The Legend of Zelda: Love and Tragedy by: Mojo88

This story starts the Day after Ganondorf had been sealed in the void of the Dark Realm. Hyrule Rejoiced as the Land Returned to its original state. The celebrations were cut short by an unexpected Tragedy that would change Hyrule Forever.

Chapter 1: The Royal Ball

"Ah There you are Link." said Navi. Link had been sitting by The entrance to Zora's River. He had been quiet since the end of Ganondorf's reign of terror. "Zelda wishes to see you. She says it's urgent." continued the annoying Fairy. Link was still quiet. "What is the matter with you? You've not been the same since yesterday." said Nave in her high pitched voice. "Ganondorf was... The first man I ever Fought." answered Link with a Blank voice. "Don't worry about that." said Navi. "You did what you had to do. You are the most loved person in Hyrule."she continued. Link got to his feet and Walked to Epona. "I must go to the Princess." said Link in the same tone. He mounted his trusty steed and walked her towards the Castle. Link was acting weird. His eyes seemed empty. "Hey, Hey! How ya doin Link?" shouted a Castle Town resident. "Good day, Link." said a guard. "Hi Link!" shouted a familiar voice. Link looked up only to see Malon. He stopped Epona and stared at Malon. What's the Matter?" asked Malon in a concerned voice. "Nothing. I'm fine." answered Link. "Oh. Ok! see you Later!" shouted Malon as she ran into her father's new Milk shop. Link had become a Hero. He continued onward to the castle and saw Talon there. "Hello Link! How's yer day bin?" said Talon in his accent. "Good." answered Link. "Just Deliverin Milk to the castle." said Talon. Link rode past the guards and stopped Epona in front of the door. "The princess awaits." said Impa when she noticed Link. Link walked into the castle and up to Zelda's quarters. "Hi Link!!" shouted Zelda when she saw him. Link didn't answer. "What's wrong?" asked Zelda. "Ganondorf... We had a... connection. I don't know how... but I felt like I knew him from some where." answered Link. Zelda Looked at Link very oddly. "Link... Don't you feel regret. What you did for Hyrule was the bravest thing I've ever seen. You challenged a powerful Sorcerer. He was the King of Gerudo. You should be proud." said Zelda. "I know. It's just that I feel like I knew him long ago." said Link. "Well, Why did you want to see me?" asked Link. "I need someone to come to the Royal Ball with Me. I know you didn't know about it so I decided top ask." said Zelda. "Okay. I'd be delighted to come." said Link as his face bright- Brightened."Thanks." Zelda said with a smile. "Come pick me up tonight at 6:00. The ball is being held in Termina this year." she continued. "Okay. I'll go home and get ready." said Link. Link left the castle and went home. He was excited to know that he had a date with the Princess. He put on his best Tunic. It was a golden tunic with silver diamonds on it. He put the best saddle he had on Epona it was also golden with Silver diamonds. Link arrived at the castle a 4:00. "You look beautiful." complemented Link. "Thank you. You look handsome yourself." said Zelda in return.

Link and Zelda rode the same horse (Epona) to Termina. "What are the Royal Balls Link?" asked Link. "They're usually fun. Except Last year when Talon fell asleep. We had to go to Romani Ranch and borrow a cuckoo from Gorg." said Zelda with a chuckle as she remembered. "Talon is a card." said Link. Zelda sat in front of Link. Link closed his eyes and smelled her hair. The beautiful Princess' Aroma engulfed his nostrils and Took control of his senses. "Link. Thank you for coming with me. If I couldn't find someone to go with, Dad would've made me go with one of the Jesters." said Zelda, snapping Link out of his trance. "Don't worry about it. It's an honor to be your escort." said Link. The two rode into Termina and into Clock Town where the Ball was going to be held. Link dismounted Epona and Helped Zelda down. "Ah, Welcome Link! Who's the lovely lady?" asked Kafei as they arrived. "Kafei!" shouted Anju. "Kafei, Anju, This is the Princess of Hyrule, Zelda. "Delighted to make your acquaintance, Your Majesty." said Kafei as he bowed. "I guess wr'll see you inside." said Anju as they walked in. "Nice people." said Zelda when they left. "Yeah, alot of the people here are as nice as the ones in Hyrule." said Link as they walked in. "Would you like to dance?" asked Link. "Yes. I'd be delighted."answered Zelda. The two danced and danced. Link felt like he was in a dream. Link's feelings had changed as the day went on. Zelda was the reason that Link was so happy.

