Considering more than half of you got it right for different reasons, this chapter to dedicated to all my wonderful reviewers. Thank you all so much for the quick replies. I was happy to get a chapter up within a week, considering Thanksgiving was Thursday. How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine was truly wonderful and jam packed with yummy food, the Macy Thanksgiving Day Party, which I watched live! Then I went skating with my 8 year old niece. (Technically my friend's sister, it's her daughter, but she called me Auntie Becks, heh.) Well she skated and I skateboarded beside her. Then I read her some online fanfics, that were rated K or K+. She's little, so I won't even read my fanfics to her to are rated high, except my stories "Makings of a Hero & Life's Fine Lines." Don't wanna scare her or anything. Anyways, I am so happy to actually get think part out. Enjoy and once again, thank you all.

Also there is a good "LINK" (haha) on my page to a page on facebook. Now before you ask, you don't have to be a member of facebook to view it. I did this so my readers may view it. It's public and it also gives my readers another look at my updates and such. I am having amazing support and I was asked to make a page on facebook. Like I said, it's viewable to the public and you don't have to be a member of the site to view it. Take a look and leave your suggestions in a review or PM on here. I admit, I haven't done much on it, but with time, many photos I love from the series will be on there. Check it out!


SHOWING APPRECIATION TO MY REVIEWERS

Gojira Geek: You are right about those two. They was two more, but the jest of it was MAINLY the triforce. He needs Link's to be able to achieve what he wants. So he needs Link alive, so all he has to do is take over. Let's just hope Tay and Colin can save Link in time.

rylek196: Honestly, I hate it too, lol. Only reason I have it is because all my family lives in California and I'm in Florida, haha. That is how I stay in contact with them, considering my cell phone has crappy reception way out here. I feel like it's in the middle of no where, but I live in a city with one next to it, but both are so tiny, we are away from other cities..The closest one in 45 minutes away in all directions haha. Pretty much the middle of nowhere..Smack dab in the middle of the state for crying out loud, haha. Ohh..I do like that story. Heh. Haha, that's a partial reason.

CupcakePride101: He DOES! I told my mom (of all people) to watch the video and needless to say my mom couldn't talk because she was laughing to hard, lol. I think out of all the games, Twilight Princess (besides Majora's Mask) has a dark storyline to it. The music for that game is extraordinarily breathtaking. Anyways, what is your favorite piece of music from it? Me personally love the trailer song "Don't Want You No More." I have the mp3 for that song if you're interested. Once I make them, I will. I am going to try a new recipe and I hope it turns out alright. I love Hakkai, he is quite a wonderful child. Well he has Tay and Zelda as his parents. Hehe. Hakkai loves Link and Colin a lot. Those are like Uncle's to him, which is why he was frightened back in chapter 2 when they fought (that yelling match) because he doesn't like to see them fighting. Enjoy.

Elder OT Ridge: I am guessing slow is good? Vampire Knight is an awesome anime. It's only 26 episodes long, although the manga is ongoing. You know what anime has me biting my nails? NARUTO! If they kill any of my favorite characters off, I'll scream in anger. I will not allow that to happen, haha. Anyways, thank you again. LY2BB! Haha!

Storm Dragon Wolf Princess: YES! That's is HALF the reason. I appreciate your continued love and support sweetie. I suppose it was suspenseful, with a five year trying to get to safety on his own. He is definitely Tay and Zelda's son. I do hope this chapter quenches your taste buds with twists and turns in it. Haha. Enjoy it!

AreiaCananaid: Mini-Me, you never cease your silly antics, do you? Again, I laughed with glee and it was good. You made me laugh so much, I almost had an accident, haha. I am so happy I recorded myself this time and send it to you. You got the video, right? And don't worry. Apology accepted. I think I was a bit of an emotional mess anyways. wait a minute, Ganon in a grass skirt?! -bursts into peals of laughter; What on earth? You silly little thing!Well thank you! I am glad you liked the chapter. May I just say: LINK FTW! Haha! Enjoy it with Ghirahim Rainbows, lol!

tigerfriend1999: Thank you sweetie for putting up fake tears for me to resolve in updating faster, though I am not sure it quite worked out. Your logic is quite right, so no need to fret. I also send my humble apologies. I heard of the events that occurred and I do hope you will be feeling better with time. I greatly understand how you feel. I lost a furry part of my family that I adopted. It was only 8 weeks old when we lost her and she was the kitten I picked out when she was born. I love you Midori and I miss you. -smiles; Things will get better, I promise.

Arison Nakaru: I thank you for your kind words and private PM you sent me. I will address you, because you did read and review it, though it is not shown ON the site where my reviews are viewable. Again you are also half right. What is it with people being HALF right? Of course, I am being a little bit mean, not fully revealing everything. I do hope you enjoy.


