A/N: This is the last one that came into my head. I got the idea from Skyward Sword, so this seemed like a natural one to do… I don't know, if you like it please let me know. I could continue, I think, on this idea. But if any of you out there would like me to do a game/scene in particular, let me know! And without further ado:

Demise and his last, ominous words flashed briefly in his mind. Yes, he would do that. She was Hylia…but she was still his Zelda.
