Chapter 3
The Hero Is Discovered
Link smiled. Master Sword in one hand, Mirror Shield in the other, he was currently training. Against whom? Well...No one. He hadn't gotten as good as he had by seeking out fights. Only fools did that. He practiced technique and aim against various dummies. As a result, he had set up an area within the Forest where he kept various training mechinisms. Rolling, he dodged an imaginary slash, and drawing his bow he fired at two large pots, shattering them both with unerring accuracy.
He dropped the bow and spun with the master sword, stopping just at the right time. The blonde woman with the sword to the side of her neck winced, but knew she wouldn't have; Link was always jumpy during training.
"Hey Zelda."
"Hi Link. Training hard, I see."
Link chortled. "Always do. You never know when Ganondorf will be back, y'know?"
Zelda smiled pityingly at Link, sitting on a tree log. "Link...We defeated him. You defeated him. He's gone. For good."
Link shrugged, sitting beside her. "I don't know...I just get a feeling he'll be back. Occasionally, does youre part of the Triforce glow?"
Zelda nodded with a frown. "I wondered if it was just me, but apparently not. This morning, it was positively shining, like it used to, when more than one piece were in the same area."
They both looked at thier right hands, at the triforce pieces permanently indented there. The Triforce of Courage and Wisdom had grown accustomed to each other, so neither were glowing, save for a dull radiance from Navi above. Navi flittered around thier heads. 'Start training, Link!' she demanded. Link chortled.
"Navi's been jumpy." He told Zelda. "Y'know, ever since a few weeks ago, she seems to constantly think something bad's about to happen...And if she knows something, she's not letting anything on!" He added, and rose, drawing his weapons once more.
