Note: This takes place several years after part3. Also, when I talk about the Calatian
border it is the border to the country Calatia where LinkIII (the Link in The Legend of
Zelda and Adventure of Link) used to live.
Nearly seven years had passed since Ganondorf stole the Triforce of Power. Since then
he had grown stronger, more powerful. Impa and Zelda could do nothing. All they had
been able to accomplish was saving a few small villages or shelters, not even slowing
down Ganondorf's advance. It was rumored the some of Ganondorf's forces had spread
to different countries, but it was never confirmed.
Zelda and Impa were just waiting for the seven years would be over, and Link would
return and hopefully vanquish Ganondorf and his army from Hyrule. But then one night,
Zelda had a vision. She was floating in a white void. Nothing was in there except her.
"Where am I?" asked Zelda.
Zelda didn't anticipate an answer, but she got one. "You are in the Sacred Realm,"
answered a deep, but calm voice.
"The Sacred Realm," awed Zelda. "What am I doing here?"
"In two weeks, Link will return from his slumber and travel to awaken the six sages,"
answered the voice.
"Six?" wondered Zelda. "I thought there were seven."
"There are," answered the voice. "I am Rauru, one of the sages."
"Rauru, you were the sage that created the Temple of Light to protect the Triforce from
people with evil in their hearts," said Zelda.
"Yes," answered Rauru. "Now listen, I will teach you five songs that when used will
teleport you its temple." Music flowed into Zelda's ears. In her mind as she heard each
song was its name and which temple it lead to.
"When you wake up," said Rauru after all the songs were played, "go to Zora's Domain.
You will know why when you get there." Zelda then woke up. She got up and put on her
armor. She then got a bow and arrow, a small sword, and a bag of bombs. She then got
on Shulta, and rode to Zora's Domain.
When she got to the river she suddenly felt very cold. Not scared cold, temperature cold.
She got off Shulta and walked the rest of the way to Zora's Domain. When she got to the
waterfall, she pulled out her harp and played the Royal Family's Song, Zelda's Lullaby.
The waterfall parted and Zelda leaped to the entrance of Zora's Domain. Inside, half of
the water was frozen. Zoras were swimming or running away from a monster that could
control the water.
"Oh no!" screamed Zelda. Zelda pulled out the bow and strung an arrow. She sot the
arrow but it just passed through the water. She then noticed a round monster flowing
through the water. "There!" she screamed. She jumped on a small island and strung
another arrow. She shot it at the monster. The arrow almost hit the monster but it
dodged. "The water slows down the arrow!" said Zelda. She threw down the bow and
arrow and unsheathed her small sword. She jumped in the water. Zelda swam to the
small monster and tried to cut it but it dodged the sword. Zelda continued to swipe at the
monster but every blow was dodged. Until finally one hit. It only injured the monster,
but it swam away. Zelda was about to chase it but saw that the water was turning to ice!
Zelda swam up to the top and quickly climbed out. Zelda looked around and saw
hundreds of Zoras frozen under the ice! Zelda was looking for a break in the ice to get
the Zoras out but there weren't any, except one. But the water was freezing to quickly!
Zelda ran over to the hole. A Zora was quickly trying to swim to the hole. Zelda shoved
her hand into the water.
"Grab my hand!" screamed Zelda. She wasn't sure the Zora heard her, but it saw her
hand. The Zora grabbed the hand and tried to pull itself up while Zelda was trying to pull
the Zora up.
"Its hopeless!" thought Zelda. The hole was quickly shrinking with ice. Zelda pulled
with all her strength and pulled the Zora out of the water. The Zora slid onto the ice just
as the water froze completely. The Zora stood up. It was a she was wearing earrings,
royal earrings.
"Thank you, I would reward you if I could," said the female Zora. Zelda quickly knew
who this was.
"Princess Ruto!" Zelda yelled in her fake male voice.
"Yes, who are you?" asked Ruto.
"My name is Shiek," said Zelda.
