Chapter 4: A Child's Heart
Malon fell from Ganondorf's blow into Saria's lap. She wasn't killed because her crystal took most of the blow, but she was still badly hurt. Ganondorf looked at the two and was about to deliver the final blow to them, but all of the sudden he got a sharp pain in his back. He turned around to see Link had shot him in the back with his long shot.
Link looked mad as ever, and Navi didn't looked too happy with her almost black glow. He then retraced his long shot, and Ganondor turned and looked at him. The two stared at each other for a few minutes, then Link started another strong wind. Ganondorf tried to stay on his feet, but the injuries everyone gave him made it hard to concentrate. Link then transported everyone, except Ganondorf and himself, to Lake Hylia. He then destroyed Ganondorf's castle the same way he did Lon Lon Ranch, and used Faroe's Wind to teleport to Lake Hylia himself. Once there, Link gathered some healing fairies, and gave one to Malon and Saria.
Saira asked Link, "Are.....are you ok Link?" Link just flew to the middle of the lake, were a reincarnated Morphia was lurking, and began his fight with it.
When everyone awoke, they saw Saira and Malon watching Link fight.
Zelda asked, "Did it work?"
Saira shruged, and said, "I think so. I asked him how he was doing and he just flew off to fight that thing."
Saira pointed to Morphia, and Ruto said, "Morphia?! how did she come back?"
Impa said, "Obviously Link brought her back when he was evil. But it seams that that side of him seems to be gone."
Ruto nodded in agreement and said, "Link is fighting harder than he was last time they fought. Morphia must be stronger than last time."
Saira asked, "You've seen Link fight this thing before?"
Ruto smiled and said, "Yeah, but I was a little mad at him for not seeing me in seven years."
Everyone laughed about that. And at that time, Link stabbed Morphia, and she disappeared. Then Link threw his sword at Ruto's direction. It missed Ruto barely, but it hit Morphia right in the nucleus, and she died. Everyone cheered Link as she swam back to land, and when Link made it to land, everyone was asking how was he, and telling how good of a fighter he was, but he and Navi remained quiet.
Finally, Impa asked, "What's wrong Link? We'd thought our hero would be more lively than this. Especially after the show we just saw."
Link looked at everyone, and said with tears rolling down his eyes, "What kind of hero am I? I...I hate myself for all the people I've hurt, for killing those innocent animals, for renouncing my loyalty to Zelda, and for who!? Of all people Ganondorf!"
Link picked up his sword and said, "I'm sorry, I can no longer be your hero...."
Link then used Faroe's Wind to teleport away.
"Now what do we do? We don't even know were he is." ,Naboroo asked.
"I know where he is.",Saira somberly said. "He's is at his house. I'll try to calm him down, you guys wait here."
It was agreed, and Saira set off for Link's house.
When Saira finally made it to Link's house, she saw Link crying. It was kind of odd to see a seventeen year old guy cry, but Saria tried to sympathies. Saira gently, and shyly, put her hand on Link's shoulder, but Link just pushed it off.
Saria then asked, "Link, what's the matter? Can't you see we need you?"
Link looked at the floor and said, "I can't believe I'll do all of this again...."
"What do you mean?" ,Saria asked worriedly and confused.
"Remember? To me, this is the future, I can travel but pulling the Master Sword from it's pedestal. That's why I rushed out that day, because I had to come here.", Link replied.
Saira nodded and said, "I figured that much, but why don't you want to help us any more?"
Link looked at Saira, with tears still rolling down his eyes, and said, "I've caused so much damage, and I hurt my friends. And.....what I did to you....is unforgivable."
Saria looked at Link and said, "It wasn't you Link. You really didn't want to hurt me. It was Ganondorf."
"You don't understand. Whenever he told me to do something, I felt and urge to do it then and there. It was like he wasn't ordering me, but asking me. And when he told me to read your minds, I wanted to know what you were thinking.", Link said. Link grabbed his head and said, "Those thoughts and memories keep repeating in my head! Every time one thought ends, another takes it place. And that night always ends them!"
Saira looked at Link, and saw that he was really beating himself up over this, so she said, "Please Link … calm down. It's not your fault."
