Hero of Time
Before the actual movie, we are treated to a prologue telling of the three godesses who created the world, and with it a magical artifact known as the triforce, which is a perfect balance of things needed to keep the world in check. There are three piesces, power, wisdom, and courage, which were given by the godesses to those chosen to protect them.
The movie starts at night, and a woman is running through a forest with a baby. She constantly glances over her shoulder, making it obvious something is following her. After a while, she encounters another woman, to whom she hands the baby. They two women run in different dirrections, and the camera follows the one who orriginally held the baby.
She trips and falls next to a tree, and turns as a dark figure approaches her. She can only watch in terror as he pulls out a bow, and shoots her dead.

It skips to a bright, sunny day, in complete contrast to the night that it had just shown. The camera pans across the edge of a forest along the shores of a lake. It gets to a point when we can see a figure on the shore, and a shirt and some gloves hanging from a tree.
The figure on the beach is, of course, the hero of our story, Link, a blond teenager who is destined for great things. When we first encounter Link, he is bending something into a hook shape. He then finds a stick and removes some string from his pocket. He combines the items to get a makeshift fishing pole.

Link casts out his line, and in seconds it is pulled taut by something in the water. He exclaims that he got something, for anyone who didn't understant how fishing worked, and began trying to pull it in.
Suddenly, his name is called from back in the forest, and he drops his fishing pole into the water and turns to see who it is. Enter a strange, redheaded Saria. She tells him that some important guy who isn't mentioned ever again has invited him to dinner. He walks away towards his stuff, and Saria askes him if anything was wrong, since he often came to this place when he was upset.

Link tells his "mother" that he had another nightmare, in which a beautiful woman was trapped in a cell. He then says that he thinks it has something to do with the mark on his hand depicting the triforce (though he has no idea what that is). Saria gets pissed and tells him never to mention that mark.
Now Link is upset, and asks why she says that, when she claims to know nothing of the mark. He then inquires about his past, and his real mother. Saria tells him that she doesn't know anything more than what she had already said. Link is now even more upset, thinking he will never know about himself, and will spend his entire life with people will outlive him by hundreds of years. (the kokiri)

Link walks home, and along the way he sees several Kokiri children playing. Some are playing tag, others are throwing cuccos around, etc. Link climbs into the treehouse he shares with Saria, and suddenly it's nighttime and he is asleep. He has the same nightmare again, and he wakes up after it's over. He leaves the house, and talks to Saria a bit about random stuff, such as a girl from across the river, whom Saria refers to as Link's future wife.
Link, embarassed, says that she ia almost as old as Saria, who claims that she has at least 129 years on the girl. Link continues alone down a path, where he runs into a man who says that the Great Deku Tree is dying, and wishes to speak with Link. The next day, Link and Saria go to the Deku Tree, who tells Link that he must find the princess and save Hyrule. Link says that he doesn't care about Hyrule and just wants to know who he is. The Deku Tree tells Link that he will find out along his journey, and suddenly the young hero-to-be is eager to go.

Link goes home and puts on his green tunic and cap, and walks to the bridge leading out of the forest. When he gets there, Saria walks up to him and after a teary goodbye, she gives him a small sword and tells him that he will always be her little baby. Link enters the Lost Woods (which is aparently the exit of the Kokiri forest), and wanders around for a really long time. At one point, he sees a path leading to a darker and more spooky looking part of the woods. He takes one look at it and keeps going the way he was going before.
Eventually, he stops for a nap, and the man who had told Link of the Deku Tree wanting to speak to him arrives and grabs his money and sword. Link immediatly springs up, and the man holds out the sword threateningly, even though it's still in its scabbard. Link picks up a stick, hits the man on the wrist which causes the sword to fly into the air. Link grabs it, unsheaths it with a flick of his wrist, and holds it at the mans throat.
(wow, that took forever, and I'm not even done with the boring opening yet... anyway, i gotta go get some noms, when I get back I finish this so I can get to the good part)

Link then tied the man's hands and retook his possesions. The man asked for Link to kill him, as the things in the woods would kill him slowly and painfully. Link says that if the man shows him the way out of the woods, he will kill the man instead of leaving him for the things lurking in the woods.
The man refuses, saying that nobody every left the lost woods, and many had died trying. Link leaves him there, and continues through the woods, constantly checking what appeared to be a map. Eventually, he came to the dark and dangerous looking path he had been at before. He starts to leave, but then his triforce hand begins to hurt... or tingle... or... he felt something in his hand, because he stopped and rubbed it then turned back to the dangerous looking path.

He runs in, and is suddenly in Hyrule Field. He looks again at his map. I gotta say, whoever drew this must have been some kind of freaking genious. Sarcasm. In the center of the parchment was a poorly drawn castle. On the right side was a few trees. There was a dashed line leading from the trees to the castle. Link looked up from his map, and about five miles in the distance Hyrule Castle is clearly visable. Duh.
Insert montage of Link walking to the castle town.
(This was the worst part of the movie, mostly because they spent too much time on things that didn't need it, like the lost woods scene or the walking to the castle scene. Even so, it didn't have too much of a negative effect on my opinion of the movie.)
