Tides of the Uniforce by ChristianWarrior book 1:THE BINDING FORCE OF LINK [ Let it be know that I give all credit of creativity to God Almighty, my one and true idol. ] All know of the tale of the great battle between Link and the all evil Ganondorf Dragmire, we all have heard of the several battles fought between the two of them on countless occasions, but what happens when all is defeated, when all of the moblins, ghosts, spirits and temples are destroyed, leaving all that is good? How can one that lived his life fighting possibly stop the battles, the killing, and finally admit that there is nothing to fight but the forces within him that are constantly desiring another battle? There is no way! A soldier can not live his life in peace, only in battle. Once the outside conflict is destroyed, confilcts within will start. This is a story of conquering that force within one's self, and the power of it. -THE BINDING FORCE OF LINK: PART I- Link had returned from battle, once more victorius, a battle with a group of weak moblins attepting to break through the boudaries of Hyrule. Unhurt and uncut he made his way back into the castle of Hyrule. Across the draw bridge, through the great halls of Hyrule, and finally back to his bedroom. There, waiting for him was Zelda, his fiancee. "Hello Link, how are you?" she asked rising from her studies. "Disapointed, I had thought there would be a better fight with the moblins," he said while em-bracing her. "You fought moblins today?" Zelda asked bewildered. "Yes, actually, I wouldn't call it fighting, more like playing with them so they would die." "How many more of them can there be?" "From what I can tell every time there is a threat, there always seems to be less and less of them, perhaps it is true that the spirit of Ganondorf was destroyed in that battle in the Golden Land once I had the Triforce. Maybe that is one of the things that we should mention to be put in to our thanking wishes at the banquet tonight." "Well, I'm just thankful you decided to come back to us after those sailers rescued you from that horrible island with the fish you were telling me about." "How could I resist," he smiled, "after I had heard your father would grant the 'Hero of Time' his daughter's hand in mariage?" he added before deeply kissing her. "I suppose," she said slowly, "that hopefully these next few years will go by quickly before my father chooses to step down and allow us to marry. Perhaps then we can fufill our dreams of becoming the king and queen of Hyrule." "Yes, my love..." Link trailed off into other thoughts while stroking Zelda'a long gold hair. "Link, I can sense trouble in your eyes, is something the matter?" "Well, it's just that when I think about it, I don't know if it would be easy for me to lead Hyrule in the castle and in the battle field at the same time." "Link, you know that you won't be in the battlefield anymore, you'll just be giving orders to the Hyrulian army. There's no possible way for you to both fight and lead." "Well, yes, I suppose so," he said nodding in agreement. "Now come on, the banquet is in a half hour and you know that Father wouldn't want us to be the last to show." Link agreed, and quickly went to his private closet to dress. After he had gotton out of his normal elven-like battle clothing which he always wore when going into battle, or anywhere for that matter, Link then walked down the seemingly endless stretches of his wardrobe until he found just the right suit for the occasion: the royal garments which he had been given the day Zelda and he had been engaged. Even though he didn't care for the high class suits that most nobles wore, this was one of the few outfits he loved. Relaxing, and yet at the same time could be worn properly in physical activities. After looking himself in the mirror with satisfaction, he walked out to his and Zelda's room to meet her. That's when he saw her in all her beauty. Of all the things Link loved most of becoming a member of the Hyrulian royal family, Zelda was the best. Tonight he saw her in a dress that like any other, showed off her beauty to the greatest extent. Her hair being worn in the family's personally designed bow. Her dress, showing off her stunning figure, and allowing her to walk as elegently as any princess Link had dreamed of back in his childhood days. "Well," Zelda said looking over Link, "shall we go, handsome?" "Yes, let's," he replied smiling at her in sheer joy. They then went arm in arm down to the Grand Hall for the banquet of the Fall Harvest. Never was a previous event bigger. Before this the boundaries of Hyrule and Calatia had been in uneasiness. But now this year the treaty had finally been signed by the neiboring countries' high generals