The Legend of Zelda: New Friend, Old Foe
Chapter 4: The First Puzzle Piece
Link entered the Forest Temple and looked around confused. "Strange, this is different that the last time I was here. I wonder what happened."
Just than Diraku appeared behind him. "All of the temples where changed by my former master in order to prevent you from acquiring their treasures. The beast guarding this temple is very dangerous, but it can be defeated. I'll go ahead and see what I can learn about it." Diraku disappeared and Link began searching the temple.
Link fought his way through halls, mazes, and illusions until he got to a small round room. When he entered the room the door locked behind him and a giant deku baba grew in front of him. The deku baba opened its mouth and shot a green liquid at Link. The liquid landed by Link's feet and started eating through the floor. Link started running around the room trying to get behind the deku baba, but it followed him with its eyes. Finally Link pulled out his bow and shot an arrow in to each eye of the deku baba. The deku baba became enraged and started randomly biting. It was able to get a hold of Link, chew on him for a few seconds, and spit him out on to the floor. Link put his bow away and limped over to the deku baba, holding his left shoulder. When he was sure that the deku baba wouldn't be able to safely bite him again he used Din's fire, which was able to kill the deku baba. The deku baba disintegrated and a large treasure chest appeared in the middle of the room. He opened it to find a large golden key and a pair of silver gauntlets.
Link continued through the temple until he came to a big door with a gold lock and chains. Diraku dropped down from the ceiling and walked up to Link. "O.k. this guy is called Gretamas, he's a shape shifter and he's very dangerous. He is weak to fire, but only in his original form. When he changes forms it only takes one strong hit to change him back. I'm sorry I cannot help you more right now but I must go ahead and find the next disturbance. Good-bye for now Link."
Link unlocked the door and went inside, Gretamas was standing in the middle of the room staring at Link and drooling. Vines hung from the ceiling and thorns stuck out of the walls. Gretamas started swinging from the vines, each time he went to a new vine he got higher off the floor. When he reached the top he let go of the vine he was on in an attempt to fall on Link. Link quickly shot a fire arrow up at Gretamas and moved out of the way. When Gretamas landed he pulled the arrow out of his chest and changed into a dodongo. Link dodged the streams of fire that Gretamas was spiting at him, circled around behind him and slashed his tail with Diraku's sword. Gretamas changed back to normal and bit Link's right arm. Instead of trying to shake him off Link sliced his head off and used Din's fire to burn the body. (I know that was a short fight, but the first boss is always easy.) A heart piece and a portal appeared in front of Link. He grabbed the heart piece and walked into the portal.
Link went back to the Temple of Time and used the silver gauntlets to dig his way down to the Master Sword. When he finally uncovered the sword he picked it up and sheathed it. When he turned around to leave he saw the cloaked man that Diraku was talking about. "So it is true you are back, and just in time to try to rescue the princess. Of coarse that traitor Diraku told you that you cannot get to her without solving the three-piece puzzle, which is why I cannot allow you to have the Master Sword."
"Well I didn't know that the Master Sword was a piece of the puzzle, but now that I know I don't think I want to give it up." Link shot a light arrow at the man and the man fell to his knees.
"Fool, consider yourself lucky that I don't have every thing I need to gain ultimate power." The man disappeared and Link left the temple.
Outside Link found Diraku waiting for him. "Well it seams that the next place you need to visit is the Fire Temple, I'll give you more information when we get there. Now we must hurry."
Thing just keep getting interesting. What evil awaits Link at the Fire Temple? Where are the other puzzle pieces? Only time will tell, so wait and see what happens in chapter 5
