The Interlude
This story starts technically after Link's ocarina adventure, but Link doesn't really find that out until after his battle with Majora's mask. Anyway, here's everything from the defeat of Ganon to the begening of Link's seemingly never ending epic adventures.
After Link defeated Ganondorf, all of Hyrue celebrated in the town market. Link danced with a few girls, arm-wrestled with Darunia, and joked with Saria. Ruto wouldn't stop flirting with Link or talking about how they were getting married. Link didn't mind the flirting, in fact he flirted back a bit, but it was the marriage part that somewhat scared him. The rest of the girls hated when Ruto flirted, and were furious when he flirted back. So they quite often separated Link from her out of jealousy. Other than that, it was a happy event. Later, after the party, Link returned to the Temple of Time and placed the Master Sword back in it's pedestal and was just about to go back to his time when he saw an odd flash. He pondered about it when he was in his original time again, but quickly forgot about it when Navi flew away. Link ran to Lon Lon Ranch, had a quick chat with Malon, and rode into the Lost Woods in search of Navi. There, he got knocked unconscious by a Skull Kid. After waking up, Link saw that the Skull Kid had his ocarina. Link demanded that he give it back, but rather than giving the ocarina back, the Stalk Kid turned Link into a Deku Scrub and ran. Link joined one of the fairies that the Stalk Kid left behind and followed the Stalk Kid into and odd portal that transported him to and paralel world called Termina. There, he found new masks, made new friends, helped many people and Great Fairies and even saved the whole world. After parting with the Skull Kid, who turned out to be the Kid who he soled a mask to when he was a Happy Mask Salesman, and his fairy friends, he rode back in a vain search for his fairy friend, Navi. He then returned to his tree house and is now having a nightmare.......
Chapter 1: A Lost Hero
~Ganondorf's cape flashes by, then Saria seductively walks to Link followed by her screaming horrifically at him in pain~
Link quickly awoke with that scream in a cold sweat.
"AHH!", he yelled. "Not another nightmare...*sigh* I must be the only one in Hyrule still having nightmares."
Link hopped out of his bed and climbed down his tree house.
"Maybe Saira can help relax me. Ever since Navi left I haven't felt right. It's like I'm the fairyless boy again." Link sighed as he walked up to Saria's house.
When he poked his head in her door, he saw that she was smiling in her sleep, so he figured she was having a good dream and didn't have ther heart to wake her.
"Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't bother her with my problems.", he shrugged as he walked away.
"I can't understand it, something just seems wrong. But if something really bad ways happening, Zelda would tell me. Hmmmm, maybe I'm just felling wrong with Ganondorf now in rule. Oh well, I will defeat him again and as many times as I have to!"
Link started playing out his last battle with Gandorf and his second form, Ganon, "YA! Take That! And This! HA!"
All of the sudden he got a bad head ach.
"Ahh! Ow my head.... it hurts....Ahhh! AAAHHHHHHH!", Link dropped his sword in pain and grabbed his head, yelling in pain. "AHAAAAAAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!"
Saria woke up scared half to death.
She ran outside, saw it was Link, and said, "Link, quit playing, it's late!" She looked at him curiously and asked, "Link are you ok?" She nudged him. "....Link?", she asked ask as he yelled louder. "LINK?! Someone help! Link's hurt!"
Midow woke up ran out and asked, "What's wrong?".
Saria looked at Midow teary eyed and said, "I don't know. What do we do, The Great Deku Tree is dead. We have to help Link."
Saria laid Link on his back and cried on his chest. "Link what's wrong?", she asked, hopping for a reply.
Link stopped yelling suddenly.
"Link?", Saira asked, hoping Link was ok.
Link didn't answer, because he couldn't hear her. He did see Zelda, however, and could hear her voice saying, "Link, can you hear me? It's Zelda, from the future. Ganondorf is back, we need you now. Please help!"
Her voice and vision then faded away. Link finally came to, and noticed Saria crying on him.
"Huh!", he said as he sat up, "What happened?"
Saria looked at Link and hugged him with relief, saying, "Oh Link. I thought something bad happened to you. You were screaming and then you blacked out. Thank the goddesses you're back."
Link looked at her heavy heartedly and said, "I'm sorry Saria, but I have to go away again. Ganondorf somehow broke out of the Secret Realm, I have to help."
