The Legend of Zelda: The Link Ultimatum

By Kevin Meng

Part I: 72 Hours

“Tetra, look up there!” yelled Gonzo.
The pirate climbed up the ladder and got to the top of the watchtower. Zuko and Gonzo were up there waiting. Zuko was pointing at the sky and muttering very strange words. “What is it?” asked Tetra, “An enemy Flagship?”
“No, Tetra,” said Gonzo, “Look up in the sky!”
Tetra peered up into the dark night sky, and saw a monstrous monolith in the air. It was a giant moon, with a disturbing angry face carved on it. Based on the angle of it, the moon looked like it was dropping down directly at the Great Sea!
“OMFG!” screamed Tetra, “How the heck did that get in the sky?”
“I don’t know,” said Gonzo, “But I have a feeling it has something to do with that Ganondorf figure that was sealed in stone a few days ago. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you Tetra.”
“Shut up, Gonzo,” said Tetra.
She climbed down the ladder while thinking. “We’ll have to consult Link on this matter.”
When she was halfway down, she jumped and landed next to Senza, who was riding the ship. “Senza,” Tetra spoke, “Set a course for Outset Island.”

Link was at the rock platforms, jumping around and training. Orca watched on one stone platform, taking marks on his performance.
“Good work, my apprentice,” said the master, “You are more than just a skilled swordsman now. You are also an acrobat.”
“Shows what you know, pighead,” said the Sturgeon as he walked over with his cane, “I’ve been looking at something in the telescope that has been troubling me. Seems like some sort of moon, but I don’t know where it’s headed.”
“A moon?” asked Link, “Sounds familiar to something.”
“Yeah, but I don’t like the looks of it.”
A small rumble suddenly filled Outset.
“Did any of you just feel that?” asked Link.
Suddenly, the whole island rocked like an earthquake. The island seemed like it was pried off the sea. In fact, it was. Link looked beneath where he was standing to see the water getting farther and farther away from the land.
“Dammit!”
He used his new found skills to kick off the stone platforms and towards the bay. He landed on the tallest one, and began to panic. The island was being lifted into the air!
Link! Hear me Link!
The King of Red Lions! Link tried to search for the boat.
Quick! I’m at the pier! Just run here and get in!
Link found the peer. He thrust himself forward and flipped in the air. The green cloaked boy landed safely in the boat. The island rose out of reach behind them, and rubble from the bottom splashed water onto Link’s face. The King and Link looked back to see what was going on. “Help!” he heard Aryll yelling.
All 49 islands of the Great Sea were being lifted into the air from the sea. Link could recognize Windfall, Dragon Roost, and Forest Haven. Great Fish Isle was being lifted up in the distance. The islands were being raised up one kilometer into the sky, and then they pieced together.
Link! Look higher!
The boy looked above the now floating continent, and saw a giant castle dropping down onto the continent. It smashed onto the giant piece of land and became part of it.
“What is this evil?” asked Link, “Is that Ganondorf? Can’t be, I sealed him into stone a few seasons ago.”
Link, look. Tetra’s ship is in here.
Link turned around and saw the pirate ship in front of them. He nodded to the King of Red Lions, and they sailed towards the ship.

Link, Niko, Mako, Zuko, Nudge, Senza, and Gonzo all sat in a table in Tetra’s Cabin. Tetra paced back and forth at the entrance. Hyrule’s spirit hovered at the end of the table.
“So, let’s see,” said Tetra, “Link, you saw all the islands being lifted into the sky, and so did all of we. And at the same time, we saw a moon that was at the angle of crashing into the Great Sea. I don’t get it.”
“You forgot to mention that a castle landed onto the continent that the islands formed,” said Link.
“That continent is called Ganon Haven,” said Hyrule.
Everyone turned to look at him.
“I know this, because I have been communicating with Ganondorf these past days. He was still sealed in the stone, but I spoke with him. He told me of a place he dreamed of, where everything was perfect. But he wanted evil to reign. He wanted to create the world by piecing bits of earth together. Two days later, he escaped somehow. I do not know how, but maybe it is because he gave up some of his power.”
“He gave up power to escape,” said Mako, “That seems like a pretty fair deal to me.”
“Not if he escaped so he could find more power somewhere else,” said Link.
“What are you talking about?” asked Tetra.
“You know, Majora’s Mask?” explained Link, “I’ve had to deal with the magic in a previous lifetime. The thing was so powerful, that it warped the entire world of Hyrule and changed it into a place that was in a countdown to destruction.”
“This is the exact thing I was talking about,” said Hyrule, “The Majora’s Mask was obtained by Ganon after he escaped, and now he used it to abduct all the islands of the Great Sea, to create his own world. The same moon that you saw in the impact angle was the same one Link found in Termina. It would crash into the Termina within three days. So will this moon, onto the Great Sea. It will destroy everything.”
“Not much left to destroy, now that all the islands are gone,” said Niko.
“You fool!” exclaimed Tetra, “There are more worlds than you know of that exist in the Great Sea. Termina, Hyrule, Koholint Island… All will be disintegrated.”
“There still is hope,” said Hyrule, “Since Ganon escaped, the Master Sword has been scattered across the Realm again. It has entered a world, lost of its power. But Link can still retrieve it. The sword and its power must have fallen within three worlds: Dragon Roost Cavern, Forbidden Woods, and Great Bay. But after finding the Master Sword, one must still open a pathway to Ganon’s Lair. Tetra, you must do this. You must join Link as he recovers his sword, and you must find the three pearls: Din, Farore, and Nayru. Once you have found these, you will become Zelda again, and have enough power to open a gate to Ganon Haven. There, you must do battle with Ganondorf to stop his plans once and for all.”
“But what will he be doing while this happens?” asked Link.
“I do not know,” said Hyrule, “But I know it is something bad.”
“Don’t go, Tetra!” cried Gonzo, “If you die, I’ll be all alone!”
“Shut up!” demanded Tetra, “Stop being a baby.”
“So, the quest is decided,” said Hyrule.

