"Impa! Lady Impa! Are you all right?" Link said, kneeling by her side.

Impa groaned.

"Ugh. I'm fine, Link. Just banged up a bit."

"Can you stand?"

"I...I think so."

Link held Impa's elbows as Impa held on to his and gently pulled her to her feet.

"Thank you, Link. But what about you, are you all right?"

"Besides being P.O.ed about Dark Link taking Zelda...yeah, I'm all right."

"I feared that this was to happen. Even though Ganondorf was sent to the Evil Realm, I could still feel evil still lurking."

"Saria could feel it too. I remember last night when Saria came to my house, then she started acting very strange, screaming and crying. She said she could sense a great evil."

Impa gasped.

"That was the same night Her Majesty had her prophesy...the time has come...come with me!" Impa said, grabbing Link by the wrist and leading him to her room.

Impa walked over to her dresser and pulled out one of her drawers.

"I always keep this here for save keeping."

She pulled out an object...an instrument in the color of a familiar blue.

Link gasped.

"The Ocarina of Time!"

"The time has come for the reawakening of the Master Sword. You must use this to open the Door of Time. Please take it." Impa said, holding the ocarina out to him.

Slowly and reluctantly Link took the ocarina from Impa's hands.

"Dark Link dwells in the Shadow Temple. As a Sage of that temple I shall assist you."

"How do you know that he is hiding there?"

"I recently went over there for a visit and saw him. We fought and I ended up being banged up against the wall. Then he disappeared. I thought it was just one of the ghosts that float around the temple every now and then, but my heart tells me that it really was him."

"We've no time to waste then. Come, Impa! Have the guards ready our horses. Equip yourself well, for after we stop by the Temple of Time, we head straight to the Shadow Temple!"
************************************************************
Link looked in awe as he stepped inside the Temple of Time. He walked over to the Alter of Time. The three Spiritual Stones were still floating above it, yet the Door of Time was closed.

Seven years ago he stood at this very place, to play the song that would open the Door of Time and turn his life upside down. The Kokiri Emerald, Goron Ruby, and Zora Sappire still shone with brillance even after seven years.

Impa put her hand on Link's shoulder.

"It is time, Link, Hero of Time."

Link nodded.

He put the Ocarina of Time to his lips and played the "Song of Time." Slowly the great stone Door of Time opened, revealing a room with a sword in a pedestal.

"So much memory..." Link sighed.

"I know how much of a burden it is for you, Link but..."

"No, it's not a burden. Zelda is in trouble. And not just her, Hyrule is in peril. I will do anything for Zelda and Hyrule. Even put my life on the line."

"Then go, Hero of Time. Time to awaken the Master Sword once again."

Without hesitation Link stepped up to the pedestal and gropped the hilt of the Master Sword. With a loud grunt he pulled the Master Sword from the pedestal holding it captive.

Link could feel the power within it. How he forgot the true power of the Master Sword! He stood there for a long time just staring at this mystic sword in his grasp, imagining how he would punish Dark Link for making Zelda suffer so.

"Link?"

Link put the Master Sword at his belt.

"Our next stop, The Shadow Temple and the final confrontation with Dark Link!"
