(I don't own everyone from Zelda. But I do own the female assassin Reina and there still parts from the manga. Note I'm adding Ruto in this chapter more since in the game she just disappeared on you. )
The Legend of Link & Malon
Chapter: 11
Water Temple
The next morning both Link and Malon were up and eating breakfast before going to the Water temple. But no one said a word while they all ate in silence. They were eating bread with honey, fried eggs and bacon with a cup of milk. After they were all done eating Link packed his stuff up and some stuff that the professor gave him, Malon walked outside to get some fresh air but stayed close to the door so Reina wouldn't jump out at her.
"Oh Link I need to talk to you for a moment." The professor said.
Link stopped by the door, he really didn't want this to take long since he hate to leave Malon alone now since that demon girl always tries to kill her. "What is it?" He said.
The professor took in a deep breath and looked at Link. "Your woman, well I think she is so lovely and I have not seen a woman in many years so every time I look at her and the way she dresses…" He looked at Link.
Link didn't get to what the professor was saying but Navi sure did. "Um okay…We have to go." Navi said. Link followed Navi out the door still not getting what he meant.
Malon smiled at Link and let her hair stay down this time. "Ready?" She asked.
Link nodded and walked down in the dried up lake to the Water Temple. Link put on his new iron boots and grabbed Malon to help her to stay under the water floor.
"Where did you get those?" Malon asked while walking in the water with Link.
"From the ice cavern…" He said while standing in front of a closed gate. "I wonder how we open it."
"Up there!" Naiv said while flying up to some blue crystal thing. "It looks like you can pull it. Try your hookshot."
Link held on to Malon and took out his hookshot and pulled it out. The gate started to open up as the blue crystal floated to the top of the water. Link still holding on to Malon and walked into the Water temple, Link took off his boot so he could swim up with Malon to see the temple.
The temple was beautiful. It had Mabel white walls that where smooth to the touch and the floors where blue but also just as smooth, not one drop of dirt anywhere. And it looked so much like a Japanese temple. The sand at the bottom was cream color sand that looked like no one had touched it in so long not even the monsters.
The air was clean and smelled like mix of mist and chlorine. And the water was not too hot or cold it was just right, nice and warm almost like the water was heated.
Link killed the blue tekites that where in front of them. "Where to first Sheik told me the princess of the Zora's was here as well." Link said while looking around.
"Really, Hmm well it seems like the doors up here are locked so I guess we go down." Malon said while looking down into the deep clear water. Link walked over by her and put on his iron boots again. He knew this was going to be a pain in the ass to keep changing them like this.
Link jumped in the water with Malon hanging on to him so she can get the bottom too. They both looked around to see a way for them to go. But Link saw Ruto swim into a passage way that had two unlit torches by it. Link ran after her and Malon followed Link by swimming after him.
They both went down the hallway to see princess Ruto standing by an unlit torch. "Oh…you…If I'm right…Link?" Ruto asked with a smile. "You're Link, aren't you?" She asked.
Link nodded his head and kept his gaze on Ruto's not once leaving it. Malon managed to stay on the ground without floating.
"It's me, your fiancée, Ruto! princess of the Zoras." She said with a loving smile.
Link's eyes went wide and his face turned bright red. She didn't forget that Link hopped the one thing he could feel was Malon's heavy glare on him.
Malon could feel her heart sink into her stomach and her heart break. How can Link be a Zoras fiancée? And would that make him the king of Zoras?
"I never forgot the vows we made to each other seven years ago…You're a terrible man to have kept me waiting for these seven long years!" Ruto crossed her arms and looked over at Malon and gave her an evil glare then turned back to Link.
"But now is not the time to talk about love…I'm sure you've already seen it! Zora's Domain-totally frozen. A young man named Sheik saved me from under the ice…But my father and the other Zoras have not…yet…" She let out a small sigh then looked back at Link. "I want to save them all! I want to save Zora's Domian! You! You have to help me! This is a request from me, the woman who is going to be your wife. Link, you have to help me destroy the evil monster in the Temple OK?" Ruto said.
Link nodded his head and smiled but was feeling so uneasy from Malon's glare at the back of his head.
"Inside the Water temple, there are three places where you can change the water level. I'll lead the way. Follow me, quickly!" Ruto started to swim up to the top of the room.
Link took off his boots again and followed her same did Malon but she was still upset about all of this but she didn't let it get to her. They made it to the top and climbed out of the water.
"See this thing." Ruto pointed. "You play the same song you used to get in Zoras Domain. Here then the water should go down." She said.
