Archery

"Ha!" Pit boasted, smirking down at Link from the small tree. "I'm the best archer in the Smash World!"

"As if!" Link protested, grabbing Pit's ankle and yanking him to the ground. "Do you really think your Light Beams are better than a perfectly-handcrafted stone-tipped arrow?"

"I do, considering how my Light Beams kicked the crud out your arrows in 1986!"

"Oh, please! Even then, I was better than you! You weren't even released until December 19th; whereas I was released on February 21st."

"Whatever; Numbers and dates don't matter in the Smash World, Linkin Log! What say we have a little contest?"

"You're on, runt!"

Not ten minutes later, the two archers stood in the target range. Nearby, Toon Link acted as referee.

"First to 100 wins!" The young Toon shouted. "Only bull's-eyes count!"

"Ready to lose, Linkin Log?" Pit taunted, twirling the Bow of Palutena in his hand. Link punched him upside his head, deciding to go first while the angel was stunned. He raised the Hero's Bow, and drew back the arrow; he fired, landing a clean bull's-eye on the target before him. Toon Link placed a 1 placard on Link's side of the scoreboard.

"Beat that, Fly-boy!" He sneered at the boy. The young angel scoffed, nudging Link aside with his bow as he strode forward. He walked to the targets, and marked five of them with a bold black marker. He came back to Link's side and readied his shot; He sneered smugly, releasing the Light Beam. It struck a bull's-eye on the first target, before arcing and coming through the back of the second target's center. Link could only watch in awe and fury as the Light Beam swerved in and out of the marked targets like a sewing needle before slamming into the ground and vanishing. The hero of Hyrule snarled as Pit polished his knuckles on his tunic and Toon Link placed a 5 placard on Pit's score.

Over the next two hours, they fired off arrows and argued and taunted each other. Their scores were tied at 99 even, and, plagued by fatigue under the afternoon sun, neither archer could land another bull's-eye.

"What are you two doing?" Sheik asked, smiling down at the boys as they regained their breath.

"Sheik!" Link said happily, getting to his feet. "Can you please tell the Flying Pipsqueak that I'm the better archer?" Pit shoved the Hero to the side.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," he offered, "but would you tell your boyfriend that I'm the best in the Smash World?" Sheik chuckled, smirking behind her scarf; she ruffled Pit's hair as she walked over to Toon Link. She whispered into the short Brawler's ear, and he nodded. The two archers looked at each other curiously as they waited for the Toon to fulfill Sheik's request, which required gathering 100 untouched targets and lining them up, single file instead of side by side. He went back to the scoreboard and quickly added Sheik's name to the board.

The disguised princess ran to the front of the line and stood about ten yards from the first target. She pulled a Smash Ball from her pocket and threw it high into the air. She quickly pulled out her whip and destroyed the Orb, gaining its power. Her Light Bow appeared in her hands, and she took aim to fire the Light Arrow. The attack burned smoldering holes through every target in the line, and every hit was a bull's-eye. Link and Pit went slack jaw, staring at Sheik in amazement as she came to stand before them.

"I'm the best archer in the Smash World!" she announced as Toon Link handed her a new Smash Ball as a prize.
