Zelda clung on to Link once more when they made it to the blizzard area. They took a left and they were officially in the storm. Zelda wasn't as scared as before, there was no reason for them to fail, but she still didn't like the idea of being carried off by the harsh winds and being separated from Link. Link took a right, and then took a left. A snowman appeared, Link could barely see it so it managed to hit him once but Link defeated it after. Link took a right again, then another left. Link killed another snowman. Zelda was scared but was feeling more confident. They had never gotten this far before. Link now took a left and then a right. Two snowmen appeared this time, but Link easily dispatched them. The temple was just up ahead…

When Link entered the temple where they could see, Zelda let go of him somewhat embarrassedly as he hopped off the train.

"So this is the Snow Temple." Zelda said "Are you ready for this, Link?"
"More than last time." Link said

"Then let's go!" Zelda said. Link nodded and set off to his right through the door. Link gave a loud groan. He had hoped the temple would be warmer than the outside, but that wasn't the case. The temple practically was outside, there were holes everywhere on the ceiling and walls. It was snowing everywhere and the grass had even frozen. Link slashed at the grass so it wouldn't block his path and killed a keese. The next room he walked in had a solid frozen floor. There was an ice ChuChu here and Link blew it away before stabbing it. As he slayed it he fell on his face due to the slippery ice. "Are you OK?" Zelda gasped

"Fine…" Link said slowly getting to his feet and falling again. When Link managed to get up again without tripping he examined a block with a large bell on it. Just a few feet from it was a slot with a bell symbol. Link push the block into the slot but nothing happened. Link looked around and killed another ice ChuChu. Link then saw a sign on the wall. It had three lines and through the middle one were two pictures of bells. Link punched the bell twice and a door to his right opened. Link headed to this room and saw a staircase to a ledge too far to jump. In between this was a lot of ice and a normal block. Link pushed the block to an area to jump on between ledges to make it to the other side, tripping a few more times in the process. Rubbing himself, Link ran to the ledge and jumped on the block, then to the next ledge. Link followed this to a hall leading to the next room. In this room was a lot of unfrozen water and in this water were several beasts known as octoroks which were monster octopuses. These ones were rapidly sending out balls of whatever they spat out in front of them. On the other side was a switch. "What do you think my chances are of making it?" Link asked.

"Oh, Link, don't!" Zelda said "That water must be freezing! And you're cold enough as it is!"
"Any suggestions?" Link asked. Zelda placed her hand on her chin and thought for a moment before answering

"Yes…I have one idea. Use the whirlwind and time it with those ball things the octoroks keep shooting out and make it hit the switch."
"Good plan!" Link said pulling out the whirlwind.

"Thanks." Zelda said. It took Link awhile but after three tries he managed to get it perfectly and the projectile hit the switch which formed two bridges. Link crossed these to the other side of the room, dodging the octoroks as he did so. At the end was another staircase which Link took. There was a pond here, with a little bit of frozen ice near the beginning. On the frozen ice was a block. Link pushed it and it landed in the water. Thankfully the block floated and Link was able to ride the water on it. Link blew at a windmill ahead and saw the whirlwind would make the block move like a boat. Link used this to his advantage and once the door on the other side was open Link went there and saw a newish monster. It was an octorok except it was incased in spiked ice. "A freezard." Zelda muttered "Don't attack these in an enclosed area, or they are dangerous. For now just knock it in the water." Link nodded and jumped to the area across the pond. It was frozen so he slipped once more, but managed to knock the freezard in with his sword while lying down. Link went into the next area past the door. The next area had an even bigger pond, but likewise had a block. Link pushed this and jumped on it, nearly falling off into the water. "Careful, Link!" Zelda cried. Link nodded and steadied himself. However there were octoroks in the water and Link just barely blocked ones projectile in time with his shield. Link used the whirlwind to sail around the pond to the other side and jumped off. The next room had a large ledge leading to a staircase and two switchs. Link grabbed a pot and threw it at the switch. He wasn't strong enough to reach it.