"Nice to meet you but I need to get into the Water Temple and kill Morpha," said Ruto.
"Who's Morpha?" Zelda asked.
"The monster you were just fighting. It was sealed in the Water Temple but somehow it
got out," said Ruto.
"You can't go! If you just wait a little while your people will be avenged!" said Zelda.
"I can't wait that long. Thank for saving my life. Now please, leave. I don't need your
help anymore," said Zelda. Ruto turned and walked away as did Zelda.
It was the next day when Zelda got back to the cottage. Shetara ran out a grabbed Zelda.
"I was so worried! I thought a Gerudo or something kidnapped you! You poor baby,"
cried Shetara.
"I'm eighteen," said Zelda.
"What were you doing going out by yourself?" yelled Impa.
"I had a vision," said Zelda. Impa calmed down. If Zelda had a vision and it told her to
go somewhere Impa wouldn't stop her.
"Come in and tell me about the vision," said Impa.
Zelda came in and told Impa about Rauru coming to her, teaching her the songs, and
telling her to go to Zora's Domain.
"He said that Link would be coming back soon. But he didn't say from where," finished
Zelda. Impa pondered this. Suddenly Zelda popped up.
"Do we have a book about the Legend of the Hero of Time?" asked Zelda.
"Yes," said Shetara. "Do you want me to go get it?"
"Yes. Thank you," replied Zelda. Shetara got up and got the book.
For the next several days Zelda was reading everything she could about the Hero of
Time.
"Impa! Come here!" screamed Zelda. Impa walked into the room.
"Yes?" asked Impa.
"I think I know where Link is and why," said Zelda.
"You think he's the Hero of Time?" asked Impa.
"Yes. Here's why.
1. It says that when an evil falls upon Hyrule the Hero of Time will appear. When
Ganondorf came so did Link.
2. It says that the Hero of Time will slumber for seven years before saving Hyrule. We
know Link will come back. I think Link is in the Sacred Realm since he didn't show up
after he entered the Temple of Time," explained Zelda.
"He might not have entered the Temple of Time. He could have been captured and will
break free once the seven years are over," said Impa.
"No, the book also says that the keys to the Sacred Realm are the Spiritual Stones, The
Ocarina of Time, the Song of Time, and the Master Sword," said Zelda.
"Ganondorf might have stolen all of those except the Master Sword. He could have
opened the Door of Time and pulled the Master Sword from the Pedestal of Time," said
Impa.
"Possibly, but the Master Sword is also called 'The Sword of Evil's Bane'. Evil cannot
touch the sword. Also, only the person worthy of the title of the Hero of Time can pull
the Master Sword out of the pedestal. We know Ganondorf isn't. So he couldn't have
gotten the Triforce of Power unless Link opened the gateway first," explained Zelda.
"You believe that Link is the Hero of Time and will save us from Ganondorf, do you?"
asked Impa.
"Yes," answered Zelda.
"I hope he is," said Impa.
That night Impa couldn't sleep. She had something weighing down on her. She didn't
know if it was Link being the Hero of Time or what. She kept hearing the word Shadow
in her mind. Impa pondered this for a while. Finally, when the sun was just rising over
the once beautiful land of Hyrule, Impa understood. Just like Zelda, Impa armed herself
with every weapon she could hold. She walked to the door.
"Impa?" wondered a Shetara. "Where are you going?"
"To fight an old enemy," said Impa as though in a trance.
"Your not going to fight Ganondorf all alone are you!" yelled Shetara.
"No," answered Impa. Impa opened the front door and left.
Shetara yelling woke Zelda up. Zelda got up and walked over to Shetara.
"What's wrong?" asked Zelda.
"Impa just left! All she said was that she was going to fight an old enemy," answered
Shetara.
"She's not going to fight Ganondorf is she?" asked Zelda.
"She said she wasn't," Shetara answered.