Part II: The Din Gate

The pirates were all gathered at the deck of the ship. At the starboard side was a giant portal, and traveling into it were Link and Tetra, aboard the King of Red Lions. Link and Tetra gave the pirates a farewell, and they entered the portal.
They appeared in a black space with blue crystal lights. The King of Red Lions floated in midair. Link and Tetra got off the boat. Three silver gates were placed in front of them. One golden gate was behind.
“This is the Chamber of the Portals,” said the King, “The three gates in front of you will lead you to the Din Pearl, the Farore Pearl, and the Nayru Pearl. After you find the three pearls, then Tetra must turn into Zelda, for this gate only responds to her.”
Link and Tetra nodded, and they walked forward to the Din Gate, the first one. They approached it, and the gates opened. They then walked into the pathway.

Immediately they entered a new world. Everything was white and grey, like a bad tv screen. A pool of lava was in the middle but they couldn’t tell what the color was. Above them were wooden planks jutting out from the circular walls that surrounded them. On the ceiling dropped out Valoo’s tail.
“This must be that giant Magtail’s lair, right?” asked Tetra.
“Then where is the-”
Suddenly, a giant thing came out of the lava pool. It was huge, with a bunch of spiny legs. It had a head with two long claws, pincers, and large jaws. It blew fire randomly around the room, and then brought a claw onto the floor next to Link and Tetra, shaking the floor.
“Gohma!” yelled Link.
The creature brought its other claw on the other side of Link and Tetra. They were trapped.
Gohma extended its head forward and mouth wide open. A giant fireball began to accumulate in its mouth.
“Tetra!” yelled Link, “Give me my Hookshot!”
Tetra took out the Hookshot and gave it the Link. He then grabbed onto Tetra and fired at one of the wooden planks. They shot into the air just as Gohma blew magma all over the area they were just at.
Link and Tetra dropped onto the higher wooden planks. Link then changed into his Red Tunic to reduce the flame damage. “Stay here,” he said to Tetra.
Link then took out his grappling hook. Looking down, he saw Gohma still bewildered at where they went. Using the hook, he aimed at Valoo’s tail and swung across the room to the other side, landing on the floor below. Valoo’s tail swung around madly, and a piece of the ceiling came off. It then smashed onto Gohma’s body. The armor cracked and fell off.
Gohma looked up angrily, and saw Tetra on the wooden plank. It then reared out of the lava, and smashed onto the platform where Tetra stood. She was knocked back, and one of the pincers grabbed onto her leg. She had nothing to protect her but the dagger.
Link tried to remember how to kill the thing. “Tetra!” he yelled, “Hit its eye! That will destroy it!”
Tetra swung at the eye before Gohma could do anything. It instantly released Tetra, and the platform cracked apart. Tetra fell to the floor, okay, but a little scratched. Gohma screamed as it turned into magma and vaporized. Its eye then flew into the air, landing next to Tetra.
Link and Tetra ran over to see that the eye became the Din’s Pearl. At the same time, they found the Master Sword stuck into it. Link walked forward to touch the sword as Tetra walked forward to claim the pearl. As they touched, everything went white.

Part III: The Farore Gate

They were back at the Chamber of the Portals. The King of Red Lions floated there.
“You made it back alive,” the King said, “Put the pearl on my back, and you may continue with your next objective.”
They placed the pearl onto his back, and Link saw that the Master Sword was out of the pearl. “You have recovered you sword, that is good,” said the King, “You still must find the other powers, but at least the sword is stronger than the Hero’s Sword.”
Link smiled as he tossed his old sword, away, replacing it with his better one.
“You have now to overcome the obstacles of the Forbidden Woods,” said the King, “Go now, as the world depends on you.”
Link and Tetra looked at each other and nodded. Then they walked into the Farore Gate.

