Cursed

Pt.2

I stare fearfully at mere size of Ganon. The monstrous beast before me is known as the most powerful thing in Hyrule. Of course it makes sense, Ganondorf does have the Triforce of Courage. But does Ganon? I muse, If Ganon doesn't have Triforce of Power then he might have a weakness!

I knew I couldn't use the Light Arrows on Ganon effectively. The armor on this creature appears harder than diamond. All arrows would do is reflect back at me, the Longshot will break on his armor, and I doubt the explosion of a bomb could do the trick.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I dodge the thrust of one of Ganon's large swords. Where did they come from? The swords just seem to appear out of the evil being of Ganon. Evil being of Ganon. Evil being... Evil... Of Course! No matter the amount of armor, the Master Sword will pierce him, being the Sword of Evil's Bane! I stratigize.

" Don't just stand there thinking it! Go get the Master Sword!" Navi shreiks in her shrill voice.

I turn toward the Master Sword. As quickly as I turn, Ganon makes his way in my path. He's fast for such a large ceature. But I must get the sword! Thinking desperately of a way past the beast, I pull the Megaton Hammer from my arsenal. Very hopeful of this working, I hurl the hammer at the monstrosity's head. Moving with the hammer I run at Ganon.

Distracted by me, the hammer's head contacts with Ganon's right between the eyes. With the hammer ricocheting away I know it hit Ganon. I somersault between Ganon's legs, becoming behind him instantly. Quickly to my feet I run again but not before making a quick observation. His tail isn't armored!

Looking back at the Master Sword, I notice that Zelda's pulling the sword from the ground. I come closer to Zelda who holds my sword. I'm just yards away... feet...I'm there. Zelda hands me the Sacred Master Sword.

" Good luck, Link." Zelda says encouraging me to move on.

If Zelda thinks I can do it, I can! I think positively and turn back to Ganon. He still looks around spastically looking for me. Feeling confident I whistle again, revealing my location to Ganon. The King of Evil turns to me with hate in his eyes. His bright yellow eyes narrow is distaste then open much wider.

I feel the air behind me heat significantly. Zelda yells causing me to turn concernedly. The source of the heat rising is a wall of fire seperating me from Zelda. Zelda! I instantly fear for her safety.

My air swiftly leaves me as a large hand grips in its palm. It brings me face to face with Ganon. His eyes, not a foot from my own, shine with odd light. I can smell his breath from my location, it's like rotten meat. Ganon grip tightens, sucking more breath from my lungs. Navi! Help!

Navi flies repeatedly in front of Ganon's eyes. Becoming annoyed of my faires antincs Ganon tries to snatch her from the air. With Ganon focused on Navi, he unknowingly loosens his hold. Knowing this distraction might be my last chance I reach for my deku nut bag.

Precisively opening the bag I close my eyes to shield them from the upcoming flash. I turn over the bag releasing a total of twenty deku nuts. Seeing the bright light, Ganon brings his hands to his eyes, letting go of me in the process.

With the many spots he must be seeing I was unnoticed in sneaking behind Ganon. I raise and bring down my sword, severing Ganon's tail straight off. In obvious pain Ganon turns ferociously at me. He brings down his head to see exactly what chopped off his tail.

Dumb beast! I believe unrashinally. I thrust my sword at Ganon's forehead but he quickly blocked my attack with his hand but got a deep gash for his troubles. Ganon made a low growling noise which I knew not to be good.

" Aaaah! Link!" Zelda shouted panically. I turn to Zelda to see what had happened. All the ReDeads were coming toward the Castle Wreckage with Stalfos and Iron Knuckles friends.

For Din's sake! When will I ever get a welcomed variable! I'm snapped out of my thoughts as I'm swatted aside by Ganon's hand. I land unmercifully on my ankle. Ah, my ankle. I thought with gritted teeth.

Ganon swings his swords violently trying to slay me. I dodge valiantly but I get slashed across my chest by Ganon. I don't have time for this! I have to save Zelda!

Desperately thinking of some method I come to an old trick. I reach into my tunic for one of the Godesses Crystal. My hand only finds one left. Godesses, please let this be the right one!

I open my hand to reveal an ocean blue crystal, Nayru's Love. Crud, this won't do me any good. But it might help Zelda. Navi, bring this to Zelda. Quick! I instruct my fairy. Navi swoops down and grabs the crystal from my hand.

Obeying quickly Navi brings Nayru's Love to Zelda. The bright blue light proves to me that she recieved it. But my distraction allowed Ganon to grab me in his clutches again. He doesn't try to squeeze the life out off me, I don't know why.

Ganon brings me to his face again. Words seem to come from the air but I know that Ganondorf is somehow speaking.

