Author's Note: I do not own the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
The entry to Dodongos's cavern was blocked by two things. The first was a giant boulder and second one was a giant rock wall. However, both of the troubles were fixed through the same thing. Explosions.
BOOOOOOOM!!
The remnants of the rock was shattered all over the floor as Link and Ryu finally entered the cavern.
"Hey, it seems like this place is dangerous. Be careful you guys." Navi never truly went far from Link, but in dungeons anything was possible, and she needed to be with Link at all times, just in case.
In the big and central room, there was only one main way to get around. There was a a platform connecting the front, back, and sides. However the platform was separated by hot molten semi-hardened lava. The only way to cross were these pillars that rose and went back down.
"The pillars seem to rise due to the pressure of the heat in the ground. You guys need to-" Before Navi could even finish, Ryu and Link were jumping around getting to the main platform.
As they got there, a Beamos was in the center and spotted them. It started to shoot a laser at them. At a mere nod of the head, Link and Ryu dashed to the nearest pillar they could. They both chose the right one. Ryu had a head start so he got to the pillar and then the main area are first, but the pillar started to get too low so when Link jumped he missed on his timing. In less then a second Ryu shot out and grabbed Link's hand before he started to fall. With his one arm, he pulled Link up and actually lifted him up in the air.
Navi had finally caught up, and she seemed mad. "YOU IDIOTS! What were you guys doing? And Link what would have done if Ryu hadn't been there to catch you?"
Both Ryu and Link had guilty faces, but in the inside they were both pretty pleased. It had only been a couple days, but already Ryu and Link had saved each other a couple of times."Okay, Now that we're here what do we do?" They both had complete faith in their skills and the others too.
"See those bomb flowers over there? Use them to destroy some of these rock walls. I don't know why they're even there though. Last time I came here the entry was free of anything. "
Unfortunately, another Beamos was here. However, Link didn't care. In fact he picked up a bomb flower and chucked over there. He wasn't expecting much, but the eye beam soon exploded. Link looked out for an extra minute, and then kept a satisfied look on his face.
After blowing up the walls, the smoke revealed a gossip stone and a door. After a couple of times of hitting the Gossip Stone they went on. The next room seemed pretty safe.
"Link we got to hurry." Ryu's voice was laced with caution. "These thing come out and-"
It was too late. These slug looking things started to come out of the ground. Before Ryu could say another thing they were chasing after the group.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Finally after running for several minutes they got to the end with nothing but scratches. They were led to the exit, but it was barred up. The bars would only go up if the blue button was stepped on, but if you stepped off it would close again. Eventualy Link found the statue and pushed on the switch.
After getting through the door, they were attacked by a group of bats in a hallway. Fortunately Link made quick work out of them with his slingshot.
The next room revealed a room with platforms separated by lava pits. However they were also greeted by a loud screech. Two Lizalfos jumped out and soon attacked Link and Ryu. These rough looking monsters were basically walking lizards, but carried a sense of speed and agility.
Link had been prepared for anything, but Ryu was not expecting something like this. Link took out his Deku shield and prepped it up in the air for the attack. As the knife rammed down, it chipped out a slight piece of his shield, but link lunged his sword straight in the stomach.
On Ryu's side, he wasn't having much luck. The Lizalfos was too fast for Ryu's standards, and he was getting slight cuts around his body. It seemed as if it was mocking him. Even with his massive strength the giant sword was just too slow.
Finally the Lizalfos started to get bored and started to go for the kill. Link had already defeated his Lizalfos, but for some odd reason his sword was stuck in the stomach. All he could do was bring out a Deku stick and jump on the Lizalfos' back. He started to choke the Lizalfos while being dangled in the air, so Ryu, with one last slash, cut the Lizalfos in half.
Link hit the floor and started to laugh. Ryu completely dazed at his odd reaction also started to laugh. For a good five minutes they just layed there and laughed.
Even though they both have major experience, they're still both kids. Their fighting is just so awkward. Navi thought.
When the laughter went down, Ryu took out his sword and cut Link's sword out of the stomach. Ryu merely mouthed out a thank you and walked out for the exit.
The room was dark and had an errie feel. Ryu and Link approached the main section warily. Their cautioness was not rewarded because they were placed face to face with a Dodongo, and it looked ready to fight.
