"So, Navi, how exactly are we gonna be able to tell who this person is?"

"I’m not sure. I’m still thinking about it."

"Don’t strain yourself. It’s really too early in the morning to be thinking so hard," Link replied through a yawn.

Navi was fluttering near the doorway of the treehouse while Link was inside examining the Ocarina of Time. It was so simple-looking. He wondered how something so simple-looking was so powerful. "Can this thing really get me all the way to Earth?" Link muttered.

Time passed quietly as the two thought. Navi thought, thought, and thought some more. Link yawned, obviously getting bored.

"I’ve got it!!" Navi yelled, suddenly breaking the silence.

"What? You’ve got what?"

"How to find the person of destiny Zelda told us about. The Ocarina of Time has magical power, right?"

"That’s what Zelda says anyway. It isn’t very magical-looking to me."

"It does, Link, just leave it at that, okay? Anyway, it’s only logical to think that the person of destiny’s magic power would react to a magical item like that. We’ll have to look for a person who reacts to the Ocarina."

"So how do we do that? I’m sure it’s more complicated than waving the thing in their face to see if they react."

"Well, of course. Perhaps a song would do the trick. A song with magical power in the notes."

"Like the Song of Time? That one’s supposedly connected with the Sacred Realm and the Triforce, right? Maybe this girl’s power will react to that."

"You’re probably right. It’s worth a try. But first, we have to get there. Are you ready?"

"Yeah, I’m ready to go if you are. Is there any special place we have to be to do this?"

"I’m not the one to ask, Link, but I doubt we need to be anywhere special to transport to Earth. We can probably do it from right here in the house."

"Well, then, come here and we’ll give it a try."

Navi fluttered out of the doorway, stopping over Link’s head. Link picked up a small knapsack off the table and tied it to his belt. Looking at the Ocarina, he tried to remember the notes of the song Zelda showed him. They wouldn’t get anywhere without that song. Just when Navi was about to ask what the problem was, Link remembered the song.

Taking a deep breath, Link began to play the song. A slow, beautiful melody flowed from the Ocarina of Time as a glowing light began to rise from the floor. Link opened one eye and watched the light rise and surround him and Navi. When he finished playing the song, Link slowly began to rise in the air. He and the little fairy disappeared in the bright light, leaving Hyrule behind.

".....I wonder who she is...." he thought.

"You are the one. The chosen one of destiny."

Lydia snapped alert, finding herself surrounded by nothing but blank darkness. "Who’s that? Who just spoke? Who’s there?"

The distant voice spoke again. "You are the one."

"What? What do you mean? And where in heck am I?"

"The day of destiny is near, chosen one. Prepare yourself."

"The day of destiny?"

The voice slowly faded into the distance as it said "Don’t worry, chosen one. You will accomplish your goal. Just believe in yourself."

"Hey! Hey! Come back here! What does this MEAN?"

A horribly harsh beeping sound suddenly erupted through the blank darkness Lydia had found herself in. She closed her eyes and covered her ears trying to block it out. She saw light as she opened her eyes again.

In this light she recognized her ceiling fan and bedroom window. But the harsh beeping sound was still going. Lydia looked over to see that her alarm clock was going off. As she turned it off she realized that it was all a dream.

"Well, that beeping is explained – just my alarm clock making a fuss. But....the chosen one? Day of destiny? What an odd dream. I swear I’m going nuts.  That’s it.  No more of Mom’s roast beef before bed."

After pulling on some clothes, Lydia decided to forget all about the dream. "Trying to figure something as weird as that out will just make my life complicated. I’m only ten, I don’t need complication at this point in my life," she said to herself as she ran down the stairs.

"I’m hungry! Moommm! Is breakfast ready?"

"Yes, yes!  Sit at the table."

Gordon was already at the table ready to eat. "So who beat who, today, huh?" Gordon said, looking very proud of himself for being first at the table.

"Ah, shut up. I’ll beat you to dinner."

"Yeah, sure."

Lydia sat down next to him and wondered if she should tell him about that weird dream. She decided to and went ahead, telling Gordon every last detail of the dream. She told him all about the darkness and the voice she heard. As she finished, she looked up to see Gordon eyeing her and giving her an odd look.

