But Malon did not get another letter from link, nor did he return to Hyrule. They each died with Love for each other in their hearts, Malon, at the hands of a ruthless enemy while looking for Link for 2 years, after she wrote her letter, and Link in the same forest by the same ruthless creature.
Link found Malon's lifeless body a day after she'd been killed he had no fairies and the nearest village was miles from here. He wept saying to her
"I was coming back for you! Why did you come here?" The creature came back to take Malon's body for it's young but Link wouldn't let it take her, even though she was dead he would still protect her. He killed it but was badly wounded in the process, both his legs were broken and his blood draining from a gash from the creatures enormous claws. He dragged himself painfully to her and stroked her fire red hair and kissed her cold lips for both the first and last time. And there fell asleep with his hand in Malon's. But they would not wake up, no matter how Epona tried they would not wake up. Epona went back to Lon Lon Ranch a frustrated and temperamental horse. None could tame her. The only people who could were dead, laying side by side, holding hands in an evil forest.
