Author's note: This story takes place after A Link Between Worlds (the 3ds game), so spoiler alert if you haven't heard about Hilda or Ravio yet! By the way, it's my first MLP/TLoZ crossover. The MLP characters will be humans in the story. Princess Zelda will be a warrior princess, too.

---

Zelda's P.O.V

I have been training in sword fighting and archery. I am becoming more of a warrior, and I have a lot of courage that is deep inside my heart. It can be seen by people sometimes, but men underestimate me because I'm a princess. Women believe that I'm courageous. I am seventeen, and I am going to become queen very soon.

If I'm going to be a queen, then I must fight for the title- and prove to the people that I can be capable. Ganondorf has broken free from the dark realm, and he's in the parallel kingdom. I surely hope that he doesn't plan to kill Hilda. He doesn't always stay away from my watchful glare, though. One night when he is walking across a wall to go through the crack, I pursued him until he went through the crack.

So, Link is taking up a job as a ranch hand. He wouldn't have much time to visit me, but I don't mind because I don't need men anyways. Now, as I walk through a crack in my office, I sense that somebody is in danger. I quickly enter the parallel castle called Lorule Castle, and then I rush towards one of the towers. Hilda is standing there, and she's standing close to the door that leads to the sacred realm.

"Ganondorf! Please do not destroy Lorule's Triforce! If you do, then Lorule will be in ruins once again!" Hilda shouted.

"You fool, allow me the right of passage so that I can claim your Triforce and Zelda's Triforce," Ganondorf replied.

"This door is a fake!"

"No, it's not! There could be something behind the door!"

"Well, you're wrong!"

"I'm not wrong."

"Ganondorf! Will you stop threatening Hilda?! She doesn't deserve to lose her kingdom," I told Ganondorf, "You will not succeed in stealing Hyrule's Triforce and stealing Lorule's Triforce!"

Ganondorf turns his attention to me. "Why isn't your boyfriend with you, cowardly damsel in distress?!" He remarked.

"He's not my boyfriend! And I'm not a damsel in distress! I try to protect Hyrule," I retorted as I feel my anger escalate. I give him the finger, and Ganondorf chuckles.

"Ooh, very fiesty! Well, you're not going to stop me, royal girls!" Ganondorf said as he creates a vortex that is sucking Hilda in. Ganondorf seems to enter the vortex, too.

I rush to Hilda to save her from Ganondorf's vile clutches, but as we fall through the vortex, Hilda looks at me. "Zelda, I must admit something... You must stop Ganondorf! Also, I think we are going to enter another world..." She said as her eyes close.

My mind blacks out, and suddenly I feel nothing. The world darkens around me, and the last thing I remember hearing is the rest of Hilda's message. "I'm too weak to stop him," Her voice said as it becomes distant. She sounds a bit worried and also a bit scared. Usually, she's brave. But, even the bravest ones get scared.

In Equestria, the two princesses wake up in different places- Zelda in the town's hospital, and Hilda in the middle of the Everfree Forest...

---

Zelda's P.O.V

I wake up to find myself in a colorful room. "What?! Where am I?" I asked. Then I remember Hilda's words... So I think I'm going to be okay, right?

"You're in the hospital," A woman said as she smiles with kindness.

"What do you mean? What is a hospital, and what's with the weird clothing you guys wear?"

"A hospital is a place where people go to when they're sick or just need an appointment. And this kind of clothing is what nurses and doctors wear in this place."

"Okay, then. Where did you place my weapons?"

"Your sword, bow, and sheild?"

"Yes."

"I placed them on the chair, so you should know. I found you outside laying on the sidewalk, and I assumed that you passed out. Are you feeling better right now?"

"Of course. I'm fine, okay?"

I get up, and I start to walk out of this strange place. At least I'm still wearing my tunic. "You forgot the weapons," The woman said as she hands me the weapons.

"Okay, thanks," I replied coldly as I walk outside.

I look around, and there are those horseless carriages moving back and forth on the road. A teenage girl with curly purple hair grabs my arm and pulls me into a nearby building. "Are you from historical times, or are you a cosplay? Or do you like wearing outdated clothing?" She asked.

"Quit it. I'm not wearing 'outdated' clothing. It's just a tunic with a belt. I use weapons to fight monsters and villains, so you should know. What's with all the frilly dresses on the statues?" I replied.

"They're not statues, they're mannequins! I forgot to introduce myself. Sorry about that... My name is Rarity."

"Your name's Rarity? My name is Zelda, and I come from another world to find my friend Hilda. She might be taken by a villainous man, I assume."

"So you're on a quest to save a friend?"

"Yes. By the way, you remind me of Hilda with your purple hair- except that you have blue eyes. Hilda has crimson eyes."

"Is Hilda good or not?"

"She's a good girl- she made the wrong choices long ago when she tried to save her own kingdom."

Rarity nods as I walk towards the door. Five more teenage girls enter this place, and they seem a bit interested in who I am. "Who are you? Are you the girl that fell from the sky?" The girl with hot pink hair asked.

"I'm the one that fell from the sky. My name's Zelda, and I'm from Hyrule. Are you all friends with Rarity?" I replied.

"Yes," Five of the girls said in unison.

"Okay. Tell me your names."

"My name's Pinkie Pie," The girl with hot pink hair said.

"My name's Apple Jack," The blond girl said.

"My name's Twilight," The girl with dark purple hair said. She also has highlights in her hair.

