//------------------------------// // Ponyville (Edited) // Story: The Legend of Zelda: Friendship is Magic // by MetalBrony823 //------------------------------// Link was walking with Twilight, Spike, and their friends in Ponyville, their home. Many ponies stared at Link, because they clearly have never seen a creature like him before. "I'm... not sure if I should be here." said Link quietly to the ponies and Spike. "At least, not in public." "Why not?" said Pinkie Pie. "They are staring at me, just look at them." Link answered quietly to himself and his company around him. "Nonsense, darling." said Rarity. "Yeah, they just need to warm up to you." added Rainbow Dash. "So, what other creatures are there in Hyrule?" asked Fluttershy curiously. "It's very fascinating, but I'm too hungry to even talk more about it." Link answered, clenching his stomach from growling. "I understand." said Fluttershy. "Oh! Oh! Oh! I know a good place where you can eat," said a really excited Pinkie Pie with a big grin on her face. Link chuckled nervously. "What might that be?" he asked "Sugarcube Corner." Pinkie answered. "Don't worry, it's not far from here." "Yeah, their cakes and desserts taste really good." Rainbow added. "Really?" said Link. "Well, I was thinking I eat something before desert." "That's fine, darling." said Rarity. "There is also a cafe not far from here as well." "Well then the cafe it is first." said Link. "Where is it?" "Just follow us." said Rainbow Dash. She, and the pony gang went to the cafe, with Link following behind them. After they eaten Link patted his full stomach as he was now walking in Ponyville again to Sugarcube Corner with these new types of strangers. "Thanks for paying the owner, Twilight." Link said. "You're welcome, Link." Twilight replied kindly. "Since you were hurt, I might as well help you eat something without you paying." The hero of Twilight smiled at her comment. "Ooh! We're here!" Pinkie exclaimed. As the group entered Pinkie's home, there were two earth ponies, a married couple; an orange stallion, and a blue mare, working at the concessions, and running the shop. "Hello." said the blue earth mare in a sing-song voice, that sounded like someone's cheerful mother. When she and her husband saw Link, they froze for a moment. "Oh. uh... who might this be?" said the orange stallion, referring to Link. "Hello, Mr and Mrs Cake. This is Link. He's new here." said Pinkie Pie. "Don't worry, he's very nice." said Fluttershy. Link walked up to them. "Please." he said to the married couple. "I mean you no harm." "Well, if Fluttershy says it, it must be true." said the blue mare. "My name is Mrs. Cake deary." she addressed "And I'm Mr. Cake, her husband." the orange stallion said after. "It's nice to meet you." Link said politely. He shook his hand with the pair, and they began to warm up to him. "It is a pleasure to meet you too- ah.... Link, right?" Said Mr. Cake, trying to remember the hylian's name. "Yep." Link replied with a smile "We'll, Link, would you like anything?" Asked Mrs. cake. Link thought about it, and asked "What kind of dessert do you have here?" "Oh, we have plenty; cakes, cupcakes, cookies, doughnuts, and many more." Said Mrs. Cake "A cupcake?" Said Link. Obviously, there were no such things as cupcakes, or doughnuts in Hyrule. Equestria seemed a little bit more modern than Hyrule is. "And what is a.... Dough nut?" "Are you serious?" Said Rainbow Dash in disbelief. "You don't know what a doughnut is either?" Applejack added. Link nodded a no in response. "We'll, would you like to try a cupcake?" Said Fluttershy The Hylian thought of it, and said finally, "yes, I suppose I can try." Pinkie Pie moved very rapidly in the speed of light to the kitchen and back, with a cupcake in her hoof. It looked delicious with pink icing on it, and it was chocolate. "Try it!" Said Pinkie excited. Link took the cupcake and took a bite, very slowly. He chewed it, a d in a few seconds, he really began to like the taste. "Why aren't any of these in Hyrule?" He said, eating the whole cupcake. "This is great!" Mr and Mrs Cake walked up to the table, and Mrs Cake asked him "Did you enjoy the cupcake, deary?" "Yeah, it's delicious." Link replied. "Well, i'm glad to hear that?" said Mr Cake. "So, Link, where are you from?" "I am from a land called Hyrule." Link answered. "Although I have no idea how i got here... because I was... transported here for an unknown reason." "What kind of reason?" said Mrs. Cake curiously "That's just it. I have no idea why." "Oh, well... I hope you enjoy it here in Equestria." said Mr Cake. "I hope so too." said Link with a sigh. "So, this is where Pinkie Pie lives? And where you live?" "That's right." said Mrs. Cake. "Pinkie lives upstairs above us. She is