Once again, everything was grey and white. Link and Tetra stood in another circular room, but this time there was plant life everywhere. In the middle was a large flower.
Link looked at Tetra. “Tetra, I have something to say. You are the most important on this quest. On the last fight, you were almost killed. Everything really depends on you, since only you can create contact with the enemy. From now on, I really wish to fight on my own.”
“Right,” said Tetra, “And I’ll just stand and watch? I can’t do that.”
“Yes, but at least stay out of the way in this battle. We are dealing with a very-”
Tetra had already run up to the large flower in the middle. She got into the core of the flower, and looked around.
“Link, I don’t see any enemy…” she said.
“Tetra! Get out of there! That flower is the-”
A head popped out of the flower’s core. It was some sort of a small tulip head, but the petals opened up to reveal a mouth and a throat in it. The mouth drooled purple saliva onto Tetra’s neck, causing her to turn around to face the head with her sword drawn.
Kalle Demos, thought Link.
The flower then looked down at the terrified girl. It then opened its mouth wide and its jaws clamped around Tetra’s waist, lifting her into the air. She was halfway in, legs swinging in the air. The tulip mouth sucked on her body while drooling purple saliva all over the floor. Then it threw its head up, opened wider, and it swallowed Tetra alive.
Just like Makar! Thought Link, I told you to run away!
Kalle Demos licked its lips, and then burped out Tetra’s dagger, which landed next to Link. It then hung onto the ceiling with six tendrils, and countless vines rose out from the bottom of the flower. The vines had sharp edges, and moved very fast. Kalle Demos was fully revealed.
“That is it,” said Link, “You’re not going to get away after eating my girl.”
He took out his boomerang, and tossed it in a way that all the vines were beginning to be cut off. But the boomerang moved too slow, and that gave Kalle Demos enough time to knock Link onto the wall with a fast moving tentacle. Link blacked out.

In his head, Link saw himself in a field. Then as he looked around, he saw flashbacks of Tetra. He saw Tetra being held by the claws of the Helmaroc King, then Tetra flinging him into the Forsaken Fortress. He then saw a picture of Tetra winking to Link after leaving him to fight the Helmaroc King. Then he saw a picture of Tetra jumping in at the last minute to prevent Link from being killed by Ganon. Finally, he saw the picture of Tetra becoming Zelda.
Link couldn’t give up now. Tetra still needed to survive, even though she was just devoured by some plant monster. Link ran out of the field, and jumped off the edge.

Link woke up on the floor and looked up with just enough time to see Kalle Demos falling onto the floor, all tendrils severed off. The tulip head appeared again in the middle of the flower. It was still licking its lips.
“You sadistic thing!” yelled Link as he jumped forward with his sword. He stuck the sword through Kalle Demo’s head, and impaled it. The head writhed in agony, picking up Link in its jaws and flinging him across the place. Link did not give up. He jumped back up and used the Deku Leaf to blow Kalle Demo’s head back. The monster was stunned, and Link ran forward to give a good slash at the monster’s stem. The head was hit to the point that it almost fell off. Link then swung around again to give another slash.
The enemy was almost dead, but the flower began to close back up. Link jumped back and tossed a bomb into the flower just as it closed.
BOOM!
The flower petals were blown off, and the tulip’s head flew into the air. Part of the stem was connected to it. The head landed next to Link, who ran forward to it. He found the mouth opened, and then it began to wriggle. Tetra then crawled out of the throat of the tulip stem. She then kicked the head away as she got out, covered in purple slime.
“Thanks, Link,” said Tetra, “I didn’t know what I was doing. Before I knew it, I was almost ready to die. But you rescued me before that could happen.”
“Don’t do anything stupid anymore, and I’ll say you’re welcome,” said Link.
Link then hugged Tetra hard, which was kind of gross because she was drenched in Kalle Demo’s guts. Then Tetra took out something from her pocket.
“Look at what I found while I was inside Kalle Demos,” she said, “The Farore’s Pearl. Obviously it thought the pearl was candy or something.”
Link took out his Master Sword, and touched the blade onto the pearl. In a flash, they were gone.

