Ganondorf followed Sir Giffard through the streets of hyrule. "So are you going to tell me where are we're going?"
Sir Giffard smiled "We're visiting my house, I have a present there for you."
"What's a present?"
"An object you give to show your appreciation."
"Oh."
Ganondorf had never been to his master's house. Sir Giffard had wanted to let him stay there but the majority of the knights had wanted to keep Ganondorf under watch, so he slept at Hyrule castle.
"Here we are."
The outside of the house was nothing special, it was made of stone and had a red roof. The inside was a one room with nothing but a table and a bed.
Sir Giffard headed toward the bed and started pulling at something beneath it "Drat, it's stuck. You know most people say this place needs a woman's touch, I suppose it does, but I haven't met someone I want to be my wife yet."
"I woman's touch?"
"You know, flowers and such." He laughed when he saw Ganondorf's confused expression "Sorry, I forgot what type of women you're raised by. Ah there we go!"
The object came loose from the bed with a clunk and Ganondorf's eyes widened. It was a sword, but the strangest sword he had ever seen. For starters it was huge, more than half Sir Giffard's height and width. It was mostly rectangle shaped, with a flattened football shape at the end. While it was mostly flat, the edge of the blade looked as though it could cut through the thickest of armor. The part that was flat was covered in runes.
Sir Giffard smiled at Ganondorf's expression "I thought you'd like it. This is a sword that is usually used by golem knights, a living knight barely has the strength to hold it up, much less wield it."
He tilted the blade so it caught the sunlight "I've heard that Gerudo men grow to be amazingly strong, and I have confidence that if you work at it hard enough, then you'll eventually be able to master it. You're still too small right now, but I though you might as well start trying."
Midna, Link, and Ganondorf materialized in the sacred grove. Link picked up his bow and arrows. He smiled, the quiver was a few short, Skull Kid must have had some fun. He slung it over his shoulder and made his way over to the master sword. As soon as he touched it the master sword's sheath appeared on his back. He pulled it from its pedestal, the ring of the metal almost musical. He couldn't help but grin, the sword felt so right in his hand, like it was part of him. He gave a few experimental slashes before sheathing it.
Midna smiled, he looks just as heroic as the first time he received the sword. Ganondorf just rolled his eyes and headed toward the door leading to the temple of time. He tapped the doors that looked like they lead nowhere, hoping that he wouldn't have to ask Link to open them for him. They remained firmly shut and Ganondorf sighed.
"Hey mutt boy! Could you stop admiring you shiny little sword and open these already?!"
Midna glared at Ganondorf but Link obligingly came over to the doors, he looked at Midna. She sighed and joined them.
Link walked toward the doors and sent a mental request to them,"would you let us in please?"
The doors swung open, revealing the watery looking barrier between the sacred grove and the temple of time.
Link and Midna walked through calmly but Ganondorf was a little slower, eyeing the doors with caution, half afraid they would slam shut on him. Finally he walked through the barrier and into the temple of time.
"Awww, is the big bad Gerudo scared of a wittle door?"
Ganondorf glared at her "Just- shut up."
He stomped over to the pedestal in the temple of time and up the blue steps made of light in front of them.
Link sighed and looked at Midna pleadingly.
Midna rolled her eyes "Well did you see him? He was practically wetting his pants!"
Link sighed and followed Ganondorf into the inner temple. He hoped all the monsters were gone by now.
But Link realized as soon as he entered the doors, that they had no idea where Ganondorf had gone.
Ganondorf was far ahead of the other two by the time they had even entered the temple. To his delight an armos tried to stop him in one of the first few rooms, giving his something to take out his anger on. The blue golem was reduced to a pile of sand before it even swung its hammer.
Since he was both taller and stronger that Link and Midna put together, Ganondorf just smashed through the obstacles that had given the two so much trouble. Soon he reached his destination: Darknut's chamber.
He picked his way through the discarded armor left behind by the now motionless knight-golem until he found the giant sword that the creature had been using, his sword. He grinned, his first smile in centuries that didn't have malice in it, and swung it onto his shoulder, the metal meeting his armor with a familiar chink of metal on metal.
Of all the things that had happened while he had been an apprentice, getting the sword was the one thing he never regreted.
