The Legend Of Zelda: The Whole Legend

Chapter 4

--Zelda's POV--

I stumbled up the hill, slowly following Link. Once, I knocked a small rock off it's holding, and as it rolled down the hill, Link looked back. I jumped and hid behind a boulder, but I wasn't sure if he saw me run or not. I waited until I heard his footsteps get farther away to look around the boulder. He was stealthily moving up the hill to Goron City. I sighed. He would surely be disappointed when he got there. However, I couldn't do anything about it, so I left that thought and snuck on. He walked in. I knew it was too dangerous to enter through the same door, as I could easily run into him in the dark tunnel. Too risky. I sat behind the shade of a boulder and waited. It would be just a little while before I could sneak in...But I had to find my way to sneak in. After I waited a few minutes, I walked up the mountain a little to find a narrow passage. I crawled in, and landed in gigantic room filled with rocks, lava, and bridges. I sighed and waited...

--Link's POV--

"Where, Navi?" I said as Navi went on talking. She stopped, and pointed in a direction. I looked, but all I saw was a rolling boulder. She seemed to roll her eyes at me, and she sighed.

"Throw a bomb at it, you idiot!" Navi scolded. My lips made the shape of "Oh", and I pulled a bomb from my bag. I threw it at the rolling rock, and it hit its target. The rock began to unroll, and stopped right in front of me.

"Hello, goro. How are you? Who are you?" The goron said with a polite smile.

"I'm... Link" I slowly replied. Gorons were usually very friendly like this, but it was unlikely for one of them to not know who I was... I had saved them as a kid, 7 years ago...

"Wow, goro! Me too. My father, Darunia, named me after a Link from many years ago!"

I just smiled at this. Memories came of the big goron. Then I frowned after looking over the empty city.

"Where is everyone?" I asked, a little disappointed.

"They are prisoners, in the Fire Temple. My father went up to try to free them, goro. But he hasn't returned. He told me to watch the place while he was gone."

I replied sarcastically," And you watched the place... By rolling around in a ball all day?" Yup, I thought, A real good way to watch over the place. Sounds good. Then I thought of how the goron was speaking... If he says 'goro' one more time, I'm going to go crazy... None of the others talked like that...

The goron blushed, or seemed to anyway. "Well... It gets boring, goro..."(At this time, I just turned around and leaned my head against the wall of the city.) "You try sitting here for a week, watching a place with no one in it but you...goro..." the goron Link said sadly.

I lightly hit my head against the wall, and quickly realized it was a very hard rock. I rubbed the top of my head, where I was sure to have a huge bruise, and stood there, thinking.

"Goro...Will you help my father?" Goron Link asked with pleading eyes. I looked at him, and sighed... I had to, I had no choice... If that stupid rock on the wall wasn't so hard, I'd hit my head again...

"Fine..." I mumbled. He jumped up to give me a huge, but I backed away and dodged his attack...er, hug... to prevent from getting crushed. I rubbed the back of my neck, as if I hadn't done anything at all. He just smiled at me, then threw something red at me. I caught it and held it up. It was a red tunic...

"Okay... Thanks?" I mumbled, still looking at the red cloth with confusion.

"It's the Goron Tunic. It will protect you from the heat of Death Mountain, goro!" he said a little gleefully. I just smiled, nodded my head, and went to turn out the door. Then I stopped and realized I didn't know where the next Temple was... I looked up at Navi.

"What? Don't tell me...!Oh! Just ask him!" She said angrily. I turned back to the goron, who surprisingly hadn't started rolling away yet. Then I heard Navi mumbling something to herself…

"Hero of Time, alright...absolutely clueless...Why me? I just had to have adventure... What an adventure this turned out to be... I'm leading the Hero everywhere...doesn't have enough sense..." She grumbled. I tried to ignored her.

"Hey, Uh...Link! Where...exactly... is the entrance to the Temple?" I asked the goron. He looked up and smiled. Then he pointed to Darunia's old room...

"There! It's in there... That's how my father got in. There is a secret entrance behind his room somewhere" He replied. I nodded and made my way to the room, with a loud, whining fairy following behind me.

When I got to the room, seeing as no one was there, I quickly changed tunics. Then I looked around the room. Not seeing any clues, I again looked up at Navi.

