Even Evil has a Heart

Prologue: Hyrule Falls

The army lay sprawled out on Hyrule Field. The sky seemed to brew with anger, and rain started to fall heavily on the plane. The leader of the army was clothed in black armour, with his patterned cape slashing wildly in the air. He checked the reins on his horse, and then got onto the saddle. Today the undoing would be done. The plan would be played out. Hyrule will fall.

The warriors of the man were veiled in black, hardly visible if not for their white mounts. Ganondorf looked straight ahead, through hooded eyes. The gate was the one thing between him and all of which he wished… all but one thing. He took one last look at his feminine army, and his horse stood on two as he withdrew his sword, and struck it towards the walls of Hyrule city, a great roar rising from the army, as they ran into the gate.


Ganondorf was the first to dive into it, but despite its great strength, the wall crumbled as his steed leapt through it and continued on like nothing had happened, and began to speed through the city.

Two guards were meant to watch for any danger, but instead they decided to go off and pick up some beer for the night. As they made their way towards the guard towers, they heard horses. Many horses. In the darkness and rain, a mounted figure emerged, and began to storm down the street. Not heeding the guards.

"Slow down!" One of them yelled.

"We said slow down!" Hollered the other.

He did not. And other horses arose from the darkness, following the leader. The guards panicked and threw their beer at them, then tried to run. They were the first of many to be killed by the invaders. Their blood washed away by the rain.


Almost two hundred guards rallied themselves at the pass to Hyrule castle. The town was taken by the invaders. They left nothing alive in their pass. Almost everyone was dead, or had managed to escape to the fields, or they hid, waiting to die. The final stand at Hyrule castle was to be Ganondorf's end, thought the guards. Along with the desert women. They surrounded the castle, archers within to fire upon the enemy at any given moment. The gate crushed like foil, with over two hundred of the enemy charging through the pass. The guards were overwhelmed. This force was too huge, they had no chance. Many guards fought back, defending their land to bloody death, others ran, only to be trampled by the horses. Even once they reached the castle gates, with arrows falling with the rain, they wouldn't be stopped. It even seemed that the arrows fell around Ganondorf, with only the rain passing through. Ganondorf unmounted, and began to continue into the castle, destroying the gate with a great slash of his sword, which cut the air, the force flying through the gate, breaking all the wood into mere splinters, and jumped through the open entrance and strode off into the hallowed halls. He was alone on this one. No one dared follow. This was his business. More then a hundred soldiers fell by his sword, not a single one even being able to raise his spear or sword. Ganondorf came to the door he wanted. The king's bedroom. He kicked it down and saw the king standing at the foot of his bed, with his five elite guard.

"What are you doing Ganondorf? Why are you killing all these people you swore to protect?" Said the king.

"I swore to nothing." Said Ganondorf roughly.

"This is unforgivable Ganon!"

"I know."

The guards jumped at him, but two of them were dead as soon as they moved their feet, cut down by Ganondorf's sword before they knew that he was even moving.

The other three dived towards Ganondorf, but he jumped out of the way, the only thing being cut was his patience.

"Enough of this! This is my kingdom now!" Yelled Ganondorf, and sent out a surge of lightning from his clenched fist, killing the guards, or at least making it so they wouldn't be standing again. Ganondorf felt very happy with his latest victory, and turned to where the king was standing, and then felt his cape fall from his back.

"You think I cannot wield a sword Ganon?" Said the king as he landed.

Ganondorf picked up his cape and wrapped it around his right hand. He then dived towards the king, pushing him back.

"Do you have no decency Ganon? Are you as bad as your comrades in that wicked army?" Sniped the king.

This struck a cord with Ganondorf, and he lunged towards the king, smashing his sword, and making him fly onto the balcony.

"Why do this? Why?! You cared Ganon! We said we would ally! Damn you!" Screamed the king, blind rage taking over his senses.

"I'll be sure to tell your daughter that for you, King Hyrule." Calmly said Ganondorf.

"Zelda?! What have you done with Zelda?"

"Not what I have done…" Ganondorf said as he lifted the king from the ground and held him above the courtyard. "But what I will do." And he let go of the king, cutting off his head as he began to fall. He fell into the flooding water of the courtyard, soaking the water of the land with his blood.

Ganondorf looked over his new land. The only place that hadn't been ravaged by his army was the Temple of Time, that would be where the villages had hidden. He saw his army flood into the temple, and many screams of terror rose into the air, but one caught his ear. The cry of a young boy.

He closed his eyes, and felt a tear fall down his face. He opened his eyes, and picked up the tear with his finger, and looked at it in disgust, and threw it down onto the devastated land, and then he began to remember. Remember what he longed to forget…