" I don't know how you managed to kill me but my alter-ego will utterly destroy you." Ganondorf spoke to me.

And I thought Sheik was bad. I found humor in the middle of battle. Knowing that Ganon wouldn't stop from crushing me just because he has a moment to boast. His grip began to tighten.

" Now that you have no more deku nuts, how do you plan to defeat the mighty King of Evil!" Ganondorf laughed within Ganon. Hearing Ganondorf's voice made me remember my battle with him. Then it him me or actually him.

I shook an arm free while Ganondorf laughed. I found a remaining Light Arrow and pushed it into Ganon's mouth. The purity in the arrow obviously brought great pain to King of Evil. In frustration, Ganon threw me at the wall of fire. I landed on my ankle again, only further injuring myself.

Ganon fell to his knees and was struck by a stream of bright light. I looked to the source which was Princess Zelda. Nayru's Love had faded and Ganon's minions were still on her tail.

Then the Master Sword caught my attention, which had started to glow bright blue.

Godesses, I hope this works. Was all I could think. Right now I could save Zelda or slay Ganon and let her die. But if he created them, then wouldn't they die if he died.

With hope and new energy I thrusted my sword forward. My blade came in contact with the skull of Ganon. I felt the blood on my hand from it sliding down my sword.

I let go of the sword leaving it in Ganon's cranium. Zelda fell to the ground from exhaustion.

Zelda!!!

I remember thinking before it all went blank.......


" Link, Hero of Time, Wielder of the Master Sword, awake!" a familiar voice commanded.

I felt dazed. I had a horrible headache and everything was spinning. I searched my mind desperately for what I was doing.

Light Arrows...Ganon's Castle...Sages....Master Sword...Zelda...Zelda! I sat up frantically. I was in a bed somewhere. The room was completly white and seem to go on forever.

" Welcome to the Sacred Realm, Link." Now said a different voice. That's when I noticed who was there. At my bedside was Saria, Darunia, Ruto, Impa, Nabooru, and Rauru. They all seemed joyous at my awakening except for Impa, who kept a neutral expression.

" Link, you did it. You defeated the Evil King Ganondorf. You are truly the Hero of Time." Rauru spoke dignified with a diplomatic tone.

" I knew you could do it Link!" Saria happily said with her usual cheerful face.

" I'd expect nothing less from my Sworn Brother." Darunia stated with pride.

" Congratulations, Link." Ruto acknowleged.

" You did well, just as we thought." Impa told me as if this happned every day.

" You got rid of that maniacal man, we all owe you for that." Nabooru thanked me graciously.

I heard their compliments but didn't really care. The look on my face probably gave away what I was thinking.

" The princess is perfectly fine. She's waiting for you outside the door." Rauru assured me. That didn't really make sense to me. What door?! " We will leave you now. When you wish to leave, call us."


When the Sages left in a flash of colors I left the bed. I changed into another Kokiri Tunic sense my other had seen better days. Because of habit I tried to attach the Master Sword to my back but the scabbard was empty.

I would have paniced if I didn't know that the Sages wouldn't leave the Holy Blade in the head of Ganon. I still strapped the sheath into place and wore my Hylian Shield.

Once ready, I remembered what I needed to do to leave. But how do I call them?

No sooner had I thought the words then I was in the sky. I was standing on a cloud looking down upon the world. From this heaight everything under me seemed insignificant.

" Link..." I heard a feminine voice called me. I turned to have my eyes on Zelda. She stood on a cloud like me. In her hands was the Master Sword. Zelda held it out for me to take. I took the sword from her hands and slid it into its sheath.

" There's a reason I want to talk to you." I didn't like the tone she spoke in. She looked solemn and very disappointed. " There is something I need to do."

" Link, it is all my fault that you had to experiance what you did. All the monsters after you, never able to walk without looking over your shoulder, all the bloodshed, I made you witness all of this. Before I complicated everything you were still an innocent child. I forced you in to becoming a murderous warrior. If only I had never set you to recover all the Spiritual Stones..." Zelda began to cry as she filibustered her hidden point.

No Zelda, don't think of it like that. I would do all of it over again if you wished. I thought sympathetically. I brought Zelda into an embrace and let her cry on my shoulder.

" It's all my fault that Hyrule went into seven years of despair." She continued between sobs. " Seven years of horrible paranoia in my people. Seven years of never-ending unhappiness. Seven years that you never got to live. Th-That's why i mu-must..." she stopped and pushed herself from my arms.

Zelda tooked a deep breath to try to hold her tears.

" That is why I must send you back seven years to the time you belong..."


Don't have nothin' to say so I'll spare you.
