litigious sense. The real notoriety, the kind predisposed for the men behind
the curtain and not for silly little people who create guides, should go to
high emperor executive producer, Mr. Miyamoto, Director Eiji Aonuma, the two
talented script writers, Aya Kyogoku and Takayuki Ikkaku, all the fabulous
translators that roam the dank halls of NOA and only seldom see light, and
anybody else associated with that avant-garde think tank who tarnished many
days writing the story and dialogue.
I am simply the middleman in this process. If you are going to take quotes,
obviously everybody has free enterprise over that, but if you're going to take
the FAQ in its totality, all this humble public servant wants is a microcosm of
all his hard work to show up in a one line credit after spending hours wringing
his knowledge and time out like a ubiquitous savant.
This game is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are

/\ iii. Foreword
/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/______\ This is of course the second guide I have partaken in, the first
/ \ / \ being a Gold Medal Guide I wrote for the oft-shunned but oddly
/ \ / \ addictive Star Fox Assault. It's a draughty little game, open
/ \/ \ as cannon fodder to those more willing to mince their teeth
-------------- at its flaws, but it exposed to me the world of guide
crafting, a world I have only approached with a detached torpidity since my
last guide, one where I can espouse my love affair with the game and yet am
still on due trajectory to paint around its corners and write anything but a
full length guide. Twilight Princess was a likely candidate, but the
availability of the Wii sunk that battle ship rather swiftly as I spent two
weeks on a gladiatorial blood lust making Walmart employers quit in a fit of
rage, swearing they'd die happy if they never heard the word Wii again.
No, those kinds of things are left to better men with more tact and guile and a
saintly air of patience that's transcendental to my sophomoric, pagan-like,
almost barbaric need for things in the immediate. So without a current Twilight
Princess game script guide on the site, and with the original caloric
equivalent of a robot on wheels, I set on a longitudinal course to craft this
guide. The very nature of an FAQ presupposes that there are questions to be
asked. Perhaps the demand for a game script doesn't presuppose that people are
starving for it, but for everybody that loves the worlds and characters of
Zelda, or for anybody that is in a timeline debate and simply wants to prove
somebody wrong with a line of dialogue, this FAQ is for you, Real Man of
Genius.
As I set out to author this guide, one of the first rivers I came to was the
foreword. Stephen King once said that there are two people who read the
author's foreword: the editor and the author's closest friends and family.
People who write, whether it be for a guide or magazine article or a book, are
nefariously wordy creatures that bath in their ability to write distended
soliloquies. This is quite literally a fore word, giving the author a chance to
be out of character, out of book. The corollary is that the writer in character
is much more interesting. In this case I might not be the writer of these
words, but the principle is the same. For the writer loves to write, and that
is why he wants to write, even if no one is reading. And given that there is no
editor and that the intended readership is ambiguous at best with regards to
author relationship, it is doubtful that anyone will read this. If you do, you
are a braver man than most.
/\ iv. Zelda Storyline
/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/______\ I am a self-proclaimed, dyed-in-the-wool arteest (with two E's).
/ \ / \ Thus I approach the storyline like an arteest would. As my
/ \ / \ culinary tastes in storytelling goes, I enjoy casting my net on
/ \/ \ a wide-ranging group. Lord of the Rings. Adaptation. Castaway.
-------------- Redwall. Sword of Shannara. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Goldeneye. Rudy. The last one says a lot about the movie since I hold Notre
Dame in particular contempt (my uncle authored the name Crying Irish, and I
find it encapsulates the Notre Dame mentality rather strikingly).
There are longer stories than Zelda. There are most certainly deeper stories
than Zelda. Growing up though, I had a reverential appreciation for few worlds.
Hyrule towered above the rest not because the story was long, nor because it
was deep, but because it was mythical, alluring, a capitulation to Mr.
Miyamoto's lavish scope and altruistic mindscape that lends in full force to
the imagery and poetry and spiritual essence of the game. Zelda was my Tolkein.
It was the story I had on the raised platform so I wouldn't get bowled over by
a giant stone ball Indiana Jones style. Every time I say the word Hyrule a
frictionless electrical pulse runs up my spine and does an Evel Knievel U-turn
back down. Ganon ignites a brooding feeling without having that geekish fantasy
flair. Perhaps those feelings were implanted there like an alien chip because
the games are just that damned good, but that alone speaks to Nintendo's
storytelling prowess, not how pretentiously airy and mysterious and convoluted
they try to be. In the grip of a bad storyteller a complicated story can turn
to horribly thick pancake batter. Nintendo does not get in the way of the
eternal battle between Link and Ganon in the realm of Hyrule. It's smooth, like
water.
I hold the triumvirate of theme, atmosphere, and setting aloft in the art of
videogame storytelling. Theme because stories lost in the woods are about as
useful as fighting a bear with a pogo stick. Atmosphere and setting because
you're busy playing the game; these two things are assistants, not divergences.
Cutscenes are preferable, but upon further play throughs they knife the game
and rift it apart. Music and art and tone are appreciable vehicles while you
play. Cutscenes have their place, but I like them not because they assist with
plot, after all Nintendo's hardly Hemmingway or Hawthorne or King, or even
Stone or Kaufman in the cinematic realm, and not because Nintendo has a gritty
penchant for dialogue, but because they have a knack for stark imagery that
mimeographs the feeling of what Zelda is all about: adventure wound with
boundless captivation. The original Zelda was made in a primordial age before
cutscenes and Hollywood envy and the beanstalk clutching upwards toward the
final end of videogames as a serious art form, but it still had a bountiful
atmosphere and an amorous setting.
Some can appreciate this figurative Cro-Magnon because it was one of those
Promethean games that gave fire to the industry, and some can appreciate it
because the old school spirit never left, while others hate it because it is
basic and it is rudimentary and it is a literal Cro-Magnon. My appreciation
gestates because I can still fall in love with Zelda and the Triforce and the
feeling that there's a secret behind every bush even long after I've tried
burning every bush in Hyrule with a magical candle. Sure it's cheap and it's
limited and it's maddeningly frustrating under a certain microscope, but tone
and atmosphere are timeless entrepreneurs. Pressed under a different intonation
the game could be as silly as finding a princess in another castle, but Zelda
still remains epic to this day and the Triforce just as alluring. The three
golden triangles merely had humble beginnings as two powerful artifacts. It was
not until Link to the Past where it espoused such cogent and cohesive themes.
"Money is the root of all evil" is a common colloquialism, but it should be
amended to say that selfishness is the root of all evil. The primordial
selfishness of humanity has subsisted in Zelda since the beginning, perhaps
explaining Ganon's pigness in Legend of Zelda.
This theme has been so tautly wound through the Zelda series that it sings. The
ancient goddesses of legend wove Hyrule in their imagery and likeness in
strands of wisdom, courage, and power. Left behind in their brevity was the
Golden Power, a wish-granting relic of magnanimous stature and influence,
shining upon the gold-hewed shores of the Sacred Realm. It did not go unnoticed
from covetous eyes, however, and in a series of brutal Hylian conflicts between
esteemed and greedy men, blood was spilled because man exists in a solitary
jungle where the lust of his heart is king. The knowledge of the path to the
power of the Sacred Realm remained a hidden entity, that was until Ganon, a
powerful sorcerer and the leader of a band of thieves, stumbled upon the Sacred
Realm one day. Having brutally slain his own men, he took the Golden Power in
his hands and threatened to make the kingdom of Hyrule his own.
Many of these themes are echoed in Twilight Princess, in particular amongst
Jovani and Zant. Not every intention for the Golden Power was ill-gotten, but
as a wise man once said, it is a paradox how one could be smart enough to
accumulate wealth yet stupid enough to want it. In Link to the Past any man
that stumbled upon the gate to the Golden Power would fall into a realm of
darkness and be transfigured into a beast that summarized the reflection of his
own heart, even though a wolf is more fitting for Link than a rabbit. These
ideas are neat and clean and natural and could probably pass a white glove
inspection. Many stories are horribly smudged by the author's fingerprints. One
writer once described this as a grotesquerie. A story without author
interference has a demonstrable advantage.
Humans being what they are, melodramatically emotional and clingy creatures, it
is a tried and true axiom of storytelling that a thematically simple story can
pack the roundhouse punch of Chuck Norris if it's well told. Needlessly complex
and psychoanalytically interesting can flat line emotionally (another adverb
and that sentence would've capsize). Zelda has a mathematical precision. Its
history is told through every ancient and forlorn statue. Its story basks
implicitly in its atmosphere. Not a word of dialogue is spoken when Link pulls
the Master Sword from its place, and yet its one of the definitive moments in
videogame history. And when the Essence of the Triforce whispers in secret
wishes of a young hero and the Master Sword is superlatively reposed in its
pedestal for the rest of eternity, the Legend of Zelda did not draw to its end.
A storyline discussion without invoking the timeline debate is like a steroid
discussion without Barry Bonds. Timeline debates are perpetually murky waters.
I just want to abridge the entire thesis and appreciate the artistry and beauty
that is the timeline. The dichotomy of that is Zelda broad-brushed in a series
of organizable facts. Their basis is mathematical principle. To me that is cold
and unnerving. As Doc Oc said in Spiderman 2, they can't understand T.S.
Elliot, but I can't understand the theory of relativity.
That is not to say that they cannot appreciate the artistic merit and that I
cannot appreciate all of the facts. Outside of Four Swords Adventure there is
not a Zelda storyline fact that I do not know and that I have not organized
alphabetically in my own color-coded Rolodex. However, I find certain timeline
theories prudish at best. I simply want the emancipation of all the pseudo
science talk so I can amend it all down to a neat one-line explanation that
only has a facsimile of some of the details to back it up. The creators are
human, and to err is human, so the details are in error.
I still love the details, after all without details there is no cohesion in the
slightest; they simply are wont to betray the timeline enthusiast since facts
only humbly align when trying to form a massive web between all of the games
with infinite connections and continuity. This might sound arbitrary at best,
but without the creators we have nothing, and so to look at the intentions of
the creators and appreciate their humanism is in my mind the best amiable
guiding light. That is to say some people take every word literally. I say that
the creators had intentions, some of them not always clear, but nothing was
hewn into the story by accident. It was put in there with purpose. Therefore we
must understand that purpose if we are to arrive at an appropriate conclusion.
But the different intonations and biases and foundations people come to the
table with fuel the debates like a self-sustaining toy train. As long as the
creators keep igniting controversy, the fossil fuel will never run dry. At the
bottom of this guide I give my personal thoughts on timeline and storyline
theories, not all of which I truly believe but the culmination of which I find
fascinating. You are free to check them out at will.
/\ v. Guide Format
/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/______\ This guide is formatted to allow the ultimate in streamline
/ \ / \ technology while keeping the totality of the script in mind. As
/ \ / \ you can see, most of this guide is structured in such a way
/ \/ \ that it looks like a movie script with acts and chapters and
-------------- dialogue and actions with growing empathy. I can't say that
this will be sent off to New Line, but it should make it easier for the reader.
GENERAL GUIDE FORMAT
Formatting this guide was mystifying in a sense because I had two general
derivatives: I could either exclude in the main script the dialogue not born
out of the necessary progression of the story or include in the main game
script everything up to a certain point. The former sounded neat and ordered
with a naturally seismic divide between necessary and unnecessary, but what is
considered necessary? For instance if you talk to Sera at the beginning of the
game, she'll tell you about her cat, but it's not necessary. Other examples are
even more hazy and transluscent. In fact most dialogue tends to pertain to
Link's main goal. Do I section off all of Colin's early lines about the fishing
rod from the necessarily lines about the fishing rod? Do all of the villagers'
lines at the beginning of the game really need to be separated from the rest?
No, instead I arranged all of the dialogue in a natural progression in respects
to what section of the game it inhabits. However, for the sake of continuity,
it would make little sense to dump dialogue from Ordon Village in the middle of
Snowpeak as it would fissure the flow of the game, so the final section of the
game where Ordon Village becomes a necessity, the quest for the sword and
shield, becomes the breaking point for the dialogue being dumped into the
optional section. This format is overlaid for most other villages and towns,
although if the player needs to return for whatever reason, such as the quest
for Ilia's memory, that would go in the main game script.
Corralled into their own sections, this guide also includes nearly every other
line of dialogue imaginable in this game. Some of them, like Coro's lantern
shop, are necessarily for the completion of the game, but they can also be
found in their respective places.
SCRIPT FORMAT
Typically, the last character that was mentioned in caps is the one that's
still talking. That's subject to being interrupted momentarily by an action.
But for the most part each line without a line break signifies one box of
dialogue in the game. Think of the line break like pressing A in the game.
You're turning the page to the next box of dialogue. Two separate chunks of
dialogue with two line breaks in between is a moment in the game where a
character stops talking to you but you reengaged dialogue and they still have
something new to say. These are generally the rule of the road here.
The other rule of Zelda Script Club...besides beating each other senseless to
satiate the equivalent of a primordial stress ball and standing outside my
house with the faint hope I might offer you sanctuary inside, which you will
do, by the way...is that everything flows from a logistical point of view story
wise. Much of the dialogue inhabiting the game is meant to be tackled in only a
faint recollection of an order, but I structured them in such a way that you
could read them and almost feel like you're reading an actual script. It all
has purpose and clearly defined meaning and an actual method to the madness in
how they're ordered.
Besides that there are a lot of yes/no questions and some branching responses
you can only get by performing certain actions. Most of those are included in a
logical order, too. I tried to write in every line of dialogue I could possibly
find. Also, many lines of dialogue are repeated, and the repeated lines are
either kept or excised based on what I deemed fair (for instance if a character
gives you the same line of dialogue after a yes/no question, it will probably
be omitted).
One final note. Very rarely you will find a line of dialogue that is bracketed
on either side by parentheses. These denote an alternate bit of dialogue you
might get depending on the circumstance but wasn't worth typing out again.
/\ vi. Index
/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/______\ Because the dialogue in Twilight Princess is so massive, and
/ \ / \ because the ordering of this guide might be a little more
/ \ / \ convoluted than previously hoped, I have set up and organized
/ \/ \ an index so a line of dialogue from a specific character might
-------------- be easier radared in and pinpointed. The more important the
character, the more premium content they are given. Use it with care.
All dialogue from the main script is categorized by act and chapter. For
instance a line from Act Five Chapter Two is listed as 5.2. If it's in an
appendix, the appendix letter is in front of it, so B1 would mean the first
part of Appendix B, the Baby Goron Shop. Appendix A is further broken down, so
A1.2 would be the Ordon Village dialogue after the Goron Mines.

