PLAY BY PLAY
HPW and HXS TV set the scene!
The tradition continues! We return to Eventide Island to put up all the gold in Hyrule! And after being ThunderStruck, after holding a Spectacular Spectacle, and after reaching Termina Velocity, Treasure Island 3 could be the most explosive one yet! The Death Mountain Champion, Tali, is back to take on anyone who wants a fight, but will she regret putting out such a bold challenge? The Princess of Hyrule, Zelda, had her first loss in over 18 MONTHS, to the living legend of TCW, the Sorceress of Shadows, Veran! Will Zelda’s historic reign fall to give rise to a new chapter in Veran’s career? Or can Zelda prove she’s a legend in the making?
The return to Eventide means the return of the Eventide Challenge, and perhaps shockingly, the Hero of Hyrule, Link, is among the competitors fighting for a shot at the Triforce Championship! But speaking of which, Kage is going double or nothing against the Zora Rock ‘n’ Rolla! Who will be history’s first DUAL Triforce and Termina Champion? But Arrow Club isn’t just aiming for one title! They’re kicking off the night, going for the Trios Championships! Ganondorf, Zant and Agahnim are finally back in action since winning in May, but will it be the Young Ducks & Bad Croc Scaly that beat them? Or their build-up of ring rust? HPW Treasulre Island 3 starts now!
HPW Trios Championships: GZA VS Arrow Club!
Ganondorf, Zant and Agahnim conquered Blood & Thunder back in May, but have coasted ever since. Now they have to defend their titles, and against the red hot Young Ducks and Bad Croc Scaly! Will the gold stay in GZA’s DNA? Or will Ganondorf’s party be over when Mack, Rick & Scaly throw a #SuperQUACKParty?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who throws the bigger party!
The trios sort out and Zant starts against Rick Quackson. Fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock until Zant wrenches an arm to a wristlock. Rick rolls, kips up, wrenches and wristlocks Zant in return. Zant pries at the hold, Rick twists the wrist, but Zant rolls, spins and slips through to hammerlock then headlock. Rick throws body shots, pops out the back to go for a headlock, but Zant pops out the back to ROCK Rick in the back! Zant goes to chicken wing the arms, but Rick gets loose to arm-drag Zant away! Zant comes back but puts on the brakes as Rick shows superkick! Fans applaud the standoff!
Zant shakes his head and shoos Rick while he goes to the GZA corner. Zant tags Agahnim, and he circles with Rick now. Mack quite literally squawks at Agahnim to distract him, and Rick CLOBBERS him against ropes! Rick stomps Agahnim at the ropes, the ref counts and Rick stops at 4. Rick argues with the ref about the count, and Mack KICKS Agahnim off the ropes! Fans are torn between cheers and jeers while Rick drags Agahnim back to center. Rick drags Agahnim up to ROCK him with a haymaker. Agahnim staggers, Rick forearms him against ropes, but again lets off as the ref counts. Mack goes for another cheap shot but Agahnim ROCKS him first!

TWO, Rick gets Agahnim’s leg and drags him towards the corner. Agahnim kicks Rick away, Mack tags in, and Rick rushes Agahnim.

Ganondorf roars and flexes now, but Scaly sits up and shakes out the stars going around his head. Ganondorf storms up on Scaly, pushes him to ropes and whips, but Rick tags in as Scaly rebounds. Ganondorf swings but Scaly ducks and slips around to shove Ganondorf into a GAMANGIRI! Rick jumps in, tags Mack, and then bumps Ganondorf off buckles.

Eventide Challenge: Hilda VS Cia VS Skull Kid VS Hollywood ReDead VS Groose VS Link!
Her Grace, the Dark Sorceress, “The Masked Madman,” the Immortal Renegade, the Skyfall Stud, and the Hero of Hyrule all survived the 21 Person Battle Royal in Termina! And now they’re here to fight for that golden ticket to the Triforce Championship! Who wins this race to head for the goal that is Clash of Fates?
Hilda shows off a very fashionable one piece swimsuit with skirt in her entrance, while Cia has a bikini top and denim cut-off shorts. Skull Kid and ReDead are dressed as they usually are, while Link has blue swim trunks. Lastly, Groose is in a speedo, and in a Studly Guys shirt that’s perhaps more Tingle’s size than his. Everyone has a hard time looking at him as they all stand in the ring. Fans chant “Banana Hammock! *clap clap, clap clap clap* Banana Hammock! *clap clap, clap clap clap*” Groose flexes to really pump up his chest and shoulders and fans cheer more. The bell rings, Groose takes off his shirt and throws it at Skull Kid before he BOOTS him!
