The Five Links

Not too long ago, the peaceful land of Hyrule faced hard times. Times of evil, darkness, and suffering. The beautiful green fields of Hyrule became barren, wastelands. All of thhis destruction was caused by one boy's actions. In order to save his childhood friend, Zelda, Link drew a blade known as the Four Sword. By doing so his body split into 4 seperate beings. Each of them had their own names; Green, Red, Blue, and Vio. They also had different personalities, but they had to put aside their differences if they were planning to face the wind sorcerer Vaati. At Vaati's side a shadowy boy, named Shadow Link, or Shadow, helped the sorcerer spread darkness across the land of Hyrule. He also fought the Links on multiple occasions. Then Shadow befriended Vio, and eventually Shadow helped the Links defeat the man behind Vaati; Ganon. By doing so however, Shadow lost his life...

Now the Links reside in Hyrule Castle, ready to protect the land at anytime. Each had their own room, except for Red& Blue, for they shared a large bedroom, decorated to their own individual likes. Here is where this story begins.

On his room's private balcony, Vio looked out over the land, which had a bright orange tint to it due to the setting sun. He couldn't stop thinking about Shadow. Vio and Shadow were really close to eachother, so it really hurt Vio inside when he died. A cool breeze made Vio's blonde hair shift slightly, and he thought to himself: Shadow....why did you have to die... Vio felt a tear begin to trickle down his cheek, and quickly wiped it one his sleeve. Vio remembered what Shadow whispered to him just before he faded away. Shadow said that he would see Vio again, and he promised that they would be the best of friends. Vio knew that he and Shadow would meet again, he didn't know when, but he knew they would. Vio closed his eyes and listened to the wind echoeing of the mountain, and rolling across the great field. He felt very relaxed, but was disturbed when he heard fighting from the room next to his.

Vio mumbled to himself: "Blue and Green...again..."
Sure enough Blue and Green were fighting, over who was the better fighter. Red and Zelda stayed on Red's side of the room away from the fighting links.

"Guys, do you really need to fight? One of you is going to get really hurt!", Red whined. Blue and Green then stopped whenthe King of Hyrule walked in, and demanded to know what was going on.

"You know I could have you both thrown in the dungeon for causing a disturbance, while I was discussing very important matters with the Knights, right?", the King asked impatiently. Green and Blue nodded.

"I'm sorry your majesty.", Green said sincerely.

"I truly am, sir." Blue said sarcastically.

The King had a look of disgust on his face because of Blue's tone, as he exited the room.

"Can't you guys ever go through ONE day without fighting?", Zelda asked. The two glared at eachother, then shook their heads.

"It's hard to go a day when you're living with an over muscular idiot.", Green smirked.

"Oooh....you're asking for it Green....", Blue growled. Green and Zelda then exited the room and Green peeked his head in.
"What do you mean? I only speak the truth", Green laughed then darted toward his room. Red looked at the aggravated Blue, and walked over to him.
"It's okay Green didn't mean it, Blue", Red said, as he reached his arms out to hug Blue. Blue then grabbed Red's left arm. "OWCHIES!!!"
"Don't you ever touch me!", Blue firmly stated then he let go of Red. Red then began to cry.(As usual)

As Zelda was about to go to bed, she paused suddenly. "I...I...feel an evil force rising...a strong one too." She ran over to her window and opened the curtains. A cold, menacing wind caused her golden hair to swirl around her. "Just as I thought......Vaati is back...", Zelda then looked towards Death Mountain. "I must warn Link!" Zelda then rushed downstairs to Green's room.

The strong, icy wind on Death mountain, gave the shadowy figure a hard time as he climbed the rocky cliffs. His pale lavender hair looked silver under the light of the full moon. This figure was Vaati. His purple tunic blew violently in the wind, and the dirt of the mountain stung his eyes, but he had to fulfill his orders. Vaati climbed and climbed, until he reached the Tower of Flames. Here, he entered the tower, and navigated his way his only light being the streaks of moonlight that infilitrated through small cracks. Vaati dashed through corridors until he found what he was looking for the shattered remains of the Dark Mirror.
"Aha, just what I was looking for", Vaati whispered. He raised his hand and used his magic to repair the mirror shard by shard. Shortly, the mirror was completely repaired.
"Hm,hm,hm. Master Ganon, will be very pleased..." Vaati said,
"First let's bring back that traitor as an ally..."