after five years of the kingdoms having rumors of wars aobut. Calatia's general being the country's greatest warrior, Berferide, and Hyrule's general being none other than the Hero of Time, Link. Having this in play, the two generals were the guests of honor. And of course, a dinner of two countries would not be suttle at all. Oh no, for this event, the southern end of the Grand Hall was taken down and extended at least a few hundred feet. Hyrule's finest textile workers were chosen to make the rare silken table cloths, curtains, napkins and enormous rugs featuring showing off the same insigna for both lands, the great and self-explanitory Triforce. Since both countries had known of the great tales of the sacred realm, both chose to accept it as their sign. The king of Hyrule had hoped that this would lead to a more unified country side. Though he did not plan to completely join the two kingdoms, though he had hoped that Hyrule would lead the two into peace. "Link! Zelda! Come, come!" The king called from across the great hall. Already guests from nearby villages were coming in and the Hall was begining to crowd and yet not even a fraction of the attendents were there. "Will this not be the finest feast ever of Hyrule?" "Your majesty, I had hoped that something this wonderful would result in signing the treaty at Lake Hylia" Link said bowing to his king. "Well, you just wat until tonight, my boy, I've prepared a little something extra special at the end of the feast. Now, I'm certainly not going to spoil the surprise for you two just yet, you'll have to just have to wait and see! Ha ha!" And with these words he walked off to attend to last minute preparations. "Now my love, shall we take our seats?" "But of course, handsome." They then seated themselves at the end of the main table, just a few chairs form the head of the table, where the two kings would sit. The chairs, both made individualy for the two lovers, were more comfortable than most of the couches of the throne room itself. Sitting down, Link commented, "I just don't know if I'll ever get used to these luxaries." After about twenty minutes, the feast started kicking off. Soon all of the travellers from Calatia had arrived, and both kings were seated side by side. And as along with them, all the members of each royal family, both on opposite sides of the table. Besides the table of the families, there were four other tables. On the north end, there were the attendents to the Hyrulian royal family. Then on the southern end there was the Calatian attendents. While most of the servants were busy enjoying this short time of feasting, LInk wass engaged in a rather odd conversation with the nephew to the king of Calatia. "Now, as I understand, you were not actually born in Hyrule, but in a forest or something like that?" "Well, yes," Link replied trying to tolerate the young snob. "My mother was a Hyrulian running from danger in Hyrule field, and after arriving at the forest, she gave birth to me, and the spirit gaurdian of the wood at the time, the Deku Tree, promised my mother that I would be taken care of." "And did you ever find out who your mother was exactly?" the boy asked with a slight hint of cunning. "No... as it seemed before I could find out the original tree perished from a curse Ganondorf had placed on it, and then the sprout could only tell me of my mother's arrival at the forest, but not her identity." "So then I would suppose that this kingdom of Hyrule has a man who does not know anything of his ancestry preparing to lead the country one day?" Containing his sudden anger, Link was able to calm the arguement. "The king chose to give me Zelda's hand because of my expeirience in battle and stagedy, not because of my family's history." "Tell me, what exactly is your 'experience' in battle?" Upon this comment Zelda herself spoke in on the debate. "If you must know, this man has saved me from the imprisionment of Ganondorf Dragmire, a creature who could have ruled both Hyrule, Calatia, and all other countries in this world had it not been for the man that I will one day call my husband, and who you will call king." Before anything else could be said, the king stood up to get the attention of the whole Hall. "To my friends, and our new friends, I would like to make an announcement. For those of you who do not know already, my daughter Zelda, the princess of Hyrule, will be married to the well known 'Hero of Time', Link of Hyrule upon my retirement from the royal throne. What you may not know is the exact time of my stepping down. Tonight I would like to announce it infront of all of you, who I am ever so thankful for being here tonight. As of now, both Link and Zelda are eighteen years of age. On Link's