MLP:FiM Video Game Crossover Saga - Legend of Zelda Series
Original Timeline: Minish Cap - Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the group waited for the green shirted child to wake, everyone was joined by an elder man the king addressed as Master Smithy, a black smith who lived south of castle town in the grasslands. Soon, the green shirted boy they now know as Link awoke and joined them as well.
"As all of you know, the sorcerer known as Vaati has turned my precious daughter to stone. While the picori blade could very well have restored her to normal, that blade is now broken. Tell me, Master Smith, what do you know of the Picori?" The king asked.
"Only what is known in the fairy tales: They are supposed to be really tiny." Master Smith admitted.
"That is true, but the Picori are no mere myth, they are most certainly real. Only the royal family knows the truth about them. They are hidden deep within the Minish Woods." The king said.
"What?! Then we must send the soldiers there at once!" Impa announced.
"No, soldiers will not do. The Picori will not show themselves to anyone but children." The King said.
"If that's the case, then why not send Link and those young ponies?" Master Smith asked.
"Wait, why us? I get Link, but why us?" Diamond Tiara asked.
"Well you are the only five of us who still fall in the age range of being children for ponies essentially." Sandbar admitted.
"So, we actually get to have an adventure? Sweet!" Apple Bloom said.
"If Link has recovered, then I shall ask this of him and the five young ponies: Restore the Picori blade and my precious Zelda back to normal." The king said.
"You can count on us." Silver Spoon said. Link then received the broken Picori blade to carry and Smithy's sword.
"Send the soldiers to search for Vaati at--" The king was about to say when a soldier rushed into the throne room.
"Your majesty! Urgant news; this mysterious pink pegasus child just started ordering monsters around!" The guard said.
"Pink Pegesus?! That has to be Cozy Glow. We've been looking for her." Twilight admitted.
"I trust you older ponies will take care of this, but just in case, I will assing a small attachment of guards to you all. The rest of the guards will search for Vaati." The king said.
"Well then, guess we best get going. We'll have to get Cozy Glow's answer once she's caught. Let's focus on rescuing Zelda and finding those Picori for now." Sweetie Belle said.
"Good point." Diamond Tiara said.
The new child group started searching the Minish Woods when they heard someone yelling for help. Upon checking it out, they found a strange hat-like creature being attacked by red beasts.
"What are those things?" Apple Bloom asked.
"They must be some of the monsters that came out of that chest. Let's get them." Scootaloo said. The group managed to dispatch the two red beasts.
"Oof, thank you all. Those creatures were very very rude." The hat-like creature said.
"You can talk?!" Diamond Tiara said, caught completly off guard.
"Of course I can talk child. My name is Ezlo. I am here hoping to find a way to break Vaati's curse on me." The hat-like creature said.
"You've been cursed too? We're on a quest to undo a different curse on the Princess Zelda that Vaati caused. We're told that the Picori Blade is the only way to break the curse, but currently that blade is broken. We're searching for the Picori so we can repair it." Silver Spoon said.
"I see I see. However, there's something you should be aware of young children: While the humans call them Picori, the race refer to themselves as the Minish. Strange how only this forest has kept that name. If you want to get into the Minish village located in this forest, you'll need my help." Ezlo said.
"Well then it's a good thing we saved you then." Scootaloo stated.
"Hold up, you're a hat creature. Hmm..." Apple Bloom said before grabbing Ezlo and placing him on Link's head. "There we go! You can ride on Link's head." Apple Bloom said.
"Huh...leave it to Apple Bloom to come up with the creative solution." Diamond Tiara said.
"Ah good thinking. It is most difficult for me to walk as I have no legs. Now, let us be off; time is ticking." Ezlo said.
"By the way, when we met Vaati, he said he was searching for something. Any idea what?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"I do indeed know what he is searching for, and time is ticking. The more time we spend wasting here, the more time we give to him finding what he's after. You do not need to know what it is yet, just know that if he does get it, then everything is in jepordy; not just Hyrule, but all of exitance." Ezlo said.
"Why? Will he become a god if he gets what he's after?" Scootaloo said. After a simple nod form Ezlo, her eyes went wide. "...N-no way..." Scootaloo said.
"Let's find the Minish Village, then once we figure out how to fix the Picori Blade, we let the others know." Diamond Tiara said.
"Good idea." Apple Bloom admitted. The group soon came across a giant stump that they had seen before.
"Just one moment if you would. Stand atop that giant stump there if you would." Ezlo said.
"Um...okay. I don't see what the..." Silver Spoon said. Suddenly, Ezlo shrunk the entire group down; they were all tiny sized. "BY CELESTIA, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" Silver Spoon exclaimed.
"Heh. Not bad eh? Just a bit of magic I picked up. Right now, your looking at the world through the eyes of the Minish themselves. I should warn you, that while your this size, you will find that some things are much different. For example, mere puddles at your normal size are bottomless swamps to the minish. So do tred carefully. Being this size is the only way you can get into the Minish village as it's entrance is far too small for you all at your normal size." Ezlo explained.
"Could've given us a little warning first..." Apple Bloom admitted. The group now traversed the woods being as tiny as the Minish themselves.
"That stump back there...what was that anyways?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"That was just a portal to the Minish side of the world. There are portals like that one scattered across Hyrule. The only way to restore the Picori Blade and stop Vaati's plan is to gain mastery of these very portals." Ezlo said.
"Fair enough. Guess this really is our adventure." Scootaloo said.
"Hope the others don't mind us taking all the glory. If mastery of those portals is the only way to stop Vaati's plan, then we may have become the only ones capable of stopping him period in a pinch." Silver Spoon said.
"Ah think in this case, ma sister would understand." Apple Bloom said.
"I could convince her, if need be." Diamond Tiara said. "That's kind of my thing." She added.
"Heh...too true." Apple Bloom admitted. The group headed for the Minish Village.
