Well, here's the last chapter for this story. Thanks to those who read and reviewed this story. Now that Link has kicked out the other incarnations from his timeline and went to fight the dark forces with the Hyrulian troops, what other crazy things are in store?

"So, the Hero is reincarnated every time evil appears?"
"Yup. That's how the story goes."
"Man, that sucks…He can't ever be normal…Does he remember anything from his past lives?"
"I dunno. Why don't you ask him? If he can remember, anyway."

Chapter Three: The Final Battle
Hyrule Fields, near Hyrule Castle…
Link proudly marched off towards the castle, leaving many of his comrades behind. He wanted to prove to them that he was the best Link out of all the incarnations. Since the original plan was to take over different bases to lure the Demon King and his forces out, Link rushed in first, taking out many of the dark forces.
His comrades, which included Impa, Princess Zelda, Darunia, Ruto, Midna, Fi and Agitha, had a hard time trying to keep up and followed him all the way to the gates of Hyrule Castle. The castle looked more menacing than before and it looked as if Ganondorf had redecorated...
"Hey! Mr. Demon King!" Link yelled, standing in front of the castle gates.
"What are you doing?" Princess Zelda asked.
"I'm proving I'm the best Link! So, bring it on!" Link told her.
A trap door opened up underneath the eight and they fell to their doom…
"Oh come on! How did we get captured?" Link yelled.
The eight commanders were bound in chains and placed in a dungeon cell. Link couldn't figure out exactly what happened. They took out many of the opposing bases and controlled them. The army took out most of the dark forces. Also, they had reached the gates of Hyrule Castle.
"What did I do wrong?" Link asked.
"Well, you did taunt the Demon King, forgetting he has powerful magic," Impa said.
The Demon King Ganondorf appeared and said, "Seriously, Link. I had a whole elaborate plan and everything. How in the world did you fall into the basic of all traps? You didn't see the giant arrow on the ground, pointing to the trap?"
"Uh…no…" Link admitted.
Ganondorf shook his head, his hopes dashed for having a worthy opponent.
"Oh well. Time to die!" Ganondorf said, snapping his fingers.
The walls of the dungeon suddenly were filled with spikes and began moving towards the eight commanders. The eight commanders began screaming bloody murder, thinking the end was nigh. A few moments later, Link and the others realized how slowly the walls were coming towards them.
They looked at Ganondorf and he said, "I know. I wish they were faster too. I'm going to check on some things around the area. Just keep screaming."
He teleported out of the room and Link turned to his comrades.
"I believe you all have something to say to me," Link said, glaring at them.
"We're sorry," Agitha said.
"We'll train vigorously from now on," Princess Zelda told him.
"So call your other incarnations and let's get the heck outta here, Brother," Darunia said.
Link refused and said, "I'll save us. If I struggle, I can lose weight and slip my wrists out of these chains."
"What? Just call the other Links!" Midna yelled.
"Nope! They're not coming!" Link told her.
Fi shook her head and said, "I shall call them myself. Bah-bah-dah-dum!"
"That's not the song! It's 'Bah-bum-bah! Ba-ba-bah! Bum-ba!'" Ruto said.
"Why are you singing the Royal Family's lullaby?" Princess Zelda asked.
"No, it's 'Bah…bum…bah-bah…bum…'" Agitha sung.
"And that's the Song of Time," Captain Impa said.
"Stop it! They're not coming! My wrists are practically out!" Link said.
His wrists were nowhere near slipping out. Midna shook her head and told everyone, "No. No. NO. It was more like 'Dum...dee…dum…Dum-dum-dum…dee-dee…dum…'."
"And that's the Song of Twilight…" Princess Zelda said.
Link was fed up and said, "No. No. No. It goes like this!"
He then started to whistle the Song of the Hero in annoyance. Moments later, he realized his mistake and yelled, "NO! I take it back!"
A portal opened and out jumped Lana, after getting another Sealed Tome, and the many Links. The Sky Era Hero looked at the situation and said, "Oh my gods. It looks like you need help, current Link."
"YES!" the commanders cheered.
"NO!" Link yelled.
Ganondorf reappeared and checked the situation. The spikes were still slowly closing in and he was pleased. He then noticed Lana and the group of nine Links.
"Wait…Lana and Link? Link? Link? Link? Link? Link?! LINK? LINKS!" Ganondorf bellowed.
He snapped his fingers again and a large shadow appeared.
"ATTACK!" he ordered.
