Chapter 5
Triforce of Wisdom
As Link entered the doorway he came upon a stone room. Just then the doorway collapsed locking Zelda out of the room. The floor had fiery cracks in it. All of a sudden a ferocious creature barged through the back wall. It seemed to be made from flames itself. It was about 15 feet tall and muscles bulged from everywhere. As it roared flames erupted from its mouth engulfing the creature in flames. It's red skin and black almost lifeless eyes seemed to pierce Link's very soul. It's two horns made it look like something we all know about (the devil).
So Link had to find this massive creature's weak point. He dodged the ferocious assaults of the rabid beast. Link thought he'd just go for it so he slashed at the creature's midsection. The creature roared in pain. The creature lunged at Link, luckily Link was faster than the creature. It plunged headfirst into a pillar that was holding up the room. When this happened one of the chunks fell to the creatures arm. ROAR! Flames spewed everywhere. Link took this advantage of the time to attack he plunged his sword into the beasts leg. The creature swung his massive fist, sending Link rolling onto the floor. Link could taste the blood gushing from his broken nose. The creature grabbed and threw him into a wall on the opposite side of the room. Link heard a loud crack and intense pain shot up his right leg. About to make his final strike the creature reared up. Then it roared as it ran out to the other side of the room. Water from an oasis on the surface had started pouring in.
" That's it! I'll get it to destroy more of the pillars and try to flood the place." Link thought to himself. As he tried to stand he buckled as a surge of pain coursed through his leg. The creature took advantage of the opportunity and kicked Link in the stomach with all his strength. The nails at the end of its three toes easily found their way through Link's thin mail and dug into his stomach. Not pressing his luck the creature backed away. Link slowly revived and slowly limped and hid behind one of the other 3 pillars. Trying to stop the bleeding Link clenched his stomach. The creature, not being too smart, just crashed through the pillar. More water started flowing in sending the beast away again. Link noticed his sword started to glow very bright. Link sliced at its waist again, making a huge bloody gash that almost cut the creature in two. This sent the creature staggering against a wall. Link ran up to it and cut off its leg. Then Link drew the creature to the last pillar he'd need to break. The creature used all its remaining energy to take one last swipe. The pillar came tumbling down and buried the creature under it. Link could still see the creatures head moving. Then the water came down and poured out on the creature. It stopped steaming and its eyes closed, it was dead.
Then the far wall crumbled apart revealing a door. Link went in and found a triangle pendent with inscriptions around and on it. The ones on the wall behind it read, 'This is the Pendent of Wisdom, the first piece of the Triforce.' The inscriptions read in a strange ancient language that Link couldn't translate. As Link reached out for it something strange happened. A blinding light caught hold of him and as he looked down at himself his wounds began to heal. Black and white images suddenly started flashing in his head. In one he was standing by the docks. Another was of him fighting an amphibian-like creature.
The next was of him and Zelda getting separated. The last that he can remember was of him seeing the second piece of the Triforce. Suddenly him and Zelda were magically transported back to the entrance of the temple.
"Hey, Link what happened?" asked Zelda.
"I did it, I won the first piece of the triforce!" Link told her.
"That's great, now can we get out of here before we fry?" asked Zelda mockingly
