Hey everyone! Welcome to chapter 2! I'm pretty excited because this chapter I feel is when the story actually starts. Also I think at the beginning of each chapter I want to do a flashback or something like that, like what I did in the beginning of chapter 1. What do you think, should I do that or just start the chapter? Well anyways, without further ado, here is chapter 2.

A/N: So I was reading this chapter and it kind of sucked so I rewrote some parts. Enjoy reading!

He ran forward, Master Sword in hand, stabbing Ganondorf in the stomach. When the sword came into contact with flesh, a gasp left Ganondorf's mouth. Then both Link and Zelda saw a vision of Zant, snapping his neck, taking the life out of Ganondorf's eyes, leaving them blank and white. A bent Ganondorf just knelt there, dead without moving, with the Master Sword in his stomach. Link goes over to Ganondorf and takes his sword with Ganondorf's blood on it. Wiping the blood on the grass, Link sees a figure far away. It's Midna, and he smiles.

~~~~~Link's POV (A day after Zelda's POV)~~~~~

I woke up. It was that same dream, or reliving of Ganondorf's death. Even after 5 months I can't get the image of Zant's neck snapping and Ganondorf's eyes going white, it creeps me out. But seeing Midna afterwards, that was surprisingly a pleasant sight, after having to witness that. I mean, I used to hate her because she ordered me around. But as my quest contiued I realized that I had misjudged her and that though at first her intentions weren't the best, she actually helped me a lot. She was my only friend during this quest that I basically had to do alone.

Sitting up from my old, familiar bed, I looked around my house. Its familiar sight always made me happy, as when I was on my quest I usually slept under a tree on the ground. It wasn't the most comfortable choice, but it worked. When I was helping with the reconstruction of the castle for Princess Zelda, I got to live at the castle temporarily. To be honest, the beds were comfortable, the food was great, the staff was kind, but I had to wear all of this fancy attire when not reconstructing. It was nice clothes, really but it was too fancy and uncomfortable. And with the way some of the nobles looked at me, you'd think that I was wearing the clothes wrong or something, and it was just weird and awkward to feel and see them looking at me, as if they were assessing me. But overall castle life was nice, but only for a while, even though the Princess, I mean Zelda, was nice to me. As soon as I came home, Collin had asked me if I had kissed the princess, I mean Zelda, but I had responded with the truth: the only kissing I had done was on her hand. She really is a nice person, but sadly some people think of her as an ice queen or princess as she is always locked up in her study writing out new laws and reading her huge history books. Tons of books that I didn't know existed or was that thick!

I look at my clock in my small kitchen. I'm running late for work! Fado will kill me if I'm late again! Putting on some clothes, I quickly eat some food and run out of my house, climb down the ladder and started running toward my job.

"Late again Link?" Rusl yelled at me.

"Yeah, I'd love to talk Rusl, but as you can see, I'm running late and I don't want Fado to kill me so bye!" I yell back over my shoulder.

I turn around to see Rusl shaking his head at me. I shrug my shoulder at him and keep running. Many more people greet me along the way, but I respond with a quick greeting and continue running. Finally I arrive and Fado is waiting for me.

"Late again Link" Fado says, shaking his head.

"Sorry sir, my alarm clock is broken and I woke up late" I lie.

"Your ladder was broken, the mayor was speaking with you, Rusl was speaking to you, your small friends were speaking to you, and now your alarm clock?" Fado yells.

I cringe, because these were all past lies that I had told Fado. "But sir I-"

"No buts. I gave you many chances to actually make his work but you obviously don't care" he interrupts.

"One more chance, please" I beg.

"I already gave you one more chance, five to be exact" Fado retorts.

I had forgotten about that. "This time I promise I'll be on time"

"You said that last time, and the time before that, and the time before that. I can't trust you Link"

"Fado, I care about this job. Please I'll come to work earlier than normal, one hour earlier!"

"You sound desperate. Maybe you should've thought of that before you decided to come to work late. Get out of our ranch, you're out of a job" Fado says.

