Disclaimer: I do not own the whole or any part of Legend of Zelda series. Anyone who has told you otherwise is lying. Also, I did some checking, and it would appear that I might have to hand Nintendo rights to everything in this story. But legal issues surrounding fan-made stories are incredibly complicated, so I'll have to find someone who can easily explain it to me. For now, I think I just don't own any concept in this story that's specific to The Legend of Zelda. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Zelda's right hand was trembling quite noticeably. For one thing, it was making the Sacred Scepter vibrate wildly in the air. For another, she was clearly irritated that it wouldn't stop.
"Damn," she spat. "How could he actually have done it? There's no way the goddesses would let their Sacred Power be in this much danger!"
Ganondorf approached her. "Lady Zelda, if I may make a suggestion, there is a part of the Triforce Legend that I try not to think about."
Zelda glared at him. "Well, what is it? I mean, I probably know about it already. Just tell me what's on your mind."
"Well," began Ganondorf, "You know that the world was created such that it related to the attributes of the three goddesses, right?"
"Yeah. So?" Zelda hoped he had a point. And she hoped it would make her feel better. The twitching hand was really getting on her nerves.
"The other half of that legend is that when the Triforce was created on the goddesses' departure, the Black Triangle and Three Reds were created in a Dark World. As of yet, I have never seen even a hint of a way to get into this Dark World, but obviously this legend has some merit to it. As I told you before, Princess, everything in the world is balanced, just like the goddesses."
The statements intrigued Zelda. Was there no end to Ganondorf's knowledge of the Triforce? He always proved right when he spoke of it. Hell, if he wasn't their enemy, Ganondorf might qualify for a position among the Sages.
"If I may go on, Princess, I believe that some major reaction is causing that twitch that irks you so." Ganondorf was sincerely hoping to not get onto the Princess' bad side today. He would help in every way he could, even if it was just to protect himself from her power.
"I know that, Ganondorf," replied Zelda coldly. "I can feel things that I couldn't feel before. They're not my feelings, but they're not general feelings, either. They're feelings of a certain individual. And that individual is the one with the Black Triangle and Three Reds, as I can feel that, too. But what the source of such a threatening feeling of power could be, I don't know."
"Would you like me to hypothesize, Princess?"
"Please. It may help, and talking with you certainly keeps my mind off of matters like this irritating twitch."
"Everything in this world is balanced. Remember, not only do you have the Triforce, you also have a transformed version of the Master Sword. There must be a sword out there that counteracts the sacred power of the Master Sword. However, I regret to inform you that I have never heard of any such sword." Ganondorf had a feeling that he shouldn't have made that last comment, but he decided to try it nonetheless.
"That makes sense, Ganondorf. Thank you. In any case, whatever new power he has, he intends to bring it here and confront me with it. You and I must work together to stop him. Should we be able to detain him, I will charge him with treason and have him executed. That's what this all boils down to, really. Treason, that is." Certainly, Zelda's mind was as far away as possible from her twitch, now.
Gaonondorf spoke up again. "Princess, may I ask a question that might qualify as somewhat personal?"
"Sure," says Zelda. "It's been interesting talking to you so far. But I reserve the right to refuse to answer for any reason."
"Fair enough. My question is this: why do you guard the Sacred Scepter so closely? I don't think I've seen you put it down since the Master Sword transformed." Ganondorf really tried not to tread sensitive ground.
"An interesting question, and one I'm willing to answer." Zelda looked at the Sacred Scepter, which had settled down a little. "You've never seen me put it down because I haven't put it down. In fact, I can't put it down. The Triforce won't let me. But I wanted that. The Sacred Scepter is what's keeping the Triforce inside me, instead of dispelling it after a single wish. Why would I ever put it down?"
"Ah. An interesting explanation." Ganondorf was happy to have gotten to know a little more about the Princess. She mostly kept to herself because she was busy keeping tabs on everyone and everything in New Hyrule. But he knew that this girl couldn't last forever. Even he saw something in the way she used the goddesses' power that he saw as "wrong." He was almost sad that he would probably witness the imminent fight. "Thank you for answering such a question. Shall I leave you so that we may both go about our business?"
"No," said Zelda, "Stay here. Even if there's silence, I'd enjoy the company for the moment. Besides, there's no telling when the Three Reds will show up."
"As you wish, Princess." Ganondorf took a seat next to the Princess' throne.
