Link and Zelda appeared in the Chamber of Sages and Impa appeared in a flash of black light.
"Figures a Sheikah would be the Shadow Sage" said Link
"Thanks to you I have awaken as a Sage" said Impa
"I am glad you are alright Princess" she said smiling
"My power goes with you" she said handing over the Shadow Medallion
The other sages appeared with Ruto shouting "You're a Goddess"
"WHAT" yelled Impa?
"A Goddess" she shouted
"Tell everyone why don't you" said Zelda sighing
"It appears that even you have forgotten your original duty Sheikah" said Rauru
"What are you talking about" asked Impa
"He talking about the reason why the Sheikah guard the Royal Family" said Zelda
"We will go while you learn your history" said Link
Link and Zelda disappeared from the Chamber of Sages and reappeared behind graveyard behind Kakariko Village. Sheik appeared before them and said "The final temple lies in an oasis in the Gerudo Desert that is beyond the Gerudo's Fortress"
"I shall see you there" he said
"Farewell" he said as he disappeared
"We have to go through enemy territory to get to the last temple" said Link
They left the graveyard and went to the Inn for the night.
The next morning they left Kakariko Village and Link called Epona. Epona came up to them and they got on and rode to Gerudo Valley.
When they arrived they saw that the bridge was out. "The bridge is out" said Link
"Do you think you can jump it Epona" he asked
Epona nodded her head as she back up while Zelda increased her grip on Link. Epona galloped forward and jumped over the ravine and landed on the other side. Both Link and Zelda got off and Link saw Zelda shaking a little.
"That couldn't have scared you Zelda" said Link
"Since you regularly jumped off of Skyloft onto your Loftwing" he said
"Loftwings can fly while Epona can't" said Zelda huffing
"Can you please help me" said a voice behind them
Link and Zelda turned around and saw a bald man with mustache. "Who are you" asked Link
"I'm Mutoh the head carpenter"
"My carpenters ran off and were captured by the Gerudo" he said
"Could you rescue them" he asked
"We will" said Link
"Great" exclaimed Mutoh
"Their fortress is straight ahead along this path" he said
"How many carpenters are there" asked Link
"Four of them" said Mutoh
Link and Zelda walked down the path until a staircase cut into the cliff came into view. "They probably have guards on the stairs" said Link thinking out loud
"Fi, Navi" he called out
"Yes Master" asked Fi
"What is it" asked Navi
"Go distract the guards" said Link
"It shall be done Master" said Fi
"On it" said Navi
They both flew off and got the attention of the guards. "Get back here" shouted the guards
Link and Zelda snuck past the stairs and made their up a slope hiding in the shadows. Zelda took out her bow and took out the three guards that were chasing Fi and Navi. Once they were down Fi and Navi came back to Link. "Good job" said Link smiling
"Thank you Master" said Fi
"Thanks" said Navi
Fi then went back into the Master Sword while Navi hid under Link's hat.
Link and Zelda snuck into the fortress and came into the area where the first prison cell was.
"You came to save me" exclaimed Ichiro
"Look out" he shouted
Link and Zelda spun around and raised their shields in time to block the two scimitars of the Gerudo Thief. The Thief backflip away from them before she started spinning towards them her scimitars held out. Link blocked the attack with his shield while Zelda slashed at her side. The Thief cried out in pain allowing time for Link to kill her.
Zelda searched the body and took out a small key and unlocked the prison door.
"Thank you for saving me" said Ichiro running away
Link and Zelda went outside and back in through another door. They came into a hallway and saw a guard patrolling the other end of it. When the guard came back Zelda took her out with an arrow. They went down the hallway and turned the corner and saw a room at the end with two guards patrolling. Zelda took out the two guards when they appeared and they went into the room.
They crossed the room and went up the stairs and came into an area where the second prison cell was. They were ready this time. While Link went to go talk to the carpenter Zelda stood behind him with her shield ready to block the Thief's attack.
