Chapter 11
Shannon ran with Link on her side. "Navi, why didn't you heal Link!" yelled Shannon as they were running from guards. Navi yelled back, "Sorry Shannon! I needed more time!" Link, dangling from Shannon's side, kept his eyes closed from that pain of his back. "We got to get to a safe place and heal him!" yelled Shannon, "I know! Navi, quick, get into my pocket." Shannon took out a tiny ball. She slammed it on the ground and the place became misty. "We can make our getaway and hide somewhere for a short amount of time until the guards find us!" She climbed up a thick tree and stood still. When the mist went away, the guards lefted to check another area.
Shannon jumped down from the tree and laid Link down. "Ok Navi, come out and heal him," said Shannon. Navi flew out and got on top of Link. "Navi, it's you, I haven't seen you in a long time," said Link painfully. Navi smiled and went on with her healing. "Ok, I'm done, Link, you can get up now," said Navi. Link got up and looked at himself. "Thanks Navi," said Link. Navi stood on Link's hand and hug his finger. "Oh Link! It's been such a long time ever since I've seen you. Look at you! You're so big now! You look just like your future self! This time, I'm sticking with you until the end!" Link said, "That's nice to know Navi. Now, let's go to Gerudo Fortress." Link played Epona's Song. Shannon became Zelda, and Navi fluttered her wings.
When Epona came, Link put Zelda on Epona, then he went on. Link took out his small whip and made Epona gallop. "Link," Zelda said, "Doesn't it hurt when you whip Epona with that?" Link said, "Not at all really. Maybe just a pinch. Horses tend to have very thick skin." Zelda nodded. At Gerudo Valley, they saw that the bridge has been destroyed. Epona ran her fastest and jumped across the canyon. Zelda held tight on Link and closed her eyes. Zelda felt a thump and opened her eyes. She looked up and turned around. "Wow, we made it," she said. Link got off and saw a tent. Inside, was the Carpenters Boss. Link looked at him and saw that he was crying.
"What's wrong sir?" asked Link. The man cried, "Oh! My carpenters when to the Gerudo's Hideout! They said that they didn't want to be carpenters no more and that they wanted to leave to the Gerudo Fortress and become thieves!" "Link," Navi said, "This was like that time in the future when you had to rescue the carpenters from the Gerudo Hideout. Weren't they captured?" "That's right Navi," Link said, "Don't worry about it sir, we'll get them back." "Oh thank you so much!" the man said. Link, Zelda, and Navi went out the door.
"Hey Link," said Navi, "Ever since the Gerudo's took the carpenters, don't you think that they'll take us, too?" Link said, "Navi, don't worry, I've been here last time. Ofcourse they'll recognize me." "But that was in the future," said Navi. "Navi," Zelda said, "When you weren't here, we went to Gerudo Fortress to hide from Crenimus." Navi nodded and hid in Link's hood. "I think Navi is worried."
The three of them went into the Gerudo's Hideout and climbed up the stairs. "Hi you guys!" yelled Link. "Hold it! Stay right there and don't move! You are in violation of Gerudo Territory! Surrender now to make it easier for us! Or we'll have to do it the hard way!" yelled a Gerudo guard. Link and Zelda put their hands up. Navi flew into Link's hood. The Gerudo guard went up to Link and said, "Do you have a membership card to get in?" Link took it out. The Gerudo guard snatched it from Link and read the paper. "Haha," laughed the Gerudo guard. "What? Isn't it the membership paper?" asked Link. The Gerudo guard laughed and said, "Hey kid, we don't give these type of membership papers no more. Take them to a separate dungeon for the both of them." Link and Zelda gasped. Link said, "But you should know me! I'm Link, I'm the one who came here several years ago!" "Hey squirt, I know who you are already. But I can't let anyone in unless they have the right membership paper," she said. Other guards took Zelda into another part of the hideout. Guards brought Link upstairs and into a room carved into the side of the canyon wall in the hideout. Link looked down and saw an opening in the floor. 'This is the place where I got thrown in the last time I got caught in the future,' Link thought.
"Alright tiger, into the hole," said one of the guards. Link got pushed into the hole and fell. He yelled and fell on the floor. "Link! Are you ok?" asked Navi, "Say something!" Link, flat on the ground, said, "Ouch!" Navi laughed and flew around. Link got up slowly. "Where do they come up with those names? First there's kid, then there's squirt, and now there's tiger! What's next? Boy?" Navi said, "Well, that doesn't matter now. Aren't you suppose to be saving Zelda and the others?" Link said, "Oh yeah, let's go." Link took out his Longshot and aimed for the wooden shade on the open hole on the wall. He pulled himself up with the Longshot and aimed for the flag on top of a Rock Hill. Link shot it and flew in the air. Everyone was busy so they didn't see Link fly down. He landed painfully, but it didn't hurt him much.
