Chapter 15: Moving on to Inferno

Link awoke several hours later. It was now dark outside, and there was no sign of Gradil. Link walked up to the counter.

"Gradil?" said Link. "You done yet, I gotta go."

Gradil walked round the counter. He handed Link's items back to him.

"I'm done with these," he said. "I've added a scope to your bow, you can control your Bombchus, and I've made these."

He handed Link a pair of blue boots, and some blue-tipped arrows.

"Heat resistant boots, and Ice Arrows," he said.

He went back behind the counter, and emerged carrying a familiar-looking weapon.

"Freezard's sword!" said Link. "Where did you get that?"

"I made it," said Gradil, beaming. "This one's an exact replica of Freezard's weapon, Cocytus, but lighter. You can use this with one hand."

Link took it from Gradil, and tested it.

"Great work," said Link.

"It's got some magic power as well," said Gradil. "You might need it."

"See you around," he said, leaving the shop.

Link later arrived in what appeared to be Kakariko Village. He then realised it couldn't be, because it was on fire.

"So this is Blaze Town," said Link. He spotted a group of Moblins heading towards him. He pulled out his new sword, Cocytus, and slammed the first Moblin with it. A Darknut emerged from one of the houses, and hit Link in the back, knocking Cocytus out of his hand. It stuck in the ground, and ice began to spread across the ground from the sword, freezing the Moblins and the Darknut. He pulled out the sword and shattered the monsters.

"Cool," he said.

He made his way through the town until he reached a gate with a sign. The sign said, "None shall climb Inferno Mountain without permission of Inferno, Master of Blaze Town."

Link laughed, and tried to open the gate. It was locked. He shot an Ice Arrow at the gate, freezing it, then ran up and drop-kicked it. The gate smashed. Link set off, up the mountain. About 10 minutes up, and he heard a rumbling sound. He looked up the trail, and saw what looked like a huge black boulder rolling towards him. It stopped, and uncurled. It was a huge black Dodongo. It breathed purple flames at Link, who ran into a nearby cave to escape. The Dodongo followed him in and tail-smashed the walls, blocking the entrance with rocks. Link drew Cocytus and prepared to fight.