"My name's Rainbow Dash," The girl with rainbow hair said.

"My name's Fluttershy," The girl with pastel pink hair said. She seems a bit shy.

---

Hilda's P.O.V

My heart races a bit as I try to find a way out of the forest. Eerie noises echo through the forest, and I can even hear a distant growl. Be brave, and don't be daunted by whatever might jump out of the bushes, I remind myself.

I gather my courage to walk through the forest. I hold up my staff just in case a beast attempts to attack me. "Zelda? Where are you?" I called.

I hope she's okay, and not hurt. I finally notice a house in the distance. I wonder who lives there. I approach the house, and in there is a dark skinned woman. She is mixing something in the cauldron. Is she a witch or something? I open the door, my heart racing a bit more even though I try to seem brave.

"Who are you? I've never seen you before. Are you from another world or someplace like that?" The woman asked, "By the way, call me Zecora. What's your name?"

"My name's Hilda. Do you know a way out of the forest?" I replied.

"Yes. I'll lead you out. Come with me."

She sounds a bit kind. Part of me wants to trust her, and the other part is telling me not to trust her. Most of the dark skinned people in Hyrule and Lorule aren't very trusted.

---

Hope you like the story- and don't complain about anybody being OOC. When you're in another world, having mixed emotions and being a bit confused would be your natural reaction. Any reviews/comments appreciated!

Hilda's P.O.V

As we walk out of the forest, Zecora still stands near the entrance to the forest. "So, Zecora... Do you know where Zelda and Ganondorf went?" I asked.

"Who are the people that you're talking about?" She replied.

"Zelda is a Hyrulean princess with blond hair and bluish green eyes. She is a bit of a warrior. Ganondorf is an evil tyrant that is trying to steal the kingdoms from me and Zelda."

"Okay then. See you later, Hilda."

As I walk further away from the forest, the sun starts to set a bit. Ganondorf and Yuga are similar in personality and intentions, but Ganondorf is much worse because he has a beast form. I notice a castle in the distance- and as I look around once more, I realize that this place is very colorful compared to Hyrule and Lorule.

A young girl approaches me, and she opens her mouth to speak. "Are you another form of Princess Luna?" She asked.

"No. I'm not that princess that you're talking about. My name is Hilda, and I must reunite with my friend and help her to stop a villain," I replied.

"Okay, but I'll let you continue on your quest to save the day- although my sister and her friends saved the day a few times. My name's Apple Bloom. It's nice meeting you."

She walks off, and I feel a bit puzzled. How strange can this world get? First, a frightening forest, a witch in the middle of the forest, and girls with huge bows... Well, this place probably has more of the fantasy fairy tale effect than Hyrule and Lorule.

By the way, who is this 'Luna' that Apple Bloom is talking about? A girl that is the princess of darkness? I clear my mind of those thoughts as I walk towards the seemingly empty road. A girl with a hat walks down the road as if to get home. She notices me, and opens her mouth to speak.

"I've never seen an elf girl before. Who are you, and where are you from?" She asked.

"I'm not an elf! I'm from Lorule, a land that is just restoring! My Hyrulean counterpart is not an elf either. It's common for Hyruleans and Loruleans to have pointy ears, but that doesn't make us elves," I replied.

"Okay then, sorry if I was mistaken. My name's Apple Jack."

"My name's Hilda, and my Hyrulean counterpart is Zelda."

"Zelda? The girl that possibly fell from the sky?"

"Yes. How do you know?"

"Because I met her earlier today. Are you the Hilda that Zelda told me and my friends about?"

"Of course. Why do you and some people in this world have such strange names?"

"I don't know why. It's common for everybody in Equestria to have those type of names- like my name, for example. Those type of names are used to fit someone's personality or skills."

"Alright- and forgive me for asking about the names in a rude way."

"It's not really rude- we have visitors occasionally coming to Equestria."

"Where is Zelda?"

"She's at the castle because Princess Celestia wants an explanation about the strange vortex. If you want, I'll lead you to the castle."

---

Zelda's P.O.V

Two women glance at me as I sit down. "Please give us an explanation about the strange vortex. Do not give us any excuses," The woman with light hair said, "And if you haven't known our names yet, my name is Celestia. This is Luna- and we both rule Equestria. She controls the moon, while I control the sun."

"Okay, well. Do I have to refer to you by your titles?" I asked.

"You do not have to, if you do not want to," Luna said.

"This vortex is caused by a vile man named Ganondorf. He has come a long way to rule the multiverse, not just my kingdom called Hyrule and not just Hilda's kingdom called Lorule. He creates the vortex because of a lust and hunger for power. He is very powerful in magic and physical strength. He is the leader of the Gerudos, a tribe that populates the desert from Hyrule."

"Tell us more," Celestia said.

"It all started earlier when Ganondorf was threatening to steal the Lorulean Triforce from Hilda. Hilda kept rejecting, which angered the vile man. I confronted Ganondorf, and that's when he created the vortex. I do not know where Hilda has gone, but the last thing I remembered at the moment is when Hilda told me to stop Ganondorf. Well, my kingdom also has a Triforce, and it's Hyrulean."

I wonder what they will do if they ever see the Triforce. Deep inside, I sense that they have good intentions, but I'm still a bit suspicious about them.

"So, the Triforces of Hyrule and Lorule are the key to peace in those kingdoms?" Luna asked.

"They're also the keys to keeping the kingdoms from falling to ruins. Do not tell this to anybody else but the ones that are to be trusted," I replied.

