Ocarina of Time: A Shakespearean Play

Summary:

Within the forest east of this land vast,
A race of children their abode this makes.
To each a fairy owned from times long past,
Except one lad, for his fate yet awakes.

A Shakespeare-style adaptation of Ocarina of Time.

Notes:

Apologies in advance for any scholars of Shakespeare if I make mistakes with the archaic language or iambic pentameter. This is my first foray into such matters. With that aside, hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: Act I: Prologue

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Enter a BARD with a musette.

BARD:
Within the forest east of this land vast,
A race of children their abode this makes.
To each a fairy owned from times long past,
Except one lad, for his fate yet awakes.
Predestined for a journey filled with strife,
For Farore’s vast courage he doth possess.
To vanquish evil, he shall chance his life
A fate as Hero must he acquiesce.
Adventure awaits ye, dearest listeners,
An eldritch vice of yore wastes yonder land.
For all seems lost bar one key feature;
A sorcerous aerophone straying time’s hand.
Alas, for now shall ye wait patiently,
The boy’s adventure begins presently…

Exeunt.

Notes:

The bard may or may not be Kass.

Uploads will probably be infrequent. I've nearly finished writing the first scene, so expect it tomorrow (30/6/20), but I do hope to see this through to the end. Inspiration is heavily drawn from the manga, but I'll keep some aspects of the game such as Dark link appearing in the Water Temple instead of Kakariko.
