Link stood before him in the usual defensive stance he had whenever he was around, Mirror Shield in right hand, Master Sword in left. However, this time something was different. The Hero kept his distance instead of charging into battle with him, and so he simply watched back, waiting to see what would happen. The young man had that look in his eye that just screamed he was about to do something crazy, a look Ganondorf had often seen before he made a death-defying leap through the air, or ran without hesitation at a monster that no normal person had a snowball's chance in hell of beating.
However, he hadn't been expecting his eternal foe to lower his weapons- if only just slightly- straighten his stance... and speak. In all his previous incarnations, he couldn't recall ever having heard the young man say a single word. Others had always done his talking for him, and he would have thought the Hero a mute if he hadn't heard the blond grunt, growl and shout as he swung his blade, or cry out in pain when a monster managed to land a hit on him.
"You have all this crazy powerful magic, yet you only ever use it to rain destruction and chaos on Hyrule. Have you never thought of all the good you could do with that kind of power?"
"Don't be a fool, boy." he spat back- he would never admit to referring to him as a man in his thoughts, young though he may be. That would be admitting to far too much respect for his supposedly 'weaker' adversary. "The hero always needs a villain to fight." he sneered. "The Goddesses will never give up their power play; you and I are destined to battle for eternity."
To his great shock, Link threw down his weapons and stood with his arms out; an easy target. "Then for once, let's not play their game."
Odd little snippet that hit me early one morning. So far it's looking like it just might spawn a full story, but if this inspires anyone else, you are welcome to take the idea and run with it as far as you can. :D Just don't forget to share it with me!
