Chapter 15

The Final Confrontation

Link climbed the stairs to the turret defeating every Archfiend that approached. He only had one thing in mind, defeating Ganondorf. As he neared the top he felt a strange evil. He also heard a loud echoing voice saying.

"HA HA HA! Today is the day we return to the real world, for we have captured Zelda the descendent of the sorcerer who imprisoned us here." said the voice.

"Oh no! They've got Zelda" Link thought to himself.

He took the last step and busted through the door ready to face whatever came at him.

"HA HA! So we meet at last Link, the so called hero of legend." said Ganondorf as he revealed himself. He was at least 6' 7" tall and extremely well built. His skin was dark and his red hair almost looked like flames. It was apparent that he was from the Gerudo tribe. He was clad in dark brown armor and had a black cape. He drew his sword, the blade was a deep red and the handle was black.

"I am Ganondorf the most powerful being in the Golden World and soon in the real world!" he shouted.

"Not if I can help it! I'll take you down!" Link shouted back.

"Then let us begin the battle of ages!" Ganondorf yelled. A thunderstorm started as if all nature knew it was going to happen. Link and Ganondorf lunged at each other and hit at the same time. Ganondorf was much stronger that Link though and the blow sent Link flying back. Link lunged again this time he attacked vertically and made Ganondorf lose his footing. Link quickly followed up with a horizontal slice. A red bloody gash appeared in his face.

"Ahh! That's the first time anyone has ever hit me. You'll pay for that!" Ganondorf said. He attacked again, but Link's mighty sword was able to deflect the blow. Link attacked again, but Ganondorf knocked Link off balance and sliced Link across the chest. He clenched his chest in pain and cursed under his breath.

"Ahh! He's too strong, even with the Master Sword I can't get another attack in!" Link thought to himself.

"HA HA! I guess the hero of legend was destined to fall." Ganondorf laughed. He came crashing down on Link with attack after attack, but Link blocked every one. Finally Link saw an opportunity to strike. Link dug his sword into Ganondorf's leg.

"RAAA! This is becoming annoying!" he boomed. With that he jumped back and cast a quick spell. He began to shoot balls of dark energy at Link. Link sliced at them, but they split into smaller ones and flew into him.

"ERR! That burns!" Link screamed. Then Ganondorf charged energy into his fist and punched Link as hard as he could. When he hit the energy exploded blasting Link away.

"I have the Triforce, you'll never beat me!" shouted Link.

"Hero! Do you think you're the only one who knows about the Triforce. In fact I know almost everything about it. I was the one who plundered it ages ago and turned the Golden World into this wretched Dark World!" he explained. "Now that it is back in the Dark World I can call upon its almighty powers HA HA!"

Suddenly the ground began to shake and Ganondorf began to change forms. When Link looked again Ganondorf had turned into a horrible monster. It looked like a wild boar on steroids with a giant trident in its hand. Link immediately tried attacking the creature with strike after strike, but nothing seemed to be working.

"RAA! ThEr'S nO WaY YoU cAn WiN!" Ganon shouted. It

picked him up and threw him toward the edge. Then it slammed Link with its tail, breaking a couple of ribs. Link staggered to his feet and attacked, again nothing happened. Ganon delivered another devastating blow sending Link sprawling on the floor in pain. He blacked out, and heard Zelda speaking to him in his thoughts.

"Link I'm on the tower to the side of you, from here I can try to hit Ganon with my light arrows. It's your only chance."

Link was revived by the shock of dark energy coursing through his body. Ganon had stabbed Link in the side with his trident. Then suddenly a beam of light hit Ganon. He soon realized that he couldn't move. Link came down on him with all his strength. The blow seemed to hurt the demonic creature more than the others. His shoulder had a deep gash that almost severed his arm. It ran far away and circled around the turret. Occasionally it would shoot a blast of dark energy from his trident at Link. Link dodged and sliced almost all of them, but a couple blasted him with what felt like a burning cold electricity. Finally after a while Ganon came back to the center of the turret.

Link began to attack again, but none of the strikes hurt the creature. Ganon began pounding Link with its tail this time breaking some vertebrate and even Link's left arm. Once it got Link in it's huge jaws and almost swallowed Link. Then another arrow hit Ganon. Link used the opportunity to deliver a devastating stab in he chest. Then Link used all his strength and struck slicing off his head. The creature collapsed and transformed back into Ganondorf.

"See, I told you that you wouldn't win." Link said.

"That's impossible! There's no way some kid can defeat me." Ganondorf yelled. Link ran to the highest spot on the turret they were on. Then he jumped and plunged his almighty blade into Ganondorf's heart.

"RAAAA! I was so clo…" he said as he fell dead.
