I do not own Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It belongs to Nintendo.

FIRST REWRITTEN CHAPTER.

Frankly, the first try at the this pathetic and completely noncanonical; therefore, I have decided to rewrite the entire thing, as well as complete it. So, it would be wise to disregard the next few chapters of this, as it probably will not go along with THIS chapter.


He sits in his fortress, torches lit all around him. His hands are folded and rest against the jewel in his forehead. His expression is dark. He is observed from afar by his second-in-command. He is described in later notes as having the light flicker about his face, which intensifies the feeling of great evil. Suddenly, he stands for the first time in many months. Lord Ganondorf has awoken.

Rushing to his side, the crafty and bodacious Gerudo Nabooru bows her head. "My lord, have you a plan?" She takes in his reply, analyzing every word.

"Yes, my faithful servant, I do. I shall surrender to the king." The once fearsome king's voice is almost a whisper. It is a rare moment of softness. Nabooru is stunned.

"B-but, Lord Ganondorf, you cannot be serious!"

"My decision is final. As of today, you shall be ruler of the sands. I will pledge allegiance to the Hylian king," says the man. He towers over his assistant. He looks almost forlorn. "I will depart in the morning." Then, with a flip of his cape, he disappears into the corridors of the fortress.

That night, as he plots the next day, he cannot help but think of his previous defeat at the hands of the Hylian forces. He remembers that he, himself, had only taken a single life: the life of the last Hylian Knight. He would later come to realize that it was the father of the boy who would be the greatest threat to his master plan.

Ganondorf cannot understand what had stopped him on that fateful day. All he can recall is being on the verge of victory, and then losing it all. He frowns deeply, and crushes his hand into a fist. The gem on his forehead glints with the light. He looks up at nothing, and smiles an evil smile.

"My lord, are you sure that you wish to go through with this ridiculous plan?" asks Nabooru. She looks up at her superior in questioning. She simply cannot believe that her king is accepting defeat. She is very suspicious.

"Yes," is all he offers as an answer. The Gerudo opens her mouth to say more, but the man gallops away on his black stallion. Her eyes narrow at the sight of her departing king. He is up to something.

...

"Why have you come before me?" booms the King of Hyrule. He is furious.

Ganondorf walks calmly into the throne room. He bows out of respect for his fellow royal. "I have come to settle the differences between our people. I wish to create an alliance between us to better our country. I pledge my allegiance to you," he explains. "I mean you no harm. I shall no longer be a threat to you. I give you my word."

The Hylian king cocks and eyebrow and contemplates his options. In the meantime, the Gerudo man's eyes flit to the window, where he sees the young princess and an unfamiliar boy looking at him. He is amazed at how much the princess has grown. Her power will be a great addition to my own. He observes the boy for a second longer. I sense the Triforce of Courage. Perhaps this is the legendary hero? He will be a nuisance, I'm sure, but no hero.

"I accept your alliance. I feel a great evil coming forth in the near future. We will need all we can to defeat it." The kings stand and nod in each other's direction. The Gerudo turns and leaves the chamber, prepared to return to his homeland.

...

He sits in his private quarters, relaying his old work. "It appears that the boy has defeated Gohma, the insect inside of the Great Deku Tree. He now possesses the Kokiri Emerald," reports Koume, the icy twin of the firy Kotake. The witch circles a giant crystal ball.

"No matter. We will obtain the Goron's Ruby in a short time. The dodongoes have prevented them from even approaching their food stores. Surely they will starve. They will give me the stone."

Ganondorf is sure of himself. Albeit unknown to his people, he had been planning a great attack on Hyrule for a long time, since his first defeat. "The Zoras will have no choice but to relinquish their stone as well. They cannot lose their precious fish-lord."

"Ah, but the boy is advancing. He approaches Death Mountain," squawks Kotake. "Have you no apprehensions? No worries?"

"None at all. Why do you think as such?"

"You are our son, Dorfie, it is in a mother's nature to worry." Koume and Kotake stare at the man.

He grimaces. He has always hated the pet name that his surrogate mothers had given him when he was but a child. "My plan is flawless. I shall be victorious." He clenches his teeth in a snarl.
