Chapter One
How had I been defeated? Dark Link asked himself nearly every day. Ever since he was conquered by the Hero of Time, he was constantly blaming and questioning himself. I mirrored you're every move. I was created for the sole purpose of killing you, and you defeated me.
He crept through the shadows of Hyrule Field in thought, searching for a purpose. Ever since his defeat by Link, he was weak. He had hardly the strength to even wield his sword for long before he became exhausted. A lot of it was in his head, and his own self loathing thoughts were what made him weak.
He'd just watched his Master be defeated for the second time by the Hero of Time's descendent. He yearned to have the ability to resurrect his Master, but alas, he was too weak, and had no experience in the dark magic he would need to break the seal.
It had rained the night before, and in a puddle, Dark Link stared at his reflection. A failure was all he saw. He had one purpose, one reason, and he failed his Master. He had no way of redeeming himself. Dark Link wanted nothing more than death. Without a purpose, he was useless, a wasted shade.
He'd attempted his own murder dozens of times. But to no avail, for a shadow cannot be killed. It will always remain, as long as there is a figure to cast it, the shadow can never vanish. The only way to destroy himself, was to destroy the Hero, and the Hero's decedents. If this was accomplished, he would no longer exist.
I can't even commit my own suicide. He had no means of defeating the Hero, since he had been over powered when he was at his strongest. If there was a way to regain his strength, he did not know of it. He gritted his teeth and began wandering the field once more.
I will redeem myself. I will resurrect the King of Evil, my creator. I will murder the so called Hero, and cease to exist. I will accomplish my sole purpose.
She lingered in the corner of the Royal bedroom, glaring at the sleeping Princess. How dare she take my form from me. She wanted to steal the Princess, and leave her body-less like she had been since the split. Puppet Zelda, she deserved a true form. Focusing all her hatred and agony on the Princess, she watched her day by day, hoping she could find a way to steal her solid form back.
Being the mere spirit she was, her attempts were useless. The Princess could not see or feel her presence. The only idea she'd thought up that might restore her solid form, was the death of Princess Zelda. The Princess, however was untouchable by her. It crossed her mind that her Master may be able to restore her body, if he returns. But the possibility of that within the next century was not.
My Master. He was the main reason she wished to retrieve her true form. She'd fallen in love with her creator, as well as let him down. She had to sit back and watch his defeat. That damn Hero. Stealing the Princess's body back, and sealing away my Master. Why does he continue to live for what he's done?
The sleeping Princess jostled in her sleep, causing Puppet Zelda's thoughts to collect. Waiting for some accident, for the Princess to welcome death was tedious, and useless. But how else could the Puppet spend her time? She had all the time in the world as long as she was concerned. No one could see her, no one could sense her. She went un-noticed by the living, but the dead welcomed her. She was the greatest evil spirit that wandered Hyrule, being the pure creation of the King of Evil, and the dead treated her like Royalty. No, she didn't want their loyalty and devotion.
Her true form and her Master; that was all she desired. Perhaps there was another way to accomplish these desires. What would it hurt to search? She did have all the time in the world, leaving the living Princess unattended for a while wouldn't hurt; she wasn't making any difference anyway.
Taking a last glance at the solid form she longed for, she slipped through the tower's window and dropped into Castle Town, where she wandered completely undetected by the living. Their careless ignorance made her sick. Her presence there should drive them into hiding, bring their fears to reality. But no, they continued about their day, seeing right through the spirit, Puppet Zelda.