The commanders were terrified and the Links were ready to fight. Commanding the group, Twilight Era Link said, "Let's show him who the best Link is, with Lana's help. LINKS AND MISS LANA GO!"
The shadow turned into a giant hand, slamming the group of Links and Lana to the floor, knocking the new group unconscious. Ganondorf bound them in chains and tossed them into the dungeon cell.
He looked at it and said, "Hmm…the spiked walls weren't made for this many people. So, I need you all to scoot in closer for me. Otherwise I have to activate the walls again and that's just a hassle."
They did and the spiked walls resumed closing in.
Link turned to his comrades and said, "Guys. If this is it, I just want you all to know…since these losers FAILED, that means I'm in the running again for the best Link! Woo! Oh yeah!"
"Oy! You were captured first!" Great Sea Link yelled.
Darunia shook his head and told the group, "Look. Each of you guys got different strengths. Like Twilight Era Link's good at combat and Hero of Time Link is good at playing the ocarina."
"Yes and Force Era Links are good at the massage," Princess Zelda said.
Vio of the Force Era Links piped up and said, "Feet are the key to the perfect massage…"
"And Downfall Era Link is good at catching butterflies," Agitha added.
"Patience is required for bug catching. Swing wildly and you won't catch any bugs," Downfall Era Link said.
Link understood and said, "Yeah. I guess we should accept what we're good at and what we're not."
"Yep…Especially since we'll all be dead soon…" Blue of the Force Era Links said, looking at the spiked walls.
Everyone saw the walls closing in ever so slowly and resumed screaming.
"WAAH!" they yelled.
They all closed their eyes, feeling as if it was truly the end, when the walls suddenly stopped moving. The sound of punches, kicks and sword swipes was heard and the group opened their eyes. Ganondorf was lying on the ground, severely injured and the group saw a young man oddly in similar appearance to the current era Link.
His clothes were of a dark green jacket, a black leather shirt, pants, boots and dark glasses. He pointed the Master Sword at the fallen Ganondorf and the Demon King could only say, "Curse you…Future Era Link."
He had also defeated the shadow, cutting the thing into ribbons. The future era Link chanted something under his breath, sealing the Demon King and the shadow away. He then turned to the group, taking off his glasses and looking at them in pity.
Link remembered seeing him while out in that era, looking for popcorn. He then said, "Oh yeah…That's the best Link! Me from the distant future, when Hyrule was turned into a metallic city!"
"Wow…So, this is how we look like?" Sky Era Link said.
The future era Link shook his head and said, "I can't believe I got captured like this…You really didn't see the big giant arrow on the ground?"
"Um…no…No, I didn't…" Link admitted.
He found a set of keys opened the cell. The future hero unlocked the chains binding the group and led them out of the dungeons.
Later…
"Okay, so I guess this is goodbye," Great Sea Era Link said.
The heroes, after helping change Hyrule Castle back to its original self, stood in the courtyard with the current era Link, Princess Zelda, Captain Impa, Lana and the other soldiers. The princess thanked the ten Links and commanders, happy that they won against the forces of darkness.
Link of the current era said, "Yeah, I guess this really is. Well, hopefully one of you guys write this down somewhere."
"Uh…that's usually Zelda's job…" the future era Link told him.
"Oy!" Captain Impa yelled.
"She's not a princess in my time," he told her, hoping not to get slapped in the back of the head.
Midna smirked and said, "Well, the next time a cataclysm comes a-calling, you know who to call."
Agitha, Twilight Era Link and she left, walking through a portal back into their time.
"Yep. We'll always be at the ready, Brother!" Darunia said.
Ruto, Hero of Time Era Link and Darunia walk into a portal back to that era.
"I guess we'll be going to. See ya in another…um…2,000 years?" Sky Era Link said, leaving through a portal with Fi.
Three more portals, each to the eras of the Four Sword, Great Sea and far future appeared. The Links of the Force Era thanked the princess and the current era Link before hopping in. The Great Sea Era Link gave a bow and jumped into his portal. The last of the Links, the one from the far future, told his past self, "Please pay attention to your surroundings from now on. I don't think you getting captured again would be good for me."
He jumped into his portal and the others closed through Lana's machinations. She then turned to the three commanders that were left and said, "Well, if you need me, you know where to find me."
She disappeared and Hyrule was safe and at peace once more…until the next calamity that is…
Well, that's the last chapter. And if they ever make a Zelda with futuristic themes, I would play it. So…review?
