Just remember I don't have any rights to any Detective Conan, Magic Kaito, or Zelda characters.

I have been waiting to write this chapter since I first started writing this story. I can't wait to hear what you think.

xXx

Shinichi sat resting on a rock somewhere in Hyrule Field. He took a sip of Lon Lon milk before turning his attention to Ai, his fairy, "We are half way there, just three more medallions to go. KID told us vague locations of all the medallions, and we already got the one in the deep forest and the one on a high mountain. The only clues left are one under a vast lake, one within the house of the dead, and one within a goddess of sand. Where should we go next?"

"I have been thinking about that myself. I think the easiest medallion to go after next would be the one under a vast lake. KID must have been talking about Lake Hylia," Ai mused.

"So our next destination is the lake….or it would be if I had gills. KID's directions were 'under a vast lake.' This medallion might be a bit harder to achieve than the first two," Shinichi groaned.

Silence drew between them as they both thought of how to get under the lake. After a moment, Ai finally spoke, "The Zoras, they may have a way. They gave you that silver scale that allowed you to dive deeper, maybe they have something else that would be of use to 'land walkers'."

Shinichi winced, "I thought of that myself, but I was hoping one of us might come up with something better. I don't want to run into Princess Sonoko."

Ai gave her companion a cheeky grin, "What's this? You don't want to see your fiancée? I guess you would have a hard time telling her about your relationship with KID, and does she know about your secret crush on Prince Kaito?"

Shinichi choked on his milk, "W-What? Sonoko wasn't serious about that engagement thing! And no, I won't have a hard time telling her about my friendship with KID! Also, I do not have a secret crush on the Prince of Hyrule. I only met him once, for goddesses sake! When we were both children! You are being completely illogical."

Ai sighed dramatically, "Love is illogical Shinichi. But this argument has gone on long enough, let's go to the Zora river." Shinichi began grumbling under his breath as he stomped in the direction of the river.

xXx

Shinichi paled, "What happened here?"

They had arrived at the Zora Domain only to find the place to be completely frozen. The waterfall that Shinichi had once dived from as a child looked like a huge icicle, and the water that normally pulled around the walkways looked like crystal glass. There wasn't a sign of the Zoras anywhere.

Ai's fairy glow was a bit dim, "It's obvious, isn't it? Gin's evil must have spread here as well. We shouldn't be surprised, remember the state of the forest before we awakened Ran? Or the dark clouds around Death Mountain? It makes sense that it would reach here as well."

"Let's have a look around. Maybe we will find someone or something that could help us," the hero suggested. He made his way to the Zora throne room. Sitting on his throne was the King, who was completely encased in what looked like red glass. On closer examination, Shinichi found out that it wasn't glass, but was actually ice.

"This red ice is enchanted. It won't be easy to melt it. The best way to combat magic is with magic," Ai told him.

The hero nodded, "Well I can't do anything for him at the moment, let's continue searching. Something tells me that if the Zoras are doing this bad, Jabu-Jabu must be worse."

Shinichi walked outside and found the small lake that the giant fish normally swam in to be empty. It was very cold and the lake had small patches of ice floating here and there. Shinichi squinted his eyes looking into the distance, "I think I see a cave across the lake. If I hop across the ice, I think I can get to it."

"Fine, but if you fall in and freeze to death, it was your idea, not mine," Ai replied.

Shinichi rolled his eyes, "I'm not going to fall in." He easily jumped to the first iceberg and looked at his fairy with a satisfied smile. Ai sighed and gestured for him to continue. Shinichi jumped and sprang, and the shore was getting farther and farther away. At one point Shinichi slipped, but luckily he landed on the ice rather than in the freezing water. Eventually he made it across to the cave.

The inside of the cave looked like a winter wonderland from hell. Several inches of ice and snow covered the floor and several stalagmites made entirely from ice rose up from the floor looking like claws. Some sort of ice monster was slowly sliding toward Shinichi. It was about as tall as he was and looked like a horned creature carved from a block of ice.

"That is a freezard. It's very slow moving, but if one manages to sneak up on you, its breath will freeze you," Ai told the hero.

Shinichi nodded and decided to avoid the creature altogether. He ran past the slow moving enemy and made his way deeper through the cave. As he walked, he heard a strange cracking noise and a stalactite fell from the ceiling spearing the ground below, landing inches from Shinichi's right boot. Shinichi looked up and saw several of the large, icy daggers hanging on the ceiling.

