"Next round is Link against Exter. The winner of this will go to the semi-finals." The announcer fell quiet as the two swordsmen entered the arena.
Link started with a jump attack that was parried with ease, leaving Link open for a few seconds. Exter took advantage of this by slashing at Link's sword arm. Link dropped his shield to steady his sword. Link was thankful that only wooden swords were used. Then Link went on offensive landing a few weak hits then rolling round his opponent then hitting him in the back. Exter was almost on the floor he could have ended it right then but something distracted him. Something didn't feel right.
"That's one skilled hero." She sighed. "That's a big complement coming from a princess." From where Zelda was watching there was a great view of the tournament.
"Whether Link wins the title or not in my view he's the best swordsman in Hyrule."
"something doesn't feel right." She tried to figure out what was wrong. "The seals are weakening." Zelda rushed out of the room, she had some places she needed to go.
