Link and Toon Link: Adventure Companions

Chapter 1

-Link's POV-

The castle grounds have grown peaceful since the times of the Twilight Invasion and Ganondorf. It feels almost too peaceful for me to be sitting on the grassy hill, staring into the setting sun and gazing glossy eyed into the orange sky. The crisp cool breeze sifted through my hair as I sat, palm to knee, in the quiet autumn evening.

I could hear footsteps approaching me, and I could feel another's warmth beside me. I glanced over to see the gorgeous Zelda staring out into the darkening twilight. We cherished the silence, not one willing to break it, or to leave. The silence felt necessary. This happens quite frequently when we are together. Our connection doesn't need words to speak. I know how cheesy that sounds. (most credit to Conner the Waffle, that video was great)

I hear more foot steps approaching in addition to some clinging metal. We turn our heads and see a guard bend over and hand us a letter. Zelda and I leaned our heads closer and opened the withered parchment, greated with bright red curly font that read:

Dear Link and Zelda,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to participate in Super Smash Bros Brawl. You are to meet up at the Smash Mansion at no later than 6 O clock with the people under the banner holding the TriForce symbol.

In case you are wondering, being a new generation to be accepted in Smash, Smash Bros is a game where characters from multiple worlds, games, and universes come together to battle. It is a special occasion for you to be invited, but since you are among most popular, you will be included under all circumstances.

It's an honor for you to come
-Master Hand

Zelda and I exchanged nervous and excited glances. Our faces dropped as we felt the ground beneath us rumble and shake as a portal cracked open in front of us, glowing pale yellow. Zelda looked at me with a hint of adventure glimmering in her eyes through the frigid, serious exterior. She grabbed my hand and jumped through the portal, me screaming as the portal closed.

I continued to scream and opened my eyes and saw I was standing on a grey stone bridge. My yelling faltered as Zelda elbowed my arm. "We're here" she said, pointing upwards. I gasped in spite of myself as I looked up at the large brick building looking over us. There we numerous windows and balconies graphed on the face of the building about 5 stories up. Zelda gripped my hand again and marched inside, me scrambling to regain my lost footing.

I looked around and saw more openings in midair, dropping off people who looked more wacky than a Goron Zora offspring. I chuckled and looked around with a dorky grin while Zelda thrust open the doors and let us inside.

The room was dark, completely dark. I panicked for a second, reaching into the dark for Zelda's gloved hand. "You're very early" a voice boomed through the foyer. I looked forward and saw a large white hand floating in mid air, it's underside and palm lit. Lights were flicked on and the foyer burst into unsettlingly sudden chatter, almost like the darkness muted the noise and buzz.

We saw the banners hanging up around the circular cozy foyer. A star banner? Nope. A mushroom? Ew, no. I look around the roon and I spot the familiar symbol. We casually walk over to it, hoping to be unseen by those who were chatting with their friends. Zelda gasped and almost started a hacking fit when she saw Ganondorf looming over 2 other characters neither of them had even seen before. "Ganondorf, I thought you were supposed to be dead!" Zelda shrieked. Ganondorf chuckled and rolled his eyes, "Princess, this is Smash Bros. Don't forget that just because I had died doesn't mean I can't participate." I looked at him with as if he spoke Picoriese. He frowned "It means I'm invited. Good Din"

I looked over at a boy who was crossing his arms and leaning against the wall, a bandana covering his lower face, and a cap coving most of his yellow hair. He looked straight at me. "Greetings Link" He said calmly, waving at me. Okay, that guy really freaked me out, or I'm pretty sure he's a guy. Then I saw a small boy with bright blond hair like that shady guy's and big dark eyes with a round, babyish face. He had the same outfit as me, same weapons as me, heck, he pretty much was me! He looked up at me. "Hi there Link! My name is Toon Link! I was hoping we could be- hey you look just like me" He furrowed his eyebrows and looked over my whole attire and frowned. "Yeah, I know, well kid you look a little young to be in such a grueling tournament, how old are you anyways?" He smiled broadly, and anime twinkles sparkled around his face. "12!" He said, winking. "Sweet Hylia..." I said, exasperated. Toon Link giggled. "Well you better get ready because I'm gonna beat you in everything! Trust me bud!" He pointed at me with such pride and determination I couldn't help but chuckle.

His face turned red and his eyes grew small. "HEY STOP LAUGHING AT ME I'M SERIOUS!!!" He crossed his arms and turned his face away and grunted, still flustered. I put my hands on my hips and sigh, "Sorry, Toon Link but you just looked so cute-!" He lunged at me and pinned me to the ground, his eyes filled with bloodlust. "Once we battle you will regret calling me cute forever. I will ruin your fatherhood, believe it" He whispered, sending shivers through my back. He jumped off and walked away as Zelda watched him in shock. I get up, watching Toon Link cross his arms and lean against the wall next to the other dude.

That kid was like a small cat. Sure it looks innocent, playful, a little jumpy, and always wants to be social, but once you tick it off it unleashes its demonic attacks on you. That's the kind of vibe I get from Toon Link. But he probably has to act a little tougher being 12 and all, but I can tell even me, Hero of Twilight, might have some trouble with this midget.

Holy moly I'm finally done!!! Okay I hope you liked this thingy I made and enjoyed this story. It was very fun to make, and I'll see you next chapter.
