The way i think that Zelda: The Ocarina of Time should end is that after defeating Pig Ganon, Ganon should morph back into his original human state. Zelda then uses her powers of sagery to send his spirit (not his body) to the Sacred Realm. Then, in graphic detail (and upgrading the game to an higher rating) Link uses the Master Sword to chop of Ganon's cold lifeless hand and fish around in it for the Triforce of Power. Once he finds it, he tosses the remaining shreds of Ganon's hand away and walks over to Zelda. Their proximity causes the Triforces to come out of their hand, and reunite in front of them. Rauru appears in front of them, congratulating them and telling Link that he may have one wish from the triforce. Link wishes for Hyrule to return to normal, the way it was before Ganon's reign of terror. The triforce glows brightly and the screen turns white.

The Great Fairies fly over every place in Hyrule, restoring it to the way it was when you were a kid. Finally, All the Fairies fly to Ganon's Ruined Fortress, they start flying really fast in circles over it, until a bright multicoloured light appears over it. The light lands on the remains of the fortress, and the flying island falls in to the lava pit beneath it. Then, by Link's side, all of the sages appear. "This was a place of great evil," says Rauru, "It will take all of our power to purge it from the land." With that, all of the sages raise their arms, and a ball of energy (of their respective colours) appears. When they grow large enough, flashes of energy, like lasers begin shooting from them. The camera pans back, and we see that the desolate place is gradually being turned back into Hyrule castle. When its done, the screen goes white again.

When we can see again, Link, Zelda and the Sages are in Zelda's Courtyard. Link looks down at his hand, and sees that the mark of the Triforce is still there. Zelda realizes that she still has hers on her hand too. When asking Rauru what this means, he says: "Ganon is not gone, and his spirit may never be wholly destroyed. For now, though, he weak and without a body, merely a spirit with no power over the physical world. But should he ever gain a new form, and find the Triforce again, this mark will appear on your desendants hands as well. Ganon being an entity of pure evil, the Triforce will surely separate into it's three separate pieces. The crests of the Triforce will be a warning that Ganon has returned, and that the Legendary Hero of Time must preform his sacred duties once again." With that, they turn to leave. But first, Link runs into the castle, rips down the portraits of Mario, Bowser and Yoshi, and uses his Megaton Hammer to pounds them into dust. He then takes out a bomb, and blows up the tattered remenants of the unholy things. "Oh thank you!" Says Zelda, "You have no idea how much I've hated those things!" Then, they all leave.

Outside Hyrule Castle, a huge crowd (consisting of everyone featured in the game, including Biggoron towering at the back.) The drawbridge of the Castle lowers, and Zelda, Link and the Sages step out. A huge cheer erupts from the crowd, with fireworks going off in the background. The sun sets, and the party at Lon Lon Ranch begins, with a few variations from the original. Now, there is a live band, featuring Link Jr. (the goron) playing Ironknuckle Armor as drums, Zelda on Harp, Link on Ocarina, and Talon on Banjo. They play a rousing rendition of the original Overworld theme, we see everyone partying like in the original version...only doing more stuff, like a giant mosh pit...and everyone getting drunk on Lon Lon milk. Also, when the band takes a break, you can control Link again. you can go around, talk to people, save, etc.

The camera then goes to hyrule field, where we see the proprietor of the Ghost Shop sulking in the darkness, with the sounds of partying going on in the background. "Aw great!" he says, "now I'm out of a job! What am I supposed to do now, with all this disgusting "peace"? ARRGGH!!" All of a sudden, a horde of Skeletons emerge from the ground around him, and drag him screaming down into the ground.

Later, standing by the tree outside Lon Lon Ranch, Link and Zelda are talking. Zelda offers him the choice of either staying here, or returning to his original time. "Of course, if you do return to your original time, you must leave Hyrule forever. Since you now know what will take place, and the fact that there would then be two of you, you must leave to prevent a alteration of the timeline." Link chooses to go back, (this is just to make it complaint with Gaiden, actually only an idiot would go back.) and Zelda plays the Song of Time and link is transported back to his original time. The scene where Navi exits through the window would be the same. We see Link walk out of the drawbridge and onto hyrule field. The last scene we see is Link walking toward the horizon, into the sunset. We see Link disappear over the horizon, and the sun sets and night begins. The credits scroll up the screen as the camera zooms out, giving us a full shot of Hyrule field...fade to black.

