Okay. This is less of an Equal Lady thing & more of a thought experiment. Imagine, if you will, that there is a half-fae Darling (personally, I like the idea of a Link's monozygotic twin sister or older sister depending on the Dorf). Like, not specifically fairy the way Rulie is, but any of a wide variety of supernatural denizens of the Fae Realm.

Anyway, if you know anything about fae lore, it's actually really bad to give one your full, actual name. (At the same time, fae hate lies, so it's best to go with a nickname instead.) Because, if you do give them your full name… It gives them power over you.

And if you eat or drink fae food made by fae, then… Well… They own you. You belong to that fae & they command you. And, it’s somewhat vague about what things are considered, “fae food.”

So, I'm just imagining 2 different scenarios. Either Dorf eats a specifically fae dish made by Darling without either of them realizing or during one of the Dorfs’ villain monologues just sort of looking at him like he's insane in the membrane (because he just gave not just his full real name, but his title & even the name of his birth mother & her title, possibly even his adoptive mothers & their titles; which, the more a fae knows about you, the more power they have over you).

After which, she opens her mouth & recites his full name, then commands him to fall asleep… And he just collapses right there. Only to wake up in a cell, chained to the wall.

His Triforce piece is absent, his magic not responding to his command.

Powerless… with a new mistress who he cannot disobey no matter what… He cannot attack her. And if she so commands it, he can't even act out against her regardless of how.

On a scale of 1 to shitting his sirwal, how badly are they taking it?

Especially when they learn why & just how badly they fucked themselves over? And do any of the Dorfs suddenly discover themselves to be switches at the thought of a woman holding so much power over him?

Because the truest Social Darwinist is one who recognizes when they're beat & submits to who, by their own philosophy, has proven themselves their better.

I dunno, I guess that, at least in the case of TP, I can see him being the only real & true Social Darwinist out of all the Dorfs for this reason. Like, none of the others believe it fully, not even TotK Dorf, really.

At the same time, he's stubborn & would need to be beaten in ever conceivable way before such would occur.

Regardless, though, I get the feeling that they'd all experience psychosexualism. Ebheroticism.

Finally, what are your thoughts on such a possibility?

I'm going to fully admit that my brain has been not working the last couple days (its been longer, but it's kinda swizz cheese rn. I loved having this thought process to think on, but my hands are not wanting to work with my brain to actually formulate what I'm thinking. ADHD and Depression are powerful foes when working together.

I didn't want you to think that I was ignoring this, however! I did want to see what another thought process was, so I do want to share the ChatGPT portion for now, then repost with my ideas later when the brain functions. I appreciate your asks, and please do not be afraid to send them when you have more! <3

ChatGPT Says:

Wind Waker Ganondorf

Initial Reaction: Wind Waker Ganondorf would initially be in shock and disbelief. His arrogance and confidence in his own power would make it difficult for him to accept that he has been bested so thoroughly by someone he underestimated.

Feelings:

Shock and Anger: He would feel a mixture of rage and disbelief at having been tricked and rendered powerless.

Resentment: He would harbor deep resentment towards Darling for exploiting such a weakness.

Response:

Resistance: Initially, he would resist with all his might, trying to find any loophole or weakness in the fae’s control over him.

Cunning: He would try to outwit Darling, looking for opportunities to regain his power or manipulate her into releasing him.

Acceptance:

Reluctant Acceptance: Over time, if he finds no way out, he might grudgingly accept his position, but he would never fully submit without an ongoing internal struggle.

Ocarina of Time Ganondorf

Initial Reaction: Ocarina of Time Ganondorf would be furious. His pride would be severely wounded, and he would struggle with the realization that he has been so thoroughly outmaneuvered.

Feelings:

Humiliation: He would feel deeply humiliated at being overpowered and controlled.

Hatred: He would develop an intense hatred towards Darling.

Response:

Revenge: He would constantly plot revenge, even while powerless. His mind would be consumed with thoughts of retribution.

Defiance: He would remain defiant and refuse to cooperate, making it clear that he is not broken.

Acceptance:

Unyielding Resistance: He would never truly accept his situation. Instead, he would bide his time, waiting for the perfect moment to strike back.

Twilight Princess Ganondorf

Initial Reaction: Twilight Princess Ganondorf would experience a profound sense of disbelief. His entire identity is built around his strength and dominance, and being rendered powerless would be a crushing blow.

Feelings:

Despair and Rage: He would oscillate between despair at his powerlessness and rage at being tricked.

Curiosity and Respect: Despite his rage, he might develop a grudging respect for Darling’s cunning.

Response:

Introspection: He would spend time reflecting on his failures and trying to understand his opponent better.

Manipulation: He would attempt to manipulate Darling emotionally or psychologically to gain some leverage.

Acceptance:

Potential Submission: If he recognizes Darling as a truly superior being by his own Social Darwinist philosophy, he might begrudgingly submit, but this would take a long time and complete domination on her part.

Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf

Initial Reaction: Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf would react with immediate and violent anger. His sense of invincibility would be shattered, leading to an explosive response.

Feelings:

Frustration: He would be incredibly frustrated at being outsmarted and overpowered.

Determination: His determination to break free and reclaim his power would be overwhelming.

Response:

Aggression: He would use every ounce of his strength to break free, regardless of the consequences.

Strategizing: When aggression fails, he would start strategizing, using his tactical mind to find weaknesses in Darling’s control.

Acceptance:

Temporary Compliance: He might temporarily comply if it serves a strategic purpose, but he would never truly accept subservience.

Overall

All versions of Ganondorf would struggle immensely with being overpowered and controlled. Their reactions would range from outright aggression to cunning manipulation. The realization of their powerlessness would be a significant blow to their pride, but their responses would vary:

Wind Waker: Shock and cunning resistance.

Ocarina of Time: Humiliation and plotting revenge.

Twilight Princess: Deep introspection and potential eventual submission.

Hyrule Warriors: Immediate aggression followed by strategic plotting.

The idea of a woman holding power over them would be difficult for them to accept, but it could potentially lead to an evolution in their thinking, especially for Twilight Princess Ganondorf, who might come to respect and even submit to such power if it is proven to be superior.

Whumptober 2020: Day 1

Do I know what I’m doing? No. Have I ever written for a prompt before? No. Am I extremely stressed trying to figure out how to keep it short? Yes. Am I giving this thing a shot despite all this? Sure, what the hell!

Because I don’t know how to be normal and do unrelated oneshots, these are going to go together to make a mini fic, apparently. So... here’s the prologue I suppose!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Well, well, little hero,” Ganondorf cooed as he walked around the stone slab that held Link down, shackles tight around his wrist restricting most of his movement. “I can’t believe the Goddess chose someone so… small. What are you? Are you even a warrior?”

Link was emboldened by his childhood ignorance. Facing the world’s greatest evil, he still managed some fire within him. “I could fight you if you weren’t so cowardly! Let me out of these chains and we’ll see who can fight!”

“Such a child,” Ganon purred. “And such a pity. I had thought that the hero would have been more than this. Was it a test? Did the Goddess think this was a joke? The Triforce is never a joke.”

Chapter Index

“You’re a joke!”

Ganon smiled at the young teenager. Truly, this kid was hardly a consideration. He was thin, short… barely a man and yet not quite a child. There was no way he knew how to fight, especially not with the dismal struggle that he’d put up when Ganon had caught him. Link’s eyes betrayed fear behind his words, but he didn’t lack for spirit. That was one of the few reasons he believed that this… child… could be a chosen Triforce wielder.

“The princess is heavily guarded, but we must get to her. When I have acquired her as well, I will be the master of this land.”

“I don’t have whatever it is you want from me! I’m the son of a market vender. What could I possibly have?”

Ganondorf clicked his tongue, entertained by the boy, but not nearly frightened. “Spirit.”

“Let me go!”

Ganon slammed his hand down beside the boy’s head and tugged on the chain around his arm, moving right into the boy’s face so his rancid breath tickled his skin. “You… are so full of strength that you cannot possibly know. Your father’s death fueled a rage in you that you buried for your mother’s sake.”

“What?” Link balked. “How do you know…?” He let out a cry and Ganondorf pressed his hand against Link’s head, both of their eyes fluttering closed.

“Ah,” Ganon laughed, “You are strong. But I will win. I will always win. And your strength will become my weapon. You will be my second sword. You will be my shield. I can feel the power you possess, and I desire it. But we must break through the impenetrable walls of Hyrule castle. You will obey my commands.”

“No, I won’t!” Link spat back.

But Ganon pressed his palm harder into the boy’s head. “You will. You will learn to fight. You will not rest. I need you at your best. We will bide our time until we can take Hyrule for good.”

“Let go!” Link screamed, feeling the tight metal dig into his wrists as he struggled fruitlessly.

Ganon closed his eyes, channeling all of his magic into his hand. “Will you resist, boy?”

“L-let go!” he tried again, feeling tired, his head throbbing. “Let… go…”

Ganon smiled to himself as he felt Link’s will slipping, overwhelmed. His small body couldn’t take the power commanded by the Demon Lord.

Link whimpered, feeling words slide into his brain as if they were his own, banging on the walls until Link would let them loose. Words of submission to a dark will that longed to clamp its way over Link’s soul.

And he did everything possible to stop it.

Undeterred, Ganon shrugged. “Oh well. You may resist for now, but time is something that I have an abundance of. And I am willing to wait.”

For the next “chapter”: Prompt 2

fic writing meme: 1, 12, 17, 18, 21

Oh dang, that’s a lot! Think I’ll put this behind a cut to spare everyone’s dash.

1. The first fandom I wrote and posted for was Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. But! Somewhere in a landfill is a notebook with a very overwrought Animorphs fic about Ax falling in love with my very cool, original-character-donut-steel alien bat-centaur who can tell the future. Every day I thank the universe for not letting my family have internet access until I was 14. Actually, maybe the universe should have held out longer, but you can peep the cringe for yourself over here: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/173909/Fortuna

Yes, that is my old ff.net profile. My only regret is that I didn’t get a chance to back up my ask fics before the site suddenly decided to make a rule banning them and deleted them all. (Me, still salty over that 15 years later? Why, yes actually.)

12. A trope I haven’t tried yet but really want to? It’s hard to narrow it down; there’s a lot of “cliche” fanfic tropes I never let myself write that I want to indulge in this year. I’m thinking about finding one of those bingo cards to use or something. But since I grew up sneaking my mom’s romance novels, I think an arranged marriage would be fun to try if I have to pick just one.

17. The fic I’m most proud of should come as no surprise, lol. I still can’t believe I finished something as long and plotty as finaglc. Would love to manage it again someday. :’)

18. Line/scene dvd commentary: okay okay okay! So there’s this more-or-less abandoned DaphGan Legend of Zelda fic I was writing back in the day, that was just a loose serious of vignettes in chronological order. I had ideas for like 20 chapters and fizzled out because it turns out only about three people on the whole earth give a shit about DaphGan and I can’t write in a complete void of feedback. Anyway, I researched medieval boar hunting techniques because I desperately wanted an action scene culminating in a ~bad omen~ and here it is, so scroll by if you just want to see the last question in the batch:

Within minutes, they were deep enough that the forest canopy closed above them, far above Ganondorf’s head. In the cool and the dim, and with the rustling of leaves in the breeze overhead sounding almost like waves, Ganondorf felt as though he were at the bottom of a great, ancient lake. Mist lay in a thick blanket on the ground as high as the smaller horses’ barrels, and a carpet of dead leaves and needles deadened the sounds of their movement. The hunters had fallen silent. About that, he had no complaints.

(I recall being inordinately fond of the underwater imagery, because I’d been struggling for how to conceptualize a thick forest for a person who’s spent most of his life in the open desert.)

Save for ferns and scattered herbs, there was little in the way of troublesome plants or low branches beyond the border of the forest, and Ganondorf realized that King Daphnes’ suggestion the day before had, in truth, been polite censure of his clothing rather than any practical concern. He frowned, and put the thought aside. It did not matter.

(I was not at all subtle about the Hylians picking at the Gerudo envoy’s appearances, which I think I could handle a little better now, but alas...)

He thought instead on the many sounds surrounding them, his ears straining to hear every one. There was birdsong, in patterns and notes he had never heard. Small creatures rustled in the trees. Water gurgled somewhere out of view. The woods were full of life in every direction, and Ganondorf quietly marvelled at its richness.

All of this, for the sport of one family?

(This piece of writing is old enough that I was still using the now-defunct “two spaces after a period” rule, wow. Also, hello there, years-old misspelling. :/)

They kept to a walking pace for an hour or two, hushed but alert. The dogs picked up a scent, the party wheeling around to follow after them. Ganondorf rode alongside King Daphnes. The man’s eyes were alight as he looked down the deer trail ahead of the dogs; a small smile of anticipation grew on his face. "They have something, eh?” he said, in a whisper. “What did I tell you!”

The lead dog threw its head back, baying. It launched itself forward and the rest of the pack followed suit, tails held high like flags.

An enormous boar, all sinewy muscle and bristled hide, burst from a nearby thicket and was driven ahead of them.

“Aha!" The king spurred his horse to a gallop, the rest of the party just behind. Ganondorf quickly found himself bringing up the rear.

The stallion seemed to find this as unacceptable as he did, for without his urging it picked up speed, long strides eating up the ground until the pair were level with the king once more.

(This bit started with the rest of the hunting party giving G-dawg mad shit for insisting on riding his stallion instead of a more appropriate horse, so I had to vindicate him, of course.)

Ganondorf’s eyes were now fixed on the boar. He crouched low over the stallion’s neck, free hand fisted in the tangles of its mane. They pulled ahead to run with the dogs, until even the dogs were falling behind them.

"Stay with it!" The king’s bellow carried over the thunder of the stallion’s hooves. "Keep running it!”

They ran. The boar was fast and nimble, leading a chase through dense copses and over fast-flowing streams. The world fell away until all that remained was the path they weaved through the trees, the rolling strength of the horse beneath him, the forest rushing by in a blur of green and loamy brown, and the boar.

Ganondorf laughed like a child, his heart light for first time since he’d come to this impossibly green land.