"Now how are we going to get through those guards? I can see a door over there Navi," said Link. Navi folded her arms and said, "Hello? Don't you remember? Stun them!" Link said, "Yeah I know, but what about the other guards. Someone has to make a diversion. Or, I know!" Link took out a bomb and threw it across the place. When it exploded in the air, all the Gerudo Guards looked up. Link quickly ran to the door.
"Ok, we made it Navi. Ah! Duck!" whispered Link. Navi and Link ducked behind a crate and watched as a Gerudo Guard runs outside. Link whispered to Navi, "I think all of the guards are going to check what made that explosion." Link got up and walked quietly. They walked through passages looking for the jail rooms. Link walked to a room with to jail rooms.
He saw one carpenter on one of them. "Hey!" the carpenter yelled, "Over here! I'm in jail." Link went up to him. "Hey, you've got to get me and the others out of here. We wanted to join the Gerudos, but the turned on us and threw us in dungeons saying that only true thieves can join. Oh yeah, I also have to tell you that- whoa! Watch out behind you!" Link turned around and saw a different Gerudo Guard. She had to curve swords. 'She must do spin attacks often,' Link thought. Link took out his sword and shield and got ready to fight. "I'm the keeper of the keys around here kid, get past me (which I really doubt) and you can get your friend flubber over there," said the guard. She ran up to Link and aimed for Link's back. Link was too quick for her to reach. He did his spin attack and back flipped to get out of the guard's way. The guard blocked it with her two curved swords and did a spin attack in the air and kicked Link. Link jumped out of the way and cut the Guard's stomach. She jumped out of site and dropped a key. Link picked it up and opened the jail door. The carpenter got out and said, "Oh Thank you so much! If you're looking for my other friends, there are 3 of them lefted. Bye!" The carpenter ran through the hallway and was gone.
"Now we have to get three more and plus Zelda," said Link, "But I thought that she can get out herself." "That's right." Link and Navi turned their heads and saw Shannon. "Those girls thought that they can keep me in a jail room! You've gotta be kiddin' me! Oh yeah, I've released two of the other carpenters. So all you have to do is get one more." Link said, "Ok, let's go." Link, Shannon, and Navi walked through different passages and made it to the last carpenter. "Hey! Over here! I'm in jail!" said another carpenter. Link got his sword ready and waited for another guard to come out. "Shannon, when you got the other carpenters out, didn't you see guards?" asked Link. Shannon said, "Yeah, ofcourse I did. That's how I got the keys to get them out." "Then why aren't there any guards right now?" asked Link.
"That's because I didn't send one to come here, Link." Link turned his head and saw Ragu. "Ragu! It's you. You were the one who sent them? That means you knew that we lefted our jail rooms. Are you going to try and put us in jail again." Ragu said, "No, I put you in jail for a reason. Last time when you were here, you didn't give me proof that you were worthy of being part of the Gerudo's Hideout. I changed the membership papers and told the guards that one day, you'll come over."
Link said, "Alright, I'll take that test now so that we can get it over with." Ragu said, "Ok, follow me." Ragu lead them to a gate in front of the Gerudo's Hideout. "Here it is. Just pay me 10 rupees and I'll let you go through. If you make it all the way, you have to come out with a piece of our hidden treasure," said Ragu. "What is the hidden treasure?" asked Shannon. Ragu said, "Sorry Shannon, I can't tell you until you go in there yourself. So, who is going first?" "I will," said Link. Ragu clapped her hands twice and the gate opened. Link walked inside and got to work. 40 min. later, Link came out with an Arrow lit with white flames. "What's that?" Shannon asked. Ragu said, "Go inside and take the test. You'll find out what it is just as soon as you get it." Shannon grunted and walked in. But before she could Ragu stopped her. "Ah ah ah, you forgot to pay me 10 rupees to try it." Shannon grunted again and gave her 10 rupees. Then she ran in before Ragu cold say anything else.
50 min. later, Shannon came out with an arrow that was lit it white flames. "So this is what they call the Ice Arrow eh? Interesting, how does it stay on the stick?" she asked. Ragu didn't answer what she said. She put her hand in her pocket and took out two sheets of paper. She put her other hand in her other pocket and took out a pencil. Shannon and Link watched as she wrote down stuff. When she was done. She gave them to Link and Shannon. "Congratulations Link and Shannon. Or should I say Link and Zelda?" Ragu snapped. Shannon gasped, "How did you know that I was Zelda?" "Simple, when you were here as a little kid, and you came here, I was able to watch you as you flashed into Zelda. Remember that time when you thought you heard someone in the hallway? That was me spying on you." Shannon's eyes widened. Ragu said, "I know how you feel Shannon." Shannon ran up to her and covered her mouth. "Please, not in front of Link Ragu." Ragu laughed and said, "Don't worry Shannon. That time will come soon." Link looked blank. He didn't know what was going on and said, "What are you guys talking about?" Shannon laughed embarrassly and walked away. Ragu smiled at Link and walked away. "What's going on!" he yelled. There was no reply. He folded his arms and walked away also.