"Now what?" Link asked

"I don't know, but there's a room to your left." Zelda said. Link looked and saw that she was right. Link headed to the left and soon found himself in a room of ice. The moment he was in, the door shut closed behind him. Several blue keese appeared. Link knew immediately these must be ice keese, like fire keese but they would freeze him. Link pulled out the whirlwind and blew. They were really no different than ice ChuChu's except they were faster. When Link beat them all, the door opened again and a chest appeared. Link opened the chest and found a boomerang. It was yellow with silver in the middle and red ruby between the silver.
"Maybe I can use this to get the switches." Link said out loud.

"Well that's probably why they put it here…but can you use a boomerang?" Zelda asked.

"Well…I'll try." Link said holding the boomerang over his head. Zelda saw the ruby glow and when he let go the boomerang did a perfect curve and went back to him.

"Link, do that again!" Zelda said.

"OK…" Link said holding the boomerang above his head once more.

"Look, the ruby!" Link looked and saw it glowing. "I think it's magic! Maybe it will go wherever you want it!"
"Hmmmm…" Link said throwing it. The boomerang did several twists and loops then went back to Link. Zelda realized Link had been tracing her name in midair.

"So it IS magic!"

"I suppose it's safe to assume I can throw it at the switches without worrying about it falling off." Link said heading back to the switches. Link concentrated for a moment then threw the boomerang. It hit both switches and went back. With the switches green, a bridge appeared and Link crossed it to the next staircase. Link found himself in another room with an icy floor. Another bell was on a block but smaller than the last one, and a note on the wall. Likewise it had three lines. This time though it had one in the middle, two on the top, then another in the middle. Link memorized this and pushed the block bell down the ice. Link found a door at the end and couldn't move it any more. Link turned to his right and saw a large abyss with several ice keese there. "I wonder what's over there." Link said

"Hmmm…I could check seeing how I can float and all." Zelda offered but Link shook his head.

"The keese might hurt you."
"They can't. Only people who can see me can hurt me. If Phantoms can't then I'm sure something as common as these won't!"
"Fine…" Link said. Zelda floated to the abyss and just to prove her point flew straight through one of the keese. Luckily it couldn't hurt her. "Zelda…!" Link moaned.

"See? No harm…anyway I don't see anything…wait! Link to your right…er left is a platform with a switch. Aim the boomerang there!" Link nodded and concentrated. He was having difficulty hitting an object he couldn't see. The first attempt hit the wall and the boomerang flew back to him. "Go a little to your right—sorry left!" Zelda said. Link nodded and threw it again. This time it hit and the door opened.

"Thanks, Zelda!" Link said gratefully.

"I'm glad to have been of help." Zelda said. Link pushed the bell some more and saw he was in the room with the first bell. Link saw a slot to the right of the larger bell and pushed the smaller one in it. Link glanced at the two and remembered the first bell music sheet. The first one had been the middle. Link threw the boomerang, it hit the bigger one, then the smaller one twice and then the bigger one again. A new door, south of Link, opened. Link entered it and saw a snowy room with a torch with fire in it. Link sat down next to the fire for a moment and warmed himself up a bit. Link then turned his attention to the other unlit torches nearby. Link did a very stupid thing and threw the boomerang in the fire of the first torch and once the boomerang was on fire he made it go the others. Once they were lit, they went out again. The boomerang was safe due to it being magical. But Link didn't know it would be and simply hadn't thought of the consequences. Link had simply had some dumb luck.

"Hmmm…" Link said to himself.

