A/N: Just figured I'd say something before you went off reading the FINAL chapter of my Ocarina of Time story. Yes, that's right, the FINAL chapter. The entire battle scene is mostly my own idea. I found the outfit Link wears in this chapter in a picture while I was online. I liked it a lot, so I figured I'd put him in it here. This is the final chapter, though. Who can win now that the Master Sword has been destroyed? How will anyone but Ganon win? Read, find out, then review. It's the last chapter, so it's your final chance to review.
Chapter 14: The Final Battle
Link looked down, his eyes closed. Ganondorf looked down at him, his swords ready to strike. Link just stood there, not moving at all. Ganondorf rose his sword above his head. "Link, move!" Zelda shouted. Ganon's sword came down, stopping just above Link's head. Link opened his eyes, and his eyes showed a golden glow. Zelda gasped, just staring. She didn't know what was going on.
"Ganondorf, thy heart seeks only power," Link spoke. "As such, even after death, you could not let go. Power consumed you, and now you are nothing more then a beast." Link looked up, staring right into Ganondorf's eyes. "Now, you shall see what happens when courage stands up against power." Link waved his hand in front of his face, and the Triforce of Courage lit up on his hand. "Now, you shall fall."
A black light surrounded Link. It slowly moved in closer around him and formed into a black armor. The green tunic and hat he wore vanished, and the armor formed over his body. He held his hand forward, and the hilt of a sword appeared in front of him. The hilt was long and slender, reaching out as long as his arm. It ended with a point at the end. As Link moved the hilt back, it formed a long, black blade. The triforce appeared upon it and Link pulled the sword under his arm. Purple crystals formed on the hands of his armor, along with a blue necklace made of small crystals. A long, red cape flowed off his back, and he looked forward.
"Now is the time," Link spoke. He ran forward, jumping into the air. "This ends now!" Link grabbed the hilt of the sword with both his hands and he brought the blade down. Ganondorf quickly pulled his blades up, blocking Link's attack. Zelda could only watch in amazement as to what had just happened.
"Link! Let me help you!" Navi shouted. She flew over as fast as she could.
"Navi, watch over Zelda. See if you can fix the Master Sword," Link spoke. He then jumped into the air once again, and floated in the air. "Ganondorf, bring out your strongest attacks, because my courage will destroy you!" Link shot forward, sword pointing forward. Ganondorf swung one of his blades, and the two blades collided, a loud clash was heard as the two fought to overpower the other.
Navi quickly flew back to Zelda and began flying all around. "What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?"
"Calm down!" Zelda shouted. "All we can do is try to put the Master Sword back together."
"How?" Navi asked.
Zelda looked around, then saw the hilt over by the edge. "Navi, look!" Zelda shouted, pointing. Navi turned, seeing the hilt. "Grab it quick! It's going to fall if you don't!" Navi nodded and quickly flew forward, she could only hope her fairy magic would be strong enough to pull it away.
Link swung his sword, and Ganondorf blocked once again. He pushed off and floated into the air. He rose his sword, and fire came down from the clouds above and swirled around it. "Omega Flame!" he shouted. He pointed his sword forward at Ganondorf, and the fire shot down, aimed directly at him. Ganondorf brought his swords in front of him, fighting to keep the flames from hitting him. The flames kept pushing harder, and soon Ganondorf found himself pushed back, and pushed against the ground. "Surrender now, and give the Triforce to me."
"Never," came the dark, pig-like voice of Ganondorf. "I am Ganon, King of Evil! You will not destroy me!" Ganon swung his sword forward, firing a large beam from his sword. Link outstretched his arm, and a shield appeared out of thin air. He moved it in front of him, and it expanded to cover his entire body. Link fought against the beam, trying to push it back.
Zelda was now starting to get scared. She wanted to run over and help Navi, but the sight of the battle before her had locked her in fear. She was frozen, unable to move a muscle. She could only stand there, panicking, and hoping Link would be okay. "Princess, help me!" Navi shouted, and Zelda's gaze turned away from Link and Ganon.
"Navi!" Zelda shouted. She ran as quickly as she could to Navi and quickly grabbed hold of the hilt of the Master Sword and picked it up. They then ran back, looking over the sword and the hilt. They had to find a way to put it back together. Link continued to fight with all his power and courage. He had to, because all of Hyrule was counting on him.
