Nintendo Main Story 1: Ocarina Of Time

Chapter 36

I played the Nocturne of Shadow on my ocarina and we landed on a tall platform with a Triforce symbol on it. I looked around and saw we were overlooking the Kakariko graveyard with pouring rain, along with the dark opening to the Shadow Temple right next to where I stood. We went deep inside the entrance and ran down the stairs.

(Samus' Point Of View):

"Hey Link!" Daisy said.

"Where did you guys come from?!" Link said.

"We climbed up here to investigate while you were gone and saw this opening. So we went inside to see what was in it. This is apparently the entrance to the Shadow Temple."

In the room stood a small, wooden platform with unlit torches circling around it.

"I think you need to cast Din's Fire in order to open the entrance." Navi said.

I casted Din's fire and the torches lit up the room with a stone wall opening another entrance.

We walked down the first stoned hall until we found there was no floor in the middle. Link went across with his hookshot, while I pulled out mine. The claws from my hookshot dug into the brick ceiling and I swung myself over to the other side. Suddenly, there was a loud thud and the ground shook beneath us.

"Look out!" I said. The bricks started to collapse from the ceiling. There were brick that covered where Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina stood and even more bricks in front of us.

"Oh my gosh!" Navi said while peeking through a small hole. "Are you guys ok?!"

There was silence.

"We're alright!" Peach said. We sighed in relief. "You guys go on ahead. We'll head back out and wait for you guys!"

We turned around to see that we were at a dead end. A wall stood in our way.

"Great." I said. "Now what do we do?"

Navi went over to look at writing that was by the wall.

"The Shadow will yield only to one with the eye of truth, handed down in the Kakariko village." Navi read on the stone. Link pulled out something from his bag.

"What does that mean?" I said.

"It means we have to use this." I saw Link walk towards the wall and just as I thought he was about to walk into it, he disappeared. Link walked back through the wall.

"Hey! We can walk through the!" Link said. "By looking through these! You'll have to look through these with me Samus." We both looked through them.

"There's no wall there when I look into these!" I said. We then walked through the wall together.

We continued walking through each of the dark rooms and went through walls and floors until we entered a dark room.

"This looks just like the one we entered in the bottom of the well." Navi said. Gates fell in front of the door behind us. Hands started to come out of the ground. "Oh no! It's them again!!!"

"Dead hand!" Link said.

I looked over with shock. The hands grabbed us and a giant monster was coming over. I started to hit it with my hands.

"Stop! Wait!" Link said. "Let it grab a hold of you until it comes over and then strike it's body!" I didn't quite understand how it would work, but I did as he said. By doing this a few times, it was destroyed.

A chest appeared in front of us. Link opened it to what looked like a few pairs of boots.

"The Hover Boots! You can hover above the ground and they don't have any traction in them either. You can walk for a short amount of time where there is no solid ground." Navi said.

"These will be very useful!" Link replied.

We continued through the temple until finding a ferry. we climbed up onto the platforms until we were on the ship. Link played Zelda's lullaby when standing on the Triforce. Suddenly, the bells on the ferry rang and it started to move the ferry on the water. A few minutes later, we stopped.

"Oh no! We're sinking! Get onto a safe platform!"

We ran off of the ferry fast. We continued on until finding a door and entering through it.

We were in a dark room with a hole in the middle of the room. Link pulled out the lens of truth, but saw no walls or floors to go through but the hole.

"Well Navi. Guess there's no other way to go." Link said. He took off and jumped through the hole.

"Wait! Link?!" I said. I jumped in to follow him.

We went down until hitting the floor with my boots. However, it didn't quite feel like an ordinary floor. We jumped about three feet up and back down when hitting the floor. Giant hands that weren't attached to anything came down. They hit the floor like it was a drum and kept making me jump up when they did. A beat was starting to form and the beat became faster and faster like a drum. A body with a red eye came down towards us.

"That's the phantom shadow beast, Bongo Bongo!" Navi said.
