Chapter 1

The sky darkened as Link rode down the dirt path towards Hyrule. Lightning cracked and thunder filled the sky as Link felt raindrops begin to fall from the sky. He pulled Epona to a stop before the gates that would lead him into Hyrule. He stepped down off of Epona and then proceeded to cross the bridge which was now cracked in half with the little river flowing in between the two pieces of the broken bridge. As he began to cross the rain started turning into a downpour that drenched everything. Link walked down the main street of Hyrule before entering into the marketplace. Link stopped and looked at the houses. The color of the houses was rather dark and no light could be seen in any of the buildings. The only sound that Link heard was the thunder from the storm as everything seemed to stand still in the road. He continued forward and found himself in the market place before the castle. Looking around he saw that there were figures standing around. Their silhouettes motionless in the darkness and obscured by the rain and then a flash of lightning lit up the sky, and Link could see that he was looking at members of the undead. Link reached into his tunic and pulled out the Ocarina of Time and put it to his lips as he took a breath and began to play the song that he learned in the tomb that belonged to the Royal Family. The song had the usual effect that it did on these members of the undead, but it seemed to do nothing for the weather as if this was to be a place of permanent darkness. The undead creatures froze in place from the magic that the song seemed to provide. Link continued towards the castle his path lit by the occasional flashes of lightning. It was not long before Link stood speechless as his eyes widened at what he saw. Hyrule Castle had changed. Instead of the beautiful white castle that stood with gardens Link now saw a castle that was pitch black seemingly made out of iron. Link started to walk towards the castle and stopped when he felt the tip of his foot almost sink and then he looked down and noticed that the castle was floating on a space of land that was over a pool of molten rock. The heat was so intense that Link could feel it from where he stood. He stood at the ruins of the steps that would have led to the Hyrule Castle thinking how he would get there until he heard a familiar voice.

"Link," the deep voice of Raru the sage of light spoke out, "We will help you gain access to the castle."

After this Link could feel the medallions that he held within his tunic begin to resonate and soon they were glowing. Then suddenly six lights each the color of the medallions shot out of his tunic. They hovered in front of Link and then there was a bright flash that made Link cover his eyes with his hands and when he brought them down he stared at a bridge formed by the sages. The walkway in the middle was clear with the colors of each of the medallions on the sides of the bridge. Link felt a little nervous as he stepped onto the bridge. Despite this Link continued forward after he had reached the end of the bridge he now stood in front of the open doorway in to the castle. He walked into a room that contained a stone floor except for the velvet carpet that led down a set of stairs. Torches on the walls illuminated the room and Link could see that at the end of the stairs were two of the statues that he had encountered before with the top part that had an eye that would shoot a beam at him if he did not destroy it first. Link reached into his pocket and pulled out one of his little bombs and waiting for the right time he lit it and tossed it at the statue when the eye was facing him. It exploded and the top portion of the statue went into the air and came down crashing into several pieces. He then did the same thing with the other and had the same successful result. He approached the door that stood in between the two statues. It slid up and Link entered into a huge room. It was really large and in the center stood what looked like a tower of some sort. The entrance was at the end of a bridge. The entrance held the face of a monster with its mouth open. There was some kind of force field around it. Link approached it and drew the Master Sword from the scabbard on his back and tapped the field with it and the force field disappeared. Link walked into the next room not knowing what to expect next. He found himself standing at the bottom of a spiral staircase that was covered with another red carpet. The only illumination was small torches on the wall that still left plenty of darkness. Link continued up the stairs with his sword in hand. He continued up until he came to a door that opened up into an empty room. He walked forward into the middle of the room and stood looking around. There seemed to be other entrances into the room but they were blocked off with cold iron bars. Link then noticed that he was covered with a shadow, and spun around to see what was behind him and saw nothing. Link could hear something above him and dove out of the way as the monster that looked like a hand fell onto the floor. Link quickly swung the Master Sword cutting the thing in half causing some blood to spray. He then moved through the door that stood at the other end of the room. He then moved up another flight of stairs and through a door. This room contained some portions of the floor elevated with countless clay pots on them, and in the middle of the room a giant square structure towered in the center and it looked like Link could climb it, but when he looked up he could see that it elevated to the next floor where he could hear organ music playing. He continued through a door that was on the wall opposite the one that he had entered and as he ascended the stairs the music became louder and when he reached the top of the stairs and stood in front of the door the music was the loudest it had been indicating that the source was on the other side. Link stepped forward and the door opened. Link now stood in a room with a figure with a red cape sitting at the organ playing with the princess in a crystal created from magic. Then the organ playing stopped.

"My Tri-Force of Power is resonating," the man began, "Then that means that we are all here."

Link knew this voice and was not surprised when the organ disappeared and Gannondorf turned to face Link. He wore black armor that was draped in his red cape. He stood staring at Link with cold eyes that only showed the desire for power.

