"Naviiiii!" Link whined as he jogged through Hyrule Field towards Lake
Hylia. "I'm tired of running. Can't we slow down?" He readjusted his shield
and kept moving, trying to ignore the screaming of his muscles.
"No! The fate of Hyrule is at stake here and all you can think of is how tired you are?! How can you be so selfish?" She flew at his side, seemingly unlabored by a full day's worth of flying.
"It's not that, it's just that- Argh!!!" Link stumbled and fell to the ground, holding his side and screaming in agony as he rolled around in the grass.
Navi flew back and asked worriedly, "What?! What's wrong? Link!! Hey!" She buzzed down closer and narrowly avoided being crushed beneath the writhing blond man.
"SIDE STITCH!!!" He managed to yell through clenched teeth. Soon the cramp passed and he sat up with an embarrassed smile on his gorgeous face. "Heh. Sorry about that. But you know, running all day isn't easy. You'd cramp up too if you were me."
"Hmph, men! A little side cramp and they cry like a baby! You have NO idea about cramps, mister! Now come on, let's move. You can walk if you need to, but walk quickly." Navi sighed and hovered as Link jumped to his feet. They were once again on the move. Link didn't get anymore side stitches and the short trip went over well. Soon they stood on the shore of the crystal clear, but very shallow, Lake Hylia. Link groaned and plopped down heavily.
"Well, this should be fun, meeting the old 'fiancée' again... Princess Ruto, the royal pain in the ass." He the said and Navi giggled. "Oh well, it has to be done. Let's get this show on the road." He stood up and shouldered the Master Sword. He took off at a quick jog towards the front entrance of the Water Temple, Navi in close pursuit. After donning his Iron Boots and Zorian Tunic, he descended into the watery depths, not to arise for quite some time...
The final battle against Morpha was intense, Link harpooned the slimy thing over and over, hacking away at it with his sword whenever it got close. It was looking like it was the end of both of them, when Link scored a lucky shot and Morpha careened away in it's death throes. Link fell to his knees and thanked the goddesses then retrieved his heart piece. About three days after first entering the temple, a weak, fatigued, and injured Link managed to drag his battered body up on top of the Temple, near the Warp Pad. He simply lay there for an indeterminable amount of time, to him, time seemed to fly by. Navi had gone to try and find help, but with little chance of success. All his potions where gone, the faeries all eaten, not even a drop of milk left in any of his bottles to cool the intense thirst that plagued his mouth. He did manage to remove all his armour and most of his clothes, leaving only his under shirt on. Fever ravaged through his system and he was sweating profusely. Soon he couldn't take it any longer and he passed into unconsciousness...