"I wonder who she's talking about," wondered Zelda. After a few minutes Zelda snapped
her fingers. "I remember her telling me a story about how one time she sealed a shadow
monster that was terrorizing Kakariko Village under the Kakariko well one time."
"Shouldn't you go and help her?" asked Shetara.
"No, I'd just get in her way," answered Zelda. "She knows how to be the monster. And
she did it alone the last time she fought it."
"What if Ganondorf gave it a power up or something like that?" asked Shetara. Zelda
looked at Shetara, jumped up, and quickly armed herself and chased after Impa.
Impa ran into Kakariko Village and started to climb down the well as the villagers
watched in curiosity. The villagers looked down the long dried out well (the windmill
man complained about some kid doing it) and watched Impa enter the small dungeon that
was under there. There was almost immediately screaming and yelling and explosions.
Suddenly there was a loud BANG! as an iron plate slammed into the entrance of the
dungeon. Then there was a whizzing sound as if someone was melding the plate to the
entrance. Then all was quiet. Suddenly Zelda (in her Shiek disguise) ran into the village
and looked down the well. Zelda climbed down the well and swore as she saw the iron
plate.
"Does someone have something to remove this thing!" yelled Zelda. No one knew what
was happening but they threw down a large mallet. "This is it!" screamed Zelda.
Someone was about to reply but Zelda started to hit the plate. "Just the kind of person
Impa is," thought Zelda. "Locking herself in the bottom of a well with a shadow monster
to keep it away from everyone else." After an hour of whacking at the iron plate Zelda
gave up. There wasn't even a dent. "Maybe if I had the Megaton Hammer of the
Goron's" thought Zelda. Zelda climbed up the well.
"What was that about?" asked one villager.
"When my partner first founded Kakariko Village she sealed a shadow monster beneath
the well. Somehow it must have broken the seal so Mera came back and tried to seal it
again," explained Zelda.
"Her name was Mera? But a Shiekah named Impa founded the town. I think you're up
to something, sir," said one villager.
"Um. I mean she helped found the town. She knew Impa," said Zelda.
"I was there when the shadow spirit was first sealed and Impa was the only one who
sealed it. No one was with her," yelled a little old lady.
"Ummm. My partner knew Impa very well so she thinks she did it herself?" said Zelda.
"Is that a question?" asked a villager.
"Umm, no?" answered Zelda.
"What's you name?" yelled a villager in the back.
"Zel... Shiek!" yelled Zelda.
"Zelshiek? That's a weird name for a Shiekah," said a villager.
"Can we just forget I was here?" asked Zelda.
"First you need to answer some questions. You're not who you say you are," answered a
villager. Several villagers slowly walked toward Zelda while Zelda backed away a little
quicker. When the villagers started to walk faster Zelda turned around and bolted.
She reached the cottage breathing hard and sweating more than she had had in her whole
life (except when she was in the Fire Temple).
"What happened? Where's Impa?" asked Shetara immediately.
"She's in the bottom of the well in Kakariko," answered Zelda breathlessly.
"And your not helping her!" yelled Shetara.
"I couldn't she sealed herself in with the shadow spirit," said Zelda.
"What?" asked Shetara. Zelda told Impa about the whole thing.
"I can't believe she did that!" said Shetara.
"It was just like with Vovalgia. She couldn't let it loose. Only the stakes were higher.
You can't very well kill a shadow," said Zelda.
"But if it's a shadow it can't do any harm. It has to have a solid shape," said Shetara.
"It does. But it probably can only hold that form in the dark. There's nothing we can
do," said Zelda. Zelda went into her room and slept.
Zelda was awoken by a noise but she didn't know where it had come from. Zelda
listened closely. There it was! A rustling sound! Like something was moving through
the bushes and flowers outside her window. Seven years ago Zelda would have assumed
it was a Keaton or something but she had long since grown a battle sense. Not trusting
anything except her comrades. Sometimes she wondered if soldiers had this perpetual
fear of a sneak attack, but not now. All she cared about was finding what that noise was.
