Dark clouds formed around her former home. All she could do now was run, run as fast as she could. She had to escape the dark clouds, the evil, the deception, and the despair. She was completely powerless, and all her hopes had vanquished.
The hard thud of the evil menace followed her closely. Too closely. She made her way across a large field and then into a ruined village. All those people, their homes, their future, their lives! Everything is destroyed because she couldn't stop it. Because she was weak.
A tear trickled down off her cheek and hit the ground as she ran. The dark clouds engulfed the ruins of the village just has she left it and she continued up a rocky path. Red lava slowly fell from the top of the mountain, and the ash made the clouds ever darker.
The lava got thicker and covered the entire path. She was trapped. She couldn't go forward, and the darkness would engulf her if she turned around. She had to jump. It was her only hope. She had to jump off the mountainous path she ran on.
Falling there, she seemed free. But the pains of gravity took its toll and the plunged into icy cold water. The lava began to warm the water to extreme temperature and she had to leave it. She swam out of the water and ran into a dark forest. A forest that used to be full of life, but now all that life had vanquished. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a figure with a sword, but he quickly vanished and she never caught sight of him again.
The clouds were gaining on her. She felt them on the back of her neck. They sent a cold chill down her spine. She had to keep running. She had to. There had to be hope. Somewhere, somehow, there had to be hope.
Then the dark clouds caught up to her and she was engulfed in darkness. All was lost. There was no more hope. Doom had won, and fate played in its cruel truth. Despite her best efforts, she felt the icy hand of defeat.
Don't give up!
Zelda awoke with sweat trickling down her forehead. Her breathing had increased rapidly and her throat was incredibly sore. She shook her head and slowly got out of her bed. What did her dream mean? She'd been feeling something was wrong with her land of Hyrule for some time, but still. it seemed so. so real.
The princess shook off the thought. Hyrule was in protection of her father, the sages, the Hero, and herself. No one could destroy it. It would never fall like that in her dream. It was just a dream after all.
Zelda found a cup a poured some milk. Pasteurization wasn't an option in her land, but the risk here was little to none. The warm liquid soothed her throat and fatigue again took its toll on her body. She still needed sleep, despite how shaken she was. Something was so wrong, but she had no idea what.
As she began to fall back into a peaceful sleep she heard a laugh that stunned her every nerve. It was a laugh all too familiar, a laugh impossibly close and yet not even in her castle. Zelda didn't need to wait another second; she needed help now.
"Link! Link!" an annoying voice woke the Hero up from his small house atop a tree. Why couldn't people just leave him alone and let him sleep? It wasn't fair.
"What?!" Link called, not moving from his location in bed. Obviously his pillow would muffle his voice, but he liked to rest and he didn't like being woken by pestering princesses.
"Link! Wake up! It's important!" the voice called again. Link grunt and dragged himself out of his bed. He was having such a pleasant sleep, something he hadn't been able to enjoy lately.
"What do you want?!" he screamed, leaning on the edge of the door frame. His hat wasn't even on straight and his eyes were still full of morning dirt. He rubbed them before looking at the desperate princess on the early morning ground. It was Zelda, of course. What did she think she was doing so far away from the castle?
"Come down here and let me explain everything! Now wake up," Zelda demanded. "I will not have you half asleep while I tell you this."
"Well excuse me, princess," Link mocked in his most childish and annoying tone. To think the Hero was so obnoxious.
Link jumped from his house and landed right next to Zelda. She was wearing her normal clothing and jewelry and her hair was as perfect as ever, but there was something in her eyes that disturbed him. What did he do to have to put up with such a snobby woman?
"Link, I think Ganondorf broke the barrier. I think he's loose," Zelda practically cried on his holders.
"Get off me, woman," Link pulled his arm away from her. "You think your precious Hyrule is in danger again so you come back to me? Typical."
"Do you have a better idea?" she demanded.
"No, you're right. I am your only chance if it really is Ganon we're dealing with. We better get straight to the temple where the Master Sword is held," Link suggested. "I'll get my horse-"
"No need," Zelda smiled lightly, despite the terror that was in place if her suspicions were true. "I've got Farore's Wind now." Link looked at her strangely but didn't object. If some fairy gave her powers who was he to judge. She'd need something like that, being a damsel in distress and all.
Zelda grabbed Link's arm and within a matter of seconds they had teleported to the temple. The entrance to the Master Sword was sealed off, obviously, but Link could get it open again easily. All he had to do was-
Without another thought Zelda held out her left hand and cast some sort of spell. The entrance opened and in a lone light was a pedestal that held the Master Sword. Link shrugged and walked over to Master Sword and placed his hand on it. All he had to do was pull it up once more and-
An evil familiar laughter shook the temple. Zelda and Link turned around to see the evil Ganondorf was once again in the temple; once again the Triforce was together.
"Fools! You make this so easy for me!" Ganondorf sneered. He raised one hand and purple magic began to whirl around it. "You first, princess." Ganondorf used his magic filled hand and began to prepare a massive punch. Link was frozen in his tracks and didn't have enough time to save the princess this time.
Ganondorf almost let out the powerful punch but was stopped by some sort of pin in his chest. Link looked back at Zelda and found that she was no longer the snobbish princess of Hyrule he was used to. Instead she was in the disguise of Sheik, the last of the Sheikahs.
Perhaps she's not so helpless after all, Link thought. He pulled out his bow and sent an arrow of light straight for the wizard's neck. Ganondorf grabbed the arrow out of the arrow and tossed it aside.
Rage filled the evil villain and he charged at the Hero. Link dodged out of the way but Ganondorf snatched him up and brought him close to him.
"Die Hero!" Ganondorf screamed and kicked Link into Sheik. Sheik ran full speed at the wicked man but he kicked her off to the side, too. "This time Hyrule will be mine!" Ganondorf started a vertical kick towards the two young fighters, but was stopped by a blinding light coming out of Link. "Wha-?"
Link began to feel dizzy and stumbled to get on his feet. He saw double and then felt something strange happen. It was as if the childish part of him was removed and he was now just a strong Hero. His sword felt stronger and his intelligence seemed to have increased. He looked at the faces of Sheik and Ganondorf. There was no mistaking their pure astonishment.
He finally realized they were staring at more than just him, but there was something beside him. He looked down and saw it: a younger version of himself! He was wearing a smaller version of his green tunic and his sword was more of a large dagger.
"What's going on?" the Young Link asked and looked up at Link. "You- you're-" he stammered.
"Me?" Link offered. Then he set his gaze back to Ganondorf. "You can't defeat all of us," Link smirked. Before he had a chance to swing his powerful sword at the wizard, another light appeared all around him. A separate one engulfed the Young Link, and another for Sheik and yet one more for Ganondorf. Then Link lost consciousness and let the light engulf him.