Link shot his eyes at Saira and said, "You don't get it! I'm not seventeen, I'm ten! I have to live with these thoughts and memories! These thought hurt every time they run through my mind. They run through it like that dagger!"
Saira then understood what Link was going through, and tried to hug him. She tried with all her might mentally, but her body wouldn't let her. When she managed to wrap her arms around him, her mind raced to that night, her body against his in agony, and she quickly jumped away as if shocked by these thoughts.
Link sighed heavily just before Saria said, "I'm sorry Link. I know it must hurt, but I have to tell you this. Link...I-I...I love you. I love you Link, and I know the other girls do too. So please Link, fight for us. You know Ganondorf will destroy everything if you don't stop him."
Link looked at Saira and after said calming down a bit, "Ok Saira. I will avenge you, the girls, my brother, and Raura!"
Link then stood up, and Saira stood next to him, and Link used Faroe's Wind to take them to Lake Hylia.
When they arrived, they saw everyone was playing a card game.
Link and Saria laughed when they saw this, and Saira asked, "Who's winning?"
Naboroo got a sour look on her face, and said, "Malon! Fifteen card games and Malon wins everyone!"
Saria, Link, and Malon laughed, but everyone else was pretty sore. Link and Navi then took that moment to get everyone's attention. When everyone was looking at the two, Link and Navi apologized for everything they did. Everyone told them it wasn't necessary and that they were forgiven, and everything pretty much went back to normal then. Ruto kept flirting with Link, and the girls hated for Link to flirt back, so he joked and flirted with all of the girls to level everything out.
After everyone calmed down from Link coming back, and renouncing Ganondorf's leadership, Link told everyone his plan. "Ok everyone, I'm going to fight Ganon without my swords."
"But that's foolish Link, he could easily kill you like that.", Zelda quickly replied with worry.
"Not exactly. You see, I've learned many new tricks with magic. I will try to stall him with them while the Master Sword, the Giant's Knife, and the Kokiri sword drain the energy from his fire wall. Then I'll shoot him with a light arrow to hold him long enough for the you guys and Raura to seal him in the Sacred Realm.", Link explained.
Everyone agreed with that plan, and so they set off for the castle.
No one hurried to the castle, because they didn't really want to go back, so they made camp where Lon Lon Ranch used to be. Malon was a little heavy hearted about how her home was destroyed, but so was Link, so the two stayed close to each other that night, to comfort one another.
Ruto was more than a little jealous, and so were the other girls. Zelda tried to hide her jealousy, but none of the girls really could. Malon started blushing when she realized Link was spending so much time with her, and she blushed even more when Link still sat with her at dinner when she told him he didn't have to.
He did break from being with Malon to help Naboroo pitch the tents though.
While Link was helping Naboroo, Naboroo looked at Link and said, "You know Link, you can sleep with me tonight if you want."
Link looked at Naboroo and blushed.
Naboroo raised her eye brow, and thought about what she said and replied with a laugh, "Oh, not that way silly. I mean in the same tent, but if that's what you want...", she finished with a wink at.
But Link only laughed and said, "No thanks Naboroo, maybe some other time."
Naboroo smiled and said, "Ok Link, I'll hold you to that."
Naboroo invited Malon to her tent, and she accepted, since she felt as safe with Naboroo as she did with Link.
Link then helped Ruto with her tent, and of course, Ruto asked, "Can you stay with me tonight? I'll feel safer with you protecting me."
Link smiled at Ruto, seeing through her tall tale and said, "Sorry Ruto, maybe some other time."
Ruto then pouted with jealousy and said, "I guess you'll just sleep with Malon then huh? Since you're spending so much time with her!"
Link looked at her and asked, "Do you really think that?"
Ruto looked down and said, "No, I don't, but you're spending soo much time with her. You've been ignoring me all day, and I'm your fiancé!"
Link looked at Ruto and said, "I'm sorry Ruto....I promise I'll make it up to you."
Ruto then looked at Link, and made her eyes look as cute as she could and said, "Okay Link. You can make it up to me by proposing to me now, or I won't ever forgive you."
Link thought fast and said, "I…Uh.. I thought you were already my fiancé."