Chapter 2: Celebrations Across Hyrule

The Royal Ball ended and Link brought Zelda Home. "Thank you for a wonderful night." said Zelda. "I loved it. The ball was the best thing that happened to me in a long time. Since I met you of course." said Link. Zelda began to blush. "Goodnight. Come over sometime." said Zelda. Link left the castle and rode Home in the darkness of night. The Kokiri Tribe was already fast asleep. Although everyone knew Link was really a Hylian, They accepted him as a Kokiri, even Mido. Link tied Epona to the Ladder at the bottom of his hut. He climbed the ladder, Got dressed in his usual green tunic, and went to sleep.

The Next morning, Link woke to the sound of an Ocarina. He slowly walked to the door and opened the curtain. "Morning Link!" shouted Saria. "Do you HAVE to play that there?" he asked in a tired voice. "Yes. I was told to wake you." she said. "Yeah? By who? Ganondorf?" asked Link sarcastically. "No... Zelda." answered Saria. Hearing this, Link jumped off of the porch and ran over to Epona. "She's at Lake Hylia!!" shouted Saria as Link and Epona bolted out of Kokiri Forest. The sun shot right at Links eyes when he entered Hyrule Field. He used his arm to block out the painful rays. Zelda sat on the shore of the Lake and moved her Fingers slowly across the water as Link arrived. "What is it?" asked Link in a worried voice. "I just wanted to be with you. Do you know what's going on in Hyrule?" she asked when Link dismounted. "Everyone is celebrating. A Party is being held at Lon Lon Ranch Tonight. Would you Like to go with me?" she asked. "I must be dreaming. Two nights in a row that I get to spend with you." said Link. "So, is that a yes?" asked Zelda as she blushed. Link nodded and sat down by Zelda. "Thank you." she said. Link put his arm around Zelda and Zelda rested her head on Link's shoulder. They watched the sun raise together. The people (and creatures) of Hyrule all went to Lon Lon Ranch that night. The Gorons came. Even Biggoron and Medigoron made their way to the ranch! The Zoras came along with King Zora. The Gerudos even came! A party was in order now that Ganondorf was gone. Everyone danced to the beautiful music of the Kokiri children's ocarinas. Zelda and Link held hands by the small stable in the fence. They looked on as the people of Hyrule Danced, Sang, and laughed. This gathering was thereafter known as the 'Post- Ganondorf Death Party'. This became an annual holiday celebrated across Hyrule.

