"C'mon guys! Let's get to it! Jump up there and... Uh... I can't thing of anything that makes sense with 'it'..." A young Hylian boy with bright green hair, dressed in a cheerleader outfit, began to jump around, waving some yellow pom-poms like a maniac to cheer on his two identical fellow heroes, who were silently pleading to Din that she shut him up.
"Shh! Okay, we get it! The magic bar still isn't recharging, even though you are SUPPOSED to be able to recharge that. But, as I said earlier, If can only fit ONE arrow into this bow, then our magic obviously isn't working. You trying to raise it up isn't working, so you can cut it out now... What did you say your nickname was again?" A red haired boy, who looked very much similar in comparison to the boy in green, asked directly at the boy wearing his cheerleader outfit.
"My names Link, but you can just call me Deity. I mean, I DO have a cool nickname. The Hero of Time had a mask called Fierce Deity, and since I have the same name as The Hero of Time, my mom and dad just called me Deity." Deity explained. He had some amazing sideburns that could make a lady swoon and gasp, but looked rather ridiculous and hard to take serious in that supposed "magical" cheerleader outfit.
"Oh... Uh, okay..." The red haired Link turned away from him to look for the blue haired boy, who, you guessed it, had the same name as the other two. "I... I think I'm getting a little confused..." He muttered. With all these Link's being thrown around, it was hard to keep track of who was who. The green haired one was called "Deity", he was called "Tael", and the other one? He had no clue what he called himself. Three days in a cave, with their only bonding topic being food and how to get out of there, and the blue haired boy had spoken not a word.
"Hey! Over there, uh, Tael was it?!" Deity pointed excitedly at a huge gap in the wall of the dungeon, and a blue haired Link glanced over before pulling out his boomerang, and giving a short wave to signal them he was fine with picking them up whenever they approached.
"Well then, come on Deity." Tael stood up, and ran for the gap spanning almost 80 feet long, before jumping up, and getting picked up by the boomerang. As he soared through the air atop the magical rang', he caught a glimpse of a purple rupee, and sadly sighed, knowing he would not have time to figure out how to get it.
Tael was then lifted up by Link, who had caught him with the boomerang.
"Thanks." Tael uttered.
"Mmm." The blue Link responded, looking up at him with a very lazy look, as if it were nothing.
Tael narrowed his eyes at him.
"You don't talk much do you?" He asked slowly.
Tael had a perfectly justifiable claim for this, since Link had, as previously mentioned, not uttered a word since they had been here. Not. A. Word. That is unless you counted-
"Mmm." The blue Link yawned.
"Uh... yeah, okay then. What should I call you?" Tael asked.
"Hmm..." Link seemed to ponder.
"I guess I'll just call you Link then, okay?" Tael asked tiredly this time.
"Mmm..." Link simply nodded, before waving Tael off in a very rude manner. Tael scrunched up his fists, and stormed off due to Link's sheer ignorance at the matter at hand. His ego had gone unchallenged until now, and it really seemed to aggravate him that Link insisted on his sheer silence. That is unless you counted the "Mmm's", which you shouldn't.
"Grr... stupid Link, thinking he's all hotshot mute over here..." Tael muttered under his breath.
A few moments later, Deity was up there with them, after Link tossed his trusty boomerang at his fellow (yet mute), hero.
"Okay guys, we need a plan to get back to the lobby. You see, none of our outfits are working worth squat, so we are basically going to be doing this with only sheer handsomeness, teamwork, and our tools. Okay, Tael, since our magic won't work, you have a limited amount of arrows. How many do you have right now?" Deity asked.
"Yeah, of course. Uh, 4 arrows. No, five. Yeah. Definitely 5." Tael responded, a bit unsure.
"Great. Well, not great, but okay. Uh... What's your name, Link?" Deity wondered aloud.
"He's a mute." Tael muttered, fiddling with his sword.
"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" Deity asked, who had obviously not spent any time observing what his friends were like.
"Hyah!" Link shouted, attracting the attention of the other two boys.
"What in the name of..!" Tael unsheathed his bow, before letting out a responding war cry.
A white, small figure was chasing poor Link in circles, hissing. It was unclear as to how that it got there, but it was there now, which meant it had to go.
"Tael, don't just stand there, shoot it!" Deity yelped.
Tael broke free from the hesitation, and let an arrow fly. And... He missed.
