The bell rang loudly signaling for the dismissal. They rushed out, most smiling broadly while others were indifferent to it. Hyrule City was beautiful beyond words. There was a vast forest of trees and a beautiful ocean that glimmered like an emerald in the sun. Though there were many buildings it wasn't overcrowding, they were set among each other organized and proportioned evenly together. Many tourist joked of it being a Kingdom because of its richness.
After school the students all usually went to the Tri-Cafe, where a variety of snack food were accessible for test tasting.
He stood behind the counter staring out the window directly facing the ocean. He could stare at it forever but at the moment he wasn't at liberty to look about when he was working. It was the only way to make ends meet since he lived alone. He was orphaned at a young age and fended for himself since.
"Excuse me can I have a Cafe Latte?"
He snapped out of his reverie and looked back to see who was ordering. His breath caught in his throat as he locked eyes with one of the most beautiful girls at Hyrule City Highschool.
She smiled and snapped her fingers. "Are you okay?"
He turned quickly hiding his face that was burning in embarassment. He filled up a cup with her order and brought it to her.
They stared at each other for a minute.
"So how much?" She asked giggling at his inability to function.
"Oh i'm sorry. It's on the house."
"Thanx," She stared at his name tag. "Link." And walked out of the store.
He burried his head in his hands and laughed to himself.
"Your welcome Zelda...." He muttered belatedly.
"What are you doing Link?"
Link spun as soon as he recognized the voice.
"Hey Malon."
She crossed her arms over her chest and stared at him.
He scratched his head and looked at the time, still a few hours till he was able to leave.
"I'm working."
She sighed "You can't keep giving drinks for free."
"I know but did you see who that was?" He stared out the window as she disappeared in the distance.
Malon sighed in retreat and threw her hands up while secretly thinking "You don't look at me like that."
He smiled and wandered into the kitchen to start cleaning up.
"If he were any happier he'd grow wings and fly, like a fairy..." She mumbled and followed behind yelling "Okay fairy boy time for some real work."

She sauntered away sipping her Latte; not even daring to look back, she could feel his eyes on her and so continued to walk. She could sense something from him, something strong and of great importance like herself. Although she wasn't quite sure what that was yet, since her dreams have recently become more chaotic and difficult to understand.
Since she was a child she'd had a way of percieving the future and peoples feelings, a gift she freely used in return for a good deed done. She had enough money because of her father's wealth and didn't se fit to except such a gift anyway. Most of her peers shied away from her because of her gift and her appearance though they all say they think she is generally a friendly person. Just most thought her personality made her look seem pecuilar.Her eyeshadow and lipstick usually matched her clothes that consisted of cyrulean-blue, green, pink, and white, all with black netting, a mini skirt, knee length tights andd big clunky shoes. She was envied by many, admired by most, and copied by some. Though her style a bit unique she was still considered among one of the most beautiful girls in Hyrule City and without doubt most gentle and sweet.
Zelda paused for a moment looking into the sky, it darkened and the clouds swarmed in. Thunder could be heard in the distance, her hair flew up around her as the wind blew past her. Then as in her dreams cleared up instantly but no one seemed to notice.
"Hey what are you doing?" A voice whispered into her ear that made her hair stand on end.
She turned quickly losing grip of her cup.
It fell in a quick splash.
"Sorry."
"Ganon!" She cried out in surprise. "You scared me."
He laughed and gave her a playful nudge.
She never had a reason to be wary or even scared by Ganon but for some odd reason, she was. She recalled the quick storm and then his sudden arrival.
"I have to get to the library Ganon." She tried to cut past him as he blocked the way.
"I'll walk you there."
She shook her head as she tried to think of an excuse.
"I can't walk with you Ganon."As she ran around him.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her back, his face mirroring a sky when it was storming with fury.
She winced as he tightened his grip and curled his lips in a mock smile.
"Why..W-why...." He stammered trying to keep his temper in check and continued, "Why....NOT!?" He yelled the last word.
"Ganon, your hurting me." She said as calmy as she could.
He dropped her arm immediately as if she'd burned it.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean..." He looked lost in his thoughts.
She backed away in the direction of her house changing her mind for the moment about going to the library.
Ganon was constantly hitting on her, never once did she accept his proposals for a date, and never once had he reacted to her refusal for an escort the way he did today.
His aura had transformed completely and she had a feeling it would only get worse from there.
"ZELDA!"
She turned but he was gone from sight.


...She arrived home to find an empty house. Her father was probably still at the office planning new buildings to make this place even more stunning.
In the kitchen was a note on top of what looked like tupperware full of food. The note only stated what she had thought happened.
After heating it up she brought it to the sitting room and watched the news, and before realizing it fell quickly to sleep.
All around her was a thick mist of debris. The only noticible light was coming from the top of her hand in the shapes of three adjacent triangles.
There was a slight smell in the air. A rotted ever growing smell. She felt as if she were being swallowed up by it and the evil that seemed to lurk beyond the mist.
Then the mist began to clear away to reveal a castle in the distance. In one of the windows stood a dark figure whose face was hidden in the dark. Then lightening flashed followed by thunder as the figure disappeared.
She awoke with a start, drenched in sweat.
"Something bad is coming..."