Chapter I S u b s e r v i e n t T w i l i g h t
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Subservient Twilight
RUSL
Tell me...Do you ever feel a strange sadness as dusk falls?
They say it's the only time when our world intersects with theirs...
...The only time we can feel the lingering regrets of spirits who have left our
world.
That is why loneliness always pervades the hour of twilight...
But enough talk of sadness...I have a favor to ask of you, Link.
I was supposed to deliver something to the royal family of Hyrule the day after
tomorrow...
Yes, it was a task set to me by the mayor, but...would you go in my stead?
You have...never been to Hyrule, right?
In the kingdom of Hyrule there is a great castle, and around it is Castle Town,
a community far bigger than our little village.
...And far bigger than Hyrule is the rest of the world the gods created.
You should look upon it all with your own eyes.
It is getting late... We should head back to the village. I will talk to the
mayor about this matter.
[They depart for Link's house, but the hour is late, so Rusl continues home,
leaving Link in the bloom of the twilight - We see Ilia court Epona indolently
to the hot springs as Fado rushes to Link's house, a yell passing his lips]
FADO
Hey! Link! You there?
Hey, you mind helpin' me herd the goats?
They ain't listenin' to me lately!
Hey, where's Epona?
[The diminishing light cascades into Link's house He leaves, abiding Fado's
company upon the ground below]
C'mon, now, hurry on up an' bring Epona with you.
[If Link tries to leave for Ordon Village]
Hey hey, where are you goin' without Epona?
Hurry on up an' bring her with you, bud.
[Link rushes through the shadowy coat of the forest, which parts ways to let in
the path to the springs, where he finds Ilia bathing Epona in the eerie glow of
the twilight]
ILIA
Oh, hi, Link.
I washed Epona for you!
Epona is a girl too, so you have to treat her nice like one!
Oh, but listen, Link...
Could you do something for me?
Can you use a piece of grass to play that song for me? You know, the one that
Epona likes?
I tried to play it for Epona, but I just can't seem to play it the way you can,
Link.
[Link plucks a reed from the ground and blows into it]
It's such a nice melody...
Epona looks happy.
Well, she's all prettied up now, so I suppose you can ride her back. But don't
you make her do too much, OK?
What's the matter? Aren't you going to help out at the ranch?
[Straddling Epona, Link returns to Ordon Village, a homely ranch at the foot of
Hyrule, where the villagers gather in clusters]
SERA
Ah, if it isn't young Link. Are you going to close down the ranch for the day?
I just closed the shop, myself.
I'm sure you know all about the mischievous monkeys that've been coming into
the village lately... Those things worry me a bit.
I'd better lock up tight here... I couldn't stand to have any more goods
stolen...
Can't trust that good-for-nothing husband to do anything right...
BETH
C'mon, Dad! You can't catch a silly little monkey?
HANCH
Uhh... Well... No. No, I can't.
SERA
Oh... Listen to us babble on. I didn't mean to keep you.
All right, off to work with you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SERA
Why don't you stop by and do a little shopping some other time?
BETH
Well... Have a good time at work, Link!
HANCH
...And be careful out there!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COLIN
Oh... Hi, Link.
I'm making you a fishing rod, y'know!
All I have left to do is paint it, so get ready for fishing!
I just need to finish painting it today...
Then I need my dad to look it over...
My dad, he always has to stick his nose in everything, y'know...
RUSL
Ah, great timing, Link! There was something I had forgotten to tell you.
My son Colin is making a fishing rod so the two of you can play together.
He should finish it today, so you come get it at the house tomorrow.
Now, it is Colin's first fishing rod, so it may not be the best one out
there...but you will be kind and use it anyway, right?
See you tomorrow!
ULI
Good evening, Link. This is a lovely sunset, is it not?
It is kind of you to spend time with my husband, you know... It gives me time
for myself!
Oh, do you have to go put the livestock to bed now?
Well, you should go to the ranch before the sun goes down.
MAYOR BO
Oh. Link.
Looks like you're goin' to help Fado. Good job.
He headed up to the ranch ahead of you.
You go finish up your chores before the sun goes down.
Go on. Get up to the ranch and help out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FADO
Sorry to get you over here in such a hurry, Link!
These guys have been awful skittish lately. They won't listen to a word I say.
Sorry to ask, bud, but how's about you an' Epona herd 'em into the barn real
quick?
We ain't got much time, so you think you can do it for me?
(No)
I'm bettin' that with you two helpin' out, it'll be done in no time.
Just say the word once y'all are ready to get started!
Y'all about ready to start herdin' these goats?
(Yes)
Much obliged there, bud! OK, then, go on an' herd all these little scamps into
the barn for me!
Dang, if it ain't a good thing y'all came!
OK, then! Herd them goats into the barn with Epona!
[The confluence of goats shrivels and expands like a school of pilot fish as
Link herds them into the barn]
Link, Epona... Much obliged to both of y'all!
I can cover everythin' tomorrow without havin' to trouble you, so just sit back
an' relax, bud.
Oh... But, uh, how 'bout today? Wanna practice with fences?
Just wait a spell, bud. I'll get them fences set up.
Hoo, sorry that took so long! OK, then! Y'all ride all you want!
Y'all get tired of ridin', just jump the gate an' head back into the village,
OK, bud?
Ain't nothin' cooler than fence jumpin' done just right!
If y'all press A to dash just as you get near a fence, y'all can jump over the
middle of it.
Oh, an' if y'all get tired of ridin', just go ahead an' jump the gate to head
back to the village. I'll put everythin' away today!

Chapter II C a t H a n d l e r

Cat Handler
TALO (Calling up to Link's house)
Hey, wake up, Link! It's morning already!
[Inside Link is nimble and awake He goes outside, and the westerly sun
dissolves whatever haze is left over his eyes]
Oh, Link! Didja hear?
They're selling a slingshot at the store right now! A SLINGSHOT!
MALO
I wonder how powerful it is... I... I need... I must try it...
BETH
Talo, if you and Malo want it so badly, just buy it at my parents' shop!
TALO
Do you see any Rupees in my hand? I can't afford that thing! C'mon, Beth, can't
you just loan it to us for a while?
BETH
You know I'd get in trouble for that! If you two want it, save up your
allowances or something.
MALO
But... our allowances are terrible... Aww, I wish I was born into a family with
a slingshot instead of one with a waterwheel...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
C'mon, Beth. We just want to LOOK at it a little! So can you get it? The
slingshot? From the shop?
MALO
...Yeah, and if you can't do that, let's just trade families, OK?
BETH
KNOCK IT OFF!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Colin, angled away from the rest of the children, dutifully guards Epona]
COLIN
Hi, Link... You have the day off work today, right?
So...I finished the fishing rod I was making.
Link, I figured I'd give it to you first thing in the morning, but...
My dad said, "You just wait until Link comes to get it!" So I didn't bring it
to you...
It's also the first day off in a while for Epona, right? She must be happy...
Link, my mom has the fishing rod I made for you. Aww, I wish I'd brought it
with me...
(Link tries to saddle up Epona]
You have the day off from work, don't you, Link? You have to give Epona a day
off, too. Poor girl...
Why don't you let Epona take the day off, too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HANCH
Well hey, 'morning, Link. Got a day off from work today, m'boy?
Not me. The wife's been hassling me... Today's the day to restock our store.
Look! See? Up there in that tree... If you use C and then (analog stick) or
(wand) to move the cursor around, you can get a better view.
Yeah, some Ordon bees built themselves a fine nest up there, and I was thinking
about knocking it down...
Our cat hasn't come home since yesterday, so the wife's in a bad mood. At the
very least, I need to bring something home to her...
I want to knock that nest down so I can get the bee larva inside!
Our cat hasn't come home since yesterday, so the wife's been in an awful
mood... I don't want to make her even angrier...
SERA
Ohhhh...
Awww...
...Oh, my... It's young Link...
...Welcome, m'dear.
You... You didn't happen to see my little cat out there, did you?
He ate the fish we were going to have for supper last night, and I gave him a
good scolding...but then he went out and hasn't returned...
I'm so fraught with worry for him... I've exhausted myself...
Ohhhh...
I'm terribly sorry...but my mind is so filled with thoughts of my little cat
that I simply can't deal with costumers right now...
Ohhh... If I had known this was going to happen, I would have let my little
kitty eat fish to his heart's content...
Link, m'dear... I'm sorry, but would you leave me be? I'll serve you milk
later.
Ohhhh...
I'm terribly sorry...but my mind is just filled with thoughts of my kitty right
now...
I'll bet he's getting pretty hungry about now... He's probably longing for a
fish fresh out of the river...
HANCH
Huh?
Oh! Sorry! Sorry! Didn't realize it was you, Link.
I was thinking maybe I could knock it down by throwing rocks at it...
But, of course, it's so high up... It makes that pretty hard to do...
[Bees gravitate around their nest, buzzing like a million humming mouths
Hanch hurls a rock at it, hitting it square, agitating the bees - He breaks for
the river as they swoop in on him in a disorganized, throbbing squadron]
ULI
Oh, um, good morning to you.
If you are looking for my husband, he took his sword and left early this
morning.
But I must ask, Link...
You have not seen a cradle come floating by here, have you?
It is a baby's cradle made of finely woven tree bark...
Oh, such a misfortune... How far could it have drifted, I wonder...
What am I to do?
I made that cradle when my first child was born, and I have cherished it all
these years...
Just where could it have floated off to, I wonder...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAYOR BO
Mornin', Link.
Sounds like Fado's handlin' things at the ranch on his own today.
When he's up there alone, I always figure some calamity or other's gonna
happen...
FADO
WHOOOOOOOAAA!!!
A GOAT GOT LOOSE!
IT'S HEADIN' FOR TOWN!
SOMEBODY STOP IT!
[If Link whiffs]
MAYOR BO
Argh! The town's precious livestock...
THAT's why I'm uneasy about leavin' the ranch in Fado's hands...
If you plant your feet by holdin' down A and hang on to that goat, you'll calm
him down real quick.
If any more goats get loose, you be sure to grab 'em like that...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAYOR BO
The goats are gettin' out, the monkeys are causin' trouble... It's tough bein'
mayor!
FADO
WHOOOOOOOAAA!
'NOTHER LOOSE GOAT!
SOMEBODY STOP IT!
[If Link misses again]
MAYOR BO
Argh... Another one of the town's precious livestock...
Link... Get it right, lad! I want you to plant your feet by holdin' down A and
then grabbin' that critter...
[If Link overpowers the goat]
MAYOR BO
Aw... Fado did it again...
These goats have been awful skittish lately... You always gotta be on your
toes!
Sorry 'bout that, Link. But thanks to you, that goat didn't get away!
(That Fado... Looks like I'll be garnishin' the cost of that goat from his
wages!)
The goats are gettin' loose, the monkeys are causin' trouble... It's tough
bein' mayor!
You've heard 'bout 'em, right, Link? Those monkeys? Apparently they've been
comin' into the village lately.
If you see 'em causin' any trouble, can you teach 'em a lesson for me?
I've gotta wonder, what are wild monkeys doin' in town? Did the woods run out
of food?
At any rate, if you see 'em causin' any trouble, could you teach 'em a lesson
for me?
[Link tries to enter the Mayor's house]
Eh? Oh, did you need Ilia for somethin'?
Sorry, sonny, but I was told that if you came by today, I wasn't to let you
inside.
She's locked herself in her room, workin' like crazy on somethin' or other...
Sorry, sonny...but Ilia told me not to let you in today.
She'll be awful sore at me if I break my word.
She's the spittin' image of her late mother, that girl... Right down to her
strong will...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FADO
What's goin' on, Link? I thought I told y'all to take the day off, bud!
Everythin's fine 'round here! I'm keepin' a close eye on these scamps, an'
that's the truth.
What's the deal, bud?
If y'all got some free time, how's about you go spend it with them young
rascals?
Go on, now! Get goin', bud!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HANCH
That hurts... Ow...
If rocks won't work, then what am I supposed to do?
PERGIE
Hi, Link. Welcome.
If you're looking for my hubby, he took a break from working and went outside.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's taking a nap somewhere...
He's in the middle of making a shield for Colin's dad, Rusl, right at the
moment.
See it? Right over there. Though it looks like it's far from being done...
Sorry you came all this way to find him out and about...
Link!
My boys Malo and Talo aren't giving you headaches, are they?
If they are, you feel free to scold them anytime you like.
JAGGLE
Yo! There you are!
Check this out... You know Sera, at the general store? Well, isn't that her cat
over there?
He's just been sitting there next to my house, having a staring contest with
the creek.
You don't suppose he's thinking he's gonna catch a fish, do you? Ha ha ha! A
cat can't catch no fish!
Anyway, that's not what I was meaning to tell you about. I want you to take a
look at something...
See that grass growing there on the edge of that rock? Haven't I seen you
whistling with that stuff?
I figured it was pretty rare to see it growing in a place like that, so I
thought I'd let you know.
I bet you could hop across these rocks with just a quick little (analog up),
couldn't you?
What's that stuff thinking, growing on a rock like that?
I guess I just don't understand grass.
Well, since you're up here, why don't you use (analog up) to hop over there and
play a tune for me?
HANCH (if you break the bee hive with the hawk)
Owww... Using a hawk... Brilliant...
Maybe I'll start practicing my grass whistle...
JAGGLE
Call me crazy, but I could listen to that grass whistle all day long!
So, anyway... I guess I'll just get back to my lounging.
Wow, isn't this just ridiculously good weather?
Sure is peaceful...
[If Link punctures an entire pumpkin patch]
YO! DON'T WASTE FOOD!
[Link calls the hawk and rescues the cradle from the conniving hands of the
monkey]
ULI
Oh! Link! That cradle!
Did you go to the trouble of finding it for me? My thanks to you!
Oh, that reminds me! There is something I am supposed to give to you...
Do you think you could carry that cradle and come with me back to my house?
[Link carries the cradle to the house for Uli]
My thanks to you, Link.
Yes, yes... I had nearly forgotten... I am supposed to give you this...
All right... Here you go!
[Link receives the fishing rod carved by Colin]
It is a little...unpolished.
My son, Colin, made this under the instruction of his father.
You can use it if you like.
When my son Colin grows up, I want him to be just like you.
He really is a sweet boy... He can just be a little...timid.
COLIN
Oh, you got it... I hope you like it...
Aren't you off of work today, Link?
Epona finally has a day off, too...
[Link draws the fishing rod into the river and catches a Greengill, reprising
the allure of the cat, who bounds back to Sera with the fish skewered between
its jaws]
SERA
Oh, my, Link! You simply MUST hear this!
Just take a look! My little kitty Link came back!
And he brought a fish back with him. He was worried about me being angry!
Ohhh, just look... Isn't he so cute, the way he laps up that milk?
Say, m'dear, why don't you have some, too! I'm in a good mood, so it's on the
house today!
Oh, don't worry, you don't have to return the empty bottle, m'dear.
You can reuse it--you know, put something else in it. Recycling is a very
important thing, m'dear!
I'm sure YOU'D never do anything of the sort, but kids these days toss things
out like the whole world was disposable! It's criminal!
So, what do you say, m'dear? Is there anything you want today?
Feel free to look around using (analog stick).
Hey, don't just gawk at me! Check out my wares using (analog stick).
See you again soon!
Welcome, m'dear!
Interested in something? Take a looking using (analog stick).
The slingshot is 30 Rupees. Do you want to buy it, m'dear?
(I'll buy it.)
What are you doing buying a slingshot, you naughty thing? You're too old for
toys! Will you at least let the kids play with it?
Oh, I should tell you, if you happen to run out of pellets, you can also use
pumpkin seeds.

RUSL
Ah, just in time, Link! I just delivered something to your room!
Oh, I see you got the fishing rod. Colin will be pleased. And it works better
than you would think, right?
Well, have a good one...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
Link has a slingshot! WHOA!
BETH
Wow! You had enough money to buy it, Link?
MALO
Preparations complete...
TALO
OK, wow, this is great! Let's see how powerful that slingshot is! Hit the
targets AND those scarecrows!
BETH
I can't believe you two brats are so obsessed about this. It just shows what
little boys you both still are.
These two will never let it go, Link. Just show them.
First, use (wand) to aim.
[Link tries to leave]
TALO
Whoa, wait! Are you going somewhere, Link?
(No)
BETH
These two are obsessed with your slingshot. They won't shut up about it, so
can't you show it to them, pretty please?
MALO
...
(Yes)
BETH
Not that I know this for SURE, but I bet if you're out of pellets, you can use
plain old pumpkin seeds.
MALO
That's it, Beth... Enough lies. You HAVE to have used the slingshot before.
Admit it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
OK! This time, you have to get to the end, Link!
BETH
Ooh, he's gonna show it to us! You're so sweet, Link!
TALO
This time you have to hit the targets and the scarecrow so we can see how
powerful that thing is!
BETH
These two are just obsessed with that slingshot. Which makes sense, since
they're just little immature boys.
You know these brats will never let you get away, Link. You're going to have to
stick it out. Just point with (wand) to aim!
[Link talks to them]
TALO
What's wrong, Link?
BETH
I'm pretty sure that you go to the - screen to set the slingshot to B. Then you
press B to use it!
[Link talks to them again]
MALO
Hurry, shoot so we can see it...
TALO
Hurry up and show us!
BETH
I can teach you how to use it...
MALO
You go to the - screen and set the slingshot to B... Then you press B to fire.
It's not complicated.
[Link hits the target]
BETH AND TALO
Whoa! You hit it! You hit it!
BETH
It says in the slingshot manual that you can tilt (analog stick) to look around
while using the slingshot.
MALO
I thought you weren't interested, Beth...
[Link talks to them]
TALO
There's still some left! Hurry! Hurry!
BETH
I'm pretty sure you use (wand) to aim with (reticule) and tilt (analog stick)
to look around...
MALO
...You know too much.
[Link hits a few more targets]
TALO
There's still some left.
BETH
You point with (wand) to aim (reticule) and tilt (analog stick) to look around!
TALO
Beth, admit it. You've used this thing before.
[Link shoots most of the rest]
TALO
There are still targets left!
BETH
There are five in all!
MALO
Tilt (analog stick) to look around and then just aim (reticule) with (wand)...
[If you try to leave]
Link, you're so close!
[Link destroys all of the targets]
BETH, TALON, AND MALO
Whoa! Amazing, Link!
BETH
If you lock on with Z, then you don't have to aim with the cursor at all!
TALO
Gee, you really are amazing, Link!
BETH
By the way, Link...
Were you expecting Colin's dad to bring something by here? 'Cause he did.
TALO
Oh, yeah! That's right... What was that, anyway?!
MALO
I command you to tell us...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
What did Colin's dad bring?
BETH
Ooh, yeah! I can't stop thinking about it! Show me!
MALO
Hurry up... Hurry up!
[Link enters his house and draws the sword from the chest When he shows it to
the children, their eyes expand, and their minds are emblazed with thoughts of
swatting away forboding enemies]
BETH
Ooh, my! Isn't that a wooden sword, Link?
TALO
Whoa... She's right! Hey, can I see it for a sec?
Seriously! Lately these monkeys have been coming out of the woods and playing
tricks on us! We want to get them GOOD!
C'mon, teach us how to use a sword!
(No)
What?! Aw, gee, why not?!
MALO
Get off your high horse. Just show us.
TALO
C'mon, be a pal, Link...
Teach us how to use a sword!
(Yes)
YES!
[We enter the sword tutorial]
All right! First off, we wanna see THAT move!
The slice!
Um... You just swing (wand), right?
[Link tries to leave]
Where are you going?! You gotta teach me how to use a sword!
[Link scuffs the scarecrow across the chest, causing it to whiplash like a
springboard]
Wow! A vertical slice! Was that it? Was it?
I think I've seen you do a horizontal slice before, too. You know, by just
swinging (wand).
All right, next...
BETH
Ooh! Ooh! I wanna see that other move, Link!
Yeah, you target with Z and then just tilt (analog stick) forward and swing
(wand).
MALO
...Oh, please. The stab?
[If Link does the wrong move]
BETH
Ooh! That was SO great, Link.
MALO
...But that wasn't the stab...
BETH
What are you mumbling about?! Link did that on purpose!
Hey Link! Do it again! Show how you flex your muscles and stab! Y'know, target
with Z, then tilt (analog stick) forward and swing (wand)!
[Link stabs the scarecrow]
Ooh, Link! Just amazing!
Since you're at it, how about you show us that other move...
Y'know, that little twirly thing you do! I love that! What do you call it? A
spin attack?
MALO
You just lightly shake the Nunchuk side to side...
[If Link does the wrong move]
...Pssh! He didn't spin at all!
But all you do is lightly shake the Nunchuk from side to side...
[Link spin attacks]
BETH
Ooh, WOW! Thanks, Link!
I'm sorry you have to waste your time with these little brats when you must be
tired from doing all the important stuff you do!
TALO
Hey, wait!
You've gotta show us the jump attack before you go!
You know, the one where you go "HYAAH!" and leap through the air!
MALO
That thing you do with A while Z-targeting?
[If Link does the wrong move]
TALO
What are you doing? That's not it! The one where you JUMP!
MALO
Did I not say you use A while Z-targeting?
[Link performs the jump attack]

