Everything was running smoothly at first. Zero and Leviathan ventured away from the safety of Isis' cover fire to seek out the last of the civilians. Things went downhill pretty quick almost as soon as Mr. Freeze appeared. Leviathan struck first, or at least, he attempted to. Freeze set off a grenade of some kind that froze most of Leviathan's left arm. That just left the two of them, and from here, things happened in what felt like an eternity of time.

Zero also tried to go on the offensive, hoping he could maybe catch Freeze off guard while the villain's attention was on Leviathan. Zero wasn't that lucky, however, because Freeze spotted him a mile away opened fire with his primary weapon, the Freeze Gun. His shots, all three of them, hit their mark and Zero was frozen in place, appearing like an ice sculpture of himself.

"All too easy." he said in his ice-cold tone. He started to return his attention to Leviathan but a peculiar sound made him stop. He raised an eyebrow with curiosity as cracks began rapidly spreading around the ice encasing Zero until it exploded off of him. Even more surprising, this turned into a controlled blast that forced most of the icy shrapnel in Freeze's general direction. Of course, his suit was plenty strong enough to withstand the blast, "...Intriguing." was all he had to say in response.

Once free, Zero went on the attack again. This time, his escape from Freeze's ice blast gave him the element of surprise, albeit briefly. Still, that was all he needed. He lunged at Freeze with a fist of his own, however this one became covered in thick, tough ice to reinforce it as it collided with Freeze's glass helmet. Of all of Batman's rogues, Mr. Freeze was the one Zero had studied the most for obvious reasons. He didn't know everything, but from what he understood, defeating Freeze could be as simple compromising the protection of his suit, since it was the only thing keeping him alive in any non-arctic environment. And although he managed to hit Freeze as hard as he could muster, he didn't break the glass.

Of course, Freeze offered no time for a second attack. In fact, now that Zero was in close range, Freeze reached an armored hand out, grabbing the young Titan and tossing him aside. As a follow-up, Freeze pulled the pin on an ice grenade and threw it straight at Zero. Perhaps a more powerful ice blast would be enough to put his young opponent on ice.

Zero refused to let himself fall for the same trick twice, "Oh no you don't!" he thrust his hands out and a wall of ice rose in front him to catch the grenade. When it detonated, the freeze blast was redircted backwards, though unfortunately it was too far away from Freeze to be a danger to him.

"Your powers, though strikingly similar to my own technology, seems limited by your own physical stamina. My weapons, however, have no such limits. You're a fool if you think you can outlast me in a dragged out battle." Freeze taunted, though in his usual cold tone, so it sounded less like a taunt and more like a cold assertion.

"You're right, I don't stand a chance on my own." as Zero spoke, he conjured himself the biggest hammer he could swing, "But that never stopped Robin!" he started running forward, "AND IT WON'T! STOP! ME!"
Well, real-world controversies aside, I doubt the Gorons are going to be acting as friendly or welcoming as they used to. I remember in Ocarina of Time they were more than happy let Link go into the Dodongo Caverns, and while Darunia himself took some convincing, in the end it wasn't that hard for the Goron people to trust Link completely. That level of openness is what I believe is no longer present. I'm sure they're still maintaining their original treaty with Zelda and Hyrule and all that, but I seriously doubt they're going to be calling anyone their Sworn Brother any time soon since the last person they did, you know, conquered the world and all.

Ehhhh. That's... Hard to compare.

Because, technically, the Jewish people have only been in control of the actual city of Jerusalem since WWII, and have never really had a military force to fight Islamic people anyway (Unlike Christians).

Now, if you were to argue Christians and Muslims fighting over it, that is a bit closer to a mellenium, but wasn't caused by a grudge. The crusades (Where I'm kind-of considering the 'start' of this conflict) were caused by the fact the Islamic people in charge there ceased letting Christians into the city as well as other bad things to Christians

... Believe it or not I'm a Math Major, actually.


I realized my error and edited accordingly. Even still, the Crusades themselves are arguably what sparked the current animosities between the groups today. Point is, people are more than capable of holding a grudge even that long after the fact.

Never though of that angle... It is a 1000 years later, so some of that might have died down.


You'd be surprised how long a grudge can last. Jews, Muslims, and Christians have been fighting over Jerusalem for thousands of years and are showing no signs of that ever dying down.
Alright. This is a neat idea. I guess I'll make a CS.

And I totally plan on having the most useful tool of Link's arsenal as my character's inheritance...

The Dominion Rod from Twilight Princess!


Naw dude, the Spinner is totally the most useful! <_<

Yeah, I can definitely see a large Goron throwing a Sheikah Cuisinart at the bad guys. It's touching, really: people of different races and upbringing, different approaches to problem solving, coming together to smite their enemies and scorch the earth behind them.

That's what life's all about.

Now... combo moves!


That might take a bit of work. If I had to guess, the Gorons are understandably more cautious of outsiders in recent years. I'm really only basing this on Link being more than just Darunia's friend (they were Sworn Brothers after all) and the Hero turning evil would no doubt have felt like a very deep betrayal for the Gorons who all essentially called him Brother. I'd wager they're keeping to themselves and choosing to isolate themselves from the world outside of Death Mountain because they never want to feel such betrayal ever again.
@The Kid Lantern

Well, I can imagine one or two things happening here, but since you're controlling Freeze it's probably the kind of thing we'd need to work together on.
@Sigil

What, you mean something like this?
Picked a theme song for Argon:


...And with that the Gorons have now officially become the Vikings of the Zeldaverse. xD


No one ever got back to me after I made the requested changes so here he is again.
