Chapter 29
The battle was intense. Swords were clashing constantly for almost a half hour, both fighters not backing down. Ganondorf was beginning to take the other hand, however, as Link's weariness started to kick in. He winced as he felt his wounds reopen. Ganson and Zelda still lay on the ground unconscious.
"Give it up, boy," shouted Ganondorf. "You can't win! Surrender now if you want me to spare your friends and you!"
"Not a chance! I'm going to get rid of you once and for all," retorted Link. Oh Gods, what am I going to do, Link thought, a little panicky. He's too fast! I can't find a weakness anywhere, and he's not shooting his magic like before! Before Link could lose all hope, however, he noticed something about Ganondorf's actions. Since his sword was so heavy, there was a one second gap between getting ready and executing the attack where the King of Evil left himself open. That's it! I just have to get in there quick enough and strike him!
"What's the matter, boy? Had enough?" Ganondorf then laughed and got ready to attack. Link, mustering up all of his strength, darted in and stabbed Ganondorf in the stomach when he least expected it, causing the evil king's eyes to widen in shock and pain.
"Not quite!" As Ganondorf cried out in immense pain, Ganson and Zelda regained consciousness, getting up to see what happened, smiling.
"Link, you did it," cried out Ganson happily.
"We're not done yet," shouted Zelda. She then held her hands out at Ganondorf and cast a spell to hold him in place. Link then looked down at the Master Sword that resided in his hand and it started glowing. "Link, deliver the final blow!"
"Right," shouted Link. He then gripped the Master Sword tightly, darted in, and stabbed Ganondorf in the chest, causing him to scream in pain once more. Zelda then raised her hands in the air and summoned the Sages of Hyrule. A blinding flash of light appeared around Ganondorf, causing everyone to shield their eyes from the light. When the light died down, he was gone. Ganson, Zelda, and Link celebrated on the roof of the fortress, dancing and laughing, not a care in the world, until Link suddenly slowed down a lot and soon collapsed, Ganson quickly catching him and picking him up.
"Are you okay, Bro," asked Ganson worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine...now that I know Ganondorf's gone, I can rest better..." Link slowly closed his eyes, a small smile on his face. Ganson smiled slightly as well, holding Link closer to him.
"You truly are a hero..."