"What in the name of Ganon, Tael! Shoot it, it's scratching Link!" Deity shouted.
"I'm trying! I'm used to the Kokiri clothes, and being able to fit in three arrows!" Tael complained.
Tael notched another arrow...
And he missed. Unlucky, possibly?
"Hey! You are a horrible shot!" Deity yelled angrily, looking absolutely hilarious in the cheerleader outfit.
"You couldn't do any better!" Tael yelled back, even angrier.
"I guarantee you I can hit something, Tael!" Deity exclaimed, pointing at the bow.
"You couldn't hit the MOON if it was crashing down on you!" Tael guaranteed.
"Your on, ZELDA." Deity sneered. Tael only growled angrily in response.
Deity snatched the bow and arrows from Tael's hands, before taking CAREFUL, CAREFUL, aim.
And... He hit something, that's for sure.
"Owwwwwww!" Link yelped, jumping nearly 10 feet in the air.
"Oh... Whoops, hehe." Deity shamefully gave Tael his bow and one single arrow back, before whistling in pity and shame for his friend. By now, Link was running around in frantic, painful hops, with an arrow stuck in his shoe.
"Sorry bout that, Tael." Deity apologized. Tael only shook his head, and pulled the bow string back.
He took careful aim, and the arrow went flying. Flying gracefully through the air, it spiraled right next to the strange, strange creature. It missed the creature by inches, centimeters really, but instead slammed right into a rock, destroying it instantly. Several rocks we're being held up by that rock in an intricate pattern, and tumbled down in a sloppy mess.
"Well then." Deity whispered, kicking up a cloud of a dust.
The creature instantly stopped it's assault on poor Link, and ran through the rubble right through a crack in the cave wall. It was all done and over in a matter of seconds, and Link could not help but pant from exhaustion.
"What... The... Heck is wrong with you two?" Link asked in an absolute fit of anger. He jumped around in his boomerang outfit as he glared at the two heros.
"I didn't know you could talk." Deity said sheepishly.
"Of course I can, dingbat! I just didn't WANT to, because talking was not worth my time. Heck, I dunno why I'm even talking to you two idiots now! We've been stuck down here for days with only crackers and water to eat, it's cold, dark, and I dunno where the exit even is. At that point I didn't WANT to talk, but I guess I HAVE to now that you've let me get scratched up and shot me!" Link screamed. "And for the record, my nickname is Midna, if you desperately had to know." He realized these two would make fun of him for the origins of the name, and shyly turned away with a blush on his face as both Deity and Tael began to snicker.
"Midna? From the Twilight realm? Bwahahaha!" Tael burst into laughter.
"Hey, that's a lot of talk from someone nicknamed after a fairy!" Midna shot back.
Deity was howling with laughter, on his back now and clutching his stomach as if it would explode if he let go. Of course, after many more comebacks and insults, he stood up to put a stop to it.
"Hey, hey, guys, cut it out! We need to focus on the task at hand!" He said, wiping a tear from his eye.
"Yeah, sure. But only because me and you are cool. Truce Midna?" Tael asked, holding out his right hand.
"Sure. Whatever gets us out of this mess. Truce, Link." Midna confirmed. They shook hands, and that was that.
"Alright, that weird creature thing-"
"It was a cat." Midna interrupted, shuddering.
"All... right... The... CAT, it went through that hole right there," Deity pointed at the crack in the wall, "and I suggest we follow it. Who knows, it might be Madame Couture's-"
"No! I don't want her to see us like this, she will flip her fashion if she sees us like this!" Tael exclaimed suddenly, with wide eyes.
"Well, I'm going. I'm sick and tired of eating crackers and sipping water." Midna complained again. Deity nodded in approval before leading the Midna through the hole.
"Uh, guys! I-I was just kidding, wait up!" Tael exclaimed, before dashing out of the dark room as fast as he could.
<20 seconds later~>
"What in the name of Princess Zelda is this place?" Midna asked. They had all stepped into a bright and colorful world, much different from their own.
"I don't know. Nobody knows. But gosh darn, these materials would look really snazzy on some of my outfits." Deity said, absolutely adoring the flowers and trees.
"Uh, yeah. Hey, that looks like a town over there. We need to see what part of the drablands we're in now." Tael directed.
They stared silently for a second at all the stuff around them before Midna jumped in surprise.
