I wandered the forests of Hyrule, aimlessly, looking for something to do. Anything would have been appreciated... Ever since I had returned from Termina, life had become calm...routine to the point of being boring. I needed something exciting, something to get the adrenaline flowing. That was why I was in the forests that day. The Kokiri children had been fussing because one of their newest arrivals had gone and darted into the woods, and they all feared he might turn into a Stalfos, or skeleton. There was no sign of him yet.
What's that? A noise in the bushes, to the left... They had thorns, but I ignored them as they tore into my deep-green tunic, trying to shove them aside. Behind them, I found not a child, not a Stalfos, not even a Deku scrub. Instead I saw what appeared to be ... a giant hole? What the hell? Curious, I walked closer to it, feeling somehow drawn inside, to whatever was beyond. With no second thoughts, I crawled into the pitch-black rift.
Now where was I? It definately wasn't any of the lands I had visited before. It looked nothing like Termina, and the only thing remotely Hyrule-like was the castle in the distance. I drew my sword and shield. Whatever awaited in this world, I wanted to be ready.

Well, Bowser had really done it this time. The big oaf of a turtle went and broke the Rainbow Road. NOW what's gonna happen? Sighing, I try to venture outside to see what the aftermath looks like, but two Toad-guards stop me as I walk downstairs.
"Princess! It's dangerous! You must stay inside!" they insist, trying to push me back up the stairs. I fight against them, trying to get past.
"I'll be all right. I won't go very far, just down the road a bit. That won't be very dangerous, will it?" I reasoned, knowing they'd give in if that's what they thought. They indeed did, and I wandered outside, staring upwards at the sky once I'm in the open air. It looked like...creatures were falling... I stood, frozen in place. It was definately an odd sight. I just hoped these...people?...were willing to help with the Rainbow Road, and that they were friendly...
