Lying on the ground gasping for breathe, Link could barely move. He was in pain and worse, he could hear Zelda panting trying to blast Ganon away. But he was to powerful and she too was tired like Link. I can't give up!, Link thought to himself, I have to destroy Ganon once and for all! Link got up and wiped the blood from his mouth.

"You better stay away from her you worthless Hylian!" Link shouted at Ganondorf. But all he did was laugh at Link.

"You think that I'll stop just because of an insult?! If that's what you think then you're a fool and should be taught a lesson!" Ganondorf bellowed and smacked Link to the ground.

"Nothing you do is going to stop me from saving the woman I love." Link said, struggling to get to his feet. Zelda came running towards Link, crying. She hugged him and cried uncontrollably.

"Don't be a fool, Link! You can't win this fight. You're to tired." Zelda said, her voice breaking up.

"He won't get you. I made a vow to myself and Faroe that he wouldn't take you, no matter what. I'll fight for until judgement day. Even in Death, Ganondorf couldn't stop me." Zelda's tears had left a watery stain on Link's tunic, but then again, so had his blood and sweat. Ganondorf growled and said "This is getting annoying having this useless girl interrupt a battle!" Ganondorf then kicked Zelda off Link and she fell to the ground with a deep gash in her head. But she was barely bleeding. Ganon had just knocked her out.

"And to stop her from interrupting again, I'll lock her in a crystal that will only break if I were to lose this fight!" Ganondorf does as he says and Zelda's body is preserved in it but now her head bleeds blood that is almost black. Link doesn't have much time to save her soul.

"How you can hit a girl and not feel remorse is disgusting. And hitting a goddess in front of me is the worst mistake anyone can make. You will know what pain feels like when this battle is over!" Link screamed, having his eyes on fire and feeling like all of his strength was back.

"You only have an hour to save her so cut the talk and let's fight!" Saying that, the rain poured down hard. Thunder roared and lightning flashed violently in the night sky. Both Link and Ganon were drenched with rain, sweat, and blood. Swords clashed and neither of them would give the least bit sign of weakness. Link used all the knowledge of sword fighting that he knew but it wasn't good enough. Ganon was using his powers to throw Link off balance. This isn't fair!, Link thought to himself, he's using his powers as a cheat and should be punished. I pray to the Creators Din, Nayru, and Faroe, give me god strength to defeat this fiend! At first, the rain continued to pour and the thunder roared just as loud. Until a light appeared between Link and his foe. The light was golden and had a pure glow. Link could see figures in it. It was the goddesses themselves! They've come in answer of Link's prayer!

"Thou has cheated in this fight, Sir Ganondorf of the Gerudos!" Nayru said calmly.

"You have misused the power and trust of the gods, Ganon!" Faroe seemed more angry.

"Worst of all, you have dishonored me. I chose you to hold my piece and you used it to hit a fellow goddess and rule Heaven and Earth." Din was furious. She had chose Ganon to hold her piece thinking he would not miss use the power. The goddesses became a light again and shot themselves into Link. He fell in shock and saw his body glow with a golden light. His cuts and bruises had disappeared and he had regained his strength.

"I have my strength back and more! Now, I can complete my destiny!" Link ran toward Ganon with the Master sword. The rain had poured harder and the lightning flashed closer to their battle. Zelda had about ten minutes. Before she would belong to Heaven. But Link was determined to get her out before she would die. Link took one last slash at Ganon.

"AAAAAAHHHH!!!" Ganon yelled in pain. He dropped to the ground, gasping for air. "I'll get you in my next life. That is a promise. Both of you will die slow, bloody, and painfully..."Ganon fell dead to the ground after saying those words. The crystal Zelda was laying in evaporated and she slowly got up. She staggered toward Link, but fell a couple feet before him. The goddesses left Link and returned to Heaven to watch over them.

"Zelda!" Link ran to get her. "Hang in there, Zelda. You aren't gonna die! Hang onto your life!" Link started to shed tears of great sorrow and held onto Zelda's hand.

Link...play..the ocarina..play the song of time..to reverse...back seven years. Quickly..before my life ends..." Zelda said that and closed her eyes. She did in fact let a tear fall.

"Zelda, don't go!" Link's tears came out more and became larger.

"Link, hurry and play the Song of Time! Your hands still glow so you still have god powers. Quickly!" Navi shouted and started to shed tears too. She and Zelda had been great friends and she never wanted to see her go this horribly.

"You're right. I can't let Ganon win." Link then began to play the Song o Time. The rain still poured but the thunder and lightning stopped. All six of the sages appeared in their Chamber Circle and shot a light out of the Temple of Time. From Death Mountain to the edge of Lake Hylia, the light reached and everything changed back to it's state seven years ago. Link fell in exhaustion. Navi witnessed Hyrule Castle reappear. Link's body became small and Zelda changed back to her state too. Navi herself, became seven years younger. All of them, except Ganondorf, were lying in the Castle Courtyard. Zelda had no gash in her head and Link was no longer bloody.

"Uh..."Zelda once again slowly got up and looked around. Her face seemed confused and realized that she was alive and well. She was small and young. "Link! You did it! You've reversed time!...Link?" Link was still o the ground dozed off. Zelda: crawled over to him and hugged him. She had never been so happy to see Link. She remembered everything that happened up until Ganon bashed her head.

Link awoke to tears of joy from Zelda, Navi, and Impa. Impa had noticed them just appear and ran over to see what happened. "Uh..my head hurts." Link looked around. He saw all three girls bent over him. Zelda had the happiest face on but her eyes watered. Link knew that Zelda was crying in joy and not sorrow. "So, he's gone?"

"Not from the past. He had just arrived thirty minutes ago." Impa told him.

"But we can stop him before history repeats itself!" Navi exclaimed. Link got up and look around agin. "We really are here. This isn't a dream! YAHOO!!!!" Link shouted. "It isn't a dream!"

Zelda joined in his rejoicing and they began running and spinning all over the place. Navi had gotten trampled a couple times in the process but she was ok. The sun shined for what seemed forever and Link had to leave Zelda or Daphnes would catch him in the castle again.

"Zelda, when I said that you were the woman I loved, I wasn't kidding. I'm serious. I've thought about you ever since we met." Link told Zelda. Zelda then grabbed his hands. Hers were warm and Zelda's face gleamed in the sun, even though it was sunset. She was even more beautiful in the sunset then in moonlight.

"Link, I knew you meant it all. You had a fire in your eyes. When you say something from your heart, your eyes get that way. But, I must ask for ocarina back. I need it to lock Ganon away if he ever tries to do this again." Zelda says. Link takes the ocarina out and puts a ring made out of all three of the Spiritual Stones broken pieces. Zelda doesn't notice because of a glare in her eyes. Link hands her the ocarina. "And Zelda, keep the ring." Link walks away with Navi resting on his shoulders. Zelda watches him leave and shouts to him "Promise me you'll come back tomorrow!" and Link shouts back, "It's a date!" And he runs off in the sunset having guards yell at him for sneaking into the castle.

"What did he mean keep the ring?" Zelda asked herself. As she moves, the ocarina rattles. "Huh?" she turns it upside down and the ring that Link made popped out. It gleamed and projected a reflection of the Triforce with it's colors I the right place. "Oh my god! It's beautiful! You should take care of that, Zelda.. Link made that for you." Impa says still staring at the ring.

There's an inscription on the back!, Zelda thinks, 'I hope that one day we can be together forever. Love, Link.' One day, we will be together. In life or death.