Link then ran to his house and quickly gathered all of his things and ran to the entrance of Hyrule.
"Link.", Saria said as Link ran by.
Link stopped before making it out and asked, "Yes Saria?"
Saria walked up to Link and hugged, as if she would never see him again, while saying, "Please be careful Link... I have a bad feeling about this... You'll get hurt. Please Link, you know I'd die if anything bad ever happened to you."
Link smiled at her concern and said, "I'll be careful Saria, I promise."
Link then hugged Saria and ran to the castle. Half way there, Link remembered, the bridge is closed. Link then remembered he could warp strait to the Temple of Time. So he then pulled out his ocarina, put it to his lips and played the Prelude of Light. He was then warped to the Temple of Time and ran towards the Master Swords pedestal when he was interrupted but a familiar voice saying, "Hey Link, were do you think you're going with out me!?"
Link turned around and to his surprise and joy he saw that sometimes annoying, yet lovable blue fairy, Navi.
He could barely hold his excitement as he asked, "Navi?! Where have you been Navi, I looked everywhere for you!"
Navi smiled a little and said, "I'm sorry Link, I just needed to be alone for a while. I came back hoping to find you, and here you are."
They both laughed at that startment for a second, then Link looked serious.
He told Navi of what they had to do and Navi said, "How did Ganondorf break free? I thought the sages sealed him for all time!"
Link looked at Navi puzzled and said, "I know, but Zelda said he broke out somehow, so I'm going to stop him."
Navi smiled and said, "Not with out me." Link smiled, ran to the Master sword, and pulled it out.
~Link awakes in the Room of the Sages~
Link looked around and noticed all the sages there.
"What happened?", he asked quite confused.
Zelda stepped forward and said, "We don't know how Ganondorf escaped, but we think it may have something to do with that odd man he dragged into the castle and locked in a dungeon."
Link looked even more confused and asked, "A odd man?"
Zelda tried to explain, "Yes, Ganondorf had this man dressed in odd garments and a jester's hat on. The man talked somewhat different then us and looked pretty beat up when Ganondorf threw him in the dungeon. The thing that concerns me is that Ganondorf had used a large amount of magic to do this and has the man guarded very carefully."
Link looked very shocked, and Zelda continued, "The man often starts shouting at night. It's very loud and sounds as if he's being torn apart. We know Ganondorf isn't torturing him, because the man would be dead by now.... unless he's taking torture better than we thought...."
Link was blown over to hear all of this, especially to hear someone could take Ganondorf's torture.
Zelda still continued, "I'm afraid of this man Link.... Even though his was badly hurt, all of my guards fell before him. He looked as if he waited his entire life to kill those men. Then, while Impa and I were sneaking out, I could here Ganondorf talking about keeping him trapped and how unpredictable he can be!"
Link's confusion faded into serious now.
"Well, I'll leave that man for later, but now, I'm going after Ganondorf!", he said with certanty of his actions.
Darunia smiled and said, "We'll help you brother! Just say the word, and us Gorons are at your service!"
Link smiled at Darunia's enthusiasm , but said, "No, Ganondorf would kill as many of you as he could just for fun. I think I'll just go alone."
All of the sudden Ganondorf's voice was heard saying, "Bring your little friends Link, just make sure they don't interrupt us. I don't care who comes, but this is between YOU and ME! NO ONE ELSE!" Ganondorf's voice then faded away in an eerie laugh.
"We'll support you brother. Ganondorf thinks he's going to kill you, so he'll let everyone see, but you'll defeat him like last time.", Darunia spoke.
Saria then stepped foward, saying, "Link.... Don't go.... You'll get hurt, I know it. Ganondorf it just trying to trap you."
Ruto walked up to Link and flirty said, "I agree Honey, let's just find another way to beat him" Ruto kissed Link on the cheek and winked.
Saria and Zelda both evilly glared at Ruto when she said that, and Naboroo then quickly said, "Look, first let's get rid of Ganondorf, then we can fight over Link."
Link got very nervous at that statement, and was even more surprised when all of the girls, even Impa agreed!
"Come on girls, I'm still te-.... Oh, darn, I'm seventeen now.", Link said embarassed at how he forgot he grew.
