As the door opened, Link felt his heart pounding. Stepping through the door with Zelda, he stood in the face of evil.
Ganondorf sat in a throne as if he were a king. His hand was beneath his chin, as he stared at the pair. A sly smirk spread across his lips as his gaze was met by a glare from the hero. "So I did not kill you hero." He muttered. "Doesn't matter now. You both will die now." He continued before a chilling laugh escaped his lips. "You face the king of evil, kid!"
Ganondorf stood, drawing his long sword. His smirk did not vanish as the hero drew the blade of evil's bane. Zelda meanwhile had the hero's bow ready whenever an opportunity presented itself.
Link rushed his foe in an attempt to get the upper hand. This was a foolish attempt as the dark blade of Ganondorf met the master sword. Breaking their blades apart, Link dodged a fist from the king of evil before lunging at him. This attack was easily avoided but left the blonde pinned against the throne.
The tyrant used this to his advantage as he swung his long sword at the hero of time. Link was barely able to get away from the attack as he sidestepped. The dark blade connected with the throne causing what had been sliced to crumble.
Meanwhile, Zelda was trying to find the opportunity to fire a light arrow into the eyes of the tyrant. Thus far, there was no such opening. It was rather irritating, since she wanted to help Link defeat his nemesis.
Link had an opening, as Ganondorf recovered from the sting running through his blade. Swiftly, he stabbed the master sword into the side of the gerudo warrior. The tall gerudo glared at the young man. Again the king of evil slashed at Link only to have his blade met by the mirror shield of the hero.
Ganondorf growled before his huge boot met the mirror shield. Falling back a few feet, Link looked at the seriously dented shield. He glared at the king of evil before parrying the dark blade. The tyrant backed away and let a cruel laugh fill the room. "You cannot defeat a god! You foolish child." He muttered as he picked the hero up by the throat and squeezed.
That was Zelda's opportunity! Placing a light arrow on the bowstring, she fired it straight into the eyes of the tyrant. Blinded, Ganondorf was forced to release Link and fall through the wall that was behind him.
Gasping for breath, Link felt better when Zelda casted a healing spell on him. Getting to his feet, the hero of time grinned and nodded to the hylian princess. He still had to finish his fight with Ganondorf however. Looking at the giant hole, Link smirked and walked through it.
Ganondorf was standing on the other side of the room. The tyrant came at him, only to have his blade met by the blade of evil's bane. Link kicked his opponent back and began to slice at the king of evil. Link scored another hit, when his blade cut the thigh of tyrant's leg.
The hero grinned, as the gerudo warrior backed off before lunging at Link. Not being able to get out of the way in time, the hero felt the blade skip off his white tunic. A glare was sent his way as Ganondorf growled. "What magic is this?" He wondered as the young man grinned at him.
Narrowing his eyes, the tyrant clashed swords with Link. The sheer power of Ganondorf was too much for the blonde as he was kicked back. Falling to the ground, the young man did all he could to parry the onslaught of slashes from the king of evil. The dark king was sick of having his attacks deflected. Viciously he slammed his blade to the stucco floor. Link only managed to get out of the way of the sword.
Both men fell through to the next floor after the long sword had connected with the floor. Each man groaned as they attempted to stand. After a few moments, both men were on their feet and were attacking the other.
Zelda was on her way down to the second floor after she had heard them fall through the third level floor. As she ran into the room that the men were in, she saw intense combat. She was able to fire another arrow into Ganondorf's eyes however. The king of evil groaned in pain as he slashed the brickwork of the exterior temple wall.
The wall crumbled and Ganondorf fled onto the exterior platform. This increased the risk of death since they were still very high above the desert floor. It was a risk Link was willing to take. He had to take it.
Link also had to switch his sword arm. The lefty placed the master sword in his right hand before following Ganondorf out onto the ledge. The moment Link stepped onto the ledge he was attacked. He was barely able to get his blade up in time to deflect the dark king's sword.
The clash of blades could be heard throughout the canyon. As the hylian army had finished the remaining enemies their eyes focused on the pair dueling high above them. They began to cheer on their hero as they watched the duel between good and evil continue.
Steel continued to connect as the tried to maintain balance on the narrow ledge. Link was able to connect with another blow when he stabbed his blade into the arm of the tyrant. Backing off, Ganondorf growled as he stared into the azure eyes of the hero of time. Link followed and continued his assault on the king of evil.
Blades met as the ledge ended followed by a small platform. After a few paces, the two men had jumped onto the face of the spirit goddess Latching onto the stone, Link slashed at his enemy. His blade met by the dark blade of the gerudo warrior. The blonde growled as he climbed closer to Ganondorf. As he was doing so, the sword of the gerudo slashed at him.
Link was only able to avoid the attack by releasing his left hand from the stone face. The hero of time groaned as he hung clenching the carving with his right. As he clung for dear life, the hero of time felt himself slipping. The hero reached up and grabbed the rock only to hear a cruel laugh leave Ganondorf's lips. "You cannot beat me kid. You're took weak!"
This angered the hero, as he felt his triforce piece begin to flicker to life. He began to slash without mercy at Ganondorf. The dark blade of the gerudo warrior parried many of the attacks but two connected. Those two though minor were important to the hero. He'd connected with the calf and knee of the king of evil. Grimacing in pain, Ganondorf kicked at the blonde. "I won't let you defeat me kid!" He muttered.
Zelda meanwhile had been running trying to catch up with the battle. As she walked out onto the platform that the two duelers had fought on minutes earlier, she drew a light arrow and fired it into the orange eyes of Ganondorf. Blinded by the arrow, the dark king put his hands to his eyes. He wasn't going to let the hero finish him off which is when he kicked himself off the goddess and began his descent toward the desert floor.
Link was not going to let his nemesis die that easily however. That was when he felt the triforce of courage burst from his hand. Zelda's did as well as the two pieces surrounded the dark king. The triforce of power then left the hand of its evil master as two triforces encased the king of evil. Jumping off the stone, Link began to slash fiercely at Ganondorf. Each slice connecting and leaving the tyrant covered in crimson liquid. Link's slashes continued for a few moments more before he sliced once more. The final slice slashed across the abdomen and sent the king of evil into the canyon wall. As he hit the canyon wall, Ganondorf's neck snapped back. A thud was heard throughout the valley as the dead body of Ganondorf hit the sand.
Cheering their hero, they watched as he landed gracefully next to Zelda. A loud war cry escaped the lips of the hero of time as he raised the blade of evil's bane victoriously into the air. His hand wrapped around the waist of the princess as he gazed into her eyes before kissing her.
Author Notes: Well this is the final battle. I hoped you enjoyed and this chapter was worth the week long wait.
