The moment the four arrived in Zora's Domain, Zelda immediately went to
bed. Tilkate took care of her burnt hands. "Hey, Tilkate," Said Zelda.
"Yeah?" Tilkate replied.
"You really like Han don't you?" Zelda asked.
Tilkate sighed and nodded, "I'm in love with him." She said.
"I thought so," Zelda replied with a grin.
"What do you mean 'thought so'?" Tilkate asked.
"Well, Navi and I kind of saw you two kissing in Kakiriko Village."
"Oh my goodness!" Tilkate replied, "You did?!"
"Yes, no need to be embarrassed." Zelda replied.
Meanwhile, Link could hear Dark Link yelling at someone in the other room. He could not make out what he was yelling about, though. "No telling," He thought. Dark Link then stormed into the room. He looked angry, but then he got a sick satisfied look on his face.
"Enjoying yourself, Link?" He asked.
"Who were you yelling at now?" Link asked.
"None of your business." Dark Link replied.
"We don't you just kill me?" Link asked.
"What would be the fun in killing you fast a painless?" Dark Link asked with an evil grin.
"You're sick," Link replied.
"Tell me, Link," Said Dark Link, "What do you think when you see me like this?" He then made himself look exactly like Link. Even though he was using Link's body, he still made himself look like himself unless he was trying to fool someone with Link's image.
"What kind of game are you playing now?" Link asked annoyed.
"Don't you ever feel like you don't exist?" Dark Link asked.
"What?" Link asked.
Dark Link changed his voice to make it sound like Link's. "I am Link." He said.
"No you're not," Link replied.
"You are a mere dying spirit," Dark Link said, "You no longer exist anymore."
Link closed his eyes. He refused to look at Dark Link. He was trying to confuse him. Trying to make him think he was already dead. Trying to make him forget his own identity. "I've got to remember," Link thought, "Zelda...were is Zelda?"
Tilkate walked into a room and saw Han slapping the water in the fountain.
"Why are you beating up the water?" She asked.
Han was startled. He quickly turned around, looking nervous. "Huh, what?" He asked, "Oh I was...I was trying to drown a bug."
"Oh," Tilkate replied.
"How's Zelda's hands?" He asked.
"They're better," She answered.
"Good." He replied.
She walked up to him and put her arms around him. "I was so scared you were going to fall into that lava." She said.
"Well, you saved me and I'm here now right?" He asked.
She nodded and smiled, "Yeah."
He smiled back and kissed her.
"You should get some sleep," He said.
"Good night," She said.
Han looked back at the water in the fountain and sighed. He turned around to see a Zora couple.
"Hello," Said Han.
"This place will be dark soon am I right?" The male Zora asked.
"Yes," Han answered, "It's not too late to leave."
"We will not leave our home," The female Zora replied.
"Please listen," Said Han, "The Gorons that stayed in Death Mountain were killed after it became dark. We have barely survived this mission. Lady Tilkate's arm was wounded, Princess Zelda's hands were burnt, and I have got a few scrapes and bruises. Please leave this place!"
The two Zoras looked at each other and nodded.
"I guess it will not hurt if we left for a while," Said the male.
"It will hurt if you stay," Han replied, "If you leave now, you should be able to get to Lunta safely."
"Thank you, Sir Han," The female said.
The next morning, Zelda woke up after a nice sleep. She hadn't slept well in a while. "I was that tired, huh?" she thought as she sat up. She got up and put a different dress on. The dress was like her other one, but this one was purple. She got her things together and walked out the door. Tilkate and Han was still getting ready so she decided to go to Princess Ruto's room. She did not know why, but she just wanted to see it.
Ruto's room was pretty much empty. Princess Ruto had not been here ever since she found out she was the Sage of Water. Zelda suddenly felt like she needed to look under Ruto's bet. "Why do I need to look under someone's bed?" She asked herself, "Oh well, I guess I'm just that bored."
She used her powers to scoot the bed over. Zelda's eyes widened. There was a door under the bed. "Han, Tilkate, Navi! Come here!" She called.
Tilkate, Han, and Navi came into the room and saw Zelda sitting in front of the door.
"What is it?" Tilkate asked.
"There's a door here," Said Zelda.
"Do you think it leads to the crystal?" Navi asked.
"It's possible," Said Han and opened the door. He then jumped in.
The room Han was in was very odd. The walls were clear which meant he could see outside. He could see all the water and fish. It was kind of relaxing. "Hey, come down!" He called.
