A/N. Okay, guys, this is the big armos fight. Hope you like it. BTW to the
dude who tried to convince me that Gannon wasn't in the game. You're an
idiot. You fight Agahnim twice and then you find out that he was the puppet
of Gannon the whole time. Then you fly over to the big temple and fight
Gannon in all his blueness. Okay, well thank you all for reading.
Link walked into a large stone room. It hadn't been very difficult to find the key that opened the box, but in doing so he had gotten a nasty sting from an anti-fairy, or a negatively charged beast that fed off magic. Inside the chest he had uncovered a bow, and arrows. Now he was at the end of the palace. The emblem of courage had to be somewhere around him.
The door slammed shut behind him and a shredding fear carved into his body. What was up with this room? There weren't any enemies around and no buttons were out in the open. Link walked around examining everything. He had learned from the experience of going through the palace that nothing was, as it seemed. Towering from the floor stood large statues, six of them in all, each of them wearing stone helmets and holding giant stone swords. On the Knights breastplate a picture of the Triforce was molded. The statues stood at about eleven feet tall and all looked down on him menacingly.
Link massaged the place in his shoulder where the energy ghost had hit him. Well he was glad he had faced them. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get the bow and that had proven very useful. Link took one more look around and headed for the door. The room was probably just a shrine to the Hylian Knights. Strange as it seemed it would make sense, as this at one time had been a training ground for the Knights.
He took another step to the door and suddenly heard that all familiar grating sound as the steel door slammed from the ceiling locking him into the room. Link cursed and turned around just in time to see the first of the Knight's burst from its stone encasing.
The huge rock sword crashed down into the ground where Link had so recently stood. The giant blade hit the tiles of the floor and grounded them into nothing more than fine powder. He dodged to the left as another attacked him from behind. Link dodged the oncoming attacks from the stone swords and fell to the floor knocking an arrow onto his bow. The stone demons, known as the Armos knights just followed him. All six of them lined up looking down on Link. Link couldn't help but laugh. He would be killed by statues of his ancestors. Killed by the past. He let the arrow. The wooden shaft smashed directly into the center of the Triforce design on one of the armored monster's chest, and immediately the stone began to crumble. Link got up and ran across the room, knocking another arrow while doing so. The stone warriors followed him. He let the arrow fly again aiming for the center of the Triforce design on their chests. Another fell and joined the dust on the floor. Only four more.
He ran to a corner getting another arrow ready. The shaft flew, followed by another, and another. The warriors hit the floor, their giant weapons out of commission and themselves dead. There was only one more left. He reached back to grab an arrow from his quiver and came up empty. "Oh no!" Link cried as the blade of the sword slashed horizontally sending Link flying painfully into a wall. His body crumpled to the floor with the pain of the blow. The stone giant made his way slowly over to Link's broken body. He ran at the knight, pulling from his scabbard his gleaming blade. The knights rock blade swung at him again, but this time Link jumped and landed on the moving mass of stone. He jumped again and swung his blade at the Knights helmet. The sword knocked the helmet off of the stone warrior's head and Link looked at the face astonished. It was his uncle!
The blade of the stone sword caught him again in a slash and Link slid across the floor crashing through the rubble of the already fallen knights. He stood to his feet just to get knocked down again by the blade. He couldn't kill his uncle. He couldn't do it; there wasn't any way. He pushed himself up on one bloody arm and felt the heavy weapon collide into his back. Again he was pushed into the dirt. Link watched as blood dripped from his bleeding lip to the floor. How would he find the strength to defeat his uncle? Where would it come from? The only one in the world who he loved more than his uncle was-Zelda!
The stone blade came down again, but this time he rolled from under it. Again it swung, and again he ducked. Without another thought Link charged his uncle's statue and slammed the blade of his sword into the middle of the Triforce symbol. The statue trembled and then it fell to the ground. Link pulled his blade from the wreckage and slid it into his scabbard. Lying in the rubble of his broken ancestor was a green stone held firmly by a leather thong. Link grabbed the amulet and made his way out of the palace.

Zelda, Princess of Hyrule, struggled to carry the heavy pail of water up the hill. She hadn't done this much labor in her life, and although it was hard, she enjoyed the times she was spending with her nurse. No, she was no longer a nurse, her friend. The brown and green peasant's dress that Impa had provided for her was beautiful in a humble sort of way, and it also provided cover from the soldiers that constantly patrolled Kakariko.
She reached the top of the hill and continued on her way. It had been four days, since Link had left. In her heart she hoped that he was all right. The last rays of the sun tainted the sky with red, gold, and pink. Another day was ending.
A grisly voice said from behind her, "Miss, can you help me out here?"
Zelda turned and gasped. It was a platoon of soldiers and the Duke Elborn. She cursed.
"How unlady like," the Duke said removing a sword from the scabbard at his waist. "I was looking for you Princess. Get her!"
The guards ran at her. The struggle was brief and in a few minutes, the princess was bound and gagged. Elborn tossed her into the back of the wagon that had brought the brigade to the town and they left.

Link's tunic was ripped in many places, and blood had mixed with stone dust creating sticky splotches over his skin. In one hand he carried the medallion of courage, and in the other hand he carried his sword. He hadn't been able to put it down for fear of another attack. He made it out of the palace about an hour after he had started. The cool night met him as he stepped out of the darkness.
It took all of his energy to bring him back to Sashralla's house, and once he was there he collapsed into the spare bed the old sage had prepared. Everything was rushed together, in his head. The fights, the keys, the knights. It wasn't long before he drifted into unconsciousness.
