Chapter 7 The hero and his princess waited in their tent for everyone to leave. Everyone was worried not only for the army but for each other as well. Link took Zelda into his arms
“Zelda, I know that you want to fight with me but this is far too dangerous for you!”
“Link I have my magic and my Knife! I will fight by your side, as Devon said I will fight and there is nothing that you can do to stop me, and I can’t leave you to fight alone,” Zelda’s eyes lifted to meet Link’s, tears pooling in cerulean depths “I won’t leave you. Not this time. This time we fight together.”
The Queen of fairies flitted into the tent pausing before continuing to the royal couple.
“Link, hero of time, I have brought you a gift,” she unwrapped the cloth she was carrying to reveal a sword. Link recognised it at once. This sword was no ordinary sword. Its blade shone, sensing the evil in this world, the blue hilt with its bright yellow core at the centre of it, the power to repel evil shining ever brighter.
It was none other than the blade of evil’s bane. The Master Sword.
“Zelda and I kept it safe for your return,”
“My sword...” Link said with tears welling up in his eyes as he picked the sword, with a memory flying into his mind. The desert, was where the memory was set. Link was about to enter the Spirit Temple. But he was surrounded by moblins and Zelda appeared from the sky saving Link with a single Light arrow. She fired it at one and controlled it with her magic, turning her hands to turn the arrow.
“Zelda... You can fight with me...”
“I will Link and we shall win.”
--
The army advanced to the battlefield, Link and Zelda at the front of it and they saw what they were expecting, a field that had followed the same fate of all the other battlefields that dark army had has been on. The sky had darkened. The monsters were facing them from the other side.
“We will win,” Zelda reassured Link. “Charge!” the enemy commanded his army.
“Charge!” Link ordered the army, and it began. Each army charged. Link and Zelda drew their blades, and searched for their enemy. A few Goron warriors rolled ahead and the Queen of fairies flew out in front to attack the speedy wolfos which had advanced faster than the other monsters and it was claws against fists. The armies came together and battled but Link and Zelda searched for their one enemy, the one who they had to battle, Ganondorf.
“Looking for me?” asked an evil voice, Link and Zelda whirled to face the king of evil.
“This is our final battle, in which you shall die!” and with that threat he erected a barrier which prevented exit and entrance. Zelda put her blade away and got her bow and magic arrows ready, whilst Link was ready with his sword and shield and Ganondorf drew his twin blades.
Ganondorf leapt into the air, Link knew what was coming next and with a sudden roll to his left, turned and blocked Ganondorf’s sword from slicing him. Zelda fired a light arrow at Ganondorf’s back but with his second sword he blocked the arrow with a swift swipe. Knocking Link with a kick and advancing on Zelda casting a dark magic spell at her, Zelda countered with one of her own spells.
Link got up and charged Ganondorf with a rolling stab but Ganondorf leapt into the air to dodge Link’s strike. Zelda knock back a Light arrow and struck him, stunning him. Link rushed over to the falling Ganondorf and struck him with the Master Sword. Zelda saw another chance to get him and she knocked back her arrow and fired at Ganondorf. Sensing the attack, he locked Link’s blade with his two and forced him to turn and used him as a shield against the Light arrow. Zelda gasped at what Ganondorf had done but before she could even redirect the arrow it struck Link’s back electricity like energy coursed through his body, but travelling along the conducting bladse of the swords, sparking across Ganondorf's body now too. with their blades locked together the power ran through them and harmed Ganondorf as well. Zelda saw an opportunity to strike Ganondorf and she rushed over and attempted to stab Ganondorf with her knife of truth. Before Zelda could even get near Link had recovered and broke free of Ganondorf's lock and slashed him with the Master Sword causing Ganondorf (him) to fall down but before he (Link)could do anything, Ganondorf got back to his feet swung his sword to his left knocking Zelda’s knife out of her hand, and attempted (attempting) to strike Link with his right sword. Zelda’s screams of fright caused anger to build up inside of Link. He knew if he lost his temper the fight could get nasty for him. But even that didn’t stop him from striking Ganondorf in the arm and succeeding in doing so. Ganondorf's anger grew after that hit.
Zelda rushed back to retrieve her knife from where it landed gripping it tightly she remembered all those years ago when Ganondorf first attacked their world. She had been captured by him and when Link had battled him she just stood there unable to do anything, well that wasn’t going to happen in this battle! She was going to help Link defeat Ganondorf this time!
Knowing what Ganondorf would do she nocked back an arrow and whispered a prayer in hylian. She fired her arrow at the evil king once more. He anticipated this and as she let her arrow go he leapt into the air bur she sent the arrow upward, following Ganondorf, the evil king was surprised by this new attack and was stunned once again falling to the ground but lading on his feet.
“Enough of this!” roared Ganondorf raising his swords to both Link and Zelda. An orb of light was seen by Link and Zelda, heading straight for them. Fearing it was one of Ganondorf's powerful spells, it was soon upon them. The light blinded them for a moment but one moment was enough.
Once the orb had passed Link looked up, and he cried out in horror at what he saw.
“No!”