always a good help to me and my husband. Isn't that right, dear?" she held her hoof on her husband's "That she does, my sweet." said Mr. Cake. The two then gave eahcother a short kiss on the lips with a smile. Rainbow stuck her tongue out in discuss, making a faint "Bleh" sound, nodding her head sideways. Rainbow Dash is definitely like a tomboy. The rest of the group ignored her behavior however. "Well, I might as well be going. I want to see what else their is in Equestria." said Link "That's fine deary." said Mrs. Cake. "Yeah. It is very nice to meet you Link. We hope to see you again some time soon." said Mr. Cake. the hylian smiled. "I look forward to it, too." he said as he sat up from the chair in the table. "Take care, Link." said Mrs. Cake as he and his new friends exited Sugarcube Corner. Link waved back to them in response before they left. "Well, they were nice." said Link "I told you they just needed to warm up to you." said Rainbow Dash. "Yeah, they like you already." said Applejack. "So, now will you tell us about Hyrule?" said Twilight "Well... i guess I can now." said Link. "Now that i have eaten." he patted his stomach again. However, he thought of about telling them about his wolf form by touching that Twilight crystal given to Midna. He worried that the ponies would be terrified to learn that secret. Fluttershy, however, may be the only exception, because she is so sweet, kind, and adorable. "Let me tell you about the races of Hyrule first." he said. "Oh, wonderful." said Fluttershy Link looked around the area for a good place to tell them about his home. He decided that he told them in the outskirts out town. Suddenly, he and the ponies heard a familiar voice. "C'mon, Bon Bon." it said "The music store has a new HAAAA----!!" something then crashed into Link to the ground. Link rubbed his head to ease the pain. Spike, and the mane 6 rushed to his aid, checking to see if he was okay. "ow." Link moaned rubbing his head, and his side. "That hurt." "Oh, my goodness, I am so terribly sorry." said the voice. Link rubbed his head, and in his eyes, were a mint green unicorn with a small harp as a cutie mark, and a pale yellow earth pony with blue and pink in her mane and tail, with three pieces of candy as a cutie mark. "Are you okay?" said the green unicorn. "Uhhh... yeah." Link replied. "I'm fine." he slowly got up, and gave a little grunt of pain, as he felt the pain from the timberwolf strike come back to him. "I am so sorry!" the unicorn exclaimed. "I'm fine. I'm fine." said Link. "I've suffered worse." He made a full recovery after thirty seconds, and swiped the dirt off his green tunic. "I am so sorry about Lyra." the earth mare said. "She was just so excited for a new harp available in the music store." "That's fine." said Link. "It wasn't her fault." The green unicorn mare then looked at Link. "You're... you're not from here, are you?" she asked very curiously. "No. I'm not." Link answered. "What's your name?" the yellow earth pony asked "Link." he replied. "Nice to meet you Link." said the green unicorn shaking his hand with her hoof. "I'm Lyra, and this is my close friend, Bon Bon." "It's very nice to meet you too." Link said Nicely. "Well, we might as well be going. I really want that harp." Lyra said. "We should hang out some time." "Sure." said Link. "I'll let you know." Lyra smiled at him. "See you soon." she said, running to the music store again, with Bon Bon looking at her. "She really wants that harp." she said to Link. She gave an exhausted breath and ran after her again "Wait for me!" she said while she was running. "Looks like you're getting more and more friends." said Fluttershy. "Yeah, you are." Said Twilight. Link smiled. They weren't wrong. Many ponies began to like him already, the Cakes, and then Lyra, and Bon Bon. "So... I've decided to tell you about Hyrule in your cottage, Fluttershy. If... if that's okay with you?" "Oh, back where we've started huh?' said Applejack. "I'm fine with that." said Fluttershy "May I ask Why?" said Rarity "Well, it's... complicated." was all Link replied. "Very well." said Twilight. Link and the group then walked back to Fluttershy's cottage so that they can hear what Link has to say about his home. Rights for this song go to Nintendo Fluttershy re entered her home with her friends, and Link behind her. Link saw a couch to sit on to narrate, and he said "Alright, gather around." Fluttershy, her friends, and all of her critter friends came around to hear Link's homeland. "Now, in Hyrule, their are four main races; the Humans, Hylians: which are me, the Gorons, and the Zoras." "What kind of creatures are those?" asked Rainbow Dash, thinking that their names were kind of funny. "Well, let me start with the gorons, first." Link said. "The