Link sat there for some time, just holding a limp, lifeless Zelda. He caressed her hair as he held her, on the great spiralling staircase in the sealed grounds. At the bottom, in the middle of the ring, a portal had opened, and Fi was talking to Groose, warning him about something or another. Link shouted down to him, "You still have a chance, Groose! If you are able to beat him in time, you can still save Zelda!"
Groose didn't even respond to his words, didn't even care about what was happening to Zelda. He was only in this for the glory, the attention that he would get for saving the world… he didn't care about Her. Zelda was the reason for all of this happening, how couldn't he see that! But no, as long as he got his meal in the Lumpy Pumpkin and the girls fawning over him all the time, he didn't even bother trying to save Zelda. Link was the one who cared about her… Why isn't he the chosen hero? He looked down at Zelda's, expressionless face and smiled. He walked up the mountains, slowly stroking her face as he was deep in thought.
