The Legend of Zelda: The Past Revealed: by Darkman X "MUAHAHAHAHA!!" The laugh of the witch could be heard for miles around the land of Hyrule. The witch was plotting against Link and all of the royal family to take over the throne and put Hyrule under her evil rule. As her laugh echoed throughout the once beautiful land of Hyrule, Link is awaken by the dreadful, yet mournful, laugh of the evil witch. Link rushed out to the field as quick as he could, as if he knew what was about to happen. As he reached the field, he stood agast, as a black cloud formed over Hyrule castle town. The land shook as, what seemed to be a dark demon, came bellowing out of the cloud, spewing flame and fire all throughout the town. "OH NO!!" yelled he, watching in total horror at what the creature was doing, and at the same time wondering in fear at what it could do if it wasn't stopped soon. He called fourth Epona, his faithful and trusty stead, but she was too scared to go any closer than a few hundred yards. Link leapt down off of his horse and ran as fast as he could toward the town, but it was too late. The town was reduced to rubble, and all of its citizens, the few that were alive, reduced to poverty in mear seconds. Link ran around in panic. He could hear voices coming from beneath the rubble..but who? He searched frantically to find the whereabouts of the plees for help. He found them inside an abandoned building in the back alley. "Thank you, kind sir!" said a man, who, as of his young age, looked rather familiar. He offered the man a helping hand in finding his grandchildren, who were trapped somewhere in the building. The young man found them in the most peculiar place: inside the floorboards. Link grabbed them hand in hand and put them on his back. The man led the way out. Just as they escapped the burning inferno of wood and cloth, the house collapsed. "Let me look for more survivors," the man said, motioning to his kids to get out of the town,"and you work on getting the fire put out." Link slaved, running back and fourth to the stream surrounding the castle walls. The he realized he could use his ice arrow. With that thought in mind, he whiped out his bow and powered up some arrows with ice magic, wich Link had plenty of. He got done in about 3 days, then he went to find the man. "Any luck?" asked Link, huffing and puffing with exhaustion. The man paused. "Unfortunatly, no. Me and my sons are the only surivivors." replied the man, looking down towards the ground in disapointment. "Uh, may I ask a question?" Link wanted some answers. "Sure," replied the man, "ask away." "Alright. You were here when the creature attacked. What happened? Was there anyone else involved?" link said with rushing words. "The monster was summoned by an evil witch named Christen. She said some things about her wanting revenge for what happened to her son. She blamed it on the King. Then she screamed 'I'LL KILL YOU ALL!' and then chanted some very strange, yet creepy hymns." the man paused a bit, then he spoke again. "It sent chills down my spine." "OK, where does this witch live?" Link yet again said in rushed words. "I....don't know..but she headed off in the direction of Death Mountain. Maybe you can find her there." "Thank you!!" Link said as he ran off towards the mountain. Then he stopped. "WAIT!! I never got your name!!" Yelled link. "Jericana," the man replied, "my name is Jericana." "Thank you, Jericana!!! I HOPE WE MEET AGAIN!!!" Link reached Kakariko Village early in the morning. "Strange.." Link thought to himself, "Kakariko was untouched...very strange." Link, being the Hero of Time, still had to rest. He took shelter in an old abandoned house. He dreamed of what the witch Christen was doing and what the King could have done to her son. The only way for him to find that out was to search for her. Link awoke the next morning to find a giant spider hanging above his head. Startled, he sprang up and unsheathed his mighty blade, then slowly put it back as the spider spoke to him. "How can a spider speak?" pondered Link in his mind, "Well, thats another thing I'll need to find out." The spider spoke again. "Who are you? What do you want? Why are you here?" Link stood in silence trying to grasp what was happening. "ANSWER ME YOU INSOLENT FOOL!" screamed the spider, and Link leapt backwards and once again unsheathed his mighty blade. "I SAID ANSWER!!" screamed the spider yet again. Link, stepped backwards slwoly, then turned around and ran out of the house. "What the hack was that? Was it a spider or a human? Whatever it was, I'm not going back in there." Link looked around Kakariko for any people that might know the whereabouts of the witch. He found a young boy, cold and shivering, who said he saw where the witch had gone and that, in fact, the witch had taken him there. Link listenede to his story ad found out that he was captured by the witch and had barely escaped from her last knight. Then Link asked him where the witch lives. He replied in one word: crater. "Crater?" Link thought. "He must mean Death Mountain crater." Link rushed up the mountain towards the crater. He took a short stop at the Goron Village along the way. "HEY!!! IT'S THE DODONGO BUSTER FROM THE OTHER WEEK!" All the Gorons rushed towards Link, scaring the living daylights out of him. "STOOOOP!!" Link yelled, wildly motioning with his hands for them to stop. They all halted immediatly. "Thank you." Link said in a sigh of relief. "I am here for some supplies. I am headed towards the crater in search of a witch, and am in need of some bombs and one of your heat-resistant tunics." All of a sudden, the gaggle of Gorons parted into a narrow path, and