"Guys! I think I know where we are!" He said in panic.
"Huh? Calm down, Midna, it can't be that bad. I mean, remember the boiling lava place? No Goron suit, and we still made it." Deity laughed.
"No! You guys know the fairy tales right? About the one place called Equestria? When the moon began to fall, and the Hero of Time saved some place called... Ponyville?" Midna asked in terror.
"Huh? Yeah, I remember that weird fairy tale. Didn't sound like too much thought was put into naming that town, and- OH NO!" Tael exclaimed in realisation.
"Oh yes! The place that the Hero of Time saved! I mean, it honestly wasn't worth it... They made friendship a subject you HAD to study in school apparently... But wow! This place should have been long gone, what with the ancient sea practically taking over the planet." Deity observed.
"Well, I mean... We did kind of overdo it with the fashion though..." Deity admitted, staring down at his bra, which was irritating him for some reason. "Why... Why did she even give me a bra?" Deity muttered, before tossing it aside.
"Okay. Okay... Crap, I'm not ready for this. My dad used to give me shivers about how... unnaturally friendly they all are." Midna gave a fake shiver before laughing.
"Shush! I say we go to talk to some townsfolk and see if they have a local outfit designer. We need new ones, pronto. These outfits are done and over with, no can do comprende?" Deity asked.
"Yup. Hey, what about the fairies?" Tael asked.
"Oh man... Please tell me you picked up our fairies, Midna..." Deity pleaded.
"Well... I hope they know how to get home, because I don't." Midna sighed.
"Darn. Okay, enough messing around, let's get down there and talk to ponies... Oh god, that sounded strange." Tael laughed.
And so, our three little heroes began there new story here, and left off to see what they could do to return home.

Tael kicked a rock on his way down the hill to the town. And of course, he came up with a way to blame it on Midna. Midna, who was just trying to ignore the other two, was instantly angry at Tael for his strong accusation, partially because it made absolutely no sense. Deity tried reasoning with the two, but was utterly cut off by Midna who called him a High School Jock loving freak, and commented how annoying him dancing around with pom poms was for the sake of the "team". And after that, Deity just blew up on both of them.
Those were all the things that were happening, as the now 82 year old immortal Princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle, spied on them. They were an odd bunch, who reminded her of her old friends. She knew they were just little boys, who looked human, who were obviously giving each other a hard time. She sighed, smiling in a sort of dream as she watched them yell at each other. It was funny to think that only a couple of years ago, that was her. She frowned for a fraction of a second, before shaking off all the bad thoughts.
"HEY! HEY! HEY! LISTEN!" Midna chanted, angrily, mimicking somebody they all knew stories of FAR to well.
"Quit joking about my name! You imp!" Tael howled.
"Shut up! We have to at least TRY to look civil when we go down there. I mean, look at us. With these dashing sideburns, perfectly dyed hair, and the stylish outfits, we HAVE to be presentable. And, Tael, Midna could not have caused that rock incident. You were running down the hill, and you kicked that rock as hard as you could." Deity yelled over the two of them. Of course, it was still was hard to take him seriously with the cheerleader outfit on, and nobody really cared what he had to say.
"Well, at least my outfit didn't have a BRA included." Tael replied sarcastically.
"Oh really, huh? Well at least I wasn't nicknamed after someone who acted as Skull Kid's slave." Deity replied with a smirk.
Twilight instantly saw the situation escalating quickly, and decided to put their argument to a halt.
"HEY! Don't fight!" Twilight jumped out of the bush that she had been in (Like the stalker she is), and stared them all down. "You all seem very friendly, and it would be so much better-"
"WHO ARE YOU?!?" They all shouted in unison, and in shock.
"Huh? Oh, excuse me. My name is Twilight-"
"ATTACK!" They shouted together once more, unsheathing their hilariously short swords.
"Wait, hold on a second!" Twilight exclaimed, a panicked look overcoming her.
They all charged at her, screaming like crazy, and waving their swords around like they had never used a blade before. With a giggle, Twilight simply lifted herself up into the air out of their reach. With a sigh of relief, she glanced down at them.
"Hold on, I can explain-"
"TOTEM TIME!!!" Midna ordered.
Twilight watched in shock, and in awe, as they climbed atop each others shoulders, and began to swing their swords at her. She flyed a little bit higher so they couldn't slice her up into little bits, and stared down at the three of them.
