Shining Armor, Princess Cadence, Cedric the Darknut, King Bulblin and their troops were cheering for the victory. When Link finally killed Ganondorf, all of his army just disappeared into black dust. As for the Changelings, they all changed into the same state Thorax did, like beautiful, colorful insect-like ponies that came in different colors.

"What.... happened to you?" asked Cedric with surprise.

"We don't know." said a changeling. "We hear that we transform when we feed off of love, but.... it suddenly happened without us doing that."

"That's because I am your new ruler now." said Thorax from the distance. He, Link, Colin, and the rest of his friends were walking proudly towards their allies, all smiling and feeling heroic. "Chrysalis forgot how love actually works. Please, let us put our hatred towards ponies, and or dragons aside and start out with peace and kindness. Look at how I transformed, and I didn't even have to feed off of others."

The changelings murmured, and started to realize their mistake, and wondered why they even loved that Chrysalis in the first place. They realize that Thorax was not a traitor, it was their former hero who is not their queen anymore. "Thorax, we are really sorry for thinking you were evil." a changeling apologized.

A couple of them went up to Princess Celestia, and Luna and bowed in respect "We are all sorry for the attack on Canterlot with the wedding, and that we were trying to suck love from all of you. Please, We ask you all forgiveness for all our sins."

The princess of the sun smiled warmly and walked up to them, and said "We all forgive you" then gently lifted the center one's chin so he can make eye contact with eye. Then Twilight, Fluttershy, and her friends along with Lyra, Bon Bon, and Big Mac all agreed with her.

"We welcome you to a new relationship between ponies and changelings. Oh, and a baby dragon." Luna remarked, obviously referring to Spike.

Princess Cadence and her husband stepped up, and announced "This war is over!" then they all cheered.

"And let's hear it for Link who killed Ganondorf and defeated Chrysalis!" Rainbow announced, holding Link's arm up. Then everyone screamed for Link, and then started chanting his name. For this, Link pulled out the Master Sword again, and raised it to the sun to make them even more excited.

"Thank you thank you." Link announced. "I promise you, the threat that my old enemy Ganondorf holds over Equestria is no more, and there is no reason to feel threatened anymore." and Everypony cheered again.

"And let us not forget about Princess Twilight Sparkle, her friends, Lyra, Bon Bon, Zecora, Discord, Big Macintosh, Epona, and Mathayus the Darknut leader."

All the ponies, she mentioned along with Discord and Spike waved at the crowd of ponies, darknuts, Bulblins, and even changelings alike and enjoyed the roar of the crowd.

Of course, Colin felt a little left out, and Celestia noticed. "Oh, and I almost forgot about Colin. Let us hear it for him too."

Thn Link pulled him to ride on his shoulders so the others can see him better, and Colin smiled as all of the ponies and his friends were cheering for him.

Mathayus went up and put a hand on his shoulder with a smile. "Well done, Colin."

"Well, I didn't really feel like I did anything. I was just under Gnondorf's control, trying to kill Link."

"Ah, don't worry about that, it wasn't your fault." Link said warmly.

"So do we." Applejack said.

"Say, your majesties, how about a celebration?" Pinkie suggested.

"That would be wonderful. And Link, we have found a way to send you, Epona, and Colin back home to Hyrule."

Link, Epona, and Colin were more than happy to hear that. "Well I'll be happier than a wolfos on Wednesday!" Said Epona

"That's good. Now we can see our family and friends. Again. But then Link looked back at his other friends that he made when he came all this way. "Hey, your majesties, would it be alright if we stayed here for the celebration, after all I was the one who saved all of you, and defeat Chrysalis. And of course, I couldn't have done it without all my friends."

"Aww, thanks Link." They all said, except Mathayus who just smiled. Lyra, Bon Bon, the elements of harmony, Discord, Big Mac, Epona, Colin, and Zecora all formed a large group hug.

"What about you, Mathayus? You are part of this friendship too?" Fluttershy remarked

"Oh, what the heck." Then he finally joined in.

"We make an awesome team, don't we?" Said Colin

"That you do." Said Celestia. "As a matter of fact, I hereby name you Lyra, Bon Bon, Discord, Zecora, and Big Macintosh as the newest protectors of Equestria next to the Twilight, and her best friends."

Thus, more cheering was heard. The five. names she mentioned were more than honored to be somepony very important to Equestria since they helped Link end to chaos and defeated a bunch of monsters to do it, and they all had a close connectin together.