"That's right. Well, I'll save it for later then.", Ruto said with a grin.
So she then kissed Link, and when into her tent. Link sighed with great relief, and walked to his area, and was stopped by Zelda.
Zelda smiled and asked Link, "Don't you have a tent?"
Link only laughed, knowing where this was going, and said, "No Zelda, I don't. I plan on sleeping under the stars."
Zelda just smiled, to hide her agitation, and said, "Oh, okay... Link, Ummm....when you're finished with Ganondorf, do you think we could....spend some time with each other?"
Link smiled and said, "Maybe Zelda."
Zelda tried to smile at Link's vague answer, but she could just barley force a smile up so Link would be on his way. Link smiled back and walked pass Saira.
He noticed that she didn't have a tent, and since he talked to everyone else, he asked, "Hey Saria, are you going to sleep with one of the girls?"
She smiled, made a willow grow and drape it's leaves to the ground and said, "Nope, I prefer camping the natural way."
Link smiled, wished everyone a good night, walked to a clearing, and just sat and looked at the castle… or what was left of it.
Later, Navi flew out of Link's hat, and said, "Link, I can't sleep."
Link looked at Navi and said, "Me either Navi. I hope this works, I'd hate for any of the girls to find out my true plan, and stop me."
Navi landed on Link shoulder and said, "Yeah, I know."
Link looked at Navi and said, "You know Navi, you don't have to do this, you can stay here."
Navi only smiled and said, "It's ok Link, the Great Deku Tree told me to help you, and stick by you, and I plan to do just that."
Malon over heard this much of Link and Navi's conversation when she when to get some water, and she ran back to her tent and told Naboroo all that she heard.
Naboroo was concerned, and told Malon, "We don't need to risk Link hearing us, so we'll wait until he falls asleep, and tell everyone about it, ok?" Malon agreed, and they took shifts staying awake until Link and Navi fell asleep. The two finnaly fell asleep, and Naboroo and Malon ran and told everyone what Malon had heard.
"This doesn't sound too good, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions.", Impa said.
"I agree, Link's probably still down from everything he did under that spell… Was there anything thing he did when he said that Malon?", Zelda questioned.
Malon thought back, and said, "Well, he said it like he wasn't coming back from this fight."
No one liked the sound of that, so Saria proposed, "Well, how about we keep an eye on Link, and if he does something drastic, we'll stop him?"
Everyone agreed on that plan, since it seemed vague enough to work, and got some sleep. When the next day came, everyone awoke late, picked up camp, and set off for the floating castle. Link kept quiet, so everyone tried to make conversation with him, to help him and Navi liven up, but it didn't work much. Everyone started to worry, but Link assured them his was just concentrating on the fight at hand. Link put on his golden gauntlets, and drew the Master Sword as they entered the courtyard. Everyone looked at the new castle, and Link ran and jumped onto the floating island.
"Ganon! Get out here!", Link then yelled.
Everyone waited for a moment, then Ganondorf appeared right in front of Link.
He looked down on the Sages and Malon, and said, "Thanks for bringing the prey boy!"
And with that, he quickly flew down towards Saria and pulled out his sword. Saria looked up at Link and saw he was just watching Ganondorf calmly. At that moment, she was very scared because she didn't have anytime to protect herself, and she didn't know if Link staged this. Everyone watched in shock as Ganondorf was about to strike Saria, but just before he swiped his sword at Saira , he fell to the ground in pain. Saria and everyone looked up to see Link with his bow light arrows aimed at Ganondorf's head.
Ganondorf turned his head toward Link, and sneered, "Darn you boy!"
Link just looked down at him coldly and said, "This is between you and me Ganon. Now get up here and leave Saria and the rest of my friends alone!"
Ganondorf spat at Saria and said, "Fine fairy boy. When I'm finished with you I'll finish playing with your toys for you."
He laughed for a second, but was cut short by another light arrow to the side, and Link shouting, "Don't count on it. Now get up here before I shoot you again!"
Ganondorf grit his teeth at Link and flew up to him.
Link then looked up at him then asked, "Are you read?"
Ganondorf smiled and brought up his fire wall and called out his Iron Knuckles, which threw Link off guard. He didn't plan on fighting anyone but Ganondorf, especially not four Iron Knuckles.
