Link and Zelda continued their way through Keel's castle. Once again they
were one member short. Tilkate had been kidnapped and they had no idea
where she was and what Keel and Ganondorf had planned for her. "I wonder
what's behind this door." Link said as the two approached another door. "We
won't know until we see." Zelda replied. He nodded and opened the door.
They were both instantly hit with hot air. The room was a vast pool of lava
with a very narrow walk way leading to the other side of the room. "Link,
it's very hot in here!" Zelda said. He quickly opened his bag and pulled
out two red Goron tunics. "Put it on." He said handing her one of the
tunics. She slipped it on and didn't feel as hot as she did. "Oh, that's
better." She sighed. She then looked at the narrow walk way. She knew that
she could easily trip on her long dress. She put her hands together and
closed her eyes. The bottom of her dress began to glow. It split in two
parts and wrapped around her legs. "That should make it easier." She said.
"Well I guess we better walk on this narrow walk way. I'll go first. Stay
close behind me." Link said. He began slowly walking. After he got a few
steps ahead, Zelda began walking. She gasped when she heard a loud noise
behind her. She turned around to find a huge wall of fire coming towards
them. "Link!" She cried. He looked behind him and saw the fire wall. "Run!"
He yelled. They both ran as carefully as they could. It was extremely
difficult. The wall began getting closer and closer to them. They could
feel the heat from the fire wall on their backs. "Oh no!" Link gasped when
he found that there was a large gap between him and the door. He scanned
the walls for a hookshot plate. "Yes!" He exclaimed when he finally found
one. He quickly pulled his hookshot and wrapped his arm around Zelda's
waist. "Hang on tight." He said. He shot the hookshot and in a couple
seconds they were in front of a door. Link quickly opened it and the two
ran into the next room.
"Oh gosh!" Zelda exclaimed trying to catch her breath. Beads of sweat dripped from hers and Link's forehead. "Are you alright?" He asked also trying to catch his breath. "Yeah." She answered. "Well maybe we can cool down in this room." He said looking in the room they were now in. The room was very cold. The floor was made of ice, but something troubled Link. Under the ice was water. Did this mean that the ice could easily break? "Zelda, I don't like the looks of this room." He said. She nodded in agreement. "Yes I know. The ice looks fragile." She said. "Take my hand. We should cross together." He said holding out his hand. She place her hand in his. They slowly took a few steps forward. "Well, I guess it's……" She stopped when she felt the ice beneath begin to shake. "Oh no!" She gasped. Link held her hand tightly and began running. "Link! I'm slipping!" She cried. He tried his best to hold her up, but they both found themselves falling. He looked behind him and saw the ice breaking faster and faster. He quickly helped her back up and began running again. There was a gap between them and the door. There was no hookshot plate which meant they had to jump. The two ran a little faster and once they reached the edge, they jumped. They barely caught the ledge. Link pulled himself up and then helped Zelda up. "That was too close!" She gasped as she threw her arms around him. "It's okay. We made it." He said softly. "Well I guess we better continue." She said. "Yeah, I wonder how close we are to Keel's throne room." He commented.
He opened the door to the next room. When they got in, the room was completely dark. "I can't see a thing." Zelda said. Link tightly closed his eyes and raised his hands high in the air. She knew that he was using his Triforce power to help them. She could tell that he was concentrating very hard. He was still new at using his powers. After a couple minutes, his hands began glowing. Now there was a bright ball of light hovering above his hands. He slowly lowered his hands and the ball came in front of him. "Be our guide. Help us find the way out of here." He said. He held out his hand. "Come on, Zelda." He said. She took his hand and they followed the light. Link never took his eyes off the light. He followed its every move. The light faded when it came to a door. "Dang! It has bars!" Link exclaimed. "Link!" Zelda gasped. He turned around and saw himself face-to- face with a Stalfos. Link quickly drew his sword. "Zelda, stay back." He said.
He held his sword in front of him and waited for the Stalfos to drop its guard. "Come on you jerk!" Link said. The Stalfos swung its sword at Link, but he quickly swung his sword and blocked the Stalfos' sword. The Stalfos walked back a few steps and then jumped forward at Link. Link quickly rolled underneath it and swung his sword at its back. A few bones fell of the Stalfos, but it was still moving. "You guys don't up do you?" Link said. The Stalfos lowered its shield and swung its sword at Link again. This time Links' sword missed the Stalfos' sword and hit its rib cage. It fell backwards and fell into pieces. "I hate those guys." Link sighed. "The bars! They're gone!" Zelda exclaimed pointing to the door. "Well let's see what's behind it." Link replied. He opened the door and gasped. In front of them was Keel and Ganondorf. They finally reached the throne room. Keel was sitting on his throne smiling evilly with Ganondorf standing beside him with his arms crossed. Also smiling. "Welcome, Link and Princess Zelda. You finally made it to my throne room." Keel said.
"Oh gosh!" Zelda exclaimed trying to catch her breath. Beads of sweat dripped from hers and Link's forehead. "Are you alright?" He asked also trying to catch his breath. "Yeah." She answered. "Well maybe we can cool down in this room." He said looking in the room they were now in. The room was very cold. The floor was made of ice, but something troubled Link. Under the ice was water.