"And Thorax, I hereby name you the new leader of the changelings." He smiled and was more than happy to be the new king.

"Thank you, your majesties. We promise you we will be a much better race."

Spike walked up to him and smiled, "way to go, Thorax. You're finally a king and a hero, like me."

They all laughed with him. "Thanks, Spike. I wouldn't have been like this without you." Then he and Spike hugged one another.

"So come on, everypony, let's party!" Pinkie announced. They all agreed, and they all had a celebration for saving all of Equestria, and Hyrule at the same time.

There was cake, music, and silly games. Meanwhile, Link was playing his beautiful harp that Lyra gifted him at his "welcome to Equestria" party. Everypony was enjoying it, and Colin was, too.

"Wow, Link, that's amazing." The boy complimented.

"Thanks, Colin." All of a suddenly King Bulblin and a few of his cronies walked up to him. 

"Pardon me, Link." He grunted. "We were still wondering if you will still talk to princess Zelda about us Bulblins being more equal in Equestria?"

"Of course. I haven't forgotten."

The king made an ugly smile showing his jagged teeth. "I am really glad I follow the strongest side." Then he went to mingle with other ponies.

The hylian decided to take a little break and went for a cup of iced punch, and Colin followed after him

"Hey, Link." Said Mathayus from behind him. Cedric was right next to him, with a piece of cake. 

"He, guys. Enjoying the party?"

"Oh yes. Absolutely." He replied.

"And this cake is absolutely delicious." Cedric added taking another bite of it.

The older brother cleared his throat. "You will help us find a better life in Hyrule, will you? And ask Princess Zelda for a talk about my people, will you?"

"Yes, we promise we will never hurt anyone, and build great relationships." Cedric added

"You know I will."

Both the dog-like creaturs smiled.

Then Colin walked up to Twilight, and her friends, congratulated the five new heroes that ace,estia gave honors to. "Hi."

"Hello, Colin." Said Fluttershy

"What's up?" Asked Rainbow Dash

"Hey, are you sure you guys are not mad at me for almost killing Link? Because I still feel guilty. It wasn't my fault, I swear."

"Oh, Colin." Said Twilight, wrapping her wing around his back. "It's okay, we know it wasn't your fault."

"Yes, how could we possibly blame an innocent, handsome face such as yourself?" Rarity said, making Colin flushed

"You're our friend, Colin. Nothing will ever change that."" Said Bon Bon

"Always." Lyra added. Then they all hugged him.

"Oy, Link." Called Pip from a distance. "Thank you so much for saving Equestria, you're my hero."

"Ah, thanks, Pip." Then he hugged the colt.

"Hey, Colin, you wanna play pin the tail on the pony with us?" Asked Applebloom.

"Sure." Then he, along with Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle went to play the silly game. 

"He is like you, Link. He has a sword and shield like you, and you are like a brother to him." Celestia remarked.

"I know, I raised him" Link replied.





Later, it was time for Link, Epona, Colin, the Bulblins, and Darknuts to go back home. Celestia opened a portal from Equestria to their world and it was open for as long as Link wants to enter through it.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye." Link said

"Yeah."

"You're majesties, will we see eachother again?" He asked the princess'

"Of course." Then she gave him a type of key, that was golden and had the element of magic on the end of it. "Whenever you want to come visit us again, you are more than welcome to use this key on any door, and come and go whenever you like."

"Wow. Thanks. Let me say my byes, and we'll be off." Then Link went to his friends to say his goodbyes. As did Colin and Epona. "Guys, thank you so much for helping me, it was very awesome to meet you all."

Pinkie Pie then hugged him tightly with tears in her eyes. "I'm going to miss you, guys!"

"Don't worry, Pinkie. We'll see the, again." Twilight remarked.

"Try to stay strong, okay, Pinkie?"

"Okay, Link." She wiped her eyes.

Then Link went on to Rarity. "You still thinking of creating a fashion line of ,y clothes for other ponies?"

"Oh yes, I still am gong to put that into action."

"And Applejack, it was nice working with your on your farm, and the same with you,my Big Mac. It was fun."

"Really fun." Colin added.

"Aww shucks, we'll miss you, partner." Said Applejack.

"Eeyup."

"Rainbow, you will stab cool, will you?"

