Laments of a Hero

The Hero of Time is defeated in battle.
As the once raging fires of war fade away, the wife of the beloved hero who travelled through time witnesses firsthand the destruction Ganondorf had caused. This time, after all of the hero's careful planning, the tide was in the hand of the King of Thieves. After his defeat and the destruction of Hyrule, Malon, the girl he'd promised the world, wanders the death streaked fields, broken, when a comforting wind dances around her, alongside a familiar tune being whistled in its gusts.

Even in death, the Hero of Time deserves to be happy. After he teaches the Hero of Twilight, the new hero, all of his hidden skills, he laments no longer, and is reunited with the family he missed so much.