"Well, in Equestria, we have the Elements of Harmony that are carried by their owners. Twilight has the Element of Magic, and she's a princess. Rarity has the Element of Generosity, Apple Jack has the Element of Honesty, Rainbow Dash has the Element of Loyalty, Pinkie Pie has the Element of Laughter, and Fluttershy has the Element of Kindness," Celestia said.

"Celestia and I once held those Elements until she banished me to the moon one night. Because of that, we are no longer connected to the Elements," Luna added in.

I notice the guards lead Hilda into this room, and she seems to have a range of mixed emotions. I want to ask her about what happened to her, where she was, and such, but I couldn't because I have to give an explanation to Celestia and Luna.

"Zelda! You're okay," Hilda called to me.

"Hilda, this isn't time for interruptions," I replied.

"Did you tell them about Hyrule's Triforce and Lorule's Triforce?! I surely hope not- else they'll search for them."

"I did tell them, and they don't have any intentions of stealing them. They have good intentions."

Hilda's expression turns to shock, and then worry, and finally a bit of seriousness as she narrows her eyes. She walks to the seat next to the one that I'm sitting in. "Zelda, why did you tell them?" She asked.

"I was talking about what happened earlier," I replied.

"So? It's not like they have to know about Ganondorf. I know Ganondorf is trying to rule Hyrule and Lorule, and we must stop him before he rules any more lands and universes."

Celestia turns her attention to us once again. "You must wait here while I summon Twilight and her friends to the meeting. We must talk about Ganondorf," She said, "And we should find a way to stop him."

---

Twilight's P.O.V

As I walk through the bookstore, a scroll comes out of Spike's mouth. "This letter is from Celestia. We should gather your friends and then meet her at the castle," Spike said.

"Okay," I replied as we walk out of the bookstore.

---

Meanwhile, Ganondorf is all alone in a desert that isn't populated, and he is plotting something...

---

Normal P.O.V

Ganondorf chuckles evilly as he gazes into the crystal. He can see what is going on at Canterlot Castle. "Tomorrow, I shall try to steal the kingdom from the two princesses. They won't stand a chance against me!" He said to himself.

He glances at his minions for a minute. "You must invade the whole kingdom! You can't just stay in here. You must spread out all across Equestria," He commanded.

His minions dash out of his throne room. Ganondorf cannot wait to have the whole wide multiverse to himself. He can imagine the people suffering under his rule, cowering at the sight at him every time they see him.

---

Well, if you haven't seen Magical Mystery Cure or the Season 4 finale, then it would be spoilers about Twilight being the princess. By the way, what will happen next? Any reviews/comments appreciated.

Hilda's P.O.V

Six girls enter the room, and one of them begin to speak up. "Celestia, what do you know about the new villain?" The girl with ebony hair and highlights asked.

"Ask the ones that fell from the strange vortex," Celestia replied.

"Well, this man has gone very far in his quest for power. He will never stop until he at least obtains Hyrule's Triforce and possibly Lorule's Triforce. He will also take over other lands if he discovers the existence of a certain land. The same will go for other worlds, and a chosen hero will stop him... The vile man's name is Ganondorf. He is the leader of the Gerudos, and he is the king of darkness. He is immortal- and he tried to take over many lands multiple times," Zelda said.

"And Ganondorf will succeed if a certain hero doesn't stop him... And that hero is left in Hyrule, however... It's time that we all take action, using courage, wisdom, and power to stop Ganondorf, once and for all!" I added in.

It would be nice to do something heroic for a change, since I didn't get to be the hero long ago when I tried to save Lorule using such desperate measures and making the wrong choices. "Girls, meet Twilight and her friends. Pinkie Pie represents laughter, Rainbow Dash represents loyalty, Apple Jack represents honesty, Rarity represents generosity, Fluttershy represents kindness, and Twilight represents magic," Luna said.

"It's nice to meet you," Rarity said.

"Zelda told us about you," Apple Jack said.

"You seem like a kind person, despite your cold exterior," Fluttershy said.

"It's so exciting to meet other people!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"You're not a bad person after all," Rainbow Dash said.

"Hilda, I think you're a bit like Luna," Twilight said.

"But everyone is different, right?" I replied.

"Yes," The girls said in unison.

"This is no time for meet and greet," Zelda said in a serious tone of voice, "This is serious matter! We have to stop Ganondorf before he takes over the multiverse and steals the Hyrulean Triforce and Lorulean Triforce, and possibly the Elements of Harmony!"

"Zelda is right. We must take action, starting tomorrow!" I added in.

"Um, actually, Ganondorf may have unleashed the minions upon this land," Zelda told me, "So if they enter town, then somebody better take action- or possibly watch over the town and this castle, if the monsters sneak into the castle."

"I will watch over the kingdom tonight," Luna said, "For I am the Princess of the Night."

"That's good, because you have no idea what the monsters may do," Fluttershy said.

"I agree with you, Fluttershy," Twilight said as her face shows a hint of nervousness.

"Are you nervous about something?" Apple Jack asked her.

"She tends to get nervous sometimes, but we must have courage to stop this evil man," Celestia replied.

---

A few hours later, Zelda and Hilda are spending the night in a hotel...

---

Zelda's P.O.V

As I drift into sleep, I enter a dream...

A beast looms over the land as Hilda holds up her staff. I hold up my sword as the beast swings one of the swords at us. The scene switches to a familiar place...

