Link: You're only re-typing the last part you cut short at the end of the last chapter? This is gonna be the LAMEST excuse for a chapter EVER!
Well, you'll have to wade through some original material to get to that point. Hehehehehee….
Link: Oh? Original material? As in what?
Three words: Four. Swords. Adventures.
(Other three Links appear spontaneously)
Other Links: Yay! We get a mention!
Oh, it's more than a mention…Mwahahahahahahaha…
Isaac (from Golden Sun): Skip, peon reviewers! Skip this rant and save yourselves! Skip to the story! Ahead lies salvation from the Spoilers of DOOM!

That night, Link and Ezlo, the latter being dubbed the "Amazing Minish Throwing Dart," had to camp out in the vicinity of North Hyrule Field. Fortunately for them, this was not a parody of Ocarina of Time; otherwise they would be fighting off hordes of Stalfos. No, this was not the case, but instead Ezlo was sawing logs while Link mulled over what he simply dismissed as his "thoughts."
He sighed and took out the Fire Element, raising it up so the moonlight would reflect off its crystalline surface, making it sparkle with an otherworldly light. The young hero remembered he had taken it with him as a good-luck charm; he had wanted to try and woo Zelda the day of the festival. Now it was the key to saving her.
Or one of the keys.
Link sighed boredly as he continued to stare at the artifact. He paid no heed to the subtle vibration he felt on his back….
"Zelda…." Link shot up as the name echoed across the breeze, yet at the same time was only in his mind. He stared at the Fire Element as the voice came again. "Where is Zelda?"
Link surveyed his surroundings carefully for the speaker. He was convinced it was some kind of trick…maybe Vaati was nearby and toying with his mind. He hated that guy.
"Vaati? Where?" The voice sounded worried suddenly. "Did he get Zelda?"
"No, I don't think he did, or would even want to," Link said aloud. "Why would he want to cart around a statue, after all?"
"All right…she'll…be okay…right Green? Please tell me she'll…be okay!"
Green? Who the hell was green? "My name's Link," he called into the night. "I may wear green, but that doesn't mean you can call me that."
"Link…but aren't you the Green Link?"
"What, you're talking like there are other Links or something bizarro like that." Then something unexpected happened…was the voice…laughing? Yes, it was giggling like a small child would when they were amused.
"Heeheehee, what, you don't recognize my voice or anything?"
And then it hit him. It was like being whacked upside the head with a lead brick. Which is none too pleasant. In fact, the only difference was that this realization had no accompanying pain, only the afterward stun.
That was his voice.
"Okay, how the hell am I talking to MYSELF?" Link shouted rather annoyed.
"I dunno, blame the Fire Element. And…well, I'm you but I'm not you. It's really confusing. But we'll meet up soon Green. In the meanwhile, I'm tired."
And the voice was gone….
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The next morning, Link continued trudging half-asleep through Hyrule Field. Step, step, yawn, step. On and on and on. No breakfast even; that was primarily his own fault as he didn't pack any food.
Into the castle, past the apathetic guards, resist urge to cling to the stone Zelda, walk, yawn, stretch, keep going. Link found the courtyard and entered the sanctuary and infused the White Sword with the elements, which made the hilt change color and made the blade shinier. Gotta remember the shininess.
"Link, the tablet over there that mysteriously phased into existence gives you instructions to clone yourself," Ezlo squawked. Link followed said instructions….
And then there were two; one in green, one in red.
The red Link turned toward the original with a broad smile. "See Green? I told you we'd meet up soon!"
Green Link's jaw dropped. "You're me! How the hell are you me?"
Red Link shrugged. "Blame the White Sword. You probably didn't notice it vibrating last night."
"Link, how the hell are there two of you?" inquired Ezlo.
Both Links raised their blades at the same time. "The White Sword!"
Green Link struck a heroic pose. "And we're one step closer to clobbering Vaati!"
"Yeah, but…" Red Link whimpered, "Vaati's kinda scary…."
Green fell over Anime-style.
So the Authoress, bored with this scene, skipped ahead. AGAIN.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"I see you hero!"
Link turned to face the tree with a look of annoyance. "Yeah, I can see you too Vaati. Sitting in a tree with a megaphone ain't the smartest thing, now is it?"
Vaati said nothing, only climbed down uttering a string of curse words.
"I have no idea what you just said," confessed Link.
Vaati repeated the curse word string again. "AfahtjkjahrvjihgnahithagahvgtnnhfhfiahBEEP!"
Link raised an eyebrow, still confused as hell.
"He's pulling a Jenna," Ezlo whispered in the hero's ear.
"Humph. You really annoy me, hero," Vaati announced. "So, I will have to do away with you…."
Time froze at the dramatic scene about to occur as the screen faded out.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Well, there you have it.
Red: YAYAYAYAY! I GET A PART!
Now, you gotta remember Red: NO SOCK PUPPETS!
Red: Fine…
Link (aka Green): So you inserted a FSA twist? Intriguing….
Vaati: Humph.
All: Errmmm….
Vaati: What? Saying that makes me sound cool. Now if I could get the cape flourish right….
Zelda: Hey, what about meeeeeee?
Review, before the Krug steal your monitor and think it's an artifact used for necromancery!
Link: Playing a little too much Dungeon Siege, were we?