"You think I’m crazy, don’t you?" Lydia asked.

"I already know you’re crazy," Gordon replied, "but that’s not why."

"Why are you looking at me so funny, then?"

"Because I had the same dream two nights ago."

After breakfast, Lydia decided to go outside for a while. Ever since the Power Rangers show hit the TV stations, she almost never played outside anymore. Besides, she felt like getting some time to herself for once. Gordon was inside watching TV and their parents had left to go shopping. This was the perfect chance. She needed to think about that dream, and why Gordon had the same one.

The first thing she noticed was the vivid blue color of the sky that day. "I love blue skies. They make me feel so happy," she said to herself. She got comfortable in the grass and began to watch the clouds pass by overhead.

That didn’t last long, however, because something suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a golden...thing...that looked like three triangles connected to each other.

"Wha....what in the heck  is THAT? Could it be a UFO? No! No, girl, you don’t believe in that stuff, remember?"

She suddenly changed her beliefs as soon as a blue light dropped out of the center of the triangle formation and began heading her way.

As he came out of the light, Link glanced around the foreign world.

"Is this it? Did we make it?"

"Looks like it. I don’t think we’re in Hyrule anymore, Link." Navi replied.

The two were dropping from the sky surrounded by a blue light, heading for the ground of this new world Zelda had called Earth. At least, Link hoped that’s where they had ended up. They seemed to be heading toward a cute little blue house that caught Link’s eye. It looked like the type of house he’d only seen in storybooks. It was so peaceful and happy-looking.

"What a good way to start an adventure like this," Link said as they neared the ground, "A smooth journey through dimensions that looks like it’s gonna end with a soft landing at some pretty house."

The blue light suddenly disappeared and Link plummeted the last ten or so feet to the ground below.

Link winced in pain and opened his eyes. "So much for my soft landing....although...it was a lot softer than I expected it to be, falling that fast. How weird."

A voice suddenly rang out from under him. "Owww! Get OFF me!!" it yelled.

Link jumped up quickly after realizing he had landed on someone. "Oh, geez, I’m so sorry! Are you okay?" Link said as he helped the person up.

Groaning, the human pillow looked up at him. It was a brown haired girl with green eyes.

"I’m really, really, really sorry about landing on you like that."

"I’ve heard lots of UFO stories, but never any of you aliens landing ON somebody."

"Alien? Me? No, no, I’m no alien."

"Sure you are, you pointy-eared weirdo. You dropped from the sky from some Triangle Trio surrounded by a blue light. That’s alien activity if I’ve ever seen it."

Link decided that this girl wasn’t going to listen to him. "Fine. Believe what you want to believe then. I’m not an alien though. I’m from Hyrule."

"Where’s that planet?"

Link rolled his eyes. "Look here. I’m not, I repeat, NOT an alien, okay?"

"Okay, okay, Long Ears. You’re not an alien."

"My name isn’t Long Ears, either. My name is Link."

"Link, huh? Okay then, Link. My name is Lydia."

"Nice to meet you," Link said through a smile as he held his hand out.

Lydia cautiously shook the stranger’s hand. "Can I at least get an explanation, Link?"

"Before I give that explanation, I’d like to confirm something. Is this the land called Earth?"

Instead of answering Link’s question, Lydia suddenly stiffened. "Oh my God, Link, don’t move!"

Link stiffened too. "What?? What is it?"

"There’s a gigantic bug near your shoulder, bigger than any bug I’ve ever seen in my whole life! Don’t worry, I’ll get it," Lydia replied as she crept closer so swat the big bug.

Link suddenly realized what she was talking about and retreated. "No, wait! That’s no bug! Don’t swat it!"

Lydia backed off, still staring at the creature. "It really looks like a bug. What is it?"

"Her name is Navi. She’s my fairy."

Navi finally spoke up. "Hi there, I’m Navi. It’s nice to meet you."

"OHMYGOD the bug just SPOKE!" Lydia yelled as she jumped back a good three feet.

Link shook his head and started laughing. "Hey, could you please answer my question?"

"What was it? I don’t remember. I was too busy looking at the bug to hear you, I guess."

