Chapter 4
The Tower of the Gods and Old Hyrule
Link cried for a few minutes before he recovered enough to start breaking all of his grandmother's dishes in an attempt to get her to wake up. It didn't work. Eventually, the freak and his granddaughter came in, stopping in surprise when they saw the broken glass scattered all over the floor. "Hey, we should clean this up!" the pot lady said. "We should just pick up the pieces and then throw them in the garbage! Can everyone handle that?" the woman was ignored, however, as the freak started to scold Link for making the mess in the first place. "Did you get the fairy or not?" the freak asked after awhile, while his granddaughter picked up the remains of the dishes and tried to balance them all on her head. "Well I did, but the stupid fairy healed the wrong person!" Link said miserably.
"Well, you'll have to get another one!" the freak said.
"But I don't want to!" Link protested.
"Hey, we should just try and give her the medicine," the pot lady said after she had cleared the room of the dangerous glass. "Can you handle that freakishly mutated grandfather?"
"Hey, for once your obviousness has paid off!" Link said happily as he started to spoon the last of the medicine into a bowl.
"Yes, it should be ready by now!" the freak said, grabbing the bowl from Link before he did something stupid.
"I want to give it to her!" Link whined, starting to pout.
"Now Link, my grandfather knows how to do it better!" the pot lady said happily.
"That's right, I know just how-" but before the freak could finish he tripped on a piece of glass that the pot lady had missed, and spilt the remainder of the medicine. The freak's head turned a funny red color as he started to hit the floor with his staff. "Such a racket! Can't you keep it down!" he shouted, apparently he was used to blaming things on his brother Orca, even though the man wasn't even there. "We need to make more medicine now, can you handle that?" the pot lady said, just as cheerfully as before.
"No!" the freak said. "I don't have any of the ingredients! Link, we need another fairy!"
"But the bridge is down!" Link protested.
"We will have to fix the bridge!" the pot lady said. She went running outside, into the dark, stormy night.
"Well, at least she's gone!" Link said as he turned to the freak, who was still banging on the floor with his stick.
"Would you stop that! It's scary!" Link said, throwing his boomerang at the old man. The boomerang missed the man, though, and hit Link instead. "Stupid boomerang! Take this!" Link shouted. He was just about to throw it again when the freak finally calmed down and grabbed the weapon from Link's hand.
"Don't throw that around you fool! Let's go see what pot lady is up to!"
"…Don't you even know your own granddaughter's name?" Link asked.
"What are you talking about? That is her name!"
"Her name is pot lady…?"
"Um, maybe," the freak said, frowning as he tried to remember what her real name was. "It doesn't matter, let's get moving!" he said finally. The two marched out of the house and walked towards the forest, accidentally forgetting to close the door so the grandmother was directly in line of the wind and rain as it came rushing in. When they arrived at the bridge, they found it to be completely fixed. The pot lady was there, testing her repairs by jumping up and down, the bridge swinging dangerously each time she landed. "Link! Freakishly mutated grandfather! I fixed the bridge!" she said, waving at them as she continued to jump around.
"Darn, now I actually have to go back!" Link said, glaring at the pot lady.
"Yep, so get going!" the freak said, giving Link a shove onto the bridge.
"Stop jumping! The bridge is swinging too much!" Link shouted at the pot lady as he held onto the rope railings for dear life.
"I am testing the strength of the ropes!" the pot lady shouted back.
"Well stop it! Or I'll break one of your pots again!"
The woman gasped, "Why would you do such a thing? Pay me five rupees for doing that!" she said, ceasing her jumping for the time.
"What? But I didn't actually break anything yet!" Link said.
"Pay up!"
"Never!" Link shouted. He ran past her, giving her a push to distract her.
"I'm falling off of the bridge!" the woman shouted.
"Oops," Link said as he looked over the edge. The pot lady was there, hanging on to one of the ropes that was hanging down. "Here, grab on," Link said in a bored voice as he stretched his hand down to her. "I have to grab Link's hand by grabbing it with my hand! I can handle that, can't I?" the pot lady said to herself. She was so busy talking to herself though, that she fell before she could actually dowhat she was talking of doing. Link watched her fall and then a few seconds later he could just make out her voice over the crashing waves, "I'm in the ocean, I have to swim to shore by swimming. I can handle that, can't I?" Link shrugged slightly and then finished his trip over the bridge while the freak went running down the mountain, blaming the near death of his granddaughter on Orca.
So Link had to go all the way back to the fairy fountain, grab yet another fairy, and then run all the way back to his house. On the way back, he passed the freak and the pot lady. They were still at the beach and the old man was trying to help the woman out of the ocean, while all the woman did was talk about what she should do to help, without doing any of the things she suggested to herself. "I got the fairy!" Link announced, and then gasped when they ignored him. "Well fine, I'll just give it to Grandma myself!" Link said grumpily as he marched away from the two, who were now battling a crab that had been woken up by all the shouting they had been doing. "Link, did you say hello to all your friends yet?" the boat called over to Link as he passed.
