    [BoTW] Is it possible that the Twili will come back in Breath of the Wild 2?

    Posted: 18 Sep 2020 06:29 PM PDT

    Since we know that Breath of the Wild 2 is a sequel since Age of Calamity is the prequel game, it's clear Nintendo might expand on the ruined world after the defeat of Calamari Ganon, which not only means new locations, but possibly new species. Considering in the Zelda community that Twilight Princess is well liked and Midna is a huge fan favorite, could it be possible that the Twili and a successor of Midna will appear in Breath of the Wild 2?

    [OoT] The Legend of Zelda: Shadow Light Master

    Posted: 19 Sep 2020 02:01 AM PDT

    The Legend of Zelda: Shadow Light Master

    Chapter 1 — Anthem for No State III

    Once upon a time, in the Void there was a Creator, of unknowable form and shape, who had power over all things. That Creator God, Allah, manifested a Reality, which They split into many faces. The first face was Knowledge, which began with awareness of Themselves. The second was Freedom. The third was the concept of good and evil, or Abraxas. The fourth was The Absurd. God knew all things through Their ways. They created people as a vicegerent on Earth, out of Their boredom, and to refine their knowledge still.

    Allah made the people we know from two parents of sounding clay. Their names were Adam and Hawwah, peace be upon them. They gave them Ability and Wisdom to stand distinct among the hominid tribes descended before them. Before the creation of mortality, and therefore need, God knew no concept of evil, as no harm could come to Them. So They created the Omniverse to learn of evil. They sent the worlds teeming with living things and shining decorations inanimate yet breathing fire, and filled it with soups of oceans where lightning would bring the lowliest creatures crawling out of the depths in submission towards Their will. In designing all things to this Order, he instilled in them Meaning, and through their mortality, and the Freedom of people to choose between right over wrong, at the expense of themselves his idea of Goodness grew.

    But people had to fall apart from God, separated. As God was good, and was only good, man could not be together with him as long as badness was inside them, and they were tempted to eat from that which was forbidden. In doing so they gained Knowledge, but were cast out from the Garden in which they lived in bliss. But no victory would be allotted to that coiled sinister serpent of a smokeless fire, Satan, who provoked them. All things were a part of Allah's plan, even that rebellion of Their beloved. Some of Their Creation would go astray into the Fire, averse to Their guidance, others would return to Them, having distilled the good from the bad In their souls, and adding to God's Knowledge of a Righteousness Order.

    Until that Day though, past the Day of Judgement, Allah waits in silence. All people and demons, or, jinns, circumambulate and spiral the cosmos in the spaceships that are the muddy eyeballs called Earth and its sisters. The similitude of Abraxas is that of a snake biting off its infected tail. Good and evil cannot exist in balance in God's Order. Good must triumph, because God is good and merciful, and has dominion over all things. So, we are within Abraxas, Abraxas is bleeding out, its blood the blood of evil, and when it dies, the Godman, The Godwoman, the Godpeople, will return to their maker. Such is the fate of the Omniverse, the vessel in which all multiverses reside as one.

    But there are those who have forgotten God. They see the world another way, as confusion and sex, meaningless and lucky. They are lost. They see not Providence, but only the fluctuations of waves and lightning which brought forth their neighboring species, and claim them as their ancestors, though these "ancestors" knew not good from evil, only what they have been Ordered. It is not that these people are good nor evil, or that they are in rebellion, but simply that they have forgotten Allah, and maybe one day they will return to Him in remembrance.

    But there are those who are different still. They invoke gender upon God, claiming Them as Her, and Her as three peoples. The people of Hyrule worship Din as the Goddess of Power, who they say brought the red Earth into being, Naryu, who created wisdom and law, and Farore, who filled their universe with living things. In their understanding of the world, the people of Hyrule introduced schism into the truth, and their people have been at war with one another ever since, the power that Allah gave entrusted to them being split into three parts, the Triforce, creating a battle with evil that cycles with no end.

    Chapter 2 — I Am the Sun

    The sun sat still in a throne of a blood red sky over Gerudo Valley. The heat shimmered and slithered around in the desert air. Tents dotted the sands, where the statue of the Gerudo's goddess of a lost name, overlooked them cross-legged, with her palms outstretched, a snake adorning her neck like a boa, her hair curled and decorated with a Pharaoh's headdress.

    The goddess smiled. Tears of blood poured down her face. Goats climbed the rubble around the desert colossus and baa'd. In some tent a witch named Twinrova cried out as her friend died in childbirth, and despite her magic, she couldn't save her. But she saved her son.