The chase ended when the boar made to leap over a fallen log and could not clear it, tumbling end over end. The beast scrambled to its hooves, brandishing its long tusks. It had reached the point of exhaustion, steam rising from its hide, muscles quivering with exertion. It could run no longer.

Ganondorf held it at bay, keeping the point of his spear trained on it. He did not wish to incite it to charge and risk his horse. He simply looked at it, watching the boar watch him with wide, red eyes. Foam gathered at its mouth, and he wondered whether it would die where it stood, if its heart had burst in its chest.

The baying of the dogs was not far off. The hunters were closing in.

(Still a little puffed up over the juxtaposition of hunting being legitimately thrilling but cruel. Catch my bro getting swept up in the excitement.)

“Excellent work!" Daphnes was at the head of the party, as he had been to start. "Oh, well done, man!”

As the dogs circled, barking and snapping, the boar stood its ground, head lowered. It made a few feints at the dogs foolish enough to attack, but as the hunters closed in it had less and less room to manoeuvre. Ganondorf could see it rallying for a final effort, weariness flowing into terror and rage.

It roared, lunging, scattering the dogs. Blood streaked its tusks. A horse reared when its leg was cut by sharp hooves. For a moment, it looked to Ganondorf as though it might break away again and escape.

In one practiced motion, Daphnes leapt from his horse and sunk his spear deep into the boar’s side.

Ganondorf’s racing heart froze. Pain keener than any he had ever felt lanced through him, choking him on a silent cry. He clutched at his chest, groping for the spear-head that wasn’t there. His own spear fell from numb fingers to the forest floor. Terror and agony, all-encompassing, swept over him in a crushing wave.

None of the other hunters noticed his distress. All eyes were locked on their king’s struggle with the beast. The boar screamed, running against the spear as if it would happily run the length of it to reach Daphnes with its final breath. The cross-tree of the spear and the strength of the man wielding it kept the boar’s tusks far from its target, however, and for every drop of blood that spilled from its side a portion of its strength bled away with it.

After what felt far too long, the boar collapsed. It’s screams had faded to rattling breaths, and when Daphnes stepped forward, knife drawn, it did not resist.

It was on Ganondorf that its red eyes rested when its throat was cut, in some mute accusation or seeking solace, he could not say. The pain in his chest receded when the final gout of blood ran out onto the dark earth. By the time Daphnes stood from his task, wiping his hands and blade clean on a rag, Ganondorf might have believed that the pain had been a trick of his imagination.

(This thing with the dead boar was meant to keep coming up in small ways throughout the rest of the vignettes as a harbinger of G-dawg’s ultimate failure and doom along with being an illustration of how he twists and suppresses himself for the sake of pleasing Daphnes, but of course it’ll probably never happen now since I’m five years out. I really did like this idea, though, and this scene was super fun to write. Except for now I’ve noticed another old typo. T_T)

21. The fic that got away? Lots; I actually have a horrible track record for finishing long fics. The one I’m most bummed out by, that I still think of from time to time, was actually a fill for the old Transformers Anonymous Kink Meme on LJ. It was Animated-verse pre-war Ratchet/Ultra Magnus with a detour into Ratchet/Megatron. I was about two thirds of the way done when something happened in the community that I can’t recall anymore derailed me, and I never ended up finishing it. Sometimes I think about scraping it off the meme to at least archive what I had done on Ao3 or something, but I probably won’t lol. It would take forever to track it down since this was back in like, 2012.

FE3H x LoZ Part 2

Hi again! It’s been a while but here are some things I’ve come up with since the last post I sent. I hope you enjoy!

THE CHURCH OF HYLIA

I’m still debating upon whethere there will be a fourth route that focuses on the Church of Hylia, so I won’t touch upon the leader of the Church yet (but if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to bring them up!) The following characters are faculty and staff at the Officer’s Academy, and they are all recruitable.

Byleth - So it’s come to my attention that a huge part of the narrative in Three Houses comes from Byleth. Therefore, I’m going to include Byleth in this AU! It feels kind of wrong especially since this blog has given them so much characterization that I feel they without a doubt belong to Three Houses, but the story needs something to drive it forward (one example being Byleth has to choose a house). Unlike Three Houses, however, there won’t be a super big focus on their origins. Sothis isn’t in this AU, after all, so Byleth will just be a normal mercenary who becomes the new professor by chance. I suppose you could say that Byleth is much more of a Mark than a Corrin here in terms of involvement, though they still can have supports with the other characters. Also, they have pointy ears to match everyone else.

Jeralt - Good news: Jeralt is alive for the story this time! Throughout the story he acts as a source of wisdom for Byleth, and eventually gets closer to the house leader and does that for them, too.

Telma - a healer from Hyrule who serves as a professor and the school physician. She really wants a man, and almost always has some kind of dating problems. However, she is very motherly and excellent at her job. Her favorite hobby is making cocktails (which help her drink her worries away) but she doesn’t make any for the students until post-timeskip. Strengths: Faith, Riding, Authority

Kass - he was a traveling bard in his youth but eventually became a full-time professor. He is known for giving profound yet mysterious advice. He has taken Medli under his wing (pun intended) as a musical apprentice. Strengths: Axe, Flying

Robbie - the training instructor at the Officer’s Academy. Known for his flashy battle moves. He has an interest in tinkering and mechanical work. Possesses close ties to the royal family of Hyrule. Strengths: Sword, Lance, Axe

Orca - a general in the Knights of Hylia. One of the oldest knights. He is strict and has a commanding presence over the other knights, and has risen to his position because of his renowned strategic prowess. Strengths: Sword, Lance, Authority

Linebeck - a rather lazy soldier in the Knights of Hylia. He is often being lectured by for his lack of effort. Has a habit of taking credit for achievements that he didn’t contribute to. Strengths: Sword, Brawl, Heavy Armor

Osfala - a former scholar who is now a field physician in the Knights of Hylia. He is a graduate of the Officer’s Academy. Quite prickly, but very attentive and quick-minded on the battlefield. Strengths: Bow, Faith

Irene - a mage in the Knights of Hylia. She is a graduate of the Officer’s Academy. She is not devout to the Church of Hylia, but she took the job in order to help those in need (though she would never admit it). Strengths: Reason, Flying

Makar - a noble child born out of an affair and taken in as a servant of the Church. He can often be found tending to the greenhouse, his favorite place in the monastery. Somewhat absentminded, but always wants to do his best. Strengths: Lance, Faith, Flying

ROUTES

Before we begin, I’d like to announce that the name of the monastery is the Great Plateau Monastery! It’s named after the plateau it sits on, which is in the center of the continent. Its high cliffs act as a natural barrier against any skirmishes that happen on the borders of the nations.

This is mostly just a general summary of each route rather than going chapter by chapter.

Part 1: Clear Skies

Jeralt and Byleth save three children (Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf) from a bandit attack.

Linebeck arrives on the scene and thanks the mercenaries for their work… because he didn’t have to do anything!

It is revealed that Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf are students at the Officer’s Academy and heirs to their respective nations. Linebeck escorts them, as well as Byleth and Jeralt, back to the Great Plateau Monastery.

The mercenaries are recommended to the Church of Hylia: Jeralt as a Knight and Byleth as a professor. Byleth meets the students and selects a house to teach.

Byleth leads their house on various mock battles and real missions, while also using their status as professor to teach and train their students. The students also bond with one another, even mingling with the other houses – the three house leaders are notably close.

During one mission, Byleth and the students are tasked with protecting the monastery from an army led by an assassin known as Sheik. It is at this point where they begin to suspect that there is a bigger conspiracy at work.

Zelda later reveals that Sheik is a phantom that she controls in order to collect information and lead assaults while maintaining her identity as a student. She accuses the Church of hiding the truth from the world, and before she can elaborate, she escapes.

If Byleth has chosen the Azure Owls, they follow Zelda and she explains that there is a prophecy that has been erased from history by the Church, in which the three nations are caught in an eternal cycle of war and hatred over the Triforce Crests. She has learned that Ganondorf, as the bearer of the Crest of Demise, will wage war that will destroy the continent in the future, and she intends to stop that from happening as soon as possible.

If Byleth has chosen the Azure Owls, they join Zelda and siege the Great Plateau Monastery in order to make it a new base of operations for the Kingdom army. If Byleth has chosen the Crimson Boars or Verdant Wolves, they join their students and the Knights of Hylia in defending the monastery.

Regardless of which house they chose, Byleth is knocked unconscious during the battle, and wakes up five years later. The Kingdom, Empire and Alliance are at war with each other, just as the prophecy stated.

Part 2: Relentless Rain (Azure Owls / Kingdom of Hyrule)

Byleth returns to the monastery, where they reunite with Zelda and the Azure Owls. They learn that the Gerudo Empire has allied with the Church of Hylia – though they have different goals, they both oppose the Kingdom – while the Ordon Alliance remains neutral, but is struggling to prevent internal conflict.

The Gerudo Empire invades Kingdom territory, but to everyone’s surprise the Alliance arrives as well, resulting in a three-way battle. There are heavy losses on all sides, with the Alliance army especially damaged.

Zelda’s first plan of action is to eliminate the Alliance while it is still vulnerable. The Kingdom army storms the Alliance capital and though Link is there as the last line of defense, he surrenders upon defeat.

The Kingdom army continues to advance into Empire territory. The Knights of Hylia guard a vital fortress in one last stand, but are defeated.

Zelda and Byleth arrange a secret meeting with Ganondorf in hopes of obtaining more answers about the prophecy, which Ganondorf has learned about in the past five years. When they confront him, they see how much his mind has deteriorated, and they are ambushed by soldiers of the Yiga Clan. Zelda and Byleth are forced to retreat.

Zelda admits that she had worked with the Yiga Clan as Sheik in the past, partially to obtain information about the resurrection of the Demon King and partially to gain their aid in taking down the Church. However, since their goal is to unleash the Demon King, she plans to target them as well.

The Kingdom army arrives at the capital and sieges the imperial palace. Ganondorf has fully lost his sanity and exhausts all of his troops in order to try and overwhelm Zelda. He is defeated, but in a last-ditch effort he uses his Crest in order to transform into a Demonic Beast, Beast Ganon.

Zelda and Byleth defeat Beast Ganon. Zelda briefly mourns that of all people, the Crest of Demise happened to take hold of her friend. However, she is reassured that she has restored peace to the continent. Link steps down from leadership of the Alliance and becomes a lone traveler. The three nations unify into the Great Kingdom of Hyrule, and Zelda ascends as its first queen. She heralds an era of peace and harmony while turning her attention to tracking down the remains of the Yiga Clan.

Part 2: Roaring Thunder (Crimson Boars / Gerudo Empire)

Byleth returns to the fallen Great Plateau Monastery and encounters Ganondorf, who is continuing to grow unstable. He laments that he hears voices and has visions urging him down the path of evil. The two reunite with the rest of the Crimson Boars and claim the monastery as their base.

Ganondorf forces a sudden battle between the armies of the Empire, Kingdom, and Alliance. All three armies are hit extremely hard.

Link arrives at the monastery alone to talk to Ganondorf as a friend rather than an opponent. He urges Ganondorf to stop the war with him so they can live in peace as they did before. In a fit of blind rage, Ganondorf loses control of his own actions and murders Link.

Ganondorf realizes that he needs to locate the source of the darkness within him before he can cause any more damage. However, he must convince Zelda to stop the war, so the imperial army continues its advance into Kingdom territory.

The rest of the Verdant Wolves lead the Alliance army into battle, desiring vengeance for the murder of their friend and leader. Ganondorf is forced to defeat them in order to advance.

The imperial army arrives at the Kingdom capital, where Zelda faces them in one final stand. She refuses to yield, as she believes that her mission to eliminate Ganondorf is the only way to prevent further conflict. Ganondorf regretfully defeats her, and in her dying breath she says to “beware the eye of the Yiga.”

Byleth and Ganondorf obtain a posthumous letter from Impa, which details all of the information Zelda has collected about the reincarnation cycle, and Ganondorf learns of his true nature as the reborn Demise, the Demon King of ancient history. The Yiga Clan are a cult that seeks to revive Demise and bring forth the apocalypse, and the letter includes directions to their hidden base.

The imperial army storms the Yiga Clan Hideout, but in the chaos Ganondorf is restrained by the Yiga. They use their powers to extract the Crest of Demise from his body, and from the Crest’s power Demise is fully revived.

Byleth and Ganondorf engage in one final battle against the origin of evil itself, the Demon King Demise. Upon defeating him, the curse is broken permanently and Ganondorf is freed from its hold.

Ganondorf takes his rightful place as the King of the Gerudo Empire, and eventually repairs relations with the Kingdom and Alliance. He visits the Great Plateau Monastery, where Link is buried, the day before his coronation, and says a prayer for all of his friends who had fallen in the war. He is renowned centuries into the future as the catalyst who laid the continent’s demons to eternal rest.

Part 2: Shining Sun (Verdant Wolves / Ordon Alliance)

Byleth returns to the Great Plateau Monastery and reunites with Link, who has been hopeful for their return. Together they meet up with the other Verdant Wolves and rally their troops at the monastery, which has become their new base.

SIDE NOTE: in this route, Link has the option to recruit any units who were not recruited in part 1 if he approaches them in battle.

The Alliance army advances into the Kingdom, but are stopped by the Zelda and the Kingdom army. Ganondorf and his troops also arrive, resulting in a three-way battle. All three armies are forced to fall back, and Link decides to travel along the border between the Empire and Kingdom in order to avoid more ambushes.

Link confesses that as a commoner who ascended to leadership, he has always been treated as an outsider. His dream is to rebuild the continent into a place where everyone is treated equally, and where the bigotry and discrimination between social classes and nations is abolished. This is why his goal is to end the war in its entirety and unite all three nations.

The Alliance army is attacked by the Yiga Clan, which is when Byleth and Link first learn of the cult’s existence.

Before departing from the border and heading into Kingdom territory, the Alliance army faces Ganondorf and the imperial army one more time. Cia is particularly conflicted about her loyalties, and if Link recruits her during the battle, Ganondorf calls in reinforcements that surround them completely. Link is forced to defeat Ganondorf in order to proceed, and in Ganondorf’s last moments, Link promises to bring peace to the continent. (Though Link is not aware of the prophecy, he unknowingly fulfilled it by defeating Ganondorf.)

