Chapter 7: Heart Failure!
………………………………………………………………………………...
Ganondorf planted his fist into Link's face and laughed. Link recovered and growled at him. He quickly took out his boomerang and hoped to stun Ganondorf with it, but the guy was so fast that he dodges it and goes behind Link so his attention is on him while the boomerang hits him. Then Ganondorf grabbed Link by the neck and slammed his body down, back down. Then Ganon slammed his fist into Link's forehead while laughing manically. Link tried to struggle but he was too weak already by three blows.
"You…can't…be…Ganondorf…pant…wheeze," Link panted, "It's…not…possible…pant…pant."
"Muhuhahahaha! Thank you for noticing my new power! Don't you remember what I said to you through my clone back when we fought on the other side of the Tunnel? I am more powerful than you will ever be and it's all thanks to this Triforce of Power in my right hand!" Ganondorf held up his hand to show the glowing symbol of the Triforce.
"I…have…to…beat…you…pant…pant." said Link.
"You can barely stand up! Let alone touch me!"
Ganondorf did another cheap shot to Link. This time, his palm was surrounded by dark energy and he slammed his fist into Link. Link took the blow in his chest.
Link coughed up blood and struggled to get up. He was on his knees and weakly said, "I beat you…many times before…and I…can do it again!" Link actually stood up.
"Hehehe, don't deceive yourself! It takes all your energy to just stand!"
"Maybe, but I got something in me too! And it's called the Triforce of Courage!" the Triforce symbol glowed on Link's hand, too, "And I just can't afford to die right now!"
I won't die Zelda! I will return!
"Hehe, well, if you won't die, then how about I head over to Hyrule Castle right now and kill Zelda? It's her life or yours! You choose!"
Link got out his sword and shield, "YOU LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS!" Link suddenly burst out with energy. He charged at Ganon and actually chopped him in half like a pig. Oh, right, Ganon is a pig. However, Ganondorf did not die. He laughed maniacally again and disappeared.
Link panted, Ok, that was waaaay to easy!
He looked behind him. About a mile away, he could see that Ganon's forces were dying. Also there was lots of Moblin, Kargaroc, and Darknut material that the castle could use for armour and stuff. He decided to go back to the castle so he could guard it in case Ganon came back. No doubt he would be aiming for Zelda.
Link went back to the army and announced that the battle was temporarily over. He also said they should all head back to the castle. Link took out his ocarina and played Epona's Song and Epona appeared. He climbed on with the remainder of his strength and rested the way back. Ganon was nowhere to be found. For that he was both grateful and not grateful.
When he arrived at the castle, Zelda was the first to greet him but he had already passed out because of exhaustion.
………………………………………………………………………………...
Huh? Link woke up, Whoa, what happened?
Link looked up. He was in his room. He looked around. Everything was in place, meaning Ganon hadn't come yet. He then looked at himself.
Whoa, I really got wounded. He looked back up. Then he realized something, so he looked back. Wait, how am I seeing how wounded I got?!
Link realized that someone had taken his clothes off to treat his wounds. He was wearing only underwear and something that looked like the bottom of his tunic. He screamed a little cause he was half naked.
Just then, Zelda walked into the room, "Oh good, you're awake!" she rushed over to him, "You were unconscious for 4 days!"
"FOUR DAYS?!" Link exclaimed, but as he did, he coughed up lots and lotsa blood.
"Link! What's wrong?! SPEAK TO ME!!!!!!!!"
Link then passed out (AGAIN).

Zelda asked the Castle doctor what Link's condition was. The doctor sighed and shook his head.
He then said, "He has a partial heart failure. He might not make it."
The doctor left Zelda with that.
When Link woke up the next morning, Zelda greeted him. She then explained that he had a heart failure and it would be hard to cure.
"I guess Ganon's palm really damaged my heart," Link said.
"Hey, what happened in that battle anyways?" asked Zelda.
"I'll explain."
When Link got to the part about Dark Link, this was a part of their conversation: "Then, when I was too weak, I felt another presence in me, as if it was like the Wolf or something. Then I felt a lot of energy, like that time when I was possesed. So then…"
Zelda cut him off,"Wait, wait, wait. You said you felt the Wolf? As in the Great Wolf Demon,"
"Yup."
"That's impossible."
"Why?"
"Remember when I restored you when you were a wolf?"
"Yeah."
"Well, the Wolf's power was sealed."
"You can't expect to seal ALL of the Wolf's power into a mask. That's impossible."
"You're saying I actually made you weaker?"
"In a way, yeah."
"Oh boy."
After a while, Link got to the part with his twenty minute battle with Ganondorf. This is a part of the conversation:
"And he might come to haunt us in our own castle."
"And how do you expect us to protect it?"
"You're the Princess! You think of a way. I'm tired. Lemme sleep."
And Link fell asleep.