Everyone then and everyone laughed at that and then started off for Ganondorf. Darunia gathered the Gorons, as did Ruto the Zora's, and Naboroo the Gerudos. Link went home, started sharpening his sword, and talked with Saria.
"What's wrong Saria?", he asked.
Saria just looked at Link and looked down and said, "I missed you..... You said you'd be back, but I didn't know seven years is what you meant...."
Link gently smiled and said, "Don't worry, I told you I'll be back, I'm not there yet. I still have to go to the past first. It'll be as I never left."
Saria smiled a little, then her face fell gloomy again.
"I keep having nightmares about you Link ....I...they....we.…*sigh* Nevermind, just be careful.", she stammered before she stood up, kissed Link, and walked off.
Link was a little surprised that Saria kissed him and blushed.
"What was that all about?", Link asked, thinking out loud.
Navi flew out of Link's hat and said, "I think she likes you Link."
Link laughed and replied, "I doubt that. She's just worried, that's all."
Navi teasingly looked at Link.
"Suuuuure Link.", the little sprite giggled as she flew into Links hat, after making kissing noises.
Link rolled his eyes and said, "*sigh* I just don't get girls. Especially fairy girls!"
Navi kicked Link's head making him laughed.
"Just kidding Navi.", he said as he finished sharpening his sword, hopped out of his tree house and started off for the castle.
Just as he exited the forest, Link saw all of his friends.
"Thanks for the support everyone. Well, let's go.", Link said gratefully.
Then everyone started off for the castle. When they passed Lon Lon Ranch, Malon joined the group after waving good-bye to Talon and Ingo. When they entered the castle market , Link fought off the Re-Deads and everyone quickly ran of to the castle grounds. Link was shocked at what he saw.
"It looks like Ganondorf never came here…but how…!", Zelda said as she walked through the gate behind Link, and suddenly, the bodies of the guards who fought to save her appeared, and the peaceful allusion faded.
"That man is sick. I can see why Ganondorf locked him up.", Link said walking through the bloodstained walkway.
When everyone arrived at the Castle's draw bridge, everything everyone saw disappeared and showed how the castle grounds really looked.
Everyone gasped at the sight of the blood on the court yard and kees practically everywhere. And to everyone's supprise and amamsment, the castle itself was gone. Just dead bodies and pools of blood on the everywhere. Link looked at everything in complete disquest.
Ganondorf appeared from no where and said, "Really boy, I thought you'd like it. Hahahahahahaha!"
Link quickly turned around, drawing his sword in the process, and jumped back to see his demented advisary.
"Were's the castle!?", Link shouted while everyone else was in shock.
Ganondorf only laughed at Link and said, "I didn't think we needed to go through me destroying the castle again. As you see, I left a bridge for you so if you want you can walk away if you're too scared."
Link narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
"I do not fear you Ganondorf. You can leave if you're scared thought.", he smirked.
But his smirk disappeared when Ganondorf smiled and said, "Good, I was hoping you hadn't lost your fighting spirit. Because everyone stays here!"
Ganondorf looked at the bridge and it burned away.
"Let's fight boy!", Ganon shouted.
Link sneered at Ganondorf and followed him to the middle of the floating arena. Ganondorf smiled as Link charged with his sword.
"Oh, just to make sure no one bother's us.", Ganondorf said as his fire wall came up. "There, much better."
Link ran and started stabbing and swiping at Ganondorf, but Ganondorf manage to maneuver through them.
"All most got me boy. Ha!", he mocked.
Link felt odd, something just wasn't letting him move right.
"Shut up old man!", Link snapped back.
Ganondorf was furious at those words, and ducked under one of Link's swipes and slammed his fist in Link's face.
"Take that you little imp!", Ganon laughed.
Link flew about nine feet back, fell and slid on his back for a couple of feet, and flipped on his chest.
Everyone kept cheering him on, giving him the strength to get back up.
Ruto then blurted out, "Come on Link, when you win Link, we can get married!"
Malon heard Ruto and whispered, "Maybe you shouldn't say that, he may stay down."
Everyon giggled a little at that except Ruto. And when they saw how sore that made Ruto, they just giggled harder, and continued cheering for Link.
