A lot of people asked for part one again, so here it is. Also, part three
will explain a few weird things, such as why Ukyo gave up on Ranma, and why
Akane didn't blame Ranma for P-chan.

    Ranma 1/2 belongs to Rumiko Takahashi, Legend Of Zelda belongs to
Nintendo. I am using everything carefully, and will return them when
finished. Well, except for Navi. Two words - fly spray.

    Secondly, if you haven't beaten Zelda yet, and don't want any hints on
the plot, read this at a later date.

    The morning sun rose over the city of Tokyo, one of the biggest cities
in the world, and in many universes one of the weirdest. The sun
reached out, sending light across the city, and into a small place known as
Nermia. It passed the Kuno Estate, ignoring the mutterings of the

Nerima.

two idiots inside it, quickly ran past the Nekohanten (It had learnt a few

Kodachi's no idiot.  

thousand years ago not to annoy Amazons) and wandered past
Ucchans, enjoying the sounds of her opening the shop.

    It stopped at the Tendo Dojo, however. It spent several minutes there,
contemplating if it should take the risk of annoying Akane. Ever since
the failed wedding last week she was getting mad very easy, and even gods
lived in fear of the mallet. Eventually it decided 'What've I got to
lose?' and continued across the world and waking people up. It stopped for a
bit longer though, when a mallet flew out Akane's window,
reached escape velocity, and in five minutes it had reached the sun and
clonked it one.

    It seems that Mallet-sama was capable of Faster-Then-Light travel.
(Authors Note: I don't care if mallet jokes are overused, I like 'em, so
suffer)

    The morning started out the same as usual. Genma wakes Ranma with a
fight. Ranma and Genma end up in pond. Akane cooks Ranma
breakfast. Ranma opens his big mouth and ends up in pond again. So far
everything was the same as always.

    "Akane! Ranma!" Kasumi called from the kitchen. "You're going to be
late!" As the two girls, er, boy and girl, um, boy and two girls? raced
out the door, Kasumi noticed that Genma-panda had used the distraction to
cheat. She shook her head sadly. He never changed. At least
Ranma didn't pick up too many of his traits. But she had used every trick in
the book and he still kept on putting his foot - or Mallet-sama - in
his mouth.

That book being entitled "Ignore What Is Going On Around You And Hope Everything
Turns Out Right".  In the entire run of the manga, Kasumi has done only one 
thing to help the Ranma/Akane romance.  (Apart from ducking the engagement 
herself) 

    She sighed to herself. How long would it be until Ranma made up his
mind? This nonsense was driving her crazy. And at the rate things are
going, they always will be.

"would be"

Oh god...this isn't going to one of those "Outsider wanders in for no reason and
solves the problem" fics is it?

    Akane scowled at the red-head. "Jerk."

    "Hey, it ain't my fault your cooking's deadly," she replied. "Why can't
you be more-"

Predictable.  

    "Akane Tendo and my Pig-tailed goddess! Truly fortune doth indeed favor
the noble scion of the house of Kunou..!"

    "Y'know what they say, fortune favors the foolish," Ranma-chan
commented.

That's quite witty.  Sounds more like something Nabiki would say but...

    "From the lips of any other, those words would be considered an insult
to the honor of Tatewaki Kuno! But from the lips of my urk!" He got
no further as Ranma-chan elbowed him in the face. He collapsed into the
ground and watched as 'his loves' ran past.

    "Here, let me help you up," a voice said. Kuno found himself looking at
dusty leather boots. Raising his head he saw a blond haired boy of
medium build. Kuno noted that he had pointed ears, but for some reason
forgot his usual method of calling him a demon. Floating next to his
shoulder was what seemed to be a fairy!

    "Who be you?"

    "I'm -"

    "Wait, I should be polite and introduce myself first. I am the Blue
Thunder of Furinken High, and the greatest swordsman in Japan, no, the
world, Tatewaki Kunou."

    "I'm Link, and this," he pointed at the fairy, "is Navi."

    Kuno took one look at the fairy and swung his bokken at her. "Die
demon!" he yelled, forgetting to spout his usual poetry.

Why?  Yes, Kuno is stupid.  However the nature of his stupidity causes him
to confuse beauty and virtue.  

    "Hey!" she yelled, dodging the wooden sword. "Watch it!"

He'd probably hit.  

    Suddenly a large sword sliced through the bokken, sending the pieces
flying across the ground. Kuno looked up at Link, who held the sword
out in front of him. "No-one tries to hurt my friends and gets away with
it," the youth stated in an emotionless voice.

You know, it's harder than you might think to cut through a bokken.  

