The Heroes' Rebirth - REVISITED | BOTW Sequel/Zelink (The Legend of Zelda)

Chapter 20: All In

Dark took over. "Yesterday, we sent a group to Kakariko."

Link and Zelda's hearts dropped.

"They were going to scout out the area and report back to us, but..." he began to laugh. "But with both of you here there's no threat. Who'd protect the village? That fossil Impa? Her cowardly granddaughter?" He cackled. "There is no doubt in my mind that they've burned the place to the ground along with everyone there."

Zelda's eyes began to water. "No," she shook her head. "Sheik is there. He could've defended the village, right?" She turned to Link with hopeful eyes. "He's strong."

"I..." his voice was hoarse. "I don't know."

"With the village gone, all we need is you," Dark said.

"Yiga ready!" Kanto shouted.

The Yiga soldiers drew their weapons and prepared to strike the army inside. The Gerudo held up their shields in response.

"I'd have thought you would put up more of a fight, Link," Dark taunted. "I know I certainly would have." He stood face to face with Link like he had during their first encounter.

"Guess the world only allows one hero at a time," he sneered, pointing to himself. He turned away and walked to Kanto.

"No," Link said shortly.

Dark turned back.

Link took Zelda's hand in his. "There's two standing right here."

Dark Link chuckled. "Do you really want that to be your last words?"

All of a sudden, one of the blademasters in the circle clutched his chest, staggered back, and collapsed onto the sand. Everyone turned to the fallen soldier. The Yiga next to him kneeled down and checked his body. On the ground next to him was a slender piece of metal, almost like a needle.

A needle.

Link quickly snapped his head to where the needle had come from. It was a cliff on the right that stood at about 30 feet high. Zelda followed his eyes. Soon, everyone was staring at the cliff.

Looking down from the cliff was Sheik. He stood tall wearing his signature outfit, scarf and all. Walking up behind him was Paya. She wore only her blue tank top that was usually under her robe. Sheik wrapped his arm around her bare shoulder and teleported down to the sand.

The ground began to shake. They could all feel a rumbling in their body. It grew louder and louder until from around the other side of the cliff emerged a gigantic Goron. He turned into a ball and rolled up to where Sheik and Paya stood. He popped up, showing his gigantic arms, extremely small legs and a boulder breaker slung across his back. He wore a blue cape around his neck and a small tuft of white hair on his head. He seemed slightly nervous, but kept a strong face.

There was then a rustling in the sky above them. A gigantic white bird circled the silent battlefield and appeared to have someone riding on his back. It eventually landed with a gust of wind next to Paya. The bird had magnificent white feathers and wore a gray chest piece with dark armor around it. In his right wing was a great eagle bow.
