Author Notes: Thanks for the review Silent Slayer 2000, and yes, Midna will be coming back, you'll discover how in this chapter, but I crave my more reviews, and I'm hoping to get some more now that I have two chapters up. Also, if anyone has ideas for nicknames for either of the two Links, please tell me, I can't think of any.

Enjoy

Chapter 1

The Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask vs The Twilight Princess!

I stayed at Hyrule Castle for several days after I met Link, the two of us took to each other quickly, and I began noticing a trend in the heroes chosen by the gods. Link and I had a lot in common and got along smoothly, and over the next few days we were never short on anything to talk about. Since we were both heroes, and we've both had to face Ganondorf, we could appreciate each other's tales of adventures and exploits.

I quickly realized my own adventure didn't hold a candle to this guy's, he had way more experience than me. He told me all about his adventure as a child, and rescuing the sages, and it turns out he and I have traveled to many of the same places in Hyrule. He also told me about a fairy named Navi, and he become really quiet when speaking of her, but he said none of it could have been possible without her, and that he misses her dearly.

In fact, that was how he stumbled into the world known as Termina, he was looking for his friend in the Lost Woods. It was then he told me about the mischievous Skull Kid, and all about the Majora's Mask.

But the conversation wasn't at all one-sided, he asked me plenty of questions about my own adventure, about what it's like being a wolf, and about the twilight realm. We were on a walk through hyrule field right outside of Castle Town when I first told him about Midna.

"Zelda told me that she was very beautiful," he said when I first mentioned her, and before I could catch myself I said, "She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow and a coy smile, "Well well, it appears you care for her a lot."

I stared at Link, ever since Midna left I have done my best to try and not think of her, and for the first week Zelda could tell something was wrong with me, but I always brushed her away, and I certainly didn't want to talk about Midna to someone I had just met.

"Well…," I started, "You are allowed to think someone's beautiful and not have feelings for them aren't you?"

"Quite right, but you said she was the most beautiful thing you'd ever seen," said Link, imitating me and embellishing my voice to sound a bit higher than it really is.

"Alright, so what if I do? It doesn't change anything, she's gone… "

I stared strait ahead, knowing Link was staring at me, not wanting to meet his gaze. The mood of the conversation just took a rapid turn in a direction I didn't want it to go. I felt Link put his hand on my shoulder, "It's not alright, and it's not fair that your time with her was so short, and it's not fair that you can never see her again. I felt the same way… when I was in Termina… I wondered if I would ever get to see Zelda again, and after seven long years I had lost all hope."

I turned to look at Link, "So you have feelings for Zelda?"

His eyes grew wide, realizing he had just let something slip, then his face grew calm again, "Yes, I suppose I do, and I'll admit, when she first told me about I was a little paranoid that she may have feelings for someone else, but after talking to you I quickly realized you two were just good friends."

I sighed, "Yeah, Zelda's a swell gal, and she's very beautiful and kind, but…"

"But you love Midna," Link finished for me.

"…Yeah."

After that, we were silent for a moment, until Link broke the silence with talk of different items and weapons he had come across on his journey, and since I had quite the arsenal myself I was able to add a lot of input.

He told me his favorite weapen, the Longshot, and I told him about my similar item called the Clawshot… only I had two of them.

He also told me he collected several masks while in Termina, but he didn't go into detail about them, and how he had several different kinds of arrows.

"You know something?" he asked.

"Yeah?"

"Ever since I met you I couldn't help but wonder… which one of us is better, you know?"

"Yeah I do," I said. All through our talk of adventures I was constantly comparing myself to him, wondering what I would have done in his place. It's only natural to assume he was doing the same thing.

"So how 'bout it?" he asked standing to his feet.

"How about what?"

"We should have a duel, nothing too dangerous, but a test of skill. Me against you, hero versus hero."

I stood up, he was challenging me? I will admit I was nervous, but a part of me really wanted to prove myself to him, "Okay, I'm fine with that, but how?"

Link looked around, as if looking for something that would help us, "Well… we could just agree to use our swords?"

"Swords only? Sounds good."

I watched as Link unsheathed a strange looking sword that was gold and purple. "Something from Termina?" I asked.

"It's the Great Fairy Sword."

"Ah," I said as I unsheathed my own sword, "this is the Master Sword!"