Navi flew down followed by Zelda and Tilkate.
"Do you think Ruto knew about this?" Navi asked.
"I don't know," Zelda replied.
"Well, let's see if that crystal in down here," Said Han opening the door on the other side.
The women followed behind. They were now in a larger room. It seemed to be empty.
"Well, I guess we just keep on going," Said Han. He tried to open the door and the other side, but it would not open.
"It must have some kind of spell on it," Said Zelda. At that moment, a giant monster appeared behind them. It was a giant electric jellyfish. It stretched out on of its tentacles and wrapped it around Tilkate's waist. Tilkate screamed in pain as she felt the electric charges go through her. Han tried to use his sword to cut off the tentacle, but an electric charge went through his sword and shocked him. The screams from Tilkate were so painful for Han.
"We've got to do something!" He said.
Zelda drew her bow and shot the tentacle with an arrow. The jellyfish immediately let Tilkate go. Han pulled her out of the way and leaned her against the wall. She was moaning and coughing for breath. "Stay here," Han said and went back to help Zelda. Zelda gave her bow to Han while she used magic.
It was a very tough battle. The creature had so many tentacles that could reach out and electrocute someone. When they finally got rid of all the tentacles, they had to go for the main body. Zelda charged up a fire spell and Han shot an arrow at it. He shot one last arrow and Zelda used her fire spell. The electric jellyfish burned and crumbled in pieces.
Han came back to Tilkate and put his hands on her cheeks. "You're okay aren't you?" He asked.
"Yes, I'm fine," She said.
He embraced her and sighed, "I was really scared that thing was going to kill you," He said.
"I'm fine thanks to you and Zelda," She said, "Let's go, maybe that door will open."
Zelda turned the handle on the door and it opened. They went into the next room. The room looked exactly like the Sacred Forest Meadow except the walls was sliver and white and reached all the way up to the ceiling.
"It looks like a maze," Said Navi.
The walked further in and sure enough, it was a maze, but there was one difference, this maze had mirrors on the walls.
"We need to stay together at all costs," Said Zelda.
"Let's hold hands," Han suggested.
Han decided to lead. He held Tilkate's hand and Tilkate held Zelda's hand. They walked slowly through the maze, hoping they would not get separated. Tilkate looked at one of the mirrors and what she saw shocked her. She gasped and let go of Han and Zelda's hand.
"Tilkate, what's wrong?" Han asked.
"Ian..." Said Tilkate putting her hand on the mirror.
"Tilkate, what do you see?" Zelda asked.
"It's Ian and I," Tilkate said, "The night we ran away..the night he was murdered."
Tilkate suddenly screamed and ran.
"Tilkate! No!" Han called chasing her. Zelda and Navi followed behind.
Zelda suddenly stopped and looked at a mirror. She saw Link dying in her arms. It was the day he saved her from Keel. She put her face in her hands and fell to her knees. This maze was showing painful images from the past.
Han continued to run after Tilkate, but it was no good. He lost her. He sighed and looked around. "Tilkate!" He called. He turned around and saw an image in a mirror. He saw himself and..
"Han!" Tilkate called.
He turned around and smiled. "You worried me," He said.
"I'm sorry," She said.
"Just don't run away from me again, okay?" He said holding out his hand.
She smiled and put her hand in his, "I promise."
"We need to find Zelda," He said.
Zelda walked down the maze. She saw one painful memory after another. She saw Ganondorf taking over Hyrule, Link falling unconscious for seven years, Link being taken by Abesh's army. Then she realized something, these memories were working as directions out of the maze. She walked into the direction of where the memory of Link's seven year slumber was, then the direction of the memory of Ganondorf taking over..she continued following the memories in order of which they happened.
Zelda saw one memory she did not recognize. She saw Link up against a wall. It looked like some invisible force was holding him up. He was dying. It looked like each breath he took was painful. She knew what this was. Link was in his ghostly form. He did not have his body because of Dark Link. "This is the future!" She gasped.
"Does that mean Link is going to die if we don't hurry?" Navi asked.
"It looks like it," Zelda replied.
Tears came to Zelda's eyes. She put her hand on the image of Link's face. She stood there looking at Link until Tilkate and Han caught up with her.
"Zelda, what's wrong?" Tilkate asked.
"We have to hurry," Zelda replied, "Link is going to die."
"How do you know?" Tilkate asked.
"I saw him," Zelda answered, "I saw him dying in this mirror."
"The last mirror shows the future?" Han asked.
