My sincerest apologies to fans of our new weekly segments for missing Fan Fiction Friday this past week and a half as we try to adjust our teams for our daily features. Excuses aside, let’s jump right back into it with another one of our fan submitted pieces. This week, we are featuring the work of our fan Kim, who tells a story about Dark Link’s first days of life.

Rude Awakening portrays a new twist on Dark Link‘s uprising as a new being. He wakes from his creation confused, wondering who he is and how he got here. He quickly starts to regain memories of his lighter past, but is forced to push those images aside and concentrate on following the orders of his new master, King Ganondorf. I don’t want to delve too far into the story, but it is worth checking out for yourself. Kim has stated that the story is not yet complete, but it still a fun read and a thought provoking take on the origin of one of the most popular villains in the Zelda series.

As always, leave your thoughts and comments down below. Also, if you have some work of your own, please post a link to it as well so we can feature you in a future Fan Fiction Friday. Also, I am aware that today is Saturday; but I promise that next week, Fan Fiction Friday will actually fall on a Friday. See you then!


Note: As always, please refrain from hating on fan-made works in the comments section. While some may not enjoy works posted by our fans, others will, and we wish to keep a friendly environment for all fans of the Zelda series. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but we want our fans to feel safe in sharing work they have passionately created here on Zelda Informer. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
