Legends Live On

Chapter 4: Castle Town

The odd duo reached the edge of Hyrule castle just as Zelda and Impa rode past on a white horse. Princess Zelda, who was in-front of Impa, turned and threw something into the moat beside the walls of castle town. Link thought he had seen Zelda smile slightly as they started to fade out of sight.

Next, a man on a strange black horse stopped and stared at the two children. "Say... Do you know which direction the white horse went?" Link drew his sword also slightly sliding over to shield Sora in response to the older evil male.

"How cute. The pipsqueak wants to play hero." The man chuckled lowly. "Alright." he smirked and started to create a light ball of energy in his right hand. The strange man sent it in their direction, causing it to collide with Link, sending the two companions to the ground. "Don't mess with my plans, pipsqueak." He growled before riding away.

Sora watched as the man in black rode away while the boy in green slowly got up and turned towards her. "Hes the Ganondorf you speak of?" She asked Link, who just nodded in reply. She watched as his blue eyes turned towards the town in anger at himself and at the new 'ruler' of Hyrule.

She looked up to see Link had already walked off looking around at the destroyed town, the usual happy sparkle in his eyes now replaced with a particular sadness and a slight tremor of anger.

"How dare he..." Link seethed in anger. " How could he destroy this beautiful town...? They did nothing to him to deserve this!" He stared at what he thought was a foot and slightly flinched. "They did nothing to deserve the slaughter of the town..." he watched as the illusions of the happy villagers started to play on what used to be the grounds of Castle Town.

Sora didn't know what to say to calm the boy down, so she reached out and put her hand on his shoulder to try comforting him, flinching when he just shrugged it off before he looked at her with icy blue eyes. "I'm going to kill him..." Link growled before trying to stomp off towards the Temple of Time, stopping only when he felt her hand on his shoulder.

"Are you forgetting something?" She asked while handing him the Ocarina of Time. Link slightly sweat-dropped, cursing himself for forgetting the only key to unlocking the Door of Time. He looked at the Ocarina, which was now wet from the moat Zelda had tossed it in, and sighed taking it from Sora . He started to wipe the water off with the bottom of his tunic, making the red haired girl turn away from him.

Link looked up from his work. "What?" He asked.

"I don't want to see your tights or underwear!"

Link blushed and shrugged turning away and starting to walk away. "I wonder whats going to happen now that Ganon is in control..." He wondered to himself listening as the soft tapping of their feet on the ground echoed throughout castle town.

"Everything will work out just fine..." He heard Sora whisper as she stepped over the bloody body of a civilian. "Just... Fine..." He could tell by now she was trying not to gag or throw up by the overwhelming stench that was now... Castle Town. "I wonder why he had to kill all of these people..."

Link shrugged for a second then started walking up the steps that lead towards the temple of time. He had never been there before but he had a strange feeling that they had to go to the eerie castle that lay just beyond the flowerbeds that were lined up on each side of the walkway.

Temple of time

The minute they got inside the eerie temple Navi flew over to the Door of Time, which had a moon design on it, or at least what Sora thought was a moon. She paused and looked at Link. 'At least he doesn't have to deal with boxes...' Sora thought trying to hold back a chuckle remembering how her brother used to get pissed whenever he played Wind waker, Twilight princess or Ocarina of time even.
