See you at the end, when you view this story differently.

It's been a wild ride,

DLJK (Elias)

Link shuffled his feet nervously. There were ten of them, and ten thousand of the Stalfoes. But maybe Dark Link would be leading them. He clenched his fists at the thought of his shadow form.

The skull warriors drew ever closer. Every second he stood there Link's heart rate went up a few beats. HIs heart was pounding and the warriors were only halfway to the town.

He drew shallow breath after shallow breath. All was quiet but for the gentle thump of the stalfoes.

What was making him so fearful? He usually went up against enemies with the utmost confidence. Then it hit him.

He died.

The last time he fought them he was killed.

Link took a deep breath. Would he die again? Maybe. But that wouldn't stop him. Everyone he loved was depending on him. He couldn't lose.

He drew his sword, and got in a batttle stance.

Half a mile. That was all that was left.

"Prepare for battle! Close the gates! Archers, aim!"

Hundreds of archers stood, high above on the border walls. It was on.

The stalfoes stopped, merely ten yards from them.

"Greetings. Please, lower your weapons. We only want Link." Came an all too familiar voice.

It couldn't be. Ganondorf.

"Of course, my king." The village leader proclaimed.

The archers turned their aims to Link. Two warriors came to Link's side with Saria and Jade tied up and their mouths taped.

"What is this?" Nabooru asked, steeping from the ranks.

"Ah Nabooru. What a traitor to your people. Why is it you are here?" Ganondorf asked.

"I'm the spirit sage. I'm going to help Link put you down." She cried defiantly.

"Well, I'm sorry to tell you that there are only two sages there and one triforce. Against the most powerful triforce of all!" Ganon snarled.

From the Gerudo waterfall swam Ruto.

"Three." She was water.

A goron named Link burst from the ground. Darunia's son.

"Four." He was fire.

The ropes burst from around Jade and she lit up with power.

"Five." She was light.

Saria burst from the ropes aswell.

Forest.

A strange man walked from one of the houses. He had a huge pack full of masks on his back.

"Six."

Link was astounded.

"We will bring you down ganon! He yelled.

All they needed now was Zelda.

"We'll hold Ganon off! There's a portal behind him, get to it!"

Link nodded.

"You shall never win Link!"

"Whatever."

The gates opened, and the stalfoes charged in. Archers rained arrows down on the Heroes. The sages created a shield around them, keeping all away from them while they attempted to hold ganon back.

Link ran into the ranks of skull warriors, his two swords slicing through the surprised warriors. They were closing in, Link was fighting them off as best he could, but there were too many. He was surrounded by thousands of stalfoes, and the circle was getting rapidly smaller. He was going to die. He thought. After all he'd gone through. there would be no more second chances. The fairies were dead. The sages were behind him. It was over.

But he wouldn't go without a fight. He swung at the stalfoes killing more of them. but it was no use. They still closed in. A stab to his gut. Pain flowed through his body. A club smashed into his ribs. Arrows stabed into his back. Something completely shattered his left leg bone and another club cracked his skull. Maybe it was the same club, it was all a blur. He fell to his knees, the pain unbearable.

Please! Just kill me!

But they suddenly stopped. Something grabbed Link and he was hanging onto something and dragging on the ground at a very fast pace. He opened his eyes.

Epona... But somebody was on her, holding onto his broken arm. The person pulled him onto Epona. Link drew a shallow breath. Something had crushed one of his lungs.

It looked like a child. The skull kid!

"Hang on!" he yelled.

Easier said than done.

Link was barely holding on.

----

Saria sighed.

I hope he hasn't forgotten about me...

Saria smiled in spite of the situation.

She couldn't believe she was about to do this.

1...2...3...

Saria removed her power from the energy.

The shield flickered and died, and the spell on ganon was broken.

Link would die.

----

They rode onward. They were almost to the portal in the air. Link didn't feel like he could make that leap. It was about ten feet in the air.

"Jump now Link!" The skull kid exclaimed.

But unfortunately for them, Ganon heard him.

"Not do fast! I've waited too long for this moment." Ganon screamed.

He sped at them at hyperspeed. In a split second he was flying right next to Epona, keeping pace perfectly.