As he made his way deeper inside the cave, Shinichi found a room of some sort with a giant spinning blade made completely of ice. "This proves that this cavern is guarding something. The freezards could just live here, but a giant spinning blade of death that is carved completely of ice? Somebody made that, and it wasn't just for fun," Shinichi reasoned.

The blade spun counter-clockwise and Shinichi stood just out of its reach. From where he stood, he could see five switches placed on the walls around the room. It looked like he would have to press all five to gain access to the next part of the cave. The blade wasn't much of a challenge because it was high enough that he could simply duck whenever it passed by.

As he made his way deeper, Shinichi found another room with switches placed around the walls. Unfortunately, the switches were placed much too high for him to reach. He was able to find a large block that he could climb up and use as a boost, and the floor was slick with ice, so he was able to slide it around quite easily.

The hero had just reached the last switch when he saw something strange across the room. It looked like fire, but the flame was a chilly blue color. He pushed the block to the ledge it was resting on so that he could get a closer look at it. Ai had been resting under his hat as a way of keeping warm, but she poked her tiny head out now, "That blue fire is enchanted. You can carry it in a bottle and it won't burn the glass or go out from lack of oxygen. Also, this blue fire can put out the red ice we saw around the Zora King."

"I guess I better grab some than," Shinichi scooped some of the fire into a bottle and stuffed it into one of his pockets.

Shinichi continued on and made it to the end of the cavern. He could see a chest against the back wall, but a White Wolfos stood guard in front of it. The giant wolf stood on two legs and tried to claw at Shinichi with his front two paws. It snared exposing its long fangs, its red eyes glared.

Shinichi slashed out with his sword, but the white wolf dodged away from it. The canine monster was very agile on its feet, despite the fact that it stood on only two unlike a regular wolf. A fierce battle ensued, but the green clad hero saw an opening and was able to hit the Wolfos's tail. The tail proved to be the creatures weak point and the wolf ran away after Shinichi's one and only successful hit.

Shinichi went to the chest and opened it. Inside was a pair of boots, much like his own, except the heel and toe of each boot was encased in iron, making the boots very heavy. "I wonder what I'm supposed to do with these," Shinichi thought out loud.

"You will find those boots to be very useful when you take on the water temple," a new voice spoke from behind him.

Shinichi turned around with an affectionate smile on his face, "Hello KID."

Judging from his visible eyes, KID most likely was giving the hero a smile of his own, "Time passes, people move…like a river's flow, and it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition…young love will become deep affection…the clear water's surface reflects growth."

Shinichi shook his head, "You and your poetry." His tone was playful.

KID smiled at Shinichi, than his expression turned somber, "If you are looking for the Zoras, you are too late. They are frozen underneath the ice. This ice was created by the curse of the monster in Water Temple. Unless the monster is defeated, the ice will never melt."

Shinichi frowned, "Than it is clear what I must do."

KID regarded him for a moment before speaking, "I did manage to save Princess Sonoko, but she has left for the Water Temple. I tried to stop her, but she is very stubborn."

Shinichi blinked, "Oh, well at least she is safe. That's good news."

KID's visible eye narrowed, "Yes, I suppose it is good news that your fiancée is safe."

Shinichi's jaw dropped. He tried to speak, but his brain and mouth didn't seem to want to work together at the moment. He finally yelled out, "There is nothing going on between me and that crazy girl!"

KID cocked his head to the side, "Really, because according to the Princess, you two are engaged to be married. She tells anyone who will listen, and many that don't want to."

Shinichi groaned, "Yes, really. There is nothing going on between me and her. She is insane. Why would you believe something like that? I didn't know you could be so irrational."

KID smiled, "Forget it, hero. I was being silly. Let me teach you the melody that leads to the temple, the Serenade of Water."

Shinichi pulled out his ocarina and allowed KID to teach him the tranquil water song.

xXx

Shinichi was walking around the Zora domain. If he looked close enough at the ice, he could see the Zora frozen underneath. If he didn't succeed in the water temple, they would remain there forever. And it wouldn't end with Zoras, Gin wanted all of Hyrule. If someone didn't stop Gin, if he didn't stop Gin, than Gin would take all of Hyrule….but how was he supposed to get to the temple under the lake?