"You came to save me" exclaimed Jiro
"Look out" he shouted
Zelda blocked the Thief's two scimitars while Link slashed at her. The Thief tried to jump back but couldn't get away in time and crashed into the floor hard. The Thief cried out in pain as Zelda finished her off. She searched the Thief's body and found a small key and unlocked the prison door.
"Thank you for saving me" said Jiro running away
They left the prison area and Link killed the guard that was standing just outside the area. They jumped down a couple of levels and went through a door into another prison area.
Doing the same as last time, Link went to talk to the carpenter while Zelda guarded his back.
"You came to save me" exclaimed Sabooro
"Look out" he shouted
A Gerudo Thief swung her scimitars at Zelda who blocked them with her shield. Link slashed at her side causing her to scream out in pain allowing Zelda to kill her. She then searched the Thief's body and took out a small key and unlocked the prison door.
"Thank you for saving me" said Sabooro
"I will tell you what I overheard the Gerudo saying" he said
"Only those that can see truth will find a guide through the desert" he said
"Bye" he shouted running away
"Looks like we will need the Lens of Truth to get through the desert" said Link
They left the prison area and went back to the room the two guards were in and went up the staircase on the other side. Zelda took out the guard at the end of the hall and they entered the final prison area.
"You came to save me" exclaimed Shiro
"Look out" he shouted
A Gerudo Thief jumped down to attack them only to be blocked by Zelda's shield. Link slashed at her side allowing Zelda to kill her. She then searched the body and took a small key and unlocked the prison door.
"Thank you for saving me" said Shiro as he ran away
"You both would make fine thieves the way you snuck through our fortress" said a voice behind them
Link and Zelda spun around and saw a more ornately dressed Gerudo standing there.
"We are not thieves" growled Link
"It looks like you need to train your male more on obedience" said Aveil
Link growled at that clutching the Master Sword tighter.
"But he would never compare to the Great Ganondorf" said Aveil laughing
Zelda shot forward and stabbed Aveil in the heart causing her to cough up blood. "He is not great" growled Zelda tearing out her sword
"Don't worry your master will be joining you soon" said Link
They left the fortress and made their way to the entrance to the desert.
"Navi" said Link
"Go check for guards and lead them to us" he said
"Right" said Navi as she shot off
She came back being chased by a guard that Zelda took out with an arrow.
"Is that all of them" asked Link
"Yes" said Navi
"Good work" said Link smiling
"Thank you" said Navi
She then went back to hiding underneath Link's hat.
They walked up to the entrance and saw the gate was down. They saw a ladder off to the side and Link said "Go check the top Fi"
"Yes Master" said Fi
She flew up to the top and pushed off the Gerudo guard that Zelda killed after she crashed into the sand. Fi came back down and said "There is a switch up there to open the gate"
"Thank you Fi" said Link
"You are welcome Master" said Fi as she disappeared back into the Master Sword
Link climbed up the ladder and opened the gate before coming back down.
Link and Zelda went into the desert and saw a sign a head. "To safely cross the desert you must pass three trials" read Link
"You must cross the River of Sand without walking over it, find and follow the flag poles, and follow the ghost that only those that can see truth can see" he finished
Once they walked past the sign a terrible sandstorm appeared making it hard to see. Link took Zelda's hand and they continued on.
They eventually came upon a crate sitting in the sand and could barely see another one off in the distance.
"I guess this must be the River of Sand" said Link
He wrapped his arm around Zelda's waist and shot the Longshot at the other crate pulling them across the River of Sand.
After following a few flag poles they came to a stone building. They went to the top of the building and saw a plaque. "Only those that can see the truth will be guided safely out of the desert" read Link
Making sure he was still holding Zelda's hand, Link used the Lens of Truth and saw a Poe slowly moving away from the building. They jumped off the building and chased after the Poe leading them on a winding path, ignoring any Leevers that appeared, until they arrived at the Desert Colossus.
Once they arrived the sandstorm disappeared revealing blue skies.
"I glad to be out of there" said Zelda trying to get all the sand off of her and out of her clothes
Link took off the Lens of Truth and they started looking for the entrance to the Spirit Temple.
