Mina's adventure
Chapter 2: The Forest Temple



Mina just looked at him and smiled unsure, "Sure okay. Whatever you say. Stay close, don't get lost and watch out for psychopathic kids and crazy stuff. Got all that. Now if you could hit me upside the head then maybe I'll wake up at home."
Link looked at Mina and Navi flew out of his pocket. She then started hovering around Mina, "For his partner you sure are scared." Mina glared at the fairy, "If you don't get your glowing ass away from me, I'll-" She decided to leave it at that and change the subject, "Which way are we going?" Link listen for a second and pointed right, "That way."
Link started off in the direction with Navi hovering around him and Mina behind him. He lead them through a couple more of the paths `til he came to a stop. Mina was admiring the scenery. There was a little lake at the far end of the area with what look like a white building under it, so she just stopped not knowing why. She then turned to see why Link had stopped.
"Hey why did we stop? Are we there?" Mina asked.
Link shook his head and stepped to the side, so Mina could see a little boy with blond hair and freckles standing in the way. Link then leaned over towards Mina ear, "He's why we stopped. His name is Mido." "Well move him." Mina whispered back. Link shrugged, "I'll try." Link looked at Mido, "Hey we need to get through." Mido crossed his arms and shook his head, "Sorry. No can do." "Why?" Mina asked.
"I made a promise to Saria that I wouldn't let anybody through and I'm sticking to it." "Its great that your sticking to a promise, but we really need to get through." Mina explained. Mido shook his head again, "Nope!"
"I'll give you a dollar!"
Mido gave her a blank stare, "A what?" Mina smacked her forehead, "Oh my god, he doesn't know what a dollar is?" "Hey neither to I!" Link exclaimed, "What is it?" "I'll explain it later. Move the kid."
"Okay." Link looked back at Mido, "What is it that I need to do for you to let us pass. Some task, stop some stupid monsters, find something, give you something, bring you something, take something to someone."
"Nothing, because I'm not letting you pass."
"OH COME ON!" Mina yelled.
Link was thinking to himself, "Maybe if I proved to him that I know Saria he'll let me pass, but how." "Maybe you should play him Saria's song!" Navi suggested.
"Great idea Navi!" Link turned back to Mido, "Try this!" He pulled out his Ocarina, put it to his lips and played the song. When he was done Mido was shocked and Mina was nodding.
"That tune," Mido breathed out, "That's Saria's song. She only teaches her friends that song." Mido looked at Link, "All right, I'll let you pass." He then looked at Mina, "But she has to stay here." "Why?" Both her and Link asked.
"Cause she cute!"
Mina made a face of disturbance and jumped over Mido, "I could have done that before! Why didn't I? Because I was listening to Link!"
Mido moved out of the way of Link and as Link walked by he whispered to himself, "When I look at you, I see him."
Link glanced at Mido, but said nothing and continued. He found Mina standing in the middle of the next four pathways, "Which way now?" She asked.
Link closed his eyes and pointed straight. He then opened them and caught to Mina, who had already ran through the path. He took lead and made a fast left and then a right. When they entered the next area it looked nothing like the other paths. In fact, it wasn't even paths. There were walks with a single opening leading somewhere.
"This is the Scared Meadow." Link explained walking forward with Mina, who was looking around behind him. Mina looked at him and noticed he was peeping around the corner, so she creeped up next to him, "Whatca doing?" "Ssshhh!" Link hissed, "There is a monster around this corner. I need to catch it when it isn't looking."
"Oh."
Mina leaned against the wall and Link jumped in the open pulled out his hookshot and hit the monster in the back, "Okay, cost is clear."
Mina came out in the open to see a brown creature with only black underwear and boots on. In its hand was a spear, "Cool."
Link walked ahead, "I'm pretty sure there are more on each path, so be-" "There's one right there and there!" Mina exclaimed.
Link turned around and didn't see Mina, he then looked up to see her on the grass wall, "How'd you get up there?"
Mina glanced at him, "Well it wasn't that hard. I jumped!" She explained.
"You jumped?" Navi questioned flying around her, "You just jumped?" Mina nodded slowly, "Yeah. That's pretty much it. I jumped." She then ignored the fairy, "Are you coming up?" "I can't jump that far up!" Link yelled.
"Oh well I'll give you cover." Mina then jumped to the next wall and pulled out her sword. She pointed it at the creature and shot the crescent beam out of it killing the monster, "I'll never get sick of that." She giggled, "Cost clear!" Link ran around the corner as Mina jumped to the next wall, "Where's the next monster?" "Turn now! Its not looking!" Link turned the corner with his hookshot ready and fired at the monster. Mina had taken out the one in the next row clearing the path. He took out the next two and made it to some stairs as Mina jumped down. They heard loud roaring as they creeped up the stairs.
"I wonder what this could be." Mina joked.
Both her and Link were surprise to see how big the next one of those creatures were. He was at least 9 feet tall and instead of a spear had a club and was smashing the dirt up. Link took a hasty step forward only to be hit by the path of dirt the creature smashed up and sent into Mina and they both fell down the stairs. Both of them laid there on their backs for a minute or two.
"Okay next time, warn me before you go and try something like that." Mina breathed out.
Link nodded, "Okay." He held his hand in the air, so Mina could see it, "We get up on three." She nodded, "One, two, three." Neither one of them move, "I thought you were going to get up." "I thought you were." Mina replied.
Navi flew down the steps and floated over the two, "You two better get up. We have business to take care of."
She flew off and they sat up then stood up dusting their clothes off, "Okay, so we know what the dirt does, so let's avoid it." Link planned.
Once they were up the stairs Link went to the right edge and Mina went left. The monster went for Link again, who moved towards the middle and then went for Mina who did the same. It went for the middle and they both jumped back to the side they were on and made it pass him by rolling under his arms. Link drew his sword as did Mina and started swiping at him from behind `til it died.