Ganondorf then explained, "Once you defeat my guards, you can fight me. After all, why should I waist my time if you can't take down my guards?"
He then stood and waited for Link to finish with his guards. When everyone saw this, they flew up to the fire wall, Darunia carried Malon, so they could watch and cheer on their friend. Link smiled at everyone, and then he struck the Iron Knuckles all at once to awaken them. When the Iron Knuckles awoke, they charged Link instantly. Link was able to dodge their attacks, and quickly counter. Though Link was moving quicker than the Iron Knuckles, he was very agitated at the fact that he just wasn't as agile as usual. But, he pressed on and quickly dispersed all of them fighting armors.
Ganondorf then summoned the Armos. Link hated the Armos because they were just such a nuisance with the exploding and jumping around, so, to quickly end this part of Ganondorf's game, Link quickly threw bombs at them and ran.
"Why is Link running?" , Malon asked, "They're just statues."
"Just wait, you'll see.", Naboroo said
Malon just watched, and soon, the bombs blew up. As soon as that happened, the Armos jumped around like mad, and flashing red. Malon's heart was beating like crazy when she saw this, she wasn't expecting statues to jump around.
Malon then said, "Those must be the Armos Link told me about..."
"That's right.", Ruto assured her.
Link kept jumping, back flipping, and ducking through the Staflos until, unfortunately, a Staflos he jumped on blew up, throwing into another explosion. This continued about five more times, then Link caught himself, and quickly pushed off one Staflos just before it blew up. Once safe, Link caught his breath, and watched the rest of the Armos explode. Ganon then smiled because he knew Link was getting tired, and called a swarm of fire knees. The fire kees flew much faster than Link was used to, and Link could hit only a few with his arrows and sword. All of the sudden, they started flying in circles, and the seemed to be multiplying quickly. Soon, none of Link's friends couldn't see him, and all Link could see were strips of black, orange, and yellow. Link then got and idea, and shot some of the bats with ice arrows. It was working well, until some kees landed on the frozen kees, lost their flame, but melted the ice on the other kees. Then the kees continued their odd flight around the fire wall. Now it was pitch black, and Link couldn't see a thing. Link was a little worried now, and was wondering what the knees wee going to do. Finally, one kees flew away from the rest, and bit Link. Link yelled, brushed it off, and tried to cut it, but he couldn't even see it, so he missed. Then , one bye one, more kees kept doing then same thing. Link got sick of this, and tried to think of a way to quickly kill all of those knees. Suddenly, Link got and idea. He pulled out his Fairy bow, and pulled out a few Light Arrows, and shot them one by one at the walls. As Link had hoped, the arrows killed a large portion of the kees. Link then quickly fired more arrows until all of the pesky little bats were to be seen.
"Thanks for being so predictable Link. Now you don't have anymore of those pesky Light Arrows, and you can't get any more now! Bwahahahaha!", Ganon said with smile as Link suddenly realized he was tricked, and he had used the rest of his Light Arrows.
Link was worried, but he didn't lose hope.
Ganon then said, "Now fight an unbeatable army!"
Ganon then summoned and army of Stalk Kids.
"This is his unbeatable army?", Saria thought out loud, "Something must be up."
Impa kept looking, and said, "Well, we'll soon find out...."
Link slashed, and stabbed through every Stalk Kid quickly and their bones flew every were.
Link then looked at Ganondorf and said, "Your army has be thrown to the ground just as you'll be!"
Ganondorf only smiled back and said, "Turn around boy."
Link looked at the bones he cut, and should in shock when he saw them start to reassemble themselves.
"How's this possible?! I've destroyed a few Stalk Kids myself, and they have never come back!", Malon exclaimed.
"Ganondorf had this planned all along, he'd keep Link from hurting him with the Light Arrows, and the use his magic to keep bringing back these Stalk Kids!", Naboroo said, nowworried about how Link would finish this.
Darunia only smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother will find some way out of this, he always does."
Zelda smiled and said, "You're right Darunia. We shouldn't lose faith in Link."
