Hey, guys. I'm back with another fanfic. This is the second part of my Legend of Zelda/MLP crossover. Sorry for the really long wait, you guys. But, I'm here with that now. First up, we've got the prologue. Enjoy.

"This day has been just perfect." the new queen of Equestria smiled down at her new kingdom from her balcony.

The changelings had just finished tearing down all that resembled Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, Discord, and Twilight Sparkle. In their place, changelings had placed statues and tapestries of their new leaders, Chrysalis and Tirek.

The city of Canterlot was immediately washed over in a sea of flames. The homes and livelihood of ponies, mules, and griffons had been burned down to ash. Soon, the changelings would replace them with homes of their own, made of the most repulsive ooze.

The sound of prisoners' chains could be heard jingling in the air. Ponies, griffons, and mules alike had been chained from neck to hoof and claw. Rows upon rows of prison lines all could be seen going to the castle, which seemed darker than before.

Changelings, moblins, skeletal ponies, and trolls had marched through the streets, searching for any more ponies, and their treasures to claim for the new king and queen.

As Chrysalis took in a deep breath, breathing in the smell of burning wood. Her ears were savoring the sound of hard, cold metal rattling from her prisoners. Her mouth watered for the taste of pony love, still lingering between the loved ones imprisoned together.

Suddenly, her ears twitched as her king, Tirek, came into her room.

"It's rude to barge in on a lady, you know?" Chrysalis hissed.

"My apologies, Chrysalis. But, I've come to tell you. The spell is all but ready. All we need now is your magic." said Tirek.

"Ah, yes. Let's get on with it." said Chrysalis, rolling her eyes.

Inside the throne room, it had undergone the most biggest of changes to the castle. Blood-red curtains draped from the windows. The marble pillars, walls, and floors were all a sickly grey, instead of a beautiful, sparkling pearl color. The thrones were a black, thorny color and display, with orange and green orbs shown on the top of the backrests of the thrones.

The tinted windows that displayed the heroics by the Elements of Harmony and the leaders of Equestria had been broken, and replaced with more terrifying images. The windows displayed Canterlot on fire, the fall of Prince Shining Armor by Dark Link's hands, and the rise of Chrysalis and Tirek to power.

In the middle of the room, a large cauldron, bubbling a sickly, glowing green lay in wait to conjure up a dark spell. From Tirek's hand, a strand of Link's hair was in his claw. Tirek dropped the hair into the cauldron, then he and Chrysalis cut themselves on their arm, letting a drop of blood drop fall into the cauldron. Chrysalis added a ball of green magic light into the mix, along with Tirek, adding a magic energy ball of orange.

"Now, Dark Link! Rise once more!" Chrysalis called out loud.

From the cauldron, a dark hand shot out, followed by a dark figure, crawling out of the cauldron, and it fell to the floor. The dark figure huffed and panted, as he stood up, and wiped the slime of his clothes.

"I feel like a million rupees." Dark Link chuckled, then bowed. "Queen Chrysalis, King Tirek. I remove my hat to you."

"Please, save your flattery, little shadow." said Tirek. "Just remember, every time we use this spell, it depletes a great amount of magic. So, this'll be the only time we bring you back to life. I don't want to waste any more of the precious power we took from all those ponies and princesses on you. Understood?"

"Loud and clear, sir." said Dark Link, as he looked at his blank hand. "But, why didn't the triforce piece be brought back to me?"

"It returned to it's original owner, the real Link. You'll have to get that on your own. Can't expect your new king and queen to do everything. Now, can we?" said Tirek.

"Yessir." said Dark Link.

"I think you'll be pleased to hear you'll get your chance, right away." said Chrysalis.

"If the triforce piece is gone, it means it's owner, Link, is still alive. Track him down, and finish him. But, you have another task to complete. The princesses and their followers have now cornered themselves in the Everfree Forest. But, we can't reach them, due to another of that despicable Discord's tricks. Go to the edge of the forest, and break down that barrier. Have every last moblin and troll dig deep down in the ground, a hundred feet in the dirt, to pull out the roots if it's to work."