He drew his huge sword. Terror slashed through Link's mind.

Ganon sliced at Link. Link braced himself for death, but it never came; Ganon was frozen in mid-swing.

Link was empowered with newfound confidence and leapt from the horse, using every single ounce of energy in his body.

He was almost there, the momentom from the horse pushing him higher. 7 feet...8...9... His arm was in! But he stopped. Link's heart sank as he looked down; Ganon had grabbed his foot, and was dragging him down. But ganon was still going slowly, the sages' spell had not quite gone out yet. There was still a fraction of a chance.

The portal was pulling him upward, and Ganon was pulling him down. He wasn't moving at all, but his limbs were stretching. The strain on his almost destroyed body was causing Link a greater pain than he had ever felt in his life. He felt as though his whole body was going to tear in two. But Link still fought. He kicked Ganon in the face with his other leg and Ganons grip loosened. Link tugged his constrained leg and broke free, speeding into the last thing Link saw was Ganon howl in pain, firing a huge blast Epona and skull kid.

All was black, he was floating in an endless universe, and the experience was quite nice. He was forgetting all about his responsibilities. He was suddenly thrown into a stream, full of little windows, each showing a different place. Houses, forests, everything.

What was he floating in here for? Why was something nagging in the back of his carefree mind?

What had he fought for, when he could be in this peace, this happiness.

Sa... What was it? Something like Sarah? Sar... Sari... wait, there was more...Eld... Ja...Who was it?

His bliss was punctured.

Zelda!

He had to find Zelda. Then he could save them all.

Link focussed on this one thought. Zelda.

Everything flashed white, and Link tumbled into the Sacred Realm.

---

Nabooru was putting all her energy into the shield, holding it as long as she could. But something hit her. Saria blasted her with green energy, sending nabooru tumbling into the ranks of stalfoes.

Link turned into a ball and rammed Saria, but she leapt out of the way, encasing him in green energy.

The stalfoes were charging at them now that the shield was broken.

They slaughter Ruto, her body falling limply to the ground. Jade focussed on keeping Ganon frozen. The stalfoes behind her stabbed her, and she was dead.

The happy mask salesman simply stood there, letting the stalfoes come closer.

He put on a mask.

Majora's mask.

The area exploded, knocking everyone away and setting them on fire. the black fire drained the life from them and thier bodies dropped, unharmed.

The stalfoes died, leaving a field full of dead bodies.

The only people left alive were the happy mask salesman, and Ganondorf.

The happy mask salesman collapsed, dead.

And ganon laughed.

---

Link rose in the sacred realm. His mental link with Saria had broken, and he was worried sick right now. His wounds had healed and he was feeling fitter than ever.

He was in a dark room with only a throne in it. There was one door, and Link headed through it.

He was in a small hallway with two jail cells in it. He glanced around and saw Zelda in one of the cells.

Link's heart leapt.

He drew his bombs and blew the bars open.

"Zelda!" He shouted, running in.

"Link..." came Zelda's raspy voice. She hadn't used her voice in seven years.

She was filthy, wearing an extremely outgrown dress that barely covered he privates.

Link extened his hand to help her up, and she took it excitedly.

And she kissed him.

Link was dazed, his heart was pounding.

They stayed locked in the kiss.

They slammed against the wall. Zelda ran her hand through Link's fluffy blond hair, and she was surprised to find it was shoulder length from all seven years.

Link broke the embrace, they both gasped for breath.

"Listen, Zelda. We have to go now! There will be time for kissing later. Come on!"

Zelda obliged and they ran from the cell, heading back to the throne room. They were next to the portal.

"We jump on three. One...Two...Thr-!"

Something struck from the shadows.

---

Dark Link rammed Link with his shield.

Link was thrown back, skidding across the cold floor.

"Well, if it isn't my old friend." Dark Link said.

Link wiped the blood from his lip and stood.

"You wanna dance?" Link asked.

"With you? Of course. It would be my pleasure."

"Whatever."

The fight was on.

They traded blows with expert timing. Thier blows were nothing but a blur to Zelda's eyes.

The fought with a ferocity Zelda had never seen before.

Link had a fire in his eyes, mirrored in Dark Link's.

