Hey guys. Sorry about the first few chapters being together. I'll separate them out from now on. Anyway, enjoy the rest of chapter 5! Mew!

Claimer: I totally own legend of Zelda!

Zora's Domain?! Kaepora extended his wings while chuckling. "Hoo-hoo! You should see that look on your face! If you want to know more, grab onto my feet. Well, he says he knew the Great Deku Tree and I need to get the Spiritual Stone of Water, so why not?

"Yes! Take me with you!" I yelled at Kaepora. I grabbed onto his talons and we took off toward Zora's Domain. Under me I heard Malon cry out "Link! Are you going already?" I looked down, smiled, and yelled back "I'll be back Malon!" She yelled "You better! You better come back!" I laughed and we flew off into the night.

…

"'You better come back' huh?" said Kaepora as we continued to fly towards Zora's Domain. "Hoo-hoo! You're certainly popular with the ladies. This is the third pretty girl you've got!" I thought about Saria, Zelda, and Malon and blushed. How does he know? "Quiet! Sheesh!" Kaepora just laughed.

After a few minutes of quiet, Kaepora asked "How's this view of the world?" I looked down. The fields spread wide, people wandering about. Looking at the stars, I guess. "It's really big! Everyone down there look like tiny bugs." I said in astonishment. "Guess we're all really small, aren't we?" "You may be small, but you've got the power to change the world. Link, you may think you left the forest because you wanted to…" Kaepora said. "…but the truth is it was your destiny!"

"What?!" I yelled in astonishment. How can it be my destiny? Then he let go of me. "Soon you will learn the truth." I screamed as I fell until I hit the water. Then everything went black.

…

"Uhhhh….where am I?" I wondered aloud. I opened my eyes and saw a huge face in front of me. "Yikes!" I screamed. Then a Zora, I'm guessing, yelled "How rude! You are standing before King Zora!" I got up and looked around. This place is huge! There are waterfalls everywhere! "Is this Zora's Domain?" I asked.

King Zora said "Indeed…and who are you, m'boy?" I looked at him. "I'm Link. Princess Zelda told me the legend passed down through the Royal Family. King Zora, please tell me how to find the Spiritual Stone of Water!"

King Zora looked worried. "A messenger from the Hyrulean Royal Family? We are sorry, but we can't worry about that right now." King Zora's eyes filled with tears. "Our beautiful daughter, Princess Ruto, has been swallowed by Lord Jabu-Jabu." Lord Jabu-Jabu? The Zora behind me said "Lord Jabu-Jabu is the Zoras' guardian spirit. He lives in the fountain. I looked at them all in wonder. "Your guardian ate the princess?"

The Zora beside the king yelled "Lord Jabu-Jabu has been acting strange lately. Ever since that Ganondorf guy came!" I clenched my left fist and asked the king "Ganondorf came here too?! Tell me what happened to the princess!" King Zora answered "She's probably still in Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly." Then the tears spilled over. "Even though tomorrow is the day she was supposed to be married to our kingdom's most handsome man." The Zora beside the king smiled, which means it must be him.

I smiled, pointed at myself, and yelled "King Zora! I will go inside Lord Jabu-Jabu and rescue Princess Ruto! But I need your promise that if I succeeed you'll give me the Spiritual Stone of Water!" King Zora threw his hands in the air and said "Done! It is a Royal Decree!"

I made a thumbs-up and said "Great! Let's go Navi!" King Zora held up his hand as I was about to run off. "Take this weapon with you." King Zora handed me a strange item called a boomerang. "It has been passed down through generations in the Do Bon Family. It is sure to be helpful inside Lord Jabu-Jabu."

I took the boomerang, yelled "Thank you King Zora!" and ran off to the fountain.

…

At the Zora's Fountain, there was a humongous fish! "Is this Lord Jabu-Jabu?" I asked out loud to no one in particular. Navi said "He's certainly big enough to swallow a person whole!" Well, big or not, I have to save Princess Ruto so I can get the Spiritual Stone of Fire! I pulled out my sword and began hitting Lord Jabu-Jabu with it. Hey, Lord Jabu-Jabu!" I yelled. "Give back Princess Ruto!"

Navi shoved on my shoulder. "Stop it Link! He's a guardian spirit, so make an offering to him." That's a great idea! I pulled out a fish that had been given to me by one of the Zora's as his thanks for my willingness to help and said "Lord Jabu-Jabu, please partake of this."

Lord Jabu-Jabu's eyes seemed to pop out at the fish. He began to inhale it…and us! "Waah!" I screamed. "Just the fish! Just the fish!" And then we were swallowed by the guardian spirit.

