AUTHOR'S NOTE: There is a shout out to my first reviewer for this story, Insane certifiably, in this chapter. That is all.
…
The first thing Link did was track down Epona. He ended up finding her in Kakariko Village. It made sense that she would have run there; she had gotten so used to being there.
He climbed onto Epona's back and they traveled out of the small village back to Hyrule Field.
Look in the place where you would least expect something of Twilight to be.
He couldn't really think of any particular place, so he just decided to start looking at Ordon. It felt good to be home for the first time in probably about a year, that he forgot he was looking for something and just started riding Epona around through the village. He went up the hill to the barn and said hello to the goats. He remembered herding him the day he was sucked into the Twilight Realm for the first time. And thinking that reminded him of something.
"Midna!" He called the strange Twilight creature who had been hiding in his shadow.
"What is it now?" Midna responded angrily.
"I was wondering if you might have any idea where the Twilight Sword would be. My dad said that I should 'look in the place where you would least expect something of Twilight to be.'"
"Well, that's an easy one!" Midna teased. "Obviously, someplace that has to do with light."
"Yeah, got that."
"Well, sorry, but you're gonna have to figure the rest out on your own! If you can't, well then, I guess I was right about you when I first met you."
"What?"
"That you ARE completely stupid," she finished before disappearing again.
"MIDNA!" Link exclaimed. "Oh well."
So he started thinking. And thinking. And thinking. And then he realized he wasn't standing near a chair after he plopped down on the ground, thinking he was going to land on a chair. And after he got up, he got an idea.
"Light. Some PLACE. PLACE sounds like Palace. Palace could be another word for temple. Light Temple. TEMPLE OF LIGHT!" Link marveled at how he figured this out in a completely ridiculous manner that made no sense. "I remember hearing about that place when I was a kid! And I'm talking to myself! And I'm still doing it!"
Link then heard Midna giggle, and he figured out why. Yippee! He figured out that it was in the Temple of Light. But where is the Temple? he wondered. He strained to remember the story about the Temple of Light, for it was but one of the legends of which people had spoken back then.
Once, there was a young boy who stumbled across this old building on his way home from school. It reminded him of an old church. He was the curious type, so naturally, he went in.
As soon as he stepped through the giant archway at the front of the old building, he was blinded by an incredible light. He kept walking, but he didn't realize that. Eventually, he got out of the light and saw a heavily armored knight with a long, sharp sword. It was next to a genie, floating in a cloud of thin, wispy, purple smoke. And that was next to a young boy.
"Do you have the power…" the knight started.
"…wisdom…" the genie continued.
"…and courage…" the boy went on.
"…to pass all three of us and exit this room alive?" the knight finished as a wall appeared in front of the archway.
The boy this story is about kind of mixed up his words, so nothing really came out. The three beings stepped towards him and the main boy screamed.
"Then you shall be trapped here forever!" the genie exclaimed.
"No!" the main boy screamed and started to run around the three beings, dodging sword lunges from the knight, spells from the genie, and punches from the boy. He finally got to the other end of the room and through the door. He was looking behind him, so he could not see the sword in front of him. That is why he ran directly into it.
"Huh?" the boy said. But before he could grab it, he was grabbed by the knight and dragged into a room beyond the sword room, which he stayed in forever, never getting any older, never eating any food, but never feeling hungry. The room was some sort of magical thing, and so he couldn't really feel anything. Anything except loneliness.
"Now where was that on the outside?" Link asked himself. He struggled to think. And then he realized that it WAS in Ordon. In fact, he looked to his left and saw it.
"That was convenient," Link thought. Wait, if I was thinking that, then how did I hear it like it was a voice?, Link thought. "Because I said it." Midna appeared in front of the hero.
"That's why I would have been completely stupid. It was right there!" Link realized.
"Yeah, let's just go in."
"Okay."