Fans go nuts as Groose goes after Skull Kid as he exits the ring! Cia and Hilda go after each other with fast hands and ReDead rushes Link. Link dodges and SUPERKICKS ReDead! Then HOOK KICKS him! ReDead flops out of the ring, Link aims at the ropes, and as ReDead gets up, PLANCHA! Direct hit and down goes ReDead! Fans fire up and Link goes to the ramp, but the UnderWorld Order is there! Are they going to violate the NOID? Well, actually, with Ted Beedle Ossi’s money… But then the Dark Forces attacks! Volga CLOBBERS Gomess, Wizzro jumps onto Death Sword, and of course the Gibdos brawl!
Link is a bit surprised, but he manages to get around the brawling factions. Death Sword throws Wizzro off him then DECKS him with a forearm! Death Sword goes to ReDead but the ref tells him not to interfere or he will get fined and suspended per the No Outside Interference Decree! Death Sword stays back, but he coaches ReDead up. ReDead staggers and leans against barriers as he makes his way to the ramp. Fans go nuts as Cia whips Hilda into the timekeeper’s area and topples the table! Cia then hurries to the ramp, the Dark Forces cheering her on. Groose whips Skull Kid into barriers, but Skull Kid comes right back to UPPERCUT him down!
Skull Kid stomps Groose a few times before rushing to the ramp. Skull Kid storms his way up the ramp, everyone giving him space. That leaves Groose and Hilda both sputtering at ringside, tied for last place. Skull Kid picks up speed and catches up to Cia. Cia looks back to see him, tries to speed up, but Skull Kid is so fast! Are his legs longer? Either way, Skull Kid blows past Cia, and she ends up coughing and sputtering from the sand he kicked up! Picture in picture shows us that the uWo and Dark Forces are still brawling at ringside! They can’t violate the NOID if no one is around! Gomess POSTS Volga while Death Sword APRON CHOKE SLAMS Wizzro!
Meanwhile, Skull Kid catches up to ReDead as he heads uphill. ReDead stops, grabs a rock, and he CHUCKS it at Skull Kid!! Skull Kid catches the rock!? And then holds it like a football as he runs into ReDead! ReDead tumbles down the hill and Skull Kid spikes the rock like he scored a touchdown. Skull Kid continues on and Link is right up ahead. Link looks back and sees Skull Kid coming. Link tries to go faster but Skull Kid runs him down, too. Skull Kid CLOBBERS Link from behind right as they reach the summit of Koholint Rock! Skull Kid hammers away on Link, but Link manages to hit him back. Link staggers up, going for the prize, but Skull Kid CHOP BLOCKS one of his legs!
We see that the Gibdos are brawling in the ring! Dark Forces Gibdo in purple ROCKS uWo Gibdo in black with big haymaker after big haymaker, then spins, into a HELL STAB from uWo Gibdo! uWo Gibdo whips Dark Forces Gibdo to a corner, then runs in to SPLASH! uWo Gibdo runs side to side, but Dark Forces Gibdo drops and uWo Gibdo gets caught up on the ropes! Dark Forces Gibdo dumps uWo Gibdo up and out of the ring! Back to Skull Kid, he drags Link up and has the leg, for a SHIN BREAKER! Skull Kid holds onto the leg for a DRAGON SCREW! Link writhes while Skull Kid grabs the golden ball.
Skull Kid storms back the way he came, and he runs downhill to barrel into ReDead! They both tumble, but Skull Kid holds onto the prize. Skull Kid gets up, but Hilda SHOTGUNS him down! The prize goes flying and it bounces off the ground and rolls away. Hilda gets up to chase after the ball but ReDead is also in pursuit. ReDead shoves Hilda into a bush! ReDead hurries to chase down the ball, but then a dozen or so more golden balls fly out from behind a rock! The prize ends up lost among them! ReDead freaks out and wonders who just did that! ReDead looks behind the rock but no one is there, though there is a bucket labeled with a purple rabbit logo.
