Hey guys. Well I hope you're ready for another chapter of Ocarina of Time Redux. You know the drill I don't own jack shit so Miyamoto if you somehow come across this please for the love of God don't sue me!

The sun rose the next morning in Hyrule. Link and Solomon where sleeping as the sunlight began to show through their window. They were soon awakened by someone pounding on their door.

"Mr. Link! Mr. Solomon! Wake up!" Danzien shouted.

Link groaned as Solomon covered his ears with his pillow.

"No thank you! Sleeping!" Solomon shouted back.

"Hey you guys promised!" Danzien said.

"He's got us there Solomon. C'mon get up" Link said.

"Alright fine. But why so early?" Solomon said.

"He's probably just excited" Link said.

Link, Solomon and Danzien soon went set out to Hyrule field so they could teach Danzien their sword techniques. A few hours later and Danzien was doing very well. He even beat Solomon a few times in sparing sessions.

"Nice work rookie" Solomon said.

"Yeah. You're a natural" Link said.

"Thank you Mr. Link!" Danzien said.

"It's just Link. No need for the mister" Link said.

"Hey do you guys hear that?" Solomon asked.

They could hear a song being sung not too far from where they were.

"That sounds familiar" Link said.

"C'mon let's follow it" Solomon said.

All three of them followed the song into Lon Lon Ranch. They followed it until they reached the small pasture inside the ranch where they saw a red haired girl singing.

"It's that Malon girl from the other day" Solomon said.

She noticed the three boys and walked up to them.

"Hey it's the fairy boys! Welcome to Lon Lon Ranch" Malon said.

Danzien had a deep crimson blush on his face. Malon then directed her attention to him.

"Hey! I know you. You're the innkeeper's son. My dad delivers milk to your place all the time!" Malon said.

"I-uh-well…Hi" Danzien stuttered.

Malon giggled. "You're silly" she said to him. He just blushed even harder.

"That's a nice song that you sing" Link said.

"Yeah. My mother taught me it when I was little. Let's sing together!" Malon said.

"I've got a better idea. Link let's play" Solomon said as they pulled out their ocarinas.

"Oh wow!" Malon said as she began to sing while the two played along.

After they were done Link realized that one of the horses came up to him.

"That's Epona. She really loves music. She seems to like you" Malon said.

"Uh huh" Link said as he began to pet the horse.

"That's pretty cool huh? Hey!" Solomon said as he seemed to have a horse like him as well. It was a pure white horse.

"And that's Bandit." Malon said.

"H-hey there" Solomon said.

"Hey are any of you guys thirsty?" Malon asked.

"S-Sure" Danzien said.

Malon then brought over a jug of milk for all three of them to share.

"This is good stuff" Solomon said.

"Only best from Lon Lon Ranch" Malon said.

After spending the day hanging out the three boys decided to head back to Kakariko Village.

"Thanks for having us Malon" Link said.

"Yeah it was fun be we gotta head back now." Solomon said.

"Okay you guys take care" Malon said.

While the left the ranch and made their way back to Kakariko Village Solomon noticed that Danzien was still blushing.

"So Danzien, when were you gonna tell us that you had a thing for Malon?" Solomon said with a grin.

"W-what!? I don't know what you're talking about" Danzien said.

"C'mon you can't fool us Danzien" Solomon said.

"Alright! I like her okay? I admit it!" Danzien said.

"Cool so when are you gonna tell her?" Link said.

"I um- I don't know" Danzien said.

"You'll figure it out soon enough. We better get back to the inn. Link and I are going to Death Mountain tomorrow." Solomon said.

The next day Link and Solomon set off towards the Death Mountain summit but couldn't go any further because the gate was closed. They saw a guard near the gate and asked for assistance.

"I'm sorry boys but the road is closed beyond this point." The guard said.

"Please let us through. It's really important" Solomon said

"I'm sorry but there's nothing I can do" The guard said.

"Maybe this will help" Link said as he pulled out the letter Zelda had given him.

The guard read it and was astounded.

"Oh. Surely this is Princess Zelda's handwriting. Let's see what we have here" The guard said as he began to read the letter. He later laughed at what he had just read.

"What game has our Princess come up with now? Okay I get it. I'll let you two pass. Just be careful you little heroes" The guards said while opening the gate.

"By the way you two, if you're going to climb Death Mountain you might want to equip yourselves with better shields. It's an active volcano after all. If you go back to Hyrule Market you two should check out the Bazaar. They sell the shields you need. If you tell them I sent you, they should give you guys a special discount. If you think you're good to go then just climb up. Also I'd like to ask you two a favor" The guard spoke.

"What? A favor?" Solomon said.

"Now I don't expect you to do it, I'm just asking." The guard said.

"What is it?" Link asked.

"Have you two been to the Happy Mask Shop that just opened up in Hyrule Castle Town Market? Everyone is talking about it!" The guard asked.

"No we haven't but I have a feeling you're going to ask us to go there" Solomon said.

"You're a smart boy. You see my son has been begging me for one of those masks but I don't have time to go get it myself. If you could, can you two go get it next time you're at the market?" The guard asked.

"We'd be more than happy to get it for you" Link said with a smile.

