Chapter 6: An Even Bigger Issue!!

"Damn that horrible no good piece of holy mother f-" Zelda swore.

"Zelda!! Your language! Watch it, Missy!" Navi scolded, flying around the now 17 year-old teen, who sat moping on the floor.

"I can't fit in my dress anymore..." Zelda mumbled, holding the dress in front of her.

"Zelda, did you notice we're no longer at the temple of time?" Navi decided to change the subject. Just as the small fairy suspected, Zelda also noticed that they were at the entrance of a strange temple. Almost everything standing in front of them was covered from head-to-toe in vines. She spun her head around every few minutes, checking to see any monsters. She suddenly grew alarmed at two wolf-like creatures attacking a weak knight on the floor. She kicked them hard as the pair fell down the stairs. She smirked playfully, brushing her hands on her green-colored clothing. (Just so you know, they look a lot like Saria's)

"Thank you for saving me, miss," the wounded knight grunted, shifting into another position. Zelda simply nodded, as Navi flew silently around her head.

"Why are you hurt here?" Zelda asked kindly. "Has a monster attacked you?"

"Yes. I am one of the knights out of 20 that were kept hostage in this temple. Our leader left to fight the phantom that plagued this area. All of my comrades are lost. Please find them, and save my leader. He is most important. If he was reported to the King dead, he would have any survivors executed. Please help us."

"What's so important of the leader? A friend of my father?" Zelda asked. not having an inkling of who this man was talking about.

"No. He's the youngest of us all. He's only 17." he replied softly, fear filling his voice. (Guess who?)

"Seventeen?! Are you kidding me?!" Navi fumed. "The King is crazy!"

"All right. We know he's crazy. Let's go, Navi," Zelda said, locking her fairy into a bottle to calm down. She then picked up the bow next to the man and took off.

Zelda spent the next two hours murdering monsters, solving puzzles, and saving knights.

She was almost to the last knight when she was stopped abruptly by an enormous Skulltula.

"EEEEEEK!!" She screamed out loud. As suddenly as she started, courage gave the teen adrenaline to pull out an arrow and shoot the large spider off of it's vine-like web. It vanished in flames,
and she picked up the rupee that was treasured inside it. A knight stood up from a corner and approached Zelda.

"Thank you miss. I'm sure you need just one more knight to rescue. Please make sure he's alive." he said calmly.

"Yes. I'll do just that, sir," Zelda answered respectfully, bowing to the soldier.

As soon as he left, Zelda stepped into the escalator, releasing Navi from her bottle when she was no longer fuming.

"Are we reaching for the last knight, Zelda?" Navi asked, obviously clueless of what point of her job that Zelda was on.

"Yup. Just need to find mister #20." Zelda laughed heatedly, fear written all over her face. She was not ready, Navi realized. She doesn't like ghosts very much.

But this ghost was very different, but VERY familiar.

Zelda finally reached the room of paintings, eyeing a large pink crystal, keeping a small knight locked inside. He didn't seem to move, as the Heroine suddenly saw his wound on his abdomen. Blood leaked from his silver armor, as his head was tilted in front of him. His hair was golden, but Zelda couldn't recognize him. His face was behind a mask from his suit, and Zelda kept approaching the hurt warrior.

"Where have I seen him before?" Zelda asked herself, running her left hand on the crystal prison. She could only hear small hoarse breathing from the boy, but she was relieved to see he's alive.

"He's not dead. He's still alive. Gratefully," Zelda replied with a sigh.

"So he is. I'll finish him when I'm done with you." A dark, evil cold, yet familiar voice echoed throughout the room. Zelda shivered from slight coldness, but she turned with a fierce look on her face.

"Come and show your face, you bastard!!" Zelda cried with anger. As if on cue, a mist was created, and Zelda realized the figure was... him. He has returned. Her eyes widened with fear as she stared into the eyes of the evil man... Ganondorf.

"How'd you return?!" Navi screeched, her voice as high as a dog's whistle.

Ganondorf snickered, glaring down at Zelda. "Well, my phantom was so kind to give me a second chance at life. This time, I'll kill you!"

Zelda stood with determination. Ganondorf escaped into a picture, and left the heroine scanning for him. She eyed each painting suspiciously. She had no clue from either painting Ganon was coming from, when she spotted 2 paintings. He exit the lightest painting and shot her with an electric scepter. Zelda winced in pain as she stumbled backward, clutching her arm. She was seething, thinking of a way to attack Ganon before he did her. She readied her bow and shot the lightest painting, and, to her relief, he was stunned, which led her to attacking him directly. She kicked, punched, and slapped the evil king with her anger.

"And this is for killing my father! And this is for capturing me in the stupid ugly dirty rotten stinky stupid idiotic crystal! And this is for turning into an ugly piggy! And this is for returning! And -"

"Zelda! Enough! He was dead a long time ago!" Navi called, unsuccessfully trying to stop her friend from making Ganon a bloody smoothie. Zelda pulled out a dagger, and continued to stab him.

"WHY WON'T YOU SCREAM, YOU BASTARD!?" Zelda growled, still cutting Ganon with her small blade. Navi suddenly had an idea to stop the girl.

"What about 'Mister # 20?,' Zelda?" Navi cried, flying to the soldier who was lying on the floor.

Luckily, Zelda had stopped to rush over to the man. She was eager to see who it was. She sheathed her dagger and removed the mask from the soldier's face.

Zelda and Navi gasped, staring at the boy's pale blank face.

"No way. It's him!" Zelda muttered under her breath.

"No wonder the King would murder the knights if he was killed! It's... it's..."

"Link!!" the girls cried in unison.

Link: At least I returned and am not being murdered. sigh