ReDead looks through the assortment of gold balls, and throws away the ones that aren’t the prize. Hilda drags herself out of the bush but Cia runs up on ReDead to hit a SLINGBLADE! Cia starts looking through the balls but Hilda BOOTS her down! Hilda looks and grabs up the ball! Three guesses to how she knows it’s the right one. Hilda hurries back towards the ringside area, but Groose is there waiting, arms crossed like a speedo wearing guardian. Hilda stares at him and frowns as she looks him up and down. Hilda slowly approaches and Groose takes a fighting stance. Hilda tries to juke Groose but he anticipates it and catches her in a waistlock!
Hilda kicks and flails but Groose holds on to GERMAN SUPLEX Hilda back up the trail! Groose hurries to grab the prize, but then Skull Kid comes flying in like a keese outta hell! Skull Kid CLOBBERS Groose into railing and fans fire up as they get closer to the action. Skull Kid fires off hammering fists like he did on Link, and then he grabs at the arm holding the prize. Groose moves around but Skull Kid holds on. Groose turns around into a BOOT from ReDead! Groose falls back on Skull Kid, and ReDead grabs the prize! But then Cia SMACKS ReDead on the back with a chair! ReDead drops to his knees, and Cia SMACKS him again!
Cia picks up the prize and heads towards ringside. The Dark Forces have turned the table, and Wizzro is choking Gomess with a chair digging into his neck! Death Sword wraps Wizzro in a SLEEPER! Death Sword holds Wizzro up and swings him around like that! Death Sword then whips Wizzro, just to reel him in for a BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Death Sword gets up but Volga SUPERKICKS him! Volga and Dark Forces Gibdo clear the uWo and hold the ropes for Cia. But then LINK slips in and DIVES through the opening to take out Cia at the ramp!! Everyone is shocked, especially the Dark Forces!
Link grabs the prize but Hilda runs in! She jumps up and RANAS Link away! But he still has the prize! Hilda hurries after Link, but Skull Kid POUNCES her away!! Skull Kid roars and looks around wildly, does he not know Link has the prize? RIGHT HAND OF THE GODDESS! Groose shakes out his hand while he looms over Skull Kid. ReDead picks Groose up for an atomic drop! Groose hobbles, clutching his tailbone, and then ReDead POSTS him! Link fireman’s carries ReDead for a BOMBOS MEDALLION to the floor! Link holds the prize up high and fans fire up as he steps up into the ring! Link wins!
Winner: Link (NEW Mr. Eventide)
The Dark Forces can only stare as the Hero of Hyrule stands there victorious! Link is heading back to Clash of Fates, but will he be meeting the Hero’s Shadow or the Zora Rock ‘n’ Rolla?
A video plays on the titantron.
The sound of horses galloping on a dirt track. Glimpses of wild horses on the open plains. The galloping transitions to wrestlers running the ropes in the ring. The sound of the ring mat rumbling and the horses galloping blend together until they’re almost the same. “Those whose spirits cannot be tamed, run the race so that glory can be claimed!” Then the date, “9/18/22” and a logo flashes on screen.
Just what is this Dark Horse Stampede? And what glory will be on the line when it’s time?
HPW Death Mountain Championship Open Challenge: Tali w/ Shabonne VS ???
The Dame of the Dunes is back from defending her Sand Seal Racing Championship in the Gerudo Desert, and now she’s ready to defend this title here! Once in the ring, Shabonne gets on the mic to say, “Sav’saaba, vai and voe, here on Eventide Island and watching around the world! And that includes Termina, after the great event just last month. A bit of a shame the Dame of the Dunes couldn’t make it for that, but y’know, prior engagements and uh, better places to be.” Shabonne chuckles but luckily no one from Termina seems to be here right now. “But Tali is back in the ring, and that can only mean one thing: she will dominate whoever steps to her!
“So that said, it doesn’t matter who HPW found that’s either brave enough or stupid enough to take Tali on, Tali will dominate them, dominate their daddy, dominate their momma, and dominate their next door neighbor’s cousin, because no one is dethroning The Dame of the Dunes! But go ahead, whoever’s back there. Come on out and take this beating Tali’s got on deck for you!” Tali flexes while Shabonne drops the mic, and “A-A-ARROW CLUB! F-F-F-F-FOR! LIFE!” Fans are surprised, we just saw Arrow Club win the Trios titles! Who is it- TORBEVITO!? Torbevito is now in Arrow Club!? And he’s already lost to Tali once, is he going to avenge being thunder struck?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Arrow Club gets even stronger!
