Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Heroes

Chapter 19: Heroes

Everyone then heard a loud yell.

Two loud yells in fact.

From above.

Everyone looked up to see what it was.

Everyone, that is, except for Ganon. He was so arrogant in his victory, that he didn't notice the two girls holding the Master sword in each others hands as they fell downwards.

It was Zelda and Aryll.

Zelda, "Link! Catch!"

The sword was thrown downwards. Link barely managed to catch it as it slipped into his grasp, and with that, he found his opportunity to strike the confused Demon King.

And with one dive forward, with the Master sword in hand, right as Ganon's own hand was about to strike down Malon down, everything went still, and silent.

And everyone looked on as Link held onto the sword, while it was embedded into Ganon's forehead.

As he tried to comprehend what was happening, he said but a single sentence.

"W-what have y-you done?"

Link, "I won."

Ganon collapsed to his side, lifeless.

The girls almost hit the ground, but we're lucky enough to land Chukos arms as he only narrowly caught them.

Everyone stood in silence.

Link could hardly believe what had happened.

It took him a moment to regain his senses, and run over to the girls being lowered down by Chuko.

Link hugged his little sister tightly and said, "what the Hell were you two thinking?"

Zelda, "I felt as though something was off. So, we ran back into the castle, and saw Ganon about to strike you and Malon down."

Aryll, "then we saw the sword."

Zelda, "so we grabbed it."

Aryll, "and threw it to you!"

Link, "that was still dange-"

"NOOOOOO!"

Everyone turned to see an enraged Ghirahim throw Jo-Ann and Erma to the ground.

A dark aura glowed around him.

Ghirahim, "you killed my master! You will not live to see tomorrow you bastards!"

He threw his arms into the air, and the fortress began to shake.

Malon, "he's making the place collapse!"

Erma, "let's get the Hell out of here!"

Link grabbed the sword from Ganon's carcass, and then grabbed Malon and Arylls hands.

Navi flew right after them, with Flynn close behind.

Chuko ran with Shin and Skull scooped up into his arms, with Jo-Ann running beside him. Zelda ran ahead of everyone.

Zelda, "this way! I see the doorway!"

The place began to crumble away, as the heroes barely managed to avoid the falling rubble.

Everyone literally launched themselves out of the doorway just as the castle completely crashed into nothing but rubble.

Everyone laid on the ground, breathing heavily as they did so.

Link the most.

He lay on his back with Malon and Aryll on either side of him. He then looked up as he felt something lick his forehead.

It was Epona. With Flynn right beside her.

Malon, "she, gasp, is one, gasp, faithful horse!"

Aryll, "you could say that again!"

Malon, "she, gasp, is one, gasp, faithful horse!"

Despite their heavy breathing, everyone chuckled at Malon's joke.

Everyone rested for about half an hour. They all needed. It was hard for all of them to believe that after such a long journey, their quest was over.

They had done it.

They'd killed Ganon.

They'd saved Zelda.

They'd saved Aryll.

They'd saved Hyrule.

To put it mildly, they saved the day!

And it seems like everything after that went smoothly….

Weeks later….

Hyrule was in celebration for weeks.

The Demon King was dead, thanks to the brave heroes who put their lives on the line for their kingdom.

Zelda was returned to Hyrule castle with Impa now back at full health.

Link, Malon and Aryll returned to Flint with Epona and Flynn. Flint was proud of what his son and his future daughter in-law had accomplished. He was especially relieved to have his daughter back in his arms once more.

Lady Nabooru was given a fair amount of rupees for their help.

And as for the friends Link had made, they were given a very high honor.

Link, Malon, Skull, Shin, Jo-Ann and Chuko were made knights.

But not JUST knights! They were made the king and princess' personal royal guard. Shin and Skull needed training, but they were already on their way to becoming fierce warriors.

Navi had to leave though. She needed to return to her home in Kokiri Forest, and the Great Deku Tree. She promised she'd stay in touch though. She cared about her new friends.

After all they'd been through, she considered them family.

All of Ganon's forces had fled. They now hid in the darkest corners of Hyrule, afraid of the group that had defeated their master.

And now, we bring you to all those weeks later, on a very special day for two special people.

Link and Malon's wedding day.

It was on this day, we find Malon inside of Lon Lon ranch. She was dressed in a beautiful white dress that hugged her curves, as well as the small bulge her stomach now had, what with being ahead a few months in her pregnancy.

She was with her father inside, stealing her nerves for the ceremony. It was planned out a long while ago, soon after they'd completed their quest.

Zelda had offered to do the ceremony. Malon's brides maids were Jo-Ann, Impa and Erma. Navi came to visit the ceremony.