"Shinichi, you still have a jar of enchanted blue fire left over, you can use it to free the Zora King. The red ice around him is different from the cursed ice trapping the rest of the Zora," Ai spoke up while riding on his shoulder.

The hero nodded and made his way to the throne room. He dumped the blue fire from the jar onto the enchanted ice trapping the king. The ice melted at an unnaturally fast speed and left the Zora King untouched. As soon as he was free, the king took a great lung full of air, "I have been brought back to life!" The king blinked and noticed Shinichi, "You there, I know you….you were the one that saved my daughter seven years ago from Jabu-Jabu's belly! Are you also the one that freed me from my icy prison?"

Shinichi nodded, "Yes I did, your majesty. But I have some terrible news, Gin has cursed your kingdom. Your people are sleeping under ice that cannot be melted unless the beast in the Water Temple is defeated." He decided at the last minute to not tell him about his daughter. The king had enough problems and he didn't have enough information to tell him. All he knew was that the princess had left for the temple. Maybe she hadn't made it inside? "Your majesty, I intend to go to the temple myself and slay the beast that is inside."

The king squared his shoulders, "Is that so? Then it would be in my best interest to aid you as best as I can. You are a land creature, and therefore cannot breath underwater. To go to the temple as you are now would be foolish and suicidal as the temple is said to be at the bottom of Lake Hylia. But, I have a way for you to breath underwater. Take this tunic; it was made by a Hylian man a long time ago. Legend says that a land walker fell in love with a Zora woman. The Zora could not survive for long away from the water, so he made this tunic so that he could join her.* When you wear this tunic, you will be able to breathe underwater as if you were breathing your precious land oxygen."

Shinichi smiled and gave a small bow of thanks.

xXx

Shinichi stood in the cover of some bushes and began to remove his traditional green tunic. Ai was on the other side watching for enemies and peeping toms. She began to speak, "It's a good thing you got that new tunic that allows you to breathe underwater. Without it, I think this temple would be impossible."

Shinichi forgot Ai wasn't looking at him and nodded, "Yeah about that, what are you going to do? I mean, if you need it, I might be able to make a fairy size tunic out of a piece I tear off or something….not that I'm any good at sewing."

Ai chuckled, "Good goddesses, no thanks. We fairies have our own way of breathing underwater. We form a sort of bubble around our body."

"Oh, handy," he commented as he pulled the new tunic over his head. The tunic was exactly like his green one except it was blue. The material felt a little different too, like it was lighter and wouldn't weigh him down while swimming.

"So about your last meeting with KID…" Ai paused and Shinichi tensed, "he seemed to get a little jealous when Princess Sonoko was brought into the conversation."

Shinichi blushed and mumbled, "…..I don't know what you are talking about….."

Ai continued, "I also noticed you were quick to set him straight on the truth."

Shinichi scrambled out of the bushes fully dressed in his new tunic and ran as fast as he could in the direction of Lake Hylia, "Ai, hurry up! We have a temple to conquer!"

xXx

The first thing Shinichi noticed at the lake was that the water level had dropped a lot. That probably wasn't a good sign, but there wasn't much he could do about it. "I guess it's time to put on the iron boots and test out this tunic," Shinichi spoke a little nervously.

He pulled on the boots and dragged his feet to the water. The boots were so heavy! He walked until the water was put to his neck and paused. He took a couple calming breaths and continued out farther till he was completely submerged underwater. At first he held his breath, he couldn't help it, the idea of just breathing normally underwater was a little frightening. Now that he thought about it, did anyone even really know if the tunic worked?

Well there was no going back now. Shinichi drew in a breath…and found he could breath just fine. He smiled in relief and continued walking. Deeper and deeper he went till he was in the center of the lake. He could see the temple now, it was getting more clear with each step he took, slowly materializing out of the gloom.

He entered and made his way through the front entrance hall in the direction of the main room. The hall sloped upward and Shinichi was forced to remove the heavy boots so that he could swim up the sharp incline. He was surprised when his head broke the water's surface. It would seem that part of the temple wasn't flooded. He walked forward and let out a gasp, the main room was three levels deep. It would seem the temple sank deep into the earth below even the lake itself. What was more, two of the levels were flooded, the third one (the one he was standing in) was not.

It was like the entire temple was shaped like a tree. The main room was actually three levels and would be thought of as the 'trunk' of the tree. Other rooms and hallways 'branched' off of the 'trunk' on all three levels. (A/N Don't laugh at my analogy, I was actually quite proud of it.)

