Disclaimer: I do not own any Legend of Zelda characters. This is a story I have created and not a part in anyway making me money... I am poor... and possibly more so now having written this...

Anyway, please enjoy, and if you find that I have any problems, misspellings, or even if I am terrible at this, tell me... but be respectful. Hope you like it!


I stand at my window, watching Zelda play in the gardens as Impa keeps a watchful eye on her. Impa is free now; the royal family is soon to be dead. I turn to my full-length mirror to primp myself. My jaw drops as a demonic face stares back at me.

"What have I done to myself?" I whisper. Underneath the dried blood lays an old tired face, one not fit for a twenty-nine year old. My cheeks sunken in, my eyelids a thin flap of skin resting, my lips wrinkled and dry; I look like and old man. My receding hairline is further back than it has ever been, making my olive skin carry almost a green glow. I stare lazily at myself, I have no more care for my looks, I may have considered myself handsome in another time… but now, I remind myself of an oversized, sewer rat.

I rush out of my room and into the long corridor. Three Gerudos march towards me, two of which stare at me with wide eyes and slacked jaws. "My king," they bend to one knee.

I raise my arms for them to stand, "There is no time for such formality." I scratch at the dry blood, "Get the princess and report back to me- if anyone tries to stop you…" I narrow my eyes, "Kill them."

"What's going on?" one questions as I rush past them.

I stop and turn to her, "We are overthrowing Hyrule's beloved royal family. Now find the girl and bring her to me!" I turn away making my cape swirl majestically. I feel a smile pull at the corners of my mouth. I rush down the stairs and see a guard standing with blood on his hands. He sees me and readies a blade. I shake my head and raise my neck waiting for him to charge.

He races to me with a holler, but in his youth, he has not perfected a true guard's ability. I use my elbow and bash the blade out of his hands. He yelps as I reach my hand out to his throat. I hold his body firm and twist his neck. I watch him drop to the floor; his neck bent in an unnatural way. I cringe as he blinks. He is not dead, but only paralyzed. His eyes look to me with terror as I raise my large foot above his head. I turn my head as I drive it down. The crunch makes me gage. I lift my foot and slip a little on the blood stuck to the bottom of my shoe. I turn to see a Gerudo run towards me, huffing, "King Dragmire, the princess is on her way out of the city-,"

"Send for more Gerudos; be sure they make it here before sundown. The castle will be ours within this hour. We will need more women to help guard." She nods her head and I race out of the foyer.

I get to the stables quickly, my women already having killed the majority of the soldiers and guards. I grip the reins on my stallion and mount him. He knows something is in the air; he can taste it. We race out of the castle grounds and into the city. The clouds are black and ominous as we ride through the city. Rain begins to fall hard and I catch a glimpse of a white horse. I charge my stallion onto the drawbridge and stop as I lose sight.

I growl, "I lost her!" I feel my nose cringe with my words. The rain has washed me, rinsing the red mask off. I see a small figure, "You, over there! Little kid!" I holler over the rain. The child turns to me and I play sweetly, "You must have seen the pretty white horse gallop past just now… Where did it go?" I growl as my anger pumps me, "Answer me!" I bark impatiently.

The child backs away and shakes his head slightly. He fears me. Lightning flashes through the sky, and for a moment, I see his face. It is Link.

I raise my head, "So, you think you can protect them from me… You've got guts, kid." I sigh looking down at him. His mouth parts as his blue eyes look up to me with a hint of anger. His arms reach behind him and pull out a small dagger and a shield. "Heh, heh, heh," I smile looking down at him. "You want a piece of me?" I cock my head trying to hide my smile, "Very funny! I like your attitude."

Suddenly, something strange casts over me. I feel a cooling sensation on my fingertips. 'Raise your hand, my boy,' Demise's voice tosses in my mind. I hold my hand up and face it towards Link. Purple energy flows towards my palm and builds up. A light beams from my hand and focusses towards the boy. He lets out a holler and slides to the ground. He sits up, his soul still ready for a fight.