Since I'm a girl, and adore videogames, (I even run a site devoted to that particular subject) I would of rather had a more romantic ending. When Link handed the Ocarina over to Zelda, I was practically screaming, KISS HER! KISS HER! Alas! it never happened. So this is how I would of re-ended the ending...

Well first of all I would of had Ganon still keep the Triforce of Power, it WAS kinda interesting. Then, instead of a magical trip through the clouds, Link and Zelda would be standing Temple of Time. She would go on and say all the same stuff about Ganon and blah and blah. But, she wouldn't send you back in time. Instead, you would go about your merry ways, riding Epona across the Field. Then, all the credits zoom all over Hyrule. Then the party at Lon Lon Ranch. I would of showed the Gerudo's more, I saw them like opnce in the scene. Then at the end, I would of shown Zelda and Link in the middle, getting hitched. All the sages would be there, including Rauru. Ahhhhh....satisfaction. It's not the most creative ending in the world, but I think...in fact I KNOW that most of the ladies would go for that!

The ending of Zelda 64 was surprisingly less than I expected. But when I think of it, Gaiden wasn't a decision made after Nintendo saw the astronomical sales of "Ocarina of Time". The ending was planned around the plans to make another one. Also the Scarcrow Song played in several different tones makes you think about what we've seen from the peeks at Gaiden. It is played on several different instruments. In Gaiden Link uses many instruments to transform.

But for the reason of writing. I think the ending would have been much better without Link turning back into a ten-year old. I think it would have been best if, at the end of the final fight, Ganon fell into the pit below the castle and was sucked into the middle of the lava (assumed dead untill 100 years later when he came back to steal the triforce again). Then there would be several shots of people and animals comeing out. It would go something in the way of, the castle zomies collapsing to the ground, Children danceing in the Kakariko village square, Talon and Ingo getting on horses and riding to the castle, the zoras swimming in the now melted water, the Kokiri playing in the forest, then it would cut to Mido leaving the forest (presumably to found the village named after him). Then it would show Gerudo valley. The Gerudos would be celebrating. There would be a shot of Zelda presiding as all the citizens of Hyrule are rebuilding the castle. Then the screen would go dark, and it would cut to Ganondorf stewing in the darkness. He cursed the Hylians, especially Zelda and Link. Then there would be a shot of a sinister character, maybe the gatehouse ghost collecter, or maybe a whole new character stealing some new artifact. In the end Link goes chaseing after them. He persues them north. This in turn leads to the second game.

In the sequal it would still be possible to stay in the original Hyrule, but Link would have to chase him through out the countryside stopping at new villages, seaports, crossroads, the capitals of other nations. He would, of course meet new people. The character would turn out to be more powerful than a simple burgler and it would become a epic of a game.

Well as i would see it...this would not be the ending of the game at all...there would be still one more temple to beat...The Light Temple. Right after you beat Piggy Ganon you will be takin there (to the light Temple) bye Princess Zelda. But this temple would be a little different then the other Temples. Instead of having to use one main weapon in the temple (say...your main weapon in the Forest Temple is the Bow and Arrow)you would have to use a combination of all of them...Including the ice arrows(so now you HAVE to beat the gerudo training grounds) And every other weapon link is capabale of useing. This temple will also be different because there will be 5 mini bosses. The Bosses from the temples of forest, fire, water, spirit, and shadow. They will all be exactly the same.....but they will be each a little stronger. And then once agin you fight Ganon and Piggy Ganon. But this time they have different and more powerful attacks...and they are alot more stronger. Then you go to the the real ending sequence. You will meet up w/ Zelda..get the whole triforce...and Hyrule will be back to normal..like it was when link was a kid. And I would make it so that you COULD save it when you beat the game. Bye the way...Great site!!!!!!!!! i can't say the enough!..Thanx for putting so much time into this!!!