Part IV: The Nayru Gate

Link and Tetra appeared back at the Chamber of the Portals. Tetra was all clean, and Link was clear of his battlescars. Link’s Master Sword was now half powered. They walked forward to the King of Red Lions.
“Some battle that was,” the King said, “That was the closest you ever came to losing it all.”
“Tetra was a little bit too excited about fighting,” said Link, “But I gave that giant plant a couple of good blows.”
“Well, the next enemy appears to be the strongest and largest one you’ll ever fight. Hope you’ll have a lucky time fighting in the Great Bay Temple.”
“Don’t worry, we’ll survive,” said Link.
Tetra put the pearl onto the King’s back.
They walked towards the final gate. Link looked back. “The Great Sea is in for a rough ride,” he said, “Everything better come out all right.”
Tetra looked at Link, and then Link at Tetra.
“What?” asked Tetra.
“Nothing, it’s just-”
Link looked at the floor, then at Tetra. “I’m in love with you.”
“I know that,” said Tetra, “You told me that before.”
“But you’re really Zelda, and I can’t be in love with someone who is a princess.”
“Right now, I’m still Tetra. You can think anything of me until I become Zelda.”
Link nodded, and they walked into the Nayru Gate.

They appeared on a platform. Beneath them was deep, dark, and evil water. Tetra hugged Link for comfort.
“Where are we?” she asked.
“We’re in the Lair of a giant monster,” said Link, “What else?”
“Look! Something is moving in the water!” yelled Tetra.
They looked in the water and saw a giant shadowy thing swimming beneath them.
“We’ll have to go after it,” said Link, “Here, wear this.”
Tetra was handed the Blue Tunic, and she wore it on.
“It will help you breathe and swim around in the water,” said Link.
He put on the Zora mask. “We’re ready to go,” he said.
The two jumped into the water and began to swim downwards. They swam down for a long time, and finally were at the ground. They looked around.
“Where did the thing go?” asked Tetra.
Suddenly, a giant thing shot out from behind them. Both ducked, and it swam past. It wasn’t aiming for them anyways, but they saw the giant purple fish chewing up a green guy in a jumpsuit, and it swallowed him. Link shivered in disgust. The Gyorg just ate Tingle. Not that Link really cared though. Tingle was kind of annoying.
It then turned around. The thing was huge, about as big as Gohma, but wider. The thing’s mouth was big enough to swallow a pirate ship.
“That is a Gyorg!” exclaimed Tetra, “Only that it is ten times bigger!”
“No, that is the King Gyorg. This is Great Bay Temple, and I remember fighting this thing.”
Suddenly, the thing charged at them with a wide open mouth. Tetra took out her dagger and swam out of the way, and tossed her dagger at the fish’s skin. It bounced off the Gyorg’s rough skin.
“What?!” she exclaimed.
Zora Link swam away from the Gyorg with ten times the speed. He then pulled Tetra up. “Quick, we must get to the surface! If we try to damage it now we’ll only get eaten!”
They started to swim up, and they landed onto the platform above the water. “Tetra, duck down for this. I’ve got this thing covered.”
Zora Link the saw the fish swimming below. It jumped into the air and over Link, who jumped out of the way. He then took off his mask, and was able to use his bow and arrow.
The Gyorg landed in the water and began to swim across to the other side. It was headed for Tetra.
Tetra saw this coming, and ran to the middle of the platform. The Gyorg smashed against the side of the platform, almost knocking her into the water.
Link saw the fish swimming back to his side, and jumped across the platform to bite Link. The boy swiftly ducked out of harm’s way, and the fish flew one inch from his body. While the Gyorg was still in the air, Link shot an arrow at the fish’s belly. The Gyorg shrieked, and fell into the water stunned.
The Gyorg began to sink slowly downwards, and Link saw this as an opportunity. He flipped on his Zora mask and dived into the water. He targeted the fish’s side. Equipping his shield, he did the Barrier charge attack. Link shot forward and smashed into the giant fish’s side, and came through the other side. The Gyorg writhed in the water, splashing bubbles everywhere as blood rapidly shot out of the holes Link made. Then the Gyorg was still; lifeless.
Link swam back to the surface and dolphin jumped on the platform. Tetra was waiting there.
“Ten said you made it,” said Tetra smiling.
Link grumbled and walked over, handing her ten rupees.
“On my way past the fish’s body, I knocked this out of it’s eye,” said Link, holding the Nayru’s pearl. “Now all we’ll have to do is find our way out of here.”
“Last time, you just needed to touch the Master Sword to it.”
Link first took off his mask. Then he set the pearl onto the floor, and jabbed the sword onto it. Nothing happened.
“Uh-oh,” said Link.
“The only way this can work is if the enemy has been destroyed. So then the only explanation is-“
A giant splash was made and the Gyorg jumped into the air. “It hasn’t died!” finished Tetra.
The Gyorg then charged at the platform at full speed. Link and Tetra braced for impact.
In all his anger, Gyorg smashed the platform into bits. Link and Tetra fell into the water. They saw the Gyorg swimming underneath their feet, jaws snapping as it crunched pieces of the platform to powder.
Link! I’m here!
Link looked in front of them. The King of Red Lions had appeared!
“Quick, Tetra! Get into the boat!” yelled Link.
Both of them swam for their lives as the Gyorg shot in their direction. They jumped into the boat just as the Gyorg’s jaws thrust up at where they just were.
“Go!” yelled Link.
He used his Windwaker baton and aimed the wind at the direction of a cave. The sail then flipped up, and they were off just as the Gyorg began to chase after them.
“Since you didn’t kill the enemy,” explained the King, “We’ll now have to find the mandatory exit, a portal that is somewhere in this cave.”
“LOOK OUT!” screamed Tetra.
The Gyorg appeared underneath them, and ascended as fast as sound.
Link flipped out his Ocarina of Time, and played the Song of Time. The Gyorg moved in slow motion as it struggled to move itself upwards.
The King of Red Lions found a draft of wind flowing through another cave, so he changed course. Just as he turned, the Song of Time wore off and the Gyorg crashed upwards.
They were navigating through another tunnel, when the Gyorg yet again emerged and began to chase. Link turned around and equipped the Bomb Cannon at the back of the boat. The King Gyorg opened its mouth wide as it charged forward to claim its dinner.
BOOM!
It got a mouthful of bombs. The Gyorg made a burp that propelled it back ten yards. They then arrived at a large opening area with a bunch of spires and stalagmites. Link turned back and began to rain bombs onto the Gyorg as it charged forward. The explosions were slowing it down, but not stopping it. It was going to get them soon.
Link had an idea. Above them was a wall of spires. He aimed upwards, and fired. The explosion rocked the cavern, and spires began to fall down. Ten impaled the Gyorg completely, and stuck it underwater like a thumbtack.
“Look! There is the portal!” yelled Tetra as she pointed ahead.
A purple gate stood in front of them. At the same time, a spire was falling down. The King of Red Lions jetted forward as fast as he could, and they made it in just as the spire crashed down.

