CHAPTER TWELVE
My adventure became very elongated after that. I defeated Gohdan, the floating stone headed boss of the Temple of Eternity, with the new weapon I earned there, the Hero's Bow.
I had reached the outside again and was greeted by a high ladder. I climbed, climbed, climbed to the very top and, alas! (I don't know where that came from), a bell.
I used my grappling hook to ring the large bell.
ONE. TWO. THREE! The bell boomed.
"Link!"
I looked over the edge of the tower to see the King of Red Lions down there waiting for me.
"We must leave this place!"
"Okay!" I called back, "it'll take me a while to jump back down there..."
"Jump!"
"What!" I exclaimed, "are you out of your mind! I can't"
Hero, the hero of time...
"What would the..."
"Hero of Time do?" I continued in a whisper.
I stood on the edge of the tower and, needless to say, I jumped, and quite a splash I made.
I coughed upon reaching the surface.
"I'm alive!" I cheered.
"Oh stop that rubbish," groused Red Lions, I have something very important to show you."
I climbed into my boat and we sailed, straight into a strange aura of light, which just barely emitted from the water.
The next thing I knew I was completely engulfed in the sea of water around me, but strangely enough, I could breathe.
We came out of the water. I looked at the castle in front of me. I gasped at its eerily familiar sight. And what was even stranger was that I was colorblind to everything except Red Lions and myself. Or was it the castle?
"Where are we?" I whispered to my friend.
"This, my boy, is Hyrule Castle," he answered.
It was all I could do not to breathe so heavily at the sight. Where had I seen it...
"Why are we here?"
"You are here to find the one weapon that will slay the evil Ganon and bring light to the land."
Wielding the blade of evil's bane, he sealed the dark one away and gave the land light...
"The legend..." I breathed.
I ran into the castle not even stopping to bid farewell to my companion.
After I got inside the castle, I was shocked at what I saw. The castle, completely in ruins. Everything was black and white and gray, so gray, except for one spot in the middle of the room. I was awed by my first sight of the legendary Triforce. Three golden triangles' corners were linked together, leaving an empty space for a triangle right in the middle. Slowly, I approached it.
The Triforce's tingling hum was awing. That next moment, it changed my life. I stepped onto the symbol, the blank spot, and was transported in a flash to the basement of the castle.
"Wow," I breathed in a muffled sigh. All around me, there were amazing pieces of art in the form of stained glass. I could only begin to imagine who the characters on them were. I got goose bumps from the dejà vu. I could almost imagine myself up there next to those legends...
And that was when I saw it. There it lay, stabbed into a Triforce- marked pedestal. The legendary, the ultimate, the blade of evil's bane, the Master Sword.
A blue light glowed from all around it. One step I took toward it. A second, third and fourth. I stood directly above it.
At that moment I grabbed the Master Sword by its handle and pulled! It came out of the pedestal immediately. I held it up high and squinted my eyes. I had done it. The Master Sword was mine. It was time to seal the dark one away and give the land light...

"Hero of Time do?" I continued in a whisper.