Journey Into Faron Woods
TALO
Thanks, Link!
So, uh, I... I think I get it... Kinda... Hmm... Maybe not...
So this means that anytime one of those naughty monkeys shows up...
WAH!
[A monkey appears from the periphery]
C'MERE, YOU!
[Talo, Malo, and Beth rush after it straight on its tail, plunging deep into
the woods]
COLIN
Everyone went into the woods... I wonder if they're OK...
Where'd everyone go off to?
[Link lags behind, only catching up to Beth and Malo when they pull up short of
the spring]
BETH
Talo and Malo went chasing like crazy people after that monkey.
I can't keep up with those two...
Link, you should chase after them on Epona!
MALO
...They went that way.
The rest is up to you, Link.
Human legs...too slow to catch monkeys...
[Link plunges into the shimmering bastion of Faron Woods The light dims as
the path snakes its way through the twisting belly of a cave At the other end
Link meets an ostensibly Bob Ross-inspired character named Coro in the shadows
of his hut]
CORO
Whoa! An Ordonian! Hey, guy!
Listen, I'm not sure you should be wandering around the woods without a
lantern. Just because it's daylight doesn't mean it's safe.
There are a ton of caves and dank spots around here that get pretty dark even
in the middle of the day.
Here! Go on, guy. Take this!
[Coro offers Link a lantern]
See, I sell lantern oil here...
I'm trying to drum up sales by giving away free lanterns! It's a business
tactic, guy!
See, as long as you've got oil to fuel your lantern, you can light your way and
set fire to stuff. They're the best!
Go on, guy! Try setting a fire under that big pot!
[Link sets the logs ablaze]
That's right! See! It's on fire, guy!
Yeah! You keep using that lantern anytime you feel the need. And if it runs out
of oil, you come see me to get it refilled!
Hey, guy! How's the oil level in your lantern?
I'll fill your lantern to the brim for just 20 rupees!
(No)
You keep using that lantern, and if you run out of oil, come see me, guy!
There's a really dark cave over thataway. You can get some use out of your
lantern there, for sure!
(Yes)
That's great, guy. Let me refill your lantern!
Hey, guy! How's the oil level in your lantern?
Huh... But you don't have an empty bottle, and your lantern is already full, am
I right, guy?
You keep using that lantern, and if it runs out of oil, come and see me, guy!
There's a really dark cave over thataway. You can get some use out of your
lantern there, for sure!
NARRATIVE
You found a play wooden sword! It's Talo's...
[Link thrusts the lantern out in front of him, luminous splotches of halo rings
guiding him through the winding cave on the other side of the ethereal forest
he finds a key, which he uses to dismount the gate to the Forest Temple]
TRILL
GRRRARRR! FWEEEEEEEEEEET! Hey! Punish the evildoers!
...Huh? Hey! The evildoers are all gone?
...Wait, are you...a costumer?
Oh! Hey! Sorry! So sorry! Please forgive me!
Welcome! Hey! Buy something! Anything!
[Talo is holed up inside of a cage in front of the Forest Temple]
TALO
HEEEEELP! Lemme out of here, please!
Hey, Link, c'mon! PLEASE! Help me! Set me free!
[Link splinters the bars on the cage with his wooden sword, and he escorts Talo
back to Ordon Village]
If you hadn't come, Link... Gee, me and that monkey would've gotten eaten,
probably!
She's actually a pretty nice gal, that monkey... She tried to protect me, so we
got captured together.
Um, Link...
You're not gonna mention this to my dad, are you?
He's always telling me to never, EVER go into the forest, 'cause he says it's
dangerous...
So you really can't tell him! Really! You have to promise!
RUSL
Link!
My son told me Talo disappeared into the woods and had not returned. I came as
soon as I heard...
But it looks like you have brought him home already... I apologize. Such a task
should not fall to you.
Tell me, have you noticed how strange this wood seems lately? I feel... uneasy
about what may lie in wait...
Anyway, Link...
Tomorrow is finally the day. You will be departing for Hyrule.
I think it is a good thing I have given this task to you...
Good luck! And return safely!
If you are lucky, you may even get to meet Princess Zelda! Ah ha ha!

FADO
Hey! Link!
So, almost time for you to get goin', huh, Link?
So how's about we finish up early today, bud?
Gotta get them chores done!
If y'all wanna get them goats back into the barn, then climb up onto Epona an'
holler at me.
[Link saddles Epona]
OK, then! Let's get started!
[Speak to Fado during the goat herding]
Hmm? What all's the matter, bud? Y'all lookin' to start over again, Link?
(No)
Well then, hurry on up an' get the job done!
(Yes)
Hoo! Now, THAT is dedication! Wantin' to do the job perfect!
OK, then. Let's try 'er again!
[If you herded slower than three minutes]
Hey, Link, what's wrong? Y'all were (time above three minutes} slower than
usual.
[If you herded faster than three minutes]
Hoo, boy, but y'all can herd! That was (time below three minutes) faster than
usual!
Well, that about wraps 'er up for today, so how's about y'all head on over to
the mayor's place?
So, Hyrule, huh? What kinda place is it, bud?
I ain't never so much as set foot outside Ordon...
Hoo... Y'all are makin' me jealous!
I'll cover for y'all at the ranch while you're gone!
Since you're goin' all the way to Hyrule, y'all better enjoy as much of the
trip as you can!
OK, then, y'all get outta here. Head on over to the mayor's place, an' make it
quick!
[Epona buckles, leaping the gate to Ordon Village Mayor Bo and Ilia await
Link in front of their house - Ilia rushes to Epona's side]
MAYOR BO
Oh, done herdin' for the day, Link?
Well, nice work.
The royal gift Rusl told you about is ready, so you should get ready for your
trip to Hyrule Castle.
Now, the royal family requested this gift specifically, so it's real special.
It'd be...bad...if the representative of Ordon were to be late for such an
occasion, you get me, lad?
ILIA
The path before you is long, my sweet horse...but please bear Link safely along
it.
Wait... What's this?
What's happened? She's injured, isn't she?
Link? How could you! You were pushing Epona too hard again! I bet you hurt her
leg jumping fences, didn't you!
MAYOR BO
Now, now Ilia. There's no need to get so hot with him...
ILIA
FATHER!
How can you be so easy on him? You're the MAYOR! You should start acting like
one!
You poor thing...
It'll be all right, Epona. I'll take you to the forest spring right now.
Once we soothe you in the spirit's spring, you'll feel better in no time!
MAYOR BO
W-Wait! Ilia!!!
Why, without Epona... The gift won't get delivered in time!
Oh, this won't do...
What's a father to do...
There's no way you'll be able to deliver our town's gift without Epona...
FADO
WHOOOOOOOAAA!
A GOAT GOT LOOSE!
IT'S HEADIN' FOR TOWN!
SOMEBODY STOP IT!
[Link wrangles the goat to the ground]
MAYOR BO
Sorry to always be puttin' you through this, Link.
Well... You'd better get goin' and figure out what you're gonna do about Epona.
Maybe you can head up to where Ilia is and see if she won't give you the horse
back.
Link, can't you find a way to get her to give back Epona?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ULI
Oh, hello there, Link. Are you going to start preparing for your departure?
It will seem lonely here while you are gone in Hyrule.
You must promise to take care of yourself and try not to do anything beyond
your abilities.
I am sure it will be a long journey. Good luck.
RUSL
The time has come!
Well, Link...
Can I at least interest you in one serious sword lesson once you return from
Hyrule?
You have talent with a blade. If you were to get proper instruction, I bet you
could be a very skilled swordsman.
You can let me know once you return, but I want you to give it some serious
consideration...
For now, put this village out of your thoughts and leave things to me.
PERGIE
Hi, Link.
I've heard a rumor about you! So, you're going to Hyrule Castle?
Isn't that just incredible... How wonderful for you!
But I suppose I should be apologizing to you for the trouble Talo and Malo
caused you yesterday...
They're a mischievous pair...but they'll always be a pair of angels to their
father and me.
Thank you so much.
Link, you take care. And you come back safe.
Link.
You take good care of yourself.
JAGGLE
Yo, Link.
Sorry if my little tykes were causing you trouble yesterday.
I gave them a ferocious scolding, so I hope you forgive them.
Oh, and hey... You be careful on your trip to Hyrule Castle, Link!
Must be nice to have such fine weather on the day of your departure...
I'm sure we don't need to worry about you...but you be careful all the same!
HANCH
Oh... Link.
Owww... Sorry about my face... The swelling won't go down...
Oh, I heard you're going out on an errand for the mayor, m'boy.
Must be nice... Me, I'm restocking again today...
Today I REALLY need to find something to bring back to sell at the shop...
The wife's in a nasty mood today, so I don't want to disappoint her again.
That'd be...bad.
SERA
Oh, Link. Back again?
M'dear, I hear you're going to the castle. Is that true?
Why, how nice... I'm sure the shops in Castle Town are quite ritzy!
So, are you shopping again today? You can check out my wares with (analog
stick).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
COLIN
......Link, are you going to see Ilia?
Maybe it's just me...but those guys don't normally let people through...
Um, Link, you think... You think we can go to see Ilia together?
Link... C'mon, let's go...
BETH
Link! Hello again!
Ooh! Ooh! You're going to Hyrule Castle, aren't you, Link?
That must be sooooo nice... I want to go to Hyrule, too!
I mean, there's nothing that looks good on me in this town...
Come back soon, Link!
When you get back, you have to tell me all about Castle Town!
TALO
Hey, we've been waiting for you, y'know, Link.
Yesterday was soooo much fun! Yeah, chasing that monkey was great!
I was just telling Malo here about how we wanted to show it to him, but we let
it go instead!
MALO
Oh, YOU didn't get caught, Talo?
TALO
Oh! Colin!
Way to spoil everything by telling your dad. Nice job.
MALO
Yeah, thanks a lot! We got scolded by our dad something awful. I thought it was
never gonna end...
TALO
I bet you're trying to go see Ilia, aren't you? Well, there's no way I'm gonna
let you pass!
Oh, hey, neat! Link! Lemme borrow that wooden sword!
If I'd had that wooden sword yesterday, I could've handled it all alone,
definitely!
C'mon! Let me borrow that wooden sword right now!
(Sorry, kid.)
What?! Why not? It's OK! Just lemme borrow it!
Look, we're never gonna let you leave here until you tell us we can borrow it,
Link!
If you wanna get past here, Colin, you'd better start talking, fast. Make Link
let us borrow that sword.
MALO
Sheesh, you ARE my brother, Talo...but that's pretty low...
TALO
Come on, be a pal, Link! I'll take real good care of it, so lemme borrow your
wooden sword!
(Sorry, but no.)
What?! Why not? Aw, I thought for sure you were gonna let me borrow it!
Colin! Start asking him to lemme borrow it, will ya?
MALO
I still don't understand that logic...
TALO
I'll be real careful when I use it, so c'mon! Lemme borrow your wooden sword!
{Sorry, but no.)
Gee, I thought for sure you'd lemme borrow it this time. Well, I guess neither
of us is going anywhere.
{I understand. OK.)
Whoa! YESSS!
With this thing...
I'll show 'em!
COLIN
Link.
Thanks...
Those guys are always teasing me...
What's so fun about swinging something like that around, anyway? I hate it...
It's scary...
But when I grow up, I'm gonna be just like you, Link!
I don't want to learn about swords or anything, but could you teach me how to
ride a horse sometime?
Can you?! You have to promise!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
Check out THESE sword moves, Malo!
If I'd had this wooden sword yesterday, I could've caught that naughty monkey,
don'tcha think?
MALO
Wait, weren't you just telling me how you DID catch the monkey? With Link?
TALO
Uh, yeah um, anyway... Practice! Time to practice!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
I bonked it with this wooden sword and caught it really quick, but I felt kinda
bad for it, so I let it go!
MALO
But you didn't have a wooden sword then, did you? Mr. Liar?
TALO
Uh, yeah um, anyway... Practice! Time to practice!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
Time to practice!
MALO
Something's fishy about this...
[Link enters the mossy forest path but is barred from entering the spring by a
rigid gate]
COLIN
Link!
ILIA
If you came to take Epona back, you can FORGET it!
Why don't you think about what you've done for a change! I won't open the gate
until you change your attitude!
COLIN
Ilia, you don't know what happened yesterday...
Listen, I don't know if she'll listen to me, but let me try to explain about
Talo and the monkey, OK?
You crawl in here through the tunnel in back while I do, Link.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ILIA
Give up! I don't care how long you wait there, I'm not letting you take Epona!
COLIN
You know how to get in here, right? Go around through the tunnel in the woods
while you can. Hurry up, Link!
I'll talk to her in the meantime...
[Link crawls through the tunnel into the spring]
ILIA
I had no idea... I hadn't heard the details about Talo's capture...
But, Colin...
So you still prefer your master over me, huh, Epona?
Don't worry about your horse, Link.
Fortunately, it looks like the injury isn't too serious. You two can go on
together.
But, Link...
Can you at least promise me this?
No matter what happens on your journey, don't try to do anything...out of your
league. Please.
Just come home safely.
[Boar hooves resonate from the implacable distance beyond the gate King
Bulblin splinters it, and his caravan knocks Link unconscious and pierces Ilia
with an arrow They saddle the children up, leaving Link floating in the
shimmering spring When Link awakes, an eerie twilight begins to descend upon
Faron, and as he runs, he sees a gate up ahead cloaked in an ancient darkness
He is pulled through]