Zelda put on her hood and mask and took her small sword with her. She then checked
the bushes. She found a torn cloth on one of the roses' thorns. Suddenly a figure in the
dark ran! Zelda chased after it. The person turned around to see who was chasing him.
But it allowed Zelda to see whom she was chasing. It was a one of the Kakariko
Villagers!
"Get back here!" screamed Zelda. Zelda caught up to the man and swiped at him with
her sword. But he dodged and turned around. He then punched her in the jaw. Zelda's
head snapped back. She tripped over her feet and landed on the ground.
"That wasn't just a villager!" thought Zelda. "He's been trained in fighting!" Zelda got
up and raced after the villager. Zelda whistled for Shulta. When the white horse reached
Zelda she jumped up and sat in the saddle. Shulta quickly reached the villager. Zelda
grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him up. But he shifted his weight so he swung
up. He kicked Shulta's head. When the horse started to fall to the right he swung up and
again and kicked Zelda's head left. When Zelda hit the ground the last thing she thought
before blacking out was "He's good".
"Are you alright?" Shetara asked when Zelda woke up.
"Nnnn. Yeah," answered Zelda.
"You don't have any broken bones or anything. I woke up and found you and Shulta
lying on the ground. I though you were dead. What happened last night?" asked Shetara.
Zelda told her.
"If he was working for Ganondorf-which his probably was-we need to get out of here.
Now," said Zelda.
"I'll go pack," said Shetara.
"Only get what we need. Like food and weapons and maybe the legend books," said
Zelda.
It took an hour to gather everything that they would need. "There's a small settlement by
the Calatian border. We'll hide there," said Zelda. Zelda and Shetara got on Shulta and
started to slowly gallop toward Calatia. Halfway there they heard screams, female, male,
and inhuman screams. But they weren't screams of pain or fear; they were screams of an
upcoming battle.
"Its Ganondorf's army!" yelled Zelda. The screams and yells were getting nearer. Zelda
stopped Shulta.
"Shetara, you continue to ride to Calatia. I'll stay and see if I can hold," said Zelda.
"You can't defeat an army!" screamed Shetara.
"I don't plan on defeating them. Just delaying them. Now go!" said Zelda. She slapped
Shulta's behind and made her gallop off. Zelda took out the two curved scythes her and
Impa had gotten when they tried to find a traitor Gerudo. She could see hundreds of
small dots in the distance. They were growing larger. After several minutes of watching
the army she could detect what some of the species were. There were the Gerudo, the
Lizalfols, the Stalfos- a race of skeleton warriors, the Moblins-a race of pig-like creatures
with spears, and the King of Evil was there himself. Ganondorf.
"This isn't going be easy," thought Zelda. Zelda started to run to the army.
The front lines were the Lizalfols. Zelda leaped up and sliced the head off of one of the
Lizalfols. One Lizalfols jumped at Zelda but Zelda blocked the sword and cut deep into
the stomach of the Lizalfol. A Moblin rushed to Zelda spear pointed at her. Zelda cut the
point off and stabbed the Moblin. A Stalfos stabbed at Zelda but Zelda knocked the
sword away. Zelda cut at the Stalfos but it blocked the scythe with its shield. Behind
Zelda a Gerudo swung her scythe at her. At the same time the Stalfos swung its sword at
Zelda. Zelda held her scythes out and blocked both blades. Zelda jumped at and kicked
the Gerudo in the head. Zelda then cut the Stalfos's head off.
"Stop!" yelled a voice, a voice that scared Zelda more than fighting a whole army. For
the voice belonged to a man who had more power than two armies. He was Ganondorf.
"I want the pleasure of killing this rebellious Shiekah," said Ganondorf. Ganondorf rode
to the front of his army and raised his hand so it was pointing at Zelda.
"What is your name boy?" Ganondorf asked.
"Shiek," answered Zelda.
