Chapter 5: An Alternate Hy Valley

I've kind of neglected this for a while. Oops.

Ech: I'd say "Oops"! What have you been doing, TTE?

You know, normal stuff, like... writing other fanfics. I really need to stop getting inspired like this.

Roo: Well, there's no harm in having a jillion fanfics.

Platypous: Or getting buried with a jillion dollars.

Wex: Or having a supposed 'jillion' different disclaimers saying that you don't own Zelda or BTTF.

Enough with the jillions already, guys! Let's get to the story!

Link woke up the next morning to the smell Rauru's nearly 30-year-old cooking and his own Burger King meal. "Link, you're awake!" the Light Sage yelled when he saw the hero stir. "I need to show you something!"

"Rauru, I already saw your time machine." Link complained. It had already been a pretty hectic month for him, and the worst part was that nobody even knew that it happened! He sat down at Rauru's rickety table and began to eat the strange food that Rauru had apparently made for him.

"No, it's not that. I found several things inside of it after I found Ganondorf running out from it."

"What are they?" Link asked as Rauru brought a bag from the machine. "These." He said as he brought the bag to Link for his examination. Link shuffled through various receipts and other scraps of paper for something that he was familiar with. He picked up one receipt. "Gray's Sports Almanac" was in the Item column, with the price coming in at a whopping 20,000 rupees. Another similar receipt showed that Ganondorf was using the OcaLorean for quite a while; it said "Hover Conversion–3,999,995 rupees!" The next receipt he saw, one with a paper construction instead of a strange blue plastic, said that Ganondorf had bought many things, among which were brand new shoes, 50,000 rupees worth of jewelry, and an entire hotel for himself. What Link found next shocked him to the bone: Ganondorf had bought the Ocarina of Time! Link shuffled through the bag some more to see if it was there, somehow forgotten by Ganondorf, but it was to no avail. He had the Ocarina. Link had failed his mission to Zelda.

"Hey now, don't look so down, Link." Rauru said comfortingly. "Since we have the OcaLorean, we can just go back in time to fix this."

"Rauru, he has the Ocarina!" Link yelled, "That's the only thing that could keep him from the Sacred Realm!"

"That's exactly why we're going to invade his little "Pleasure Paradise" and get it back, Link." Rauru looked at the hero with knowledgeable eyes. "Link, remember when you reached for your Master Sword?"

"Yeah, it wasn't– Hey, wait, you don't even know it exists!"

"But I do, Link." Rauru stated with sorrow in his eyes. "Somehow, we were transported to this world, and everyone in Hyrule's memories erased, except for yours and Ganondorf's, being replaced by memories of this world. See," Rauru pointed at the OcaLorean, "The Triforce is gone. Ganondorf must have scattered it across the ages when he tried to make a wish to destroy you on it."

"So let's get over there and find out when they are!"

Rauru flew the OcaLorean over the roof of Ganondorf's castle-like Pleasure Paradise and let Link out onto it. The plan was that Rauru would wait for Link to come back with the Ocarina, which apparently had some connection to the OcaLorean. "Now, Link, you do know how to play that Ocarina, don't you?"

"I learned in Hyrule. There's no way I could've forgotten how to play over two days." Link took the makeshift sword that Rauru had constructed before they left and strapped it to his back behind the shield that he was given as well. "I'll play the Song of Time when I need you."

"Good luck, Link. For both of our futures." Link walked away from Rauru's OcaLorean and opened the door to the roof. He watched the door slam shut after him. Now there was no turning back.

Link opened the door to the floor closest to him. "27th Floor" it read. He walked out into the hallway and over to the first open room he could find. Inside of it, two Gerudos were sitting in a hot tub with Ganondorf himself in the middle. Ganondorf looked different from when Link saw him in Hyrule and even at the Twinrova Pines Mall. His orange hair was longer than before, and he seemed to be adjusting nicely to his wealth.

"This is my favorite part!" he yelled to the two Gerudos. On a small box across from him, he appeared in some sort of speech. "I just wanna say one thing:" the Ganondorf in the box said, "Din bless Hy Valley."