My changes in the ending would start way back to the part where Link is in the temple of time and Ganondorf's booming voice says something to the effect of "I let you get this far..." That would be ommitted, it spoiled the feel of the game. Everything else up to ganon's ballroom door can stay in the game except the rainbow path to Ganon's castle, that was kinda gay looking. I guess I'll let that slide though. Ganondorf playing the piano was totally cool and I would not have changed that, however after he turned around and said his lines this is what should have happened:

Ganondorf unsheathes a large glowing sword with which he challenges Link to what proves to be the most difficult fencing match in the game (alla Prince of Persia if you ever played that game). It is a truely well met match in which Link is forced to (at length, and with great difficulty) swipe, slice and stab each of Ganondorf's 20 green hearts away before he is bested by his desert adversary. After Ganondorf looses in a match closely met with Link the castle falls down as usual and the entire final fight sequence occurs as it does in the game. GANON is then banished away as he was before.

Next comes the credits sequence: Link walks with Zelda to the temple of time as the credits roll, as they walk they look unhappily at the destroyed city around them. They enter the temple and together return the master sword to the pedestal causing them both to return to their child hoods. Just before the blue light goes rushing up Zelda gives Link a peck on the cheek. As he looks up surprised at her, she turns away bashfully...Whoosh! They are back in the past. Zelda now a little girl again runs out blushing. Softly (credits still rolling) the "Classic Zelda" music begins to play. It builds as Link begins to walk out of the Temple of time; droping his weapons and jewelry that he has gathered along the way. As he passes through the market the music grows more intense. He walks up to the castle gate where Impa stands to greet him: "Welcome brave one," she says, "I have met a man who claims to have known your mother. In fact, he is your uncle. He wishes to meet with you and take you in at his home just east of Kakariko Village." She marks your map and you pass through the gate. (Seen fades out.) The music is now changes to that of the sacred realm, where we see Ganon trapped in Pig form screaming his vengance, and how he will once again be made free. (Fades back) We see Link approaching Zelda in the courtyard once again (Complete silence) where she is spying through the window as before...only this time it is not Ganondorf kneeling before the King, but rather the Wizard Aganimh, swearing his allegiance to the Hylians. Zelda looks to Link worried and says, "I fear I will be needing your help again..." The Classic music starts playing again as Dark clouds begin to move over the castle. The Ending scene is of young Link staring into the sky worried, yet courageous of his adventures to come...

All stays the same in till right after Ganondorf's dialog at the organ. Then Ganon draws a sword, moves toward you and a fight ensues without removing all of the room scenery like in the actual game. It is a sword fight but with occasion magic attacks from Ganon (which can still be reflected but move at great speeds). When Ganon is defeated the castle still callapses and you still battle the pig form of Ganon. It again stay's the same Ganon and the Triforce of Power are trapped in the sacred ream.

This is where it really differs, Link and Zelda walk out into the market ruins. Zelda expresses her feelings of guilt and regret about causing all the destruction and carnage. She then takes Link's hand with hers, both are the hands with the triforce symbol. She brings her hand along with Link's up above there heads were they faintly began to glow. Everything fades out to white and reappears as it was when Link was young (yet this is still the same time period). The same then happens with Gannon's castle rubble. It then cuts to Kakariko Village were the man in blue who usually stand under the tree in the village runs in to the village and tells the other guy of the reconstruction of the market he says yea right but follows him anyway. Then back at the market you see not only those guys but all the former residents of the market come on to the scene. Then it goes to Lon Lon ranch for a party with Link talking to Malon and Zelda wearing crown. The sages land on death mountain and watch the sun rise. It then fades out to see Link thusting the Master sword into the pedistull of time (without sending him back in time) and asks if you'd like to save.

Saving it allows you to play after end of the game. There is nothing left to do, maybe you should still be able to look for gold skultula's, the last few heart pieces, or big poes but mostly to talk to they people with new dialog and to bask in your triumph.

