Link fought his way through Hyrule Castle, the same dark magic that plagued the Palace of Winds now twisting it's halls. The floors would crack and threaten to swallow him up, demon claws fell from nowhere, and the dead seemed to crawl out of the walls. Monster after monster blocked his path, but Link wasn't alone.
Using the power of the sacred blade, he summoned three clones to fight by his side. No longer were they faint copies, or unstable forms, but solid entities that fought separate from him. They followed Link as he made his way to the roof.
At last, they stood in front of the large iron door that was the entrance to the highest floor. Inside, Vaati waited, but the door was blocked by great golden chains.
These chains were no match for the Sacred Blade's power, not if all four were used at once. The power from the four swords disintegrated the lock, and Link and his clones entered the final floor.
They stepped onto a long bridge, a walkway that looked down on the chamber far below. Torches lit the way across the narrow hall.
"Ha haha!" Vaati's taunting laugh echoed. "You ARE persistent, aren't you? Heh hehhehhehhehheh... So, you've come to stop my little ceremony. Well, you're too late. A mere three more chimes of the bell will bring the ceremony to its end. And with the third toll of the bell, I will become like a god! And your precious Princess Zelda will be nothing more than cold, dead stone."
"There's no time!" Ezlo growled. "Quickly, Link, to the roof!"
Link was about to continue forward, when a golden armored knight stepped out of the shadows ahead. It was the same as the one in the Palace of Winds, or at least one similar. But it was no match for Link now.
Link and his clones fired bolts of energy at the golden knight, blasting it apart. They hurried through the bridge hall, kicking open the door on the other side. As they stepped through however, they heard the faint chime of a bell far away.
"Did you hear that, Link?" Ezlo gasped. "Hurry! There are only two chimes left!"
They raced through the next room, slashing through the hordes of monsters that blocked their way. It was a small army of creatures, but they were also no match for him and his clones. They made it to the other side of the room with ease, but as they opened the next door, the second bell chimed.
"Another bell has tolled..." Ezlo hissed. "Just one more chime, and all our work will be for naught!"
Again Link tried to hurry to the next room, and again he was stopped with stronger enemies. This time, three large armored knights, each holding a sword and shield. This time they couldn't just skip ahead, as the knights blocked the way, but that didn't stop Link from trying.
Two of the clones ran ahead, drawing the enemy's attention, then Link and his other clone charged head on, slicing through the chinks in their armor while they were distracted. The other two clones circled around the dark knights, slicing through their backs. The last was finished off by the original Link, and then at last they pushed their way through the final door.
