Hello folks, this is DynoStretch with another absurd piece of fanfiction.
This story will be kind of a new experience for me to write, and it's definitely a bit more challenging to make then my previous works because of the subject material.
As a warning, while this story is rated T for Teen, it does contain some adult themes, but nothing too raunchy, vulgar or violent, and there will also be some harem aspects to it if you're not into that sort of thing.
That said, hope you all enjoy it!
The Legend of Zelda: Heart of The Desert
In the furthest reaches of the great wasteland known as Gerudo Desert, there stood a towering building known as the Spirit Temple, where the Goddess of Sand is honored and worshiped by the almost all-female tribe known as the Gerudo.
At that time, standing before the entrance to the Spirit Temple was a ten year old boy with blonde hair, clad in a green tunic and cap, he was staring up the giant building with a look of determination in his blue eyes.
This was Link, who was once a child of Kokiri Forest, but had been chosen by the goddesses of Hyrule to become the legendary Hero of Time. His goal being to defeat the evil Gerudo King Ganondorf Dragmire and bring peace to the land. This task ended up requiring him to travel into the future to confront the cruel king as an adult and defeat him. After his work was done, he was sent back to the past so that he may live out his childhood.
But Link knew his work wasn't done, Ganondorf was still free in his original time period, still pretended to swear loyalty to the king of Hyrule, and it would only had been a matter of time before he enacted his plan to take control of the Sacred Realm, where he would gain immeasurable power. Link knew this well, he got to see it firsthand in the dark future he had gone to.
To defeat Ganondorf in this time, Link sought the help of the Princess Zelda of whom he shared a... rather complicated history with, in both present and future and told her what would happen. Now with the knowledge of what Ganondorf planned to do, Zelda was able to expose Ganondorf's evil plan to her father, and the Gerudo King had just recently been arrested.
With that mission accomplished, Link had his next goal in mind. He had traveled out to the Spirit Temple with the intention of helping a friend there...
Within the deepest depths of the Spirit Temple, the twin Gerudo witches known as Koume and Kotake were at work with a dark scheme. They both raised their hands, forming a dark vortex in front of them, and rising out from it was a young beautiful Gerudo woman known as Nabooru. She was wrapped in a strange energy that took the form of purple and black chains, seeming to symbolize how the energy was holding her in place.
Nabooru, despite being a Gerudo, opposed the evil power of Ganondorf, and had made the journey to the Spirit Temple to find a means of defeating him. Most of the temple was sealed off from intruders, but she found a helpful companion in the form of Link, who had come there to figure out a way in himself. After Nabooru questioned the weirdness of Link's name, the two formed a deal for Link to enter the temple and help her find the power she needed, in exchange for a promise she made to him.
While Link was successful in obtaining the Silver Gauntlets she had been seeking, shortly after that Nabooru had been found out by Koume and Kotake and captured by them.
Now as she found herself restrained by the witch sisters' chains, she had a look of both shock and horror, and drenched in a cold sweat.
"That..." Nabooru muttered, "That can't be... I can't let that happen! Not after everything they've done to us!"
"What do you suppose she's talking about?" came a voice.
Nabooru snapped out of her panic and looked up to see the two witches that had captured her floating there.
"I don't know, but when this is over, she won't need to speak ever again!" cackled the other witch to her sister, "The despair she's overwhelmed by will just make this all the easier!"
"You rotten witches!" shouted Nabooru fueled by anger, quickly forgetting about her reason to be afraid, "Once I get out of this I'll run you both through!"
"Ohohohoho," laughed Kotuke, "She's a tough one she is, even now she tries to break free!"
"Indeed," agreed Koume, "But it won't take long to instead break her spirit! Soon she'll be our loyal servant knight, and with her help we'll have Lord Ganondorf free from his imprisonment in no time!"
Nabooru's anger turned to surprise at their words, then a few seconds later it became a mild bit of amusement, "So that bastard finally got himself caught then?" she smirked, "Well I'd sooner die then serve the two of you, much less free that power hungry monster!"
"Oh you'll cave in soon enough." Koume said, the two witches started chanting spells to build more dark energy around Nabooru's body.
"Damnit..." Nabooru muttered, "How am I going to get out of this one?" she continued to struggle with the chains, but to no avail, "Ugh, I was too careless to let myself be trapped by them..."