"Link, the floor!" Zelda said. Link looked and saw that his boomerang had melted the snow. There were dots around each of the torches. Link realized these were numbers and made the boomerang go to the top right, the bottom right, the top left, and finally the bottom left. When he finished, a new door opened. Link stepped through this and saw a staircase. Link climbed down and saw a locked door right next to him. There was a pond here as well, but unlike the others, it didn't have a floating block conveniently placed by. There was a torch in the middle full of the same blue-white fire the ice keese had. Link had a feeling this was freeze flame which would make things cold, not hot. Link threw the boomerang at this flame and made it go all over the water to another piece of land. This land had a chest. The boomerang froze the water everywhere it went, leaving a path for Link to follow. Link went to the chest and opened it, it had a key. Link went back to the other section of land and opened the door. This room was square and frozen with a torch in the middle. Almost predictably, the door closed behind him and an enemy appeared. This time it was freezards. Link stabbed one but this turned out to be a foolish thing to do. The ice, it seemed, was armor and the freezards bounced all over the place. They knocked Link over and hurt him with their spikes. Link threw the boomerang at the torch and made it hit the freezards. The ice melted at the flames touch and the octoroks were revealed. Link killed the octoroks and the doors opened. Link went to the new door and saw it only lead to the pond as well. Link wondered for a moment what the point of the room was. Then he saw a frozen windmill and realized he was to use the red torch. Link threw the boomerang and made it hit the torch and the windmill. When the windmill was unfrozen Link used the ice-fire to make a path to it. Link took out the whirlwind and blew. The windmills spinning opened a door. Link made another ice path and went here. The next room had the largest pond of them all. It had five torches in the middle, only one was lit and the water was infested with octoroks.

"Good luck, Link…I hope you don't fall in!" Zelda said. Link nodded and scanned for a bit of land to go to. Link saw one with a staircase and one with a stamp station. Wondering why there was a stamp station in such a deadly place and if Niko knew this, Link threw the boomerang at the first torch. He made it create a path for him and light the next torch. Link then used his next torch to make a path to the stamp station. Link looked through his pack for the stamp book, when he extracted it, he stamped it with the stamp of the Snow Temple. This one was blue and had a picture of the Snow Temple along with some Spirit Tracks, snowflakes and ice shards. Link pocketed the book and continued making a path across the pond, lighting torches and slaying octoroks on his way. When the fifth torch was lit, a chest appeared on the other side of land, which was now close to Link. Link made the final path and opened the chest; it had a large green rupee. Link was thankful as he was running out of rupees right now. Link took the staircase to the next room, which had the last and largest bell, along with another pond. The bell was on a frozen section of the pond. Link looked around and saw ice flames on the other side and floor switch. Link made a path for the switch. Once Link pushed the switch, it opened the door on the other side.

"How am I going to get that bell over there?" Link asked

"I think you need to push it across by making a frozen path don't you?" Zelda said.

"Yes, but isn't it too heavy?"
"I have a feeling it isn't. They made the temples hard, but I know they're possible."

"I hope I don't drown…" Link said

"I hope you don't too. Good luck, Link and please be careful!" Link looked around and saw another room.
"Wait maybe this place has a clue!" Link said and headed towards it. This room was in the snow as well, it had a torch of fire and several fire keese, but other than that, nothing. Link took out the boomerang and killed the keese.
"Link, look!" Zelda said trying to push his face down, but couldn't actually move Link due to being a spirit. Link knew what she had meant to do though and looked down. There was a picture of a bell engraved on the stone floor where the fire from the fire keese had melted the snow. Link took out his boomerang and made it melt the rest of the snow. It showed him the final bell song. It went down, middle, middle, up, middle. Link made a note of this and went back to the room with the big bell. Unfortunately there was nothing to do but take Zelda's advice. Luckily it seemed that Zelda was right. When Link pushed the bell in position and then froze a path for it, it stayed on just fine. When Link pushed it through the door on the other side, they were once again in the main bell room. Link froze the little pond here and pushed the final bell in its slot. Link then played the last song and the north door opened. Link went through here and casually pushed a freezard away with his shield and headed up a staircase. The next room had two paths, forward and right. Link took the right path and saw a purple carpet with a red and blue fire torch on it, along with several unlit torches. There was also a symbol in the middle of the carpet. Link couldn't figure out what to do in this room and left. Link took the other path and after killing two ice ChuChus found another huge block door like the one from the forest temple.