Shannon got back to Zelda and walked outside. Navi flew up to her. "Are you looking for Link your highness?" Zelda smiled and said, "Oh please Navi, call me Zelda." Navi said, "Alright Princess." Zelda chortled and went to Link. "Link, I think I want to visit Death Mountain. It would be nice if we were able to go to the top again like we did last time. Can we teleport there?" Link said, "Ok Zelda, but I don't want to hear you complaining." Zelda nodded and laughed. Link called for Epona and got on her. Zelda looked up and climbed on also. Navi flew around Link and watched them gallop to Death Mountain.
When they got to Kakariko Village, Link and Zelda jumped Epona and let her run around. They walked up the steps and into the village. In Kakariko Village, C.N. and U.N. ran up to them. C.N. said to Link, "Link! Tell him that you escaped from the castle!" U.N. said, "Haha! Don't bother this bozo, I know that you never even went close to the castle." C.N. said, "What are you! Stupid! Where were you when they gave out brains with memory? You were even there to see Shannon run away with Link on her side!" U.N. laughed, "Hahahahahaha! It was just a boy and a Sheikah running away." Link said, "U.N., C.N. is right ok? That was me, and the Sheikah was Zelda here if you already hadn't heard." Link pasted by them and went to the gate that led to Death Mountain. "Talk about unbelievable eh Link?" Zelda asked. Link laughed.
The two of them ran up the mountain until they reached the top. Zelda looked down and watched the view. Link closed his eyes and felt the wind brush in to his body. Zelda sat down and yawned. Navi flew in the air and did several tricks.
Just then, Crenimus went up to Zelda quietly and grabbed her. She screamed and Link turned around. "Crenimus!" he yelled, "Let Zelda go!" Link ran up to him. But before he could, Crenimus took out a dagger and set it in front of Zelda's throat. "Take one step nearer from me and I'll kill her," he said. Link looked at Zelda's eyes and saw the fear run in her body. Crenimus laughed insanely and ran into Death Crater. Link ran after him. Just when Link was able to reach Crenimus, Crenimus ran onto a wooden board above lava. "Now is the time that I shall leave. I have done my purpose in life which is to kill Zelda," said Crenimus. He stabbed her on the chest and jumped into the lava with her. Link ran quickly and jumped down too. He got to Crenimus and punched him. Crenimus lost grip of Zelda and let go. Link grabbed Zelda and barely grabbed Crenimus's hand. Link shot up his Longshot. "Crenimus!" he yelled, "Don't let go of my hand, you know you want to live longer. I'm going to take you up!" Crenimus yelled, "No! I must die!" He let go of Link's hand and fell into the lava. "No! Crenimus!" Link pulled Zelda and himself up and looked down. "Crenimus," he said silently. Navi said, "Link, are you ok?" Link got up and sadly said, "I'm fine Navi, but not Zelda. And for Crenimus. Well, that's something else."
Zelda's eyes were wide opened and she looked dead. Link lifter her up and played Minuet of Forest. He felt another cold breeze pass by as he went through the Sacred Meadow. Some where over the walls, there is a Fairy's Fountain. He jumped into the hole and went in. Navi watched Link as he set Zelda into the Fairy Fountain. He backed away and watched the fairies fly around Zelda and heal her. Zelda got up and felt her chest. She ran up to Link and hugged him. "Link, thank you for saving. I never even do anything to thanks you." Link smiled and said, "It's ok Zelda, you don't have to give me anything." The two looked at each other as their faces drawn nearer. Just when their lips were going to touch, Navi yelled, "You guys! We haven't got time for that! Let's go to the castle!" Link and Zelda backed away from each other.
Link got focus and said, "Sorry Navi. Zelda, let's get out of here and talk to your father." Zelda held her elbow. She said softly, "Ok Link." Link set his hand on her shoulder. "Zelda, it'll be alright. Another time will come," he said. Zelda nodded and followed them out.
At the front of Kikiri Forest, Link called for Epona and went on her. Zelda jumped on also. When they got to the castle, Renimus was at front with other guards that had weapons. "What do you want now?" asked Link. Renimus said, "I want Zelda. I also thought that Crenimus was after you at Death Mountain." Link said in a low voice, "He was." He looked down from what he said. Renimus said, "Then where is he?" Zelda said, "If we tell you what happened to him, then you'll surely arrest us." Renimus gasped, "You don't mean that he's dead?" Link looked up and sadly said, "I had him for a while, until he let go of my hand and fell into the Death Crater's lava." Renimus's eyes widened and his face looked as if he saw a ghost. He turned around and looked down. Link said, "I'm sorry Renimus. Besides, he was going to kill Zelda." Renimus said in a low voice, "Does Zelda matter that much to you?" He took out his sword and went for Link. Link took out his sword and shield.
