Chapter 179: The Wind Temple
They appeared outside the mountain, before the entrance to the cavern to the Earth Temple.
“That was easy,” Sonic said. “A bit boring.”
Phantom rolled her eyes. “You want Mewtwo to attack us while we explore the temple?”
“Well… It would have certainly made bringing Medli to the praying room more interesting.”
“And more difficult and dangerous, and then, Mewtwo would have constantly targeted Medli even after reaching our goal of making her pray for the sword, so we would have been forced to remain here to protect her. I know that, with Link, we have better chances against Mewtwo, but no thanks. Let’s wait until we get the full powered Master Sword before we try our luck.”
At that, they returned to the King of Red Lions and teleported to Gale Island. After receiving news from Zelda, they went to the cavern. Once inside the cavern, before the stone tablet, Toon Link and Makar looked at each other, nodded, and played the Wind God’s Aria. Once done, like with the Earth Temple, the stone tablet crumbled, opening the path to a hole, the real entrance of the Wind Temple.
They dropped in a room like the one at the entrance of the Earth Temple, and the group passed the only door, entering a door with a pit separating it in two, cyclones coming out of a grid in the ceiling making it impossible for Toon Link to reach the other side with his Deku Leaf. There was still a spring for him to take height for the leaf.
At the bottom of the pit were two small patches of dirt with a hole in the middle, another spring, and some kind of bird wizard that appeared and twirled a wand. Toon Link called it a Wizzrobe. The bird eventually sent fire that the heroes easily avoided before he disappeared only to reappear and repeat his actions. Phantom beheaded him. But then, a Stalfos came out of the ground, and Phantom blew it up with a bomb of her own creation before she grabbed the skull and crushed it in her hands.
She saw by the same occasion, hidden behind a wall, that there was a teleportation jar, so she destroyed the lid. Meanwhile, Apple Death saw a switch at the other side of the room.
“A Wizzrobe and a Stalfos right from the start. This temple will be more dangerous than the Earth Temple,” Makar said with some worry.
“It still shouldn’t be a problem,” Apple Death said before pointing at the switch and shouted, “Hey! Phantom! Can ya press that switch?”
Phantom gave her a salute and flew to the switch, pressing it, causing the cyclones to disappear. Thanks to that, Toon Link was able to use the Deku Leaf to reach the other side after using the spring (he had to use his boots to press it) to gain height. Meanwhile, Makar descended to the patches of dirt and planted seeds into them, growing two small trees in a few seconds (the trees had faces!). The next instant, a chest containing an orange rupee appeared. Once he was done here, Makar used his leaf to fly to the other side. At the same time, Apple Death levitated Link, Sonic, and Amy to allow them to pass the pit.
Next room, they found themselves face to face right away with two living one-eyed statues known as Armos. Between them was a propeller, the kind that had to be blown by wind.
The Armos were easily destroyed, their weakness being their back. Once the statues were gone, Toon Link used the Deku Leaf to blow wind at the propeller, rotating the wall at the back so it was now a part of the ceiling. This revealed a Blade Trap, two switches, one pressed and one not, and two patches of dirt before the exit door which was barred.
They tested the switch, causing the wall to rotate again, closing behind them, and now, they had to press the other switch to rotate it again. Makar planted seeds into the patches to grow trees, causing the bars on the door to disappear.
“And again, the temple was made with a Korok in mind,” Sonic said. “As Medli said, as if it was planned.”
“Maybe Hyrule had people to see the future,” Amy proposed.
“If that was the case, then they would have seen Ganondorf coming,“ Phantom said.
Amy shrugged. “Maybe they could only see specific things.”
They saw that the room had an upper level, and Apple Death went to look only to see that Toon Link will be needed, and he couldn’t go there yet. There were weird targets on the walls.
“Oh, I think that I know which item we will find in this temple,” Link said. “It comes really late compared to me.”
They went to the next room. Right away, there was an exit door at the right, behind bars. Before them was a pit separating them to an upper level section. Between them were two ledges. They could see patches on them, and at the other end of the room, another barred door.
So Makar went to plant seeds again, one on each ledge and one at the end of the room. As soon as he planted the last seed, causing the bars on the doors to disappear, four Floormasters appeared and threatened to capture him. Phantom, Apple Death, Sonic, and Amy intervened right away to stop them, each killing one.
