Boldly thrusting open the doors, Link yelled, "Ganondorf!"

Briefly surveying the room, Link found it to be mostly a plain room, sealed off from the rest of creation and life. The room seemed to reek of the scent of decay, as seemed customary when dealing with Ganondorf. Only one thing in the room stood out to Link: his eternal foe playing an ominous melody upon his old organ.

Turning around, the King of Evil opened his eyes for a moment in surprise. Once he collected his thoughts, he venomously asked, "What are you doing here?"

Speaking authoritatively, Link responded, "I've come to make a proposition with you."

Angrily, Ganondorf told Link, "You know I could just kill you here. Why would I agree to whatever proposition that you have for me?"

Speaking firmly, Link responded, "Two reasons: first, I could just as easily kill you as you could kill me, and second, the proposition I have for you involves freeing you from this realm and getting you back into Hyrule."

Raising an eyebrow, Ganondorf somewhat more calmly asked, "And what exactly is this proposition that you have for me, Kid?"

"Well," Link began, "It seems that Zelda has yet again been kidnapped. I need your help in rescuing her from the being that imprisoned her this time."

"What do I care about your foolish little princess?" the desert man retorted.

Continuing with his plan, Link told him, "I think you'd care, simply because of whom it was that kidnapped her. I believe that you'd remember the one being that you feared, especially when you ruled over the land of Hyrule (before I awoke from my seven-year slumber). Well, that's who's responsible fore kidnapping Zelda; I know that you not only want to overthrow a beast like this, so why not take that chance, Ganondorf?"

"As much as it pains me to say, coupled with my hatred of you, I'll take you up on your proposal. As much as I loathe you and Zelda, I hate that man even more than either of you. I'll accompany you in order to take him down, but I warn you to stay out of my way. If we are to be allies, it will be on my terms, and once our mutual foe is defeated, all bets are off."

Relishing the adventure he knew was coming, Link somewhat slyly grinned and told his temporary partner, "I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, since I only heard little details from Zelda, can you tell me something about who this foe of ours is?"

"True enough, you should know who exactly you come to fight against. From the look on your face, I can tell that you have encountered him; he is indeed a powerful man whose presence alone is capable of mighty deeds of destruction. You know how powerful I was as Ganon; well, he's easily twice or three times as strong as I was then. I cannot say I know much about him, but I do know that he has been called The Fiend."

Pausing a moment to mull over the description, Link asked, "The Fiend, eh? I can definitely see where he gets that name, yet I think that we can take him down, given the right set of circumstances."

Still somewhat confused by Link's attitude, Ganondorf asked, "What makes you think that you can defeat The Fiend?"

"Frankly," Link spoke, "I don't know if it's just a hunch, but I think that since between the two of us, we have two thirds of the Triforce. And if two thirds aren't enough to defeat The Fiend, we can make it to Zelda, and then all three parts would be assembled."

Seriously, Ganondorf said, "I don't know whether or not your scheme to try and defeat The Fiend is enough, but I'll take that risk to leave this realm and set my feet back on the soil of Hyrule. Just remember that after The Fiend is defeated, we no longer have an alliance."

"I expected nothing less than that from you, Ganondorf. I'll take that risk."

Ushering the King of Evil forwards, Link had the man he had at one point wished to kill (whom he was in a relatively weak alliance with) lead him back to the area outside of the massive tower and back into the regular area of the Sacred Realm.

After giving Ganondorf a signal to remain quiet, Link called out in the direction of the sky, "Rauru, are you there?"

Link waited a short while in aggravated silence before he got his response. "Yes, Link. Yes I am," Rauru responded.

"Rauru, I've found Ganondorf. I need you to bring him and me back into Hyrule. Can you do that?"

Link heard the sigh from Rauru, who obviously must have still had his qualms about the scenario Link had in mind. Waiting a little longer, Rauru finally responded, "I'll do it, Link."

A bright light suddenly descended from the sky of the Sacred Realm, making itself present in the form of a portal. Ganondorf, closely followed by Link, stepped into the portal of light and found himself back in the land of Hyrule. Finding himself face to face with the Sage of Light (Rauru) Ganondorf again remembered when he was denied the entire Triforce.

Before any altercation could occur, Link stepped back into Hyrule and turned to the Gerudo that he had brought from the Sacred Realm. To avoid any altercation, said to Ganondorf, "Easy there. Remember, you're here to help defeat The Fiend, not try to take over Hyrule again."

With that, Ganondorf expressed a very forced smile as he turned away from Rauru and stepped out of the Temple of Time with Link right in front of him. The King of Evil breathed fresh Hylian air again and again remembered his attempts to rule over the land. He knew that he would have to hold those memories in check. Even if he did attempt to take over the land of Hyrule again, he knew that The Fiend would still remain at large.