Renimus ran up to Link and threw a dagger towards his chest. Link blocked it with his shield and swung his sword towards Renimus, but Renimus got out of the way. Link did his spin attack. Renimus jumped high into the air and did a jump attack with him sword. Link gasped and back flipped. Zelda and Navi watched the fight. Whenever Link did a spin attack, Renimus was able to get out of the way. "He's too fast!" Link yelled. Zelda yelled back, "Hang in there Link!" Renimus was able to cut Link on his arms. Blood was dripping down and Link was getting unconscious. "Link!" yelled Zelda. The king walked out of the castle and gasped at the sight. "What's the meaning of this! Renimus, stop this at once!" Renimus roared and went for the King. The king yelled and ran. He tripped over a rock and fell on the ground. "Daddy!" yelled Zelda. Link was on the ground knocked out. She took his sword and ran after Renimus. Just when Renimus was going to stab the King, Zelda stabbed him on the back. He fell on the ground with the sword in his back. The King gasped, "Zelda! How could you!" Zelda's eyes widened, "Daddy! What do you mean! I just saved your life!" The King stood up and backed away from Zelda. He said, "You, you killed him!" He ran into the castle.
Link was on the ground looking helpless. Zelda walked up to him and set her hands on her hips. "Navi, aren't you going to heal him?" Navi nodded and flew around Link. Fairy dust fell on Link. All the blood and cuts disappeared. He got up and went to Renimus. Link held his sword and pulled it out of Renimus's back. He turned around and looked at Zelda. "Zelda, why did you kill him?" he asked. Zelda began to cry. She covered her eyes and tears came out.
At Lon Lon Ranch, Link was cleaning his sword with a rag Malon gave him. He looked around Lon Lon Ranch with his sword and went up to Zelda. She was leaning on a tree with her arms folded and her head down. Navi said, "Link, she hasn't been talking ever since she killed Renimus. Think you can help her?" Navi flew away. Link set his sword aside and squatted down. Zelda saw Link and closed her eyes tight. He slowly pulled her chin up so that she can look at him. Zelda opened her eyes and tears came out. She stood up and folded her arms. "I just wanted to save my father. I had no other options to stop Renimus from killing him," she said sadly. Link said, "It's ok Zelda. I might've done that myself. Just tell your father." Zelda said quietly, "But that's it Link. My father never wanted me to kill." Link said, "Just talk to him." Zelda wiped her tears and said, "Ok, let's go." Link called for Epona. Link helped Zelda on and so with himself.
At the castle, Zelda walked slowly to the courtyard. She saw the King looking through a small window like she used to do when she was small. The king heard her and looked at her. Then he turned face the window. Zelda frowned and walked up to him. "Daddy, I just wanted to save you." "I know you did. But, your mother would never want you to kill." Zelda said, "I'm sorry daddy." The King nodded and walked away. Zelda sighed and went out of the castle. Link was at front. "Zelda, how did it go?" Zelda said, "I don't think he believed me." "Oh yeah, Sheik's back." Sheik came from behind Link with his arms folded. Zelda said, "Hi Sheik, how was it with your mother?" Sheik made a sign to say that it was ok. "Zelda, I've been watching what's happened. Crenimus and his brother are gone. I also saw you talk to your father." Zelda looked down and walked to the gate. Link said, "Sheik, I don't think Zelda wants to talk about it right now." Sheik nodded and threw a Flash Nut. Navi said, "Wow, Sheik disappeared." Link said, "Yeah he did..amazing." Navi laughed and flew around Link's head.
The next day, Link and Zelda went back to the castle. They saw people with sad faces and some that were crying. "What's going on?" asked Zelda. Link went up to one of the townfolks and spoke to them. Link's face looked serious when he went to Zelda. He said, "I'm sorry Zelda. But I think you should check the castle." Zelda ran to the castle and saw a coffin being sent to the graveyard. Zelda asked, "Who's in there?" A guards said, "Your highness, we're sorry. It's your father." Zelda set her hands on the coffin and began to cry. "What happened?" she cried. Another guard said, "Someone came here and killed him." Link ran up to the guard and asked, "How did the person who killed the King look like?" The guard said, "He had ran and black armor. He also had a Red cape on his back. His hair was red and so was his eyes." Link gasped, "Do you know what his name was? And where did he go?" The guard said, "He only never said anything. We tried to stop him. But he killed some of the other guards also. Just when he killed the King he ran away. We don't know where he went to." The guards walked away with the coffin. Zelda followed them and kept on crying.
"Link," Navi said, "Do you know anything about this person. I've heard of him I think. His name is-" "Teamius," interrupted Link, "its Teamius. He was the one who made that big explosion 7 years ago when we came back to the past. Renimus told me about it. And so with the Deku Sprout. Do you know about him Navi?" Navi said, "Yeah, the Deku Sprout spoke about it to us fairies. He's the son of Gannondorf. He must've killed the King because neither Crenimus or his brother killed him." "Makes sense," said Link.
Link went to the graveyard where they were setting the coffin in a grave. Zelda was crying as she watched them cover the coffin up with dirt. Everyone was there to watch as their King being buried. Link went up to Zelda and set his arm on Zelda's shoulder. She turned around and hugged him. "Who would do such a thing? Who Link?" Link said, "The only one who Crenimus and his brother would work for, Teamius." Zelda looked at him all confused, "But I thought he was only a legend." "That's what we all thought.
Back at the castle, Zelda moved back in. She got into her nicest dress and went in front of everyone. She said, "Everyone, I know that the King is now gone, but that don't mean that all will be lost. As now Queen of Hyrule, I will help this land become even better than before. We all shall remember my father as the King of Hyrule." Everyone cheered. The party ended until night. Zelda went in the castle and fell back on her bed. Link walked back to the Kikiri Forest. Zelda got up from her bed and went to her balcony where she was able to see all of Hyrule. Sheik came from behind her and watched. She turned around and said, "Sheik, after the celebration, where did Link go? I didn't see him anywhere." Sheik said, "He went back to the Kikiri Forest your highness." "Sheik, just call me Zelda," she said. Sheik nodded and walked away. She gazed at the sight for a long time. At night, she went into bed and fell asleep.
Shannon ran with Link on her side. "Navi, why didn't you heal Link!" yelled Shannon as they were running from guards. Navi yelled back, "Sorry Shannon! I needed more time!" Link, dangling from Shannon's side, kept his eyes closed from that pain of his back. "We got to get to a safe place and heal him!" yelled Shannon, "I know! Navi, quick, get into my pocket." Shannon took out a tiny ball. She slammed it on the ground and the place became misty. "We can make our getaway and hide somewhere for a short amount of time until the guards find us!" She climbed up a thick tree and stood still. When the mist went away, the guards lefted to check another area.
Shannon jumped down from the tree and laid Link down. "Ok Navi, come out and heal him," said Shannon. Navi flew out and got on top of Link. "Navi, it's you, I haven't seen you in a long time," said Link painfully. Navi smiled and went on with her healing. "Ok, I'm done, Link, you can get up now," said Navi. Link got up and looked at himself. "Thanks Navi," said Link. Navi stood on Link's hand and hug his finger. "Oh Link! It's been such a long time ever since I've seen you. Look at you! You're so big now! You look just like your future self! This time, I'm sticking with you until the end!" Link said, "That's nice to know Navi. Now, let's go to Gerudo Fortress." Link played Epona's Song. Shannon became Zelda, and Navi fluttered her wings.
When Epona came, Link put Zelda on Epona, then he went on. Link took out his small whip and made Epona gallop. "Link," Zelda said, "Doesn't it hurt when you whip Epona with that?" Link said, "Not at all really. Maybe just a pinch. Horses tend to have very thick skin." Zelda nodded. At Gerudo Valley, they saw that the bridge has been destroyed. Epona ran her fastest and jumped across the canyon. Zelda held tight on Link and closed her eyes. Zelda felt a thump and opened her eyes. She looked up and turned around. "Wow, we made it," she said. Link got off and saw a tent. Inside, was the Carpenters Boss. Link looked at him and saw that he was crying.
"What's wrong sir?" asked Link. The man cried, "Oh! My carpenters when to the Gerudo's Hideout! They said that they didn't want to be carpenters no more and that they wanted to leave to the Gerudo Fortress and become thieves!" "Link," Navi said, "This was like that time in the future when you had to rescue the carpenters from the Gerudo Hideout. Weren't they captured?" "That's right Navi," Link said, "Don't worry about it sir, we'll get them back." "Oh thank you so much!" the man said. Link, Zelda, and Navi went out the door.
"Hey Link," said Navi, "Ever since the Gerudo's took the carpenters, don't you think that they'll take us, too?" Link said, "Navi, don't worry, I've been here last time. Ofcourse they'll recognize me." "But that was in the future," said Navi. "Navi," Zelda said, "When you weren't here, we went to Gerudo Fortress to hide from Crenimus." Navi nodded and hid in Link's hood. "I think Navi is worried."
The three of them went into the Gerudo's Hideout and climbed up the stairs. "Hi you guys!" yelled Link. "Hold it! Stay right there and don't move! You are in violation of Gerudo Territory! Surrender now to make it easier for us! Or we'll have to do it the hard way!" yelled a Gerudo guard. Link and Zelda put their hands up. Navi flew into Link's hood. The Gerudo guard went up to Link and said, "Do you have a membership card to get in?" Link took it out. The Gerudo guard snatched it from Link and read the paper. "Haha," laughed the Gerudo guard. "What? Isn't it the membership paper?" asked Link. The Gerudo guard laughed and said, "Hey kid, we don't give these type of membership papers no more.

Guards brought Link upstairs and into a room carved into the side of the canyon wall in the hideout. Link looked down and saw an opening in the floor. 'This is the place where I got thrown in the last time I got caught in the future,' Link thought.
