Time Linked Together

4

As Link rode towards the Zora domain, his thoughts were consumed by the looming possibility of failure. This was a new sensation; he had always been confident in his abilities. The sound of his horse's hooves echoed through the quiet night, and the wind blew through their hair, causing them to wonder if this would be their last chance to defeat Ganondorf.

Despite their doubts, Link continued on, determined to succeed. They had passed Thims Bridge in just five minutes and were nearing Zelo Pond. The darkness made it difficult to see, but Link's horse was adorned in knightly armor, making it even harder to spot at night.

Link couldn't help but contemplate the consequences of failure as they rode. What would happen to Hyrule if Ganondorf succeeded in his plans? he didn't get to see what happened after they left. Some of him was glad, but another wanted to know so badly. These thoughts only served to fuel their determination, and they urged their horse to go faster.

Finally, after an eternity, Link arrived at the Zora domain entrance just at the turn to the Akkala region.

Link finally arrived at the Zora domain entrance near the Akkala region's turn after what felt like an eternity. He quickly dismounted his horse and walked towards Inogo Bridge, leaving his horse and Diablo hidden from the path but within view. He continued walking until he reached the edge of the bridge, where he heard a familiar voice shout from above.

"Hey, old friend! We meet again in the same place," exclaimed the voice. Link couldn't help but smile as he looked up to see his closest friend, Sidon.

"As always, I'm glad to see you safe and sound, Sidon," Link replied, smiling. Sidon leaped down from his night watch perch and hugged his friend tightly. Link returned the embrace, though not as strongly as Sidon, who was bigger and stronger.

"Sorry I couldn't make it to the meeting, my friend. The Zora have increased their night guards, and I couldn't leave without being spotted," Sidon apologized.

"Don't worry about it. Everyone's fine, and they were worried about you. That's why I'm here. I'm actually surprised you were able to get out of the Zora domain," Link said.

"My friend, passing the guards was no easy feat, but I am willing to do anything to meet with you tonight," Sidon beamed with his usual cheer. Link simply rolled his eyes and redirected the conversation.

"What have you discovered about your temple?" Link inquired. "Everyone else seems to have ideas about how to reach their temples with the help of the Divine Beasts. Is it the same for you?"

"Yes, I have found that the Divine Beasts' assistance will make things easier. However, when I attempted to approach Ploymus Mountain with the Divine Beast, it caused quite a commotion among the Travelers and Zora at the major sites. I did my best to keep the Divine Beast at a safe distance."

"I understand that it may pose a challenge, but I believe that by working together, we can successfully transport the Divine up the mountain without raising any suspicion. I have devised a plan that outlines the order in which I will assist each group, prioritizing the least risk of getting caught," shared Link with his close friend. "My first stop will be with the Rito, as they possess exceptional eyesight and can easily spot any potential threats."

"I agree; it would be wise to tackle the more challenging Gerudo temple next," added Sidon, recalling his experiences.

" and then after that I'll come here and then go straight to the Goron... Almost likely go to that one alone with Yonobo." Link stated

" I do not think that is a good idea link... What if something happens" Sidon said as he worried about his best friend

"It's nothing I haven't handled before... Anyways it's going to be too hot for you and everyone else, so I would like to know if you guys want to be there.