Zelda nodded. "Come on," She said, "We have to go now."
Tilkate had to admit, she wanted to see her future, but Zelda looked so upset so she decided to let to future surprise her.
They went into the next room. What they saw surprised him. It looked like they were in Zelda's courtyard. Zelda looked in front of her. "Link?!" She gasped.
Tilkate, Han, and Navi looked at her. Zelda ran to the other end of the room.
"Zelda! That's not Link!" Tilkate called, but Zelda didn't hear. She ran to Link's image. He turned around and smiled. The image faded and Link turned into a Stalfos monster. He swung his sword towards Zelda, but Han's sword suddenly blocked it. Zelda grabbed her daggers and stabbed the monster's rib cage. Han knocked its skull like head off. Zelda then got its arms. Han kicked it in the stomach and it finally fell apart.
"I'm so sorry," Zelda said, "I can't believe I fell for that."
"Don't worry about it," Han replied.
"This is a cursed place," Said Tilkate, "That's for sure."
"I'll have to agree with you on that," Zelda replied.
"Well, let's get going," Said Han.
They went into the next room and to their surprise, there was the crystal. Tilkate walked up to it and looked at Han.
"Han, you know I'll probably do that weird thing again." She said.
Han nodded, "Yeah, I know."
Tilkate grinned and looked at the crystal.
Zelda looked at Han and laughed. "It freaks you out that much?" She asked. She had to yell because of the gusts of wind.
"Yeah it does," He replied.
"The waters are dark," Said Tilkate in the same odd tone, "No living creature will survive Morpha's grasp."
Han, Zelda, and Navi looked at each other and then at Tilkate. Tilkate closed her eyes and opened them. "Did I do it again?" She asked.
"Almost," Han answered, "You said something about the waters being dark and no one being able to survive Morpha, who ever that is."
"Morpha was the servant of the Water Temple," Navi explained, "Link had defeated him."
"I thought the switches were supposed to be in the temples, though," Han commented. At that moment, a ladder dropped from an opening in the ceiling.
"I wonder where it leads." Navi said.
"One way to find out," Zelda replied and began climbing the ladder. When she was all the way up, Han, Navi, and Tilkate could hear her saying; "I see now!"
Han and Tilkate climbed the ladder and saw that they were in a room in the Water Temple.
"So I guess technically we were in the Water Temple?" Navi asked.
"Yeah," Zelda replied.
They walked out of the room and were now outside the main central tower. What surprised them was the water. It did not look normal.
"Oh no," Navi whispered.
"What?" Han asked.
"Morpha!" Navi answered.
They heard a loud splash. They ran to the other side and saw what looked like a round, pink, nucleus. It had a long, blue, jelly like body. There was another splash and it went under the water to the point where they could not see it. They looked around, but it was no use. Tilkate suddenly felt something wrap around her waist. She was then lifted up and was being swung around.
"Tilkate!" Han gasped. He stabbed Morpha's body, but nothing happened. "What do we do?!" He asked.
"We need to destroy that nucleus." Said Navi.
"I'll try using arrows," Said Zelda, "Han, use the hookshot."
Zelda fitted an arrow on her bow and aimed it at the nucleus. She let the arrow fly and it was a direct hit. Morpha let out a moan and flung Tilkate against a wall. Han ran to her side as Zelda kept shooting arrows.
"Tilkate, are you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine," She answered and got up.
"Han!" Zelda called, "I don't think this thing is getting weaker!"
"Try using your blades." Navi suggested.
Han aimed the hookshot at the nucleus. When he shot it, it latched onto it and pulled it towards him. Zelda grabbed her daggers and sliced it in two. The two pieces jumped back into the water. What happened next made the battle a lot harder. There were now two Morphas. They both stretched their bodies towards the three. Han kept trying to get a clear shot at the nucleus, but it was impossible. It was moving too fast.
"Let's make a run for it!" Han suggested.
"I don't think we have a choice," Zelda replied.
They all quickly ran to the other side of the tower. All they would have to do is swim to the other side where the exit was. When they jumped into the water, it felt like they jumped into glue. They swam as fast as they could.
"Morpha is coming!" Tilkate gasped.
Han was the first to make it out. He stretched out his hand for Zelda and then Tilkate. They quickly ran outside.
Everything was dark. The waters of Hyrule made a dramatic change.
"This is creepy," Tilkate commented, "Let's get out of here."
"Oh no," Said Han.
"What?" Zelda asked.
