“Long ago, Before the Two Sisters, Before The Rise of the Equestrian Race in fact, there was a race of Great Beings, called The Hylian Race. Near the end of their rule, a War, unlike any the land had witnessed, took place. In it was a man, with more Bloodshed on his hands than any before him. He sought out to rule the land with an iron fist, forcing an ancient Sorceress to do his dirty work, summoning monsters from across the ages to wage battle against the Hylians, led by a noble Princess, and her servant, a warrior from the Sheikah tribe. Together with the Hyrulian army, they battled bravely against the threat. However, soon the evil man had faced his equal, a young knight trainee who was destined to be The Hero of Legend. The man found the Blade of Evils Bane, and defeated the evil king, sealing him away. However, Though the battle was won, the War was lost as The Demon King had managed to wipe the Hylian Race out of existence. The Hero then prayed to the goddesses of old, asking them to revive the Hylians somehow. None know what became of The Hero afterwards, but many believe his prayer was answered, and the Hylian Race was revived many years later as the Equestrian Race. It was then that Guardians were placed over the land to watch over it so we may never have another war like the Great Hylian War ever again-“
Suddenly a Pegasus raised her hoof, having The Alicorn stop. “Yes Rainbow Dash?”
“Twilight, this is SOOOOO Boring… Can’t we just read some Daring Do instead?” Rainbow said pulling her eyelids open just to stay awake.
“Ugh, Fine… Go do whatever you want Rainbow…” Twilight said closing her book and putting it away.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Open Your Eyes”
A pod slowly began to open, deep underground. If any living creature was inside the chamber, they would have seen a strange pool of blue liquid inside it.
“Open Your Eyes”
If any creature would have been in the chamber, they would of ran out as a body, a young man, began to emerge from the pool, wearing a pair of black shorts, with darkish blond hair and pointy ears.
“Wake Up Link”
Link opened his eyes for the first time in eons, slowly climbing out of the pool and looked around. “Where… Where am I?” he asked himself. He noticed a stand near a closed door begin to glow and walked over to it.
“This is a Shiekah Slate. This will help you on your mission to save this land once again”
Link jumped in surprise at the voice. “Who’s there?” He asked, spinning around, only to see no one. Shrugging, he picked up the slab, only to watch as the door began to open. Watching in surprise, he walked through it only to spot a pair of clothes laid out for him. “Guess someone was thinking about me hehe” he said as he put on a blue shirt and tan pants and some boots. After getting dressed, Link saw another stand glowing down the hallway. Looking down, he noticed his slate was glowing as well. “Hmm… I wonder…” he said walking forward, placing the slate on top of the stand. Suddenly a strange sound came from it before a computerized voice was heard.
“ACCESS GRANTED”
Link took the slate back as another door at the end of the hallway opened up. He covered his eyes as blinding light soared into the room. After blinking several times in order to get used to the light, Link walked towards it, soon finding himself out into a wide field. “Wha… How long have I been gone?” he asked himself.
“Link, Hero chosen by the Goddesses, you have been awakened from your deep slumber to save the land once again. A Great evil is rising and only you can defeat it. Rise Link, and save this land so that it might never have to witness a war ever again.”
Link looked around for the source of the voice, again to no success. Looking down, he noticed a small town sitting next to a forest at the bottom of the mountain he was on. “It seems the Hylian Race has been brought back… maybe someone down there might have some answers for me.” Link said before climbing down the mountain, unaware of the mechanical machine watching him from above.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took Link nearly half a day to climb down the mountain and reach the forest. As he made his way inside, he noticed it had begun to get dark. “Maybe I should set up camp here… I don’t think I could make it through this forest during the night…” he said. Looking around, he added, “on the other hand, it might be smarter to make my way to the village, since I don’t really have anywhere to sleep and keep warm… Ya… I better head through…” Link said, getting ready to jog into the woods, only to spot something sticking out of the ground. Reaching down, he pulled out what seemed to be an old rusty sword from what appeared to be from eons ago. “This might be of some use… assuming I get a chance to fix it up…” he said before placing it on his back.
“Link… head towards the town, but be warned, your awakening has not gone unnoticed. Hurry before your caught!”
Link spun around, finally getting irritated at hearing a voice but finding no owner, only to see a few rocks fall off the mountain. Looking up, he nearly fell backwards as giant Mechanical arm appeared, followed by a giant pod! “Not good!” Link said before turning around, running into the forest.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rainbow Dash awoke to the sound of a loud boom. “Huh? What was that?” she yelled, running outside her cloud house, only to spot what appeared to be a giant metal glowing egg with tentacles chasing and shooting at something, or Somepony! Worse yet, whatever it was, was coming straight for Ponyville! “Not on my watch” she said with a grin as she dived from her cloud, spreading her wings instantly blasting towards the forest. She rammed into it, causing it to spin around for a few seconds, giving her time to rescue the pony it was after. “Hey, you need a hoof?” She said only to stare at what she just saved. Whatever it was, stood on two legs, was fully clothed, and had pulled a rusty sword out.
Suddenly the creature charged at her, only to roll right under her, tossing the rusty sword at the giant machine, managing to hit it in what looked like an eye, shattering the sword. The Mechanical beast spun around a few times, the glowing on it flickering in and out before finally collapsing. The creature sighed, relaxing as it turned towards Rainbow Dash. “Nice move there guy” Rainbow Dash said landing on her hoofs as the young man stood up. “My Names Rainbow Dash! Whats yours?” she asked extending a hoof.
