It was a typical day for Link, he was finally allowed to walk to school alone. As long as if he was with Knope and Poe. They just reached the newly built school house. When Crash came up and put his arms around Poe and Link.

"Hey bros, I have decided that we are having a guys day."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Asked Poe.

"We're skipping school, what do you want to do?" Crash said.

"Lake!" Link said excitedly.

The three boys ran off to the lake to start the fabulous 'Guys Day' The fished and threw bomb that Link found into the lake. Then they went to Hyrule Castle Town. There they found a lady with a pot. Link was about to throw it when she stopped him.

"Little boy! Why are you trying to smash my pot?"

"Gotta, treasure." Link replied.

"Sweetie, all you have to do is reach inside and take what's inside." She said as she reached into the pot and pulled out a heart.

All the boys shrieked with terror.

"Witch! Witch!" Link screamed.

Crash and Poe began crying and begging her not to curse them. The towns folk gathered around at such a commotion. There were murmurs in the crowed saying she was a witch. Someone said that she cursed their dog. Then they began accusing her of turning Link mute. And they soon turned into an angry mob demanding that she be burned. Just then two guards showed up and carried her off.

"Now, good citizens of Hyrule. We owe her a fair trial. Do any of you know that she is a witch." Proclaimed a guard.

"She turned me into a newt!" One man shouted out.

"A newt?"

"Well, I got better. Burn her anyway."

"BURN THE WITCH!" Yelled the angry mob.

The guards drug her to Hyrule court. Where the Captain of the Guard took over. The mob settled down. Well, sort of. They were an angry mob after all. The guard called the three boys to the stand. Then a woman stood up and shouted.

"Link can barely speak. The witch cursed him." The angry mob yelled in agreement.

"Alright then, Crash and Poe. Can you boys tell me what happened?"

"Well, sir." Poe began. "We were playing here in castle town when we saw a pot. And as we all know, the only way to unlock treasures inside pots is to smash them." The room nodded in agreement. "Well... she...she reached inside the pot... and... pulled out a heart." Crash added accusingly.

The mob got angrier and started to riot. They demanded that the lady was burned for her crimes. But the judge heard enough. He said the lady was guilty on all charges of witchcraft. She was to be burned. The crowed drug her out to the town square to burn her. Link, Crash, and Poe began to run after them. when the captain stopped them.

"Why aren't you boy in school?" He questioned.

"Isn't it obvious?" Crash said.

"Playing hooky." The guard confirmed.

"What? Hooky? No, never." Crash said with fake shock. "It's a sacred Goron holiday. i'm teaching my friends about it."

"Oh? What is this holiday called?"

"It's a day of remembrance for one of our founding fathers and great warriors Darmani the First. He led or people to the aves in death mountain and defeated and the King of the Dodongos. And gave our people a place to live. Then he went and settled another colony near Termina. It's called Darmani Day." Crash smiled with pride with the great lie he concocted. Oh Darmani was a real warrior in Termina. But there was no great Darmani the First. And the real Darmani has never been to Hyrule.

"Is this true boys?" The guard said skeptically.

Both boys nodded. The guard believed them at let them go. Tthen the three ran to see the burning. On the way Crash explained the lie he told to get them out of three made it the town square. Everything was set up for the burning when Link spotted Ganon.

"Hide." Link said to his friends. The boys quickly took cover behind a fruit stand in the market. He could not get caught playing hooky. He should have know he would be there. His father would have never missed a witch burning. They still had a good view from their hiding spots. The watched the burning and then felt guilty.

"Guys. What if she wasn't a witch. And we killed an innocent woman?" Poe asked.

Link stopped and thought about how he was the first to accuse her. Tears began forming in his littles eyes when suddenly they heard a scream. They turned their attention to the burnings and heard more screaming.

"You may have killed me, but I will still get my revenge from beyond the grave! Hahahaha" The voice cackled. "I really was a witch! And I did curse that little Hero of Time by making him mute!" She screeched.

Link's eyes widened. He was right to scream witch. His friends stared at him. They couldn't believe he was the fabled Hero of Time. Ganon soon left and the boys went back to the school to meet Knope and walk home with her. Luckily Honey and Darling believed that witch burning were no place for children. Then Mr. Darling caught the boys.

"Boys, please come to my office." Dang they were caught. They all walked to his office sadly. "You boys missed school. And I heard there was a witch burning. I hope you were in no way involved in it. Witch burning are barbaric and should be stopped. They are absolutely no place for a child to go. I'm sending each of you a note home to be signed. By your parents. Bring them back tomorrow. You boys will also serve a weeks detention."

"What! Noooo!" Link cried. He could easily forge his parents signature, but how can he get past detention? The boys all left. Once outside, they forged signatures for each other. Knope waited for Link and Poe and then lectured them about forging signatures. Link got home. Link tried going straight to his room, but was stopped by his parents.

"You got home late from the burning, Link." His dad said casually.

Links eyes widened and began to run. Ganon grabbed him by the collar and help him at eye level.

"The guard told me how you and your friends played hooky and made up a fake holiday. Then he told me how you were the one who first accused the women of being a witch. You are lucky she was really a witch." Ganon was furious at him, then noticed a piece of paper in his son's tunic. Ganon grabbed it and read it. "You have a weeks of detention and... you let your friends forage MY signature." He was geting angrier at the boy. "I'm tired of all your bad behavior. Well, it stops here." Ganon said pulling Link into his study

Link returned out of his dads study a few minute later crying and rubbing his bottom. He took off two hearts. Link went to bed that night angry at his dad. He thought that he shouldn't have snuck out, but he did a good thing. He caught a witch. Then Ganon knocked softly on his door.

"Link." He said. "Are you doing okay." Link rolled so his back was facing him. Ganon sighed and walked in. He picked up Link and started rocking him. Link found it oddly soothing. "Son, you have been getting into more and more trouble lately. I'm not sure why. Do I need to spend more time with you? Are we being too overprotective of you? Why are you acting out?" Ganon asked. "I have decided to have a father-son day. On Sarurday when you're not in school."

Link liked the idea of some time alone with his dad. Maybe it will be fun. Link was getting sleepy and yawned. He closed his eyes and rested against Ganon. Ganon kissed him good night and laid him in bed.

"Good night son, I love you."
