Okay here it is:
The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening
Prologue
It was a bright, sunny day in the land of Hyrule. Staring out in to the the vast azure waters of Hyrule's coast, Link felt the gentle breeze that blew by. He seemed to be filled with joy. Today was the day he and the Royal Navy would set out to the beautiful island-country of Labrynnia. It wasn't the fun filled type of trip one would expect; this was a mission. Get to your destination, pick up the cargo, and safely make it home. The cargo, in this case, was Princess Zelda, heir to the Hylian throne and Link's friend since childhood. After a few brief moments of pondering the nature of his mission, Link turned around to see friends and a squad of Navy officers talking and mingling.
"It's gonna be a long voyage, boy," said captain Marcus Sanders, the fearless captain of the Harbor Mist and the commander of the elite squad that will accompany him on his trip.
"Time goes by rather quickly, Captain," Link said with a smile. He turned again to once again stare into the seemingly endless horizon.
"I believe that coming from you, Link," Marcus said with a chuckle while giving a small rub to his trimmed, black beard.
"I can't wait to see her...It's been so long"
"Don't you worry, boy. The voyage lasts only a total of three week, so it will be about a year since we all last saw her"
"Captain, a lot can change in a year. Remember what happened seven years ago with Ganondorf? And not even a month later, Termina was almost destroyed by Majora."
"Yes, of course I do. It'll be alright. I assure you." There was a brief moment of silence. " Anyway," Marcus said at last, " I came over here to tell you we're going to set sail soon. Say your last goodbyes and come aboard the ship"
"I'll be there in a minute," Link told him.
"Alright, we'll set sail once you're aboard."
Link made his way over to a group of his closest friends. He pulled aside a girl clothed in green with bright, blue eyes.
Saria was a Kokiri. The Kokiri were Hyrule Natives that lived in the Kokiri Forest, located 50 miles due south of Hyrule Town. They were offspring of the Great Deku Tree. Link had lived with the Kokiri for seven years as a child. Saria was his best friend.
"I thought you might need this," Saria said, handing Link a sword. " You know, just in case of a pirate attack."
"Thanks. I appreciate it. Link replied. "I wish you could come with us."
"I can't. I have to keep watch over the Forest Temple," Saria informed him.
"Well then goodbye, Saria."
"Goodbye, Link"
The two hugged goodbye, and Link boarded the Harbor Mist.
"Raise the anchor and lower the sails!" Captain Marcus commanded. " We're heading out!"
"Aye aye, Captain!" replied a stern voice from somewhere aboard.
The ship slowly drifted away. Link watched his friends and the land become smaller and smaller until everything disappeared over the horizon. All that was left to do now was wait. Okay here it is:
