Link ran for the spot where the portal had vanished, and scrambled and felt all around it, but there was nothing. Both Malon and Zelda were gone. He pounded his fist into the ground, and cursed.

"Dammit!" Link yelled, smashing his fist into the stone floor again. "I lost them... Zelda... Malon..." Link got up, and glumly grabbed his sword. Suddenly, the ground underneath him began swirling. Before Link could even react, he was sucked into the portal, and his mind swam into nothingness.

Link's eyes snapped open, and he was immediatly blinded by a bright ray of sunlight. Link rubbed his eyes, and sat up. But his heart stopped dead when he saw the sight before him. He was back in Kokiri Forest... but it wasnt the same Kokiri Forest than he had remembered. All the trees were burned to the ground, and there were corpses all around him. Link ran around the village, tears streaking down his face as he reciognized familiar faces, their eyes wide open, the mouth gaping. Finally, Link reached Saria's house. With his hands trembling, he opened the door, and nearly had a heart attack.

There was blood splattered all around the once serene scene. Mido was sitting in the corner, slumped over, a great cut acoross his head. Link felt for a pulse. Nothing. He dropped the hand with a heavy heart, and he walked through an ocean of Kokiri bodies, and he reached a table when he saw a tuft of green hair sticking from under the table.

"Oh, God..." Link whispered when he realized that it was Saria. He gently picked up the limp body, and shuddered when he saw a huge sword sticking straight through her. Link shivered again, and plucked a note from the sword, stained with blood.

Link,
How does it feel to have your entire village destroyed? Your best friends killed? The Sage of the Forest dead with MY sword sticking through her? Must feel pretty bad, right? Well, thats two Sages down, five more to go? Oh, and one last thing: how does it feel to have the love of your life snatched away from you like a cookie? Well, I can tell you one thing: she's not too happy right now, after what I did to her!
Gannondorf

Link crumpled up the note, and hurled it out the window, a grimace of pain and anger on his face. He picked up Saria's body ever so carefully, took her outside, and bueried her. Finally, he took out the Kokiri Sword, and jammed it into her grave as a marker. With a heart full of intense anger, Link then left his home village, seeking vengance...

--------------

Link walked onto the Hyrule Field, and his thoughts for exracting revenge on Gannondorf were once again halted as soon as he stepped onto the Field... well, I couldnt really call it a field now. Instead of Hyrule Field being there, it was now a desolate wasteland with withering trees, and monsters as far as the eye could see. And looming in the distance, where Hyrule Castle should have been, was a monstrous castle. Gannon's Castle, I presume. Link thought grimly. He started to walk out onto the field, but a mutated Skutalla scuttled in front of him. And what a muation it was! Six feet tall with menacing pincers, the spider monster advanced on him with frightning speed. Before Link knew it, the Skutalla had pounced onto him, its putrid breath growling right in his face.

Link drew his sword, drew it back, and impaled the Skutalla right in its soft underbelly. The spider screeched as disgusting green blood gushed from the wound. Link rolled from under the spider, but unfortunatly, the beast wasnt finished off yet. It stumbled to its feet, and charged at Link with animalistic fury. Link leaped into the air, and brought down his sword, stabbing style. There was a sickening splut as Link's sword split the Skutalla's heart, and the enormous spider wriggled its life away.

Link kneeled next to the spider's carcass, panting heavily. That was a nice warm up... he gasped in his mind. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound behind him. He whirled around just in time to see a Dinfols' blade whiz a millimeter away from his nose. He jumped backwards, and brought up his own sword to block the Dinofols' next attack. I guess this is the main course, then. Link thought as he glared at his reptilian foes. There were three Dinofols' in all, each of them hissing nastily at him. Link held his sword tightly, sweat dripping down his face in beads. Finally... a movement! One Dinofols' had lunged straight at him! Link ducked the blade, and impaled the lizard on his sword, killing it instantly. The other two Dinofols' leaped at him, spitting angrily. Link blocked one of the Dinofols' blades, but the other was much to fast for him. A stab of pain seared across his back as the sword ripped across his spine.

Link bellowed out in pain, and the rage erupted in his mind. He went in a frenzy, slashing and cutting al over the place. The Dinofols' were immediatly renamed "Chopped Suey" as Link turned into the "Human Lawnmower" When he finally got a hold on his emotions, he looked down with cold eyes at the twitching Dinofols' corpses. I dont give a damn about you... He thought as he started walking toward Gannondorf's Castle. And after I save Malon, I'm gonna do the same thing to you, Gannondorf!