Link ran forward at Ganon, and his sword glowed. He kicked off the ground, flying up into the air, and over Ganon's head. He brought his sword down, and as he did, it became covered in light. Ganon quickly swung up, striking the blade and knocking it off course. Link flipped in mid-air, then pointed his sword at Ganon. Two small beams shot forward from his sword, and he landed on the ground. The beams struck Ganon, and he roared loudly. "Why you little…" Ganon paused for a growl. "I will destroy you!"
"I don't think so!" Link shouted. He rose his sword above his head, and the ground began to shake. He swung his sword around, striking it into the ground. Vines immediately rose from the ground and wrapped around Ganon's feet. They then wrapped around his arms and his throat and he roared. Ganon pulled hard, tearing the vines right out of the ground. He jumped forward, and Link quickly jumped back, just barely avoiding getting crushed by Ganon's feet.
Link jumped into the air again, aiming his sword at Ganon. Again, beams shot from his sword, but this time, Ganon swung his sword, striking each beam as it came at him. Link pulled his sword back, preparing for an attack. Energy collected into his sword, and he swung the sword forward, firing a large black beam. It split apart, forming several, somewhat transparent, gray beams that all wrapped around Ganon.
Ganon growled and roared again. He pulled and Link pulled on his sword, trying to hold Ganon in the beams. "How is it going, there, Princess?" Link asked.
"I can't do anything!" Zelda shouted. "It's impossible to put it back together! There's just no way!"
"There's a way, there has to be!" At that moment, Ganon broke loose and Link growled.
Ganon laughed some, then rose his hand into the air. He waved his hand around some, and several large beams shot from the ground, forming into Stalfos. They all jumped forward and Link growled. He swung his sword, and a large beam shot forward in an arch shape. It struck several of the Stalfos, but didn't take them all out. Link growled again and jumped over them, swearing under his breath as he did.
"Come on, Navi, there must be something we can do…" Zelda spoke, trying to think.
"I don't know what to do, Princess," Navi spoke. "The Master Sword is shattered. We can't possibly hope to fix it."
"There must be a way, and I'm going to find it." Navi just sighed. Link ran forward at Ganon, his sword readied. He swung, and Ganon swung to block. Link jumped into the air just before the two swords would have collided, and jumped over Ganon's blade, landing directly in front of him. He thrust his hand into Ganon's chest, and Ganon roared as Link's hand glowed a bright yellow. Link then did a back flip, landing on the side of Ganon's sword and kicking off so he went straight for Ganon's face.
Link reached his arm out, striking Ganon in the face with his glowing hands. Ganon roared as he was pushed back, and pushed into the ground. He was out for a moment, but that was all. "Zelda!" Link shouted and ran over to her. He quickly grabbed the hilt of the Master Sword and put it right onto the end of the blade. The sword flashed, and was whole once again. He pulled the Master Sword from the ground and handed it to Zelda.
Zelda blinked, staring at it. "You must wield it for now. Only with both the Triforce of Courage, and the Master Sword, can Ganon be defeated."
"But I'm not the Hero of Time!" Zelda shouted. "You are! You have to wield the Master Sword!"
"No, the Master Sword only needed to be drawn by the Hero of Time. It is now your turn to hold the sword, for a time, that is."
Zelda sighed and nodded. "All right, if it will accept me." She grabbed the Master Sword and rose it above her head. "Let's do this!" The two ran into the battle as Ganon began to stand once again. Zelda held the Master Sword tight, hoping the sword wouldn't break again.
"Do not use the Master Sword to defend yourself," Link spoke. "Ganon holds so much evil within him, that the sword will break again when it tries to repel the evil."
"Wait…if I can't hit Ganon's sword with the Master Sword, then what do I do?" Zelda asked.
Link handed Zelda the Mirror Shield he had gotten from the Spirit Temple. "This is for anytime you must defend yourself. Otherwise, I'll be distracting his swords. Use Navi to find his weakness, then attack it. It's the only way."
"Right," Zelda nodded and strapped the shield to her arm. She sighed. She wasn't ready, but she knew she had no time to get ready, either. So, she entered the battle, as ready as she could ever hope to be.