I think the Zelda 64 ending should be like this: Before Ganon is sent to the Sacred Realm, Zelda extracts the Triforce Of Power from him. He is then sent into the Sacred Realm. Link and Zelda walk up to the Triforce of Power, and their Trifroces come out. Zelda looks at Link and says make a wish. Link wishes for The Castle and market to be restored. A golden beam of light shoots out from the triforce, and then covers the area where the castle used to be and the ruined market. The market and the people who were turned into ReDeads return to normal, but the poe buyer stays the same. Then then the land where Ganon's Castle was lands in the lava. The Castle is then restored. Zelda turns to Link and asks if he will marry her. Link says yes, and the screen fades out. Link and Zelda are standing in front of the altar in the Temple Of Time, and Rauru is marrying them, and making them take marriage vows from The Book of Mudora, which he wrote. Mido is Link's best man, and Impa, Malon, and Saria are Zelda's bride's mades. Everyone else in Hyrule(except the poe man) are in pews that have been set up. Rauru says you may now kiss the bride, Hero of Time, and Link and Zelda kiss. Link becomes the new King, and Zelda becomes Queen. The screen then fades, and we see the poe man in his shop. He yells, "Curse you Link. You will never be able to defeat I or my master, Ganondorf, ever! Feel the wrath of Agahnim!" But before the poe man(who turns out to be Agahnim) can cast the spell, a portal opens below him and sucks him into the Sacred Realm. Then the screen fades, and gives a view of all of Hyrule. The goddesses fly over the land, and spell out The End in red, green, and blue.

After Link gives the final blow to the Pig Ganon, Ganon loses the Triforce of Power. He is then sealed away in the Sacred Realm. The Triforces of Courage and Wisdom shoot out of Zelda and Link. The Triforce comes together and the voices of Din Farore and Nayru float out of the Triforce. They thank Link for restoring peace to the world they had created, and as a reward change Hyrule back. The Triforce then returns to the Sacred Realm. Next we see that part with Zelda and Link talking, only it's some place we know (Temple of Time etc.) and Link keeps the Ocarina of Time (reward from Zelda). Before the credits, we see that party at Lon Lon Ranch. Only this time, Link and Zelda are at the party (as adults). Mido will apologize to Link for being so mean and for blaming Link about the little Deku Tree incident. After a few more minuets of dancing, Zelda and Link move off to the the side. Zelda thanks Link for everything, followed by a nice kiss as multi-coloured fire-works go off behind them. Link and Zelda remain in the same place, only the outfits and background change to a wedding in the middle of Hyrule field. The camera pans slowly up to the sky, where Navi is. She flies around the screen, her pixie dust forming the words 'The End'. Navi then flies into the screen. The screen goes black and the credits roll like the credits in a movie while playing the songs of various places, dungeons and the ocarina songs like the Ice Cavern, Gerudo Valley and (as always) Zelda's Lullaby. Once you go back to playing the game, there will be a new door somewhere in the Temple of Time (like the Door of Time). When you play the Song of Time in front of it, it will open to a small hallway where you have to kill a Stalfos. After killing the Stalfos, a door will appear on the other side of the room. This door will lead to the Light Temple. There will be six different sections to the Light Temple (forest, fire, water, shadow and spirit). The final boss would be a mix of all the other bosses. After beating the final boss, you can go into the next room where you find the Triforce. That's my ending. It's pretty long, but I hope you like it. See 'ya!

blood siblings: Link would make a cut in his hand and Zelda would make a cut in her hand. They would then stick their bleeding hands together, allowing each others blood to flow into the other person. it would then leave Zelda with some of Link's blood in her, and Link with some of Zelda's blood in him.