"Don't look at me! I don't know where this one is...but I'll sit and watch you struggle with the problem anyway" She laughed at me. I just glared at her.

"I knew I should have left you locked up in Mido's house...Hm, and to think, I can still get back there..." I threatened her. Of course, I was kidding, but I guess that was all she needed to hear. She sighed, then flew around the walls of the room, seeming to be looking for something. As she tapped on one of the blocks on the wall, we both noticed something. It was a hollow sound. Quickly I ran up, and she fluttered in excitement. I pulled on the wall, and inch by inch, it slid out to reveal a hidden passage.

I walked in, and despite the tunic, it was still hot. I didn't know what to do, or what to look for, so I walked over to a rundown bridge hanging above the pools of lava.

Real safe. Walk over a bridge, that is breaking, over a pool of lava that will kill you if you fall... Smart...How did I get into this mess? But... Zelda...

"Hero of Time" a muffled voice said. I jumped back a little in surprise. Then I saw the familiar... face?

"Sheik. So I did find the right way then..." I mumbled.

"Yes, Hero. You have found your next Temple. The Fire Temple. The Gorons have been captured by the evil forces of Ganondorf. Darunia has gone into to find him, but he cannot do it all on his own. " Sheik explained. I nodded.

"Why did Darunia go by himself?" I asked.

Sheik looked over the room of the temple before turning back to answer, " He thought it would be easy. He still plans on rescuing everyone, and defeating the dragon."

"The... dragon?" I stuttered. I'd heard legends of dragons, but had never actually been close to one, let alone fought one.

Sheik nodded. "Yes, a dragon. Volvagia, the fire dragon. Darunia needs your help, Hero of Time. He should be just past that door. That was where he last entered. Find him, rescue the gorons, and defeat Volvogia." he stated. I nodded in understanding.

"You must learn a new song. It is dedicated to the power of the heart... It is the Bolero of Fire. Listen." Sheik said as he pulled out his lyre and began to play. I pulled out my Ocarina and followed along. We finished the song, and just stood for a second.

Suddenly Sheik closed his eyes, almost as if in pain, then looked back at me.

"I must go now, Link. Good luck." Sheik stated, and again disappeared into a bright flash. I covered my eyes, then went across the rest of the bridge, cautiously, and went through the door.

"Link" a deep voice said. I jumped about 5 feet in the air, and turned around to look at where the voice came from. I smiled at what I saw.

"Darunia! Good to see you're okay! Sheik told me I'd find you in here." I told him.

"Yes, I believe I remember seeing that strange kid hanging around that door... And good to see you are still alive also. I see that my son, Link, has given you that tunic?" he stated. I nodded.

"Right. Now," He explained, "Link, I want you to free the rest of the Gorons. You will find them locked up in prison cells all over this temple. I will go after Volvagia. I believe you will find the first Goron there, through that door." Darunia said as he pointed to a door across the room. Then he turned to a door with a huge lock, and looked back at me. He was waiting to make sure I went through the door, so I wouldn't follow him.

"Later..." I waved at Darunia as I went through the door. He nodded. I closed the door and turned to the room.

After rescuing countless Gorons, who had all given me clues to getting through the temple, I was finally nearing the end of this temple. I wiped the sweat from my head, and swung the Megaton Hammer one last time. The boss door was only one jump away...

"AH!" I screamed as I swung the Hammer again and again on the dragon's head. Suddenly it rose high up in the air, sending me flying backwards. It screamed very loud and shrill, and I covered my ears to avoid going deaf. I looked up to see giant rocks fall from the ceiling at me. I jumped up with newfound energy and dodged each rock, one by one. Then Volvagia came back up from under the lava. It roared again, and sent fire at me. I dodged it, but only barely. I winced in pain as the fire glanced off my right arm. I quickly dodged to the side, and as the fire came back at me, I put up my shield to avoid getting barbecued. I quickly realized that was a bad choice, blocking fire with a metal shield, as my hand began to burn through my gauntlets, and Navi quickly yelled at me for it.

"Link, you idiot! Your hand will burn! RUN! Dodge! Something!" She quickly screamed. I decided to take her advice. I jumped to the side and rolled, again dodging the fire that had just missed my leg. I put my shield onto my back, over the Sword that I was also carrying. I again brought out the Megaton Hammer, and right as Volvagia was coming back at me, I swiftly jumped and hit. My Hammer found the target, and Volvagia roared for one last time.

