Heart and Mind

by The-Hexforce-Lives

Link is in a coma after his intense final(?) battle with Ganondorf, and while his friends are trying to keep him alive, and possibly wake him up, he's dreaming of what it would be like if the Triforces were given to different people. In addition to this, he's being pestered by someone who has direct contact with the goddesses.

A/N

This story covers events in our non-canonical Zelda-verse, where there is a fourth (fifth and sixth) Triforce piece, I know it sounds wrong, four (six) Triforces, anyway, Malon is the recipient of said Triforce, the Triforce of Love, I like Malon. Link is currently in a coma following the events of Pearl of Eternity, and is currently dreaming. The Triforces have not been given to the usual folk; Link gets Power; Zelda gets Courage; and Ganondorf gets Wisdom. The reason for this is, the that two guardians of the Triforce; Ludus, the by-the-book level-headed female; and Paidia, the reckless male who disregards rules in general for the sake of entertainment, get into a fight, and Paidia won, so he decides to give the Triforce pieces to the wrong people. Time to see what happens…

Prologue: Wisdom, Power, Courage… and Love?

"Paidia! Stop messing with the Triforce!" Ludus said.

"'Paidia!' Mehmehmehmeh!" Paidia responded mockingly. "I think we should give the Triforce pieces to different people this time! We've been giving them to the same people for eight-hundred years!"

"We can't give them to different people! What will Link, Zelda and Ganondorf do?"

"No! I just mean let's give 'em to different people in the line-up! Switch it up a bit!"

Ludus was livid.

"Why in Din's name would we do that? What's next? Another Triforce piece?"

"Actually…"

"No. Don't tell me, you made another piece!"

"No! I didn't make another, I found it."

"What?"

"Haven't you wondered what was in the middle of the Triforce once?"

"No. I never needed to! It's the Triforce! Tri. Three. Not four."

"Well, I was reading the Book of Mudora, and it said that there used to be another goddess! She was the goddess of Love, and was ironically despised by her sisters, because the people of Hyrule thought she was more beautiful, so they cast her to the realm between dimensions, something that can only be done by three goddesses."

"Okay?"

"Well, only three goddesses can make a full blown rip in the fabric of the dimensions, but one goddess can make a small tear, and I was standing right there, when she did and she saw me, and asked me to give her piece of their artifact to whomever I saw fit, and I think since she trusted me with the duty, I should switch up the line-up a bit."

"Why would she trust you with that?"

"I'm a guardian of the Triforce, or, as it should be called, the Quadforce."

"Ok, fine, I'll let you have your fun this time, if only because of this goddess, I don't disobey goddesses."

"Awesome! Who should get what piece?"

"Well, do you have any idea who's getting the Tri-"

"Quad."

"-Force… Ugh. Quadforce of Love."

"Malon!"

"What? Are you serious?"

"Yes, yes I am."

"Why? What's so special about her?"

"Nothing, and that's exactly why I chose her."

"Okay…well, who are the other pieces going to?"

"Well, I'm giving Wisdom to Ganondorf, Courage to Zelda, and Power to Link."

"Hmm, this actually sounds interesting. Let's see how this pans out."
