The Secret of

GANON------------------
Chapter 0: introduction
night... a beautiful time of day, if you are gazing from shelter. Otherwise, your enemies use it against you. The Moblins have terrible eyesight and are always throwing their spears at trees they thought were the enemy... but Keese have sonar, and creatures like Goriyas and Lynels have night vision like a cat...
...then there's Link. Little Link. Most children his age would be fast asleep in bed. But not Link. He has no bed, and if he doesn't press forward, he won't have a bed. Two weeks ago, he lured several monsters away from an old woman that changed his life forever. Now, he's almost finished with the quest. In his hand lies a small golden trinket. It's the Triforce of wisdom, and though it doesn't look like much, collecting the pieces are parts of it have changed Link's inner character immensely. Where once he was afraid to step into the darkness, he now ventures with excitement, curiosity, and confidence. What is one more dark cavern to the boy who has conquered so many in such short time?
Link stepped inside the eyeglass-shaped hill atop Death Mountain, and was immediately met by white ivory walls. Link initially wondered where the ivory came from, then decided not to delve into gruesome details. He soon found why the dungeon was so ivory and white: Blood stains and shows up well upon it. Several rooms were covered in the blood splattered from mysterious bodies long gone.
...As Link entered every room, he braced himself for the worst... ...yet oddly enough, nothing ever came out or attacked him. It was as if he was the only one there.
...Then, of all the doorways in all the hallways of this white dungeon, there was finally a door that stood out amongst the others. Unlike the other doorways, whose contents were almost illuminated by their own bright white...
...This one was pitch black.
Link entered the room, knowing fully well what was about to happen. Before him appeared the murderous pig known as Ganon. He shouted and squealed and insulted Link with every move. It wasn't Ganon's actions that made Link uneasy however... it was his own... Ganon was hemorrhaging with some of the cuts Link made, but through it all, kept laughing as if there was nothing wrong. Link knew not to pass up an opportunity though, and delivered the final blow with the magic silver arrow...
Ganon continued to squeal that same stupid smile as he stood there dying. "Don't stop on my account", he squealed. "The pain YOU inflict feels great..."
Link stood there astounded and asked the glutton how that could be. To this, Ganon suddenly transformed. He was still hemorrhaging and coughing up blood, but now, Link was horrified to see himself where Ganon once was. He saw himself, bleeding, vomiting, and though in Link's voice, laughing that same laugh. Was this what Ganon meant by his words!? Was Link hurting himself?! Just as soon, the doppelganger exploded, leaving only a pile of Ash and the Triforce of Power. Link cautiously approached the Triforce of Power, uncertain what influence it would have on him...
...But as soon as he touched it, the floor around him gave way, and he plummeted into darkness, like a tar. Forever... ...and ever... ...and ever...