Finally it was closing time and Link couldnt be anymore tired. It had been a long busy day and he still had alot of homework to do when he got home.
"Hey Malon are you done so I can walk you home?"
She ran through the door and grabbed him by the arm, rushing out the door.
The moon was full and high in the sky, out-shining the stars.
Link stared at his feet with his hands in his pockets.
Malon gave him a few side glances wondering if he was thinking about 'HER'.
"Link, I was wondering something."
He looked up at her and she felt her heartbeat get fast.
They stopped at her door and he stood there waiting for her to talk.
She leaned over and said "Goodnight and nevermind my question. It's nothing." She walked into her house a tear rolling down her cheek in frustration that she'd lost her nerve.
Link stared after curious at what had just occurred.
"Women."
He walked off letting his mind wander for a bit not really paying any attention to where he was going until he was on his back on the ground.
"Hey Link watch where your going."
Link dusted himself off as he got a look at who'd knocked him to the floor.
"Why are you out so late Ganon?"
"I was going to see a man about a horse."
Link knew that usually meant he was going to harass some girl to go on a date with him.
"Good luck with that Ganon." He started to walk away.
"Come with me buddy."
Link sighed heavily and knew it would be a long night.
They walked into the wealthiest area of Hyrule though all of Hyrule looked rich.
"Who is the 'lucky' lady?"
Ganon smiled to himself imagining the look on her face when he asked her to the annual dance festival.
"No one special."
Link looked at him suspiciously, noticing that his behavior lately had been rapidly changing.
He'd been lashing out alot for things so small that people had to watch their p's and q's now around him. So it was better he went with him just in case.
They finally arrived at the house, which looked to be the most extravagant in hyrule.
"This is where she lives?"
Ganon ignored him and and rang the bell repeatedly as he waited impatiently for an answer.
"It's kind of late."
Ganon's eyes lit up when he heard her voice.
"Let me in I need to ask you something."
"Ganon?"She sounded surprised. "I'll come to the gate."
He paced back and forth while Link stared in shock at the girl Ganon had disturbed.
Her eyes met his for a moment then focused on Ganon.
"What is it Ganon?" She stood a bit far from the gate but kept her sweet demeanor.
"Zelda, I would like to escort you to the Dance."
She bit down on her lip and shifted her weight from left to right contemplating her answer, not wanting to say no immediately.
Ganon stared without once breaking eye contact. Sensing her hesitation he looked to Link for assistance.
"We can all go together as a group thing. I can bring my friend Malon, then there'd be four of us." Link splurted out.
She looked away from Ganon to smile at Link.
"That sounds okay. So pick me up at 6 o'clock."
Ganon kept his cool and waved goodbye after agreeing with the terms.
"Great idea buddy" He clapped down hard on Links shoulder.
"Well i'm going to go get some shut eye. We have a big day coming." he sauntered off happily.
Link shook his head and looked back at Zelda's house. In the moonlight she looked so beautiful and it seemed so familiar.
Atleast he'd saved her from having to deal with Ganon if she'd said no.
"In a way I was a Hero but not really..." He said aloud and laughed. He knew it was going to be an interesting dance.
He arrived at his apartment and called Malon before he forgot.
"Hey Malon."
"Link? What's up?"
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance festival with me and two other people."
She was smiling on the other end, allowing a few seconds to pass before she said yes. "Wow. Yes I'd love to."
"Great. I'll pick you up a quarter to 6."
"Okay. Goodnight Link" She floated to her bed.
"Night Malon." He hung up.
He turned on the television and lay in his bed waiting for sleep to come. His last thoughts were of Zelda before he drifted into a sound sleep.

Ganon almost had the urge to skip happily home but resisted. He couldn't believe he was going on a date with one of the most beautiful girls in hyrule. For a moment he'd thought she was going to say no and he knew he'd be mad. Lately he'd been unable to keep his emotions in check. It was a struggle nowadays to keep cool, even for the smallest things. As much as he turned it about in his head he couldn't figure it out why, he could only try and stay calm and collected. But he wasn't sure how long he was going to be able to keep it under wraps.
His dreams were becoming dark and violent as was his personality. They were filled with faraway lands and fantasy creatures that changed suddenly into dark and powerful beings that knew no boundaries between good and evil. He'd wake up in a rage and tear apart his room as if looking for something hidden.
This dramatic change came right after he found a golden triangle at the bottom of one of the lakes. He hides it from everyone, it makes him feel very powerful for some reason, and he doesn't ever want to lose that feeling no matter what.
He arrived at his house and stared at how dark it looked.
"Hope i'm not in trouble."
He walked into his house and was surprised to find his mother waiting up for him.
"Do you see how late it is?" She stood up and walked toward him.
He just stared at her blankly.
"What is wrong with you?" She grabbed him by his shirt and shook him as if in a panic.
"Get off of me." He said as he pushed her hands away.
She looked shocked for a second then grabbed him again and started the shaking again.
He seemed to growl a bit under his breathe as he struck her down as hard as he could.
She lay on the floor screaming as she held her face.
His father came rushing down the stairs.
"What's going on here?" He took one look at his wife and knew what might have occurred. "You get to your room and stay there!"
Ganon smirked and slowly made his way to his room.
When he shut the door, what happened downstairs just hit him.
"What did I just do?" He leaned against the door unsure of how to react to it. For some reason it didn't bother him too much, he kind of enjoyed it.
"What is wrong with me?"
He punched his wall in until his knuckles were raw and bloody. Then he sat on his bed and held the gold triangle and stared at himself in the mirror, noticing how his looks were suddenly diminishing and changing. To what he didn't know.
He lay down and was met immediately with one of his dreams.
He was in a dark castle and was slowly approaching the room that always seemed to call to him. He could hear rain and thunder coming from the open window leading to the balcony in the room. He entered but could see nothing but pitch black and the occasional strike of lightining that lit the room up momentarily. He stood still when a huge dark shadow came from behind and stood on the balcony, only the outlines of his body could be seen.
"Hello?"
"Power..." It whispered.
"What?" Ganon approached the figure.
"POWER!" Thats when lightning lit up the sky and a scream escaped Ganon's lips as he stared at this green menacing creature that had a strange resemblance to him.
He stirred but did not wake as he breathed out "Power..."

(working on right now) She awoke early in the morning, overly excited and hyper. It was time to see if she needed to run to the Hylian Mall for her outfit. As she rummaged through her closet, it dawned on her that she might have to reveal her true feelings for Link tonight when he walked her to her door. She stopped for a moment wondering if she should then continued but to no success.
"Time to go shopping."
She grabbed her purse and walked to the mall that only happened to be two blocks away.
She searched almost all the stores she didnt realize it was already getting late.
"One last store. Pretty Pretty Princess..." She read the title outloud and laughed. "I want to be a princess...."
She grabbed a few items and took them into the changing room. She stumbled on a pair of jeans she was holding and bumped right into someone else changing their clothes.
"Oh sorry.." Malon stuttered then recognized who she'd bumped into.
"Zelda?"
Zelda looked over and smiled though she didn't know Malon at first sight.
"Hi. Your?"
Malon sighed and said, "I'm Malon we have a few classes together."
Zelda's eyes widened in recognition. "Malon...So your the one who'll be part of the group tonight."