As I landed on the ground, Volvagia fell through the air, hitting and crumbling the land floating on the pool of lava. I put my hands out to balance, to avoid also burning into the lava. As the last of Volvagia sank, a blue light appeared, along with a heart pendant. I grabbed the pendant and jumped into the light.

I landed in front of Goron City, where I had landed seven years ago after helping the Gorons the first time. Goron Link walked up to me.

"Hello, goro. You have saved my people! Thank you much for that, goro. My father... He has left. He mentioned about a greater job for himself. A Sage, I believe. I am now the leader of the Gorons and it is a true honor. Tell my father that, if you see him. Okay, goro?" He smiled. I nodded.

"I will tell him." I replied. Suddenly, about 15 Gorons dropped from the top of the mountain and next to Goron Link. I looked around them and fear quickly spread on my face. They all started walking towards me, with their hands outstretched. I slowly backed away, but they kept walking towards me.

"Hugs for the Hero!" they all chanted. I turned and ran up the mountain path screaming. "After 7 years, I was still afraid of the hugs from the Gorons... even now, they would still squash me to death, which would be very humiliating for the Hero of Time... To be squashed to death by your allies and friends... What a death that would be..." I thought while still running up the path. Suddenly, a voice was yelling at me.

"Hero! No hugs? Well... There is a Great Fairy's Fountain in the Crater of Death Mountain! If you can find her, she will surely reward you! But be careful, because...Goro!" I frowned as I heard the first part, but had been able to hear why to be careful, because of my heavy breathing and a scolding from a certain fairy. I also shook my head as I heard the very last word, wishing I wasn't on a mountain made of very hard rock walls.

--Zelda's POV--

I continued to wait on the bridge for a while. "What is taking Link so long?" I thought. Sadly, I looked around the Fire temple room. It was... almost sickening, what had happened to the place. Although it had always been made of lava, now it was just... a reflection of evil. Now, everything was evil. Except for Link. And the townspeople, and people of every other place, not counting the Gerudo. Nabooru had been the only one who knew right from wrong... She had her small band of Gerudos. Most of the Gerudos followed Nabooru after Ganondorf had left them for better things.

Suddenly, I heard a sound, and looked.

A young man in a red tunic then walked in from the dark tunnel from the City. I smiled when I saw the familiar face of Link. He looked tired and a little confused. I grinned. He hadn't noticed me yet; he was still looking around the room. He saw the edge the rickety bridge I was standing on and walked towards it. He started cautiously stepping across the bridge, obviously paying more attention to not falling off than anything else.

"Hero of Time" I said. He jumped back, and then looked up at me. A calmer look came over his face, but I could tell he was still being alert about the bridge we were on.

"Sheik. So I did find the right way then..." Link muttered, again looking around the room, then focusing his attention back on me.

"Why did Darunia go by himself?" he inquired.

My gaze glanced over the room of the temple before turning back to answer, " He thought it would be easy. He still plans on rescuing everyone, and defeating the dragon."

"The... dragon?" Link stammered. He had a slight look of fear over his face. He probably has never heard of a real dragon. Great way to introduce him to one.

I gave a nod of my head. "Yes, a dragon. Volvagia, the fire dragon. Darunia needs your help, Hero of Time. He should be just past that door. That was where he last entered. Find him, rescue the gorons, and defeat Volvogia." I declared. He gave a quick nod.

"You must learn a new song. It is dedicated to the power of the heart... It is the Bolero of Fire. Listen." I explained as I pulled out my lyre and began to play. Link pulled out the Ocarina and followed along. When we finished, we stood for a silent moment that, to me, seemed to last forever. It was ended by a voice.

"Sheik…"

I closed my eyes and looked down…

"…Sheik…"

I didn't want to leave Link! Maybe I could help him somehow…

"Shiek!…"

He was getting impatient. I had to hurry.

I looked up at Link's face. His eyes showed that he saw my face a moment ago, and he was worried. Link…I want to tell you the truth…Everything…

I looked away from his blue eyes and quietly stated, "I must go now, Link. Good luck." I threw the deku nut down and, behind the big flash, I disappeared into the shadows. As I glanced back, I saw Link shield his eyes from the light. The last I saw was him crossing the bridge and going through the door.