gorons are a large humanoid like race of rock people that live in Death Mountain, a volcanic area just north of Kakariko village." He pulled oGt his map of Hyrule to show to the girls. "Death Mountain?" said Applejack. "That sounds like a dangerous place." "Well, inside Death Mountain, and the Goron mines, yes. But don't worry, the Gorons are very bulky, but they are actually a very peaceful and calm race. They eat rocks, and they have these rock like structures on their backs. Their leader is a larger Goron named Darbus. They are also ruled by four Goron elders named: Gor Coron, Gor Liggs, Gor Ebizo, and Gor Amoto." "Wow." said the ponies and Spike. Link pulled out a picture of a Goron from one of his pouches and showed it to his new friends. The picture impressed the girls, and it made Rainbow Dash snicker a little "What's so funny?" said Link "That guys face." Rainbow said still snickering. "I know, it looks weird, but these guys can roll to a ball and move like on in that state." "Like an armadillo?" said Applejack "Whatever that is, but yes." Link answered. "In Death Mountain, it's pretty safe, but, unless you're a Goron; stay out of the lava pits, because Gorons are fire proof, the other species are not." "Good advice." Rainbow said sarcastically. "Wait a minute." said Spike. "Dragons like me are fire proof." "Oh, right." said Link. "Sorry, Spike." "No, it's cool." the baby dragon replied. "The Zoras, are also a very peaceful race. They are humanoid fish or whale type creatures with gills." Link continued. "So they are sea creatures?" said Fluttershy. "More or less." Link said. "They can go on land under water. The Zoras of course, are very excellent swimmers. Their leader was Queen Rutela, but sadly, she was killed." The ponies murmured many words like "oh no" or "what?" Because they were surprised to hear that, and sympathetic as well. "Killed?" said Rarity shocked to hear that. "How did that happen?" said Fluttershy a little shocked to hear that herself. "I'll explain that later. Anywho, Their current leader is Prince Ralis, her son. He's still a kid, but he's learning the ropes really fast, and hopefully, he will make a good king for the Zora's one day. They live in this area called, Zora's Domain." Link showed his new friends where the Zora's home was. After that, he pulled out a picture of what a Zora looked like The girls were very impressed by their appearances. "That is amazing." said Twilight in astonishment. "Very awesome." said Rainbow Dash. "I wish i could meet these kind of creatures." said Fluttershy, also amazed. "I wish I can breath underwater like that." said Spike. "So are there any other races in your land?" asked Applejack. "Oh yes, there are minorities, but their are other races." Link said. "For instance, in the peak province of Hyrule, it is the coldest place in the land with lots of snow on it. There, a race called Yetis inhabit it?" "What's a yeti?" asked Spike "It's a creature that also looks like a human, but it is huge, and coated with white fur." Link answered. "The truth is, I only met two yetis in that region. A male named Yeto, and a female named Yeta. These two are married. "Aww." said the mane six, and Spike. "What features did they have?" ask Fluttershy. "Yeto was huge." the hylian said. "He was bigger than a Goron, well... maybe as big as Darbus is. He has a large, beaver like tail, and small ram-like horns. He had really large eyes, and sharp teeth, but he's a very gentle giant once you get to know him. Yeta, his wife, was a little bigger than me, and had a more human like face. She didn't have horns or large eyes, but she's very sweet and very nice like her husband." The ponies were truly amazed about the yetis. "Where do they live?" asked Fluttershy "They live in the Snowpeak ruins on the mountain." Link answered. "Now, another race, they used to be evil, but they're... neutral, to say the least." "What kind of a race is that?" asked Pinkie. "The Bulblins. They were bandits, and a nasty race. They were ferocious. They had green skin, and were pretty ugly. They wore masks on their mouths like some bandits would usually have, and they have red eyes. They ride on these large, pig-like monsters called 'Bulbos'. They also have small cow-like horns. The bulbos also had red eyes, and had tusks on their lower jaw." The group that Link was narrating to was both impressed, and a little scared by what the Bulblins were. "Sounds scary." said Pinkie "They are kind of scary." said Link. "Their leader is named "King Bulblin. He was larger than his lackeys, and had larger horns compared to his henchman. His Bullbo was also known as, 'Lord Bullbo'. Unlike his smaller counterparts, he was much bigger than any other bullbo. Another difference, is that he had two tusks instead