-Unexpected Events-

Link laid there, as Tay and Colin stared at him. He watched their reactions carefully, knowing what they were both going to say.

"What?" Tay exclaimed. His eyes grew wide.

"You?" Colin choked out at the same time. He looked like he lost his best friend.

Link closed his eyes and bowed his head. "Yes," he whispered, reopening his eyes, looking at his best friends. "We all know why Ganondorf wants me and why he needs me alive. Once he manages to collect Zelda's triforce, he'll come for this." Link raised his left hand, showing off the triforce glowing. "He needs the entire triforce to gain control over the world. Zelda and I are literally in his way. He has to, in a matter of speaking, dispose of us to succeed in his goal."

Tay made a fist. "But since you were unwilling to give up so easily, he moved to get Zelda's?" Link nodded to confirm what happened. He shuddered at the inner battle he had with Ganondorf not too long ago.

Link screamed in agony inside his own mind as Ganondorf continued to torture him with bolts of dark energy, "Stop it...please..."

Ganondorf let out a dark, evil laugh. "My my, is the Hero of Time actually begging? I never thought that day would come. I'll tell you what, if you promise to give me your triforce, I'll let you go."

"Burn in hell, you asshole," Link's voice was laced with venom and his eyes hardened with hatred. The gerudo growled in anger, creating a dark ball of evil magic. Link's eyes widen in horror. 'If that hits me...' Just as he thought that, Ganondorf hurled it at him. A burst of adrenaline pumped through his veins. He placed his hands on the ground and managed to push himself backwards, missing the blast by mere inches. He did a back flip, landing on his feet. He grunted in pain, landing on his knees. He kept his eyes on Ganondorf.

The gerudo growled angrily. He knew as well as Link that this battle wasn't going anywhere. "You will regret it.." Link didn't feel his presence anymore, as he collapsed inside his own mind.

Colin placed his finger on his chin, thinking. "Well, is there a way you can use Nayru's Love to protect yourself?'

"No," Link shook his head. "I don't want to exhaust myself using magic. That's when Ganondorf will come for me, I'm sure. He'll want me tired and weak..." His voice trailed off. He gained both Tay and Colin's attentions.

""What is it?" Tay asked concerned.

"He had to perfect opportunity to gain it a few days ago," Link whispered. "But he didn't..Why is that?" Hakkai snuggled closer against Link, staying asleep.

Both Colin and Tay looked at one another before Tay shrugged. "Good question that we unfortunately don't have an answer for."

Colin's eyes widen. "You were too weak in his eyes probably.." Link looked at Colin. "Think about it. You still have a broken leg, right?' Link nodded. "He probably wants to get you just before you fully recover, to throw you off guard or something."

Link thought about it. Before he could say anything, the undeniable voice of Ganondorf's filled his mind. 'Now you're mine. You cannot tell them anything or let on.' Link couldn't help, but close his eyes, feeling dark power surge through his body. He gasped in pain. "Take...Hakkai..." He managed to choked out. Tay had his son in his arms within moments. Colin shot Tay a look, as they backed away.

The same conclusion had reached both of their minds. Ganondorf was inside Link again, but what happened to Zelda? Did she still have her triforce? Was she alive? Was she even okay? Link tried to force the dark energy from him, until he heard Ganondorf's voice. 'How funny, you are. You would try to fight the King of Darkness? Darkness is all around you.' Link moaned, as he landed on the floor in a heap. He had his eyes close, hearing Ganondorf's cold and evil words. 'It cannot be defeated. The darkness lurks even in your mind.' Link began to breath heavily, trying to fight it. 'No mind can resist pure darkness. Not even you..'

Link shook his head in anger at Ganondorf. 'Shut up!'

'Haha,' Ganondorf continued. 'You shall succumb to darkness. No one can fight true darkness.' Link laid on the ground in pain after he fell to the floor from his bed. Colin took a step towards him. He stopped and gasped, seeing Link's body quivering with blackness around it.

"Link!" Both Colin and Tay shouted. They couldn't believe what they were witnessing. They were witnessing Link turn evil right in front of them. They both felt helpless. Colin made a fist, as Tay watched holding his son.

"Come on, Link," Tay whispered, watching. "Fight it."

Link continued to breath heavily, as Ganondorf's voice grew eerily close. 'The true darkness inside your mind will rule you. You will crumble. Your mind will be tainted. You will be my servant.' Link let out a scream of pain.

Hakkai woke up startled, staring at Link in shock. Tears filled his eyes, when he saw him. Tay placed his son in Colin's arm. "Take him to Kaylyn and Aveil! Now!" His voice commanded, as he continued to watch Link.

Link felt his body surrendering, but his will was stronger. He wasn't about to let Ganondorf hurt anyone. He pushed himself to his feet, not looking at Tay. He looked around and saw what he was aiming for. "Tay, tell everyone how sorry I am." Tay was confused until Link grabbed the blue ceramic ocarina. He grunted in pain, before he brought the precious ocarina to his lips. He closed his eyes and played the Song of Time.