They both walked up more stairs and forward entering a little area where a large gray platform with the triforce symbol was and a building was on top of a platform.
"So are we there now?" Mina asked looking at the area.
"No not yet, but we almost are." Link answered. He ran forward towards a tree trunk next to the building. Mina, who didn't put as much effort, walked towards it. Right when she arrived someone dropped from the far end of them.

The guy's face was covered and you could only see his blond hair and eyes. He was wearing blue and white with an eye in the middle of his shirt.
"Hello again, Link." He said.
"Sheik." Link muttered. "Who?" Mina asked, "I didn't quite hear you."
"I am Sheik." He introduced.
"Well I'm-" "I know, Mina. The other destined warrior of time."
Mina grinned for a second, `I'm not the warrior time, Pluto is.' She thought to herself, "Well nice to meet you."
"The forest is quite dangerous and time is of the essence, so remember the `Minuet of Forest' and you will be able to come back here." He pulled out a harp and began to play. (A/N: I wish I could play it for you. Its a cool tune.) When he finished about six notes, Link played the same notes and then both of them began to play. When it was over they heard clapping. Sheik and Link both looked at the tree trunk to find Mina sitting down and clapping.
"That was beautiful! Encore, Encore!"
Sheik looked back at Link, "Good luck and I will see you again, heroes of time." He backed away and Link covered his face from the bright flash as he smashed the Deku Nut on the ground. Mina didn't and was blinking, so she could see again.
"You really need to warn me about those things, okay?"
"Okay." Link pulled out his hookshot, "I'm going up. You coming with me?"
Mina nodded and jumped up. Link blinked for a second before shooting his hookshot into the tree trunk.
"How can you jump so high?" Mina shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I just can." She walked forward with Link and Navi in tow, "So are we there now?" Link walked up to her side and drew his sword and shield as he nodded, "Yes, get ready for some fighting." Mina nodded understandingly and pulled out her sword and shield as well. They walked a few steps forward before two wolves appeared and began to attack at them.
"I got the one of the left!" Link explained, "You take the other one."
Mina nodded and jumped out of the way of a swipe from the wolf. Link had backflipped away from a serious of swipes. He then jumped in the air with his sword above his head and sliced down hitting the wolf. It cried out and hit Link to the ground. He quickly got up and slash downward slicing the wolf's chest and killing it.

Mina bounced off the wall of the creature and landed behind it. When it turned around she slashed upward at its chest injuring it and then sideways; killing it. She turned around to see Link climbing on some vines, "Ugh...what are you doing?" "I'm climbing. Something you probably don't do a lot of!" He exclaimed.
"I can see that, but why!?"
"Because I want to see what's in the trees!"
"I'm sure this is just making everything longer." Mina muttered.

Link made it to the top. He looked around and spotted a treasure chest on the other tree trunk. He walked on the tree trunk and looked down.
"I heard its bad to look down!" Mina yelled to him." He only smirked, "I'm not afraid of heights!" He pulled out his hookshot once again and aimed at the treasure chest, "This thing is really handy." He gripped to the chest and it pulled him towards it. After kicking it opened he pulled out a key, "I knew it was a good idea to come up here." He jumped out the tree and landed next to Mina, "I found a key." "To what?" She pointed at the door, "The door's already unlocked." "Then it must be for something inside the temple." Navi said and flew forward with the two them behind her.

Mina opened the door and ran inside.
"Hey Mina slow down. There might be a monster here somewhere." Link warned.
Mina stopped and took this as a note and started looking around. She spotted something on the roof, "Ewe! ITS A GIANT SPIDER!" She exclaimed.
Link sighed, "Girls." He pulled out his hookshot and nailed the thing making it fall in front of Mina, who shuddered.
"Ewe." Link walked passed her, "Your going to have to get use to that `cause I'm sure those things are everywhere."
He opened the door and walked into the next room, Mina soon followed after she took a deep breath. They both started looking around and then looked at the middle of room where they saw four torches; each one with a different colored fire; red, green, purple, and blue.
"Cool." Link said.
Suddenly the fire went out and a second after four figures appeared that look like ghost; one over each torch and the color of the fire that once was there. In their hands were small versions of the same golden torches. The fire reappeared, but on the torches the ghost were holding and they flew away laughing. A noise from the middle of the room made them revert their attention there. The red elevator went down into the ground.