"I'm working on it!" Link shouted at him.
"Well hurry up, we need to get the pearl from Jabun as soon as possible.""Yeah, whatever," Link said as he stomped inside his house. He pulled the fairy out of the bottle roughly and pointed it at his grandmother. "See, there's the person you have to heal! Now get to it!" Link said, throwing the fairy over to the old lady.
"Free!" the fairy shouted, and she started to do a little dance before finally moving over to the grandmother and spinning around a few times.
The fairy then went flying into the ceiling in an attempt to get out, but she wasn't as good at getting out of buildings like the last one had been. She kept flying into the same spot in the ceiling over and over again, giving the spot an annoyed tap with her wand every now and then. Link was about to suggest she try the open door, when his grandmother finally woke up. This, of course, distracted Link and made him forget all about the stupid fairy until a long time later. "Link, is that you?" his grandmother asked.
"Well yeah! I want soup!" Link said, stomping the floor with his foot.
"Oh, you and Aryll have been so brave. I am your grandmother, I should be brave too!"
"Yeah, whatever."
"Link, don't do anything stupid, ok?"
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!"
"Nothing… um, soup! Who wants soup?" his grandmother asked, desperately changing the subject.
"Soup! Yum!" Link shouted happily. His grandmother made up some of her delicious soup in just a few minutes.
"Here you go dear!"
"Muhahahahaha! It's all mine! Soup, yum!"
"I'm so nice, I even gave you enough for two!" his grandmother said happily.
Link looked at her suspiciously, "I'm not sharing it with you if that's what you're trying to hint at!"
"Um, I was just saying you have enough to last you for quite awhile…"
"Oh, well that's ok then! Well, I've got to go and get some stupid pearl from a giant fish! So long loser!" Link shouted as he ran out of the house, clutching his soup happily. In his eagerness to get back to his boat, he accidentally ran into the pot lady and her grandfather, who were just coming in. During the initial surprise, Link dropped his precious bottle and spilt the soup all over the floor. "Nooooooo!"
"Oh, you should have put that in your pocket!" the pot lady said.
"Yes, thank you, stupid pot lady!" Link grumbled as he picked up the now empty bottle and got a refill from his grandmother. "Now, so long losers!" Link shouted, and he went running off yet again.
"Did you say hello to everyone yet?" the boat asked in an impatient voice the minute Link appeared on the dock.
"Yes! And I got SOUP!!" Link shouted, hugging the bottle.
"…Ok then, ready to go?"
"Yep!" Link happily leaped into the boat and threw the sail up. "So, where is this fish anyway?" Link asked as they began to circle the island.
"I'd say that he was near the giant whirlpool," the boat said in a patient voice.
"Really? Where's that?"
"Link?"
"Yeah?"
"We're in the giant whirlpool right now."
"We are? Well lookey there! I was wondering why we weren't getting anywhere!"
"No you weren't! You didn't even notice!" the boat said.
"Alright Larry, calm down. What do we now?"
"What do you think?"
"If I thought, don't you think I wouldn't have asked you what to do next?!" Link asked as the little boat was tossed around in the whirlpool that they were now trapped in. "Wait, that came out wrong…" Link said.
"Link just shoot the stupid cannon at the stupid cliff so we can talk to Jabun!" the boat shouted, his patience gone once again. "Ok! That sounds like fun!" Link said as he tossed himself into the cannon before lighting it. "What are you doing?!" the boat shouted.
"Um, shooting the cannon… what does it look like?" Link asked as he calmly waited for the cannon to fire him at the cliff.
"I can't believe this." the boat said as he watched Link get thrown into the area he had been aiming for. "That's even the wrong spot you fool!" the boat shouted as Link fell into the ocean. "I'll just do it myself!"
So the boat fired his cannon on his own until there was a large hole in the cliff's side, leading deep into a type of cavern. He drifted over to Link, who was beginning to sink deeper into the ocean as he got more tired. "Well it's about time!" Link shouted. "Hey look, the giant whirlpool is gone!"
"Wow, you noticed! Good for you!" the boat said sarcastically.
"Thanks!"
The boat sighed, "Let's just go get the pearl."
Link sailed the boat through the hole, sipping on his soup as they went. The cavern that they were in was huge. It was mostly dark, except for a small light that appeared to be underwater. "Well, where is he? I thought it would be easy to find a giant fish!" Link said disappointedly.
"He's under the water you fool!"
"Well, why doesn't he come out! I can't swim underwater, unless I drown…"
"No Link, you aren't going to kill yourself. He'll come up when he's ready."
"Boring!" Link shouted, his voice echoing off of the walls.
"Be quiet already!" the boat shouted.
"Yeah, because the last thing we want is the fish to wake up, stupid Larry!"