Chapter I T h e W o r l d o f R u i n
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The World of Ruin
[Link awakes in a jail cell, transfigured into a feral beast A short chain
locks his leg into place, and a hopelessness breaks over him as he is doomed to
rot in the prison, that is until an imp creature appears from beyond the bars]
MIDNA
I found you!
Oooh! Aren't you scary!
Eeh hee! Are you sure you want to be doing that? Snarling and glaring at me?
Well, that's too bad...
I was planning on helping you...if you were nice.
Eeh hee! That's much better! You humans are obedient to a fault, aren't you?
Oops! But you AREN'T a human anymore, are you? You're a beast! Eeh hee!
There, there. You be a good boy and calm down. No need to bite!
You look kind of surprised! Eeh hee hee!
So! I bet you're wondering, where exactly are we?!
Well, I'll make you a deal. If you can get over here, maybe I'll tell you! Eeh
hee!
Come on! What's the matter with you? Get over here, now!
If you can't force your way out, why don't you see if there's some kind of hole
you can squeeze through?
I mean, places like this are always full of holes, right?
[Link burrows beneath the ground and comes out on the other side]
Hmph! I guess you're not completely stupid after all!
Listen, I like you, so I think I'll get you out of here.
But in exchange for my help, you have to do EXACTLY as I say!
If you need anything from me, just press (Up on D Pad) to give me a sign!
So, are we all clear? Good. Now, come on! Get moving!
Huh? What's that?
Try pressing Z! You should know how to do this!
[Link sees a chain hanging from the ceiling]
Oh... Well, well...
Eee hee hee! Want to see something interesting?
You're a beast! You should know what to do! Use your senses with (D Pad) and
poke around...
[His teeth latch on to the chain, and as his weight drags it down, it opens a
gate Hylian soldiers in spirit form reside along the dewy sewer way]
HYLIAN SOLDIER #1
Huff... Huff... Can't...run...any...farther... That's...far enough...right?
I'll be safe here...I think...
What was that noise?! Don't... Don't anything come near me!
MIDNA
I doubt you're used to your new body yet, so I'll just tell you...
Think about how you fought enemies in your human form...
Just because your shape has changed doesn't mean your instincts have as well!
HYLIAN SOLDIER #2
What are these black things... Where are they coming from...
And how do we get out of here?!
HYLIAN SOLDIER #3
What are these black monsters... I've never seen anything like them...
[Midna disappears and coalesces on the other side of the grate]
MIDNA
This way! Over here!
I'll be waiting for you, but you'll have to help yourself for a change!
HYLIAN SOLDIER #4
Please...I am but a lowly soldier.
Please...someone save me from these evil creatures... Ahhhh!
[Link safely reaches the other side]
MIDNA
Eee hee! Awww, did the detour tire you out, little wolf?
By the way... Are you honing your senses with (D Pad) like you should?
It looks like the spirits in here... They're all soldiers.
Where in the world could we be? Eee hee!
You want out of here, right? OK! We're off!
[Stairs crumble as you climb them]
Ugh... What are you doing?
I guess I have to do EVERYTHING for you...
I'll guide you to the sure footing, so target me with Z and follow me with A!
[The stairs sweep up to the top of the tower]
So... You know where we are yet? Eee hee!
Well...if you go to the top, you might figure it out!
[Link leaps through the window Outside is a tranquil, dowdy world frozen in
time]
So, we were finally able to get out.
And look at the sky! Isn't the black cloud of twilight looking beautiful today?
Do you know where this is? You STILL don't know? Eee hee hee!
Look, there's someone I want to introduce you to...but I'll need you to go to
that tower to do it!
[A Hylian soldier cowers on the rooftop]
So there are even spirits up here, huh?
This whole spirit thing is pretty new to you, isn't it?
Even though these guys can see those monsters, they don't know a thing about
you!
If you think I'm lying, why don't you check it out? Hone your fine senses with
(D Pad)... Eee hee!
HYLIAN SOLDIER #5
What... What are these monstrous birds? What in the world is happening here?
Ah, our poor Hyrule Castle!
MIDNA
Look! Just a little farther!
[Link springs from the shingles and enters through a window in an adjacent
tower the stairs spiral up to a hardwood door that leads to a one time
opulent room that now gazes out on the bleak world of ruin in the corner is a
woman, cloaked, elegant, stately, even as she is draped in sadness]
PRINCESS ZELDA
...Midna?!
MIDNA
Eee hee! You remember my name? What an honor for me...
PRINCESS ZELDA
So, this is the one for whom you were searching...
MIDNA
He's not exactly what I had in mind, but...I guess he'll do.
PRINCESS ZELDA
...You were imprisoned?
I am sorry.
MIDNA
Poor thing, he has no idea where this is or what's happened...
So, don't you think you should explain to him what you've managed to do? You
owe him that much...
...Twilight Princess! Eee hee!
PRINCESS ZELDA
Listen carefully...
This was once the land where the power of the gods was said to slumber. This
was once the kingdom of Hyrule.
But that blessed kingdom has been transformed by the king that rules the
twilight...
It has been turned into a world of shadows, ruled by creatures who shun the
light.
[Flashback to the throne room of Hyrule Castle Hylian soldiers fall to the
monsters of the twilight as the imposition of the Twilight King's rule is born]
ZANT
It is time for you to choose: surrender or die.
Oh yes, a question for all the land and people of Hyrule...
Life? Or death?!
PRINCESS ZELDA
Twilight covered Hyrule like a shroud, and without light, the people became as
spirits.
Within the twilight, they live on, unaware that they have passed into spirit
forms...
All the people know now is fear... Fear of a nameless evil...
The kingdom succumbed to twilight, but I remain its princess...
I am Zelda.
MIDNA
You don't have to look so sad!
We actually find it to be quite livable! I mean, is perpetual twilight really
all that bad?
PRINCESS ZELDA
Midna... This is no time for levity. The shadow beasts have been searching far
and wide for you.
Why is this?
MIDNA
Why indeed? You tell me! Eee hee hee!
PRINCESS ZELDA
Time has grown short. The guard will soon make his rounds.
You must leave here, quickly.
Please, you must leave quickly...before the guard comes.
[At the bottom of the stairs the door squeals, and cracks of light cascade
through]
MIDNA
Not that way! The guard's coming! Boy, he's prompt!
[Link leaves through window]
Eee hee hee! Well? Do you understand where we are now?
I guess a promise is a promise, so I'll let you go back to where you first
tumbled into twilight...
But...are you really sure you should be going back?
Are you sure you aren't forgetting anything important?
Eee hee! Do you want to save them?
Well, in that case, little Midna would be happy to help you!
But...
Well, you'd have to be my servant...and like a servant, you'd have to do
exactly as I say!
Why don't you go back, take a little time, and give it some thought. Eee hee
hee!
[Using the power of twilight, Midna transports Link back to Ordon Springs, but
his beastly transfiguration stays]
Oh, that's right. I forgot to mention one thing...
Though you may have left the darkened realm, you haven't transformed back to
your former self...and you won't anytime soon!
Now why could that be?
Eee hee hee!
See you later!
Act Two
Chapter II S w o r d a n d S h i e l d
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sword and Shield
MIDNA
So, um, what next?
Eee hee hee!
Did you think I'd disappeared?
Listen, there's another thing I forgot to tell you... Don't think you can just
run off and save your friends, because you can't.
Just beyond that bridge, the land is covered in twilight.
Last time, a shadow beast pulled you through the curtain of twilight...
But if you want to go that way this time, you'll need the cooperation of
someone FROM the twilight...like me!
So you really have no choice but to do what I say.
Saving your friends and all that...
Well, that'll depend on your actions...
Because you never can trust words, you know.
Right now, I want a sword and shield that'll suit me.
You do understand me, don't you? Eee hee hee!
So, what do you plan to do? While you're here dawdling, the twilight continues
to expand.
Come on! Hurry it up!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SQUIRREL
Wait!
I don't know what you've come here to do, but if you're going into town, be
careful!
THEY came and made both the forest and the village a mess...
They kidnapped the children from the village...
But you're different... You're not a bad thing, are you?
I can tell, because you smell like the trees of Ordon...
If you run into any trouble, try talking to the animals in town.
We animals understand one another, so you'll be fine!
HANCH
Ohhh... How did it come to this?
The children... Please say nothing's happened...
Please forgive your good-for-nothing father...
BROWN CUCCO
Huh? Fresh face, huh?
You're a sharp one to realize that ya needed to come introduce yourself to me!
If ya want to know anything about this town, I can tell ya. Whaddaya say?
(No thanks.)
Psssh... I can see ya tell it like it is... Lone wolf and all that...
(Tell me.)
Let me tell ya... This is usually a quiet little village, but there was a bit
of a ruckus today.
If you gotta know, monsters attacked the village and made off with the little
brats.
...Ya look a bit like a monster yourself.
If ya gonna be hangin' around town, ya may wanna stay outta sight of the
people!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JAGGLE
Oh! About that shield...
MAYOR BO
Hey! Not so loud...
[Get within earshot]
JAGGLE
I checked, as we discussed.
MAYOR BO
...So, that shield is still in your house, right?
JAGGLE
Uh, yeah, it should be in our storage loft.
MAYOR BO
Good! Go grab it, quick as you can!
Rusl got wounded pretty bad, so he can't go search for the kids. I'll take over
for him.
JAGGLE
But Rusl had a sword, Mayor! And he STILL got hurt! If you're unarmed, you're
done for!
MAYOR BO
I'll be fine. The sword we were goin' to present to the royal family should
still be at Rusl's house.
JAGGLE
Oh yeah? All right, I understand, Mayor. I'll hurry up and get that shield. You
just wait here...
MAYOR BO
No good! Run!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MIDNA
That's not a bad bit of information you heard, huh?
Ugh... Look at that open window. This village is full of idiots.
So...
We should jump up there...but from where?
HANCH
MON-MONSTER!
You've returned for more, haven't you?!
My... My daughter... Return her!
And TAKE THIS!
[Hanch, having mastered the art of the reeds, bombards Link with a hawk]
ORDON CAT
Were you attacked by that hawk? You're no match for him...
I'm sorry! That person calling the hawk is my master's...husband.
You could sneak up from behind and scare him, meow.
You smell the same as the ranch hand named Link, so I know you're a nice wolf!
DOG
Nighttime walks are so nice, aren't they?!
I hope I find something good buried today! I love digging holes and looking for
treasure!
Look around using your senses and use (Down on D Pad) to dig in suspicious
areas. You're sure to find something!
MIDNA
C'mon, let's get up on the roof from here and scare that guy.
Look at him...posing like he's all important... Wait until he sees us! Eee hee
hee!
HANCH
WHOA!
[Link assails the house through an arrant window and steals the shield]
MIDNA
Eee hee! Found it! Found it!
It looks...kind of cheap...
All right, then... Next is a sword. Hurry up and get one!
RUSL
What was that sound?!
The children could not have returned...could they?
I must go out and search one last time. You get inside the house.
I have placed the sword that was to be our gift to Hyrule on the couch. If the
mayor comes for it, please give it to him.
ULI
But, darling...your injuries!
RUSL
Beast! I have found you!
Foul BEAST!
[Link evades Rusl's attacks and finds a plush mound of dirt alongside the house
He burrows into it and steals the sword]
MIDNA
All right... So now you have a sword. Looks like you can actually be useful
when you concentrate!
All right... No more detours. I'm going to take you back into the twilight.
Go back to the woods where you first transformed into that shape!
WHITE CUCCO
Ah... To be a wolf on a night when the moon rides high... Beautiful!
Tell me, is your true form a human who is not currently in the town? ...Nah,
Just teasing!
You're lucky... Your sharpened senses and your soft-looking coat... Lovely!
Act Two
Chapter III C h o s e n H e r o o f t h e G o d s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chosen Hero of the Gods
ORDONA
Wait...
Come...to my spring...
You have...been transformed...by the power...of shadow...
Come...to me...
Beware...A shadow being...it approaches...
[A creature of the shadow descends from the twilight portal, but Link defeats
it]
O brave youth...
I am one of four light spirits that protect Hyrule at the behest of the gods. I
am Ordona.
The black beast you slayed was a shadow being. It had come to seize the power
of light I wield.
My brethren in Hyrule have already had their light stolen by these fell beasts.
The entire kingdom has been reduced to a netherworld ruled by the cursed powers
of darkness.
The blight will not stop with Hyrule. Before long, the entire world of light
will fall into the hands of the king who rules the twilight.
To save this land from the king of twilight, the lost light must be recovered.
The three light spirits who have lost their light must be revived.
There is but one who can revive them and redeem this land...
You.
You still have not discovered your true power...
Those transformed by twilight usually cannot recover their original forms...
Unless... If you were to return Faron Woods where you were first transformed...
If you were to revive the light spirit...
There, by the power of the light spirit, you may find the means to regain your
other state of being...
[Further down the path is the leering blanket of twilight]
MIDNA
Hey... Look...
The Faron Woods that you know so well... They're now covered in twilight.
You might not be able to come back here, but... Do you still want to go?
(No)
It really doesn't matter to me what you do...
The only thing that'll happen if you just stand here is the steady spread of
twilight... Eee hee!
Want me to let you into the twilight?
(No)
Wait... This is wrong...
(Yes)
[Midna pulls Link into the twilight]
Hmm! So these are the weapons you use in your world?
You really think this thing can slay the creatures of twilight?
...Well, I won't use these, but I'll hang on to them for you!
All right, a promise is a promise... I trust you enough to help.
In exchange for my help, though, I need you to gather some things for me.
Look, I can't tell you all the details now, but it'll be easy, trust me...
But enough about that. Do you hear that noise? It's the lamentation of the
spirit that had its light stolen...
Where in the world could it be? Eee hee!
Better get going, don't you think? Don't blame me for your world's fate if you
don't hurry up and find that light!
Come on! Snap to it!
[Shadow creatures fence Link in]
Aww... We're penned in again!
Pffft! Who do they think they're dealing with?
No need to take these little pests on one at a time, right? You can take them
all at once! So... You can handle this by yourself, can't you?
Good luck! 'Bye!
[After the final shadow creature revives its fallen comrades]
What's the holdup?
If you leave the last one alive, it's just going to use that shriek to bring
the others back.
Listen, let me help you out here! Just move like I tell you!
You just hold down B and I'll expand an energy field. Enclose all of your
enemies within it and release the button!
[After Link defeats the shadow creatures, he finds the weakened light spirit in
its spring]
FARON
...Please...be careful... These woods...have changed...
The dark clouds of dusk cover this land... This drape of shadows is
called...twilight.
In this twilight, those who lived in the light...become as mere spirits...it is
a place...where the dark ones and evil creatures dwell...
...I...am a spirit...of light...
...Blue-eyed beast.
Look...for my light... Retrieve the light stolen by the dark beasts...and keep
it...in this vessel.
In the shadows of twilight...the dark insects are as...invisible...as normal
beings are here...
Let me use the last of my power...to reveal the locations of the dark
insects...that consumed the light...
...Find...the insects of darkness...
The dark insects... They are the form taken by evil...once it has latched on
to...our scattered light...
Mark...these words... In the shadows of twilight...the dark insects are
as...invisible...as normal beings are here...
Please...look in the places I have marked on your map and recover the Tears of
Light from these...insects of darkness...
[If you try to leave Faron Woods]
MIDNA
Wait! Wait! Don't go too far!
You still have stuff to do here in these woods, don't you? Come back!
[Midna spies an opening into Coro's house]
Hm... Looks like we can get in there!
CORO
Wh...What's with these bugs? Those things aren't normal!
They're so big... So weird... So creepy...
C'mon, get away, bugs... Shoo... Get out of here...
Awww, come on, bugs... I mean, gimme a break, guy... You can't just wander
around people's houses like that...
You stay away, bugs... Seriously, just back off...
[After you defeat the insects inside of Coro's house]
Wha...WHAAT? They just...died?
Oh, boy, I have NO idea what's going on around here...
Are there more of those bugs...outside?
Ohh... Maybe I should just lay low for a while...
[The search for the remaining insects takes Link back through the snaking cave,
and on the other side, Midna glides Link over the curling fog below]
MIDNA
Hey... Think we can get across over here?
[When Link reaches the Forest Temple, he finds a monkey besieged upon a wooden
post as insects scamper along the ground below]
MONKEY
Yeek eek! Help!
[Link destroys the insects]
Someone... Someone helped me?
Boy, lucky for me... Ever since the boss went funny in the head, there've been
scary monsters everywhere...
Those village kids got led through the woods for some reason...
The whole forest is so weird now... What's happened?
The boss is threatening his friends... The village kids got kidnapped...
I mean, what's going on in these woods now, anyway?
Act Two
Chapter IV T h e F o r e s t T e m p l e
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Forest Temple
NARRATOR
The Vessel of Light is full of tears, and light has returned to this area!
MIDNA
Aww, but it was so nice here in the twilight... What's so great about a world
of light, anyway?
Eee hee hee! See you later!
FARON
My name is Faron.
I am one of the spirits of light who dwell in Hyrule. I use the life force of
the gods to protect this forest.
O brave youth...
In the land covered in twilight, where people roam as spirits, you were
transformed into a blue-eyed beast...
That was a sign...
It was a sign that the powers of the chosen one rest within you...and that they
are awakening.
Look at your awakened form...
The green tunic that is your garb once belonged to the ancient hero chosen by
the gods...
His power is yours. His is the true power that slept within you.
Your name is Link.
You are the hero chosen by the gods.
Brave Link...
A dark power rests in the temple deep within these woods.
It is a forbidden power. Long, long ago, I and the other spirits of light
locked it away.
Because of its nature, it is a power that should never be touched by any who
dwell in the light.
But this world weeps beneath a mantle of shadows, and so there is no choice...
You must match the power of the king of shadows.
If you would seek this forbidden power, then proceed to the temple in the
forest depths.
MIDNA
Well, well... You're the chosen hero and all that, huh? So THAT'S why you
turned into that beast!
What a shame... I mean, maybe you'd rather just wander as a spirit like the
rest of them, totally unaware of what was happening for all eternity...right?
Eee hee hee! So... What do you want to do? Do you want to head to that temple?
Well, isn't that convenient! I was about to head there myself.
Hey, look... You want to help your friends, right?
The way I see it, maybe they're in the temple, waiting for you to rescue
them...
Well, good luck, Mr. Important Hero!
Eee hee hee! See you later!
Now, then... It's finally time for that weapon I worked so hard to get!
You probably already know this, but...swing (wand) to wield your sword and use
Z to defend with your shield.
I'm so helpful, aren't I? Eee hee hee! Just think of me when you use those, OK?
[A gate sears Link off from the path to the Forest Temple, so he is diverted to
Coro's lantern shop]
CORO
Hunh?!
So... It's the Ordonian!
You seemed familiar, but then your clothes seem kinda different, so I got
thrown off for a second!
Listen... Things have been a little rough around here lately, so you should
watch your step, OK, guy?
There are so many monsters now... I got kinda scared and closed off the path to
the temple.
But... You, guy... You wanna get back there, huh?
You sure do looked geared up for it... So here you go!
[He hands Link the small key]
Oh yeah... The woods on the other side of the cave are
covered in really thick fog, so make sure your lantern is full!
You're definitely going to need to use your lantern a lot in there, so bring
all the oil you can!
And check this out! I have a special, one-time offer of a bottle full of
lantern oil for only 100 Rupees! How 'bout it, guy? What a bargain!
(Never mind.)
(Buy!)
[On the other side of the forest, a monkey steals Link's lantern and runs with
it into the fog]
MIDNA
Hey, what's this monkey's problem?
You idiot! While you were staring off into dreamland, your lantern got stolen!
[Link follows the monkey, who flags it above her head and offers a momentary
haven from the nipping fog, and when on the other side, picks it from the
ground after it has been discarded by the monkey]
NARRATOR
You got the lantern back! It ran out of oil while you were following the monkey
around...
TRILL
Woo! Hey! Woo! You're super!
Now just buy something! Hey!
Welcome! Hey! Buy something! Anything!
[If you pay him]
Hey! What a generous young man!
Thank you! Hey! Thank you! Come back sometime! Hey!
[A wolf whose fur is born from golden strands guards the entrance to the Forest
Temple It jumps on Link, teleporting him to a snowy training ground with an
ancient warrior of bone and armor]
HERO'S SHADE
A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage.
You may be destined to become the hero of legend...but your current power would
disgrace the proud green of the hero's tunic you wear.
You must use your courage to seek power...and find it you must. Only then will
you become the hero for whom this world despairs.
If you do find true courage, and you wish to save Hyrule from the horrors it
now faces...
Then you will be worthy to receive the secrets I hold!
Enemies that are filled with energy will quickly recover and attack again even
when stunned by a powerful strike.
The ending blow is a secret technique you can use on stunned enemies to end
their breath before they spring back into action.
When an enemy lies collapsed on the ground, stunned, Z-target and press A
without delay to leap high into the air and deliver a final strike.
When the opportunity to end their breath is before you, you will see Finish A
appear vividly before your eyes.
Now, try it on me!
[The warrior crashes to the ground with the power of Link's steel, and as the
Finish flashes before his eyes, he brings the weight of his weapon down into
the warrior's chest]
Hmm. That was a pinpoint strike. Never overlook your opportunity to finish with
A!
The first hidden skill, the ending blow, has been passed on!
NARRATOR
You learned the first hidden skill, the ending blow! When a foe falls, lock on
with Z and deliver a final blow with A!
HERO'S SHADE
There are still six hidden skills for you to learn.
Those are only for one who carries the blood of the hero...the one whose spirit
is that of the sublime beast.
Grow powerful. Test your courage. And when you find that you need another skill
to overcome the threats that face you...
Search for the statues that howl with the sound of the wind. Seek the sound
that calls to the spirit of the beast to awaken me again.
A sword wields no strength unless the hand that holds it has courage. Remember
those words...
Farewell!
[Link awakens back at the heel of the Forest Temple He enters the powerful
yet anemic husk of the tree and in the first room sees a monkey caught in the
bars of a cage]
MIDNA
Hey! That's the monkey that stole your lantern!
Doesn't it look like she's beckoning you? Aren't you the popular one? Eee hee!
[Link presses forward, but the boss monkey uses his boomerang to cut the cords
on the bridge]
Oh! What's going on?! Has there been a monkey fight?!
Oh no! Now we can't go any farther. We might as well go back.
I don't know what's going on, but it seems like she wants to take you
somewhere, so maybe you should just follow her.
[Link catches a head peaking out of a jar When he breaks it, he finds a half
human half chicken hybrid]
OOCCOO
Phew! Out at last!
Gracious... Once I got in there, I couldn't squeeze back out!
You were a big help... Thanks!
I've been looking for something in here, you see. Gracious, yes!
You must need something here, too. Shall we try working together for a while,
fellow adventurer?
You may not think I look like much, but I can be quite helpful!
I can even warp you out of here if you want to leave!
So don't think of me as a burden! Now let's get started!
Ooh! Did you want to leave? I can warp you right out!
You can return right here, so there are no worries!
(I'll stay.)
Oh, goodness... Aren't you a trooper!
Well, don't push it too hard. If you need a breath of fresh, outside air, just
give me a holler!
(Warp out!)
Yes, yes! Now... Leave it to me!
Let me introduce you! This is Ooccoo Jr.!
Anytime you want to warp back to this spot from outside, ask him.
If you want to meet me at the entrance rather than warping here, just go there
and I'll meet you!
Now, bon voyage, you two!
OOCCOO JR.
Wanna go back to my mama?
(Not yet.}
OK! I wanna stay here too!
{Go back!}
You got it! Mama, here we come!
OOCCOO
Well, well! Welcome back!
Without further ado, we're off!
[After Link defeats the monkey, he is granted the Gale Boomerang by the Fairy
of Winds]
FAIRY OF WINDS
I am the Fairy of Winds who resides in this boomerang.
You have freed me from evil, and I now have my true power back.
Please... Take it with you, use it to aid your quest, and may both my power and
my blessing go with you.
If you focus power in your boomerang before releasing it, it will unleash the
power of wind, aiding you in unforeseen ways.
MIDNA
I bet even the monkeys should be satisfied now.
OK, let's continue combing this place. We already found something good, so
let's keep searching places we haven't looked yet.
[On his way back, Link frees another trapped monkey]
Well, I guess there are still some monkeys you haven't freed yet!
At this point, you should just save them all and see what you can get for it!
[If you get the compass]
Well, if it isn't something useful.
As long as you have that, you should be able to find where the captured monkeys
are, right?
I guess in order for us to check the temple out completely, we need the help of
the monkeys.
Ah well... Let's help the rest of them!
[Link frees the rest of the monkeys and gains access to the boss chamber, where
he defeats the Twilit Parasite Diababa]
Eee hee hee! Well done!
That's...what I was looking for.
That's a Fused Shadow.
It's what the light spirit called dark power...
Do you remember what that spirit said? About how you had to match the power of
the king of shadows?
Could it really be so easy? Is this all there is to it? Eee hee hee!
There's a total of three Fused Shadows. I think the other light spirits have
the rest...
If you want to know exactly what Fused Shadows are... Well, maybe I'll tell you
if you find the other two.
I guess you'd better do your best to find them, huh? Eee hee hee!
So let's not waste any more time here when we could be looking for the other
two...
I'll get you out of here... You pick up the Heart Container that fell out of
that thing.
Want to go outside? Are you all done here?
(No)
(Yes)

