The Legend of Zelda - Equestria's Saviour

Hero vs Queen

Hero vs Queen

As one, the two charged each other and lunged when close enough with battle-cries echoing throughout the castle and the grounds around it.

Chrysalis used her horn to jab at Link's sword arm, trying to render it unusable. Link brought his arm behind him, protecting it and letting Chrysalis pass by. He span around, unleashing a quick spin attack. Chrysalis jumped out of the way, taking to the air.

She flew by Link, hoping to strike him with her hoof. Link caught the hoof on his shield and forced her away. Chrysalis tried again, but this time, using her horn. Instead of using his shield, Link used his sword to catch Chrysalis's horn. There was a brief power struggle, but the Golden Gauntlets Link was wearing shined through in pure strength. He effortlessly threw the Changeling aside and followed her. Slashing in a wide arc, Link tried to catch her unaware, but Chrysalis used her horn once more to stop it.

Chrysalis started to channel magic into her hooves, increasing her strength and speed, hoping to outclass the Hylian. She dove forward, trying to catch him off guard, but Link brought his shield up, deflecting the onslaught of attacks. Growing tired of failing, Chrysalis raced back and charged more magic into her horn. She unleashed a beam of energy at Link.

Link saw this coming and lifted his shield up again.

The beam of magical energy hit his shield dead on, but was reflected by the mirror surface. Directing it towards Chrysalis, Link managed to score a hit on the Changeling Queen.

"Come on you insect!" Link taunted, "I've faced harder than you and lived!"

Chrysalis let out a primal roar of rage and charged Link once more. She constantly used her longer horn as a sword, but Link used his to stop any and all blows to his person.

A slash. Link would parry it.

A jab. Link would catch it.

Magic. Link's shield would catch it and absorb it.

Anything. Link would counter it.

Link noticed something about Chrysalis's horn. Whenever he would strike it, either in an attack or in defense, little bits would chip off. It was slowly becoming noticeable that Chrysalis's horn was becoming smaller.

With a plan of attack, Link rushed the Queen, catching her off guard. He targeted her horn, trying to render her magic unusable. He slashed and jabbed at it, unrelenting. When he thought he had done enough to cripple her somewhat, Link used his shield to bash her on the head, dazing her and making her smash into a wall.

After a time, she stumbled out and levelled a glare in Link's direction. Once after regaining her balance, Chrysalis charged once more at Link. Acting quickly, Link equipped Nayru's Love, making a forcefield around him. Chrysalis didn't see the newly erected defense around Link and ran straight into it.

With a smirk, Link sat down on the ground, meditating. The purpose? To get Chrysalis pissed off.

It did.

"Problem?" Link asked mischievously.

In rage, Chrysalis kept on using magic and her hooves to try and find a way through the impenetrable barrier. Every attempt was met with failure, until the field ran out of juice. It went down as quick as it came, causing the Queen to fall on her chest from overreaching. Link changed out Nayru's Love for Din's Fire, making a dome of fire extend out from him. The Changeling was unable to escape the rapidly extending dome of fire and got badly burnt from it.

Her wings were burnt along with patches of her exoskeleton, showing soft skin underneath.

If I can get close, I can attack at the skin.

With another battle plan, Link went on the offensive. Chrysalis was struggling to keep up with the quick moving Hylian, and took massive damage from the attacks that hit her.

Left with only one last resort, Chrysalis charged all of her magic into one massive shockwave, hoping to push Link away. Some of the magic was absorbed into the shield, the rest overcharged the pendant Link was wearing, forcing him back.

Unfortunately for Chrysalis, the amount of magic she used through her crippled horn practically destroyed it.

In a cry of pain, Chrysalis fell down onto one knee, giving a bowing appearance. Link moved towards the Changeling, slowly and threateningly. After 30 seconds, which felt like 30 hours to Chrysalis, Link stopped in front of her.

He knelt down and said to her;

"Do you surrender?"

The Changeling Queen laughed at him through her ragged breaths.

"Fool... Do... You... Think... I... Would... Surrender...?"

"Then maybe I should show you why you should."

Link stood back up and levelled his shield at her. When Chrysalis made eye contact with the reflective surface in front of her, it started glowing with an ominous green.

The glow started appearing more frequently and glowing brighter and brighter. Chrysalis's eyes widened in realization of what was happening. Soon enough, Link braced himself and sent the gathered magical burst straight towards the Changeling Queen before him. It hit her head on and a scream of pain could be heard.

Chrysalis's breathing grew more ragged and pained.

"How about now?" Link asked.

"No..."

"Well then."

Link grabbed her left foreleg in his free hand and proceeded to...

...Smash her around the place.

Link flung her into walls, brought her down on the ground, threw her into the roof, smashed windows with her body and anything else that came into mind. Being slammed into the ground did wonders to people's endurance, especially when you're being slammed from someone wearing the golden gauntlets.

During all this, Link yelled at the Changeling.

"NOW DO YOU SURRENDER?! IT'S EASY TO JUST SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS! JUST SAY 'I surrender' AND WE WOULD BE DONE ALREADY! IT'S POINTLESS TO KEEP GOING. SAY IT! SAY IT!!!! SAY IT!!!!!!!!!!"

Finally, Link ceased his efforts and dropped the Changeling on the ground.

"Now, I'll only ask once more. Do you surrender?"

"Never."

"Very well."

Link drew his sword once more and readied it at the Queen. He slashed across her face from left to right, then again in the opposite direction before finally pulling his arm back and thrusting his sword in between Chrysalis's eyes. A strangled cry left Chrysalis's mouth before she fell limp, her body no longer able to support her.

Link withdrew his sword and sheathed it. A bright light came from Chrysalis's body as she disintegrated before everyone. In her place was a floating heart in a canister. Link walked forward and picked it up, revitalising himself and increasing his strength and endurance.

He turned to face his audience, who were staring at him slack-jawed.

"Now what?" He asked them.

The white unicorn and yellow pegasus fainted from the shock of it all and the others broke out of their trance at the sound of their bodies hitting the floor. They all looked back at Link.

"What? Was it something I said?"

*Mass facehoof*

Author's Note:

2nd epic fight scene complete! My favourite part of this chapter was easily the troll moment with Nayru's Love. This was my thought process at that point.

'Nayru's Love forms a barrier. I want Link to have a troll moment in this chapter. *Lightbulb* I'll combine the two somehow.'

That might not be the exact thought process but close enough. Hope you all enjoyed and Merry Christmas.

Until Next Time.

The brutality of link trying to get Chrysalis to surrender strikes me as very OOc for Link.While always portrayed as a skilled warrior he was never shown as being that vicious. Try reading the manga to get a better picture of his character. Also is this after or before Majoras Mask? if after then you could just use the fierce deity mask beacuse one does not get called the fierce god without good reason and would better justify his actions in that beat down. Also this means you could use the age up later. has potential but need some work.

6771327 It may only really seem out of character because of how the game designers actually designed Link to become an extension of the players personality so that it wasn't just a story about Hyrule and Link saving it but really the player is saving the land from Evil

7059506 Depending on how you look at it punching has to do with pressure and I didn't see that episode till after I made the post

[legendryhero126]

Yay Ocarina of Time me.

6771327 I have to agree with the whole fierce deity mask thing unless this happens in his fan made split where link never set foot in termina and this adventure is what happen instead plus (and I really do think this.) he just might be going by the games only where Link is just an blank slate.

6828157 So true and that why I can enjoy these zelda mlp crossovers despite link seeming out of character.
