The Twist of Time

Shadow of Past, Present and Future


The sun light from above woke Link up. Slowly, climbing up the ladder he walked across the hot desert. After an hour or so, he reached the Gerudo fortress. Fer sat at the front of the gate. When she saw Link alone, she became curious.

"Where's the other one?" She asked.

"I don't know…he just disappeared." Link said shrugging. He got out his map and looked at it. Fer looked down upon it.

"So…what are you going to do?" Fer asked curiously. Link shrugged.

"To tell the truth, I have got no idea." Link looked around at the surrounding area, seeing as his map was…to futuristic and was useless because of it.

"You could…" Fer looked for the right words for a while, as it was hard to think of the right words. " I would say upgrade but, if you are telling the truth about coming from a different age, you would have to down grade it…" Fer said reasoning. Link picked up the map, and put it away.

"I'll just explore until I can find I can find Link and Navi." Link said, and if you didn't now him, you would never of seen the glitter in his eyes telling he was going to look forward to it. Leaving the fortress, they headed north, towards Death Mountain. They didn't get to it though, seeing as they passed the castle, which drew Link's attention.

"What happened there?" He asked, feeling the evil he had only felt once before, not to long ago.

"That once was the proud establishment of Hyrule Castle, but when Ganondorf attacked…well, he took over the castle and does all his evil work from there." Fer said, looking at it sadly. They stood, in morning. It was broken when a loud screech was heard from inside the castle walls. Before Fer could stop him, the younger Link had run in. He, never seeing a Redead before was at a disadvantage, but seeing the older Link frozen game him some idea of what they do. Navi, floating over one Redead was just shouting 'Hey, Hey, come on Link! Freeze them, Attack them, DO ANYTHING!' over and over again. Before a Redead touched the older Link, it was frozen. The younger then loaded his slingshot with a light blue seed, and hit the Redead, which set a gale upon on the Redead, lifting it off the ground and it disappeared into the sky. Navi turned-if you can tell when she turns…- to the younger, while the older recovered. Navi scowled, or tried to with her blue light turning a tiny bit darker. Before the other Redead got to either Link, they were running out the castle. Fer waited patiently at the entrance, with a bored expression on her face(am I making her sound like a shinx?).

"Well, It is great to see you again." The older said, with a grin on his face. This was returned by the younger, for a second, as the younger's eyes had traveled past him.

"Is that…smoke?" The younger said, pointing to the base of Death Mountain, Koinal Village. The older turned around quickly and looked at the wisps of smoke raise up into the sky, before coming to his senses and running, with Navi and the younger Link following. Once arriving at the village, the fire was visible on many of the houses, and a person standing by the well. They turned and looked at Link.

"Sheik!" The older said, in somewhat shock. The younger, looking confused, stayed back a bit.

"The shadow of the well is about to-" The speech was broken up, by an earthquake as dust came out from the well, followed by a dark shadow, making the younger look in shock.

"No…I killed her…" Escaped the younger Link's lips. The shadow didn't hear it and seemed to be getting ready to charge at the elder Link. The elder Link got in a fighting stance, ready to attack it.

"No, it won't work, she's a shadow!" The younger yelled, as the shadow charged. Knowing the older Link wouldn't listen, the younger got out a green seed and through it. After doing that, the shadow seemed to howl in pain, and turned towards to the younger, while he unfastened the seed sachet. The shadow charged at the younger, and hit him full force, knocking him backwards. The older ran towards him, and looked down at him. He took a step back, in horror as he got up, but his were red, an evil smile graced his features.

"This persons body is truly powerful, as he is wise. Knowing I was a shadow, at first glance…It is truly amazing…" The younger Link said, while seeming to examine his hand, the left hand. "And what's this? The sign of the triforce?" Another evil laugh entered the air. The elder looked at him.

"What did the shadow do to you?" He asked, taking another step back. His sword was held up in front of him. The red eyes went over to the elder.

"A blade, you threaten me with a blade? You know it won't work, I am only using this boys body. But it has magic enough to dispose of you…but I will let you off for now." He raised his arms, and disappeared. The elder turned to Sheik.

"What just happened?" Sheik looked more confused then Link at the moment. After many minutes of a dreadful silence, Sheik finally replied.

"I believe that was the shadow of the well." Sheik said, then looking at the fallen sachet. An odd look filled his vissable eye.

"Your friend knew the weakness of the creature, and that it was a shadow. Odd…"Sheik said, leaving his sentence hanging. Link picked up the sachet, and opened it. Insides there were many types of seeds, Green ones, blue ones, a red one and a yellow one. They were obviously a lot different from Deku seeds. After shutting the bag, he tied it onto the belt. Looking at Sheik, his eyes shown with determination.

"How do I get to the Shadow Temple?"