Part V: Link vs. Dark Link

“Aahh!” yelled Link as they appeared back in the Chamber of the Portals. The spire had cut into his leg just as they got past. It wasn’t much of a wound, but he wasn’t going to be running anytime soon.
“That was very brave what you did back there,” said the King, “You fully exposed yourself to attack to help the rest. For that, your sword is now powered to its full extent.”
“Here, drink this,” said Tetra, walking over with a glass of Lon Lon Milk.
“Thanks,” said Link, and he chugged it down. His wound instantly healed.
Both then looked at the King, who had morphed into the spirit of Hyrule again. It his hands were the pearls. “We have the three pearls now. And Tetra, you must now take the pearls and transform into Zelda.”
The girl walked forward and held her hand forward. The three pearl then lifted into the air, and began to circle around her. A flash of light occurred, and in Tetra’s place was Zelda.
“Zelda…” said Link, “You look so…beautiful…”
“I have transformed,” said Zelda, looking at her hands, “I now have enough strength to open that lock!”
She turned around, and held her arm up. The lock of the gate, golden, turned grey and shattered.
“Let us enter,” said Zelda.
Hyrule floated towards the gate, and Zelda followed. Link was about to, when suddenly a dark arrow struck the floor in front of him.
“It’s an ambush!” yelled Hyrule, “Quick, get into the gate!”
“But what about Link?” asked Zelda in fear.
“He’ll take care of it. There is an enemy who he must deal with.”
Zelda gave one last worried look back at Link, then walked into the gate. Hyrule floated in behind her. Link then turned around and saw a dark figure walking over from in the darkness of the chamber. He then walked into the light of the crystal platform. It was Dark Link.
“You!” yelled Link, “Who the hell are you?!”
“I’m you! I’m your shadow!” yelled Dark Link.
“What?!” exclaimed Link.
“Ask the father that you killed! I’ll send you to hell to meet him!”
Dark Link then charged over with his sword. Link countered, and the duel began.
Link struck downwards and twisted Dark Link’s sword around until his arm was locked in a corner. He then kicked Dark Link in the face.
“Is that a way to treat your shadow?” he taunted.
Dark Link then struck his sword upwards, glancing the sword off Link’s face. A little blood fell out.
“There is no father of mine that has died!” said Link.
“Relax, I was just saying a quote from Metal Gear Solid.”
“Really? Well, anyways, DIE!”
Link spun his sword around, and Dark Link countered it. Link then brought the sword down a couple of inches to complete the slash. Dark Link put his foot onto Link’s sword and planted it into the platform. Dark Link laughed and brought his sword up, the hilt knocking Link in the chest. Link backed up and coughed up some blood. He then darted forward while rapidly swinging the Skull Hammer. Dark Link’s eyes bulged wide open as he was smashed into the floor as flat as a disk.
He then popped up back into shape. At the same time Link tossed his boomerang forward. It cut Dark Link’s arm, and he dropped his sword. Dark Link was then stunned from the pain for a few seconds. Link ran forward and slashed. At the same time Dark Link brought his sword up. They were in a stale mate. Both sides were trying to win the other by completing the slash. Dark Link then kicked Link all the way to the other side. He almost fell off the crystal platform. Link grabbed onto the edge. Dark Link walked over and slashed down onto Link. Link blocked, and grabbed onto Dark Link’s arm. He then vaulted over the enemy, slashing downwards. He cleaved Dark Link’s back open.
When he landed, he saw that Dark Link’s back was healing itself at the time. Link then charged up for a Hurricane Spin. Dark Link recovered himself just as Link came spinning over with a flashing sword. Dark Link countered by spinning around the other way, blocking three times. On the third time, he shot his arm out in a rapid movement, and snatched the Master Sword out of Link’s hand.
Dark Link then jumped away, with a triumphant smile. He now owned the Dark Master Sword, and the Light Master Sword. He had prevailed.
But he saw that Link was chuckling. Then it became laughter.
“What are you so happy about?” Dark Link asked.
“This.”
Link suddenly holstered a giant minigun from his back, with a backpack full of ammunition. Dark Link dropped both swords in indignance. “Where the #@$% did you get that?!”
“Doesn’t matter. Only lead injection matters.”
Link then raised the gun and fired. The hail of bullets hit Dark Link until he vaporized. The Master Sword lay in his place.
Link put the machine gun away and walked forward to claim his sword back. Then he continued on into the portal.
“So long, Old Enemy.”

