Note: Listen, all who will. Before I continue with this story, I find it only fair to warn you that my younger brother, who is insane, will be writing some fics that that will appear under my name. Like I said before, he is insane, so be cautious.
Chapter 2: Party Crashing
Link had just wandered into town a few minuets ago, and already, people were trying to get a look at the famous hero of time. Link never liked crowds, so he hurried as fast as he could to get into the inn for the night.

As soon as he walked through the door, he was greeted by everyone in the inn. After about a half an hour of shaking everyone's hands, Link finally got to his room. "Well, that was thirsty work." He said. "But I guess I had better get used to it. I will probably be doing that all day tomorrow at the banquet." Link chuckled to himself as he crawled into the bed and started dreaming sweet dreams.

Awhile away.

"Ssssire! We have made visual contact with Hyrule Field." Said a Stalfos knight.

"Exellent." Said Gannondorf as he watched his army shuffle along. "We keep marching until we reach the castle."

"But sir." Said the Stalfos knight, "wouldn't it be safer to make camp here for the night?" he asked.

Gannondorf stared straight into the eyeless sockets of the hapless Stalfos. He picked up his servant by his jaw case and asked "Are you questioning me?"

The Stalfos Fearfully looked into Ganondorf's cold, emotionless eyes and answered "Your servant dares not question you!"

Ganondorf did not put him down. Instead, he lifted the Stalfos higher off the ground. "Good. I am going to make sure that it stays that way."

Those were the last words the Stalfos ever heard before a giant energy blast enveloped him. Ganondorf simply lowered his hand and turned his head. All of his solders were staring at him in fear. "Let that be a lesson to the lot of you!" he shouted. "That is what will happen to any of you who question or displease me. Now, keep moving!"

Not wanting to endure the wrath of their leader, the army quickly doubled it's pace.

***

Link awoke early the next morning. Gazing out the window in his room, he saw that it was still only about 7:30. He decided to leave early and avoid the rush of people that were invited. He quickly got dressed, packed his belongings, and mounted Epona.

Not wishing to wake anyone this early in the morning, he told Epona to take her time. Link was eager to get to the castle and see Zelda again, but not if it meant that he would have to deal with complaints that he was disturbing the peace. He had gotten enough of them when he was a child to last him a lifetime.

About ten minuets later, Link arrived at the palace gates. The guards let him in without a hassle after he showed them the invitation he had received. Link chuckled. He remembered how many times he had to sneak past them to get into the castle grounds when he was younger.

Link strolled through the gardens, savoring the sweet smell of the cherry blossoms. Then, through the bushes, he spied Zelda. He watched her for a few minuets. She had grown over the past seven years. Link decided to let himself be known. He strolled into the small clearing that Zelda was in.

Zelda looked up from the flowers she had been smelling. She noticed Link and stood up. She smiled. "It has been quite a long time, hasn't it, Link?" she asked, her voice sweeter than first honey.

Link smiled and nodded. "I am sorry that I didn't visit, Zelda, But I have had quite a seven years." Zelda smiled knowingly. "Yes, your reputation preceeds you. You have become quite famous as the hero of time haven't you?"

Link looked up at her and said "you don't know the half of it."

Zelda giggled. "We should probably head inside." She said. "The other guests should be arriving very soon and I am sure that they are all very eager to meet you."

Link groaned. Like he hadn't already shaken enough hands in town.

***

Ganondorf looked out into the distance the castle was in plain view now.

"Soon." He said "Soon I will have my revenge on everyone who destroyed my legacy. Zelda, the sages, and that brat. Link."

***

It was now high noon and all the guests had arrived. Links morning had consisted of nothing but shaking hands, showing off the master sword, and retelling the tale of how he defeated Ganondorf and his more powerful form, Ganon.

Link was extreamly grateful when Zelda announced that it was time to eat. Immediately, the banquet hall was packed with people all come for the banquet.

Everyone was eating, drinking and being merry, when Link took this opportunity to sneak away upstairs. When he reached the hallway that lead to the balcony, he was surprised to see Zelda sitting on the couch halfway down the hallway.

She looked up and noticed Link.

"I guess we had the same idea." she said.

"Yes, it does get tiresome greeting all these guests after awhile." Link answered. "I've had to tell the tale of how I defeated Ganon I don't know how many times."

Zelda stood up and said "You know, it is nice out on the balcony. Why don't we go there and talk for awhile?"

"Okay." Link reddened a bit.

They both started to walk towards the balcony. Suddenly, there was a low rumbling coming from downstairs. They both ran to see what was going on.

When they reached the end of the stairs, Zelda asked what was going on. One of the guards told her that a small rumble was heard from outside the door.

All the guards stood poised to attack whatever it was that was coming. The door suddenly burst open.

Everyone stared in complete shock at who stood before them. "Hello again hero of time. It is nice to see you again." He chuckled.

Link simply stood there with the master sword in hand in shock. "It can't be!" he shouted. "Ganondorf!"

"I am back and better than ever!" Ganondorf said. He raised a hand then dropped it. Instantly, three Stalfos knights ran in from behind Ganondorf. The charged at Link.

Link shouted a challenge and leaped forward. "Go to hell, you boneheads!" He shouted as he effortlessly cut through the three Stalfos.

Ganondorf watched with mock interest. "It is nice to see that your skill hasn't wavered since our encounter seven years ago." He said.

"Well, lets just see how well you are after being stuck in the Sacred Realm for all that time!" Shouted Link. He lunged.

Ganondorf laughed and raised his hand. A dark energy ball flew at Link. Link had been waiting for this. He slashed downward, attempting to throw the blast back to whence it came. But the blast was unhindered as it crashed into the master sword. The force of the blast sent Link straight into a wall.

Ganondorf smirked as he said "As you can see, being trapped in that hellhole actually increased my power."

"D-damn you!" Link shouted. He got back into a fighting stance.

Ganondorf just smiled and said "If you want your precious Zelda to die, then feel free to attack me." As if to answer Link's puzzled expression, a Gibido stepped forward with Zelda in it's grasp.

"Link, please help me!" she shouted.

Ganondorf savored her cry for help. "I think I will take my revenge on you after I have the Trifoce of wisdom. It is time for me to take my leave." Ganondorf raised his hand and a blinding white flash enveloped everything. Link raised his hands to shield himself from the flash.

After he recovered from the effects of the flash he looked around. Ganondorf, his army, and Zelda were nowhere in sight. Link ran out into the grounds, hoping that he could catch Ganondorf before he could get away.

Seeing no one is sight, Link fell to his knees. He had let Zelda down. He tipped his sword onto the ground and vowed that he would not rest until Zelda was safe and he had defeated Ganondorf once and for all.