Chapter 3: Links Big Question

After the second form of celebration, Link turned to Zelda and held both of her hands. "Zelda, I have been thinking of this question for so long. We've known each other for about a year. I really need to ask you this. Princess Zelda of Hyrule, Will you Marry Me?" asked Link. "Yes." she answered in tears. They hugged for about a minuet. Link escorted Zelda back to the castle to tell the King the good news. "Daddy. Link asked me to marry him!" shouted Zelda. "Oh sweetie, That's fabulous!" shouted the King as he hugged his daughter. Link stood behind them and his cheeks slowly turned red. "Link... I'm honored to have you as a son. The future of Hyrule is brighter than it was 5 minutes. I give you my daughters hand in marriage." said the King. Link smiled. "I'll send some people to your hut and have them help you move your belongings. When's the wedding?" asked the King. "As soon as possible. This is the man I want to be with the rest of my life. The sooner our life together begins,The better." said Zelda. "Very well. The wedding will take place two days from now." declared the King. Zelda and Link's new life was going to start shortly. The Next day, Members of the King's entertainers came to move Link's belongings. "Let me Help you with that." said Link to a worker who was moving an oak chest. "No, your majesty. Link, you're a prince now. Everyone here is at your service." said the worker. "Even though I am going to be the prince, I want all of you to remain my friends. Not my servants." declared Link. He bent down and helped the servant pick up the wooden chest. "Th-Thank you." stuttered the servant. A wagon moved all of the stuff (Which wasn't much) across Hyrule field to the castle. When the King saw Link helping the servants unload the items from the back of the wagon, he rushed out to stop him. "Link, they're your servants. They can handle this." said the King. "No thanks. I don't want servants. I want friends." said Link as he unloaded a crate of Epona's equipment. "Very well. What ever you wish." said The King as he walked back to the castle. "What's going on?" asked Zelda when she saw her father's face. "That boy... Will make a wonderful King." answered the King with a smile. "I know father. That's why I wish to marry him. Our love is unbreakable." said Zelda as the Queen gave her her wedding gown. It was a pearly white with diamonds down the sides and front. Link was going to use the tunic he wore to the Royal Ball as his tuxedo. Everyone in Hyrule hustled to get ready for the wedding. They where all happy to know that their future King was the Hero of Time.

The day finally came. Link and Zelda where going to become a married couple. The wedding was going to be held in The Temple of Time. Link and The King stood at the end of the aisle and waited as Zelda made her way to them. Instead of the traditional wedding song, Zelda walked out to her Lullaby. She smiled to Link as Her dad took her hand. "I give you to a man who I think will change Hyrule. I am proud to become his father." said the King as he gave Link Zelda's Hand. "Do you, Zelda, promise to love, cherish, and care for Link as Long as you both shall live?" asked Rauru. "I do." answered Zelda.

"Do you, Link, promise to love, cherish, and care for Zelda in sickness and In health?" asked Rauru. "I do." answered Link. By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man, and wife. Link, you may kiss the bride." finished Rauru. Link turned to Zelda and raised her veil. The couple kissed there on the pedestal of time. Link carried Zelda out of the Temple and put her in a stage coach pulled by Epona and Zelda's horse. Their honeymoon was going to be held on a Cruise Leaving out of Termina and Ending back on the Shore of Hyrule four days later. Link's dream had finally came true. Zelda was finally his Bride.

Chapter 4: Tragedy

The newlyweds boarded the S.S Terminian at 6:00 that night. They where first class passengers. "I love you." said Link to Zelda when the had all of their belongings packed. "I love you too, Link." said Zelda with a smile. "Come on. Let's go to the Cafe and get something to eat. I'm co hungry I could eat Epona!" said Link with a chuckle. Zelda and Link walked down the hallways of the of the ship with their arms around each other. When they got to the Cafe, Link ordered the Deku Nut Pizza and Zelda ordered the Zora Fish Fillet. The two ate seconds, then thirds and finally where too full to move. They stumbled their way back to their cabin and decided to go to sleep.

"D-Don't I know you?" asked a man to Link the Next day. "Maybe. What's your name?" asked Link. "Viscen. I was the guard at Termina who didn't want the carnival to go on." said The man. "Oh yeah!" I remember you." said Link. "Who's the lady?" asked Viscen. "This is Princess Zelda, my wife." answered Link. "Congratulations." said Viscen as he walked to another guard. Link and Zelda walked to the bow of the ship and Look on as the sun rose. Suddenly, an explosion Rocked the ship and almost made Zelda fall overboard. Luckily, Link caught her. "What was that? Asked Zelda with a horrified look on her face. "I don't know." said Link. Just then, the captain came out of the cabin and announced: "We have sailed in shallow waters. Our boat is taking in water very fast." he said. "Royalty will be evacuated first. Please report to the lifeboats on the starboard side." said The Captain. Link and Zelda walked to the Lifeboats. Link lifted Zelda and put her in. "Take her Down!"shouted Link. "I must help the others I love you." said Link as Zelda was lowered into the ocean "I Love you!" she shouted back. Link turned and Began to help the others into the Lifeboats. Water began to flow onto the deck and there where no more Lifeboats left. Link was the last passenger onboard the ship. When it went down, Link went down with it. Zelda looked around the water, seeing if she could see him come up. He didn't. The marriage that just started, was already at an end.

