Yeah, I know, cliffhangers are evil, but I ended up posting that so much later than I wanted to that most people reading this will have just barely read that, so it doesn't really matter, now does it?

Chapter 27
Day Ten: Afternoon
Lon Lon Ranch
"Tael! No!!!" Link shouted in agony. "This is all my fault. I should have known that Dark Link would do something like this!"
"Link! Relax. Remember, I have some of Zelda's powers. I can heal flesh wounds, even fatal ones." A soft glow came from Malon's hands, and Tael's chest repaired itself. He got up, his breathing no longer ragged, but nice and calm, now.
"I thought I was a goner!"
"You were already gone. Malon brought you back. Come on, we have to save Zelda!"
"I'm coming with you." Malon shocked them both. "I want to help save Zelda, and I can help fight just as much as either of you. Let's go." Malon was firm with her decision. The twins protested, but Malon finally got her way. After creating a sword and shield for herself, Malon joined the two at the gate to the ranch. "Let's get out of here and save Zelda."
Ganon's Castle
Ganon's Castle was surrounded by lava. Link's sage medallions began to glow, and a rainbow bridge was created, spanning the gap. Inside, the three broke the six barriers surrounding the tower and climbed to the top. Ganondorf was rather pleased with himself. "Well, it looks like I have a challenge ahead of me. Prepare to meet your doom. All three of you." The fight was on.
Ganondorf wasted no time in getting to his strongest attack. He created a big, black ball of lightning, and sent three big blasts of energy out. Link used a spin attack to send back his batch, while Tael absorbed them with his shield and fired them back in a large beam, and Malon used a spell similar to Nayru's Love. The Master, Mirror, and Rancher Swords struck Ganondorf countless times until the King of Evil was defeated. "I'll take those." Ganondorf's cape was burning, and he was starting to emanate ash in general. Mixing about half the powder with the ashes, Link threw the dust into the air. He and Tael instantly started clawing at their faces. The masks came free, but all was not finished. The twins' equipment switched back, and the three of them, along with the newly rescued Zelda, bolted for the stairs leading down the collapsing tower.
"Link, the masks didn't fuse! This isn't over yet!" Tael was quick to point out the forgotten obvious.
"That's why I saved some of the powder. Now, come on! Just after they reached the ground, the tower collapsed. All of the sudden, they heard a noise coming from a pile of rubble. Link and Tael approached the pile, when Ganondorf burst out. A boulder from the rubble hit the ground, blocking off the only exit from the area. Zelda and Malon were surrounded by fire, and the Master Sword was knocked out of Link's hand and joined them. Ganondorf became the pig, Ganon, and Link and Tael fought him with all of their might. Link was able to retrieve the sword, and together, the two brought an end to the king's reign of terror.
Link sprinkled the ashes and the other half of the powder on the Brother's Mask and the Hero's Mask, and they became the Mask of Link. Suddenly, Link felt new memories establish themselves in his head, and he knew what the Happy Mask Man's surprise was, but he was distracted at the moment. At the point where Ganondorf entered the Sacred Realm, one golden sacred triangle remained. The Triforce of Power floated down and entered Malon's left hand. "It's over. You did it. Wow. Together, we hold the whole Triforce. It's best that we keep our separate parts, though, isn't it?"
"Yeah, you're right, Malon. Let's go home." Link was beat.
Night
Kokiri Forest
A young boy who looked exactly as Link did seven years ago emerged from the Great Deku Tree's remains for the first time since his birth, around 17 or 18 years ago. He snuck around the sleeping Deku Sprout and went to Link's treehouse, climbing into Link's bed.
Well, who could this mystery boy be? Actually, this might tie in with the Wind Waker, just by accident! Really, though, although the name will imply a connection, there is none. At all. Well, that's it for this chapter. Don't forget to send in better names for Tael to win a cameo! See you later, same switched time, same switched place!