twenty-first birthday, I shall crown him king of Hyrule, and then I shall name my daughter his queen. I would like to propose that we prepare another feast such as this one, as long an I have the permission of King Belemare..." The king of Calatia stood up to reveal his full height, something that often stunned people, being as tall as the man was. "Your majesty, it would be an honor to have my people back here for such a grand occasion," waiting for the appulse and reaction to end, he went on. "I only wish that I could have some-thing as good to honor you with. But for now, I believe that this would be in order for the current event." Motioning toward one of the men seated at the main table, he signaled for the lights to be dimmed. "I would like to introduce all of you to my master historian, Simadora. As most of you know,we Calatians can be credited with our incredible memories. Simadora is the countries finest historian, and also a highly trained illusionist. Tonight he would like to entertain all of you with a story that we have kept to ourselves for several generations, until tonight. And now, Simadora, if you would." "Thankyou sire," he broke in with a voice deep enough to be felt. "I shall now show you the begining of my story." In saying this a large wall of smoke began floating upward on the far end of the Hall, but large enough to be seen by all. With his words pictures began to apprear on the smoke. "You all have heard the great story of the Triforce and its resting place in the Golden Land," with this a scene familar to Link appeared on the billowing wall. "However, there is a legend to the Triforce that not many know, another chapter to the story of the creation that the spirits left behind." Now a new image appeared, an image Link had never seen before. In a temple of what seemed like marble, a single object illuminated the walls. Link thought that it seemed to look as if it could fit perfectly into the empty area of the Triforce he had noted so many times. "There is a legend," Simadora continued, "that before the Three Spirits of Creation chose to leave the Triforce behind, they combined their powers to make what may have been the Triforce, except that a part of it was chosen to remain seperated. Some say that the Spirits did this purely because of the power contained within the indestructable mass." Turning to the royal table he spoke with a tone that took his voice to a level of striking immeaditate fear in to the heart of even Link himself. "For a longer time than the founding of Hyrule and Calatia put together, a rumor has been passed down through my ancestory telling of what exactly the miss-ing part of the Triforce can do. What I am about to tell all of you here to celebrate our peace will undoubtedly cause many of you to change the subject of talk tonight, forgive me, for I am but a story teller." Facing to the image of smoke, he focussed all power into intensifying the picture. "The Spirits knew that one day someone would need this power, someone would want this power to save themselves from insanity, from becoming an unreachable life form who cannot be brought back from what can be called pure mental chaos. And yet they also knew of the horrible possiblities that a person that is evil in its purest form could eventually come across the Triforce, and use all four of its divisions: Power, Courage, Wisdom, and the final missing link to the incomprehendable magic of the Triforce, something that because it is by itself and not a part of our symbol, it could be called the Uniforce... of Rest. Waiting for a reaction, which there was plenty of, the historian gravely continued. "I understand that the concept of the Spirits wishing to hide away something that seems simple as Rest can be confusing, but perhaps I can explain. Imagine someone who has for their whole life worked as a farmer, someone who spent all of their years toiling in the fields to raise crops in order to survive, and then suddenly they come across good fortune, and there is no need for them to farm ever again. Think for a moment, what would this person do with their day? One who has made their life a farming one would have to find other ways to fufill the time. But this is all they know, all they want to know, and all they will ever know. They will have never gone a day without striving in the fields. They will not be able to go on longer, and then they will slip into insanity and die. But what if there was a way to make them wish to give up their farming ways? A means of causing all emotional ties to harvesting to simply go away. Why, then they could pursew new interests in life. They would not die in mental limbo. Life would go on, and it would be a glorious time for the ex-farmer. "If this