*Two Months Later*

"Zelda, you must remarry. If you don't, we won't have a kingdom." said the King. "I won't. The only man I've ever loved is the only one I ever will." she said. "I can't force you." said the king as he walked out of Zelda's room. Zelda had been very depressed since Link died. She wasn't the same, as if when Link died, part of her died with him. She didn't smile, she didn't eat, she didn't even sing. It was as if the only reason she kept on living was hope that Link wasn't dead. Everyone in Hyrule knew he was. But, the Princess was in denial. Zelda was on her death bed soon. She hadn't eaten since the night before the crash. On the day she was supposed to die, something remarkable happened. "Zelda. Wake up." said the King. Someone is here to see you." he continued. Ganondorf walked in the door. "Please... Leave us." he said to the King. "What do you want?" asked Zelda. "You. Your father gave me your hand in marriage." said the evil man. "No. I love Link. I won't marry you." said Zelda. "Link's dead. When are you going to realize that? If you won't marry me, I'm at least going to get something from you." Ganondorf ripped Zelda's cloths of. "NO STOP IT!!" shouted Zelda. Just then, the door bursted open and the Master Sword went through Ganondorf's stomached. "Link!" shouted Zelda. Link stood behind Ganondorf and slowly pulled his Master Sword out. "I thought you where dead!" shouted Zelda. "No. I swam to our cabin and put on the Zora's Tunic. It took me so long to get here because I didn't have Epona and I had to walk. I'm glad to see you've been eating..." said Link as he noticed Zelda's thin body. Link was alive. The two lovers had a second Honey moon on Lake Hylia. They built a cabin on the Island in the middle. Link and Zelda visited the Cabin every anniversary and They hoped to live Happily ever after, as King and Queen of Hyrule.

Chapter 5:Married Link

Link was getting used to the married Life. Zelda started eating again now that Link was back. "The day is beautiful. Come on, Let's go to the Lake and Have a picnic." said Zelda. "Okay." answered Link. They prepared the Horses and some food. They walked the horses to the Lake. "I'm so glad you're okay." said Zelda. "Me too. I missed you so much." answered Link. They finally reached the Lake and sat down by their cabin on the Island. "I'm glad we're here. I need some peace. This new responsibility of ruling a land is stressful." said Link

as he looked across the Lake. a zora dove out of the water and back in. "Wow. They're so graceful." said Zelda in amazement. The sun rose steadily and was directly overhead now. "Noon. Let's go inside and look at our wedding sketches." said Zelda. Link got up and helped Zelda up. Link was a changed man now that he was married. His look on life had changed. That look changed even more when he became King. He had matured alot since the Deku Tree first told him about Ganondorf and the quest he must endure to save Hyrule. Link was proud of the actions he took in his past. The Cabin door opened and Link and Zelda went in. Zelda went to the closet and pulled out a crate full of pictures. "Oh... I remember this one." said Zelda as she
thought. The picture showed Zelda and her father side by side. Zelda began to cry. Link went to Zelda's side and put his arm around her. "Don't cry. Your parents would be very proud of you." said Link comfortingly. The King and Queen where assassinated by a man wearing a mask. The killer got away before anyone knew what happened. Zelda stopped crying and hugged Link. Her face was wet with tears. Link wiped them off with the sleeve of his Tunic."Thank you." said Zelda. Link brought Zelda outside and they prepared the
food. Link ate a Deku Burger with a side dish of Deku Nuts. Zelda brought Her traditional favorite, The Zora fish fillet. They ate and laughed at the crows flying overhead. They kept running into each other. The night came sooner than expected. Zelda and Link rode their Horses home and went to bed. Link's life as a single man was over and He was happy.