"We're in Lake Hylia," He answered, "We left our horses near Zora's River."
"Don't worry," Zelda replied, "I know what to do. Let's just get out of here before.."
They all heard a loud screech. They looked up to see a huge black bird with red glowing eyes flying up ahead.
"It's looking for food," Zelda whispered.
"Yeah, and we'd be perfect for a bird that size!" Han replied.
They all looked at each other and ran out of there.
When they were safe on the field, Zelda played Epona's song with her harp. After a few minutes Epona ran to them.
"I will ride her back and get our horses." Zelda said.
"It would be hard to ride Epona back and hold the reign of our horses." Han replied.
"Han, why don't you go with her?" Tilkate suggested.
"We can't leave you alone," Said Han.
"Epona can't hold all three of us," Tilkate insisted, "I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Zelda asked.
"I can stay with her and warn her about approaching enemies," Said Navi.
"Okay," Said Zelda, "Just be careful."
Han and Zelda mounted Epona and rode off to get the other two horses.
Tilkate sat down on a rock and sighed. "Is it almost over?" She thought, "All we need to do is go through the Gerudo deserts and go to Kakiriko Village. Wait, Kakariko is dark. It's going to be difficult getting in there safely. I wonder how big Dark Link's place is. Will we be able to find Link there..what if..Dark Link's castle is Zelda and Link's castle in the Dark World?"
"Yeah?" Tilkate replied.
"You really like Han don't you?" Zelda asked.
Tilkate sighed and nodded, "I'm in love with him." She said.
"I thought so," Zelda replied with a grin.
"What do you mean 'thought so'?" Tilkate asked.
"Well, Navi and I kind of saw you two kissing in Kakiriko Village."
"Oh my goodness!" Tilkate replied, "You did?!"
"Yes, no need to be embarrassed." Zelda replied.
Meanwhile, Link could hear Dark Link yelling at someone in the other room. He could not make out what he was yelling about, though. "No telling," He thought. Dark Link then stormed into the room. He looked angry, but then he got a sick satisfied look on his face.
"Enjoying yourself, Link?" He asked.
"Who were you yelling at now?" Link asked.
"None of your business." Dark Link replied.
"We don't you just kill me?" Link asked.
"What would be the fun in killing you fast a painless?" Dark Link asked with an evil grin.
"You're sick," Link replied.
"Tell me, Link," Said Dark Link, "What do you think when you see me like this?" He then made himself look exactly like Link. Even though he was using Link's body, he still made himself look like himself unless he was trying to fool someone with Link's image.

"What?" Link asked.
Dark Link changed his voice to make it sound like Link's. "I am Link." He said.
"No you're not," Link replied.
"You are a mere dying spirit," Dark Link said, "You no longer exist anymore."
Link closed his eyes. He refused to look at Dark Link. He was trying to confuse him. Trying to make him think he was already dead. Trying to make him forget his own identity. "I've got to remember," Link thought, "Zelda...were is Zelda?"
Tilkate walked into a room and saw Han slapping the water in the fountain.
"Why are you beating up the water?" She asked.
Han was startled. He quickly turned around, looking nervous. "Huh, what?" He asked, "Oh I was...I was trying to drown a bug."
"Oh," Tilkate replied.
"How's Zelda's hands?" He asked.

They all heard a loud screech. They looked up to see a huge black bird with red glowing eyes flying up ahead.
"It's looking for food," Zelda whispered.
"Yeah, and we'd be perfect for a bird that size!" Han replied.
They all looked at each other and ran out of there.
When they were safe on the field, Zelda played Epona's song with her harp. After a few minutes Epona ran to them.
"I will ride her back and get our horses." Zelda said.
"It would be hard to ride Epona back and hold the reign of our horses." Han replied.
"Han, why don't you go with her?" Tilkate suggested.
"We can't leave you alone," Said Han.
"Epona can't hold all three of us," Tilkate insisted, "I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Zelda asked.
"I can stay with her and warn her about approaching enemies," Said Navi.
"Okay," Said Zelda, "Just be careful."
Han and Zelda mounted Epona and rode off to get the other two horses.
Tilkate sat down on a rock and sighed. "Is it almost over?" She thought, "All we need to do is go through the Gerudo deserts and go to Kakiriko Village. Wait, Kakariko is dark. It's going to be difficult getting in there safely. I wonder how big Dark Link's place is. Will we be able to find Link there..what if..Dark Link's castle is Zelda and Link's castle in the Dark World?"