Part VI: Armageddon

Link appeared in a strange area. He was at the stairs circling up a very tall tower. Looking down, he saw all 49 islands of the Great Sea pieced underneath him. He grew dizzy from the height.
Link then ran up the stairs. He heard a scream. That sounded like Zelda’s voice!
He ran all the way up the stairs, and entered a familiar four star platform. The stairs then crumbled behind him. In front was Zelda, and she was on the floor with no motion.
Ganondorf stood at the other end of the platform, and in his hands were the three pearls. His face held the Majora’s Mask. Farther forward, the moon was seen at the exact level of the tower they were on. He smiled and dropped the pearls to the floor.
“Go ahead, try taking them back,” he taunted.
“You killed her, you bastard!” yelled Link as he ran forward.
“No, I wouldn’t say that,” said Ganondorf as he lifted the Nayru’s Pearl. A forcefield grew around him and knocked Link backwards. “All I did was ionize her with energy.”
“You’re going to pay,” said Link.
“I don’t think so. You’re on my lair now, Link, raised up two kilometers in the air. I could use my magic and knock you off like a fly if I wished. The moon is only thirty minutes away from destroying the Great Sea, and then everything you know of will be lost.”
He then walked back to his edge of the platform. Link saw two pieces of the Triforce formed. Only the Triforce of Wisdom was missing.
“I need this final Triforce to wish for evi reign of this world forever, and that no matter what anybody says it cannot be reversed,” he turned back, “That means if you try to counterwish anything, it’s not gonna happen! Ha, sucker!”
“You still haven’t found the Triforce yet, and you never will!” yelled Link, “And I will make sure that the moon will never touch the Great Sea!”
Ganon laughed. “Haha! Just look in front of you. If it is something that can be stopped, then stop it!”
With that, he held one hand up in the air and shouted. A beam of light burst from his hands, and illuminated the arena. Link saw in the distance that the moon suddenly was moving at twice its speed. They only had fifteen minutes left! Ganon was using his might to bring down the moon onto the sea!
Link took something out of his shield pack, and put it on his face. The Fierce Deity mask! He then looked forward with anger.
“Die Ganon!” he yelled.
Link then swung and unleashed a firebolt at Ganon from his sword, who jumped into the air to dodge it. He then lifted the Din Pearl and fired with Din’s fire three times. Link arched his back in bullet time, and the fire missed his body by a hairbreadth. Link uprighted himself to see ten more fireballs headed his direction. He spun around to dodge, watching the flames whizz by his body. He then swung out with his sword, and deflected a fireball.
The flame then redirected its path at Ganon. Link saw this as a chance and flashed forward to fight. Ganon suddenly revealed a sword in one hand and deflected the blow of the fireball. As Link swung his sword, another sword appeared in Ganon’s other hand, blocking that attack.
Ganon then advanced on Link with a series of quick slashing attacks. Link flashed his sword quick too, but not fast enough for two swords. Link saw a good opportunity the strike at Ganon’s heart, since he mainly attacked at the sides by slashing. Ganon suddenly jumped into the air and descended on Link with both swords pointing downwards. Link then parried, rolling in a circle and ending up behind Ganon as he landed. SLASH! Ganon’s back was hit, and he bent over weakened. Link then rolled back onto his feet and ran to attack Ganon.
In an instant Ganon had righted himself and slashed backwards. Link cried as his arm was sliced off.
“AAUUGHH!”
Ganon smiled and continued by using his next sword to strike. The sword went right into Link’s chest. The green boy looked at Ganon.
“Why…”
He then kneeled onto the floor, and his mask fell off. Link then collapsed onto the floor. Ganon walked over to retrieve his sword.
“Every hero was made to die, and it is always fun killing them,” he said, “The world is lost, and all under my control now.”
He walked over to Link and looked down on him. “Not even a match. Good bye, Hero of Time.”