"Good Luck" I whispered, even though he could no longer hear me.

Quickly I made my way from Death Mountain to the horrible place of Ganon's Castle. I walked up the countless stairs, ending up once again in Ganondorf's room. He turned around, and his gaze looked over me suspiciously. I looked him straight in the eye, showing no fear.

"Master" I said in an automatic voice.

"Sheik. What took you so long?", Ganondorf asked me.

"I was merely-" I began to say, but was cut off by his harsh voice.

"Helping the Hero of Time again, were you?" He smirked. I was shocked he had said that, but I was determined not to show any emotions in my eyes.

"No, Master. Merely… weakening him. The heat from the volcano will wear him down. Even if he succeeds in defeating Volvagia, he will be very much fatigued. After so many battles, it would simply be impossible for him to recover quick enough." I stated, still looking at his face. He looked up at me.

"Yes. Good point, Sheik. The weaker he is, the easier he will be to defeat. Grand!" He exclaimed with a small grin.

"Yes, Master" I simply put in.

"That will be all. Continue to follow him. Do what you must. Don't kill him. Save that for me." He waved towards the door, and turned back to his organ. As I left the room, the walls around me shook from the vibration of his organ playing.

As I made it out into Hyrule field, I noticed it was getting late. I quickly hurried up the steps to Kakariko Village and, sneaking around the houses, through the shadows, continued my way up to Death Mountain. Just as I made it near the entrance to Goron City, a dim light appeared and Link emegered from the light. I noticed the young goron standing in front of him. I managed to hear the entire conversation.

The Goron spoke first. "Hello, goro. You have saved my people! Thank you much for that, goro. My father... He has left. He mentioned about a greater job for himself. A Sage, I believe. I am now the leader of the Gorons and it is a true honor. Tell my father that, if you see him. Okay, goro?" The Goron gave a quick smile, and I saw Link give his usual nod. Not surprising that Darunia became the Sage. He was always a very trustworthy person. Hopefully he still is. Trust is a hard think to break…My thoughts ended as the conversation went on.

"I will tell him." He replied, with true loyalty in his voice.. Suddenly, about 15 Gorons dropped from the top of the mountain and next to the first Goron. They started to surround Link slightly, and I had to give a small laugh as fear noticeably spread on Link's face. They all started walking towards him with their hands outstretched. Link slowly backed away and they continued to walk towards him. Again I gave a small laugh.

"Hugs for the Hero!" they all chanted. He turned quickly on his feet and dashed up the mountainside path, screaming. The Goron yelled after him, but whether Link heard him or not was impossible to tell.

"Hero! No hugs? Well... There is a Great Fairy's Fountain in the Crater of Death Mountain! If you can find her, she will surely reward you! But be careful, because..."I heard at first. Then the Goron took a deep breath and continued to say, although not as loud, " the rocks fall down the pathway!...Goro!" As my eyes followed Link, I could see Navi flying next to his ear, her wings fluttering in anger. As the Gorons went inside Goron City, I followed Link's footsteps up the dirt path of the Mountain.

--Link's POV--

After getting up a ways, I came to a long stretch of trail, with walls of rocks on both sides. I looked up in desperation.

"Careful, Link. Something...isn't right...Be careful..." Navi whispered to me. I looked up at all the rocks on the edge of the walls, and gave a quick sigh. I got my shield and held it above my head. I closed my eyes, then looked ahead and ran.

Suddenly, rocks began hitting my shield, and I noticed all around me that huge boulders and rocks were falling. I cursed loudly when one rock hit my back, almost making me fall over. I caught myself, and continued to run. I gave a look of relief as I noticed I was almost at the end. Finally I made it past the last falling boulder, and put my shield back. I looked back to see what I had gone through. What was that? Something blue is running through the boulders too...could it be?... Nah, just my mind playing tricks on me. I began to climb up the steep cliff.

Finally I got to the top, and I saw a broad rock. I sat and rubbed my forehead... Running through the rocks had given me a headache... I looked over myself, and saw that I only had a few minor cuts and bruises from the rocks. I looked around a little. Was that something blue again? I could have sworn I saw something that time...there in the shadows...Nah...My imagination again...