    "I accept your challenge. SASUKE, KATANA!" The ninja appeared, holding
out a sheathed weapon. Kuno grasped the hilt, and pulled it
out. The blade was a foot shorter then Link's, and looked very sharp. He
slashed at Link, who parried and cut at Kuno's chest. He leapt back
just in time. A large gash could be seen along Kuno's clothes, but luckily
for the moron, no blood.

The omniscient narrator really shouldn't go around insulting his characters.

    The pair circled each other, attacking when they saw a chance. Despite
many attempts on each other, neither were able to wound the other.
Link's was far more skilled with his sword, but it was slower then Kuno's,
which was strong enough to deflect the attacks. 

If he really was far more skilled with his sword, they wouldn't be so evenly
matched.  Slightly more skilled would be closer to the mark. 

Link slashed at

Kuno's feet, but missed and had to back flip out of the way or lose his
head. He leapt forward, sword swinging straight down. Kuno blocked the
blade, but the force behind it pushed him back into a wall. Link then used
his position to his advantage as he pushed Kuno's blade back
towards the town idiot. "Apologize to Navi, and swear on your honor never to
attack her again!" he growled.

    "Never shall I rest in my holy quest to destroy evil!" Kuno yelled.
Without warning the katana blade began to glow a bright red. Link swore.
What was this trick?

    And then he was consumed in fire as the magical energies began to pour
out of the blade, sending him flying into the grounds of Fuurinkan
High.

    Ranma's head shot out of the window, and saw a youth with a sword turn
to face the gates. "Hey, finally there's a fight in town and I'm not
involved," he said gleefully. Then he saw who the other fighter was. "Hey,
what's Dull Blunder doing?"

    Akane looked out. "Well for one thing he's glowing. Maybe he learnt Ki
attacks?"

"learned"

    Ranma shook his head. "Impossible. Y'gotta have brains to learn
something."

He knows how to shatter stone and cut through trees with a stick.  

    Link looked at Kuno. When he'd started this fight he hadn't expected to
fight a person who was glowing. "Navi, how the hell is he doing
that?" he demanded.

Magic, you moron.  

    "Ah Link, I don't know how to tell you this..." Navi began.

    Link swore. Every time Navi used that line something bad happened.

    "...But Kuno just got possessed by a demon."

    "What?! Not even my luck is that bad!" Link exclaimed. What were the
odds of this guy getting possessed by a demon just while he was
fighting him?

    "Now Hero of Time, I shall have my revenge!" Kuno-demon roared.

    Not as high as the odds of the demon knowing him, he decided. "Do I know
you?" he asked.

Actually the demon knowing him is more likely than this being a random 
demon possession.

    "You may not remember me, but you made my life hell!" The demon threw

Somehow that doesn't have the right ring coming from a demon.  It's like saying
that Link made his life New Jersey.

his hands forward and a wave of fire flew towards the boy. Link
dropped his sword and brought the mirror shield up in front of him. As the
fire hit the shield it was simply absorbed. Kuno-demon frowned and
unleashed several waves at once, all of them having no more effect then
simply being absorbed by the shield. Unnoticed by either of the
fighters, Ranma leapt out of the window and down to the ground.

    "When I returned to my own time, I realized that if I stayed in Hyrule,
I might end up running into myself in the future, and that would cause
all sorts of problems. So, I used this magical artifact called the Triforce
I traveled between universes and-"

Ah.  The Beavis and Butthead crossover technique.  He has no reason for being
there, he just thought he'd hang around.  

    Link shrugged. "No idea. The Triforce tells me when to go. It's helped
me for the past seven years, I think I can trust it now." He looked at
everyone. "Any idea where I can find a place to stay for a while?"

    "You could stay at our dojo," Akane offered.

Why?  

A.  Akane has no reason to offer her home to a total stranger, and a foreigner
at that, with a very fishy story about why he's there.

B.  Akane doesn't have the _right_ to offer.  Soun and Kasumi are the
heads of the family.  

    "Thanks, Akane wasn't it?" He stood up and bowed to her. "Lead the way
my sweet princess."

    Akane walked towards the door. "Just don't call me that. I get enough of
it from Kuno."

    "Huh?"

    Ranma bolted out the door, eager to get away from Shampoo. "It's like
this..." Soon Link was getting a description of life in Nermia.

Nerima

    "You got that right. Still, it's a nice place." Link thought about that
for a second. It seemed too nice. For some reason he felt like staying here.
Why was that? Before, he'd always wanted to return to Hyrule. He dismissed
it. Maybe he was just tired of traveling.

Does this mean you actually have a reason for him to be there?

    "Thanks. When I first learned how to play it, it was because some tunes
had power, power that I needed to defeat Gannon. But after that, I
kept playing it simply because I enjoyed it. That one was the first tune I
learned. It's called Zelda's lullaby."