The Alliance battles its way through the Kingdom until it reaches the capital. Zelda refuses to hear Link’s pleas to cease the war, and the Kingdom engages the Alliance in battle. Midway through, she calls upon the Yiga Clan, and they arrive as reinforcements. Byleth and Link are able to endure and come out victorious, defeating both the Kingdom and the Yiga.

Zelda survives, but is exiled out of the continent. The three nations are united into the Hylian Alliance, and Link becomes its first ruler. Link is still upset over losing Zelda and Ganondorf, but makes sure to honor them by making his reign a just and noble one thats brings the Alliance into a golden age. He is remembered as a progressive leader who utilized his kindness and generosity in order to bring together people from all walks of life.

CRESTS

I’ve decided that Crests and Relics are also in this AU! Here are all of the ones that appear in this universe.

There are four crests that are not passed on by bloodline: the Triforce Crests (Din, Nayru, Farore) and the Crest of Demise. These are the oldest Crests; they can manifest in anyone regardless of status, but appear very rarely. The Triforce Crests are capable of manifesting in someone who already has another Crest, and they won’t have any negative effects, unlike what is shown in Three Houses. The Crest of Demise is a different story.

Din - one of the Triforce Crests, also known as the Crest of Power. Its Hero Relic is the Mirror Shield. Bearers: Ganondorf (minor)

Nayru - one of the Triforce Crests, also known as the Crest of Wisdom. Its Hero Relic is the Bow of Light. Bearers: Zelda (minor)

Farore - one of the Triforce Crests, also known as the Crest of Courage. Its Hero Relic is the Master Sword. Bearers: Link (major)

Demise - an ancient Crest named after the Demon King who bore it. Bearers of this Crest eventually lose their sanity and gain an unquenchable bloodlust. Its Hero Relic is the Demon Trident. Bearers: Ganondorf (major)

Hylia - a Crest that is usually found in members of the royal family of Hyrule. Its Hero Relic is the Goddess Sword. Bearers: Zelda (major), Fi (minor)

Nabooru - a Crest that comes from one of the first warrior heroes of the Gerudo Empire. Its Hero Relic is the Scimitar of the Seven. Bearers: Urbosa (minor)

Kakariko - a Crest that originates from Hyrule. Its Hero Relic is the Sahasrahla Staff. Bearers: Osfala (minor), Robbie (minor)

Holodrum - a Crest that originates from Gerudo. Its Hero Relic is the Golden Gauntlets. Bearers: Onox (minor)

Zora - a Crest that originates from Hyrule. Its Hero Relic is the Lightscale Trident. Bearers: Ruto (major), Mipha (minor)

Lokomo - a Crest that originates from Ordon. Its Hero Relic is the Light Force Gem. Bearers: Byrne (minor)

Goron - a Crest that originates from Hyrule. Its Hero Relic is the Boulder Breaker. Bearers: Daruk (minor)

Rito - a Crest that originates from Hyrule. Its Hero Relic is the Harpstring Axe. Bearers: Revali (minor), Medli (minor)

Kokiri - a Crest that originates from Ordon. Its Hero Relic is the Fairy Bow. Bearers: Saria (minor), Makar (minor)

Twili - known in Hyrule as the Interloper’s Crest. The first bearer of this Crest left the continent and founded the kingdom of Twili, and it is only found in members of the Twili royal family. Its Hero Relic is the Twilight Spear. Bearers: Midna (major)

NEW CLASSES

These are some classes that I would’ve liked to see in Three Houses, so I wrote them down because it makes sense for certain characters. Also, the house leaders have their own Lord classes.

Dark Flier - a wyvern rider who uses lances and reason. I imagine this to be Midna’s canon class.

Holy Flier - a pegasus rider who uses axes and faith. I imagine this to be Cia’s and Medli’s canon class.

Blade Scion - an infantry unit who uses swords, lances, and gauntlets. I imagine this to be Impa’s and Groose’s canon class.

Goddess Knight - a horse rider who uses bows and reason. This is Zelda’s advanced class.

Holy Queen - a horse rider who uses bows and reason. This is Zelda’s master class.

Radiant Knight - a horse rider who uses swords and faith. This is Link’s advanced class.

Legendary Hero - a horse rider who uses swords and faith. This is Link’s master class.

King of Thieves - an infantry unit who uses lances, gauntlets, and reason. This is Ganondorf’s advanced class.

Demon King - an infantry unit who uses lances, gauntlets, and reason. This is Ganondorf’s master class and Demise’s only class.

OTHER NOTES

I forgot to mention in my last post that Shad is also a Crest researcher, so he’s basically Linhardt but without the sleepy.

Pre-timeskip, Zelda has shorter (BotW2) hair, Link has a ponytail (BotW), and Ganondorf has short (OoT) hair. Post-timeskip, Zelda has long (BotW) hair, Link has short (TP) hair, and Ganondorf has long (HW) hair.

Zant is Midna’s adoptive brother, so he is from Twili, but not of royal heritage. He hates Midna because she is the true heir to the throne but seemingly takes it for granted and does not take her responsibilities seriously. Upon enrolling at the Officer’s Academy, both of them were members of the Crimson Boars, but Midna transferred to the Verdant Wolves after meeting and befriending Link prior to the events of the story.

The equivalent of the Death Knight is Cherry. Yes, Robbie’s ancient oven Cherry. She can create Ancient Arrows at will, so she’s basically the definition of a scary unit.

I’m in love with the Link’s Awakening remake and I wanted to include Marin in this AU somehow so, so badly, but she’s basically Malon + Medli, so it seems a bit redundant. Just know that I love Marin with my whole heart.

RvB Character’s SSBU Mains

BGC CREW ---------------- Church: Sonic main. Is convinced that playing as Sonic is "meta" and that somehow it means he's a pro. Sore loser. Swearing and screaming the entire match, even if he's winning. Caboose: Kirby/Incineroar main. People tend to leave him alone during matches because he seems unskilled/too sweet, but if he gets his hands on you you're fucked. Tucker: Classic Link main. Has mastered bombs, up B, and nothing else. He'd be better at the game if he focused on fighting rather than flirting. Sister: Pikachu/Isabelle main. Down B is life as Pikachu. Closest of the BGC to pro other than Tex. You think she'd be flirting but she's here to win. Abuses the Isabelle glitch for as long as she can. Tex: Dark Samus/Falco main. Will backhand you if you mention Zero Suit Samus. Is a pro but also a show off in the most subtle of ways. Is the only one who's beaten Carolina and she's way too proud of it. Sarge: Bowser/Ridley main. Suicides as Bowser and side B's himself to death constantly as Ridley. Will complain that there's "too many fighters" and mutter about how he misses the N64 version (despite not maining any of those characters). 1v1’s Grif and loses every time. Simmons: Chrom/Roy main. "Roy's our boy!" Can't get himself back on the map to save his life. Waits for everyone to thin themselves out before swooping in to finish them off. Gets mad when Grif mistakes which character he is. Grif: Wario/Yoshi main. Plays Wario when he's just goofing around, but he'll switch to Yoshi if you piss him off/challenge him. Used to be pro but hated how competitive it was. Typically takes second or third place in full BGC matches, but almost always first in Red Team matches. Donut: Peach/Kirby main. Can play fairly well on most of the characters but he loves Peach the most. Has mastered charge attacks but rarely uses them. Side B is life as Peach. Endless vore jokes as Kirby. Lopez: ROB main. Would be a lot better if he gave a damn, but he's typically just a stand-in player. If left alone, he'll rewire his controller into something else entirely. Hogs items. Can't land his FS for shit.

Doc: Dr. Mario/Mr. Game & Watch main. Pretends to think that the game is too violent but secretly loves it. An unforgiving monster as G&W. Sucks as Dr. Mario but refuses to give up on him. If he gets an item run away at all costs. FREELANCERS ---------------------- Carolina: Fox/Zero Suit Samus main. Primary plays Fox but will switch to ZS Samus for shits and giggles. Is impossible to get off the map and will bully you into a corner. Hates items. Will get pissed if killed by items. Washington: Villager/Wolf main. Only mained Wolf in PFL, now he plays as the Villager because he finds it fun. Absolute monster if he's put into a small space with someone. Can switch to Random and still get in the top three. York: Duck Hunt/Pit main. Is just here to have a good time/troll. Loves when items are on. Spams his FS and always gets someone with it. Actually not that great with his A moves but he still gets by. Maine: King Dedede/Meta Knight main. Cannot believe no one got the Meta joke until it was too late. Terrible in the air but terrifying on the ground. Hogs all the items. Mad that no one wants to play with Spirits on. North: Ice Climbers main. Never loses his other ice climber. Will throw himself off the map if he loses his other ice climber. Arguably the least aggressive player but he's still fairly good. Misses when his main was OP back in Melee. South: Bayonetta main. You know why she mains her. Fucking incredible with her side attacks but falls off the map a lot. Doesn't pay attention to surroundings. Will deck you irl for spamming items. CT: Sheik/Snake/Greninja main. Loves the "stealth" characters even though there's no stealth. Hides for most of the game before jumping in at the end, only to lose. If she goes down, you're coming with her. Wyoming: Ryu/Snake main. Hates the game but hates sharing a main with CT even more. Spams aerial moves until he accidentally falls off the map. Fairly decent aim, but still can't land a single FS.

Florida: Wii Fit Trainer/Pac-Man main. Terrible at getting back on the map but even worse at melee fighting. Is arguably the worst at this game but the scary shit he says while playing keeps anyone from saying anything about it. CHORUS KIDS --------------------- Felix: Bowser Jr/Shulk main. Insufferable asshole who targets whoever's losing and destroys them. Lands FSs without even trying. Tried going pro but got banned from all the tournaments. Locus: King K Rool/Lucario main. Really fucking good at the game because it's all he plays. Has unlocked all the spirits. Refuses to use spirits. Waits until there’s only one person left so he can 1v1 them. Kimball: Palutena/Samus main. Is here to have a good time. Didn’t grow up with a lot of video games but she’s still fairly good. Enjoys ganging up on Doyle. Can actually take Carolina in a fight but doesn’t want to.

Doyle: Luigi main. Has never once played a video game but is still reasonably okay. Runs away at the first sign of a FS. Spams items out of fear. Humble loser.

Dr. Grey: Jigglypuff main. Acts like a cryptid for a majority of the match (you only see her when she’s grabbing items). Manages to catch everyone- even in an eight player free for all- with her FS. Worryingly quiet.

Palomo: Captain Olimar/Young Link main. Isn’t even good with YL but he wanted to match Tucker’s main (much to Tucker’s annoyance). Terrible at refreshing his Pikmin stock. Brags hardcore when he wins (not that it happens a lot).

Jensen: Daisy/Lucas main. You’d think she’d take it easy on people but she goes for the kill. Unabashedly goes for Palomo out of anger and spite. Do not test her. Forgets to use her FS despite being reminded that she has her’s ready.

Smith: Mario/Pokemon Trainer main. Doesn’t care that Mario’s FS is shit, he’s here to have fun. Will back off if he’s wailing on someone too hard. Cries on the inside when his Pokemon are knocked out as PT.

Bitters: Ness/Mewtwo main. The best out of the Chorus Kids, it isn’t even much of a competition anymore. Loves taking on Grif and/or Carolina because it’s a challenge. Sometimes shows off but he earned it tbh.

Matthews: Kirby/Little Mac main. Just here to have fun. Will hide by Bitters even if it’s not a team match. Side B’s to his death as LM. Really good with items and cries when Bitters won’t turn them on.

BONUS EXTRAS ------------------------

The Director: Mario/Cloud main. Only playing because Carolina guilt-tripped him into it. Gets upset when he can’t figure out where he is in a crowded brawl. Is decent at the game because Allison made him play the older versions back in the day, but still not great. Yells a lot.

The Counselor: Mega Man main. Only plays MM because he recognizes him. Refuses to switch despite sucking as MM. If he lands a FS he gets way too proud about it. Low-key threatens to fire any Freelancer who really gangs up on him.

The Chairman: Ganondorf main. Hates this game more than anything else. Is infuriatingly slow and even when he reaches someone, he forgets to attack/misses. Doesn’t know how to FS and everyone hates him too much to explain it. Rage quits.

Sharkface: Inkling main. Blue Inkling all the way. Keeps forgetting to reload his ink. Stays as a squid and hops around the entire game. Surprisingly wholesome and has more fun than anyone else playing, despite never winning. Paints people blue and laughs.

Vic: ??? Random main. Talks non-stop the entire game and it’s the most infuriating thing. Wonderful at recovery, even on characters with shit recovery. FSs way too much.

((I’m fine with constructive criticism, but this was all made in good fun, so please don’t flip out about who plays who too much. Please note that I’m not caught up. I’ve only seen up to RvB13 and a few RvB14 episodes, but not many. Feel free to add future characters. Hope you all enjoy this!))

Legend of Zelda Lore Tips

So I’ve seen a lot of people confused about how the Legend of Zelda series works in terms of lore. So I’m here to set you straight! You can find the whole thing under the cut.

1: Reincarnation

Despite what most people think, reincarnation only happens once in the Zelda series, during Four Swords Adventure, where Ganondorf is reincarnated as... himself, basically. Thanks to Skyward Sword, we now know:

* Link does not reincarnate, ever. He bears the Spirit of the Hero, some esoteric trait that is passed on from hero to hero, which may just be the approval of Hylia herself. This sometimes carries through his bloodline, but not always. Furthermore, the Spirit of the Hero can be both destroyed, and remade, as seen in The Wind Waker, where Link is not the chosen hero, but a normal child who made himself into the hero. That said, Links usually share some traits, such as having a love of food and sleep. But, as shown in Twilight Princess, they are all different people.

* Hylia does not reincarnate, ever. After the first Zelda died, Hylia returned to her status as a full goddess. Her descendants, the various Princess Zeldas throughout the series, don’t reincarnate either. Every Princess Zelda after the first one (who was the goddess hylia in a mortal body) is a demigod, a mortal descended from a god. Their power comes from this connection to Hylia. Furthermore, as evidenced in the first two Zelda games, it is tradition for the Hyrule Royal Family to name their firstborn daughter Zelda- the Zelda in The Adventure of Link is the aunt of the Zelda from the first game.