"Shiek huh? Goodbye Shiek," said Ganondorf. Light flowed toward Ganondorf's hand
and formed a ball. Ganondorf pulled his hand back and shot it forward. The ball zoomed
toward Zelda. Zelda instinctively swung her scythes at the ball of dark magic. When the
scythes and ball hit the ball changed direction and zoomed back at Ganondorf.
Ganondorf jumped off his horse and flied into the air. The ball hit Ganondorf's horse.
The horse screamed in pain and fell down dead. Ganondorf shot another magic ball at
Zelda. This time Zelda dodged and the ball hit the ground. When the ball hit the ground
exploded. There was a three-foot deep crater in the ground. This time Ganondorf just
hung in the air, his cape flowing behind him. Ganondorf raised both arms in the air. A
hole in time and space was made. Five beams of dark magic flew out of the hole! Zelda
ran as fast as she could. Everywhere the beams hit there was a great explosion! Four of
the five beams hit Ganondorf's army. But one was heading for Zelda!
"This is it!" thought Zelda. "I'm doomed!" Zelda stopped and turned to her fate. But
suddenly she felt great sadness. No one will be able to teach Link the songs or tell him
where to go. Suddenly she felt great anger! How dare Ganondorf do this to Hyrule! All
they wanted were peace!
Zelda was ready for the impact and the pain. But nothing happened. Zelda looked up
and saw that she was in a protective crystal! The dark magic was hitting the crystal then
bouncing off!
"By the goddesses!" thought Zelda.
"Argh!" screamed Ganondorf. "The goddesses are protecting him!" Ganondorf shot
beam after beam at Zelda but each one was deflected by the crystal. Ganondorf could do
nothing.
SHE WILL SURVIVE THIS ATTACK. HER DESTINY WILL KEEP HER SAFE.
"Who is that?" screamed Ganondorf. "Nayru?"
IT IS I. YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER THIS ACCOUNTER. ZELDA WILL ONLY
REMEMBER THIS AS DEJA VU.
"Zelda! This is Zelda!" screamed Ganondorf. A bright blue light covered the ground.
Ganondorf and his remaining army disappeared. Zelda could only remember the battle
very faintly. Like it happened to somebody else who told her about it. She could
remember the villager who was spying on them and leaving the cottage for fear of attack.
But she couldn't remember why she had sent Shetara off to Calatia by herself and stayed
behind. But suddenly Zelda had a strong feeling to go to the Temple of Time.
"That must be why I let Shetara go by herself," thought Zelda. Zelda started to run
toward the former Hyrule Castle Town Market.
It was hours later when Zelda the Temple of Time. Dark clouds filled the sky. Zelda
entered the Temple of time. Inside Zelda could see the three Spiritual Stones on the alter.
The Door of Time was open. Zelda entered the small room behind the Door of Time.
Inside a large beam of blue light went from a small pedestal on the ground to the ceiling.
Zelda could see a figure inside the beam.
"Is that Link?" Zelda wondered. Suddenly the beam began to grow smaller. More and
more of Link was revealed. Instantly, Zelda knew what to say to Link. Finally, when the
blue beam diminished, Link got up from a kneeling position holding the Master Sword.
Link swung it around a little trying it out. Zelda stepped forward.
To Be Continued............

Zelda and Adventure of Link) used to live.

"Can we just forget I was here?" asked Zelda.
"First you need to answer some questions. You're not who you say you are," answered a
villager. Several villagers slowly walked toward Zelda while Zelda backed away a little
quicker. When the villagers started to walk faster Zelda turned around and bolted.
She reached the cottage breathing hard and sweating more than she had had in her whole
life (except when she was in the Fire Temple).
"What happened? Where's Impa?" asked Shetara immediately.
"She's in the bottom of the well in Kakariko," answered Zelda breathlessly.
"And your not helping her!" yelled Shetara.
"I couldn't she sealed herself in with the shadow spirit," said Zelda.
"What?" asked Shetara. Zelda told Impa about the whole thing.
"I can't believe she did that!" said Shetara.
