Act Thirteen
[In the Castle Town, the citizens watch happily as the Castle Town celebrates the Hyrule victory with a parade.]
Parade Leader:
Make way for the heroes of Hyrule!
[Link, the Gang of Three and the other soldiers follow
glumly behind, and behind them is a large Great fairy costume. Malon comes riding up beside Link]
Malon:
Link!
Link:
Malon?
Malon:
The Gerudo are alive! They're in the city!
Link:
You don't belong here, Malon. Go home.
Malon:
Link, I saw them in the mountains! You have to believe me!
Link:
Why should I?
Malon:
Why else would I come back? You said you'd trust Mido. Why is Malon any different?
(Link rides around her. To the Gang of Three)
Keep your eyes open. I know they're here. Yah!
Tatl:
(As Malon dismounts Epona)
Now where are you going?
Malon:
To find someone who will believe me!
[She hurries off into the crowd. The army climbs the steps to the Castle, followed by the Great Fairy costume. King Toad meets them.]
King Toad:
Everyone! Heaven smiles down upon the Middle Kingdom!
Hyrule will sleep safely tonight, thanks to our brave warriors!
Malon:
(To a Koopa)
Sir, the King's in danger!
Koopa:
(Turns away)
Huh!
Malon:
But the Gerudo are HERE!
(To a Zora)
Please, you have to help!
Zora:
(Turns away)
Eh!
Malon:
(To Tatl)
No one will listen!
Tatl:
Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, did you say something?
Malon:
Tatl ...
Tatl:
Hey, you're a girl again, remember?
Link:
Your Majesty, I present to you the sword of Ganondorf.
King Toad:
I know what this means to you, Captain Link. Your father would have been very proud.
Link:
For the last time he's not-
[Ganondorf's hawk suddenly swoops down and grabs the sword. It flaps up to the roof, where a line of stone gargoyles are resting. One of the gargoyles moves and takes the sword. Gerudo jump out of the Great Fairy costume. One of them grabs the King and takes him into the castle.]
Link:
No!
Wario:
C'mon!
[They run up to the palace, but the Gerudo close the great doors. On the roof, Ganondorf laughs. The army uses a statue to try to break into the palace.]
Malon:
They'll never reach the King in time.
(She looks around, then at the tall pillars by the side of the palace. She whistles to them.)
Hey guys! I've got an idea!
[The Gang of Three looks at each other and then follows Malon, dropping the statue. They all take off their equipment, and put on dresses and makeup, and they use the silk belts around their waists to climb up the pillars. Next to them, Link takes off his cape and climbs up. Inside the palace, on a balcony, the Gerudo hold the King. Ganondorf sticks his head in their faces.]
Ganondorf:
(To the King)
Boo.
(To his soldiers)
Guard the door!
(To the King)
Your walls and armies have fallen. And now it's your turn. Bow to me.
