Zelda and Malon reappeared in the ruins, looking between each other.
"That was truly a noble thing Link did," Zelda said. Malon looked at her disbelievingly.
"But… I'll miss him…" Malon sobbed.
"I'll miss him too, but he has gone on to do important things for everybody. I don't know about you, but I am willing to forsake my own personal happiness to allow my kingdom to flourish. Though, to us…" Zelda said, looking over the kingdom. Lon Lon Ranch was in ruin, Kokiri Forest and Zora's Domain had suffered heavy losses, and Kakariko Village was only in somewhat good shape. The Goron and Gerudo tribes were the only ones who remained untouched by the ruin.
"…Well, I'll be accepting my role as leader in the Gerudo society," Malon said. Zelda nodded.
Years had passed since then. The kingdom was in pieces, and the varied tribes were only somewhat in good shape. The various leaders of the tribes had agreed that, before unity would once again become a priority, the tribes should regroup and repopulate. Until then, Zelda had taken to overseeing the Master Sword, and the seal on Ganon. The gentle sound of glass cracking was audible, and Zelda turned to look at it worriedly.
*SMASH*
Ganon burst forth from his imprisonment, and roared forth. Zelda was crushed under Ganon's wrath, but not before she sent the Triforce of Wisdom away to another worthy holder.
Malon was standing on the Desert Colossus, reflecting, not for the first time, the events that had transpired there between her and Link. She was surprised, therefore, to see a piece of the Triforce shooting her way. It had taken her years, but she had already hidden the eight pieces of Link's old Triforce in eight unmarked chests buried under the kingdom. She briefly wondered whether she'd need to do the same to this one, before she heard a divine calling in her ears.
O chosen one of Link, chosen of Farore, listen well to my calling…
Malon looked into the sky, to see the smiling face of one of the Golden Goddesses. She was pretty sure she was talking to Nayru, the Golden Goddess of Wisdom and Law.
Ganon, chosen of Din, has escaped from his prison within the Evil Realm. Zelda, chosen of Nayru, was effortlessly defeated. Time is short for the kingdom of Hyrule. You must assemble the peoples of Hyrule, and take refuge on Hyrule's mountaintops…
Malon nodded, and flipped off the Desert Colossus. She told the Gerudo immediately of their duty, and they ascended a mountaintop. She watched in the distance, as Din and Farore added their work to the kingdom. The Zora people grew wings before her eyes, and flew atop Death Mountain. Kokiri Forest terraformed into a massive mountain.
Go…
Malon remembered her duty, and followed her tribe up the mountainside. The varied peoples of Hyrule salvaged as best as possible, an unbelievable torrent cascaded from the heavens. Rain poured solid for fourty days and nights, slowly but surely flooding the kingdom of Hyrule. Malon glimpsed the massive, pig like form of Ganon, who was trapped within the kingdom as it flooded.
The Kingdom of Hyrule has fallen…