I'm in shock. I just got fired! I totally didn't sound desperate! Wait, our ranch? "Who is 'our' in your ranch?" I ask.

"I didn't say our ranch. What are you talking about?" The sound of tree branches breaking is heard. "Now get out of my ranch!" Fado shouts. He sounds worried. He shifts from one foot to the other. "Get out! Now!" His voice wavers.

"Fado are you sure you're alright?" I ask, slowly stepping toward him.

"Y-yes, I-I'm fine. Get out of our ranch, n-n-now. GET OUT! NOW!" Fado keeps yelling. He looks around, as if he were trying to find someone.

I walk closer to him. He's shaking uncontrollably now. His eyes are glancing everywhere around him. Then his eyes widen with realization. "He's here!" He shouts, then a diamond shaped purple and yellow arrow strikes his heart. He instantly dies.

I catch his body as it falls to the grass. I then pull out my sword that I always carry with me, looking around for who shot the arrow, as I could be next. I turn my head, looking around the ranch. No one is there. Suddenly I hear a sound to my left and I turn, but no one is there. I feel a presence around me so I turn, but all I see is someone or something disappearing in a yellow and purple diamond. Seeing that no one else was here, I sit down next to Fado. I take out the arrow out of his heart and examine it. There is no marking or signature of any kind on it. I put it in my pocket, maybe someone knows what it is.

"Rusl help!" I yell loudly in hopes that he'll hear me. He doesn't come. Then I hear footsteps toward me, I quickly turn around, it's Rusl.

"What happened?" He asks.

"Someone shot and killed Fado" I reply. "Can you stay here and guard Fado's body while I go get Mayor Bo?"

"Of course Link, hurry up now" Rusl says.

I get up and run to Mayor Bo's house. When I reach his house I nervously knock the door, Ilia lives here. She's liked me since forever and I just don't have the heart to tell her that I don't feel the same way about her. I groan as Ilia answers the door

"Hi Link! So you finally come to take me out on a date! You should've told me earlier so I could've gotten ready before you came!" She says in one breath.

"Um Ilia I've come to see your father, not you. And it's urgent so can I please speak to him?"

"Oh my goddesses! You're going to ask him if I can marry you? I say yes!"

"Uh Ilia I'm not asking you to marry me, Fado's been murdered and I need to speak to your father now" I say with all seriousness in my voice.

"Oh my goddesses! Poor Fado! Fine I'll get my father, but you can still ask him" she says, winking at me.

I sigh, finally she left. I hope Rusl won't be too mad at me for taking forever. Woah, I am always late. Shoot, now I realize that Fado did have a valid reason to fire me. Then finally Mayor Bo comes out.

"What's this Ilia tells me about Fado being murdered?" Bo asks.

"I was just entering the ranch and suddenly someone shot him" I reply.

"Well then let's go to investigate"

We arrived at Fado's ranch but something felt off. I see Rusl on the ground, but Fado's body is gone. We run over to Rusl. "Is he dead?" Bo asks.

I walk over and kneel down beside Rusl's body. I feel for a pulse and thankfully I found one. I shake Rusl awake and he wakes up startled.

"Where's Fado?"

"I don't know Rusl. I got the Mayor, then we got here and you were on the ground and Fado's body was gone. What happened?" I said.

"Ah yes, I think I remember. After you left Link, I was looking over Fado's body like you asked me to when I was struck from behind by someone. The last thing I remember before blacking out was a man chuckling at taking Fado's body and then I saw a purple-"

"And yellow diamond?" I interrupted, staring off into the distance. This was not good.

"Yes" Rusl said, shocked. "How did you know?"

"Because that's the same man who killed Fado"

Okay... so i may or may not have lied when I said that the scene when Link rides off with Epona happened in this chapter. Originally I was going to have it this way but then i realized that Link really had no valid reason for leaving Ordon so NEXT chapter Link will leave Ordon, kay? I promise. And I also think that next chapter I'll have both of their POV's just cause I can. Oh yeah and remember to tell me what you think about the flashback in each chapter and I'll see ya in the next chapter.
