A/N: Ganondorf was way to much fun to write.

Hyrule's Princess is forced to kneel when she is brought into Ganondorf's presence. He rests his cheek on his fist and smirks at the princess. “I thank you for caring for my castle, Princess.”

Zelda says nothing. Her face remains stoic and her eyes determinedly fixed one Ganondorf's face. He waves a hand at the guard, “Release her binds and then you are dismissed.”

Once they are alone, Ganondorf stands directly in front of Zelda. He leans forward, his cold dark eyes studying her features. “You resemble her a great deal,” he says, her hand brushing against her cheek. Zelda turns from and clenches her fists as his fingers trail along her arm. He lifts her hand and his mouth curls into a smirk as the Triforce symbol shines radiantly from her hand. “Do you know who I am, Princess?” he asks after a brief silence.

Zelda squares her shoulders and looks up at him as his towering frame circles her. “I do.” she says firmly.

“You seem confident in your knowledge. Enlighten me.”

“Ganondorf – The king of The ancient Gerudo Tribe. His plan to gain the Triforce thwarted by two children, no more than ten years of age.” She casts her gaze up his torso, blue eyes lingering at the wound on his chest before finally reaching his eyes with her own. She firms her stance. “Am I correct?”

Ganondorf's face darkens before he turns back to Zelda and smirks. “Not thwarted. They merely delayed the inevitable.”

Zelda inhales sharply as Ganondorf continues to speak with that wicked smirk gracing his features. “As I still remain. And where are your precious heroes? Long dead and gone.”

A servant announces that dinner will be served shortly. “You may join me, if you so desire.”

“I would rather not.”

“Very well. You will not eat, however.” He smirks at her expression before turning back to the servant. “Prepare a place for our dear Princess Zelda. She will be joining me,” he turns to look at her, “Won't you, my dear?”

“If I refuse?”

“That was not a request. Now, I do not abide tardiness. So I do hope you are prompt.” Ganondorf turns and with a swift swish of his cape, he thunders down the corridor to the dinning room.

Zelda finds the smell from the dinning room not altogether unpleasant. And Ganondorf's company was not...terrible. He had been quite gentlemanly. And yet an uneasy feeling manages to settle on her shoulders. Ganondorf simply did not strike her as the type to dine with the enemy.

He sweeps his cape and takes the chair Zelda's father once occupied long ago. “Please, Zelda, have a seat.” He motions to the chair to his right. She sits and once again looks surprised when he orders that she be served first. “You look surprised, Princess. My hospitality is not to your satisfaction?”

Zelda shakes her head, “I am your prisoner...why...”

He raises his hand to silence her. “There is no excuse for unnecessary barbaric behavior. Now please. Eat. We will have more guests arriving shortly.”

Her fingers clenches her fork tightly. She has an idea who these other “guests” are.

“Do you think him some kind of reincarnation?” He asks and smiles politely as she raises her head to level him with a stare. “I do hate to crush the life out of him then.”

Zelda purses her lips and her gaze returns to her plate. And it appears that he is not the gentleman she had almost thought he was. How foolish it was of her to even think otherwise. Their meal carries on in silence until Ganondorf's commanding voice cuts through the air like the thick blade of the sword he wields. “You are displeased with me.”

“And whatever gave you that idea?”

“You are silent. You have not once thanked me for being hospitable with you. I could have locked you in the dungeon and left you there to rot. I have no further use for you beyond the Triforce of Wisdom. So I would think you would at least express some sort of gratitude as I tried to remain civil in your regard.”

Zelda tightens her mouth before forcing a smile. This earns a chuckle from Ganondorf as he folds his napkin. “There is no need to look so artificial, Princess. It certainly isn't as bad as all that, is it?” He turns his head to receive a whispered message from a servant before he smirks at Zelda. “Our guests will be arriving shortly. We must prepare.” He stands and offers Zelda his hand.

She folds her hands in her lap and refuses to budge before his next statement catches her attention. “Could you imagine how powerful we would be if we were to align ourselves? If you were to become my queen?”

Zelda stands, her face fixed into a determined expression. “I would not grant you the privileged. You will not take my kingdom.”

“I have no need to take your kingdom. You have already given it to me.” His hand remains offered to her and his smirk grows. “Now come. Let us embrace our destiny.”

Cool..a GanonxZelda fanfic. Very well written Sammi. BTW..what happened to Link?? Did Ganon already kill him?

No. This is set while Link and Midna are in the castle, climbing up to meet Ganondorf. I thought that was kinda clear. Guess not :/

Thats cool...I just wonder what Link and Midna's reaction is going to be when they see Ganon and Zelda possibly embracing their destiny of evil.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading :3

Sure no problem..I'm impressed with your word descriptions, adjectives, verbs, nouns ect ect. I have an idea for a GanonxZelda fanfic myself based on OOT. I'll give you a synopsis/summary just between me and you.

Ganon kills Link in the final battle and Zelda reluctantly is forced to marry him after Links tragic death.

Link is lying on his back bloodied and beaten and he has his head turned towards Zelda who is standing worriedly at a distance as Link looks at her with an expression of wide eyed horror. Sort of in a way that he is hopelessly looking to her for help in his dire situation but all Zelda can do is stand there with her hands clasped unable to help him.

Ganon in his demon form then looms over Link getting ready for the death blow. Link then turns to look at Ganon looming above him with that same terrorfied expression on his face and then Ganon delivers the final death blow in impaling his torso. Link gives off a final AAWWK!! death cry sound, Zelda screams, and Ganon pulls his large trident from Links now lifeless body lying there motionless with his eyes still wide open in an expression of terrorfied horror and agony.

Ganon morphs back into his human form and picks up Links lifeless body and takes it over to Zelda who is now sobbing loudly. He holds up Links dead body with one hand and his triforce of power with the other to unite the TOP with the TOC and then disrespectfully throws Links dead body at Zelda's feet. Then he says something like:

"How could you ever hope that this useless boy could possibly defeat me. Now Zelda, we shall be as one hahaha" As Zelda continues to sob, Ganon picks up Links dead body again and then tosses it into the lava pit below. Then he turns to Zelda and offers his hand to her in which she reluctantly puts her own hand in his still mourning over Links recent demise and then Ganon says. "Now we are together as one my Queen and together we shall rule Hyrule with an iron fist of terror hahahaha." THE END.

Please do not PM this to Gilderpilot, Love of Zelda, Angel Zelda, Twilight Mistress or any other Zelinker OK?

Umm...okay...?

Saami, I liked this different take on things - but who are the guests that Ganondorf is awaiting? I think that it would be interesting if that particular plotline was developed further.

I would happily read more if you decided to put up more besides the one-shot.

Thanks for reading. I'm glad you enjoyed it

The guests Ganondorf was referring to was Link and Midna. The fic is set when they are climbing up the castle for the final fight. This is what went on before they arrived. And I've considered a sequel of sorts. I just haven't sat down to organize it since I have two more fics due this month.

Ah, gotcha. Well then, I await your next installment. :-)
