Day 4

At the beginning of the day, Navi had suggested that, since Dark Link had been defeated, they should move quickly to Hyrule Temple, so that they could break the Seal of Time. However, she was halted, as one Link had a further accusation to make.


This Link was known as the Twilight Princess Link. He was older and physically stronger than most of the other Links. His most unique quality, however, was that he could transform into a wolf.

Through Navi, Twilight Princess Link explained that he had been using his wolf abilities to investigate the other Links during the night time. So far, he had smelled the blood of the hero on every one of them, but he made an astonishing find the last night…

Twilight Princess Link accused the Blue Four Swords Link of being another impostor!


Naturally, Blue Link’s two remaining allies, the Red and Purple Links, began to defend him, but then remembered the events of the last night. They had thought the wolf was the evil one when they chased him away from Blue Link… but perhaps it was the other way around!


“Well, then, what do you have to say for yourself, huh? Even your friends have suspected you, now.”

Blue Link began giggling uncontrollably, which was very odd for the usually cool and collected member of the group. The giggling soon began maniacal, obnoxious laughter, and Blue Link’s eyes began to glow red. Then, all of a sudden, he exploded, splattering chunks of Link and blue clothing in all directions. Where he stood was a small ball of darkness, which expanded into a human shape.


As soon as his mouth was formed again, Shadow Link began emitting his signature high-pitched obnoxious laughter again. He began multiplying, until there were soon well over a dozen Shadow Links, all with their weapons raised and ready to fight.

The remaining 7 Links braced themselves for attack, and began hacking away.

The Original Link and the Link to the Past found themselves using their respective special weapons, the Boomerang and the Hookshot, to stun the numerous Shadow Links around them, making them easier to cut down. Conversely, Adult Ocarina of Time Link found his Megaton Hammer to be largely ineffective against the swift Shadow Links, finding his Master Sword to be more useful. His younger counterpart also began cutting a bloody swathe through the swarm of Shadow Links with his Razor Sword. The two remaining Four Swords Links found themselves quickly surrounded, and managed to fend them off using their signature Team Spin Attack. Twilight Princess Link promptly transformed into a wolf as soon as the battle began, finding his more feral form better suited to combating the mischievous Shadow Links.


But no matter how many of the Shadow Links they destroyed, the original kept multiplying and keeping the fight going. The real Links were beginning to tire. Young Link, surrounded by the dark creatures, tried a Spin Attack to fend them off, but heard a nasty crack when his blade connected. It had shattered to pieces. That must have been his 100th slash… in hindsight, he realized he probably should have invested in a little Gold Dust after all. Surrounded and with no weapon, he pulled out his emergency backup:


As soon as the mask was placed on Young Link’s face, a blinding light forced the others to close their eyes. Consequently, it also destroyed most of the Shadow Links. When the light cleared, though, all gasped at the sight of what was previously Young Link.


He had become one with the Fierce Deity. Surrounded by an aura of energy, which was dark, and yet not malignant, he stepped up to the last remaining Shadow Link, the original. Shadow Link, tiny in comparison to the towering figure, let out a small squeak and began fleeing in the opposite direction. Swinging his blade, Fierce Deity Link let out waves of energy that sliced into Shadow Link. He then teleported himself in front of the crippled creature. With a single slash, he split Shadow Link in two, destroying him utterly.

But as quickly as it had begun, it ended. The remaining magic within the Fierce Deity’s Mask ran out, and Young Link returned to his normal form. The other Links stared at him in awe for a few seconds, and then began running to catch up when they realized he was heading for the Temple and not waiting for them.

LINK VICTORY!