The boat sighed tiredly. Link got tired of listening to his echo after awhile and he was finally quiet. After a few minutes of that, he got tired of being quiet and he started to shout some more. "I like echoes, they're fun!" Link shouted, much to the annoyance of the boat, who had just started to get used to the silence. Finally Link couldn't take it anymore and he took his boomerang out and tossed it into the water. He sighed when all it did was float there. Next he tried the grappling hook, but the rope got wet and then he didn't feel like trying to throw it again. "Uh, Link, what are you doing?" the boat asked when he noticed Link was starting to aim the cannon towards the light that was under the water. "I'm waking up the fish! I'm bored!" Link said as he finally figured out what was supposed to be fired from the cannon and he loaded a bomb into it. "Link, I don't think that-" the rest of the boat's thought was drowned out by the sudden boom from the cannon and then Link's gleeful laugh. Link started to regret doing this, however, when suddenly the giant fish started to rise from underneath them, creating giant waves that nearly pushed them back out of the cavern. The minute the fish was floating on the surface, it started to curse at Link in the same language that the Deku Tree had used.
Meanwhile, the boat appeared to be pretending that the fish was saying something completely different. He responded to the fish's curses with phrases like: "No, he is not the Hero of Time, but I sense great promise in him" (when Link heard this he laughed out loud at the little boat). Finally the fish was done yelling at Link and he threw his pearl at him in an attempt to knock him out. Sadly though, the fish had a horrible aim as well, and the pearl ended up landing next to Link's head, but not on it. Disappointed, the fish went back into the depths of his cavern, hoping to get some more sleep. "Aw man, I forgot I wanted to tease him!" Link said sadly as the boat turned around and started to head back outside. When they exited the cave, they found that storm had stopped. "Hooray! Now we can have a picnic!" Link said, clapping his hands happily.
"We don't have time for that, we need to set these pearls in the ancient statues to summon the Tower of the Gods," the boat said as he just drifted around since Link didn't seem to show any interest in steering anywhere. Link pouted, "Tower of the Gods? Lame! I say we go to a tropical island! With fruit!"
Larry stared at him, "We aren't doing that. Now get moving, we have three islands to visit!"
"Alright fine!"
They arrived at the first island in just a few hours. Link quickly hopped out of the boat and ran over to a strange looking statue. "Oh it's so ugly!" Link said as he neared it.
"Young waker of the winds, place the pearl in my hands." the statue said in a soft voice.
"Never! It's mine!"
"Just give the statue the pearl Link!" the boat shouted at him.
"Oh fine!" Link grumbled as he placed one of his pearls in the statue's hands. Link waited for awhile but when nothing happened he started to kick the statue in his frustration. "You put the wrong pearl in you fool!" that boat shouted over to him. "You have to look at the symbol on the pearl and match it with the statue's!"
"Oh!" Link happily removed the pearl and tried another one, only to start kicking it again when nothing happened.
"Try the other one!" the boat shouted in a frustrated voice.
"Fine." Link removed that pearl and stuck in the last one, giving the statue another kick for good measure. Suddenly the statue began to glow for a few seconds before it went back to its original appearance. "That's it?" Link asked disappointedly.
"We need to put the last two pearls in," the boat said as Link trudged dejectedly back to the shore.
"This is sooooo hard!" Link announced as they went on their way to the next island.
"What's hard about it? You stick the pearl in, and then you leave," the boat said.
"Exactly! What's not hard about it!"
The boat sighed impatiently as he kept his eyes peeled for the next island, since he couldn't count on Link to do anything.
…one day later…
They had finally reached the last island with a statue on it. "Last pearl Link!" the boat said happily.
"Yay!" Link shouted as he ran over to the statue. "Here you go!" Link said to the statue after it demanded the pearl from the boy. The statue began to glow just like the others had, but unlike the others, it started to glow even more. "It's gonna blow!" Link shouted, but he just stood there, staring at the statue to see if it really would. And it did. It sent Link flying as the statue blew up, leaving behind a pretty statue of one of the goddesses that the Hylians worshipped. From his vantage point up in the sky, Link was able to watch a light beam stretch over from the statue to one of the others. Eventually they had created a triangle, and in the center of this triangle rose a large tower. Link landed roughly on top of this tower, while the boat gave a grimace, "Great, now he won't have to do any of the tests in there!" the boat said grumpily.
Link stood up and gave a mischievous grin when he saw a large bell that was just sitting in front of him. He grabbed onto it with his grappling hook and began to swing around in an attempt to pull it down and break it. Fortunately for the bell, it had been built on a strong stand, so all that ended up happening was Link just rang it a few times before dropping back to the ground with a pout. "That was a lame test!" Link shouted down at the boat. "Oooooo, what's that?" Link asked, pointing down at a small circle of light that had appeared on the water's surface. "It's so shiny! I want it!" Link shouted, and he jumped down, pulling out his leaf just before he hit the water. "Wheeeee!" he said happily as he glided gently into the ocean. "I want it!" Link said again, pointing at the circle of light. The boat just stared at him. Link sighed, "Let me guess, we have to go in there."
"Yes," the boat said.
"Well I don't want to!"
"Just get over here already!"