"That was kinda mean." Mina stated, "That was pretty pointless unless we need to go down that elevator." She then glanced at Link with a cocked head, "Do we need to go down there?" "I guess so." Link replied, "Most likely."
Navi appeared in front of Link, "Listen!"
Link looked at her, "What?" "Before you can go on any further you need to find two more keys. One is in garden and the other is up those stairs straight from here." Navi explained.
Navi lead them to the other side of the room. She floated over to a door that was blocked by a large, blue block, "Link, you go this way." She suggested, "Mina can't get pass this block." "Okay then." Link agreed, "I'll be back here when I'm done. Meet me here. Okay?" Mina nodded and ran over to the stairs, "All right." She ran up the stairs and through the door.

Link pulled out his ocarina and played the song of time and the blue block disappeared. He went through the door and entered a garden area with a small river in the middle. Over on the other side of the river was ruins of a building and a well was to his left. He quickly drew his sword and shield to fight off a Deku Baba (Large purple plant with teeth and bites at you). He slashed at it and killed it. He ran over to the left and backflipped out the way of a rock sent by a Octorok (Purple, it swims and it shoots rocks at people), using his shield he reflected one of the rocks back at the creature and killed it. He continued to the well and looked down in it.
"This is where the key is." Navi explained.
"In the well?" Link questioned looking at her.
"Yes." She answered, "You have to find a way to drain the water."
"Ugh...." Link sighed. He turned back around and went back towards the door. He went the pass the door and to the right to see a wall with vines on it, "No switch, but vines. Oh great." He was about to climb when Navi stopped him.
"Look!" She exclaimed, "There are Skullwalltulas (Small spiders that look like skulls that crawl on walls and knock whoever they see off) on these vines!"
"Oh come on!" Link yelled and pulled out his hookshot. He shot the first two, but the third was out his reach, "I should have just done this with Mina. She's got that `crescent beam' thing." He climbed up and made it up slowly not to get the creatures attention. He made it passed it and made it to a ledge where a door was, so he entered. In the room was a Blue Bubble (A floating skull with a blue flame around it)
"Ya know this just really makes my day." Link commented. He blocked the charge attack from the creature with his shield and the blue flame disappeared, so he jumped sliced the thing and killed it. A large treasure chest then appeared, so he opened it, "Its not the key!" He yelled a bit peeved, "Its just the map." He walked out the other door and found another Deku Baba, so he quickly killed it and spotted a red switch on the balcony on the other side. He stood on the railing and used his hookshot to get over there. He stepped on the switch.
"Look Link!" Navi shouted and floated over to the other well, "The water is gone." Link climbed on the railing again and jumped down landing in the water. He ran over to well and jumped inside. He followed Navi `till he found a small treasure chest and opened it.
"Finally!" He climbed up the vines and appeared back in the garden area he was in to begin with, "I wonder if Mina's got her key yet." He walked over to the door and entered it.

(A/N: Brief note, This is at the same time Link was doing his part, so its not after)
Mina entered the hallway and saw a Blue Bubble.
"I wonder what the hell that is?" She asked herself, she shrugged the thought away and drew her sword shooting her crescent beam at it. Nothing happen, "Oh gee, I wonder how I get rid of this damn thing." She thought for a second and then thought for another second, she was going to keep thinking about how to kill the creature if it hadn't charged at her and caused her to block the charge with her shield. The bubble around it vanished and she tired her crescent beam again killing it, "Oh that's how you get rid of those things." She continued down the hall and looked at the roof just in case and then opened the door. A noise followed and she turned to see the door had bars on it, "What the?"
Her attention was brought back to the room she was in which had no other exit, but the now bared door and two stalfos(Skeletons with swords and shields. The most fun monsters to fight in my opinion)
"This doesn't look to good." One of the creatures jumped in the air and slashed down at her. She yelped and backflipped out the way, "Wait! I wasn't ready!" She shouted charging at the creature. It blocked her attack and the other came from her blind spot. It cut her in the arm, but didn't get to do anything else cause she jumped out the way. They both charged at her, but she blocked and sliced at the one on the left hitting it a few times. The other came from behind, but she jumped up and they crashed into each other.
"Time to show you guys who your messin' with." She put away her sword and held that hand in the air. A light began to form in it, "Crescent Shower!" She shot beams downward at the two creatures hitting them both to the ground. The one she had slashed at broke apart, but other didn't. She drew her sword again and started her downward descent towards the still whole one. She hit it and it broke like the first one. Once she landed and had time to catch her breath the pain in her arm kicked in and she grabbed it. She then looked to the middle of the room to see a small chest. She walked over to it and kicked it open and pulled out the key.
"Oh yippee!" She cheered, "Huh?" She spotted a small red fairy in the corner, "I thought Navi was blue and much bigger and was with Link." She walked over to it, "Hey Navi, you can change colors?" The fairy didn't reply instead it floated around her from toe to her head leaving a red trail of light as it did so and then disappeared, "Huh? Wonder what that was all about?" She then noticed that her arm didn't hurt anymore and looked to see it completely healed, "Oh, cool!" She gasped when she remembered that the door was locked and looked at it and saw it wasn't locked no more, "This place sure is weird." She walked out the door and back into the hall and then out the next door.