    A son. For the first time in one hundred years among the Gerudo, a son. They named him Ganondorf.

    Ganondorf was worshipped by his people as a foretold God-King. But even then, he was an afraid child. There were none in his tribe like him, save his surrogate mother. His skin was green instead of brown. His ears rounded instead of pointed, he was a boy in a clan full of women. Ganondorf learned the dark arts from his mother, but as his power grew, his reputation only grew more fearsome and respected among his people. Everything that came from him was only seen in the vein of the leader that he would be. But none saw him as a friend or equal.

    None except Nobooru, who teased him incessantly. She outperformed him in archery, she out-rode him in horseback riding, and she even stole his swords, as was common among Gerudo who befriended one another.

    But Ganondorf didn't take kindly to being challenged. In his twenties, one night when they were horseback riding, he used his dark arts to crush her throat. Though Nobooru's loss was mourned, none blamed Ganondorf, he offered the Hylians as a scapegoat, and said it was their doing. The Gerudo were eager to accept the explanation — aside from worshipping the God-King, the Hylians had been the beneficiaries of the Hyrulean monarchy's economic policies for ages, while the Gerudo received little aid in the desert.

    With Nobooru gone, Ganondorf consolidated power. He had come of age long enough to lead the Gerudo as their ruler. He made sure every Gerudo was adept at horseback riding and marksmanship, as well as educated in the way of the sword. He trained them to be adept at thievery to the point where every trip to Hyrule Marketplace resulted in some profit to their people. Ganondorf attempted to teach the Gerudo dark arts, but they could not learn them for reasons unknown. When Twinrova learned of Ganondorf's efforts, she stopped him.

    "Son, my son, keep this power for yourself, and now go to Hyrule Castle and join their knights. The Triforce, a mystical relic that grants any wish, has been hidden away in the Sacred Realm. If the Gerudo were to obtain it, we would be immensely wealthy and prosperous by every measure. But none but the Hyrulean Royal Family know of its location… So go and spy on them for us. There is a prophecy that a hero will open the Sacred Realm, to stop a great evil from ruling over the land."

    And so Ganondorf went. Soon he became advisor to the King himself, and overheard him telling the Princess Zelda about the Three Spiritual Stones and Ocarina of Time needed to open the gate to the Sacred Realm. They were located among the Kokiri, the forest children, the Zoras, the fish people, and the Gorons, the rock-eating creatures of Death Mountain. But though he went from place to place seeking to obtain the Stones, and to Zelda herself, the wielder of the instrument, the people would not give up their posessions to him. If he was not their awaited hero, who was?

    So Ganondorf cursed each land he visited, infecting the guardian Deku Tree who was father to the Kokiri with a spider to ravage its insides, putting a jellyfish inside the deity whale Jabu Jabu to destroy him, and threatening the Gorons with starvation by blocking their food source inside the volcano of Death Mountain with a giant rock. In doing so he hoped to bring forth a hero he could follow into the Sacred Realm.

    And come forth that hero did. He was a Hylian raised among he Kokiri named Link. Ganondorf followed the boy into the Sacred Realm, but was only able to gain one part of the Triforce — the Triforce of Power. To Link went the Triforce of Courage, and to Princess Zelda the Triforce of Wisdom. Ganondorf was never able to reunite the Triforce, nor was anyone else. Link and Zelda used magic to seal him in the Sacred Realm for eternity.

    Or so they thought.

    Chapter 3 — Dream House

    "Did you hear that?" asked Zelda.

    Link nodded. He drew his sword.

    A black horse galloped across the bridge into Kokiri Forest.

    "Ganondorf!?" cried Saria. She hid behind Link.

    "Link… Zelda…"

    Zelda charged up a ball of lightning.

    "I'm not here to play games," said Ganondorf.

    Zelda fired the energy ball, which Ganondorf swatted with his cape into the forest. A fire started.

    "Are you sure you possess the Triforce of Wisdom?" said Ganondorf.

    Link pulled out the Ocarina of Time and played the Song of Storms. It began to rain, putting out the fire.

    "Link, Zelda, listen to me, I have little time, before I have to return to that person," said Ganondorf.

    "That person? What are you saying?" asked Zelda.

    "I'm here for the Triforce," said Ganondorf. "The full Triforce." His hand glowed with a golden triangle.