from that path came the great Darunia, king of the Gorons. "Welcome, Link, to our humble abode once again. We are happy to see you. Please, follow me." Link followed the great king to his chambers. "Well, well, well. What is it that you need?" asked Darunia. "I need some bombs and a heat-resistant tunic." replied Link. Darunia then summoned his men, who arried a great big box of bombs. "You may take as much as you need. It is free, a token of our appreciation." "Thank you very much. I am ever so greatful." "No need to thank us...you deserve it." Link picked up some bombs and stuffed them is his bomb bag. He then took a tunic. "I must go now." Link said as he put his bomb bag back behind his sheild. "Please, come again, friend Link." Darunia shook Links hand and Link departed after saying good bye to all of his friends. Link reached the crater at sundown, and took a few seconds to admire the scenery. Taking a deap breath, he turned around and entered the crater, with his new tunic on. He searched around, trying to find a place that looked like someone was there. He found it inside the fire temple. He noticed that the temple was different.....much different. "What the...?" Link was astonished at how quickly he got lost. It seemed as if he would enter one door, turn around, and exit the same way he came in, he was in a totally different place then where he originally entered the room. "This might take a while....if only Navi was still here..." As he said that, he heard a voce. "Hey!! Listen!!" It was Navi the fairy. Link turned around and was scared by Navi, and fell into a lava pool. "You're lucky that I am wearing a tunic that won't let me burn..." Link said through his teeth, glaring at Navi. "Well, we need to get going now, so come along." Link waved to Navi, motioning her to follow. Navi was a good friend...a bit daft in the head....but a good friend. Link slaved for hours trying to figure out the temple, a tedious task it was. He found out that if you go into one room, then exit from the same door, you will be transported to a completely different part of the temple. "This could be helpful," Link thought in his mind, "but the only problem is when to use this." Link eventually found his way to a room with no exit. As he tried to leave, bars blocked his path, and a giant dragon fell from the ceiling. Link turned around and whipped out his sword. "NAVI!! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!!" Link screamed, desperatly trying to slash the dragon with his sword. "It is a dragon...its name is..." Navi paused. "His name is Dagoonagaten. He is a fire breathing dragon with a VERY bad temper." Navi's insightful information gave Link a clue on how to beat it:with ice and water. "Great. Now, can you tell me how to kill it?" Link said while dodging the dragons teeth and fire. "Let me think.." "Hurry up, Navi. I ain't got all day you know!" Link was getting antsy, as he was dodging this dragons attacks for twenty-five minutes. "OK, OK...I've got it. I hope you have bombs with you, because you're gonna need them. There are five holes in the floor. Put a bomb in each of the holes in the proper order. Then when they all eventually explode, if you put them in the right order, he should stop moving. Hit him with an ice arrow to stun him, then hit him with your sword to inflict damage." Navi's explanation worked, untill it evolved. "Now what, Navi?" Link was frightened by the towering figure in front of him. "Do the exact same thing. He is almost dead, he is just stronger and faster and he doesn't stay stunned as long." This made link feel Like rejoycing, but intead he tried even harder than before. He defeated the monster after hours of battle. Suddenly the floor opened up and healing faries came out. He took advantage of this and healed. He also caought some for later need. Then a chest materalized, and Link found a magic rod inside of it. He thought it to be useful and kept it. Link rode up the elavator rock into a passageway that seemed endless. He ran down it, easily defeating the redeads and stalfos knights and lizalfos that confronted him. At the end of the hallway was a door with a lock on it. "Oh great," Link thought, "this is gonna be fun." Wait!!" Navi interrupted. "Use the Lense of Truth! Maybe there is a hidden hole in the wall." "Thats not such a bad idea.." Link then reached into his supplies and took out the Lense of Truth, looked around, and found a hidded door. He went inside and was unexpectedly challenged to a ten to one fight against stalfos knnights. Link defeated them easily, and yet again a chest materialized. This time it held a really big key. "This looks like it will fit into the lock on that door out there." Link went back and was about to open the door when he realized what would happen. He then used the Lense of Truth and found another door right next to it that went to the same area. He arrived in the hallway again and put the key into the lock. He turned it, and the door slowly swung open. "What coulb be inside there?" Link pondered. "The only way to find out is to look." he entered the room and saw the witch. "HEHEHEHEHE! So nice of you to join me, Link. I've been waiting for you." The witch, as old as she may have been, was gorgeous, to Link anyway. She had long black hair that looked like silk. She had brown eyes that chilled Link to the bone. "How did you know I was coming?" Link asked in anger, drawing his sword and clenching his other fist tightly. "Heh..you didn't know? HEHEHE!! I'll tell you. I saw you in this." She heald up a mirror, and it showed Link running around the temple and fighting the dragon. "HEHEHEHE!! Now you know, and now you must die!! I