"Alright tiger, into the hole," said one of the guards. Link got pushed into the hole and fell. He yelled and fell on the floor. "Link! Are you ok?" asked Navi, "Say something!" Link, flat on the ground, said, "Ouch!" Navi laughed and flew around. Link got up slowly. "Where do they come up with those names? First there's kid, then there's squirt, and now there's tiger! What's next? Boy?" Navi said, "Well, that doesn't matter now. Aren't you suppose to be saving Zelda and the others?" Link said, "Oh yeah, let's go." Link took out his Longshot and aimed for the wooden shade on the open hole on the wall. He pulled himself up with the Longshot and aimed for the flag on top of a Rock Hill. Link shot it and flew in the air. Everyone was busy so they didn't see Link fly down. He landed painfully, but it didn't hurt him much.
"Now how are we going to get through those guards? I can see a door over there Navi," said Link. Navi folded her arms and said, "Hello? Don't you remember? Stun them!" Link said, "Yeah I know, but what about the other guards. Someone has to make a diversion. Or, I know!" Link took out a bomb and threw it across the place. When it exploded in the air, all the Gerudo Guards looked up. Link quickly ran to the door.
"Ok, we made it Navi. Ah! Duck!" whispered Link. Navi and Link ducked behind a crate and watched as a Gerudo Guard runs outside. Link whispered to Navi, "I think all of the guards are going to check what made that explosion." Link got up and walked quietly. They walked through passages looking for the jail rooms. Link walked to a room with to jail rooms.
He saw one carpenter on one of them. "Hey!" the carpenter yelled, "Over here! I'm in jail." Link went up to him. "Hey, you've got to get me and the others out of here.

"That's because I didn't send one to come here, Link." Link turned his head and saw Ragu. "Ragu! It's you. You were the one who sent them? That means you knew that we lefted our jail rooms. Are you going to try and put us in jail again." Ragu said, "No, I put you in jail for a reason. Last time when you were here, you didn't give me proof that you were worthy of being part of the Gerudo's Hideout. I changed the membership papers and told the guards that one day, you'll come over."
Link said, "Alright, I'll take that test now so that we can get it over with." Ragu said, "Ok, follow me." Ragu lead them to a gate in front of the Gerudo's Hideout. "Here it is. Just pay me 10 rupees and I'll let you go through. If you make it all the way, you have to come out with a piece of our hidden treasure," said Ragu. "What is the hidden treasure?" asked Shannon. Ragu said, "Sorry Shannon, I can't tell you until you go in there yourself. So, who is going first?" "I will," said Link. Ragu clapped her hands twice and the gate opened. Link walked inside and got to work. 40 min. later, Link came out with an Arrow lit with white flames. "What's that?" Shannon asked. Ragu said, "Go inside and take the test. You'll find out what it is just as soon as you get it." Shannon grunted and walked in. But before she could Ragu stopped her. "Ah ah ah, you forgot to pay me 10 rupees to try it." Shannon grunted again and gave her 10 rupees. Then she ran in before Ragu cold say anything else.
50 min. later, Shannon came out with an arrow that was lit it white flames. "So this is what they call the Ice Arrow eh? Interesting, how does it stay on the stick?" she asked. Ragu didn't answer what she said. She put her hand in her pocket and took out two sheets of paper. She put her other hand in her other pocket and took out a pencil. Shannon and Link watched as she wrote down stuff. When she was done. She gave them to Link and Shannon. "Congratulations Link and Shannon. Or should I say Link and Zelda?" Ragu snapped. Shannon gasped, "How did you know that I was Zelda?" "Simple, when you were here as a little kid, and you came here, I was able to watch you as you flashed into Zelda. Remember that time when you thought you heard someone in the hallway? That was me spying on you." Shannon's eyes widened. Ragu said, "I know how you feel Shannon." Shannon ran up to her and covered her mouth. "Please, not in front of Link Ragu." Ragu laughed and said, "Don't worry Shannon. That time will come soon." Link looked blank. He didn't know what was going on and said, "What are you guys talking about?" Shannon laughed embarrassly and walked away. Ragu smiled at Link and walked away. "What's going on!" he yelled. There was no reply. He folded his arms and walked away also.
Shannon got back to Zelda and walked outside. Navi flew up to her. "Are you looking for Link your highness?" Zelda smiled and said, "Oh please Navi, call me Zelda." Navi said, "Alright Princess." Zelda chortled and went to Link. "Link, I think I want to visit Death Mountain. It would be nice if we were able to go to the top again like we did last time. Can we teleport there?" Link said, "Ok Zelda, but I don't want to hear you complaining." Zelda nodded and laughed. Link called for Epona and got on her. Zelda looked up and climbed on also. Navi flew around Link and watched them gallop to Death Mountain.
When they got to Kakariko Village, Link and Zelda jumped Epona and let her run around. They walked up the steps and into the village. In Kakariko Village, C.N. and U.N. ran up to them. C.N. said to Link, "Link! Tell him that you escaped from the castle!" U.N. said, "Haha! Don't bother this bozo, I know that you never even went close to the castle." C.N. said, "What are you! Stupid! Where were you when they gave out brains with memory? You were even there to see Shannon run away with Link on her side!" U.N. laughed, "Hahahahahaha! It was just a boy and a Sheikah running away." Link said, "U.N., C.N. is right ok? That was me, and the Sheikah was Zelda here if you already hadn't heard." Link pasted by them and went to the gate that led to Death Mountain. "Talk about unbelievable eh Link?" Zelda asked. Link laughed.
