Okay so it turned out to be a short writers block

The tunnel was dark, but unlike the previous areas of cave, it was smooth and dry. Wherever they were, it wasn't a natural cave. Ganondorf looked around the cave, though his eyes reported nothing back to him.

"This isn't exactly very useful."

In response, Zelda conjured up a blue light in her right hand. Ganondorf glanced at her, surprised though he tried not to show it.

Zelda smiled "I do have magic that doesn't require the triforce Ganondorf."

He snorted "I knew that. I just wondered why you chose blue, pink suits someone as girly as you much better!"

Zelda scowled and purposely made sure the light was as blue as possible. Suddenly her foot hit a small bump in the floor and she went tumbling to the ground. The light went out and Ganondorf tripped over her foot, sent sprawling as well.

He cursed "What happened?!"

"I tripped."

"Over what?! The ground is completely smooth!"

Zelda took a deep breath and counted to ten, it was amazing how hard it was to control her emotions without the triforce. She brought up the light again and stood up, examining the object she had tripped over.

"It looks like a bundle of spikes!"

Ganondorf joined her in examination "No the spikes are attached to something, kinda like fur."

"You're right, it looks like their attached to a tail, or maybe tentacle."

Both their eyes widened in realization as the cave they were in began to brighten, a certain creature beginning to glow with a pretty white light.

For some reason, the most dangerous things in the caves had a tendency to be quite beautiful. The creature's millions of tiny eyeballs each gave off a white light, the fangs in its moths were pearly, the lips surrounding them like white velvet, the tentacles swayed like feathers in the wind, and the quills covering the creature's tentacles were glass-like, shining in the light. It looked nothing so much as a diamond-encrused chandelier.

But the eyes could see any weakness, the fangs penetrate any armor, the tentacles ensnare any prey, and the quills contained pure poison. It was without a doubt: death. It was without a doubt: Muerte.

A hundred eyelids snapped shut, and the cavern was once again plunged into darkness. There was a whoosh of air and a mass of quills slammed into the ground where Ganondorf and Zelda had been two seconds earlier. The allies had leapt to the left and right, now ignorant of where the other was.

Muerte moved again, and this time Ganondorf heard Zelda scream. One of Muerte's eyes opened, illuminating the cavern like a flash of lightning, just long enough for Ganondorf to spot Zelda across the cavern. She wasn't captured, and he didn't see any blood. It was possible she had only been hit by a flying stone perhaps? He sighed, that meant she wasn't poisoned. Ganondorf heard a woosh through the air and he swung his sword out, blocking one tentacle while the others crashed harmlessly around him. Ganondorf rolled out from under the one his sword held at bay and jumped over another that hissed through the air near his feet.

Ganondorf shouted across the room "What do we do?!"

Zelda opened her mouth to shout out a plan, only to find that she didn't have one ready "I-I don't know."

"What?! You always have a plan! You're the guardian of wisdom!"

Zelda shook her head in despair "I don't have the triforce Ganondorf! I don't think I can do anything without it!"

Ganondorf shook his head "Don't be foolish, it wouldn't have chosen you if that were true."

They both dodged another quill bundle and Zelda bit her lip "Well it can't hear us, its just attacking blindly unless it opens one of its eyes. And its eyes must be its weak point… but I-I think that's what the gun is for. Even if we had a bow, we couldn't shoot fast enough."

Ganondorf dodged another tentacle "Well we don't have the gun! So think of something else!"

Zelda shook her head "I-I don't think there is anything else! Maybe if we stall…"

"Stall?! You're letting the fear get to you Zelda, if you were thinking strait then you'd know that you won't be able to hold out that long."

Zelda realized with a jolt that he was right, she was already tiring, but Ganondorf might be able to hold out. She didn't have the triforce anymore, so Ganondorf was the only one that needed to survive.

So she lied "I'll be fine, I-I have a spell to replenish my energy."

Ganondorf snarled, about to reply. Zelda was really bad at lying, anyone could tell if she was telling the truth or not the second she spoke. Suddenly he closed his mouth, why did he care? Why should it concern him?

Chamber of the Sages

"You're brother is in trouble."

"He stopped being my brother a long time ago Saria."

"Grown-ups are so silly sometimes! Why are you all so determined to think that he's bad?"

"It took me a long time to realize it, but my brother is gone for good."

"But he's not! If you would just…"

"Don't Saria. Don't. He's gone."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I watched him leave. And I didn't stop him in time."

"Give him one more chance."

"He's gone."

"That's what Mido told me when Link died. But you know what? They're never really gone, just waiting for when someone needs them. After all, how do you think the new Link learned all the hidden skills?"

Silence.

"One more try."

There was a presence next to Ganondorf, one that was familiar.

"Do you want to save her Ganondorf?"

Ganondorf frowned "There's no reason for me too."

"But do you want to?"

Ganondorf paused, then

"Yes. It doesn't make sense but I do."

"Tell her."

"You've got to be kidding-"

"Tell her."

Ganondorf gritted his teeth against his pride "Zelda, you better come up with a new plan, because there's no way in all of Hyrule, no, in the entire universe, no way I'm going to let you die."

A few feet below, Ganondorf's sword burst into light In Link's hand.

There was something Ganondorf had never found out about his sword: the sword was usually wielded by golems, but when wielded by a living being, it could take emotions and turn them into power. And Ganondorf had just stopped denying the most powerful feeling of the heart, allowing it to flow to the sword:

Ganondorf had just admitted to himself that he loved Zelda.

Back in the chamber of sages, Saria grinned "I told you that he had another reason not to betray them."

The floor burst open like an orange under an anvil, but neither Ganondorf nor Zelda dropped even an inch. Muerte slammed its quills into the side if the cave to stop itself from falling.

And when the floor stopped falling away, there were five heroes staring up at them: Egon, Itzal, Lilith, Midna, and Link. Muerte opened all of its eyes to see what was happening. Seven bullets sped up from the depths of the cavern, as they sped though the air, and all of them found their mark.

Muerte tumbled from the cavern ceiling, plunging to the stone far below. Lilith sped out of the way, Egon on her back. Midna and Itzal snatched Link up and hauled him into the air. Muerte slammed into the stone floor below, dead.

Egon stared at the dead beast, and only one word seemed to sum up his feeling "holy "

Midna smacked Cover "I told you he'd remember that word."
