"Link quick! Get out your bow and arrow!" Navi said as the gate behind the two closed. Link quickly pulled out the bow.

There was a snort behind them, Link turned around and came face to face with phantom Ganon! He grinned wickedly at Link, then began to laugh. Link tensed, ready for anything.

Phantom Ganon turned his black horse and raced into one of the pictures, Link looked confused and glanced over at Navi.

"Link, he's going to appear from one of the pictures, when he does, shoot him with an arrow!" Navi said, Link nodded and notched an arrow, glancing at each picture every few seconds.

Finally, he spotted Ganon coming in one of the pictures, as soon as he got close, Link shot an arrow at him. But it went right through him!

"Link watch out!" Navi cried as Link was hit in the back by a bolt of electricity. Link fell to his knees and grit his teeth against the pain. Phantom Ganon laughed and disappeared into one of the pictures.

"Come on Link, is this the best you can do?"Phantom Ganon's voice teased, echoing around the room. Link grit his teeth, Ganon was just teasing him to get him angry. Well he wasn't going to let it work.

Link notched another arrow and moved around in a circle, his back to the middle as he watched all the pictures.

Finally Phantom Ganon appeared in the picture, and Link shot an arrow. This time hitting him in the chest and making him roar in pain. Link had gotten the real one this time.

"Yeah Link! Kick his ghosty butt!" Navi shouted, and Link grinned, feeling better at Navi's encouraging words.

"Link! Watch out!"

Link wheeled around just in time to avoid being hit by phantom Ganon's electric bolt.

Phantom Ganon was floating above him, a wicked grin on his face. All signs of his horse gone as he formed and energy ball in his hands and threw it at Link.

Link quickly rolled to the side to avoid it and watched the spot where he'd been standing melt before his very eyes.

"Link! When Phantom Ganon shoots bolts at you, hit them back with the master sword!" Navi said,

Link didn't say anything, but Navi knew he had heard. Phantom Ganon let out an evil laugh, then shot another electric bolt at Link.

Link quickly pulled out the master sword, remembering Navi's words. As the bolt came closer, Link swung the sword like a baseball bat, and the bolt flew back towards phantom Ganon.

Ganon's eyes opened in surprise, he quickly ducked and just barely managed to miss the bolt. He turned around and glared at Link.

"This is far from over." He said, forming another bolt in his hands. Link grinned.

"Bring it on." He said, angering Phantom Ganon. Ganon roared and shot the bolt at Link, another wicked grin on his face.

Link waited until the bolt was close enough before swinging the master sword with all his strength. The bolt connected with the sword and flew at Phantom Ganon, who's eyes were wide as the bolt connected with his chest.

Ganon roared and sank to the ground on his knees, trying to recover.

"Link! Hurry and hit him with the master sword!" Navi said. Link nodded and raced over to phantom Ganon, slashing him several times with the sword.

Ganon roared, throwing Link back, and melted, leaving a heart piece and a pile of glowing ashes behind.

Link exhaled, and sheathed the master sword.

"You know Navi, sometimes I wonder why I was chosen as the hero." Link said, staring at the glowing pile of ashes. Navi didn't reply.

Soon after the fight with Ganon, Link found himself in the chamber of the sages, face to face with Saria, his old friend.

"Link… thank you so much. Thanks to you, the forest temple is safe and I am able to fully awaken as the forest sage." She said, she smiled at Link.

"It's good to see you back." She said, she handed him a green medallion.

"This is the forest medallion, I give it to you and add my strength to yours." Saria said, she waved to Link.

"Wait!" Link cried, but Saria had already disappeared and transported him back to the outside of the temple.

Saria…

"Great goddesses it's hot." Link said, shielding his eyes to glance up at the sky. Navi groaned and flopped down on Link's shoulder, fanning herself with her wing.

"Link… we've gotta find shelter soon… before we roast to death." She said, Link nodded, and glanced around.

"Last I figured we were heading towards Kakariko." He said, Navi glanced over at him, a pair of mini sunglasses over her eyes. "and why would we want to go back to THAT place?" she asked. Link grinned.

"Because, the have food and water, and I haven't been there in a while." He said. Navi sighed and floated up to Link's hat stretching out in the sun.

"Fine, do as you will. I'm going to try and get a nice tan." She said. Link shook his head. Women

It was too hot to ride Epona, so Link led her, his thoughts falling back to when he first returned to Kokiri forest.