The two of them ran up the mountain until they reached the top. Zelda looked down and watched the view. Link closed his eyes and felt the wind brush in to his body. Zelda sat down and yawned. Navi flew in the air and did several tricks.
Just then, Crenimus went up to Zelda quietly and grabbed her. She screamed and Link turned around. "Crenimus!" he yelled, "Let Zelda go!" Link ran up to him. But before he could, Crenimus took out a dagger and set it in front of Zelda's throat. "Take one step nearer from me and I'll kill her," he said. Link looked at Zelda's eyes and saw the fear run in her body. Crenimus laughed insanely and ran into Death Crater. Link ran after him. Just when Link was able to reach Crenimus, Crenimus ran onto a wooden board above lava. "Now is the time that I shall leave. I have done my purpose in life which is to kill Zelda," said Crenimus. He stabbed her on the chest and jumped into the lava with her. Link ran quickly and jumped down too. He got to Crenimus and punched him. Crenimus lost grip of Zelda and let go. Link grabbed Zelda and barely grabbed Crenimus's hand. Link shot up his Longshot. "Crenimus!" he yelled, "Don't let go of my hand, you know you want to live longer. I'm going to take you up!" Crenimus yelled, "No! I must die!" He let go of Link's hand and fell into the lava. "No! Crenimus!" Link pulled Zelda and himself up and looked down. "Crenimus," he said silently. Navi said, "Link, are you ok?" Link got up and sadly said, "I'm fine Navi, but not Zelda. And for Crenimus. Well, that's something else."
Zelda's eyes were wide opened and she looked dead. Link lifter her up and played Minuet of Forest. He felt another cold breeze pass by as he went through the Sacred Meadow. Some where over the walls, there is a Fairy's Fountain. He jumped into the hole and went in. Navi watched Link as he set Zelda into the Fairy Fountain. He backed away and watched the fairies fly around Zelda and heal her. Zelda got up and felt her chest. She ran up to Link and hugged him. "Link, thank you for saving. I never even do anything to thanks you." Link smiled and said, "It's ok Zelda, you don't have to give me anything." The two looked at each other as their faces drawn nearer. Just when their lips were going to touch, Navi yelled, "You guys! We haven't got time for that! Let's go to the castle!" Link and Zelda backed away from each other.
Link got focus and said, "Sorry Navi. Zelda, let's get out of here and talk to your father." Zelda held her elbow. She said softly, "Ok Link." Link set his hand on her shoulder. "Zelda, it'll be alright. Another time will come," he said. Zelda nodded and followed them out.
At the front of Kikiri Forest, Link called for Epona and went on her. Zelda jumped on also. When they got to the castle, Renimus was at front with other guards that had weapons. "What do you want now?" asked Link. Renimus said, "I want Zelda. I also thought that Crenimus was after you at Death Mountain." Link said in a low voice, "He was." He looked down from what he said. Renimus said, "Then where is he?" Zelda said, "If we tell you what happened to him, then you'll surely arrest us." Renimus gasped, "You don't mean that he's dead?" Link looked up and sadly said, "I had him for a while, until he let go of my hand and fell into the Death Crater's lava." Renimus's eyes widened and his face looked as if he saw a ghost. He turned around and looked down. Link said, "I'm sorry Renimus. Besides, he was going to kill Zelda." Renimus said in a low voice, "Does Zelda matter that much to you?" He took out his sword and went for Link. Link took out his sword and shield.
Renimus ran up to Link and threw a dagger towards his chest. Link blocked it with his shield and swung his sword towards Renimus, but Renimus got out of the way. Link did his spin attack. Renimus jumped high into the air and did a jump attack with him sword. Link gasped and back flipped. Zelda and Navi watched the fight. Whenever Link did a spin attack, Renimus was able to get out of the way. "He's too fast!" Link yelled. Zelda yelled back, "Hang in there Link!" Renimus was able to cut Link on his arms. Blood was dripping down and Link was getting unconscious. "Link!" yelled Zelda. The king walked out of the castle and gasped at the sight. "What's the meaning of this! Renimus, stop this at once!" Renimus roared and went for the King. The king yelled and ran. He tripped over a rock and fell on the ground. "Daddy!" yelled Zelda. Link was on the ground knocked out. She took his sword and ran after Renimus. Just when Renimus was going to stab the King, Zelda stabbed him on the back. He fell on the ground with the sword in his back. The King gasped, "Zelda! How could you!" Zelda's eyes widened, "Daddy! What do you mean! I just saved your life!" The King stood up and backed away from Zelda. He said, "You, you killed him!" He ran into the castle.
