Chaos at Lon Lon Ranch
By Boomer

Note: This story takes place directly after Ocarina of Time. The only difference is that Link wasn't turned into a child again. To protect the future of Hyrule, he was kept the way he was.

Link eyes opened as he awoke in his bed at Hyrule Castle. He had had the strangest dream that night. His grandson, also named Link, was battling a horrifying wizard. After his grandson won the fight, the wizard turned into Ganon. That was when he woke up. He got dressed in his Kokiri Tunic and went to breakfast. Zelda, King Drayfus II, Saria, and Impa were there. Saria had moved into the castle to represent the Kokiri at all the United Meetings of Hyrule. Impa, being Zelda's caretaker, was allowed to stay in the castle for the rest of her life and look after the new children. "Hello, Link. Did you sleep well?" Zelda asked. "Not really. I had this strange dream a descendant of myself, also named Link, was battling a fierce wizard. When the wizard was defeated, the wizard was revealed to be Ganon!" Link said. Startled, King Drayfus dropped his fork while eating his eggs. He was quite disturbed at the mention of Ganon. "Link, I don't like the sound of this. I'd like you and five of my best soldiers to go out and see if Ganon or some person is stirring up trouble!" said King Drayfus. "If I may object, your highness, I really don't see any need to. Link did say it was a descendant of himself, so if it is true, none of us would be alive to see it!" commented Saria. "Oh, I guess your right. I'm sorry, but after that nightmare with Ganondorf, I just get startled at the tiniest sign of trouble." he said. "Your becoming paranoid, your highness." Impa joked. Everyone at the table laughed at that remark. After breakfast, King Drayfus told Link and Zelda to go around Hyrule and get the governors of the Hyrule Alliance for the monthly United Meeting of Hyrule. Impa went to Kakariko Village to talk with the Sheikah council. Saria stayed at the Castle, since the new governor of the Kokiri was Mido. Later that morning, Link got on his horse, Epona, and Zelda got on hers, Starlight. First, they went to Gerudo Valley. Link was friends with many of the Gerudos, but Zelda hated going there. She thought that they would bring back Ganon and overrun Hyrule. The one and only Gerudo she trusted was Nabooru. She hated Ganondorf's plan from the beginning. They came to the Hyrule River and went across the bridge. "Hello, Link!" the carpenters said. "Hello!" the pair replied. Then they came upon Gerudo's Fortress. Nabooru was stationed at the top part of the fortress. After the horror with Ganondorf, the Haunted Wasteland, Desert Colossus, and the Spirit Temple were off limits to everyone except Link, the royal family, and herself. It was heard that Kohme and Kotake were still lurking there. When they came to Nabooru's office, she quickly got up. "Link! How nice to see you! Zelda, always a pleasure." she said. She hugged Link and Zelda. "Well, I'm ready for the meeting." she said. She got her horse, Gusty, and they were off. As they were heading to Zora's Domain, Link asked Nabooru what she was going to report that night. "The Gerudos only problem is the constant thinking that we want to revive Ganon. We do not want to bring back Ganon, and if he does come back, we will most certainly not be responsible!" she said. Link was wide-eyed, but he didn't say another word. After they got Ruto from Zora's Domain, they went up Death Mountain Trail for Darunia. There were some Tektites on the trail, but Link put them to rest with the Hookshot. They went pass Dodongo's Cavern, where Gorons were mining rocks. "Hello, Link!" they called. Ruto was complaining about the weather, since she was used to the humid environment of Zora's Domain and Lake Hylia. They came to the entrance of Goron City and rode in. They tied their horses up and continued down the different stairways to Darunia's chamber. "Hello, brother!" he greeted. He grabbed Link and put in a horribly painful Goron hug. After letting go, Link fell on the ground. "Link, are you okay?" asked Ruto, looking worried. "I'm fine. Darunia, could you do me a favor and not give a Goron hug to me ever again? You are the mighty Sage of Fire!" Link said, dazed. "Sure, brother", Darunia said, hitting him on the back as he was getting up. Link moaned. After getting away from Goron City with Darunia, they met with Impa and rode to Kokiri Forest. Link always enjoyed going to his home and talking with the Deku Sprout. As soon as they came into the forest, people crowded around them. "Hello, Hero of Time!" they all shouted. "Hello, people of the Kokiri!" the group greeted back. As the others went to get Mido, Link went to the Deku Sprout. "Hello, Deku Sprout", he greeted. "Link, I'm troubled! I sense evil coming upon Hyrule. I think that this evil will take someone you cherish." The sprout said. "WHO? WHO?" Link asked. "I can only see a girl…singing with horses!" "MALON!" he said. He ran back to Kokiri Forest. He saw the group with Mido. "Mido, you better stay here." he said. "Link, what's wrong?" Impa asked. "I just talked with the Deku Sprout, and he says that Hyrule is in danger! He also said that my friend Malon from Lon Lon Ranch is in danger!" Link said. They all got on their horses and they went off. When they reached Hyrule Field, lightning was crashing everywhere. A huge red light was coming from Lon Lon Ranch. They went straight towards it. Once they got there, they saw Malon being taken by a man in a black cape. A hole in the ground appeared and they jumped in and were gone. The hole also vanished. "MALON!" Link yelled, as the rain was falling on his face.
