Dora remained close to Ganondorf to avoid being flattened by the debris of exploding homes and personal property. She found pleasure in the rising and falling of his power when he focused his energy, and then released it to destroy another building, or sweep away a group of annoying civilians like insects. A fair mixture of Hylians, Goron, and Zora lived peacefully. Some of them ran for their lives, or hoped to warn their family before it was too late. Others ran thoughtlessly at the Demon King to try and stop him, only to be cut down by Dora's blade.
When houses were crowded tightly together, Ganondorf stood near the center of them and concentrated his power. He released it in such a mighty wave that the buildings blew apart, and rocks went flying into the sky. Those unfortunate enough to be where the pieces of rubble landed were crushed.
Dora began to deviate from the main path and hoped to keep her husband oblivious, but Ganondorf was quite aware of her detour. "What are you planning?" he asked, annoyed.
"Link's house is just down this way. Someone might be home," she mused casually, while climbing over another pile of rubble he left lying in the street. She turned and watched him just float over the mess. Nothing hindered him.
Ganondorf nodded to agree with Dora's thought, and she rushed on ahead to lead the way. Despite the increase in speed, corpses and demolished homes were still left behind to mark their traveled path. She arrived ahead of him. Most of the people she passed along the way paid no mind to her, as they were too concerned with their own wellbeing. Since they posed no threat, she wisely chose not to waste her energy in recklessly ending their lives.
There was a house to the left and right of the one marked with the Hylian Crest. The building on the right was abandoned, but the other housed a family of Gorons. They hurriedly worked to escape and save their lives. Dora wondered idly if any Gorons lived in the mountains, or did any Zora still thrive in the river? Maybe that could be their next stop after claiming the Triforce. While she pondered visiting the domain of the Zoras, she turned around to observe the other buildings, and her eyes became transfixed on a poster in a shop window.
Hylians zoomed by, the owners of the shop fled for home, but Dora was in awe. The sign boasted a clearance sale on a peculiar bow. Instead of being held vertical, the bow rested horizontal with an arrow pulled back against a string. The person in the still image demonstrating the bow held their finger over a trigger, and it was an easy guess as to what happened when the trigger was pulled. Dora knew she needed this weapon, mostly because she was without her trusted bow, and it was improper for a Gerudo to be without one. There was still time, so she rushed inside.
Dora emerged from the store just as Ganondorf arrived. The crossbow hung over her shoulder by a leather strap long enough that she could aim without removing it from her shoulder. A quiver packed full of metal arrows was strapped across her torso. She stepped down from the store's front door and pointed across the road at the house with the crest. "That one."
Ganondorf produced a different style of orb for Link's house. It was only as large as the palm of his hand, but the red lightning that arched from it made it appear twice that size. He pulled his arm back and thrust it forward with a mighty yell, exerting more energy that propelled a red beam toward the front door.
Dora glimpsed the door open, and immediately shut again. Someone was home, some relative, but they thought hiding on the inside was going to protect them from harm or at least prevent their death. The doors splintered and the windows shattered. When the lightning ball at the end of the beam exploded. The second floor collapsed to the ground, followed by the roof. A shrill shriek filled the air, and was cut off when the house crumbled down.
Dora smiled, delighting in the misery Link would suffer when he found his family dead. Ganondorf paused for a moment to relish in the same idea, but their time of reflection was cut short by a scream.
"Oh my heavens. What have you done?!" a Goron woman shrieked.
"Oh no," an old man gasped. "No. It can't be."
Ganondorf turned to walk away, having no interest in their emotional outburst for their neighbors. Dora slowly followed, but kept her eyes on the Goron men's attempt to move the rubble and save anyone still inside that was alive. She was also curious to know what the elder Goron had to say.
"I never imagined his return would happen during my lifetime," he said, his voice shaking. "All of this, this insanity, it all makes sense now." He pressed his hands together and closed his eyes to pray. "Good luck, Link."
Dora glared, and then turned her back on them before they learned there were no survivors among the debris. When she jogged up beside Ganondorf she felt the air leave her lungs. Power poured from him in waves as he recharged. It was so strong and overwhelming she took a second to adjust. "Look at my new weapon," she bragged, and held out her crossbow for him to see.
He glanced down at it, and said with a scoff, "You mean your new toy?"
Dora's ears perked at the sound of footsteps running closer. "Let me show you what this toy can do," she said deviously, and spun around.
She aimed her loaded crossbow at the corner where their pursuers would appear. As the Goron in the lead rounded the corner she pulled the trigger. Ganondorf twisted to see if she hit her target, and, of course, she did with perfect accuracy. He was impressed by the speed and power behind the bolt. The force of the projectile impacting with the Goron's chest threw him off his feet and he landed on his back.
More Gorons appeared behind their comrade, so Dora loaded another bolt. "Kill them," Ganondorf ordered, then crossed his arms to admire her work.
"Gladly," she hissed, and fired the second bolt with deadly aim. They rushed around the corner as a group, so Dora was able to thwart two more enemies before they were too close to safely reload. She was forced to release her crossbow and brandish her sword. She felt as if she were being evaluated with the way Ganondorf watched her, but it was not much of a fair fight. There were three more Gorons total, and without weapons the first two were easily sliced across the torso, and then left on the ground to die. The third grew cowardice at seeing his friend's fall, and ran in fear of the warrior. "You aren't getting away that easily!" She bounded after him and lunged into the air when she was close. On her descent, she thrust her sword between his shoulder and out his chest. Dora landed with both feet on top of the corpse, as if he were merely a pedestal for her blade. She sheathed her sword and joined her husband with her eyes on him, clearly awaiting his approval.
"I have missed your child like excitement in taking lives," Ganondorf praised, and continued toward Hyrule castle. Dora grinned foolishly at his words, but nothing made her happier than his compliments.
