CHAPTER 4: THE ZELDA OF LEGEND

Shulk and Ridley were making their way through the Lost Woods. "Gee, I sure am lost in these here woods" Ridley said. "I'll say! It feels like we've been through this clearing a million times now!" Shulk said. In truth, they had been lost in the woods for a whole ten days! "Do these woods just continue on and on forever?" Ridley asked. "No, they don't" a mysterious voice called out. "That wasn't me." Shulk said. Suddenly, an odd puppet-like figure emerged in front of them. It was the Skull Kid. "Hello, fairy boy!" the Skull Kid said.

"Who are you?" Shulk said.

"I'm just one of the kids of the woods! Hehehehehe!" Skull Kid answered.

"I know this forest very well, and I'll show you the exit if you let me look at your sword over there!"

Thus, Ridley handed him the sword. "Sucker! Heeheeheeheehee!" the Skull Kid said as he ran away with Ridley's sword. "Easy come, easy go, I guess." Ridley said. "Wait, you can fly" Shulk asked.

Ridley and Shulk soared out of the Lost Woods feeling like numbskulls. "How did we not think of that TEN DAYS EARLIER?!" Ridley screamed. "I guess we were too mentally occupied on being lost to really think of anything." Shulk tried to explain. Anyways, they were soaring over Hyrule Field when they saw Castle Town in the distance. "There's Hyrule Castle!" Shulk said, as they descended into the town to meet Link and Zelda.

However, their visit to the town didn't go too well. Ridley's appearance was met by cries of "AAAAAUUUUGH! MONSTER!" and "KILL IT!" There was also some guy who was talking about pie or something, but he was in the minority. Hyrule guards came in and starting shooting arrows at Ridley. Shulk had to scream at them about how Ridley is perfectly harmless even though he's really not. "Alright, fine. We won't kill him. But you BETTER stay away from Hyrule Castle."

Ridley and Shulk groaned really loud. "What are we gonna do NOW?" Ridley wondered. "Hmm, there must be some way inside without being caught." Shulk said. So they went to the Market District, where they saw a Hookshot for sale. They carefully examined the walls of Hyrule Castle, and saw some slots that a hookshot could fit in. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Ridley asked Shulk.

Meanwhile, in the throne room of Hyrule Castle, Zelda looked out at her kingdom. "Hyrule is at peace" she said. "Indeed, this peace is what all true warriors strive for!" the King of Hyrule said. "I wonder what this could mea-

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

Ridley violently crashed through the window and let out a mighty roar!

"hi" Ridley said to Zelda.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Zelda asked.

"We hate to crash the party, but we have some important information-"

Suddenly, Ridley was hit by a bunch of arrows. "Ouch, who's firing those things?" he asked.

IT WAS LINK!

"HAAAAH!" Link said.

"Oh good, you're here too" Ridley said.

"What IS that thing? Not even I know!" Navi said.

"If you'll let me explain, I'll, er, explain" Ridley said. "Look, Bowser is trying to ruin Smash Bros, and we need to get all the other smash bros to join the cause against him. You two are in Smash Bros. That's why we're here" Ridley said.

"…Oh, OK" Zelda said. "But why did you have to barge in screaming like a maniac and causing massive property damage?!"

"Because guards" Ridley said.

Zelda sighed. "Alright, we'll join your cause."

Link said "HAAAT!" in agreement.

Shulk walked in to the throne room, saying "Hi Link and Zelda, we're gonna need your he-"

"Already did it" Ridley said.

"Really? That was a piece of cake!" Shulk said.

"How did you get past all of the guards?" Ridley asked.

"Because I'm fabulous" Shulk said.

"Alright, 2 down! And many more to go…" Ridley said. "There's one more Smasher in Hyrule for us to find.

Zelda gasped. "Wait, you don't mean-"

"Ganondorf! I wonder what he's like."