"Group? What group?"
Zelda furrowed her brows and said "Link didn't tell you? Tonight it'll be me, you, Link, and Ganon. Link saved me from having to refuse Ganon last night. He just appeared out of no where late at night and luckily Link was with....him..Are you okay?" She stopped talking when she noticed Malon's face suddenly fall as if told really heart-breaking news.
"Nothing. Nothing at all. I'll see you tonight." Malon grabbed whatever was closest and purchased it without a second thought and slowly made her way home. It was a luxury to be able to buy nice things since she only had herself and her father to pay for things. And now when she buys the one thing to impress link she finds out it's for nothing. he had no intentions of paying her any mind, not the way she wanted him to that is.
She remembered the first time they met. He'd seemed to come out of the air. He had no parents and was living on his own yet he seemed content. They'd hit it off immediately when she worked around his loner persona. Then Zelda made it into the picture and cupid had hit its target, the wrong one, but still fired and scored. So she stayed his close friend awaiting the day he would realize what he had in front of him rather than chasing a dream.
When she got home she became curious as to what she bought. She pulled out a very sexy outfit that surprised her and a little gleam of hope was sparked.
"I might just get you yet Fairy Boy."
The door bell rang and she knew she was dressed to impress.
She opened the door to find link smiling broadly.
"Wow you look great Malon." He said after he let loose a loud and long whistle of approval.
She smiled from ear to ear. "Shall we be on our way?"
"Yes milady but first we must go pick up Lady Zelda and Ganon who is probably at her house already."
Her smile disappeared for a second then returned before he could notice, as they made their way to her rivals house.

(Working On Now)Zelda examined herslef in the mirror and was satisfied though she wasn't one for vanity. The bell rung and she looked through her window to find Ganon by himself pacing outside the gate.
She sighed heavily and knew she'd have to wait with him.

...Link looked at his watch often as they walked over to meet the other two people of their group. he knew Ganon had probably reached the house by now.
"Why do you look so worried Link?" Malon asked noticing his apprehensive expression.
"I'm not. I guess i'm a bit nervous with Ganon waiting with Zelda. He's been acting strangely for awhile now or haven't you noticed?"
Malon had heard that from several people, but had yet to witness his behavior. She shook her head in response.
"I just hope tonight goes smoothly."
Malon only hoped that he'd finally notice her.

...Ganon walked back and forth looking up at her window frequently. He began imagining scenarios, like her sending her butler out to tell him she was sick, or sending him to come up and see her house then her room. He was so deep in thought he didn't hear the gate open then close.
"You look great Ganon."
He jumped and was snapped out of his revere.
"You look way beyond beautiful." He said staring at her.
She shifted her weight from leg to leg uncomfortable with his open admiration, or was it obsessive admiration.
Ganon kept his stare ignoring the fact that she was uncomfortable. From the distance laughing could be heard.
Zelda turned quickly happily anticipating Link and his friend’s company.
Their eyes met and held till they were standing right in front of each other.
Ganon watched them wondering what that was all about.
“You look out of this world.” Link said not breaking his gaze.
Zelda smiled and turned her attention to Malon.
“You look so pretty Malon.”
Malon nodded “We all do.” They all laughed and started their walk to the festival.
Ganon attempted to hold a conversation with Zelda while Link hung back to watch with Malon in tow.
“Did you know that Hyrule was a kingdom once?”
Zelda looked up at him, seemingly interested in where this was going to go.
“I’ve heard things but no one’s ever proven this theory.”
Ganon glanced behind them then continued in a whisper. “I heard that too but I also heard that the only proof that they have is this golden triangle that they keep in a vault in the museum. From what they understand it was a symbol of great power, they believe there are two other pieces, one for wisdom, and the other courage.”
Link had been trying to keep up in order to eavesdrop on the subject that looked as if it sparked Zelda’s interest.
“There are also rumors of a princess and her hero and the tyrant they over-powered time and time again.” Malon added.
They all looked at her.
“I was at the museum a few weeks ago looking in the ancient times part of it when I over heard some of the employees discussing translating a language or writing called ‘Hylian’. They’d only been able to translate a part of the story on this stone with three adjacent triangles. They said there was a golden age where peace and prosperity went hand in hand, mystical beings of all levels and class. The kingdom of Hyrule was beautiful, and ruled by a very kind King and his daughter, the future queen, whose beauty surpassed them all but she wasn’t just a pretty face. She had the power of wisdom and could fortell things that were and things that may pass. With a princess there is always a prince or hero who’d have to stand up to any evil that came. He held the power of courage and was always at the kingdom to lend a hand when needed. And last was the Tyrant the most evil in the land of Hyrule. He held the power of Power and was not taken lightly.” She broke it off to take a quick breath. “It says that the sky grew dark and he attacked the kingdom with no mercy. Many died during this war. The goddesses, the ones who apparently created this world, decided that they could no longer watch this horrific display of chaos and death. Did something and now there’s no kingdom.” She finished.
“That’s all you got?” Ganon asked.
“They only got that far. Maybe they’ll write a book about it.”
Zelda kept quiet wondering why that story was bothering her so much.
Link watched Zelda’s strange reaction to the story.
Music could be heard and they knew they had finally arrived.
The festival had been set up on the football field and came to look beautiful, it had a medieval look to it though almost everyone had dressed down.
Ganon pulled Zelda on to the dance floor as they began the music, waltz with a hip hop twist to it.
Link watched them not really proud of his own dancing skill.
Malon tried to cut through the people dancing as she made her way to the drink table.
Link went to follow and Zelda caught his eye.
“Can I cut in?”
Ganon turned to find Link standing there hand out waiting for an answer.
Zelda took his hand in hers and slowly helped him to make their way far from Ganon.
“I don’t really know how to do this.”
Zelda smiled and had him watch her feet first as she tried to teach him the basics of the new waltz.
Ganon stood on the side waiting for them to come over. Fifteen minutes, thrity minutes, two hours came to pass and they were still on the dance floor laughing and talking. Ganon’s flaming red hair looked its reddest as he made his way toward them.
Malon followed closely behind anticipating a horrible scene.
Link and Zelda were so entranced by each other they didn’t notice that ganon was shoving his way through the crowd.
They broke away from the dance floor and rushed over to the bleachers to take a break. Zelda climbed the bleachers till she was at the last step, and stared up at the moon.
“Do you think that story is true?” She asked as he sat down beside her.
“It’s possible. But then where’s this Kingdom and all the Mystical beings?”
“Maybe they’re hiding.”
Link considered it for a second and looked over at her. “What’s wrong?”
She looked scared. He followed the direction she was looking and jumped up as Ganon roughly grabbed him.
“Wasn’t enough you had your own date you got to have mine too!”
Zelda jumped up in surprise as he lifted Link off his feet attempted to dangle him over the fence to the bleachers.
“We came as a group of friends Ganon!” She fell back as he made a grab for her.
The full moons light shone on him and her eyes widened as his skin had taken on a greenish tinge and his eye brows had thickened.
Malon stopped in her tracks as she watched him fling Link over the fence.
“No!” She screamed.
Zelda leaped up and took a look over the fence catching her scream in her throat and letting it die there. She sighed in relief as she saw link climb up after obviously grabbing hold of the gate as he fell.
A hand shot out and grabbed her from behind.
“You are mine!” he growled as she was lifted over his shoulders and ran quickly down the bleachers and out of sight as he exited the festival.
Malon stood there in shock.
“Malon!”
She looked up and watched as Link descended the steps and stood in front of her.
“Your okay!”She reached over to hug him but he stopped her.
“Malon where is he? And where is Zelda?”
She pointed and stared after him as he ran.

