~Hi-hi, and welcome to the first edition of "Zelda Christmas Carols." So...enjoy!
BTW- These songs ARE parodied, but I mean no offense to anyone, or the songs. I love these songs! So, please don't flame me if you're offended for some reason.~
Link read from the huge list in his hand. "Zelda, Malon, Ruto, Saria, Nabooru, Impa...Epona? Ummm...What is this, Santa's naughty list?" He asked.
Ganondorf shrugged and crossed his arms. "Beats me. Does the list have a title or something?" He leaned over to see the list. After a moment, he pointed to a spot on the paper. "Are you blind, or stupid, Link? It says..."
Link paled. "The Annual Hylian Carolling Contest? But...out of all these girls, only Malon can sing, and Epona...she's a horse!"
"That's not very nice." Ganondorf snorted. "You have awful manners for the Hero of Time."
"No, I mean, literally. She's a horse." A neigh in the distance confirmed Link's statement. "And we have to judge this thing?"
Ganondorf shrugged again. "I guess so. How bad can it be?"
"Very, very bad." Was the answer.
A few moments later, Princess Zelda of Hyrule was standing on the stage. She played with her hair nervously. "Oh, Goddesses. Why did I sign up? Why?" She looked at Link. "Link, help me!"
Link, of course, had earplugs in by now, and didn't hear her. He waved back to Ganondorf, who started the music...
Zelda's eyes went huge, and she quickly blurted out, "I'm singing 'What Child Is This?'"
Link shrugged. "No kid in here, Zel. Just start." He reached into his pocket and put on a pair of reading glasses, then squinted down at Zelda's scoresheet, pencil ready to start writing.
Zelda took a deep breath, and began:
"What child is this
Who, laid to rest
On Mary's lamb is sleeping?
Whom angels sweet with anthems greet,
While shepherd watches are ticking?
This, this, is Christ the King
Whom angels guard and shepherds sing
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary
Why lies He in such lean a fate?
Where ox and lamp are reading?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading
This, this, is Christ the King
Whom angels guard and shepherds sing
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary
So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh,
Come, peasant king to own Him;
The King of things salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
This, this, is Christ the King
Whom angels guard and shepherds sing
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.
This, this, is Christ the King
Whom angels guard and shepherds sing
This, this is Christ the King,
The Babe, the Son of Mary!"
The last note was so high-pitched that the reading glasses Link was wearing suddenly shattered. He let out a yelp of surprise and leapt up. Onstage, Zelda was blushing a bright crimson, and Ganondorf, in the background, fell out of his seat, laughing, despite his temporary deafness.
