Puppet Ganon

I had to stay calm. I could not panic...

'I will defeat Link,' I thought determinedly as I stroked Zelda's cheek. What a beautiful girl...gorgeous...

She was also pretty as Tetra.

I heard the door bang open.

I took a deep breath as I heard the Master Sword's blade scrape slowly along the scabbard.

"Don't be so hasty," I warned the boy. I put a hand over Zelda's forehead. Using a small bit of magic, I saw a vague picture of what was in the Princess's head. "Oceans as far as the eye can see...They are vast seas. None can swim across them. They yield no fish to catch." I recalled the words of Daphnes. "The gods had sealed away Hyrule, leaving behind those who would awaken it – you, me, Zelda, the two Sages – you pathetic creatures, all scattered across the Great Sea. What can you hope to accomplish? Don't you realize that your gods destroyed you? Don't you realize that it was the Goddesses who did this to you – who drown Hyrule?" I turned to face Link. "I've been waiting for this moment." I dashed sweat from my eyes. The magic from the Master Sword was making me panic, but I had to fight down the panic. "Do not disappoint me." I gave a roar and transformed into the puppet I had made – Puppet Ganon!

At first I looked like a Moblin creature. Some called it Humanoid form. Yes, it looked like a pig, yes, it looked like a human. But I didn't care.

I was going to slay Link.

I pounded down a fist and caught Link's leg. I crowed with joy as the boy yelled with pain. I then shot out my hand and punched Link in the face. He went flying and hit the wall, smashing two pots when he hit the ground. One of the pots contained a magic vial, another revealed to hold a Heart. Link took them both and turned to face me.

Link took out a yellow Boomerang and targeted something. I watched intently, getting ready to make my next move, but I was still curious about what was happening.

Suddenly, he let go of the Boomerang and I felt something hit the strings that connected me to the ceiling. He was trying to cut off the strings, to render me helpless! How about that. The Hero of Wind trying to harm a helpless being. He's not so Hero-like now, is he?

I released my arm, lending the punch all of my power. I smashed Link to the ground. He fell down.

He did not move.

I threw back my head and laughed. Link was dead! He had not harmed me at all!

Suddenly, something came out of Link's pocket. A faerie! I gave a roar of anger and annoyance. Link was not dead!

Link threw his boomerang again and quickly sidestepped my next punch.

The next throw of his boomerang cut the strings of my arms and my tail. Link took out the Hero's Bow, which was already strung, and nocked an arrow into it. On the tip of the arrow was something yellow..."LIGHT! LINK HAS THE POWER OF LIGHT!"

I yelled the last words, but Link didn't hear. He shot the arrow and it hit my tail. I felt the Light and Goodness seep into me, trying to destroy my Dark and Vileness.

'Work magic, work! Quick! Attach my strings!' I thought furiously. I felt my strings get reattached to each other.

I turned to face Link and let out a powerful punch, my hand landing in the shallow water. I gave a snarl and tried to punch him again as the boomerang slashed at my strings. He leapt away from my hand and caught the boomerang. He tossed it at my strings around and the strings were sliced. I was helpless! Again!

A Light Arrow struck my tail. I yelled in pain and reattached my strings. I turned and punched Link square in the face. He went flying.

Link began grappling in his bag for his Boomerang. He pulled it out and shot it at me. I couldn't escape the whizzing weapon.

I felt my strings being sliced, but not all the way. Link caught the Boomerang and leapt out of the way of my fist, but too slow! I snickered as I felt Link's bone snapped beneath my grip. Link struggled away and threw the Boomerang at me. The strings broke apart and I was helpless. Another Light Arrow pierced my tail and I gave a yell.

'Next form, Ganondorf,' I thought as I retracted to change. 'Tarantula!'