Servant of Twilight
FARON
Heroic Link...
Do not think that Hyrule is now saved from the spread of twilight...
Leave these woods and go to the west, where you will find the land protected by
the spirit Eldin.
There you will find those you seek...
But know that these lands lie in twilight... They are now a dark realm covered
by the clouds of dusk.
If you set foot beyond the curtains of twilight, you will revert to your beast
form, so be prepared.
Hero chosen by the gods, leave these woods and go west, to the land of the
spirit Eldin.
MIDNA
That's better. Searching should be much easier now. Eee hee!
But... Of course, you feel the need to go help the other light spirits, don't
you?
Well, don't worry. When you turn into a beast again, I'll take good care of
you.
The first thing you need to do is find the land covered in twilight. Once you
do, I'll help you out.
Eee hee hee! See you later!
[Link, now forced to do Midna's bidding like a servant, steps out into Hyrule
Field, and in the distant continuity where land meets sky without sinew, beyond
the rim at the top of the hill, Hyrule Castle stands bathed in the spread of
twilight under the vast veneer of the Twilight King As he walks along the
path toward Kakariko, Link is met by the mail carrier)
POSTMAN
HEEEEEEY!
Go no further! There is a black wall ahead that blocks the way!
I thought I would deliver a few letters, but it seems impossible...
I am the honorable and dependable letter carrier, known to some as...the
postman.
Now that I have introduced myself, please! Take this letter and read it at your
leisure!
To read a letter, press + to open your Collection screen and select the letter.
You can do that to read any letters you receive. Do it whenever you see fit!
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
(Up around the corner the light dims and the wall of twilight comes into view]
MIDNA
Hey, it was much closer than I thought...
You remember, right? You know what this is?
If you set foot in there, you might be a wolf again for quite some time...
For at least as long as it takes you to save the light of Eldin from the
twilight, anyway...
So, shall we try to go see the light spirit Eldin? Eee hee!
Want me to let you into the twilight?
(No)
Wait... This is wrong...
[After Link is pulled into the twilight, he reverts to a wolf]
(Yes)
That's a good boy! Now, you need to listen to what I say from now on!
Ahh, look! How lovely! The black clouds of twilight are so fetching today...
I feel so much more at ease here...
And you look so much better like this than in those dusty old clothes, anyway.
Eee hee!
So, let's get going!
[If you try to leave the twilight]
That won't work! Give it up!
Did you hear me? You can't return to the world of light that easily!
[In the haze of the twilight a backpack is isolated along the ground Link
sniffs it, catching the scent of the children in his nostrils]
See, isn't being a wolf more convenient?
Now, use (D Pad) to hone your senses! You've begun to reawaken as a wolf, I
think.
Eee hee!
[Link follows the scent, but he is interrupted by the brooding breadth of
Kakariko Gorge spanning the length of the path]
What's this?! That's strange... The bridge is gone...
I wonder if this is the work of those shadow creatures... Ugh... What a pain!
Ah well, let's look for it... You! Get your map out!
The yellow arrow marks where we are. You knew that, right?
Whenever you destroy those creatures from the darkness, a portal opens that
looks like this on the map.
You hear me? It's called a portal. You'd better remember that!
And...in those woods we came through...
Yes! It's got to be around there...
I'll use my power to take you to the location of the open portal... Pick where
you want to go.
What are you doing? Pick which one you want!
[Link transports to North Faron Woods]
See! I told you. We're here!
You know, most people can't leave the twilight that easily. You'd better be
grateful!
It's your job to look for the bridge! Look hard!
TRILL
Hahhhh...
It's rough, having to watch a shop in this unpopular part of town...
Even though I watch after this shop every day, he never shows any
appreciation...
I think my master probably didn't get much praise growing up...
[A bridge lays against the knee of a cliff in Faron Woods]
MIDNA
Wow! It's perfect, don't you think?
What do you think? Should we take it?
{Speak to Midna}
Hey... Have you looked around at all? That thing doesn't look like it belongs
here, does it?
The more I look at it, the more perfect it becomes! Maybe you just don't
understand...
(Speak to Midna)
How many times do I have to say it?! It's perfect for the bridge! OK?!
(Warp}
You should've listened to me from the beginning!
[Midna rips the bridge from its holster along the cliff and warps it to
Kakariko Gorge, where it fits succinctly into the gap]
See! Just as I thought... Eee hee!
So, isn't the power of twilight amazing?
Call me if you need the power again. It should help you find what we're looking
for, don't you think?
All right! Let's keep going!
[Link soon arrives at a gate obtrusively positioned in front of Kakariko]
Huh...
What are they doing there?
This is a pretty elaborate gate... What are they trying to keep in? ...Or out?
I bet it'll be worth our while to dig in...
[Link digs in a soft patch of earth by the gate and enters Kakariko, where he
is beckoned by a light spirit to its spring]
ELDIN
To the hero...who was transformed into a blue-eyed beast...in the realm of
shadows... In twilight...
...This way...
...I am...a spirit...of light...
Hero...chosen by the gods...
Look for...my light... Gather the light stolen by the shadows...into this...
...The insects of darkness... They are the form taken...by the evil that
attached itself...to my scattered light...
In this shadowy twilight...the shadow insects are invisible, much as the people
from your light world are...
With the last of my power...let me mark your map...with the locations...of the
tears that have turned into...shadow insects...
But...be careful... The darkness...now hunts you...
Act Three
Chapter II F o r g o t t e n H e r o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forgotten Hero
MIDNA
Hey, you can climb up here!
[Link spies an opening in a roof When he falls in, he sees that Colin and the
rest of the children are cowering in a corner with the town shaman, Renado
Barnes's transluscent gaze pieces the window]
BARNES
Cripes! I don't see those black brutes anywhere...
They've gotta be hidin' somewhere, waitin' for their helpless little prey to
come out! Then they'll FEAST!
RENADO
We are safe as long as we remain in here, child. Be at ease.
BARNES
Oh yeah? I wonder if the monsters out there agree with you...
They sure didn't seem impressed by my bombs! How long do you think we can hold
this sanctuary against beasts that strong, huh?
Once they attack, it's OVER!
Remember that lady from the general store? Just one of those things attacked
her, and a whole gang from town went to save her!
And what happened? She was already gone, and there were TWO monsters waitin'!
...You connectin' the dots? That means that if we get attacked by them, then
we'll be...
RENADO
BARNES!
BARNES
Look, Renado... All I mean to say is that it's risky here, too! Ain't you got
some place we can hide?
RENADO
There is...a cellar.
BARNES
WHAAT? You've got a CELLAR?! Where's the entrance, man?
RENADO
The entrance to the cellar is designed to open when all of the candles have
been lit...
LUDA
...I...would not do that.
When Father instructed me to secure the cellar, I saw insects like the beasts
outside...
COLIN
Don't cry, Beth! It'll be OK!
Link is coming to save us all!
...I can feel it!
MIDNA
These kids knew you'd come to save them! What a hero!
How sad, to be right in front of someone and not be noticed at all... Eee hee
hee!
You are chosen by the gods, and only that keeps you from turning into a spirit,
or worse, into a dark monster, when you enter twilight.
And no one knows what you have done... You may be doomed to toil in obscurity
forever...
You're the type to worry about everything, I can tell...but don't fret over
Princess Zelda! She chose this state of affairs, after all...
Anyway, what's with having to light candles to get to the basement?! Not very
subtle, is it...
So, what are you going to do now? My lonely little hero... Eee hee!
BARNES
Cripes! Seems like everyone's tryin' to pull a fast one these days.
Boy, I don't have a clue who this Link fella is...but I've gotta say, I ain't
overly confidant he's gonna come save this village!
RENADO
As things are now, it is likely safest for us to remain here...
[Link takes a wooden stick between his teeth and lights it on the hearth,
setting on fire each of the candles until the entrance to the basement opens]
What sorcery is this?! The entrance to the cellar opening on its own...
Could these beasts have engineered even this?
[Link descends into the darkness and defeats the insects At the other end is
a rickety scaffolding]
MIDNA
...How about that?
Looks like you can climb the scaffolding...
[Link climbs through and finds himself in the graveyard He soon takes to the
roofs, but some of the hatched and withered shingles give way, and he falls
through After defeating the insects, Midna offers him passage out of the
house]
If you're done with your errand, then let's get out of here.
[Link continues to the top of Kakariko Village He enters a bomb hut and
smokes out an insect The insect spreads the blaze from bomb to bomb, and the
house is swiftly absorbed in a fire]
Huh?! What did you do?!
Sorry, but as romantic as this is, I'm not going to stay here with you. I'm
getting out!
HEY! If you don't hurry up and get out... Ooh, I can't even say it!
[Link escapes before the house is enveloped in an explosion]
Hmm... I don't suppose there's any nicer way to hunt these things, huh?
Well, you had to sacrifice someone's house to find Tears of Light...but that's
how the cookie crumbles, right?
[After Link defeats all the insects in Kakariko, he takes the Death Mountain
path]
Looks like the path's impassable...but I can get you up it if you want to go.
GORON #1
Ugh... Why do I have to stand guard...
The ladder is destroyed, so it is not like any humans will come up...
And what is with the elders? If we have a problem the humans can help with, we
should ask. It is better than suffering for the sake of pride.
Repelling humans by force... What a depressing job...
Must keep humans out...
GORON #2
Why do I have to stand guard at a dead end at the bottom of a cliff like
this...
...Wait a second! Have they tucked me out of the way because they think I am
useless?
Grrr! I do not like being made an outcast on the fringes like this...
If I see anyone suspicious, I am going to show my strength. Yes, I will send
the trespasser flying!
GORON #3
Psssh! Hot! Another fumarole... And once again, it is in the worst possible
place!
I suppose this path is impassable now...
If I were to go down that way...I would get knocked back in an instant, I am
sure of it!
If my legs were as strong as the elders' legs, I might be able to stomp my way
down there...
[Link defeats all of the insects, and the veil of the twilight is peeled back]
MIDNA
Aw, I was just starting to have fun! Don't forget that Fused Shadow!
Eee hee hee! See you later!
ELDIN
My name is Eldin.
I am one of the light spirits of Hyrule. I am the spirit that guards these
lands.
O great hero chosen by the gods...
The dark power you seek lies in the sacred grounds of the proud mountain
dwellers.
But already those grounds have been defiled, draped in shadow and seeded with
evil.
You must go to those sacred grounds and cleanse them.
[Colin comes out from the house]
COLIN
Link?!
TALO
Ha ha ha! See, Beth?! I TOLD you Link would save us!
RENADO
...You are the one from Ordon whom these children spoke of?
We are well met. I am Renado, shaman of this town.
And this... (He momentarily looks at Barnes)
This is my daughter, Luda.
COLIN
The beasts took us and left us to die...but Mr. Renado found us.
RENADO
At first, I couldn't believe they had come from so distant a place as the
Ordona Province...
COLIN
Yeah, I... We don't remember much. All of a sudden everyone was captured, and
then...until now...it's been like...
MALO
...A nightmare.
COLIN
Yeah! It was like a terrible dream and we couldn't wake up...
RENADO
Mmm... Nightmares are everywhere these days, it seems. This village has
certainly seen its share of recent hardships...
The dark beasts attacked, but even worse was the sudden and inexplicable change
in the mountain-dwelling Goron tribe.
They had long been our friends, but suddenly treated us as foes. Even now they
refuse to permit us entry into their mines.
It strains the limits of belief... To think that such a gentle and proud tribe
could change so suddenly...
It makes me wonder if something in those mines is the cause of this change...
In any case, you must take these children and flee this village before more
nightmares descend.
I, of course, cannot leave my village in such a time. There is no telling what
may happen to us here...
...But it is my job to try to coax the Gorons back from their recent change of
heart.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TALO
I don't wanna leave all these people just to save ourselves!
BETH
Come on, Link! Can't you do something?
COLIN
Isn't there...some way to make up with the Gorons?
MALO
You'd think someone could go to the mines and do something...
LUDA
Link.
Trying to go near the mines is very dangerous.
I will be very sad to be separated from Colin and the others...but I know they
must go. Please return them safely to their parents.
RENADO
I do not know what is in the Goron mines, but surely they will soon come to
understand it, and right what is wrong.
Do not concern yourself with me, my son. You must flee this place as quickly as
you can.