"Alright fine!"
Link climbed aboard his ship and then steered it into the circle of light. The minute he did this the two started to sink down towards the ocean floor. "Nooooo!" Link shouted before he started holding his breath. The boat considered whether or not to tell the boy that he could actually breath in this place, but he decided against it, it was just funny. Link meanwhile, passed out from not breathing. When he woke up, Link found himself to be underwater in some sort of air-bubble. They were floating around in some sort of pond, which was next to a large castle. The only thing that caught Link's attention though was the fact that everything was black and white. "Oh my gosh! We're in an old movie! I don't want to be lame!" Link shouted.
"What are you talking about?" The boat asked in an annoyed tone. Link, however, was ignoring his boat as he started to run around in a panic, trying to find a way back up. "Link, cut that out!" the boat shouted at him. Link trudged over to him, looking around with a suspicious glare. "Now, I know that you are wondering where you are," the boat began.
"Not really, I already know where I am!" Link shouted.
"But there is no time to explain," Larry continued, deciding it would be best to just ignore Link for the time. "Everything will be made clearer when you retrieve the weapon that is here.
"Yeah, whatever," Link said before he went running towards the entrance to the castle. Inside, the first thing that caught Link's attention was the two large pictures that were hanging on the wall next to him. One of them was of a large, old man in red. And the other was of a princess surrounded by people who looked suspiciously like Tetra's crew. Link, however, didn't really think about this as he began to cackle happily when an idea hit him. He pulled out his grappling hook and used it to pull him up so that he was next to the picture of the princess. Then he pulled out a marker and drew a mustache and beard on her before moving over to the other picture. He was disappointed to see that the man already had facial hair, so he wrote down "I'm stoopid." next to him and added an arrow so that it pointed at the old king. Link then slid down and examined the remainder of the room.
The rest of the room was covered with statues that were scattered all about the floor. Most of them were of the monsters that Link had previously met, but there was one tall one that looked just like Link. And if this didn't boost his ego, nothing would. Link stared up at it with a dreamy expression on his face. "I'm famous already! Yay!" Link started to dance around the room, bumping into everything as he went. Soon the room was covered with dust as the statues fell to the ground and shattered the minute he rammed into them. He also moved the blocks that were in the center of the room, by accident of course. Some how, Link managed to move the blocks into their proper positions without even realizing it. He was so busy dancing that he didn't notice the blocks sink into the ground, and then a few seconds later he was equally oblivious to the large statue of him moving off to the side, revealing a set of stairs that led to the basement of the castle.
The only thing that stopped Link was the loud voice of his boat as he shouted at the boy. "Hey Link, if you're stuck on what to do with those blocks, there's a hint for you outside!"
"What are you talking about? There's no blocks here!" Link shouted back as he looked around confusedly. "There is a staircase here that I didn't notice before though! So long loser!" Link shouted as he went running down the stairs. In the basement there were large statues of armored swordsmen arranged in a circle. Link peered over at them and saw that they were surrounding a large sword that was stuck in a pedestal of sorts. "Ooooo, it's so shiny!" Link shouted, his voice echoing along the walls. "I want it!" he decided after a few seconds. He ran up to it and grabbed it, only to freeze when the statues suddenly started to move. "The statues are falling!" Link shouted as he ran away from the pedestal. He watched as the statues dropped their swords part way and then stopped again. Link stared at them suspiciously before cautiously approaching the sword again. Link grabbed the sword again and started to pull on it. A few minutes later and he was still trying to get it out. "Oh you stupid sword! Take this!" Link shouted after awhile. He threw his boomerang at it, but it didn't help him to get the sword out. He was just about to give up when suddenly a large seagull came swooping in and landed on Link's head with a loud squawk. "Oh no, it can't be…" Link said, staring in fear at the doorway. Suddenly a loud laugh came floating down to him. "Ahhahahaha! I have complete control over the seagulls!" shouted a voice that Link knew well.
Aryll joined him at the pedestal a few seconds later, skipping along, her little pigtails bobbing up and down. "What is taking you so long slacker!?" she shouted at him, shooting an annoyed glare at him.
"It won't come out," Link said sadly, pointing at the sword and starting to suck his thumb. Aryll gave a disgusted sigh, "You need to work out more!" she said as she pulled the sword out with ease. "Yay! You got it! Gimme, I found it first!" Link shouted, making a grab for the sword. But even though he was taller than the girl, he somehow failed at grabbing it. "I got it out!" Aryll protested as she admired the shiny new sword.
"Yeah, well, I passed the test in the Tower of the Gods! So ha!" Link said smugly.
"No you didn't, you just fell on top of the stupid tower!" Aryll said.
"Hey, how did you know that?" Link asked, beginning to pout again.
"Ahahahahaha! I have complete control of the seagulls!"
"…Ok, so?"
"Well duh! They're spying on you fool!" Link gave a high pitched scream and swatted at the bird that was still happily perched on his hat. The bird gave an annoyed squawk and then went flying off. "How did you even get here?" Link asked, making another attempt to get the sword, and failing yet again.
