Aid is sent to Gamelon.
"Zelda!" The King stated hurriedly, wasting no time getting straight down to business. He began pointing around to express the haste which he must take regarding this matter. "Duke Onkled is under attack by the evil forces of Ganon!" The King exclaimed, raising his hand to illustrate this fact. "I'm going to Gamelon to aid him!" The King stated moving briskly closer to Zelda.
Zelda had an unsettling feeling in her heart, she turned to her father, her arms raised in the traditional Hyrule gesture of worry. "But father what if something happens to you?" She asked with a worried look on her face. The King began to explain why she should not feel so concerned whilst swatting a fly out of the air in front of him. "I'll take the Triforce of Courage to protect me." He stated, stepping away from Zelda again as he informed her of his plan. "If you don't hear from me in a month, send Link!" He finished, turning his back on her and looking over at his friend and greatest warrior Link.
"Impa!" Zelda protested, to the wise old nursemaid. Impa told Zelda in a re-assuring tone. "Don't worry Zelda" As she said this she began pointing at a magical triangle which was claimed to be the Triforce of Wisdom, it's actual estimated street value being 5 rupees. The sneaky old woman sprayed an undetectable hallucinogenic gas into the room as she spoke, and on this cheap triangle appeared an image of a mighty ship, sailing away towards the horizon. "The Triforce of Wisdom promises the King will safely return." She told them all in a reassuring tone, as she said so, the imagery changed from the King's ship to him walking away, victory in hand and a clear expression of happiness on his face at the sheer horrors he had caused his enemies in the bloodbaths he took part in.
"Enough!" The King cried out, slapping Link across the face. "My ship sails in the morning" The King stated assertively, indirectly telling Zelda, there would be no arguing with his decision. The King had long had a fondness for his dear cousin Duke Onkled. Duke Onkled was the beloved ruler of Gamelon. He believed in fairness and justice, that every person should have a say in how their country is run. He would often be seen in town with his subjects, asking them to visit him and inform him of their problems, and discuss the laws and policies of the country so he knew what the people wanted. It was said, people even came to think of him as family and he would invite anyone who wanted to into his castle should they be suffering in hard times.
The King's mind immediately switched to more pressing matters, as he would not sail till the break of dawn the next morning. "I wonder what's for dinner?" He enquired. Link and the King then magically swivelled around each other, so that the King then had his back to Zelda and Link was now facing her and the King. "Oh boy!" Link exclaimed. "I'm so hungry..." He said, rubbing his stomach with both hands before looking back at the King. "I could eat an Octorok!" Link waved his arms out expressing to the King the massive scale of Octoroks he had encountered during his adventures in Koridai.
Link had returned from Koridai a changed person. No longer a boy, he had learnt what it meant to be a hero, he was sure now, that whilst he always had much to learn, he could take on any challenge that came at him. For he had endured so many hardships and trials in Koridai, nothing scared him now.
The King, as he had fortold did indeed set sail in the morning. Zelda wished she could go along with him, and make sure everything went well, but she knew that once the King had decided something, there was no turning back. The King left with his personal guard Fari as Zelda watched tearfully. She wondered, if this would be the last time she saw him. Once the King reached Gamelon, he stepped off the boat to tremendous applause from the Gamelonians, and Duke Onkled approached him. The two cousins hugged, being closer than brothers and took an evening to enjoy wine and dinner, for the next morning, they would face trials and battles as brothers in arms.
A month passed since the King's voyage. "Ahhh... a whole month gone..." Zelda began sighing "And still no word!" She concluded, putting her hand to her eye in despair, trying to wipe away a tear. It was no use, the fair princess felt tears roll down her cheeks and put both hands over her face to hide them. Impa, wishing to comfort her with her giant hands put one on her shoulder and told her "I'm certain he's alright..." Zelda pulled her hands away and smiled in response to this reassurance. She could not completely get rid of the bad feeling she had in her heart though.
"YEAH!" Link interjected slapping his thigh, "That old Ganon's no match for the King!" As Link finished this statement he flexed his muscles to display how much respect and admiration he had for the wise strong King. Zelda approached Link, realising that he should after his adventure in Koridai be able to defeat Ganon again. "Link, Go to Gamelon, and find my Father!" Zelda ordered him with a hand on his shoulder. Link, took a step away from her "Great! I can't wait to bomb some Dodongos!" He exclaimed punching the air in front of him. Zelda decided not to question why he didn't go with the King in the first place. Link then exploded into a cloud which said "Later still" which Zelda also didn't question.
Zelda, waited longer, and eventually decided to take assertive action. "Wake up Impa!" She shouted at the poor old lady who was sleeping, awakening her and almost giving her a heart attack. She began waving a lit candle in her face. "We're going to Gamelon!" Impa, knowing that Zelda had her father's stubbornness and assertiveness realised there was no reasoning with her. She yawned and got out of bed. "Alright dear..." She said sleepily stifling another yawn. "I'll get the Triforce of Wisdom..."
They set sail, the last aid Hyrule sent Gamelon. Princess Zelda and Impa. What lay ahead, what trials, horrors and friends there were to meet, in Gamelon, they did not know, but they went on courageously regardless.