After that, Daurinia started cheering for Link, and everyone else joined him. Link kept fighting harder and harder, but the Stalk Kids kept coming back, and it looked like they were multiplying. Although Link's strength was renewed when he heard his friends cheer for him, he knew he couldn't defeat these Stalk Kids like this. Link continued to fight, and destroyed the Stalk Kids in many ways, but they just wouldn't stay down. Suddenly, in the middle of a jump attack, Link felt something poking him in his back.
Link stopped and pulled it out while saying, "What in Din's name could this...."
Link stared at something and everyone, even the Stalk Kids, were curious as to what.
Saria then asked, "What is it Link?"
Link looked up and said, "My Bunny Hood...."
To be continued.....
Ok, I don't own the characters in this stroy.

Chapter 4: A Child's Heart
Malon fell from Ganondorf's blow into Saria's lap. She wasn't killed because her crystal took most of the blow, but she was still badly hurt. Ganondorf looked at the two and was about to deliver the final blow to them, but all of the sudden he got a sharp pain in his back. He turned around to see Link had shot him in the back with his long shot.
Link looked mad as ever, and Navi didn't looked too happy with her almost black glow. He then retraced his long shot, and Ganondor turned and looked at him. The two stared at each other for a few minutes, then Link started another strong wind. Ganondorf tried to stay on his feet, but the injuries everyone gave him made it hard to concentrate. Link then transported everyone, except Ganondorf and himself, to Lake Hylia. He then destroyed Ganondorf's castle the same way he did Lon Lon Ranch, and used Faroe's Wind to teleport to Lake Hylia himself. Once there, Link gathered some healing fairies, and gave one to Malon and Saria.
Saira asked Link, "Are.....are you ok Link?" Link just flew to the middle of the lake, were a reincarnated Morphia was lurking, and began his fight with it.
When everyone awoke, they saw Saira and Malon watching Link fight.
Zelda asked, "Did it work?"
Saira shruged, and said, "I think so. I asked him how he was doing and he just flew off to fight that thing."
Saira pointed to Morphia, and Ruto said, "Morphia?! how did she come back?"
Impa said, "Obviously Link brought her back when he was evil. But it seams that that side of him seems to be gone."
Ruto nodded in agreement and said, "Link is fighting harder than he was last time they fought. Morphia must be stronger than last time."
Saira asked, "You've seen Link fight this thing before?"
Ruto smiled and said, "Yeah, but I was a little mad at him for not seeing me in seven years."
Everyone laughed about that. And at that time, Link stabbed Morphia, and she disappeared. Then Link threw his sword at Ruto's direction. It missed Ruto barely, but it hit Morphia right in the nucleus, and she died. Everyone cheered Link as she swam back to land, and when Link made it to land, everyone was asking how was he, and telling how good of a fighter he was, but he and Navi remained quiet.
Finally, Impa asked, "What's wrong Link? We'd thought our hero would be more lively than this. Especially after the show we just saw."
Link looked at everyone, and said with tears rolling down his eyes, "What kind of hero am I? I...I hate myself for all the people I've hurt, for killing those innocent animals, for renouncing my loyalty to Zelda, and for who!? Of all people Ganondorf!"
Link picked up his sword and said, "I'm sorry, I can no longer be your hero...."
Link then used Faroe's Wind to teleport away.
"Now what do we do? We don't even know were he is." ,Naboroo asked.
"I know where he is.",Saira somberly said. "He's is at his house. I'll try to calm him down, you guys wait here."
It was agreed, and Saira set off for Link's house.
When Saira finally made it to Link's house, she saw Link crying. It was kind of odd to see a seventeen year old guy cry, but Saria tried to sympathies. Saira gently, and shyly, put her hand on Link's shoulder, but Link just pushed it off.
Saria then asked, "Link, what's the matter? Can't you see we need you?"
Link looked at the floor and said, "I can't believe I'll do all of this again...."

Saira nodded and said, "I figured that much, but why don't you want to help us any more?"
Link looked at Saira, with tears still rolling down his eyes, and said, "I've caused so much damage, and I hurt my friends. And.....what I did to you....is unforgivable."
Saria looked at Link and said, "It wasn't you Link. You really didn't want to hurt me. It was Ganondorf."