The game proceeds until after the fight with Ganon, second form. After you beat him, Zelda raises her hands. In the Sacred Realm, you see the Sages raise their hands. Seven laser-like lights collide and form a multi-colored ball. The ball hits Ganon. A huge flash follows, and the screen goes white. You see Ganon, screaming against a black background. A bar of Red, Blue, and Green light circles around him. The screen returns to Ganon's Castle. Link raises the Medallions. They send huge streaks of light at the ruins of Ganon's Castle. The light hits, and the ruins explode. The Great Faires shoot out into the sky. The camera warps to different parts of Hyrule. In Kakairko, the rain in the graveyard stops. In the Market, the Redeads stagger and fall, and the buildings rebuild instantly. In Lake Hylia, the Scarecrows move about. In Zora's Domain, the ice melts. In Gerudo valley, the fortress becomes pristine white, and a new flag flies from the top. In Kokiri forest, the Deku Tree sprout grows to full height, and the Moblins vanish from the Lost Woods. The camera returns to Ganon's Castle. Link tosses the Medillons to the ground. They begin to glow, and circle rapidly around the area. Hyrule caste is restored. The party is the same at Lon Lon ranch. But now, the Gerudo's are playing flutes, while the Goron's bang on drums, and Biggoron bangs on Bongo-Bongo's drum. The Sages each stand in their own rooms, and the credits begin to roll. Link walks to the Temple of Time. He thrusts the sword back. He is a kid again, yet all the changes in Hyrule(i.e. the Gerudo's Fortress now white and the Sprout at full height) remain. You see Zelda in the courtyard, eating something, and smiling. Link returns to the Kokiri forest, and Mido apolgizes and Link is now head of the Kokiri. You see Impa watching him, she vanishs just as Link turns around. In the last screen, you see Ganon. The Triforce mark on his hand is pulsing....the screen fades to black.

As we all know, the ending to Ocarina of Time really sucked; but the game was good, and I'm keeping everything the same up until we see Gannon playing the organ. Link walks into the room were Zelda is trapped in the pink rupee thing, and sees Zelda staring down at Navi because she's flying around the room making an annoying buzzing noise.Gannon messes up on a note and screams DOH (very Homer Simpson like), and stares at Navi, annoyed.Finally Link get's really agrivated with Navi, and chops her in half.Then Gannon turns back to the organ and starts to play. Link,confused, charges at Gannon. Gannon turns around and quickly says"These toys are to much for you!!" and the purple "Waves of Darkness" thingies come out of his hand, freezing Link, giving Gannon enough time to get ready to fight. You fight Gannon almost the same way, but he flies right in front of Zelda, and if you hit her with a Light Arrow you have to start the game all over. After that you have to run out of the castle with Zelda the exact same way, only you have 2 1/2 seconds to do it.When (if heh heh heh) you get out of the castle you have to fight Pig Gannon again, only you can't use any of your weapons. You have to run around in circles and get Pig Gannon really tired. If your to slow he'll eat you. After that you have to fight the damn ghost who keeps bringing Gannon to life. If you don't beat him the first time you have to beat Gannon (Gannon, then pig, then ghost) 9,999,999 times to complete the game. The ghost is made of fart so you have chase him into the fire so he'll blow up. Now Gannon's never to return to Hyrule. Then the Triforce of Power comes out of the Gannon ashes, and Zelda and Link's Triforce comes out of their hands and joins the Triforce of Power. Then Zelda and Link get ready to run, because they want the Triforce to themselves. The camra move slowly sideways showing first Link, then Zelda, and that famous western tune plays ( dooo dooooo dooo, dooo dooooo dooo) then they dash towards the Triforce, and Link got it. Rathe loudly the Tiforce says "Yaaaa, whad'ya want!?" then Link says "I wish for unlimited wishes!" then the Triforce says "Yaaaaa comein' right up" *Special efect* blinding white light covers the whole screen. Then Link and Zelda are at Lon Lon Ranch partying hard, and getting drunk. *This is when you can save* after that Zelda asks you if you want to go back to your child hood. If you pick yes you get to play the game all over again. If you pick no you have six more (long) adventures (including Zelda and Link getting hitched!).

At the end of the game when you beat human ganon, instead of running down the castle, you have to use a series of falling and grabbing on to ledges(due to the door getttin covered with ruble). you get to an open door and run down you don't waste any time getting out because the castle is collapsing already when you get near the end.