Shinichi groaned when he saw the size of the temple, this would take awhile. Where to even start? As if she could read his mind, Ai spoke up, "I can sense something….I think we need to start at the bottom level. Put your iron boots back on, we need to dive."

He pulled his boots back on, something told him he was going to be doing this a lot. He dove into the water and allowed himself to sink to the bottom. As soon as his feet touched bottom, Ai flew to a doorway. It had two torches on either side of it, both unlit of course. He followed her as fast as he could and found himself in a small room. Standing in the center of the room was a ten year older Princess Sonoko.

The princess saw him and her eyes widened, "Are you…Shinichi? Is that you? The years have been very kind to you~" She winked at him. "You recognize me, don't you? It's me, your fiancée, Princess Sonoko."

Shinichi made a small gargling noise. He opened his mouth to speak, but only bubbles came out. It would seem that even though he could breath underwater, he couldn't speak underwater.

The princess giggled, "I haven't forgotten those vows we made to each other seven years ago. The way you looked me in the eyes, held my hand, and asked me to marry you. Sigh, I think time has only made my love for you grow stronger."

Shinichi slapped his palms to his face. The bubbles were coming out faster now.

Princess Sonoko gave her head a shake, "But now is not the time to talk about love. I'm sure you have seen it by now, the Zora Domain...it's completely frozen. A young man named KID managed to save me but the others…my father….I want to save them all! I want to save the Zora Domain! You have to help me. As your future wife, I demand that you help me save them. Inside this temple, there are three places where the water level can be raised and lowered. This will be great help to you to navigate through the temple. I will lead the way, you follow as best as you can." When she finished speaking, the Zora princess began swimming up toward the ceiling. It would seem this room had more than one level to it as well. Shinichi tried to follow her with his eyes, but the room was to dark and he eventually lost her in the gloom.

He turned his attention to his fairy, but she simply shrugged her tiny shoulders. Her expression said it all, might as well follow her. He removed his iron boots again and without the heavy weights, he began to float to the top. He passed from the third level to the second, but all he saw there was a crack in the wall that would be the perfect for a bomb if it wasn't for all the water. He allowed himself to float higher and made it to the first level, the top most level. Once again, this level wasn't submerged in water.

There was no sign of the princess but there was a single door so it wasn't hard to figure out where she must have went. He went through the door, which slammed and locked behind him. He rolled his eyes and prepared himself for the fight that was sure to come.

He was a little disappointed when all that appeared was four Spike monsters. The small silver spike balls circled around him, but he was able to use his Hookshot to fight them from a distance. Defeating them was laughably easy. It wasn't until the last one was gone that he noticed Princess Sonoko was nowhere to be seen. "That's odd, there is only one door going in and out, but she isn't here. She just…vanished" Shinichi commented.

"Shinichi look, it's the symbol of the Royal Family. And there is an inscription underneath. It says, 'Those who wish to open the path sleeping at the bottom of the lake must play the song of the Royal Family.' This must be what Sonoko was talking about earlier," Ai said as she examined the carving.

Shinichi pulled out his ocarina and began playing Kaito's lullaby. At the song's finish, he heard a sucking noise and looked down to see that the water level was quickly draining. The water continued draining until even the bottom level was dry. He used his Hookshot to lower himself to the third level.

xXx

What felt like hours later, Shinichi was cursing the designers of the temple for how complicated they had built the thing. The place was huge, and not only that, but he frequently had to raise and lower the damn water levels, which meant repeatedly changing his boots. For some reason that was beyond him, the boots were only heavy when he wore them, but that didn't mean he didn't get tired of having to stop and change them over and over again.

"You know Ai, after we conquer this temple, I'm not sure I will ever be able to enjoy swimming again," he complained. He looked at his fairy when she didn't reply, "Ai? What is it?"

It was hard to tell, what with how small she was, but he thought she looked tense. She turned to him and answered with a frown, "That room up ahead, I can sense something….strange in there. It seems almost familiar, and yet totally alien at the same time. Whatever it is, it's dangerous. I don't like it."

Shinichi frowned at her words. The fairy had rarely been wrong during their journey, so he took what she said seriously.