Links little group was Flint, Skull, and Chuko. The wedding was going to be held at the ranch, with the whole village being invited. Aryll offered to be the flower girl. Shin was tricked into being the ring bearer.

Malon was nervous. Her big day was here, and she was nervous on how it would turn out.

Her father put his hand on her shoulder.

Talon, "you alright darlin'?"

Malon, "just, a little nervous."

Talon, "heh! Same as yer mother. And I'll bet ya that Link is feeling the same way I did."

Malon, "how'd you feel?"

Talon, "surprised."

Malon, "what?"

Talon, "surprised that such a beautiful woman said yes. Surprised that I managed to have friends and family that cared for me so much. And surprised that I was gonna have a child!"

Malon, "... you'd think after the whole, 'defeating the Demon Lord' thing, that we'd be less worried!"

Talon, "It's the little things that'll scare ya."

Malon couldn't help but smile at her father's kind words.

Talon, "ya ready hon'?"

Malon, "yes. Ready as I'll ever be."

Talon and Malon put their arms together, and exited the ranch. As soon as they exited, Ingo, Talons employee was playing, "here comes the bride", on a piano. No one bothered to question how the Hell Ingo got a piano, nor how he got it out, nor on how he could play. And play well for that matter!

Malon couldn't help but smile as she saw Link. He was dressed in a fine suit, and had managed to see together a black variant of his signature cap.

They had somehow managed to get Skull in a suit! Supposedly, Erma used magic to get him in it. He would take off his hat though! Flint wore a suit similar to Link's. And Chuko, well, he wore a tie, which is the only thing that would fit him.

Impa wore a dark blue dress, which complimented her blood red eyes. Ermas dress was a dark purple, with her hat being held in her hands. Jo-Ann was in a dark orange dress that matched her hair.

Zelda was situated in the middle, wearing a fancy royal dress for the occasion.

Various sets were set up, filled with the people of Kakariko Village.

Malon made her way down the aisle, with her father smiling beside her. Aryll followed behind, throwing flowers behind her. She couldn't help but cry tears of joy as she finally stood in front of Link, with Talon making his way to stand near Flint. Aryll made her way to stand by Shin, who was close to Zelda and Link with the rings.

Even Epona and Flynn were there, at the back of the guests standing next to each other.

Flynn, (glad to see this happen).

Epona, (you could say that again).

Only Erma could understand them.

Zelda then began to speak.

"Dearly beloved, we all gather here on this beautiful day, in the presence of the Goddess Hylia, to join this man, and this woman in Holy Matrimony. You both may now exchange vows."

Link started, "Malon, the day I met you, I knew you were the one. You've been there by my side since I came here. And in all that time, my love only grew by the minute. When I, well, accidentally, popped the question, that was one mistake I will never regret making. I love you Malon, more than I could see express."

Everyone clapped for Link for a few moments, and then let Malon speak.

Malon, "Link, I won't lie when I say I feel like the happiest girl in the world. To know that the man I love feels the same way about me is a dream come true. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us, and the family I'm proud to be a part of with you. I love you Link, and I can't express it enough."

Zelda smiled as everyone clapped for Malon.

Zelda, "than by the power bestowed upon me, the rings please?"

Shin held out the pillow with two rings on it.

Link picked up the two rings. He slid one on Malon's finger, as she slid one on his.

Zelda, "I now pronounce Malon and Link, husband and wife! Congratulations, you may now kiss the-"

Malon pulled Link into a kiss.

Zelda, "-groom."

Everyone cheered as Link and Malon held the kiss for a few more seconds.

Once they finished, the two if them walked down the aisle together as everyone clapped for them even harder. Link and Malon jumped on Epona, and began to ride off towards the fields of the ranch. Malon threw the bookay. Aryll managed to catch the flowers, and then began to look at Shin. He could only laugh nervously as she smiled at him.

Everyone knew the two of them wanted some alone time. Everyone began to walk into the ranch, eager to converse and celebrate.

As this happened, Link and Malon's groups stood at the edge if the ranch, watching the couple ride around with Link following them.

Chuko, "sigh, they make a wonderful couple."

Jo-Ann rested her head on Chukos shoulder, "they ain't the only one."

Erma and Navi laughed as Aryll climbed atop Flynn and began to chase Shin around. Skull stood beside Talon, Flint and Impa, with Zelda soon walking beside them.

Flint, "let's just hope my boy doesn't screw up."

Talon, "funny, I was gonna say the same thing about my daughter!"

The two father's laughed hard as Skull joined in.

Zelda only looked out at the couple riding happily together.

Navi rested up in her shoulder.

She said, "now that's what I call a happily ever after."

Zelda, "I couldn't agree with you more."

The End.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed the story. I did my best, and hope to write way more in the future. And with that said, I once again wish you all a good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night.
