Years after Link saved Termina from Majora, Ganondorf escaped his seal. He kidnapped the princess yet again and held her imprisoned in yet another pink crystal. Zelda was so bored that she fell asleep in her crystal while Link and Ganondorf fought. It was déjà vu for her. In her sleep, she did not hear Ganondorf make a most peculiar request.
"You are still an impressive fighter, boy. Time was changed, but you were not. I have great need for one such as you. Why don't you quit this 'hero' thing and work as my second-in-command. You would get to sleep, eat decent food and never have to see another of those blasted temples again. What do you say?"
Sleep. Link hadn't slept since his quest began. He never slept during quests. He didn't know why adventures came with the worst insomnia. He just knew that he would have no sleep until the quest was over. He never ate, either. He only drank potions and occasionally milk. Then there were the temples… how Link hated those temples. They were like mazes with monsters and many locked doors.
Link found the offer quite tempting. He also realized that, by getting close to Ganondorf, he could kill him when his guard was down. Link looked Ganondorf in the eye and nodded.
"Good choice." Ganondorf replied, gesturing to an ornate door beside the organ. "I'll show you to your room now."
Ganondorf unlocked the door and started through it. Zelda awoke to the sight of Link walking out freely behind Ganondorf, before they disappeared from her view entirely.
"What?" she thought, "Did he…surrender?" Zelda thought about this for some time, and then she shook her head. "Nah, he wouldn't."
Link obediently followed Ganondorf through hallways and up countless stairs. Ganondorf stopped at a door, opened it, and motioned for Link to go inside. The room was quite nice, with a big bed and a lot of space. Link took off his sword and shield and promptly collapsed on the bed. He was asleep in seconds. Ganondorf regarded the sleeper with a smirk. He pulled an orange gem from his pocket and lifted up the sleeping boy's hat. He pressed the gem onto the back of Link's neck.
"Foolish boy, you thought you could trick me. I knew your intentions the moment you accepted my offer. This should keep you in line. Muahahahahaha!" Ganondorf told the still sleeping Link. A loud snore interrupted the maniacal laughter. "Note to self," thought the somewhat embarrassed Evil King, "Save the rants for when he wakes up."