“Thank you!” Makar said. “You saved me!”
“No problem,” Sonic said.
Toon Link couldn’t climb on the ledges and reach the other side, so the group had no choice but to take the door at the right.
They were now in a large room with a circular floor similar to the wall they had to raise earlier, signifying that it probably could be opened too some way. There were some targets present on the walls, sculpted columns at the left and right, head statues with similar targets on walls, and weird flying spiked orb enemies with one eye and using leaves as propellers. Toon Link said they were Peahats. Link was surprised because they didn’t look at all like the Peahats he encountered. At the other side of the room was a door guarded by statues larger than the Armos, Armos Knights.
The Links killed the Peahats with their bows, then approached the center of the room, allowing them to see the rest of it.
At the left was a prison cell with the exit blocked by a heavy statue head with a target, like the ones on the walls but larger.
“This is probably where the Floormasters planned to bring Makar after capturing him,” Phantom said.
“And without you guys, they would have succeeded,” Toon Link said.
At the right of the room was a ledge with two more columns, a switch, a jar, and a door. The switch was probably the one opening the floor, and it looked like it would need something heavy to press it.
Since Toon Link couldn’t get on the ledge, they went to the door at the other end of the room, the Links destroying the Armos Knights by throwing bombs into their mouths once they opened it. They had to be careful of the statues as they attempted to ram them with their spikes before they exploded.
The next room had more Peahats and a Blade Trap. There was another rotating wall in the middle of a pit, and two squared holes in the ground, the left one blocked by a cracked tile that, surprisingly, couldn’t be destroyed by a bomb. Some testing revealed that the boots were the item needed to destroy it.
They descended to the lower section of the floor where a Floormaster awaited them beside a spring. It was quickly killed, allowing Toon Link to use the Deku Leaf on a propeller to rotate the wall so it was now a bridge to the other side of the room. In the lower section, it also revealed another spring, but using it would only lead them to hit the bridge. They would have to rotate the bridge back into a wall first to use it.
So they used the first spring (or flew) to return to the upper level where they used the bridge to traverse to the other side where they had to kill more Peahats while avoiding another Blade Trap. There was also another propeller to rotate the bridge, but they left it alone for now. In an alcove at the left, there was also a chest containing a butterfly pendant.
At the end of the room was a stone tablet for the Wind God’s Aria. At its left was a door. Before Toon Link and Makar could play it, Apple Death talked.
“So… Makar should be captured. So should we explore what’s behind this stone tablet?”
Everyone looked at Link, waiting for him to answer.
“Mmh… I want to avoid doing things out of order…”
“But we could give it a look?” Makar questioned.
Link was silent for a moment, thinking, before he nodded. “Alright.”
So Toon Link and Makar played the song, destroying the stone tablet and revealing a door. They passed it, entering a small room with three Darknuts, two with white armor and one with black armor. The door barred behind the group after they entered, leaving them no choice but to eliminate the enemies.
Toon Link took on the black on which was clearly stronger, letting the others deal with the white ones. In the end, killing the black Darknut took just a bit longer than usual. The method was the same, but he took more hits. He also attacked faster.
Once all three Darknuts were killed, a door at the end lifted, revealing a familiar fancy chest. Opening it indeed revealed the golden key.
“Yeah, definitely out of order. No way we would get the golden key so early,” Link said.
“Well, at least, we won’t have to return here,” Amy said.
“I love avoiding backtracking,” Sonic said.
They left and took the remaining door in the previous room.
The next room was one where the Deku Leaf was king. Toon Link had to use a cyclone while gliding with the leaf to gain height and reach a ledge with a switch to rotate a grid and advance. Then, after killing a Wizzrobe, he had to use more cyclones while gliding to reach a dead end with a chest containing the map, then to reach the end of the room where another Wizzrobe and two Peahats were present.
To gain time, Phantom pressed the switch at the start, then Apple Death went to open the chest to get the map. At the end, Sonic Homing Dashed on the Peahats to reach the Wizzrobe and kill him.
Passing the door at the end, they arrived on the ledge of the room with the prison cell and the circular floor that could open. Toon Link used the boots right away to press the switch here, opening the floor. Link, meanwhile, burned the lid of the jar.