can be accomplished, then one would think that the Spirits would place the Uniforce of Rest in the middle of Hyrule for all to see. But then we must take into consideration the dangers of such a power. Pictue if you would another scenerio. Perhaps the evil of Ganondorf Dragmire was threatening the safety of one of our great countries, and all that was stopping him was the wise leadership of the land's king. If the enemy could use the Uniforce of Rest on the king, then the ruler would no longer have the ability to rule, nothing would stand in our enemies way, and all would be doomed. "Something that goes with the legend of the Uniforce of Rest is that the holder has the ability to choose what desire to take away. This can only mean that if used in the hands of an evil soul, all of a country's army could be made from soldiers into working slaves. Their instinct to fight would be extin-gushed, but their talent of indurence would remain. "As complex as this all seems, there is no doubt that the Spirits of Creation had thought this through for several centuries before coming upon the decision to hide the Uniforce in its rest place where it stays to this day. I only hope everyday that for the safety of both Hyrule and Calatia that the temple of Eternal Rest is never found by one who heart is of evil. Thank you all, and may we come together in peace quickly." Finally, after stunning his audience into silence, the bold historian sat at his plate to finish his meal. In an instant, the wall of smoke vanished, and the lights were once again bought back to there level of feasting and dancing. "My," Zelda said to Link breaking the silence, "that story was certainly worth the time." "Yes, my love." "Do you think that there may be some possibily that any of our men could ever pentrate the temple?" Shocked, Link shushed Zelda and rushed her off to a concealed store room. "What do you mean, 'penetrate the temple?'" "Link, think about it, if we could get a hold of this, then you could retire from your warrior ways a happy man and still keep the amazing ability you have to lead the army while at the castle and still lead afairs other then military." "But, we have no way of even knowing where to begin looking for the Uniforce this man speaks of." "Then why don't we just be as bold as Simidora is and simply ask him if he knows?" Pondering at the thought, Link replied, "But this man is not of our country, he may not want to share anymore than he already has with us." "This is our only alternative, we only have three more years until my father stands down and gives you the crown of Hyrule. You know what Kimidora said was true! There is no way that you'll be able to stop fighting in battle without having some lost memories, you may not be able to lead Hyrule like that. We have to ask this man where the temple of Eteranal Rest is!" "Very well my love, I shall go find out where the Uniforce is." Before Link could even make his way back to the Hall, Simidora himself appeared in the corridor. "How..?" "Don't waste your time questioning me, Link of Hyrule. Let me get right to the point. After my years of study in history, I have found that I can also understand what will happen in the future. And in this future you will become the king of both Hyrule and what is now called Calatia. The only way that this can happen is if you rule with a strong mind. It is for this reason that out of great sorrow, I shall reveal to you the location of the Uniforce." Sighing, he began to help Link understand his future journey. "You obviously know of the Golden Land, well, you will have to go back to them. The Spirits chose to keep the Uniforce in a place where it would be more isolate than even the Triforce. Underneath the pyrmid on which the Triforce now rests, there is a vast series of tunnels and chambers. These will take you to a portal in which you must place the Triforce of Courage. In doing this you will open up the cage in which the Spirits locked the gaurdians for the Uniforce. They will be unlike anything you have ever dreamed of. You will need new weapons to defeat them, for this you will need to carry with you the Triforce of Power. Then the Test will await you after the presence of the gaurdians are felt no more. For this, take your lover with you and let her hold the Triforce of Wisdom, she will aid you in doing this. If there is more after this I do not know of it, my family has never know what lies beyond the Test, only that you will eventually reach the Uniforce of Rest in its doorless temple. How you will reach this I do not know either. If you are successful you will emerge here without any passing of time in this realm, and you will not age while in the Golden Realm. Now I must go, my king has been