The bell rings and Shabonne is protesting! Tali already beat Torbevito, why’s he back? The ref says it’s an Open Challenge, anyone can answer it! Tali tells Torbevito that dressing differently won’t magically make him stronger. They tie up, Tali powers Torbevito to ropes and the ref counts the ropebreak. Tali lets off at 4, and she SLAPS Torbevito. Torbevito KICKS Tali in the leg! Fans let out a “Whoa…!” as the two stare down. Tali swings but Torbevito ducks, throws body shots, then KICKS Tali’s leg again. Torbevito front kicks, SOBATS, then runs, but Tali runs him over! Tali flexes while fans are torn, “TOR-BE-VI-TO!” “SA-O-TEN!”
Tali drags Torbevito up and CLUBS him on the back. Tali whips Torbevito to a corner hard, and he bounces off buckles to hit the mat. Tali then storms over to haul Torbevito up, whip him to ropes, and then pick him up, but Torbevito fights through to sunset flip! TWO, and Tali gets up to SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO! Fans fire up but Tali stomps Torbevito. Shabonne tells Tali to make sashimi out of Torbevito, and Tali drags him up into a BEARHUG! Tali thrashes Torbevito around but he endures while fans rally. Torbevito throws elbow after elbow, but RAMS him into a corner, and then OVERHEAD Belly2Belly suplexes!
Torbevito sits up in a daze, and Tali storms up on him. Tali facelocks and deadlift suplexes Torbevito! Tali holds Torbevito up and fans count along. Tali holds Torbevito up past 10, then past 15, and even flexes with one arm before the SLAM at 20! Cover, TWO!! Torbevito is even dizzier than earlier but he’s still in this. Fans rally up while Torbevito staggers and wobbles. Tali shoves him to ropes to then GERMAN SUPLEX, but Torbevito lands on his feet! Torbevito SUPERKICKS Tali! Tali wobbles now, and Torbevito runs in to use the ropes for a WHIRLPOOL DDT!! Cover, TWO!! Tali survives Torbevito’s best shot!?
Fans are going nuts, some are calling BS, but Torbevito hurries up to a corner! Torbevito climbs, but Shabonne gets on the apron! Just like ThunderStruck! The ref reprimands, but the distraction gives Tali time to get up! Torbevito adjusts and CROSSBODIES! But Tali rolls through! Fans fire up as Tali swings Torbevito around, only for Torbevito to get around and CRUCIFIX DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Tali survives again but Torbevito fires up! Fans fire up with him and he KICKS Tali in the chest! Tali sputters but stays up, so Torbevito KICKS her again! And again, and again, then runs, PENALTY KICK! STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!!
Fans are thunderous and Shabonne is shouting at Tali to get up. Tali crawls to a corner and drags herself up while the fans duel, “TOR-BE-VI-TO!” “SA-O-TEN!” Torbevito runs in, WHIRL- NO, Tali throws Torbevito away this time! Tali blocks the superkick and spins Torbevito around, DRAGON WHIP! Torbevito shoves Tali to ropes and table tops her for a roll-up! TWO, but Torbevito springboards for a DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, TWO!! Tali sputters and gets out of the ring! Shabonne goes to her side but Torbevito aims for them! PLANCHA! Shabonne takes the hit! Tali then BOOTS Torbevito down! Fans boo as Tali puts Torbevito back in.
Tali grabs at Torbevito but he reels her into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Tali endures while fans fire up, and Torbevito uses just his legs to squeeze while throwing down elbows! Torbevito elbows again and again and again but Tali endures. Shabonne coaches her up, but the ref has her stay back from the apron. Tali fights up, deadlifts Torbevito, and SIT-OUT POWERBOMBS! But Torbevito reels her back in! Wait, he’s modifying the hold! He’s got a shin under the chin! Tali flails, reaches out, but he throws more and more elbows! Tali is fading! The ref checks her, SHE’S OUT!! TORBEVITO WINS!!
Winner: Torbevito, by submission (NEW HPW Death Mountain Champion)
After 225 days, the Dame of the Dunes is dethroned! The Son of the Whirlpool rises up, and he holds up the championship on behalf of Arrow Club! Will Torbevito make his father proud? Will the hits keep on coming as Fin Balure takes on Kage?
