Link stayed there with Zelda in his arms for two hours.
No, she can't be dead. Zelda will wake up any moment. My friend. My Zelda.
Link thought. He finally took Zelda's body and placed it in front of the goddess statue. It was a fitting spot to put her. She would've liked being buried here.

He was going to go up to Skyloft to get his shield and some potions and wash off some of the blood. He called his loftwing and he flew in the now cold, dead air. He got his potions and washed himself. After he got his shield and started heading out of the Knight Academy, he bumped into Gaepora, Zelda's father.
"Hey Link, have you seen Zelda? I've been looking for her, but I can't find her anywhere." Asked Gaepora
Link couldn't tell him what had happened, not now. Gaepora could see Link's now worried expression.
"What? What happened to her? What's wrong my boy?"
Link started running in the opposite direction out of the Knight Academy.

He called his loftwing again once he was set. Link couldn't just go down without a fight. There had to be a way to bring Zelda back. And even if there wasn't, he wouldn't let her death be in vain.

He landed on the surface and got out his sword and shield he was now running in the direction Morrt left after he had obtained the triforce of power.
Link had to stop him, there's no telling what an evil soul like his, would do with this power. Along his way, he could see in the distance Eldin Volcano. It looked somehow... corrupted. Could Morrt be in there? Link had to take the chance. Quickly, Link went to Eldin Volcano. Bokoblins swarmed the area. It would be hard to get to the volcano with all the enemies and lava in the area. Link charged into the horde of bokoblins, slaying tons with his sword and mite. He nearly fell into the lava multiple times, but he always avoided that fate.
"Finally." Link sighed
He had reached the entrance to Eldin Volcano. He entered and had slain tons more enemies.
He had finally reached the top. The only thing stopping him from entering was a door with a strange shaped whole in it. But there was a sign on the sign of the door that read:
"Those who wish to enter,
shall find the key.
Underneath the lava,
is where it will be"
"Underneath the lava..." Link whispered to himself. He knew what to do. Link ran down the volcano until he came across a suspicious pile of dirt. He stomped on it repeatedly.
"Woah hey! Would ya keep it down!"
Suddenly, a mogma came out of the hole. It was Ledd, "Your giving me a head- oh hey! It's you again!" He said. "Yeah." Link said. "So what do ya want from me this time?" "Uh, actually I would like another pair of mogma mitts." "Wait... ANOTHER PAIR? So you lost the other two we gave you?" Ledd said. "Kinda, yeah."
"What? Is that your whole vocabulary or somethin, pal? Well if you really want another pair, I'm gonna need something else in return."
"What?" Link asked.
"There's this hidden room in here somewhere with a pretty sweet treasure, or so I've heard. The only thing is, the ground is solid. Which means I can't dig through it. That means I can't get to my treasure, and you know how I love my treasure. So do that for me, and I'll get you another pair of mogma mitts."
"How will I know where this room is?"
Link asked. "The thing is, I don't actually remember where the room is.
But here's a map for you. I put red Xs on the spots that the room could be located. Good luck." Ledd gave him the map and then went underground again.
Link studied the map trying to find out where the spots are.
"Oh," Ledd had popped out of the ground again,"when you've found the treasure, return to this hole. Got it?"
Ledd then returned underground, once again.
There were four Xs on the map. Each one was located in a completely different area then the others.
Link sighed, "This is gonna take a while.

Link started with the X on the first level of the volcano. The room he had to pass before investigating if there was any hidden room contained a moblin. Moblins were the bigger, stronger, less common version of the bokoblins. Link had forgotten many of his items in Skyloft, so he didn't even have his slingshot to stun the moblin,
maybe Link was too hot headed at the moment. Link quickly ran around the moblin and repeatedly slashed it. This was an easy task since bokoblins are so slow. Link took it down easily. Sadly, there was no hidden room to be found.

Each of the other rooms contained a moblin too. It was only on the third room did he find the hidden room.
He saw a chest in the room. It wasn't very big so Link wondered if it was really worth it. A promise is a promise though. Link opened the chest and found a bomb bag, no... a deluxe bomb bag. Link made his way to the hole Ledd was in and stomped on it again. "Yeeeesh! Don't you have any other way of calling me?!" Shouted Ledd.
"I got the treasure." said Link.
"Oooh, what is it?"
Link handed Ledd the deluxe bomb bag.
"Really? This is what was in there? Well, I was starting to miss my old bomb bag. A deal's a deal, I suppose."
Ledd gave Link the mogma mitts.
"Seeya later!" Ledd said as he left.

Link could now use these mogma mitts to dig underneath the ground, where the key was. Link searched all around the lava for suspicious holes. The only thing he found was rupees, until he found an unusually large hole near the lava. He dug into it using the mogma mitts and was able to go underneath the ground. He wasn't alone, though. There was a moldorm guarding the chest which would most likely contain the key to the sealed door. Moldorms are worm-like creatures that live underground. Link couldn't wield his sword underground so he had to attack it using his mogma mitts.

He snuck past it and was able to come right behind it and get repeated attacks on its end. It made 1/3 of its body pop into thin air. It was aggravated now and was moving faster. Link crawled as quick as he could in the cramped space, but he was to slow. The moldorm got a hit on him and was a bit calmer. Link had to repeat the process of eliminating its body from the back to its head, without getting hurt. He was able to get behind the moldorm once again and attacked it again. This caused another 1/3 of its body to be destroyed. Link now crawled out of sight of the moldorm, knowing it would be agitated. By the time is was calm, Link was already striking until it had entirely disappeared. The chest was now Link's to take.

He opened it and got the strange shaped key. He made his way out of the hole and up to the summit of the volcano. He now stood before the door, key in hand. He twisted and turned it until it fit. He inserted the key and opened the door.
