Authors notes: First off, obviously, I don't own Zelda or anything related to it. I own NOTHING in this chapter, understood? Good! Don't go suing my broke ass.
Second, I wanted to try something new with Zelda fics. Leave some reviews and tell me what you think. When I see some reviews, good or bad, I'll continue. However, if you do leave a bad review, that's fine. Just, please, be constructive. Tell me what I can do to get better and I'll see if it helps.
Link looked out towards the massive spire on the horizon that was Ganon's Tower, standing in the door-frame of Lon Lon Ranch. Absently, he rubbed the top of his left hand, over the Triforce mark that rest there, signifying his status as the chosen of the Goddess Farore. Tomorrow, when the sun peeked over the horizon, Link would fight Ganondorf, and end his seven year reign of terror. Tomorrow, he'd face his destiny. Tomorrow…
"Thinking about tomorrow?" A female voice asked from behind the Hero. Link felt two arms wrap around his neck gently. He looked over his shoulder, Malon's smiling face filling his vision. He had stopped at Lon Lon Ranch to tell Malon how he felt about her. He did this knowing what may happen. Knowing that he may not return from his battle tomorrow, he didn't want something as important as love to go unsaid. Link smiled softly, and nodded simply, looking forewords again. "Pfft, Link," Malon scolded him gently. "stop it. I told you, you're spending at least one day without any worries of destiny or monsters or sages with me, and then tomorrow, you're going to go to Ganon's tower, and kick so much ass, your boot is going to permanently stink of monster butt. Got it?" The daughter of the ranch owner removed her arms from Link and crossed them, leaning back. Link turned from the dark scene before him, looking to the young woman before him with a smile. She was right. He was going to have plenty to worry about tomorrow, with the fate of Hyrule hanging in the balance. He turned to the woman he loved, and who, evidently, loved him. He couldn't help but chuckle to himself, remembering the joke Talon, Malon's father, had made a joke seven years ago about Link marrying Malon. Perhaps he would do just that when he returned. Malon wrapped her arms around Link's neck, kissing his lips for the second time, the first having happened moments after Link confessed his feelings to her. Malon pulled Link into her house, pushing the door shut behind him.
Ganondorf sat at the top of his tower, his fingers skillfully plucking away at the organ keyboard, listening to the music ring through the large room, and knowing that the sound reverberated through the halls and top floors of his tower. He felt the slight heat on his right hand, knowing without seeing the light of the Triforce of Power glowed in it's rightful place, anxious to be joined by the other two pieces. Ganondorf knew the organ was cliché and unneeded, but he felt it was a very nice touch. Some clichés were there for a reason after all. Eye's closed, Ganondof basked in the pink glow that held Princess Zelda, sneaky little wretch. Ganondorf could simply kill the Princess now, claim the Triforce of Wisdom, and be more powerful than he'd ever imagined, and easily crush Link, but that didn't sit right with the King of Gerudo. Even now he could hear the fight below him winding down as Link dispatched the pair of Iron knuckles he had stationed there to get the Hero into fighting form. It was only sporting after all, and besides, it made things more…cinematic for the day when he retold this story. Not to mention, more thrilling for the Princess above him to watch as her last sights on Hyrule. He knew the Hero of Time wouldn't be stopped by a few little monsters set in his way. They were like so many pawns before the knight that even now rushed up the stairs to their final confrontation. The door rose suddenly, the sound of the door slamming open, cutting into the dramatic organ music's superiority over the silence. Ganondorf's hand began to glow even more fiercely, sensing both of the other pieces that would soon join it. A surge of healing magic ran through the room, cued by Ganondorf himself. He wanted Link at his fullest for when they fought, so he could defeat the Hero of Time at his best. Ganondorf suddenly stopped playing, looking at his right hand.
"The Triforce pieces are resonating... They are combining into one again…" He said, eyes never leaving his hand. "The two Triforce pieces I could not capture on that day seven years ago…I didn't expect they would be hidden within you two!" Ganondorf let out a laugh, standing strait. "And now, finally, all the Triforce parts have gathered here!" Ganondorf turned, throwing his cape back turning to Link. "These toys are to much for you! I command you to return them to me!" With a mighty yell, and a torrent of dark energy buffeting the Hero of Time, the battle began in earnest.
How did things come to this? Link had defeated Ganondorf, he'd rescued her, and things were supposed to have been over! And now, Link battled a losing battle against a large pig-monster. Ganon. Zelda shook her head, willing her power to it's fullest, trying to lower the flaming barrier that surrounded the battlers. Before the battle had even started, Ganon had knocked the Master Sword from Link's hand, leaving the Hero without his best weapon, without the sword made to kill evil such as this. Link was fighting valiantly, and, with the power of Farore on his side, but unless Zelda could get him his sword, even the Goddess' couldn't help Link now. The Princess let out a quiet cry as she saw Link slammed into the fiery wall, heard him scream out in pain, and fall before Ganon. Raising his swords, Ganon prepared for the final strike. Suddenly, Link rolled to his back, pulling his bow from the quiver and knocking it, light flying off of the arrow. Ganon howled in anger, the howl turning from one of anger to pain as the arrow flew into his face. The pain this caused Ganon to drop the flaming barrier, if only for a little while.
"Link! The Master Sword is here! Hurry up!!" Link scrambled to his feet, running towards his sword. Zelda smiled slowly, surely, now, this fight would be over for good. She closed her eyes, calling her power, preparing to hold the beast still, so Link could finish him off once and for all. It was then that her horror became reality.
Ganon dropped his blades, blindly groping the air around him, and his fingers caught the back of Link's sheath, pulling the hero closer. Link fell to his back before Ganon's feet, even as he cleared his eyes. Link knocked another arrow, aiming it at Ganon. The King of evil roared in fury, knocking the bow away from Link, and wrapping his huge, meaty hand around Link. The hero struggled, trying to free himself from the beast's grip. However, it was all in vain. Ganon grinned evilly, his piggish eyes focusing on Link. With all of the strength of the Triforce of Power, Ganon began to squeeze. Zelda scream into the night air neatly mirrored Link's. However, Link's scream was cut off by the horrific sound of crunching bones and popping organs as the great Hero breathed his last.
Zelda couldn't breath. It…It wasn't possible! Ganon had…won?! No! No!! Zelda closed her eyes and shook her head furiously, her blond hair following her movements. Any second now, she'd wake up. She'd wake up, still a prisoner of Ganondorf's, waiting for Link to come rescue her. Opening her eyes slowly, Zelda saw Gannondorf throw Link's lifeless body aside, and roar his triumph. Zelda bit her lip, summoning all of the courage she could, grabbing the Master Sword from where it lie, and running from the scene, fleeing with the only hope that the people had left.