"Wow! You little guys are EXTREMELY good with one another!" She laughed as Deity threw one of his Pom Pom's at her as his last-ditch effort.
"Okay guys! The pony thing isn't going down without a fight! We should have expected this, with them being stuck underground for who knows how long!"
"Uh, Midna, you just told us how UNBELIEVABLY friendly they were from the storybooks..." Deity thought aloud.
"Yeah, and I also told you your bra came with the uniform for a reason, Mrs. Link." Midna rolled his eyes.
"Ooh, I aught to just smack you..." Deity whispered to himself.
"Okay you guys, cut it out. This isn't very friendly of you all." Twilight pleaded, far above them so none of them could suddenly TOTEM TIME their way up there and knock her out of the sky like a burning helicopter.
"Huh? Oh yeah! That pony thing's still there you idiot!" Deity exclaimed.
"Hey, I'm not going to hurt you little guys, and WAIT A SECOND!" Twilight instantly recognized them. "You three are Hylian boys, am I not correct?" She questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Um, should we trust her?" Deity asked to neither of the two in particular.
"Uh, I don't see the harm in telling this pony thing about our species type and our gender." Tael decided.
"Yeah, I don't either. I mean what is she going to do with that type of information? Call guards?" Midna agreed.
"Welp, yeah. I'm Hylian, Tael over there is is also a Hylian, but he can also be called a fairy if you so wish," Deity began.
"Hey!" Tael exclaimed angrily.
", and that one over there is a wolf loving imp who likes to be mean to people. He also pretends he's a mute on occasion." Deity finished.
"Hey! You forgot to tell her that you like to dress up like a girl and prance around like a bunny!" Tael shouted.
Midna did nothing but growl at Deity, as Twilight chuckled.
"Interesting. You know, usually we get HUMANS here, who make everypony really uncomfortable. Humans can get a little bit ahead of themselves, and do some... Questionable things. I knew a hylian boy, much like you three, who saved our land from utter destruction from an entity known as Nightmare Moon. My name is Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship in Equestria and-"
"How can you be the Princess of Friendship? That just amazes me that you can be given a crown and royalty status just for living here and having popular friendship status. Tael, Deity, and me are only given a glowing yellow triangle to make us pleased with the work we do. You have a whole crown dedicated to just-"
"Let me just stop you right there." Twilight interrupted. "I was given this title because I represent what keeps the world from falling apart, which is the relationship with others, and how that everypony works with one another. Now let me finish..." The three shared glances at the word "Everypony", but shrugged it off, and returned their attention to the "Princess". "Long ago, Nightmare Moon warned her sister that if she did not give up her position on the thrown, than the entire country would be annihilated. This was about, perhaps, 200 years ago."
"How did you know this kid if your only like, 20? That's how old you look." Tael interrupted.
"I'm getting to that! Now, this boy, he was a Hylian, like you three. His name was Link, if I recall what his fairy told me. He wore a tunic, sported a sword similar to your three's, and he also had an Ocarina..." The three Link's faces lit up, as they instantly realized who it was that she was talking about. ", However, we did not meet for quite some time, and our continent would have been destroyed eternally had it not been for the fact that we had snuck in a fake prophecy."
"What the heck are you talking about lady?" Midna asked.
"As soon as the moon began to fall, and crush us all, Princess Celestia pleaded with our neighboring continent to send their fabled Hero of Time to save us from our impending doom. Sadly, they denied our request due to the boy having gone to compete in a world re-known tournament fighting sport called Super Smash Brothers. So, for our final hours... We gave up. And we got crushed. But then... Time almost... Restarted, per say, back before the boy was even born. Celestia saw her chance to save us from future epidemic, and created a prophecy for the Hylian Kingdoms, that told of a boy stopping the moon from destroying his neighboring kingdom. And through the power of Music, masks, and a bit of luck, he banished Nightmare moon to a mask known simply as Majora. And then he set off, never to be seen again. Rumors say he went to find his fairy Navi. Others say he wandered off to start a family. I can't agree with either, and it wouldn't matter anyways."
"Cool. Now, where's the magic Boomerang outfit? And the Kokiri clothes? And, just for my best friends pleasure, his little Cheerleader outfit? Bra included, mind you." Midna chuckled.
"That joke you're using on me is going to get old." Deity warned.
