Water temple boss: The author doesn't own the legend of zelda.
Chapter 8: Lake Hylia!
Me: Once we got out of Kakariko village, which I insisted on getting out of as fast as possible, we saw Epona waiting for us. Link mounted first, then helped me up onto Epona, because even I can't do everything. I, once again, sat in front. We started off. I asked him if he knew how to get to Lake Hylia.
Link: Of course I do.
Me: Then I asked him that if it's a water temple, how are we going to breathe.
Link: Well, we get water tunics from the zoras. They'll be happy to help.
Me: Link turned Epona around, and we got off shortly. We jumped into Zora's river, and I had to hold on to Link to keep him from drowning. Ugh. We made it to land, and we headed for the waterfall, the entrance to Zora's Domain. I played Zelda's Lullaby, and the water thinned out enough for us to jump through. Once we were inside, we were greeted with a horrifying sight. The whole place was frozen. The zoras, the water, everything but the rock path and walls. Our jaws dropped. After a few minutes, we walked slowly along the path, stunned. Once we got to where the King Zora was, we seemed to snap out of it. I asked Link who could've done this.
Link: Obviously, Ganondorf. And everyone calls me the stupid one...
Me: I hit him. I turned away from him then. I even took my hot pink hat off. I blinked back tears. Link tapped me on the shoulder, and I turned and cried into him. He was stunned. Then he slowly hugged me. Shortly, I stopped crying and pushed Link away from me. I told him thanks.
Link: So, Miss I-Can-Do-Anything can cry.
Me: I told him to shut up, and that the only thing I can't do is mount Epona. Truth, actually. I dragged him through the opening the King Zora usually sat in front of. We were out where Jabu-Jabu normally was, but he wasn't there, and it was icy out. I pointed out a cave, and we started jumping from flat sheet of ice to flat sheet of ice, until Link slipped and fell into the water. He went under, and I gasped, then dived in to get him. I grabbed him then we resurfaced. I hauled him up onto the ice sheet, and he shivered. I pulled myself up, then helped Link to stand. We made our way to the cave more carefully. We went inside, and once we reached the end we got iron boots after killing a wolfos. Shiek appeared, and taught the serenade of water. I had a bottle of strange fire from the ice cave, so we took it back and defrosted King Zora. He blabbered on about something uselessly, but then gave us two water tunics, thankfully. I didn't want to share a tunic with Link. Once again, I just pulled the water tunic over my hot pink tunic. Link waited until we were out of Zora's Domain to change his tunic. I took out the ocarina and played the serenade of water, warping us to Lake Hylia. We were shocked at how much water was gone from the lake.
Link: A lot happens in seven years...
Me: I told him obviously. We wandered down onto the shoreline and ran down the dirt, until we reached the water. Link had his iron boots on, and he had to tie a rope around me to keep me from floating to the surface of the water, since there was only one pair of boots, unfortunately. Once we got into the water temple, I thought I could take the rope off, and was bitterly disappointed to find out that I had to keep it on. Right before entering the boss room, I disposed of my rope. We beat the boss without hassle, for the first time ever. We jumped up and down, because we were over halfway done. Yeah.
Link: Woohoo! We did it!
Me: I told him we weren't finished yet, but he ignored me. In his excitement, he hugged me then let me go. Once again, we climbed up onto Epona, and realized we didn't know where we had to go. Oh, I forgot to mention that we did in fact shoot the sun and get the fire arrows. Anyways, Link just got Epona into motion, not worrying about where we were supposed to go. Link groaned again, since I was once again leaning back into him. Link shifted in the saddle a few times, and a few minutes later, I felt something poking into me. My face went red when I realized what it was... Next chapter: Chapter 9: Back to Kakariko Village!