"This power is too much for you," Gannondorf stated as he raised his hand showing the resonating Tri-Force on the back of his hand, "I demand that give it to me."

With this a wave of dark energy flowed over Link preventing him from going anywhere. Link used his strength to move the Master Sword into a horizontal position which seemed to block the wave as Link swung the sword upwards causing the wave to shoot towards the ceiling making a loud noise on impact sending some dust and pieces of stone falling to the floor.

"Good," Gannondorf laughed as he launched himself into the air and remained floating, "But I have more power. Now Princess, you will witness the downfall of your so-called Hero of Time!"

He then sent the crystal that contained Zelda into the top of a corner in the room. With this he raised his hand and a crackling sound filled the air as it drew in dark energy. Soon an orb of energy was formed and he hurled it at Link. Link dove out of the way as the orb crashed into the floor dispersing the energy causing the portion of the floor to drop out. Gannondorf raised his hand again drawing in energy and hurled another ball of dark energy at Link. Link was ready for it this time and swung at it with the Master Sword causing it to fly off of his sword and crashing into the wall. Link then got an idea. The next ball that was sent flying his way he swung the Master Sword horizontally sending the ball right back at Gannondorf. Link could see Gannondorf's eyes widen in surprise as the ball hit him square in the chest causing him to fall to the ground.

"Enough of that," Gannondorf grunted with frustration, "Now we will truly see who is more powerful."

With that Gannondorf drew out a sword and charged Link swinging it down on him vertically. Link swung his sword into a horizontal position blocking the attempted blow. Then Link came in to attack and swung his sword diagonally down at Gannondorf who blocked it and shoved Link backwards and swung the sword horizontally. Link ducked out of the way and attempted a jab at Gannondorf who blocked it. Gannondorf then thrust his sword at Link who deflected it downwards. Link saw Gannondorf smile as he saw Gannondorf's sword underneath his. Gannondorf let out a grunt as he swung his sword upward sending Link flying over and behind him. Link landed hard on the floor.

"Link look out," Zelda yelled.

Link rolled out of the way as Gannondorf attempted a killing blow, but thanks to the princess's warning Link was able to get out of the way. Then Link saw Gannondorf getting ready to attempt it again. This time Link was ready and blocked it and pushed the tip of the sword to the ground. Then Gannondorf swung sending Link rolling away. Link got up and turned around and swung his sword into a horizontal position blocking Gannondorf's sword. Link pushed him back and they swung at each other again. This time when their swords locked Gannondorf delivered a powerful kick to Link's ribs sending him reeling back. Gannondorf came at him again and swung at Link. Link still recovering from the kick put up his arm with the Hylian Shield to take the blow from Gannondorf's sword. The force of the blow almost caused Link to lose his footing completely and then Link saw an opportunity. He used all the strength in his arm that held the shield to push away Gannondorf's sword and then thrust the Master Sword into Gannondorf's chest. Gannondorf let out a yell of pain. Link could see the blood dripping down the blade of the Master Sword onto the handle and then onto the gauntlets that he was wearing on his hand. Then came the crackling sound of the energy again before he knew it another orb was in Gannondorf's free hand. Link pulled the Master Sword out of Gannondorf to block the attack, but he was not fast enough as Gannondorf threw the orb at him the moment that Link took the Master Sword out of him. The orb hit Link with incredible force sending him flying backward off of his feet. Gannondorf took a few steps back due to his injury clutching his chest with his free hand.

"This is not over yet," he stated.

Gannondorf took another step backward towards the center of the room and fell to one knee from the pain. Link could hear Gannondorf mumbling something that he could not quite make out. Link then focused his attention to the Princess as he noticed that the crystal she was in was slowly lowering. Link grabbed the Master Sword and ran over to her. He stopped before the crystal and tapped it with the end of the Master Sword. The crystal disappeared the second the Blade of Evil's Bane touched it.

"Are you alright Link," she asked.

"Yeah," Link replied.

They then both looked at Gannondorf who was still mumbling. Link started to walk toward him tightly clutching the hilt of the Master Sword ready to deliver the finishing blow. Suddenly Gannondorf swung his head up in laughter. Link then noticed a circle starting to form on the ground in front of Gannondorf. It started to fill with a bright blue light. Soon there was a bright flash and the entire circle was now filled with light and dark blue rifts that were circling around inside it.

"If you really want to stop me," Gannondorf began, "Then you will have to catch me."

After that Gannondorf went forward into the blue circle and disappeared. Link took a step forward when he felt the Princess's hand grab his arm. Link turned and saw that there was clear worry on her face. Link put away the Master Sword and Hylian Shield. He turned and gave her a smile and then gently pushed her hand off of his arm and continued forward stepping into the blue circle. There was a flash and Link could feel himself being carried to wherever this thing was going to take him.
