Yay! First Fanfic I've ever attempted to post up here! I know, I know. This chapter's short but it just had to be. A couple of things I have to tell you before you go on(or not or completely skip over this).

1. Like in the game, this Link can't talk. But he and everyone in Abode Village knows sign language.

2. Alfonzo might seem dumb in here, but this is Link's point of view. So he pretty much thinks that everyone is kinda dumb.

3. There are a couple of things added into the story to kinda help link with his muteness...Like this.

Chapter 1: My Final Exam

I couldn't believe it. How in the world did I lose such an important sheet of paper?! I was frantically running all over my shared house with Niko, looking for that darned thing. That said old man was standing in the middle of the room, doing nothing to help me. Frustrated, I turned to him and signed, 'Do you know where I put my graduation papers?'

"I gave them to Alfonzo because I was sure you wouldn't remember where you put them." he said, smiling. WHAT?! He did what? I threw my hands up in total frustration, shaking my fists at him. He only laughed and shook his head. I glared at him one last time before rushing to the door...

Buuut, I ended up having a door in my face. You should probably know how painful that is. Especially when the person who opened the door is... let's say...two and a half times bigger than yourself? Yeah, that's about it.

"Link! I got you pape-hey. Where's Link?" I heard my mentor say. I heard Niko laugh harder. I swear that old man's gonna pay waaay later. In case you're wondering, that idiot who slammed the darned door in my face, was Alfonzo.

I rubbed my forehead with one hand and knocked with the other. The door swung closed and give away my hiding spot. Alfonzo spotted me a second later.

"Ah, Link! Come on we're late! We don't want to make the princess wait." said Alfonzo, grabbing my left wrist and dragging me out the door. "We'll see you later, Niko!"

I gave a quick glare and wave at the darned, laughing old man. 'That old geezer is gonna get it when I get back.' I thought, vengefully.

I quickly caught my footing and jogged to keep up with Alfonzo. He threw me on the train and pointed to the train gears.

"This'll be your final exam with me, alright? Get driving and I'll jump on!" he said, turning around. I got up from the floor, smirking, and put the train in full speed. I silently laughed when I heard Alfonzo curse loudly. I took it he missed the train.

"Wait! Link!" I heard him call. I looked over the side and saw him running after the train. I didn't need to slow down because he managed to barely make it by jumping on. I shook my head and turned my attention to the tracks.

In exactly one hundred and sixty-three seconds (yes, I was counting. I have a knack for that), we made it to Hyrule Castle Town. When I pulled the brakes to stop the train I heard Alfonzo yell.

"YOU FAILED WITH FLYING COLORS!" I let my head hit the railing of the train. My Goddess, he can be so stupid. I jumped on to the station and wearily looked at Alfonzo and signed: 'And what, exactly, did I do wrong?'

Alfonzo stared at me before answering.

"You didn't! I was just joking with you kid." he said waving me off and handing my my grauduation papers, which I shoved in my little pouch. Then he jabbed a thumb toward the castle. "Now hurry up and get to you ceremony. I'll be here."

I took five steps before I turned around and signed. 'You're not coming?'

Alfonzo shook his head. "Nope! So... hurry up!"

I rolled my eyes. There's no need to tell me twice.

Now that I look over it...I feel sorry for Link. Oh, well! Review and tell me how I did! Constructive criticism? Comments? FLAMES WILL BE USED FOR MAKING...CRAPPY COOKIES! Again! Sorry for the shortness!

Later!