"It was just like with Vovalgia. She couldn't let it loose. Only the stakes were higher.
You can't very well kill a shadow," said Zelda.
"But if it's a shadow it can't do any harm. It has to have a solid shape," said Shetara.
"It does. But it probably can only hold that form in the dark. There's nothing we can
do," said Zelda. Zelda went into her room and slept.
Zelda was awoken by a noise but she didn't know where it had come from. Zelda
listened closely. There it was! A rustling sound! Like something was moving through
the bushes and flowers outside her window. Seven years ago Zelda would have assumed
it was a Keaton or something but she had long since grown a battle sense. Not trusting
anything except her comrades. Sometimes she wondered if soldiers had this perpetual
fear of a sneak attack, but not now. All she cared about was finding what that noise was.
Zelda put on her hood and mask and took her small sword with her. She then checked
the bushes. She found a torn cloth on one of the roses' thorns. Suddenly a figure in the
dark ran! Zelda chased after it. The person turned around to see who was chasing him.
But it allowed Zelda to see whom she was chasing. It was a one of the Kakariko
Villagers!
"Get back here!" screamed Zelda. Zelda caught up to the man and swiped at him with
her sword. But he dodged and turned around. He then punched her in the jaw. Zelda's
head snapped back. She tripped over her feet and landed on the ground.
"That wasn't just a villager!" thought Zelda. "He's been trained in fighting!" Zelda got
up and raced after the villager. Zelda whistled for Shulta. When the white horse reached
Zelda she jumped up and sat in the saddle. Shulta quickly reached the villager. Zelda
grabbed the back of his shirt and pulled him up. But he shifted his weight so he swung
up. He kicked Shulta's head. When the horse started to fall to the right he swung up and
again and kicked Zelda's head left. When Zelda hit the ground the last thing she thought
before blacking out was "He's good".
"Are you alright?" Shetara asked when Zelda woke up.
"Nnnn. Yeah," answered Zelda.
"You don't have any broken bones or anything. I woke up and found you and Shulta
lying on the ground. I though you were dead. What happened last night?" asked Shetara.
Zelda told her.
"If he was working for Ganondorf-which his probably was-we need to get out of here.
Now," said Zelda.
"I'll go pack," said Shetara.
"Only get what we need. Like food and weapons and maybe the legend books," said
Zelda.
It took an hour to gather everything that they would need. "There's a small settlement by
the Calatian border. We'll hide there," said Zelda. Zelda and Shetara got on Shulta and
started to slowly gallop toward Calatia. Halfway there they heard screams, female, male,
and inhuman screams. But they weren't screams of pain or fear; they were screams of an
upcoming battle.
"Its Ganondorf's army!" yelled Zelda. The screams and yells were getting nearer. Zelda
stopped Shulta.
"Shetara, you continue to ride to Calatia. I'll stay and see if I can hold," said Zelda.
"You can't defeat an army!" screamed Shetara.
"I don't plan on defeating them. Just delaying them. Now go!" said Zelda. She slapped
Shulta's behind and made her gallop off. Zelda took out the two curved scythes her and
Impa had gotten when they tried to find a traitor Gerudo. She could see hundreds of
small dots in the distance. They were growing larger. After several minutes of watching
the army she could detect what some of the species were. There were the Gerudo, the
Lizalfols, the Stalfos- a race of skeleton warriors, the Moblins-a race of pig-like creatures
with spears, and the King of Evil was there himself. Ganondorf.
"This isn't going be easy," thought Zelda. Zelda started to run to the army.
The front lines were the Lizalfols. Zelda leaped up and sliced the head off of one of the
Lizalfols. One Lizalfols jumped at Zelda but Zelda blocked the sword and cut deep into
the stomach of the Lizalfol. A Moblin rushed to Zelda spear pointed at her. Zelda cut the
point off and stabbed the Moblin. A Stalfos stabbed at Zelda but Zelda knocked the
sword away. Zelda cut at the Stalfos but it blocked the scythe with its shield. Behind
Zelda a Gerudo swung her scythe at her. At the same time the Stalfos swung its sword at
Zelda. Zelda held her scythes out and blocked both blades. Zelda jumped at and kicked
the Gerudo in the head. Zelda then cut the Stalfos's head off.