Navi flew out of Link's hat and asked, "What wrong Link, you couldn't have been slacking that much."
Link stood up and said, "I didn't slack at all Navi! I was almost always constantly fighting something!"
Ganondorf laughed at Link, and said, "And you had the nerve to call me old, you move slower than the Re-Dead! Hahahahaha!"
Link then ran toward him and started attacking Ganondorf very quickly. Ganondorf dodged Links swipes, but barely now. Link wouldn't let up on him one bit, he kept nicking bits and pieces of his clothes, and even Ganondorf himself too.
"Your aim has improved boy!", Ganondorf mocked still.
Link got furious and yelled, "Don't call me BOY!"
He then turned his sword sideways, jumped forward, and slapped Ganondorf's face cutting him with the tip of the sword as he pulled back.
"Curse you boy!", Ganon shouted while wiping away the blood from his cheek.
Link still kept swiping and stabbing at Ganondorf, and even made him stumble back.
Everyone was surprised at how well Link was doing even though he obviously wasn't doing his best.
Daruina started cheering, "Go Link, go!", and everyone joined Darunia in his cheer, repeating it over and over and getting Ganondorf quite annoyed with it.
Then, to his delight, Link managed to make Ganondorf fall on his back. Link then smiled and made a flying leap towards Ganon to finish him off.
"HEEEYYYAAA!", he yelled in the middle of his jump attack.
While Link was in the air and about to finish Ganondorf off, Ganondorf smiled and made his sword appear in his hands.
"Foolish boy!", Ganondorf yelled as he slashed Link in his chest.
The crowd fell dead silent, and the blow from Ganondorf made Link fly to the fire wall. All eyes were on Link, watching there hero twinch in a great deal of pain.
Just before Link started to fall, Ganondorf flew towards Link and stopped by kneeing him in the stomach.
Link yelled out in pain, "AAAAAAAAH!", as he felt Ganondorf's knee rub against his sword scrap ribs.
Ganondorf put his feet on the ground and grabbed Link by the throat. He then sneered at him, and asked him, "Do you really think you were fighting so well, that I couldn't counter? Now you'll see why I wanted to fight you fair...well, you'll see why I was so eager to fight that is. You see, I have found a new spell just for you."
Ganondorf dropped his sword and grabbed a bottle with a healing fairy in it.
Link looked at Ganondorf and gagged out, "So, you plan on increasing your strength with that fairy, or taking my strength away?"
Ganondorf just evilly smiled at Link and said, "No my friend, nothing of the sort. In fact, I'm going to heal you."
Everyone was shocked and somewhat confused to hear that.
Link then gagged out, "Friend?! What are you talking about? We don't even like each other. How can we, of all people, be friends?"
Ganondorf just continued to evilly smile at Link and said, "You understand everything soon enough."
Ganondorf let go of Link, but magically made Link stay in his place, and withdrew his dagger from it's sheath with his now free hand.
Saria didn't like the looks of this, and neither did anyone else.
Link sneered at Ganondorf and said, "So you plan to kill me huh? Well I won't let you, I made a promise, and I plan to keep it!"
Ganondorf laughed and said, "No, I told you I'm going to heal you. You'll keep your promise to Saria Link, but you'll be calling me "master Ganon" from now on. Besides, even if I weren't going to help you, you still could do nothing to stop me."
Link turned his head away at that, but then his eyes shot wide open when he realized that somehow Ganondorf knew about his promise to Saira. Just before Link spoke, Ganondorf dropped his bottle and as it broke, he slammed his dagger into Link's head and started his incantation.
Saira and Malon screamed and turned her head, Ruto fainted, and Zelda felt her heart break, and everyone else turned their heads away at the sight of Ganondorf kill Link, and the sight of Link's temporarily lifeless body.
"Calm down everyone, Link took some fairies with him incase of something like this happening.", Impa said to them
Ganondorf then ended his spell and watched all of the fairies in Links bottles fly out and help his. Impa was very concerned about that, plus the fact that the fairies looked like they weren't helping Link at all.
"What's going on Ganondorf, what did you do!?", Impa shouted.
Ganondorf just smiled at Impa and said, "Don't worry, our friend will be alright."
