Link's Odyssey ✔️

VI

Back in the Hyrule Castle, Ganondorf started to pack up. Zelda was handcuffed and supervised by two Moblins, badly beaten up. Ganondorf and one of his servants tortured her in the cellar as a punishment for attempting to escape.

"Eric! Get the wedding dress and the rings! Sheldon and Ronnie, fill the airship with gas!"

"Lord Ganondorf! We packed your suitcase! Zelda's wedding dress is in there. And here are the rings! The wedding rings are in the suitcase," said Eric, handing Ganondorf a box with engagement rings inside.
Ganondorf laughed and walked towards Zelda. "You regret trying to escape, don't you? I can tell. Give me your hand," he said. Zelda averted her eyes from him as Ganondorf harshly grabbed her arms. "Stay put!" he ordered, "you will wear this ring so everybody will know that you're my fiancé!" Ganondorf removed the smaller ring and slid it on the princess' finger. "And do not complain! Nobody will save you, no matter what you do. Everyone is dead,"
Ganondorf pushed her away and continued packing.
Link was still sitting under the tree and waiting when he received a Tripe notification on his Sheikah Slate. It was from Robbie, a scientist from the Akkala region. Hello, Link! It's Doctor Robbie! I have some great news for you. I figured out how to get the Guardians back on our side. Purah and I will follow you to where Ganon will go and help you out. We invented a small robot that kills Ganon's evilness. It looks like a tiny Guardian so that the real Guardians won't get suspicious. Once we get there, Purah and I will release it. When you and Ganon start battling, the Guardians will attack. The new "Champions" will follow Ganon and attack him along with the Guardians. Don't worry - we have it all planned so Ganon won't notice, and by the time he will, it'll be too late. Good luck!

Link started to smile. Robbie's assertion made him feel more confident. My Zelda will be safe, he thought. Link was so assiduous in being Zelda's bodyguard; he would even take his own life for her. Suddenly, he heard an engine start. It was Ganon's airship. Rapidly, Link hid in a bush and kept his eyes on it. "Zelda, wait a bit longer...I'm here," he whispered. Once the airship passed him, Link hopped onto his horse and chased after it.

The horse was benign and well trained, so Link didn't have to control it. While riding, Link checked Koroksgram. Hmm, he thought as he scrolled down.

The first post was from Bolson.

@official_bolsonconstruction: "New construction, house reduction, wall destruction, remodel-uction... Aaaaaaanything a house could need! Karson and I built a new house in Hateno Village, now on sale for 30,000 rupees! Two floors high, two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and a horse stand included. You want it, come and contact us!

@hudson_hudson: Introducing Emerson to this world, mine and Rhondson's new daughter! Born at 5 a.m in Tarrey Town, Akkala. So excited for this little vai!

@realriju: Patricia is so cute I can't get enough of her eeeeep!

@tebathebirb: Tulin finally hit all the targets in the Flight Range! So proud of my little warrior! Master Revali would have been so happy!
When Link spotted a post from Ganon, he froze stiff.

@g4n0nd0rf: Preparing for our wedding on the very edge of the Gerudo desert. There are five days remaining and I'm adrenalized!! Plus, the Hylian asshole is dead, which makes my mood even better! Whoever wills to come is welcome. Send me a private message and I'll give out passes so the Guardians won't shoot you.

Link was devastated after reading the caption. "Hylian asshole? Who are you calling an asshole, Ganondorf?! Just wait until I show up and murder you for Hylia's sake!" he cried to himself. He was furious. At least he still thinks I'm dead, he thought. I will show up at that wedding, murder that monster and take my Zelda back!! I'm not letting this happen!

Up in the airship, Ronnie and Eric were looking through a spyglass to keep their leader safe. "Ron, look! There's a dude following us!" gasped Eric. Ronnie took the spyglass and took a peek. "Nah, it's just a Hylian minding his own business," he said and stepped away.

Eric: "Ron, it's Link! We didn't kill him! Lord Ganondorf will be furious!"

Ronnie: "That is not fucking Link! That Hylian asshole wore a blue tunic and had long, light hair with braids and a ponytail. That person is wearing a hood and a red Hylian tunic! Warriors don't wear that! Plus, that isn't Link's horse. Epona was brown, and this horse is white,"

Eric: "I heard Epona got injured, so she's getting recovered. Maybe Link got a temporary replacement,"

Ronnie: "Dude. We killed him. Don't you remember the condition he was in after we beat his Hylian ass up? He was frozen stiff. He has perished,"

Eric: "You know what we should do? In case it is Link, we should keep an eye on him. You never know what that warrior is up to, he always finds a way to survive. If he will keep following us until we reach our destination, we'll shoot him down. And do not say anything to anybody, especially Lord Ganondorf. This will be a secret between both of us,"

The two Bokoblins shook hands and went off the dock. "Go back to the dock! I thought I ordered you to watch the surroundings and report any suspicious activity! Where's Sheldon?!" shouted Ganondorf. Zelda was chained to his bed. "Sheldon is on the other side of this ship, browsing his Sheikchat. Lord Ganondorf, can someone else be on duty at least for tonight? We've been on duty for six and a half hours! We only got one hour of sleep last night!" protested Eric. "How dare you protest against my orders?" gasped Ganondorf, "but fine. This time, I'll let you two go to bed. Mike, Lars, and Jules, you three are on dock duty! Report any suspicious activity to me immediately,"

The Bokoblins bowed to their master and walked out, then Ganondorf turned to Zelda. He reached for a scab on her face. "Who did this to you?" he conquered, attempting to feel it. "You did it, you beast!! You and your stupid Bokoblins!!" shouted Zelda, slapping Ganondorf in the face, however, that only worsened the situation. Ganondorf began twisting her arm and choking her. "Quit acting up, Zelds! Why are you belittling all the work I'm doing for our future? You're still pissed about that Hylian being dead?! Forget about him! Why would you choose a feminine looking Hylian over such a handsome Gerudo voe like me?" he said. A few seconds later, he let go of her. "Just look at me! I have short hair, large muscles, and I'm 7'8 feet tall! Link wasn't even six feet tall, he was 5'7, he barely has abs, and plus, he looks like a vai! If I were Link, I would grow a beard and cut those dumb ass braids! Who in the world would be attracted to a Hylian like Link? And he hardly even talks! No matter what you say to him, there'll be dead silence in response. I talk all the time,"

Zelda started shedding tears. She was devastated. How dare he talk that way about my bodyguard, my hero, she thought. Ganondorf looked into her eyes: "Don't cry. A princess shouldn't be crying. If you're crying, that means you're a wimp. I bet Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule is so pissed at you right now because you're crying in front of me, the great Ganondorf. Anyway, it's getting late. You can either sleep in this bed...with me. Or sleep on the hardwood floor without any pillows or blankets. You choose, but, I'm just going to tell you that this bed is so comfortable!"

Ganondorf plopped into his bed. "I'd rather sleep in mud than with you," grouched Zelda.

-"Whatever you say. Sweet dreams, Zelds,"

Zelda curled up on the floor and squeezed her locket with Link in it in her fist. "Please save me...I can't take this anymore..." she whispered.
