Yeah, this is where things get strange. Do not read the note at the end if you do not want a small spoiler! Without further ado, I present to you, Chapter 14.
Note: Although Navi has not yet been mentioned in this fic, she still has been with Link, just as in the game. She's just not annoying anymore, and she actually gets along with Link.

"Link, what's wrong?" asked Navi. She always had a way of knowing what was going through Link's head.
"It almost feels like a dream, the past three days. I mean, you and I are the only ones who know what happened. And all trace of it has been wiped out. I don't know what to do."
"Well, you should start by getting down to Kakariko. The sooner you get whatever's in the bottom of that well, the sooner you can get back to the future and fix this mess. The longer you take, the worse it will be for Malon and Zelda when you finally get back. Umm, you might want to see if that owl is up at the top of the trail, it's blocked down below."
Link climbed to the top of the trail. He was in luck. He really didn't want to have to warp all the way back to the forest or the lake. Even the Temple of Time was a little further than he'd like. "Hey, Kaepora. Can I hitch a ride to the village?"
"Why certainly, young hero. Grab hold of my talons." Kaepora Gaebora took off, and they were in the village in a matter of seconds. "Young master, I know what is troubling you. Do not worry, Malon and Zelda are fine."
"That's good. Do you know when they're going to switch back?"
"Therein lies the problem. For, although the goddesses switched the girls' lives, they will be very reluctant to undo the wish. There is only one way to fix the girls' lives. You see, there is an artifact, a gauntlet, similar to the Triforce in that it holds some of the goddesses' power. The difference is that this gauntlet allows the wearer to modify or undo wishes granted by the goddesses. Also, it holds the power of any wish it changes. The problem is that it will be destroyed in four years."
"Where is the gauntlet? I have to find it! I know that the girls will want to switch back!"
"Listen. I know you are not quite big enough to use the Longshot, but you will have to use it just the same. Get on the purple roof, then latch on to a wooden post in a hole just below the blades of the windmill. Inside is a tunnel. When you come out, jump and grab one of the blades, Ride it to the top. You will have to climb down a ladder until you are under the windmill. The gauntlet is inside, but you will need the item from under the well to get it. Good luck." With that, the owl flew off.
Yeah, I think this will go somewhere interesting. By now, you can already guess the fate of the wish, or can you? Go back up and read Kaepora's description of the gauntlet, which has no name, by the way. "...it holds the power of any wish it changes." So, I leave it to you to infer who will get switched IF the gauntlet gets into the wrong hands...
