1.1.1 Links Sacrifice

She loved the way he danced with her, the way his hands rested on her hips when they were slow dancing, the way he smelled when she rested her head on his shoulder. She could tell the music was almost over but she didn't want it to end.

"Zelda," Link whispered.

She didn't reply not wanting this moment to end.

"Zel," Link whispered a little louder.

Zelda quickly looked up at Link feeling a little embarrassed.

"Ummmm, Yes Link?" Zelda quickly said.

"I was wondering," Link began "I was ummm wondering if uh if you were doing anything after the party?"

Zelda became excited at the question for she was hoping to spend more time with him.

"Well," she began "I was hoping someone would ask me but he hasn't asked yet."

Link looked a little confused until he saw Zelda's smile, which quickly melted his heart, and he began to laugh.

"Well then will you do something with me after the party?" Link asked

"I thought you'd never ask." Zelda said smiling.

The music ended and Link escorted Zelda back to her seat next to her father. When she had seated herself Link bowed before her, grinning as he stood up, and stepped back into the crowd. She lost sight of him as he walked toward the door but didn't mind she was too busy thinking about how much fun she was going to have with him after the party.

Link stepped outside into the cool air to think about what he was going to do with Zelda. Mabry go to the Lake and watch the stars. As he was planning he heard noises coming from the hall but shrugged them off until he heard someone scream.

"Zelda." He said under his breath as he ran toward the ballroom. As he looked through the crack in the doorway he could see a group of Stalfos circling around the group of guests but his mind wasn't on them he was looking for Zelda.

He couldn't see her. "I have to get higher," Link whispered but before he could move the Stalfos move the group of people to the other side of the room. After the group moved everyone froze as if they were statues. Link looked back towards the throne he could now see Zelda kneeling next to her father on the floor.

******

Her father was unconscious from the man in a dark cloak and hood hitting him across the face. The man hadn't spoken since he appeared out of nowhere and she was too afraid to even look at him but a feeling inside he told her he was pure evil. She looked up at him when he started to walk towards her.

"Don't worry Princess he'll live," the man said.

"What do you want," Zelda screamed.

"Revenge," the man yelled pulling back his hood revealing his face to her who stood in disbelief as he walked closer Zelda screamed again.

******

That was all Link could stand the man had his back turned, Link saw his chance and he took it. Link began to run at the man in the cloak ready to nock him down. Link jumped at the man and was about to hit him when the man raised his hand and Link stopped in midair.

"Hello, Hero of Time," the man said.

"Ganon!" Link said surprised that he remembered the mans voice.

"Very good hero I'm glad you remember me," Ganon said while turning to look at Link. Link tried to grab his sword but couldn't move. Ganon raised his hand and Link flew up into the air.

"This is going to hurt," Ganon said laughing as he dropped his arm. Link fell to the floor landing on his shoulder and hitting his head. Zelda screamed as Link winced in pain. Link began to stand, when he turned towards Ganon Zelda could see a large cut on Links forehead from hitting his head on the floor.

"What do you want?" Link said still holding his shoulder.

" Exactly what I told the Princess, REVENGE!" Ganon said laughing as he ran toward Zelda.

Ganon grabbed Zelda by the arm before Link could get to her. Ganon pulled out a knife and put it up to Zelda's throat.

"Noooooo," Link yelled "Don't hut her, take me instead I'm the one that defeated you and sent you to the other dimension."

"I'd rather kill you both," Ganon said "But you do bring up a good point. Stalfos, take away his weapons."

The Stalfos bowed before Ganon and moved toward Link. Link didn't move for fear that if he tried to get away Ganon might hut Zelda. One Stalfos grabbed Link while the other took away his weapons.

"Now bring him here," Ganon yelled.

The Stalfos that was still holding Link drug him towards Ganon. Link could tell that Zelda was frightened by the look on her face he couldn't stand to see her like this. 'I must protect her' was all Link could think about.

"Now let her go," Link bravely said.

Before Link knew what happened Ganon pushed Zelda to the floor and thrust his knife into Links Belly then withdrew it. Ganon snapped his fingers and the Stalfos let go of Link.

Link looked down at his shirt and noticed that his shirt was turning red. He put his hand over the area and turned toward Zelda who had stood up and was watching him. She could see the fear in his eyes as he started to walk towards her. She ran to him as he collapsed on the floor.

"Link what's wrong?" Zelda cried.

She looked down at his hand, which was now covered in blood, she panicked and looked back up at his face she could tell that he looked like he was in a different time, his eyes were looking hazy and she could see the color in his eyes leaving.

"No Link don't leave me," Zelda cried

"Zelda," Link began "I don't think I'm going to make it to our date tonight," he said trying to laugh but coughing instead. A small trickle of blood ran down his mouth across his cheek.

"Oh Link you cant leave me alone I have so much I want to tell you please don't die" Zelda cried.

The convulsions started that wracked Links body so violently that Zelda could hardly hold on to him. Link knew that he didn't have much time; he turned his head slightly to take one last long look into Zelda's eyes he didn't want to forget what she looked like.

"Zelda," Link whispered in an almost fading voice while reaching up to wipe away the freshly fallen tears from her beautiful face "Never forget that I will always.love you."

Zelda smiled "And I love you. Please don't leave me I need you."

"I will never leave you my Princess," Link whispered "Never.forget.me." With that Link gasped trying to breath, his hand fell from her face and his head fell backwards. Link took his last breath closing his eyes while a tear fell down his cheek, then he was still.

Zelda tried to wake him as if she was sleeping but she knew he was gone. She lowered her lips towards his and gave him a tender sweet kiss.

"Boohoo," Ganon said, "Love huh, that gives me an idea."

Ganon snapped his finger and the Stalfos suddenly disappeared, as did the group of guests. He walked over to Zelda picking her up and pushing her away from Links body.

"Now that I know that you love him and he loves you it gives me a brilliant idea on how I am going to carry out my revenge on you Princess Zelda," Ganon said laughing.

Ganon grabbed Links arm and snapped his fingers and with that Ganon and Link were gone and Zelda was left alone wanting to wake up from this nightmare to return to when she was dancing with Link but she knew that would never happen. Zelda put her head in her hands and began to cry aloud.