"Of course, I will be fifty percent cooler." Then she bumped her hoof with Link's fist.

"Twilight and Spike keep on being great players for your team, and take care of everyone in Equestria along with your friends."

"We will."

"You can count on us." Spike added

"Zecora, I especially thank you for giving me that potion. Without it, I might have been dead by now."

The zebra laughed. "And I thank you for kindness and appreciation, for I a, glad I created that potion for rejuvenation."

"And Fluttershy. I really appreciate you letting me stay with you in your cottage. How are the helmasaurs and Keese behaving?"

"They are doing wonderful, they love their new home on my cottage." She replied. "And you are very welcome."

"Can I have one more hug before we go?"

"Of course." Then Link and Fluttershy one last time, then Colin joined in, then Epona, and the rest of his new best friends.

"And Discord, try to stay out of trouble, okay?"

"No promises." He remarked. They all laughed. 

"Well, bye, guys."

They all said their byes back to him and all three went back to Hyrule.

As they went through, they were straight back into Ordon village. Everyone noticed and they were all happy to see them again. Epona was back to her large, non-talkative stature.

"OH Link!" Said Bo. He and the townspeople rushed up to them. Their was also prince Rallis, the Goron elders, the freedom fighters, and princess Zelda herself.

"We're back." Link said.

Rusl and Uli both hugged Colin, more than happy to see him on safe hands "we were so worried about you." Said his mother.

"I'm fine."

"Where have you been?" Asked Beth.

"It's a rather long story, for now, me, Colin, and Epona just want to aid it easy right now."

"Yeah, we're tired." Colin added.

Then princess Zelda walked up to them. "I am so glad you are all safe." Then she hugged Link first then Colin, and gave him a little magic kiss. "I am pretty sure what you all been through will be a page-turner."

"Oh it is." Link replied. "You probably wouldn't believe us, your majesty. Oh, by the way, King Bulblin, and the darknuts wish to have a talk with you."

"Really? What for?"

"They want to be better races and want to be peaceful to all of the good people of Hyrule."

"Wonderful. I will remind them of when it will happen." She smiled.

Then the darknut leader, his brother, and King Bulblin and Bulbo went through another portal.

"Hello, my friends." Mathayus said. "Me and my brother mean you know harm. We come on peace."

"So do me and people." The king added with a snort.

"Wonderful, we will have a meeting about a conference for your people tomorrow morning."

All three smiled. "Thank you, princess." Mathayus said with a bow of respect.

"Ooh, Colin, is that a new shield?" Zelda asked the boy, noticing his new piece of protection.

"What? Oh, yep, it is." Then he took it out.

The kids and his parents looked on awe. "Amazing, it almost looks like, Link's shield." Said Rusl.

"Extraordinary." Uli added.

"I know, it will never melt, and dad, I'm sorry of I got my old shield burnt."

"It's alright, Colin." Rusl replied. "As a ,after of fact, me and your mother were trying to find a better shield for you, but it looks like that won't be necessary anymore." Colin smiled.

"Hey, Link." Said Ilia. She walked up to him, all shy-like and stammered a little. Link then felt the same way, and all of a sudden, they made a kiss on the lips, making everyone go "aww" while Beth and Malon went "eww."

When they broke away, Link said to Colin "so, why don't we have a little walk around the Faron woods, huh?"

"Sure."

"And why don't you take a little rest, Epona."

She whinnied back to him and walked away where she sat own the grass to take a rest. As both of them walked, they were at the sacred grove and Link promptly returned the Master Sword back in it's resting place. 

"So, how will you spar with me without a sword?" He asked

"Don't worry, Zelda said she will forge another sword for me, and with the resistance' he,p and the Gorons and Zoras, they promise to make it almost as powerful as the master sword. Till then I got my own Ordon sword.

"Oh yeah. So.... Are you sure we will see Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Lyra, Bon Bon, and the rest of our friends again?"

"Of course we will. We got the key, remember? We'll see them again on dew time." Link winked at him. The boy smiled at him, knowing that what he says is right. 

And so, Link and Colin went to sit at the Ordon spring together and look at the sky. Thanks to the Hero of Light and Darkness himself. They both looked at the clouds and the rainbow just above the spring, having a good laugh, like brothers would be like. There might be a new danger, but they know it will not happen anytime soon, and enjoyed the peace they have rung upon both Hyrule and Equestria.
