Chapter 4: Jailbreak

Link slowly opened his eyes and took in his surroundings. Stone walls, metal bars, Moblin guard asleep in the hallway, Princess Zelda lying on the floor across the room… Princess Zelda? Link stood up and walked over to her, and shook her awake.

"Zelda? Are you OK?" he asked.

Zelda opened her eyes and stood up groggily.

"Link? What are you doing here?"

"Dropped in for the scenery. Nice place, don't you think?" joked Link.

"Ganondorf got you too, huh?"

"Yeah."

Zelda thought for a moment.

"Oh no! We're both locked up here, who's going to defend Hyrule?"

"Hey, you're right. I'm not there to stop Ganondorf; you're not there to be a spectator."

"Don't start that again," Zelda pleaded.

"Sorry. Right then, we've got to find a way out of here," said Link. "I know. You can teleport us out of here, or make a portal, or something."

"I can't," she replied sadly. "That was the first thing I tried. Ganondorf must have put a curse on me, to stop me using my magic. Try your Magic Mirror."

"Can't. Ganondorf's goons took all my weapons," Link said plainly. Then, his face contorted into a look of rage, and he picked up a nearby chair and hurled it at the wall. The noise woke the Moblin in the hallway.

"Keep it down in there!" he grunted. "Master Ganon's got big plans for you two. You're being executed at sundown." And he went back to sleep.

Link was still fuming, and Zelda started to worry. Even with no weapons, he could still be dangerous, and he was really on edge now. He could turn nasty at any time.

"Link, calm down. That won't help anything," she said.

Link looked at her with a sly smile on his face. "Yes it will," he said, and he grabbed the chair, and threw it against the bars. The Moblin woke up again.

"That's it!" he shouted. "I'm gonna sort you out…"

But there was no-one in the cell.

"What the…" he grunted, confused. He unlocked the door and walked in. Link dropped down from the ceiling, behind the Moblin, and kicked him in the back, then smashed him on the head with the chair, killing him. Then, he turned to Zelda.

"Let's go," he said.