Link stepped through the tunnel leading to the forest, excited at the thought of returning to his old him. He was sadly disappointed.

The forest was dead quietNot a fairy to been seen. 'I wonder what's going on?' Link wondered, walking around.

Suddenly, a huge Deku Baba thingy rose out of the ground and attacked Link, trying to bite his head off. Link quickly drew the master sword and killed it with a simple slash.

"Now I see what's going on." Link said, "Since Ganondorf's rule, monsters have raided the forest." Link suddenly was filled with anger. The poor Kokiri, forced to hide in order to stay alive.

"Hello! Is anyone here?" Link called, nothing. He glanced at Navi, who was sitting on his shoulder. "I don't understand Navi, where is everyone?" he said.

"Why don't you try one of the houses? Maybe they're hiding from the monsters." Navi suggested. Link nodded and headed towards the nearest house, leaning down to duck into the small, Kokiri sized door.

"Don't come any closer! Or I'll be forced to harm you!" a voice said, it sounded familiar to Link.

"Mido?" he said.

"H-how do you k-know my name?" the voice said, and several of the Kokiri children emerged from the shadows, one of them carrying a sharpened stick. The others clung to each other and stared at Link with big eyes.

"It's alright, you're safe." Link said, he knelt down in front of the children. Mido spotted the sword on Link's back. "Hey, isn't that the master sword?" he asked. Link glanced at it but didn't say anything.

"You're the hero of time!" Mido said, he immediately lowered his stick and turned to the other children.
"It's ok! He's the hero of time! We're safe with him!" he said, the other children relaxed. One of the little girls walked over to Link.

"Are you going to save older sister?" she asked.

"Who's your older sister?" Link asked, "Saria!" the other children shouted out. "We call her big sister caus' she cares for us!" one of the boys said.

"Saria?!" Link said, he stood up. "Do you know where Saria is?" he asked, Mido looked confused.

"Do you know Saria?" he asked, Link looked away, his bangs covering his eyes. "I knew her, a long time ago." He said. Mido stared at him.

"I don't know why, but when I look at you… I see him." He said, Link glanced at him. "Who?" He asked.

"That meanie, Link. He left the forest a few years ago and never came back. Idiot, I TOLD HIM TO COME BACK!" he said. Link looked away, his bangs covering his eyes.

"I bet you'll see him again someday." He said, Mido glanced up at him. "you think so?" he said, Link nodded and looked up, his eyes clouded with emotions.

"I'm sure you will." He said. Mido stared at him suspiciously for a minute before shrugging.

Link sighed and left the house, ducking through the doorway. The children followed him, still a little nervous, but not as much knowing the hero of time was with them.

"Do any of you know which way the-"

"Look out!" one of the children cried. A Deku baba had popped out of the ground and tried to eat them. Link quickly drew his sword and killed with a single slash. The children stared up at him in amazement.

"Now, as I was saying, do any of you know where the forest temple is?" Link asked, the children all pointed to the trail leading to lost woods.

"What are you going to do?" One of the children asked.

"I'm going to find Saria, I need her help." Link said, he glanced around. "I want all of you to hide in one of the houses until I get back."

"Where are you going?" Mido asked as the children huddled around him.

"I have to go to the forest temple and find Saria. She needs my help." Link said, he pointed to the house. Go quickly, and don't come out until I come for you." He said. The children nodded and took off, Mido glanced back at Link before following the children in.

As soon as the children had gone in, Link headed for the forest temple. Hoping to find his long lost friend.

Link sighed, after he'd saved Saria and cleared the forest temple, he'd gone back and had show the Kokiri that the forest was safe. But none of them had remembered him. Link had a feeling that was a good thing, at least they would all be friends next time he saw them.

"Are you absolutely sure you want to do this Link? Absolutely sure?" Navi asked, Link nodded.

He and Navi were standing outside the entrance of Kakariko village, and Link was debating weather or not to go in.

"If you're gonna do it, then do it. Just don't expect me to save you." Navi said, disappearing into Link's hat. Link took a deep breath and headed up the steps until he reached the entrance of the village. The villagers were busy working, but as Link entered the village, a young boy looked over and spotted him. Instantly his face brightened and he smiled.

"Welcome back Link!" He said, several other villagers spotted him and also greeted him, welcoming him back to the village.

(They seemed to have learned their lesson about mobbing him)

Link smiled and glanced around the village. It was good to be among friends, if only for a while before heading to the fire temple.