He entered the next room and stopped walking immediately. Was he still in the Water Temple? Was he dreaming? The room in front of him looked…well it didn't look like a room at all! It looked like he might be outside. The floor was covered in a couple inches of water which reflected the rest of his surroundings like a perfect mirror no matter what angle he looked at it. The sky was a sickly, light green color and the horizon seemed to stretch on forever. The only thing he could see was a dead tree about 20 paces in front of him, some ruins in the distance, and a door some 30 paces from him. He turned around to look at the door he had come through, it looked identical to the door across from him. Overall, the entire "room" looked like a Salvador Dali painting.

He slowly made his way to the door, he stayed on guard but he couldn't see any enemies. It looked like he was alone. Once he was even with the tree, he turned and looked at it sideways. For some reason, the tree filled him with dread and he fought to keep his normal walking pace. He would love to run like hell from the creepy tree, but heroes didn't run from trees, no matter how uncanny they looked.

He reached the door but it was locked. This could only mean one of two things, he either had to solve a puzzle to unlock it, or defeat some enemy. His eyes scanned in every direction and didn't see any creatures, so it was probably the second option. And the only thing around to inspect was the dead tree. Well shit….

He turned around and began walking back to the tree, but as he got closer, he could see something strange on the trunk. He narrowed his eyes and curiosity drove him to quicken his pace. He was now close enough now that he could see it wasn't the trunk itself, but was something standing in front of the tree. It was semitransparent, but was becoming more opaque as he watched. He stilled when he realized what the shape was.

Standing in front of him was an exact copy of himself. Every detail was correct except for one detail, the copy Shinichi was completely black. Its hair, its skin, its close, even the master sword and shield were all black as if the copy was stuck in shadow. The shadow opened its eyes, glowing red eyes, and gave Shinichi an evil smirk.

Ai spoke from his side, "Shadow Shinichi….he both is and is not you. You must conquer yourself."

Shinichi readied his sword and charged. The shadow copied and they met in a furious clash, both equal in strength. Shinichi sprang away and readjusted his grip before springing forward for another attack. The shadow copied. Shinichi swung and ducked, but his shadow was an equal match. He tried stabbing his sword straight at him, but was surprised when the shadow actually jumped and stood on the tip of his blade. Shinichi's eyes widened and the shadow grinned. The shadow was toying with him!

Shinichi threw himself into the fight, putting everything he had into it. Finally he saw an opening and took it. He stabbed the shadow in the side and then grunted in pain himself. He had stabbed the shadow but in doing so, he left himself completely open. Blood dripped down his new shoulder wound, but at least he had finally gotten a hit on the shadow, a hit that was much worse than his own he might add. The shadow surprised him again when he dipped a finger into his wound. The shadow gave the hero a sick smile as he licked the blood from his finger.

The fight raged on, and Shinichi noticed that slowly the shadow was growing more solid looking. The more opaque he became, the more aggressive his attacks became. After awhile, the shadow was no longer copying Shinichi but was instead using his own moves. Shinichi took a couple more hits, but also got in a few of his own. He knew he had to end the battle soon; his strength wasn't endless after all.

The shadow was growing more confidant and aggressive, but in the end that was his downfall. Again Shinichi saw an opening and stabbed the shadow, but this time it was a killing blow. A look of surprise crossed the shadow's face, than he crumbled. Before he could fully fall to the ground, his body melted and was put back in its rightful place, as Shinichi's shadow.

xXx

Shinichi was breathing heavily and attempting to walk to the door. As soon as his shadow had been defeated, the tree, the water, and the never ending horizon had all faded. In its place was an ordinary stone room exactly like what he would find in the Water Temple. It had been an illusion, but his wounds were very real.

One hand clutched his shoulder, but he bled from numerous places. His vision was blurring and Ai was frantic. "You have to keep going! I think I saw some clay pots somewhere in the dungeon, maybe one of them has a healing potion. You just have to keep walking," she was practically in tears.

Shinichi nodded at her, but he couldn't stop himself when his strength gave out and he fell to his knees. "I'm sorry Ai, just let me sleep for a while," he lowered himself to the ground, "Just a moment, that's all I need."

Ai grabbed his sleeve and gave it a tug, as if she was trying to lift the hero back to his feet. Her attempts were useless of course. She banged her tiny fists on his arm, but Shinichi wasn't responding. "Somebody help! Please! Help!"

xXx

He was floating in a dark void. He tried to move, but his limbs refused to obey, so he allowed himself to float. He had no idea how long he floated, it could have been seconds or it could have been years. Then something happened, he heard a voice.