"Stop!" yelled a voice, a voice that scared Zelda more than fighting a whole army. For
the voice belonged to a man who had more power than two armies. He was Ganondorf.
"I want the pleasure of killing this rebellious Shiekah," said Ganondorf. Ganondorf rode
to the front of his army and raised his hand so it was pointing at Zelda.
"What is your name boy?" Ganondorf asked.
"Shiek," answered Zelda.
"Shiek huh? Goodbye Shiek," said Ganondorf. Light flowed toward Ganondorf's hand
and formed a ball. Ganondorf pulled his hand back and shot it forward. The ball zoomed
toward Zelda. Zelda instinctively swung her scythes at the ball of dark magic. When the
scythes and ball hit the ball changed direction and zoomed back at Ganondorf.
Ganondorf jumped off his horse and flied into the air. The ball hit Ganondorf's horse.
The horse screamed in pain and fell down dead. Ganondorf shot another magic ball at
Zelda. This time Zelda dodged and the ball hit the ground. When the ball hit the ground
exploded. There was a three-foot deep crater in the ground. This time Ganondorf just
hung in the air, his cape flowing behind him. Ganondorf raised both arms in the air. A
hole in time and space was made. Five beams of dark magic flew out of the hole! Zelda
ran as fast as she could. Everywhere the beams hit there was a great explosion! Four of
the five beams hit Ganondorf's army. But one was heading for Zelda!
"This is it!" thought Zelda. "I'm doomed!" Zelda stopped and turned to her fate. But
suddenly she felt great sadness. No one will be able to teach Link the songs or tell him
where to go. Suddenly she felt great anger! How dare Ganondorf do this to Hyrule! All
they wanted were peace!
Zelda was ready for the impact and the pain. But nothing happened. Zelda looked up
and saw that she was in a protective crystal! The dark magic was hitting the crystal then
bouncing off!
"By the goddesses!" thought Zelda.
"Argh!" screamed Ganondorf. "The goddesses are protecting him!" Ganondorf shot
beam after beam at Zelda but each one was deflected by the crystal. Ganondorf could do
nothing.
SHE WILL SURVIVE THIS ATTACK. HER DESTINY WILL KEEP HER SAFE.
"Who is that?" screamed Ganondorf. "Nayru?"
IT IS I. YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER THIS ACCOUNTER. ZELDA WILL ONLY
REMEMBER THIS AS DEJA VU.
"Zelda! This is Zelda!" screamed Ganondorf. A bright blue light covered the ground.
Ganondorf and his remaining army disappeared. Zelda could only remember the battle
very faintly. Like it happened to somebody else who told her about it. She could
remember the villager who was spying on them and leaving the cottage for fear of attack.
But she couldn't remember why she had sent Shetara off to Calatia by herself and stayed
behind. But suddenly Zelda had a strong feeling to go to the Temple of Time.
"That must be why I let Shetara go by herself," thought Zelda. Zelda started to run
toward the former Hyrule Castle Town Market.
It was hours later when Zelda the Temple of Time. Dark clouds filled the sky. Zelda
entered the Temple of time. Inside Zelda could see the three Spiritual Stones on the alter.
The Door of Time was open. Zelda entered the small room behind the Door of Time.
Inside a large beam of blue light went from a small pedestal on the ground to the ceiling.
Zelda could see a figure inside the beam.
"Is that Link?" Zelda wondered. Suddenly the beam began to grow smaller. More and
more of Link was revealed. Instantly, Zelda knew what to say to Link. Finally, when the
blue beam diminished, Link got up from a kneeling position holding the Master Sword.
Link swung it around a little trying it out. Zelda stepped forward.