(A/N: Now this is after Link did his part, so he hasn't been waiting for long. About five minutes)
Link tapped his foot, "Her's was probably long and boring too."
"Incoming!" Mina yelled jumping over the balcony railing and landing in front of Link, "Hi!"
Link stared at her for a moment, "Hello." "I got my key, how about you?" She asked.
"Yeah I got mine." He pulled his key out to show her, "Was yours easy?" "I wouldn't really say easy. I had to fight some skeletons." She explained as they went over to the locked door, "And one hit me in the arm, but this fairy that looked like Navi, but red healed it."
Link unlocked the door and they both entered, "At least you had some kind of action. I had to climb vines and fight a floating blue head, but I got the map." He pulled out the map. "Ugh...Link?" Mina called.
"Yes." He asked not taking his eyes off the map.
"Use your hookshot thingy." He looked at her, "Why?" She pointed at the roof, "That damn spider is back." He smiled and use his hookshot and killed it, "It wasn't the same one." He explained. He opened another door and entered a room with walls everywhere, "Let's see I believe we go this way." He pointed and walked in the direction with Navi and Mina behind him. He climbed up the ladder and Mina settled for jumping up to the next spot. He climbed up another ladder and she did the same, "Do you have a problem with climbing?" He asked.
She shook her head, "No. Why do you ask?" "Cause you don't too much of it." He replied.
She smiled and walked ahead. She walked into the hall and noticed a green blocking cutting one way off, "I bet we go this way." She said pointing at the block.
Link walked next to her, "No actually we go that way." He pointed straight. He walked ahead, "HA!" He exclaimed, "That stupid block is there to get us up to the next level"
"Okay." Mina replied.
He then pointed at Mina, "And your not jumping! Your going to help me move this block." "Ugh...okay." She replied while nodding real slow.
He ran out of view and then after about a minute the block started moving, "Grab that end and pull it `til it covers the path." Link ordered. Mina did so and then heard more running. The block started moving forward, so Mina started pushing it, "All right stop! Your going to squash me." Link to a step to the right, "Okay push!" Mina started pushing, "Hey are you helping?" She asked.
"Nope!" Link answered, "I can't, your almost there don't worry."
She pushed some more `til she couldn't.
"Okay. I got it." Link started pushing the block and came into view and then it fell down into the corner. He then climbed up it and to the next level. Mina followed, "Not again!" Link sighed.
"Another one of those blocks." Mina said, "Yippee." She added dryly.
"Okay." Link said, "Your going to stay right here," He planned, "while I go back down to the other side and go up the ladder and push the block `til its on the wall, when that happens your going to push it to its in the corner. Got it?" "Yep!"
"Good." Link ran down back to the first level and climbed up the ladder he saw. He ended up on the other side of the block and started pushing it. Once he felt it couldn't go any further, he stopped. Before he could say anything he saw the block start moving. He then saw Mina and joined in to move it faster. Once they were done they climbed to the next level.
`Wow!' Navi thought, `They're doing pretty good as a team.'
They climbed up another ladder (Mina actually climbed instead of jumping.) and reached the next level. They quickly turned the corner and got into another battle with two blue bubble creatures. They quickly got rid of them and Link used his last key to unlock the door. They entered the door and the hallway was spiraled.
"Twisted!" Link and Mina coursed.
They reached the end of the hall and entered a room that from the looks of it was sideways. The ladder they were near was sideways and the roof was the other wall. Also on one of the walls near the other door was a golden chest.
"This room is pretty bizarre." Mina noted.
"Hey Mina." Link called.
"Hmm?" Mina turned, but he wasn't there, "Link?" "Up here."
She rolled up eyes upward to see Link in the grip of a giant hand, "Making friends with the natives?" She joked.
"Ha ha. Get me down. This thing is squeezing the hell out of me."
"Okay." She pointed her sword at the hand.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"I'm getting you down."
"Could you do it not so dangerously?"
"Well how am I suppose to do this?" "Here, use my hookshot." He dropped the hookshot out of his hand and she caught it.
She pointed it at the hand and fired hitting it in the fingers. It dropped Link and he landed. She handed him his hookshot back and jumped to the next ledge, "Thank you." He said as he landed next to her.
"No problem." She jumped towards the door and used her key to unlock it. He followed her in. They were in another hallway, but this one had stairs that lead them downward and a picture was on the wall next to them.
"Hey doesn't that look like one of those ghost things?" Link noticed.
"It sure does." Mina agreed.
"Poes." Navi explained.
"What?" Mina and Link coursed.
"They're called Poes."
"Oh."
"Well go on." Navi rushed.
The two of them complied and ran down the stairs and saw the Poe in the next painting down below. It disappeared before they got near it and they kept going do the next flight of stairs which had another picture on it with the Poe in it. It disappeared from that one too when they got too close. They made it down and saw a torch that wasn't lit. It look the same as the ones from the main room and a door.
"Well now I say we enter." Mina suggested, "No use staying out here."
Link nodded and opened the door. They both ran in and like before the door slammed on them and bars were on it.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Mina noted.
"You and me both."
They finally looked around the room and saw a hole in the floor. They took a few steps forward and a stalfos appeared.
"Hey I fought that thing, but two of them." Mina yelled.
"Its just one!" Link said, "I got it!" he ran forward and block an attack. The thing jumped at him with a slash and he side jumped out the way.
"Link, watch out for the hole!" Mina warned.
Link nodded and blocked another attack. He slashed at the creatures torso before it could do anything else. It swung again, but Link countered and thrust his blade at its torso again. It jumped back as did Link and they both jumped in the air at the same time missing each other. Link turned around and swung his blade as he did so hitting the creature and killing it.
"All right Link!" Mina and Navi cheered.
"Yeah, but why isn't anything happening." Link noticed.