"You don't understand. Whenever he told me to do something, I felt and urge to do it then and there. It was like he wasn't ordering me, but asking me. And when he told me to read your minds, I wanted to know what you were thinking.", Link said. Link grabbed his head and said, "Those thoughts and memories keep repeating in my head! Every time one thought ends, another takes it place. And that night always ends them!"
Saira looked at Link, and saw that he was really beating himself up over this, so she said, "Please Link … calm down. It's not your fault."
Link shot his eyes at Saira and said, "You don't get it! I'm not seventeen, I'm ten! I have to live with these thoughts and memories! These thought hurt every time they run through my mind. They run through it like that dagger!"
Saira then understood what Link was going through, and tried to hug him. She tried with all her might mentally, but her body wouldn't let her. When she managed to wrap her arms around him, her mind raced to that night, her body against his in agony, and she quickly jumped away as if shocked by these thoughts.
Link sighed heavily just before Saria said, "I'm sorry Link. I know it must hurt, but I have to tell you this. Link...I-I...I love you. I love you Link, and I know the other girls do too. So please Link, fight for us. You know Ganondorf will destroy everything if you don't stop him."
Link looked at Saira and after said calming down a bit, "Ok Saira. I will avenge you, the girls, my brother, and Raura!"
Link then stood up, and Saira stood next to him, and Link used Faroe's Wind to take them to Lake Hylia.
When they arrived, they saw everyone was playing a card game.
Link and Saria laughed when they saw this, and Saira asked, "Who's winning?"
Naboroo got a sour look on her face, and said, "Malon! Fifteen card games and Malon wins everyone!"
Saria, Link, and Malon laughed, but everyone else was pretty sore. Link and Navi then took that moment to get everyone's attention. When everyone was looking at the two, Link and Navi apologized for everything they did. Everyone told them it wasn't necessary and that they were forgiven, and everything pretty much went back to normal then. Ruto kept flirting with Link, and the girls hated for Link to flirt back, so he joked and flirted with all of the girls to level everything out.

He did break from being with Malon to help Naboroo pitch the tents though.
While Link was helping Naboroo, Naboroo looked at Link and said, "You know Link, you can sleep with me tonight if you want."
Link looked at Naboroo and blushed.
Naboroo raised her eye brow, and thought about what she said and replied with a laugh, "Oh, not that way silly. I mean in the same tent, but if that's what you want...", she finished with a wink at.
But Link only laughed and said, "No thanks Naboroo, maybe some other time."
Naboroo smiled and said, "Ok Link, I'll hold you to that."
Naboroo invited Malon to her tent, and she accepted, since she felt as safe with Naboroo as she did with Link.
Link then helped Ruto with her tent, and of course, Ruto asked, "Can you stay with me tonight? I'll feel safer with you protecting me."
Link smiled at Ruto, seeing through her tall tale and said, "Sorry Ruto, maybe some other time."
Ruto then pouted with jealousy and said, "I guess you'll just sleep with Malon then huh? Since you're spending so much time with her!"
Link looked at her and asked, "Do you really think that?"
Ruto looked down and said, "No, I don't, but you're spending soo much time with her. You've been ignoring me all day, and I'm your fiancé!"
Link looked at Ruto and said, "I'm sorry Ruto....I promise I'll make it up to you."
Ruto then looked at Link, and made her eyes look as cute as she could and said, "Okay Link. You can make it up to me by proposing to me now, or I won't ever forgive you."
Link thought fast and said, "I…Uh.. I thought you were already my fiancé."
"That's right. Well, I'll save it for later then.", Ruto said with a grin.
So she then kissed Link, and when into her tent. Link sighed with great relief, and walked to his area, and was stopped by Zelda.
Zelda smiled and asked Link, "Don't you have a tent?"
Link only laughed, knowing where this was going, and said, "No Zelda, I don't. I plan on sleeping under the stars."
Zelda just smiled, to hide her agitation, and said, "Oh, okay... Link, Ummm....when you're finished with Ganondorf, do you think we could....spend some time with each other?"
Link smiled and said, "Maybe Zelda."
