Scene 14: Ganondorf's Revenge

(Cut to outside where dark clouds circle the castle. The castle shakes. The roof rips off and the King and Link duck.)

LINK: Whoa!

KING: Bless my soul. What is this? What is going on?

(His crown lifts off his head. When he grabs it, his whole body flies up, then he is stripped of all his clothing except his boxer shorts. The clothing reappears on Ganondorf.)

GANONDORF: Heh, heh, heh!

KING: Ganondorf, you vile betrayer!

KAEPORA: That's King Vile Betrayer to you.

LINK: Oh, yeah? Well, we'll just see about that! (Pulls off his own cap, but finds it empty.) The Triforce!

GANONDORF: Finders keepers, Sarasbahba.

(They both look up and see a giant Farore, now appearing as Din, lifting the castle into the clouds. Link whistles and Carpet flies up to greet her. They fly up near Din's head.)

LINK: Farore! No!

DIN: Sorry, kid... I'm got a new master now. (She places the palace on top of a mountain.)

KING: Ganondorf, I order you to stop!

GANONDORF: There's a new order now... my order! Finally, you will bow to me!

(The King bows, but Zelda does not.)

ZELDA: We'll never bow to you!

KAEPORA: Why am I not surprised?

GANONDORF: If you will not bow before a king, then you will cower before a sorcerer! (To Din) Din, my second wish... I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world!

(Din extends her finger. Link tries to stop her, but he cannot, and a lightning bolt strikes Ganondorf, returning him to his normal look.)

KAEPORA: Ladies and gentleman, a warm Hyrule welcome for Sorcerer Ganondorf!

GANONDORF: Now where were we? Ah, yes... abject humiliation! (He zaps Zelda and the King with his staff, and they both bow to him. Impa comes running at him. He zaps Impa, and the wolfos turns into a household wolf.) Down, girl! (Lifts Zelda's chin with his staff) Oh princess, there's someone I'm dying to introduce you to.

LINK: (off-camera) Ganondorf! Get your hands off her!

(Ganondorf zaps Link. Carpet flies away.)

GANONDORF: (singing)

Prince Linqui, yes, it is he, but not as you know him.

Read my lips and come to grips with reality.

(Ganondorf brings the two of them closer in the air.)

Yes, meet a blast from your past

Whose lies were too good to last

Say hello to your precious Prince Linqui!

(Ganondorf zaps Linqui back into Link.)

KAEPORA: Or should we say Link?

LINK: Zelda, I tried to tell you.

GANONDORF: So Linqui turns out to be just a faerie boy

Just a con, need I go on? Take it from me.

His personality flaws

Give me adequate cause

To send him packing on a one-way trip

So his prospects take a terminal dip

His assets frozen, the venue chosen

Is the ends of the earth, whoopee!

So long,

KAEPORA: Good bye, see ya!

GANONDORF: Ex-Prince Linqui!

(Ganondorf has zapped Navi back to normal. He sends the two of them into a tall pillar, then launches it like a rocket, but not before Carpet can get in. Fade to black. Then cut to Snowhead, where the pillar crashes and rolls. It finally comes to a stop. Link emerges, obviously very cold.)

LINK: Navi? Navi! (He looks back at a shivering pile of snow.) Oh, this is all my fault... I should have freed Farore when I had the chance. (He digs out Navi and cradles her inside his vest.) I'm sorry, Navi... I made a mess of everything, somehow. I gotta go back and set things right. (He starts to walk through the snow and eventually steps on a frozen Carpet.) Carpet! (He looks up and sees Carpet is pinned by the pillar. He tugs to try and free Carpet. He can't do it, so he begins to remove snow from the base of the pillar.) Navi, start digging! That's it! (Finally, enough snow has been removed, and the pillar beings to roll. Link runs away, looks back, then slides into place. The pillar rolls over him, and when it is gone, Link and Navi are left sitting in the patch of snow made by the window of the pillar.) Yeah! All right! (Navi clings to Link's head as Carpet shakes off the snow and rushes over to pick them up.) Now, back to Hyrule! Let's go!