"Link!" Tay shouted in shock. He reached for Link, when a blue light engulfed Link. Within seconds, Link was gone from sight.

Link landed somewhere with a loud thud. A small sigh escaped his lips, when he lost consciousness.

x~X~x

Tay stood there in complete shock. Realization crossed over his face, while sadness filled his eyes. Link left...to save them all from Ganondorf. He nobly took himself away from them and went to another time. Tay made a fist, closing his eyes. 'I hope I see you again..my friend.'

Colin ran in and stared at Tay. "What happened? Where is he?"

"He played the ocarina," was all Tay could say.

Colin's eyes widen in shock. He was shocked that Link did that, but as he stood there thinking about, it made sense. Link played the instrument to protect them all. He was certainly a brave man. Colin jerked his head up, looking at Tay. "Perhaps we should go check on Zelda." Tay nodded, following Colin from the room.

Once they entered the room that Kaylyn was in with Aveil, Little Colin, and Hakkai, their expressions were solemn. In one glance, Aveil and Kaylyn knew something was up.

Aveil looked towards the doorway. "Johameli?" She called her most trusted friend and right hand guard. "Take Little Colin and Hakkai to the Archery Range. I need to talk with her royal majesty, his royal majesty, and his right hand man." The Gerudo nodded, smiling at the two young children that followed her. Once they were out of sight and earshot, she turned to Tay. "Explain to me what happened." She was seating in a wicker chair, that was covered with a blanket and a soft pillow. Her right leg was crossed over her left leg.

Tay leaned back slightly in the wicker chair he occupied. His right ankle rested on top of his left leg. He stole a glance at Aveil, while he was gathering his thoughts. "Link is gone. That much is certain. I believe we are to live the rest of our lives without his presence in this timeline."

Aveil looked at Tay baffled. "You have to be kidding me. What about Ganondorf? How could he abandon us like that?"

Colin spoke up, leaning forward. "Allow us to explain." His voice was low. "Apparently, Ganondorf either gave up on retrieving the Triforce of Wisdom from Zelda or he succeeded. Either way, he was inside of Link once again." Aveil's eyes widen in horror. "However, my understanding is that Link played the Song of Time to protect us from Ganondorf. With Ganondorf inside of him, the Ganondorf in the time he returned to, simply cannot exist. I just fear how far back Link went. If he went as a child with Ganondorf inside of him, how do we save him? We simply cannot. We are stuck here, forced to live our lives without Link. We will never see him again."

Aveil allowed the information to process in her mind. She let out a small sigh. "I will really miss that Hylian. He was quite handsome." Kaylyn, Tay, and Colin all noticed the gerudo turned red from the mere mention of Link. Perhaps she did love him, but being the leader, she chose duty over love.

"It's a shame," Kaylyn whispered. "I do hope however, whenever Link went that things stay the way between us, Colin." The blonde only blushed at the bluette's words. "From what I gathered about Link, he is a trust worthy, noble young warrior. I do believe in my heart, we will see him again." She had her hands clasped together over her chest. The dark green eyes stared at Tay. "What do propose we are to do now, your majesty?"

Tay simply grinned, when he eyed the emerald eyed beauty. "How many times must we tell you to call us by our names and not our titles, Kaylyn? You are of noble blood. I am only noble by marriage." She blushed, as a giggled escaped her lips. "However, I believe we shall return to Hyrule Castle and tell Zelda of this important matter."

Tay walked into a another room an hour later and collected his belongings, when his eyes landed on the Master Sword. His eyes widen in shock, as it disappeared from his sight. He remembered his words to Link nearly 6 years ago. 'Only one worthy of the title of "Hero of Time" could pull the sword from the Pedestal and unlock its true power.' He knew Link was the only one who could wield the Sword of Evil's Bane. Perhaps it went to the timeline that Link was in. He bowed his head, hoping Link would be alright. Just as he began to step out, a blue light engulfed the entire area. Tay recognized this light as the same one that engulfed Link. He shut his eyes and within seconds, he felt warmth rushed over him.

When Tay reopened his eyes, he was sitting on the Throne back in Hyrule with Zelda by his side. Hakkai was staring at his dad, with confusion across his face. Tay suddenly realized all of them were transported to the timeline Link was transported to, thus ending the time they were originally in.

"Tay," Zelda whispered. Tay was at her side within seconds. "I used my sage powers and teleported all of us here to be with Link. I..I couldn't bare for us to be away from Link. If you are wondering, Ganondorf wasn't so lucky. " She raised her right hand, showing him the Triforce of Wisdom shining brightly on her hand.

