Enjoy the story!))

A young, blond haired youth, climbed up the side of a towering light house. The wind blew fiercely and made his green cap flutter in the wind. His sword and shield clanged against his back. With each heave of his arm he gave out a heavy breath. It had been an hour since he had started his climb. As he looked above him and blinked his clear blue eyes, the top was near.

Reaching a hand over the railing, the boy pulled himself over and placed his feet on solid ground. He stared foreword in a shocked state. A dark, red haired man stood just a few feet from where he stood. The man let out a bellowing laughter and flapped his long cape behind him. While doing this, he stepped to the side reveling a tall, teal colored crystal. Inside the crystal held a young, beautiful blond. He eyes were closed and she appeared to be in a deep sleep.

The boy yelled out, "Princess Zelda!" He then took a half step foreword and stopped once more as the man stood back in front of the jewel.

"I think now boy. I take it you are this generations Link, no?" The man spoke in a low, gruff voice.

The boy pulled from his back a magnificent blade that glowed with great spiritual power. You could almost see the dark forces dying around it. Also from his back came his shield, blue back ground, and carrying the ancient crest of the kingdom of lore, Hyrule. "Ganondorf I presume. I have trained diligently for this day to come. The elders knew that someday you would be freed once more."

Ganondorf let out a tremendous laughter, "Foolish boy! It was the elder's fault that I am free now. I was to be sealed away forever thanks to that foolish blade, the master sword. However, your elders saw it fit that take it from my forehead and take it back to their temples. When will you foolish people learn, as long as I have the tri-force of power, I shall always live!" With the last of his words Ganondorf clutched his fist and a golden triangle glowed brightly on the back of his hand.

"Lies! The elder's sought to seal you away forever. The god's foretold of you being freed once more by a power greater then you, and that that power would also claim the master sword as their own. They took the sword away to prevent that. So as long as I hold this blade, the world shall be safe."

With that, Link charged and leapt into the air, hacking downward at Ganondorf. Out of no where, a large blade appeared in Gandondorf's hands, blocking Link's attack. He pushed Link back, sending him flying into the air. He swung his mighty blade twice, sending two dark waves of energy flying towards Link. Link gained control of his spiraling body and placed the Master Sword in front of him, hacking the two dark waves in half. It was then that he swung back, sending a brilliant wave of light crashing down on Ganondorf. Ganondorf raised his blade up the block the attack, but much to his dismay, the wave of light crashed through his massive blade, disintegrating it instantly and wounding Ganondorf. Ganondorf faltered in his back steps and held onto the wound on his chest. A long slash was in his armor's chest plate, where the wave of light had busted though his armor and cutting deep into his flesh. Blood oozed from in-between Ganondorf's fingertips, as he tried to slow the bleeding. Link landed on his feet and rushed towards Ganondorf. Ganondorf tried to keep link back with a blast of dark magic, but link side stepped the attack and tackled Ganondorf to the ground. Link raised the Master sword high and brought it down, piercing Ganondorf's chest. Ganondorf's blood boiled as the sword of evil's bane ripped through his flesh. He bent backwards, trying to fling the hero off of his body, but he was losing strength fast. He raised up a hand and grabbed hold of Link's arm weakly.

"Boy, you…you haven't…" Ganondorf coughed up blood and dropped his arm. He let go one last gasp of breath and halted all signs of living.

Link stood up, and leaving the sword in Ganondorf's chest started to walk towards the crystal. He spoke softly, only slightly turning his head back towards the lifeless body. "But I have…" He then looked back at the crystal that held Princess Zelda inside. "Princess, I'm here to save you…" Link spoke softly as he set the palm of his hand on the crystal and closed his eyes. He then hummed a soft melody, the song of the royalty of Hyrule. A golden Triangle then started to glow on the back of his hand, much like the one on Ganondorf's. Link held within his hand, the Tri-force of Courage. Slowly the crystal began to dissolve and the Princess fell out, limply, into Link's arms.

Slowly the Princess started to stir and her gentle blue eyes fluttered. She raised one hand up and touched Link's cheek softly. "Link…"

Link only nodded and placed his hand on top of hers. "It is alright Princess, you're safe.

The Princess Closed her eyes and a smile curled up on her face. "Link…" Her voice soft, like silk, whispered to her hero.

Link took her hand off of his cheek, but still held onto it. "Yes?"

Her eyes opened again slowly and squeezed Link's hand. "Link…" She paused and then squeezed harder. "…you are a fool."

Link looked at her puzzled. "What do yo…" Link tried to question her, but was hurtled back by a violent bust of dark energy. Link had released Zelda in the confusion, and was face down on the ground. He lifted himself up to one knee and looked up at Zelda.

Her once gentle blue eyes, were now cold, and expressionless. A maniacal smile curved her face.

Link, still on one knee, continued to stare at Zelda, as she seemed to change into a different person. "Zelda? What is going on?"
