Fall Into The Wild; BOTW Fanfiction

Prologue

Everyone has a word that makes them excruciatingly angry. A word that makes someone tick. That word for me was 'average.' I guess the reason why I hated this word so much, was because it summed up my life and its purpose.

My name is (Y/N), (Y/N) (L/N). I was raised in a regular home, with normal parents, who had average jobs. My father and mother were office worker bees, which, ironically, was where they met. My parents were absolutely normal. They didn't stand out and they never did anything too out of the ordinary. They were average. When I was little, I was told to always act a certain way, since my parents had built a reputation for themselves. I listened, unlike a lot of other kids. When I got older, I got normal grades. A's and B's on all my homework and test papers.

Once high school ended, I bought an apartment in another city. I left, feeling that my life wouldn't begin until I moved. Not even a year into my new life and I still felt regular. I worked as an office worker for a developing company, like my parents. I lived in a small apartment, only meant for one person. There was nothing really interesting about me. All my friends would tell stories of their travels and experiences, while I had nothing to report. I was just me, and my life was as boring as my parents.

The one thing that would take me to another world was videogames. Why be interesting in real life when you can pretend to be someone interesting in a game? My favorite series was 'The Legend of Zelda.' Those games pulled me in! Of course, I liked some of the games more than others, but I played them all anyway; However, my favorite 'Legend of Zelda' game was the renowned 2017 game, Breath of the Wild. Compared to the other games, Breath of the Wild was a top tier masterpiece. Even though it was merely a game, the land of Hyrule was gorgeous. It truly felt like I was there in person! Besides the map though, the characters were always such a delight to be around! I personally enjoyed Revali, Kass, Prince Sidon, and of course, Link.

Link was always an enigma to me, however. The videogame protagonist happened to be the opposite of myself. He was brave and courageous. And he always happened to make friends with anyone. But I couldn't do anything Link does to save my life. Unlike him, I was a normal girl, unable to be put into a stressful situation without having a complete melt down. Unlike him, I was completely unable to have meaningful friends. Sure, my friends were nice, but we really don't have anything in common. I kind of just hang out with them because they're the best option. Compared to him, I was a side character. No one of any importance.

My life was boring and meaningless. I had no friends or social life. I played videogames for the substitution of company. Nothing about my existence held anything noteworthy.

But all of thatchanged with a blink of an eye...