"So I suppose there's another gigantic monster for me to fight, eh?" Link said looking at it.

"Maybe…maybe not." Zelda said "Oh…do be careful though, Link!" Zelda said full of concern. Link looked at her and saw how seriously she looked at him.

"I will Zelda, I promise. I won't rest until you have your body back! I swear it!" Link said with a smile. Zelda smiled too and Link turned his attention to something written on the wall. It had several red and blue pictures of flames. Link took a piece of paper and wrote it down. Link went back to the flame room and first lit the blue flames as they were supposed to be, then the red. It didn't do anything. Link checked the wall again and saw it matched his notes completely. Link lit the flames again to see if he had done something incorrect. The flames on the torches also matched his notes. "What am I doing wrong?" Link asked out loud.

"Maybe you're supposed to do it in one swing of the boomerang?" Zelda suggested "Try making it turn from red to blue, or blue to red mid-way." Link nodded and tried again, Zelda was right, it had worked this time. A new door opened for Link.

"Thanks Zelda." Link said

"Well I need to do something, don't I? I'm not much help…."
"You're a big help!" Link said with such great sincerity Zelda was taken aback. Link went through the next door, the room had snow in and the door closed on him. Four wolves appeared, but Link slayed them easily with his blade and boomerang. When they were dead the doors for the way back and forward both opened. Link was now in an icy room with a great hole in it. On a pedestal was a big key. Link slipped as he crossed the room and nearly fell off

"Be careful!" Zelda cried. A less oblivious person than Link would have noticed that Zelda warned him quite a bit about his safety and seemed awfully concerned, even for a friend. But Link didn't notice this and nodded. Link saw a floor switch and stepped on it. When a bridge appeared, Link blew the big key on the bridge with the boomerang and collected it as he passed. The trip wasn't far to the door. Once there, Link threw the key which went into the lock itself once again. The block lowered and Link stepped in, bracing himself for another hard fight. In the next room was a narrow stone bridge, which Link crossed. On the other side was a slab of stone with words which also read Step in the blue light and return to the temple entrance and once read, blue light appeared. Link headed up the stairs and found himself in an area like the one in the Forest Temple. It was round and had a cliff all around it, once entered the door below him shut. Except this time the area he was on was made of stone and he was indoors. Link looked around and saw he must be at the top room of the temple. Suddenly a torch lit with red fire, then the other with blue fire. Some flames rose from both and left their torches, they fused and a new monster appeared. Unlike the last one it wasn't big or scary looking. It looked like a dark blue lemur with very pointed ears. Although it was taller, about as tall as Alfonzo, and it had a blue eye and a red eye. It had a single horn and wore clothing as well. It was floating a few inches above the ground and at the sight of Link expanded like a balloon, making him look very fat. It laughed at Link and deflated itself. It glowed blue for a moment and inflated itself again. Link cut at it, but this seemed ineffectual and the creature let loose a jet of icy fire which temporally froze Link until he was able to muscle out of it. It glowed blue again and Link looked at the two torches. Link threw the boomerang at the fire torch and made it hit the monster. The creature fell to the ground and Link slashed and hacked at it. The lemur slapped him away and expanded again, this time it was red. Link knew what to do, he went for the blue torch this time and once again the lemur fell. Link slashed and hacked until the lemur twirled and turned into two smaller lemurs, each was identical. Link had a hunch that each controlled a certain element and he needed to do the same as before, and he was correct in this idea. However the two were completely identical and Link couldn't tell who to go for. What if he made it stronger by giving it the wrong element? However the mystery was soon solved, the two creatures glowed. Each a different color, and Link aimed the boomerang at the torches. However unlike their combined form, the little lemurs did not take long to fire their attacks and Link was hit by the fire, which wasn't as big as the other projectiles the lemur could shoot, but was still deadly.