Link looked at it then looked at a door behind Ruto. "Okay I see but I'm going through that door first I want to make sure I don't forget anything." Link said.
Malon followed Link and trying to keep to herself. "Hey that's the Zoras tiara is it?" Ruto asked Malon.
"Um yeah it is… your father gave it to me." Malon said.
"Oh? My father is awake that's good…the tiara doesn't look good on you it makes your head look fat." Ruto said as she walked passed Malon.
Malon could feel the anger growing inside her but she just pushed it aside. And follow them both into the room.
The monsters in it where round with sliver spikes coming out of them and rolling after them. Link took out his sword and shield and Malon took out her twin blades. While Ruto just watched by the door.
Link blocked them with his shield and once the spikes went away he jump at it with sword killing it. Malon on the other hand she just froze them all, and then she just kicked them to break them into pieces.
"Wow Link you did a wonderful job like always." Ruto smiled then turned to Malon. "You need to learn how to use your swords better." She said.
A chest appeared in the room. Link walked over to it and opened it to get the map. He looked at it to make sure he knew where he was going.
Malon ran over to Link to look at the map. "Okay we are here so we go there then." She pointed.
"No we go there its locked there! See its red." Link said.
"No-no we go down there and over there!" Navi said
Ruto rolled her eyes and grabbed the map and looked at it. "Okay you are all wrong! We are here and we go here! Got it? Okay let's go" She said while leaving the room.
Everyone followed and Link went up the thing on the wall and took out his Ocarina and started to play Zelda's lullaby. They saw the water go down just like Ruto said it would.
All three of them made their way through most of the temple. Most of the time they were getting lost since this temple had way too many rooms and with the water going up and down and Link having to change his boots all the time was really starting to pissing him off.
Link saw so many platforms that where going down a water fall and platforms on the other side doing the same thing. He had to use his hookshot to get across if he wanted to get to the door. "Oh for fuck sake," Link said.
He took out his hookshot and had both Malon and Ruto hold on his back. As they went across Link had to use his hookshot fast to get up before they fell "okay that was a pain in the ass." Link said.
All three of them made it through the next room that was also pissing Link off with all the hookshooting and having to carrying both Malon and Ruto on his back.
Malon took out a bomb and threw it at the Like-like and killed it on the other side of some really big spikes was. "Wow those are huge." She looked at them and ran her finger along them.
"No shit there big! There here so dumb ass people or monsters don't try and something dumb." Ruto said while rolling her eyes.
"Okay what the fuck is your deal? Why are you being such a bitch to me?" Malon got up in Ruto's face.
"What's my deal? I just don't like some slutty girl hanging around my man that's all." She said while walking over to Link. "And plus look at how you dress, showing off your legs and some of your ass."
"What! I'm not a slut, how dare you! You fucking fish bitch!" Malon shouted.
Link let out a sigh and shook his head. "Come on you two." He said while they both hanged on to him while he used his hookshot again.
They went through the door and walked into a room that the floor was covered in water and with a tree in the middle of the room. The door behind them had bars on them now so now they could only keep going. The room was bright and had mist everywhere and fog out far as the eye can see.
As they walked to the other side of the room to see that the next door also had bars on it as well.
"What the hell?" Link said while looking around.
"A dead end," Malon said with a frown on her face.
"Um not a dead end you dumb ass there's someone in here that's holding a seal on the door. So we have to kill whatever it is that's doing this to open the door." Ruto snapped.
Link started to walk the way he came from but he stopped to see two shadows of him and Malon standing by the tree. "What the hell?" Link said as both the shadows came running at them.
Malon did a back flip and took out her twin blades and started to fight her shadow-self. "What the hell? How can I beat her! She does everything I do! How can I beat this?" Malon shouted.
Link used Din's fire on shadow Link and it really hurt him he saw that he made him fall into the water and come back up on the other side of the room.
Ruto was over by the door just watching them fight. She kept checking Link out as he fought but Malon on the other hand she was thinking very bad things about her. Like she hopes Malon would get killed or she would fall on her ass etc. And she was calling her very bad names in her mind.
Malon stayed close to Link so he could use Din's fire on both of the shadows. Since it seemed like that was the only thing that was hurting them, the dark Malon kicked Malon right in the face that knocked her off her feet.
"Ah!" She screamed but she stayed close to Link while he was doing Din's fire yet again. Malon gave Link a green potion to help his magic.
After they finally killed them Malon was out of breathe same with Link. He was tired from using up so much magic to kill them.