Ganon turned back to look for the pearls. They weren’t there. He found them rolling in a certain direction, towards Zelda.
“NO!”
The pearls then touched Zelda, and formed into her body. Zelda then rose. Her eyes opened.
“Link!” she yelled. Zelda then ran over to the bleeding body of Link, now eyes closed.
“Link…” she said, crying. Ganondorf laughed out loud.
“How could you do this!” she yelled.
“It is only because he first tried to attack me.”
“That was because you first attacked me!” yelled Zelda, “Now I’ll finish the job Link was after!”
She looked at Link. “I will show you the marvels of my power. I hope you are watching down from heaven.”
Zelda then created fifty Din’s Fire all at once. Ganon coughed in surprise and yelped as she rained all of it onto him.
The running Gerudo was scorched from all of the fireballs. He then turned back and shook himself free of the fire. “Ha! Is that all you got?” Taking aim, he charged a giant energy ball and fired it at Zelda. Zelda teleported with Farore’s Wind, and disappeared from Ganondorf’s sight. “Where the hell did she go?” thought Ganon. She then appeared behind him, and kneed him in the back. Ganon coughed up spit, and hunched forward. Then he rapidly swung back with one sword. Zelda ducked, and kicked upwards, knocking the sword out of his hand. Then she used Nayru’s Love, and Ganon was knocked into the air by the shield.
“Pretty feisty woman, aren’t you?” he taunted with a bloody nose.
He hovered in midair and swung his swords three times, and three energy streaks flew at Zelda. She flew towards Ganon while swerving left and right to dodge, and then shot Din’s Fire at Ganon. He was hit in the head, and yelped with the pain. Zelda then teleported everywhere around Ganon, yelling a battlecry as she kicked everywhere around Ganon. The cry echoed out through the arena. Ganon would be kicked forward, and instantly Zelda would punch him in the face, and as his head flew back she would appear on top of Ganon generating a Din’s Fire.
“So much power…” said Ganon.
The cry reached the Triforce of Courage on the unfinished Triforce. It then resonated. A beam from the Triforce then shot at Link’s direction. The beam lifted Link into the air. The wound in his chest was healing, and his arm grew back. Link’s eyes then opened.
“NOOO!!!!” yelled Ganon.
The boy stood up in a daze. He was sure that he was dead. He was stuck in the chest by a sword. But he was alive. Looking around, he found the Fierce Deity Mask. That was not what he was looking for, because obviously the mask couldn’t help him fight against Ganon. He then found the Master Sword. Looking up, he saw Zelda beating the crap out of Ganon. Ganon was bleeding all around him, full of bruises. Finally, some of his teeth were knocked out.
“That’s what you get, Ganondork!” he yelled.
“Link?!”
Zelda looked down, and saw Link standing there. “LINK!” she cried.
“Look out!” yelled Link.
Zelda turned back just in time to evade Ganon’s Warlock Punch. Purple energy flew past her. She then took out the Light Arrow. Taking aim at the fiend, she fired.
“AAAAGHHH!” yelled Ganon.
He then froze in midair, and descended to the floor. Zelda turned to Link. “You know what to do!” she yelled.
Link nodded and ran towards Ganon. The enemy began to struggle with the power of the Light arrow, but was having a hard time. He saw Link running over with his Master Sword in hand.
“No…”
Ganon then stuck both swords out. Link jumped to dodge, catapulting forward. Ganon then brought his swords up, and Link blocked by swinging his sword below him. He then ended up striking forward, impaling Ganon.
“AAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHH!
Ganon looked at the sword in his chest. He then looked up at Link. Blood flowed out of his mouth. The Majora’s Mask then glowed with light, and it sunk into Ganon’s face. He then chuckled.
“You’ll need more than that to prevent yourself from dying.”
“What?!”
Ganon then laughed loudly. He then began to grow brightly with light. Suddenly, a faded image of the Majora’s Mask appeared around him.
“The power of the Mask grants me ten seconds of ultimate power before I am fully defeated! My fate will not be sealed without a fight!”
Ganon then charged forward, starting a reaction of events.

