Link took epona and rode home. He pushed maybe a little bit much but she was okay with it. As soon as he covered the drawbridge in his tracks, a dark barrier surrounded the castle trapping him and whoever else was still here inside. He left epona in the stables and continued on foot.

Drawing his sword and shield. He went into a few of the buildings to find them empty of people but they did have a few needed resources like deku seeds. He ventured towards the castle cautiously. He went into the castle and on his way to the sanctuary in the castle, he looked inside the throne room.

There, dark link sat with the royal crown on his head. Link was furious but he couldn't let his emotions get the better of him. He continued, and stopped.

He thought "if he has the crown then my father must be in the dungeon." He knew it was wishful thinking but turned around and started towards the dungeon. He met little resistance and the castle seemed to be empty.

He headed down to the dungeon and as he ran in, ducked right as a mace like ball was thrown right over his head and brought back with a chain. He slid and was barely able to survive a major injury as the spiked ball came down right where he was as he rolled and got into a better position for battle. What seemed to be a knight was in full armor, there wasn't a weak spot to be had.

There had to be one, he knew, he thought this as he dodged the attacks. Link suddenly saw a way. The joints in the armor. Link rolled beneath the knight and ran his blade in between the back of his knees. The knight stumbled and fell. Link picked off the helmet of the knight but found out, it was a beast, he slew it. Leaving behind the ball and chain, he picked it up and dropped it in his bag which made everything lighter unless it was in his hand.

Running for the key, he unlocked the way to his father's cell. Link went to his father.

His father looked at him weakly and in a hoarse voice said "Link? Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, dad."

"Link, what are you doing here?"

"Saving you." He said as he tried to pick his father up and keep him propped upon his shoulder. His father tried to stand but couldn't. They reverted to sitting.

Links father said "Link, you shouldn't be here."

"Why not? I'm here to rescue you and get rid of the enemy."

"Link." His voice turned serious. "You may have to take the throne."

"What?! No!"

"Link, it's time to say farewell." His voice faced and silenced on the farewell. He was still, link closed his father's eyes and stood himself up.

A storm of emotions welled up within him. Rage and anger were the primary ones with sorrow and sadness close behind. His anger as he thought about his enemy turned into wrath.

Acting upon this he ran through the castle through the many flights of stairs and rooms to the throne room. Throwing the doors open, his face covered in sweat and tears.

His face, intimidating and full of anger. This anger towards the one towards the one on the throne, dark link. "I was wondering when you would show up! Oh, I guess you went to the dungeon then, didn't you? Its great isn't it? The king is dead and I'm at the throne!" he laughed evilly.

Link was breathing heavily in rage and exhaustion. He started forward slowly but it quickly turned into a sprint. He readied his blade for a stab. His dark doppelganger at the last second jumped and landed on the blade and broke it. Link started to wildly swing the fraction of a blade at him.

"Whoa. Stop, I just did you a favor, I want a fairer fight. Stop it."

Link saw that he was sincere but was ready at a moment's notice.

"Okay." Link started. "What do you have in mind?"

"Now you're talking. Follow me." Link was still furious and careful but followed him. Dark link opened an entrance to a secrete passage way behind the throne.

They came out at the temple of time. "Get the legendary blade. Then we can fight."

Link placed the stones in their place and the door of time opened. Within was the blade of the hero. The master sword.

He walked up to it and took it in his hands. He lifted it out of its stone pedestal and lifted it upward. A wave of energy seemed to surround the area.

Dark link seemed unhappy at the energy but happy that link had the blade. "Now we can fight!" dark link roared.

Link lifted the blade and charged. Dark link kept him on his toes by parrying quickly and then making a move of his own making a slice across link's shoulder. Link decided to start using his head instead of his heart. With his rage powering his attacks and his head keeping his form and planning the attacks.

He normally would be done with any foe but this was no normal foe. Link was using his forms and attacking with a horizontal slice but it was parried so link rolled and dodged each attack as they exchanged blows. After five minutes, link had scratches and was bleeding all over but his enemy was without a single scratch and not breaking a sweat.

Link tried a desperate move, he charged his opponent who blocked and link then opened it and tried to throw away his opponents blade but he failed and link got a slice right across the chest and dropped his blade. Dark link took it and stabbed link's arm with it.

"Now, I want you to know that I've beaten you at your best with the master sword no less. I want you to die now, knowing this!" he went to run the blade through link for one last blow but had to change direction of the blade, cutting a dagger in two.

There, at the entrance of the temple were two Shiekah warriors. He laughed then said "Perhaps it is not yet your time and dropped the blade and left. Then link fell unconscious soon after.
