Using the power of the Triforces and with the help of the sages, Link and Zelda brought Ganondorf back! Then the sages opened the eyes of the king.
Months later a ball was held in honor of Link's eighteenth birthday.
Ganondorf was standing back by a table when a woman, about his age (remeber Gerudo's age differently, so she's as old as he looks, and he looks kinda young still), came up to him.
"Lord Ganondorf?"
Ganondorf turned to her.
"I'm just Ganondorf now."
"Oh."
"What can I do for you?"
"I heard of how you saved us all, so when I saw you standing over here..."
"You had to come meet me." Ganondorf finished for her.
"How did you know?"
"A lot of people have been doing that lately."
They were silent for a moment.
"Would you like to dance?" Ganondorf asked politely.
She seemed surprised at first then smiled.
"Of course I would."
They joined the other dancers and began to dance.
Maria returned to where she had left Ganondorf only to find him missing! She went over to Zelda, who stood by her parents' thrones.
"Zelda."
"Yeah?"
"Have you seen Father?"
Zelda smiled and pointed. Maria looked where she was pointing and gasped.
There was her father, dancing with the woman! He seemed to be enjoying himself, too!
"Who are you two spying on now?" came Link's voice from behind them.
"Look."
Link looked to where the two girls were pointing, and his eyes widened with amazement.
"Ganondorf can dance?"
"Apparently. He really seems to be enjoying himself."
"Yeah." Link and Maria agreed.
Ganondorf proved to be an excellent dancer!
"By the way, what's your name?"
"I'm Nava. My father is one of the court members."
When the music slowed Ganondorf would have backed into the crowd again, but Nava moved closer to him, so he decided to keep dancing. Besides, this was first time he had danced in a long time! He had forgotten how much fun dancing was!
About halfway theough the dnace Ganondorf became aware of the fact that Maria, Link, and Zelda were watching him.
Then Nava moved a little closer, closed her eyes, and gently rested her head on his chest! Ganondorf looked at his two friends and his daughter.
Finally, after the ball, Ganondorf and Nava were walking through the garden. They sat down on the fountain and talked for a while. Then, before Ganondorf realized what was happening, they were both leaning in closer! Their lips were just centimeters away when he realized what was happening, and he was pulled back and looked away.
"Ganondorf, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, Nava, but..."
He paused, searching for the right words.
"It's too early for something like this, and I'm not sure if I should get involed with romance. I have my daughter to think about, and I don't know how she'd take it."
"Will you talk to her?"
Ganondorf realized that Nava really liked him! As he looked at her he realized that he returned the feeling!
"I'll talk to her tonight."
Nava smiled.
"Nava, we're going home, come on!" Nava's younger brother yelled.
"I'll be right there!"
She stood up and looked at Ganondorf.
"I'll come by tomorrow afternoon at one."
"Uh, all right."
She leaned over, kissed his cheek, and left!
Ganondorf watched her go. He reached up and touched the place on his cheek where she kissed him. He brought himself back to reality and went inside. He found Maria in her room.
"Hello, Father."
"Maria, may I ask you a question?"
"Of course."
Maria sat down at her vanity and began brushing her long, flowing, red hair.
"How would you feel if I began to get involed with romance?" Ganondorf asked, getting right to the point.
She stared at him from the mirror.
"Why?"
"I was just wondering."
Maria turned and looked at her father.
"It's about Nava, isn't it?"
"No."
She gave him a, 'you're very bad at lying to me' look.
"Okay, yes."
"I'm not sure how I'd feel. It'd have to happen for me to know."
Ganondorf caught a hint in her words.
"Are you trying to get me and Nava together?"
"Of course not."
Now Ganondorf was the one giving the 'you're very bad at laying to me' look.
"Father, I wouldn't do something like that!"
"Sure." Ganondorf said, rolling his eyes.
Maria yawned loudly, and Ganondorf walked over to her and wrapped his strong, muscular arms around her.
"Good night, my blue eyed wonder."
Maria smiled at her father's nickname for her.
"Good night, Father."
Ganondorf kissed her forehead and went to his room.
