Hush, child,
Darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep

She had been chased away from everything she had ever known. She didn't know where to go or how to survive. She had walked for a long time before stumbling upon a small village that had accepted to let her stay for the night. But she had lied, telling the villagers her husband had been killed when they were attacked by monsters on the road. She told them she had barely been able to escape, saving her and her child's life, and that they were her only hope of survival.

Child,
Darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep

They had let her settle down and she had helped the women with their chores until her baby was born.

Guileless son,
I'll shape your belief
And you'll always know that your father's a thief
And you won't understand the cause of your grief
But you'll always follow the voices beneath

It was a little boy and, thankfully, almost no trace of Ganondorf remained in his appearance. Only his eyes were as golden as the blazing sun, but she quickly changed them to blue with a bit of magic she had learned from an old gypsy she had met long ago when she had run away from the castle in her young age.

Guileless son,
Your spirit will hate her
My sister who married my lover the traitor
And you will expose his puppeteer behavior
For you are the proof of how he betrayed her loyalty

As soon as he was old enough to understand and remember her words, she told him tales of the Hero of old. She whispered to him promises of a grand future, for he was the chosen. She knew he was. He had to be.

Hush, child,
Darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep
Child, Darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep

She filled his dreams with visions of a tall, dark man, with fiery hair and golden eyes, portraying him as the Evil that slept inside Hyrule's very core, telling her son he was the only one who could protect the kingdom from a dreadful fate.

Guileless son,
Each day you grow older
Each moment I'm watching my vengeance unfold
For the child of my body, the flesh of my soul
Will die in returning the birthright he stole

The men of the village instructed him in the ways of the sword, and Link, as she had called him, quickly became the best of them, fending off monsters easily and without fear.

Hush, child
The darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep
Child, the darkness will rise from the deep
And carry you down into sleep

And one day, he was gone. A simple note had been left on the table, written in a hasty but confident handwriting.

"I will meet my destiny."

Zelda smiled.

Finally, she would be avenged.

Ok, I know that maybe this all didn't make sense, but it was fun to do anyway. Also, had to change some words in the lyrics.

This may become a three-shot if you guys are interested, but it won't be longer than that.

Please leave a review. =)
