Saria’s awakening... prequels

Instructions

117 years before the events of botw, Link was born. But this story isn’t about link. It’s about his younger sister named Saria. Saria was born 4 years after Link. She looked up to Link and loved him greatly. Link and Saria did everything together. Catching bugs, exploring ruins, or just sitting around a fire and talking. They grew very close but one day when link was about 17 he joined the hylian army. Saria never got to see him anymore. So Saria joined the army so she could spend time with her brother again. But when she went to apply they told her she had to try out. She knew some fighting from Link so she said ok. She tried out and made the army. Her first fight she got to fight along side link but he was different. He didn’t seem to care about her much any more. At the end of the fight princess Zelda delivered a message in person on the battlefield. She told them that she needed someone to assist her in her trip to Hateno tech lab. She needed to talk to the director of the lab about a ancient piece of technology called the sheikah slate. Just then a gold Lynel came out of nowhere and tried to attack the princess. “Look out!” Saria screamed. Link ran to Zelda and defended her. Saria ran over to help but link had already beat it by the time she arrived. Link gestured for her to leave. With tears in her eyes she softly said to link “Why don’t she you love me anymore? Your my brother!” And then she ran. Farther and farther away crying the whole time. Eventually when it was very dark she stopped. She checked her map to see where she was. She made it all the way to Faron sea. She sat down and cried herself to sleep. In the morning she traveled to the nearest village and found out Link had successfully protected Zelda on her trip to Hateno. “Why did she pick him? He’ll probably just betray her too.” She said. She wandered Hyrule for a few weeks wondering what to do next. She found out that Link had drawn the sacred Master Sword from its pedestal. “Great now EVERYONE is gonna like him.” Saria said. Then something horrible happened: Calamity Ganon was revived and was destroying hyrule. A few days later she found out from Kakariko village that Zelda had unlocked her sealing power protecting Link. She felt a sting of guilt. Her brother was in danger all the time and the last time she talked to him she was mad at him. She decided to go apologize. She found link at Hateno village heading to the tech lab. “Link!” She called. He stopped, turned around and ran to her. She hugged link and then said “Oh link, I’m so sorry. Please forgive me.” Link just hugged her. “Link! Who is that?” Zelda asked. “Hi I’m link’s sister Saria! I’ve always wanted to meet you!” Saria replied. “Oh! Well it’s nice to meet you!” Zelda said back, “Do you want to come with us?” “Of course! If you don’t mind that is.” Saria said with a grin. “No, I would love another friend to join us!” Zelda said. And with that they were off. Zelda and Saria quickly became friends. One day they were running through a field, trying to escape an attack. They were all injured. Zelda tripped over a rock surrounded by inactive guardians. Inactive but one. A bokoblin hit Zelda in the leg with an arrow. “Princess!” Saria screamed. Link removed the arrow and tied his hood around the wound. “I’ll be okay.” Zelda said wincing. Then the bokoblin snuck up behind link and hit him with a club. Link went unconscious. Then the guardian activated and targeted Zelda. “No!” Saria screamed. She grabbed a rusty shield from behind a tree as the guardian fired. She lunged forward with the shield blocking the attack but blowing her away. The blast reflected off the shield and destroyed the guardian. Zelda ran over to Saria to check if she was alright. She was badly burned and was knocked out. Two sheikah heard the blast and came to see if they were ok. “Take them to the shrine of resurrection.” Zelda said, starting to cry. The sheikah grabbed link and saria and brought them to the shrine where they would rest and heal for a long, long time...