    "Just as we thought. We have no interest in giving it to you," said Zelda. "We won't let you lay waste to Hyrule yet again, like you did seven years ago."

    "Seven years… have I really been sealed away in the Sacred Realm for that long?" Ganondorf mused.

    "How did you escape?"

    Rain poured down Ganondorf's face. Thunder crackled.

    "The Shadow Light Master," said Ganondorf.

    "The what?"

    "The Shadow Light Master," said Ganondorf. "When I was floating in the white void of the Sacred Realm, what felt like an eternity had passed. I had begun to lose my mind. Before the madness fully set in, a beam of darkness penetrated into the void, and sent me to Hyrule Castle's garden, where you used to watch me through the window when you were young. I could hardly believe it. At first I thought you fools had decided to take mercy on me. But you were not there. When I came to my senses, I saw that there was a bearded man brown as the Gerudo. He was dressed in a black frock, embroidered with gold. The back of his right hand, blood-stained, was raised up to me, and it had a crest like my people's, but mirrored. That crescent and star glowed like the Triforce does on our hands."

    Zelda and Link noticed their hands' marks were glowing again.

    "He had opened the Sacred Realm with his own brand of magic. Or rather, he said it was a power given to him by a god named 'Allah.' He seeks to destroy the Triforce. I seek to preserve it," said Ganondorf.

    "Destroy the Triforce!?" said Zelda. "Why would he do such a thing?"

    "Indeed, Ganondorf, why would I do such a thing?"

    Tthe man Ganondorf had described stepped into Kokiri Forest from a portal sparkling gold and black. His hair was thick and short and choppy and dark, his nose bell-shaped, his lips a cupid's bow, his beard and mustache short. He was wearing black rectangular-rimmed glasses.

    "Link, your hand is glowing. I must have altered the timeline by coming here. The Triforce of Courage should've been scattered through the land with the absence of the Hero," said the Shadow Light Master.

    "Absence of the…" said Zelda. "Oh, Link. When I was going to send you back in time, you chose to stay. There must have been a timeline where you didn't."

    "And that's the world I intended to set foot upon," said the Shadow Light Master. "But it seems your goddesses are protecting you yet. Nonetheless. All is weak before Allah. Hyrule's champions shall fall regardless."

    "Why are you trying to destroy the Triforce?" asked Zelda.

    "Because I am from the sixth dimension, and have seen it all," said the Shadow Light Master. "Past your time, past this fiction you call reality, living in the true world, where I've seen the endless cycle of conflict the Triforce perpetuates."

    "He's shown me with his magic a future where Hyrule is flooded, where the goddesses couldn't stop me from taking my rightful place as king," said Ganondorf. "He came here to stop that from happening."

    "And you came here to betray me," said the Shadow Light Master. "Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Saria, the truth is that the Triforce can never usher in peace, only self-correct for a time. Do you think it's a coincidence that the Triforce is hollow? Given its nature of being the truth being divided by three, there will always be internal strife in Hyrule, and perhaps across the continents, until someone from the outside steps in to break the cycle."

    "I am an incarnation of a demon named Demise's hatred. He showed me," said Ganondorf. "My spiritual father, who fought your ancestors, Link and Zelda, cursed me to reincarnate forever until you two were killed at last. I cannot be free until the Triforce is mine."

    "But Link and Zelda reincarnate too," said the Shadow Light Master. "Hence every victory, from any side, will always be fleeting. Until the Triforce is destroyed."

    "The Triforce belongs to me!" said Ganondorf. He drew his sword and charged at the Shadow Light Master.

    The Shadow Light Master extended his right hand. His crest glowed, and he fired a golden double helix of energy into Ganondorf, impaling him. "GAH!" He spat up blood.

    "Alas and alack, you could've had that world for the Gerudo that you dreamed of, had you simply followed my instructions to bring the Triforce to me," said the Shadow Light Master.

    "Is he going to die!?" screamed Saria.

    The Shadow Light Master used telekinesis to fling Link and the Master Sword into Ganondorf. "AHHHH!" They screamed.

    "No. Now he's going to die," said the Shadow Light Master. "Say your final words, King of Darkness."

    "I knew this might happen," said Ganondorf. "Link, Zelda listen to me… there is still time. I chose not to kill you. I know you are different from the King of Hyrule, who ruled over my people, who the Shadow Light Master killed."

    "My father's dead!?" cried Zelda.

