Equestria Warriors: Displacement of a Hero

Darkness. That's all I saw. An infinite amount of darkness. Wait, how'd I get here again?

EARLIER THAT DAY

"Come on Johnny, we're gonna be late! I don't wanna miss the signing event in Hall B!" Mikey yelled from downstairs.

We were going to Comic-Con. I was dressed as Link from the Hyrule Warriors game, while Mikey was dressed as M. Bison from Street Fighter.

"Alright! I'll be right down man!" I yelled back, still looking for my scarf.

I had swore I left it on my dresser, but I couldn't seem to find it. It just seemingly vanished into thin air.

"Guess I'm going without it." I said to myself as I carried the rest of my gear down to the living room.

"What kept you man? Were running behind!" Mikey snapped as he waited by the door.

"Sorry man. Couldn't find my scarf." I apologized. He just rolled his eyes at me.

"Dude, I'll buy you a new one at the Con. Let's just go." He said as we headed out to the car.

AT COMIC-CON

I was still a bit bummed out that I didn't have my scarf. After all, I'd spent months making it myself, so it felt like a huge waste of time now. Looking around I didn't see many vendors around us selling any Zelda merch until Mikey tapped my shoulder.

"Dude, that the scarf you need man?" He said, pointing to a vendor in the corner. Hanging on his display wall was a very nice looking replica of Links iconic scarf.

"Yea man! Thanks for looking out!" I thanked him as he handed me a crumpled Fifty.

"Aight man, here, go get it and keep the change. I need to find a bathroom." And with that, he walked away.

As I approached the booth, I noticed the vendor was dressed like a merchant from one of those zombie games Mikey played.

"Uh, hey. How much for the scarf?" I asked as he looked up from his book.

"Twenty five and it's yours." He said in a deep, raspy voice. Handing over the 50, he gave me the scarf and my change.

"Seems now you are complete, enjoy your trip." He said with an evil grin. I had already begun to walk away as I turned to look at him.

"What?" I asked, but he was gone. So was everyone else. Then everything faded to darkness.

PRESENT

I awoke under the cover of trees, sunlight streaking through the branches. I sat up and looked around in confusion.

"This isn't the convention center.... where tge hell am I?" I wondered aloud as I tried to get my bearings.

Looking down at my hands I noticed they were smaller than they should be. I began frisking my own form, finding I was scrawnier than I should be as well. I was still wearing Links outfit, but the materials felt more durable. Then I felt my face, and then my ears.

"I'm an elf? Wait no... not an elf. I'm a Hylian!"

I started freaking out for a moment before I felt a rush of calm. I had no idea where it came from, but it helped me focus. Looking around I saw that I was in a small clearing in a forest, but aside from that all I could see was a mountain peak far off into the distance.

"Hmm... seems like I'll need to do some exploring." I muttered as I stood up. I then noticed how heavy my gear was. Drawing my sword, I noticed it was now actual metal, not the soft foam it had been before. The same went for my Hylian Shield. Despite this, they still felt lighter than they should.

"How odd..."

Giving it a couple test swings, I found I could wield it effortlessly.

"Well, if this is real and I'm not dreaming, then I have a few questions needing answers..."

Finding the tallest tree near me, I climbed it to try and gain a better view to see where I was. A few times I nearly fell, but eventually I made it to the top.

"Holy crap..."

The forest sprawled out as far as I could see, which honestly wasn't that far. I did catch a glimpse of a structure a little was away, but what it was I couldn't tell from here.

"That looks like a decent place to start"

Climbing down, I made a few mental notes:
One, I wasnt human anymore. And two, I had to find out where in God's name was I.

As I began to trek through the forest I tried to look for anything I may recognize, though nothing seemed to click. The sun was just beginning to set as I approached the structure, and it hit me as to what this place was. It was the Temple of Time, but it looked more like it did in Breath of the Wild. It was in a very bad state of decay, as if it had been abandoned for centuries.

"Interesting..." I said as I walked in through a collapsed part of the wall. The inside looked just as bad as the outside, crumbling stone blocks scattered all over from the ceiling.

At the very back of the Temple where the goddess statue should be just sat a pristine looking chest.

"Well that's not suspicious..."

Walking up to it, it seemed rather unremarkable. It was a simple wooden chest, banded in iron. Out of curiosity I kicked it, causing it to pop open. Golden light emitted from it as text appeared in front of me accompanied by a small jingle.

You got the Heroes Bow

As soon as I looked away from the chest, the text disappeared. Yet I didn't have the bow in my hands.

"I wonder how I use it then..."

"I can show you how, young hero..." A voice said behind me, causing me to jump and spin around. Floating slightly was a beautiful woman with long bronze hair, deep green eyes, and wearing a flowing white gown.

"Who are you?" I asked her, unsure if I should draw my sword or not.

"I am the goddess Farore."
