I found myself in the Skyview Spring, the familiar babbling waterfalls and resplendent fairies were as comforting as the statue of the Goddess Hylia, whose warm smile rested on me as I slowly walked closer.

It was night, though, the sun was no longer shining upon the waterfalls. Only a quiet moonlight was giving the faintest light, bringing with it the echoes of the forest creatures and a mystery that all nights carry with them.

"Link…" I heard behind me.

When I turned around, I saw her, glowing brighter than the stars in the sky as she held her golden harp to her chest.

"Zelda!" I exclaimed, "You're okay! Ghirahim took you and—"

I would have run to her, embraced her, if not for what I noticed in her eyes.

They were full of pain and betrayal as she looked upon me.

"What is it, Zelda? What's wrong?"

"Isn't it obvious?" she responded as if she were bothered by the question.

"What?"

"You failed me, Link. Don't you remember?"

"What…"

"This can't be…"

"I failed you?" I asked, not understanding, "How could that be? Zelda, I don't get it…did…did I die?"

"I couldn't have…it was just a broken foot."

"This has to be dream."

"No, Link," she said as her eyebrows furrowed, "I died."

"No…" I said in disbelief

"You let me die," she continued.

"No, Zelda, listen to me," I said desperately, "that…can't be. How could I let you die? I would never do that! I love you! Please!"

But nothing I said mattered. She closed her eyes and whispered.

"I chose wrong," before she started to fade away.

"Zelda!" I yelled desperately as she disappeared and my vision started to blacken.

"Zelda!" I exclaimed to the dark abyss, "Zelda…"

"He's not waking up, Granny," I heard a familiar voice echo, "what do I do?"

"Someone's trying to wake me up."

"I…I feel like I know that voice."

"Patience, young one," said an older voice.

"He's coming to," said the first voice.

"I do know that voice….that's…that's Groose' voice…I have to tell him…"

"Groose," I said to the abyss, "he…he took her…she's in danger…"

"I know, Link," I heard as my eyes slowly opened to see his concerned yellow eyes, my vision slightly blurred, "but we're gonna get her back."

"He took…Zelda," I said sleepily, barely aware of what was happening.

"He's still delirious," Groose said as he looked behind him, "Granny, Zelda doesn't have a chance without him. I…I can't do it."

"For goodness sake, calm down," the old voice said, "look in his pouch, there should be a bottle with shimmering pink liquid."

"Umm…let me see," said Groose, "uhh…Here it is! I found it!"

"Good," the old voice continued, "now, open it next to his right foot."

"All right," Groose said, "Come on Link, we need you…"

My vision started to clear as I heard the sound of a distinct shimmering. My eyes opened and I sat up slowly, trying to make sense of everything.

It suddenly all came back to me as I sat there, with Groose and the old woman staring at me expectantly.

"Link…" Groose started.

I stood up quickly in silence, their sad, concerned gazes staying on me as I picked up my sword and shield and hurried to the Gate of Time.

"My dream…" my mind stirred as I faced the bright blue hues of the gate, stopped by my thoughts.

"I…I can't let her die…"

"I couldn't bear it."

"Groose…if he hurts her…I…I don't know if I'll be able to focus…" I said without turning around.

"Then you better believe I'll be right behind you. You just make sure that demon gets what's comin' to him."

I nodded before following where Ghirahim had taken Zelda.
