Link smiled at Shadow until Ganondorf laughed. He started to feed some of his power to Mairead and Stratton, healing them. "You don't scare me doppleganger," he said.
Link growled, then charged. "Enough talk!" He jumped and aimed for Ganondorf's head.

Mairead felt his power flow through her and got to her feet. Her speed was a blur as she dove in to block Link's strike with her hammer. She was unable to block Shadow's strike that was right on his lover's tail.

She couldn't but Stratton could. A tendril of magic wrapped around Shadow's blade and pushed it back. Ganondorf chuckled and summoned his blade. "Leave them alive. I don't want to waste time tracking the Triforce down." Link prepared for another charge towards Mairead.