Zelda and Malon in Style

Zelda looked around and felt enormous pressure in her temple as she tried to recall how she got here in Ganon’s bedroom.
She’d probably attempted to fight him off and lost.
He was pacing his room, but he no longer had a human appearance. His true form had finally been revealed and memories of his dreams this past week made him remember that he was the thing in the shadows of that castle. He was the Ultimate evil, and he wanted his power back.
“Who am I?” He asked quietly and looked at Zelda.
She flinched as he lumbered toward her and got down to his knees to stare her in the face.
She tried to look away but he pulled her face toward his.
“Who am I?”
“Evil.” She answered.
“Yes. I am.” He let go of her face and began to laugh.


…Link was running as fast as possible and could think of the only place Ganon would go to hide. He saw the light on in Ganons’ room and scaled the trellis next to his window.
He could hear Ganon laughing but dare not look until he was sure Zelda was there.
“I feel like I am missing something…something that will restore my former self and then…get rid of Link and everyone else that stands in my way. Even you Zelda…especially you…” he stared right through her and then left the room.
Link clambered over the window sill and quietly crawled over to Zelda.
Zelda rushed over to him as soon as they’d made eye contact.
“Are you okay?” He asked as he looked her over.
“I’m fine…now.” She said watching him worry over her.
He grabbed her and pulled her up with him and helped her out the window, he followed as she touched the ground.
They began to run off when Zelda suddenly stopped and turned back.
“Hey what are you doing?” Link called after her and caught up.
“We have to go to the museum.”
“Why?” He asked as they ran.
“That story struck something in me I don’t know what but we have to find that triangle. I have a feeling that that has the answers we need.”
It was very late and the museum had already locked up.
“Let’s meet at sunrise at Hyrule Park. Maybe we can talk to some historians that know about the triangle.” She leaned over and placed a small kiss on his cheek then ran off leaving Link staring after her.


…Ganon broke everything in his room as his eyes glared in anger at the spot Zelda had been sitting in. He’d walked out to get some tape and came back to find her gone and it made him angry beyond any other feeling he felt.
“Ganon is that you?” his father called from the first floor.
Ganon stomped down the stairs.
His mother cowered in fear and stood behind his father.
“Who am I?” he asked as calmly as possible.
“Your our son Ganon.”
“WHO AM I!” He bellowed and was face to face with his father whom he now towered over.
His father and mother backed away in fear and shock.
“We adopted you as a baby. No one knows where you came from. The ones who did are dead now.”
They stared in awe as he transformed again. His hair a flaming-red , and thicker, his skin taking on a green tinge and getting darker. His whole presence in that house had drastically changed within moments.
“You two are nothing. You are beneath me.” His voice, now deeper and menacing, took on a tone of detachment.
“Ganon, please we love you.” His mother pleaded as tears rolled down her cheeks.
He grimaced as those words left her mouth.
“You don’t exist to me. You never did.” A spark shot out of his hand as he pointed it at them, smiling with genuine pleasure as they succumbed to the surge of power that left his body and hit them.


…Link looked at the time and rushed into the shower so he could meet up with Zelda. He saw his answering machine had one message unheard as he passed it to get dressed. And looked out the window, the sun was beginning to come up he hurried to dress and ran out the door forgetting to listen to the message.


…Zelda paced back and forth in the park watching as the sun came up. Her mind wandered to her dream last night after she had ran home. ‘The sky was blue as blue as the ocean and the sun was shining brightly on a beautiful kingdom. There was a village full of little cottages and miscellaneous stores. Behind that village stood a beautiful castle with three triangles embedded in the stone. She was now inside the castle wandering around freely. She passed guards who couldn’t see her, though they seemed to be on alert. She walked through the long halls until she came to a door that was slightly ajar. A cold breeze hit her and so she entered. It was a beautiful bedroom, with a huge terrace overlooking the Kingdom. As she approached it, the sky became dark with clouds and thunder stirred in the sky as lightning flashed and lit the now dark room. She stopped as she saw the silhouette of someone by the window.
“Hello?”
Only thunder answered.
“Excuse me. Who are you?”
“You.” It answered.
She took a step back as she recognized the voice, it mirrored her own.
“I am you.” It echoed through out the room.
Zelda walked toward the window again.
“Stop. He’s coming for me.”
Zelda froze as her own voice sent chills down her spine.
“Who is?”
Lightning flashed again it lit up the whole sky and Zelda fell down in surprise as a shadow entered the room next to her other self.
“Ganon?!” She cried out.
He looked at her then unsheathed his sword and plunged it into her other self.
She watched in horror as he pulled it back out then with the swish of his cape was gone.
“Find the Triforce. It consists of three pieces. Don’t let Ganon get them.” With that said she collapsed.
Zelda had woken up in a cold sweat, her dream increasing her need to find out what was going on.