    "He wouldn't renounce his polytheistic ways," said Ganondorf. "So the Shadow Light Master killed him." Ganondorf pushed Link off of him, and grabbed his shoulder. "I can't do this with Power alone. I need Wisdom and Courage. Don't let me die. Please, heal me."

    Link pulled out the Master Sword, and him and Zelda did nothing. Ganondorf panted as he bled.

    "Look at the morality of the Triforce," said the Shadow Light Master. "He doesn't have much longer.

    "Shut up!" said Saria. "You're the one who stabbed him!"

    "As if you wouldn't have done the same, had push come to shove," said the Shadow Light Master. "So you're not going to tell him? Maybe he'll listen if you—

    "Enough!" hacked Ganondorf. "Ugah… Link… I am your brother."

    "Ah!?"

    "It's true. Though we bear different mothers, our father is the same. The Gerudo only have a man born to the tribe every hundred years. My father is Hylian. Our father is Hylian. He was killed by the Gerudo after he left my mother for yours," said Ganondorf.

    "Link! Don't believe his lies," said Zelda.

    "It's the truth. Up until now, beneath me to tell," said Ganondorf. "But if this is to be my end… then my final request… Link, please, as you are to be the next King of Hyrule… do not forget the Gerudo. We deserved better. That was my dream. Do not think of them as me… but as family. And do not let the Shadow Light Master succeed. Nobody knows what will happen to this world without a Triforce."

    Ganondorf raised his hand, and gave the Triforce of Power to Link. A second triangle appeared on his hand. Then the King of Darkness fell and died.

    Chapter 4 — On GP

    "Two left," said the Shadow Light Master. "Unless you'll hand over the Triforce willingly."

    "We have to get out of here, now!" said Zelda.

    "I don't think so."

    The Shadow Light Master fired another double helix at Zelda. She used Nayru's Love to reflect it back at him. He was impaled in the chest, missing his heart.

    "AAAK!" The Shadow Light Master coughed up blood. He clutched the hole in in his chest. "Looks like I miscalculated. Until we meet again." He opened up another portal and vanished with Ganondorf's corpse.

    "Who knows when and where that man will strike next," said Saria. "The Shadow Light Master said the goddesses were watching over us still. Let's go to the Chamber of Sages. With the full Triforce, maybe we'll be safe there."

    Zelda nodded. "Once we're there, we can come up with a plan."

    Zelda warped the trio to the Sacred Realm, where they stood upon the central platform emblazoned with the Triforce and medallions of the Sages. Waterfalls poured around them while beams of light illuminated platforms where ghostly apparitions from either the past or future stood gazing at them.

    "Time appears unstable here," said Saria. "I wonder if it's the doing of that man?"

    "Maybe," said Zelda. "…"

    Saria hugged her.

    "If I hadn't left to visit you all… maybe I could've saved my father," said Zelda.

    Link put his hand on her shoulder and shook his head. The Triforce pieces on his hand glowed. So did Zelda's.

    "The Triforce," said Zelda. "Maybe we can use it to defeat the Shadow Light Master. After that, maybe we can bring my father back as well."

    Link nodded.

    Link, Zelda, and Saria stepped back, and the former two held out their hands to release the Triforce from their bodies. The pieces spiraled together, emanating a golden glow as it rose and floated between them in a beam of light.

    "Should I do the honors?" asked Zelda.

    Link and Saria nodded.

    Zelda touched the Triforce. "I wish for the death of the Shadow Light Master, and for the life of my father."

    "Your father has been revived. But we cannot kill the Shadow Light Master," said the Triforce.

    "It spoke!" said Saria.

    "Aha!" yelped Link.

    Zelda was taken aback. "Y-Your Holiness, why not?"

    "He is protected by his own sacred power — a being called 'Allah' from outside this multiverse," said the Triforce. "He can be slain, but not with our Power."

    "Multiverse?"

    "That is correct," said the Triforce. "Our multiverse is composed of four timelines — one where Link fell to Ganon, one where he bested him, and you returned him to his time as a child, one where you lived on as an adult in his absence, and one where he chose to stay with you — the one in which you live now."

    "So then… is what the Shadow Light Master said true? Would Hyrule have been flooded if he hadn't killed Ganondorf?"

    "That is correct," said the Triforce. "You three would've perished long before Ganon would have freed himself from the Sacred Realm. In the absence of a hero, We would have had no choice but to flood the kingdom to protect the world from Ganon's reign. But the Shadow Light Master killing Ganondorf has changed things. As he is from another multiverse, it is not known to Us what will happen if he succeeds in destroying Us. There is a blind spot in our Knowledge. Thus we intend to flood the world."

