#52 Link’s Ultimate Goal - Destroy Demise
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Returning to the Sealed Grounds Link approaches the dark pool and Fi appears to tell him that he has a zero chance of returning unless he is able to vanquish Demise. Link is transported to a realm of water and fog. Demise seems to be happy that Link has chosen to do battle with him. Demise tells Link to take note of his surroundings for it will be his tomb for eternity as he intends to destroy Link and take the Triforce for his own.
Link’s sword will not have the power of the skyward strike as he might expect. Somehow it is lost in this place. To defeat the Demon king Demise, direct attacks work best. Demise will protect himself by placing his sword in front of and across his chest. As Demise moves the sword and raises it up, target his head and strike with a vertical slice. When Link has done this at least six times, Demise will be knocked backward and onto his back. He will leap to his feet and raise his sword. Lightning is striking all around. Demise will charge his sword from the lightning and fire off bolts of energy at Link. If Link tries to attack in close quarters he will be electrified.
Demise will also lurch forward to strike at Link. Raise Link’s sword to let it charge from the lightning and send it to Demise. When he is struck he will be stunned. Run up to him and slice away. When he falls, use the fatal blow to finish him off. With this done he stands hunched over, and with no energy left he thrusts his sword to the ground where it shatters. Demise tells Link that he never expected to be brought down by a lowly human and that this is not over. His energy leaves his body and he disintegrates.
Link looks at the Master Sword as it is aglow. He then raises it to the sky as the dark fog left by Demise is drawn into it. Fi calls to Link to confirm the eradication of the Demon King. She also tells Link that his consciousness was absorbed into the Master Sword.
The scene shows Link standing before Impa. She tells Link that he has done well. Link turns to see Zelda and Groose smiling at him. Zelda thanks Link and says, "I think it’s over…Finally…it’s all over". She then begins to cry. Groose laughs as he walks away and says, "Nice going, you two. You guys were totally amazing in this little adventure I like to call the "legend of Groose…that’s a little joke".
Impa walks up to Groose and thanks him as well. He tells Impa that he is glad that he could help. Groose turns to Link and Zelda to ask if they are ready to return to their time. Fi appears and tells the Goddess Hylia, or Zelda, that she is glad that she is safe. Fi then tells Link that she must talk with him.
Fi tells Link that he has successfully fulfilled his role as the Hero of Legend and that her purpose is complete. Fi asks Link to dissolve their arrangement. She tells Link to return the Master Sword to the pedestal where she will return to the sword to enter a sleep without end. Link is reluctant to do it and Fi asks him several more times to return the sword to the pedestal. She then transforms herself to energy and hits him at the back of the head. Link looks at Zelda before returning the sword to the pedestal.
As Link turns to walk away Fi calls out, "Link." To console Link she explains to him what her purpose was. She tells him that in the beginning she viewed her function as merely a servant. But now she feels that the time they have shared is the most precious data she has on record. Fi then appears, to tell Link that she is not fully capable of understanding the human spirit. But now she is experiencing a feeling that she does not understand. She thinks it may be happiness. Fi then says, "Thank you, Master Link. May we meet again in another life…" Fi is gone.
Impa is asked to come with them to their time. She tells Zelda that she has memories of the goddess and it is not possible. Impa is a being of this time and must remain. Impa tells Zelda to move on and she will take care of the gate once they have gone through. Zelda pleads with Impa but Impa must stay to watch over the sword. Zelda gives Impa her goddess bracelet. Impa tells Zelda not to despair and that they will meet again someday.
The scene is Zelda, Link and Groose arriving in the Sealed Temple and the Gate of Time disappearing. Link and Groose run to the Priestess who is wearing the Goddess bracelet. Zelda smiles and walks to her. The Priestess says, "…See? I told you we’d meet again". Zelda nods her head with understanding. The Priestess then transforms into a glittering golden cloud and then is gone. Impa’s spirit thanks Fi for everything and then a bright light shines at the great doors. The great doors then open to the outside.
-The Credits Run-
The scene is now at the Goddess Statue grounds. Zelda’s father, Cawlin and others rejoin Zelda, Link and Groose at the base of the Goddess Statue. Several Loftwings land to greet them as well. The scene shifts to Groose riding his Loftwing and waving to Zelda and Link who are standing in the hands of the Goddess Statue. Zelda turns to Link to tell him that she had always dreamed of the world below the clouds and of being on the surface. Zelda tells Link that she wants to live here to look at the clouds above her and to watch over the Triforce. She asks Link what he will do now. Link smiles for a moment and then looks to the sky to see two Loftwings rising to the clouds.
-THE END-
At this point you, the player, will be asked if you want to save the game in
the "Hero Mode". If you choose to do so all the saved data you have will be
lost. This means that Link will not be able to go back and play the "Thunder
Dragon's" challenge or play any of the mini-games. Link will be able to start
the game over in the "Hero Mode" or start a completely new adventure. If you
choose not to, then you will be able to play from the last save point
accessing the mini-games and challenge.
