Wow! It's an update! Yippie! Sorry about making you wait so long. I prefer to update quickly,
but I was busy this week. I had to ground myself from the comp to study. Now I'm back! And I
have a new chapter! Also, I have decided how to denote which Link I am referring to. LinkT is the
Hero of Time. LinkW is the Hero of Wind. So, on with the story! As always, please be sure to
drop me a review!

Chapter Eight
A Link to the Past
LAST TIME:
Link the Wind Waker blinked in surprise. "What? Did that kill him?"
"No." The Hero of Winds turned questioningly to the other green clad boy hero. The Hero
of Time continued. "That was his own spell."
"Huh?"
"He got away."
NOW:
The Wind Waker scratched his head. "Oh."
The Hero of Time and the Hero of Wind studied each other for a moment. Finally, the Hero
of Time opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could say anything, he found himself being
tackled to the ground, where someone proceeded to both squeeze the breath out of him and give him
whiplash. LinkT looked down and found a forest of green hair. "Sa-ri-a I c-can't bre-breath!"
The Forest Sage quickly pulled away, blushing furiously. "Uh, sorry, Link. I thought you
were gone for good!"
LinkT scratched his head and gave a sheepish grin. "Well, I was supposed to be." Saria
scowled at him. "But, uh, it looks like someone woke us up."
"Ahem."
LinkT and Saria quickly turned to find the group around staring at them oddly. Both
quickly climbed to their feet, again blushing. The Hero of Time scratched his head and extended his
free hand to lookalike. "Uh, hi. I'm Link."
The Wind Waker shook the hand, but blinked in surprise. "Uh, so am I."
"Huh?"
The Wind Waker shrugged. "My name is Link as well."
"Oh." LinkT shrugged. Then he looked thoughtful. "Uh, can anyone tell me where I am?"
Everyone sweat-dropped. Tetra rolled her eyes. "You're on Outset Island."
LinkT blinked. "Where?"
Saria stepped in between them. "I think it's somewhere between where Lake Hylia and the
Gerudo Fortress used to be."
The Hero of Time looked at her in surprise. "What do you mean 'used to be?'"
Saria gave a sad smile. "Several hundred years ago, Hyrule was buried under this sea.
These islands are all that is left."
"WHAT?!"
"That is true," the younger green clad boy said stepping forward. "And you were from
Hyrule? You are really the Hero of Time?"
"Huh?" LinkT turned to his counterpart. "Oh, yeah. I am." He turned back to Saria. "But,
why the heck was Hyrule flooded?!"
"Ganon returned."
". . . . . oh."
Saria nodded. "Hyrule was flooded by the gods to prevent Ganon from spreading his evil.
About a year ago, he resurfaced again at full power."
LinkT scratched his head. "But, I didn't think he could do that while the Master Sword was
in place."
All eyes turned to the Hero of Winds. He blinked in surprise under the stares. "Hey! That
is NOT my fault!"
The Hero of Time scratched his head and sighed. "You removed the Master Sword?"
LinkW shrugged. "Ganon was already back. I had to use it to stop him. He had kidnaped
my sister."
LinkT turned to look at the young girl with blond hair standing close to the Hero of Winds.
"I see. So what happened?"
"Well, I confronted Ganon . . ."
"And had his butt handed to him on a platter," the pirate girl interrupted.
Turning red, LinkW quickly added, "The first time!"
"First Time?" LinkT asked.
The Wind Waker nodded. "The Master Sword had lost it's ability to repel evil. I had to go
find two new sages for the earth and wind temples to restore the sword. Then I confronted Ganon
again. That time I won!"
The Hero of Time studied the Wind Waker curiously. "You defeated Ganon?" LinkW
nodded. "So, where is the Master Sword now?"
LinkW stammered a bit. "Uh, well, it's kinda stuck in Ganon's head. At the bottom of the
sea."
The Hero of Time looked at him like he was crazy. "What?!" All the others nodded.
LinkT rubbed his forehead. "Oh boy."
Tetra spoke up again. "How about we go to Link's house. We will explain exactly what
has happened around here. And you can explain what that thing we fought was."
"Yes, Princess," both Links replied sarcastically in unison. They stared at each other and
blinked in surprise. Then everyone burst out laughing. Except for Tetra, who was beginning to
steam.
"Is it THAT obvious?"
LinkT chuckled. "It's the bossy attitude."
"WHAT?!"
"I mean the charming good looks." Tetra glared at the Hero of Time. Everyone else
laughed even harder.
Then they noticed that the entire village was watching them with surprise and curiosity.