* Demise does not reincarnate either. His incarnations bear not his soul or spirit, but his hatred. His “incarnations” are essentially just people whose hearts were corrupted by hatred or evil.

* Ganondorf, as I stated earlier, only reincarnates once. Every other time, he is sealed away, typically returning after his power is regained.

2: The Curse

Despite what many believe, Demise did not lay down a curse after being defeated in Skyward Sword. Fi says as much, his power was gone. Rather, he laid down a prophecy, which he infused with what power he had left to influence, that his hatred would continue on in others, and they would continue to plague Hylia’s descendants and their champions for all eternity.

3: Ganondorf

Despite popular belief, Ganondorf is not Demise’s reincarnation. Neither was he unduly influenced by the prophecy/curse. Rather, Ganondorf was merely an exceptional man born into evil. He is the child of Twinrova, a fusion between two ancient and evil Gerudo witches, and as such, he inherited much of their power. And because they raised him, he became evil. His origin story is no more complex than that; he was simply a man born into power and evil, who happened to fulfill the conditions for the prophecy due to the hatred in his heart.

The only reason Ganondorf has lasted for so long is because he was the only villain to truly grasp even a fraction of the Triforce, which is itself creation given form. By taking the Triforce of Power for himself, his magic and strength were increased to ridiculous levels, causing him to be all but incapable of dying to anything but divine power.

He dies a total of three times across the series- once in A Link to the Past, once in the Oracle games, and once during Twilight Princess. In every other game in which he appears, Ganondorf is never killed, only sealed away.

However, it is clear that, by the time Breath of the Wild takes place, Ganondorf has become a force of nature, and lost what humanity he had left; he is a monster, a miasma of evil energy. This is likely due to him repeatedly dying, as seen in the Downfall Timeline- each time Ganon is resurrected, he loses a small piece of his mind, until he’s completely mindless in Link Between Worlds, used as a puppet by the real final boss to grant them extra power.

4: Timelines

The series is divided into four timelines: a unified timeline beginning with Skyward Sword and ending with Ocarina of Time, and then three new timelines spawned from OoT’s events: the downfall timeline, the child timeline, and the adult timeline. However, the timeline itself is largely just made up after the fact, and aside from a few games, most aren’t made with continuity in mind.

The Downfall Timeline is where Ganondorf defeats Link in their final battle, and a war is raged between the awakened sages and Ganondorf, ending with Ganon being sealed away in the Sacred Realm as a last resort. After spending an unknown amount of time in the sacred realm, Ganondorf’s power transforms it into the Dark Realm, a land of demons and monsters. In this timeline, Hyrule is in a constant state of decline due to Ganondorf’s influence, with monsters becoming more and more common even when Ganondorf isn’t around, to the point where it generally isn’t safe to venture outside by the time the original game comes along.

The Child Timeline is one where Ganondorf’s influence is never truly allowed to spread. However, this also causes Hyrule to slowly lose its magic, and to slowly grow more dependent on technology. By the time Twilight Princess comes along, magic is all but unheard of outside of divinity and the royal family; similarly, the Sheikah, ancient magical protectors of Hylia and her descendants, are all but gone, with only one Sheikah remaining, Impaz. However, it seems to make a small return once Four Swords Adventures comes along, as the four Links find various magical tools and items to help them on their journey. That said, it’s obvious that Four Swords Adventure was just tacked on to the Child Timeline because it didn’t fit anywhere else. Furthermore, Twilight Princess only happens because of how Link was sent into the past; by holding the Triforce of Courage in the future, Link accidentally created a time paradox, which caused himself, Zelda, and Ganondorf to each hold their triforce pieces in the new timeline despite not having split the triforce yet.

The Adult Timeline is a unique one. Hyrule is subjected to Ganon’s reign, but he is defeated by Link. Link is then sent back in time by Zelda, creating the Child Timeline, but the Adult Timeline still exists- and it is without a hero. Link is nowhere to be found, and the creation goddesses instead lead the peoples of Hyrule to the tops of mountains, before flooding it underneath a great sea. Ganondorf is sealed away underneath the ocean, inside the remnants of Hyrule, trapped in a bubble of time as the world moves on. However, Ganondorf’s power was not fully trapped, and he managed to escape after untold years to once more wreak havoc. After he is defeated in the Wind Waker, Link and Tetra move on to explore the world, eventually coming across a continent, which they rename New Hyrule. In this New Hyrule, magic and technology flourish in tandem, causing a technological boom; magical trains become the standard method of transportation, and the royal family itself sponsors it all. However, this land is home to an ancient evil which was sealed away long ago by the Lokomo tribe, a demon king named Malladus; the train tracks that New Hyrule relies on are actually chains which bind Malladus’s prison, which existed long before the people even arrived on that continent.

Finally, there’s Breath of the Wild, which has a unique problem of not really fitting into any of the timelines. It contains elements from every series, and was intentionally created separate from the rest of the series, likely in order to help further separate it from the rest of the series. Breath of the Wild contains many timeline-specific things, including:

* The Rito, which only existed in the Adult Timeline, and which were Zora transformed by the power of a minor god. Some argue that these Rito are not the same due to the difference in design, but the fact remains that they consider Medli to be one of their own, to the point of naming Vah Medoh after her- thus, these Rito must be descended from the Rito of Wind Waker.

* The Sea Zora, which only existed in the Child Timeline. They were transformed into the Rito in the Adult timeline, and were transformed into the monstrous River Zora in the Downfall Timeline. Some people defend them by saying that these Zora are relatively new to the region, but the fact remains that they consider Princess Ruto to be one of their own, to the point where Vah Ruta is named after her; thus, these Zora must be descended from the same Zora found in Ocarina of Time.

* Goponga Island, Kanalet Ridge, Mabe Village Ruins, Martha's Landing, Tal Tal Peak, Tabhal Woods, Ukuku Plains, and Koholit Rock, all of which areas named after places on Koholint Island, in Link’s Awakening, which itself took place on the Downfall Timeline. And Koholint Island is itself not a real place, but rather the dream of the Wind Fish, a place that is presumably never seen in any of the other timelines.

* Linebeck Island, named after a character in Phantom Hourglass, of the Adult Timeline.

* Lulu Lake, Mikau Lake, and Toto Lake, named after characters in Majora’s Mask, which takes place in the Child Timeline.

* Mount Daphnes, named after the King of Hyrule in The Wind Waker.

* Ralis Pond, named after the Zora Prince in Twilight Princess, in the Child Timeline.

* The Tunic of the Wild, which most resembles the clothing of the Downfall Timeline links.

* Vah Medoh, named after Medli (named Medori in the original Japanese), the Sage of Earth in The Wind Waker, found only in the Adult Timeline.

As such, it can be said that Breath of the Wild takes place in a New Unified Timeline, where elements from all timelines existed.

The Ganondorf Conspiracy

So, to preface, almost 2/3 of this whole rant and theory has headcanon injected into it. Very few of the claims i make are true to the series and many are even refutable. I’m just making good on the promise of a Ganondorf theory post that i made in a Breath of the Wild review i made. It should be apparent but I’ll put it here, SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE ZELDA SERIES!!!

All of the headcanon goodness is below the cut.

SO, lets start with the big question that the majority of the Ganon/Ganondorf fandom asked before, during, and after BotW; Where is Ganondorf? Well, the answer is simple, he’s dead. But the question we should be asking is who is Ganon and what is he without Ganondorf? Well the only way to understand Ganon, is to understand where his power comes from, when he shows, and who Ganondorf is. We start at the beginning of Ganons history, his first chronological appearance in the timeline, Ocarina of Time.

In OOT, Ganondorf, once thought to be defeated, bursts from the rubble of his castle and transforms into a beast that is, as a whole, much slower, tougher, and yet more vulnerable than his human form. This is Ganon. A beast, an animal, a force of nature that is easy to defeat but hard, if not impossible, to contain. But where does all this power come from? “Well” i hear the obvious answer, “The Triforce of power, no?” Well yes, the power must come from the goddesses gift but why is it gifted to a man of evil? And more importantly, why does it transform him into a monster?

What is the moral of Ganondorf’s story, if i may be so bold as to answer questions with questions? Power corrupts all. It’s a story about how power can corrupt even the purest of intentions. Now when I say that, I don’t just mean power corrupts just people; power corrupts all, or everything. I believe that the triforce, given by the goddesses as it was, was not infallible and its Power side was corrupted by its own power. We see the autonomy of the triforce first hand, choosing when to appear, choosing the next bearer, granting wishes, so it does make sense that the triforce of power was corrupted even before Ganondorf claimed it in OOT. So, the triforce of power not only chose Ganondorf because he is powerful but because he was the only one who could further the triforces own quest for more power!

Let’s go off the timeline for a second into Twilight Princess. The triforce of power shows its full autonomy here as it saves Ganondorf’s life as he’s executed because it knew that his anger and power could further its own. But at the end when he’s stabbed with the master sword and can no longer carry out the triforce’s wishes, it leaves him, abandons him. Ganondorf dies not because the hero stopped him, but because the triforce realized that it was not going to get what it wanted in the vessel of Ganondorf. Whatever next game that comes out in that timeline, it will not have Ganon or Ganondorf because the gerudo king is well and truly dead.

Back to the adult timeline, the Ganon we see in OOT is his first appearance. He’s uncoordinated, easily incapacitated, and is pretty much an easier fight than Ganondorf himself was. This Ganon is controlling Ganondorf, transforming from his body, and destroying whatever the man was to begin with. Fast forward to Wind Waker and the Ganon we see is depicted as a puppet. Now here is where we not only see the character development for Ganondorf but we see his relationship with his power, gift, and even other form change. He is older, stronger, wiser, and he has learned how to control the incredible power inside him. Ganon no longer controls him, no longer transforms his body, no longer bends Ganondorf to its will. Now Ganon and the triforce of power is Ganondorf’s puppet, a strategic piece in the overall plan he is executing. it took a few hundred years but it was finally in reach, the triforce would bring back his people, his home, his family and friends. This is what he means by “Give Hyrule to me!” He doesnt want to rule Hyrule, he wants to see Hyrule returned to its former state when the Gerudo were alive and thriving. But King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule stole that from him when he ordered the land banished beneath the waves.

The triforce, having fulfilled its purpose given to it by the goddesses, floats away and disappears beyond the sky. Ganondorf now has only one emotion, rage. The pure unbridled rage that had just filled Ganondorf is enough to make him attack the children with every intention to kill. His strength, agility, and even physically intimidating presence bolstered after spending centuries perfecting his control over the power inside him. And then a boy clad in green buries the master sword into his head and Ganondorf is released. He is released of his rage as he will soon be with his lost people, he is free of the monster he is always in danger of becoming, and he is most importantly free of the cycle of failure that the triforce had forced him to perpetuate.

But the triforce isn’t done with Ganondorf just yet.

Ganondorf’s soul is powerful. So powerful in fact that the triforce of power, still corrupted, mind you, takes hold of it and since he is broken in mind and spirit from the loss of his people, the triforce of power once again resides within Ganondorf. But this time it does not make the same mistake of allowing itself to be used by the man, now it uses the man to manifest its will in Hyrule and using the rage and anger forever boiling inside him, it makes the devastating monster that plagues Breath’s Hyrule. And even though the hero interrupts the creation of its new vessel, the face of the new monster strikes a surprising resemblance to Ganondorf. It manifests only every couple thousand years because it only controls his spirit, but the devastation it wreaks is catastrophic. Ganondorf may be dead, but he endures a kind of torture that even hell would find too cruel for its prisoners. I can only imagine that the calamity is just his spirit reliving his peoples destruction, and lashing out in anguish and despair. The irony is that the Gerudo in BotW are bountiful and prosperous, the one thing he ever wanted for his people.

Zelda sighed as she looked out over the lights of Hyrule Castle from the window of her tower room. The day had been a nightmare, with interminable meetings and a steady stream of documents requiring her attention. The procession of tasks necessary to rebuild her kingdom after the siege seemed endless, and now she had the situation in Kakariko to deal with as well.

After their brief visit to the old Sheikah village, Ganondorf had gone off somewhere, and she hadn't seen him since. He had not objected to the prospect of becoming the next king, but she wondered if he were really cut out for the job. No matter what he may have been in his own time, running a country was vastly different than leading an army; a monarch cannot simply disappear and tend to his own business in the middle of the day.

It was embarrassing for Zelda to admit to herself that she had expected anything of Ganondorf. She originally intended for him to act as little more than a figurehead, and it suited her purposes for him to be here in the castle. If he returned to the desert, as she strongly suspected he wished to do, she would no longer be able to keep an eye on him.

Zelda turned away from the window and glanced at the pile of books on the small table that had served as a desk during her imprisonment. She had read about the Gerudo, a tribe that once built a thriving civilization strong enough to rival Hyrule. By all accounts they had enjoyed the prosperity that accompanied their assiduous management of the trade routes passing between the kingdoms that lay beyond the border of the western mountains. These kingdoms no longer sent emissaries, and Zelda did not know whether they had fallen into decline. Had Ganondorf attacked Hyrule because the Gerudo were suffering economically due to dwindling trade? Or had the Gerudo grown so wealthy and powerful that he assumed he would be able to conquer Hyrule without resistance?

The histories she consulted had not provided her with the answers she sought. Perhaps the only person who could tell her what happened was Ganondorf. How incredible it was that she found herself in the company of a living artifact from Hyrule's past. Everything from his accent to his gestures to the manner in which he ate was foreign to her, and she could never tell whether his strangeness was the product of his Gerudo heritage or of his temporal displacement.

Regardless, Ganondorf did not seem like the sort of person who would carelessly bring about the demise of his kingdom. Zelda was not blind to the hideous and terrible anger he carried within him, but even at his most furious he had maintained an iron-fisted control over himself. She had been enthralled during his battle against Link. She knew Link would win – he was fated to win – but she'd spent years studying the art of the sword, and she watched Ganondorf with keen interest. He was clearly uncomfortable with the heft and balance of the sword he wielded, but every move he made was calculated and deliberate.

