Disclaimer: Gosh I wish I owned Zelda. But sadly, I don't.
Summary: Basically, Link and Zelda have reached the top of the remains to Hyrule Castle, which is now known as Ganon's Castle. Speaking of which, Ganon hasn't stopped chasing the two heroes yet, and the flames now keeping Zelda from helping any longer leave Link to finish the battle himself.
A/N: Ok I personally don't like super long chapters, but I don't like ones that take thirty seconds to read, you know? So I made my chapters kind of in between, and there will be plenty of them.
She couldn't breathe.
Her eyes were locked onto the scene in front of her, her mind playing hide-and-seek with the reason she was here. She'd waited seven full years for this moment, and she couldn't wait another seven more seconds. What would happen, now that the triforces of wisdom, courage, and power were in the same battle?
A loud crash disturbed her thoughts, and she once again focused on the battle.
"What is he doing? He's just…lying there." The young boy in a green tunic and the beautiful girl in a slightly torn dress stood, watching the ever-silent, non-moving, black figure lie on the ground.
Link slowly picked up the shining sword that lay near his feet. He cautiously eased his way toward the, what seemed, lifeless body that was still in front of him. Zelda held her breath as she watched the warrior near Lord Ganondorf.
"Be careful…please…" Zelda whispered, fearing Ganondorf had not yet had enough.
He hadn't.
"Raaah! Link!" Ganondorf suddenly rose to his feet and spun into the air. In his hand, which was lifted in front of his face, grew a huge ball of light, surrounded by purple and black. Link gritted his teeth and took a step back, raising his sword to his side.
"Link! Please be careful! The Sages cannot afford to lose you!" Zelda lowered her shouting to a whisper. "And I can't bear to lose you…"
Link only nodded, trying to focus completely on the giant in front of him. Ganondorf released the ball of dark magic and it threw itself at Link, who remained standing. He held his sword behind him and felt its magic wrap around itself. He prepared himself to use the sword technique that the Great Fairy of Magic had granted him. Ganondorf watched with ease as the dark magic ball sped at Link. Link suddenly grinned at him. A look of shock came over Ganondorf's face.
"What? Why don't you fear my magic!"
Link yelled out in anger and released his pose, spun around twice, and let go of the gathered magic in his sword. The ball of magic hit the wall of light from the master sword, repelled off of it, and zoomed back at Ganondorf.
"No!" Ganondorf yelled into the smoke-filled air as his own dark magic turned against him.
"Curse you all! Zelda and Link, I will be back! Don't you think this is over!" He yelled out in rage, and disappeared.
Link let out an exhausted breath, then collapsed.
"Link!" Zelda rushed forward and caught him before he could fall completely. Navi floated behind her. She went to her knees and sat back, resting Link's head in her lap. As she gently moved some of his blond hair out of his face, he smiled up at her. She smiled back. They sat there for a while, staring into each other's eyes.
"Now," Link said finally, "It's over."
"Yes. Hyrule can live in peace now." She stopped.
"What is it? You look…upset…"
Zelda sighed. "You must go back to your time." Link raised his head and stood. He took Zelda's hands and lifted her up as well. Their faces were no more than an inch away from each other.
"I won't if you don't want me to," Link whispered. Then, more suddenly than either of them had expected, the space between their lips was gone.
Ok, yes I did change around the powers used during the battle.
For example, in the game, when the four are outside, Ganon doesn't use one of his magic balls. He uses himself as a weapon. And Link doesn't use the Spin Attack like he did in the fic. He's supposed to use the Biggoron's Sword or some other weapon until Ganon is weak enough to allow the flames around the arena to die down, letting Link go to Zelda where the Master Sword is. He then is supposed to attack Ganon repeatedly until he becomes weak once more, falling over. Zelda uses her magic to keep him still, and Link gives a couple more blows to finally defeat him.
And of course, to end the game, Link does actually go back to his original time. But where would this fic go if I did that?
Wow, I could probably give a whole tutorial on how to beat Ocarina of Time. Cool. I've beaten the game like twenty times. Literally. Hooray for me. Anyway... reviews (along with crits) are welcomed.