"Come back to me Shinichi, come back."

He tried to look for the source of the voice, but failed. It was a nice voice, and somehow familiar. He wanted to please the voice, for it sounded so sad. Something inside him ached.

"I'm trying, but I don't know how," he told the voice.

The voice answered, "Just open your eyes, Shinichi."

xXx

Shinichi slowly opened his eyes. His eye lids felt so heavy, but he forced them open anyways. He could tell something wasn't right. For one thing, he was very comfortable and warm, and he also felt safe. These were all wonderful feelings of course, but the question was why he felt that way. Last he checked, he was floating in some dark void trying to follow some voice, and before that he was fighting his shadow. Nope, neither of those last memories explained the warm, safe feeling.

So he pried his eyes opened and blinked until his vision focused. Than his eyes widened at who it was he saw, "KID? What….how?" His upper body was being held in the Sheikah's arms, his lower body lying as gently as possible on the stone ground.

KID's expression softened and he answered, "You gave me and Ai quite a scare, hero. I wasn't sure I would be able to cure your wounds. Lucky for us, I had a blue potion made by one of the best healers in Hyrule."

"You had a blue potion? As in the Medicine of Life and Magic potion? I didn't know there was anyone left in Hyrule that could brew the medicine. I guess I was lucky," he gave the Sheikah a sideways grin. "I guess I owe you."

KID looked at him for a moment without saying anything. Shinichi felt KID's grip on him tighten a little before he spoke, "Just promise me you won't scare me like that again."

Shinichi suddenly felt how intimate the situation felt. His cheeks colored a little but he ignored it as he looked KID full in the face and answered, "I promise." KID beamed at him. "What was that thing, KID? It looked like me, but different somehow."

"It was your dark side," KID answered, "Or…at least it was. Everyone has both goodness and darkness inside of them, the illusion in that room allowed you to literally face yourself, or that was the idea anyways. But this temple is completely saturated by the curse Gin put here. The evil mixed with your dark side and changed it into something much more frightening. It is very impressive that you were able to vanquish it."

"I see, and then after I defeated the shadow, I fell unconscious, and you saved me, right?" he asked.

KID nodded, "I came as soon as I sensed something wrong. It took me a while to find you, but lucky that fairy of yours has some powerful lungs. It was thanks to her yelling that I found you as fast as I did." He answered before Shinichi could even ask, "Your fairy is sleeping at the moment, I wrapped her in your hat. She tired herself out from worrying so much."

Shinichi noticed his hat wasn't on his head but was instead lying close to his side. He could see a faint glow coming from inside. A fond smile adorned his face.

The sound of KID clearing his throat made him turn his attention back to the Sheikah. He was suddenly aware that he was still being held in the ninja's arms. "I'm afraid that you have not yet defeated the Water Temple. There is still the beast within to deal with, or you will never awaken the sage," he grinned at the hero, "But after seeing you face the shadow, I know you will be alright. Before you went back to quest, I just wanted to say something."

Shinichi waited, but KID didn't continue, "Yes? What did you want to say?"

KID closed his eyes and took a couple breaths. He seemed to be centering himself or preparing for something. Then he opened his eyes again, letting Shinichi see how determined he was. He leaned forward and closed the distance between them, pressing his lips to Shinichi's in a soft, sweet kiss.

xXx

The rest of the dungeon after that was a blur. Shinichi's mind simply shut down. He vaguely recalled that KID had smiled at him after the kiss and promised him that they would see each other soon, then the ninja had left. Ai had woken up soon after that (her timing would have made him suspicious had he been thinking properly), and being the smart fairy that she was, she was able to guess what happened. She also knew that Shinichi would need time to process, so she took over control of his body for him. How did she do this? Simple, by telling him what to do.

After KID left, most of the dungeon went something like this, "Turn left…open the door….stab that enemy….open the chest and get the key…don't walk into the wall."

His prize for defeating the shadow was the Longshot, which was basically the Hookshot but with a much longer reach. It was a little hard for her to get him to aim it correctly when he was in his zombie state, but she managed.

He couldn't stay in his brain dead state forever though, he would be no match for the beast in the temple if he couldn't think for himself. So she had to him to return to reality. Calling his name didn't work, so she settled with grabbing his ear, and trying to fly away with it.

Needless to say, it worked quite well. "Ow ow ow, Ai stop!" he called at her.

