Disclaimer: no.

Link woke up and looked out of the window. The sun wasn't up but the night sky wasn't that dark. He tried going back to sleep but strangely he couldn't make himself do so. He sighed and got out of bed. He went to the table to draw something to pass the time but he saw the Ocarina of Time and a rolled up piece of paper. He opened it and with every note you get, he read it.
Link, I will give you the Ocarina of Time back. I think it will aid you going to and in the last temple. After reading this, please go straight to the temple.
Zelda
Link smiled. I knew she was going to give me back the ocarina! Good thing I told Epona to come when I play her song. He put the item in his pocket and put on his boots. He went back to the table and got out a piece of paper and something to write with. He wrote went to the next temple. The Hero got his other items and went outside the room; he closed the door on the piece of paper so if someone was passing the door they could see it. He went downstairs to the kitchen to grab some snacks and was on his way.
"Hey girl." Link said to his mare after he played her song and was on her back. The horse neighed in return.
When they arrived in front of the Gerudo Fortress the sun was already at the middle of the sky. Monsters slowed them down and Link was running out of arrows so he had to do it the slow way. He crossed the bridge expecting the Gerudo that was guarding the huge gate to let him pass but she did the opposite.
"Hey!" The Hero shouted when the women pointed her spear near his chest.
" What is your business here?"
" I'm just passing, I need to go to the temple."
" I don't believe you."
"Just let him pass Taki." The Great Hero looked behind him to see Nabooru, her hands on her hips. The other red head sighed, lowered her spear and raised her left hand. The Gerudos in the stone tower lowered their bows and opened the gate.
The town seemed more active since the Hero came here, which never happened. Children (all of them girls) were running around playing or training while older ones were chatting with others. There were houses instead of fortresses and some dogs were also running around.
"The dogs are new. I know they can't be pets so what are they for? The houses are also new and this place is more active." Link said after observing the area.
"Link. Link. Link." Nabooru said shaking her head and crossing her arms. "What did you expect? It's been seven years since you last been here; you should of visited more often. Oh and the dogs are for fighting the monsters that get through the walls and for warning us if there are any flying beasts overhead."
" Where do you put your prisoners?" The Gerudo smiled like a starving cat that just spotted a mouse.
" We still have some fortresses back there, near the gate to the desert." She pointed her thumb behind her. Link looked through the open gate to see Epona waiting in front of the bridge.
" What am I going to do with my horse?"
"Taki!" The redhead yelled causing the other women to jump. " Take Link's horse to the stable." Taki grumbled something and walked towards the horse.
" Wel-"The dogs suddenly started barking madly. Everyone went inside their houses except for the Hero and the Gerudo leader. Link looked at the sky trying to spot a monster but the sun was blocking his view. He noticed a black speck growing bigger near a cloud. He took out his bow and arrows but he noticed he only had two arrows left.
"Nabooru, where can I get some arrows?" He asked the Gerudo who had her weapons out.
"Uh. Go ask for some in the tower." The Hero looked for a door on the stone wall. After finding it, he ran up the stairs as fast as he could. When he got to the top, he placed his hands on his knees catching his breath. He raised his head to see the guards aiming at him with their bows.
"Whoa, I'm just here to ask for some arrows." Link said stepping back.
" For what?" One of the Gerudo asked ready to let go of the arrow.
" Don't you hear the dogs? Something's up there." One of the guards looked at the sky.
" I don't see anything, and if there is something up there, it's taking mighty long to land. They always land right here."
Nabooru was still looking at the sky. She saw the black thing and heard a screech. The guards in the tower probably couldn't see it because of their angle to the sun. She sighed and sat down, listening to the shouting coming from the tower. How long has it been since the dogs started barking? Five minutes? She closed her eyes in anger from hearing all the shouting.