Her thoughts wandered back to Link, he young kid she had entrusted to retrieve the Silver Gauntlets, and wondered if he was doing okay. She had to admit she had an admiration for him after finding out he traveled all the way to the Spirit Temple, and she felt somewhat guilty making him go into the temple alone to find what she needed, but when she saw him obtain the treasure just before she was captured, she had truly developed a firm respect for him, he had not just determination and courage, but heart as well, something she had never seen in any man.
"Looks like I won't be able to fulfill that promise to him after all..."
But then suddenly, from the dark corners of the ritual chamber, a small object flew straight out of nowhere and smacked Kotuke in her wide eye.
"Yeeeooowch!" screamed the witch, instinctively putting a hand over her injured eye, "What the heck was that?!"
"What was what sister?" asked Koume with a snicker, "Your arthritis catching up to you?"
"No, you old hag!" shouted Kotuke, "Something just hit me in the eye and nearly poked it out!"
"Who you calling an old hag?! I'm a prim and proper 400 year old!"
"You're 500 you liar!"
"Then doesn't that make you just as much an old hag then?!"
As the two witches squabbled against each other over anything that came out of each others mouths, Nabooru just watched with a drop of sweat going down the back of her head.
"How did I get captured by these two morons?"
"Psst!"
Nabooru's moment of self-reflection was interrupted by a small sound, she turned in the direction of where it came from to see a familiar and friendly face, her partner Link standing behind her.
"Hi Nabooru!" Link said, the child sporting a big grin.
"K-Kid?!" exclaimed Nabooru in shock, "What are you doing here?!"
"Trying to get you out of here," Link said, "I'll see what I can do while those buzzards are pecking at each other!"
"Don't worry about me!" Nabooru warned, "They may be old buzzards, but their power is much too strong! You won't stand a chance against them without-"
"This?" Link finished her sentence as he turned around, showing her something he had strapped to his back.
"W-What?!" exclaimed Nabooru, "How the hell did you find that?"
"Let's just say I've learned from experience!" Link said cryptically, "Now let's see what I can do about your chains."
"Hm, alright." Nabooru said, genuinely impressed at Link's skills and knowledge.
Link contemplated his options as he looked over the purple energy chains constricting Nabooru. He tried cutting through the chains with his Kokiri knife, but the blade just passed through them, letting him know they were purely energy based.
"Hmm... what could be used to counter this kind of dark energy..." Link pondered, then a thought occurred to him, "Darkness can be countered... by light!" He then reached into his pocket and puled out a small Deku Nut in his hand, "Nabooru, keep your eyes closed!"
Nabooru did as she was told and Link threw the Deku Nut down on the ground in front of her. The nut, upon hitting the ground, exploded with a bright flash, the light that came from the flash caused the dark chains surrounding Nabooru to turn a bluish color. Nabooru then took that opportunity to use her strength to break out of the chains.
"Nice one, kid!" Nabooru said.
Unfortunately, it was that very time that Koume turned her wide eye over to Link and Nabooru, seeing their captive was free and had an ally.
"Ah, sister!" exclaimed Koume, "Now's not the time for arguing! The traitorous wench has escaped!"
"Eheeheehee!" cackled Kotake, "Looks like she had a little help doing that, emphasis on little!" she said, referring to Link's short stature.
"Yeah, like you're one to talk you hunched-over old farts!" Link said annoyed, causing the two witches to fault over, while Nabooru laughed at Link's brazenness.
"That's it!" shouted Koume, she hopped onto her broom as her body erupted in magic flames, "Time for me to roast your bodies to cinders!"
"And then I'll freeze their immortal souls!" added Kotake, her own body enveloped in ice.
Link pulled out his slingshot while Nabooru unsheathed her twin scimitar swords, the latter thankful that the two witches didn't have the foresight to take her weapons away, and the two sides charged into battle.
Koume fired off a blast of flames, but Nabooru flipped into the air and swung out her swords at her, but the witch used her broom to quickly dodge to the side.
Link meanwhile ran away from the stream of ice that Kotake released at him, before rolling forward and shooting her in the eye.
"Graaah! So it was you, little brat!" screeched Kotake, "I'll shatter you to pieces!"