"So you finally decided to wake up? Good, because we are outside the beast's chambers right now. It's time to kick that things ass so the Water Temple Sage will be able to hear the call," Ai told him a little crossly.

He flushed and gave her a tiny grin, "Thanks for the help, Ai. I can take it from here." He turned and made his way to the beast's door.

Ai mumbled just loud enough that he could hear, "Good, but if that's how you react after one kiss, I would hate to see you after a full make out session."

Shinichi nearly tripped while walking, but forced himself to not react otherwise.

The last room, the beast's room, had a pool of strange blue water with four platforms set up in a square in the pool. He jumped to the closest platform and looked around. Ai was studying the strange purple-blue water. She turned to Shinichi in realization, "That isn't normal water. It is the beast. It is called Morpha, and it has complete control over water."

Shinichi scowled, "How do I defeat water?"

Ai pointed, "By attacking the nucleus."

Shinichi looked where she was pointing. Floating around inside the water was a spongy pink ball that was about as big as his head. He pulled out his newly acquired Longshot and aimed. The arrow at the end of the chain pierced the spongey blob on the first try. He began to retract the chain, but the water formed a fist and pulled the nucleus back to safety. "I didn't think it would be that easy, but I had to try," Shinichi grumbled.

Morpha seemed angry by his attempts to attack its nucleus. Shinichi watched as the water began to pull straight up into the air and formed a tentacle completely out of water. The tentacle struck out at him, but Shinichi evaded the attack by jumping to another platform. It was then that he noticed that the nucleus was floating inside the tentacle. He tried his Longshot again, and this time it was successful. He pulled the nucleus to him and when it was close enough, he slashed at it with his sword.

As soon as he hit the nucleus, the water that was pooled around him bubbled angrily. Another tentacle formed, but this time when Shinichi tried to jump out of the way, a tentacle grabbed him from behind. Even though the tentacle was made from water, it was somehow able to grab him like a solid. The water wrapped around his waist and threw him across the room.

Shinichi grunted in pain as his back collided with the wall. He somehow managed to keep a hold of the Master Sword. He jumped back into the fight, but was careful to watch his back this time. Morpha could form tentacles anywhere in the pool of water, and it could form as many as it wanted. Shinichi noticed however that the more tentacles it formed, the harder it seemed to control them. The most controlled water tentacle was the one with the nucleus floating in it.

Eventually, he hit the nucleus enough that Morpha was defeated. The nucleus popped like a bubble and the rest of the water floated to the ceiling and evaporated leaving only a couple drips left as proof that it even was there. KID had been right, after facing his shadow, the fight with Morpha seemed like child's play.

Shinichi once again found himself in the Chamber of Sages. Across from him stood Princess Sonoko, a fact that didn't really surprise him. The princess smiled at him, "Shinichi, you were able to defeat the Water Temple and awaken me as a Sage." Her smile turned to a smirk and she looked to the side, rather smug, "I would have expected no less from the man I chose to be my husband. The Zora Domain will return to its original state. As your reward, I offer my eternal love."

Shinichi had no idea what to say. He opened his mouth a couple times to respond, but what was he suppose to tell her?

Princess Sonoko frowned and her eyes narrowed, "Or at least that's what I would like to say. I guess a better reward would be to add my power to yours and wish you luck with your search for Prince Kaito. Not to mention congratulate you on your budding relationship with that Sheikah. What's that look of surprise for? You didn't think you could hide something like that from me, did you?"

Shinichi decided to simply stay quite. It wouldn't help him, but it wouldn't hurt him either. His silence didn't stop Sonoko from talking, "Prince Kaito is alive. As a newly awakened Sage, I can sense it. So don't be discouraged. Take this Water Medallion, its power will aid you on your quest.

She summoned the blue medallion for the hero. On the side opposite the Symbol of Hyrule was what looked like six water drops forming in a circle. It looked a bit like a flower with the water drops as the petals.

He felt himself returning and heard the princess call out to him one last time, "If you see KID, tell him thank you, for rescuing me. Also, tell him I called off the wedding, so we are even now!"

*= I made the Zora Tunic's origin story up.

So in the original game story, there was not part with the Sheikah and the hero after he defeats the shadow. I added that myself. I did tell you guys that as the story progresses, I would be making changes ;)

I would appreciate reviews! I worked hard on this chapter