"That's for me to know, and for you to find out," Aryll paused for awhile in thought. "Which will never happen, so, I got here by using Ganondorf's boat!"
"Ganondorf?! But he's the badguy!" Link whined. "I can't believe you brought him here, Larry is going to be very mad at you!" he said with an evil cackle.
"Yeah, whatever," Aryl said, copying her brother without even realizing it.
"Where is he now anyway?" Link asked after awhile.
"He's waiting for me upstairs, we've come to an agreement."
"What's that?"
"An agreement means that we've made a mutual consent," Aryll said in a patient voice.
"I know what it means! I meant, what is the agreement!"
"Oh, we are taking over the world together, and then we will try to kill each other. Whoever wins get to be Empress!"
"I say that because it's obvious that Ganondorf isn't going to win." Aryll said, scowling at Link's amused expression. "Oh let's just go!" she shouted at him, and went skipping back upstairs.
Link gasped when he realized that she still had the Master Sword. "Wait for me!" he shouted as he went running after his little sister. When they arrived at the top floor, they found the castle to be back in color. "It's all so pretty!" Link said as he gazed around. If Link hadn't ran around and smashed all of the statues, they would've had quite a battle on their hands when they were turned to life, but fortunately, Link's craziness had paid off for a change. Instead, they had to deal with Ganondorf, who was laughing in a deep voice. "I now know what Zelda looks like!" he said, pointing up at the picture that Link had previously drawn on. He turned to face Aryll and Link, "Oh, that must be your stupid brother," he said in a conversational tone.
"Howdy!" Link shouted at him.
"Link, why are you shouting?" Aryll asked him with a confused expression.
"I don't know!" he shouted at her.
Aryll gave another disgusted sigh, "Whatever, let's go Ganondorf, now that we have the Master Sword, none can stop me… I mean us!"
Link pouted and stomped his foot on the stone floor, "I wanted the Master Sword, it's not fair!" he said sadly.
"Well get used to it!" Aryll said and went skipping off next to her tall partner, who was skipping around as well. Link stared at this scene for awhile before he pulled out his grappling hook and started to swing it around. He tossed it with a yell, but missed what he had been aiming for. He had wanted to go back up to the pictures to add more stuff, but he accidentally grabbed the Master Sword instead. "Darn!" He said as he pulled it towards him.
"Link, give that back!" Aryll shouted at him.
"Never!" Link shouted back before he went running outside through the back entrance. He ran along a road for awhile until he was sent flying back suddenly by an invisible force shield. "It's the edge of the world!" Link said, poking this strange thing with his sword. He didn't have much time to examine it, however, when out of nowhere a whole flock of seagulls came swarming over to him, trying to grab the sword. "Nooooo!" Link screamed as he ran the other way. Somehow he managed to make it past both Ganondorf and Aryll and to the safety of his boat (although the fact that the two antagonists weren't paying attention and were playing a game of hopscotch could have had something to do with it). "Hurry Larry! To the real world!" Link shouted as he threw the sail up. "Yeah! Here we go, full speed!"
"Uh, Link?" the boat said cautiously.
"What now?"
"We aren't moving…"
"What? Darn!" Link threw the sail back down when he saw that there was no wind where they were. He quickly got out and pushed the little boat back into the ring of light before hopping back in again. The two were soon floating back up towards the surface; Link, once again, held his breath till he passed out, much to the boat's amusement.
Link woke up to the boat's persistent and anxious voice. "What now Larry!?" Link shouted as he sat up.
"We're headed straight for a giant squid, that's what!!" Larry shouted.
"So?" Link asked calmly. "Move away from the giant squid." And with that Link lied back down to try and get some more sleep.
"I can't move away, because one: I can't put the sail up, that's your job, and two: we're stuck in a giant whirlpool!" Larry said angrily. Link sat up with a scream and leaned over the edge to get a better look. "We don't have anything to defeat that!" Link shouted as the giant squid that was near them started to pull them closer. "Well, maybe you should've done the Tower of the Gods right!" Larry said. "Then you would have a bow and some arrows."
"Um, take this!" Link shouted, throwing his boomerang at the squid. He completely missed though, and he ended up grabbing a rupee that had been in back of the giant monster. "Money!" Link shouted, and threw the boomerang again, no longer caring about his predicament. However, since he was aiming for the money this time, he hit the squid instead. The squid, who had just wanted to give his visitors a big hug, went back underwater with a sob. "Ahha! I got it!" Link said happily. He was about to do his victory dance when suddenly a giant fairy came out of nowhere. "Oh thank you so much for rescuing me from the giant squid!" she said.
"Yeah, whatever," Link said with a roll of his eyes.
"In return for your help, I will double your magic meter!"
"…But I don't even have a magic meter to begin with!" Link protested.
"Oh, well in that case I'll triple it for you!" The fairy hit him rather hard with her wand and then went flying off, laughing loudly.