Something then happened the platform that was above that none of them noticed crashed down into the hole filling it in. The next thing happen two more stalfos appeared.
"Time for me to join in on the fun." Mina said as she ran to help Link.

Both creatures jumped at Link at the same time. Link blocked one with his sword and the other with his shield. They both jumped back and was about to tried again. Link blocked this time, but only his shield blocked an attack. His didn't touch anything, but yet he didn't get hit. He looked his shoulder to see that Mina had blocked the other stalfos.
"I got this one." She said after pushing it away and charging at it.
"Okay." Link looked at the other one, "Well then I got you."

Mina thrust her sword at the creatures torso, but it blocked with its shield and slashed at her. She blocked the attack. It jumped back and then back forward, but she jumped to the side avoiding the attack. She glanced to her side to see Link there.
"Hi Link." He looked at her, "Hello Mina." He then looked at something pass her and she did the same.
"Watch out!" They both yelled. Link jumped at the stalfos she was fighting and she jumped at the one he was fighting. Link held his sword to his side and it began to glow. He did a quick spin sending blue energy at the creature killing it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Mina fire the `crescent beam' out her sword and killed the one she was fighting.
A large treasure chest appeared in the middle of the room and Link went to open it.
"What's in the box?" Mina asked.
"A bow." He answer pulling it out and showing her.
"You get a bow and I don't."
"Well yeah. I guess." "I want something for distinct fighting." She replied.
"Ugh..." Link stood there, "I don't know what to give you." "Hey Link, what about your boomerang?" Navi suggested.
"Ooooo." Mina exclaimed, "I'll take that."
"Okay." Link pulled it out and handed it to her. He pulled out the map next, "So which way do we go?"
"You have to get that Poe." Navi explained.
"The one in the picture?" Mina asked.
"Yes."
"Well okay, but let's go check out this hall first." Link said and walked over to the other door. He walked out it with Mina behind him, "It looks like the other hall." "But look!" Mina pointed up the stairs, "That Poe is blue."
"It is." Link agreed, "Okay. You take this Poe out and I'll take the other one out."
"Okay." Link ran out the room back to the other hallway. Mina walked toward the stairs and creeped up them. She drew her sword a pointed it the painting and fired her attack it. The painting disappeared and she ran up and fired at the other painting up on the third floor. It vanished as well. She fired one more time at the painting that was over the second flight of stairs and the Poe appeared out of it and went down stairs. She followed it. When she arrived it started spinning towards, so she sidestepped to avoid it. It then disappeared and did the same, so she did the same when it reappeared she slashed at it. This happen four more times `til she killed the Poe. The fire disappear the Poe was holding and they reappeared on the torch. Mina ran back into the room to find that Link was coming in as well.
"Your done?" Link asked. Mina nodded, "Well, the map says we have to go back the way we came to hit some kind of switch, so we can continue."
"Oh okay." They ran back the way they came `til they reached the room where they had to move the blocks, "The switch is suppose to be around here." Link explained, "Start looking." They both started walking around looking.
"I don't see anything, Link." Mina said coming back, "You find it?" Link shook his head, "No. Nothing." "Hey what about this?" Navi said floating over the door. She was floating around a gray eye, "Maybe this is it." "Try and see." Mina suggested.
Link drew his bow and fired at the eye. It closed and they heard a noise from in the other room. They looked at one another and ran inside to see the hallway straight.
"Well let's see which way we go now."
They continued `til they reached the room from before. Everything was different. The treasure chest was on the ground and so was a hole. Link ran to the hole while Mina ran to the chest, "Let's see what's in the chest." Mina opened it up and pulled out a golden key with a red jewel, "A pretty little key." "That's the boss key." Navi explained.
"Okay." Mina replied and pocketed the key as she walked over to the whole. The three dropped down to the lower level and killed a few creatures. They ran out the door and ended up on the ledge in the garden. They ended up looking at two doors.
"Which way Link?" Navi asked.
Link pointed at the door on their right, "This way." They ran inside and the door closed and barred on them.
"I'm really sick of that happening." Mina complained.
Something whooshed pass Link and attached itself to Mina and pushed her into the wall. It was the giant hand creature that had caught Link. It was glowing green as it held Mina on the wall.
"Hold on Mina!" Link assured.
"The only thing I can do right now." She squinted her eyes at Link, "Hey there are two of you, Link. And you too Navi." "What's wrong with her, Navi?" "That thing is draining her." Navi explained, "Kill it now."
Link slashed at the creatures and made three, smaller versions of itself. Mina fell off the wall onto the ground unconscious. Link went and killed the three creatures then ran over Mina where Navi was checking on her.