"Just give him the blasted arrows." She yelled not taking it anymore. There was silence. After a couple of seconds, Link came out of the tower and aimed his arrow at the sky. He saw a bird, charging at him! He shot his arrows at it but they bounced off. He quickly dodged it and watched it land. Nabooru never noticed it get closer.
It had features of a hawk but a longer tail shaped like a waterfall. It was about a couple of inches taller than the houses and had a silver helmet covering it's face. It was black but the tips of it's wings and tail was pure white. Unlike most of monsters the Hero faced, it had pupils.
It screeched and started walking towards the gate, almost stepping on the two. The dogs suddenly jumped on it and started biting and scratching. Nabooru ran to it's feet attacking it while Link tried to shoot it's eye. The bird ignored it's attackers and started to destroy the gate and towers. The guards tried their best to escape and attack at the same time but some were lost when it fell. The Hero jumped on it's back and reached inside his pocket to get some bombs but he grabbed the Megaton Hammer instead. He got an idea. He climbed it's back until he was on it's neck and swung his hammer on the beast's helmet thing. It made a huge crack and the bird screeched making Link drop his hammer.
"Nabooru! Get my hammer!" The Hero said hanging onto the bird's neck for his dear life. Nabooru turned her head to see the silver object. She ran for it but the black and white beast saw her after it literally turned the towers, walls, and gate to dust. When the Gerudo touched the hammer, the bird made a sound that sounded like a growl and started running towards her. She grabbed it and tried picking it up but it was heavier than she thought. She used all her strength to lift it off the ground but only an inch.
"Come on! It's not that heavy!" The Hero shouted.
" You have the Golden Gauntlets! Of course it won't be heavy for you." She ran away from the monster that looked like it was about to headbutt her. She suddenly turned around and sighed, she had this idea when she saw Link pull the hammer out. She held the hammer above her head but she began to stagger. As the hawk came closer and closer, she was getting ready. As it touched her chest, she slammed the hammer right on it's head. Hard. The impact on it's head was so great that it's head hit the ground and bounced three times. It made one last ear pitching scream before it died, it's helmet falling off and showing it's blood covered head.
" It's weird that it didn't die from blood loss." Nabooru said looking at the dead monster. I wonder why the last fire sage made the temple monsters turn to sand.
" Huh what do you mean?" Then he realized the giant bird footprints made out of blood. " Oh yeah you were attacking it's feet."
" Congratulations Hero and Nabooru, good thing you killed it before it called for backup." The two turned around but they didn't see anyone. " You whoo! Down here." As instructed, they looked to see a gray wolf with yellow eyes sitting down. Nabooru opened her mouth to say something but Link interrupted her.
" Who are you?" The Hero of Time asked. The hound put a paw on his ( Link thinks it's a he.) chest, looking a little hurt and disappointed.
" Hero of Time, I'm hurt." He closed his eyes and nodded. " Well no not really. Guess what my name is, come on we met before." He lied down on the dry floor yawning.
"Hmm, your K-K- Kheinos. "
" It's Kheino."
"Umm… Link." Nabooru put a hand on his shoulder and pointed at the sky, it was about sunset.
" Oh Farore I got to go!" He ran for the desert not saying goodbye to the two.
" Hey wait up!" The wolf ran to the clad in green that was kicking dirt behind him. The Gerudo sighed as she watched the two go.
" Can someone please help me rebuild the gate?" Some of the doors to the houses opened a crack, seconds later Gerudos came out wanting to help.
As soon as they passed the gate, their eyes started to sting from the sandstorm. The two tried to look for the flags but did not succeed. Link pulled out his Ocarina of Time and tried to play Song of the Storms but sand went in his mouth when he was taking a deep breath. He started spitting making his mouth dry.
" Hey Kh-" He looked to his side to where the mammal was but he was gone. He saw something blurry sticking out of the ground like a dead fat plant. After rubbing his sand filled eyes , he noticed it was a tail. His eyes widened with shock, he grabbed the tail tightly and started pulling it. The mutts body began to emerged out of the sand. After his whole body was out , he started sneezing.
