Disclaimer: I do not own this stuff

(A/N) If any of you are readers of my other fic, don't worry, I haven't dropped it; I just need to take a break and write about something else for a change.

I've sorta been bingeing on Zelda for the last couple of weeks, so I feel I just gotta write something about it.

Chapter 1: Defeat of the Evil King

Link grunted as he dodged a powerful horizontal slice from his opponent's foul sword. It was so close that it felt as if the air itself was cutting into his scalp. He hastily got some breathing room between himself and his opponent with a backflip, sliding a short distance on the slick mud.

Ganondorf Dragmire glowered at the hero; his mouth was curled into a twisted sneer, while his hate-filled eyes bored into the Link's feral blue. Ganondorf planted both of his feet firmly into the ground and gave Link the universal gesture that roughly translates to 'bring it on'.

Link obliged, and charged at the King of Evil with his sword held aloft. The metal seemed to sing as it arced through the air, and it clashed with Ganondorf's foul blade in a flurry of sparks. Their blades were locked, and the Blade of Evil's bane and Ganon's tainted blade of evil reacted with a brilliant burst of energy. Momentarily distracted by the light, Link was unaware as Ganon delivered a vicious kick to Link's midsection, knocking the breath out of his Links and sending him flying towards the edge of the area.

On the outside of the arena, Zelda gasped when the hero landed with a heavy thud. Her fears were abated when Link scrambled to his feet, and shook the dizziness from his head.

"Pathetic, is that all you got, hero?" Ganondorf spat, injecting as much malice as he possibly could into his words.

Link glared at him, his eyes holding pure anger. He took a step forward and grimaced. Ganon's kick hurt.

That's going to leave a mark… Link thought to himself.

"Not…even…close…" Link wheezed, taking deep breaths whilst regaining his footing.

The two fighters circled each other like a couple of beasts, looking for an opportunity to strike. Fierce thunder raged overhead, perfect weather for such an occasion.

Without any regards to his own well-being, Link charged at his hated enemy again. Once again, their blades clashed. It was a storm of thrusts, slashes, parries and dodges, though neither of them managed to get an opening.

It went on and on, the hero and the evil king answering destiny's call. However, under the strain Link was tiring much more quickly than his much larger opponent. While having the Triforce of Courage allowed for strength and endurance, it simply didn't measure up to the combined might of the evil king and the Triforce of Power.

His arms were going numb from the constant shock of deflecting his opponent's powerful blows. His sword's dance was becoming sluggish, and his opponent managed to get a series of light cuts in.

Ugh, what would she do right now? Link thought to himself as he sidestepped a stab. His little imp had been with him through the fires of hell, the dank underbelly of the deepest temples, and the icy grip of the tallest mountains, but now, she was gone; all because of this bastard. Just the thought of her caused uncontrollable rage to pass through his system. With a crazed yell, in a adrenaline and rage fueled rush, he smashed through Ganon's defenses and managed to sink his blade into his opponent's shoulder. Ganondorf's eyes widened a nearly unnoticeable amount as the familiar sting of the Master sword bit his flesh.

In retaliation, Ganondorf brought his massive sword downward, in an attempt to cleave him in half head to toe. Link withdrew his sword and dodged it with a sideways roll. Ganon didn't have a chance to turn around before feeling the sword cutting into his less heavily armored back. A segment of his heavy cloak fell to the damp earth, severed by the hero's blade.

He turned his body toward's his cape's murderer at frightful speed. "Impressive," Ganondorf grunted. Link was not prepared for what came next, as Ganon suddenly threw his massive bulk at the hero. With a partially muffled yell, he was sent careening off balance as he tumbled to the ground. Link winced as he landed on his elbow. His sword was sent from his hand and landed some distance away.

Groaning slightly, Link barely had time to raise his shield as he saw the imposing silhouette looming above him, poised for a killing blow. The sword came down, hitting his shield with a loud clang. Link's face fell as his trusted shield was shattered from blow. Link cried in pain as the sheer force of the blow broke his wrist with a loud crack.

Somewhere nearby, Zelda gasped dramatically.