Chapter 6: The New Prince

The next morning, Zelda woke up with cramps. She thought it was just from sleeping wrong but she was wrong. "Come on. Let's go see the chemist. Zelda and Link went to the Lakeside Laboratory. "My wife is feeling sick. Can you take a look at her?" asked Link. "Sure. Bring Her in." said The old man. He took a blood sample from Zelda and told them to come back the next day. "I wonder if I'm okay." said
Zelda. "I'm sure you are." answered Link. They went home and anticipated the results. The next day, The returned to the Laboratory. "Well you two, I have some good news. Zelda, You are carrying a baby. It's a boy." said The Chemist. Zelda turned to Link and Hugged him tight. "We're going to be parents." she said. "Link looked at the
chemist and smiled. They returned to the castle and told everyone the good news. The Land of Hyrule celebrated once more. "How about Link?" asked Zelda. They where thinking of a name for the new baby. "No. what about Darunia?" asked Link. "Darunia... Darunia... Okay." said Zelda. Than it's settled. The baby's name is Darunia. Link called the baby Darunia. This was coincedential because Darunia, The leader of the Gorons called his boy Link.

**Nine Months Later**

The day had finally came. Zelda went into labor and Link had to Bring her to the chemist's Laboratory be stage coach. "The chemist was going to deliver the baby for Zelda. "Link, I'll have to ask you to leave." said the chemist. Link went out and sat on the fence as he
waited. Hours passed and the chemist finally opened the door. "You can see her now." said the chemist with a smile. "Link." said Zelda with a smile as Link entered. "Do you want to hold him?" asked Zelda. "Yeah." said Link. The baby was so full of life. It smiled when Link held him. Lin laughed and looked at Zelda. The level of maturity
raised another level with a son. Link was so happy. He'd been happy ever since he married Zelda. Now, Darunia was going to change his life forever.

Chapter 7: The Rumor

The years went on and Darunia grew up. He was now 10 years old and very curious. Link and Zelda let Darunia explore Hyrule as long as he had protection. Link gave Darunia his Kokiri Sword. Darunia loved to go to Zora's Domain and watch the Zoras swim. After that, he usually went to Goron city and visited with Link (Darunia the Goron's Son) Link would roll around and Let Link practice his bow an arrow
accuracy. He looked remarkably Like Link. Link and Zelda let him sleep in the Lost woods sometimes for a week to improve his wilderness survival techniques. "Darunia is growing up healthily." said Zelda. "I know. He's only being raised by the bravest man in the history of Hyrule." said Zelda. "And the most beautiful woman in the history of Hyrule." remarked Link. Zelda smiled. "Hey dad!" Do you
want to go fishing?" asked Darunia. "Okay." said Link. "Catch a whole bunch! We'll have Zora fish Fillets tonight!" shoued Zelda as they Left. "Your mom and her Fillets." joked Link as they passed Lon Lon Ranch. Darunia laughed. When they got to the Lake, Darunia saw a huge fish on a sign. "Come to the fishing pond for the chance to
catch this Lunker!" it said. Link and Darunia began the walk to the Fishing shop. "Two please." said Link. "That'll be 40 Rupees. Said the bald man. Link paid the man and Link and Darunia started Fishing. "Dad, can I tell you something?" asked Darunia. "Sure. Anything." said Link as he slowly lured in his Line. "I want to live in the forest. All of the fancy living isn't for me." said Darunia. "Well, I'll have to talk to your mother about it. But, I know how it feels to live alone in the forest and I kind of miss it too." said Link. "So it's okay with you?" asked Darunia. "Yes. Just your mother might not let you. She's a bit over protective." said Link. "Thanks dad." said Darunia. Just then, Darunia's rod dipped deep down under the surface of the Lake. "Wow! Dad! I think I have a bite!!" shouted Darunia. Link jumped over and Helped Darunia pull in the Lunker. "Darunia, I think this'll beat the record!" shouted Link. After a long, hard fight, the huge fish was on the shore. "How did you catch THAT?!" shouted The pond owner. "That fish is 45 pounds!" he continued. "Link, It beats your old record of 30 pounds. Here you go." said the man as he handed Darunia the prize. It was the Master's Bow. "Cool!" shouted Darunia when he received his prize. "Congratulations!" said the bald man. "We'll like to keep the fish." said Link. "Only the Royal family can keep caught fish." said The Man. "I am the King." said Link. "Oh... I'm sorry. YOU Married Zelda?" asked the man in disbelief. "Yes. And this is your prince." Continued Link. Link and Darunia left the pond with the 45 pound fish. "Whoa! That is a big fish." said Zelda when she saw them. "Yep. Darunia caught it." said Link. "I won the Master's Bow too." said Darunia looking at his bow. That night, Link sat down beside Zelda. "Honey, Darunia wants to do something that I know you'll disagree with." said Link. "What's That?" asked Zelda. "He wants to live in the Lost Woods. I know that this sounds crazy for a 10 year old to do but I know he could do it." said Link. "No. I do not want my son in those woods alone." said Zelda. I will live with him for the first week. I'll help him build a hut and find good sources of food." said Link. "Well...he really knows the woods... I guess so. As long as he's here for one night after every month." said Zelda. Link went to Darunia and told him the good news. "Link,!" whispered Impa. "What is it?" asked Link. "I have heard a rumor that I think you should hear."she said. "What?" asked Link. "Someone told me that Ganondorf is back. One of his followers brought him to the Old Hag's Potion shop and She revived him." said Impa. "Thank you. You have been a great help." said Link as he went up to his room to go to bed. The rumor Impa told him was very hard for Link to swallow. Ganondorf had tried to Rape Zelda just a few days earlier and Link wasn't too happy with Him.