"LINK!" Zelda gasped. Link appeared to be fine though, he gave a wink to Zelda who didn't understand how he was doing so well, indeed the attack barely hurt Link, which Link didn't understand either. However I do know why Link was barely affected, something the two teenagers didn't learn for months, and I will tell you. Like Zelda, Link was unique, although rather than his body, it was his spirit. Unlike Zelda it isn't carried through blood but by the spirit of courage from the great heroes, he had some of their spirit in him and now that he was fighting for Hyrule it was starting to show, it had actually all begun to appear after he defended Zelda from Byrne. And as he did more it got stronger. Back to the fight though, Link aimed the boomerang at the ice torch and made it hit the one he knew would be the fire monster. Once hit it turned into ash. Link then aimed fire at the ice creature which turned to water. Once they were both defeated, the ash and water fused to turn into the bigger version once more. The monster gave a little growl and destroyed the torches. Link gasped.

"Now what am I to do?" Link cried. Zelda gulped, she dearly hoped Link would be OK. The lemur turned red and Link ran as fast as he could, however that was all he could do—run. Link managed to avoid getting hit by the fire blast but was no closer to defeating the monster. The monster turned blue next and just when Link felt the cold wave rush past him, he got an idea. It was red again, Link threw the boomerang at the left over ice-fire and made it hit the lemur. It shrunk a bit but wasn't completely done with. Link made some more ice-fire hit it and it was exposed for attack once more. Link slashed at it with his sword until he was slapped back once again. It was red once more and shot fire at Link. Link had to roll to dodge it this time. When it was blue Link made the fire hit it twice and slashed at it once more. The response to this was predictable—turning into two small creatures once more. Link knew what to do, so he waited for them to attack. Once they did, Link made some of the fire hit the ice lemur. Once it was water, its ally cast a spell to revive it. Link growled and dodged another jet of fire and ice and began thinking of a strategy. After dodging two more jets Link realized he was making the same mistake here as he did with the torches in the purple carpet room. He needed to get them with one throw of the boomerang. Link made the fire hit the ice lemur again and just when the fire lemur was about to revive it, the boomerang hit him with some ice. The two fused again and Link had a feeling the battle was getting close to done. Link dodged a jet of ice and then another. When the creature finally turned red, Link made the ice hit him three times just to be safe. As it turned out, this was needed. Once the monster was stunned, Link slashed at it with his sword, avoiding the slap this time. The monster turned red and attacked. Link had to dive once more to dodge the fire, but still managed to hit his face on the floor. Feeling tired Link directed the fire at the now-blue creature and once it was deflated, he slashed it until it was dead. Link was gasping for breath…and so was the monster. It deflated and inflated and eventually blew up. A white triangle appeared and just like last time, a machine did too. Link smiled, his work here was done.

Link and Zelda stood side by side watching the machine's progress and the energy flow from the Spirit Tracks to the tower, and the small addition of Spirit Tracks. The tower added a new piece on, Link only needed two more now. Zelda moved over to Link with the type of relieved look a husband gets when he sees his wife after coming back from a war.

"You did it!" Zelda cried "You could have been frozen stiff or burnt to a crisp, but you avoided both!"

"Heh, thanks, Zelda." Link said, worn out but feeling pretty happy.

"Sorry I couldn't, um, be more help when you were risking your life out there." Zelda said awkwardly

"It's OK, Zelda. I know that if you had a body of any kind you would be doing everything in your power to help." Link said. Link stepped into the blue light and appeared back at the train station.

"Great job, Link! Let's head back to the Tower of Spirits and tell Anjean the good news!" Zelda said

"She probably knows." Link said but headed on his train and made a course to the Tower of Spirits.

I know…not my best chapter. Anyway I figured out how to spell ChuChu. Also since this isn't an original creation there will be no "notes" section when I finish the story. Oh well, please review =D