When you get out the castle is gone in seconds you and zelda go back to the temple of time you put back the master sword and you and zelda return to kids when you get back a dark figure comes through the door you and zelda now kids back away. The figure is Ganon! He runs at you you turn and grab the master sword all of you are travel to the future.

The warp has evil in it and you get transported to the sage room fight in the sage room. After you beat him as human again he changes to all the bosses and to beat him you have to stand on the medallion of that dungeon and shoot him withh a light arrow 3 times and then his origanal weakness.

After this you fight pig gannon you defeat him like normal. His body starts to turn blue after the second last hit. He collapses and you chop his hand off taking his triforce. The triforces are joined together and you are granted one wish. It is to bring hyrule back to normal. Gannon gets up bledding(man he just wont stop will he) and Link and Zelda have their backs turned he brings up his hand with the sword and brings it down. But before Link is hit an arrow goes through his hand Link hears him roar and turns striking him down for good.

The arrow had a note on it that said: From your gaurdian sheik.

Zelda was standing there so who is this Sheik? Another arrow hits and the note on it says you will meet me some day Link my son.

hmm... Even though I enjoy the emotional cinematics, it probably IS better that Link and Zelda didn't end up jumping all over each other in the ending movie. 1.- It kinda ruins the whole feel of the game. Zelda resting her delicate hands on Link's strong ones while looking as though she would break down in tears was rather touching, and I feel it was much better suited for the ending. 2.- Most people forget that, although Link has a body around 17 years old, he still has a ten year old mind. Nasty. 3.- If some 9-year old girl were playing and named Link 'Emily' or 'Jessica' or something like that, (I know it's stupid, I and everyone I know always titles their files 'Link', it's just an example.) It would be rather embarrasing when he/she would be making out with Zelda in the ending credits. Alright, Ganon even surprised ME when I beat him in about ten minutes. It was like: target, fire, slash, retreat, repeat. It disappointed me. as for the Mini Medallion dungeons-they were a big_fat_joke. Also, in the collapsing tower bit, it takes even the most easily distracted person half the time they give you to get out. I was expecting to escape mere seconds before the whole thing caved in! Zelda squealed like a guinea pig whenever you were hit; and when you actually WERE hit, (Ganon was WAY too slow) it only took away about 3/4 of a heart. The force field surrounding the platform caused me more damage than he did! The ending- The ending was rather disappointing. the glory of the game, through, over and done- so you could watch the Gerudos doing the can can. While the game itself gave off a rich, thick feeling that wrapped around my brain like tendrils and held me there, poised with the controller in my hand and my eyes locked on the screen, hardly daring to blink for fear I may miss something, the dancing bit was just annoying. Simply annoying. I know some people liked it, (If it was you, I sincerely apologize and beg for mercy: You are the God of all gamerz.) I liked The Fonz's idea (On the 'Your Endings' section of the site) of Link chopping off Ganon's dead hand and ripping it apart to reunite the Triforce and restore Hyrule. However, I know from experience that it's better to be able to endure the boss again than nothing at all, as was the case in Banjo-Kazooie. After defeating the witch, (Who was actually about 12 times as hard as Ganon) you can save, but then all you can do in that file is wander around, lament on how you can do absolutely nothing and look for glitches. Also, people continuously write complaints that there isn't enough medieval language use in Zelda besides the Deku Tree- It's actually better there isn't. It would be too hard to understand for some people; I, for one, would be shaking my fist at the screen and shouting, "screw ye!"

I liked the ending up to the part were Zelda and Link are standing in the clouds. I would've had them standing in the middle of the ruins of Ganandorfs castle, shocked at what Ganandorf has just said, that as long as he has the triforce of power, he will come back and get their descendants.

Zelda asks Link if he thinks that Ganandorf can really do it, and Link tells her he doesn't know. He then comes close and kisses her, and the screen fades to black. when it returns, their is that party scene in Lon-Lon Ranch.

Everything stays the same their except for the Gerudos are seen more, and Mido joins in to dance with them. the screen then goes to the great fairy fountains, were the fairies awake, join together, and with a burst of light, return Hyrule to the way it normally should've been.