Link rushed forward, his sword behind him. He pushed himself off the ground and into the air. He brought his sword down with a scream and Ganon quickly formed and "X" with his swords and blocked the attack. Navi quickly flew forward, circling Ganon as fast as possible, yet still going slow enough she could get a good look at him.
Link pushed himself off of Ganon's swords, and floated into the air. He rose his sword, and fire came down from the clouds above and swirled around it. "Omega Flame!" he shouted. He pointed his sword forward at Ganon, and the fire shot down, aimed directly at him. Ganon once again brought his swords in front of him, fighting to keep the flames from hitting him. The flames kept pushing harder, and soon Ganon found himself pushed back again, and pushed against the ground. "There is no hope to stop my Omega Flame, Ganon."
"Oh, there isn't, huh?" Ganon laughed. "You simple minded fool!" He snapped his hands and vanished, appearing over Link. Link looked up as Ganon came down, swords forward. Link crouched down a little, then pushed off with his legs. He shot forward, and into the air. He aimed his sword forward, and it struck Ganon right in the side of the face, making him roar. The cut on his face seemed to heal up immediately, but Ganon was still sent slamming into the ground. He then slowly stood to his feet, ready to continue battle.
Link came down, his sword forward now. Ganon looked up and roared, putting his swords together, and blocking the attack. Link quickly pushed off, landing on the ground. Come on, Navi, find his weakness, Link thought. We can't kill him unless Zelda knows where to attack!
"Zelda!" Navi suddenly shouted. Ganon turned his eyes to the fairy, and Link growled.
"You're fight is with me!" Link shouted as he ran forward. He jumped into the air once more and brought his sword down, striking Ganon in the arm. He roared, but, just like what happened with his face, the cut healed almost instantly. Ganon turned his eyes to Link now, and he swung his sword forward. Link blocked it with his sword, and Ganon quickly swung the other. Zelda ran towards the sword, blocking it with the Mirror Shield.
"Zelda!" Navi shouted again, quickly flying over to her. "Zelda," Navi began in a whisper now, "his weakness is his tail. Link has to distract Ganon, and you have to get behind and hit his tail. If you do that, then, as long as the tail hasn't grown back, Ganon will be vulnerable." Zelda nodded. Navi quickly flew to Link and whispered the same thing to him, and he nodded.
Link shot off the ground once again, bringing his sword down. Swords collided once again, and Zelda quickly ran behind Ganon. Zelda brought the Master Sword down on Ganon's tail, slicing it off. Ganon gave a loud roar of pain as he felt his tail struck by the sword. Link pushed off of Ganon's swords, then, as he landed, he quickly spun around, striking Ganon's leg. He roared, and the wound didn't heal. However, the tail was beginning to slowly grow back.
Link shot into the air again, and Ganon turned around to look at Zelda. He growled and rose a sword above his head. "I don't think so!" Link shouted. He rose his sword, and fire came down from the clouds above and swirled around it. "Omega Flame!" he shouted. He pointed his sword forward at Ganon, and the fire shot down, aimed directly at him. This time, the attack struck Ganon in the bank, and he roared in pain. He roared again as he felt his tail grow back.
Link landed on the ground, then jumped again. He flipped over Ganon's head, landing on the pig's nose. Ganon growled and Zelda quickly ran around. With another swing, Zelda once again cut off the pig's tail. He roared loudly, and Link pushed off his nose, tossing his sword down. It struck Ganon in the chest, and he roared. He fell forward, collapsing to the ground.
Link landed on the ground, and looked to Zelda. "Zelda!" he shouted. "Quickly! Use a barrier and hold him! Call the sages! We have to end this now, or it'll be too late!" Zelda nodded. She tossed the Master Sword to Link, who grabbed it as it flew right at him.
"Six sages! It is time!" Zelda shouted. She rose her hands into the air. She brought them down, and a golden barrier surrounded Ganon. He roared and moved around, trying to break free. The Master Sword glowed as the power of the Hero of Time surged into it. Link ran forward, stabbing the sword right into the pig's nose.
Meanwhile, in the Chamber of Sages, the six sages stood around the chamber, ready to do what they had to. "It is time. Ancient sages who protect the six temples, it is time to open the gateway to the Sacred Realm, and hold the beast within forever." They all clapped their hands together, then rose their hands above their heads. They glowed and turned into light, launching off, and into a large, black portal that had opened before them.