"Those fairies are scary!" Link declared as he rubbed his sore head.
"Link, it is now time to rescue your sister!" Larry announced out of the blue.
"… But she doesn't need rescuing! Have you not been paying attention?!" Link shouted, hitting his boat over the head with his grappling hook.
"Well fine, be that way!" the boat snapped. "Where would you like to go?"
"Me? I already told you where I wanted to go! A tropical island that has fruit!" Link said, throwing the sail up and just letting the wind take them in a random direction. "You don't even know where to go!" the boat said.
"No, but the wind does, and I am the waker of the winds! Muhahahahaha!"
"That's stupid, where'd you hear that one?"
"I made it up! I have this here wind thingy, so I am the wind waker!" Link said, waving a the wind baton in front of Larry's face. The boat simply gave another tired sigh.
…two days later…
"Come on, where's the tropical island?" Link whined as they sailed farther north. The sun was just setting when Link finally spotted an island in the distance. "Yay! Fruit!" he said happily. A few minutes later and he started to scream as they nearly got hit by an exploding barrel. "Oh, they're everywhere!" Link shouted as he ran head on into another one. "Would you mind steering already?!" the boat said as two more barrels exploded next to them. Link paid no attention to the boat as he merely grabbed the tiller so he had something to hold on to as the explosions rocked the small boat. Finally they cleared the dangerous waters, only to find that they had been approaching the Forsaken Fortress. "Noooooo!" Link shouted as they rammed through the large doors and entered the Fortress, barely avoiding all the bombs that were being shot at them. Link quickly pulled the sail in before they crashed. "How are we going to get out of here?" Link asked with a pout. The crazy monsters that were in charge of guarding the fortress were still trying to shoot at Link and his boat, even though they were now out of range. "You'll have to get rid of the spotlights so that we can sneak out!" the boat said cheerfully.
"But I don't want too!" Link protested.
He was ignored, however, as Larry gave Link a shove in the direction of the stairs, "Get going Link!" he said, happy to be left alone for awhile.
"Fine!" Link shouted, and he went stomping off. But, Link, who had no sense of direction at all (and also hardly any memory), accidentally went the wrong way and ended up back in the jail where his sister and the other girls had been previously held. The cell was now empty, of course, but this didn't stop Link from fully entering the room anyway. "I'm here!" he announced for no particular reason. Suddenly a ghost who closely resembled Ganondorf appeared. "There you are! I've been looking all over you!" the ghost said grumpily.
"Me?" Link asked in a small voice.
"It is now time for, tennis! One on one!" the ghost shouted, throwing a tennis ball at Link and hitting him right on his nose.
"Ow! Stupid ghost, no one messes with Super Link! Take this!" Link shouted as he threw the tennis ball back at the ghost. The ghost didn't seem to notice this however, as he suddenly started to spin around in the air. "Wheeeee!" he shouted, right before the tennis ball hit him. "Noooooo! You've destroyed me!" the ghost shouted as it slowly started to disappear. "That was easy," Link said.
The ghost left behind a large chest with a note taped to it as it faded into nothingness. Link opened the chest first and pulled out a large hammer, Link's only comment was: "Oh it's ugly!" before he stuffed it into his giant pocket. Next he examined the note, it read:
Dear Link,
Ahhahahahaha, I have complete control of the seagulls!
The End
-Aryll
"What's that got to do with anything?!" Link shouted as he started to make his way back to the large door. Before he could leave though, Tetra and her crew came running in, panting from running for so long. "What is wrong with you!?" Tetra asked as she slapped Link yet again. "You keep running into things without thinking!"
"Hey, it's what I do!" Link said with a wave of his hand.
"I noticed," Tetra said with a frown. "We had to distract that bird from you, it was just about to attack you again! Hey, what's that? Is that the Master Sword?"
"Yes, and you can't have it! Muhahahaha!"
"I didn't say I wanted it you fool! But now that you mention it, it is kind of pretty…" Tetra was just about to demand the sword from him when the giant bird she had been talking about before came crashing through the ceiling with a loud screech. "Oh darn, I guess we were distracting the wrong bird, oh well!" Tetra said as her crew went running back to their ship. "Good luck Link!" she said, and left as well.
"Wait for me!" Link shouted after her.
But before he could make it outside, the door sealed shut with a clang and water began to flood the room from below. "I can't swim!" Link shouted, and he began to run up the walkways that had magically appeared, making his way up to the roof. He had almost made it when suddenly the giant bird landed in front of him and bent his head down so he could get a better look at the little guy he was chasing. The bird was just about to suggest a truce when Link pulled out his hammer and smacked him on the beak with it. "Muhahahaha! Take that!" the boy shouted gleefully as the bird fell down towards the flooded room below. "Well that was easy too!" Link said as he happily jumped up onto the roof. The only way to go now was a small pathway that led up to a large room. Link was making his way towards this when the bird suddenly flew out onto the roof as well, screeching angrily. Link screamed and started to try and make a run for it, but spikes came out of nowhere and blocked his way. "Oh no! I don't want to die!" Link started to cry. Annoyed by this boy, the bird started to flap his wings angrily at Link to try and push him into the spikes that Link was standing dangerously close too. But the bird hadn't expected Link to be so light, so instead the boy was sent flying right over the spikes and through the window of the large room. The bird gave a sad sigh and then went back to its nest.