It was clear to her that Ganondorf was not a madman, and the danger he posed lay not in the strength of his body or of his magic, but rather the strength of his will. Zelda realized he could be valuable to her, and that she may be able to use him. She decided to spare his life, and her resolve endowed her with the strength to pierce the magical barrier that separated her from him. To Link's amazement, she stayed the blade of the mythical Master Sword with her own hand.

If she were being honest with herself, however, she would have to admit that her decision to save Ganondorf had already been made in the moment when he pressed his mouth to hers, sharing her breath as he passed the essence of his Triforce into her dying body. She had been filled with the exhilaration of the energy flowing into her, and she understood for the first time what power meant. It was not just the burden of responsibility, but the freedom of an infinite potential.

Zelda turned away from the window and walked to the mirror. She blew onto it and wrote a quick succession of glyphs on its clouded surface. The glass pulsed with light twice, and then Midna's face jumped into sharp focus.

Zelda laughed in surprise. "That was quick."

Midna grinned back at her as she twirled a strand of hair around her finger. "I've been waiting. What kept you? Were you with your loverboy?" Midna's lips curled in distaste. "Because I certainly hope not."

"It's been a long day," Zelda replied. "Listen, speaking of Ganondorf, I have a question. What is magic, exactly? Is it something you were born with, as a Twili? Or is it something you inherited as a princess?"

"Wow." Midna raised her eyebrows. "Way to get metaphysical right off the bat."

Zelda shook her head. "I don't care about the theory, just the basic practicalities."

"Of course not, no one cares about the theory. As for the practicalities, we Twili have varying levels of ability. I was lucky enough to be born with a little magic, but I wouldn't have gotten anywhere if I hadn't studied my ass off for years. Isn't that what you did?"

"I... no. I didn't study magic." Zelda was embarrassed. "What magic I have came to me with the Triforce, and I really don't understand anything about it. We don't have books about magic here in Hyrule. But, since you were able to study it, do you think it was the same with the Gerudo?"

"Hmmmm..." Midna tapped her finger against her chin as she considered the question. "I don't know much about the Gerudo. Back in the day, you Hylians had a great deal of magic yourselves, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Gerudo had their own traditions. As someone who hated studying, I can tell you that your fiancé strikes me as someone who probably loved it. He's such a damn nerd."

Zelda covered her mouth with her hand to hide her grin. She had never thought of Ganondorf like that before, but Midna's description of him was apt.

Midna rolled her eyes and continued. "You know what I'm talking about, then. That boy spent too much time reading, and then he became a loner with unrealistic ambitions and a delusional savior complex. He's such a stereotype. Honestly, I don't know how you stand him. Still... I can't deny that he's good at what he does, and there's probably a reason the Triforce chose him. There's no accounting for taste, I guess."

Zelda was amused, but she pressed on with her line of questioning. "You said that you don't know much about the Gerudo. Can you tell me anything?"

Midna shrugged. "Not really, only that they were one of the tribes of Hyrule. Like I said, I'm not a huge fan of digging through old books."

"Do you know if they were associated with boars?"

Midna scowled. "I don't know whether they were or not, but I can tell you who is – the man you stupidly decided to marry. You were really out of it when Link and I fought him in your castle, probably because he had just possessed your body, which, you know, is obviously a healthy start to a relationship. Can we talk about that, by the way?"

"Midna, please."

"Okay, whatever. Anyway, your hubby-to-be transformed himself into a giant boar, except it was more of a demon, just raw strength and pure rage. Or, it wasn't really a boar; it had thick fleshy toes instead of hooves, and I can't swear that it wasn't scaly. It creeped me out, and let me tell you, I've seen some things..."

Midna paused for a moment and massaged her temples before continuing. "In any case, that's what you can thank for the destruction of your throne room. You're not going to want to hear this, but I think he was trying to take on the form of the legendary demon king Ganon. I mean, that's how he persuaded that idiot Zant, by saying he was Ganon. It would make sense, given that he calls himself 'Ganondorf.' The thing is, though – I'm pretty sure Ganon isn't just a legend. I think it's real, and I think it has something to do with why we Twili were banished from Hyrule in the first place. I can tell you the story, but why don't you tell me why you're asking about boars in the first place?"

"I'm sorry, Midna," Zelda responded. Her suspicions had been confirmed, and her heart was racing. "I think I have to go. Can we talk about this later?"

"Oh..." Midna's face fell. "I bet you just remembered an important conversation you're supposed to be having with someone else. Fine. But be careful with him, okay? I wouldn't trust him any farther than I can throw a, you know, a..."

"A pumpkin?" Zelda suggested.

"That's right!" Midna snapped her fingers.

Zelda smiled, grateful for Midna's concern. "I don't believe Ganondorf is a threat. At least, not in the way everyone thinks he is. Still, I suspect he knows something that he's not telling me."

"Have you tried using your feminine wiles? I bet he's a real beast in bed, if you know what I'm saying."

Zelda raised an eyebrow. "You're one to talk. By the way, how's Link?"

"Listen, Zelda," Midna said, suddenly serious. "We'll be here for you, me and Link. We're right on the other side of this mirror. If you need us, just reach out, okay? We'll come for you."

Midna raised her hand to the glass. "Thank you," Zelda whispered, touching her fingers to Midna's palm.

The connection flickered and died out, and Zelda allowed her shoulders to drop. She rolled her head and rubbed the back of her neck. Her heart was still pounding in her chest, and she felt her exhaustion fading. She was looking forward to talking with Ganondorf, and she knew exactly where to find him.

I bet he's a real beast in bed. Midna's words lingered in Zelda's mind, and her face grew warm as she blushed. What she didn't want to tell her friend was how incredible it felt when Ganondorf's spirit had entered her. He offered her his life, and she had taken it, knowing full well what sort of power it would give him over her. When he came to her in her tower room, he was not the prince she had always dreamed of, but he was the only person who had ever seen her in a moment of true weakness and not turned away in disappointment. However terrible he may have been, she was not afraid of him.

A Necessary Decision

Pairing: Angsty Nabsgan (NabooruxGanondorf), Pre OoT

Rating: T for suggestive language/behavior and angst!

Word count: 6201

[Happy Valentine’s Day, all! Have some angst! Also, a note. I may have posted this before on my old account (exalteddesertrebel, and I think it’s on ff.net too under...i think my name was payinginnaivety but I haven’t been on there in AGES) so if you’re reading this and get some serious deja vu as you realize you’ve seen it before, don’t be alarmed! This is still very much my work!.But I hope you enjoy!]

She stood before me. Traitor to her people. Traitor to her king. But her rebellion has been put to rest. She now serves me without resistance.

I examined the Gerudo standing before me as she stared blankly ahead of her, golden eyes void of emotion. She stood slightly taller than most women, and she was certainly one of the more beautiful. Her long, fire-red hair in its usual high pony tail, a large ruby clasping it in place. A flawless face, even in her current emotionless state. Perfectly Gerudo. Her body was toned from years of intense training in our desert home, easily seen in her usual garb. She was easily the best among the Gerudo, next to myself. And why shouldn't she be?

She was my second in command.

Koume and Kotake circled around Nabooru on their brooms, wicked grins plastered to their withered faces. "Well, your majesty, it has been done just as you ordered," Koume announced with a high pitched cackle. The twin sorceresses halted and hovered on either side of Nabooru.

"Yes," Kotake agreed with identical laughter. The old witch briefly placed a bony, wrinkled hand on Nabooru's cheek. The Gerudo didn't even twitch. "She will no longer be able to defy your will!"

I stepped toward the trio, still eyeing my second in command, half expecting her to lunge at me in an attempt at regicide. I could clearly hear her screech of rage in my head; I could see the pure hatred that would be in her eyes. "And you are certain she will not be able to break this curse?"

Koume and Kotake scoffed in unison. "She may be the most strong-willed and stubborn Gerudo we have ever come across," Kotake began haughtily, obviously feeling I had insulted their expertise.

"But we are quite certain she is under our full control," Koume finished with a huff.

I gave my mothers an exasperated look, my patience beginning to thin. They both shrugged. "If you don't believe us," they said, "why don't you test her?"

I snapped my full attention back to the woman standing before me. Nabooru hadn't moved an inch, and as far as I could tell, she hadn't even blinked. I could not help but be slightly concerned that the sorceresses had done too well. Not completely certain how to go about this "test," I settled on something simple; in an authoritative voice, I called her name.

Her reaction was instantaneous: she quickly and gracefully dropped into a kneel, blank eyes glued to my own. "Yes, master?" she said, her voice containing its usual silkiness if not slightly monotone.

My shock must have been evident for my mothers began to laugh gleefully. I held up a hand to silence them, my gaze still locked with the Gerudo's before me; this test was not through yet. "Tell me, what is your purpose in life?"

Again, there was no hesitation from Nabooru. "To serve my master, Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo."

My jaw slackened ever so slightly. The Nabooru from a few days before would not have said anything of the sort to me, let alone kneel before me. I was most impressed to say the least. I had learned firsthand that this woman was not easy to break. She was far too headstrong for her own good. Once her mind was made up, there was no convincing her otherwise.

"Impressive," I said with a smirk. "I assume this was no easy task?"

Koume clicked her tongue in annoyance. "It would have been much easier if you had made the decision when we first warned you."

"Yes. Her hatred would have been nonexistent then, and she would have been much easier to work with. We would have met much less resistance, I am sure," Kotake added shrilly, giving me a disapproving look.

I growled lowly in the back of my throat, causing both of the witches to flinch slightly. "I have already explained to you why I waited. I do not feel we need to have this conversation again." I crossed my arms over my broad chest, my face set in a cool glare. "Now, I have no more use for you two at the moment. You are dismissed."

My mothers opened their mouths to protest, but they remained silent. They knew my word was final, even for them. I was the king, and even they were not to argue with me. Without a word, the sorceresses disappeared in a cloud of ice and a burst of flame.

As soon as they were gone, I directed my glare to Nabooru. "Rise," I commanded my voice gruff, my stare icy. I watched as she fluidly returned to her feet, seemingly unaffected by my obvious aggravation toward her. I growled once more for a part of me wanted to see her fear me; I wanted her to feel the brute force of my rage toward her for what she did. She had betrayed me on more than just the leader-follower level. She was my sole confidant and more or less the woman I had fallen for. No matter what our relationship had been considered, she still refused to stand by my side.

I clenched my fists and began pacing, Nabooru's empty eyes following my movements. I ground my teeth together as the memory of why I had to make this rash decision, to make her into nothing but a mindless puppet, rushed to the front of my mind.

------------------

I stepped into the chamber that contained the statue of the Goddess of the Sand inside the Spirit Temple, a scowl seeming to be permanently set on my face. I had once again failed to retrieve a Spiritual Stone on my trip to Hyrule. I would be sugar coating if I said my mood was anything less than irritated. My plans could not move forward without them, and I am not fond of being constantly thwarted.

As expected and desired, I found my second in command sitting cross-legged before the large statue, head tilted back as she stared up at our Goddess. Instead of her usual ponytail, her red hair cascaded down her back. Her hands rested on her knees and her spine was straight in perfect posture.

I remained near the doorway examining her, half surprised that she had not heard me enter; I was not exactly being quiet. I also contemplated why I even sought her out in the first place. We had once again argued about my ambitions before my latest trip to Hyrule. She felt that chasing these "ridiculous Hylian legends" as she put it was not the answer for the Gerudo. I, of course, disagreed. Why should the Hylians be so blessed when all my people see is suffering and have to resort to stealing to survive? Why couldn't the Gerudo be so blessed? Our home and theirs are close geographically, and yet we are cursed with brutal temperatures and desolate lands while they have fair weather and lush, green fields. But, no matter how many times I expressed that the fabled Triforce could be the answer to our prayers, the end of our suffering, Nabooru remained adamant; she would not listen to reason.

Her stubbornness was driving me to desperate measure. My surrogate mothers had been warning me since our relationship had become more than leader and subordinate that Nabooru would be dangerous. Far too strong-willed and outspoken. I ignored them. Everything progressed beautifully until I mentioned my desire for the Triforce and the arguments began. This only made my mothers nag me even more. At first they offered to kill her. I immediately and vehemently told them that would not happen. They then offered to brainwash Nabooru, make her my obedient slave. Unquestioning and unfeeling. At the time, I hated the sound of that. That was not a fate I would wish upon my Nabooru. I told them I could convince her that this was the best course of action and, that day, I promised myself not to give the command until I was absolutely certain she could not be swayed. But, with each verbal feud, the idea became more and more appealing, and I felt my confidence in the situation slipping.

Deciding to make my presence known, I cleared my throat. As expected, Nabooru sprang to her feet, the dual blades that had rested on either side of her held in her hands, ready to attack. I couldn't help but chuckle. She truly was an impressive warrior, even if she had not noticed my entrance in the first place. "Quick as ever, eh Nabooru?" I said with a slight smile as the Gerudo woman lowered her blades. I crossed my arms. "And shouldn't you be at the fortress? Last time I checked, you're to be in charge of the fortress in my absence."

Nabooru rolled her eyes as the corners of her mouth twitched upward in a smile of her own. "Aveil is perfectly capable of handling things at the fortress for a few hours," she informed me as she bent down to place her scimitars on the floor once more. She slowly rose to her full height again. "Besides, I have not been away long."

I faked a scoff and stepped toward her, glad that she hadn't told me to get lost. Of course, she would have used much more colorful language than that. "A lot could happen in a few hours. For all you know, the fortress has been destroyed and you're nowhere to be found in your people's time of need." I stopped inches in front of her, having to look down slightly to meet her unflinching gaze since I towered over her. As usual, she was not intimidated by me in the slightest.

"I think they'll manage," Nabooru replied with a shrug, smiling up at me. "We've been trained to handle anything."

I couldn't help but laugh at her response, mostly out of relief because I had expected something more defensive. Especially considering our last encounter. Nabooru was definitely a grudge holder.

"Hmm...fair enough." I took her hand in my own and brought it to my lips, placing a gentle kiss on each of her knuckles. "But all joking aside, everything was fine while I was gone?"