"As you say, it shall be done, m'lady." Dark Link bowed. "If I may be so bold to ask, I send a good number of them to find Mr. Real Boy across every direction of the land. I don't wish to waste a precious second of finding him."

"Of course. Revenge has always been on the top of our lists." said Tirek, grinning widely.

"I will not fail you again, my excellencies." said Dark Link, bowing again before disappearing into thin air.

Chrysalis sighed contently, the thought of finally being rid of those irksome ponies and their princesses filled her mind, as she joined Tirek on their thrones.

"Isn't this grand, Tirek? We have those powerless ponies backed into a corner. The hero of Hyrule is nowhere to be found. So long as he doesn't reunite with his friends, I foresee no problem with him. All of Equestria will be ours." Chrysalis cackled.

"Today, Equestria. How about tomorrow, Hyrule? You brought it up, and I just love giving those high-and-mighty hylians, mere mortals that think they deserve to have such a close bond with deities, a taste of what real power is." said Tirek.

"Ooh, someone's getting antsy to expand our empire." Chrysalis swooned. "Chalk that up for the reasons why I freed you, and made you my king. But, patience. Conquering, expanding our rule, and ruling with an iron hoof takes time. Lucky for us, we have all the time in the world."

"That we do, my love bug." said Tirek, as he and Chrysalis leaned in for a kiss.

Thunder and lightning crashed outside. The sounds of chains, whips, screams, and houses burning grew louder, ringing out to let everypony know Equestria's first day of doom had just dawned upon the kingdom. Yet, a day would eventually come filled with hope. A day where Equestria would know love and peace, once more. But, that day still seemed so far away to many, as far as their hope, Link was from where he needed to be.

...

Princess Zelda, dressed in a sheikah cloak, paced back and forth from where she stood in front of the mirror. Suddenly, Impa came to her side, out of nowhere. Behind her was Malon, bow and quiver on her back, and Epona.

"I've brought them, like you requested, princess." said Impa, bowing before her princess.

"Princess Zelda, this is an honor." said Malon, bowing just like Impa.

"I'm so glad you could come, Malon. Link's told me a lot about you and Epona, of course." said Zelda.

"You would not believe what your bodyguard had to do to sneak a filly in the royal castle, your highness." said Malon, giggling.

"If we can get to the matter at hand, ladies." said Impa.

"Yes. Malon, you, me, Impa, and Epona here must go on a journey to find and aid Link in his mission." said Zelda. "Where we'll be going, I imagine Epona will play a big role in it, too."

"Pardon me, your highness. But, what kind of place is this? What exactly happened to Fairy-boy?" asked Malon.

"I'm not sure. I've tried to reach him, telepathically, but my link to him has been greatly severed." said Zelda. "I have to go to him, and make sure he's okay. He's helped my country, my family. Now, I must do the same."

"Well, how do we get there?" asked Malon.

"Through there." Zelda said, pointing to the mirror.

"Come, we mustn't waste time." said Impa, as she, the girls, and Epona jumped through the portal. They could only hope they'd warp somewhere close to Link, hopefully...

Well, guys. That's it for the prologue. I know it's not much, but this is just to build up on what's to come next on this crossover. Next chapter, we'll get to see how Link and the others are faring. Also, I might try to work Epona into the story, but somewhere later on in future chapters.

I'm sure you're wondering why Malon and Epona are gonna appear in this. Well, Malon does live on a ranch, surrounded by equines. Epona is an equine. So, putting them in a world where equines talk and have their own kingdom, I'm sure they'd feel right at home. Also, since Malon is a counterpart to Romani, she's gonna help Link on his quest with some fine archery skills. Also, yes, Epona will talk.

I own nothing, except a few OC's that'll appear later on in the story. All rights go to original owners. No copyright intended. Thanks. Stay tuned for more of this crossover fanfic.
