The Legend of Zelda: Time of Darkness

Chapter 11: Race Against Time
By: Courtney "Master Gamer" Johnson

NOTES: Dark Gamer requested Pig Ganon be included. He is, but only for a second. I hate that ugly beast! He's easy and, quite honestly I think he just doesn't belong. I've only been using a few Oot elements like the tower and the beginning. This really wasn't meant to be a rewrite.

Comments are welcomed and very much appreciated.

Flashback to Last Time:

Link stood up and looked at Ganondorf. He was on his hands and knees hacking up at least a pound of blood.
"How the heck could the King of Evil be beaten by a kid?" he managed to choke out before falling to the floor, seemingly dead.
Zelda was just waking up.
"Ugh, Link, what happened?" Zelda weakly asked, before standing up.
"I think I killed Ganondorf." came Link's reply.
Little did they both know that Ganondorf was summoning the power of the triforce…
They soon found out when the tower began to shake.
"Link, we've got to get out of here, and quick!" Zelda began,
"With his last breath, and the power of the triforce, he is trying to kill us in the tower's rubble!!!"
"Oh, my God! Let's move!" Link shouted over the rumble of the collapsing tower.
"OK, follow me!" Zelda yelled.
Though they had little knowledge of what terror awaited them at the bottom…


---

Zelda and Link ran down the first flight of stairs, though it only took ten seconds, it seemed like an eternity to both of them. Parts of the ceiling were falling everywhere. Link followed behind Zelda, who happened to be a very fast runner.

The two went down the first three flights with absolutely no trouble.

And then it happened…

As soon as Zelda and Link entered the room four stalfos appeared.

Two of the Stalfos held back Zelda, while the other two fought Link.

Zelda bravely fought against the two Stalfos that were restraining her.

She pulled and yanked but it was no use. Zelda still wouldn't give up though.

Meanwhile Link was fighting the other two stalfos. Suddenly both of them disappeared. Link looked around, completely confused, until he felt something hack through his left shoulder. He dropped his sword and fell to his knees, his right hand clasped over his shoulder. Out of the corner of his eye Link saw the two Stalfos and rolled away just in time to avoid being slashed again.

Link dived and grabbed his Master Sword. Still lying down on his back, Link swung his sword and cut both Stalfos in two.
Then, he made his way to the other two stalfos. One of them hit Zelda on the head with their shield before both of them went over to Link. Link swung his sword again and both of the Stalfos were cut in two.

Zelda awakened.
"Link you're hurt!" Zelda concerningly noticed.
"I'll live." Link responded.
Link proceeded to run down the steps faster then he ever had in his life. Link had only one more flight to run. Zelda was getting very much ahead of him and by the time Zelda was out, link was still fifty yards away. Then, he heard an awful noise behind him, that of an explosion. Link ran even faster now as debris was coming up from behind, and fast too.

He was now only five feet from the exit now, Link jumped and dived down, covering his head with his Left hand and shield as debris shot out of the floating castle, barely missing his head.

Link then ran over to where Zelda was standing, as he watched what was the castle descend straight down into the ground.

A roar emitted from the ruins of the castle. Link walked over to where the sound waves seemed to come from. Link covered his head with his shield as some of the rubble shot over to where he was. Link looked up, only to see an extremely bloody Ganondorf floating in the air staring at him, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and it seemed as if he was fully energized whereas ten minutes ago, he had been seemingly dead.

Ganondorf pulled his arms back and yelled some incoherent lines. He started to grow an eerie blue as he transformed into the legendary beast Ganon.

He stayed that way for a full minute, before he reverted back to Ganondorf.

"WHAT?" What the heck is goin' on here?" Ganondorf madly asked.
"No matter, you will still be mincemeat when I'm done with you Link!!!" He added.

Link stepped up and drew his Master Sword. Ganondorf did the same.

The two locked eyes and readied themselves because they knew that one would not make it out alive, that this was it, the final battle; Hylian against Gerudo, Good against Evil, life against death, and the future of the planet…
