Don't Cry
This story is told from
Link's
point of View, before the
battle with Ganondorf
I gripped the Master Sword in my hand
And watched the Evil King
rise
He pulled out his staff,
ready to fight
Until I gazed into his
eyes
Suddenly, the whole room
froze
As I traveled back in
time
To see what his life was
like
Before darkness consumed
his mind.
Standing now
In a shadowed room
I stare into the mirror
To see someone else
staring back
A face of sadness, like
no one cares
A face that shows his
many fears
I touched my skin and
realized
I was…Ganondorf.
I heard children outside
Playing, not a care in
the world
When one of them came in
Nabooru, Queen of the
Gerudos.
"Come on Dorf, you're
missing all the fun!
We're testing how strong
we are, come and join us!"
I wanted to hide and run.
I stepped outside into
the hot desert sun
To see the girls pushing
boxes in the sand.
"It's your turn, Dorf!"
one of them called.
I walked up to the crate
Arms steady, ready.
Somehow, this felling in
my heart
Told me this would choose
my fate.
I started pushing it with
all my power
But it did not move an
inch
I ran and cowered.
I heard them outside.
"He's weak!"
A tear hit the ground.
I opened my eyes to be
back in the room
Where Ganondorf was
crying…
A light flashed from
above
And a being surrounded
with a red glow floated down
"Why?" He asked. "Why did
you put me here?"
The woman gently touched
his shoulder
"We put you here to test
your strength. Not bodily, but in your heart."
I watched it all, and
before she left
A tear of her own hit the
ground
And "Goodbye, my son,"
she wept.
She turned to me, and
then I saw
The power in her heart,
and the love for her son.
Then I realized, and I
whispered, "Din…"
With a slight smile, she
was gone
I jumped to the platform
where Ganondorf was
And saw him weeping,
asking why.
He wasn't evil…he just
needed a friend.
I put my hand on his
shoulder and said,
"Ganondorf, don't cry."

I really believe that
Ganondorf isn't that evil Hey, I'm not saying beating him at the end of the
game stinks, this is just one possible way why he wanted to take over Hyrule.
If someone ignores you and says you're weak, you'll wanna show them that you
CAN do something. I think that's what happened with Ganondorf. Well, this is
