7/24 Update: Fixed who Majora declares the winner. How did I mess that up and have him say the wrong person as the victor?
A/N: *awkwardly* Hey guys. Hi. I know it's been awhile. Have I been busy? Sort of. Have I completely forgot about this? *puts on the Stone Mask* you can't see me
Virtual parfaits to Dog Child for the reviews. You have no idea how much those encourage me since this story hasn't gotten any new favorites/follows/reviews since your last review.
Dog Child (Guest): First of all, thank you for your reviews. Wait a second, did I already do that? You better believe that that was another reference. I'm trying to have at least one reference in every chapter. I'm kind of just making up different personalities for all the different Links, most of them being different aspects of my own personality, even though I don't swear. Ocean would be me a good amount of the time if I swore. I'm pretty sure Dark is like my snarky but passive side, possibly? Oldie is the innocent part of me, I guess. Youngling would be me if I went through a time paradox type thing like he did.
Anyway, who's ready for a fight between somebody and the same person? It'll probs be confusing, but that's the Zelda timeline. Speaking of Zelda timeline, where do you think BotW is in it? I have my own theories, but most of them either don't make sense or have some flaws in them. I wouldn't complain if you reviewed or PMed me saying your theories.
Oh and before I forget, I do not own the Legend of Zelda. If I did, I probs wouldn't have died as much as I did against Thunderblight Ganon. Dang, that fight was hard.
I kind of want to start another Fanfic, but that's probably a bad idea because of how rarely I update this one anyway. Also, my life is about to get a heck of a lot busier. But a new Zelda game in the form of Hamilton songs sounds good. I might do that, but would it be a crossover or just a Zelda fanfic?
But you don't want to hear about my life or ideas, you want to read this fanfic if you got this far bearing through a terrible first chapter and my very weird writing style, sense of humor, paranoia of everything, profanity filter for no reason, and author notes. SO, without further ado, the fight between the Hero of Time and the Hero of Time. As always, review telling me things I'm actually doing good, which there might be none of, and things that I'm doing that are actually crap. Oh, and tell me who you'd like to see in the next chapter by reviewing, or voting on the poll. Right now, it looks like I'll be doing Minish Cap and Spirit Tracks, so if you no like, vote. *gets shot for taking too long in the author note*
Chapter 3. Old Youngling (Published July 25th, 2017)
"Why does it feel like it took them forever to fight?" An observant Ocean asked.
"Why do you feel the need to break the Fourth Wall?" An Ocean-strangling Dark asked, while strangling the aforementioned Ocean.
"So do you have all the items I do?" Oldie asked himself, basically.
"I don't have a slingshot, boomerang, hammer, longshot, hover boots, or iron boots. But, I do have masks!" Youngling answered.
"You don't have the items I can only use as a kid?"
"Nope"
"That makes no sense"
"HURRY UP AND FIGHT! I WANT TO WATCH YOU SUFFER!" a very impatient Ganondorf said.
"Fine, fine." Link said, taking his time to draw his sword.
"TODAY, PLEASE!" Majora screeched.
"I think I got this," Oldie said to himself. Then, not to himself, he said to Youngling, "I will slay you, foul being!"
"Was I really this embarrassing as a kid?" Youngling said as he facepalmed.
"Apparently," Oldie said. Youngling facepalmed again.
Then both the Heroes of Time drew their swords and stared each other down, neither of them flinching from the other's gaze.
All of a sudden, Tatl said, "WAIT! I need to do something before you fight."
"Fine, make it quick."
She flew up to the magic box that the previous fighters were, more specifically right to where Ciela is. Tatl then asked a very serious question to Ciela. "Why do you look suspiciously like me?" Ciela shrugged, although only Tatl and Navi could see it.
"Ok, these jokes have gone on long eno-" Ocean was cut off by Dark choking him.
"Just fight already"
"If I kill him, what would happen?" Youngling asked nobody in particular.
"Nobody knows. I would recommend not killing your younger self," Dark said. "But you can still beat him up."
"Okie."
Youngling grabbed a mask that looked like a Deku Scrub's face.
"Whassthat?" A curious Oldie asked.
"You're right, why am I using my most useless transformation mask?" Youngling then grabbed a mask that looked a Goron.
"Whassthat?"
"You'll see," Youngling said with a grin. He put the mask on and started rolling toward Oldie.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!" Oldie screamed in terror as he ran for his life.