Impa sneered at Ganondorf for calling Link "our friend", then turned her head back to Link. The fairies flew faster and faster around link, and the trails of light left behind them glen brighter and brighter, until Link could no longer be seen. Almost everyone let out a silent prayer for Link in worry.
Finally, after a few minutes of shining and glowing around link, the fairies finally were absorbed into Link's body. Link fell to the ground and the fire wall slowly started to dissipate. Link slowly got up, and everyone was relived to see Link alive.
"Are you ok Link?", Saria asked worriedly. Link didn't answer, but did something that socked and surprised everyone.
Link ignored her and knelt down on one knee towards Ganondorf and said, "I, Link, do swear to protect defend, and serve you, great Ganondorf, and your great empire."
Zelda looked at Link and said, "Link, do you know what you're saying?!"
Link turned around, looked at Zelda, and glared at her as the fire wall finally fell.
He then stepped forward, and said, "Yes, I do Zelda." He took off his Hylian shield and threw in to the ground at Zelda's feet, then stomped it and continued, "Your kingdom is dead Zelda. Your people are dying, and your heritage is dead. There's no reason to fight for you anymore." Zelda was stunned, and Link walked off to the edge of the land and looked at how shocked everyone was at what he said. "Hahahahaha, don't tell me you don't agree. You all bigger fools than I thought."
"Link, what are you talking about? Where's that little boy who said he'd never serve Ganondorf?", Nabooru asked.
"He's dead just like everyone and everything else that wishes to appose the great Ganondorf in Hyrue.", Link said just before he jumped off the land and headed for home.
Saria glared at Ganondorf and yelled, "What did you do to him!?"
Ganondorf just turned his back on her and made a castle start growing from the ground.
Saria became very angry at him ignoring her, and yelled louder, "Tell me now! That's not Link, I know it! Where's my Link?!"
Ganondorf huffed at Saria and continued to slowly build his new castle.
Impa was now holding Saira's arm to keep her from running after Ganondorf as she yelled, "Tell me NOW!"
Ganondorf was surprised to hear Saira yell like that, so he turned around and said, "You tell me. Link!"
Link then appeared with Farore's Wind.
"Yes Lord Ganondorf?", Link asked.
Ganondorf pointed to the sages and Malon, then said, "Capture all of them now!"
Link nodded and said, "Right away sir."
The girls, Ruara, and Darunia were socked to hear Link, and even more shocked when Link charged at them....
To be continued...
Just to get things started, I'm not the owner of these characters, just this fic. I hope you all enjoy, and tell me what ya think plz. ^_^

"I keep having nightmares about you Link ....I...they....we.…*sigh* Nevermind, just be careful.", she stammered before she stood up, kissed Link, and walked off.
Link was a little surprised that Saria kissed him and blushed.
"What was that all about?", Link asked, thinking out loud.
Navi flew out of Link's hat and said, "I think she likes you Link."
Link laughed and replied, "I doubt that. She's just worried, that's all."
Navi teasingly looked at Link.
"Suuuuure Link.", the little sprite giggled as she flew into Links hat, after making kissing noises.
Link rolled his eyes and said, "*sigh* I just don't get girls. Especially fairy girls!"
Navi kicked Link's head making him laughed.
"Just kidding Navi.", he said as he finished sharpening his sword, hopped out of his tree house and started off for the castle.
Just as he exited the forest, Link saw all of his friends.
"Thanks for the support everyone. Well, let's go.", Link said gratefully.
Then everyone started off for the castle. When they passed Lon Lon Ranch, Malon joined the group after waving good-bye to Talon and Ingo. When they entered the castle market , Link fought off the Re-Deads and everyone quickly ran of to the castle grounds. Link was shocked at what he saw.
"It looks like Ganondorf never came here…but how…!", Zelda said as she walked through the gate behind Link, and suddenly, the bodies of the guards who fought to save her appeared, and the peaceful allusion faded.
"That man is sick. I can see why Ganondorf locked him up.", Link said walking through the bloodstained walkway.
When everyone arrived at the Castle's draw bridge, everything everyone saw disappeared and showed how the castle grounds really looked.
Everyone gasped at the sight of the blood on the court yard and kees practically everywhere. And to everyone's supprise and amamsment, the castle itself was gone. Just dead bodies and pools of blood on the everywhere. Link looked at everything in complete disquest.