Chapter 8: The Evil Returns

The next morning, Link got up and helped Darunia look for a place to build a descent House to live in. After a week, Darunia was completely moved in. "I'll see you in a month." said Darunia to Link and Zelda as he went to his house. Link and Zelda waved at him and then went back inside. Darunia walked slowly through the woods and when he reached his house, he saw something odd. Three skull kids standing around his hut. "Hey! What are you doing?" asked Darunia. "L-Link?" asked one of the Skull Kids. "No. I am not Link. I am his son. How do you know my father?" asked Darunia. "I met him in Termina. When you see him, Tell him I said Hi." said the Skull Kid. "Why don't you and your friends stay for a while?" asked Darunia. "Okay." Darunia and the three Skull Kids became good friends. The Skull Kids helped Darunia survive. The month Ended and Darunia had to spend the night at the castle. Link walked out onto the field to meet him. "Impa told me that Ganondorf is back." said Link when they got within talking distance. "I'm going to see the old Hag tomorrow morning. Please stay incase something happens." said Link. Darunia Nodded. The next day, Link left to go to the Hag's potion shop. "Old woman, Did you revive Ganondorf?" asked Link when he saw her. "Maybe." was all she said. "Where did he go?" asked Link. He said that Zelda would be his and Left." she said as she mixed a potion. Link ran back to the castle only to Find Zelda gone. Nailed to their door was this note:

Zelda is in my possession. If you don't surrender your throne, She will die.