…Link could see Zelda in the distance and ran the rest of the way.
“Hey sorry I kept you waiting.” He said.
“It’s okay. Let’s go eat something then head over to the museum.”
They walked to a twenty-four hour café close by and decided on having blueberry muffins and orange juice.
As they waited Zelda told Link about her dream.
Link listened and when she was done, sat there thinking to himself and wondering what was going on.
“Do you remember what Malon said last night, when she was telling us that story?”
“Which part?” She asked.
“The part where she said that the Princess could tell the future, maybe you have a gift like the princess did.”
Zelda nodded in agreement.
"They could be our ancestors. Maybe each of us have a role to play in this. I guess we know who Ganon is."
They picked at their blueberry muffins both deep in thought hoping to get some answers today.
Link paid for the check and they were on their way.
They entered the huge museum and were surprised to find people there aleady.
"Here we go." Link said as they headed toward the employee lounge.
Zelda looked around nervously, a little scared of what may come to be after they learn the truth.
Link grabbed her hand and gave it a little squeeze.
They looked at each other and then ahead to find malon was also there.
Malon glanced at their hands but quickly looked back up.
"Hey Malon. I'm sorry about last night it was kind of crazy."
"It's okay. Well i'll see you around." She hurried off.
Zelda watched her walk away. "Is she your...?"
Link laughed. "No she's a real good friend."
Zelda smiled but said nothing.
Something gleamed and caught her attention.
She turned to look and was shocked.
"Link!"She exclaimed and ran.
He followed and stopped.
"Wow."
There in front of them was a gleaming golden triangle in a new display room with stones lining the walls, full of inscriptions they couldn't understand.
They felt like magnets to the new display.
Zelda put her hand to the glass surrounding the treasure. She could feel a hint of something coming from it. Flashes of old memories from another lifetime ran quickly through her mind though she was unable to grab a hold of any of it.
“Miss please don’t touch the glass.”
Zelda turned quickly to find one of the employees shaking their head in disapproval.
“I’m sorry. I just…” Zelda began apologizing.
“We were all like glue to it when we discovered it.” He sauntered over awaiting some type of praise.
Link stood next to Zelda as the man went on.
“It was in a dream I had. Telling me to dig. I went and scouted out the place where I was told and out came that triangle we called it at first. Now we know better. It is the Triforce of Power. The name itself leads us to believe there are two other pieces out there somewhere.” He put his hand to the glass, and stared at his prize find.
Zelda gave Link a look of bewilderment then attempted to find the right question to ask.
Link spoke for her. “So do you know its origin?”
The guy turned slowly, his eyes beaming.
“Please join me for brunch?”
“One moment please.” Zelda said politely and pulled Link to the side. “We should talk with him. Maybe he knows something that would help us.”
Link gave him a side long glance unsure if this guy knew more than he was letting on.
“Alright, if you think he knows something.” He said reluctantly.
“We would love to join you for brunch.” Zelda answered graciously.
“My name is Agahnim.”
“I’m Link and this is Zelda.”
Agahnim paused at her name for an instant but then began to lead them to the cafeteria.
…Malon watched them walk away with the scientist. She wondered what Zelda was doing there when she left him a message to come meet her there alone. He never arrived so she snuck into the museum by herself. She’d looked around hoping to see early bird scientists when she noticed the new display, and could only stand there in awe till voices coming from behind neared.
“I finished translating those stones. For some reason it was easier than I thought since we had no record of anything on that stone happening. I don’t know whether to believe it or not.”
“Of course it is true.” Voiced one of the other scientists.
“Professor Agahnim, I value your work on this project. But you must stay optimistic. I know you’ve been having recurring dreams; some of them are too weird to mention. It has no relevance; it just means that you have been working too hard.”
He stood still and allowed the other scientists to walk off.
“The time will come soon when you realize my part in this play.” He laughed and looked directly at the Triforce. “He’s coming for you soon.”
Malon felt the chills still; she had thought he was staring at her as she hid behind the display. But was relieved that he’d only been staring at the Triforce.
“Who are you waiting for?” She asked aloud as he feel back in with the group and they started another discussion.
Soon the museum had opened and all she had done was almost get caught.
“Time to go get Link.” She’d said to herself before she caught sight of them holding hands.
After the little greeting she looked at her watch and noticed she hadn’t even opened the café yet, and ran off.
“I’ll be back.”


…Ganon stood in front what was left of his house after he’d burned it to the ground. No feelings of guilt, he had no feelings at all. It had burned down so quick no one had even took notice until the absence of the house was noticed by the neighbor.
He walked off in the direction of the museum whistling cheerfully.


…Link consumed his food very quickly as to get to the point of the brunch. While Zelda gingerly picked at her food and Agahnim cut his Salisbury steak into tiny pieces and then ate it bit by bit.
He put down his fork and stared at both of them.
They stared back expectantly.
“My colleague finished the translation of the stones you saw.” He stated as he sipped the last of his coffee. He continued, “Very interesting story. It’s tells of a Hylian Princess and her Hero. Through the years their descendants always end up meeting whenever the kingdom of Hyrule was in danger. He was always victorious this hero. But then his luck ran out. The Princess was killed in the tower after the evil they had fought for many centuries came to collect the triforce of wisdom from her, next came the hero who wanted to avenge the death of his princess but he too succumbed under this evil whose power had increased. His name was Ganondorf. ”
Link stood up in surprise. “Are you sure?”
“Yes. My colleague is quite efficient when it comes to translations. Anyway, the goddesses watched as this tyrant darkened Hyrule and so they intervened. They decided that this was not meant to be and so froze time and took all the souls in Hyrule and reincarnated them into human form erasing their memory till the day Ganondorf would again arise and with him the hero and princess to wage the war he’d started so many years ago.”
“You’re telling us we don’t look like this?” Link asked incredulously.
He nodded. “Well most of us had severe changes while those of hylian blood did not take on much of a change as others did. There were many varieties of classes. Though we are unsure of what any looked like.”
He was studying their reactions; he had regained bits and pieces of his memory enough to know they were enemies of his.
“Everyone in town has a part to play. In time we all will remember and then take sides.”
Zelda looked at him sensing he knew what side he was meant to take.
Link walked away trying to take it all in.
Zelda followed after him after thanking Agahnim for his time.
“Link what is it?”
He turned to look at her and took her hand.
“I hope we’re on the right side together.”
She looked down and smiled.
“I have a feeling we are.” She squeezed his hand.
A crash came from above and link instinctively shielded her with his body as they fell to the ground.
Fog filled the museum as the debris settled. And nothing could be seen but a dark towering shadow.
Link stood up quickly and pulled Zelda up with him.
It finally cleared to reveal Ganon, though he had aged and was at last in the final stage of transformation, he was now Ganondorf with no recollection of his new life.
“Ganon what are you doing?!”Zelda cried out from behind Link.
“Don’t refer to me as Ganon but to Ganondorf I will answer. You look different princess. Your alive.” He stared at them eyes now a gleaming red.
Zelda felt as if a lock in her mind had been opened with a key and with it some of her old memories.
She stepped in front of Link and put up her shield as Ganondorf raised his arm and let loose a spark of his dark power he had gained back.
Link was taken aback by this sudden power from her.
“I never understood how you were raised but I can take a few guesses.” She shot a glance at Agahnim. “But then who raised you Agahnim.”
Agahnim floated by her and went to stand by Ganondorf’s side.
“In time you’ll find all the answers but right now we have something that belongs to his majesty.” Agahnim answered as he unlocked the case holding the triforce.
Link and Zelda ran over to stop him from taking it when they were hit by a blast of energy and sent flying.
Link went into the wall with Zelda right beside him.
Ganondorf grabbed hold of the triforce of power and felt a surge go through him.
“Let us raise my castle now.” He floated up with Agahnim to his left as they escaped through the gaping hole in the ceiling.
Zelda watched as they disappeared and then everything went black.