Meanwhile, Link had landed right next to Ganondorf, who was currently being forced by Aryll to attend one of her many tea parties. "Would Mr. Teddybear like more tea?" Ganondorf asked, trying to sound like he really cared so as not to anger the scary little girl.
"That's MissTeddybear you dolt! Do you not see the ribbons on her head?!" Aryll shouted angrily.
"But Mr. Cow has ribbons!" Ganondorf protested.
"That's because he's a cow! All cows have ribbons! Oh hi Link," Aryll said, waving at her brother who was trying to sneak outside.
"Hi Aryll, hi Ganondorf," Link said miserably.
"Ahha! Finally, someone to fight!" Ganondorf shouted as he stood up from the miniature table he had been forced to sit at.
"Well fine, I'll just make your army attend instead!" Aryll said and went marching off, her seagulls carrying all of her things for her. Ganondorf assumed a serious air before turning to Link. "So Link, do you remember when color returned to that castle under the sea?" he asked.
He then gave a sigh when Link started to sing, "Under the sea! Under the sea! Under the-"
"Stop that!"
"Oh fine! Stupid Ganondorf!"
"Now, you see, that little sword that you pulled out is like a key."
"Ooooo really? What does it unlock? Does it unlock a chest that holds lots of money?"
"No."
"Aw man!"
"Now be quiet! The Master Sword had previously held my powers away from me, but now that you have pulled it out, I am all powerful! Gwahahahaha!"
"Yeah, whatever."
"You cannot defeat me now! The Master Sword's power is gone!"
"No it's not!" Link argued, even though he didn't know anything about it.
"…Yes it is!"
"I'll prove it to you!" Link gave out a scream before trying to hit the tall man with his new sword. But, as usual, Link completely missed his target and hit the wall instead. Caught off balance, the boy tripped on the carpet and fell to the ground. "Darn! Let me try again!"
"No!" Ganondorf said, his patience starting to wane. "I will kill you now! Gwahahahaha!"
"Darn!" Link said, pouting. Before Ganondorf could do anything though, Tetra came out of nowhere and started to battle the evil man. "Link get up already!" Tetra said when she managed to get a break. "Never! I found money!" Link said. Tetra and Ganondorf paused for a few seconds to watch as Link crawled around on the floor, going under all the furniture and picking up a few green rupees that had been lying around. "That's mine!" Ganondorf shouted, grabbing Tetra as she started to jump around, trying to find some rupees herself. Ganondorf was about to grab the rupees that were already in the pirate's hands when suddenly the design on his own hand started to glow.
He pulled back in surprise, "How is this possible? I saw the picture of Zelda and she looks nothing like you! Did you shave?"
"What are you talking about? I'm not Zelda!" Tetra said, crossing her arms and waiting impatiently for him to put her down.
"You fool, I drew on those pictures!" Link shouted at him, starting to cackle maniacally.
"Ah, I see, you were trying to trick me into looking for someone else! You can't fool me! At last I have found you Princess!" Ganondorf started to laugh his evil laugh along with Link. "How long is this going to go on for? Do you have an estimate?" Tetra asked in an annoyed voice. Before either of the two laughing men could answer though, both Link and Tetra were suddenly whisked away by two of the bird peoples. "Hey, I didn't get my money back yet!" Ganondorf protested, just as the large dragon Valoo appeared, shooting flames everywhere. "Well I didn't get my milkshake yet!" Valoo shouted back. Soon the two were entering a long and pointless argument as the two birds carried Link and Tetra to safety.
"I'll meet you all at the Tower of the Gods!" Larry shouted up at them as they flew past.
"Ok!" Quill shouted back. Along the way, Link was annoying Tetra by singing his under the sea song, until she finally shouted at him to shut up. Link gasped in surprise at this before he hit her with his boomerang, causing her to fall into unconsciousness. "Muhahahaha! I got you!" Link shouted happily. The four finally arrived at the Tower, where Larry was already waiting for them. The two birds (the other one was the prince) dropped Link and the pirate into the boat before reassuring Link that Tetra was only unconscious. "I know that!" Link shouted at them.
"Don't worry Link, your sister is safe!" the prince said happily.
"Nooooo!"
"Thank you for your assistance," Larry said to the birds. "Right now, I think it would be best to get these two away from Ganondorf for awhile."
"Muhahahaha! So long losers!" Link shouted as the boat re-entered the circle of light.
