Link sat beside the frame of the Mirror of Twilight. He was wearing his Ordon clothes again.
It had been two years since he saved Hyrule. Though he was almost positive Ganondorf was dead, especially after watching his eys roll back, his eyelids close, and his head fall upon his upper chest, he was almost starting to doubt his sanity for thinking the dark lord was still alive.
"Whoooooa!"
Link whirled around and was knocked over as Midna, in her imp form, slammed into him!
"Midna?"
"Ganondorf!" she gasped breathlessly.
"He's still alive?"
She nodded, and Link stood up.
"Come on, we've got to warn Zelda!"
"He's already at Hyrule Castle. He contacted me to tell me he was alive and sent me here like this."
Midna warped them to Castle Town, and Link ran into the castle throne room.
"So that's what you normally wear?"
"I had a feeling you weren't dead, and I was about to start to doubt my sanity."
BOOM!
The deafening explosion threw the hero, dark lord, and both princesses to the floor!
A man wearing all black was levitating not far from them!
"Who are you?" all four asked at the same time.
"A being far more powerful than any of you know, even you, Ganon."
All four gasped at the same time.
"How do you know my name?"
"All those who seek to rule in evil know your name."
Link, Midna, and Zelda looked at Ganondorf, who, just as confused as them, shrugged.
Then the being disappeared.
"Okay, how do we stop someone that powerful without dying?"
"You don't."
They looked at Ganondorf again.
"Not alone at least. You need someone who understands evil, evil magic, and the motives of someone like that."
Link, Midna, and Zelda smiled at each other and looked at Ganondorf.
"I'm not sure I like the way you're looking at me."
"You of all people should understand someone like that." Link said.
"Besides, you're really the only one who understands evil."
"I need to learn to keep my mouth shut with something like this."
"Will you help us?"
"What's in it for me?"
"How about you might live?"
"You? Kill me?"
"No. But he probably can."
Ganondorf pondered that for a moment then sighed.
"Fine."
A few minutes later Link and Ganondorf were galloping through Hyrule Field towards Ordon.
"I need to tell the mayor I'll be leaving for while, though I'm not sure how long so I don't get yelled at."
Ganondorf rolled his eyes. He waited below Link's house as the he changed back into his hero clothes and got everything from his adventure.
Link came back out, and Ganondorf followed into to town.
Colin was the first person to see them and yelled to everyone that Link was back.
Link started to tell the mayor when he heard Ganondorf shout angrily, "Hey, you little thief! Come back here!"
He turned to see Talo with Gandorf's sword, running from the dark lord!
"Stop, you little runt!"
Talo merely turned his head and razzed Ganondorf!
"That's it!"
A glowing orb appeared in Ganondrof's hand!
"Ganondorf, no! Don't!" Link yelled.
He jumped forward and shoved Ganondorf's hand up so the orb merely shot up in the sky.
"If you hurt anyone here I will removed your head from your shoulders." Link hissed.
"You wouldn't."
Link slammed the hilt of the Master Sword, which he had gotten before they went to Ordon so he wouldn't have to go back for it, against Ganondrof's glowing wound as hard as he could!
Ganondrof groaned and backed a couple steps, clutching his chest.
"Don't underestimate me."
Soon they were on their way. Once out in Hyrule Field, Midna came out of Link's shadow.
"Where do we look for this guy anyway?"
She and Link looked at Ganondorf.
"The ancient ruins in the Gerudo Desert."
"What ruins?"
"You'll see."
They warped to the desert, and Ganondorf led them farther than they'd ever gone.