It was dark and foggy; she could only hear grunts from someone in the distance. She put out her hand as she walked forward as not to walk into a wall. As she got closer to the noise the fog was less dense. Instinctively she didn’t call out as she kept walking listening closely to her surroundings.
Finally there was a clearing. She could see that the sky was thick in fog and she was surrounded by darkness on a desolate wasteland. She wandered about, looking for any sign of someone. There was a tower, or what was left of it in shambles, dust floating as if still settling from just being demolished. She finally noticed that she was wearing gloves and a gown with the Triforce symbol on it. Her ears felt weird. She ran over to the sewage looking water and gasped at her reflection.
She touched her face and her new pointy ears. It wasn’t that drastic just some of her features were altered.
She jumps up when the grunt sounded by her ear.
She almost fell into the water when she caught sight of where the grunts had come from.
It was Link he’d also been altered in some features and he was wearing a red tunic and hat, white pants and brown boots. He was battling a huge green creature.
“Princess Zelda!” He cried out to her as his sword bounced off the monster.
She ran off confused and scared.
Suddenly she was lying in a bed with sheer curtains concealing her. She sat up quickly to find that the room only contained this bed surrounded by stairs.
“Hello?”
The door to the room suddenly opened and in came Link. He was again different in appearance but he was wearing a green tunic and brown pants.
“Link?”
He stared at her and fell to his knees.
“I was supposed to protect you.” He slammed his fists into the ground. “I’ll wake you up. And then make sure nothing evil ever touches you again.” He got up and rushed out of the room.
“Link!” She called as she ran after him.
The place changed again as he disappeared through the door.
She was on a ship, a pirate ship it looked.
The men on the ship went on with their duties as if it were a normal day for them.
She noticed Link looking out at the water.
“I’ll save you. Don’t worry.” He whispered.
His appearance differed as did hers and they were younger.
She stretched out her hand to tap him when someone shouted a familiar name.
“Tetra!”
She turned quickly and was suddenly surrounded by a blinding light. She was now in a temple and the only thing that could be seen was the triforce. They were there floating together.
“Soon you’ll remember everything and you and Link must save Hyrule once again.”
She searched for the person who was speaking but could see no one.
“Whose memories are those?” She called out.
“In a sense they are yours. They are flashes of what was and there are more to come as you slowly regain your former self. I am Rauru I protect this realm of light and Sages. You must find the other six sages and you must come together and help Link destroy Ganondorf and banish him forever. Once you do that, another golden age can begin and all will be restored to what it was.”
She stared up at the triforce.
“Where is my piece?”
“In three days, everything will revert to its former self. It will be full of monsters attacking the kingdom and Ganondorf at full strength. No one will have a recollection of this new life beyond you and Link. Ganondorf has already forgotten as he enters the last stages of transformation. You must find the sages before these three days and be together on that last night otherwise when it is up Ganondorf will go after each and every one of you. And if you’re not at full strength you will succumb. After that you will have to send Link on ardous journey to gain back his skill and the rest of his memories along with the last two triforce pieces and the master sword.”
She swallowed hard as she tried to take in this information.
“Have confidence my Lady and you will succeed.”
Then it went dark again and she could hear someone calling her name in the distance.

“Zelda? Can you hear me? Zelda please wake up…”
Her eyes fluttered open.
Link sighed in relief as he held her head in his lap and coaxed her into staying awake.
“Link…” She mumbled trying to focus.
“I’m right here.”
She sat up with his help and held her head in her hands as the headache forming slowly faded away.
“We need to do something.” Link said as he pulled her up and steadied her.
“We have to find a way to tap into our old memories.” Zelda said as she watched the group of people around them grow.
“How are we going to do that? I’m still having a hard time believing this.”
She grabbed his hand and broke into a run as they exited the museum.
“Where are we going?” He huffed.
She let her thoughts wander trying not to focus to hard on the question so she could receive an answer.
“I have to find out what the Seven Sages are.” She thought aloud.
“The what?” Link asked as he stopped abruptly causing her to swing back into him.
“I had another dream. I saw you. You were fighting a beast and then I saw other old memories so many things that I can barely remember them clearly. Someone spoke to me, he said his name was Rauru.” She continued on and told him what she was told.
Link leaned against a wall finally realizing that this was really happening.


…Ganondorf looked about trying to think of a place to put his kingdom.
Agahnim twiddled his thumbs in angst, he had regained all his memories and his powers.
“Sire, what about in place of the library by the ocean and overlooking all of hyrule.”
Ganondorf glanced in that direction and replaced his scowl with a sneer.
“I have already chosen that spot. Stop being useless and start rounding up my servants.”
Agahnim bowed graciously and flew off.
“Hyrule will be mine again.” He snarled as the sky grew dark with storm clouds and the wind picked up.


…Malon opened the café and left her coworkers responsible for closing it. She ran most of the way to the museum. She arrived as they locked the doors leaving a sign reading “closed for repairs”. She hit the door with her fist and then held it to her chest as it throbbed in pain.
She looked up as the sky rumbled and began to darken.
“Something is stirring and I’m going to find out what.”
She ran in the direction of the library.