The blades sparked as they clashed.

Link spun with his sword, Dark Link backflipped put of the way.

"Did I ever tell you something?" Dark Link asked.

"What?" Link asked through gritted teeth."

"Your dear Saria has killed all the sages by now."

"Liar!"

Link charged at Dark Link, but he ducked the swift swing, sending a stab to Link's gut. Link dodged to the side, and struck again. Dark Link blocked, and the two pressed thier swords against each other's as hard as they could. Dark Link was overpowering Link. But Link drew another sword, the cerulian sword, and struck with it. This blow surprised Dark Link, and he barely dodged. Link stabbed his off balance foe with the master sword. It went strait into dark Link's heart.

Link shoved the blade of evil's bane ever farther into D-Link's chest.

And His eyes went from red to white. Dark Link's face still had the gost of a smirk.

Link panted as he sheathed his sword.

"Come on..." He said horsely.

And they went into the portal together.

---

Link and Zelda landed with a thud in the bloodbathed field.

Link's delight of victory vanished at the sight of the field.

Not a soul alive.

"Well, well. It seem's you were able to finally defeat my servant. Excellent work, as always Link. But now, it would seem as though it is time for me to destroy you."

"Not so fast, ganon! The seven sages are together, and we will destroy you."

Ganondorf chuckled.

"Your sages are all dead, with the exception of our dear princess. And we can fix that, can't we?"

His heart sank. All?

Link drew the master sword.

"Whatever."

---

Link charged. This was it.

This time he would KILL Ganon. His anger swelled inside him, But he allowed it to channel into his sword.

Link leapt at ganondorf, delivering an almighty blow to his chest. Ganon blocked, twirling around and slicing at Link. He dodged to the side, throwing bombs at his foe. Ganon used magic to redirect the bombs at Link. He took cover behind his shield. Link rolled from behind his shield, leaving it behind as he took his bow out. He nocked an arrow as Ganon charged, bloodlust in his eyes. Link fired an ice arrow. Ganon dodged, striking Link from the air. Link dodged the lunge, and countered with a sword strike. Ganon block with his own, pulling back and striking again. Link and Ganon were locked in combat. Swords sparked and clanged. Link's two swords were equal to Ganons one Widesword. Ganon Leaped back, hovering in the air as he shot orbs of energy at Link. Link hit them back with his sword. Ganon deflected them again and there was orbs flying everywhere, Link dodging and deflecting them as best as he could. The orbs were over powering Link, and he couldn't keep up the dodging and leaping much longer. Sweat dripped down his face. Link jumped behind a rock. It wouldn't hold long, so he had to act fast. Link pulled his arow of light out. His last one. One shot. Link nocked the arrow and the rock exploded, blowing Link back, his bow and arrow flying to the side. Link scrambled to his bow and arrow in the chaos, barely avoiding a shot of energy. He grabbed his bow and arrow and aimed. he took a blind shot. Ganon dodged. Despair filled Link's heart. The arrow fell to the ground. He could still get it and shoot ganon again. Link weaved through the orbs dodging and rolling as best he could. Exhaustion was starting to fill Link. He's been through too much. An orb hit him in the back. He was blasted to the ground, ganon lowering to finish orbs stopped. Link was stunned by the shot. His whole body was numbed. Conciousness drifted away. Link fought it as hard as he could. Ganon was going to kill him. The arrow was just a few feet away. Maybe he could reach it. He extended his arm. Ganon raised the sword above his head, aiming at Link's chest. Just an inch away. He couldn't quite reach it. Ganon prepared to strike. He got it! Link nocked the arrow. ganon was stabbing at him, the blow would hit him...Now! Link fired the arrow, it hit Ganon straight in the chest. He keeled over in agony, the light was devouring him. Link stabbed Ganondorf with his master sword.

He was finished.

Zelda ran to Link.

They embraced, Link collapsed.

---

Link waved the Zelda as he returned the master sword to it's pedestal.

And a familiar blue Light surrounded him.

He was going home.

As he passed things were uncovered to him.

Saria wasn't really turning into a stalfoe. It was Ganondorf, using his spell on her.

But nothing mattered to Link anymore.

He was going to be with Saria...