"Of course. Nothing really exciting happened at all." She smirked up at me, free hand moving to rest on her hip. "But since when did you become such a gentleman? Kissing my hand as if I'm some dainty princess? I'm slightly insulted, you know..."

Without warning, I gently tugged her toward me, causing her to gasp softly and fall against my chest. I chuckled, releasing her hand and wrapping my arms around her. "Well, I apologize for insulting you."

Nabooru's laughter was muffled since her face was buried in my chest. After a second she tilted her head up to meet my gaze once more. "Hmph. I'm not sure I can forgive you for that one," she began, her hands wandering over my chest. She then draped her arms around my neck. "That insult stung a little more than I'm willing to just let go..."

I let one of my hands slide up her back and run through her long hair. "Then allow me to make it up to you," I whispered with a smirk of my own. I closed the slight distance between our faces and leaned down to press my lips to hers. Nabooru returned the kiss more quickly and more eagerly than I figured she would, fingers of one hand ghosting over the back of my neck and weaving into my hair. A noise of approval rumbled in my throat and I tightened my arms around her.

After a few more seconds, Nabooru pulled away slightly and smirked at me. "I take it you missed me?"

"Always do," I answered, leaning down and nuzzling her neck. "More so than usual this time." Not that I could have brought Nabooru along this time anyway; she would not have approved of this particular excursion into Hyrule.

Nabooru rubbed my back soothingly and gently ran her fingers through my hair. "Something go wrong?" she asked with sincerity.

She didn't even know the half of it.

I groaned in annoyance against her neck. "I'd prefer to not discuss that," I responded, trying not to sound too angry. If I could avoid another clash with Nabooru, I was going to by whatever means necessary.

To my relief (and slight irritation), Nabooru simply giggled softly and kissed the side of my head. "Aw, you poor thing..." She then slipped out of my arms and walked away from me, hips swaying ever so slightly. "But you know, if you would have just stayed at the fortress, I could have ensured that you wouldn't have had a horrible time," she stated, turning her head to send me a devilish smile.

I scoffed and crossed my arms, eyebrow raised at her suggestive comment. "If the other Gerudo heard the way you talk, we would never hear the end of it," I pointed out, a slight hint of amusement in my tone. Nabooru and I had decided to keep our relationship quiet for that reason: the other Gerudo would never let it go. At one end of the spectrum, they would be horribly jealous, both because of the relationship itself, me being the sole male of the tribe, and they would play the "you only chose her as second in command because of your relationship" card. However, they should know well that was not the case. Nabooru was most qualified for the job, and, when challenged by other Gerudo for the position, she won.

Then there would be the ones constantly gushing about how they "knew it all along" and how "cute" we are together. I inwardly shuddered at the thought of those types.

"Ha! You're one to talk!" Nabooru flipped around to fully face me, hands on her hips. "You're not exactly subtle when you drag me off to your chambers. Or when you sneak into my room in the dead of night."

Even though she was trying to act indignant, Nabooru couldn't fool me. Her golden eyes glittered with amusement and I could almost hear the laughter trying to break free as she spoke. I chuckled softly at the memories she described. "Funny you should complain now. If I remember correctly, you weren't complaining when-"

"Oh no," she interrupted, holding up her hand to stop me as a blush tinted her cheeks, "don't you dare finish that sentence, Ganondorf Dragmire, or you will seriously regret it."

Two quick strides placed me in front of her again. I placed my hand beneath her chin and gently tilted her head up to meet my gaze. "And how do you plan on carrying out that threat?" I inquired with a smirk. "You and I both know that, no matter how strong you are, you could never over power me."

Nabooru opened her mouth as if to speak, then quickly closed it, a scowl forming on her face. She slapped my hand away from her face and huffed as she plopped down on the floor again. "You can be so irritating, you know that?" My second in command crossed her arms over her chest, glaring straight ahead.

I sat down next to her cross-legged, amused more than anything by Nabooru's behavior. She had always been this way, even when we first met as mere teenagers. Despite my status, she still spoke to me as if I were simply another Gerudo. At first, I hated her for it. I was king after all, her better, and I felt I deserved her utmost respect. However, no matter how much I wanted to deny it, a part of me enjoyed the treatment and I often sought her company because of it. At that age, it was refreshing to be treated like a normal teenager instead of constantly enduring the formalities the other Gerudo used.

I placed my elbow on my knee and rested my cheek against my fist. I studied the woman next to me for a moment, causing her to send me a discrete, sidelong glance. "Do I need to apologize again?" I asked her, smiling a bit.

"Yes," she replied bluntly now directing her glare at me instead of the far wall.

"Then you have my sincerest apologies, Nabooru. I just simply can't control my pesky male ego sometimes." I sighed dramatically and frowned. "I do not deserve to be in the presence of such a wonderful and beautiful woman."

Nabooru rolled her eyes but was unable to keep from smiling. She shifted closer to me then leaned forward to peck my lips. "You should know by now that flattery will get you nowhere with me," she murmured as she lifted herself onto my lap. I instinctively draped my arms around her as Nabooru rested her head on my shoulder.

"I don't know," I said, running a hand along her side. "It seems to be working pretty well for me this time."

Now it was Nabooru's turn to groan in annoyance. She turned her head so her face was buried in my shoulder. "Can you just be quiet for one minute?"

I chuckled softly but respected her wish. We sat in silence, simply enjoying each other's presence. However, the nagging feeling that this relationship was nearing its end resurfaced with a vengeance when I had nothing to distract me from it. Truthfully, I didn't want this to end. My ideal image of the future included Nabooru remaining by my side as my queen. But that image had slowly been deteriorating, Nabooru's stubbornness being the cause. If she became too rebellious, she would become a threat to my plans. I could not have that.

"So, tell me Nabooru," I said as I absently wrapped a strand of her hair around my finger, staring up at the Goddess statue before us. I felt Nabooru turn her head to signify that I had her full attention. I continued: "What made you seek refuge here and had you so deep in thought you didn't even notice when I came in?"

Nabooru shifted in my lap, and when I glanced at her, I noticed she was biting her lip and her eyes were trained on the floor. "Well, the Gerudo...us..." She hesitated, and her gaze met my own once more as she added, "You, more specifically."

I raised an eyebrow questioningly. "I assume nothing particularly good?"

She shook her head slowly in response. Then, she frowned and quickly turned her head away from me again. Her body had become rigid and her hands were balled into fists in her lap. "I really don't want to discuss this. Not now."

Gently placing my hand on her cheek, I turned her head to face me again, meeting little resistance from the woman. I kissed her lips gently, and, pulling away slightly, murmured, "If it has you so worried, then it worries me as well. I hate seeing you look so distraught."

Nabooru nervously ran her fingers through her long red hair, seeming to ponder if speaking up would be in her favor. Finally, after what felt like ages, she let out a sigh. "It's just...I was thinking about the arguments we've been having lately. About how, when you talk about the Triforce and all that, you...change."

"I change?" I repeated, trying to keep the humor from my voice. Nabooru was completely serious, but I was not convinced. But, I figured I should allow her to explain before completely dismissing the notion. I let my hand drop from her face. "How so?"

Nabooru apparently caught on to my skepticism because she gave me an exasperated look. However, it did not deter her from continuing. If anything, it lent her more conviction to carry on. "You're just not you. I feel as if I'm seeing a darker side of you sometimes...an almost power-hungry side," she stated, barely above a whisper. "It's...quite unsettling."

I shook my head and fought the urge to roll my eyes. "Nabooru, you're reading into this far too much. That's ridiculous. You simply get that feeling because you don't like what I'm saying."

"It is not ridiculous," Nabooru retorted icily, glaring once more. She slid off of my lap and stood up taking a few paces away from me. After standing still for a few seconds, she flipped back around to face me. "Besides, ever since you started discussing your dream of obtaining this legendary Triforce, there have been rumors about troubles among the other races."

So, Nabooru was suspicious of my outings to Hyrule. I guess I didn't give the woman enough credit. I always knew she was clever, but I had taken extra care to keep my doings in Hyrule from her and the rest of the Gerudo.

Hiding my shock at her suspicions, I too rose to my feet, feigning confusion. "Rumors you say?" I mused. "I haven't heard anything of the sort."

"Oh, well then maybe I should shed some light on a few of them for you." Her accusing tone caused me to scowl at her as anger began to bubble toward the surface. As usual, my second in command was unintimidated as she prattled on. "Apparently, the guardian spirit of the forest has died, and then there was something about a food source of the Gorons being blocked off. The Zoras also claim their patron deity has been strange lately. And you know what each of these occurrences had in common?"

I shrugged, continuing to play the ignorant card. Inside, however, anger was joined by a slight sadness, and the two twisted together into a knot that settled in the pit of my stomach. I knew this conversation was not going in a pleasant direction. My fists clenched at my sides at the very thought.

"They say that whoever did these things was demanding the Spiritual Stones, something I remember you mentioning once," Nabooru said, her tone flat and emotionless. Despite the fact that her resolve seemed to have weakened, her gaze remained steady and never left mine. I could sense both sadness and frustration in her, but she didn't physically show either. I knew she would never show the former emotion, for she viewed it as a weakness. However, I was impressed that she was keeping the latter in check for the moment. I had come to know her temper far too well recently.

Nabooru approached me, taking one of my hands in both of hers. Her face softened slightly as she gently squeezed my hand. "Please tell me you had nothing to do with this. Tell me it wasn't you."

I frowned as she fruitlessly pleaded with me. She knew as well as I what the truth was. Knowing that lying would be pointless now, I turned my head away in silent answer, my brows knitting together. I felt her hands fall away from mine, and heard the soft sound of her shoes on the stone floor as she strode away from me again. "Why?" I heard her whisper. I then turned to glower at her, and her voice grew in strength. "Why couldn't you just listen to me and let it go?"

"I've already given you what should be sufficient reasoning for my actions. I am doing what is best for the Gerudo." My glare intensified slightly as I crossed my arms. "And it seems you have forgotten your place, Nabooru," I growled. "You are my second in command. I am not entitled to listen to what you have to say on such matters."

I noticed a flash of hurt cross her features, but she quickly recovered, eyes blazing. "You keep saying that, but every time those words leave your lips, the less believable they become. Part of me says that this stupid endeavor of yours is for you. Not our people." Nabooru balled her hands into fists at her sides and clenched her teeth, averting her eyes from mine for the first time since our little spat began. "Then don't take it as advice from your second in command. Right now, I'm talking to you as your best friend and lover. This whole Triforce thing feels wrong...dangerous, even. This power, if it even exists, wasn't meant for us, Ganondorf."

"Why shouldn't we deserve such power? Why should it only be reserved for the Hylians?" I growled. Nabooru glued her eyes on me once more about to speak, but I cut her off. "We don't deserve the suffering we have to endure. We should be living like the Hylians. No, better than them. And with the Triforce, I can make that happen."

Nabooru simply rolled her eyes, obviously unimpressed with my words. I felt my frustration rise once more. "Do you even hear yourself?" she demanded, crossing her arms impatiently. "In case you've been too blind to notice, the Gerudo are fine. Things are going better than they have in years. We don't need to live like the Hylians. Our way of life is what makes us strong, and it doesn't need to be changed."

My derisive laughter was out before I could think to stop it. But then again, I may not have held back this time. Nabooru's argument was ridiculous in every sense of the word. "You're a fool if you believe that, Nabooru." I watched as her eyes narrowed and heard a soft growl emit from her throat, but she surprisingly said nothing. I continued: "We live as beggars and are seen as the scum of the land. I'm going to change that."

"No, you're going to get us all killed." By now, I could tell she was struggling to keep her voice level; her temper and what I assumed was worry were beginning to get the better of her. As if knowing that I sensed her calm deteriorating, Nabooru began pacing and avoided my gaze again, much to my amusement. "What you're going to end up doing is starting another war...and this time, it will be the rest of Hyrule against us. Sure, we can handle one race at a time, but all of them at once? You and I both know we don't have such numbers."

Deciding to try a different tactic, I let out a sigh and attempted to make my tone as calm and soothing as possible. "Nabooru, you are missing the big picture here." My words stopped her pacing in favor of arching an eyebrow at me. I took a few steps toward her to close the gap between us and Nabooru stood her ground, well-trained eyes watching my every move. I placed my hand lovingly on her cheek, causing her to grimace. Her hand swiftly rose to swat my hand away, but I was quicker, catching her wrist in my hand. Nabooru scoffed, turning away from me as much as she could manage since I still gripped her wrist. I smirked slightly at her attempt to avoid my gaze.

I wrapped my free arm around her waist and pulled her close so her back met with my chest. I felt her body tense as I let my fingers glide across her bare stomach. I leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her neck. "I can give you and the Gerudo everything you could ever want, Nabooru. Everything you deserve. We can rule as king and queen," I whispered, pressing my lips to her neck once more. "I need you to stand beside me, Nabooru."

A silence fell between us, and, when I glanced up at Nabooru, I saw that her eyes were closed, and a pained expression had made its way onto her lovely face. If circumstances had been different, I would have done anything to remove it. Now I was hesitant to do such a thing. My second in command had frustrated me with her incessant stubbornness. Part of me felt she didn't deserve it. Plus, I didn't feel it would work at this point.

Finally, Nabooru's eyes re-opened, but the sadness in her golden orbs remained. "I can't," she whispered so softly that I nearly missed it.

I felt any confidence I had in convincing Nabooru to accept my plan slip away with those two, simple words. My grip on her wrist slackened, and Nabooru slipped away from me, keeping her back to me. I knew I should just give up now and walk away. The woman was beyond convincing unfortunately. "You can't?" I repeated, hoping my tone sounded as neutral as I wanted it to.

Nabooru simply shook her head slowly without turning around. I was surprised by the strength of her voice as she spoke next, expecting it to be much feebler than it was: "I can't do it, Ganondorf. I don't feel like your intentions are as pure as you claim they are." She faced me fully once more, a frown on her face and sadness in her eyes. "I won't be a part of your plan. And, if it comes to it, I will stop you."

That was the last straw. Not only was she not going along with the plan, but she now threatened to hinder my progress toward my goal. Even though I knew she would not succeed, even if I did not have my back up plan, the emotional turmoil that had been brewing inside of me finally ended with anger overpowering any feeling of hopelessness or regret that had once weighed heavy on me. "If you know what's best for you, you will stay out of this," I snarled, hoping, in a roundabout way, the threat would keep her away. I knew it wouldn't, but part of me still felt it necessary to try. "Better yet, as your leader, I command you to stay out of this."