"He's got your mother. I need your help." said Link to Darunia when he went inside. Darunia grabbed his Kokiri sword and Master's Bow. "That won't work." said Link. He took the Kokiri Sword from Darunia and gave him the guilded Sword. Link kept the Master Sword. They went to the temple of Time.There where mirrors circling Ganondorf and Zelda. Ganondorf stood by the Pedestal and Zelda sat in a Huge Rupee beside Him. "Are prepared to give up the throne?" asked Ganondorf. "No. I'll take you on." said Link. "You may have beaten me once but you won't beat me again." said Ganondorf confidently. Link prepared for battle. Ganondorf Shot a magic ball at Link. It was too high and it was obsorbed by a mirror. Ganondorf shot another ball and Link knocked it back. Ganondorf moved out of the way and the Ball was obsorbed by another mirror. two of the five circling mirrors had matter in them. Ganondorf shot yet another ball and it bounced off of the floor and was also absorbed by a mirror. Now three of the five where full. Ganondorf powered up a huge energy ball and threw it at Link. Link dove out of the way and the matter broke apart and absorbed the last two mirrors. Ganondorf shot a quick ball at Link while he was down. A direct hit... "Ha Ha Ha! Don't you see? You're no match for me!" said Ganondorf with a laugh. "Yeah... That's what you think." said Darunia. He pulled out his Master's Bow and shot an arrow at one of the Mirrors. It shattered and a ray of light shot at Ganondorf. Link got up and shot one too. Another ray hit Ganondorf. They shot out all five of the mirrors and a beam shot out of each one, holding Ganondorf in place. Link and Darunia both shot a Light arrow at Ganondorf. When all of the Light cleared, Ganondorf was gone. "I am very proud of you." said Link as they stood in the Temple of Time. "Me too. I am proud of both of you." said Zelda. "What are you talking about? My dad is the Hero of Time!" shouted Darunia with a laugh. Suddenly, a hand shot out of the Pedestal of Tim. it grabbed Link by the back of his Tunic and pulled him in! When the fist was gone, so was Link. Darunia stood and walked out of the Temple. "Wh-Where are you going?" asked Zelda in a shakey voice. "To find my Dad.'' answered Darunia. Thus, Darunia's Adventures where born...

Chapter 9: The Dark World

Darunia was set on finding his father. He knew that he could do it. He still had the Guilded sword and Master's Bow. Plus, He went back to the castle and got his dad's childhood Items. "Where can I start?" Darunia asked Himself. He mounted Epona and slowly walked her across Hyrule Field. Suddenly, Darunia's hip began to Rumble. He moved Epona farther ahead and walked back to the spot where he felt the rumble. He set a bomb and Ran. 'BOOM' the Bomb blew up and Knocked Darunia off of his Feet. He jumped down into the secret grotto and found a gossip stone. Darunia put on the Mask of Truth and spoke. "Tell me what you know." said Darunia.

"The Evil one has captured the Hero.

To the Dark world you must Go."

said The stone. "How do I get to the Dark world?" asked Darunia.

"In the Wasteland is the Way.

Find a mirror at the opposite of Day."

said the stone in it's mysterious voice. Darunia took off the Mask and stood on the light pad to get warped out. He ran over to Epona and rode her to Gerudo's Fortress. "Halt!!" shouted one of the Gerudos. "Leave this place at once!" she said. Darunia didn't stop. "A gerudo snuck up from behind him and knocked him off of Epona. He was caught and thrown in the small square room that His father once was in. "Let me speak to your Leader!!" shouted Darunia. Soon, A beautiful Gerudo was looking down on Darunia. "What is it?" she asked gruffly. "My father is in trouble! I need to save him!" shouted Darunia. "Sounds Like a personal problem to me." said the woman sarcastically. "Perhaps you know him? He has been well known across Hyrule for about 17 years. I am 10."said Link, hoping to break the woman's stubberness. "You tell me your father's name and I'll tell you if I know him." she said. "Link. The Hero of Time." answered Darunia. "Get this boy out of there now!" shouted the woman as her face brightened. "I am Nabooru, Leader of the Gerudo." said the woman when Darunia was Out. "I am Darunia, Prince of Hyrule. answered Darunia. "Link married Zelda? Never saw that coming!" said Nabooru. "You said your father was in trouble?" she continued. "Ganondorf, has brought Link, My father to the Dark World. I must save him." said Darunia. ''If he's in the Dark World, He ain't coming back." said Nabooru. "Than I'll go be with him. I must try." said Link. Nabooru and Three other gerudo escorted Link to the Mirror that night. "If you go in there, you won't come back." warned Nabooru. "Than Tell my mother that I love her." said Darunia. Without another word, Darunia dove into the mirror. He was falling down through dimensions. Everything was hazy... On the other side, Darunia ended up at his father's Childhood home! He was inside his dad's old house! The wood was rotted and the grass outside was dead. He then Realized that Nabooru might have been right. Maybe there wasn't a way to get home... Darunia decided that if he wasn't going to get home, He at least wanted to be with his dad. Be with his dad, or die trying... Darunia ran out of Kokiri Forest. The best place to look was the Castle. Darunia Ran across the Brown-grassed Hyrule Field and onto the Broken Drawbridge. He saw a guard... Not a Royal Family Member but one of Ganondorf's minions. "Hey!! Halt!!" shouted the creature. It ran at Darunia. This Lizard had a sword and a small shield. "Is my father in there?" asked Darunia. "You'll never know!" said the Lizard as he lunged at Darunia. Darunia blocked with his guilded Sword. He pushed the Lizard back and preformed a jump slash. A Hit!! "Oooh... you're good." said The Lizard as he wiped green blood off of his arm. Darunia Lunged the Guilded Sword deep into the Lizard. "Owwww!! Arrrgggghhh. Humph." after this line of shouts, the Lizard fell over, dead. Darunia continued on to the castle gates. He looked up at the huge castle that he didn't recognize... He walked up to the door determined to find Link.