"Mina!" He yelled, "Hey wake up!" "HEY!" Navi exclaimed, "Get up." Mina open her eyes, "Dammit! I'm up, MOM!" She then remembered where she was and sat up, "Oh crap what happen?" "That hand thing drained you." Link explained, "You okay?" "Yeah." Link offered a hand and helped Mina to her feet. He then ran over to chest and pulled out a key. After sticking it in his pocket he pulled out the map, "We go through that other door and back up to the hallway we made straight and I make it unstraight and then-" "Whoa! Stop right there." Mina stopped, "Let's just keep it at that for now. I'm still dizzy."
Link put the map back in his pocket and nodded. He headed for the door with Mina, who was a little wobbly behind him, "Ya know we can take a break if you want to." Link offered.
"No I'm okay." "All right. If you say so." Link opened the door and let Mina walk in.
"Crap!" Mina yelped.
"Huh?" Link and Navi looked into the room and found Mina wasn't there, "Mina?" They entered the room.
"Link watch out for the-" Navi begun. "Whoa!" Link exclaimed falling off the ledge.
"ledge." Navi finished.
"That first steps a pain in the ass." Mina said standing up.
Link nodded fixing his hat and picking himself up. They were again back in the room with blocks. Once they caught their breath and made sure neither one of them were injured they continued. Link again shot the eye and it opened and the hallway was twisted again. They kept going following Link through the two hallways where the Poes were to a door that was locked. Link used one of the keys and opened it and they entered a hallway like the one that was twisted, but it was straight. In the hall were some green bubbles (Like the blue bubble, but the fire is green.) They killed them and Link opened the door with the last key he had. He entered the room and all he had to do was shoot another eye.
"That was it." Mina said from where she was sitting.
"Hey that was hard." Link replied, "You try doing that." "I wish I could, but you already did it." Well the eye was frozen and Link had to shoot through fire on spinning platforms just to melt the ice. Link jumped back over to the door and Mina stood up. They both ran back down the hall now twisted and ran into the room to find a hole. They fell down into it and Navi noticed the ceiling.
"Link, Mina, watch out for the ceiling its falling." She warned.
"The ceiling is falling?" Mina repeated.
"Why is the ceiling falling?" Link asked, looking at it.
"I don't know, but you two need to watch out." Navi replied.
"Oh okay." They both jumped to a safe spot and when the ceiling went back up ran for the door.
"The builders must have gotten really lazy when they made this part of the temple." Mina said.
The room they entered had another door with bars on it that stood on a higher area. On the other side of the room was a painting of the green Poe. Link shot an arrow at the painting and five blocks fell from the sky.
"Wasn't the kind of thing you'll expect inside." Mina stated.
"Yeah it wasn't." Link agreed, "Navi, what are we suppose to do?" "From the looks of it. Put the picture together." Navi answered.
"Oh okay. Well tell us if were doing it right."
They walked over and followed Navi's instruction and had the picture together with one piece left over. All the blocks vanished and the green Poe appeared. It went for Link, who blocked and Mina hit it from behind. It then vanished and headed for Mina who jumped back to avoid being hit. Link slashed at it from behind and the Poe went after him only to be hit by Mina when it stopped spinning. They did the same trick again `til the Poe was dead and the fire flew to the torch in the room.
"That was fun." Mina celebrated.
Link nodded and ran to the now unbarred door. They were in another hall, but it was normal one. They continued to they entered the main room through a different door. "Do you hear that?" Link asked.
"Yes. Yes I do." Mina replied, "It sounds like a dying deer."
"It sounds like crying." "Crying that sounds like a dying a deer."
"What's a deer?" Link asked.
Mina only blinked at him, "Don't tell me, with all these forest around here you don't know what a deer is?"
Link scratch the top of his head and shook it, "No, you still haven't told me what a dollar was."
"Well I'll tell you these things when we have the time." Mina walked over to the balcony, "Hey there's this purple thing in the middle of the room, I think that's what's crying."
Link came beside her, "Its the purple Poe!" "Why is it crying?" "I don't know. Maybe cause we killed all its friends or something."
"Ahhh." Mina had a very sad look on her face, "Maybe we should say sorry."
Link slowly looked at her out the corner of his eye, "What was that?" Mina turned to him, "I said maybe we should say sorry." "I heard you, but why?" He asked. "Cause we killed its friends."
Link looked at the Poe then back at Mina, "So?" "We hurt the poor little things feelings." Link had a blank expression, "So?"
Mina glared at him, "How would you like it if I killed all your friends?"
"I'm pretty sure you wouldn't." Mina sighed and jumped on the balcony, "Well I'm going to say sorry." She jumped down and Link sighed. "I better go make sure she doesn't get killed." He followed her over to the crying Poe.
Navi followed him after a second.

