Title: 'For Heroes To Fail'
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda
Characters: Ganondorf, Link
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Notes: Inspired by this fanart.
Summary: You fought well.


The would-be savior of Hyrule is looking rather rough around the edges, now that he's been subdued. Bound and helpless, bearing the scars and bruises from all that he's endured, the youth does not cut the fine figure that he might.

Even beaten down, though, he still glares in silent defiance as Ganondorf regards him.

"You were a challenge," Ganondorf informs the boy, holding in a mild, triumphant smirk. "You fought well. Let no one say of you that you were a coward. You merely...wasted your energies. It's natural for kingdoms to fall. And for heroes to fail."
