Death of the Hero Disclaimers: This is my first fic on this site, so reviews would be very helpful.

I don't own Legend of Zelda, that belongs to Nintendo The ratings PG because I want to be careful, although it may or may not be an accurate reflection of the content Sorry if it is weak, as I said, my first fic, so its bound to smell at least a little.

That said: ENJOY!

Face to face they fought, swords clashing in a frenzy of slashing and blocking, the ringing of steel disturbing the otherwise peaceful silence of Hyrule Field. Panting, Link felt himself tiring gradually against his cloaked, unknown nemesis. Links tunic became more and more sodden with perspiration as he continued fighting, whilst his attackers clothing seemed perfectly dry, but being a deep black, it was impossible to tell. As they fought on, the sun began to creep up over the horizon, shining on the polished steel of both swords as they continued their deadly duel, dicing through the air, hungry to cleave through flesh and let blood ruin their polished state. The attacker seemed to push itself into a hurry, and Link knew that he only had to hold up until sunlight to deter his enemy, for now anyway. The attacker moved around, pushing Link towards the side of Lon Lon ranch, to provide shade for a few more vital minutes. Link fought back ferociously, but was soon met with a stiff kick, which sent him flying against the ranch wall, with a sickening splintering of his ribcage. Defeated and in pain, he propped himself up with the cool wall, determined to at least know who wanted him dead. "W...who are you?" Link stammered. With that, the attacker took off its hood. A horrified look crossed Link's face as he took the view in. This was swiftly replaced with a frenzied choking as a sword impaled his body, dooming him to a slow, painful death. The attacker withdrew the sword and wiped in on the cloak. Taking a scroll and Link's sword, the attacker pushed the scroll onto the sword, and pushed it into Link, forcing out a painful scream. Satisfied, the attacker left Link to his death, and ran before the sun claimed another death, the second of that night.