Mina slowly walked over to the Poe, "Hey little purple Poe, were really sorry-" The Poe stopped crying and pulled out the torch. It then spilt into four Poes and started to circle Mina, "Hey I felt sorry for you too."
An arrow flew through one of the Poes and it disappeared. Three more arrows came and hit the other three images, but one of them screamed and disappeared. They then reappeared, but around Link, who shot at them again eventuality hitting the real one.

Mina stay where she was watching the battle and noticed something Link didn't. She drew her boomerang and tossed it at one of the four Poes and it screamed, "Link, watch the one that spins right when they appear. Its the real one."
Link nodded and did just that. After about shooting it three more times it finally died and the purple flame reappeared on the torch. More noise followed after the Poe and the ground Mina was standing on top of began to rise. Actually it was the elevator that she was on top of. It stopped when it was all the way up. Link ran into the elevator before Mina could jump down and made it go below. Once it stopped, she jumped down.
"That was really funny." Was the first thing she said.
Link chuckled and ran for the large door that was at the end of the hallway that had the golden chain locking it.
"The key." Link said and turned to Mina.
"I lost it." Mina simply said.
"YOU WHAT?" Link exclaimed.
"Nothing." Mina pulled out the key and unlocked the door. She entered with a very mad Link on her trail.
"That wasn't funny." he explained.
"Yes it was. You should have seen your face."
Link glared at her and walked up the steps with her behind him, "You like picking on people don't you."
"Well I guess so." She answered. They made it up the steps and was in a round room with the same painting on each wall. It was a forest with a path. Link walk further into the room and once Mina made it up the stairs some blades blocked the path. Link turned to look at her and she was looking at the blades. Mina turned to look at him, but look passed him. She pointed without saying anything and he turned around.
"Ganondrawf!" He exclaimed.
The evil king only laughed and placed a mask on his face. Him and his horse began to float.
"Its not Ganondrawf!" Navi explained, "Its just a phantom!"
The phantom creature ran to the picture over Mina's head and she jumped to the side to avoid him.
"What is going on?" "Its the creature that's causing all the havoc in this temple." Link explained, "The reason its the way it is." "Its not always grassy looking and evil creatures over taking the place?" Mina asked.
"No! Its a good place. Where--ahh why the hell am I even bothering? Let's just kill this thing and free the temple." Link pulled out his bow and tossed Mina his hookshot, "Use this. When it comes out of the painting hit it." They both stood in the middle of the room back to back waiting. Phantom Ganon came out of the painting Link was facing and he shot an arrow at him making him go back into the painting. They then heard another noise and he came out the painting neither one them were facing and sent a blast electricity at the floor hitting them.
"AHhhh!" They managed to recover and Link caught him again. He then came out the one Mina was facing and she hit him. "Hey he's coming out two of them now!" Mina yelled.
"Well I'll take this one and you take that one!" Link planned. He pointed his bow at one of the paintings and Mina did the same at another. When he came near the end of the painting they both fired and Mina hit the real one. He screwed going back inside the painting and floated off his horse and stayed in the room. He shot a blast at the two and they jumped to different ends of the room. He shot two blasted, one out each hand at each one of them. They both blocked with their shields.
"Now what do we do, Link?" Mina asked blocking another blast.
Link search his mind for an idea, "Ugh....ugh..." Link pulled out his sword and Mina followed suit, "I distract him. You shot him with your beam!" Mina nodded. Instead of blocking this time Link hit the phantom Ganon's attack back at him and he knocked it back towards Link. They began to knock the attack back and forth towards each other. Mina, which the phantom forgot about powered up her crescent beam and shot it at him, hitting him in the back. He fell to the ground and Link ran over to him and began to slash. Once the phantom recovered it floated back up and this time remembered Mina and fired two blasts.
"Hit it back at him." Link explained.
Both of them did so and the phantom blocked both and sent them back. They did it again and he got hit and fell to the ground. Link again ran over to him and slashed at him, but this time Mina was with him. The phantom recovered again and floated back up. He fired the blast again, but both, Link and Mina, hit them with quick slash that the phantom couldn't block them and got hit again. "Jump slash!" Link yelled jumping in the air with his sword above his head. Mina did the same and they came down at the same time hitting the phantom and killing it. He floated in the air and caught on fire.