angered by my conversation with you. May you have good fortune on your quest!" After Simidora had left, Link turned back to Zelda to make the gravest decision of his and her life. "Zelda, I know you can do this, open the gate to the Golden Realm." "If I die with you, I will die in pure happienes, my Hero of Time." Soon she found the strength to break apart the binding threads of space and access the Gateway of Gold. They then, hand in hand, went forth unarmed, dressed for dancing, to conquer the greatest force that one can know of. This force is known as the Binding Force of Link. -ChristianWarrior5000(same guy, different name)- christian82282@yahoo.com [ Let it be know that I give all credit of creativity to God Almighty, my one and true idol. ] All know of the tale of the great battle between Link and the all evil Ganondorf Dragmire, we all have heard of the several battles fought between the two of them on countless occasions, but what happens when all is defeated, when all of the moblins, ghosts, spirits and temples are destroyed, leaving all that is good?

This is a story of conquering that force within one's self, and the power of it. -THE BINDING FORCE OF LINK:PART II- Both Link and Zelda could feal the indescribible rush of pure power as they flew through the Golden Gate in a swirling tunnel of fire, water, earth and wind to reach the end of the Gateway where it seemed that all the elements would converge together to fall in on them, and then they found themselves on top of the great pyramid where Link had placed the Triforce hoping that it would never be touched again. He was wrong. "Okay, now then..." Link said panting from the effects of the Gateway, "Zelda, as much as I hate to do this, we have to break the Triforce again. You take the Triforce of Wisdom, I'll carry the Power and Courage." While Zelda went to breaking Wisdom from the Triforce, Link took a moment to look around at the Golden Land. He knew the second the three pieces were seperated, this world would go dark again. The Triforce was the sun to this realm. He hoped so much that he could return it to normal within a short time. "Link! Wait, we don't have to break this!" Zelda started. "Can't we just wish for the Uniforce?" Wondering why he hadn't thought of it, Link said, "Well, why not, it worked for Ganondorf, why can't it work for us?" Taking the Triforce in his hands, he heard the sof voice speaking to him; "IF THOU HAS A WISH, SPEAK IT." "Take us to the Uniforce of Rest." Link commanded the timeless relic. Soon the pyramid began to tremble, causing both Link and Zelda to cling to the ground as the entire world seemed to fall apart beneath them. The Triforce began to glow in an imense white light, blinding the two of them, and then, as it seemed that Link and Zelda would never see their days as husband and wife, it all stopped. "THIS IS ONE WISH THAT IS BEYOND OUR POWER, FOLLLOW THIS WAY, AND THOU SHALT FIND THY DESIRE." As the Triforce said this, Link could see an opening below the area where the great power stood. Just big enough for the two of them to fit through, the unknown material the pyramid was made of had opened. "TAKE WHAT THOU WILL NEED FOR THINE JOURNEY," this was the last thing Link heard the Triforce say before it divided once more, this time on it's own. First it began to move apart slowly, then suddenly they could see it flying toward them. In a flash of light it was all over in a split second. When Link opened his eyes, he could see Zelda staring at him in awe. "Link! Look at your hands!" Looking donw at his palms, Link looked at them blankly. "No, not you palms, the other sides." Turning his hands around, Link was stunned to see the mark of the Triforce of Courage on his left hand, and the same sign he had seen on Ganondorf Dragmire's hand, the Triforce of Power. "Zelda, as of now, I hold within me the two most powerful pieces of matter in the world, I have only one question, whre is the Triforce of Wisdom?" Link looked into Zelda's blue eyes, he had always seen her as one of the smartest people he had ever and would ever meet There was nothing in the world he wouldn't deny her hold. And Link knew that the Triforce had something that could make her more cunning and briallant than a man of a thousand years in military experience. "Zelda, what mark is on the back of your hand?" "Link, if you look at the back of my hand. you will that there is a mark consisting of three tri-angles. The top is colored gold, the bottom right is also colored gold, but the bottom left is colored in a distinct color of red." They then embraced each other, knowing what full well what they had become. By Link holding Power and Courage within himself, and Zelda holding Wisdom within her, they had become two lovers who together were more powerful than Ganon had ever hoped to have been alone. For they held the pieces that each could master the control of. Letting go of each other, Link breathed deeply in through his nose, as if inhaling the power that had been given to him. He suddendly felt better than he ever had in his entire life. "Now then," he said to Zelda looking around with a sense of invincibility, "I think taht we should begin our quest to the one thing that the Triforce could not even take us to." "Link, I believe that when Simidora spoke of the tunnels underneath the pyramid, he had meant that we would find the entrance near the bottom of the complex, but perhaps this opening is the way the Spirits meant for us to take on our way to the Uniforce." "This is the same entrance I used to fight Ganon when the Triforce was in his possesion. It will more than likely take us back to the room where we fought for that long grueling battle. There will hopefully be a tunnel in the chamber that I didn't see the last time. Come then, let's be on our way." Link could remember that feeling of floating down to the floor to land safely on the ground of the vast room. Looking around, he could see nothing new to him. "I don't understand it, all I can see here is what was kept intact after the battle." "Wait, didn't you mention something about a room that opened for you after you had killed Ganon?" "Yes, but what could that hold?" "Maybe it has the entrance to te tunnels." Walking over to the room where the Triforce had rested, Link could see what Zelda was guessing at. In the back of the hidden space, he could see a picture of the Triforce, except there was someting he had not seen before, in this picture, there was no hole in middle of the relic. Here it was a complete being. There was obviously someting special about this area. "I have an idea." Squinting his eyes at the picture, Link raised his hand slowly and pointed right at the center of the Triforce. "Open," he commanded. In an instant, the picture was gone and now there was only a tunnel glowing a yellow light, and stretching farther than they could see. Looking back at Zelda, Link smiled, "Well, it seems that you have just started to use the Triforce of Wisdom. This is only the beginning." "Yes, handsome," she teased, showing that even when in possesion of Wisdom, she still had her sense of humor that he loved about her. Studying the walls of the tunnel, Link noticed how the walls showed patterned lines going par-ralell to the ground. And on the ceiling the same paterns showed. Wondering what tehy coudl mean, Linik shrugged and entered the tunnel. "Link, do you think that there is anyway for us to get through here faster?" Zelda asked after the first hour of walking. "After all, if you have the Triforce of Power, you might as well see what it can do." "You're right, perhaps some horses can help us. It looks as if they could fit in here," concentrating, Link pointed to an area about ten feet infront of them. "Horses, appear." In an instant, two of the finest horses at Hyrules ranches appeared in the tunnel, calm as if they were still at their stables. Link's horse, a great stalion with a silver mane over a black body, was saddled in Link's own custom seat with his sword hanging at it's side. Zelda's horse, a white beauty all around, had Zelda's saddle on with her bow and filled arrow quiver. Mounting, Link commented, "Soon I should be able to do this without speaking." After two hours of riding, the horses tired, and the two deciced to rest for a while. Zelda said, "Wait a minute, the lines have moved!" "What?" "The patterns, when we first came in here, these patterns were lower to the floor, now they've moved almost all the way up to the ceiling," staring at the ceiling for a moment, she gasped suddenly. "The ceiling! The patterns there have moved as well! They've moved to the right some." "What does this mean?" "I think that we're slowly moving down and turning to the left, while these markings stay consistently straight, the tunnel itself curves. We must be moving in a huge cirlce beneath the pyramid." "Do you think that's what Simidora was talking about when he mentioned the tunnels?" "Most likely, but Link, he said a vast series of tunnels and chambers. All that we have seen so far is a tunnel, no chambers. How long do you think this tunnel goes on for?" Pondering, Link replied, "I don't know, but I've got a feeling that we won't get there too soon by the way these horses are going." Walking up to them, he placed his hands on their foreheads and thought to them: You will not become tired, you will run faster than a hundred horses could run together. The horses suddenly neighed loudly as if a bolt of energy had been shot through them. "Come Zelda, these horses will hopefully be able to take us to the porthole quickly now." Soon they were on the horses again, this time moving faster than any horse team either of them had ever seen run. As they raced down the tunnel, Link could see what Zelda was talking about. When tra-velling this fast, the patterns of shapes would blend together to make one solid line, which he could see were slowing begining to move upward toward the ceiling. He guessed at the rate they were going, they had dropped down about 100 feet. Hopefully the would reach something distictive in the next few hours. They did. After what Link had thought a to have been five hours and 300 feet, they came to a sharp turn in the tunnel, where they then found an immense room, glowing in the same light, but there did not seem to be any way out of this chamber. "What now?" they both wondered. Suddenly, they could hear a thundering coming from an unknown place. Then, in a flash of blue light, one side of the chamber opened, revealing what possibly could have been the oddest looking creature either of them had ever seen. A four legged beast, standing twice as high as the horses, with skin that seemed like leather off of the black hybred pigs Link had seen on Death Mountain. Patches of skin seemed to come out of its head that looked big enough for Zelda to hide behind. The oddest thing of all was the tenticle it had. Not eight or ten like other beasts Link had fought, but instead just one extending from below and between the creature's eyes. Without warning it roared out in a sound that resembled the blaring of some of the untuned trumpets Zelda had heard in the royal band practices. After this it began to charge. Acting on instinct Link unsheathed his sword to attack it. There seemed to be no body armour on the mutant, so he simply made a sweeping cut on its single tenticle. Again roaring in that trumpet like voice, the beast began to waver around and then collapse on the floor. But then, instead of disapearing like other monsters made by magic, it simply lay there, bleeding through its tendril and beginning to smell horrible. Wishing the stench to leave, Link wished the monster off, but ot his shock, he could not. Looking back at Zelda, who had shot a few arrows into the creature's head to be sure the beast was dead, he wondered out loud, "What now?" "Perhaps the room where the mutant came from can help." Heeding to her advice, Link walked into the chamber where it seemed the monster could have bearly fitted into. Immeadiatly, he saw an inscription on the wall that was glowing blue like the wall had when it opened. He gestured for Zelda to come nearer. Link then read the inscription outloud: "THE ONE WHO READS THIS IS A STRONG ONE, BUT IF YOU HAVE TRIED THE TRIFORCE'S POWER ON THE BEAST, YOU ARE NOT A WISE SOUL. THIS CREATURE IS NOT A CREATION LINKED TO THE TRIFORCE OF THE THREE SPIRITS, IT IS SOMETHING TAHT WAS FORGED BEFORE THE SEPERATION OF THE UNIFORCE, THEREFORE LEAVING IT IMMUNE TO THE TRIFORCES WONDERS. IT IS MOSTLIKELY SOMETING THTA YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE, SOMETHING UNLIKE THE ANIMALS YOU HAVE SEEN. THIS CREATURE IS FROM BEYOND THE PORTHOLE FROM WHICH YOU STAND BEFORE, IT CAME FROM THE LAND WHERE THE UNIFORCE OF REST IS SUPREME. IF YOU SEEK THE UNIFORCE, YOU MUST BE ONE WHO IS OF GREAT ENDURANCE, ONE WHO IS A WILLING FIGHTER, AND ONE WHO IS NOT AFRAID OF DEATH. GO NOW, PLACE THE HAND OF WHICH THE TRIFORCE OF COURAGE REST ON THE WALL INFRONT OF YOU, AND FACE THE GAURDIANS." Looking at each other in puzzlement, they then glanced toward the wall they had read about. It was much like the picture they had seen in the first room, but here the Triforce was gone, and only the Uniforce remained. "The inscription said to place the hand in which the Triforce of courage rests on the wall. Zelda, whatever comes out of there, keep in mind that I will have to supply you with weapons. More than likely we will suffer serious pain, but remember that we cannot die while in this realm. I know you better than I know myself, but I have to ask you this one question, can you endure this?" "As long as I have you by my side, I will endure anything that comes against me. My actions shall be in perfect syncrinization with yours, and we shall be one fighting force." "Give your thoughts to me as we go, because I know that you have the wisdom and cunning to do this." Link then did what Zelda had done at the castle and began to open a gate way to another world, this time not knowing what would lie on the other side, and only hoping that it would not measure up to the force which he knew was unconquerable by his standards, a power that can be called the Binding Force of Link.
