Link dodged the sword and ducked low. Gannon leapt back as Link swiped at his legs.
He just won't die!
A fireball narrowly missed taking Link's head off. He lunged at Gannon, sword clanging against armor. Gannon laughed and shot another orb of fire.
As Link ducked he saw Gannon's sword, and everything slowed down. Time halted.
Zelda…I'm sorry, Zelda…
He barely felt the blade drive through his chest. He heard Gannon laughing… Zelda singing… The Deku Tree's final words…
Link hit the ground, back arched.
The Hero of Time was dead.