"Link, go slower!" Tatl said, trying to catch up to her companion.
The Goron Link stopped rolling and uncurled. "I'm sorry. Is this not your speed?" He went back to chasing Oldie
After 11 minutes, 32 seconds, 2 failed distractions, and one almost squashed fairy, Oldie decided that he had enough of running away. He got out his iron boots and tried to do the goat herding thing Dark does in Twilight Princess. He failed. He proceeded to run a little more, then decided he would do the same thing he did earlier, but this time put on the iron boots. It worked somehow!
"I wasn't expecting that to work. Were you Navi?"
"I'm not talking to you after you threw me at your older self!" The aforementioned almost squashed fairy and one of the failed distractions said, obviously angry.
"I'm sorry! Goddesses you sure are touchy lately." Oldie apologized. Navi growled in response.
"I've been thinking about my fighting and how I can improve it. Can I test something on you?" Youngling asked.
"Sure"
"It might hurt"
"Ok"
"A lot"
"Will it kill me?"
"I dunno, it's untested."
"Then maybe don't try it"
"I'm doing it anyway"
Youngling took off the Goron Mask and sheathed his sword and walked up to Oldie.
"The heck are you doing?"
Then Youngling did an early version of the Mortal Draw. It killed Oldie, but he had a fairy. Well, a fairy other than Navi.
"You freaking killed me!"
"But I'm here right now, so obviously you survive."
Then Dark had an epiphany. "THAT'S WHO YOU TWO REMIND ME OF!"
"Who do we remind you of?" Oldie asked. Youngling would've asked but he already knew the answer.
"I'm not telling. It's a spoiler for you two. And no you cannot convince me to tell you."
"Dangit."
"GET BACK TO FIGHTING OR I WILL MAKE REDEADS APPEAR!"
"Let's get back to fighting."
Oldie got into an intense sword fighting battle with Youngling. It was very clear that Youngling was more skilled, but Oldie had the height and strength advantage. Nobody could predict how this would end. Except maybe one of the various fortune teller type people. But other than that, nobody could tell how it would turn out. That is, until both of the heroes decided to change into their most powerful sword, Oldie using the Biggoron sword and Youngling using the Great Fairy's Sword. This time, it was very obvious Youngling would win, because he was more use to using a double handed sword, unlike Oldie who just got the Biggoron Sword. Youngling finally got through Oldie's defenses and did another move he was in progress of finishing. He moved around the floor of the arena in what seemed to be erratic movements, everytime getting near Oldie, who seemed to be the center if the movements, and stunning him more, until a giant Triforce symbol appeared on the ground, and glowed brighter until Youngling stopped and lifted his sword like he was offering it to the goddesses, which activated the spell and made the Triforce explode in a light blast. Oldie was knocked to the edge of the stadium. Youngling then started showering Oldie with fire and ice arrows until he ran out of magic. When that happened he hoookshotted over to where Oldie was, but wasn't prepared for the quick recovery of Oldie. Oldie smacked Youngling with the Megaton Hammer to stun him some, and then did a supercharged spin attack with the Biggoron Sword. Let's just say that Youngling didn't come out unscathed. They went back to their first intense sword battle, where it is evenly matched. This went on for some time.
"This is getting boring. How can I spice it up?" Majora asked his special guests for this fight.
"Giant moon falling down on them?" Skull Kid suggested.
"No, that would take three days, and nobody got time for that."
"Flood the are-" Skull Kid started, but was cut off.
"How about you flood the arena?" Ganondorf from the Ocarina of Time era suggested, totally not stealing the idea from anyone else.
"Great idea, Gan." Majora said as he flooded the arena.
"WHAT THE HECK? WATER!? THIS IS NOT FA_glub glub glub," an aggravated Oldie said.
Oldie put on his Zora Tunic and Iron Boots while Youngling put on his Zora Mask. Youngling swam around the whole arena with his magic barrier up, hitting Oldie with it ever so often until Oldie Longshotted Youngling and got some good hits on him until the same thing happened again. After the third time, Youngling ran out of magic again, so he went a safe distance back and hit Oldie with his boomerangs. It worked, until Oldie longshotted Youngling yet again and this time hit him hard enough to knock him out. The arena unflooded and Majora declared Oldie the victor.
"OLDIE IS OUR VICTOR!" Majora declared. Then under his breath he added, "My bracket is as good as dead now."