He looked at my blade extended in front of me, "I know this sword, I used to wield it myself. It's seems most unusual that I should be fighting against it now."

The thought of the Master Sword having previous owners never occurred to me, and I was hoping he didn't want it back, because I wasn't sure I was willing to part with it. I gripped my sword tighter for a moment, but then I put it back in its sheathe.

"What are you doing?" Link asked me.

"Don't worry, just come at me."

"I'd rather you have your sword at the ready, I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't hurt me, I promise."

He looked at me suspiciously, "Just to be safe, I better cast Nayru's Love on both of us. We'll still feel the force of the blow, but we won't take any damage."

"Nayru's Love?" I asked curiously. "You can do magic?"

"Of course," he said, "can't you?"

I shook my head "no".

"Hmm, that's interesting."

"Oh well," I said, "Let's do this."

It wasn't so much that I couldn't do magic, but Midna always took care of that department for me, if I had her by my side I never needed to worry about magic. She was magical enough for the both us.

Link walked over to me and placed his hands above my head and traced them down my body without touching. Then he backed off, and as he did a blue prism appeared around me.

"This will protect me?" I asked.

"Guarantee it!" he said, and then he proceeded to erect a blue prism around himself as well, "however, they won't last forever, so be careful."

"Alright… come at me then."

Link smiled, and then his face went serious and he let out a yell as he jumped through the air doing a downward thrust at me with his sword, but before he could even realized what happened, I drew my sword and slashed his vulnerable stomach, knocking him to the ground and on his back.

"It's called the 'Mortal Draw' technique!" I said, bouncing on my toes with my sword in front of me.

He stood up and said, "I underestimated you, but not this time." He lowered his sword in front of him and approached me slowly. I almost considered sheathing my sword and repeating the same move twice, but I thought I'd give the guy a chance.

As soon as he got within enough distance, I jumped to the side as he lunged forward with his sword. I proceeded to tumble behind him, and I came out of my tumble with an upward spin attack. This time, Link fell forward on his face.

"It's called the 'Back-Slice'," I told him. I smiled and sheathed my sword, this battle was over.

He stood up and regained his composure, "It is clear who the better swordsman is here, but that hardly determines who the better fighter. Since we are protected by Nayru's Love right now, what do you say we forego the previously decided 'Swords Only' agreement?"

I eyed him suspiciously; I really didn't have my other weapons with me besides my bow, but I was willing to agree just to see where he was going with this.

"Alright," I said, readying myself for anything.

I watched as my opponent reached inside his pocket and pulled out a nut. What was he going to do with a nut?

"I take it from your expression you don't know what this is?"

"No, I don't."

"Good," he said, and he threw the nut on the ground in front of me and a blinding flash erupted from where it hit. Before I could even ask think of what happened, I felt something hit me hard right in between the shoulder blades. How did he get behind me so fast?

As I fell to the ground I went into a roll to create distance between me and him, and I rolled out into my fighting stance, I quickly unlatched my shield and held it out in front of me. My vision still hadn't returned yet, but I knew I had made the right decision when I felt his sword clang against my shield.

I rubbed my eyes with my free hand, everything was coming back into focus, I could see Link in front of me waiting patiently. He was wearing a hat now, a hat with bunny ears.

"It's called the 'Bunny Hood'," he said. "It gives me super speed."

That explains how he got so behind me so fast, but it didn't matter now, I was ready for him. I put my hand on the hilt of my sword, preparing to use another 'Mortal Draw' as soon as he got close enough.

"I'm not going to fall for that again," he said as he pulled out his bow and notched an arrow. The arrow started to grow blue, and then he shot it. I barely got my shield up in time to stop the arrow, but as soon as the two connected, my shield froze over. It was so cold I dropped it immediately. What kind of magic was this? I looked up at Link to see him notching another arrow.

"That won't work a second time," he said.

He was right, I no longer had my shield, I was a sitting duck. I unsheathed my sword as he shot the arrow, to my luck, I managed to reflect the arrow with the broad side of my sword.

I was pleased to see that my sword had not frozen the way my shield did, and before Link could draw out another arrow I charged forward with my sword. I jumped over Link doing a front flip, but at the same time hitting him in the back of the head with my sword.

I landed gracefully with my sword held out to the side, but I was panting.