Nabooru remained rooted to her spot, the sadness in her golden orbs now replaced by a blazing fury. She despised when I pulled the leader act, but I didn't care at the moment. For the first time since we were teenagers, I didn't care about how she felt or what she thought. At the moment, she was simply a rebellious Gerudo that was a threat to my plan. And, in my rage, the image of Nabooru as my obedient servant suddenly became very sweet indeed.

"No," she finally stated firmly. "I can't just allow you to go on hurting people like this."

"So you will go against a direct order from your king and turn your back on your entire race?"

A malicious smirk made its way onto my face as Nabooru's eyes widened, and her lips turned downward in a frown of distress. The Gerudo were everything to her, and the thought of betraying her people was probably her worst nightmare. For a split second, I thought I had won, but moments later, Nabooru's expression became grim once more. "If that's what it means to stand up to your tyranny and foolish ideas, then yes. That's exactly what I'm doing."

I chuckled darkly, thoroughly amused by Nabooru's answer. "You're the one being foolish, Nabooru. I'm sure you will come to realize this soon enough." Deciding it was time to take my leave, I turned away from the shocked Gerudo. However, halfway to the chamber's exit I paused. "Now that you are considered a traitor to the Gerudo, I cannot ensure your safety." Satisfied with her silence, I continued to the door.

My exit was thwarted once more by Nabooru shouting my name almost hysterically. I growled and turned my head back to glare at her, wanting nothing more than to be out of her presence. I watched Nabooru ball her hands into fists for the millionth time, her gold orbs never leaving my frame in the doorway. Finally, she spoke: "I will stop you, Ganondorf. And, even if I fail, someone else will bring you down. I'm certain of it."

Words could not express how idiotic she sounded. So, in response, I burst out laughing and left the room without glancing back at my second in command. Nabooru had finally tried the remainder of my patience today. It was time for me to seek out my mothers and give them the order to brain wash the woman I loved.

-------------------------

"Is something troubling you, master?"

Nabooru's voice snapped me out of my reverie and my head snapped in her direction. The Gerudo's blank stare was trained on me, face still the emotionless mask it had been since Koume and Kotake brought her to me. I mentally scolded myself for briefly expecting different; for hoping that the beautiful face I had come to adore would show the compassion I had often received from her in the past.

But, that time was over and did not matter any longer. I told myself it would probably be best to bury that part of my past and look to the future. I had come far in my endeavors, and I was not about to let silly emotions for a woman hold me back.

"I suppose letting you loose on the fortress would be a grave mistake considering I'm not sure how you will interact with the other Gerudo if you were to meet one," I stated coolly, ignoring her question. I glanced out the window at the now darkened desert sky. "I can't afford any suspicions. You will have to remain with me for the night, and in the morning, we will go to the Spirit Temple where I will figure out what to do with you."

Nabooru simply nodded and made her way to the ornate couch situated against the opposite wall. She lowered herself onto it and shifted herself in a lounging position, eyes now glued to the ceiling as if the stone fascinated her. The sight forced me to push away the hint of regret that resurfaced. No matter how much I hated seeing her this way, I couldn't let it bother me. She betrayed me, and now she must suffer the consequences.

I sat down on the edge of my bed and buried my face in my hands, exhaustion suddenly overtaking my body. After what must have been several minutes, I raised my head and found Nabooru fast asleep. She looked peaceful, and, if I didn't know any better, I would have said she was the same Nabooru I had come to love. But, I knew I would never enjoy her company again.

"You brought this fate upon yourself, Nabooru," I muttered, glaring at her sleeping form. "You forced me into a decision I never wanted to make, and now you must live life as nothing but a mere puppet." My hands clenched into fists on top of my knees. "Now you have no choice but to serve me, and your freedom, one of the things you held dear, is now mine. Is this what you hoped to accomplish through your stubbornness and pride?"

I stood from the bed and swept over to the window, staring out over the fortress. It would not be long now. Having Nabooru loyal to me once more meant one less person I had standing in my way. The Triforce would soon be mine, and Hyrule will be at my mercy. My people will be able to live the lives they deserve. And my past...

I glanced at Nabooru once more. She had shifted in her sleep, her arms now wrapped around her middle as if hugging herself. Her knees had bent and had moved up, putting her in a fetal position. It was funny: A woman who made herself seem so strong both mentally and physically while awake seemed so weak and fragile in her sleep.

Weak. That seemed to describe Nabooru now. She had decided to go against the more powerful, winning side, thus making her weak.

In other words, Nabooru meant nothing to me anymore. She was now a simple pawn, a minion, fated to do my bidding and my bidding alone.

10 No-fuss Ways To Figuring Out Your Zelda Ocarina Of Time

Learn about the epics tales of Hyrule, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf almost all from the comfort of your 3DS program. Shadow Temple: Visit the Temple of Period, place the Get better at Sword in the pedestal (to come back to the childhood era), go to the Great Fairy near Hyrule Castle, receive Din's Fire from THE FANTASTIC Fairy, go to the Temple of Time, grab the Expert Sword (to return to the adulthood period), enter the Shadow Temple, get the Hover Boot styles, utilize the hover boot to get to places you can not jump to, use the Lens of Truth to observe what is hidden in the rooms of the Shadow Temple, and defeat Bongo Bongo.

Character versions: Ocarina of Period was the first game in the series to feature an in-game blond-haired Link (although the official art of previous games had depicted Link with blond hair, non-e of the type sprites displayed this feature). The iQue version of Ocarina of Time is based on version 1.2. Lag is virtually nonexistent due to iQues better hardware than the Nintendo 64, most noticeable through the collapse of Ganon's Castle In the cutscene, the castle falls at such a rate that the sound falls out of sync with the cutscene. Ocarina of Time was ported to the Chinese iQue Player (a localized edition of the Nintendo 64) released in 2003.

Nonetheless, Nintendo Power positioned it first in their list of best The Legend of Zelda video games and stated that, despite its age, is still an excellent game and known as it a "masterpiece". Like most Zelda games, Ocarina of Time provides its music composed by Koji Kondo 57 Surprisingly, the main theme of The Legend of Zelda series is definitely absent in this video game, as the overworld tune for this game is new. Ocarina of Period was originally designed and created for the Nintendo 64DD peripheral for the Nintendo 64 game console.

The three-dimensional environment, improved sound, and greater graphical capacity of the Nintendo 64 allowed Nintendo to make a truly immersive environment beyond what had ever been carried out before, enabling greater separation between cheerful environments, such as Hyrule Castle Town and Kokiri Forest, and comparatively dark areas such as for example Ganon's Castle and the Shadow Temple. Zelda instructs Link to lay the Grasp Sword to rest and close the Door of Period, closing the street between occasions, and she transmits him to his unique period. Ganondorf attacked Hyrule Castle so that they can steal the Ocarina of Period, and Princess Zelda was forced to flee with her loyal attendant Impa in order to keep the sacred relic from Ganondorf's hands.

4 Released in the United States on November 23, 1998, it had been the first game in The Legend of Zelda series that was visually displayed in 3D (previous video games of the series experienced a front or top-down view). A reimagining of the initial Nintendo 64 classic, the game features the full original video game graphically overhauled in the glasses-free 3D made possible by the Nintendo 3DS. Legend of Zelda ocarina of period for the 3ds in exceptional condition.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the 3DS, 2DS etc. This guidebook also serves as an Ocarina of Time 3D Walkthrough for the Nintendo 3DS remake of the game. "There's a myth behind Ura Zelda, predicated on interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma back the 90s, that it would have been an expansion to Ocarina of Period, adding new dungeons, fresh overworld areas, fresh bosses, brand-new everything." Artist and video game designer Benjamin Walton is among the members of Task Ura, a concerted try to revive and build on Zelda 64's lost add-on which ran from 2010 to 2013.

Ocarina of Period was an access in the Legend of Zelda series that is considered to be not only among the best entries in the series, but one of the best video games of all time. In this game, Link cause on a legendary journey through time to fully stop Ganondorf, the Gerudo King of Thieves who's looking for the Triforce, a holy relic that provides its holder best power. One of the greatest video games ever created, it was released for N64, remade for Nintendo Gamecube, as soon as more for The 3Ds.

A gamer's five-year quest to defeat The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is complete. Music from the classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Period is making the leap from the chip noises of the Nintendo 64 to a new recording by a 64-piece orchestra, iam8little bit announced today. Speedrunners possess unearthed an exploit in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that could dramatically change the way the community plays the game - and its follow-up, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's...

I already own a Switch but I also want to play the massive library of the 3DS games, therefore the 2DS makes sense for me right after paying a whole lot for the Change, here I only pay $80 for something that has 3DS games. : Once you unseal the Temple of Time and grab the Get better at Sword, Ganondorf turns up to claim the Triforce before you, thanking you for performing all the large lifting for him. New Game+ : In the 3DS remake, completing the game unlocks the Expert Quest mode.

Last Villain Stand : After all of Ganondorf's temple bosses are destroyed, his soldiers have all been eliminated, and sometimes his castle is definitely demolished, he flies right into a Villainous Breakdown fueled rage and uses the Triforce of Power to transform into Ganon for one last battle with Link. Zelda acknowledges all this after Ganondorf is certainly sealed away, and it may be why the Master Sword insisted on Hyperlink growing up before wielding it. Therefore, you need to immediately head for Lake Hylia after getting the Ocarina (and Track) Of Time if you would like to make use of Pierre as a Hookshot target before you surface finish the Forest Temple.

Extended Gameplay : "Expert Quest" is definitely a version of the game that comes with different and harder dungeon styles, for people who like complicated puzzles. After retrieving the Ocarina of Time from the castle's moat a telepathic message from Princess Zelda orders you to go to the Temple of Time. In Dodongo's Cavern, the infamous "L is Real 2401" texture from Super Mario 64 was the legend of zelda ocarina of time reused as an in-joke to tease people who still belived the sign means something (per Word of God , it generally does not mean anything) and as a nod to Ocarina of Time being built on a greatly modified version of Mario 64's game engine.

The fetch search for it can be completed before you even set foot in the Forest Temple, and it rewards you with THE strongest weapon in the overall game , which shreds through normal enemies and turns the boss fights into a cakewalk. Anyone used to the Ocarina controls from the original version may have trouble getting used to the Ocarina handles for the 3DS remake, as the button layout for each note is very different. Boss in Mook Clothes : The Iron Knuckles, that you fight 3 x in the Spirit Temple and twice in Ganondorf's castle.

Ascended Glitch : The 3DS remakes retains (and in some cases, recreates) many of the glitches from the original that weren't Game Breaking Bugs , since a nod to players who experienced it made the overall game fun. No matter just how much time you have left, Link and Zelda usually manage to get out of Ganondorf's castle instantly before it explodes and crumbles into itself. This is merely the start of an epic journey that takes Hyperlink from the sanctuary of his Hidden Elf Village to the wonderful Hyrule Castle and then to all points of Hyrule in a quest to stop the evil thief-king Ganondorf from seizing the power of the omnipotent Triforce.

It's strange saying a 13-year-old 3D remake is the 3DS' first must-play name, but for those who've yet to see Ocarina of Period, the 3DS is an ideal vessel for doing so. If you have already played this traditional there are few new graphical and 3D improvements, but also for someone who has recently managed to get through, it's probably wise to skip that one. I experienced something totally unique when jumping back to Ocarina of Time 13 years since playing the N64 version. Although 3DS is still a relatively new platform, a 3D version of the traditional title has been created for redistribution, allowing a whole new era of gamers to experience the legendary title.

About half that point ago along came a game called The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is currently widely regarded as the best game in the Zelda franchise. Nintendo tends not to screw up Zelda video games, so becoming realistic, money 's the reason we have yet to view it. The Wii U was a tragedy, there was not really a strong enough player base to make it worth the trouble. While fans share an attachment to Ocarina of Time‘s initial wavetable tracks, iam8bit's forthcoming album release upgrades Nintendo's traditional soundtrack with backing from the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, replacing the N64's synthesized instruments with live brass, string, and woodwind arrangements.

Also, because Ocarina became this epoch making video game, I believe how players found realise the potential of 3D games changed.” Nintendo acquired shown the world how exactly to craft a casino game in this fresh frontier with the seminal Super Mario 64 a few years earlier, but work got begun on a 3D Zelda before the N64 had been released. Ocarina of Period is notable for being the 1st 3D Zelda game, but it had taken the series into the fourth dimension, too.

The once-advanced capabilities of the Nintendo 64 allowed the music to sound much richer than previous games in the series (returning tunes like Zeldas Theme and the Kakiriko Village theme were amazing), and the sheer number and diversity of the tracks were especially impressive. The Zelda games possess always sported brilliant music, and Ocarina of Time is no different. Ocarina of Time provided rise to the ephemeral Kokiri, the rock-munching Gorons, and the fishlike Zora (that have been a long way off from the Zora monsters in earlier games), along with new human tribes in the Sheikah and the Gerudo.

We're able to probably list a large number of parts of Ocarina of Time that make the game so amazing, but in honor of its anniversary, listed below are our top 15 explanations why we still like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Period. Gamers play from a third-person perspective as Hyperlink, a young pointy-eared boy who vows to save lots of the land of Hyrule from the malevolent Ganondorf. "Ocarina of Period 3D," a remake of the great N64 game, feels classic in its approach.

Link must play the eponymous Ocarina of Period many, many times over the course of the game. This game tells the epic tale of Hyrule and Hyperlink, Zelda, and Ganondorf in remarkable depth and provides context to the many tales of their struggles. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a robust game.

Illustrated melody book indicates the 6 note cues to make the ocarina perform Zelda's Lullaby, Epona's Song, Saria's Song, Song of Period, Sun's Song, and Tune of Storms. And now you can enjoy Legend of Zelda music whenever you as with this Legend of Zelda Electronic Ocarina of Period. All the improvements in 3D action adventure video games can't proceed unnoticed because of ocarina of time.

