The horse galloped along at an ever increasing speed. The gates were being lowered in front of them. Zelda could hear the galloping of hooves behind her and whispered to Impa to speed up. Zelda heard Impa mutter a few words and the horse had a burst of speed and the hoof noises behind them faded away. Darkness had acuminated over Hyrule castle but though the darkness Zelda could see a small white blob in the distance, just past the gate. It was floating around something that looked like a boy, more specifically, the boy who Zelda sent to save the day, Link.

As Zelda approached the gate she quickly decided on a plan and readied the Ocarina of time in her hand. She drew on her magical ability like Impa had taught her to and focused it on the Instrument. She hummed the tune that had been passed down to her and she felt it seep into the Ocarina. The horse galloped past Link at a high speed and Zelda exchanged a glance with him that seem to say everything. Taking the Ocarina in her hand, she threw it and it landed in the moat. Zelda saw Link turn around and look at it before he disappeared from view.

'Where are we going?' Zelda asked after a few minutes galloping.

'To the Gerudo tribe' Impa replied.

'Oh, I thought we would go out of Hyrule. I mean, it is the King of Darkness after all.' Zelda said after a few minutes quiet.

'No, it will be safer with the Gerudos. They know Ganondorf. He was one of them and they exiled him.' Replied Impa once more.

'Wouldn't that mean this will be the first place he comes?' Zelda asked.

'Maybe, but it may also be the last, or he may never come here. He could be scared. He may only come here after he has control over the rest of Hyrule.'

The horse crossed over a bridge and at the end Impa jumped off. She drew a pocket knife from her robes and started cutting the ropes that hung the bridges up.

'What's that for?' enquired Zelda.

'Just a precaution' murmured Impa. 'In case he followed us'

'Link wouldn't do that' Zelda replied hastily.

'I never said he would' said Impa as she was re-mounting the horse. 'But Ganondorf could have followed more stelthfully then we anticipated.'

'Oh right, yeah.' said Zelda, trying to hide her reddening face.

As the two women galloped on, Zelda felt a tremor in the Earth. And soon it was shaking around her.

'What's happening?' she asked Impa.

'Link must have taken the Sword from it's resting place. And Ganondorf must have been waiting for him. He must be in the sacred realm.'
