You have chosen the door with the bottle of Lon-Lon milk.
Link grinned a little at this. Of course he knew exactly what this universe was about. "Malon,"
He wondered what this place was like? She was such a quiet girl, but always happy to see him. What would his life be with her?
**************
He found himself standing in Lon-lon ranch. Also he was dressed in farm overalls.
"Morning Link," called Malon from outside the gates. "Breakfast is ready," she said.
"Uh yeah. I'm coming," he said as he followed up to her. Together, they headed for the house.
"Have you finished watering the crops?" asked Malon.
"Well... I think so." said Link.
"It was such a good idea of yours Link. Expanding our crop area has really helped our income." she commented. "Perhaps we can expand the ranch now."
"I'm glad it paid off," said Link. Quietly, he tried to piece together what has happened here. Simply, he was a farmer, working on the ranch. However, he wasn't sure if he was married to Malon. For one thing, there was no ring on her finger. But then again, she once said to him she didn't wear expensive jewellery when working.
He also saw Epona in the stables. The horse watched him back, as if knowing the person before him was not completely her master.
"Is something wrong Link? You're very quiet," said Malon.
"Um, nothing's wrong. I was just thinking a little" said Link.
"I know... those evil spirits. Have you been able to figure out anything?"
Link tried to think. Evil spirits? Was what happened in Termina now happening here?
Malon held Link's arm. "I get so scared when I hear their sounds... and those lights! So bright..."
"I won't let anything happen to you Malon," assured Link.
"I know. I am just glad you are here," said Malon. "Why did you choose me Link? Especially when you had to give up all your item..."
"It's okay," said Link. 'So this Link doesn't have any of his items,' thought Link. But he had them now.
"We could have used Ingo's help as well."
"Well... yeah." 'I wonder what happened to him,' thought Link.
"I never knew he would just run away like that." explained Malon.
"It didn't surprise me," said Link understanding more. "Have... we lost anything?"
"Not yet. I counted the cows as usual. All are present," explained Malon thankfully. "But you shouldn't have to keep up fighting like this. Sooner or later..."
"I'll do it as long as I have to. I'll find a way to stop it for good," said Link. He remembered these spirits from ten years ago. In his journey though Termina, the farm was attacked by sky spirits.
"They're coming again tonight Link. I can feel it," said Malon.
It has been so long since Link did anything like this. He hoped he still had the aim for this work.
They entered the house. Link sat down, eating the breakfast. It was simple food, just cerial and bread. He had some fresh water with it.
Malon ate in silence. Link could see she was worried. These spirits threatened to take everything from her.
He had to stop these attacks.
**********
As the afternoon progressed, Link continued to do the many chores required to run the ranch. He thought he would hate it, but he started to get an appreciation for the work that this family did. But something was missing. Where was Talon?
Eventually, he got his answer, when he saw a solitary gravestone outside the ranch.
Looking at the date, he realised it wasn't that long ago. Perhaps a few months, although he wasn't sure on today's date either.
"Talon," he said to the grave. "I... don't know what to say," he continued. How did he die? Being a spirit, Talon must know he was not the real Link from this dimension. "I want you to know... I intend to help Malon. I will do everything in my power to stop the spirits. I swear it," he said. "I don't know how yet though," he thought.
From what Malon said, he figured he had kept the spirits away by doing the same thing as in Termina. But Malon was right, this couldn't go on forever.
He looked at the mirror of Time. "Why am I here?" He asked it.
The mirror started to glaze over.
Link started to see what would have happened had he never arrived. The Link of this world continued to fight, but eventually he makes a fatal mistake, and Malon is taken away from the Earth. Alone, this Link tended the ranch. Malon eventually returned, a few days later, but was never quite the same. The spirits had removed a part of her.
Somehow, Link had to stop this.
"What do I do?" He asked again to himself. He tried to think, treating these spirits as the same monsters he always fought. Somewhere, they had to have a weakness... they only appeared at night. Could light be their weakness?
He still had his light arrows, but he tried that in Termina as well. They didn't like the light, but it didn't stop them much. Perhaps the sun itself? Even Link couldn't make the sunrise happen faster... or maybe he can.
He took out the ocarina of Time. He still had it from his origanal world. It was apparant that the other Link had to give it back to Zelda when he chose Malon. Why this was, he declined to analyse.
"I have an idea," smiled Link. Those spirits were going to pay.
**************************************
Night fell across ranch. Malon shivered in the house. "It's time Link" said Malon.
"Don't worry Malon. If this works, those spirits won't be back ever" promised Link.
"I hope so." said Malon. "You know Link," she smiled a little. "You promised that once the ranch is a success, and those spirits are driven away... we can start our own family."
Link turned to her, slightly red. "Those spirits will be gone. Trust me" said Link.
"Okay. Here are your arrows," she gave it. "Good luck." She kissed him.
********************
Link went to Epona who was waiting for him. "Okay Epona, time to get to work."
It was time.
The lights suddenly came alive. Circles of light lit the sky, far more then in Termina. The terrible spirits were inching their way to the house, in huge numbers. Link started to understand why the other Link was having a hard time. With so many spirits, even he with all his experience would be pushed to stop them from overwhelming the farmhouse.
Link started using the light arrow, destroying spirit among sprit.
Soon, they were all visible. This was his chance!
He played the sun song.
The sun started to rise immediately, pushing back the darkness of the night.
The spirits suddenly stopped in confusion. However, it did not stop them.
They continued to advance.
"No," thought Link. His plan didn't work. He started to shoot spirits faster and faster, using up all the arrows he had. He then got a refill and fired them even more trying to keep the house safe. Each shot was completely accurate in aim.
The round circle suddenly appeared above the house.
He could feel the ground give way, as if some unearthly power was making everything gravitate to it.
Link started shooting at the sphere, but they all missed. He had one arrow left.
"I have to make this shot count," he said.
***********************
How lucky is Link? (What do you think will give the happy ending? It might not be the obvious choice... or it might be...)
Time for YOU to decide....
1) Link successfully hits the sphere [go to 3]
2)Link doesn't hit the sphere. [go to 4]
3) Link and Malon? No way! Get me out of this dump. [Choose another path]
