmire's son? Doing good deeds? Unheard of with a Father like that.
No matter. His daughter was saved. It didn't matter that much.
“Yes, Prince Dragmire… I will be sure to call upon you again.”
Link bowed and left.
 
“Father, I am home!” Link shouted, walking down the hallways, his footsteps echoing off the walls.
Ganondorf came to greet him.
“What took you so long?”
The smile vanished from Link's face.
“I was getting the stones, like you asked for.”
He brought the Ruby and the Sapphire out of his pouch and showed them to his father.
“You went the extra mile and got the other one. Excellent, I knew I raised a son like me.”
Link smiled, finally able to please his father at something.
“All you have to do now is get the Ocarina of Time. Now, I am going to a meeting with her father, the King of Hyrule. We're good friends. Meanwhile, you and Zelda could get to know each other.
“In other words… pretend you're saving the world. From me.”
Link nodded.
“I will come home with the Ocarina, and I will make you the proudest man alive.”
`That's my son,' Ganondorf thought. `And it's all because I raised him instead of his real father.'
With that, Ganondorf laughed.
 
Link was in the courtyard, away from his father, though able to hear a word or two from the window near by.
“So,” the princess said, picking imaginary lint off her dress and straightening the folds out of her skirt.
“How's Gerudo Valley like these months?” Zelda asked, knowing it was completely random.
Link shrugged. “Fine. How's Hyrule?”
“Same.”
“So… I'm fighting this evil… and I have the three stones. I need something else, though, I can feel it.”
Zelda looked at him.
“You're fighting Ganondorf? You'll need the Ocarina of Time, then. Here, I'll give it to you… after I teach you an important song.”
She went to a pouch she had a long side the fountain and rummaged through it, determined to find that blasted Ocarina.
 
“Found it!”
She held it up as she sat down on the lush green grass.
“It's called the Song of Time. It will help you on your journey.”
She started playing.
“You'll remember it, I hope.”
Link nodded.
“Of course I will.”
She handed him the Ocarina.
“Take good care of it, and don't let it fall into the wrong hands.”
He nodded.
`Oh I won't, princess. Heh heh,' he thought, knowing fully what he was getting himself into.
