Link's Dark Side
Link quickly used the spell Nayru's Love to protect himself from the first two attacks. They simply bounced off him, and caused no harm to Link. He then parried the next Gerudo's that went to attack him, telling Link some crucial information about his foes.
They were inexperienced in what they were doing. All the Gerudo knew the magic of Nayru's love very well, and were able to recreate variations of it and break the shield created by it. These warriors were obviously being brainwashed into pulling off some errand that Koume and Kotake wanted them to, but why the Lost Woods? Could this mean that the war against the Gerudo was really going to be against mind controlled slaves?
Knowing this, Link rushed the Gerudo that surrounded him and quickly overpowered them using their own techniques against them. Surprisingly enough once defeated, the Gerudo disintegrated in purple flames, reassuring Link that the Gerudo he just slain were possessed.
Link followed the sound of Saria's Song still playing through the woods, only this time its sound had lost its youthful feeling and now felt old, mournful and slowly dying out. The song, strengthened by the trees of the lost wood, gave no indication of where Link was supposed to be heading. The curse that the lost woods had showed itself spiritually and in a visual form as well; a purple haze, almost too thick to see, made the lost woods even more challenging to go through.
Link luckily remembered the routes that he took when he was younger so that by the time he had reached the sacred meadow, he had only spent 15 minutes in the woods. But, upon entering the meadow, link sensed a chilling feeling in his spine that froze him in place. The entire area where the maze would have been was not there anymore, in its place one figure stood, glaring back at Link with crimson red eyes.
"We meet again Link..." his eyes shifting to the watch in his hand.
"Dark Link...how?"
Dark Link laughed at Link, before disappearing into a thin black mist. Link, now holding his sword in his hand, walked slowly into the cleared area, however Dark Link did not return. Link put away his weapon realising it wouldn't help him now. He looked ahead at the clearing where the entrance to the Master Sword would be but couldn't find it. A whisper in the wind, massaged Link's ear, dancing and enticing his mind into following the sound of the voice, led Link into the middle of the field.
"Goodbye hero..." A voice came from behind Link, but before he could react to the sound, Link fell through the leaves that appeared to be on the ground, into a pit of dark magic. Before the purple mist consumed the Hero of Time, Link got the chance to see the last Hyrulian figure he would see in a long time, Dark Link with crimson red eyes gloating at the deed he had succeeded in.
"Goodbye hero..."