"I asked you if this is Earth."

"Of course it is! You really ARE an alien aren’t you? An alien who got lost in the wrong galaxy and you’ve come here asking for directions, right?"

"Great! We did make it, Navi! The song worked!"

"Right, Link! Good job! First try, too. I’m impressed." Navi said.

"’Scuse me, Link, just WHAT are you and the giant bug talking about?" Lydia asked.

Link glanced at Lydia. "Hmmm....listen, I have to go talk with Navi for a few minutes, okay?" he said to her.

"Um...yeah, sure," she replied

"Come here a minute," Link said to Navi.

The two walked to the other end of the house and Link knelt down by a bush. He glanced at Lydia again to make sure she was still where they left her. She was, although she was staring at their hiding place suspiciously.

"What is it, Link?" Navi asked.

"I really don’t think we should tell this girl much. I mean, it’s very, very obvious she isn’t going to shut up until she gets some kind of explanation. But I think it’s very unlikely that this weird girl is the person of destiny we need. We shouldn't tell her too much about us or she’ll just raise a fuss."

"I agree, but I have a weird feeling nagging me. We should test every girl we run into."

"Test? You mean with the Song of Time? You wanna bother testing THAT girl?"

"We should test everybody, Link. She should be near here somewhere, like Zelda said. We just have to look at every girl, including her, as odd as she may be."

"All right, all right."

Link stood up and walked back to Lydia, who was growing impatient.

"Um, Link?" Lydia began, "I was thinking while you were over there talking to your bug. I’m sorry for being so rude. I’m not usually like this. It’s just not everyday that someone falls from the sky and lands on me. Sorry."

Lydia looked at Link, obviously expecting him to say ‘I forgive you’ or something. Instead, he pulled the Ocarina of Time out of the sack he had with him. Link knew Lydia was curious about it, judging from the way she was looking at it. Without hesitation, Link began to play the Song of Time. The sad, beautiful notes filled the air and surrounded them. When Link finished playing the song, he looked at the girl. Nothing happened.

Link looked at Navi. "See? Told you."

Suddenly there was a bright flash of light. Link quickly looked back at Lydia in time to see a golden symbol appear on her forehead and glow brightly. Lydia’s eyes were wide open in surprise as sparkling rays of light shot out of the mark and filled the sky.

"Link! Look!" Navi shouted. "It’s the symbol of the Triforce! She’s reacting! Lydia is the person of destiny!"

"I don’t believe it! HER?"

"Do you need any more proof, Link? The Triforce wouldn’t appear on just anybody."

"Well, I do believe it, but I don’t believe it!"

Navi was getting confused.

"Well, when Zelda said we’d land near the person of destiny, she wasn’t kidding," Link said. "We landed ON her. …..Hey! Wait! Navi, do you see what I see?? There’s light coming out of the house, too!"

Navi looked at Lydia’s house. Just as Link said, there were rays of light coming out of the house as well.

While Navi was trying to figure that one out, the light dimmed from around the frightened girl. The blinding light disappeared, but the Triforce mark remained on her head as she shook lightly.

After trying several times, she finally managed to speak a few words. "Wha....wha.....what was.....?" she tried to say.

Link crept up to her. "Are you okay?"

She didn’t reply.

Link waved his hand in front of her face, still getting no response. "I think she’s in shock or something."

"Wouldn’t you be?" Navi replied. "And what about that light that came from the house? It was the same kind of light, wasn’t it?"

"Yeah it was." Link said. "I wonder what –"

Link stopped when the front door opened. A boy stumbled out of Lydia’s house. Link thought he looked about six or seven years old. He staggered up to them and began to speak, having as much trouble as Lydia did. "Lyd.....Lydia....did you see.....what just....happened....?"

Link couldn’t believe his eyes. The boy’s forehead also showed the mark of the sacred Triforce.

"Navi, look!" Link said. "Are you seeing this? TWO people reacted! Were there two people of destiny in the legend?"

"I don’t think so, but it looks like there are two people with the power we need!" she replied. "Wait until Zelda hears about this."

"First things first though," Link said. "Why don’t we get them inside? We need to give Lydia that explanation she wanted."
