Light Revealed


"Shoot them all"

Turner was heading to the door, certain that he had once again successfully postponed Ganons rise to ultimate power.

He was wrong. He had grown complacent over the last few years and didn't realize, until it was too late, that the Bearer he was killing now was not an infant.

He turned to see his men open fire.

Then a blinding flash of light filled the old church.


"Master, I've detected the emergence of a magical anomaly. It may be the Wisdom Bearer."

Link stopped in his tracks. He was still about one hundred yards below the ground. He'd have to go through three layers of winding, interconnected tunnels in order to reach the surface. And there would be guards stationed this close to the surface.

He had to hurry.

He ran recklessly as Fi described the location of the Anomaly as an old church. Not paying attention, Link was nearly cut down by a Knight – a cybernetic monstrosity that stood a full nine meters, was covered in Steel, and had blades for hands.

Link rolled under the Knights horizontal strike and pulled the Shield off his back.

"I really don't have time for this." He groaned as he drew his sword.

"Citizen," the Knight intoned, "You are outside of your designated habitat. You have been judged-"

The Knight was stopped mid sentence when Links Sword flew into its face – pointy end first.

"Yeah whatever." Link mocked as he leapt up and yanked the sword out of the Knights head.

"Master, there are two more Knights approaching from the south." Fi warned.

"Which way's south?" Link asked.

"Behind you." Fi answered.

Link turned around and raised his shield, but quickly realized he was facing a wall.

"Fi, I think you're-"

Links mockery was cut short as a blade burst through the tunnel wall and struck his shield, pushing Link to the ground.

"I suggest evasion." Fi exclaimed.

Link rolled his eyes as he got back up. The Knight was tearing through the rest of the wall as Link pulled an EMP grenade from his belt pouch.

Link primed the device and dropped it as he ran west.

The Knights finally broke through the wall and began to run after Link. They only made it about ten meters before the grenade activated and an electromagnetic pulse fried their circuits. The Knights shuddered and fell over, lifeless.

"What's the fastest way out of here?" Link asked Fi.

"Turn North, West, South, then West." She answered, "you should then arrive at a shaft that leads directly to the surface."

"Great." Link said as he continued to run.

"However, the shaft will be guarded by Drones." Fi warned.

"Great…" Link groaned. He sheathed his sword and pulled out his Offensive Retractable Grappling Hook.

Link ran up to the final corner and held his shield out in front of him. Two hovering drones were waiting for him and immediately opened fire.

A hail of twenty-two caliber bullets pinged off of Links Shield as he slowly walked forward.

The bullets ricocheted and the first drone was struck, malfunctioned, and fell.

The second drone adjusted its aiming algorithms so that the bullets ricocheted in a safe direction.

Link could feel the shift in pressure and saw this as his opportunity. He stuck the grappling hook out of the safe side of the shield and pulled the trigger. Pressurized gas sent a metal spike flying toward the drone. It struck and Link released the trigger to retract the metal chord. Link began to slide toward the drone as it fought against the pull.

Link released the Device entirely, sending the hard metal handle flying toward the drone. The collision crushed the drone's frame and it was no longer able to fly.

Link approached carefully as the drone fired its weapon randomly.

Pulling his sword, Link stabbed the downed enemy. He then untangled his Grappling hook from the metal mess and looked up the shaft that led to the surface.

"So much fun." Link lied.


Turner awoke to find his flesh charred and his soldiers gone.

Amidst the group of huddling peasants, the young girl named Zelda was hovering in an orb of light. Her eyes were like flames.

Turner was too horribly mangled to do anything. He was ready to pass out, knowing that Ganons skyfortresses would have detected the surge of energy at this location. Knights would be dispatched, and Ganondorf himself would descend from his tower to take the Power that resided in this little girl.

But would the Dark Lord bother with him? The thought pushed Turner to stay conscious. He could not trust that Ganondorf would revive him, so Turner would have to do something to heal himself.

Turner fought through the pain of movement to reach for his side. He forced his lips and throat to push out an incantation. He was then transported instantly to another location.


Link had made his way to the surface and was unsure if he could face another wave of Ganons men out in the open. He knew, however, that he had to reach the location Fi spoke of.

He placed his hand on the sewer cover and braced himself for another fight.

But what he found were the corpses of Knights. He looked around and spotted the old church.

Link walked in that direction and found more Knights. Their cybernetic bodies had been cut in such a clean manner that Link had to ask Fi what could have done this.

"I am uncertain." Fi replied.

Link had never known Fi to be without some kind of answer, and this alarmed him. Sure, it was great that these things weren't trying to kill him, but what kind of monster could slice through a Knight like a sword through paper?

As Link approached the front door of the church, he found it ajar and figured he'd have his answer soon.

Link steadied his shield and used it to push the door open.

The interior walls of the building were blackened. Human corpses littered the ground, cut with the same precision as the Knights. A girl was crying.

Link saw a human sized cloaked figure carrying a struggling blonde girl.

"Hey!" Link shouted.

The figure turned to reveal a person covered in bandaging from head to toe. Though the outfit hid a lot of features, including one eye, Link could tell the person was female.

The woman swung a Katana in Links direction and an arcing beam of energy sped toward him. Link crouched and covered himself with his shield. The energy struck his shield hard.

Link peered over the shield to see the figures one visible eye wide with shock.

"I have determined that that blade was what caused the damage to the Knights outside." Fi stated uselessly.

Link ignored Fi and addressed the cloaked woman. "Can we talk?" He asked.

In answer, the woman threw something against the ground and a blinding flash filled the room.

"Where is she!?" Link asked of Fi.

"She has leapt several meters into the air and is escaping through a hole in the roof." Fi replied.

Link looked up and saw that Fi was not wrong.

"How could she jump like that?" Link thought.

Before he could ask, she was gone.

Link looked around at the corpses, then remembered what he had come here for.

"Fi," Link began "was that little blonde girl the Bearer?"

"There is a ninety-eight percent probability that that is correct." Fi replied.

"And the other two percent?" Link asked as he walked out the front door.

"The cloaked woman may have been the bearer," Fi began "but it is unlikely considering her age."

"So either way," Link sighed as he looked up at the approaching SkyFortress "I messed up."

"Do not take a defeatist stand point on this, Master." Fi said, "At the very least, we know that Ganon has not gained any ground here."

Link looked out toward Ganons tower in the distance in dismay.

"Well, we better leave before we get captured."


Turner lay broken in his lair, deep beneath Ganons tower. His burnt body was slowly healing and it hurt everywhere.

He had set up a transport system that would send him to this location if he ever ran into the kind of trouble he ran into today – the kind that almost kills a person.

Here, Turner could lie in a pool of mystical fluid that would heal him.

It would take days for the process to be finished.

But, Turner knew Ganon would be here in a matter of hours.


Ganon stared at the video his Skyfortress had transmitted. A flash of light in an old church that Turner had arrived at, his Knights cut down with an ease that seemed impossible, and then…him.

"So you've finally shown yourself, boy." Ganon cackled.

"All the Pieces are finally present."