Above Ganon, another black portal opened, and the six sages shot through it. They surrounded Ganon, and with their powers they pushed him through the portal. He roared as he changed back into his human form. He found himself floating as he fell through the portal. "Curse you, Sages!" Ganondorf shouted. "Curse you, Zelda!" His eyes flashed with a blood red glow. "Most of all, curse you, Link! I promise you. I will return and have revenge on your descendants! This I swear! As long as the Triforce of Power is within my hand, I shall return!"
The gate closed after that, and Ganondorf found himself pulled into the Dark Realm. He watched as a large pyramid was formed around him, and then, he found himself pulled onto a table. He saw four chains wrap around his arms and legs. One was green, one was red, one was blue, and one was purple. A brown one wrapped itself around his throat, then, a yellow light pushed him out of his body, then formed a barrier over it to keep Ganondorf's spirit out. Lastly, a barrier covered the pyramid, which would keep Ganondorf from ever leaving, should he ever be allowed re-entry to his own body.
Ganondorf sighed and looked around. "So, then, I'm trapped in this place for an eternity?" He laughed. "I'll get free, and have my revenge on their descendants."
Meanwhile, back in Hyrule, Zelda and Link had made it off the small island, and were standing in the Hyrule Plain. "It's finally over now," Zelda spoke as she looked to the sky. The dark clouds in the sky were slowly separating, leaving a beautiful, blue sky, a site the Hylians had not seen for over seven years. "Thank you, Link. Ganondorf is now sealed in the Dark World, and he shall be left there for eternity."
"Now we can rebuild Hyrule, and I'll help," Link said, smiling. He placed his arm around Zelda, who frowned and looked down. "What's wrong?"
"Now that Hyrule is returning to peace, it is time for you to leave. You must go back, back to the way you were before all this happened. Back to your original age and form, and no longer be the Hero of Time." Link's eyes went wide. "I was foolish, seven years ago. I tried to control the Sacred Realm, and the Triforce. In the end, it ended up pulling you in, and all this happened."
"Zelda, I didn't help because I got ensnared by anything. I joined to help you and Hyrule. I fought for Hyrule, not because all the bad had happened. I wanted to save you, and everyone!" Link grabbed Zelda's shoulders and turned her to look at him. "I helped you, because…because…" Link pulled Zelda closer and kissed her on the lips. Zelda's eyes went wide with surprise at this. He slowly pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Zelda, when I was a kid, I was in love with Saria, the Forest Sage. When I met you, I didn't realize it, but I had fallen in love with you."
Link reached down and grabbed Zelda's hands. "Up until I fought Ganon, I thought I still loved her. I do still love her, dearly, but now, I don't know why, but I feel like I need you. I feel…like I love you." Zelda blushed and turned her head. Link turned her head back, and the two embraced each other in a hug, and their lips met, locking into a kiss.
After a moment, they slowly broke the kiss, and looked at each other. "Link, I love you, too, but you must still go back." She placed her hand on her chest. "I am the seventh sage, thus I must lay the Master Sword to rest. Listen to me in what I say, though. In a vision, just before we met up again, I saw what would happen in the next several hundred years."
"What did you see?" Link asked.
"Three gems, surrounding the Master Sword. Men, wearing the gems, pulling the Master Sword from a pedestal deep in the Lost Woods. Man after man, each became the leader of the Hylian knights. Then, a boy, sleeping in bed. He was awoken, and he ran off. He fought three beasts, and got the gems from them. He took the Master Sword, and battled an ancient evil. Then, I saw him, through a large wall of fire. Ganon had come back, and only the boy could save Hyrule once again. That was all I saw, though."
"Well, don't worry about it. In time, what you saw may or may not come to pass. It is not our time to worry about it."
Zelda nodded. "Now, you must return. I will govern Hyrule, as my father did before me. Hyrule is at peace for now. I shall return you back, then, when I lay down the Master Sword to rest, the doorway through time shall be closed. You, Link, must leave it closed. Do not reopen it, or the world, and all we have done, will become non-existent."