Malon helped Link to his feet and had one arm around her shoulder but that didn't last long because Ruto pushed Malon right over until she fell back on her butt right in the water but Malon was already wet from being in the water for so long.
"Don't fucking touch him!" Ruto shouted as she helped Link walk to the door that now had no bars on it.
Malon wanted to so beat the living hell out of her so bad. But she kept quiet and followed them through the door; the room was small and had a chest in the middle of the room. Link walked over to it and opened it to find the longshot.
"Oh this is better." He said and he gave Malon the hookshot so she can use.
"Hey Link there's those blocks again behind the chest!" Navi said.
Link took out his Ocarina and played the Song of Time to watch the blocks disappear. "This temple is so bloody big." Link said.
They made their way through more of the temple that was now pissing them off since it was so damn big and so many ways to get lost.
Link and the others took a short rest and to take another look at the map. He was even starting to get a headache from Malon and Ruto fighting all the time.
"So Link what kind of wedding do want hm?" Ruto asked Link while sitting next to him, she was so close that she was almost sitting on his lap.
Malon was starting to really get mad at both Link and Ruto. She was mad at Link because he had not told Ruto to stop calling her names and being so damn rude to her. And Ruto on the other hand she wanted to so kill her.
After they went through the whole temple Link, Malon and Ruto walked to where the boss room was. But getting to the door was going to be hard as hell since the floor looked like a slide and there was blade traps sliding back and forth.
"Everything in this temple is a pain in the ass!" Malon shouted.
Link went up first with Malon by his side and helping her up and so she wouldn't get hurt. Ruto got up easy on her own.
Both Link and Malon looked into each other's eyes and then hugged. They always hugged before going into any boss rooms just in case they would never see each other again.
Ruto made a sad face since she could tell Link cared for Malon very much be she didn't want to believe it. "Come on lets go and get the monster, he's is right behind this door." She said as she unlocked the door.
They jump across to the first platform to see very odd looking water. "Link! Look out! That isn't normal water over there!" Navi shouted.
Link looked around to find the monster. But Malon yelled out. "Link watch out! It's behind you!" She shouted.
Link turned to see this long water arm with a pink ball thing inside of it. Link jumped off the platform as well as the others.
"That's the giant aquatic amoeba Morpha!" Ruto shouted.
Morpha grabbed Ruto with its water arm and started to pull her inside the water. Link tried to save her but Morpha just grabbed Link and threw him across the room just missing the spikes. Malon ran over to Link to see if he was okay but Morpha tried to grab her as well but she jumped out of the way and hit it's arm with her ice blade that froze it and broke off like glass.
"Link! Help me!" Ruto shouted from under the water but it was too late the pink ball of Morpha sucked her into its body becoming one with it.
"RUTO!" Link shouted as he got up and used his longshot to grab Morpha and started to slash the hell out of it. But it jumped back into the water making more water arms.
Malon jumped onto the platform and stabbed her ice blade into the water making Morpha stuck in ice and same with the rest of the water. Link ran over and stabbed Morpha with his sword and saw so much blood coming from it, and he even got some on his face. But the thing was that got Link so upset is that he thinks he also killed Ruto since she was inside of him.
Link fell to his knees to see Morpha die before his eyes and see all the water get sucked into the ceiling. "No! I killed Ruto!" Link cried.
"Link? Come on." Malon said as she pulled Link to the blue light on the floor. They started to float away.
Both Link and Malon where back in that crystal blue fountain world. They both saw a bright blue glow coming up from the floor in found of them, there was Ruto standing before them.
"Link…I would have expected no less from the man I chose to be my husband. Zora's Domain and its people will eventually return to their original state." Ruto sighed and then smiled. "As a reward…I grant my eternal love to you."
Link's eyes went wide and had a shocked look on his face.
"Well, that's what I want to say, but I don't think I can offer that now." Ruto had a tear run down her cheek. "I have to guard to the Water Temple as the Sage of Water…And you…You're searching for the princess Zelda?"
Link looked away then turned back to Ruto.
"Hah! You can't hide anything from me! Princess Zelda…She's alive. I can sense it…so don't be discouraged. I can tell that nothing will stop you in your quest for the justice and peace…You must take this Medallion…Take it respectfully." She throws the blue coin up in the air.
Link grabbed it the blue coin and held it close to him. The Chamber of Sages began to dissolve into a haze of fog and light. As it vanished from view, they heard Ruto's voice once more.
If you see Sheik, Please give him my thanks, OK?