I stood up and exhaled, "'Helm-Splitter'" My chest was rising and falling much to fast, and I was trying to control my breathing. The battle was not over, not until he gave up.

"You're full of surprises," he said, "but this will finish you."

He reached inside his tunic and pulled out a mask that resembled the face of a goron. I watched as he put it on, and the instant that he did there was a blinding flash, much like the nut he had thrown at me earlier, and after the flash disappeared what I saw standing before was not Link, but a goron!

"Surprised?" he asked in a deep goron voice.

He got down on all fours and curled into a ball, I watched closely, still stunned from the fact he transformed into a goron. He started to roll, getting faster and faster, I had seen a goron do this once before, and right as I realized what was about to happen, Goron-Link shot forward, only his body erupted with spikes! I barely managed to jump out of the way in time.

He shot passed me at full speed, and he started to turn around in a wide arc, giving me enough time to stand up and brace myself for the next attack. I watched as the goron lined himself up with me again, but as he was rushing towards me his spikes vanished, and he suddenly uncurled into a walk.

"Damn!" he cursed. "I've exhausted my magic ability."

At that moment, the blue prisms around us slowly flickered away; we were no longer protected from these otherwise lethal attacks.

"It looks like it's a draw this time," I said, "next time I'm going to have to remember to bring along a pair of iron boots. I could probably manage to stop your goron attack with them... if it weren't for those spikes."

Link chuckled, "Yeah… we'll have to settle this later, but I'll be unable to cast Nayru's Love for quite sometime." Then he added, "And judging from the intensity of this battle, we'll definitely need it."

"What have you boys been up to? I've been looking for you two everywhere!"

Link and I both turned to see Zelda standing there with her arms crossed, with a look of disapproval at us both.

"Honestly! Fighting? As if you two haven't had enough of that in your lives!" Zelda sighed, "Oh well, I suppose boys will be boys, at least now you got it out of your system."

"Hardly," I said.

Zelda looked at me as if she suddenly remembered why she was there, "Oh! I've got great news for you Link!...um.. the not-so-blonde link, we really need to think of some nicknames!… anyways! What would you say if I told you that you could see Midna again?"

The words came so unexpectedly. "But that's impossible," I said, "She shattered the mirror as she left."

Zelda was beaming at me, "You're right, she did shatter the mirror, but I still know of way we could see her again."

"Really? How? What is it?"

Zelda turned to the other Link and asked, "Link, I trust you still have that Ocarina don't you."

"Of course," he said, "but what does that have to do with anything?"

"Hrmph, honestly, do I have to spell it out for you, what is the Ocarina called?"

"The Ocarina of Ti- Ohh!"

"Exactly!" said Zelda.

She turned back to face me, "Link, with the Ocarina of Time I can transport us back to the moment Midna left us, and we can stop her from shattering the mirror."

I felt my heart leap in my chest, "We can?"

"Yes! We can!"

"What are we waiting for?"

"Patience Link, I know how badly you want to see Midna, but I'm not ready yet, I must go prepare and tell everyone what to do in my absence. It was only now that I realized we had the ocarina in our possession again, since Link has returned from Termina. It's a shame this thought hadn't occured to me earlier."

I could feel excitement overtaking me, but I noticed Link wasn't sharing mine and Zelda's enthusiasm, and I asked him, "What's wrong?"

He looked up to me and started to speak, "It's just… well… if you and Zelda reset time, I'll go back to Termina, and I won't have my Ocarina any more."

I felt my heart sink, I couldn't ask him to leave, it would be too selfish of me, but I noticed Zelda walk over to him and wrap her arms around him, "Silly, I lost you once... and I wouldn't let myself lose you again! You're going back in time with us."

I saw him blush inside Zelda's embrace; she probably didn't realize how much that meant to him.

"Of course," she said, "in order for us to do that we wouldn't be resetting time. We'd be sending ourselves back through time as they are now."

"I didn't know you could do that," Link said.

"I never taught you the song to do it, it's very similar to the Song of Time… some slight variation in it though."

" Well, gee," Link said, "If I had known that before I went to Termina it would have made my adventure there a lot easier. Do you have any idea how many rupees, bombs, and arrows I've lost through time?"

Zelda giggled, "but you managed didn't you. Now come, both of you, go wash up, we'll have some dinner and discuss a plan as to what to say to Midna, you know… so she doesn't freak out when she sees us."
