Pounding could be heard on the smooth oak doors at dawn. Dieagoh awoke, muttering something from the previous dream.

“Sir Link! Princess Zietah wishes to speak with you!” The muffled voice of a guard could barley be heard over the noises of guests slamming their room doors.


“Ehh, com-on-pleas-lemme-sleep-five-minutes-uhh,” Link mumbled. Dieagoh realized what was going on, and jumped out of bed.


“Link, get up. Hello? GET UP!!” Dieagoh shook Link until he opened his eyes”


“Wah? Am I dead, whas goin’ on? Oh, it’s just you D,” Link panicked, and only calmed down when he realized that I was just Dieagoh.


“Hey, one of the guards came here and said that Princess Zietah wants to speak with you. If I were you I’d hurry up and get dressed so you won’t upset her. I’ve noticed that she has come quite fond of you. Come on, get dressed!” Dieagoh mentioned as he stripped and searched around the room, looking for some clean clothes.


“Alright…” Link got up and grabbed a deep red tunic, with gold lining, his hat, and changed from his night cloths, to the tunic. He put on his brown boots, and grabbed his weapons, “okay, I’ll see you later D!”


Link headed off towards the Princess’ Quarters. He thought to himself about the dream he had had last night. Did it have to do with future? Maybe his dream was warning him about the future, and to stay away from some untruthful friends?


*Links Dream*


*Where am I? This doesn’t look like Hyrule, but I have this strange feeling that this is Hyrule, but it certainly doesn’t look like it,* Link thought, as he looked around the now destroyed country.


The dirt was blood soaked, and a deep red mist hung over the land. Nothing was left living. Nothing. There were dead trees, here and there. Bodies of Hylians, Zora’s, Kokiries were littered everywhere. Every few steps you encountered a body. They were blood covered, just like everything else. Link had a feeling that the only reason why Hyrule was left in ruins, and that no one was left alive, was because of Ganondorf. One he had thought those ugly words *that no one was left alive,* he immediately thought of Princess Zelda. Was she okay? Was she slaughtered just like the rest? Link had no idea. But, all his concern was for Zelda, not one thought went towards Princess Zietah.


Link stepped over the bodies of the dead, searching for something. He wasn’t sure what he was looking for, but he knew he had to find it. It was somewhere close by; he could feel it in his blood. He could feel it right down to the core of his bones. But where was it? Something could be seen through the thick fog, silhouettes of people fighting. He could hear them talking, but he wasn’t sure of who it was.


“Ganondorf! Come here and fight me like a man! No magic. Fight me with out using the easy way out you pathetic coward!!” The voice of the man yelling sounded much like him, was he going to be the one to try and kill off Ganondorf? *I have to warn him, he has to know that it is me, Link, who is able to kill Ganondorf, not him,* Link thought, rushing towards the two.


Link gasped as he saw them fighting, It was the Evil Ganondorf. And, the one who was fighting for his life to save Hyrule was Link. But, how could Link be there and here at the same time? He ran up to them with a surprised and confused look on his face. They took no notice that another Link came up to them. They fought like true enemies. Link noticed that the other Link was much stronger, and quicker. Could this possibly be him from the future? Could he see into the future, was he a Seer? *This must be a dream! But, now that I realize it, how come I am not waking up?* Link thought as he dived into the battle. Ganondorf was charging at him with a look of pure hatred. Link unsheathed his sword and got into a battle position. As the Evil Ganondorf neared Link, they both raised their swords. But, The Evil One was too fast for him, and right before Link was about to strike, Ganondorf went through him. As if Link was a ghost. Link twisted around just in time to watch them clang their swords together. The Future Link pushed Ganondorf’s sword away with an un-natural burst of energy.


“Link, meet Zor’roc! My sword was forged in the endless pits of Hell! He was created with the fangs of the strongest demon. He cannot be defeated!” Ganondorf screamed as he threw his sword against Links. The blow was too powerful for him and it sent him crashing down to the blood soaked dirt. Ganondorf glided over and hovered above Link. He lifted up his sword and held it above Link’s stomach.


“Meet your doom!” He screamed and plunged Zor’roc into Links gut. Blood squirted from the wound, and Link gasped in pain. He struggled to contain consciousness. “You know, I would just kill you off now, make it easy. But this is better! To watch you in pain as you die slowly!” He glided away laughing, but he still was in range of Link.


“Link! Link!” Screamed a girl as she raced through the mist and fell to her knees at Links side. “Link, please be okay! Link…”


“Z-Zelda. Go… please… he… he… is still…h-here. Save… yourself. GO!” Link gasped as he clutched his wound.


“Link, I will not leave you! Link! Please, hang in there, don’t die on me!” Zelda cried and carefully removed his hands to look at the wound. Once she saw it she sobbed even harder. “Oh my gosh, Link.”


“Zelda, t-take… care… of your… self. I-I… love…” Link couldn’t finish his sentence as he gave his last raspy breath, and died. The fate of Hyrule has been turned over to Ganondorf. Hyrule has no chance, now that its hero has died.


“Link! NO!! LINK! Link, I love you! I love you Link!!” Zelda screamed and collapsed on his lifeless body. Ganondorf was watching with an amusing look on his face. He lifted up Zor’roc and quietly glided over to the sobbing princess. He stopped behind her and lifted Zor’roc up.


“DIE!” he yelled and lifted Zor’roc completely over his head. Zelda turned around and screamed as the sword crashed down towards her.


“Princess! NOOOOO!” Link screamed as he watched what would happen to him in the future. He watched Zelda’s lifeless body fall on the future, dead, Link. He silently cried for her, as his dream faded out.


*End of Links dream.*


Link shuddered as he remembered his dream. He has basically said that he loved Princess Zelda. She had said that she had loved him. He had failed Hyrule, he had died by the hands of Ganondorf, and so had Princess Zelda. *Is this really going to happen to Hyrule? Am I going to fail? Wow, I really need to talk to someone about this,* Link thought as he closed in on Princess Zietahs door. He knocked softly and wasn’t sure is she heard him, but he didn’t care. Link was about to leave when the door opened.


“Link, its you! Please, come on in!” The Princess said cheerfully. He obeyed, and entered her room.