Once they arrived (Link had held his breath again on the way down, but this time he hadn't passed out, he was obviously getting stronger lungs) Tetra awoke. She slapped Link for throwing the boomerang at her and then questioned him as to where they were and where Ganondorf had gone. "We're under the sea!" Link said, and he began his song all over again. Tetra slapped him again, and would've done it for a fourth time that day had she not been interrupted by her blue stone. She pulled it out curiously. "Hey, meet me at the basement of this place Link," said the voice of Larry through the stone.
"Stupid Larry, you're getting lazy! You don't even talk on your own anymore!" Link said, pointing an accusing finger at the boat.
"Who is this? How are you using my stone?" Tetra demanded.
"You will see!" Larry's voice said mysteriously.
"Link, take me to the basement of this place, I've got a few things to say to the guy who's using my stone!" Tetra said.
"Never!" Link shouted, and went running inside. He ran downstairs, only to find that Tetra had been following him, so he ended up showing her where the basement was anyway. "Darn!" Link said sadly.
"Who are you?" Tetra demanded suddenly. Link turned to see who she was looking at and saw a large man with his back turned to them, standing where the sword used to be. "Are you the one who is using my stone?" she asked angrily.
"…Maybe," the man said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Tetra asked, crossing her arms.
"I made the stones! I should be able to use them!" the man said, and started to cry.
"Now look at what you did!" Link scolded Tetra as he went over to the man. "Oh hey look, it's Stupid!" Link shouted excitedly as he recognized the man that had been in the other picture. Unfortunately, hearing this did nothing to make the man feel better, if anything it made him cry more. "Oh grow up already!" Tetra shouted. The man stopped crying, but every now and then his long speech that was coming up was interrupted by sniffling. "I am King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule! Teehee!" the man said. The two kids were quiet for awhile as they tried to figure out why he had said 'teehee'. "Link, you must recognize my voice?" the king said.
"Hmmmm, not really."
"Well how about this: Link you fool! You have to clear the rocks first!" the king shouted.
"Larry? Is that you? You're alive now! Hooray for you!" Link said, hugging the king happily.
"Get off! I've been alive this whole time… well sort of, I'm actually a ghost! Teehee!"
"Um, anyway, Tetra, come here!"
"What do you want?" Tetra asked grumpily, but she walked over to the king anyway.
"That necklace that you wear is actually a treasure from the royal family!" the king said.
"Treasure?" Link asked, perking up.
"It is time to reveal your true destiny." the king said as he placed her necklace piece into another piece to form a small triangle. At this point Link remembered that he loved treasure and he pushed Tetra out of the way and grabbed it himself. "Money!" he shouted, only to find himself a few seconds later to be wearing a pretty dress and covered in makeup. "Nooooo!"
"Give me that!" the king said, swiping the piece of Triforce away from the boy and handing it to Tetra. The minute the piece left Link's hands he returned back to his regular clothes. "Yay! That there is evil treasure!" Link shouted as he hid behind the king. A few minutes later Tetra had transformed into her true form. "Why is she a frog?" Link asked as Tetra croaked angrily and started to hop towards the king.
"Oops, that was the wrong piece! Teehee!" the king said happily. He grabbed the triforce from Tetra, broke it back into two pieces, and then put Tetra's piece with another one that the king had pulled out of his pocket.
"There we go!" The king tossed this new triangle to Tetra, and a few seconds later she was the princess Zelda.
"Yay!" Link said for no apparent reason, he just liked cheering sometimes.
"Now Link, you will have to restore power to the Master Sword before we can defeat Ganondorf," the king said while Tetra was still examining her strange glowing hand. "But I don't want to!" Link protested.
"Well you have to! So there!"
"Fine."
"You will have to talk to the two sages that reside on two different islands back on the surface. We need to find out what happened to them! Zelda, you'll have to stay here because Ganondorf is looking for you and he doesn't know about this place yet."
"Um, yeah, about that…" Link said hesitantly. "He was sort of here already."
"What?! Oh well, maybe we'll get lucky and he won't come back! Teehee! Link, meet me back at the boat!"
"Yeah, whatever." Link said and started to run back after the king had vanished. "Hey Link, um, I'm sorry for all that has happened…" Tetra/Zelda began. "Don't do anything stupid ok?" she said, just as Link was about to assure her that she didn't have to be sorry.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!" he shouted.
"Um, nothing?"
"Hmm, ok then! So long loser!" Link said as he went running back outside. He began to cackle maniacally as he pushed the giant statue of himself back over the exit so Tetra couldn't get out. "Loser!" he shouted again before running back outside.
I just realized that I have completly forgotten about the talking fish that fills in the seachart for you! I might get him in later, I'm not sure though, sorry to everyone who really loves the fish... I also noticed that the king's personality differed from when he was a boat (what with all the teeheeing), I didn't mean for that to happen, it just sort of turned out that way. Also I may not be able to get a chapter up by tomorrow, I'm sort of behind, sorry. And don't ask me how I got the idea for Ganondorf acting the way he did earlier, I was writing this and I just suddenly got this image of the man skipping around and doing nothing of use and I just had to put it in, lol. Anyway, thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed this chapter!