of one on his lower jaw, along with long horns on his head." "What kind of weapons do they have?" Asked Rainbow Dash "Usually, they have these clubs that they would hit people with, and they are very good at archery. Sometimes, they would have fire arrows instead of regular ones." "Have you fought any one of them?" Asked Rarity. "Oh yeah, hundreds of them, and i always beat them." Link answered proudly. "Wow." Everypony said In unison. "Have you fought their king?" Asked Twilight. "Oh yes." Link answered. "Four times as a matter of fact, and I won." "Four?" Said Rainbow in amazement. "That is awesome!" "Thanks." Link said, blushing. "Where do THEY live" asked Applejack "They live around here." Link said, pointing to the Gerudo desert on the map of Hyrule. "That explains a lot." Said Twilight. "Are there any horses or ponies In Equestria too?" Asked Fluttershy curiously. "We'll yes." Said Link. "But... They don't talk, and we.... Use them as mounts to travel to places faster. But don't worry, we would never treat them badly. I myself have a horse named 'Epona' and I treat her with the respect that she deserves." "Are you sure that you don't use them like slaves?" Said Rarity a little offended. "Yes." Said Link a little nervous. "And I told you all that we are the dominant species in Hyrule, not horses or ponies, and not to mention that they don't talk, remember?" "Oh. Right." Said Rarity, remembering what Link explained. "Oh Link!" Said Rainbow Dash, like she just remembered something as well. "I just wanted to tell you how cool your sword is." "Oh, thanks." Said Link "Yeah, can we please see it again?" Said Fluttershy. "We didn't really get a chance to see it last night." "Well... Okay." Said Link. He grabbed the Master Sword and unsheathed it from his back so that his new friends could see it's beautiful blade. The ponies and Spike looked at the sword with awe. "That is very impressive." Said Rarity. "I really admire the style." "It's beautiful." Said Flutershy, gently touching the blade of the sword without cutting her good. "Does it have a name?" Spike asked. "Yeah, it's called the Master Sword; the blade of Evils bane." Link answered. "That is so awesome!" Said Rainbow Dash. "So shiny!" Said Pinkie Pie. "What do you mean the blade of Evil's bane?" Asked Twilight curiously. "Well, back in my home, a very evil wizard was planning to take over Hyrule, and I stopped and destroyed him from doing so." Link said "You defeated it?" Said Applejack in disbelief, and amazement. "How did you do that all by yourself?" She asked him "Well.... I wasn't actually alone when I defeated him. The Wizard's name was Ganondorf. He was a very evil man that would do anything to take over the land of Hyrule." He lowered the Master Sword. "This sword." He continued "was the key to kill him, and it worked." The ponies and Spike gave yet another type of words of amazement, and in awe. "That is really awesome!" Said Rainbow Dash. "Who would have believed that you would have saved your homeland from an evil wizard." She wrapped Her arm around Link's shoulders, and patted him on the back before taking her arm of the shoulders. "Oh! I forgot to ask, Do you Hylians or humans have a ruler?" asked Spike "Oh yes, I forgot about that didn't I?" said Link. "Well, the ruler of Hyrule is Princess Zelda. She helped me defeat Ganondorf and save Hyrule." "You have a princess too?" said Twilight, really amazed. "Yep." Link replied. "You have a princess?" he asked "Hm-mm. The rulers of Equestria are Princess Celestia, the guardian of the sun, and Princess Luna, the guardian of the moon." said Twilight "That's really cool." the Hylian said. Link's stomach then growled, and said "I am so sorry to cut this short, but I need to use the loo." "That's fine, go ahead." Said Fluttershy kindly. Link went upstairs to use the bathroom while the mane 6 and Spike talked. "I think we should throw Link a 'Welcome to Equestria' party!" Pinkie whispered excitedly. "That's what I was thinking." Said Rainbow Dash in agreement. "But... When?" "Let's just give Link some time to settle her, then we'll celebrate." Said Fluttershy. "I want him to be more comfortable around here." "Good idea, Fluttershy." Said Twilight "Where will he live?" Asked Rarity. They thought about it, and Looked at Fluttershy. The yellow pegasus then smiled and said "okay, I suppose he can stay here. After all he seems like a very nice.... Creature." The ponies and Spike smiled at her. Link got out of the bathroom, and wiped his hands together. "So... Would anyone like to see me what I'm capable of with my sword?" He asked "Yeah!" Said Rainbow Dash. "Let's see what you can do." Said Applejack. Link then headed outside with the ponies and Spike following behind them to see his sword tricks.
