Now that Link has the gauntlet, I think the girls will be switched back soon. But, what will happen when Link finds out what else the gauntlet does? I think I'll send Link through the Shadow Temple before the switch is reversed for good. Like I said before, the whole thing in Termina will have to happen before the Spirit Temple, and just after the switch is undone. And it will be the full Bomber's Notebook & Fierce Deity Mask quest, not the wimpy get through in five three day cycles. Although that would be a challenge... Back to the story, the Fierce Deity Mask brings up some interesting ideas for the gauntlet. I think I feel a spin-off coming on!
The Switch
Chapter 19
Day Six: Afternoon
The Forest Clearing
Link had made his way through the Shadow Temple as fast as he could. He was anxious to get Malon and Zelda back to normal, although he really didn't need any extra incentive to get out of that dark hole. He wasn't as anxious about the actual switch, but about the question he wanted to ask Malon once it was over.
Link and Malon had gone to the ranch and picked up Zelda, and on the way to the clearing, they told her about the gauntlet. Zelda was absolutely ecstatic. "Thank Nayru! I almost had given up on ever getting home!"
Link was to be the one to use the gauntlet. As he moved it towards his wrist, an ominous feeling came over him. He strapped it on and, without even having a chance to think for a few seconds, he used its power for the first time. Someone along the line had been granted more knowledge by the goddesses, and Link acquired the knowledge of every wish that had ever been granted by the three omnipotent beings. He might have taken the gauntlet off in fear, but his piece of the Triforce kept it on his hand.
This seemed to take a few minutes, when, in reality, it was only a few seconds. Link snapped out of his dazed state. "Are you two ready?" Both girls just gave him a stare as if to say that his Kokiri Boots were smarter than him at the moment. "Right." Link focused his mind on the most recent wish the goddesses had granted: the wish to switch the lives of the farm girl and the princess. Link commanded the gauntlet to reverse the wish, and it was done. Malon was in her farm clothes again, Zelda in her royal gown. The girls' necklaces and Link's gold earring faded away into nothing, as if the whole week had never happened.
The girls couldn't have been happier to be back to normal. Zelda hurried back to the castle. She was extremely anxious to see her father. Malon moved to go back to the ranch, but Link held her back for a moment. "What is it Link?" Malon asked, the slightest trace of impatientness in her voice.
"Malon, I've been thinking about this for a long time. Even that day, seven years ago in the market, it crossed my mind as a childish thought." Malon knew where this was going, and she barely dared to breathe. Link got down on one knee in front of her. He produced a small box from his pocket. "Malon, will you marry me?"
Malon's smile could not have been any wider if someone told her that... there wasn't even anything else to compare this to. "Of course, Link!" Link didn't even have the chance to blink before she dived on him and gave him the hug to end all hugs, not to mention all breathing.
"Jeez, I didn't even get the chance to give you the ring!" Link opened the box. Inside was one of the most beautiful engagement rings Malon could ever imagine.
"How did you get this?! This must have cost a fortune! I can't accept this..."
"Don't worry about it, Malon. You'd be surprised at the amount of money dispatched ReDeads, Stalfos, and Keese drop! Or, I just was lucky enough to find at least one treasure chest filled to the brim with rupees in each temple I've been to since I woke up."
"Good. You had me worried there for a minute. Well, I guess I'll just have to keep it, then! Let's go back to the ranch and tell my dad the good news!" With that, the two of them ran back to the ranch, the warp and the clearing disappearing behind them.
Yeah, I know. It's only been one week and they're tying the knot. But, as far as this story goes, their relationship has developed enough for this. And, although the switch will only have been reversed and the couple engaged for one day, tomorrow, Link gets sent to Termina. This is kind of important, for the transformation masks, as well as for the return visit.
Lastly, I kind of know what I want to do here, but I'm not completely sure how to get it in. Go to zeldauniverse.net and look for the only picture of Dark Link that is on the top of the artist's list. It's a good visual aid for my upcoming oc. Not quite exactly as I'm going to write him in, but close enough. If you don't have high speed internet, run Internet Explorer while your normal internet program is connected. It works a little better. Enough semi-spoilers and web advice. END
