With a snap of his fingers, Ghirahim created a barrier that spread all across the Sealed Grounds. The demon lord looked down at an unconsciousness Link.
With a smug smirk on his face, Ghirahim said to himself,"I haven't even started the ritual and I can feel the power of the hero's soul! My master will be most pleased."
Zelda and Fi were hurrying down Faron Woods to catch up with Impa.
As she ran, Zelda chocked down a sob and could feel tears trickling down her face.
Once they entered the Sealed Temple, Impa asked sternly,"Where is Link?"
Zelda sobbed,"Oh, Impa... I... let my guard down and the next thing I know I was too weak to save Link from Ghirahim..."
As Zelda cried hysterically, a gateway to the past gradually manifested. Fi put her "arm" on Zelda's shoulder and said with a hint of warmth,"Young Zelda... look."
Zelda jaw dropped. "Is that...?"
Impa nodded. "Yes. Your love for Link has caused another gate to appear."
Zelda was overcome with relief. She slowly approached the gate and with a light touch of her hand, the gate opened.
"I fear Ghirahim is starting the ritual to resurrect Demise. Go now Zelda! Save Link!" Impa said boldly.
Zelda quickly nodded and entered the gate.
Impa told Fi,"You be careful as well Fi."
Fi bowed her head graciously before entering the gate as well.
Ghirahim raised his arms, causing particles of Link's soul to spread out.
Suddenly, the sound of a foot stomping on the ground made the demon lord look up.
Zelda had appeared with a face full of anger.
Ghirahim chuckled and soon his chuckles turned into laughs.
Zelda took another angry step forward and asked in fury,"What's so funny?"
As if on cue, Demise appeared before Zelda and Fi. Without warning, Demise started sucking up Link's soul.
Link screamed. The pain he was feeling was nothing compared to the pain that Zelda was feeling.
In a flash of white light, Demise was now in his original humanoid form.
Ghirahim bowed before Demise. "Welcome back... Master."
Suddenly, Demise pulled out a sword from Ghirahim's chest. This made Ghirahim faint in an almost comedic way.
The strong force made Link's lifeless body fall down towards the ground.
In a state of panic, Fi caught Link in the nick of time.
Zelda sighed in relief.
Demise slowly looked out towards Zelda. He grinned wickedly. "So... you're the little girl who thought she could stop me. How intriguing..."
Zelda said coldly,"Give Link back his soul now."
Demise's grin widened. "Why? He looks far more beautiful in his "deep sleep"."
In a state of extreme rage, Zelda was about to shoot out a wave of energy when Demise countered it with his sword. The wave of light ended up hitting Zelda instead, causing her to transform into Goddess Hylia.
Demise instantly started to panic but quickly brushed it off. "It's time I finish you off once and for all!"
Hylia and Demise clashed their swords together.
Fi watched the heated battle from the highest cliff. She said,"You can do it Zelda." She looked down sadly at Link's motionless body. "You're Link's only hope..."
To Hylia's surprise, Demise swung his sword vertically. This made Zelda drop her sword.
Demise grinned and started to laugh menacingly.
With extreme determination pulsing through her entire body, Zelda used both of her hands to channel bright, white light to seal away Demise.
As Zelda transformed back into her normal form, Link's soul appeared and floated upward. Zelda immediately ran to catch up with it.
It was only a matter of seconds until Link's soul entered his body.
Once she reached the top of the Sealed Grounds, Zelda kneeled down and asked softly,"Link?"
Link slowly opened his eyes. He smiled brightly. "Thank you Zelda. You really are the greatest friend a person could ever ask for.
Zelda laughed in joy and relief. She embraced Link in a tight hug.
Fi soon joined the embrace as well.
It was nighttime in Skyloft. Zelda was all alone in Skyloft's plaza. The cool, crisp wind made her golden hair dance. She gazed fondly at the stars when she felt a familiar presence. She turned around to see Link with a cute, little smile on his face. He bowed and offered Zelda his hand. Zelda giggled cheerfully. She then curtsied and graciously took her best friend's hand.
Together, the two waltzed around the plaza. Soon, the sky turned blue and the ground were replaced with clouds. Link twirled Zelda around before the both of them kissed.
Zelda smiled in her sleep.