Ganondorf breaks the Hyrulean Triforce in his grasp, causing Hyrule to fall to ruins. Then he rides through the fires on his black stallion. "You're too late..." A disappointed voice said, "You allowed the multiverse to suffer... And that's because you fight like a girl. Can't you stay back while I fight the villains?"

I turn around, and standing there is Link. He simply walks off.

"I don't fight like a girl!" I screamed as I wake up.

---

Hilda's P.O.V

Darkness covers Lorule as Ganondorf breaks the Lorulean Triforce in his grasp. I gasp in horror, and then the scene switches to my own bedroom. "You're so foolish," A voice said as I approach the window.

All I could see outside is ruins and complete darkness. "Hilda, you're so foolish to ever leave Lorule in evil's grasp so that you could stop Ganondorf. How are we friends anyways?! I'm moving to Hyrule anyways," A voice concluded.

I turn around, and standing there is Ravio. "Ravio, I don't understand... I thought you forgave me. Why are you acting like this right now?" I said.

He pushes me to the floor, and then rushes out the door, causing the door to slam. That's when I start crying... Zelda appears, and raises her sword as if to kill me. "Zelda, I don't understand! Why do you want to kill me?" I asked her.

"You shouldn't have stolen the Hyrulean Triforce long ago..." She replied darkly.

"But I gave it back. I just don't understand..."

"NO!" I screamed as I wake up crying and sweating.

Zelda rushes into the room. "Are you all right? You sound as if you just had a bad dream," She said.

"I'm alright... I had a dream about when Ganondorf breaks the Lorulean Triforce, and then the scene switches to when you and Ravio act disappointed in me. And then you told me that I shouldn't have... And then you rose your sword to murder me," I replied as I break down crying.

Zelda places her arms around me. "I will never leave your side if Ganondorf attempts to succeed. We will stop him, no matter what happens. I have a dream about Ganondorf destroying Hyrule and also many other lands."

---

Zelda's P.O.V

Hilda places her head on my chest, and I pat her back. "It's okay... The events in the dream will never happen," I reassured.

"But what if those events happen? They seem so real," She replied, "And about the Hyrulean Triforce... And the sages..."

"I know, I know... And I forgave you for all that."

Hilda lays her head on the pillow, and I gently stroke her head.

---

Hope you are enjoying the story so far. Any reviews/comments appreciated.

Hilda's P.O.V

Zelda and I walk into the castle, and in the castle is a familiar figure. Celestia and Luna seem very serious. The figure is Ganondorf, I assume. Zelda glances at me for a moment. "You don't seem to do very good last night," She said, "Did the nightmare continue bothering you?"

"Yes," I replied.

"Can't I at least rule this land? I have a bit of Hyrule and Lorule, and this land isn't in my hands yet?! I shall rule the multiverse and I want to watch the people suffer and live harsh lives," Ganondorf said, "And if people resist, they shall be fed to the dragon!"

Zelda and I gasp. Celestia's face grows even more serious, and Luna's face does the same. "Ganondorf, you will not succeed. You will go down, for sure. No matter how many times you attempt to take over many universes and lands, you will not win," Celestia said.

"And if you ever attempt to feed our people to the dragon, then you will be punished. The dragon will also be punished," Luna added in.

"You royal girls are so stubborn! You never gave up a kingdom so easily because of that attribute. Not even Princess Zelda or Princess Hilda are willing to give up their kingdoms," Ganondorf remarked, "And there is a rumor about another princess that lives in this land. She is said to be holding the Element of Magic."

"How do you even know?" Celestia asked.

"I once attempted to rule the multiverse, but a certain hero stopped me in my tracks," Ganondorf replied as his tone starts revealing a bit of his anger and frustration.

"Sorry we were late, Celestia," Twilight shouted as she rushes into the throne room with her friends.

"Silence, Twilight. You are not supposed to reveal about being a princess until the timing is right," Celestia said in a stern voice.

Ganondorf turns around, and glances at Twilight and her friends. "Which one of you is the princess, and which one of you carry the Element of Magic?!" He demanded.

---

Zelda's P.O.V

I immediately rush in between Ganondorf and his potential target to defend Twilight and her friends. Twilight glances at me, and starts to speak.

"I don't need protection, and my friends don't need it either. We're heroes, remember? And we are capable of stopping evil using..." Twilight said.

"The legendary Elements of Harmony?!" Ganondorf interrupted, "I shall destroy the elements and bring this land to ruins as I start ruling it."

"Ganondorf! You must stop in your rampage for power," I demanded Ganondorf.

"Ooh, look at the cowardly damsel trying to put up a brave front," Ganondorf remarked.

"I am not a fucking cowardly damsel in distress!"

The "f" word apparently causes some people in the room to gasp. "You are not allowed to use profanity. It is improper and rude," Luna said.

"You cannot tell me what to do," I replied, "I can seem tough when I want to."

"But cussing is not how you prove strength, mental or physical," Celestia said.

I scoff at their words as I turn my attention to Ganondorf. "Look, Ganondorf... You will never prevail, no matter how many times you attempt to take over the multiverse! I know you kidnapped my ancestors long ago, and I'm never going to be the damsel in distress waiting for a stereotypical hero to rescue her," I said.

I feel a strong tap on my shoulder, and I look to the right. Rainbow Dash seems impressed by what I said. "You're so awesome when you said that. You do know to break the princess stereotype. I never adored princesses in my childhood because they're often portrayed as helpless women in need of rescuing," She said.