"So overall, you're fine?" Tay asked her. She nodded softly, as Hakkai walked over to her. Hakkai embraced his parents, a smile crossed over all their faces.

Colin opened his eyes, realizing he was in his bed at Hyrule Castle. Looking to his left, he gasped seeing Kaylyn asleep, with her head on his shoulder. He gently placed his hand on her smooth cheek. He leaned towards her, closing his eyes. He touched her lips with his own softly. A soft groan escaped the young woman, as Colin pulled away. The two of them opened their eyes at the same time.

"Colin?" Kaylyn sounded slightly confused.

"Yeah," he whispered. "I am just as confused as you are. I never expected something like this to happen." He got to his feet, holding his hand out to her. "Let us see if we can find Tay. He might know what is going on." She only nodded, as she followed him from the room. They both stopped, when they saw Link's father Eagus. He was standing there with Malon, who was holding Nayru. They three of them looked shocked.

"Colin?" Eagus whispered, staring at the young man. Malon turned to him and saw the expression on his face.

"How is this possible that..." He didn't even finish his sentence. He turned to Kaylyn. "I think I get it. When Link played the ocarina, someone must have transported all of us here."

Kaylyn looked at him hopeful. "Well, that is a good thing, is it not? We can all continue to be with Link and everyone else."

Colin looked a little worried. "But remember...Ganondorf is in Link again." Both Malon and Eagus gasped hearing the news.

"Again?" Eagus asked in a strained voice. "Who was Ganondorf in before being inside Link?

"Zelda," A voice behind them whispered. They all turned, seeing Tay standing there with Zelda, Hakkai, and Little Colin. "I am glad Zelda brought all of us to this time to be together." Tay explained to the shocked group. "I am also happy to see you guys are back, Malon, Nayru...Eagus." The moment Little Colin saw his mother, he was at her side. She had gone down to sit on her heels and hugged Little Colin, who hugged back. Tears strolled down her face before she stood back up. She wiped the tears from her eyes. She watched Tay and Eagus closely.

Eagus knew things between him and Tay would be slightly tense. "It's good to be back, Tay. I am sorry I have lied to you all those years ago."

"It's okay," Tay whispered, holding up his hand. "I am just happy to know my friends had not treated me differently when we found out who my biological father was. But in a way, you are my dad." Eagus' eyes widen. "Allow me to explain. Anyone can be a father, but it takes a man to be a dad. You did raise me and you did look after me."

Eagus scratched the back of his head, grinning. Everyone instantly knew Link did that frequently. Eagus and Link were definitely father and son. "Thank you, Tay."

Tay nodded, before he turned his full attention the the beautiful red-head. "Malon, are you going to be okay?"

Malon held her daughter closer, patting Little Colin on the head. "Yes, I believe so. I just want Link to be himself again."

"We all do," Zelda whispered. "I am going to talk to the sages and ask them for their advice." They all nodded, before Zelda vanished to the Sacred Realm. Malon took her kids with her, as she went in search of Impaz.

Eagus stood there with Colin and Tay. "Can someone explain to me what I missed please?" Colin and Tay looked at each other, both knowing Eagus would be extremely upset when he heard about the banishment. Colin bowed his head, before he launched into the entire story. Eagus listened silently. Upon hearing what occurred with the banishment, his eyes flared, but he didn't say anything. Once Colin was finished, Eagus nodded. "Thank you for informing me, Colin. Now Tay." He gained the King's attention. "Am I still the leader of the soldiers under Link and Colin?"

Tay nodded, before turning to Colin. "You still maintain the status I gave you until we save Link," Tay's voice was low. "Is that clear?" They both nodded, hoping that they could save Link.


Author's Note: Shorter than I hoped, but here you go. I don't want to reveal to much. For all of those wondering, because my BETA asked me the same question. what happened in Link's mind? Basically the way I see it, there were "Mini Version of Link and Ganondorf" in Link's mind. I know that sounds so weird, but that is how I pictured it. No one was expecting all of them to return to the time together, were you? Next chapter will reveal Ganondorf's motives (perhaps) and Link will show courage. I love Link.

Question: If you could create an Oc for The Legend of Zelda, what would they be like and their age?

I have a character named Kina, who will be introduced in a story I am writing with my Mini-Me, AreiaCananaid. Check out her stories, which are epic. Anyways, our story (which is still being planned out and a crossover) has a young 16 year old named Kina. She is part of the Kingdom that Marth (from Fire Emblem) is from. She is on the council (so young) and one of his most trusted companions. Let me tell you something, putting Ike, Link, and Marth in the same story (that is NOT Super Smash Bros Brawl) was quite a challenge. However, my Mini-Me and I are up for the challenge. Hopefully you will read our work. The name of that account is 'Yareiami' so look under my favorite author's or use the search bar. Add it and stay updated. I don't want to reveal too much about Kina, haha.