I'd love to enjoy it, I have gone back again and played old video games before and enjoyed them, but it simply doesn't do much for me. Zelda games generally don't do much for me, the just three I've finished are Wind Waker, Breath of the Crazy, and A Link Between Worlds and I wouldn't even consider some of them for a "favorite games ever" list. Ocarina of Period is one of the most well-known Zelda games ever. Ranked 5 out of 5 by rollcredits from Ocarina Sublime Arguably the best game in the Zelda series receives a complete 3D remaster.

In Greece, pre-order bonuses included a green cap, a keychain, a plastic material Ocarina of Period replica, a 3DS pouch, a can of Great Deku Tree seeds, and a copy of the game. Like the original video game, Ocarina of Time 3D garnered almost universal essential acclaim. A fresh credits sequence for the 3DS version staff now plays at the end of the original credits.

A few Crystal Switches located behind bars have already been moved, namely in the Water Temple and the Spirit Temple That is because of Link not having the ability to hit objects through walls in the 3DS version. To unlock the Get better at Search for Ocarina of Period 3D, the main quest needs to be completed initial. 15 The game also contains Master Quest , which was originally released for the Nintendo GameCube.

The Master Quest once was available within a GameCube compilation disc for those who pre-ordered The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Period 3D. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D.. it's a kind of magic.

Freshly - and exclusively - recorded simply by the 64-player Slovak National Symphony Orchestra for this extremely album, Hero of Time breaths new lease of life into classic Ocarina of Time score, previously just available from its Nintendo 64 sound chip origins. Originally released for then high-tech game console Nintendo 64 in 1998, among its most well-known levels has now been remade in ultra-HD using Unreal Engine 4, the new graphics rendering software engine which has lately inspired several incredibly lifelike simulations and tributes to other older, similarly beloved, much less graphically-advanced video games. The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Period is lauded as you of the most crucial titles in gaming history.

With immersive graphics, a sweeping story line, swashbuckling adventure, mind-bending puzzles, and a touch of humor, The Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Period is one of Nintendo's most epic challenges ever." One Legend of Zelda fan made a decision to revisit a familiar place within Ocarina of Time: the Kokiri Forest. Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time's Kokiri Forest Recreated In Unreal Engine 4, Download Now.

The Zelda games 've got the very best music out there, especially Ocarina of Period. Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time Original Soundtrack. Return to the lands of Hyrule and guidebook Hyperlink on his quest to save the Kingdom and Princess Zelda from the evil grasp of the tyrant referred to as Ganondorf.

Solve revamped puzzles and explore redesigned dungeons in a second Master Quest that wasn't included in the landmark unique version of the overall game. This version features enhancements that are particular the 3DS program, including touch-display gameplay and glasses-free 3D visuals. But like the majority of Zelda games, some poor things are occurring in the property of Hyrule thanks to the evil King of Thieves Ganondorf.

Negotiations in a Fiery Alliance: Ch 6. Bitter History

"Malik, I promise, this will be good for us to just relax and have a bit of time to ourselves." Asakonigei held her husband's hand as the pair walked through the capital. It was a glorious city full of history. "Besides, I would really like to visit the library. Zarazu asked me to check to see if there's anything on Lorleidian history here that we can request a copy of."

Malik knew his wife was right. Getting some air after that first meeting was exactly what he needed. He couldn't go into the next day's negotiations with a storm raging in his head. "I know you are correct. Just hard to relax. I feel so... exposed."

"Still getting used to the human body?" Asakonigei leaned her head against his arm. "If you're not comfortable yet, we don't have to do this. I was just thinking of showing off my handsome man."

"No. I shouldn't be worried. I have to be able to protect myself, and you, no matter where we are. And if you want to visit the library, or anywhere else, than those sights belong to you."

"I do want to visit the library, but my husband's comfort comes first." Asakonigei squeezed his hand. "You sure you'll be okay?"

"I will be. As a human being now, everything seems so much bigger. As a husband, I have another life I have to protect besides my own." He gave her hand a light kiss. "This city is beautiful. Makes me envious."

"Hrm, I know you'll protect me, but that also means I'll try to protect you." Asakonigei smiled at Malik and tugged him in the direction of market first. "Let me spoil my husband a little. Zarazu told me there is a little stand here in Danjur called 'Sweet Tooth' with the best cinnamon rolls. Let me get you one."

"I've never had a cinnamon roll before."

"Well, it's time to remedy that, don't you think?" Asakonigei pulled him along until she spotted the particular stall with the correct name. After ordering two cinnamon rolls, the vendor presented the treats to couple. The Kovina took a bite of hers and gave a low moan of appreciation. "These are so good."

Malik slowly examined the treat. The white top was sticky to hold. At his wife's encouragement, he took a bite into it. His eyes gave some small wonder as he chewed. "It's very sweet."

"And the white resembles... something." Asakonigei let the insinuation hang in the air as she licked her lips with a giggle.

Malik raised his brow at her, knowing full well what she meant. Shrugging her immaturity away, he continued to eat his treat down to the last crumb. "It was very pleasant."

"Good, see anything else you want to try?" Asakonigei gestured to the various food vendors. "Or want to look at? There are fine clothes, some pretty trinkets... maybe we can find some old pieces of history? I wonder if they have pieces of Lorleidian or Gerudo culture here?"

"I just want to walk with you. Perhaps the library holds something."

"Be the envy of other men? I see how it is." Asakonigei finished her sticky treat and after getting lost at a couple of turns, the couple arrived at the massive library. It spanned seven stories tall and had thousands of books. After showing the librarian the seal from the kingdom of Hyrule, the old lady assisted Asakonigei in finding all the novels on Gerudo culture and Lorleidi for the king and queen. There were a number of books on the Gerudo, do to Ganondorf's infamous battles over the thousands of years and his spars with Link and Zelda. However, Asakonigei was pleasantly surprised when the librarian presented almost the same number of books or more on Lorleidi. Flipping through the pages, Asakonigei was ecstatic. "Malik, look! This is one of my ancestors from when Yolandyi was alive." She pointed to a family tree in the book. "See? There's my parents, my uncles, my cousins, grandparents, and my great-grandparents! Ulboli Talbita!"

"That's... that's good Asa..." She found Malik was still, looming over the books of Ganondorf's history. The books held nothing but darkness. Ganondorf made sure that books regarding him as a villain and the more bloodier sides of him weren't published in Hyrule, in fact having accidently burned many of them in a previous life. And as Klinge he never bothered looking into if Covarog had them republished, and never had the time to read them. To see them here, uncensored, was taking the air out of him. Malik flipped to pages of himself. A general in black armour that horrifically slaughtered the King of Hyrule. And most recently, taking part in the death of Yolandyi. He thought about all the innocents he killed. Now that he was human, it hit him as hard as a dagger digging into his heart.

"Oh! It even has the records of the very first ruler! Lorleidi herself!" Asakonigei was none the wiser to Malik's internal turmoil at the moment. She was so delighted to find a piece of her people's history. So much of it was lost, but this was like a treasure worth more than all the jewels in the world. "There's descriptions of our abilities, the first leaders of the tribes, how to communicate with the spirits, some festivals, a few rituals, and..." She looked up to her husband and saw that his face had paled a little. "...? Malik? What's wrong?"

"'The Black Knight known as the Blade of the Gerudo, was first seen in the Era of Foundation. During that time he was personally responsible for beheading the King of Hyrule. Historians were unable to recover his name as his identity was scrapped from all than current history. As a servant of the Demon King, Ganondorf, he was seen through out centuries, leaving bodies in his wake. It is believed that in order to survive for so long, he is not entirely human, but was indeed a Gerudo male. His last greatest crimes of war were his responsibility in the destruction of Lorleidi. Eye witnesses reported the Black Knight had brought his master Ganondorf to the island to raid, and helped slay Queen Yolandyi. He is a legend in and out himself, although little is known about him. A monster through and through.'" Malik finished reading the section dedicated to his atrocities.

"I... I didn't know..." Asakonigei swallowed thickly at the passage her husband read to her. The Kovina had no idea that Klinge played part in the destruction of Lorleidi, more so the death of Yolandyi. She wondered if Zarazu knew? "Does... does the queen know?"

"No... no she doesn't..." Malik pressed his hand on the book, his mind weighing. "I...I've never taken into account the lives I've taken... the innocents... this book is right. Worse, it doesn't know the full details."

Asakonigei felt a terrible tightness in her chest. If Zarazu found out, if her people found out what Malik did, what would happen? Ganondorf was the one who invaded Lorleidi, and caused the island's destruction, yet the Lorleidians had moved past that for the sake of an alliance. There were still those who could not forgive Ganondorf, but kept their distance due for the chance of peace. Everything was not necessarily perfect, but better than Asakonigei could have ever imagined. If these old wounds were to resurface...

"You're not that person, you're not a blade, not Klinge, anymore."

"I enjoyed killing those people. Enjoyed, or did not care. There was no inbetween. Bringing pain to ease my own was my own reward. I am him.... but now I get to feel all those deaths on my soul. Your island would still be whole had I not pushed Ganondorf to invade."

"It might be or you could be wrong, Malik." Asakonigei almost felt a shiver go down her spine at his words. "Vul'kar was imprisoned beneath the ruins of the palace. It was not a matter of if he was going to break free, but when. Magic fades with time, and he had been locked away for over 700 years. Destruction from Ganondorf happened but Vul'kar would have done the same thing... did do the same thing." The Kovina thought of the battle against the Abyssian. "But... at least you tried to right the wrong. You fought with Zarazu against Vul'kar, you took down one of his generals, and helped us succeed in fighting back the darkness."

"Views of 'good' are what serves Hyrule. I was 'good' when I fought the Kikai Empire. I was 'good' when I fought the Abyssians. I killed because I enjoyed killing. I took the same satisfaction from slaying Yolandyi's dragon and watching her die as I did defeating Vul'kar's general. I remember every life I've taken. There were more innocents. Women. Children. Mothers and Fathers. Every death, be it Lorleidian or Abyssian was the same to me as Klinge."

"... I'm sorry." Asakonigei set the book on the table, a sad frown on her face. "This... it was never my intention. I only wanted to come to learn, to find what was lost."

"And you have learned. Knowledge brings wisdom and power. The question is now, do you have the courage to keep it?" Malik walked to the Librarian. "I wish to purchase all these books on Lorliedian culture."

"P-Purchase?" The old lady stammered out a reply. "But sir, these are precious parts of history. We keep detailed records here, I'm not s-sure if I can sell the originals to you. I'd be h-happy to make you some copies if you're willing to wait."

"Malik," Asakonigei caught him by the arm, feeling a slight twinge of fear. She pulled him to the side for a moment. "I... don't take them back." She tried to keep her emotions under control, but it was too much. "I don't want to lose you if this... this doesn't go well."

Malik ignored his wife, focused on the old lady. "This woman needs these books to recover the knowledge lost to her people. You will comply. Your country has been lucky to never suffered a traumatic destruction. I should know, both as a victim and a destroyer." Taking a breath, he narrowed his eyes, grabbing the edges of her desk and cracking them. "If you give me copies, they better be perfect. Or I'll know the difference."

"Y-Yes!!!" The librarian jumped back when Malik crushed her desk, causing Asakonigei to react. "I-I'll have them ready shortly."

"Malik!" Asakonigei was not going to be ignored and forcefully tugged him to the side, using her magic to pull his metal arm as well. "Look at me!" The Kovina was glaring at him. "You cannot threaten people anymore. You are a lord now. Not only that, but think of what you're doing." She took a breath and then said. "Don't you think you should talk to our queen about this before just... plopping these in her lap?" She knew there was no changing his mind. Her husband was stubborn. "At least... think about this. I don't want to lose you. More importantly, I don't want you to lose yourself."

"I'm not bringing a shred of my own blood stained history. Just yours." Malik stared hard at his wife. His arm stung like hellfire at her pull, but he ignored it. "You won't lose me."

Malik turned to the lady and shook his head, dropping a large sum of rupees on her desk. "Apologies for the damage. Have those books for me by tomorrow."

"Malik, we haven't even finished looking through all the books on Lorleidi!" Asakonigei insisted. "What if there is something in there on you too?!"

"...Than so be it..."

"You're... you're...! Damn it, why are you so stubborn!!?!" Asakonigei groaned aloud, running her hand back through her hair. "I want to protect you!"

"Protect me from what exactly?"

"What if someone tries to hurt you because they finally figure out what you did, what was done in the past?" Asakonigei was thinking of every worst case possible scenario. "Not only the Lorleidians, but the Hylians, anyone who might have a grudge. If all this is thrust into the spotlight... I just... I don't want you hurt. Not again. Not ever."

"Than I'd kill them first if it came to that."

"I... I don't want you to have to fight anymore." Asakonigei finally admitted. "You have fought for so long, protecting others, keeping everyone safe..."

"I'm a fighter Asa... that's who I'll always be. I don't need to be a killer, but fighting is in my veins. If backlash comes from the history recovered to your people, than so be it. I need you to be strong now."

"I'll be fine, it's you I'm worried about!" Asakonigei protested, not knowing why she felt so emotional. What was wrong with her? She was never this way. Even small tears were threatening to fall. "I finally have you at my side, you're alive, you're happy, you're with me, and I don't want that to change!"

Malik grabbed her by the arms, firmly holding her still. "Nothing can take me away from you. Nothing. Your worries will only weigh on my mind, and make me lose focus if danger is near. If you believe that we are eternal together, that I will not die so as long as you are alive, than I will be invincible, even without an undying body. For you."

"... I'm sorry, it's..." Asakonigei wiped away the stray tears, trying to reign in her emotions. "I don't know what got into me. Just the thought of losing you, it terrifies me." The Kovina pulled her husband closer for a tight hug. "I always want to be with you."

"And I'll always be with you." Malik held her close, not letting go until she felt safe.

Asakonigei closed her eyes and tried to will away any bad thoughts. Everything would be all right. Malik was not going anywhere. Even if the worst happened, somehow, the two of them would get through it... together. She held onto her husband, giving a small sigh.

"I apologize, love... I think it got to me a little more than I thought."

"How'd you like to go to the factories? See the inner mechanic workings?"

"That, my handsome man, sounds like a date."