Zelda tried to smile at Link's vague answer, but she could just barley force a smile up so Link would be on his way. Link smiled back and walked pass Saira.
He noticed that she didn't have a tent, and since he talked to everyone else, he asked, "Hey Saria, are you going to sleep with one of the girls?"
She smiled, made a willow grow and drape it's leaves to the ground and said, "Nope, I prefer camping the natural way."
Link smiled, wished everyone a good night, walked to a clearing, and just sat and looked at the castle… or what was left of it.
Later, Navi flew out of Link's hat, and said, "Link, I can't sleep."
Link looked at Navi and said, "Me either Navi. I hope this works, I'd hate for any of the girls to find out my true plan, and stop me."
Navi landed on Link shoulder and said, "Yeah, I know."
Link looked at Navi and said, "You know Navi, you don't have to do this, you can stay here."
Navi only smiled and said, "It's ok Link, the Great Deku Tree told me to help you, and stick by you, and I plan to do just that."
Malon over heard this much of Link and Navi's conversation when she when to get some water, and she ran back to her tent and told Naboroo all that she heard.
Naboroo was concerned, and told Malon, "We don't need to risk Link hearing us, so we'll wait until he falls asleep, and tell everyone about it, ok?" Malon agreed, and they took shifts staying awake until Link and Navi fell asleep. The two finnaly fell asleep, and Naboroo and Malon ran and told everyone what Malon had heard.
"This doesn't sound too good, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions.", Impa said.
"I agree, Link's probably still down from everything he did under that spell… Was there anything thing he did when he said that Malon?", Zelda questioned.
Malon thought back, and said, "Well, he said it like he wasn't coming back from this fight."
No one liked the sound of that, so Saria proposed, "Well, how about we keep an eye on Link, and if he does something drastic, we'll stop him?"
Everyone agreed on that plan, since it seemed vague enough to work, and got some sleep. When the next day came, everyone awoke late, picked up camp, and set off for the floating castle. Link kept quiet, so everyone tried to make conversation with him, to help him and Navi liven up, but it didn't work much. Everyone started to worry, but Link assured them his was just concentrating on the fight at hand. Link put on his golden gauntlets, and drew the Master Sword as they entered the courtyard. Everyone looked at the new castle, and Link ran and jumped onto the floating island.
"Ganon! Get out here!", Link then yelled.
Everyone waited for a moment, then Ganondorf appeared right in front of Link.
He looked down on the Sages and Malon, and said, "Thanks for bringing the prey boy!"
And with that, he quickly flew down towards Saria and pulled out his sword. Saria looked up at Link and saw he was just watching Ganondorf calmly. At that moment, she was very scared because she didn't have anytime to protect herself, and she didn't know if Link staged this. Everyone watched in shock as Ganondorf was about to strike Saria, but just before he swiped his sword at Saira , he fell to the ground in pain. Saria and everyone looked up to see Link with his bow light arrows aimed at Ganondorf's head.
Ganondorf turned his head toward Link, and sneered, "Darn you boy!"
Link just looked down at him coldly and said, "This is between you and me Ganon. Now get up here and leave Saria and the rest of my friends alone!"
Ganondorf spat at Saria and said, "Fine fairy boy. When I'm finished with you I'll finish playing with your toys for you."
He laughed for a second, but was cut short by another light arrow to the side, and Link shouting, "Don't count on it. Now get up here before I shoot you again!"
Ganondorf grit his teeth at Link and flew up to him.
Link then looked up at him then asked, "Are you read?"
Ganondorf smiled and brought up his fire wall and called out his Iron Knuckles, which threw Link off guard. He didn't plan on fighting anyone but Ganondorf, especially not four Iron Knuckles.
Ganondorf then explained, "Once you defeat my guards, you can fight me. After all, why should I waist my time if you can't take down my guards?"
He then stood and waited for Link to finish with his guards. When everyone saw this, they flew up to the fire wall, Darunia carried Malon, so they could watch and cheer on their friend. Link smiled at everyone, and then he struck the Iron Knuckles all at once to awaken them. When the Iron Knuckles awoke, they charged Link instantly. Link was able to dodge their attacks, and quickly counter. Though Link was moving quicker than the Iron Knuckles, he was very agitated at the fact that he just wasn't as agile as usual. But, he pressed on and quickly dispersed all of them fighting armors.