hope you're ready to fight. I have..brought an old friend back from the original temple. You know it well, as you had to rescue those worthless Gorons from it." "You...didn't! No, it's not possible!!" Link was afraid, very afraid, for e knew what he was going to have to do all over again. "That's right! I have brought Volvagia, the dragon for whom this temple was built for, back ti life." Christen then chanted some phrases and hymns, and then the ground violently shook. "Hehehe. I have also taken the liberty of enhancing the power and speed of this creature." Christen then disappeared. Volvagia then broke out ot a pedastle, and shot lightning quick around the room. "OH NO!!" Link screamed, pulling out his megaton hammer. He awaited Volvagias appearance and smashed his head with the hammer, but nothing happened. "WHAAAAT!!?? NAVI, WHAT THE HECK DO I DO NOW!?" "I have no idea....wait! Remember that magic rod? Try using that on him and see what happens." Link pulled out the rod and fired it at the rabid snake-like monster. It stunned the great monster, and Link was able to smash him with the megaton hammer. After he defeated him, Christen appeared again. "Well done, Link. You have truly mastered the art of battle. Now let's see how good you do against another one of your past enemies." In the blink of an eye, Link was standing in the water temple, and he saw Jericana being stalked by monsters. He ran up to his friend and destroyed them with a single strike. "Thank you, friend. You have my eternal grattitude." Links friend, being a smart and powerful magician, told Link of his dilemma. His children were captered by a nucleous-like monster. "Oh no..." Link said to himself, "not again." Link promised he'd get his kids back from the evil fiend Morpha. Link showed him out, and then yurned back to take care of buisiness. Link noticed that the temple was not altered this time, and she had left the lair of Morpha unlocked. Link climbed up onto the platform and opened the door. Link stood in horror as five Morphas appeared out of the wate. "OH MY LORD!!" Links screamed in total horror. "Christen must have brought Morpha back to life several times!!" Link went along and found that they could be destroyed the same way as the original. He battled for days trying to end the life of all five Morphas. He was tossed about as he fired his longshot into the core of one of the mighty opponents and then be thrown across the room by another one of the monsters. He finally defeated them, and then he returned Jericanas children to their father. "Thank you, Link. I am forever in your debt. Please, take this." He handed Link a sword, and a large one at that. "This sword is four times as strong as your sword, but too large to be carried in one hand. "Thank you, my friend. I will keep this in my possesion forever." As Jericanna and his children walked away, Christen appeared. "Well, well, well. What do we have here? You defeated all of the enemies that I brought back. But, you cannot defeat me." The witch glared at Link. "O yeah? Try me." Link challenged Christen to a battle. "Fine. It is done." Christen transported both of them to a field. "Hah. Now we'll see who can't defeat who." Link unsheated his new sword. "Very well then. The fght is on." They stood there, staring each other down, waiting for the other to move. Link charged at Christen, attempting to stab her with his new sword. She dodged it and laughed at Link. "HAHAHAHA!! You actually think you can beat me that way? HAH!! Try again." The witch continued to laugh. "Navi," Link whispered, "what do I do to beat her?" "Wait utill she shoots magic at you. Dodge it, and run up to her and slash her with the master sword." "WHAT!? I can't use my new sword?" "No, it makes you too slow. You have to be at close range to attack her." Link put his new blade away and unsheathed his Master sword. "HAH! You choose to give up so quickly? Then I shall kill you roght now!!" She charged at Link, shooting magic at him in rapid fire. He put up his shield and deflected the bolts of magic. She paused, regaining her strength. She then approached Link, and stood in his face. She raised her hand and prepared to smash Link. Just as she was about to strike, Link stabbed her in the stomach. "Whaaat!?" She fell to her knees. "I...can't....believe this...." She tried to stand up, but collapsed again. "Hmph..." Link held up his sword and prepared to strike, but stopped when Christen called out his name. "Link....*cough*....I....need to.....tell you something...*cough*" Link stood over witch. "Make it quick." Link said, holding the sword above her head. "Link......I.....am............your................mother." Link threw his sword down and held her in his arms. "M-mother??" Link stuttered, completely overcome with emotion. "Why didn't you tell me?" "I'm.......sorry.......Link..." "NOOOOOO!!" screamed Link as his very own mother died in his arms. "How could let this happen....HOW!?" Link then stood up and pointed his sword at himself. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, LINK?! YOU CAN'T JUST LET IT ALL END THAT WAY!! WHAT ABOUT ME? WHAT ABOUT THE OTHERS? YOU JUST CAN'T LEAVE US ALL BEHIND!" "You're right, Navi," Link said after a long pause, "I cant just leave you all here bye yourselves." Link paused. "Let's go, Navi." Link stood up and Navi followed behind. "Wait!" Navi said suddenly. "What is it?" asked Link. "Nothing. I just wanted to see if you were paying attention.'' Link rolled his eyes at her and laughed. "Whatever...let's just go." With that said, the two partners walked away from the death site of Links mother and went back to Kokiri Forest. The End by: dâ®kmâñ×
