A Mario and Zelda crossover

Author's Note: If I use any at all, I use canon pairings only.

Summary: Link (from OoT/MM) meets the Mario Bros. as they work together to save their respective princesses from the others nemesis. This is not supposed to be a serious story. Warning: the fourth wall will be broken. Nothing inappropriate, though. :)

From his place in the Sacred Realm, Ganondorf had a wonderful view of the alternate Hyrule. He thought he would spend his time in exile studying the lands around Hyrule, seeing if he could find some new minions, as most of his had been killed by Link. He wasn't too happy about that. He looked over into the neighbouring Mushroom Kingdom, which nobody in Hyrule paid any attention to for some reason, for troops. He wondered why nobody even knew it was there... However, that didn't delay him from learning all about the princess, the local hero, and especially the potential minions if he were to join forces with the evil king there. He needed all the support he could get; after all, it was only a matter of time before he quit being banished...

It was a peaceful day in Hyrule. Link was back from Termina, and he was relaxing in Hyrule Field. He thought of going to the castle to see Zelda. He tried not to show it, but Link really did have a huge crush on her.

I'm just glad that the 'Hero of Time' thing is over, he thought. After saving two whole worlds from two different evils, Link welcomed a break. He hoped he wouldn't have to do anymore princess saving for a while. Well, poor him; if I had meant for him to take a break, I wouldn't have started this story in the first place.

The Mushroom Kingdom was also enjoying peaceful times. Mario and Luigi had just saved Princess Peach (again) and were now at the castle eating Peach's homemade cake.

"Mm, this cake is really good!" said Luigi, after finishing his second piece. Mario nodded in agreement.

"Well, it's the least I could do after you two saved me from Bowser... again. I wish someone else would kidnap me, for a change."

"But wouldn't it be better for you not to be kidnapped at all?"

"Eat your cake."

Meanwhile, at Bowser's castle, Ganondorf had managed to contact Kamek, Bowser's right-hand koopa.

"Excuse me, Your Evilness; I'm here to tell you that I received a message in my crystal ball. The sender called himself Ganon, and he seems to be from the nearby kingdom of Hyrule."

"Hmm, I've never heard of Hyrule. What does this guy want?"

"He claims to be a fellow evil king, and wishes to speak to the most powerful person in the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Well, he obviously means me! Let me speak to him." Bowser waited impatiently for Kamek to fetch his crystal ball. When Kamek returned, Bowser was excited to meet this potential ally.

"Hello, this is Ganon, king of the Gerudo. I wish to make an alliance with the almighty King Bowser. However, I have recently been sealed away by the Hero of Time. I hear you wish for the fair Princess Peach. If you would find some way to free me, I would take your princess and make her sure to fall for you. All you must do is capture the princess of Hyrule, Zelda. Rescuing her should keep the Hero of Time occupied long enough to prepare the girl of your dreams."

"Wait a second. I, the powerful King Bowser, am a diversion? You get to do all the important stuff while I distract the hero? That's not fair. I won't do it!"

"Princess Zelda has an artefact of incredible power. Rather, she has a piece of it. I have another piece; the hero has the last one. If you manage to defeat the hero, Link, and claim his piece, we could use the complete artefact, the Triforce, to become the ultimate rulers of Hyrule and the Mushroom Kingdom!"

"Hmm… Yeah, I like the sound of that! In addition, you kidnapping Peach should keep that annoying Mario out of my way. You should feel lucky. I don't let just anyone kidnap Peach, but you have my special permission."

Then it's a deal. First, I need to escape the Sacred Realm. That is sort of important to the plan..."

"Oh, right. I can use these Power Stars Mario didn't recover last time I kidnapped Peach." With that, Bowser used his stars to free Ganondorf. Unfortunately, something went wrong, causing Ganondorf to end up in midair. He fell down face first on top of Bowser almost immediately.

"What was that for?" Ganondorf yelled angrily at the author.

"Sorry," I said, "but I thought it was pretty funny. Now don't you two have some princesses to kidnap?"

Thanks for reading! (And yes, there is a reason why Ganondorf uses the name Ganon while speaking to Bowser. I might do something woth the 'dorf' part later...) :)
