Chapter One: Ganondorf is Defeated
"Huh! Yaaaaaaaah!"
Link lets go of the weapon in his hands and stares in awe as he witnesses his own sword sticking out of the man's chest. The man screams in pain and agony, bending backward, looking up at the sky.
I did it... Link thought, surprised. Ganondorf is gone... I really did it! Me, Link! A 12 year old boy!
Link smiles to himself, running the event back through his mind. When he held the mirror shield as Zelda shot the light arrows at the shield and they bounced off and hit Ganondorf. Then the sword fight, where Link won, not the nasty, cruel, man of power...
"Link! You did it! You defeated Ganondorf!" Link turns in the direction of the voice and sees Zelda running toward him. She embraces him in a hug, and he awkwardly hugs her in return. "You're a hero..." She whispers in his ear. Once she says that, the Triforces on the back of there hands glow simultaneously. They both notice and quickly separate and stare at their hands, then up at each other, jaws dropped.
Link notices tears running down the girl's beautiful face, the one who used to be a pirate, Tetra. He misses Tetra. The determination and fierce attitude. Even though she doesn't exist anymore, she will always exist in his mind.
He nods and smiles, still in shock, and looks at her tear filled eyes. His own eyes start to water as he thinks about the amazing journey he just fulfilled. Sneaking around Forsaken Fortress, saving Aryll, finding the King of Red Lions (without him, Link would've never made this accomplishment), all of the confusing and super hard temples, Hyrule Castle, and all of the friends he made such as Medli, the Deku Tree, Makar, Valoo and Jabun, spirits Laruto and Fado, Tingle, the postman Quill, Prince Komali, and most importantly, Tetra and Zelda. He also wouldn't have been able to save Hyrule without the help of Orca and his great sword skills back on Outset Island, his precious home.
"Oh, we have to let Father know!" Zelda exclaims, smiling from ear to ear.
Link gives her a sympathetic look, reminding her that they are never going to see the King of Hyrule, a.k.a the King of Red Lions, ever again...
Zelda's smile becomes a frown slowly, as she looks at Link in the eyes sadly. "Oh... Right, I forgot..." She chuckles uneasily at herself and looks down at her feet. "Well, we better go," Zelda looks up and smiles, even though Link knows it's fake. She is crying on the inside, no doubt.
To be kind, Link smiles back and takes her hand to lead her out of Hyrule Castle. He looks at her as she walks gracefully by his side, head held high.
After a couple minutes of walking and silence, they reach the entrance and Zelda takes her hand from his and turns to face him. "Hey, um, do you still have that rock that I gave you at the Forsaken Fortress? You know, the one where I could talk to you if you needed help..."
Link nods then urges her to go on. "Well, if you don't mind, I would like to contact Gonzo, see if he can bring the ship and take you back home..." Zelda looks solemnly at Link. He looks at her and gives her a look that says, "What will happen with you?" She can apparently understand what he means, because she replies with a smile: "Oh, don't worry about me. I'll be fine. I will stay with Gonzo and the other pirates on the ship. They will take care of me, no worries!" Her smile fades and she looks down then looks up at Link straight in the eye and says: "Thank you, Link, o brave hero. I will never forget what you did for my beautiful kingdom, Hyrule, and especially for me. But most importantly, I hope I will to see you again after we go our separate ways..."
Link nods understandingly and hands her the beautiful glowing blue stone from his nap sack. She smiles and thanks him.
"Hey! Link! Haven't heard from you in a while! How's it going? Has that Ganon dude been defeated?" Comes the very familiar voice that both Zelda and Link know is the one and only, Gonzo.
"Hey Alf, its Tet-, erm, Zelda," Gonzo chuckles slightly at her mistake. "Well, I was wondering if you could come take us back to Outset to drop Link back off with his sister and grandma..."
"Oh, of course! We are on our way! Just hang in there for a couple minutes, we aren't far from the Castle." Link imagines Gonzo smiling with joy, willing to get to the Castle to see his two little friends again. "See you soon!" Link then hears Gonzo yelling orders to the many other pirates on the ship before his voice fades away.
"Bye Gonzo, and thanks." Zelda looks up toward the surface, and Link follows where she is looking at. He then remembers that they are underwater, and that the Hyrule King is inside those doors under the statue of the Legendary Hero. They can just walk in there and go down to see him, but they are under strict orders never to go down there again, no matter how bad they want to...
After a couple of minutes of waiting, it suddenly gets darker under the water, and Link and Zelda both look up. They see a silhouette of a pirate ship. They look at each other and nod. Zelda takes his hand and pushes off of the castle floor, pulling him with her.
Once they get to the surface and onto the ship, they are greeted with a bunch of pirates congratulating them and patting their backs. Zelda smiles, and Link can tell she's excited to be back, and she's obviously holding back some tears of joy and excitement. But Link knows that being a princess requires to stay tearless and always proud with your head held high, no matter what.
Suddenly, all the pirates are pushed aside, and big old Gonzo steps out of the crowd and gives both of them a bear hug... At the same time, almost suffocating them if Zelda didn't squirm out of his grip and finally get him to put Link down.
"Sorry guys. Just got a little excited there..." Alf chuckles nervously and scratches the back of his neck.
"A little too excited, Gonzo." Zelda says, smiling and chuckling with him. "So how is everybody? I've missed you all so much!"
"And so have we, your Highness..." All the pirates, (including Gonzo) say and they bow majestically to there leader who used to be a bratty pirate...
"Thanks guys, but on this ship, I'm still Tetra," She smiles and all of them laugh and cheer. Zelda holds her hands up to silence the happy group of pirates. "But we can't forget about Link here," Zelda turns to face Link and smiles. "This boy is the one we should be cheering for, not me. He is the hero, he is the one who defeated Ganondorf and saved Hyrule! I'm not the one who went through all this trouble." She turns back to face the pirates. "He could've just stopped after saving his sister, but no. He decided to continue and complete and even bigger journey! And of course, like saving his sister, he succeeded and at the same time saved all of Hyrule!"
Zelda then smiles and holds up Link's arm. Link smiles from ear to ear and looks at the crowd of the pirates, cheering and laughing and congratulating Link, the Chosen Hero.
I hope you guys liked it! Again, please review! :D