Ganondorf appeared from no where and said, "Really boy, I thought you'd like it. Hahahahahahaha!"
Link quickly turned around, drawing his sword in the process, and jumped back to see his demented advisary.
"Were's the castle!?", Link shouted while everyone else was in shock.
Ganondorf only laughed at Link and said, "I didn't think we needed to go through me destroying the castle again. As you see, I left a bridge for you so if you want you can walk away if you're too scared."
Link narrowed his eyes and stepped forward.
"I do not fear you Ganondorf. You can leave if you're scared thought.", he smirked.
But his smirk disappeared when Ganondorf smiled and said, "Good, I was hoping you hadn't lost your fighting spirit. Because everyone stays here!"
Ganondorf looked at the bridge and it burned away.
"Let's fight boy!", Ganon shouted.
Link sneered at Ganondorf and followed him to the middle of the floating arena. Ganondorf smiled as Link charged with his sword.
"Oh, just to make sure no one bother's us.", Ganondorf said as his fire wall came up. "There, much better."
Link ran and started stabbing and swiping at Ganondorf, but Ganondorf manage to maneuver through them.
"All most got me boy. Ha!", he mocked.
Link felt odd, something just wasn't letting him move right.
"Shut up old man!", Link snapped back.
Ganondorf was furious at those words, and ducked under one of Link's swipes and slammed his fist in Link's face.
"Take that you little imp!", Ganon laughed.
Link flew about nine feet back, fell and slid on his back for a couple of feet, and flipped on his chest.
Everyone kept cheering him on, giving him the strength to get back up.
Ruto then blurted out, "Come on Link, when you win Link, we can get married!"
Malon heard Ruto and whispered, "Maybe you shouldn't say that, he may stay down."
Everyon giggled a little at that except Ruto. And when they saw how sore that made Ruto, they just giggled harder, and continued cheering for Link.
Navi flew out of Link's hat and asked, "What wrong Link, you couldn't have been slacking that much."
Link stood up and said, "I didn't slack at all Navi! I was almost always constantly fighting something!"
Ganondorf laughed at Link, and said, "And you had the nerve to call me old, you move slower than the Re-Dead! Hahahahaha!"
Link then ran toward him and started attacking Ganondorf very quickly. Ganondorf dodged Links swipes, but barely now. Link wouldn't let up on him one bit, he kept nicking bits and pieces of his clothes, and even Ganondorf himself too.
"Your aim has improved boy!", Ganondorf mocked still.
Link got furious and yelled, "Don't call me BOY!"
He then turned his sword sideways, jumped forward, and slapped Ganondorf's face cutting him with the tip of the sword as he pulled back.
"Curse you boy!", Ganon shouted while wiping away the blood from his cheek.
Link still kept swiping and stabbing at Ganondorf, and even made him stumble back.
Everyone was surprised at how well Link was doing even though he obviously wasn't doing his best.
Daruina started cheering, "Go Link, go!", and everyone joined Darunia in his cheer, repeating it over and over and getting Ganondorf quite annoyed with it.
Then, to his delight, Link managed to make Ganondorf fall on his back. Link then smiled and made a flying leap towards Ganon to finish him off.
"HEEEYYYAAA!", he yelled in the middle of his jump attack.
While Link was in the air and about to finish Ganondorf off, Ganondorf smiled and made his sword appear in his hands.
"Foolish boy!", Ganondorf yelled as he slashed Link in his chest.
The crowd fell dead silent, and the blow from Ganondorf made Link fly to the fire wall. All eyes were on Link, watching there hero twinch in a great deal of pain.
Just before Link started to fall, Ganondorf flew towards Link and stopped by kneeing him in the stomach.
Link yelled out in pain, "AAAAAAAAH!", as he felt Ganondorf's knee rub against his sword scrap ribs.
Ganondorf put his feet on the ground and grabbed Link by the throat. He then sneered at him, and asked him, "Do you really think you were fighting so well, that I couldn't counter? Now you'll see why I wanted to fight you fair...well, you'll see why I was so eager to fight that is. You see, I have found a new spell just for you."
Ganondorf dropped his sword and grabbed a bottle with a healing fairy in it.