Link quickly ran over to Nabooru, who had just taken a step back to avoid a searing flame attack from Koume. The two witches flew upwards out of range of the child and Gerudo warrior's range, while Kotake prepared a more powerful ice attack. Link and Nabooru looked to each other and nodded in unison.
"Now die you pests!" Kotake shouted, shooting the ice spell straight down at the two...
Only for her sister Koume to then suddenly get hit by the attack.
"Yeeooow!" screamed Koume before turning to her sister in anger, "What was that?! You know that your magic is my only weakness, can't you control it properly?!"
"But I cast it right at those two!" retorted Kotake, "Maybe you need to lose some weight so you're not as big a target!"
"Lose weight?! I'm fit as a fiddle! If anyone's raiding the ice box it's you!"
"Ahem." a clearing of the throat came from Nabooru, the two witches looked down to see she was holding a shield on her left arm, the heavily polished, reflective material being shown off.
"T-The Mirror Shield?!" exclaimed Kotake, "Where did that come from?!"
"Found it," Link said simply, folding his arms behind his head nonchalantly.
"That's it, I'll fry you!" said Koume, shooting fire down on Nabooru.
"Wait, sister, don'-!"
It was too late, as Kotake was blasted by the very fire Koume cast being reflected off the shield and right back in her sister's face.
"Graaaah! It burns! You foolish overweight hag!" Kotake shouted to Koume, "We're going to finish each other off at this rate!"
"This is getting kind of stupid." Nabooru said as she and Link watched the two witches argue.
"Maybe we can just sneak out while they're yelling?" Link asked.
"Wait, quit yapping, we got priorities here!" shouted Kotake to her sister.
"Fine, we'll end these two with our ultimate power!" Koume said.
The two of them took to the high air and started flying in circles. Link and Nabooru watched as dark magic spiraled around the two witches, until in a burst of energy, where Koume and Kotake once were, there was now an absurdly tall woman with ponytails made of both fire and ice, and was holding twin wands. The witch sister were now in their fusion form known as Twinrova.
"Oookay, almost forgot they could do that." Nabooru said.
"I think we need a new plan." Link said nervously.
"Now to destroy you both!" Twinrova cackled with glee, firing a stream of flame at them. Nabooru held up the Mirror Shield like before, only instead of reflecting off the shield, the flame was instead absorbed into it.
"What the heck...?" Nabooru looked down at the shield, which was now glowing with red fire energy.
"The Mirror Shield is reacting differently to their fusion spell..." Link observed, "Try collecting more of her magic, and it might be enough to take down!"
"Right!"
Link then turned to firing slingshot seeds at Twinrova to distract her, while Nabooru aimed her shield carefully while dodging the witches other attacks. Soon Twinrova shot off another fire magic attack which Nabooru collected into the shield.
"Hmm, quite resourceful." said Twinrova grinning, "How about we mix it up?!"
Twinrova then fired off an ice spell at Nabooru, but when she tried to absorb that attack with the shield, the magic energy reacted violently, causing a backfire explosion that sent Nabooru and Link flying back.
"Link, are you okay?!" Nabooru asked, only to see Link had a few burns on his small body.
"Ugh, not used to this kind of power at this age..." Link groaned. Nabooru was confused by the way he phrased that, but went back on the defensive against Twinrova, using the shield to absorb another ice magic attack.
"Ohhohohoho!" laughed Twinrova, "So predictable, now I'll roast you both!"
"Damnit, dodging it is too hard, and we can't absorb it without a backfire." Nabooru said.
"Wait... backfire..." Link pondered, "Maybe that's just what we need!"
"Huh? What are you-" Nabooru then realized what Link meant, "Oh, I see what you're getting at!"
"Now die the two of you!" shouted Twinrova, charging up another fire attack.
This time however, Nabooru simply smirked and held up Mirror Shield, which was glowing with ice energy, and threw it like a frisbee straight at Twinrova, just as she was about to release the fire attack.
"Uh oh." Twinrova muttered as her fire attack impacted right into the ice energy engulfed shield, causing a backfire explosion that sent Twinrova flying into the air and down towards the ground, screaming out a "Kyyyaaa!"
"Now it's our turn!" Nabooru rushed forward, brandishing her twin scimitars and slashing through Twinrova with them.
Twinrova's eyes turned a blank white as she gagged out, impacting onto the ground in a daze.
