(Krystal Fox) :) I got the idea for Amy in Finding Nemo, haha. :D Link is guaranteed to change at least once in all the temples, probrably two in the Shadow Temple. Muahahaha...I wish they continued the journey with Link seeking out Navi in N64....(sigh)

:D R.I.P. Disclaimer!
Link shivered. It was cold.
"We're back in the center room..." Navi murmured.
"It looks like we are."
They were on a high balcony, and could see the four torches in the center, three of them lit. Navi floated down and circled around each of the torches.
"C'mon Link, come down."
Link's teeth chattered nervously. "Do I have to?"
"Link..." Navi's tone was soft and dangerous.
"Okay," Link squeaked, climbing over the edge. "Here I-"
"No, not that-"
Boom. Link landed painfully on the ground with a loud thud.
"Way..." Navi moaned. "You should've just used your hookshot on the torch, Link."
Sighing, Navi flew over to Link and checked for bruises. Amazingly, Link was unharmed. Link got up and rubbed his back.
"You told me to come down," Link grumbled. "You didn't specify what way to come down."
"Point taken," Navi agreed. Link sniffed.
"I smell muffins." Link commented. Navi took a sniff too.
"I smell popcorn. Extra butter." Navi said.
"I smell blueberry muffins, baked for thirty minutes."
"I smell popcorn with extra butter made from an inexperienced employee in AMC," Navi challenged.
"I smell blueberry muffins baked by someone's loving grandmother in an old cottage with real blueberries and put in an old oven for thirty minutes set to maximum heat." Link retorted.
Navi laughed. "I give up. But I really do smell something odd."
Link cautiously unsheathed his sword and silently stalked forward, the Master Sword in his right hand, his shield in the other.
"Blithering idiots. Fools. Stupid humans. Pathetic weaklings." The same voice they had heard in the chamber with Amy mocked them.
Link froze.
"You are truly dim-witted. I am thoroughly surprised that Jo failed to defeat you. Amy and Beth were always the soft ones. I am the strongest of the Poe Sistahs, and you will face my wrath!!!"A purple Poe unveiled itself in the center of all the torches.
"You are the most thickest...things to set foot in here. This is the Forest Temple, you fools! Only the ones worthy of magic are allowed to enter! The Poe Sisters have made sure of that for more than five centuries! Your blood will mark these walls!"
Link let out a giggle.
"Why are you laughing?" Navi hissed. "She was serious!"
"I couldn't help it," Link said, gasping for air. "I was about to scream, and that giggle just-"
A purple ball of flame suddenly flew out of Meg's lamp and slammed Link in the leg.
"OOOOOWWWW!"
Link hopped up and down on one leg. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow."
There was a long slash going downwards, and it looked pretty painful. Navi grimaced.
Meg cackled. "Fool. Did you think you could defeat me?"
Navi groaned. It wasn't going to be pretty.
"Let's play a game," Link panted, and Navi saw pain etched on his face.
"In your last few moments of life?" Meg sneered. "Certainly, pathetic Kokiri, I shall be generous and will grant you a "game"."
Link brightened. "See, it's called, Navi Archery."
Navi paled. She did not like the sounds of this game.
"It's okay," Link whispered into her ear. Navi relaxed. "I think I'll miss most of the time."
"You have to hit my fairy three times in a row with an arrow," Link explained, motioning at Navi, who was staring open-mouthed. "See, you have one life. If you miss then I get a hit. No shielding. And if you hit her, then you get to hit me. Same goes with me. Easy?"
"Fairly," Meg snickered. "I'll dispose of you rather quickly. So easy, in fact, I'll let you go first."
"How kind," Link said sarcastically, fitting an arrow. "By the way, any foul play is quickly um...sorted by our judge...who is...er..."
"Me," Navi quipped, still very tense.
"Right," Link said quickly, "if you cheat then the other player will get a free shot."
Meg looked suspiciously at Navi and Link before nodding.
Link nocked an arrow and aimed at Navi, who looked so white she could've blended in perfectly with snow.
"Sorry," Link mouthed. The arrow flew from the bow and brushed Navi's wings.
"Hit!" Navi declared. "Since I am the judge, I declare a hit!"
Meg humphed.
"One free hit, remember?" Link said.
Meg glared at Link and swung her lantern at him.
"Hey!" Link exclaimed. "I get a free hit!"
"I'll tell you what." Meg snarled. "I don't like this game, and I think I'm just going to get rid of you right now."
Link yelped and started running.
Meg laughed menacingly. "You can run but you can never ever hide."
"What was that game for then???" Navi yelled angrily at Link, who was scrambling up some stairs.
"I don't know," Link replied. "I was bored, I guess."
Before Navi had any time to explode, Meg slammed her lantern onto Link's back. Link howled and whipped around and slashed his sword from the side. Meg screeched in pain and seemed to disappear.
"That's gotten rid of her," Navi said, relieved. "But what about the torch? It's unlit."
"Pathetic things!" Meg spat out, popping out in front of Link, along with four other clones. They all started circling around Link, who was white and confused.
"But I hit you!" Link yelled.
"You did," Meg admitted. "But it didn't do you any good, now did it?"
"It didn't seem to," Link mumbled.
"Hit one of them, Link!" Navi shouted.
Link swung his sword at the one in front of him.
"Hahaha!" Meg chortled, as the clone disappeared. "Wrong one, dummy!"
Link paled and swung his sword in a circle. The remaining three Poes simply floated back, out of Link's reach.
"One at a time," Meg mocked.
Link growled and slashed at another. Wrong. Another. Wrong. The last Poe laughed evilly and swung the lantern at Link.
Navi flinched.
Link ignored the white hot burning pain spreading from his arm, biting at him like a thousand knives at the same time.
Three other Poes shimmered into view again. Link repeated this process, but slashed the right Poe on his second try.
"HAH! THERE!" Link yelled.
Meg howled in a mixture of pain and anger. Three other Poes popped up from thin air again and Link grew more agile and sharp, attacking the right one every other turn.
Finally, Meg let out a gasp of fury after a fatal blow and slowly sank into the floor, defeated.
"You...are...a...more...worthy...opponent that...I thought..." she said in a voice that slowly faded away. "But...you...are...no...match...for my...master..."
Link shrank away from Meg as she tried desperately one last time to hit him with her lantern.
A purple flame rose from where Meg once floated and lit the last torch. There was a loud rumble, and the odd symbol on the floor slowly rose up, shaking off centuries of dust.
"Cool," Navi squeaked. The odd brown object stood there, waiting. It looked like an elevator with four open steps. "Better go on, Link."
Link slowly approached the elevator and stuck one foot on it.
"What are you waiting for?" Navi asked impatiently.
"Well, see, I had these frightening dreams where I would be gobbled up by an insane enchanted elevator that looks exactly-"Link pointed to the innocent elevator, "like that."
Navi glared at Link. "Get on the elevator."
"But I could be instantly devoured!" Link protested.
"We'll take our chances. Get on the elevator."
Link pouted.
"Don't you care if I get eaten?" Link whined. "My dreams are usually correct. Mido told me that you have to beware of Kokiri-eating elevators. They're common in the Lost Woods, mysterious temples you only set foot in for saving someone, and an artist's kitchen."
A vein pulsed in Navi's temple.
"You will step on this elevator on the count of three." Navi said softly, her voice piercing and sharp.
Link waited.
"One...two...three...WHY AREN'T YOU ON THE ELEVATOR?"
"You said four!"
"GET ON THE STINKIN' ELEVATOR!" Navi screamed, her cries bouncing across the room.
"Oh fine," Link grumped.
