Equestria Warriors: Displacement of a Hero

"Farore?" Wait, was I actually in Hyrule?

As if reading my thoughts, she shook her head.

"No child, you are not in Hyrule. Not as you know it. You are currently residing in the Kingdom of Equestria. This land was, once upon a time, the land of Hyrule. But such is ancient history. I'm afraid your people are all but forgotten, save by a few..."

Her voice remained calm, yet I could sense a deep sadness in it. She floated over to me, setting a hand on my shoulder.

"A great evil is rising. An ancient evil bound to you by a thread of Fate. You may not be a Hero here yet, but I know you will rise against this evil and become one."

She stepped back, glowing slightly brighter.

"Now go Hero. I pray we meet again..."

She vanished in a flash, leaving me very confused now. But several questions had been answered for me. I was in familiar territory, but it has changed significantly. It was now called Equestria. Something about that name sounded so familiar, yet I couldn't quite place my finger on it. Speaking of fingers, I finally noticed the back of my hand.

"What the...."

On the back of my hand glowed three triangles. The Triforce! I watched in awe as it slowly faded, becoming part of my gauntlet. Shaking my head for a moment, I looked around. The sun was beginning to set, and I had a feeling these woods weren't nearly as friendly at night. I made my way to the back of the temple where the master sword usually slept in other Zelda games, only to find an empty room. I ignored that for now, focusing on setting up a litte campfire. In minutes I had it going, and I sat against the wall to process what had happened. Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.

THE NEXT DAY

Voices. I heard voices. My eyes snapped open and I looked around. There was nobody in my line of sight. Getting up as quietly as I could, I crouched by the door to the sword chamber, listening for the voices again.

"You guys, come on. You know we can't be here. It's too dangerous!" A young girl called out.

Her companions laughed at her.

"What's the matter Sweetie, afraid of ghosts?" One of them taunted.

"G-ghosts?" Sweetie asked in what sounded like fear.

"Oh yea," A third one answered, " I heard this place is haunted by an angry ghost, who eats scared little ponies!"

They laughed again, making me feel sorry for Sweetie. I stood and leaned out to look. I saw three vaguely humanoid beings at the other end of the temple, their voices getting thrown by the echo in here. One of them saw me and shrieked as I hid.

"What? You see it?" The first one teased.

"I-it was there! In the back!" Sweetie cried.

Man, I felt terrible for that now. Sorry kid. If I ever run into you again, I'll make sure to apologize.

"Uh huh, sure you did." The third one said with heavy sarcasm.

"I swear Scootaloo, I saw it!" Sweetie cried.

'I'm sorry for this Sweetie, but they need to be put in their place' I thought as I stepped into the doorway.

Sweetie immediately pointed at me, half covered in shadow.

"There! See!" She was still crying.

Her friends laughed and turned, only to stop when they saw me.

"Oh hay, it's real!" Scoot shrieked as they booked it.

"Wait for me!" The second yelled, leaving Sweetie all on her own.

"W-wait!" She cried, turning to run after them only to trip on one of the stones on the ground. She fell and bumped her head pretty bad.

I rushed across the room and slide by her side, gently pulling her to my lap.

"No no no... that looks bad..." I muttered, looking at the large scrape on her forehead. I now noticed she looked like a horse of some kind. The memory flitted through my mind and I realized why Equestria sounded familiar.

'Crap... I'm in a My Little Pony version of Hyrule?' I thought to myself as I carried her back to my little camp. I couldn't do much for her unless I could get her to a doctor. But I needed her to be awake to guide me.

I set her by the campfire and gave my scarf to be used as a pillow. She seemed fine, just unconscious for the moment. I gathered more wood for the fire and waited for her to wake up. It took her a few hours, during which I'd found out a few things about myself. I found a blue rupee in an old pot, and when I touched it, it vanished and I saw my wallet in the corner of my vision go up. Afew a seconds, it vanished. Ok, I had a HUD. It only seemed to trigger when I interacted with something that would change it. I wasn't sure if my hearts would be visible, but I assumed combat would probably bring them up.

It was dark by the time she showed signs of consciousness. Sweetie groaned a little, snapping me back to reality. I watched her sit up and look around, her face going pale as she saw me.

"Y-youre the..." She tried saying, but I raised a hand.

"I'm no ghost. Nor am I going to hurt you. I'm sorry for scaring you and your friends, but you woke me up." I said calmly, keeping my eyes on the fire.

She still seemed a little freaked out, but nodded. Her stomach grumbled as she blushed a bit.

"S-sorry, I haven't eaten in..." she tried to remember, "How long was I asleep?"

"Only a few hours, I'd say probably lunch was your last meal." I said, tossing more wood on the fire.

"Oh, then it should be dinner time now..." She said sadly, "Momma is gonna be so mad at me...."

I sighed a bit. I offered her some of the food I'd gathered.

"Have this. I tried to gather some of the edible plants, but these were all over the place." I offered her a couple roasted wild carrots.

She took them nervously before nibbling one.

"So... what's your name Mister?" She asked meekly.

"Me? Oh I'm..." I started, then I realized I shouldn't use my own name here, "Link. My name is Link."

She looked at me with a shocked expression.

"You... you're Link? The Legendary Hero?" She asked in amazement.

I chuckled a bit, then smiled kindly at her.

"That's yet to be seen. I'm the next incarnation of the Hero, as there can only be one at a time." I said and her amazement dimmed.

"Oh.. well, my name is Sweetie Belle." She introduced herself with a half bow.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sweetie Belle." I said with my own half bow.

This got a few giggles out of her, and a chuckle out of me.

"Now, sleep. Tomorrow I'll take you home." I ordered as she finished eating. She nodded and laid back down.

Things certainly were looking better. Only time would tell...
