His sight returned and Link saw that the beam that connected from the Fire Barrier door to the energy shield protecting Ganon's Tower had dissipated. Link removed the Goron Tunic and put his own shirt back on, sweat poured all over his body. Apparently, the Goron Tunic only kept him from burning up and didn't keep him cool. He walked over to the next door and grabbed the doorknob. Before he could turn it Navi stopped him "Link, wait!" he looked down at her with a questioning look on his face "What? What's wrong?" "I remember something about this next monster, its name is Morpha, and it'll use water to attack you." Link scoffed "How hard can it be? Its water, and beside I don't think it could use water in here. I mean its not like there's a lake in this castle." Navi floated over to his shoulder and sighed, "I guess you're right, hopefully this'll be the easiest barrier to break." Link opened the door and walked in. Inside there was a huge pit with a small puddle of water. He jumped down and landed on the floor with a splash. "So far so good." He looked around and saw that there was a door above him, but too far to reach by jumping. He thought maybe he could hook it with the Longshot, but there wasn't anything to hook onto. He looked around for something that would let him reach the door. Suddenly, Link heard a voice "So, you can't figure out my little puzzle, eh? You can't find the secret switch…oops, looks like I said too much." Then the voice disappeared. Navi flew over to what appeared to be a carving in the wall and called for Link's attention, "Hey, Link, look at this." Link walked over to where she was and studied the carving. It read: "Only those who know the Royal Family's Song may rise above the rest." Navi floated off, muttering to herself, "Royal Family's Song." A few moments of considering later she squeaked, "Use the Ocarina to play Zelda's Lullaby." Link gave her an odd face "Ocarina?" He had heard that word before, but he didn't know what it looked like, nor did he think he had one. Rolling her eyes Navi dove into his pack and uneasily came out with the instrument that Zelda gave Link that day at the Temple of Time. Link grabbed the Ocarina from the struggling fairy and put it to his lips. He drew a breath and then played one note. He stopped and looked at Navi, "How does Zelda's Lullaby go?" Navi rolled her eyes again and floated over to the carving "See these lines? See these circles? That is Zelda's Lullaby." Link nodded and began to play when Navi interrupted "You can read music, can't you?"
Smirking, Link said, "Of course, I'm in a band." Link put the Ocarina to his lips again and thought "Its just a lot harder to play an ocarina than it is to play a guitar." Slowly and unsurely he played the notes on the ocarina with some squeaking. Navi covered her ears and told him to try again. Link played it again, but this time it was much better, when he was done he heard the music reverberate off the walls. Then Link felt coldness cover his legs, he looked down and saw that the water was rising and he was rising with it. In front of him a red block was floating up also. The water stopped with a thud and so did he and the block. Link swam over to the block and put his hand on it to test it. It stayed in one place to his surprise. He lifted himself on it and opened the door. Shutting the door he looked ahead and saw another pit with oddly colored water in it. "Navi," he said with a shaky voice "Yes?" "Remember how I said there's no way there could be water inside this castle?" She floated forward a bit "Yes." He looked at her and smiled nervously, "I was wrong." She floated over the water, gasped, then quickly floated back to Link and hid behind his shoulder. "I-Its Morpha." Link unsheathed his swords and gripped them with all of his strength. An ominous bubbling was heard and Link felt sweat drip down his forehead. He wiped it off with his forearm and stared straight ahead. The bubbling was getting louder and suddenly something popped out of the water. A small ball of goo appeared, and floated over the water. Link eased his grip and laughed. "Is this it? Man, this is gonna be easier than I thought." He sheathed his swords and pulled out the Fairy Bow and an arrow out of his quiver. He prepared the arrow and pulled the taut string back. As he was preparing to release the arrow he heard more bubbling. He slowly put the bow and arrow in the pack with a look of surprise on his face. Water was floating out of the pit and was gathering around the tiny blob. After a few moments the water formed a buzzsaw and flew at Link. Link dodged it and unsheathed the Master Sword. Again, Morpha flew at him Link moved to the side and slashed at the goo ball. His sword stuck in the water and Link couldn't pull it out for all he was worth. Finally, after several seconds of struggling the sword was sucked in by Morpha. Morpha began to twirl around again, but stayed in one spot. After a while of spinning Link had trouble keeping his eyes on it without passing out from dizziness. The water saw stopped and sent the Master Sword flying at Link. Link barely dodged the missile and it lodged in the wall.
Link tried to pull it out, but to no avail. He looked back at Morpha only to see it flying at him again. He leapt and it missed him only by a few inches. Link recovered with a scratch on his cheek. Navi began to whisper something in his ear "Use the Longshot." Link quickly reached into his pack and pulled out the Longshot. He aimed it at the blob. Morpha flew at him again. It all seemed to be happening in slow motion. Link pressed the button that sent out the hook that connected with the amoeba and pulled it toward him. As it flew out of its protective shield the water degenerated and fell to the ground leaving a puddle. As the hooked Morpha flew toward him, Link pulled out the Havoc Blade with his free hand. Screaming he plunged it into the creature. A screech emanated from it and the water began to bubble. Morpha slowly floated over the water and exploded, leaving tiny bits and pieces of it all around the room. Link shielded his face with his forearm and removed it, seeing that the water evaporated. In the vapor two glowing eyes appeared, then a voice, "Curse you, kid! You defeated my puppet, my dragon, and now you beat my amoeba! You're starting to become a nuisance!" Link yelled with courage in his voice, "Oh yea? Well, you're up next you idiot!" "Ha Ha Ha. You got spunk, kid, I'll give you that, but when….if you get to me, you won't last a second." The eyes disappeared and the vapor floated out of a hole in the ceiling. Link walked over to the Master Sword and pulled it out of the wall with ease. "Well, I'll be." He brushed the amoeba guts off of him and walked out the door. When he reached the previous room he heard bubbling. He grabbed both of his swords and readied himself. Seeing what it was he eased his grip and sheathed the swords. Out of the water popped Ruto, the Water Sage. She smiled and giggled "Hi, Link, I see you beat Morpha." She pulled herself up on the block and stood only a few inches from Link's face. "Ruto, I.." She put her finger over his mouth "Stop, I know what you're going to say." He removed her finger and gave her an odd look "Really?" She nodded "Yes, you were going to say 'Ruto, I love you and I want to marry you', but we can't you're a Hylian and I'm a Zora, can you imagine our children?"
Link began to laugh and Ruto gave him an odd look. "I wasn't going to say that, I was gonna say that you're standing on my foot." Embarrassed she looked down and saw that she was indeed standing on his foot. Removing it she apologized "It's ok." Link said smiling. Clearing her throat she held her hands out "Here take this, it's a scale of the Zora god, Jabu-Jabu." He took it and put it in his pack along with the other things the other Sages gave him. A blue light filled Link's vision and he found himself standing outside of the Water Barrier's door. The words that Ruto said before he transported echoed in his head "Your family has been blessed and cursed. I pray that with our help you defeat Ganondorf once and for all and Hyrule may live in peace forever."
