Mistaken identity

'Twas a frosty winter day in Hyrule when Link was walking along in Hyrule field. He was minding his business and sometimes stopping to practice his swordsmanship on random trees and bushes. He was pretending that Ganon had come back to wreak more havoc and he had something to do.

The Hero of Time was bored. He sat down on the cold ground and decided to have a snack that he had brought with him.

As he was eating a piece of Hylian chocolate cake, all of a sudden, a blue butterfly flew by his head. He ignored it.Then, a moment later, a second went by, and then a third.

"That's odd." he said.

Link heard a sound as of someone traipsing through the woods. He could tell they were trying to be quiet and agile, but his long ears with their accute hearing picked up even the tinest of sounds in the forest. Link stood up and drew his sword, dropping his cake on the ground in a chocolatey mess.

Out of the forest emerged a young girl. As Link looked at the person a little closer, he noticed the lack of certain female attributes where there should be some. Then he realized that he was looking at a man.

"Who are you?" he asked the stranger.

THe man said, "I am a young boy with a ready smile. People and animals are drawn to me." To prove this, he held out his hand and a butterfly landed on it.

"How sweet, " said LInk. "Wait a tic. I know you. You're from a fanfic that had me in it."

Suddenly the man got down on his knees. "You are my king! THe cured cripple!"

Link said, "Sorry, I'm Link. I'm no king. I don't think I was ever a cripple"

"Whatever! ANd today is a day for celebration, my love!.......I mean, my KING."

"How come?" said Link, ignoring the young man's insistence that he was not only the king, but his love.

"Because finally our dreams have been answered! We have been published!"

Suddenly it all came together in Link's mind. "I know what happened. Our writer.....make that YOUR writer, decided to write an "original" story and rename me. I remember it all now. You are part Sheikan and....."

"I know of no Sheikan of which you speak,"

"And some guy with black hair and a cheesy scar on his face slices you all up or something."

"That Fiend!" shouted the young girlish man, even though he rarely raised his voice and was usually soft spoken and shy. But don't let that make you think that he wasn't possessed of a sharp wit, because he is.

" That means that......"

"That's right!" said the young man who liked to think that he was somewhat of a writer. "Our writer has finaly gotten published. It is a cause to celebrate, my love! ....I mean, my KING."

Link thought this over. "Don't you mean self published?"

The young man waved his hand, saying that he didn't care about the details. "What's the difference" he asked.

"Well if I remember right, the difference is that when you get published, your book gets accepted by a publisher, and when you get self published, all you have to do is write something and then pay loads of money for someone to print a lot of copies, and then the writer pays to sell their stuff to whatever unintelligent chumps buy it. That's the difference."

The young man waved his hand again to say again that he didn't care about the details. "Maybe some people think so, but that's just because they hate our writer because she used to be part of some fandom which I know nothing about, and she left it."

"Uhh, no......" said Link. "I think people don't care that she left the fandom of Hyrule, I think they think that she is a git. But they're not out to get her. Creating legends one character at a time? yeah, my money's on git."

"That's old," said the young man. "Our writer......."

"YOUR writer" said Link, who was tired of being lumped in with this "original" story.

"OUR writer, my love...... I mean KING!" said the young man with eyes as brown as some mountains and a tunic to match, "no longer insists that she is the best writer in the universe. "

"iUniverse," said Link under his breath.

"It wasn't iUniverse it was AUTHORHOUSE, my love....I mean my KING!" said the boy, who now seemed agitated.

Now it was Link's turn to wave his hand as if the details didn't matter, because they didn't. "Whatever" said the Hero of Time, "I have a date with Zelda. I'll see you later."

"Who is Zelda?" cried the young man as Link walked away. "Wait! My love....I mean my KING! Our celebration!"

But Link then threw a Deku nut to the ground, and in a flash, he was gone.
