3rd person POV
Only one door separates our precious Hero of Time from something, or someone, that has the power to change the hero for better or for worse...
Links POV
Ugh. I just want to be finished with this stupid temple already, but it's not like my complaining will help. At least, for now, I have found a place to rest and replenish my strength. And I have no doubts that the next room ahead will contain another enemy for me to deal with. So I got my stuff and myself back together and started to open the door in front of me. I entered a room with water half way up my shins and with that a small island in the middle which upon it sat a lonely tree that I could barely make out through the heavy fog in the room. As I cautiously walked to this island I began to make out a figure sitting below the dead tree. It had a sad aura which could only be described as cold and lonely. This emotion I, myself has grown used to on my travels and I do not wish for others to feel it either. So to not scare the figure I crawled behind the tree and peeked at what the shadow was doing... Wait what? A shadow? Said shadow began to move, startling me, and walked away from the tree. What I could not tell was if it, no he, knew if I was there.
Dark link POV
I could hear his splashing in the water from a mile away when he walked to my tree. He would have to be absolutely oblivious to think I didn't hear him. Of course I knew who he was. For I, his shadow, know everything about him. His mind bombards me daily with duties and worries but behind it all I can feel a sense of loneliness too. When Ganon created me, he did not take into account that I might be able to communicate with him or read his thoughts. I want to be my own person but no, I'm stuck being a shadow, a copy, of another.
I knew he was behind the tree and chuckled to myself. He was my shadow right now, spying on me and my actions. He was his shadows' shadow in a non-formal sense. I mustve echoed my voice in his head because he looked a little shocked when he heard it. He was used to hearing some "stranger" in his head speaking directions. But this stranger happened to be me. I want Ganon to die as much as him so I've been helping him through his journy so far, Even when we were young.
3rd person POV
Link was shocked to hear the voice once again in his head but it had seemed to come from the shadow in front of him. 'Yes I spoke to you,' The voice said. Dark link looked at link with an amused smirk on his face. "Wait, you look almost exactly like me." Surprising link even more, but of course noticing the big details having to do with color. Dark link was much paler than link having do to with being trapped in here most of his life. He also had black hair compared to the heros blond hair, but the thing that bothered our hero the most was Dark Links cold red eyes that pierced Links blue ones and gave a sense of understanding.
Time seemed to stand still between the two as Link walked towards his shadow. The smirk vanished on Dark Links face and turned into a frown. Both pulled there swords and started to engage in a battle where one could only describe as graceful yet deadly. Both had a duty to defeat each other, yet both held back on there fighting. It was links duty to defeat Ganon and save Hyrule but not to kill Dark. As it was Darks duty to prevent Link from continuing his journey but not to kill him. Yet both of the heroes and shadows duties could only be fulfilled with defeating the other and possibly ending there life... Possibly. Both men understood at the same time what this meant through their connected minds. Link stood still and waited for Dark to disarm him, only to be shocked when Dark sliced his arm to do it. 'Dont worry hero, I just need some blood to prove to Ganon I defeated you.' Darks echoing still kinda shocked Link but he quickly understood and nodded. Then in a flash Dark disappeared leaving a dazed link behind.
Darks POV
I teleported to the throne room where Ganon sat and kneeled before him. Oh how I wanted to spit on his shoes and decapitate him in a swift motion. How the blood would be stained on my sword and how it would fly through the air in victory giving me the power. "Dark!" I was brought out of my daydreaming and my attention was brought to the idiot in front of me. I told him the 'news.' "Sir, I have stopped the hero in his quest to defeat you. And for proof look upon my blade for his spilt blood." I drew my sword and handed it to Ganondork. He looked over it and put a spell on it to check who's blood it was. "Indeed you have. You have proved yourself useful Dark. Now go die." He calmly stated. Wait what?! "Sir?" "Did u actually think I would give some of my power or actually let you rule beside me?! You make me sick!" Pig-face stood up and drew his sword. Before I could even get I chance to draw mine he had cut a long deep red gash across my chest. My knees gave out from under me and I fell, hard. "Die slowly and painfully Dark. You were a fool to do my work." Right before I passed out I snapped my fingers and disappeared in a flash of darkness.
