AN: Well happy 2018 people, 2017 certainly was a wild ride. Hard to believe that it has been a whole year since I started writing this thing. So I figured for the anniversary of it's creation to update it.

Link sat in silence in his cell, not moving a muscle. He had no clue how long he had been out, or what had happened in that time. As it stood he was surrounded by gray metal on all sides, with strong iron bars blocking his escape. Whoever had captured him was very thorough, as all of his equipment was gone.

In front of the cell sat two guards on wooden chairs, they seemed to be playing a card game of some sort. To the right of them was a metal door, beside it lied a coat rack which held his tunic.

Link sat back once more trying to find a way out of his situation when the door opened with a loud *SLAM*.

"Ah, you're finally awake," said the new entry, as he strolled in.

The man was about medium height with no noticeable things standing out about him. He seemed to hold some respect among the men guarding him, as the two stood up and saluted when he walked in.

"Greetings there," the man began, "my name is Captain –"

The soldier stopped talking as he saw Link turn around as if he weren't even there.

With a small amount of surprise the captain began again, "Perhaps names are not so important, so let us move on shall we?"

The captain now put on a smile, "We are sorry for the way you have been treated, but we need to make sure that you won't run away from us until you answer our questions, is that okay with you?"

Silence

The captain's face fell, "You see we have an informant who has told us about you. Supposedly you have some kind of incredible power on you yes?"

Silence

Face twitching in agitation slightly, the captain went on, "Anyway we have been asked to deliver you to someone who resides in the inner walls on that island, but if you cooperate with us then we may just let you join us! What do you say to that?"

Silence

Nostril's flaring the captain yelled, "Hey what do you think you're doing?! I'm trying to talk to you!"

Reaching into the cell the captain grabbed the back of Link's collar and pulled him towards the bars. The captain then punched Link in the back of the head, sending him to the ground. Still though, Link never made a move.

"Fine then if you won't answer our questions then we'll just send you back to that island in chains. What that Ganondorf guy could want with someone like you I'll never know," the now red faced captain glowered.

As the officer began to reach for the door, Link's voice called out, "Fine."

Turning around the captain saw Link standing up, sending an intimidating glare his way.

Smirking a little the soldier turned back around and walked over to his prisoner.

"Good, now then how about you tell us exactly what this-" the captain was cut off as Link held up his finger.

"One," the hero said, "I'll answer one question, and only if you answer one of mine first. So you better make sure you don't waste it."

Desperate to make any kind of headway the man nodded.

Link narrowed his eyes, "Tell me is there a map of this place, whatever it is?"

The captain looked at Link in disbelief, "Of course this ship has a map, what does that have to do with anything?"

Link looked away from the officer, "So I'm on some sort of boat huh? That makes things more difficult."

Link turned back to the captain, "It means that every single one of you on this boat is going to die."

The captain stared at Link with a slack jaw before guffawing, "Oh yeah, good luck with that little boy. We know all about your deep pockets, that's why we made sure to remove all your equipment from you. You're stuck in that cell until we want to let you out. Now for my question-" the captain was cut off by Link's finger once more.

The hero gave a smirk, "Ah, ah, ah, you already asked your question, remember?"

The captain stood in disbelief, before his face turned to that of rage. Link doubled over as the captain rammed his fist into his gut.

"Now you listen here you little brat, you may think you're clever but your not. Once this ship lands, you're going straight back to Paradis, gift wrapped for its new ruler. That I can guarantee."

With that the captain left, leaving Link alone with the two guards once more. The only thing that seemed to have changed is that Link's face now held a downright evil grin.

Ganon's Castle

Trei was tasting victory as Ganondorf struggled to get up again. The fight was not over yet, but it was starting to become obvious that Trei had the upper hand. Little did the knight now, he was not actually fighting the real Ganondorf.

Knowing that people might think he was gone, the real Ganondorf left behind his phantom to hold the illusion that he was still in Hyrule. Thinking that no one would attempt to fight him he saw no issue with not making the phantom any more powerful.

"Ugh, you've certainly got some skill, knight," the phantom spat out.

Trei smirked, "I know, I am extraordinarily powerful. A bit tougher than that so called "Hero" wouldn't you say?"

"Don't make me laugh, you may have some skill, but you are far below Link ever was," Phantom Ganon thought to himself as he finally drew his sword.

"What's this, you're going to fight me in sword combat? Please I'm the greatest swordsman in all the land," Trei boasted.

"Grr, master hurry up and return so I may be free of this welp's insufferable gloating," the phantom growled under his breath.

With Link

Link studied the guards, making sure their attention was purely on the cards and wine in front of them. Once he was sure he was no longer being watched, he began to move performing the magic he had received so long ago.

Slowly a green orb formed above him, floating in mid-air. Once Link was done working the spell, the orb sped through the bars and hovered directly in front of the iron door that the captain had come through.

"Return to warp point," Link whispered to himself, before he felt himself be moved from where he stood to taking the place of the green orb.

The soldiers were oblivious to his freedom, and continued to play their game. Not wanting to risk being found out, Link quietly picked up a bottle of wine from the ground and snuck over to his prey.

The first soldier never knew what killed him as Link brought the bottle down on his head, hard. The bottle shattered and the now dead man fell to the ground.

The second guard attempted to scream, but was too slow as his throat was sliced open by the sharp edges of the broken bottle. Leaving the man to drown in his own blood, Link walked over to the coat rack and retrieved his tunic. He cursed under his breath as he found that his item belt was nowhere to be found.

Trying the door, Link was not surprised to see that it was locked. Walking back to the now dead soldiers, he stifled through their uniforms until he found what he was looking for.

Link headed back to the door to unlock it when he heard it being unlocked from the other side.

The captain from before walked into the room only to see the mess that had been left behind.

"What, what happened in here?!" The captain wondered aloud.

"I told you," Link began, appearing behind the trembling man, "every single one of you was going to die."

The captain only had time to turn around and see his attacker before Link jammed the glass bottle he used earlier into the man's face, taking both of his eyes.

As he watched the man writhe in pain Link's eye flashed white for just a moment, before he repeatedly stomped on the captain's head until the soldier moved no more.

Link once more looked over the dead body, taking the captain's keys. Turning to the door he walked out, ready to fulfill his promise to the now deceased officer. There would be no survivors.

AN: Sorry if this is kind of short, I wanted to make it longer but I mainly wanted to get this out today. I will try and upload the next chapter by at least the end of the month. See you next time!
