Prologue: Sages, Now!
The evil, boar-like beast fell to his knees after the monster's unnatural reptilian tail was violently severed from his main, grotesque body. The detached ligament flopped around uselessly, the muscles receiving the last commands from the brain before its violent parting. Ganon dug one of his massive swords into the ground, using it as support for his weakening body that was rapidly losing its crimson fluid.
The emerald clad hero held his breath as Ganon huffed rank, dying gasps out of sheer exhaustion. But something as mortal as exhaustion was no match for the demon pig's desire to kill the young man and the princess.
Unnoticed to the young man, who was dubbed the name Link at birth, the magical flame barrier dosed. Before Link could consider his next move, a column of light assaulted the dark beast. Link and his fairy companion, Navi, spun around to find Princess Zelda, who was the source of that holy magic that kept the evil one at bay. She explained urgently to the hero that she was using her power to tie Ganon down, leaving the demon king vulnerable to Link.
Before Link could choke a syllable, the sacred Master Sword glowed reassuringly. The blond Hylian's eyes became saucers. The light that the Blade of Evil's Bane emitted seemed to speak to Link, telling him that the time was now. His flabbergasted gaze soon turned to determination, his eyebrows furrowed into that of righteous anger. The moment was ripe; this battle ends now.
Before Ganon could bring himself out of Zelda's hold, Link swung. The blade viciously slashed the beast's snout and blood flew from the impact. But Link was not done: Link had slashed again and again at the face of evil, until with a courageous battle cry he drove the Master Sword deep into Ganon's skull. At this moment the air became deathly still…
"Sages! NOW!"
A blinding light ensued from the princess, engulfing the trio into its light. The hero and princess were lifted to safety, while Ganon was swallowed into a vortex, a vortex that would serve as a hell for an evil, twisted being such as Ganondorf.
"YOU!"
"CURSE YOU, ZELDA! CURSE YOU, SAGES!"
The booming voice of hatred faltered, quivering with rage. "CURSE YOU… Link!"
Ganon felt his entire being being pulled into the void. "Someday, when this seal is broken… that is when I'll exterminate your descendants!" Soon the Gerudo King floated grudgingly away, but not before making one last observation. "… as long as the Triforce of Power is in my hand…!"
Peace. Hyrule was at last at peace… Link had accomplished his goal. The adventure took seven years of his life away from him, but was it was worth the price. All that mattered was the princess. She was safe. He was here with her, and he was ready to devote the rest of his life to serve her. Yet…
She blamed herself for all the events that have transpired, mainly focusing her guilt on Link's lost childhood. She believed that fate was cruel to Link, and she only thought it just that she would send him back…
Link wanted to plead against it, but it was no good. Zelda had a strong moral compass that he daresay worked against her at some times. But in the end Zelda was merely putting his needs before her own…
Link reluctantly handed the blue, polished ocarina to his princess. She brushed the instrument with her palm as she sandwiched her hands over his. Her eyes watered.
"When peace has returned to Hyrule… it will be time for us to say good-bye…"
Good-bye was a slap in the face; they had just reunited…