HPW Goddess Championship: Zelda VS Veran!
The Princess of Hyrule had been spotless and unbeaten for a year and seven months, until running into the Sorceress of Shadows at Termina Velocity! That loss didn’t lose Zelda the title, but it meant she would owe Veran this match here tonight! Will Veran’s legend continue through HPW? Or can Zelda hold on to her crown and continue her reign into the Fall?

HPW Triforce & Termina Championships Winner Takes All: Kage VS Fin Balure!
This is already the most historic match in HPW history, and perhaps all of pro-wrestling history. HPW may have adopted the Termina Championship when Igos du Ikana brought it back, but it still has the lineage for THE Termina Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Championship. Fin Balure is the first Zora to hold that title since Sharky Shipwreck back in September of 1999. Meanwhile, Kage, only the third-ever HPW Triforce Champion, has only reigned for over two months. It was surely a must-see moment when he won at The Spectacular Spectacle, but this will be an even bigger moment! Who reigns as DUAL champion of Hyrule and Termina?
The introductions are made, both belts are raised, but only one leaves Treasure Island with them both!
Fans are thunderous at the bell as the two stare down. Fin is smirking but Kage is scowling. They slowly circle and fans rally up. They tie up, go around, and fans fire up as Fin puts Kage in a corner but Kage puts Fin on the ropes. Fin turns it back around and referee Tiger Sahasrahla counts the ropebreak. Fin lets off with another smirk but Kage keeps cool. They tie up again, Fin headlocks to hit a takeover but Kage rolls it to a cover. ONE, Fin holds on and Kage fights up to his feet.

The Young Ducks go to where Fin is from the outside, and Scaly gets in the ring to stare Kage down. The medic gives Fin an icepack for his eye and he carefully gets to his feet.

Winner: Fin Balure, by disqualification (still HPW Termina Champion, but Kage is still HPW Triforce Champion)
Fans boo, they wanted to see a dual champion! But Fin’s ace in the hole backfires! No one is the winner here, and that pisses Kage off! Kage wants after the Arrow Club for them screwing this all up, but while he rushes the Ducks, Torbevito gets Fin out of the ring. But then Kage reels Torbevito in! Kage pops Torbevito up into the Electric Chair Lift! But Scaly gets in and choke grips Kage! Torbevito gets away, Scaly prepares his other hand, but here comes LINK! The new Mr. Eventide rushes out with a chair! He swings on the Arrow Club and they all run away! The Arrow Club hold up all their gold, will they get another chance at the top prize?
As for Link and Kage, they stop staring the Arrow Club down, to stare each other down. Sahasrahla brings the Triforce Championship over, still Kage’s possession because of Champion’s Advantage. But Link being Mr. Eventide, he’s coming for that belt soon enough. Both brothers look at the belt, and then Kage raises it up as he stares Link square in the eyes. It seems that at Clash of Fates 3, things come full circle for the Hero of Hyrule and his shadow. Who will win this rematch one full year in the making?
My Thoughts:
Sorry if that finish to the main event felt very WWE/Vince McMahon, but perhaps instead of Winner Takes All, I should’ve written this as a double header. But writing the double header would have been a lot more to put into this than I could muster, knowing NJPW’s G1 Climax was coming back around with a very big schedule. And Arrow Club are meant to be Tweeners, so at some point, they have to show their Heel side after being the comparative Faces against GZA and Tali. But even without the Triforce Championship, that faction is the first GOLDEN faction, with everyone having a title, so they’ll be just fine in the HPW standings.

PLAY BY PLAY
HPW and HXS TV set the scene!
Anniversaries are always important dates to remember, but they aren’t always accompanied with fond memories. For the Hero of Hyrule, Link, he was the inaugural HPW Triforce Champion. But that meant there had to be two who lost that match: Ganon and Zelda. But now, there’s a chance the dynamic could flip upside-down! Ganon is back in the Triforce Tournament Triple Threat Finals, though through a very controversial assist. Will he finally win the trophy? Or will someone trump the Gerudo Ace? As for the Princess of Hyrule, she’s going all in, making this her last chance at the world title! Will Zelda finally stand at the pinnacle of HPW?
