"The
Triforce parts are resonating. They are combining into one again."
Ganondorf sat at his organ almost talking to himself. He could sense
the Hero of Time entering his tower chamber. It took him long
enough. Rising out of his throne he spun around to face his nemesis.
"These toys are too much for you I command you return them to me,"
announced Ganondorf. He raised his hand showing the piece of the
Triforce that he possessed. A dark power emerged from his hand
forcing the Hero of Time to step back.
The final battle had begun.
Ganondorf had descended and withdrew a blade from within his power.
Link caught that as his queue to draw the Master Sword, his own
weapon. The "blade of evil's bane" as the legends had named
it. The sword fight raged on as Princess Zelda watch in horror as
the weight of Hyrule rested on the victory of its legendary hero.
After a long and difficult battle, Link was finally able to down
the Evil king. "No, this, can't, be. I, Ganondorf beaten by
this kid. Link!"
Sheathing the Master Sword Link responded,
"I have won Ganon. It's over. Now it's time to let the
Sages deal with you."
Ganondorf coughed up blood and fainted.
Zelda fell from her crystal prison as it dissipated. She turned to Link. "We've won, but is it really over?" The castle began to rumble.
"What was that?" Link asked. "An Earthquake?"
"No, it can't be!" Coming to realization of the situation, Zelda understood what was happening. "Link, right now Ganondorf is using the last of his strength to crush us in the ruins of the tower. We must escape, this way."
"I'm right behind you." Zelda led Link out of the tower. The walls of the tower began to collapse from the force of Ganon's attempt to crush them.
Link and Zelda raced through the tower, Zelda opened the gates while Link defended her just as they had planned. Once they got outside, the tower completed its collapse leaving Ganondorf trapped inside the ruins.
"It's over, it's finally over", Zelda said with relief. "I think it's about time we head back to Hyrule now, and leave this rubble behind."
"Link, I'm sorry I couldn't help you in the battle before," Navi said.
"Hey don't worry about it; you did what you had to. Besides that fight was personal, so I had to face it on my own that time", said Link. He turned to the princess, "I agree we should head back, we're…" Link was interrupted when a soft noise of rubble fell where the tower had collapsed. Link stopped and jumped in front of Zelda to protect her. "I don't think it's over just yet. You stay here, I'll check it out." Link ran over to the rubble when he heard a voice that he thought he would never hear again.
"Heh heh heh, foolish boy did you really think you could get rid of me so easy? You are truly naïve if you believe this is over. Now let me show you exactly how to use the Triforce piece." Ganondorf then shot out of the rubble, his Triforce of Power glowing brighter than it had before. He began to transform into a powerful incarnation. Link drew the Master Sword for the final battle, "Now boy let me show you what true power is."
The official final battle for Hyrule had begun, Link versus the evil tyrant Ganon. Link attacked first, but in the middle of his attack, Ganon blocked sending the Master Sword flying out of Link's hands. "NO! The Master Sword! How am I supposed to beat him now," Link said.
"Link! Lookout!" Navi cried as they ran for cover. Link ran toward the Master Sword. As he approached it firewalls rose from the ground shielding the sword from Link's reach.
"I don't think so boy. That sword is what won the battle before, I don't think you need that now", Ganon said.
Link stopped and turned around to face Ganon. He was approaching their direction now. Link could tell that Ganon was serious; he was truly out to kill this time. Link was forced to dodge a blow from the evil king. Barely making it, he turned to face the direction of the Master Sword trying to come up with a way of getting around its fiery prison. What! The sword, where did it go?
Zelda began to feel helpless as Link fought on his own against the King of Evil. She saw the sword imbedded in the ground not far from her position. She started for it. She didn't think it was possible for her to lift it and get it to Link; but what other choice had she? If she couldn't get the legendary blade to him, Link would die at Ganon's hand. She picked it up, amazing even herself. Zelda yelled at Link to get his attention. "Link here, the Master Sword, use it to defeat the Evil King." She lugged it over the wall of fire, using some of her power to enhance the strength of the blade.
Link caught sight of the sword as Zelda threw it over in his direction. He was surprised that she was able to haul it that distance; that was not a light weapon. The sword landed a few feet from his position, "she's got good aim." He said to himself. He ran for the sword, but first he had to distract Ganon so that he could have the chance to actually retrieve his weapon. Getting the courage to approach the beast, Link thought of the size of Ganon now. He was very big, and it would probably take him a while to about face, so why not make him try and follow him backward. He ran toward him, with Navi yelling at him asking what he was thinking. She must have thought he just lost his mind.
"Apparently this adventure has finally gotten to him." Navi couldn't seem to catch his attention.
It must've worked. Link went under Ganon's legs, not a pretty sight, he thought. After emerging from under the tyrant's legs Link booked it for the sword. Ganon attempted to turn around, but it took a while. In his new form he was slow and bulky, and his range of motion was obviously limited.
Link made his way to the Master Sword. He was able to grab it, as Ganon finally was able to face him, just as he had planned. "Ha it worked", Link exclaimed. He let Ganon come closer, just close enough that Link could once again confuse him more. "I guess being smaller is a good thing." As soon as Ganon was close enough, Link ran around the giant's body and struck him with the sword. There wasn't much of a reaction, but it was enough for him to prepare his bow.
Link drew an arrow and aimed for the center of Ganon's face, thinking it would be the best place to attack the tyrant. Before he could let fly an arrow, he noticed it begin to glow. He glanced toward Zelda, figuring that she was the only one with the power to make him stronger, or help him for that matter. He shrugged at fired. Bull's eye! The shot was right on. It caused Ganon to wobble a bit. He looked a little off balance. Thinking that it was his time to move, Link backed up a bit as the Evil King fell.
He hit the ground hard. As he came to his senses he looked forward, seeing only Zelda and Link. Ganon noticed that Link was holding the Master Sword up in front of him and watching it glow. Ganon opened his mouth to say something, but before he could get his mouth open he saw the blade of the Master Sword getting closer. "Ah sh…!"
Link impaled the sword into Ganon's face, finishing him off once and for all. He turned toward Zelda as she raised to hands calling on the six sages. A glowing yellow light surrounded what was left of Ganon and whisking him off into the Evil Realm.
The world was now safe from Ganon's evil rampage. Link and Zelda were cast into the Sacred Realm. "Thank you Link, because of you Hyrule is now safe from Ganondorf's evil for a time. You were great help, I'm sure you have a lot of lost time to catch up on. I'm afraid it's time to part now," Zelda said with tears in her eyes.
"What, you mean its goodbye, just like that?" Link responded.
"Yes, I'm sorry. You did what you had. I take full responsibility for the hardships you endured in these past seven years. This is the only way I can think of to repay you. Now I must return you to your time. As a sage I believe I have the power to do that. Please Link, the Ocarina of Time." Link handed over the ocarina. Zelda began playing it to return Link to his lost time. He was surrounded in a crystal-like shielding and lifted from the ground.
I'll see you again princess, I promise. He thought as he rose higher and higher above the princess.
"Goodbye Link. I won't forget you, Hero of Time." Link then disappeared back in time. As did all the rest of Hyrule, leaving Ganondorf sealed inside the Evil Realm. Link and Zelda's lives had started over, the right way. When Link laid the Master Sword to rest, he left the Temple of Time. Instead of returning home he started toward the castle. Link entered the courtyard where he and Zelda first met, and they looked into each other's face with surprise.