The last sequence in the game is of Zelda and Link sitting in the garden at Hyrule castle and Epona is trotting around in and out of the scene, with her colt. We see Link and Zelda talking to a little boy who looks like Link, telling him stories of how Link awoke the sages, and with Zelda's help, beat Ganandorf, the evil King.

The little boy jumps on Epona's colt, and rides into Hyrule field, where he sees a dark, looming figure, who beckons him to come closer, and as the boy does, he falls through a warp hole into another dimension.

Then "The End" comes on the screen, followed by the Disturbing, "Or is it"

I agree with you, I think the ending of Zelda was very depressing. I was looking forward to something more than just the credits and a dumb bonfire! Plus making Link give back the ocarina, what a Jerk! I think she should have atleast asked Link if he wanted to return to his original state. and what's with the clouds in the air! But, enough of what I thought went wrong, here's my ending.

Link beats Ganon, and Zelda suddenley vanishes into thin air. Link looks around like he looked around in in the Shadow Temple when the boat floating in midair moves. He's stunned. Suddenley a mystical sound rings the air and a gigantic golden ship with a triforce symbol comes out of a roaring sea. The sky is a thick Midnight Blue and stars twinkle brightly. Waves splash aginst the ship as it makes it's way towards a distant island. Zelda is standing on the deck of the ship with her dress blowing in the wind.

The view flashes back to where Link's standing on Ganons tower. Ganon transforms back into Ganondorf (he's still not dead!) and makes a move towards Link. He just barely grasps Link's tunic when a wave drowns him. Before it drowns Link a multi colored string of light reaches him. All of the sages except for Zelda and Rauru are tugging on the string with all their might. A white light fills the screen and then we can see Link floating on a cloud. Link is still knocked out from the fall when Ganon pulled him down. The sages had turned into little balls of different colored light and were pulling Link to the ship.

When they arrive at the ship the sages have different colored glowing paddles. They go to row the boat and leave Link and Zelda alone. Link recovers. Zelda says sadly that she has something important which she must tell Link.

"We are traveling in the Sea of the Sages, Link. It is a place that you will not return, but there is another place you will not return. Take a look, Link." Link looks below the glowing paddles of the ship. He is looking straight into the Sacred Realm buried beneath the dephs of the Sea! He gasps, and Zelda nods slowly.

"It is the only way to trap Ganon in the Sacred Realm forever. He cannot escape, but the Sages belong there. Without that power source we are left no choice but to sacrifice one of us. There is an Eighth Sage Link, but this sage will only be unveiled by the sacrifice of another Sage. The eighth Sage will lead you to your destiny, whatever that might be, and so it is for the best."

Link looks around at the Sages as if to see one disappear at any moment. Sudenley Rauru comes bursting out of the water riding Jabu Jabu. "I shall leave you now, Link. Take care of Zelda, she is my daughter along with Risna, the eighth sage of glory." With a sudden splash he disappears beneath the waves into the Sacred Realm.

At that exact moment the owl comes flying towards the ship and swoops back to the Distant shore. From the owl a woman appears carrying Malon in her arms. She is running towards them from the island. The Sages disappear waving and Link and Zelda walk off the Ship together hand in hand.

The woman smiles. " I am sorry that I had to come in such a silly disguise, but I meant to help you on your quest. You have used my horse Epona very well Link. I believe you are worthy of my little Sister's hand in marriage." Zelda smiles and Eponas song can be heard ( being sung from Malon's mother Risna who is also the Eighth sage) as Zelda and Link run through Hyrule Field saying Hi to all their old friends. They then run up to Hyrule Castle, push the guards out of their way and meet in the courtyard where they first met. Everyone's at the ceremony. The Poe Trader's selling fresh bottled Poes and other refreshments and Malon throws Flowers and Deku nuts down the aisles. Then Risna speaks up.

"Do you, Princess Zelda take link to be your Hero of Time, and the New King of Hyrule taking our Fathers place?" Zelda says she does and they both kiss as pictures of Kokiri's running out of the Forest freely fill the screen.

Hi, After having read everyone's ending ideas, I felt like I wanted to submit my version. Here goes:
