SSBM Master: Well, the end is finally here. The Great Sea is peaceful once again. Now the only thing left to write about is what happened to our friends. I do not own Zelda etc etc. Enjoy the epilogue!
***********************************
Chapter 17: All's well that ends well!
The following takes place three months after Gannondorf was sent to the dark realm.

"Ahhh," Orca sighed. He sank down into his chair. There was nothing like taking a rest after a tough training session. Lately he had been experiencing bad cramps after sessions like this. Maybe he was getting too old to continue this rigorous training. His brother had always said it would be the end of him.
Then Orca suddenly thought of his brother. That high maintenance brother of his. Always sitting around his house reading. His brother's way was that of knowledge. Orca however couldn't stand even the thought of staying home with nothing to do but read. As long as he could stand on two feet, He would continue to train. Even if it was the death of him.
There was a knock at the door. "Come in." Orca said to his visitor. The door opened and the two twins came through. "What can I do for you my young friends?" Orca asked. Though he already knew. Orca had overheard the brothers asking their mother where Orca had been when the town was forced to live in Windfall and why he hadn't returned to outset afterwards.
"We were just wondering where you were went…you know on your trip." Orca smiled. After Link's battle with Gannondorf, he had decided to have a holiday. Orca had travelled round various islands on a trip that took him a few months.
"I decided to go on holiday." He said. "It is nothing of any interest." But the twins would not accept that as an answer.
"Where did you go?" Orca put on a loud false sigh.
"Well if you really want to know," He said half-heartedly. Though secretly, he was eager to tell the boys his stories. Just then, there was another knock. Orca beckoned the visitor to come in and the door opened to reveal Aryll.
"Hi," she said to them all. "I just came to say goodbye."
"You're leaving already?" one of the twins asked disappointed.
"Got to," Aryll said sadly. "Sorry but if I don't take this boat, there won't be another for a week."
"Well then," Orca said to her. "I wish you all the luck I have." Aryll smiled at them all.
"Goodbye then," she said and exited the room.

Makar entered the main area of Forest Haven. He had been working tirelessly for the last three months to bring the forest back to its former beauty. He had done well in his opinion. The water now flowed again, and there was grass poking up from the ground. Makar had even managed to get a few flowers to grow.
But the plant Makar was most pleased with was right in the middle. He walked over to the tree he had planted. It was still only a sapling but it was growing so well, that Makar could even make out the facial features. He had kept his seed from the last ceremony and planted it over the old Deku Tree.
The damage done here was great, but Makar took peace in the fact that one day, thanks to him, this place would be as beautiful as it once had been.

Medli sat out on the cliff face playing her harp. She had gotten a lot better over the years but still fumbled when she realised someone was watching. As though to test her thoughts, someone behind Medli cleared their throat. Taken by surprise, Medli inadvertently ended her tune with a sharp twang! She span quickly around and saw Komali standing there.
"Hi Medli," he said and walked up beside her. "Medli…there is this job going free…and…well I thought you might like it."
"Really?" said Medli, "what is it?" Komali raised his head and Medli saw that he was grinning.
"Lord Valoo's attendant." Medli gasped. She had wanted to be Valoo's attendant ever since her grandmother had had the job. Then she suddenly realised something.
"I cant."
"Why not?" said Komali, looking very disappointed.
"Because you got this job for me. I'm sure other people would want it. Besides I'm not sure I'm good enough to…" Medli said, but Komali cut across her.
"No one else wants the job. I checked. And Medli, you've wanted to do it for ages. Plus you're the only Rito who can speak Valoo's language."
"But…"
"No buts," Komali said in an official tone. "As your chief, I am ordering you to take this job." Medli grinned at him.
"Thanks Komali…"