"Nice work!" Link shouted to Nabooru.
Nabooru grinned to the kid, and turned to look down to the fallen witch, ready to deliver a finishing blow, but Twinrova had taken that moment to change back to her twin witch selves, the two of them woozy and in pain from the fight.
"Ugh, how could this have happened...?" groaned Kotake.
"This was clearly all your fault!" snapped Kotake, you're the one who use that last attack!"
"What about you, old hag?! You're the one that powered the shield up!"
The two witches were already back to their near-endless squabbling.
"Hey, are you two done?" Nabooru held her swords in a battle pose again, "Or do we need to crush you again?"
"Y-You know what dear sister? N-Never mind who's fault it was," said Koume to her sister nervously, "I think it's time we beat a hasty retreat!"
The two witches conjured their brooms and flew off on them, Link and Nabooru could only watch as the two flew out the room and to who-knows-where.
"Whew, we actually won." Link took a deep breath, only to be scooped up and hugged tightly by Nabooru.
"Kid, that was amazing!" she said happily, "I knew there was something great about you, back when we met!"
"Oof, as I recall you were saying how weird my name was!" Link said with a lot of embarrassment from being hugged.
Soon Link and Nabooru arrived at the entrance to the Spirit Temple, Nabooru stepping out into the outside and stretching, taking in the warmth of the sun.
"Aaahhh..." Nabooru said with contentment, "It's been too long since I've felt the desert heat!."
"It's too much heat." Link complained, "I don't know how you and your people deal with it."
"You just have to adapt to it is all." she said smirking. "Come on, let's go freshen up."
Link and Nabooru soon arrived at an oasis not far from the Spirit Temple, Nabooru was taking time to soak her head in the water and threw her hair back, while Link just collected a handful of water and splashed it on his face.
"I just have say," Nabooru started, "I knew there was something special about you when we first met, but you really pulled through for me today. I honestly can't thank you enough for what you did..." she paused for a moment, then asked, "But why did you come back for me?"
"It's no problem, I couldn't just leave you behind in there," Link said grinning, "We're friends after all, right?"
"Friends, huh?" Nabooru smirked, "I suppose we are then."
"Plus I suppose I wanted to see what that promise was going to be." Link admitted.
"Ah yes, that promise..." Nabooru said. She contemplated that and looked over at Link, who was taking a sip of the oasis water. A small grin formed on her face as a thought went through her mind.
'Maybe... in enough time, he could someday be...'
"Is something on my face Nabooru?" Link asked curiously.
"Uh, no, no." Nabooru said catching herself. She gave it a little more thought for a few minutes, then finally said, "So about that promise..."
"Yeah?"
"How about... forget that old promise." she said, baffling Link, before she said, "Instead, I have something even greater in mind for you." she said, "Something that will make you truly happy."
"S-Sounds nice." Link said, "What is it?"
"Can't tell you yet." Nabooru shrugged.
"Oh come on, really?!" :Link asked in annoyance, "So when can I find out?"
"I'll tell you what." Nabooru said, standing up and wiping sand off her pants. "How about you return to Gerudo Valley in say... seven years. When you do I'll bestow on you my new promise."
"Seven years?" Link asked, "Why so long?"
"You'll find out when that time comes." Nabooru said, "You got a lot of growing up to do first, and I got some preparations to make."
"Hm, okay..." Link agreed, "Then I'll come back to see you seven years from now!"
"Good, you won't be disappointed." Nabooru nodded, she paused on that note and then said, "Actually in the meantime..."
"Yeah?"
"I take back what I said about the original promise, you'll get it after all."
With that, Nabooru knelled down and gave Link a small kiss on the cheek, causing the young warrior's face to turn bright red.
"W-What was that about?!" exclaimed Link, "T-That was the original promise?"
"Yep, consider it a reminder of our new promise." she chuckled.
"A-Alright then..." Link said, rubbing his cheek a little, taking a look to see if any of Nabooru's lipstick was still on his face.
Sometime after that, Link and Nabooru bid each other goodbye for the time being and went their separate ways. As Nabooru watched Link journey off to his next destination, she couldn't help but smile lightly.
"Stay safe ki-... Link." she said softly, "You got big things ahead of you soon..."
Well I hope you enjoyed the first chapter, I'll have the next one coming soon.