Chapter 10: The Final Confrontation

The walls of the inner castle where a thick black. Not the Hylian colors that where there in the Light world. Darunia walked at a slow pace and suddenly He heard a tiny voice. "Hey!! Listen!!" it said. "I am Navi!! I know where your father is!! Come, There's still time!" said a little ball of light.Darunia followed the Fairy up the spiral staircase and then to the top room. He saw Ganondorf playing a huge organ. Above it was all three Triforce pieces!! That meant that BOTH of his parents where here. "Well Well Well." said Ganondorf without looking. "What a nice little family reunion." he said as two rupees holding Both Zelda and Link appeared. "Now that I have all Triforce pieces, I am unstoppable!!" shouted Ganondorf as his eyes met Darunia's. Suddenly, The triforce of courage floated towards Darunia. "Wh-What??" shouted Ganondorf in disbelief. Then, it shot back at Ganondorf at a fast pace and struck him in the heart. This gave Darunia the chance to attack. He pulled out the Master's Bow and shot three Light arrows at the same time at Ganondorf. The Triforce of Courage came to Darunia. It was now his. He ran up to Ganondorf and Started slashing and stabbing him with the guilded Sword. "No Darunia! That won't work! The master Sword is Behind his organ!! You must use that!!" shouted Link through the walls of the Rupee. Darunia ran to the Organ but was cut off by a shock of magic in his back. Darunia fell, lifeless. "NOOOOO!!!" shouted Zelda. "He He He!" laughed Ganondorf as he walked over to the huge rupees. "What's so funny?" asked Darunia confediantly. "How...??" said Ganondorf in disbelief. Darunia had the Master sword. Out of Anger, Ganondorf shot ray after ray of magic. Darunia deflected each and every one back to Ganondorf. Ganondorf wasn't expecting this and was hit by all of them! Ganondorf knelt down and gasped for air. Darunia Ran up to him. "Your reign as the Evil King is over." said Darunia. With one quick motion, The Master Sword was all the way through Ganondorf's body. The Rupees containing Zelda and Link disappeared. Suddenly, a Huge black Dragon busted through the floor. "The Dragon of Doom!" shouted Zelda in disbelief. "I've given you numerous chances, pitiful man! Now it's time for you to rot!" said The Dragon as it swallowed Ganondorf. "Darunia! You did it!" said Link. "You saved Hyrule... For good!" exclaimed Zelda as she hugged her son. As soon as the tail of the Dragon was back through the hole it created, Zelda, Link, and Darunia stood at the Drawbridge... in the Light World. The evil that Haunted the Land of Hyrule was one gone Forever... Thanks to the bravery of a 10 year old boy.