I blush a bit at her compliment. "I know to stand up for myself," I replied, "I'm the tough princess."

"Rainbow Dash, don't forget Twilight Sparkle or both of us," Celestia said, "We break the princess stereotype too."

"Yeah, right. I almost forgot," Rainbow replied.

"Hey... Is it just me or does Ganondorf remind me a bit of Tirek?" Apple Jack asked.

"They do have a similiar personality, as I can tell," Luna replied to her question.

"Who is Tirek?!" Ganondorf demanded, "You've been stalling for too long! I shall find out about the Elements already!"

He then grabs Twilight's wrist, and he gives her a menacing grin. "Get your hands off of her!" I demanded.

"I trust you have the Element of Magic, I presume? Some say that you do," Ganondorf said as his voice gets louder each time.

Twilight does nothing, but she seems a bit afraid. "I... I..." She replied.

"You have it?!"

"No! It will never ever be in your hands..."

I watch as Ganondorf imprisons Twilight in a crystal prison. Celestia and Luna give Ganondorf a cold glare as Ganondorf disappears, along with Twilight.

"What do we do now?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, what do we do?" Rainbow added in.

Celestia and Luna glance at us, and Celestia starts to speak. "You know how some villains enjoy being alone? Well, I have a feeling that Ganondorf has gone to the desert. The desert is bare of life, and not many people live there. You must journey into the desert. I will show you where it is," Celestia said as she summons her magic.

An image of the desert appears on the wall. "This," She said as she points at the structure on the far left, "Is the lair of Ganondorf's. Because he doesn't want anybody to foil his plans, he creates a sandstorm that is so strong and thick, that you could barely see through the storm. Also, beware of quicksands."

The image disappears, and Luna opens her mouth to speak. "I wish you good luck on the journey. We know you can do this," She said.

Hilda and I walk out of the room, along with Twilight's friends. "Okay, you know what you're supposed to do?" Hilda asked.

"Yes. I'm supposed to save Princess Twilight," I replied, "Sometimes I have to save a fair maiden from danger. One of my ancestors saved a Zora princess somehow, and one of them saved a Twili princess from dying of a villain's evil magic."

"Whoa, so saving women is in your bloodline? Why haven't the rest attempted to save a girl?"

"Oh, and I forget to mention one of my ancestors that is a pirate girl. She helped a boy to save his younger sister. So yeah, saving women is in my bloodline."

"My female ancestors only saved men. They never saved a woman from danger, and I'm not sure why. And when you're talking about saving a woman, I can imagine you wearing armor as you attempt to save a beautiful maiden from a dragon."

I smile in reply. Of course I can be like that sometimes- especially when a fair maiden just faints from fear.

Hope you are enjoying the story so far. Any reviews/comments appreciated!

Zelda's P.O.V

We all descend into the outskirts of town. Darkness covers the land, and the train is getting filled with people. "I think this train will take us to the desert," Apple Jack said as she approaches the train.

We follow her, and a man holds out his hand. "Where are you going?" He said.

"To the desert," Rainbow Dash said.

"Okay. The ride on the train will be five bits," The man said as he grabs the coins from Apple Jack's hand. We enter the train, and the train starts moving.

---

Twilight's P.O.V

"My friends will save me," I told Ganondorf.

"They will never find you because of a giant quicksand willing to suck anybody in, complete with the lava around my lair and the drawbridge. There's also cannons sticking out of the towers, so your friends can't get in. You'll be my prisoner until you at least tell me where the Element of Magic is!" He replied as he looks through the crystal.

I can see the train through the desert. Inside the train is a group of my friends, complete with Zelda and Hilda. "Ooh, they will be stopped," Ganondorf concluded.

---

Zelda's P.O.V

As the train enters the desert, it suddenly halts for some reason. The desert storm seems to get worse. "Don't worry, we will fix the problem. It may take a few hours," The conductor said.

"A few hours?!" Twilight's friends asked.

"Yes," Hilda and I said in unison.

An hour passes, and the desert storm keeps getting worse, to the point of where we can't see far away buildings and objects. "That's it. We're getting off," Rainbow Dash said.

We get off the train, and the air keeps heating up. Rarity and Hilda seem unhappy. "What's the matter?! You can't handle the dust?" I asked.

"I told you this is a bad idea! The wind is full of dust, and it will clog my beautiful purple hair! And the heat will make me sweat real bad," Rarity complained.

"She's right," Hilda added in.

"This is no time for complaints! We've got to endure the storm! Let's go," I retorted.

We walk through the storm, and the others are following suit. "I'll faint from the blazing heat," Rarity complained.

"I don't want to get a heatstroke," Hilda said.

"Would you be quiet! Just endure the harshness of the desert storm," I replied.

I take out my sword just in case some monsters are to appear. "No! My scarf!" Rarity shouted as her scarf flies off of her neck.

"Don't bother to chase after it," I told her.

Hilda takes out her staff. She seems to be thinking the same thing about the possibility of monsters popping up in the desert. A snake-like beast appears, and opens its mouth. It roars as it chases after us. Fluttershy screams in fear, and Rainbow Dash tries to defend her.

I slash at the beast, and Hilda restrains the beast with her magic. I slash the beast's head, and the beast roars in pain as it disappears. The storm calms down, and the sun starts to set. The air is getting a bit cooler, but it's still blazing hot. We notice a structure in the distance, and we start towards the structure. I notice Hilda falling through the sand, and I pull her out.

Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack rush in to help. We all pull her out of the sand. "Was this a quicksand?" Pinkie Pie asked absentmindedly.

"Yes," I replied, "That's why she almost sank through it.

"Look at your dress! It's dirty. You call yourself a princess?" Rarity asked Hilda.

I point an accusing finger at Rarity. "Don't be so mean to her! There's nothing wrong with getting clothes dirty, but sometimes it happens whenever a person is falling through quicksand or falling into a muddy puddle that is very deep. She is a princess, and don't you dare question about her title in such a way," I told her.

"Okay, then. Sorry, Hilda," Rarity told Hilda.

"That's okay," Hilda replied, "And Zelda, thanks for standing up for me."

We notice how deep the quicksand is. I think it used to be a river. We walk around the quicksand, and we get closer and closer to the structure.

A bit of a cliffhanger here. Any reviews/comments appreciated.

Zelda's P.O.V

The dark knights seem to heavily guard the fortress. A huge tower is in the center of the fortress, and a telescope is sticking out the window. I lead the girls into the fortress, and we don't get caught at all. I hear an oddly familiar song, as if I have heard it in a past life. Ganondorf must have been playing an organ.

That instrument's song doesn't sound as good, because it reminds me of Ganondorf's evilness. "What's with this tune? It sounds horrible- probably more horrible than an orchestra gone wrong," Rarity said.

"You're right," Apple Jack replied.

"Shh. The guards may be listening to us as we speak," I whispered.

"Alright then," Pinkie Pie said.

We notice a flight of stairs, and we begin going up the stairs. "It's really late," Hilda said.

"So?" I replied.

"We'd be tired by tomorrow if we don't get some rest," Rainbow Dash said.

"We're not going to sleep in some place with horrible music," Fluttershy complained.

"Who goes there?!" A voice boomed.

Fluttershy shrieks as a result. "We should get out before we get killed!" Rarity said.

"I'll get all of us out of here," Hilda said as she raises her staff to teleport all of us.

We are now outside of the fortress, like about a few miles away from the fortress. The night air cools down a bit. "Let's set up camp here," Apple Jack said.

Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack places a few sleeping bags on the ground. Rarity places her own sleeping bag on the ground, and she then gets into her sleeping bag. The rest of us get into our respective sleeping bags, and then we drift off to sleep.

The following morning...

---

Zelda's P.O.V

We all enter the fortress without difficulty, and we once again go up the tower. As we approach a huge door, we all press against the door to enter the room. Ganondorf turns around, and glares angrily at us. "I thought you would never go through the obstacles! How did you overcome them so easily?!" He demanded.

"It's because of teamwork," I said.

"Yeah! Without teamwork, we will never get here! Instead we would be stuck in the storm, falling through the quicksand! Everybody knows what would happen to them without teamwork," Pinkie Pie said.

"Well, I'd never leave my friends' side when they need help," Rainbow Dash said.

"I'll tell the truth whenever they need help," Apple Jack added in.

"Kindness keeps a team from breaking apart," Fluttershy said.

"I'm not sure about what generosity has to do with teamwork, but you give certain weapons to others if they need the weapons," Rarity said.

"And magic can be useful sometimes," Twilight said.

"So you're revealing the truth to me?" Ganondorf demanded.

"You won't win anything!" Hilda said.

"And you will never prevail!" I added in.

Twilight floats to the ground, and is released from the crystal prison. I take out my sword to fight Ganondorf, and Ganondorf does the same. "Hilda, take the girls to safety while I deal with Ganondorf," I told Hilda.

Hilda leads the girls out, and Ganondorf seems apparently angry. "Why did you have to foil my plans all the time?" Ganondorf demanded.

"You're evil, that's why," I retorted.

I slash Ganondorf ten times, and he floats into the air. He creates a magical ball, and throws it at me. I use my sword to deflect the attack and return the magic to him. He deflects it, and I hit the ball for the second time. This time he is stunned by his own magic.

I slash Ganondorf ten more times, and he floats into the air once again. I deflect the magical ball, and he doesn't deflect it this time. He falls to the floor once more, and I slash him ten more times. He collaspes for a moment, and then I feel the tower beginning to shake.

I rush downstairs to escape the castle, right before the tower crumbles to ruins.

---

Twilight's P.O.V

I place the crown on my head. This crown has the Element of Magic. My friends have the Elemental necklaces on their necks. As Zelda rushes out of the castle, Ganondorf appears in the air, along with a glowing triangle on his hand being on top of the bottom two triangles.

He turns into a beast, and is holding two blades. Zelda takes out a sword, and Hilda takes out a staff. They start to battle Ganondorf.

---

Zelda's P.O.V

As Ganondorf swings one of the blades at us, I quickly dodge, and I rush to his back to find a weak spot. I slash the tail, and he roars in pain. I slash his legs, leaving tons of cuts in his flesh. I take out a bow, and then I shoot a light arrow at Ganondorf's forehead, resulting in Ganondorf collasping to the ground.

I leap high into the air, and I point my sword at his forehead as I start to land. I press my sword through his forehead, and Ganondorf's screams fade to silence. I leap off his head, and the girls cheer for a second. As I summon my magic to banish Ganondorf to the darkness, Twilight and her friends intervene by activating the Elements of Harmony.

