Hey, this is a little idea I had about the three timelines after Ocarina of Time. This has spoilers for the final battle, so don't read if the game will be spoiled! Anyway, the other parts are longer, this first chapter is more of an introduction. Please enjoy, and please review. Constructive criticism welcome!
The light arrow struck the once King of Thieves like a bolt. The arrow stuck in his shoulder, joining others. Magical energy crackled outward, illuminating the misshapen, tusked pig's face for a moment. The monster fell forward, landing heavily. The earth shook and Link stumbled backwards, balance momentarily gone.
Zelda watched them both through the fading wall of flames. It flickered lower, and, willing herself not to feel its heat, she stepped through the wall.
"Link," she called out, but her voice caught in her throat. He was still off balance, the Master Sword hanging uselessly at his side. She saw Gannon convulse, watched his muscles spasm as he began to climb back to his feet.
"No!" she mouthed. She was too far away to help Link. He was wounded; blood poured from a cut above his eyebrow, blinding that eye, and she knew he was bruised and bleeding elsewhere. If the demon lord stood back up, she knew Link wouldn't survive.
A tear forced its way down her cheek, followed by another. A searing heat rippled through her abdomen. Her face contorted from its intensity, her mouth open in a silent scream. A roar filled her ears; her vision faded as her eyes rolled back into her head. The heat tightened around her core, and just before it consumed everything she was, something within her shattered.
