"Am I… dead?" I asked myself absent mindedly as I looked down at the huge sword going through my chest. No… I can't be dead. I mean… wasn't I supposed to save everyone and the world? I thought that everything I did was for that purpose… to save the people of Hyrule from this tyrant.
"NO! I CAN'T BE DEAD! THIS MAKES NO SENSE!" I tried screaming to Ganon's face, but my head refused to move to face him, my lips denied me words, and my lungs lacked the strength. I just felt… weak all over my body; it felt limp and unresponsive. Everything I wanted my body to do refused my orders. All I could do was watch as Ganon roared a fierce evil laugh at my dead body as he flung it from his sword and unto the ground. I just laid there – my green clothes already soaking in my fresh red blood. I couldn't move… just watch as tears flowed Princess Zelda's face like the waterfalls in Gerudo Valley. I watched Navi desperately bashed her tiny body into the Evil King attempting to strike him down with what little strength she had… but it was futile. I was dead – the legendary Hero of Time who awoken 5 sages, brought light to this messed up future had died in the final battle to the King of Evil.
Ganon eventually brought up one arm and effortlessly bashed the small blue fairy away into one of the large pieces of debris that was near my corpse. I don't understand how I was seeing all this unfold; it like I was seeing it from my view but also from every angle as everything was happening. I felt anger and rage towards Ganon; despair and immense disappointment in myself for failing in this journey.
I just couldn't help but stare at Zelda as she openly wailed to the dark sky over my death. Did she actually love me? Or was it that I was the world's last hope? Maybe even both? I don't really know, I was too overcome by despair to think straight. I watched as Ganon finally broke from his insane laughter and then began focusing his attention on Zelda as she still cried. I could tell what on Ganon's mind as he approached the despaired princess; he was going to eliminate the last bit of oppression to his rule right then and there. I wanted to scream to warn Zelda or something but I couldn't; all I could do was watch helplessly.
I was at the tip of my despair from it all as I was about to watch Zelda butchered before me, but what happened next surprised me; but not as much as Ganon himself when Zelda suddenly shot a beam of light from her hands that hit Ganon right in the face. The monster fell backwards screaming in pain as he dropped his two swords and grabbed at his face.
"This is for you Link!" Zelda screamed as she stood up and faced the blinded Ganon. She raised her arms into the air and formed a ball of light above her head. "Six Sages: do it now!" as she then collapsed to her knees. A whirlpool of golden light then formed underneath Ganon, slowly beginning to suck the King of Evil in. I watched as Ganon cursed the names of the sages one-by-one, the goddesses themselves and lastly Zelda herself as he was engulfed in the light. The air was full of his screams and anger, yet also the sadness the came from the princess of Hyrule.
"I'm sorry for failing you… please don't let my failure be known to history…" I whispered in her ear, as I attempted to place a hand on her trembling shoulder. She didn't respond to my hand as I expected but to my surprise her head immediately turned my way like she heard me, her wondering glare hanged there for a moment, then slowly turned back as she continued to cry for my death.
