The Great Battle by SPartan 119
Michael was on the walls of Hyrule Market. Seeing the doom of Hyrule venture ever closer and closer to them. He had never lost hope and that policy would not change. "There is always hope," he would say to himself if he was in a tight predicament.

A troll was leading the army into battle. This wasn't a normal cave troll like he, Link, and Zelda had faced before. These were fully grown mountain trolls capable of bashing down a 3 foot thick castle wall which indeed this city was.

"Raise the drawbridge!" commanded Michael to the soldiers up top. They spun the wheel and up went the bridge as the enemy was nearing the city walls. The troll saw this and seized it's massive chain mace. "Come out and fight!" said the troll in a barely understandable voice, "So that we may kill you without pain!"

"If you wish to fight then come in if you can!" yelled Michael.

Just then one of the enemy soldiers launched an arrow straight between Michael's eyes. When it was five inches away from his face Michael lifted his hand up in a flash and caught the arrow between his fingers. He then pulled out his bow and launched at the soldier that had launched the arrow at him. He had tried the same trick Michael had but he was too slow. It went straight into his left eye and through deeper into his head killing it.

"As I said before," began Michael, "If you wish to fight you must come to us!"

"Then we will destroy your bridge and make you cower in fear and pain!" screamed the troll. He then took his chain mace and flung it at the drawbridge. With one hit the bridge had already been half destroyed. He forced it a second time. The bridge was almost completely destroyed. Then the final time and it was down.

"Volley!" yelled Michael. Without knowing it hundreds of archers were behind the draw bridge ready to fire. They launched all their arrows and killed the first and second lines.

"Bring in the dirt!" yelled the troll. Then the four other trolls brought in massive rocks and within minutes they had created a wall that blocked all the arrows, also turned the river into a huge pile of rocks.

"Bring in the dragon's head!" yelled the head troll again and a large device was brought in. It bashed into the rock wall and after four bashes the rock built wall collapsed and in came the trolls at first.

"Volley!" yelled Michael again as the armored trolls took out their swords, shields, maces, etc.

The trolls had alone done quite a bit of damage to their enemy. Just then the leading troll commanded that the dragon come in. The soldiers from behind released the dragon and in it came causing double the havoc that the trolls had created.

All the citizens of Hyrule Market fled back to the castle whilst the soldiers were trying to fend off the enemies.

"Move into the city!" commanded the troll. "Destroy everything!"

The soldiers moved in and launched fire arrows and bombs at each of the houses making the city burn.

Back at the gate that leads to the castle all the soldiers had fallen back and stood there hoping that they wouldn't come any further.

Meanwhile Link finally caught up to Michael and the group of soldiers. He got up on the small cliff to see what had happened. He saw the chaos and destruction that had consumed the city. Many innocent civilians had been killed. He saw the leading troll and was furious at him. He pulled out a single arrow and launched it at the troll. It went straight in-between the trolls armor and went straight through his neck. The troll fell down to the floor dead.

The dragon saw this and attacked Link head on. It grabbed Link and crushed him between his talons.

Michael no doubtedly saw this and he got an arrow and tied a rope onto it. He launched the arrow and grabbed the end of the rope. It had hit the dragon under the right wing.

The dragon let go of Link thirty feet in the air. Link fell down into Hyrule Castle's garden wounded. Michael climbed up the rope and onto the dragon's back. The wing's of the dragon gave him a good foothold as he drew out his sword and stabbed both of it's eyes. The dragon fell to the floor blind. Michael lifted of a scale with all his might and stabbed the weak spot. The dragon died in pain.

The soldiers and the remaining four trolls went to the Hyrule Castle field to bash down the remaining wall. The troll's climbed up the small canyon and headed straight for the castle.

Michael got off the dragon's corpse and climbed up the vack of one troll. He stabbed him harshly in the neck and brought down the troll. The other three of course saw this and got out their maces to smash Michael. Link got back up with his left arm broken so he had to weild the sword with his right hand. He stabbed a troll in the stomache with a dead soldiers spear and the troll fell on it's back in pain. He stabbed the troll in the eyes and then in the neck. The other soldiers had brought down the other two trolls but just then the enemy had bashed through the walls.

The remaining fifty soldiers were about to face over nine thousand soldiers.

"Fire at will!" yelled Michael over the screams of the citizens going into the castle.

"Which one is Will?" asked Link sarcastically.

"This is no time for jokes!" yelled Michael furious.

The goblins (they are the enemy) were firing arrows of their own killing even more soldiers.

But miraculously they had brought down over half of the enemy. There were only a handful of soldiers left. The group of men along with Michael and Link ran behind the last two defenses they had. Behind the gate and the castle walls.

Link really began to look frustrated as he was polishing his sword awaiting his and the rest of the castle's doom.

"I had always known it would end this way," said Link. "But I never thought so quickly.

"You know it isn't ending here," said Michael encouragingly. "There is a heaven and we will all go to it... someday...

Then they heard bashings on the door as the enemy came through the first defense. Link got ready his sword as he put his broken arm in a sling. The enemy bashed through the door and attacked with a barrage of arrows.

The remaining ten men including Michael and Link went behind their absolute last defense. The king's throne room door.

Michael led them all in and said that he would try to hold them off. All of a sudden there was a bright flash in the sky. The dragon of the fountain swooped down and killed many of the soldiers. He called for the men to come out as they killed all the remaining enemies. Zelda ran out from the throne room and hugged Link tight.

The fight was over... But the war had just begun.

***

There was one remaining goblin that had lived through the battle. He returned to Diatheleser and informed him that the army had been defeated by the enemy.

"What!?" yelled Diatheleser in rage. "How can this be, that was over half of my forces!!!!!!!!!! Are you that pathetic!!!!!!!!"

"Sir," said the goblin, "The... dragon defeated us sir."

"The dragon has thwarted my plans again... It will pay for this."

Link and Zelda were alone now in Zelda's room. Impa had tended to Link's wounded arm and now it was in a sling. It would heal within two weeks. Link fell onto her bed severely tired of the battle and pain he had endured. Zelda lay down beside him as the clock banged 11:00 PM. She lay her head on his chest and fell asleep...

They woke up the next morning and were invited to a major funeral for all the lives that had been lost.

"Today we remember the innocent lives that had been destroyed and all the soldiers that had died defending them," the king said. Everybody would drop something of great value to them as they walked back into the castle. Link dropped his mirror shield. The last piece of rememberance he had of the adventure he had such a hard time enduring...

Zelda came to his side as Link stared at the grave outside of the castle where all the bodies had been put to rest.

"It'll be fine Link," she said holding his hand and resting her head on his shoulder. Link closed his eyes remembering all the situations that happened on that great adventure of the past. He walked back inside holding Zelda's hand...