Link cradled his broken limb and grunted as a powerful hand suddenly grasped his left arm and yanked him into the air. Link suddenly found himself suspended several feet off the ground, broken limb dangling at his side, staring into the face of the king of evil. Ganon's eyes held pure contempt for his opponent. His sword was planted in the earth a few feet away, the surrounding soil being corrupted by the evil within.

"But not impressive enough," Ganon sneered as he drove his free hand into Link's side. Link screamed as he felt several of his ribs break under Ganondorf's armored fist. Ganon laughed at the sight of the hero's suffering, a deep, evil laugh.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so weak," Ganon growled, "She put up more of a fight!" Ganon taunted. Ganon's lips curled into a twisted smile at the look of pure hate on Link's face, "The Twili are so pathetic, she died screaming, and so will you!"

"Shut up! You don't…get to…talk about…her…" Link seethed, each word sending spikes of pain down his side.

Ganon laughed again, a gleeful one, "Oh, I'm sorry, did you love that weak little imp?" he mocked, sadistic glee dancing in his eyes.

"Go…to hell…"

Link sneered at him and spat in his face.

Ganondorf wiped the slightly bloodied saliva from his face, and then punched Link in the shoulder; his already wounded arm. Link screamed in pain as the blow dislocated his shoulder.

Again, somewhere nearby, Zelda gasped.

"Don't you worry, you'll be seeing that imp of yours again real soon," Ganondorf drawled as he threw Link clear across their enclosed area. He hit the far barrier and crashed to the ground and was still.

Zelda cupped her hand to her mouth and gave a cry of disbelief as Epona whinnied beneath her. The intelligent horse was very well aware that having her master's limp form lobbed clear across the area was a bad thing.

This…this can't be! He can't fail! Zelda thought in a panic. Still, the green-clad hero did not budge as Ganondorf withdrew his blade from the earth and slowly stalked over to his nemesis. Each footfall he drew nearer to the downed warrior seemed to last an eternity.

"No! Link! You have to get up! You have to!" Zelda screamed.

Ganondorf glanced her way, "Save your breath, I want you to scream when I kill you…"

Link's eyes fluttered open when he coughed in pain at the agony piercing his side. He had heard Zelda calling his name. The world came into focus; the evil king was currently having a chat with the princess. He was about midway across the area, his sword in hand.

Link tried to push himself to his feet, but the intense pain in his side caused him to fall back to earth.

"Oh, still breathing I see, hero?" Ganondorf's mocking voice came to his ears. Link glanced to his opponent and his heart dropped to his stomach as he saw him draw closer and closer.

"Link! Come on, don't give up!" Zelda's voice rang out.

Link tried rising again, but failed once more.

"This is the end, hero…" Ganondorf drawled, mere yards away, moving his blade in a position in which to hew him.

With his good arm, Link tried to pull himself across the earth slightly, to distance himself to his soon-to-be-murderer.

This is it, isn't it? I've come all this way for nothing? He mused to himself, he closed his eyes, awaiting the inevitable. If Midna was here right now, she would probably be chastising him for getting himself into this position. Oh how he longed to hear her call him 'wolf-boy' one more time…

As he shifted his weight around, he heard something clink in his satchel. His eyes snapped open, glaring slightly as he saw Ganon draw even closer, drawing out the process as much as agonizingly possible. With his good arm, he snaked his arm into the pouch in question when his fingers contacted something. Pulling it out, his eyes widened when he realized it was a glass bottle, filled to the neck with a shimmering purple liquid.

Link's mouth went agape slightly as he realized what he was holding. The Great Fairy's Tears! Of course! I had completely forgotten about these!

'Drink these and you should be able to clear any difficulties you might encounter ahead.'

Now is not the time for flashbacks! Shaking himself from his memories about his pleasant excursion in the Cave of Ordeals, he uncorked the bottle as Ganon inverted his sword, intent on impaling him.

Link downed the whole bottle in a single gulp, and coughed at the slightly salty taste of the tears. Link's eyes went wide at the sudden feeling that overtook him. Following a brief euphoria, the pain from his wounds was masked by the power of the tears, time seemed to slow, and he felt an explosion of energy course through his veins.

From an observer's viewpoint, Zelda saw Link withdraw a bottle of an unknown substance.

"Goodbye, hero," Ganondorf drawled as he prepared to end Link's life.

