Summary
Link returns to his childhood in order to warn Hyrule of Ganondorf's folly. The Gerudo King deserves to die before he can do any more damage. However, things are far more complicated than Link realized. Navi has vanished, Hyrule is on the brink of war with the Gerudo, and Zelda isn't the wise queen he knew in the future, but a naive princess. The only crime Ganondorf has committed in this timeline is killing the Great Deku Tree, and what right does the King of Hyrule to try a man for crimes against the Kokiri?

Bookmark Notes:
Link had done his job.
He fainted.
-
Link sat up at that. He was still having trouble with the Hylian language, but he understood “two days”. That was too long. Navi should have woken him up sooner. Where was Navi?“Navi?” he asked, as much calling for the fairy as asking Zelda and Impa if they knew.
Zelda cocked her head to the side. “Who’s that?” she asked.
Link tried to speak in Hylian, but his words came out in the soft, whispering language of the Kokiri. He wished Navi was here to translate. He breathed in deeply. He needed to use words they could understand.
“Navi,” he whispered, “my fairy. Where?”
Impa looked concerned. “You had no fairy little one.”
Link was ready to panic. Navi should have been back by now. She couldn’t have just left him. Could she?
-
“Ganondorf will not harm Hyrule,” he said. “He will be executed. I promise you that.”Link didn’t really know what executed meant, but as long as Hyrule was safe he supposed it must be good.
Navi didn’t return.

Link looked her in the eye and said, “It is wrong to kill someone for something they have not done.”Kotake cackled as she turned to face her sister. “Well sister, what do you say to that?”
Koume started to smirk as she locked eyes with her twin, “He certainly is an idealistic child!”
Kotake grinned, “Idealistic indeed! He is childish to think we would believe such an outrageous tale!”
“Outrageous and childish!”
“A complete fool!”
As one they turned to Link and said, “We will come with you.”
“What!?” squawked Nabooru, looking in shock at the twins, “You cannot be serious. This is obviously a trap.”
Koume looked to Nabooru, “Silence, girl! Can’t you see?”
“The boy came to us hoping we would believe him that our king is in the Lost Woods,” Kotake continued.
-
Some of the Gerudo visibility recoiled. The dissonance between Mido’s whiny voice and his fairie’s tingling translation was jarring. Link just crossed his arms and rolled his eyes. “The Lost Woods makes them nervous. It took time to convince them to enter.”Fado’s eyebrows drew together, “Do they doubt our hospitality?”
Link shrugged, “They are mortal and we have their king. They are scared.”’
“Himph!” Mido stuck his nose in the air, “If they’re scared they shouldn’t be here. We’ll just tell them what happened afterward.”
Link and Fado shared a look before motioning for the Gerudo to start following them, leaving Mido to his dramatics.
