In response to a review from "Nobody", I am not forgetting the Goron race. Rather, it is you who is forgetting that Link and Darunia are 'Sworn Brothers'. And if anybody brings in the Sheikah, it's more of an indirect connection to Link, but it's still through the Royal Family. That's all.
Note: I found a plot problem in chapter 22 of the Deity's Escape. If Malon's mom died giving birth, how did she teach Malon Epona's Song? To correct this, I've taken that part out.

"Kimiko? Kimiko! Kimi-AAAHHH!" I had been calling my daughter when a wall of fire erupted in front of me.
"Boo!" Blu hadn't changed much in the past five years. She was just a teeny bit more mature, but not much. Her powers, on the other hand, had changed drastically. A couple of times, I had seen her sneak out of the house with Tobu-Ken and fly around on him. The other thing was fox fire, which she liked to use to scare me.
"Blu, Kimiko," I knew my daughter was there too, since they never separated, "I have something I want to teach you."
"What is it, Mom?" Kimiko was a little more 'in control' than Blu. They were a perfect balance for each other.
"Well, it's a song. Your father and I each have a song we think you should learn. Your grandmother made this one up."
"What happened to Grandma and Grandpa?"
"Your grandma got sick when I was five. There was no cure. Your grandpa got killed by a shadow demon about a year before you were born."
"Well, what's the song?" I taught her Epona's Song.
"It calms horses, makes cows give you milk, and if you're ever in Hyrule Field and need Epona, it calls her."
"I thought I wasn't allowed out there on my own."
"Well, what if we were together and got separated? Besides, you can go out there alone after you turn sixteen. Come on, let's go see your father." We walked out of the house, to the center of the corral, where Link was brushing Epona. "Hi there, Link."
"Well, hello. What's up?"
"Not much. I thought you might like to teach the girls the Song of Time."
"All right. Well, do you remember when I told you I opened the Door of Time 17 years ago? Well, I had to collect three Spiritual Stones and play this song with the Ocarina of Time. It turns out that there's one more ocarina that could have opened it, made by the Kokiri, but it's lost and that's beside the point. This song also saved us all in Termina by letting us travel back in time three days. Did you know that you'd gone back in time seven times before?"
"Cool! So are you gonna teach us this thing or what?" Link realized he'd been rattling on and pulled out the Ocarina of Time. Hearing the Song of Time, I almost expected to end up back in that white void, returning to the clock tower. But, it had been almost eleven years since then, though you'd never know it by looking at me, Link, or any of the others.
Blu snapped us all out of it by shooting past on Tobu-Ken. "Blu! You're supposed to keep Tobu-Ken locked up for another six years!" Link wasn't happy, but he stopped when he heard another voice.
"You can't lock me up! Freedom!" yelled Tobu-Ken. That's right. The sword spoke. This was getting out of hand! I extended my left hand and called upon the Triforce of Power. I was vaguely aware that my eyes were glowing as I pulled Tobu-Ken back. Blu jumped off, just before I sealed Tobu-Ken in a block of stone with a clock on the outside.
"The clock will hit zero on your sixteenth birthday, and the block will crumble." I moved the block next to a pile of crates, where I put a crate around it. "Don't worry, Blu. I put the spirit inside to sleep. He'll be fine when you're ready for him."
"'kay. He was starting to annoy me anyway. See you in six years, Tobu-Ken!" Blu ran inside for her fifth bowl of ramen today. We'd gone through more beef ramen in the past five years than most people eat in a lifetime. Blu certainly was a handful, but she was Kimiko's best friend, and we love her like a daughter.
Aww... Wasn't that sweet? Well, from this point on, time will pass differently. I can't say how, but it will. Oh, if anyone's wondering, instant ramen DOES exist in Hyrule, but it's not really instant, since you have to wait for the water to boil... Hey, at least it's not packaged in plastic! Oh, I'm already done writing chapters 17 and 18, but I haven't gotten a chance to type in days. I actually wrote this on Monday or Tuesday, but I just barely got to type! I still have some homework, so I can't promise I'll get to type the next two chapters tonight, but it'll be soon, so don't worry!
