AN: Hey! Im mostly new here, ive always wanted to do i Zelda fic since i first played ocarina of time as a kid and here it is! i require one review to carry on so i know my story isn't rubbish.

Overall this story will have a darkish tone and is set in ocarina of time Hyrule, it's slightly AU with Link being a castle slave but otherwise everything is as it was in the game

My first priority on this board is my other fic so i will update around every few days whereas i update my other one mostly every day. Anyway ONWARDS!

(Oh yeah, other chapters will be longer than this default one)

Read, review and enjoy!

Link's eyes flickered open; he wasn't in the forest anymore. The last thing he remembered was running, running through the thick undergrowth of the Kokiri forest, fleeing from some wolfo's. After what seemed like an eternity he came to a large plain, for the first time he gazed upon the blazing sun, for the first time the entire sky wasn't covered by immense trees. Then he passed out from fatigue.

Slowly his energy regained and his sense's returned to him, his hands and feet had been bound and a gag was shoved in his mouth. He sat up slowly; it appeared he was in the back of an open roofed carriage. He heard the slow trot of the horses pulling him and he turned around, he saw the balding head of a man controlling the horse's and beyond lay large thick stone walls with a drawbridge being the only entrance. Finally grasping the concept of the situation he began to struggle against the ropes and muffle angrily in protest.

"No point in strugglin, your only wearin ya self out fella." The man controlling the horses said, had a strange accent but he was right. Link realised how hungry he was and lay down in defeat. His mind raced with terrible thoughts about what was going to happen to him. Was this man going to kill him?

After calming down slightly his memory slowly returned to him and he remembered what happened earlier.

Link slowly wandered through the Kokiri forest, it was around midday and as usual he was bored. His life wasn't exactly miserable but all his former friends no longer wanted to play with him, over the past few years he had started growing and no one wanted to be friends with the 'freak.' He had come to terms with the fact that he obviously wasn't Kokiri but he didn't know anything of the outside world so he was pretty much stuck with his situation.

He subconsciously walked through the forest until unknowingly he had returned to the village, he must of accidentally walked through one of those weird portal thingy's that returned people to the village. He began to make his way back to his house when a strange site greeted him. Most of the Kokiri's where standing in a large mob lead by Mido.

"Umm whats going on guys" Link questioned cocking an eyebrow.

"Link, me and the villagers think it's about time you left, y'know to return to the place where you came from." What Mido said rendered Link speechless; they wanted to get rid of him? Link looked with hatred at Mido, he was trying to appear sad about this but Link saw that he was fighting back the urge to grin broadly. Link looked at the other Kokiri's; it seemed none of them actually agreed but had been more bullied into it by Mido.

Taking one last fleeting look at his former friends he turned around and ran towards the lost woods. When he was sure he was far enough he let out a cry of anger, he kicked a nearby stump and his mind raced with thoughts about whats just happened. Suddenly he heard the distant cry of some Wolfo's and no longer than a second later two large gray wolfo's burst through the trees and growled and Link.

"Shit" is all link could manage, immediately he began pelting through the woods, and after what seemed like an eternity of running he came out on the a wide plain and collapsed from exhaustion.

Link eventually began to lose consciousness; he hadn't had any food for hours, maybe days who knew how long he had been unconscious for? His vision blurred and he closed his eyes. After several minutes of drifting between his mind and reality he felt the carriage come to a halt. Link made out a conversation between the thick accented man who was driving the carriage, and a gruff voice.

"Found him near dead on the edge of the lost woods, at first i thought he was a kokiri child but he's kinda old." He felt a sharp prod from one of the men, Link groaned.

"Well he certainly isn't dead....you're sure he isn't some kid from kakariko?" questioned the gruff voice.

"Nop, been around Kakariko many a time and i aint never seen him once, so you interested?" He felt one of the men pull him from the carriage and he collided hard with the floor.

"He seems to be in decent shape, how much do you want for him?" Asked the guard still prodding link.

"I was thinking bein as he's young and in good shape 20 rupees?" The man gave it some thought.

"You drive a hard bargain Talon, but okay" Link opened his eyes a fraction and saw the man who was dressed in a grey armour, wearing a helmet that covered his eyes and holding a spear hand over a red gem to the man apparently called Talon. The men shook hands and Talon took one last glance at Link and got back on his carriage, Link heard him trot away as the guard picked Link up and began walking, this was the last thing Link saw before passing out.

So...good, bad, ok? Be sure to let me know by reviewing, and remember i require at least 2 reviews before carrying on, like i said future chaps will be longer and next chapter will see Link become a slave for the castle.

Oh yeah and if you do review, constructive crit is appreciated.

Thanks for reading!!
