Chapter 27
Link woke up in his bed and looked around. Impa gently pushed him back down in bed to rest. Link looked up at her, a little confused.
"Impa, where is my brother," asked Link.
"He's gone to fight Ganondorf and rescue Princess Zelda," the Sheikah explained. "He didn't want you to get hurt again, or possibly killed, so he went in your place." Link frowned and lowered his head.
"He's really gone to fight him?" Impa nodded slowly.
"What you need to worry about is resting up and healing. We'll take care of you. Your brother is going to be fine." Link nodded slightly and slowly closed his eyes. Impa gently brushed some hair out of Link's shut eyes and left the room. The Sheikah headed downstairs with a frown and arrived in the throne room. There the king sat in his throne with an extremely worried look on his face. Impa walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Everything is going to work out, Your Majesty. Princess Zelda is going to come back safely. I just know it."
"Thank you for your kind words, Impa," sighed the king. "I'm just worried about my daughter, that's all."
"I understand. Link is worried about her safety and also the safety of Ganson."
"How is he doing?"
"He seems to be doing a little better. He's still weak, though, and he seemed upset when I left." The king then stood up.
"I'll go speak with him. Maybe it will help me ease my pain." Impa nodded and stepped out of the way. The king made his way up the stairs to Link's quarters and gently knocked on the door. "Link, it's me. Are you okay in there?" No answer. The king knocked again. "May I come in?" No answer again. The king grew worried and decided to open the door. His eyes widened once he saw that Link was nowhere to be found. He frantically searched the room, only to find out that his weapons were gone, too. He then looked on Link's desk and saw a note. He gingerly picked it up and read it.
To His Majesty, Impa, and whomever else reads this,
I've gone off to help my brother fight Ganondorf and rescue Princess Zelda. I know I shouldn't be out of bed, but I had no other choice. I drank a red potion before leaving, and I'm already feeling better. I thank you all for taking care of me and helping me in my time of need. You're like family to me, and I'll do all in my power to make sure that nothing happens to you guys or this country. Wish me luck. I will return.
Sincerely,
Link
The king stood there, shocked. Impa came into the room and noticed the scene, quickly going over to the king.
"Your Majesty, what has happened," she asked worriedly. The king showed her Link's note and she immediately read it, her eyes growing wide with shock. "He's gone to fight anyway. I just hope he makes it back alive. All of them."