Sumo Wrestling
GORON #1
Ah! No humans allowed!
These lands ahead belong to the Goron tribe! The elder said no humans may pass!
[The Goron charges Link, throwing him from the cliff]
A weak spirit is no match for the might of the Gorons!
Do you understand me, human? Then away with you!
Ho! You are back again, human?
You will never pass! You cannot hope to match our brute force!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RENADO
Ah, how fortunate you are in one piece! I saw you heading up the mountain
trail, so I was worried.
Are you trying to reach the Gorons of Death Mountain? It is far too dangerous,
Link!
They recognize only strength! A normal person could never persuade them...
But...I do know one person who was able to best them and earn their trust...
His name is Bo. You may know him as the mayor of your hometown, Ordon.
Please, go to him. And while you are there, please let him know that the
children are safe.
Of course, getting them back would be best...but we could not keep them safe
from the monsters on the road without a horse and cart...
Please... Return to Ordon and inform the parents that their children are free
from harm. Give them my word.
I think it is best for you to return to Ordon and let everyone know that the
children are safe.
And as for the Gorons...I am sure Bo will be able to tell you how best to win
their trust!
[Epona rushes into Kakariko Village with Bulblins straddling her Link corrals
her]
MIDNA
Hmm... You're not too shabby a wrangler after all!
Won't this make getting back to your town a lot easier?
Now go finish your errand so we can get back! Get a move on!
BARNES
Cripes... My storehouse... My powder... What happened?!
Them... Them foul beasts... Curse 'em all!
[Link and Epona swing toward the gate and clear it with a leap Along the way
toward Ordon, Link is intercepted by the Postman]
POSTMAN
MR. LINK!
WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
It is a letter from Ooccoo.
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
[Link rides toward Ordon, where he first stops by Sera's Sundries]
SERA
What's that?! The children?!
Oh... Oh! So, they're in Kakariko Village!
Oh, thank goodness they're all still alive! I was worried sick...
Phew... Finally, I can get back to work in peace...
Link, need something? You should take a look around and see if there's anything
you want!
Of course I want them to come home as soon as possible, but for now, it's
probably safer for the folk in Kakariko to look after them...
But tell me this, Link... If you're going out there again, then how are your
travel preparations coming along?
If there's something you're looking for, m'dear, you can use (analog stick) to
see if we have it.
HANCH
Link...
The... The children are ALIVE?!
Wh-What? They're alive!
This is fantastic! Truly fantastic!
Oh, thank you for letting me know, Link!
Have you told all of the others yet?
If you haven't, you must spread the word. Put their worst fears to rest!
JAGGLE
Yo, Link!
What's the latest? Have you gotten any clues about where our tykes might be?
Huh? They're in Kakariko?!
Boy, that's a fine fix! We're gonna have to tell the mayor about that right
away!
Well, what the heck are you doing, Link? Go tell the mayor!
PERGIE
The-The children! They're alive?!
Oh... Oh, thank heavens! I'd almost given up hope for them...
Thank you so much for coming to tell me, Link!
Thank goodness the children are still alive...
You must tell all of the others!
ULI
Oh!
Colin... Colin is...alive?!
Oh! The children are all safe!
Oh, how wonderful! I am so glad I kept the faith...
My thanks to you, Link. From the bottom of my heart.
Have you told everyone else yet? You must tell them all!
I am so happy that everyone is safe...
And you... You have really grown to become an impressive swordsman over time...
I wish I could tell my husband, as well...
The moment his wounds healed, he left to find those young ones.
Hopefully he will stop by Kakariko Village...
I do not know his whereabouts, so it may not reach him...
I will try to send him a letter with this fine news.
Oh, I must write one to Colin, too!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAYOR BO
LINK?!
Whoa, it IS you, Link!
You're safe and sound!
Your clothes... What happened to you, lad?
C-Come quick! Inside!
I see... So the young'uns are in Kakariko Village!
Well, that's good... Renado's an old friend. If they're in his care, then we
can relax.
So... Don't keep me waitin', lad! Tell me of my little girl! Ilia is with the
rest of 'em, right?
...Oh! I see... That ain't what I wanted to hear...
Ahh... But Link...
I guess I need to think of all five of those poor kids, not just my own...
They're all in danger.
What I should be askin' is how I can help out...
What's that, now? The Gorons of Death Mountain?
I see... So Renado told you that...
Well, it's true...I did defeat the Gorons in a contest of strength and earned
their trust. ...With the help of a little secret.
I CAN teach you the secret...but can you promise that you absolutely,
positively will NOT disclose it to anyone?
(No)
I see... Well, you understand I can't teach the secret to a fella who won't
protect it.
It's a cryin' shame...
Eh? You rethink your answer to my question, lad?
If you give me your word that you ain't gonna divulge it, I'll teach you the
secret to defeatin' the Gorons...
Like, say, Renado, for example. You wouldn't tell him, would you? ...Can you
gimme your word?
(Yes)
Good. All right, then. Absolutely no one!
Come this way.
Link, you've heard of sumo wrestlin', right? Gorons like to match strength in
sumo contests.
Luckily for you, the basics of sumo are the same as stoppin' chargin' goats...
You wanna hear more?
(No)
(Yes)
All righty, then, I'll teach you the basics of the ways of sumo.
If you're gettin' in a sumo match, chances are you're in an arena like this.
The first fella to push his foe outside the arena wins.
Step forward and grab your foe with A. Strike a fleein' foe with (wand) and
sidestep an attackin' foe with (analog stick).
Three techniques, all of 'em pretty basic. Master all three and you'll be
shovin' folks out of the arena in no time, lad!
...So, there you go: the basics of sumo. Need to hear them again?
(Yes)
(No)
Rather than explain a lot, why don't we just get to it? Come into the ring,
lad.
[Link and Bo sumo wrestle]
[If you let Bo win]
What's the matter, Link? Did you think I was gonna take it easy on you?
If you can't prevail in a match like this, then you'd have NO chance against a
Goron!
For example, if you're about to be grabbed, sidestep with (analog stick).
All righty. If you understand... Come at me again!
[Alternate dialogue]
For example... If you're grabbed, try to break loose with A! Push your foe away
to escape your predicament.
All right. If you understand... Come at me again!
(Yes)
(No)
If you're lookin' to know the secrets to defeatin' the Gorons, then first
you've gotta have the basics of sumo pounded into you.
I'm happy to be the one to do it, lad. Come on back anytime!
You wanna spar some more, Link?
Listen, you wanna beat the Gorons? Then defeat me in sumo! ...Then we'll talk,
lad.
(Not interested.)
I see...but I want to do everythin' I can to help you rescue the kids in
Kakariko...
So anytime you want to practice with me, lemme know.
(I'll challenge you.)
All right, then! First, we change! Then, we sumo!
[If you win]
Hmph! You seem to understand the basics.
All right, next time I won't go easy on you, lad. Fight me as if you were
fightin' one of the Gorons!
[Link and Bo wrestle again]
[If you let Bo win]
What was that, eh? You've gotta put your back into it, lad!
I shared the spirit of the sumo with you, lad, and you've gotta remember it!
For example... Use (wand) to strike a foe who tries to sidestep.
[Alternate dialogue]
For example, if your strike is effective, follow it up by grabbin' with A!
[If you win]
Whoa ho! Not too shabby, lad!
With your natural talent, I'm sure you can take on the Gorons...
You've got a sight stronger in the short time you've been gone, Link...
Strong as you are, though, you can't hope to beat the Gorons wrestlin' with
power alone. Those Gorons are made of rock!
Naw, the secret to beatin' the Gorons...is locked away in that chest.
Take it with you, lad.
Go on, lad. Open the chest.
[Link opens the chest and finds the Iron Boots]
You can probably tell, those boots are made of iron, lad.
Whoever wears 'em won't easily be pushed around...even by a Goron.
If you're fixin' to fight a Goron, be sure to wear those boots.
...Let's be square, though, lad: You can't ever tell ANYONE about those boots!
'Specially Renado!
What's the matter? You've gotta hurry to Death Mountain and help the people of
Kakariko!
...But you absolutely CAN'T tell anyone about the boots!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FADO
Link!
N-No foolin'?! The tots are safe?!
An' on top of that, they're all in Kakariko Village?!
Aw, shucks, you don't need to worry 'bout that now.
You're incredible, bud! I can already see everybody's smilin' faces!
Well, hey there, Link! Brought Epona, huh?
Well, how's about it? Wanna round them goats up for the first time in a dog's
age?
I bet those scamps are sure happy to see you!
(Sorry, partner.)
Aw... Well, I guess it can't be helped, what with you havin' a lot on your
plate these days.
I'll find a way to manage things here at the ranch without y'all. You do what
you gotta do what you gotta do to take care of the village!
You leave those scamps to me. I'll manage without y'all somehow!
Besides, Link, c'mon... Can't you find a way to get Ilia and the tots back here
just a hair quicker?
(Sure thing!)
Great! Then I'll leave it to you two today!
[Link prepares to herd the goats]
What's wrong, Link? You callin' it quits?
(Yes)
It ain't like you to quit in the middle of a job...
But I reckon it can't be helped, what with all that's on our plate these
days...
I'll find a way to manage the rest on my own. Y'all go on and don't worry about
me none!
(No)
Well, in that case, hurry up and herd them goats into the barn.
[Link shuttles the goats into the barn]
Hoo, way to ride, Link! You wrapped that up in just (time)!
Thanks to you, I wrapped things up a mite earlier today!
Hey, as promised, here's a little healthy gift for y'all. Good luck out there,
bud!
It's a good thing I was able to wrap early today thanks to you helpin' me out,
bud.
Thanks a ton, Link.
[If you go into the barn, you'll find the Postman]
POSTMAN
We can just let the goats eat a messy-looking letter like this.

The Passage Into Death Mountain
[Link rushes to Kakariko Village The Bulblin warrior King Bulblin thunders
through town on an armored boar, threatening to grind Beth beneath his
tremendous hooves Colin pushes her out of the way of the oncoming rush,
taking her place as the monster's captor King Bulblin raises his helmet and
with his button eyes glares at Barnes, who lowers his helmet in fear Link at
length stampedes into Kakariko, but the Bulblin caravan is already too far
ahead]

Link! Hurry!
They fled north toward the field!

headlong at each other on the precipice of Eldin Bridge - Link throws King
Bulblin from his armored boar and into the depths of the ravine, saving Colin
and bringing him back to Kakariko, where he awakes]