    "Wait, no!" Zelda clasped her hands. "Your Holiness, please, don't! We can do it! We can beat the Shadow Light Master."

    "Then so be it," said the Triforce. "But if the Hero of Time is killed, then Hyrule must be flooded. Such is the fate of the Hero's Metaverse."

    "Metaverse?"

    "A metaverse being that set of multiverses whose fate is shaped by a concept, that concept, in our case, being the Hero — the Hero of Time. What happens to Link now, in the presence of an enemy who knows our multiverse in its entirety, threatens our whole metaverse."

    "But how can this be?" Said Zelda.

    "Our enemy comes from a metaverse shaped around Allah and Their Will. And Their Will and Knowledge trumps ours. We are but a metaverse within their metaverse. If you intend to protect our metaverse, protect the Hero of Time. Without him, we are lost."

    "We should make one last wish," said Saria.

    "What's that?" asked Zelda.

    "We should know when the Shadow Light Master nears us."

    Zelda nodded.

    "Your wish has been granted," said the Triforce. It broke apart and returned to Link and Zelda's hands.

    "Don't worry Link, we'll protect you," Zelda and Saria smiled.

    Link smiled too.

    "Though I wonder Link… if it's true that Triforce would drown our homeland… should we still fight to preserve it?"

    Link nodded.

    "I know our prayers will be heard!" Said Saria. "The Triforce didn't flood the kingdom this time around. With it, we have a fighting chance!"

    Link unsheathed his sword and raised it in the air. It didn't matter what the Triforce, or anyone said to him. He would fight to the very end to defend what he loved. To him, that was Courage.

    "Let's go see my father," said Zelda. "I want to make sure he's alright. We need to get him somewhere the Shadow Light Master doesn't know about, in case he tries to kill him again."

    Link nodded.

    Chapter 5 — Faith, Torn Apart

    Link, Zelda, and Saria entered the throne room of Hyrule Castle. The King of Hyrule showed signs of life. Zelda ran up to him and hugged him.

    "Oh father, I'm glad you're alright!"

    "What— what happened? The Shadow Light Master, is he gone?"

    "He's wounded and gone into hiding for the time being," said Saria. "Your daughter warded him off with Naryu's Love."

    The King's eyes widened. "You mean you fought with that man by your— ahh, Link, there you are…"

    Link smiled and shook his head, waving his hand.

    "How am I alive? I thought the Shadow Light Master had killed me."

    "We used the Triforce, father. Ganondorf gave the last piece to Link."

    "He what?"

    "And the Shadow Light Master killed him," said Saria.

    "But how? I thought the Master Sword was needed to slay that monster," said the King.

    "Telekinesis," said Zelda. "He has powerful magic of his own. He used it to throw the Master Sword into Ganondorf. He bled to death."

    "So Ganondorf is dead…" said the King. "I never thought I'd see the day."

    "Sorry to cut things short, but we need to get you out of here, Your Highness," said Saria. "We need you to be gone before the Shadow Light Master finds you again."

    "So you want me to go into hiding as well," said the King. "I suppose it's for the best. Where shall we go?"

    "The Forest Temple in the Lost Woods," said Saria. "With its twists and turns, the Shadow Light Master will never find you there — magic or no magic."

    "Let us hope," said the King.

    The four of them warped to the Forest Temple.

    "The temple has long been cleared out of monsters," said Saria. "You should be fine living here. This is where I live now, too, so you should find it quite hospitable."

    "Before I go, there is one last matter that we should see to," said the King. "I cannot lead the country while in hiding. But truthfully, I'm too weak to defend it, either. Link, now it is time for you to become the King of Hyrule, and Zelda, for you to be our Queen. Hyrule needs to have leadership that inspires. Seeing the Hero of Time and the Princess ascended should give them faith, should the Shadow Light Master reappear to wreak havoc."

    "Father, are you sure?"

    "As I ever could be. The two of you are legendary heroes. You should find your ceremonial black clothes at the castle, should you choose to don them. It's been sometime since Hyrule has had a queen."

    "I understand," said Zelda.

    "Syaaat!" said Link.

    "Well said, Link, well said…"

    "I'll stay behind to protect you," said Saria. "If the Shadow Light Master returns, I'll call you two with my Fairy Ocarina to come help."

    Link grabbed Saria's hand.

    "Link...?"

