Hey guys! So, I thought I'd throw this together, because it's sitting in my files, and I figured you'd like it n_n It's a collection of deleted scenes and the original plot ideas for the story, which is the second version, but still pretty different. Tell me what you guys think!

These are the original ideas for the book:

Link saves Kakriko, but kills 3 people in an explosion

Vigilante Justice Laws

Zelda and Link argue

Link is announced as a criminal

Link breaks out

Link goes to Darbus

Link attacks the soldiers at Ordon

Link travels to Snowpeak ruins, hides out for a few days

Ilia betrays Link

Zelda attacks Link

Link loses

Link is captured, a trial is held

Link escorted, ambushed, thrown in Arbiters grounds

A mysterious figure enters his prison, and stabs him in the back, leaving him to bleed out

OoT Link wakes up

Yes, at the end, an aged, super powerful Link from Ocarina of Time, in stasis, was supposed to show up, but..that idea sucked.

This is the original opener for the book:

Link's eyes shot open, only to be greeted by pain. Around him sat Zelda, and his most loyal Guards, along with the Mystic who tended to royal injuries. "Link!" Zelda said, hugging him tightly as he cringed. "What happened...?" He asked, trying to sit up. "The shop exploded." The Mystic said, not meeting Link's eyes. "You suffered blunt force trauma to the head, and have been out for 12 days, much to the Princess's dismay." Link breathed slowly, taking in all of what happened. "It all happened so fast...I was there...there were Bokoblins..I can't handle how quickly this is happened...I..." He stopped. "Renado...did he..." He said, his voice trailing off, desperation in his eyes as he looked at Zelda. She looked away. "His funeral was held last Wednesday...I'm so sorry..." Link closed his eyes. "I'm sorry. This is all happening too quickly.." Zelda put her hand on his. "Link..." The door opened, an adviser looking in. "Princess, it's time." She looked at the Mystic. "Link...a private council is to be held today...we'd like you to come with us, it's about what happened..."

I just felt, basically, that it wasn't the right start to the story, and changed it.

This is the original scene of Team Link arriving at Snowpeak, which was unfinished and WAY poorly written.

Link, Darbus, Stark and Rusl all climbed onto the snowbank. The trip had been full of anxiety, the swift current slamming them against the sides of the rocks, but they were all tied together, save for Darbus, who simply rolled on the side alongside them. They were bruised, but otherwise unharmed. "The things I do for you, Link..." Stark said, shaking out his armor as Rusl trudged ahead. They had an entire mountain ahead of them, covered in snow, while they were wet. Darbus went ahead of Rusl, rolling a path for them to walk through. Link laughed. "I'm keeping you alive, Stark." He chuckled. They began walking up the mountain, all cold but safe from Zelda's army. After hours of travel, they made it to the edge of the Snowpeak Ruins, where Yeto was waiting. "OHHH! LINK!" He yelled, the snow shaking. Link shushed him. "Yeto!" He said, his voice hushed. "I'm here to hide, please don't say my name..." He said, his hand on his forehead. Yeto sighed. "I SORRY LIN- UH..." He started to whisper "I sorry not Link." Link thanked him, and they walked up into the mansion, which was left in the same state as it was when Link saved Yeta from the Twilight Shard. "I'll start on a fire." Darbus said, grabbing a piece of dabris and setting it in the fireplace. "Let me show you an old Goron secret." He struck his knuckles together, a spark flying from them, onto the wood. "We Gorons are the best firemakers in Hyrule." He said with pride. Link laughed, finally able to relax. "We're safe for now, my friends." He said, laying back against the wall as Stark walked up the stairs. "I'm going to the kitchen.." He said, chuckling. Rusl sat next to

Yeah...

Originally, I had the idea for Link and Stark to both survive, and be imprisoned, and have Zelda be brainwashed.

At that, a spear flew from inside the mansion, hitting the bomb arrow Zelda threw aside. The explosion knocked Zelda out of the air, and Link leaped up, landing on Zelda and pinning her down. "Enough!" He yelled. Zelda struggled, but Link kept her held down. "This ends now, Zelda." Zelda shook her head. "No." Stark stepped out from the mansion, a deep gash in his leg. "I'm okay, captain." He sighed. Link looked at Zelda. "You're done. You're no longer in control." He let her go, and tossed her arms aside. She stumbled, and looked at Stark. "You're going to side with him?!" She yelled, her hair hanging messily in front of her face. Stark sighed. "Highess, you're wrong about this. You chose the wrong side." Zelda looked from Link to Stark. "No." She rose both hands, lifting both men in the air as she called for her Lightnuts. Their bodies reassembled at their princess's commands running to both Link and Stark. Link's leg kicked one, but they took him to the ground, cuffing him and Stark. Link looked in horror as Zelda's crazed eyes flashed, and his consciousness slipped.

Link woke up, his body wrapped in chains, suspended from the floor. He looked around. He was in a cell, with bars in close proximity to each other. Stark sat motionless in the corner, his feet bound to the floor. "S...Stark?" Link called out, his voice broken. Stark didn't move. "Stark..!" Link said, louder now. After a moment, the body budged. "...reporting for...duty, captain." Link smiled weakly. "Your leg..." He could see the black puddle of blood in the shadows under Stark's leg. Stark cringed. "Yeah...I can't move. It looks like we're stuck." A clang from outside the cell made Link turn. Into his view, walked Mordu. "Captain. I have been sent from Princess Zelda, to inform you that your trial is to start. You'll be coming with me. Link groaned. "Stark can't move, his leg is cut." Mordu's face didn't change. "That's no problem." He snapped his fingers, and in walked more guards than Link could count. They strapped him into a wheel chair, and unchained him. "Stark won't be joining you." Link gasped, struggling against the restraints. "He's going to die! Clean his wound, come on! Mordu!" Mordu ignored him, and snapped his fingers again, Link being pushed. "Mordu! Listen to me, I will do anything, clean his wound!" Link was pushed out of the dungeon, his yells echoing.

That idea was straight up stupid.

So, that's that! Tell me if you guys liked any of it! The Rise of Caesus is currently being written, go check it out ;D
