A magnificent black stallion galloped through the fields of Hyrule. His rider was a tall, broad, muscular man with flaming red hair and dark skin. His face was determined and almost fearless.
Ganondorf was searching for Link, who had been kidnapped the previous night.
Link's wife and the Twilight Princess, Midna, wanted to come with, but Ganondorf wouldn't allow it. He told her that she had to stay and take care of the children. He told her that it was what Link would want her to do. Even when she begged him, Ganondorf refused to let her come.
She'd definitely give him an ear full when he got back home!
At this thought, Ganondorf couldn't help but chuckle.
He went to Hyrule Castle to seek the help of Princess Zelda. She gave him an compass that would show him what dierection Link was in and would glow when he got close to where the hero was.
After thanking her, Ganondorf set off. Following the compass he headed east, towards the Gerudo Desert. He was, of course, blocked. The compass was glowing, but he knew Link wasn't in the desert!
Where was he?
Suddenly Ganondorf felt himself falling!
THUD!
He landed hard on the ground. After a moment he lifted his head and looked around.
"What? I'm back as Hyrule Castle?"
He looked at the castle and became aware of the sound of a river.
"That's odd. There hasn't been a river by Hyrule Castle since..."
Ganondorf froze as he realized the truth. He had gone back in time! He was back in the era of the Hero of Time!
Hyrule had changed over the few centuries he had been in the Twilight.
He realized that compass was glowing and pointing to the east again.
Ganondorf knew all too well what was in that direction. The very people he had abondoned during this time when he bacme the King of Evil, the Gerudos!
He saw that his horse wasn't very far away, mounted it, and cantered towards the place he had been born and grew up with a twisted childhood, one of the reasons he became evil.
He cleared the gap in the bride easily and slowed his horse to a trot. Once he entered the village he slowed to a walk. He knew fully well that he was being watched by two or more unseen Gerudo women.
He was the last Gerudo upon being the last male Gerudo. He could only pray the Hero of Time had not yet learned of his purpose and drawn the Master Sword. If so, the Gerudo women would be upon him the moment he was up in the ridge, the perfect place to be attacked!
Luckily, it was not so.
The Gerudo women bowed as he rode by.
"Lord Ganondorf."
"Yes?" he asked as he stopped his horse to acknowledge the Gerudo that had spoken.
"Your mother wishes to speak with you."
Ganondorf's blood boiled at the thought of his mother! How he despised that woman!
"Thank you. I will go right now." he said, not letting his anger and bitterness show in any way.
Horrible mermories of his mother's cruelty and abuse towards him filled his mind. She had made his childhood a living nightmare!
He hoped she knew something about Link.