"Ganondorf, no matter how many times you try to take over many lands and many worlds, you never prevail... Because you are evil, and you shall never corrupt any world. This time, you have lost, and you shall be banished to the darkness," I said to Ganondorf's beast-like body.

"We shall banish you," Hilda said.

"And you will never escape your prison, Ganondorf," I added in.

I start using my magic once more, and Hilda does the same. The magic powers start to connect, and they fuse together to banish Ganondorf. Ganondorf is surrounded by light, and he is taken through the magical vortex.

"No! Curse you, Zelda! Curse you, Hilda! Curse you, Twilight! I shall wreak havoc on your future generation!" Ganondorf hollered. His screams fade to silence once again.

Zelda's P.O.V

The skies clear up, and Hilda teleports us to Canterlot Castle. "Twilight, you're safe," Celestia said to Twilight.

"Zelda, I owe my thanks to you for saving Twilight, and also Equestria," Luna told me.

"Don't I deserve a thank-you message for helping Zelda to stop Ganondorf?" Hilda asked.

"You only need a bit of recognization. I can get recognized once in a while," I replied.

"C'mon, stop boasting. You know it's not how you prove your heroism."

I give her a slight smirk, and then I take out my ocarina. "What is that?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"It's an ocarina. I use the ocarina to teleport to other places, and I also use it to travel through time. Thus, it is called the Ocarina of Time. Why do you ask about it?" I replied.

"I'm just interested."

"The fight out there between you and Ganondorf- it's so awesome! Your swordfighting skills are awesome- and the moment when you leap into the air..." Rainbow Dash told me.

"I know," I replied.

"And the bravery that you have displayed when you lead us up the stairs," Fluttershy said.

"Okay, girls. Am I going to get a thousand compliments for saving Equestria?" I asked.

"Yes! You also deserve a celebration for your heroic efforts," Pinkie said.

"I'm not sure. I may leave for Hyrule," I replied.

"Not yet, Zelda! You can stay for a while if you want," Apple Jack said, "Some of the people deserve to see their awesome heroes."

"Well... Every place has their own heroes," I said, "Just like you and your friends when you saved Equestria a few times."

"Not only you have saved your other lands, but you have also saved Equestria," Rarity said.

"I know," I replied.

A woman with pink hair and pastel highlights appear, and she is smiling at us. "Are you the ones that helped Twilight and her friends to save Equestria?" She asked me and Hilda.

"Yes," I replied, "How do you know?"

"Well, I am the princess of the Crystal Empire. A lot of monsters invaded the empire last night, but this morning they disappeared all of a sudden. I assumed that it is your teamwork that helped to save the day. My name's Cadence."

"Cadence," Twilight said as she notices Cadence.

"You know each other?" I asked.

"I used to babysit her when she was really young," Cadence replied.

I place my ocarina into my sack, and the four princesses glance at us. "You deserve recognization for saving Equestria, and saving Princess Twilight from the clutches of evil," Celestia said, "Thank you for saving the land from Ganondorf."

"But Hilda and I didn't intend to enter Equestria! We tried to stop Ganondorf from getting away with his evil plans, but then we fell through the vortex," I replied, "But still, I know I saved the land from Ganondorf, with the help of Twilight's friends."

"We agree with Zelda," Twilight's friends said in unison.

---

Later that evening, there is a party happening outside of Canterlot...

---

Zelda's P.O.V

There are lots of sweets on the tables, and people are partying in such a wild way. Pinkie Pie is the most excitable, I'll say. Hilda and I sit down, and then we have a piece of cake. "It's nice to be heralded as a heroine after being saved long ago. Well, I saved this land, and Link doesn't know just yet. The story of me saving Equestria is sure to blow his mind!" I told Hilda.

"I know, right? But still, you're already a heroine. I mean, you saved my kingdom by using a wish on the Triforce," She replied, "So if someone is stolen, it wouldn't make them less of a hero or heroine."

"Much like how Twilight stays heroic when she helps us to banish Ganondorf."

"You gonna write a letter to Celestia?" Apple Jack asked, interested.

"No. They may come tonight, and I will tell them in person," I replied.

"Yeah, right," Rainbow Dash said.

Celestia and Luna arrive in a chariot, and they step off the chariot to greet us. Twilight is with them, and is smiling. Four women appear, and they start singing. They look a bit like Fluttershy, but they aren't Fluttershy's sisters.

"Behold the two heroic princesses that fall from the sky in the form of a vortex... They have teamed up with Princess Twilight's friends to stop the Master of Evil, and they have saved our land from the clutches of evil... Behold, behold the two princesses that arrived to save Equestria!" The women sang.

I stand up, and I approach Celestia and Luna. I look at the crowd for one second as Hilda approaches me. "I feel so honored to be celebrated tonight. It wasn't my destiny to save the multiverse- but I know that it has become my destiny to save not just this land, but also my kingdom and Hilda's kingdom!" I announced as the crowd starts to cheer.

"It feels great to do something heroic for a change, as I have made the wrong choices long ago when I tried to save Lorule from doom... It feels so right to save Equestria with the help of our friends," Hilda added in, "If my other friends are here, they would have been impressed."

I think I notice a small tear run down her cheek. I wipe the tear off her cheek, and Hilda smiles at me. "It's all over now," I said.

"I'm not crying... I just feel so happy," Hilda replied as she starts crying tears of joy, "You have made me learn a lot..."

I smile as I hug her for a moment. "It takes time to learn from others. It does not happen overnight," Luna said.

