They didnât know what to expect when they ventured down deep below Hyrule Castle. Zelda always heard the stories growing up, that the true evil lies beneath them. She never paid it much mind.. but then the calamity happened.
That was of course years ago. Hyrule was being rebuilt, the calamity was gone. She was free to delve back into her research. But the calamity itself brought forth new questions, with answers that could all be waiting right under her feet.
Link was given a brief summary of the legends before he was dragged down to the deepest parts of Hyrule castle. Zelda seemed adamant on starting right away, but this left Link on edge. He spent a lot of time working his way through malice infested places, and the deeper down the path they went, the stronger those memories came back to him. He could still hear it, the sounds of the malice as its magenta veins flowed through the large masses that covered the castle and divine beasts alike. It was sickening, and now he couldnt even tell if it was just in his head or if it was coming from deeper below them.
The calamity did a lot of things to Link. He was quieter than ever before once everything was over. The smallest of noises put him on edge, and sleep was even harder to come by. But despite these vices, he stayed close by Zeldaâs side as she went further down, torch in hand as she examined the many etchings that covered the wall.
âThis one looks like the beginning of the first calamity.. It appears that the malice took hold of a gerudo male but.. Urbosa told me a long time ago, Gerudo Males arent common. In fact, she told me that the only Gerudo male sheâs ever heard of was Ganondorf, but he was just a clever guise that malice took⊠But this tells a different story. Link, Iâm afraid that maybe..â Zelda trailed off as she noticed the swirling green vortex that awaited them at the very bottom. Her eyes widened as her jaw dropped at the sight. All this time, itâs been right under their noses. This was the source of the evil that plagued Hyrule for so long.
Zelda gazed curiously at the mummified remains that sat at the epicenter of the vortex. It was most certainly a Gerudo, judging by the red hair that remained and the shiny golden medallion resting on its chest. The build appeared to be male as well, which matched up to the wall side etchings.
Link gazed at the figure with apprehension, he new that face.. Hylia did he know that face. Water, Wind, Thunder, Fire⊠they all shared his face. This was the face that took everything from him.. calamity Ganon.
His body resembled that of the monks Link had encountered in the shrines he ventured into. Though he new that this man was no where near as benevolent as they were.
Zelda had gotten a little too close for Linkâs comfort by the time he snapped out of his daze. She studied the remains closely, trying to wrap her head around it. But then, in the fragile silence surrounding them both, crackling was heard.
Crackling Link knew from anywhere.
Ganonâs fingers snapped shut as he clenched his fist, his head snapped over to face Zelda, eyes tearing open to reveal the blood red irises within. The swirling of the vortex got faster, hands forming and descending upon whoever was close enough to grab.
Link didnât even stop to think his actions through, his body acted without him. He grabbed Zelda by her arm harshly as he threw her behind him. He had to make sure she got out of here.
Zelda hit the ground hard as she landed a good distance away from her knight. Her eyes widened as the hands closed in on Link, seizing his arm roughly. âLink! We need to get out of here!â
The malice already had him in its grasp, pain coursing through his body. Flashes of memories came flooding to his mind, memories that werenât his.
Time and time again he saw through the eyes of someone else, a boy that looked just like him swinging the master sword down for a final blow. Link soon realized that these were Ganondorfâs memories.
âItâs not very pretty.. is it? Having your life ended by a mere child whom youâve never seen before, forever wondering what youâve done to end up here.â
It was a voice he didnt know, deep and gravely, almost as if heâd been screaming out in pain. The room around him was pitch black, though he was certain that this was all only in his head. A small amount of light radiated off of his body, but that didnt reveal the source of this voice.
âNo light will reach this place, boy. You are locked away deep within your own mind. You are now a prisoner to the malice.â
A flurry of blue flames burst to life in front of him, a tall Gerudo Male materializing before him.
âI am Ganondorf⊠The last King of the Gerudo⊠The first prisoner of the malice.â
Link couldnt believe what he was seeing. But more importantly, he couldnt believe that he let himself become a prisoner.
âI know what youâre thinking, little one. I myself had a hard time believing I let myself become corrupted by the ancient evil. But do not fret, this does not make you a bad person. You are merely a victim to Hyliaâs plan.â
Link sat there silently, somehow finding strange comfort in the old kingâs words. But deep down he knew, his body was being used to destroy everything he had worked his whole life to save.
His body was being used to devastate the lives he personally helped, the friends he made.
His body was going to bring the new calamity..
It was Zeldaâs voice cutting through the darkness around him. Why was she still here? She shouldâve ran! He wanted to run to her, to protect her from.. from who?
Zelda gazed at Linkâs form before her, but everything was wrong. His breathing was ragged, his head was hung low, each step he took towards her echoed heavily in the silent of the room. âLink please! You must snap out of it!â
Zeldaâs cries fell on deaf ears. He wasnât stopping, he couldnât. He could only watch as Zelda cowered in fear.. fear of him. Fear of what he was going to do to her. His eyes met her terror filled ones as her back hit the wall. Zeldaâs lip quivered as tears began to fall.
âIâve truly lost everyone⊠I am.. Alone..â
Zeldaâs tear filled eyes gazed upon the corrupted form of her appointed knight again, his once blue eyes now blood red. His long hair was now undone, its golden luster now taking on a sickly platinum hue, the wind from the vortex swirling around him, to muse his hair even more. His gaze was cold and unforgiving, intricate red patterns crawling up his neck and face.
Link looked deep into Zeldaâs wide eyes as he spoke his first words in over 100 years:
âAre you prepared to fight the monster you created, your majesty?â
The true calamity is upon them nowâŠ