"YOU HAVE ONLY DEFEATED MY PHANTOM!" A voice boomed.
"Don't tell me." Mina began, "Its the real Ganondrawf?" "Yeah. A real jerk." "WAIT `TIL YOU FIGHT THE REAL ME!" Ganondrawf exclaimed. The creature floated in the middle of the room and purple portal. Like the one it kept coming it out of during the battle appeared in the middle of the floor. The creature then fell inside of it and afterwards a blue light appeared.
"Come on!" Link rushed running to the blue light.
"Oh so this light is safe?" Mina asked running over to it as well and stepping inside. A diamond shaped crystal appeared around them and floated them off somewhere.
When it stopped they were in a room with seven different colored platforms around them.
"Hey Link, where are we?" Mina asked.
"The `Chamber of Sages'" He answered.
The one they were facing, the green one, began to glow. A figure appeared. It was a little girl with green hair wearing the same green clothes as Link.
"Saria...." Link mumbled.
"Hi Link." She greeted. She then looked at Mina and waved, "Hi Mina." "How do you--forget it, everyone around here seems to know my name."
"Well you are one of the heroes of time, so of course everyone knows your name." Saria explained. She then looked back at Link, "Because of you, I awaken as the Sage of the Forest Temple." She then had a sad expression on her face.
"Saria," Link began, he too had the same expression.
`Ahh.' Mina thought, `Sad moment.'
"No need to explain, Link. We just can't live in the same world. I'll stay here as the Sage of the Forest Temple, you go and awaken the others, but first take this." She held her hand out and made a green medallion appear. She sent it to Link who caught it, "Let my power be yours."
A flash of light and Link and Mina floated down in front of a large tree.
"Hey its the Great Deku Tree." Link noticed.
Mina searched her mind for any remembrance of that name and it came to her, "Oh yeah the tree that died and stuff." "Yeah." Navi answered, "What's that, Link?" Navi floated over to a spot in front of the tree.
"I don't know." Link walked over to it and looked down. He flew back and landed in front of Mina's feet as a small tree came up out the ground.
"Haven't you ever heard that curiosity got the dog hit by the car?" Mina misquoted.
Link looked up at her and shook his head, "No I haven't." "Oh well it did."
Link stood up and looked at the little tree, "Hi, I'm the Deku Spout." "I'm Link. This is Navi and that's Mina."
"I know." "I knew you would." Mina mumbled from behind Link.
"After you two broke the curse on the temple, I was able to grow and now am the new protector of this forest."
"Really that's great." Navi said.
"Now I have to tell you a story, so you will understand some more about yourself, Link."
Mina sat down, "Oh a story." Link looked at her and sat down right next to her.
"During a war, your mother, a Hyalian, entered this forest. She was severly injured and entrusted you to the Great Deku Tree. The Deku Tree knew about your destiny, so accepted and raised you as one of the Koriki. This is why you have grown up and none of them have. They never grow up." "Oh that's freaky." Mina interrupted.
"You!" The Deku Sprout exclaimed looking at Mina, "Were also in the legends." "Really? Cool." "It was said that a warrior from another world would enter this one and complete the team of the heroes of time."
"Oh! Wow!"
"Everything that happen was suppose to happen." The Deku sprout said.
`I was suppose to be separated from my friends to come and save this world or was this some really big fluke `cause Serena was seriously upset and things will go back the way they were?' Mina thought to herself.
"Do you two understand your destiny now?"
Mina snapped out of her trance and looked at the tree, "What was that?" "I said you have to break the curse on all the other temples to save Hyrule!"
"Oh okay." Mina stood up along with Link, "So where to next?" She asked as they entered the forest.
"The next stop we are making is to bed!" Link explained.
"Oh could we get something to eat first?" "Something to eat and then to bed is our next mission!"
"All right." They both ran off in just a random direction and Navi sighed, "They may be the heroes of time, but they sure are a little off." She then just followed them, "This is why I'm here."

Hi! What do you think? That was the longest chapter, but the chapters were bound to get longer. Anywho, I was actually playing the game and writing, so I could make it as accurate as possible. Those monsters names were really from the game. I know Skullwalltula is a bizzare name, but I didn't make it up.
