We ran across Hyule Field at full speed. I couldn't believe it was finally over. As weird as it sounds, I was a little sad. Did I really want to go back and live the rest of my life in boring Kokiri Forest? Then again, Saria and Navi would be with me. That alone should keep me happy. Also the knowledge, that the Triforce would be safe, and no more people would suffer at Ganondorf's hands. I felt proud of myself after that last battle. Navi told me, and I knew it, I had grown. I was wiser and stronger. Saria grabbed my hand and smiled at me. She must just be as happy as me.
Suddenly, Saria slowed down and began to stop. "What's wrong?" I asked. She shook her head, "I had this terrible feeling...that something bad is happening at the castle..." I took her hands in mine and said, "Don't worry, enough with the worries. All we have to do, is go see Zelda and give her these and everything will be fine." Saria looked down and finally, "Ok, let's go" but she didn't seem too happy. I kept her close by as we went. She is just being paranoid. We've been through a lot, but everything will be ok now. I looked up at Navi, she still followed us. Saria smiled, "You two really have become the perfect team." "You think so?" I said. I was very glad, I grown to like Navi, and I had become even closer to Saria. I like the feel of her hands. They were soft and were always warm. I liked Navi being around me, it made me feel secure.
As we became closer, I noticed that the bridge to Hyrule Castle Town was up. It was still daytime, why was it up? I felt Saria get closer to me. The closer we got, the darker it became. A slight fog appeared. Navi whispered, "I sense..." then cut off. We were now at a walking pace. Saria was right, something was very very wrong. The sweet smell of Hyrule Field vanished and the air went cold. We stood, looking at the bridge. Lightning flashed across the sky. While standing, the bridge suddenly went down, slowly and eerily. I stood there, dumbfounded, when a white horse suddenly galloped our way across it. Saria had to pull me aside to keep from getting trampled. When we looked back, it was Zelda and Impa on the horse. I could barely make out Zelda's face, but she made this weird motion and I heard a splash from behind. What the hell was going on?
Then, when I turned around, I stared into the very soul of evil. Ganondorf, Gerudo King of Thieves, was there on a horse as black as midnight. He growled and muttered, "Arrrrgh! I lost her!" It was raining now. The rain seemed to just miss the Gerudo, which gave him a dark aura. He then turned his yellow hellish eyes...to me. "You, over there! Little kid!" he said. "You must have seen the white horse gallop past just now... Which way did it go?! Answer me!!" he ordered. Nobody orders me but Navi. I backed up, trying to act tough, but I did not speak. I noticed Navi floating around me, was quivering. Was he really that powerful? Saria stood nearby, speechless. Ganondorf did this deep slight laugh and said, "So, you think you can protect them from me...You've got guts, kid." I took out my sword. It didn't help, I realized how small it was. I was also without a shield. He could kill us right now if he wanted to. This amused the evil one, "Heh heh heh... You want a piece of me?! Very funny! I like your attitude!"
He then raised up a hand, and a white energy ball formed in it. I realized, this was my dream. The dream I had the same day that Navi came. Navi... I felt a shock and panic rise through me. The energy ball was realeased from his dark palms and struck all of us. The light was blinding but it just merely knocked me and Saria back. I didn't understand why, he was so powerful, why didn't he just kill us then? Or why didn't it do atleast more damage? No cuts, no blood, no nothing. Then I looked at the ground and realized why. We had not been the targets. Navi and Saria's fairy were on the ground. The light of their bodies were flicking. Their wings were torn up. Finally, the warm light of our friends faded away, and were no more. Nothing remained but their fragile little wings, which were torn up like pieces of cloth. Ganondorf smiled slightly and said, "Pathetic little fool! Do you realize who you are dealing with?! I am Ganondorf! And soon, I will rule the world!"
"GODDAMN YOU!" I screamed. I was just about to leap on him, when I felt some hands cover my mouth and hold me back. Ganondorf just laughed and galloped away to go find Zelda. When he rode away, the sun peeked out and the sky became clear. I wrestled around with Saria until she finally let go of me. "Do you know what he just did!?" I demanded. I fell down to the ground, having a huge surge of emotions run through me. Tears formed in my eyes as I picked up the little wings. I couldn't tell which fairy was which. Their wings looked the same. Was everything going to be taken away from me? My parent and now my friend were both dead. Was Saria next? How about Zelda? I was blinded by the water in my eyes. Saria knelt down next to me. I looked into her eyes. They too were full of sadness and tears.