TEN: Ganon ignites the rim with fire. Zelda releases a fire bolt at Ganon.
NINE: Ganon reflects the Din’s Fire. Link hits it back, but is hit backwards by the force.
EIGHT: Link falls toward the fire.
SEVEN: Zelda flies over and grabs Link before he can fall in. Ganon then grows tentacles and they shoot out.
SIX: All tentacles coil around Zelda. She drops Link to the floor.
FIVE: A tentacle with fangs on it darts for Zelda’s neck. Link takes out his boomerang.
FOUR: Link tosses the boomerang. The tentacles are cut off a second before the fang reaches Zelda.
THREE: Ganon gets angered, and fires out one hundred bolts of energy at random directions.
TWO: Link pulls out his shield and pulls Zelda out of the way. One energy bolt hits Zelda on her skirt.
ONE: Ganon charges up to destroy the entire arena, and everything two miles away.
ZERO: Ganon freezes into stone before he is finished charging up.

“I will not be sealed! I will not be…”
Ganon turned to stone. The faded Majora’s Mask around him disappeared.
Link looked at his finally defeated adversary for a long time. Then he noticed Zelda was staring forward.
“What is it?”
“The moon,” she said, “It hasn’t stopped.”
Hyrule’s spirit then appeared next to them. He looked upset. “The moon has already gotten too close to the Great Sea. It cannot reverse its direction, even with Ganon gone. It will continue to travel in this direction.”
Everyone looked at the moon. It was now flaming brightly, traveling down with immense speed as it got closer and closer to the sea.
“Is there anyway to stop it?” asked Zelda.
“There has to be a way!” yelled Link. He took out his Ocarina.
“Link, stop!!” yelled Hyrule, “If you reverse the time, you’ll undo all the work that was done!”
“Then what can we do?” asked Zelda.
Link was looking around the platform, and then he saw it. The Triforce.
“The Triforce will work!” he exclaimed.
“But it is unfinished!” said Zelda, “If only…”
Link then thought deeply. The pearls have helped them so far. If only the pearls could show him where the Triforce was. The Pearls…
“GOT IT!” yelled Link.
He ran over to Zelda. “Hand me the pearls,” he said.
Zelda focused, and the pearls left her body. They then circled in front of Link’s face. They formed a triangle.
“Triforce!” yelled Link, “Come to me!”
Golden filled the triangle. The Triforce was made.
“Good work Link!” yelled Hyrule.
A giant rumble shook the area. They turned back to the moon to see that it was getting too close. It was already close enough to be seen moving. The rumble was caused by a piece of the moon breaking off from its speed. It was now traveling under the atmosphere.
“We have only fifteen seconds left!” yelled Zelda.
Link pulled the Triforce and transferred it onto the two other, completing the whole pattern. The Triforce was finished.
“HURRY!!” screamed Zelda.
Link then ran to the Triforce. He then touched it and began to speak. “Power of the Gods. I speak to you now. Rewind all time. Take everything back to the most recent time of peace. Then take away this foul evil presence away from the sea, and protect us forevermore. Let none of us remember any of this.”
Link let go just as the moon smashed onto the sea, creating an explosion that set off an entire tidal wave. The wave traveled at Link and Zelda faster than the eye could catch. A nanosecond before they could be hit, everything suddenly rewinded.

Part VII: Back to the Past

Link was at the rock platforms, jumping around and training. Orca watched on one stone platform, taking marks on his performance.
“Good work, my apprentice,” said the master, “You are more than just a skilled swordsman now. You are also an acrobat.”
“Shows what you know, pighead,” said the Sturgeon as he walked over with his cane, “I’ve been looking at something in the telescope that has been troubling me. Seems like some sort of moon, but I don’t know where it’s headed.”
“A moon?” asked Link, “Sounds familiar to something.”
“Yeah, but I don’t like the looks of it.”
“Let me check it out,” said Link.
They walked to Sturgeon’s room. Link then walked to the window where a telescope was placed. He then looked out of it.
“Look in the sky,” said the Sturgeon.
Link looked up. He saw a faint image of a giant moon there. He blinked, and looked back. The image then faded away.
“Sturgeon, I think you’re mistaken. There’s no moon there.”
“Really? Well, then it probably was my bad eyesight.”
Link then continued to look out of the telescope as the Sturgeon walked away. He looked around in the sky, and saw a swarm of Seahats out in the distance. Then, he saw Tetra’s ship riding over to Windfall Island. Farther out, he could see Forsaken Fortress, now more decayed than ever. The whole world was at utmost peace. He felt happy.
Looking back up, he tried to find the moon again. It never appeared.
“Ganon, you’ll never be able to hurt us,” he said, “Never.”