I turn my attention to Celestia, who smiles at me. "Celestia, I have learned that even though someone needs help in such an event like Twilight's capture, that person will still help you to fight evil- and restore order to a land... I have once saved Hilda's kingdom from doom by making a wish for the land to be restored. She sees me as a heroine, even though back then I do not, because of what happened. I still am a heroine, and sometimes even the most heroic may need some help," I said.

"And even though it feels good to do something right for a change," Hilda added in, "Some people may still remember what happened in the past. The past is in the past- and that's what my friends taught me. I was such a fool back then, but now, I have made the right choices- even if it involves being a little self-sacrificing. I have once considered making a wish for everybody to forget about what I have done, but Ravio told me otherwise. My friends helped me to forgive myself, and I have turned into a stronger and better person."

"It takes a lot of strength to forgive yourself for what you have done. One time the Nightmare forces corrupted me, but then I got banished to the moon for a thousand years. I was then released by Twilight Sparkle and her friends. Back then, I couldn't forgive myself, but now, I am able to forgive myself," Luna said.

I smile at her words of wisdom, and so does Hilda. "Everyone has a time when they couldn't forgive themselves for what they have done," Celestia said, "Like Twilight... There are a few times when she made mistakes with her magic. And to count that one time when she panicked about not writing a letter to me."

"That is very true," Twilight added in, "Sometimes my friends aren't able to forgive themselves for their mistakes. One time, Fluttershy went too far in being assertive... One time, Apple Jack kept rejecting my offer to help her to harvest all of the trees... One time, Pinkie Pie tried to be better than Cheese Sandwich during Rainbow's birthday... One time, Rainbow Dash forgot the importance of humility... One time, Rarity left us to focus on her dreams to becoming a popular fashion designer..."

"So I'm not the only one?" Hilda asked.

"Of course you're not the only one," I replied.

A few minutes after the party ends, Hilda teleports us to the castle. Celestia and Luna are sitting on their thrones, and Twilight is standing with her friends. I take out my ocarina, and I smile at them, and so does Hilda. "We are going to leave for Hyrule and Lorule," I said, "And you were really great friends to us. I mean, we've learned a lot from each other. This is the last time that we'll ever see of each other, right?"

"Right," Twilight and her friends said in unison.

"I will miss you so much, Luna. You've become a very good friend to me. We have a lot in common, and I feel that we should have talked to each other more. I mean, you touched my heart with your words of wisdom and your kindness," Hilda told Luna.

"We may look a bit like twins, but we have different personalities- and that doesn't mean that we have nothing in common. Even though you have ruby eyes, you were still a kind person," Rarity said.

"You are seriously the most awesome duo out there, fighting evil," Rainbow Dash said.

"I agree with Rainbow Dash," Apple Jack added in.

"Thank you so much, Zelda... Thanks to you too, Hilda," Twilight said, "You did a great job helping us to stop Ganondorf. Equestria is in peace once again."

She hugs us for a moment, and the portal opens. "Goodbye," I told Twilight and her friends.

"Goodbye, Luna... We've learned a lot from each other... And goodbye to you, Celestia..." Hilda said.

Hilda and I enter the portal, and the last thing we remember is the goodbyes from our new friends and also their princesses...

---

Some time later, when the princesses end up in Hyrule Castle...

---

Zelda's P.O.V

I wake up, and so does Hilda. Link and Ravio are just standing there when suddenly they notice us. They rush to us as if to embrace us. "We were worried! What happened while you are gone?" Ravio asked.

"I'll tell you later, but for now... We've learned a lot from our adventure," I said, "And I even stopped Ganondorf with the help of our friends from another world."

"Really, Zelda? What happened?" Link asked.

"Alright... It's a long story short..." Hilda said.

"I rushed into Hilda's castle one day when suddenly there is a bit of a commotion in the throne room. I thought that she may be in danger, so I rushed into the throne room to see what's the matter. Hilda is confronting Ganondorf, and then Ganondorf noticed me. I did not scream- I tried to stop him. As I may repeat, I tried to stop him! That's when the vortex sucked us in. We entered Equestria through the vortex, and then we reunited when Hilda entered the meeting that is being held by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna," I started.

"And when we met Twilight and her friends called Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie, we immediately became friends- sort of. One morning, Ganondorf rushed into Canterlot Castle to get Twilight Sparkle, and he kidnapped her because Twilight isn't willing to give him the Element of Magic. And then Zelda and I set out on a quest to save Twilight from Ganondorf. We stopped Ganondorf with the help of Twilight and her friends, and then we went back to Canterlot to tell Celestia and Luna of Twilight's rescue," Hilda added in.

"And then Pinkie Pie threw a party to honor us, which is really great because I love being seen as a heroine. During the quest, I have learned that even though somebody is heroic, they may need your help at one point or another, such as when Twilight is captured. And we also learned that it takes a lot of strength to forgive oneselves. Luna once was corrupted by the Nightmare forces, but is rescued by Twilight and her friends. Since then, she couldn't forgive herself. And she has forgiven herself, long before we got to Equestria."

"You must have done great on your adventure, Zelda," Link said.

"Hilda, you seemed a lot more cheerful," Ravio said.

"Yes. It was Luna and Pinkie Pie that taught me the most," Hilda replied.

We embrace each other once again, and then Hilda and Ravio leaves for Lorule through the crack.

Hope you enjoyed the story! Hilda really learned a lot from her friends that are from Equestria. Any reviews/comments appreciated!
