People wonder what he fights for, but I know very well. He fights for all of us to have a future, he has no fear of what might happen to himself. The courage in his heart keeps him going no matter the damage his body sustains. It's why I chose him to be our hero. -my hero- I knew I doomed him when I asked this of him, he will never stop until every shred of darkness is scrubbed from this land, and even then, what of other lands? Could he stop knowing the darkness could be hiding somewhere out there?
Link is a hero, there is no doubt about that, but sometimes I wonder if that's a good thing. He is there for everyone, but he has no one there for him, no one to tend his wounds or watch his back. A Princess cannot leave her people, even to aid a Hero, why should it be that I, the one who brought this upon him, not suffer with him?

The boy does not stop. At first I had merely passed him off as a child playing hero, little did I know he would become the only thing that I fear. It sickens me to admit. I, Ganondorf, King of Darkness, have been bowed low by a boy. How could this be? But the answer is simple, he does not stop. Even when his bones are shattered he picks his broken body up and keeps fighting, he has defeated every challenge placed in front of him through sheer courage and force of will, with no formal training of any kind he turns ancient traps and deadly puzzles into child's play, and slaughters the most powerful of behemoths.
But I know his one weakness, he loves and I can exploit this. Holding a certain Princess in my grasp will make breaking the boy all too easy.

I won't stop. I can't stop until everyone is safe. Ganondorf is just a fallen tree in my path to save Zelda and Hyrule. I brush off the aches in my legs as I walk, the burning from my cracked ribs as I breath, the dizziness in my head as I look up at the looming castle where my journey will finally have an ending.
Zelda waits for me, and I wouldn't want to disappoint her.