Toon Link then jumped into the revealed pit, using the leaf to glide down after dropping far enough. On the way, Apple Death opened a chest on a platform, obtaining the compass.
The pit had many such platforms against the wall, many with a target above them, either directly on the wall or as part of a statue head on the wall.
At the bottom, after dealing with Peahats, they looked around and saw two doors. One was locked, and one could be opened right away. There were also two patches of dirt under the platform with the chest.
Makar planted seeds in the patches, growing two trees. It had the effect of activating a giant fan under the floor, creating a large cyclone to propel Toon Link upward to climb back up with the leaf.
They then took the only accessible door, entering a room with five cracked tiles before a ledge with spikes. Choosing a tile randomly, Toon Link went to the one at the very left and used the Iron Boots to destroy it, dropping to a lower section of the room with two blocks, one of which had a spring on it. There were also three Armos that didn’t come to life and a group of Red ChuChus that dropped from the ceiling.
The ChuChu were quickly killed, and the heroes saw that they had to push and pull the block with the spring under a hole at the end of the room so Toon Link could go on the ledge above. They also had to bring the other block beside it so Toon Link could use it as a step to reach the spring.
Once on the ledge, Toon Link opened the chest, getting a key. The spikes lowered immediately.
But it wasn’t over. The compass said that another chest was in the room. Something told the heroes that it had to do with the remaining cracked tiles, so Toon Link destroyed them one by one, each tile causing a new group of enemies to appear, including causing the Armos to come to life. Once all five tiles were destroyed, the second chest appeared, containing a treasure chart.
Key in hand, they returned to the previous room and opened the locked door, entering a large arena room where a Wizzrobe not like the others welcomed them. This one had an orange robe instead of a dark one with a red hood, and he had some kind of tribal crown or mask, or both at once.
The Wizzrobe laughed and summoned a normal Wizzrobe with a yellow hood and a golden-armored Darknut.
“An enemy that can summon other enemies? Wow, that’s harsh,” Link said. “You fighting him alone would have been very difficult.”
And to make it worse, the summoned Wizzrobe with a yellow hood could also summon enemies, weaker ones, like Peahats, while sending fireballs.
Toon Link focused on the orange Wizzrobe, searching where he teleported by following the weird sound he made each time he appeared. So, while the others took on the various summoned enemies (prioritizing the yellow-hooded Wizzrobe), Toon Link used his bow to fire at the orange Wizzrobe. When he had the occasion, like when the Wizzrobe appeared above the floor, Toon Link charged at him and attacked him with his sword until he disappeared.
After a long battle, the Wizzrobe was killed. The remaining enemies were quickly eliminated after that.
Once the last enemy was gone, a chest appeared in the center of the room.
And as Link guessed, it contained the hookshot.
Toon Link used it right away to reach a platform to use the hammer on a stake, unlocking the exit.
Now done with the basement floor for now (the map said that there was more, but they couldn’t find the door to the rest yet), Toon Link used the giant cyclone to climb back to the first floor where he landed before the cell. Here, he used the boots and the hookshot to remove the statue at the entrance, allowing him to enter the cell and reach a chest containing a pendant.
Finally, they returned to the room where Makar almost got captured by Floormasters where Toon Link could now use the hookshot on the trees to reach the other side of the pit. A yellow-hooded Wizzrobe was now present to make it difficult, but he was quickly killed by Phantom before he could even summon something.
They passed the door at the end of the room, entering a room that was very similar except that there were Blue Bubbles. Toon Link quickly discovered that he could use the hookshot to bring them to him while removing by the same occasion their blue fog, turning them harmless.
As soon as the floating skulls as well as a Floormaster at the end were killed, Makar went to plant seeds to grow trees that Toon Link could use to reach the end of the room with the hookshot.
Passing the door, they were back in the main room of the temple, with the giant cyclone. They had to press two switches to rotate the grid blocking the way. They quickly found out that it opened part of the floor on the fan, meaning that there was an even lower section of the room than expected.
Before going to see what was there, Toon Link went to open a chest at the left, containing a pendant. Then, seeing the door at the other side of the room, they went to see what was behind it, which was supposedly a dead end with a chest.
The new room revealed to have no less than seven Armos. The seven members of the group each took on one, even Makar who flew and dropped behind one of the statues before he headbutted its weak point hard. Once all the Armos were destroyed, a door opened, revealing the chest which contained a key.
Now done with the second floor, they returned to the main room and returned to the basement floor where they waited for the fan to stop for a moment to jump through and reach the lowest section. Here, they found a locked door.
The new room after it was circular, had many platforms with targets against the wall, had two Stalfos, and had one yellow-hooded Wizzrobe.
The Wizzrobe was killed right away by Apple Death, letting the others deal with the Stalfos. Once the enemies were dead, Toon Link had to climb the platforms to reach a switch that had to be pressed with the boots to unlock the exit.
It wasn’t over. The compass said that there was still a chest. So they searched.
Some of the targets above the platforms were statues, so Link used the boots and the hookshot to remove them to see if it did anything. Some of them were revealed to hide Bokoblins that were quickly killed. Once they were all dead, a chest containing a treasure chart appeared.
In the next room, they were welcomed right away by four green Bokoblins, followed by two Armos Knights. At the other side of vertical cyclones were Peahats and a Floormaster.
The room itself was composed of two spurs of rock facing each other surrounded by a pit. Between them were the cyclones.
Once all the enemies were dead, Makar flew above the cyclones and planted a tree in a patch at the extremity of the second spur, causing the disappearance of the cyclones and allowing Toon Link to cross the gap between the two spurs.
After the exit door was a room with three horizontal cyclones facing the heroes when they entered. There were also three blocks, three Blade Traps, and a small trench.
It took some thinking, but the heroes eventually understood that they had to use a block to block the first two blades against the wall, then a second block as a bridge in the trench, then the third block to block the third blade, using the second block to traverse the trench, all the while resisting the strong wind. Toon Link had to use his boots. Apple Death had to use her powers to bring Link to the end of the room.
Beyond the doorway at the end was a stone tablet, meaning that Toon Link and Makar had to play the Wind God’s Aria to destroy it and reveal the room hidden behind. In this room were the last jar and the door with the golden lock.
“So, wanna bet on what we will fight?” Phantom asked.
“Some giant bird controlling the wind?” Sonic proposed.
“Eh. We already got the giant bird, even if we didn’t get to fight it thanks to Mewtwo,” Apple Death said.
“Something requiring the hookshot, that’s for sure,” Link said. “Maybe a dragon? You didn’t get to fight one yet, right?”
Toon Link shook his head, worried. A dragon didn’t sound nice to fight.
He unlocked and opened the door, and everyone entered the last room of the temple.
The room was absolutely HUGE and had sand, surrounding a round platform with the Triforce and Hyrule symbol. They jumped down from the ledge they were on, and almost immediately, the room began to shake.
Then, sand began to fall from the ceiling, and the sand level of the room began to rise, burying the platform. After a few seconds, the sand in the center rose, forming a sand dune.
Then, before the heroes, out of the sand flew a giant sandworm, the gigantic beast screeching while flapping its mouth. The thing flew around for a few seconds before it dove back into the sand.
Thus, the battle against the mighty Molgera began.
“A sandworm. Didn’t expect that,” Phantom said.
“It’s huge! Will we defeat it?” Makar wondered.
“Bring it on!” Sonic shouted.
Molgera’s head came out of the sand, revealing its blue tongue. Toon Link understood right away what he had to do and used the hookshot to grab it so he could attack it. That really hurt Morgera who vomited green blood. The sandworm then released several smaller worms before returning into the sand.
While the heroes were busy dealing with the worms, the sand under Toon Link’s feet lowered, turning into a sand pit. Toon Link saw that and quickly escaped just before Molgera’s head came out of the ground, almost eating him. Again, Link used the hookshot on its tongue, attacking it until Molgera vomited more blood and returned in the sand after releasing more worms.
“This is already a bit more difficult than the ghost,” Amy said.
“But it remains easy for now. These worms are nothing,” Sonic said.
Suddenly, Molgera flew out of the sand, screeching. As the heroes finished the worms, Molgera flew around a bit, then dove right toward Makar, mouth wide open.