" Uh, can you put me down?" Kheino asked looking at the Hero without moving his head.
" Oh, uh, yeah. Your kind a getting heavy." He dropped him expecting the sand to soften his fall but he heard him make a whining sound. Link put his hand over his mouth and nose and took a deep breath, he quickly put his lips on the instrument and started playing it but it sounded strange. He put it upside down and saw sand come out of the holes.
" Hat." The mutt murmured trying to make a den out of the sand. Link touched the top of his head and felt the cloth, he took it off his head and examined it the best he could with sand in his eyes. It looked fine.
He suddenly felt like somebody smacked him upside his head. He understood what the wolf was talking about. Link put the Ocarina of Time inside his hat and held it from the outside. He played the Song of the storms and looked out in the distance to see a flash of lighting. When a lighting flashed, it lit up the area a little but Link saw the flag. He picked Kheino up by the scruff of his neck and raced to where the flags were.
When the storm the Hero of Time made was gone, they were already at the stone building the poe was at but they went inside to get some rest first. Link got out his canteen and almost drank all of water, he put some of the liquid in his eyes so he can see better.
"Hey how about me!" The wolf barked. The teen tiredly spilled some water above the mutts nose while he started lapping it.
" I'm going to the temple. I guess I'll see you later. You said you were only going to help me once." Link stood up and headed for the exit wiping sweat of his brow.
" You don't think I came all the way here to get tons of sand in my eyes so you can leave me? I'm coming with you."
" You can't. I have to go there alone. Something about being the hero and doing things without any assistance." He was still standing in front of the hole in the wall looking out side.
" I can't fight. I never hurt anything except for this one fire boar that came into the village and I don't know anything about the temple so I can't help you navigate."
" I don't know, the Three might get mad."
" I won't help you on anything, I'll just keep you company."
" Okay fine but if the Goddesses punishes me, I'll blame you."
"Yes finally some adventure." In the corner of his eye he saw something blue. He walked to it and noticed what it was right away, the Water Orb. Nabooru told him about it; it must of somehow fell out of the Hero's pocket. He looked at it for a while; he started to feel like he just drank a whole canteen of clear, cold, spring water. Then he felt cold water envelop him like he jumped into a lake. It felt really nice. He felt like there was water on him, inside and out.
" Hey Kheino, are you coming?" Link turned his head to see Kheino lying down on the ground looking at Water Orb. He raised an eyebrow, why was the wolf smiling? He snatched the orb making Kheino immediately snap out of his trance. He shivered a bit.
" That was awesome!" The wolf stood up and started waging his tail.
" What was?" The mutt looked at him as if he had four ears, one eye, and a tail.
" Just look at it for a while." Link did what he was commanded to do. He started to feel like four people dumped bucket full ice cold water on him.
" Whoa!" He started to shiver but he stopped after a couple of minutes. He put the sphere back in his pocket." I think we stayed here long enough lets go."
After following the poe in circles, they reached the Spirit Temple. Link clapped his hands together.
" This is the final temple. The only thing that stands in my way from beating up that evil dude who is making chaos everywhere. I hope he is the last evil doer to step foot in Hyrule. If I don't come out of this temple alive, everyone will be doomed." He ran inside making a manly yell. Kheino sighed. I wonder if it was wise not to tell him to go to the Great fairy first. He sighed again and followed the Hero of Time.
A cloak figure smiled after he incinerated the monsters he created for training. It stomped on their ashes and sat down on a fallen tree frowning.
" I am finally stronger than Him; everyone hoped that I won't become anything like Him. Now I just crushed that hope." He whispered to himself. " After I'm done taking care of that pathetic so called 'Hero', I'll give Him a slow agonizing death." Monsters formed out of the ground and looked at their master.
" Where shall we strike next?" The cloak figure was silent but a smile suddenly spread on it's face.
"Hyrule Castle."