The boy looked at the hoof before leaning down and shaking it. “Link”
not bad looking good so far :D i like to see how it turns out
7310294 Thanks hehe. I cant wait to see how it turns out as well.
The beginning reeeeaaaally reminded me of Hyrule Warriors
7310381 Exactly. Hyrule Warriors is now Cannon
Another Crossover Fic that doesn't Kill Rainbow Dash as a Character?
AWESOME!
This is looking good so far, so I'll be watching this.
7310402 WHAT!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HYRULE WARRIORS IS NOW CANON?
I demand an explanation before I explode.
Please.
7310440 well she is my fav Character up there with Sunset Shimmer, so I try to do her justice in my stories
quite simple. Plot demands it XD
nah, Im just going with the fact that as of now, there is no story to this game, so I feel at liberty to add whatever I want to the story, as long as it fits within the context of the world I built
Gonna be watching this, too.
And as for what CT said, I don't find it so surprising that Hyrule Warriors now is canon.... Legend of Zelda already has more different timelines than Doctor Who!
7310488 Sweet, thanks!
True enough. Weve already got 3 split ones. Just cause Nintendo wants to say it aint Cannon dont mean its not to me.
Oh dont get me started on Doctor Who XD
7310477 If that's the case, why not add a Rainbow Dash tag to the story?
7310513 Hmmm... true... idk, Its still early in the story and Im still trying to see if I want her to join Link on his quest or not, kinda like Wolf Link can
We will see then.
7310524 indeed
That didn't take long. In all seriousness, this is interesting so far. And as for Link talking, Nintendo has actually said Link DOES talk. The player provides his voice.
Fitting that I'm listening to a video about BotW as i noticed this story.
I cant wait for this game!
...well, I guess we've been waiting since 2011, so I suppose i can hang on a few more months
Really you just misspelled Sorceress right there.
Hmm.
7310555 isnt it cool what the internet can do?
7310607 Quite so XD
7310713 joke that has gone on far to long, Zelda: Breath of the Wild coming out in 2015... then 2016
7310729 hey, thanks for the spell check. maybe next time dont be an ass about it
7311069 Hmmm...
7311256 And again, I'm watching a BotW video as I reply to this. XD
7311256
Sorry about that I was just stating the obvious and also you're welcome!
7310453
I believe he means canon in terms of the story, not in terms of the Zelda universe. Hyrule Warriors is still it's own separate thing completely separate from Zelda proper. Unless the big N said something at E3 that I missed.
....aaaand now that i've actually read it, my goodness, grammar and spelling problems galore.
7310498 So in short it's all wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff now, okay. I can accept that.
7311567 Yeah, I looked it up and it was said that Hyrule Warriors has no place in the Zelda Timeline.
Your premises and writing are really good! The only problem I can see right now is the grammar. There are plenty of people who could proofread your story before you post it. I'm hoping to see more soon!
7311263 now if your watching a video about it when you respond to this, Im gonna say somethings up XD
7311567 nah, the Big N said nothing. Your right, in terms of this story, its cannon, but to me, I personally think it could be cannon with the games... its not, but I like to think it is.
7312042 Fantastic. Someone that speaks perfect english XD
7312564 idk Dark Jak. Im not into Skyrim, so I cant really say anything there
7314257 Thanks! well, so far people seem more proud to just call me out on it than offer to help... minus one word... which to be fair, if you read any of my other stories, nobody has ever called me out like this, so this is how Ive always typed
Since I'm a Halo fan, I couldn't help but notice that the part with Link waking up is a lot like Master Chief waking up in Halo 4.
FYI: I do know that it was based on the trailer for LoZ: BOTW shown at E3, I just couldn't help myself.
7320627 did not know that. I dont play Halo so that might be why
Very interesting story. I like it! Keep it up!
7326539 Thanks!
7326570 Your welcome!
7326570 You the opening narration reminds me alot of the Skyward Sword prequal manga that was included in Hyrule Historia. Instead Skyloft is not formed and Hylians are more or less wiped in this version. They even both featued a scarf wearing Link that is also also a knight. Although it was stated that this was one for long while already unlike the Hyrule Warriors version.
Thus you have essentially created a fourth timline. It would fit with canon and still explain the differences. Though what you is have already pretty good. Although I would have liked if the journey from the Awakening chamber was a bit more detailed. Especially since they cannot be that close to ponyville maybe near The Crystal Mountains past Canterlot. Oh well it still shaping up well.
7335308 yes, there will be. In fact, you can influnce where the story will go in a blog I posted
7337888 hurray, I officially have my own Zelda universe! XD
7339424 so u will use it???
7345669
7345678 priceless..... But can u handle Trollestia
7364655 idk, but I can handle Molestia... seeing as thats my gf's nickname XD
7365760 ppffftt!! Hahahaha!! That is acually hilarious
7365837 depends. whats the story about?
7365989 eh... not really into stories like that
7325033 Speaking of Halo, can you be able to read the entire chapter while listening to this:
Because it would be a challenge that I would propose.
Also, when is the next chapter? Cause I'm getting ready to explode like Pinkie.
Thank you.
7379188 probably not. I gotta listen to this
as for the next chapter, I am working on it. I just get distracted alot. also dont help when your trying to please the grammer nazi's
Oh I'm not a Grammar Nazi, so you don't have to worry.
As for the video in my previous comment, that was meant for everyone. So that way, they'd be given a challenge.
Oh, and here's another one for all readers:
7380019 when is the next chapter coming out ???