…Zelda stood still as she noticed the dark sky. The wind blew her hair in front of her as it picked up.
“It’s already starting. We have three days to find these sages and I’m not even sure how.”
Link stood against the wall and stared at her willing an idea to pop up.
“Let’s go to the library. There has to be something that gives us a clue.” She blurted.
She grabbed his hand again and started running toward the library.
“Here we go again.”


…Agahnim floated over to the public park anticipating a huge crowd, and among the crowd old allies. The sun was now submerged in clouds and people were beginning to leave.
“Wait!” He roared catching everyone’s attention.
They all looked up in shock.
“Is he floating?” Someone asked from the crowd.
“How can that be?” Someone else called out.
“Saria look at that man?”
A young girl with green eyes and green hair turned to look at what her friend Mido had yelled about.
“What the…?” She muttered, astonished.
She felt it in her gut that something bad was about to happen.
“Mido we have to get these people out of here.” She told him as she ran over to a large rock to stand on.
“Everybody get out of here! Don’t stand there and look at me! Leave!” She cried out as loud as her small body would allow.
They just stared.
Agahnim scanned the crowd with his eyes as he searched for Ganondorf’s army, when he came upon Saria.
“Well we are supposed to wait till everyone is revived but I might as well get rid of one sage for now.” He said quietly to himself.
He pointed at her and let loose a bright orb.
Saria caught sight of it as it was about to hit her.
“Saria!” Mido screamed.



…Ganondorf closed his eyes and imagined his castle. He lifted his hands up and started speaking the dark ancient spells of his people. The clouds finally became one and the rain began to pour down, and lightning shot out from all over the sky with thunder rumbling in the background.


…Malon threw herself against the wall as a bolt of lightning came down and nearly struck her. She looked up and caught sight of a dark figure in the sky.
“Ganon…” She said as she regained her footing and ran into the library.


…Link pulled Zelda back as lightning bolts struck down all around them. The light from the lightning revealed a shadow above the library.
“Link what is he doing?” She cried out as the rain poured down harder.
“I don’t know but it is nothing good.” He said watching in terror.
He pulled her and ran the rest of the way maneuvering around the bolts.
“We got to find something useful in here.”



…Saria stumbled backwards and slid off the rock narrowly missing the orb.
She jumped up and ran with the rest of the crowd as they panicked.
Saria grabbed Mido and ran into the trees trying to get as far as possible.
They fell forward as they heard a loud crack from behind.
A tree had fallen and blocked their way back. Then as they scrambled to their feet and made their way through to the path in front another tree fell down behind them.
“What is going on?” Mido asked as they picked up their pace and trees fell down as if leading them somewhere.
They kept up with the trees as they blocked paths and left certain ones open.
Finally they came to a clearing and a cave.
“What is this Saria?” Mido said as he wandered over to the cave.
“I don’t know but I think we have to go in there.” Saria answered as she entered the cave.


... “Evealray ouryay uetray elvessay!” Agahnim chanted over and over, faster and faster. Then he let loose an orb the size of a truck. It struck the ground and shocked everyone within a 20mile radius. The ones who were servants were encased in cocoons, while the others passed out from the shock.
“Soon an army will rise…But first I must locate the third and final piece to make the triforce of power whole…” He floated off to his next destination.