Link landed his small sailboat next to Windfall's dock. He had just heard an interesting rumour not long ago and he had come here to see if it was true. He walked over to the arch.
"Hoy, Link!" came a voice. Link turned and saw the killer bees gang on the beach. He waved and carried on. He hadn't gotten far, when his Eskimo friend also saw him.
"Hello, Link" he said "Good to see you again."
"You too," Link said back "I'm sorry but I'm in a rush" The Eskimo nodded and walked on. Link made his way to the bar on windfall, meeting several other people on the way. He found it amusing that he knew pretty much the whole village.
When he finally made it to the bar, he saw that it was closed. Ignoring this, he opened the door and went up the steps. When he was on front of the bar, he saw that no one was around.
"Hello?" Link called. For a second, nothing happened. Then suddenly a man came through the door labelled 'private.' For a moment, Link didn't recognise him. Then he suddenly realised it was James, only he was no longer wearing his ninja outfit, but normal clothing.
"Hey Link," James said grinning. They hadn't seen reach other since the battle with Gannondorf. "What brings you out here?"
"Well Tetra told me you bought this place so I thought I'd stop by and see if it were true."
"You heard right," said James. "I've been the owner of this place for about a week now. Do you want a drink?"
"All right then," Link said. James poured Link and himself a drink.
"That'll be two rupees," James said. Link looked at him. "I gotta make a living somehow!" He said innocently. Link laughed and paid him two rupees. "I would have told you about this place myself, but you're a really hard guy to get a hold of."
"I suppose so," said Link taking a sip of his drink. "What I don't understand though, is how you got the money to afford this place." For some reason, James suddenly looked awkward.
"Well…I sold the Stinger." He said. But that didn't add up. The Stinger was a good boat but it wasn't particularly big or impressive.
"And that got you enough rupees?" he asked.
"Well…not really. The money I got from that was only half what I needed."
"Where did you get the rest?" Link asked, interested.
"From my…silent partner." James said. He looked quite uncomfortable for some reason.
"You have a silent partner?"
"Not so much a silent partner as a…partner" Link was about to ask James who would be running the bar with him, when the door opened and the person who came up the stairs rendered Link's question quite unnecessary. It was Aryll, and she was carrying two large suitcases.
"Oh," she said. "Hey big bro!" Link turned, scowling back to James who had his back to link and was whistling innocently.
"So Aryll's you're partner." Link said. James turned to face him and quietly mumbled,
"It was her idea." Link turned back to Aryll to find that she wasn't there.
"Aryll?" said Link. He turned and saw the private room door closing. "OI!" Link yelled. Aryll's voice came out through it.
"Sorry," She said, "Got to unpack! Talk to you later big bro." Link looked back at James who was placing Aryll's suitcases, which she had left behind (In spite of the fact that she had gone to unpack), against the wall.
"Kept in touch with her did you?" Link said putting on a stiff voice.
"Yeah, we've been going out for the last three months." James said back, and then in a slightly quieter voice said, "You don't mind do you?" Link dropped the false stiff attitude and grinned.
"Course not. Why would I?" he said, "I think it's great." James looked genuinely surprised. "Don't look so shocked, I did tell you I wasn't the over-protective brother type." James sighed a breath of relief.
"I know…but Aryll told me you'd freak."
"Normally I guess I probably would, but…well I think it's good that one of my best friends is gonna be with her." At that point, Aryll came back to the bar room.
"You two aren't arguing are you?" she asked
"Nope," Link said. Aryll smiled.
"Good because I need someone to take up my suitcases."
"I thought you were unpacking." Link said innocently. James laughed.
"I'll do it," he said and with that, James took the cases through the private door. Aryll turned to Link.
"Thanks for not getting angry." She said.
"Hey, what are big brothers for?"
"So, when are you planning on leaving?" Link finished his drink.
"I only really stopped to see if James really ran this place so I'm going anytime now."
"Oh," Aryll said sounding disappointed. "You know…you could always stay for a night." She looked at him hopefully. "I mean, there's only one bedroom but we have a sofa that folds into a bed." Link thought for a moment, then smiled at his sister.
"Ok," he said "Why not." Aryll grinned back.
"Great," she said, "I better go unpack for real now." She left the room. As the door closed, something suddenly occurred to Link
"Hang on," he called after her, "What do you mean, there's only one bedroom!"
****************************************
SSBM Master: Well, *sighs heavily* I guess I'm done. Thanks for all the great reviews. Please tell me what you think of the epilogue. I'm also planning on doing another Zelda story sometime. Maybe I'll do a sequel so James can be in it. Tell me what you think of this idea too.
Well, it all ends sometime. Thanks again for the reviews. But for now, this is your author and undefeated champion of Super Smash Bros Melee, Signing off!