I got up and looked around. I saw a cave entrance, and guess that it had to be it. I walked in…

----

I walked out of the Great Fairy's Fountain feeling very refreshed and strong. I had received a great gift from the mysterious Fairy, and I was sure to use it.

--Zelda's POV--

I could hear his footsteps going still further up the Mountain. I again followed along in the shadows. Finally, we made it to a long stretch of mountain path. Walls of rock were on both sides. I grumbled as I realized where we were. As he walked forward, the ground trembled, and the rocks began falling. When I looked back at him, I saw that he was already halfway across the long path. He was running with his shield over his head, and trying to dodge the biggest boulders. I looked up at the rocks still falling, then a look of determination went across my face. If Link could do it, so could I... Although Link having a shield made it easier on him. I noticed Link was almost at the end. Is that blood all over his tunic? I thought. I closed my eyes and prayed, then jumped into the paths of rocks.

I was almost to the end when a single rock hit my leg. I winced in pain, and would have yelled out if I had thought Link couldn't hear me. I saw him climbing further up the mountain. He was going to Death Mountain Crater. I cursed under my breath as another rock hit me in the arm. Clutching it, I ran the rest of the way through the tumbling rocks, and followed closely behind Link.

Once at the top, I could see the sweat on Link's face. He had many cuts on his arms and legs, where the sharp edges of the rocks had hit him. I gave a sigh of relief as I realized it wasn't blood all over his tunic. I never noticed the red Goron tunic before… I took opportunity at his chance of rest and sat down quietly. A few moments later, I watched as Link got up and walked into an opening, similar to a cave. He was going into the Great Fairy's Fountain.

I sat and waited, thinking. I was the true heir to Hyrule's throne, and I was forced to go into hiding. It made me angry. I remembered the time when I had first thought of going into hiding.

Flashback...

"Impa, there is no way I will be able to stay in hiding like this, as the Princess. He will find me sooner or later." I explained.

"Yes. Of course Princess. But...what do you suggest? There is only so much...that we can do" She quietly replied.

"I have a piece of the Triforce. That should give me some power, should it not? I have learned spells. Aren't there any strong enough to change my appearance?" I asked. I was determined to convince her that this time I was right.

"Princess... Zelda...I...There is one spell I believe you could make. It is risky, but if it works, you will have your alter ego." She said to me. She was in deep thought, and looked at her bookshelf for an old book. She pulled out an old faded one, and sat at the table. She called me over, and we looked through the book.

Finally we had chosen that I should get the appearance of a male sheikah. I would wear the male armor, although it would be tight, so no one would ever think to recognize me as the Princess of Hyrule. And I would use the power of my Triforce to change my hair and eyes. I would wear bandages over my arms and fingers to try to hide my small, delicate hands. And I would wear layered cloth over my face, to cover my slim face and my small voice.

We practiced many hours in this Sheikah form. I practiced battle moves, and switching from Princess to Sheik, my new form and alter ego. I had been sure I could finally control the Triforce of Wisdom within me.

The Sheikah being sworn protectors of the Royal Family, we had to come up with a story…

"I will be the descendant of the traitor Sheikahs. When I heard of Hyrule beginning to be defeated, I returned to find out what was going on, and to help to fight against Hyrule. I will convince that to Ganondorf. He will never suspect me being the Princess. I will work right under his nose. But will I have to hurt Link in the process? I will have to protect both Link and myself, while acting like I was against the Hero of Time." Those had been my words I had spoken when I was 10 years old…

I thought more...I remembered the last words that Impa had said to me…

"Don't let Sheik control Zelda. If you become too much of a part of your alter ego, always obeying Ganondorf and such… Dangerous things could happen. Zelda… Please. Be careful..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See?? Interesting, isn't it?.. Can't say I didn't try. Well Okay, what do we have here...Sheik calls Ganondorf her Master... Impa warned her about controlling the Triforce...Zelda THOUGHT she could control it, but was she sure?? What problem has befallen Zelda!?... hm. and Link.. the smart one to use a metal shield to block fire.. Ohwell. So. Any questions? Good. Review. PLEASE!... Even if it is anonymous, please review so I know people like it! its very discouraging when people dont review! So review and make me happy:D. THANK YOU:)...

Oh and sorry if the text is messed up a little.. it was fine before, but when I loaded it onto here, it changed a little.. I'll come up with the next chapter soon!