As for the other 21 stars that lost in this year’s tournament, they all converge in the traditional battle royal! All 21 are fighting for gold, and they can have their pick! Death Mountain Championship? Termina Championship? Goddess Championship? Whoever wins can pick one of those out as their target! And while those 21 go for gold, Majora has issued an Open Challenge for the Million Rupee Championship! Many are eager to challenge for it, but the only catch is… they must face the MOON MADNESS! A new stipulation every three minutes, you’d have to be crazy to try! Who will risk their mind and body for a taste of glory?
But first! All this gold means nothing when there’s a grudge to settle! The Dame of the Dunes beat Buliara & Riju, but will she complete the trifecta? Or will Aveil avenge the Gerudo Sisterhood? The HPW Triforce Anniversary special in Central Hyrule starts now!
Tali w/ Shabonne VS Aveil!
The Gerudo Sisterhood grudge has reached the trilogy! But while the Dame of the Dunes is 2-0, she’s run into the Desert Flower! Will Tali punctuate the third act with another victory? Or will it be “third time’s the charm” in slapping some sense into her?

Million Rupee Championship Moon Madness Match: Majora VS ???
The Monster Mask took this belt back for the UnderWorld Order, still cheating Kevin Gibdo even though it was all No Disqualifications style matches. But now, he’ll have to put his money where his mouth is, facing a mystery opponent! Will Majora regret making such a gamble? Or will he still be worth his weight in gold?
Everyone watches the ramp for Majora’s opponent, and out walks Chancellor Cole? Well, he surely can’t be the one, but “Ladies and gentlemen,” he gives his introduction as “the Special Counsel for The Man with the Iron Claw, who will soon adorn it with the most lavish title in the land! That man is none other than BYRRRNE…! LOKOMAAA~!” Obviously that’s who Cole was bringing along. The introductions don’t really need to be made, but the belt is raised, and the gamble begins with the first spin of the wheel! They start with… FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!
Falls Count Anywhere!
Well that makes this easy. Not only can these two do anything, they can go anywhere! The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally, Majora and Byrne feel things out, then Majora kicks Byrne low!

Majora stalks Byrne to the ramp, and fans boo more as Majora SMACKS Byrne again! Byrne falls over, Cole protests, but Majora threatens Cole now. Majora goes back to Byrne, but Byrne grabs the chair with his iron claw! The two fight over the chair, Majora swings Byrne into the post! Majora then takes aim, but Byrne dodges!

Bull Rope Match!
The ring crew fetches the bull rope, the ref tells Majora to stop, but Majora drags Byrne up. Majora puts Byrne in the ring, covers, but the ref says no, they have to put the bull rope on first. Majora gets mad but these are technically the rules he established. Majora demands they bring the rope, the crewman gives the rope to the ref, and the ref gives Majora one end.

Zelda slowly looks over at Link and shouts, “What, the absolute f-” Link stops her there by saying she’s the one weaponizing a kiss! The fans are going wild as Link and Zelda stare down and stand up, their match turning into a lover’s spat! Zelda SLAPS, SLAPS, and SLAPS, but Link shoots in and fireman’s carries! Zelda slips free, shoves Link, but Link comes back, into a KNEE down low! Zelda then scoops and SHEIKAH DRIVER!!! Cover, ZELDA WINS!!!
Winner: Zelda, by pinfall (NEW Undisputed HPW Triforce World Champion)
The arena erupts as Zelda suddenly shuts this down! It’s a standing ovation while both Link and Zelda down, exhausted from this true epic! The fans continue to applaud, and then Zelda slowly sits back up. She scoots around so she can look at Link. They talk while Zelda rests her forehead on his. They both seem rather emotional, but also smiling. Zelda helps Link stand up, and Nick Foolyere returns so that he can present the title to the new champion. Zelda tears up even more as he helps her put it around her waist for the very first time. The fans cheer more as Foolyere fetches a microphone for Zelda to speak.
Fans chant, “You Deserve It!” and Zelda beams with a big smile. She wipes away a tear, thanks everyone for saying that. “This is so surreal. I know there are many of you who have supported me since day one, and I could spend forever telling you how much that means to me. I know my biggest supporters are actually here in this ring. My father, Nicholas Foolyere, and of course, Link. I could spend forever telling you two how much you mean to me, and I don’t think it’d be enough. But I do want to say that-” Wait, there’s a commotion, and Ganon is storming his way down the ramp, Triforce Trophy in hand, and The Dark Forces at his back.