"Ha ha ha!" Ganondorf laughed, "Look at that crowd! They actually believed me!"

"Party's over, Ganon." Link said smoothly as he smashed the TV with his sword.

"So, the Hero of Time wants to have a swordfight with me?" Ganondorf laughed again. "Well then, I'll just get ready."

"No, Ganon, not a swordfight. The Ocarina of Time."

"Ocarina of Time?" the Gerudos murmured. "The young girl Zelda's prized possession?"

"Well, you heard him, girls," Ganondorf said while shooting a death glare at Link. "The party's over."

"Well, Hero, I see you've delved deep into my history since I came back." Ganondorf smirked at Link. "I'd have to say that that's an illegal invasion of privacy you've done there."

"And what about stealing Rauru's time machine, Ganondorf?" Link replied, his eyes unmoving from Ganondorf's right hand. "You stole that without a thought about breaking a law."

"Only a minor thing I've done, Link." Ganondorf opened a safe behind him. "Now, you want the Ocarina, hmm?

Ganondorf brought out the small blue instrument that Link had carried throughout Hyrule from the safe. He held it in his hands for a while, chanting something in Hylian, before showing it to Link. Link grabbed for it, but before he could touch its porcelain surface, Ganondorf returned it to his own hands. "I suppose you're wondering where the Triforce went, aren't you?" Link nodded. "Well, you'll have to find it, as well as your beloved Master Sword."

"Well, Ganondorf, you've forgotten one thing: What the hell is that?"

Ganondorf looked behind him towards the wall, and when he turned around, he was so caught by the surprise of Link swinging his sword that the Ocarina flew out of his hands and into Link's. Link ran out of the room as fast as his legs could carry him, but Ganondorf was close behind, pulling out his own sword to get the Ocarina back. Link ran back the way he came and back to the roof, closing the door behind him as quietly as possible.

Ganondorf rushed into the stairwell, closing on Link. He looked around to see if he had gone to the first floor in an escape attempt, and he heard the door above him. With a malicious smile, Ganondorf walked up the stairs to the roof to join Link and to get rid of that pest once and for all.

"Come on, Rauru, where are you?" Link yelled to the sky. Behind him, footsteps approached, and his sword was drawn from its sheath before the intruder took even a second step.

"I asked you for a swordfight, hero." Ganondorf said. "Accept your destiny."

"And what if I don't, Ganondorf?"

"My magic gets a new target."

"What about the Sages, Ganondorf? They could find out who killed me with their own magic."

"I've taken care of them already. Besides, they never figured out what killed the Deku Tree."

"You..." Link was overwhelmed by his anger, swinging his sword at Ganondorf before thinking.

"Wrong answer, boy." Ganondorf sent Link flying back towards the edge of the roof. "Don't think that my magic isn't limitless. I have all the power I need!"

"You don't have one power, Ganondorf." Link said while he tried to free himself from the grasp of Ganondorf's dark magic. "The power of Time!" Link jumped off the building and fell down below Ganondorf's eyes. Ganondorf chuckled at the Hero of Time's stupidity, silently saying "Idiot." He put his sword back into its sheath, preparing for a slew of lies he'd fire at the media, when suddenly, out of nowhere, Link was standing in midair, playing the Ocarina, floating higher and higher until the OcaLorean came into view. Ganondorf yelled as the door opened up and slammed him right in the face, knocking him out as Link got into the passenger side door. "You'll never believe this, Rauru!" he yelled. "We have to go to the future!"

As the OcaLorean flew away from Ganondorf's hotel, the evil Gerudo man stirred again, pulling a small book from his robes. Chanting again in Hylian, Ganondorf and the book soon disappeared from sight in Hy Valley, bound for an unknown place.

Roo: Ooh! Cliffhangery! I just love my word!

Antiech: Good, then keep it to yourself. Love it somewhere else.

Antiroo: !yregnahffilC !hoO I love speaking backwards!

Princess Aquaech: Well, review and TTE will do more of both the Legend of the Future and Back to the Zelda. More reviews make TTE write fast. The faster he writes, the faster you get two stories to read!