    The Triforce of Power left the back of his hand and appeared on Saria's.

    "Great thinking," said Zelda. "This way your powers as a Sage should be amplified."

    "Haha, right," said Saria. "Alright, so now what?"

    "Zelda and Link should return to Hyrule Castle," said the King. "Let Impa know of what's happened, and prepare a speech to the Kingdom to warn them of the Shadow Light Master."

    Chapter 6 — March of the Black Queen

    "So that's who that man was. I was powerless to stop him," said Impa. "The Sheikah have always known that the Hero metaverse is a set of multiverses within another universe, but never have we had interlopers from the outer dimension. Why now? The Shadow Light Master… Did he really come to save Hyrule? Ganondorf is dead. No… without the Triforce, we would live in a world without hope, should a warlock like Ganondorf ever arise again to gain the upper hand."

    "We should find him and finish him off while he's weak," said Zelda. "Send Sheikah spies to every town and region in Hyrule until they find out where he is. There are only so many places he can hide."

    "Unless he returned to the Allah's metaverse," said Impa.

    Link and Zelda's Triforces glowed.

    "Don't worry, I didn't," said the Shadow Light Master.

    He emerged from a portal with his chest sealed and with a book in his hand. Its cover was inscribed with a language none of them had ever seen before.

    "You ask why I come," said the Shadow Light Master. "You're right — I wish to save Hyrule from an eternal cycle of conflict. But not just its body, but its soul. This book is called the Quran. Read it. I want to save your souls from eternal damnation. And I want Ganondorf to face justice in Hellfire, instead of being sealed and revived time and time again." The Shadow Light Master levitated the Quran into Zelda's hands. "You should possess the Lens of Truth. Read the book with that lens, and you will learn the truth of my metaverse, and thus, the truth of yours. Polytheism is a division of the truth. The truth divided leads to chaos. Chaos can only be quelled through oneness. Oneness comes from submission to the one true God, Allah."

    "Even if what you're saying is true," said Zelda. "What does that have to do with Ganondorf?"

    "A Day of Judgement will come," said the Shadow Light Master. "And when it does, Allah will admit the righteous, who follow Their Word, to Paradise, as a Heavenly People. Those who do not, will be cast into a pit of fire for all of eternity. Those such as Ganondorf, who reject righteousness, will face justice in the form of Hell. But if Hyrule continues to worship the goddesses, they too will suffer Hellfire for dividing and therefore hiding the Truth. The Quran is the Mercy of Allah. Accept it and deliver yourselves into salvation."

    "I will say one thing," said Impa. "This book does indeed appear to be from Allah's metaverse. I can't recognize the language. The Lens of Truth should confirm to us if the Shadow Light Master is lying."

    "Skaaaaank!" yelled Link.

    "Link raises a good point," said Zelda. "Even if your book is true, why would your God ask us to abandon ours? When ours have protected us from Ganondorf and ilk like him all this time?"

    "Don't be a fool, Your Majesty," said the Shadow Light Master. "Do you think the goddesses care for your people? For your idea of right and wrong? Let me show you your multiverse."

    The Shadow Light Master opened a portal that showed various timelines.

    "Each time Ganon is defeated, he is sealed, breaks free, or dies, and is revived. He is locked in an endless cycle of conflict with the spirits of Courage and Wisdom, incarnations of the Hero and yourself. The Triforce protects him just as much as it protects you. And he too has his helpers. And war is imminent."

    "It can't be…" said Zelda. "And war? Now? What?"

    "Yes. War. The Gerudo are coming," said the Shadow Light Master. "I gave them Ganondorf's corpse. They nursed my wounds. They aren't taking the death of their God-King at Link's hands lightly."

    "You're the one killed him, not us!" said Zelda.

    "What do they know?" said the Shadow Light Master. "I told them it was Link and the Princess Zelda. The Gerudo are already mistrustful of the Hylians as it is. It was easy to fan the flames of hate. But I'll give you a way out."

    "What's that?"

    "Accept Islam, the revealed religion of God, and I will put down the Gerudo personally. But if you refuse, I'll join them, and let them crush you," said the Shadow Light Master.

    "You're out of your mind!" said Zelda.

    "Skank!" said Link.

    "You have time to read The Book yourself and consider. I'll await your decision. For now, I'll return to my universe. You have three days by my estimation. And Impa. As to why now? This is the fate Allah has chosen for us. Before the flood. It's always now. The time has come to make a choice."

    The Shadow Light Master vanished.