…

I had been traveling for a while inside Lord Jabu-Jabu's belly, calling "Hey Princess Ruto! Spiritual Stone…no…Princess Ruto!" Then I heard a scream from down a tunnel. "Over there!" When I rounded the corner, I saw Princess Ruto…and a big, weird looking monster surrounded by jellyfish!

As one of the jellyfish was about to attack Princess Ruto, I quickly grabbed her around the waist and ran. Once we were a safe distance away, I set her down. "Are you all right Princess Ruto?" I asked. "I'm glad you're not hurt! Then she slapped me.

"Peasant!" she yelled. I rubbed my cheek. "I am Ruto, princess of the Zoras! And just who are you?" I huffed. "The king asked me to come rescue you!" Ruto looked thoughtful. "My father?" Then she glowered at me. "I don't need any help!" What is going on? I ask to help her and she won't let me?

What are you saying? Everyone's worried sick about you!" I held out my hand to Ruto. "Come on, let's get out of here!"

"No way!" She yelled, running back in the direction of the monsters. "Why don't you get out of here?" I ran after Ruto because I knew that she wouldn't be able to survive the monsters. Suddenly, a jellyfish headed straight for Ruto!

"Watch out!" I yelled at Ruto. Navi yelled "Wait Link!" But it was too late. I cut the jellyfish in half and a jolt of electricity shot through me. I screamed until it faded. Navi yelled "Those are Flying Electric Jellyfish! If you hit them with your sword, you'll get a nasty shock!"

Dang it! How am I going to defeat this thing? I dragged myself over to Ruto and held out my hand. "Are…are you alright?" I puffed. "Whaddya say we get out of here?"

She stared at me for a few minutes, then said "If you really want to, then go get that stone." Ruto folded her arms. "I dropped it when Lord Jabu-Jabu swallowed me. She pointed to the huge monster and I noticed the stone poking out from under it. "If you get it back, I'll come with you."

"You got it!" I yelled, running at the monster. Ruto yelled "Just a sec!" pulling on the collar of my tunic. "You're not planning to leave me alone, are you?"

…

I ran with Ruto on my back, which meant I couldn't use my hands to fight. Ruto said "Carrying me is a great honor. You should feel proud." "But I can't use my hands!" I yelled. "How'm I supposed to get the stone?!"

As I continued running, I didn't realize the tentacle that went for Ruto until it was too late! The tentacle grabbed Ruto and held her high in the air. Then a jellyfish headed straight for her! She screamed.

I pulled out the boomerang." "Time to try this thing…" I hope it works! I threew the boomerang and it killed all the jellyfish, cut the tentacle holding Ruto, and received the stone, which came right to me along with the boomerang! "Got it!" I yelled as I caught the boomerang and the stone.

I unsheathed my sword and jumped into the air, yelling "And now…!" I hit the huge monster with all my might, which made it explode. "You did it Link!" Navi yelled. I ran over to Princess Ruto.

"What's the meaning of tossing me around!" Ruto yelled. I smiled and held the stone out to her, saying "Sorry,sorry. Here's the stone." Ruto frowned and sniffed. "That was scary." I gave Ruto a sympathetic smile. She looked up at me.

"The truth is…I wasn't swallowed by Lord Jabu-Jabu." she said. "I came here to hide." I looked at her in amazement. "Wh…why?" Ruto stood up and said angrily "My father…He arranged a marriage for me and never even asked what I thought. He prattles on about 'our little princess' this and 'our little princess' that. But I have my own feelings." Ruto's voice rose to a shout. "I'm not my father's doll!"

I stared at Ruto for a minute and then scratched my head, saying "It sounds like you've got a lot of trouble." Then I smiled and put my hands behind my back as Ruto wiped her eyes. "But I'm envious." I said. "The Great Deku Tree, who was like a father to me, was killed…and I can never see him again." I held my hand out to Ruto. "You've got a father who's worried and waiting for you…let's go back."

Ruto stared at me for a couple minutes and then turned away. "Okay…" she said quietly. "…but first I want to give you something special." I stared at her back in bewilderment. "Huh?"

Ruto turned back to me with the stone in her hand. "This is the Spiritual Stone of Water-the Zora's Sapphire. It's a stone I'm supposed to give to my fiancée…"

She handed it to me, saying "…sort of like an engagement ring. But I think I'll give it to you instead!" "All right!" I yelled. "I got all three spiritual stones!" I ran toward the exit, which was Lord Jabu-Jabu's mouth, shouting behind me "Thanks!" to a smiling Ruto.

As soon as Navi and I got outside the fish's mouth, I asked "By the way, Navi, what's an engagement ring?" She was silent as she thought, but seemed to be unsure, too.

…

As I neared the castle, I said "We gotta hurry back to Princess Zelda!" I did it Great Deku Tree! Then I got a good look at the castle and realized that… "Hyrule Castle…is burning?!"