Is everyone...OK?
...Good.
Beth... I'm sorry. You know...for shoving you. Are you mad?
I... I think I finally understand.
I understand what my dad meant when he told me I needed to be stronger, like
you, Link...
He wasn't talking about strength, like lifting stuff. He was talking about
being brave...
Link... You saved me, didn't you?
You... You can do anything.
You can do something to help the Gorons in the mine too, can't you, Link?
[Colin's body goes limp in Renado's arms Renado takes him to the upper room
of the inn]
TALO
I can't believe Colin... I mean, that was a really brave thing for him to do,
huh? Especially since he's such a weakling!
Um... He IS gonna be all right, right?
And Malo! He hasn't even come by to say "Get well soon!" What's he thinking?
He said he was gonna "get started," and he hasn't come out of that closed-up
shop since!
Link, could you talk some sense into that kid?
That crazy little Malo... He went to the shop, and now he's up to something in
there!
He said he needed to "get started," but what's he need in a closed-up shop,
anyhow?
MALO
Hey...
You can look at stuff, but don't you DARE just take things...
That's MY valuable merchandise. You want it, you pay for it...
I decided to take on this unmanned shop...
Buy something... It helps the whole village if you...
Maybe I can't become a hero...but I figure I can help people out with heroic
business deals.
You'd better work hard, too...
[Link visits Colin in the bedroom tucked into the upper floor of the inn]
RENADO
Do not worry. He merely sleeps.
So long as he continues to rest, he shall eventually open his eyes.
And these two are doing a fine job of nursing him back to health...
You two! Be calm in here!
I shall watch over the children of Ordon, I swear it. They shall never
encounter danger while I breathe.
I will take full responsibility for them until they are returned safely to
their village. You need not worry for them.
BETH
Just leave Colin to me!
You'll see, Link! Promise! I'll make him all better while you're up on the
Gorons' mountain!
LUDA
Are you going to see Gorons, Link?
I am sorry you have to do this task for us.
I will be here with Colin, so please, do not worry about him.
Leave his care to me!
I just hope you can do something about the Gorons...
[Link finds Barnes working feverishly in his bomb shop]
BARNES
Hey now! It's you.
Yeah, so I've been thinkin' 'bout gettin' things sorted out so I can go ahead
and reopen my shop...
...Thing is, I can't get the materials I need from the Gorons anymore... Man, I
ain't got a CLUE what to do!
Cripes, those danged Gorons... They're sure takin' their sweet time gettin' me
my materials!
[Link seeks passage into the Death Mountain trail He straps on the Iron
Boots, digging his heels in and plunging the Goron off of the cliff]
MIDNA
Whoa... This looks dangerous...
Is this the traditional Death Mountain welcome? Eee hee!
[Link continues climbing Death Mountain, duping Gorons and using their backs as
springboards When he jumps down the cliff, he finds clutches of docile Gorons
bathing in the springs]
SPRING GORON #1
There have been few sumo matches lately... Talk about boring, Brother.
I suppose it is because young Gorons these days have no interest in old arts
like sumo.
And former powerhouse Gor Coron is an elder... There is not much we can do,
Brother.
Without sumo matches, the hot spring is the only thing we have to look forward
to, Brother.
SPRING GORON #2
Sitting in a hot spring warms up your body and soul...and gradually fills you
up with energy, Brother.
Even Gorons need to cleanse their spirits once in awhile...
SPRING GORON #3
Sitting in an open-air bath at night is the best, Brother! I could spend
countless hours here looking at the stars! Ahhhhhhhhh!
SPRING GORON #4
Ahhhh... Nice and hot. Just like I like it...
What? What is a human doing here?
I thought the elders told us not to let humans near the mountain, but...
I suppose it is no business of mine. Come into the hot spring and refresh
yourself, Brother!
I heard there is also a hot spring down at the base of the mountain, in
Kakariko Village.
When the day comes that we can travel freely between the mountain and the
village, I would love to try it out for myself!
[Link enters the inner sanctum of the Gorons, where Gor Coron, almost a mere
shadow of a Goron in stature yet impeccable in courage, resides the Gorons
circle Link and round him up, but Gor Coron calls the hounds off]
GOR CORON
ENOUGH!
Is this young one such an imposing enemy that you must all gang up on him? I
think not, Little Brothers.
I am a Goron elder, little human. I am called Gor Coron.
Because of certain...circumstances, I must lead the Goron tribe in place of
Darbus, our tribal patriarch.
Tell me, little human, do you come from the village below?
You have done well to come this far. You are strong...for a human.
However...
The mines beyond here are sacred to my tribe. Outsiders are not allowed.
Unless...
I could make an exception...but you would have to beat me in a contest of
power. Are you willing to try, little human?
(No)
Attention, Little Brothers.
The human with the pointed hat is going home.
Be polite and see him on his way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GORON COUNCIL #1
The fact that the guards could not stop one puny human from getting in here is
a humiliation for all Gorons.
GORON COUNCIL #2
If you do not leave, I will take the elder's place and give you a thumping you
will not forget.
GORON COUNCIL #3
The elder, Gor Coron, was the tribe's patriarch before Darbus, Brother.
He may be old, but if you do not treat him with respect, you will pay dearly
for it.
GORON COUNCIL #4
Urrgh... There is no way a puny creature like you could be a match for us!
GORON COUNCIL #5
This is no place for humans! Away with you!
GORON COUNCIL #6
Unless you cheat or use some dirty tricks, you have no chance.
And if you do cheat...you will pay dearly.
ELEVAOR OPERATOR GORON
I must always remember that this path connects to a very important place.
No human outsider must pass!
GORON GUARD #1
You cannot go any farther unless the elder gives you permission.
GORON GUARD #2
No entry without the elder's permission, human.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GOR CORON
You again, little human? What are you doing back here?
(Retreat)
Bah... Do not waste my time, little human. Leave immediately.
(Challenge!)
You have asked for it, little human. And now you will get it.
[If you lose]
Your body is skinny, Brother, and so you are too light. You do not stand a
chance.
Try again later, Brother...
Eh? What is it? Do you want to try again, little human?
(No)
All right, Little Brothers, see the human off, please.
(Yes)
You think you are tough, do you? Let us find out.
[If you lose with the boots on]
Oh ho ho... Just being powerful is nothing special, Brother.
Try again later, Brother...
[If you win]
Young warrior... You have a strong will...and sharp eyes.
Fine traits... Want to see how well you can use them?
You have seen it, I would bet... The mountain, erupting without pause...
When the mountain began to rage, all four of us elders and Darbus, our
patriarch, went inside to investigate its anger.
We have a treasure that was entrusted to us by the spirits, and we must protect
it. Do you understand?
But the moment Darbus reached out and touched the treasure...everything went
wrong.
He collapsed...and before our very eyes transformed into an unspeakable
monster!
He began to rage through the mines, trailing ruin behind him...and the
eruptions grew more frequent and more severe.
We used all of our strength to seal him deep inside the mountain...
It...grieved us to do this to our patriarch...but we had no other course of
action.
I ask this favor of you, young warrior... Go to the aid of Darbus!
Make no mistake, the spirits have guided you here.
I, Gor Coron, need your help...
On behalf of my entire clan, I ask of your aid!
...You two!
Let the young warrior pass!
The mines are full of traps, all placed to protect the treasure from thieves.
And worse than traps... Since the eruptions began, foul creatures of all shapes
have settled into every corner of the mines.
Getting to the patriarch's location will not be easy. I would prepare your
blade, young warrior.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GORON COUNCIL #1
The fact that you got by so many Gorons to get here was shocking...but to beat
the elder... I am in utter disbelief.
Neither humans nor Gorons should make judgments based on appearance, I
suppose...
GORON COUNCIL #2
I am glad we heeded the elder's words and did not attack you, Brother.
It might have been we who were sent flying...
GORON COUNCIL #3
You defeated the elder, so it is possible you may be able to save our
patriarch, Brother...
Please, Brother! Help the Goron tribe...and all of Death Mountain!
GORON COUNCIL #4
Who would have imagined the elder losing...
I know! The elder let you win! There is no other way a tiny thing like you
could have won!
GORON COUNCIL #5
These mines are sacred ground that even we rarely enter, Brother.
But we do not have the strength to save the patriarch... We have no choice,
Brother...
GORON COUNCIL #6
You... Did you really win? Without cheating?
If I find out that you cheated, human, you will pay.
GORON ELEVATOR OPERATOR
Hey! Wait up, Brother!
If you are headed down, I recommend using this elevator!
This elevator leads straight to the hot spring, Brother! Just use your weight
to activate the switch!
GORON GUARD #1
The elder has given his permission, so you are welcome to enter, Brother.
GORON GUARD #2
Since you are going inside, please rescue our patriarch, Brother!
Act Three
Chapter V G o r o n M i n e s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goron Mines
[Link assails the sweltering sanctuary of the Gorons, using the Iron Boots to
magnetically impose himself to the ceiling and find the resting place of Gor
Amoto]
GOR AMOTO
Ah...
I thought I felt a presence...but what a surprise to find a young human...
Word has come to me of you...and if Gor Coron has faith in you, then your heart
must be true.
...I am one of the four Goron elders. Gor Amoto is my name.
You are heroic, young human. Please, you must lend this tribe your power.
That is one of the key shards that, when merged together, form the key to the
room where Darbus is being held. He is our patriarch.
The key is split into three pieces. Each of us elders keeps a piece.
You must hurry to the other elders!
The other two elders are at altars in the mine. They are praying...
Collect all three key shards and save our tribe's patriarch! He suffers under
the power of evil...
[After Link climbs the ladder, he finds Ooccoo in a jar]
OOCCOO
Phew! Free at last!
Gracious... You're that nice fellow who helped me out the other day! How nice
to see you again!
Well, now that we've found each other again, let's stick together for a bit,
hmm?
I'll be right with you, so if you want to warp out, just let me know!
[Gor Ebizo, the second Goron elder, is found deeper in the belly of the mines]
GOR EBIZO
Oh... Ah... The young human. I am pleased to see you make it this far,
Brudda...
I am one of the four elders of the Goron tribe. I am called Gor Ebizo.
You have heard of the plight of our patriarch. Otherwise you would not have
come to see me.
Here, take this, Brudda...
Now... There is one more shard, but seeing you has reminded me of the dangers
that line the path to it...
There is something that may help you... A weapon said to have been left in this
mine by a hero of old.
It is beyond price, and so we have protected it through generations...
Now, when our tribe balances on the brink of ruin, it could aid in our
salvation.
The Hero's weapon is stored safely up ahead...
Talk to the guard and take it with you, with the blessing of the Gorons.
There are limits to what we elders can do to contain Darbus now that he has
been overcome by evil...
You must aid us, Brudda. Please, take the Hero's weapon and head deeper as
quick as possible.
[The Goron Mines slope further into the dank abyss until Link is shrouded by
unfamiliar passageways and caverns running through impossibly deceivable
patterns Soon he comes upon the hulking, pea-headed Dangoro on a circular
platform holstered by chains, guarding the Hero's weapon of legend]
DANGORO
Whoa... Human?!
What business does a human have coming here?! None! No business!
This is forbidden place! I will protect this treasure from you!
[The platform looks ill conceived for a Goron of Dangoro's size, and it is It
lowers into the searing lava, where Link is forced to throw Dangoro to claim
the Hero's Bow as his own]
Ugh... That...hurt a lot. Who knew that humans were capable of such feats of
strength...
...Uh... Maybe...you are...going to see the patriarch of our tribe?
...Ah! So THAT is why you are here! In that case, take the weapon of the Hero
of the past...
But in exchange, you must save the patriarch of our tribe!
With skills like yours, even the patriarch can be brought back to his senses...
Take the Hero's weapon and save our patriarch!
[Link finds the final elder behind a statue in the next room]
GOR LIGGS
Ah! You are here at last!
I heard that you might pay a visit, young human. I am farsighted in all things.
Here you go...the last key shard! Combine all three shards!
If you use that key, you can open the room where Darbus, the tribal patriarch,
is being held.
Who knows how powerful Darbus is in his new grotesque form...
But I suppose I should trust your power, considering you came this far...
Hurry, now! To the patriarch's room!
The Hero's weapon you claimed...
That weapon is said to have defeated the most powerful evils this world has
ever known. It might even work to calm Darbus...
You are probably not used to it, so before going any further, you should work
with a little.
[If you let your shield set on fire]
NARRATIVE
Your shield burned up...
[Link finds Twilit Igniter Fyrus chained to columns in the final room of the
Mines Link extinguishes his fire and claims the second Fused Shadow]
MIDNA
Eee hee hee! Well done!
Now we have two Fused Shadows...
Hmm... You know, you've been very helpful so far, so as a reward, I'll tell you
an interesting story.
Zant.
That's the name of the King of Darkness who cast this pall of shadows over your
world.
He's very strong. You would be nothing to him in your current state...
But Zant will never be my king! I have nothing but scorn for his supposed
strength. Not that your Zelda is much better...
It still appalls me that this world of light is controlled by that princess. A
carefree youth, a life of luxury... How does that teach duty?
...But I guess I shouldn't begrudge her the circumstances of her life. She
didn't choose it, after all. And I would never wish harm on her...
No, as long as I can get my hands on the Fused Shadows, I'll be just fine.
Well, just one more left... Shall we? Eee hee hee!
DARBUS
Uhhgh... Urrgh...
...Hmm? What am I doing here?
Unngh... My head, it aches...
Urrrgh... So much pain... I cannot remember anything...
MIDNA
Want to go outside? Are you all done here?
(Yes)
(No)
[Link is transported to the spring in Kakariko]
ELDIN
Heroic Link...
North of here, across the plain and past the great stone bridge, in the lands
guarded by the spirit Lanayru...
You shall find one who you seek...
COLIN
Link...
Ilia...
You've got to save Ilia!
Those monsters left me with the other kids, but they must have taken her
somewhere else!
Whenever I thought I couldn't go on, I would think of you and Ilia and hold on,
Link...
See? I...I'm fine now.
Remember what I told you back in Ordon, Link?
When I grow up, I'm going to be just like you, Link!
So you don't have to worry about me anymore! Go help Ilia!
RENADO
Leave the children to me. I will watch over them, I swear it.
Do not let their fates trouble you. Go to those who need you.
In Hyrule, countless tales are told of the ancient hero...and your deeds bring
them all to mind.
May the graces of the great goddesses who shaped Hyrule bear you on your way.

Castle Under Siege
POSTMAN
Mr. Link! WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
There is a letter for you, Link. 2 letters, in fact!
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
[Link meets the twilight past the Eldin Bridge]
MIDNA
Ah, we're finally here.
There's only one Fused Shadow left...
...So this is the last of the twilight you'll see, I guess.
Whether or not you accomplish your final task and survive is up to you...
Eee hee! So what will you do?
Want me to let you into the twilight?
(No)
Wait... This is wrong.
(Yes)
All right then, I guess I'll have to help you!
But what a shame that this is the last of the twilight... I had become so fond
of seeing it covering this world...
Or... is it really the last you'll see? Eee hee!
So, shall we get going?
[Link discovers the fanny pack of Ilia on the road up ahead]
NARRATOR
Forget the Youth's Scent and learn a new smell?
(No)
(Yes)
MIDNA
You smell the girl, don't you?
I can tell by the look on your face.
Well, good. It's another clue, then.
But this scent could be quite old... I wonder if she is still all right? Eee
hee!
[Link bends around northern Hyrule Field and finds depredated stone walls
surrounding Hyrule Castle in the vestige of the twilight]
Hey, haven't we seen this castle before? Eee hee hee!
So, we finally made it back here!
Well, only a little farther, so hang in there!
Or so I'd like to say, but...
The going's a lot harder from here on out... Eee hee hee!
All right, then... Let's get started.
[Link crosses the wooden bridge and enters Castle Town from the east]
GOSSIPING WOMAN #1
Hey, so did you hear? They say that a Zora child collapsed near here!
GOSSPING WOMAN #2
I thought Zoras were typically found up north, right? I wonder why one came
down here.
GOSSIPING WOMAN #1
Well... I heard that he was taken to the bar on the other side of the southern
road.
GOSSIPING WOMAN #2
The bar? You mean Telma's place? Hmm... She's got it rough...
GOSSIPING WOMAN #1
The Zora child... I heard he was taken to the bar on the other side of the
southern road...
GOSSIPING WOMAN #2
Hmm... Telma's always got her hands full...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
PURLO
Heh heh heh... Soon I shall make a killing off this town...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HYLIAN GUARD #1
There seems to be something going on at the fountain...
HYLIAN GUARD #2
Phew... I'm gonna go put my feet up at Telma's bar when I'm done with work.
HYLIAN GUARD #3
Aww... How long do I have until this shift is over...
HYLIAN GUARD #4
......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OLD WOMAN GUIDE
The water level of Lake Hylia has gone down, and you can't cross to the
spirit's cave.
HYLIAN MAN #1
If the people who came to worship from far away heard that, they'd be very
disappointed...
HYLIAN WOMAN #2
It must be hard on Grandma, too, because she can't do her tours...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAFÉ CLERK
Oh no... I wonder why the water's out...
CAFÉ PHILOSOPHER
I know there's no water in town right now, but...the more people fret, the less
it concerns me.
It seems only the gossips are truly worried... I wonder, is it better to worry
aloud, or to keep silent? People are interesting...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAFE MAN
If this water outage continues, we soon won't be able to relax with a cup of
tea...
CAFÉ WOMAN
No tea... Such is life nowadays...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAFÉ MAN #2
Because of the water outages, they can't take any drink orders...
CAFÉ OLD WOMAN
I think that's fine... You've been drinking too much juice recently anyway...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOMAN BY FOUNTAIN #1
The fact that we can't take a bath because of the water outage... That's a big
deal!
MAN BY FOUNTAIN
I think it's fine. It's not like you smell. It doesn't bother me.
WOMAN BY FOUNTAIN #2
Well, maybe it doesn't bother YOU, but YOU'RE the one who stinks!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAN COMPLAINING BY FOUNTAIN
Hey, wait a second! What's going on with the water lately?
SOLDER BY FOUNTAIN
I don't know why you're hassling ME about this...
The only reason for there to be a water shortage here is if something has
happened at the town's water source, Lake Hylia.
WOMAN COMPLAINING BY FOUNTAIN
If you already know what the problem is, what are you still doing here?
SOLDIER BY FOUNTAIN
W-Well, er, it MIGHT be the case, but Lake Hylia is under the jurisdiction of
eastern Hyrule...
WOMAN COMPLAINING BY FOUNTAIN
Ugh! Good-for-nothing!
MAN COMPLAINING BY FOUNTAIN
So, when is this water going back to normal, huh?!
SOLDIER BY FOUNTAIN
Look, if you want Lake Hylia evaluated, you need to talk directly to someone
involved with the eastern Hyrule department...
WOMAN COMPLAINING BY FOUNTAIN
Ugh! Good-for-nothing!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN BACK OF LINE
Is this the back of the line?
WOMAN SECOND TO LAST IN LINE
Before the water supply runs out, we must stock up on water, even hot
springwater...
TALL MAN THIRD TO LAST IN LINE
I hadn't heard that there was a drought in eastern Hyrule.
STOUT MAN FOURTH TO LAST IN LINE
What's going to happen to us if we run out of hot springwater, too...
OLD WOMAN FIFTH TO LAST IN LINE
O spirits of Lanayru, please deliver merciful rain to Lake Hylia in the east...
Hrum mrum brum...
WOMAN SIXTH TO LAST IN LINE
So what the soldiers by the spring said, that was the truth!
MAN FRONT OF LINE
Is it true that Lake Hylia to the east dried up?!
SPRINGWATER VENDER GORON
I have a limited supply of hot springwater! The race goes to the swift, as it
is said!
YOUNG GORON
No pushing! If you want hot springwater, form one line!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CHILD #1
I heard a boy passed out!
CHILD #2
When? Where?
CHILD #1
I dunno...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SMALL YELLOW CAT
The person in the tent on the southeast street...makes me suspicious, meow.
LARGE YELLOW CAT
Ugh... I really want to take a bath...
LARGE BLACK AND WHITE CAT
Hmm... Human movement is so rushed and disorganized.
Maybe we should go to the central plaza to perform reconnaissance...
SMALL BLACK AND WHITE CAT
Because of the crowd in the southern street, all the kittens can't get
through... What's happening?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WESTERN THOROUGHFARE GUARD
Hahhh... I'm so bored...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HYLIAN SOLDIER #1
We've had a ton of complaints from citizens who can't send prayers to the
spring spirit of Lake Hylia.
Go there! The location is the one I showed you on the map earlier! Got it?!
What?! Study it and know it well!
I told you! The citizens are upset that they can't pray to the spring spirit of
Lake Hylia!
The location is written there on that map on the table! Have you figured it out
yet?
Study it well! And don't even THINK about shirking your duty!
I've received orders from above to investigate why we can't go to the spirit's
spring in Lake Hylia! Got that?!
ILIA
This boy... Can you save him?!
TELMA
All right, little lady, try to settle down, OK?! I just now sent for the
doctor!
But this is strange... A child of the Zoras...
I wonder if this is at all related to the incident the solders were talking
about in back...
MIDNA
Aw, what an emotional reunion! Yes, a girl and her wolf! Eee hee!
Sorry, but you know how it goes! These folks can't see you, either... Eee hee
hee!
ILIA
This boy I still so young, so innocent... To see him suffering like this...
TELMA
He'll be all right, little lady. Someone's already gone for the doctor.
I'll tell you, though, from what those soldiers in back were talking about...to
everything else...
There sure has been a rash of trouble lately...
Act Four
Chapter II S e r e n a d e o f W a t e r
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenade of Water
[To the south of Hyrule Castle is the Great Bridge of Hylia, spanning the
breadth of Lake Hylia, which is now a pitiful waterhole Link sails under the
majestic arches anchored and crumbling to the ground, but he is besieged by a
pair of Bulblins that have plastered the Great Bridge with oil and set it
ablaze]
MIDNA
...Hey, do you smell anything funny?
Oh no! We're trapped! Get out of here!
[Link leaps from the bridge and lands in the water below]
Phew... That was a close one. We're lucky there was a puddle down below, huh?
So this is Lake Hylia... But there's so little water...
It sounds like the spirit's spring should be somewhere around here as well...
Anyway, let's take a look around...
HYLIAN ZORA #1
The drop in water has been faster than predicted...
At this rate, Lake Hylia will dry up. It's a race against time...
At this rate, the lake will most definitely vanish if we don't somehow get
water from Zora's Domain upstream...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HYLIAN ZORA #2
We've had absolutely no water flowing from upstream...
HYLIAN ZORA #3
There's no mistaking it. Something must have happened at the water's source in
our home, Zora's Domain.
HYLIAN ZORA #2
Yet how are we to return upstream to our home? With the way things are now, we
can't even walk back there...
HYLIAN ZORA #3
There must be a way...
For now, we just need to find a way back upstream, to Zora's domain...
HYLIAN ZORA #2
I wonder if the queen and our peers in Zora's Domain are safe...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FYER
Hurrrm... I'm too old for this...
Fyer and Falbi's Watershop Land of Fantastication...
It's our grand reopening at our new lake-bottom location... Whee.
Hurrrm...
Yeah, nice lake... Don't lakes have more...I don't know...water?
Did the Zoras who live upriver do something?
Or is it a curse from that spirit that floats around up there?
Whatever. It's not like I can go up and complain... That's way too high.
Whuzzat, a costumer?
YIKES! IT'S A MONSTER!
Stay away... Stay away...
[Link defeats the twilight monster and tames the bird it was using as
transportation]
MIDNA
Hey! Stop it!
I'm your new master now! Settle down!
Hey! Why don't we use this guy to get us all the way to the lake's water
source?
[The bird carries Link by its claws across the span of the River Hylia and to
the source of the water]
Ah... We're already here?! That bird turned out to be more useful than I
expected.
Well, then... Where's the village of the Zoras? Let's look for it.
It's getting cold... Hurry up!
IZA
I mean, what are those Zoras up to, anyway?
The river's run totally dry, right?!
I can't work like this...
Ugh...
C-Cold!
Ahh... I miss my fur coat...
Ugh...
Whoever thought renting out boats was going to be a good idea, anyway?
S-So cold... VERY COLD!
MIDNA
Oh... Hey... What's going on here?
I thought it was getting colder...but who would have thought that it would all
be frozen?!
This is the Zora village, right? Why don't I see any, then...
Well... Anyway, let's check things out. Let's find the Zoras...
[Midna spies a ledge frozen in ice]
I think we can get up from here... Let's go...
[Link reaches the top of Zora's Domain, encapsulated in ice, and dispatches the
shadow creatures]
A portal has opened here, too! We can finally warp.
If you want to breathe the air of the world of light for a moment, let me know.
I'll take you there!
Whoa! Hey!
Down! Look below the ice!
Those... Those are the Zoras!
Wow... This is really strange...
What in the world happened?
Hey... What do you want to do? We can't just leave them like this...
I think all we need to do is thaw them out...
It does us no good to just stand here thinking... Let's leave and come back
later.
The portal should work for us. We need to find a way to melt the ice and then
come back here...
[Link warps to Death Mountain where a barbarous volcanic rock is planted in the
ground]
This thing has been here for a while now, but it's still pretty hot...
(Speak to Midna}
As big and as hot as it is, it just might be enough to melt the ice in Zora's
Domain, don't you think?
(Warp)
[If Link warps to the wrong location]
No! This isn't the right place! Get serious! Do it over!
[If Link warps it correctly, the roots of the rock are sheared from the ground
Via twilight it severs the ice in Zora's Domain; water gushes from the fall
and carries to Lake Hylia in an instant]
Who knew that something so dangerous would come in handy...
All right... The Zoras are safe now, so let's go.
The ice melted and restored the water flow to normal. Can we finally meet the
spirit of Lake Hylia?
ZORA #1
Koh... Koff!
ZORA #2
Hafff... Huffff...
ZORA #3
............
ZORA #4
Uhh, was I unconscious?
ZORA #5
Hahhh... Haffff...
ZORA #6
Hahh... Hah...
ZORA #7
H-Hey... Are you OK?
ZORA #8
A-Ahh... What about those in the waterfall pool?
ZORA #9
Huhhh... Haaaahhh...
ZORA #10
.....................
ZORA #11
I wonder, are the downstream areas going to be all right?
ZORA #12
What in the world happened?
ZORA #13
Those demons...
ZORA #14
Hahh... Haffff...
ZORA #15
Someone...helped me?
QUEEN RUTELA
Wait!
Please, you must allow me to thank you for revitalizing both my people and this
spring, which is the water source for all the lands of Hyrule.
In life, I was the elder of this Zora village and the queen of my people. I was
called Rutela.
MIDNA
Not to be rude, but we didn't exactly do it for you guys...
QUEEN RUTELA
The dark ones... They raided this village and, as a message to my people,
executed me before them.
Young man... You who takes the form of a proud beast...
I have something to ask of you.
When the dark ones descended upon our village, I sent my young one, Ralis, to
Hyrule Castle to inform Princess Zelda of our fate.
But...I fear danger followed him from this doomed place.
I feel it. His presence grows fainter to me over time...
But my time in this world has passed, and though I would give it gladly, I no
longer have a life to risk in his rescue.
Please... Would you save my dearest, Prince Ralis?
If you do this thing, I will bestow upon you the protection of water.
This power will grant you the ability to swim and respire in very deep water as
if you were a Zora.
Please... Save my son...
MIDNA
Hmm... So, if we help her, she'll grant you the power to swim in deep water
like a Zora, huh?
So... What do you say, Hero?
...Oh, but now that I think about it, I don't suppose you should meet the
prince as a wolf, huh? Eee hee!
So... No hurry to return you to the world of light, then, right?
Looks like the shock of that impact not only raised the water level, but sped
up the flow, too...
This water should flow all the way down to the lake. Why don't you let it take
you there?

