Back to the Zelda: DeLocarina of Time: Chapter 3: The Creepy Tall Guy's Hookshot

You all know him, the creepy tall guy? You know, he's the "might as well be prepared" guy from BTTF 3. Yeah, that's him. Well, anyway, let's go through the thing I have to go through every chapter: I DON'T OWN ZELDA OR BTTF! It's that simple! And yet, so fun...

Marty walked outside the building that he found himself in when he woke up, only to find the land dark and polluted. He looked around for a bearing on his location, and when he looked up, he saw it. The Temple of Time was the clock tower! Its hands were frozen at 10:04, just like in Hill Valley, and Marty marveled in its wonder until his attention was diverted by yells from the place where Hyrule Castle would be... if he wasn't in the game and Tannendorf didn't rule. What Hyrule, or should I say Hillrule, Castle had become was terrible! Marty looked at its neon red glow in horror, remembering how 1985-A was. Marty stared at it for a while, when suddenly, Doc spoke out of his vest. Marty searched his lucky vest that had gotten him away from the Libyans and back to the future before, finding at last the walkie-talkie. "Yo, Doc, what's up?" he said to the walkie-talkie.

"Marty, if my calculations of this game are correct, the Forest Temple is to the northwest, where you will find the second sage and awaken her to her power."

"10-4, Doc, I'll go there now, just as soon as I get out of this place."

Marty put away his walkie-talkie and started to head towards the Forest Temple, but Clara interrupted him by flying in front of his face.

"Marty, remember when we learned Babs's Song?"

"Um... Yes?" Marty fibbed.

"That was in the Sacred Forest Meadow. If I remember right, the entrance to the forest temple right above it requires an item that the gravekeeper in Kakariko Village had. Maybe if we asked him, he'd give it to us to borrow."

"Well, Doc said to go straight there."

"Marty, listen, I'm a fairy, I know these things." Clara stated as-a-matter- of-factly. "Besides, haven't you always wondered what's in that graveyard?"

"Well, no..."

"Great! Let's go!"

Marty reluctantly followed his friend from 1885, who was now his fairy, down the steps in front of the clock tower and into the town square. What Marty saw there was horrifying: There were weird humanlike creatures riding around on motorcycles, blocking Marty's way out. Marty put his hand over his left shoulder to try to find his weapon, which he hoped was here in this combined universe. He felt his back for it, and there it was: The Master Sword! Marty grabbed it and his Hillian shield with a picture of the Triflux on it, and began to fight the ReBikers. He destroyed each of them without a problem, and then made his way out of the town square and into Hillrule Field.

"Marty! Marty! Shouldn't we get going to Kakariko Village like I said?" Clara came out at Marty and yelled.

"Clara, quit doing that, it's getting annoying." Marty said, "You saw how I had to battle those bikers. They were blocking our way!"

"I'm sorry, Marty, it's just that since Emmett's not here, I have nobody else to talk to."

"Listen, Clara, it's all right, I'm sorry. Well, let's go to Kakariko Village, it's just over there." Marty said pointing in the direction they'd go.

Marty ran and Clara flew over Hillrule Field to get to Kakariko Village before the sun went down. Luckily, they were able to make it before it was too much past three. Marty ran through the small town that was founded by the Sheikah, going straight for the graveyard. He got there quickly and ran into it to find its gravekeeper. He looked around for a while, but didn't see anyone there. He wondered where Dampé, or whoever was his counterpart in this combined dimension was, was at. Marty saw his hut, though, and walked up to it. He opened the door slowly, hoping that there weren't any bodies inside, waiting for the gravekeeper to bury them. Luckily for him, there weren't, and Marty walked into the hut. He didn't see anyone, but he did see a small book on the table. He read it, seeing that it was from the gravekeeper himself. Marty read: "To whoever finds this journal, come down to my grave and race me, then I'll give you a special extending prize."

Marty closed the book and ran back outside, ready to move all of the headstones that he had to to find where Dampé was. Interestingly, the name of the guy who said that he was going to lose to Buford back in 1885 was named Dampé too. There couldn't be any connection, could there? Marty pulled away a tombstone and saw that there was nothing below it; thankfully he didn't have to go see any ghosts... yet. Marty walked behind another tombstone, the only one with flowers by it behind the fence, and pulled it back. This time there was a hole below it, and off in the distance, Marty heard a bell tolling. "I hope it's not trying to tell me that I shouldn't do this," he said. "Maybe I can get up that cliff on my own."

"Marty, you have to get the Hookshot!" Clara yelled, flying out of Marty's vest pocket. She was apparently very worried about the future of Hillrule. Marty decided that he'd be stuck either way, so he just jumped down the hole.

Inside, Marty didn't find repair instructions that Doc could use on the Ocarina, but he did find a doorway. He went through the door, and on the other side he saw...

"Holy shit, a ghost!"

"I actually prefer to be called a formerly living spirit, young man."

"So you're Dampé?"

"Yes, sir. And may I say that you're wearing some very strange clothes. Hope you don't get caught on them when you race me!"

"You're on, Dampé!

"Well, you know that the odds are 2 to 1 against you, I would wait if you want to get prepared..."

"He's already ready, Dampé!"

"Clara!" Marty yelled in surprise, "I'm not ready to race a ghost!"

"GO!" Dampé shouted over their argument, stopping the two time travelers from yelling at each other and getting their focus back to getting the Hookshot.

"Hey, you stupid ghost, that's cheating!"

Dampé didn't hear Marty, though, and just floated away, throwing his flames everywhere. Marty ran after him, catching up before too long, but not passing him up. Marty ran with Dampé for a while, when he saw a bottomless pit ahead, which Dampé just floated over to the last door. Marty almost fell in, and the door was closing fast, but he didn't give up. He ran around the edge of the room, and finally reached the door just before it closed on him. Dampé spoke again, just as Marty was catching his breath from the long run.

"Well, it looks like I can't deny you of this prize." Dampé said, handing over the Hookshot. "But remember, when you battle against Tannendorf, you're probably going to lose."

"Yeah, whatever. As long as you won't ask me about–"

"Hey, wait, do you wanna buy a suit?"

"AAAAAAH!" Marty yelled as he ran out of the underground maze and back to the windmill. Hopefully now he'd be able to get to Babs, his mom's old friend, and get the Forest Medallion.