Link and Zelda stand their ground, even though this is 7v2. But then Yunobo, Sidon, Thunderbird, and a few others from the battle royal hurry out from backstage to flank The Dark Forces from behind! The fans cheer as Ganon and his goons find themselves surrounded in a more even fight! But then Tali slithers in from the crowd side?! Shabonne shouts, “SUP, CHAMP?!” This gets Link and Zelda to turn around, Tali runs up, and Link shoves Zelda aside! Link takes the SPEAR!! Zelda is furious and she rushes Tali! They brawl, things spill out to the floor, and the rest of the Dark Forces brawl with Yunubo and the others!
The fans are going nuts as it is chaos all over ringside! Security, referees and even producers rush out but stopping this is easier said than done! Tali RAMS Zelda into steel steps, knocking them apart! Ganon storms up, Tali strips the belt off of Zelda, and she hands it to Ganon! Is Tali with the Dark Forces now?! Ganon grins as he sees Link sputtering back up. Ganon slides into the ring, and Tali drags Zelda up to make her watch as Ganon CLOBBERS Link with the belt!! Zelda is furious but Tali holds her down with an armlock! Link flounders out of the ring, Zant brings out handcuffs! Zant and Tali push Zelda against the apron so they can cuff one of her hands!
Tali overpowers Zelda and cuffs her to the middle rope! Ganon laughs as the Dark Forces block the way from the stage to the ramp! No one can get through as Zant fetches Link, who is busted open from the belt shot! Ganon taunts Zelda while holding up the title. Zelda tries to hit Ganon but the cuff keeps her anchored at the ropes! Zant feeds Link to Ganon for a GANON BOMB!! Zelda is enraged but she can’t get free! Ganon rains down fists on Link, painting himself with Link’s blood! Ganon even tastes the blood, and the fans tell Ganon he’s sick! Ganon shoves Link at Zelda, she reaches out for Link’s hand, but then Ganon drags Link away from her!
Ganon mockingly says, “Congratulations, Princess!” before he sits Link up, and rains down ELBOW after ELBOW after ELBOW! Link is already a ragdoll but Ganon keeps going! The fans boo as hard as they can, Zelda now has tears of anger in her eyes, but Shabonne is cheering for her new boss! “GANON~! GANON GANON GANON~! GANON~, GANON~!” Ganon shoves Link down, Tali BOOTS Zelda down, and Ganon picks up the Triforce World Championship again. Ganon holds it up as he stands over Link, and Zelda is down at the ropes, her one arm up because of the cuffs. Zelda’s moment of triumph has been utterly ruined, but is the future only going to grow darker?
My Thoughts:
Welp, another under-the-wire finish on writing this. I’ll power through to make sure Wrestling Is Life for May isn’t like that. But at the same time, I really like how everything turned out for this one, and there was some very recent developments in actual pro-wrestling that helped inspire the ending there. To be fair, I have never done a beatdown to close a show, so it works out that the first one is in year six, closing out the first of the HPW Big Four (the anniversary, Treasure Island, Clash of Fates, and of course HyruleMania). Also, the only other ideas I had were either Zelda goes Heel, or this was a “fake Zelda” probably portrayed by Hilda, and neither of those sat right with me.

Bandwagon Nerds #282: Daddy Ganon & A Glass of Wine
A double dose of Daredevil, major Zelda news, a massive Avengers: Doomsday reveal, and Villain Madness Round of 32 matchups highlight a huge week!
This week, the NERDS give you a double dose of Daredevil: Born Again. Disney caught most of us by surprise as it dropped two very different but very good Episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. The guys break it all down for you as Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk both cross the line and revert into Daredevil and The Kingpin. Where will things go from here? Nintendo made a massive splash as it announced the long-rumored Legend of Zelda live-action movie will be released in 2027, leading the NERDS to speculate about who will be cast in the key roles. Speaking of casting, the MCU had an epic reveal of an enormous number of people and characters that will appear in Avengers: Doomsday. Which names surprised us, and which names were we surprised to see left off the roster (so far)? Villain Madness continues with Round of 32 matchups in the Cosmic and Criminally Insane regions, and all we can say is one region saw some major upsets. All that and of course Whatcha Watchin”?
