Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda.

I got a certain review asking to make the chapters longer. Yeah, I'll make them longer from now on.

In the Castle-

Caidro walked up the steps whistling as he did so, with his arms behind his back. He came upon a giant door, and showed no way of opening.

"Hmm...I know just the thing!"

Caidro lifted his arms up...A nice green colored dome was around him. It grew bigger...As sparkle starting igniting in front of him. Bigger...bigger...until finally: BOOOOOOOMMM!!!!! The door exploded. Caidro, acting as though nothing had happened, continued to walk down the hall, just a corridor away from where Ganondorf resided, sitting on his thrown, wondering whom the intruder was.

Link had walked out of the Marketplace, and saw the same old disgusting looking land that Ganondorf dominated. The Lon Lon Ranch as now a dome where Ganondorf went to look at battles for his amusement. Malon was a slave girl, and a Stalfos murdered Talon since he could do little work. Ingo was a Janitor, cleaning up blood and such. Death Mountain was blocked off; nobody knows what is going on there. Link could warp there, if only he hadn't sold his Ocarina. How were the Sages? Surely they had some sort of power still...Link had told everyone he knew that he had defeated Ganondorf, and everybody laughed at him. Some people called him crazy, and had a policy not to serve the loonies. When Ganondorf broke free, everyone was certain Link had lied. The only way he might have broken free is if something happened to the Sages. He would never find out. Lake Hylia was a dump, a place that garbage was stored. The Fishing place was out of business, and Kakariko Village was a town for Outcasts. Link looked to the sky, to see an owl flutter down to him. It was Kaepora Gaebora, the Owl that helped Link. He could have sworn that he was dead by now, of old age. Obviously not. The owl landed upon a rotted log, acting like it didn't see Link for a while, but then looked at Link and spoke in his hooty voice:

"Hoo...hoo...hoot. Hello Link! You seem to be looking for something, what is it?"

"Hello, Gaebora. I do not know what it is I am looking for, yet it is important. A friend of mine, Cardaras-"

"Hooo-o-o-o-t. Cardaras you say? I knew him. Great man, he was."

Link's hard skipped a beat.

"Tell me, care to listen to a story?"

"I am a little hungry, Link. Yet I shall listen."

Link told Gaebora all about his adventure so far. The owl was a very good listener, never interrupting, only nodding his head every so often, and seldom hooting.

"But also, Gaebora, you said you 'knew' him. What happened to him?"

"Link, you do not live life very well. Perhaps some disease has gotten on to you? For you see, the only reason I do not know Cardaras any longer now is because he has been dead for 3 years!"

Link's stomach did a front flip. He couldn't speak. He couldn't think. Was the Cardaras he had met, could it be, could Cardaras have been a ghost!?

"How...how did it happen?" Croaked Link.

"Unknown reasons." Said the owl mournfully.

"Where did he reside?"

"Grab onto my talons if you want to know."

"My friend, we both know that you can no longer hold me."

"I suppose you speak truthfully. If you head down to what was Lake Hylia, just past of what was Lon Lon Ranch, you should see a small forest; if you go to the deepest part, you will see a single gravestone. That is his."

"Thank you, Gaebora! I shall not forget this. I must go to that forest." He declared.

"Well, I must be off, I am very hungry now. Farewell, Link."

"Farewell."

Link headed south, to the gravestone.

- Ganondorf's Castle

Caidro walked to the room, just outside Ganondorf's thrown room. He stopped, and started thinking:

'If I am trying to get out of here, should I be going down?" He looked out the window and saw they were in the air. He had to go up more. He opened up the door, and saw a dozen warriors in line, and in the center of them at the back, was a man on a throne. Caidro got out his sword, and in what seemed like slow motion, he destroyed each monster with stabs, slices, flips, spins, and jabs. When he was halfway done, he pulled out a small dagger and threw it at Ganondorf. It hit him right in the chest. Caidro had destroyed all the monsters, and slowly walked up to Ganondorf.

"Who are you?"

"You...threw a dagger at me." Ganondorf said as he pulled it out with ease.

"Yes, and it looks like it hit you. I was really trying to hit your head to tell the truth, but it is sort of hard to aim when I take on a couple of those whatchacallits at once. Who are you?"

"You do not know who I am? I am Ganondorf, King of Hyrule, and King of Evil! Owner of the Triforce of wisdom, courage, and power. Who are you? Answer or die. My guards will get you."

"It is just you and I."

Ganondorf smirked, and snapped his fingers. Two statues came out of their trance, the iron knuckles got their battle-axes ready to slice. Caidro dodged them by go up and over the axes, pulled out two more daggers out of his cloak, and jabbed them into the back of their necks. They exploded, and Caidro turned back around, whipping out his sword.

"I am Caidro, and I am going to chop off your head and add it to my gallery if you don't mind."

Ganondorf, startled that his wave of fighters failed, yelled:

"WAVE TWO AND THREE, ATTACK!!!" Ganondorf vanished in a flash of purple light. Monsters and such filled in the room, hardly leaving room to move. Caidro jumped up, avoiding all the swords and axes, as arrows, some with fire on them and some not, flew at him. It was like running into a solid wall. Still going up, Caidro pulled out two more daggers and sliced through the ones that were dangerously close to him. He started to charge his attack. He landed on a chandelier, easily out of arrows reach. A dome of green light started surrounding him...bigger...bigger...it exploded, destroying most of the creatures in the room. All the archers were alive, but only them. Caidro jumped down, again using his daggers to destroy the ones that were to close, and started dodging like mad when he hit the ground. If they run out of arrows, they'll be useless. Soon, Caidro started to get in front of the archers here and there, so that they would hit themselves. When only two remained, Caidro positioned himself between them. He jumped up as the arrows passed, killing each other. Caidro landed, fixing the band that kept his hair up, and walked back down stairs.

"What a waste of time that was; all it did was give me a little fight.

- Link's area...

Link had just made it past the Battle Arena, what was Lon Lon Ranch; he could hear the crowd war. He could see a forest ahead, where he looked for the grave of Cardaras who had died three years ago, yet he only just saw him a while ago. Link was getting closer; he broke into a run. Within twenty minutes, he was in the outskirts of the forest. He could see a trail, and he followed it. Five minutes of him into the woods, it started getting thicker, sunlight would not touch the ground. He could see some sort of light up ahead. He ran to it. There, in the center of a circle of trees, was a gravestone. Link approached. You could see where the body was buried; there was not grass there. Link, making sure not to step on it out of respect, read the inscription.

""Here, in the Woods of Hyrule, lies Cardaras. Last name unknown. Died in year 234, after the Creation of Hyrule. Though his body is lost, his friends will never forget him."

Link read over it several times, making sure he was actually reading what he thought. How could this happen?

"So, are you having a good time looking at MY gravestone, Link?"

Link slowly turned around...

A/n: There you go, longer chapter :) Where is Ganondorf, and what will Caidro do with him? How strong IS Caidro? Are Cardaras and Link a match for him? Is that really Cardaras' gravestone? Find out next chapter! Make sure to review! I'll look at all suggestions.

Next: Chapter Five. Preview:

Hahaha only kidding. ;) I won't start putting previews in until next chapter. Make sure to review!
