Author's note: this is my first fic, so no flaming please! Constructive criticism and friendly reviews welcome!

I do not own LoZ. The all-powerful Nintendo does.

Revenge

Every time… every time he got close, almost had him, he slipped away!

It was almost as though the goddesses had cursed his hunt for Ganondorf, for the… thing that had destroyed everyone and everything he held dear. Ordon… castle town… Zelda…

Midna… his heart clenched at the memory of that night when she had died in his arms, and he rode on, forcing back tears.

Five years of searching had not been good on Epona, and she was getting old. He would have to let her go soon, and find a new horse.

Another thing lost… there was simply not a replacement for Epona. He would never find such a fine mare, such a good friend.

Five years of searching had led Link here, to the remains of Death Mountain. He rode through all that remained of Kakariko Village, a few charred piles of wood and bones.

Eventually, he got through Magmoor Caverns. This time, Ganondorf would not escape. This time there was nowhere to run.

He reached the door, opening it and stepping through.

Cliffhanger! I am evil! Reviews are my soul, without them I cannot write the next chapter!
