Sorry for this message on this chapter that is short as hell, you'll find another message like this in chapter eleven, technically thirteen, if you decide to read this through, but I wanna say that you should go and check out Skyward Remnants, a Legend of Zelda and RWBY crossover with the Link from Skyward Sword. Like seriously, go do so because it is so much better than this fic. Especially since there's barely and Legend of Zelda and RWBY crossovers, this one (Skyward Remnants) has the potential to be up there with KT Wizard's Unknown Legends, which is amazing. Seriously, go do it now. - September 1st, 2017
A little boy with bright yellow hair, garbed in a tattered and torn green tunic and undershirt and his stark white pants in the same condition washes up onto the sandy shores of an unknown island. Comically large dark green eyes slowly flutter open as he tries to get a sense of what exactly happened to him. Blearily, his head pops up as he props himself upright on his arms to get a better view of his surroundings. A sandy alcove of a cliff face was in front of him, and to his back, a vast sea that stretches to the horizon, a sight he's well-accustomed to.
If it wasn't for the sense of displacement he had, he would've thought he ended up on Outset! Panic slowly starts to set in as the Hero tried to figure out where in the Great Sea he was. He sailed through a lot of ocean mass and explored a variety of islands during his quest to save his sister, Goddesses know how that spiraled out.
The last thing he could remember was a bright flash of Red, Green, and Blue, and he somehow ended up had ended up in the ocean, floating around like a plank of wood snapped off from a ship! That wicked Sorcerer must be behind this, as even Tetra wouldn't go this far to get rid of him. Memories of smashing into the side of a fortress headfirst via catapult trickled in bitterly, and he sulked as a large feeling of embarrassment slowly washed over him. After a very adorable pouting session, he sprung up to his feet to get a hold of his situation and surroundings.
It wasn't Outset, that's for sure, and despite the sense of panic that was still taking hold of him, he was slowly being calmed by the serenity of the bay. It was a pleasant feeling, if nothing else, like being blessed by a fairy. The setting sun set the water into a nice and shining crystal cover, the sand almost a pale orange. It was a nice feeling, until the sudden fact that there was a setting sun looming over the horizon hit him like a charging Gyorg and panic instantly started to settle in once again.
He didn't know what to do! The boy had never been stranded, as he had always been saved by the King of Red Lions, miraculously, so he never had been in a situation such as being marooned! As he ran around in circles whilst holding his head, eyes set into little swirls for some inane reason, he stopped to see another cliff in the distance, it might as well have been a hill from his perspective, with a figure hunched over some marker of sorts.
Excitedly, the Legendary Hero of Winds dashed on over to the dark figure, not at all stopping to question whether or not they were a friend or a foe. Although fatigue seemed to finally kick in once more as he suddenly collapsed face first at the bottom of the hill the figure was on. Luckily, said figure noticed some sort of disturbance and, in a surprising amount of speed, dashed over to our valiant Hero, and hurriedly turned him over onto his back. He could barely make out their identity, a mixture of red and black seeping into his vision. He could make out the barest traces of the words they spoke...
"Are you okay?"
That's when the boy realized that he was very far away from his homeland (or home ocean if you'd like), as he only understood Hyrulian speak.
AN: Ha Ha! Simply put, for those of you that somehow know of me, as little of you as there is, I've decided to start up on writing fanfiction! Wooo! The Legend of Zelda series is just absolutely wonderful to me, it's something that I hold very dear to my heart. And RWBY, oh god RWBY! RWBY has quickly become something I can just grin about, especially (weirdly enough) the fanfiction. I absolutely love both series and since there aren't that many Zelda and RWBY crossovers, why not add another to the pile? Especially since most Zelda crossovers in general aren't Toon Link based!
Yup, if you somehow haven't made it out already, assuming you had prior knowledge of the series and/or Wind Waker title beforehand, our main character is going to be the Hero of Winds. Shocking, I know, but you gotta admit he fits the RWBY verse a little more than most of the other Links, if only the comical animation and such.
Please keep in mind that this is a 100% completely amateur work, so any help would be very appreciated. That leads me to my next topic, honest reviews. I cannot stress how badly I would need to see how my reader base (if I ever get even a semblance of one) reacts to the work. Although I know that reader shouldn't affect a story like that much, it is a big subject as I'm sure they'll have useful insight, be it positive or negative. I will of course be taking advice and deal with said advice accordingly, as this is still My Story after all, but advice would still be very much appreciated from any experienced writer. This has taken a surprising amount of solo planning and thought, as I want to make this the best I can in my very limited knowledge of writing.
I hope you all can bear with me if you ever decide to stick with this project, and let's see how this plays out, together!
...Dear Lord that was cheesy.