Link looked at Ganondorf and gagged out, "So, you plan on increasing your strength with that fairy, or taking my strength away?"
Ganondorf just evilly smiled at Link and said, "No my friend, nothing of the sort. In fact, I'm going to heal you."
Everyone was shocked and somewhat confused to hear that.
Link then gagged out, "Friend?! What are you talking about? We don't even like each other. How can we, of all people, be friends?"
Ganondorf just continued to evilly smile at Link and said, "You understand everything soon enough."
Ganondorf let go of Link, but magically made Link stay in his place, and withdrew his dagger from it's sheath with his now free hand.
Saria didn't like the looks of this, and neither did anyone else.
Link sneered at Ganondorf and said, "So you plan to kill me huh? Well I won't let you, I made a promise, and I plan to keep it!"
Ganondorf laughed and said, "No, I told you I'm going to heal you. You'll keep your promise to Saria Link, but you'll be calling me "master Ganon" from now on. Besides, even if I weren't going to help you, you still could do nothing to stop me."
Link turned his head away at that, but then his eyes shot wide open when he realized that somehow Ganondorf knew about his promise to Saira. Just before Link spoke, Ganondorf dropped his bottle and as it broke, he slammed his dagger into Link's head and started his incantation.
Saira and Malon screamed and turned her head, Ruto fainted, and Zelda felt her heart break, and everyone else turned their heads away at the sight of Ganondorf kill Link, and the sight of Link's temporarily lifeless body.
"Calm down everyone, Link took some fairies with him incase of something like this happening.", Impa said to them
Ganondorf then ended his spell and watched all of the fairies in Links bottles fly out and help his. Impa was very concerned about that, plus the fact that the fairies looked like they weren't helping Link at all.
"What's going on Ganondorf, what did you do!?", Impa shouted.
Ganondorf just smiled at Impa and said, "Don't worry, our friend will be alright."
Impa sneered at Ganondorf for calling Link "our friend", then turned her head back to Link. The fairies flew faster and faster around link, and the trails of light left behind them glen brighter and brighter, until Link could no longer be seen. Almost everyone let out a silent prayer for Link in worry.
Finally, after a few minutes of shining and glowing around link, the fairies finally were absorbed into Link's body. Link fell to the ground and the fire wall slowly started to dissipate. Link slowly got up, and everyone was relived to see Link alive.
"Are you ok Link?", Saria asked worriedly. Link didn't answer, but did something that socked and surprised everyone.
Link ignored her and knelt down on one knee towards Ganondorf and said, "I, Link, do swear to protect defend, and serve you, great Ganondorf, and your great empire."
Zelda looked at Link and said, "Link, do you know what you're saying?!"
Link turned around, looked at Zelda, and glared at her as the fire wall finally fell.
He then stepped forward, and said, "Yes, I do Zelda." He took off his Hylian shield and threw in to the ground at Zelda's feet, then stomped it and continued, "Your kingdom is dead Zelda. Your people are dying, and your heritage is dead. There's no reason to fight for you anymore." Zelda was stunned, and Link walked off to the edge of the land and looked at how shocked everyone was at what he said. "Hahahahaha, don't tell me you don't agree. You all bigger fools than I thought."
"Link, what are you talking about? Where's that little boy who said he'd never serve Ganondorf?", Nabooru asked.
"He's dead just like everyone and everything else that wishes to appose the great Ganondorf in Hyrue.", Link said just before he jumped off the land and headed for home.
Saria glared at Ganondorf and yelled, "What did you do to him!?"
Ganondorf just turned his back on her and made a castle start growing from the ground.
Saria became very angry at him ignoring her, and yelled louder, "Tell me now! That's not Link, I know it! Where's my Link?!"
Ganondorf huffed at Saria and continued to slowly build his new castle.
Impa was now holding Saira's arm to keep her from running after Ganondorf as she yelled, "Tell me NOW!"
Ganondorf was surprised to hear Saira yell like that, so he turned around and said, "You tell me. Link!"
Link then appeared with Farore's Wind.
"Yes Lord Ganondorf?", Link asked.
Ganondorf pointed to the sages and Malon, then said, "Capture all of them now!"
Link nodded and said, "Right away sir."
The girls, Ruara, and Darunia were socked to hear Link, and even more shocked when Link charged at them....