"Magic... Outfits?" Twilight asked, puzzled. She had expected them to ask questions about what had happened prior to them arriving, but all they seemed to care about was... Outfits?
"Yeah, pony person! The clothes!" Tael yelled.
"Oh! Sweetie Belle, of course!" Twilight face palmed, oops, I mean HOOFED. (Happy now Mr. Pre-Reader?).
"Okee Dokee, lead us Mrs. Friendly stalker bush pony!" Midna commanded. Twilight stared at them for a second with wonder, before shaking it off and leading them down the hill to Ponyville.
"So, do you guys like to dance?" Tael asked with almost no real interest.
"Where are you coming from, Tael?" Deity asked, suddenly intrigued.
"Yeah, what are you talking about?" Midna asked, interested.
"Hey! Mrs. Sparkle!" Tael called.
"Hmm? Do you need something?" Twilight asked, gliding gently to the floor.
"If you dance for us we will be your best friends." Tael said simply, snickering under his breath.
"Uh, I'm a very horrible dancer. And I barely know you three. So, no thank you. That's, uh, very nice of you though." She whispered the last part, because they were starting to make her feel really nervous, although they weren't nearly as weird as those OTHER humans.
The four of them finally arrived at the bottom of the hill, right at the entrance of the town.
"Okay you three. Now I need you to listen up, and listen closely. The ponies in this town get really riled up when newcomers are introduced, and they might get in your personal space. Please just ask them nicely to let you through." Twilight asked.
"Okay. We just need some costumes, and we'll be out of here in no time." Deity strutted straight into town, and nearly got hit by a bus as tons of Townsfolk came out to greet him.
"Hi~!"
"Oh, a newcomer~"
"What's your name? Are you Hylian?"
"Oh, thank you! Thank you so much for saving our country!" One of them cried.
"Eww! Twilight! They're making me feel REALLY uncomfortable..." Deity shouted. He stared at the other two heroes with pleading eyes, before some pony with a green mane grabbed him. "AGH! G-Get away from me!" He jumped out of the ponies hooves, and ran away at full speed down the street screaming, which only attracted more ponies to the crowd. Thankfully, not a single pony noticed Twilight and the other two, who were both cowering in fear.
"Look! I told you that they're all really nice! Just tell them you have to see Sweetie Belle, and you'll be fine. Don't be afraid if you get back to my castle, and theirs a big party inviting you to our town, either. The young party pony who works as our party planner is really good at what she does." Twilight smiled, before letting out a soft sigh. "Yeah."
"Uh, your castle? We have to go home, we don't have time for pony stuff." Tael explained.
"Yeah! Madame Couture will KILL us when she sees us in clothing she hasn't made as it is! And we've already been gone for three days now, she isn't going to be happy. AT ALL!" Midna agreed.
"What? Uh, you can't! We need you guys now more than ever!" Twilight shouted.
"What? What for?" Tael asked, suddenly very suspicious.
"Look, I can't explain the EXACT details right here, but please. We really do need your help. If the Hero of Time could do the nearly impossible, then three of you should surely be able to do a simple little task." She reasons.
"Hmm... This better not be a big trick that screws us over, lady. Where do you even live?" Midna asked.
"In a castle. It's the only castle in town. You can't miss it." She replied with a very sarcastic lift of the eyebrow.
"Cool. I guess we'll regroup there then."
"Fantastisch! Ahem, sorry. Fantastic!"
The two boys nodded, before shuffling into town as slowly as they could, and as quietly as they could on a recon mission to rescue Deity from the clutches of evil.
"AHH! The fangirl want to taste my hair!" Deity screamed, as he sat atop the totem pole.
"I know! I know! They ALL want our hair!" Midna shouted back, staring around in fear in the middle of the pole.
"Where do I go? Where do I go?" Tael scanned the shops on the street they were on, before looking up in despair to see where he should go.
"Th-that way! There's a big building there for us to hide near!" Deity pointed, and sure enough, a building called Carousel Boutique rested quietly in the midst of the chaos.
Tael ran as hard as his little feet could take him, before slamming right into the door.
"Quick! Get in! GET IN!" Tael screamed, as the trailing pack of intrigued ponies trailed ever closer. The three ran right in, before closing the door and taking a deep breath.
"Oh! Newcomers!" A voice from the dark depths of the room called.