"What?" Solomon said turning to Link.

"Solomon it's not that big of a deal" Link said.

"Okay fine we'll get the stupid mask" Solomon said.

"Really? Thank you both!" The guard said.

"C'mon Solomon. Looks like we're heading back to Castle Town." Link said.

After they arrived at Castle Town they bought two Hylian Shields and got the mask for the guard. They then made their way back to the mountain gate where the guard was.

"Here's the mask you wanted." Link said handing the mask back.

"Oh thank you! My boy will be very happy with this. How much do I owe you?" The guard asked.

"Fifteen rupees." Link said.

The guard handed Link the money.

"There you go. You two travel safe now" The guard said.

Solomon snickered a little. "Sucker" He said under his breath.

After climbing up the mountain trail after dodging many dangers. They finally arrived at Goron City.

"Wow. So people really do live up here" Solomon said.

"This is there the Goron Tribe lives" One Goron said to them.

"We need to speak with your leader Darunia. It's of the utmost importance" Link said.

"He's down there but be forewarned he's not in a very pleasant mood" The Goron said.

They made their way down to the main floor but couldn't open the door that led to Darunia.

"There has to be some way to open this stupid thing" Solomon said.

Then Link had an idea. He took out the ocarina Zelda had given him and played Zelda's Lullaby. The door suddenly opened.

"How did you know how to do that?" Solomon asked.

"I don't know. It just seemed like a good idea." Link said.

They walked into a room where a big Goron stood blocking the door.

"What the heck! When I heard the Song of the Royal Family I expected that their messenger had arrived but…you two are just little kids!" The Goron said.

"Well that's not a nice way to welcome guests" Solomon said.

"Solomon now's not the time" Link said.

"Have I, Darunia, leader of the Goron Tribe, really lost so much status to be treated like this by his Sworn Brother, the King? Now I'm really angry. Get out of my face now!" Darunia shouted.

"What's your problem" Solomon said.

"You really want to know why I'm in such a bad mood? Ancient creatures have infested the Dodongo's Cavern! We've had a poor harvest of our special crop Bomb Flowers! Starvation and hunger from the rock shortage!" Darunia said.

"You people eat rocks?" Link said.

"Precisely! But this is a Goron Problem! We don't need any help from strangers!" He said.

"What are we gonna do Link? He won't let us pass because he's too stubborn to admit that he's in need of help" Solomon said.

"I got it! You remember that song Saria taught us back at her secret place?" Link asked.

"Yeah why?" Solomon said.

"Take out your ocarina and play it. Maybe it'll lighten this guy's mood" Link said as he took his ocarina out.

Both he and Solomon played Saria's Song and soon Darunia was dancing around happily.

"What a hot beat! Just like that my depression is gone! Something just came over me. I just wanted to dance like crazy!" Darunia said.

"And that you did" Solomon said.

"Well I'm sorry about being so rude to you two before. As you know I'm Darunia, Leader of the Gorons. What can I help you with?" He said.

"Well we need the Spiritual Stone of Fire" Link said.

"What? You want it too? The Spiritual Stone of Fire, also known as the Goron's Ruby is our race's hidden treasure. But hold on I'm not going to give it to you that easily. If you want it that badly why don't you two go and destroy the monsters inside the Dodongo's Cavern and prove you two are real men." Darunia said.

"There's always a catch" Solomon said.

"That way if you do it, everyone will be happy again! If you do it I'll give you anything you want, even the Spiritual Stone! I have something for you. I'm not really giving this in return for anything but take it anyway. With this even a little guy like you can pick up Bomb Flowers" Darunia said as he gave Link the Goron's Bracelet.

The two of them soon made it to Dodongo's Cavern and went inside. After what seemed like hours they finally managed to make it to the end. They jumped down to it and landed in room with nothing in it.

"What the? There's nothing here" Solomon asked.

Just then a gigantic creature hopped down in front of them.

"You just had to open your mouth didn't you!" Link said.

The creature looked like the Dodongo's they faced earlier but this one was much bigger. It rushed the boys but they managed to dodge out of the way just in time.

"This guy's fast but he's not too bright" Link said.

"Well what do we have to do to beat it? There's no way our swords can cut through its skin" Solomon said.

"I've got it!" Link said as he pulled a bomb flower.

"Hey moron! Eat this!" Link said as he threw the bomb into the Dodongo's mouth.

The creature ate it and soon it was dead.

"All right!" the boys said while they high fived each other.

When the boys came out of the cavern Darunia greeted them.

"Well done you two! Once again we can eat the delicious rocks from Dodongo's Cavern. And it's all thanks to you two. What a wild adventure, it will make for a good story. I can't believe that Dodongos appeared in such great numbers. And that big rock blocking the cave, it must have been caused by the Gerudo theif Gannondorf." Darunia said.

"It was nothing Darunia" Link said.

"You two risked your lives for us. I like you two. How about we become Sworn Brothers? There's no big ceremony or anything so take this as a token of our friendship" Darunia said as he gave the Spiritual Stone of Fire to Link.

"Now that that's settled how about a big Goron hug!?" Darunia said.

"Uh-oh, Link run for it!" Solomon said as the two ran off while Darunia just laughed.
