Chapter 3: Blindness

A hero, knowing nothing of Ganon, only his desire stood before him. What right he thought did he have Ganon argued to himself, to stand before him, defying his will. Was it really that detestable to him? His shadow grew, engulfing the boy below him. Taking a form to match this hatred Ganon faced this 'hero'. Yet all his powers again amounted to naught, and he was struck down, sealed into an unreachable realm.

It was here at last, in genuine quiet, utterly isolated that he could contemplate. If his ambitions were to create a new world, why should he stop upon the ignorance of others, who lack the ability to even consider his ideals. If he had the power and will to surrender his life to the cause, he had the right to.

There, in the nothingness he vowed. My ambitions shall not be quelled.

Silently a woman stared upon Ganondorf's unmoving body, as it stood under the hylian moon. Her rich brown locks swaying lightly. A youth, clad in simple green garments approached, coming silently, observing the silent titan.

" Ganondorf always had the power to defeat you," the woman said lightly, barely audible over the soothing breeze," but he saw himself in you, a lone boy standing against oppression. He admired you, even as he looked down the end of your blade, he couldn't help but wonder what it was you fought for, what you protected, who you protected. He lacked wisdom and courage, for he could not face that he still might be the emotional boy I knew, and rather blinded himself with anger and hate, to try and become something he was not,"

The boy stopped, observing the woman, gazing sadly at the sword piercing Ganondorf.

She smiled, her eyes closing forcing out a tear, which sparkled luminously in the soft moonlight.

" I do not think you are wrongful though, for although Ganondorf is dead, Ganon lives yet. Ganon is power, the power that seized Ganondorf, the power you have the courage to face. Ganondorf saw that, he saw you were stronger than him and gave you the chance to live in his stead, protecting others like him,"

Link turned, regarding Ganondorf for a moment.

A great wind from the west blew across the field, whipping Link's tunic about. With that, Link strode from the Titan, a grain of sand, landing upon his cap.