Zelda gritted her teeth as she saw Ganon's blade descent, when she believed that all was lost, the most unexpected happened. Link suddenly rolled sideways, dodging the blade at blazing speed. Before Ganondorf could cry out in surprise, Link disarmed him with a vicious kick to the hand, sending it arcing close to Zelda's position.

"How the-…?" Ganon started before he was abruptly interrupted as Link launched himself to his feet using merely a shove from his good arm and he punched Ganondorf in the face, throwing all his weight behind the blow. It was enough to launch the king into the air, landing yards away with an earth-shaking thud. It was then that Zelda got a close look at the hero. His face cared an expression of serene calm, but what caught her attention the most was the triforce symbol on the back of his hand. It was glowing so brightly, that it caused Zelda to squint at its sheer radiance, even from as far away as she was. Zelda could feel the waves of raw power emanating from the green-clad hero who was-until-recently-not-quite-dead. His skin seemed to be glowing softly with a golden luster.

"Wha…what is this?" Ganondorf bellowed as Link calmly approached him, his face carrying a trace of fear. Link wordlessly closed the distance and delivered a swift jab to Ganon's stomach with his left hand.

What Link was feeling right now is hard to describe; he did not feel any fear, at all. His super-honed reflexes gave him the sensation that time was slowing down, and other than that, he felt like he could do anything.

Dodging a hook from Ganondorf, Link countered with a vicious uppercut, causing the king to stagger backwards. Unfortunately for Link, even though the tears elevated him to super-human levels, he could still only use his left arm as he punched Ganon again.

Link noticed that his Triforce symbol was going ballistic; he had to avert his eyes from his own hand, lest he be blinded from the radiance.

Ganon made a futile attempt to deliver a bone-crushing uppercut, but Link easily sidestepped it.

"Persistant…pest…aren't you?" Ganon shouted, as Link pounded his jaw again.

No matter how much punishment Link put on him, Ganon refused to go down. The Triforce of Power gave him nearly limitless endurance.

Use me…

Link's senses perked up, he thought he heard something.

Call upon my power…

Link glanced at his hand, squinting at the Triforce symbol.

You know what you must do…

Suddenly, Link understood. Calling upon the power of the Triforce of Courage, Link delivered a punch backed up by the power of the goddesses. His fist blazed with golden flames.

"This is for the children…" Link muttered as his fist made contact, Ganondorf gasped.

"This is for Ilia," his fist made contact again, a small golden explosion resulted, causing Ganon to teeter dangerously to the side.

"This is for Zelda," his voice was louder as he pounded Ganon's face with an even more powerful blow. Ganon staggered backwards, blood dripping from his broken nose. Ganon was swaying on the spot, completely dazed. The Triforce had nullified his great endurance.

"This is for every life you took!" Link shouted, his fist coming in contact with Ganon's face for the last time. A fine spray of blood shot from Ganon's mouth, contrasting with the dark sky.

"Im…Impossible…" he muttered. The evil king spun on the spot, and then finally, like a great tree that had been cut, came crashing to the ground, face up.

As quickly as it came, the power of the Triforce retreated back into him, and the mark on his hand faded from radiant to dim. Link took in heaving breaths at what he had just accomplished.

Did I just punch out Ganondorf?

The feeling of nearly limitless energy receded along with the triforce, and Link nearly collapsed as his fatigue began to catch up with him. Catching himself, a grim smile came to his face as he caught sight of the Master Sword. There was one thing left to do.

From nearby, Zelda gazed with disbelief at what she had just witnessed.

Did…did Link just punch out Ganondorf?

She was shaken from her thoughts at the sound of scraping metal. Standing tall was the hero with the Blade of Evil's Bane clutched firmly in his left hand.

"And this…" Link said quietly, "This is for Midna!" Link bellowed, and the blade came plunging into Ganondorf's chest.

From miles around, people could hear the sound of the King of Evil's demise.

(A/N) There you go, hope it wasn't too heinous. Feedback is very appreciated. As for Link punching out Ganon...well...I sorta bought Punch-Out! off Virtual Console a few days ago so I just had to have Link punch out Ganon for lulz.

I have some idea as to where I am going to be taking this, I actually partially thought this one out this time!

I may do a oneshot here and there for lulz sometime, just a heads up.

If anyone is interested in beta'ing give me a shout.

Until next time...