Everyone suddenly became quiet. LinkW scratched his head nervously. "Uh, we were attacked by
some kind of demon. Nothing to see now. Sorry about the house, Orca. Well . . . got to go!" With
that, he quickly headed towards his house. Tetra, Aryll, LinkT, Saria, Medli, and Makar all
followed. Eventually, the crowd dissipated. Boy, did they have some interesting gossip! Except for
Orca, who was inspecting his ruined dojo sadly.
* * * * * * *
The Fierce Deity landed heavily on a deserted island. The island was of good size, and he
decided it would make a suitable base of operations. Until he destroyed the world, that is. The
bleeding and battered demigod pulled himself up to a large boulder, which covered the middle of the
island. Raising his hand, he cast a magic spell on the rock. The stone began to shift and stretch. It
expanded upwards, forming a large stone tower.
Satisfied, the god of wrath, drug himself into the keep. Casting that spell had drained him
much more than it should have. He was injured and had not completely recovered from being sealed
away. Now, he needed to heal and replenish his strength.
Then he would worry about how to handle the Hero of Time and his new cohort. Something
needed to be done about those Light Arrows. Before today, the evil god had been confident in his
ability to simply dodge them. But the Little Hero Boy was crafty. He would need to be careful.
With that thought, the Oni pulled himself into his new throne room and dropped into a
healing meditation. This would take a while to heal.
* * * * * * *
Both Links and the rest of the group were at LinkW's house. His grandmother had provided
her special soup for everyone. LinkT had been so hungry that he had gotten seconds. And thirds.
And fourths. Saria had stopped him before he asked for fifths.
While they ate, LinkW and Tetra filled them in or the recent clash with Ganondorf. Aryll,
Medli, and Makar interjected every now and again with details that had been left out. Saria also
provided some background information that only she knew.
LinkT listened with great interest to their story. At the end he scratched his chin
thoughtfully. "So, the Master Sword is sealing Ganon at the bottom of the sea. Along with the
remains of Hyrule." The others nodded. "Just great," the Hero of Time commented dryly.
"How about you?" LinkW asked. The Hero of Time turned to him questioningly. "What
was that thing we fought?" the Wind Waker asked.
LinkT nodded. "That was the Fierce Deity. And ancient god of wrath. Shortly after Ganon
was sealed away in the Sacred Realm, I went on a journey looking for a friend of mine.
Inadvertently, I wound up in a parallel world called Termina. I was trapped in a time loop,
repeating the same three days over and over in an attempt to stop and evil force from crashing the
moon down on the land. The evil force came from a mask, Majora's Mask, which had possessed a
Skull Kid. When I confronted the mask, which had a will and mind of it's own, I received a new
mask. This was the Fierce Deity Mask. Majora's Mask treated everything like a game. It wanted
me to play with it using the mask. I used the mask and was transformed into an unstoppable Oni. I
easily defeated Majora and saved Termina."
LinkT sighed and continued his story. "I brought the Fierce Deity Mask back to Hyrule
with me, along with the other magic masks I had collected. I didn't understand the truth about the
Fierce Deity until later. Several years after my trip to Termina, the spirit sealed within the mask
broke free. That is the Fierce Deity you saw. He went around Hyrule destroying villages and
leaving only death in its wake. I pursued the demon-god to Ganondorf's old fortress. There I fought
the demigod. In the end, I realized I could not win. Any cut my sword made was easily healed, and
he could dodge my Light Arrows easily. I finally used the Triforce of Courage to seal both myself
and the god of wrath away in stone."
At this point LinkT shrugged. "We were supposed to stay that way forever. Someone must
have disturbed the alter." Tetra shifted uncomfortably. "Anyway, now the Oni is back. I have to
stop him before he goes back to wiping out the people of this world."
LinkW nodded. "I'll help. It's probably our fault the seal was broken. Besides, with you
and I both shooting Light Arrows, I'm sure we can get him!"
The Hero of Time shook his head. "No, what you saw today was only part of his power. He
was still recovering from being sealed. Next time we face him he will be at full power. And he will
have likely taken measures to prevent the use of Light Arrows."
The Wind Waker shrugged. "So, what do we do?"
"We need the Master Sword. It's the only thing I know of that can kill him besides Light
Arrows."
"But," LinkW continued, "The Master Sword is sealed with Ganondorf at the bottom of the
sea."
The Hero of Time nodded. "So . . . . anyone know how to raise Hyrule again?"
but I was busy this week. I had to ground myself from the comp to study. Now I'm back! And I