Link sighed and nodded. "Give me the Ocarina of Time, with it, you will be returned back." Link nodded and gave Zelda the Ocarina. "Now, Link, go back. Go back and regain your seven years." Zelda began to play the Ocarina, and Link felt himself lifted. "Good-bye." Link disappeared, finding himself awakening in front of the Master Sword.
Link was now, once again, seven years younger. Link looked around for a moment. Navi turned and flew off, quickly, before Link could see her go. "Link, good-bye," she whispered, just before she flew off. Link walked forward, smiling.
"Seven years, huh? Well, I guess I just have to wait for those years to pass, then, I'll ride up to her, once I've saved the world and returned back. Then, we can continue as if I never left." He smiled and ran forward. "I wonder if I was returned before or after Zelda and I met."
It took him but a single moment to get out of the temple, and into the Hyrule Market. Nothing had changed. He quickly ducked out of sight, though, when he saw a wagon coming in. He saw somebody hop off the back and he smirked some. "So, that's when I came back. I should be meeting the princess anytime now." He watched as events unfolded before him.
Link watched himself with Zelda, and he smiled. "I really had no idea who I was with all that time." After it became dark, Link quickly made his way to the castle. Using some of the things he had learned before, he made his way through the courtyard, and to the garden at the end. There he waited for Zelda to come the next day. When she arrived, Link explained everything. Zelda nodded, knowing what she had to do. He then, quickly, hid, as he watched himself enter the garden. Link tried his hardest not to laugh at Navi and the whole "ghost" thing she did.
After he watched himself leave, Link quickly followed behind. He snatched a dragon from the Gorons, and also tried his best to convince the Gorons that the ruby was a rock they wanted to eat. This drove Darunia into his chamber, and Link nodded. He quickly took the dragon and caged it. Then ran to Hyrule Market, changing on his way into a black tunic, and pulling a mask over his face. Link then sold the caged dragon for a simple two rupees. "Sell this lizard for seventy rupees, nothing more," he told the shopkeeper. "If you do, I know someone who will buy it from you. He'll be coming in a day. Take no offers until you see a kid that has blonde hair and a green tunic. He'll buy it."
"Why should I sell it to him?" the shopkeeper asked. "Why don't you?"
"Because, you own him, not me." Link then ran off. He then ran into the Kokiri Forest and stirred up some trouble by telling everyone they were cursed, and then giving Mido a scroll that would teach him how to turn the Kokiri into Wolfos. He told him everything, including the battle he would have to fight. However, he didn't tell Mido who would win.
He then rushed off to cause more trouble, and even met with Ganondorf himself, and persuaded him to go after the Ocarina of Time. A couple days later, Ganondorf did, and everything went exactly as it was supposed to. After that, Link led Ganondorf to the Triforce, and told Ganondorf of the barrier that protected the past Link's body. Ganondorf took the Triforce, and Link smirked. He now had to wait seven years before the rest would occur on its own, or so he thought.
Little did Link know, he was the cause of most of the problems that would occur seven years later. Link then joined up with Ganondorf, going under the name of "The Seer". Link brought forth all that needed to happen. After seven years, Link had helped bring about what needed to come forth to bring Ganondorf to his knees, and, after seven years, everything went exactly as it was supposed to.
Three nights after Ganondorf's defeat, a great party was held. Everyone from Hyrule gather together, and a fire was made in the center. The sages used their powers to change the color of the fire, and gave it the six colors which were on the medallions of the Sages. That night, Link rode up to Zelda, and from that night on, Link and Zelda held a life together. That was the end of the Legend of the Ocarina of Time, for shortly after, the ocarina was destroyed.
However, as the years passed, things in Hyrule changed, and the Legend of the Ocarina of Time became nothing more then folktales. Ganon was used now, as a name to scare children. For the tale now spoke that Ganon would come and harm you if you did not obey your parents. This was what it was, until, a great, golden power came from Death Mountain. Zelda's vision had become a prophecy, and that prophecy was soon to be fulfilled in what Hylian history calls "The Link to the Past."
A/N: Yeap, I'm writing the sequel now "Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" Anyone who knows the game, and my stories will probably love it. I know, according to some people ALttP isn't a sequel to OoT...or rather...OoT isn't a prequel to ALttP...but if you look at the games just right, you'll more then likely see that the games go together (or at least I think so). Therefore, I bring the games together. That's it! R&R now, cause you'll get no more chapters to do so.