Makar yelled in terror, but he still quickly acted and planted many seeds into the sand, forming a wall of trees between him and Molgera. Apple Death still came and took him away just before Molgera rammed the trees, destroying them but also stunning it, its long body sprawling on the sand. Amy ran before its head and crushed its tongue until Molgera vomited green blood and buried itself into the sand, releasing more worms.
“Ew! I have green blood all on me!” Amy shouted.
“Worry about that later,” Phantom shouted while she killed one of the worms that had been about to attack Amy.
Molgera began to trick them. One moment, the sand was lowering under Amy, the giant worm seemingly targeting her, the next, the sand lowered under Link, then under Toon Link, then under Makar, then under Sonic. Not knowing when Molgera would come out, the seemingly targets were forced to run.
Finally, Molgera came out under Phantom who decided to not escape. The jaw closed around her, only for her to turn giant and to keep the jaw open with her own feet while she materialized a lightning spear and threw it right into the mouth, dealing huge damage to the sandworm and stunning it. Toon Link took the occasion and used the hookshot to bring its tongue to him to attack it.
With one last hit, Molgera vomited more green blood and screeched loudly before he sank into the sand.
Then, Molgera flew out of the sand screeching in agony, flying erratically until it eventually stopped, its body turning into sand before exploding.
The sand level of the room then lowered, revealing the circular platform where the triangle at the center of the Triforce began to glow blue, like in the Earth Temple.
Makar then joined Toon Link before the light, violin out, ready to play.
“Let’s do it, Link.”
Toon Link nodded. “Yeah.”
He then planted the Master Sword in the center of the blue light, then took out the Wind Waker, and they began to play the Wind God’s Aria.
Fado eventually appeared, playing alongside Makar.
What happened in the Earth Temple repeated here. The Triforce on the ground began to glow golden. Then, power accumulated into the Master Sword. Toon Link then went to grab the sword while Fado disappeared.
As Toon Link looked at the sword, he felt power within him as the sword itself glowed, its holy power restored.
Toon Link couldn’t help but admire the sword. “So this is the real Master Sword? Wow…”
“Yes,” Makar said. “The power to repel evil is now fully restored to your Master Sword… And my ancestors are most satisfied.”
“Finally,” Phantom said.
A light appeared on the Triforce.
“I shall continue praying to the gods here,” Makar said. “Please step into the light and return aboveground.”
“Now, Mewtwo won’t stand a chance against us!” Amy exclaimed.
“Yeah!” the others said in return as they all stepped into the light.
“May the winds of fortune be at your back,” Makar said before they disappeared.
They appeared outside the mountain, before the entrance to the cavern to the Wind Temple.
“Aww yeah! Now, let’s find Mewtwo and kick its butt!” Sonic said.
“It shouldn’t be hard to find him, right? Apple Death wondered.
“Or we make it find us. We make something big that can be seen from very far, and it will come to us,” Phantom said.
“Before we search for it, there is one last thing we must do!” the Red Lion shouted at them from where he was.
Everyone looked at him, then approached him.
“What do you mean?” Toon Link asked.
“We must search for the Triforce of Courage. It should give Link the edge needed to get the upper hand. Also, it’s preferable that we get it before Mewtwo gets it.”
The heroes looked at each other, then back at the boat.
“Alright then. Where is the Triforce of Courage, if you know?” Sonic asked.
“Divided into shards, here and there. We will have to find charts indicating the location of some of them, and someone to decipher them for us. Sadly, I don’t know where the charts and shards are. We will have to search all over the islands.”
Everyone groaned.

Master Sword. So many Master Things, it's sometimes hard to keep track of it all.

Thanks. Corrected it. I wrote too fast I guess.
Extra uppercase here.
And one missing here at the start of the sentence.
11902737
Thanks.
Hey, been a fan of the story for a while and even referenced Sweetie Void in my own story based around Castlevania, which you can find on my page, and the Castlevania story even took inspiration from A Sweetie Dreamland for how the ponies mainly fit into the plot. If you want, you can read it and see how you like it. I also have several other stories you can read if you want, just saying. Anyways, loved the chapter and have nothing bad to say. I just want to see Mewtwo get destroyed by the Master Sword because that'd be so fun to watch!

Thanks! I will give a look to your Castlevania story.