She climbed down the length of rope she had ‘borrowed’ and landed softly as she jumped down the few feet left. The museum was dark as they had to close it early to do construction on something.
“Now where are you vault.” She said to herself shaking off her fiery red hair that had caught some loose pieces of glass as she had climbed through the broken ceiling window.
She surveyed the area cautiously making sure no one was there beside the guards.
“Stop right there.” Someone called out from behind her.
“Damnit.” She cursed standing still.
“It’s not ten o’clock Nabooru. So why did you jump the gun?” he said walking around to face her shining his light in her face.
“There’s no better time then now.” She answered folding her arms over her chest.
“Well hurry up before they get the security cameras unjammed.” He yelled as he walked away only his fiery red hair could be seen.
She saw a door he’d shined light on as he’d walked away. She ran over and twisting the knob hoping to find it open. She heard it click and she pushed it open. It was a huge room with almost nothing in it but the huge vault.
“Here I go.” She mumbled as she slipped the key, she’d stolen before she quit working there, into the first lock then twirled the combination lock around quickly. The door swung open and revealed laser lining the doorway.
“Damn!” She cursed as she looked around for something that could switch it off.
There was a panel of numbers by the door. She blew a little powder, that she had swiped at the police station, onto the panel and four of the numbers had finger prints on them. She rolled back the sleeves to her sweater and prepared for a long process, she put in any combinations she thought they’d used. Finally after twenty minutes and forty combos she shut off the laser. She strolled into the room that was full of drawers. She pulled out her bag and went to the ones closest to her. In the first few drawers there were only bones, as she got farther along the wall she came upon gold coins and started filling her bag with everything in the drawer. She was almost to the end half an hour later, she’d gotten her hands on coins, jewelry, and other gold items of value. She came to the last few drawers, in one drawer there were three items, two were musical items she’d never seen before, and the third was a wand, she took them hoping there was money for them. The next drawer held weapons, weird ones and a shield with symbols on it, she grabbed her other bag and threw the weapons in. The second to last had quite a few gems in gold frames or by themselves. And the last held a solid gold triangle, though it looked as if it were missing pieces.
“Wow I really racked up…” She said overly confident.
She doubled back to the center of the museum where she had entered. She climbed up the rope as quickly as possible with all her new merchandise. She made it to the top and sat down for a second to catch her breathe. A flare of light passing in front of her face made her jump up in surprise. She looked around and caught sight of a man, he was floating in midair.
“What the…?” She kept her eyes on him as he approached.
“Nabooru.” He whispered.
She stared at him but couldn’t place who he was.
“What do you want?” She scowled.
He smiled and looked at her bags. “Give me all the treasures you found and I will spare your life. For now.”
She smirked then threw her head back and let loose a hearty laugh. “Over my dead body.” Her face went serious and she took on a fighting stance.
“I hope you’re prepared to lose your life.”
“Bring it.” She sneered.
She took hold of one of the swords from the bags and twirled it side to side as she ran at him. He didn’t expect her to have skills since she was unaware of who she was.
He threw an orb her way as she came upon him; she ducked under and continued her attack. She slashed at him relentlessly, but he blocked each blow with his cane.
She spun on her foot and slashed his back.
He cried out in pain as he stumbled forward.
She leaped into the air and lunged down sword aimed for his spine. He looked up just as she had the point of the sword by his cloak. He lifted his arm and launched a cluster of orbs. She could only watch as they headed right at her. She collapsed to the ground, the smell of her burnt flesh almost causing her to gag. Her arm was badly damaged as was one of her legs.
“You put up a great fight for an amateur.” He said as he flared up another orb.
She put two fingers in her mouth and blew loudly. Ten red-haired girls scaled the side of the building and climbed onto the roof.
“Nabooru!” One of them called out as they approached the scene.
“Watch it.” Nabooru warned as she pushed herself up.
They all took their fighting stance.
“Taura, grab those bags and go to the hideout right away.” Nabooru ordered as she started toward Agahnim.
Taura ran over to the bags and dragged them behind her.
“She is going nowhere.” Agahnim yelled and let loose the orbs in her direction.
She threw herself to the ground as the orbs whizzed by her and the other girls close by.
“Attack all at once!” Nabooru roared as she lunged at him, sword in hand.
They circled around him and prepared their selves to attack.
Nabooru plunged the sword forward and grazed his arm as the other girls jumped in unison toward him fists and legs out-stretched.
Agahnim flew up and the girls collided with each other.
But Nabooru instinctively grabbed hold of his foot and pulled him back down.
So shocked by this action he fell to the ground.
Nabooru raised the sword and thrust it into his back.
He started to laugh, and then he was attempting to stand up when she brought the sword back up and sliced down through his neck.
His body quivered then went still.
“Let’s go.” Nabooru said as she walked away twirling the sword from hand to hand.
She had the group go off without her to the hideout as she watched the body lay still, waiting for a revival.
She scaled the side of the building and sauntered off toward the hideout.
As she made her way to the place she heard loud music coming from a store that was closing.
She went in and leaned on the wall as she watched the owner dance around.
“So dancing is your true passion Darunia, well besides all these special rock collections you sell here.”
Darunia kept dancing until the song finished.
“When I hear such rhythmic music I can’t control myself.”
She laughed as she left him to his monkey business.
“Don’t be a stranger.” He called out as another song came on.
She paused outside feeling as if she were being watched.
“Only a hero can banish me.” Someone said from above.
She bit her lip as she looked up.
“I am Agahnim, right hand to your leader.”
“I am the leader.” She asserted.
“No the Prince of Darkness and everyones King. Ganondorf Dragmire.”
She stared at him in disbelief. The name had rung a warning bell in her memory but she couldn’t grasp why it seemed so familiar.
“I don’t know who you’re talking about or what you are. But I’ll make sure you don’t come back this time.”
He smiled as he threw an orb her way.
She ducked as it almost struck her but sped on into the window of the store behind her.
Darunia was thrown back as his window exploded.
Nabooru jumped up quickly as she dodged another orb.
She twirled the sword in her hand and watched him carefully.
“What is going on out here?!” Darunia asked enraged.
Agahnim immediately recognized him.
“King Darunia. I see you are well.”
Darunia stared up in amazement.
Nabooru ran over and knocked him on his feet as another orb flew by.
“Come down and fight me coward!” She rebuked.
He floated down and took out two daggers.
“Let us continue.” He said tauntingly.
They circled each other never once dropping their stares.
She charged him and her sword met with both of his daggers. She struck at him again and again. But he laughed at each strike.
She threw her weight into her next strike and caught him off guard as he held one dagger up to catch her sword then swung his other arm into her side, plunging the other dagger into her.
She backed off in pain but only grinded her teeth as she pulled it out.
Darunia stood up and watched the battle then he ran into his store.
Nabooru charged him again thrusting the sword toward his stomach, as he went to block, she released the sword, and put all her weight into her fist as she caught the side of his face.
Agahnim stumbled backwards in surprise. Then something hit him on the side of the head and knocked him off his feet. He looked over and saw Darunia with an arm full of rocks.
Nabooru picked up the sword and pointed it in Agahnims’ face as he lay on the ground.
“Just what are you?” She asked.
Darunia approached them cautiously as he held a rock in his huge hand.
“In time you all will know my masters will.”
“Agahnim!” A voice called as it resounded loudly throughout the sky muting out the thunder.
“I leave you both alive for now. My master calls on me.” He threw his hand up quickly and blew them off their feet.
He took off into the air and into the direction of the area filled with the most lightning bolts.
“Come Darunia that looks like the library he’s heading to.” She said pulling him into a run.
“I don’t know about this.”
“Look at your store and all your precious rocks thrown about.” She pointed out.
He looked at it and his nostrils flared.
“Lets go.” He exclaimed and dragged her with him.


…Saria and Mido looked around in amazement; the walls were full of ancient inscriptions.
Saria felt connected as she trailed her fingers across the walls.
“As many times as I have walked through this forest, I have never seen this cave before.”
She walked toward a doorway with stairs leading upward.
Mido just watched her disappear up the stairs, as he stood there not able to move past the cave opening.
She kept her fingers on the wall as if trying to get something from it.
The stairs finally ended, she’d thought they’d go on forever, as she came to a door of gold.
She put her hand to the door and it opened immediately. Inside was a huge room full of books on golden shelves, and the ceiling was transparent, revealing that this was the basement to the library.
“Wow.” She whispered as she went to the shelves and took a book that caught her eye.
She opened it to find it that it wasn’t in the language the walls illustrated. The first lines of the book read “In a realm beyond sight,
The sky shines gold, not blue.
There, the Triforce's might
Makes mortal dreams come true.” She furrowed her eye brows as she read the lines over and over.
“It’s so familiar.” She sat down and settled in, so distracted she barely noticed that Mido wasn’t with her.
She continued to read on “Before life began, before the world had form, three golden goddesses descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule. They were Din, the goddes of Power, Nayru, the goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, the goddess of Courage. Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth to give the spirit of law to the world. Farore's rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law. These three great goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving behind the golden sacred Triforce. Since then, the Triforce has become the basis for Hyrule's providence. Where the Triforce stood became sacred land.” She stopped for a second looking around and saw a door with three triangles on it. She hadn’t seen it when she’d come in; she held on to the book and walked over to the door. She pushed on it, but it wouldn’t budge. She sat down again and continued reading what seemed to be Hyrules’ true history.
