Attack on Titan/Zelda crossover - To Hyrule and Back Again

Chapter Sixteen: Forest Cantavia

Link's Point of View

I don't have a hookshot; therefore, I have no way to kill titans. At least not easily.

I guess that's not that bad. Gotta focus on the task at hand, can't get distracted by those giant beasts. As I rocket through the field, not yet spotting any titans, I begin to wonder how things are going back in Yarckel - if they've escaped yet, if FR is giving them trouble, if one of them's already died to the titans...

My thoughts are interrupted by the sight of something I've been dreading.

It's a freakin' titan. Multiple titans. They're in a tight-knit group, and they're about medium-size; one looks like an old man with a gray beard and one has a full-blown brown mustache. Hm. Weird.

I can still kill these guys. I just have to get a jump start...

A brief moment after that thought I spot a pond a little to the left of the titan group, and an idea comes to mind: Zora Mask. I haven't used that (nor have I used the Deku Mask) since I've been in this universe. I'm going to zoom as fast as I can towards the pond whilst also aiming at the titans, jump and switch my mask to a Zora mask, hop out of the water as high as possible while simultaneously turning back into my Hylian self, and hopefully striking one of the titans' napes.

So I rush forwards, and then turn at a sharp angle, aligning myself with the large pond and the ever-slow moving batch of titans, and commence my plan; immediately before reaching the pond I gracefully hop my Goron body into the air, take off my Goron Mask then switch into a Zora, perfectly dive into water, still travelling at incredible speeds, point towards the surface and zoom into the air, transform back into a Hylian while also grabbing my blade and head straight towards a titan's nape.

Right before I slice the nape, in mid-air, my sword is knocked out of my hand and launched several meters to the right of me, and upon turning my head left I'm struck by a boot, sending me down along with my sword. I crash onto the ground to see Shadow Link landing beside me.

That asshole just knocked me out of mid-air, the hell? Where'd he learn that?!

"Are you serious? What the hell-agh, dammit!" I say, frustrated, holding the aching shoulder that struck the ground first. One of Shadow Link's hands is behind his back, and the other is holding his Dark/Shadow whatever Gilded Sword towards me. Upon stumbling back to my feet he reveals what he's holding behind his back: My Zora Mask.

"Hey! Uh, that's - that's mine! What's your problem with me?"

He doesn't move an inch as I continue to plead.

"Seriously! I'm kind-of on an important mission, and you're not helping!"

He sheathes his sword and places my Zora Mask in his dark-tunic pocket; then, he holds his right hand up, the back of it facing me, and his dark/shadow whatever Triforce is glowing... Resonating.

I look at my Triforce on my left hand to see it resonating, as well.

This is getting weird.

As the titans inch closer and closer, I decide to hop forward, hoping he's distracted, and try to snatch back my mask. He shifts left and counters by reaching for my Goron Mask, but he doesn't take it...

Instead, a dark version of the Goron Mask forms out of thin air; following that, he places it on his face, transforms into a dark Goron, and rolls in the opposite direction. I pick up my sword, sheathe it, and watch him in the distance as he gradually rolls out of my eyesight.