Ganondorf then summoned the Armos. Link hated the Armos because they were just such a nuisance with the exploding and jumping around, so, to quickly end this part of Ganondorf's game, Link quickly threw bombs at them and ran.
"Why is Link running?" , Malon asked, "They're just statues."
"Just wait, you'll see.", Naboroo said
Malon just watched, and soon, the bombs blew up. As soon as that happened, the Armos jumped around like mad, and flashing red. Malon's heart was beating like crazy when she saw this, she wasn't expecting statues to jump around.
Malon then said, "Those must be the Armos Link told me about..."
"That's right.", Ruto assured her.
Link kept jumping, back flipping, and ducking through the Staflos until, unfortunately, a Staflos he jumped on blew up, throwing into another explosion. This continued about five more times, then Link caught himself, and quickly pushed off one Staflos just before it blew up. Once safe, Link caught his breath, and watched the rest of the Armos explode. Ganon then smiled because he knew Link was getting tired, and called a swarm of fire knees. The fire kees flew much faster than Link was used to, and Link could hit only a few with his arrows and sword. All of the sudden, they started flying in circles, and the seemed to be multiplying quickly. Soon, none of Link's friends couldn't see him, and all Link could see were strips of black, orange, and yellow. Link then got and idea, and shot some of the bats with ice arrows. It was working well, until some kees landed on the frozen kees, lost their flame, but melted the ice on the other kees. Then the kees continued their odd flight around the fire wall. Now it was pitch black, and Link couldn't see a thing. Link was a little worried now, and was wondering what the knees wee going to do. Finally, one kees flew away from the rest, and bit Link. Link yelled, brushed it off, and tried to cut it, but he couldn't even see it, so he missed. Then , one bye one, more kees kept doing then same thing. Link got sick of this, and tried to think of a way to quickly kill all of those knees. Suddenly, Link got and idea. He pulled out his Fairy bow, and pulled out a few Light Arrows, and shot them one by one at the walls. As Link had hoped, the arrows killed a large portion of the kees. Link then quickly fired more arrows until all of the pesky little bats were to be seen.
"Thanks for being so predictable Link. Now you don't have anymore of those pesky Light Arrows, and you can't get any more now! Bwahahahaha!", Ganon said with smile as Link suddenly realized he was tricked, and he had used the rest of his Light Arrows.
Link was worried, but he didn't lose hope.
Ganon then said, "Now fight an unbeatable army!"
Ganon then summoned and army of Stalk Kids.
"This is his unbeatable army?", Saria thought out loud, "Something must be up."
Impa kept looking, and said, "Well, we'll soon find out...."
Link slashed, and stabbed through every Stalk Kid quickly and their bones flew every were.
Link then looked at Ganondorf and said, "Your army has be thrown to the ground just as you'll be!"
Ganondorf only smiled back and said, "Turn around boy."
Link looked at the bones he cut, and should in shock when he saw them start to reassemble themselves.
"How's this possible?! I've destroyed a few Stalk Kids myself, and they have never come back!", Malon exclaimed.
"Ganondorf had this planned all along, he'd keep Link from hurting him with the Light Arrows, and the use his magic to keep bringing back these Stalk Kids!", Naboroo said, nowworried about how Link would finish this.
Darunia only smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother will find some way out of this, he always does."
Zelda smiled and said, "You're right Darunia. We shouldn't lose faith in Link."
After that, Daurinia started cheering for Link, and everyone else joined him. Link kept fighting harder and harder, but the Stalk Kids kept coming back, and it looked like they were multiplying. Although Link's strength was renewed when he heard his friends cheer for him, he knew he couldn't defeat these Stalk Kids like this. Link continued to fight, and destroyed the Stalk Kids in many ways, but they just wouldn't stay down. Suddenly, in the middle of a jump attack, Link felt something poking him in his back.
Link stopped and pulled it out while saying, "What in Din's name could this...."
Link stared at something and everyone, even the Stalk Kids, were curious as to what.
Saria then asked, "What is it Link?"
Link looked up and said, "My Bunny Hood...."
