Author's Note:

Well, here it is. The one you've all been waiting for. The novelization of Ocarina of Time. No silliness, as fun as that is. Not a walkthrough, although you might want to pay attention because I did use the guidebook for the dungeon scenes except for the boss and sub-boss battles... This is the most complete of all my fan fictions, but like I said in another story I start in the middle and go back to the beginning. But this one is actually going pretty well. Reviews are greatly appreciated. Even if they're negative, it's nice to know that somebody is nice enough to speak their mind. They are all very encouraging to an aspiring young author.

Disclaimer: Of course I don't own Zelda or any related stuff. I do own the occasional made-up here and there, however. As much as I regret to say it, Dark Link (Echo) is also not mine. He doesn't show up until part 2, but I just wanted to get it over with and say it up front. sigh

Prepare to embark upon the adventure of a lifetime…

Prologue

Deep in the vast forest of Hyrule...

Long have I served as the guardian spirit of the forest... I am known as the Deku Tree. The children of the forest, the Kokiri, live here with me. Each Kokiri is assigned a guardian fairy when he or she is born. All the Children of the Forest have a fairy... except one.

An outcast, plagued by nightmares. Nightmares of things yet to come.

I am old... so old... and now all the land is threatened by evil. For so long the Kokiri Forest and the Lost Woods have stood as a barrier between Hyrule and all that is evil, deterring outsiders and maintaining the order of our world ...

But before this tremendous power, even my own power is as nothing...

Navi... where art thou? Come hither.

Navi the fairy... go quickly... find the boy without a fairy and bring him to me... Fly, Navi...

I do not have much time left.

Go, Navi. The fate of the forest, nay, the world, rests in your hands...
