:3 So this is a random fanfic idea I've had floating around in my head for the past... oh, I'd say 2-3 years. Though back then it was a vague and poorly executed idea, with the cliché original character and all that. I didn't really think much about it for a long time, until at some point not too long ago, the idea came up again. It was then that I decided the concept was really kinda cool.
So after some de-lame-ifying (scrapped the original character, changed a few things around, scrapped the horrid intro, etc.), I started writing a story that I'm so far rather happy with.
And thus, I will show it to you guys.
This story doesn't take place during any part of the real Zelda timeline, though what with the locations and stuff, it most resembles Ocarina of Time. On that note, there are going to be some OoT spoilers in this. I think most Zelda fans know all about that storyline by now, but I'm going to warn you anyway.
Also, this is with older Link, not younger Link. Just incase you were wondering.
Nao. On with the story.

Prologue
"Link, look out!"
Zelda pulled Link out of the way, just as a ball of darkness magic whizzed by them and crashed into the wall they had been standing in front of just moments before. Link held up his shield to deflect the stone shards that came flying at them from the blast. A mad cackle came from down the hall, reaching the two's ears.
"You fools! There is no escaping my power!" came a shout from Ganondorf, followed by another darkness blast.
Link was the one to pull Zelda out of the way this time. The two promptly started running further down the hall, Ganondorf in hot pursuit of them.
"We have to find a safe spot; these halls are going to collapse!" Zelda shouted, dashing out of the way before a chunk of ceiling could hit her head.
"You think I didn't notice that?!" Link yelped, looking around frantically for a way out. Suddenly, his eyes came upon something; a door. "There! In there!"
"I don't know, Link, are you sure that room is safe?"
"It'll have to do. Move!" Link grabbed Zelda, leaping though the door just in time to dodge a rather large blast of darkness. Zelda yelped when the blast crashed into the end of the hall, causing an explosion that shook the ground and knocked some chunks out of the ceiling.
Link grunted, standing up and taking a step away from Zelda. His eyes began scanning the room, looking for something he could use, or something that could lead them out of the ruins.
"We don't have much time before Ganondorf catches up," Zelda muttered, standing up and brushing some dirt off her dress. "Can you see anything?"
"Not anything useful..." Link grimaced, continuing to look around. "Wait, what's that say?"
"Link, we don't have time for this!" Zelda protested, as Link walked up to a strangely shaped pillar of stone, words etched across the front.
"Maybe it'll tell us how to get out of here!" Link replied, as he began to read the words. "...'Beware the curse that lies within this stone.' What?"
"Link!" Zelda yelped, catching Link's attention. When he turned around, he saw Ganondorf standing in the doorway, an evil smirk on his face.
"I have got you now, O Great Hero," Ganondorf said, sarcasm laced in his voice. Link struck a defensive stance as the King of Evil stepped into the room, and promptly shot a ball of darkness at Link.
"NO!" Zelda screamed, as the darkness smashed into Link's shield, forcing him backwards into the stone pillar.
The pillar immediately began to glow an eerie green color. That set off a chain reaction that caused other items in the room to start glowing green as well, one by one, until the room was filled with a green light.
"You stupid kid, what did you do?!" Ganondorf demanded, narrowing his eyes.
"I... don't know!" Link yelled, panicking as a low hum filled the room.
And then, a sudden flash of white.
Then everything went black.
To be continued...