We sat there, until I felt Navi telling me to push on. This made me want to cry worse, since Navi no longer existed. "Saria..." I softly said. She looked up at me. I layed the wings down. "...I have to go on. You can go back to Kokiri forest if you want." I said, still speaking softly. She stared at me. She then got a very serious look on her face and said, "No, I am going with you. No matter what happens, I want to be with you when it happens." I looked back down at our deceased partners. "We should bury them," I stated. Saria nodded. We used our hands and made very little burials for them. It wasn't fancy or anything, but it would do. We sat there together at our little cheaply made graves.
I forced myself to stand up and I helped Saria up. I hugged her. We went silent, just staring at each other. I didn't know what I would do if Saria died. She was my best friend. I couldn't let anything happen. She then did this semi-cough and said, "While Zelda was escaping, she tossed something in the water..." I remembered that, so I turned around. A shining blue Ocarina was in the water. My eyes widened. Could that be...? The Ocarina of Time? I jumped into the water and dived down to pick it up.
I then was in a white light. I heard, "Link, can you hear me? It's me...Zelda." She spoke that when I held the Ocarina, we wouldn't be around anymore. She said that she tried to wait for me, but it was too late. At least she left me with the Ocarina, and this song. I got it on my 1st try. The Song of Time, it was beautiful. While leaving, Zelda told me to play it in front of the Door of Time. Then I found myself back in Hyrule Field. Saria grabbed onto me and said, "Were did you go?! You dived in the water and disappeared, I thought you got washed away!" I explained to her what happened. She nodded and we went into Hyrule Castle Town. Before going any further, Saria grabbed my shirt. She reminded me of a Great Fairy near the castle. It wasn't hard to find. Seeing a big bombable boulder kinda gave it away.
The fountain looked the same as the other one, only pink instead of blue. At this point, none of us cared about the beauty. The Great Fairy granted me a spell called Din's Fire. It allowed me to fire this almost fireball like thing. We roughly thanked her and headed for the Temple of Time. It was night now, and we finally reached the outside of the temple. It was quite big, and looked like a church. The night gave it a spooky atmosphere. The inside, was much different. I gripped Saria's hand as we walked instead. This main room was quite big, with nothing in it. A Triforce symbol was painted on the floor. Everything was painted white and the windows had light streaming through them, even thought it was dark outside. We walked slowly up the pedestal. It had almost a holy feel to it. Running just wasn't an option. In front of the pedestal, was the Door of Time. It was a big door with a circle on it. Above that, was another Triforce symbol. We walked in front of the pedestal together.
The pedestal read, "Ye who owns 3 Spiritual Stones, stand with the Ocarina of Time, and play the Song of Time." Saria gently got out the stones. She placed them on their assigned holes but they didn't fit right. She looked at me and I nodded. I then took out the Ocarina, and played the Song of Time. The Spiritual Stones lift from their holes and began to float in place. Their beautiful slowly twirling around. And then...the Triforce symbol glowed, and the Door of Time...opened. I thought I felt my heart stop. My mouth ran dry. Still holding her hand, Saria and I went up the steps, and into the room that was guarded by the Door of Time. It was bigger than the last room. The only thing in this room, was some steps leading up to a sword in stone.
Light shone from the only window onto the sword. We still held each other hands, ignoring the sweat that would trap them together. We softly climbed the steps together. Then we stood in front of this sword. It was really magnificent looking. I did not know what was going to happen, but I was ready. My heart was torn but I felt safe, as long as Saria was with me. I asked her, "Are you ready?" She nodded and said, "Let's pull it out together." So together, we placed our hands on the sword, and pulled it out.
(This will more than likely be the end. I plan to write this all the way to the very end of OOT. But I shall make adult Link a separate story. I rushed through this a little, whoops :P I did start a new game and play through while typing this. I did that so I could get direct quotes and accuracy. Also, in case you didn't notice, I didn't follow the story the exact same. Now that I think about it, I should've posted this in the beginning huh?)