Link was on the ground looking helpless. Zelda walked up to him and set her hands on her hips. "Navi, aren't you going to heal him?" Navi nodded and flew around Link. Fairy dust fell on Link. All the blood and cuts disappeared. He got up and went to Renimus. Link held his sword and pulled it out of Renimus's back. He turned around and looked at Zelda. "Zelda, why did you kill him?" he asked. Zelda began to cry. She covered her eyes and tears came out.
At Lon Lon Ranch, Link was cleaning his sword with a rag Malon gave him. He looked around Lon Lon Ranch with his sword and went up to Zelda. She was leaning on a tree with her arms folded and her head down. Navi said, "Link, she hasn't been talking ever since she killed Renimus. Think you can help her?" Navi flew away. Link set his sword aside and squatted down. Zelda saw Link and closed her eyes tight. He slowly pulled her chin up so that she can look at him. Zelda opened her eyes and tears came out. She stood up and folded her arms. "I just wanted to save my father. I had no other options to stop Renimus from killing him," she said sadly. Link said, "It's ok Zelda. I might've done that myself. Just tell your father." Zelda said quietly, "But that's it Link. My father never wanted me to kill." Link said, "Just talk to him." Zelda wiped her tears and said, "Ok, let's go." Link called for Epona. Link helped Zelda on and so with himself.
At the castle, Zelda walked slowly to the courtyard. She saw the King looking through a small window like she used to do when she was small. The king heard her and looked at her. Then he turned face the window. Zelda frowned and walked up to him. "Daddy, I just wanted to save you." "I know you did. But, your mother would never want you to kill." Zelda said, "I'm sorry daddy." The King nodded and walked away. Zelda sighed and went out of the castle. Link was at front. "Zelda, how did it go?" Zelda said, "I don't think he believed me." "Oh yeah, Sheik's back." Sheik came from behind Link with his arms folded. Zelda said, "Hi Sheik, how was it with your mother?" Sheik made a sign to say that it was ok. "Zelda, I've been watching what's happened. Crenimus and his brother are gone. I also saw you talk to your father." Zelda looked down and walked to the gate. Link said, "Sheik, I don't think Zelda wants to talk about it right now." Sheik nodded and threw a Flash Nut. Navi said, "Wow, Sheik disappeared." Link said, "Yeah he did..amazing." Navi laughed and flew around Link's head.
The next day, Link and Zelda went back to the castle. They saw people with sad faces and some that were crying. "What's going on?" asked Zelda. Link went up to one of the townfolks and spoke to them. Link's face looked serious when he went to Zelda. He said, "I'm sorry Zelda. But I think you should check the castle." Zelda ran to the castle and saw a coffin being sent to the graveyard. Zelda asked, "Who's in there?" A guards said, "Your highness, we're sorry. It's your father." Zelda set her hands on the coffin and began to cry. "What happened?" she cried. Another guard said, "Someone came here and killed him." Link ran up to the guard and asked, "How did the person who killed the King look like?" The guard said, "He had ran and black armor. He also had a Red cape on his back. His hair was red and so was his eyes." Link gasped, "Do you know what his name was? And where did he go?" The guard said, "He only never said anything. We tried to stop him. But he killed some of the other guards also. Just when he killed the King he ran away. We don't know where he went to." The guards walked away with the coffin. Zelda followed them and kept on crying.
"Link," Navi said, "Do you know anything about this person. I've heard of him I think. His name is-" "Teamius," interrupted Link, "its Teamius. He was the one who made that big explosion 7 years ago when we came back to the past. Renimus told me about it. And so with the Deku Sprout. Do you know about him Navi?" Navi said, "Yeah, the Deku Sprout spoke about it to us fairies. He's the son of Gannondorf. He must've killed the King because neither Crenimus or his brother killed him." "Makes sense," said Link.
Link went to the graveyard where they were setting the coffin in a grave. Zelda was crying as she watched them cover the coffin up with dirt. Everyone was there to watch as their King being buried. Link went up to Zelda and set his arm on Zelda's shoulder. She turned around and hugged him. "Who would do such a thing? Who Link?" Link said, "The only one who Crenimus and his brother would work for, Teamius." Zelda looked at him all confused, "But I thought he was only a legend." "That's what we all thought.
Back at the castle, Zelda moved back in. She got into her nicest dress and went in front of everyone. She said, "Everyone, I know that the King is now gone, but that don't mean that all will be lost. As now Queen of Hyrule, I will help this land become even better than before. We all shall remember my father as the King of Hyrule." Everyone cheered. The party ended until night. Zelda went in the castle and fell back on her bed. Link walked back to the Kikiri Forest. Zelda got up from her bed and went to her balcony where she was able to see all of Hyrule. Sheik came from behind her and watched. She turned around and said, "Sheik, after the celebration, where did Link go? I didn't see him anywhere." Sheik said, "He went back to the Kikiri Forest your highness." "Sheik, just call me Zelda," she said. Sheik nodded and walked away. She gazed at the sight for a long time. At night, she went into bed and fell asleep.
