Clash of Time and Wind

Chapter 20: The Clash of Time and Wind

"Leave me alone, and give me the Triforce back!" Link demanded.

The figure approached him calmly. "I am the true wielder, I cannot!"

"You aren't, the true one is dead!" Link said. "I am the chosen one to have it, you don't understand."

"I understand everything perfectly well," the figure said. "But he is not dead. He is alive. I am the TRUE wielder of the Triforce of Courage!"

Link gasped as the figure pulled back his hood. There stood a boy his own height. The boy, like Link, wore green and a collection of weapons in his green shirt. However, the boy looked sad. For anything he might've appeared to Link, he looked miserable.

"Y-You're the Hero of Time," Link stuttered. "You're the original Hero, I thought you were dead!"

"The Triforce is mine, I belong to it," the boy said in a voice similar to Link's. "I need it!"

Link didn't answer.

"You don't understand, it belongs to me," the boy said tearfully. "I went through dangerous perils to get it!"

"I went through terrible perils to get this as well," Link said defensively.

"All you had to do was fish in the sea, at the spot you knew a fragment would be!" the boy yelled. "I fought long and hard, just to lose everything with this fragment left!"

"If you just told me"-

"I can't trust you!" the boy yelled. "I don't know you. I don't trust you therefore. Think about it!"

"I can't lay off the world though," Link said.

"You have to, because what is to become of this world is what Ganondorf wanted, yet for a batter cause!" the boy said, wiping his tears. "I want Hyrule back! With Hyrule back, the people of Hyrule will reawaken! They'll return from eternal slumber and awaken. I want my friends back. The Kokiri, Zora's, Hylians."

"What, no this is the land of the Great Sea," Link said, shocked. "If you're going to use this Triforce to drain the sea, I won't let you!"

"I'll have to do it then!" the boy said, raising his sword. "There's no way I'm letting my home land sink for good. It's meant to come back!"

They clashed swords.

"The Great Sea belongs to everyone," Link said, breathlessly fighting the sword wrestle.

"Oh… no… it does not," the boy replied. He broke away and sent another slash.

Link strafed to the side and did a low swipe.

The boy did a low block and threw a punch at Link, who went flying back in pain. "A weakling, this is what the Great Sea looks to? Nothing like I used to be!"

"Hah, the war is won, and I didn't have to lift a finger!" Ganondorf said triumphantly, watching them fight through a small pool of water. I love the way this is going!"

"But, both heroes are back!" Aghanhim protested.

"Ah, my friend, they might be back, but they're wasting time on each other to pay the slightest attention to me!" Ganondorf said happily. "They don't even know of my return! None do! They are oblivious to the fact, as is the rest of the Sea. Hyrule will return, but in my favor. It's all over!"