"Pathetic, little fool!" I watch his hands tremble as he looks to me. "Do you know who you are dealing with?" I bellow wishing he would not sit back up. My nostrils fare, "I am Ganondorf! And soon, I will rule the world!" My stallion rears up and releases a guttural neigh. I clutch my heels to his side and he races off into the darkness of the rain. I do not look back, my heart is set on finding the princess and making sure she never sees the day she reigns over Hyrule.

I feel a cold sweat bead on my forehead. I turn the stallion around and race back to the castle. If Link had traveled to the future, he would have done so by the Master Sword. The horse treks through the market and into the grounds of the temple. The rain had stopped, and as I dismount, I splash mud and water up my legs. I march up the stairs and enter the building just in time to see Link play the Song of Time.

'He's after the Triforce, my love,' Demise muses into my head again. I close my eyes at his voice, 'If you get it before his hands touch it, you will reign supreme; everything will be yours, my love. Power over all and everything…' I nod and watch as Link enters the hidden room. I creep closer watching him as he raises the blade from its slumber. I hide in the shadows for a moment.

The room brightens with an unholy light. I fold my arms and release a laugh, "Excellent work!" I watch his face lose its color as he watches me, "I owe it all to you kid!" I watch him dissipate. In the light, I see the Triforce. It shines brightly making my lips curl into a sinister smile.

I raise a hand to it and touch the smooth gold. Suddenly, the Triforce splits into three pieces. I watch it for a moment as it rises to the sky. Two pieces shoot out and away while one dives down to me. It knocks me back and I lay motionless on the cold stone floor.


"Ganondorf," I hear him calling. "Ganondorf," he rings again. I open my eyes and see Demise standing above me. I look around and see we are not in his home; he stands in the same room as the pedestal. I stand quickly with confusion looming heavily over my head.

"What are you doing?" I gasp, "How did you-,"

He shakes his head, "Calm down." He circles me for a moment, "Do you wish for ultimate power?" his voice rises with the question. I nod slowly. "Good," he smiles, "I can make that happen-,"

"How?" I invert my eyebrows, "The Triforce is gone-,"

"Ah, but you forget, my dear son, I am no mortal, I am the closest thing to a god you will ever see in living flesh," his voice hisses. "Now, do you wish for my help?"

"What are you going to do?"

"That energy blast… did you like it?" he grins. "It was only a taste of what I am capable of doing. If you let me use you as a host; I can make you so powerful your heart will explode with joy."

"What do you mean host?" I turn my head slightly.

He folds his arm across his chest, "I can only be here in this realm so long as I have a human form. I was going to use Loretta, but seeing, as she is gone, my power has only built. I am capable of being here for only a short time. In order for me to be with you and guide you," he sighs, "I must have a human form…" his red eyes watch me, "and who better to be my host that my own living flesh… my dear son."

"How will this benefit me?" I shrug.

His eyes slit and a smile appears, "The Triforce will grant you one wish if you find it. I can help you find it." he grabs my hand, "See this glowing?" I look and see a triangular shape glow gold on the back of my hand. "This is your piece; the Triforce of Power. You see, my love, you were created to wield it. Use my help, and you will be as powerful as you wish to be." He lets go of my hand, "Now," he chuckles, "What do you say? Would you like help from your old father?"

I lick my lips, "Yes."

Everything around us turns black, blacker than night, blacker than black itself. All I can see is his glowing hair and a hand rest on my forehead. It pushes my jewel up and I feel an incredible pain. I scream as the pain fills my head. It flows into from my forehead to my toes, and just when I believe I will faint; it stops. The room brightens and all is how should be. I bend over breathing heavy. Demise is gone.

I feel my forehead where his hand was and feel an 'x' like scar. It stings to touch; the scar is callused and old, yet new. I fix my jewel and it lies on top of the fresh scar. Something is different; my eyes feel like they are seeing everything for the first time. My body is filled with strength I have never dealt with before. I raise my arm and see the purple energy flow to my hand. I shoot it to the ceiling and it blasts before it hits anything. 'Patients, Ganondorf, this is only the beginning. Take baby steps for now… you have seven years to perfect everything," Demise's whispers fill my head. I am a new man; I am a powerful man.