Under the Great Bridge of Hylia
MIDNA
Ugh... Aren't you awake yet?
Look! We got washed all the way down to Lake Hylia, just as I predicted...
And it looks like we're right in front of the spirit's spring, to boot. Talk
about lucky...
Well, let's go! Snap out of it and get to the spirit!
LANAYRU
I am...the last of the spirits of light...consumed...by twilight...
Hero... Chosen one of the gods... You have...done well to make it this far...
Gather...my scattered Tears of Light...that were stolen by shadow... Gather
them...in this...
I am sure...you know by now...the forms...that these dark insects take...when
they steal...our light...
In this shadow realm...of twilight...the insects...are invisible...like the
humans...of this world...
Collect...my light... Lift the final cloud of twilight...that threatens to
cover...all of Hyrule...
FYER
Costumers...
won't come...
even though...
the water's back...
Maybe no one knows...
Perhaps I should go...tell folks...around town...
............
So...tired...
Hurrrm... No...customers...
And...
None likely to come...
The road above connecting...is gone and all...
Maybe I should go ask the spirit for success in business...
............
So...tired...
HYLIAN ZORA #1 (speaking of one of the insects)
What's that over there?
What was that thing?!
MIDNA
Hey! If you play that grass there, the monster bird that was just here should
come back!
...And even if you can't play it yourself, maybe you can sit there and howl the
same song...
[Link calls another bird of the twilight and is whisked back to the river,
where he tries to hone in and kill all of the insects]
Hey... Careful, now...
Take out any insects of darkness you see on the way! It's easy if you lock on
with Z, OK?
What do you think, should we try it again?
[Link is deposited on the riverbank near Zora's Domain]
IZA
What's...that? A bug?
Eww, nasty! Why's it so big?!
Golly, I am so sick of roughing it up in the boonies!
Hey... You stay away, Mr. Bug!
Shoo! Go get squished!
Huh... It's gone?
That was nasty... I hope it doesn't come back...
......Ah, well.
Golly, work is tanking just as hard as my personal life these days...
Golly... What am I going to do?!
The water's back, and I still can't get back in business...
I wish some shiny prince would just show up and fix it all.
...Ah, well.
[Link caresses the bank and finds Zoras talking on the natural bridge
overlooking the river]
ZORA #1
Do you think Prince Ralis passed through here?
ZORA #2
He must have. This is the only waterway that connects to Hyrule Castle.
Come. Let's follow this pat in search of him.
[The Zoras leap into the water and make toward Hyrule Castle Link continues
to Zoras Domain, where some of the Zoras have recovered]
ZORA #3
Prince Ralis is so young... To think the queen... Ugh...
ZORA #4
If we fracture our troop strength with too many parties searching for the
prince, our guard here will be too thin... Hmm...
ZORA #5
Not... Not our prince, too!
No... It's better not to even think such unlucky thoughts...
ZORA #6
Attacks by the shadow beasts... Volcanic boulders in the throne room... What in
the world is going on?!
ZORA #7
It appears that the cave to Snowpeak is still frozen over... I suppose we'll
have to wait a bit longer.
[Midna spies a ledge up to Zora's Domain]
MIDNA
Hey! We can climb up from here!
[Link reaches the upper crust of Zora's Domain]
ZORA #8
What's with that rock?
ZORA #9
Well, the water is at least flowing again, but it's a little vigorous...
We still need to check to see if the places that take their water from here
have been affected...
ZORA #10
Uhhh...
ZORA #11
Sniff... My queen...
ZORA #12
It would be nice if the search parties for the prince would make it back
safely...
[Link leaps from the waterfall and lets the river carry him to Hyrule Castle,
where the last insect awaits]
WOMAN BY FOUNTAIN #1
Taking baths with all the water we want... To us, there is nothing that brings
more happiness.
MAN BY FOUNTAIN
It's good. It smells good. Do I smell good too?
WOMAN BY FOUNTAIN #2
It smells like beasts...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAN COMPLAINING BY FOUNTAIN
Hey! Wait a sec! This water started bubbling up all of a sudden! What's going
on?
SOLDIER BY FOUNTAIN
I... I was going to ask you the same thing...
WOMAN COMPLAINING BY FOUNTAIN
Are you serious? YOU ARE A GOOD-FOR-NOTHING!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAFÉ CLERK
It's great that we now have water and everything, but I wonder what caused the
outage?
CAFÉ PHILOSOPHER
Though water has been restored...people still fret. And the more they do, the
less it concerns me.
It seems the worriers are the loudest... I wonder, are happier people louder,
or generally quieter? People are interesting...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAFÉ MAN #1
Apparently, the reason for the drought is that water is not flowing from the
upper stream...
But, I still...don't feel refreshed...
CAFE WOMAN
I don't feel refreshed...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CAFÉ MAN #2
Because the water's restored, they can take orders now...
CAFÉ OLD WOMAN
Well that's great...except you never order anything anyway.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OLD WOMAN GUIDE
Apparently the water is back, and you can now cross to the cave of the
spirit...
HYLIAN MAN #1
But I'll bet that the folks coming to worship will stay away for a while...
HYLIAN WOMAN #2
Those people who make a living off of those coming to worship at the lake must
be struggling...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOMAN IN LINE
Isn't this a ladies-first situation?!
What's going on here?!

CHILD #1
A boy passed out and they took him to a shop.
CHILD #2
Why? Where? They didn't take him to the hospital?
CHILD #1
I dunno...

LARGE YELLOW CAT
I'm bored... Maybe I'll take a bath and call it a day...
LARGE BLACK AND WHITE CAT
So this town finally got running water, huh...
[Link finds the last insect underneath a box next to Telma's Bar]
MIDNA
Hey! What's going on?
There should be one more... Where could the last tear be?
What?!
There it is...
What's going on? That is weird...
[Link warps to Lake Hylia and defeats the final insect]
NARRATOR
The Vessel of Light is full of tears, and light has returned to this area!
MIDNA
You make sure to get that last Fused Shadow, now!
Eee hee! See you later!
LANAYRU
My name is Lanayru.
Your efforts have at last restored each of us light spirits in Hyrule.
O hero chosen by the gods...
The dark power that you seek...
It waits in a temple set in the bed of Lake Hylia.
...But before seeking it, you must now bear witness to something...and never
forget it.
You must know that it was the will of the goddesses that we lock away the
forbidden power...
When all was chaos, the goddesses descended and gave order and life to the
world.
They granted power equally to all who dwelt in the light, and then returned to
the heavens.
The lands where the goddesses descended came to be known as the Sacred Realm.
For ages, the people lived at ease, content in mind and body...
But soon, word of the Sacred Realm spread through Hyrule, and a great battle
ensued...
Among those living in the light, interlopers who excelled at magic appeared.
Wielding powerful sorcery, they tried to establish dominion over the Sacred
Realm.
It was then that the goddesses ordered us three light spirits to intervene.
We sealed away the great magic those individuals had mastered.
You know this magic...
It is the dark power you seek...the Fused Shadow.
O hero chosen by the goddesses... Beware...
Those who do not know the danger of wielding power will, before long, be ruled
by it.
Never forget that...
The dark power that you seek is sleeping within Lakebed Temple in Lake Hylia...

Chapter IV F l i g h t t o K a k a r i k o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flight to Kakariko
HYLIAN ZORA #1
I am a member of the Zora tribe, the proud people who care for Lake Hylia.
The other Zoras are all on guard patrol at the bottom of the lake.
The bottom of this lake is a sacred place for us Zoras.
FYER
Hurrrm? Some of the Zoras are still alive down under there?
I thought maybe they dried up along with the lake...
Hey, buddy, have you heard? There's like a temple or something at the bottom of
this lake.
They put on such airs with all their rituals and fancy temple hoo-ha... Then
they just disappear...
And what's with putting that temple so deep that humans can't swim there?! I
swear, those Zoras...
Oh... Are you a costumer?
Heh heh! You are ONE luck fella, fella!
The HEIGHT of excitement, the THRILL of launching to the heavens, the very PEAK
of flying fantastication...
It can be YOURS, fella! For a limited time only, and without waiting in line,
it's a paltry 10 Rupees!
Whaddaya say, buddy of mine? Wanna give it a shot?
(No thanks)
Aww, that's too bad... It's fun. You should try it.
(Special Repairs)
Uhh...what? You got a cannon you want me to repair, bud?
Well, where is it? I can't repair it unless you bring it here!
...So what'll it be? We doing this? Or not?
If you wanna repair a cannon, you need to bring it here, buddy...
I don't do business trips, buddy. ...They're too boring.
(Give it a shot.)
Welcome, fella! And right this way!
Heh heh... Hurry up and hop on in...
[Link walks into Fyer's contraption and is launched into the sky]
Hey... You're back!
Heh heh... So, fella...I guess you liked the ride, huh? Not a bad bit of
fantastication!
MIDNA
Whoa! That reminds me of something...
Didn't the late queen in Zora's Domain ask you to do something?
She asked us to find her son! The one who's been missing since he headed for
Hyrule Castle...
I think she said something about granting you some special power if you rescued
him?
If the final piece of the Fused Shadow is on the bottom of Lake Hylia...then it
looks like we're going to need that ability!
FALBI
Well, hi there! Welcome to Falbi's Flight-by-Fowl!
Are you ready for a flight full of dreams and sweet, sweet bonuses? A Cucco-
powered ride around Lake Hylia? You will LOVE it!
Next up for fantastication... ONE BIG GUY! Er, just one?
Right, then that's 20 Rupees for a ticket to the isle of Riches. How about it,
partner?
(No)
Aww, really? How sad for you...
Well, if you change your mind, come back anytime, partner!
(Yes)
Awright! Thanks, partner!
Now, just grab a Cucco of any color and try to sail to the Isle or Riches!
What's the matter, partner?
So, what color do you fancy, partner?
What's the matter, partner?
There are loads of places hiding treasures out there! Find your very own
storehouse of dreams!
[Along the way to Hyrule Castle Link is intercepted by the Postman]
POSTMAN
MR. LINK! WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
There is a letter for you, Link. 2 letters, in fact!
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
[In Telma's Bar the Zora child lays dying, inscrutable from the doctor's
medicine]
DOCTOR BORVILLE
That is a Zora child! That is beyond my expertise! Hmmmph!
ILIA
Doctor, wait! If something isn't done, this child will...
[A glance escapes out of Ilia's eyes, but she does not recognize Link Link
helplessly takes a step toward her]
TELMA
Well, this isn't good. A human doctor won't do, huh...
That old coot reminded me, though... I've heard of a shaman in Kakariko
Village, in the Eldin lands, who's tended Gorons and Zoras.
ILIA
Is that true? Perhaps if we take him there...
HYLIAN SOLDIER #1
Inadvisable! Too dangerous!
But we can't turn a blind eye to a pretty girl in need, either.
Yes, we'd better escort you! Am I right, boys?!
TELMA
Well, isn't that nice.
To reach Kakariko, we've got to cross two plains that are each infested by
dangerous beasts.
But we'll be safe now!
[At the mention of monsters the soldiers scurry through the door]
Cowards! Don't EVER show your faces here again!
Oh my!
Looks like we've got one young swordsman left!
And not only that, but it looks like this brave young man will escort us, so
get ready to go, honey. Pronto!
You know that girl, don't you?
It's a real shame... She can't even remember her own name right now.
Bless her heart...
She found this poor boy collapsed in the road, so she did all she could to save
him.
More courage in that girl than in all the soldiers of Hyrule, for sure!
You lend your strength to her, you hear me?
So you say the bridge to the west has been destroyed, huh? Then our only option
is to cross the bridge to the east.
You see what that means?
You'll have to deal with that thing!
[Link straddles Epona and escorts Telma and Ilia, who are in a covered wagon
with the Zora child]
ILIA
Th-Thank you so much for this. Um, if you don't mind me asking, what's your
name?
...Link?!
I will never in all my life forget your kindness, Link.
TELMA
Little lady, I think you'd best save your thanks until we're safe in
Kakariko...
This swordsman of ours has great eyes, honey. They're proud and wild...like a
feral beast.
We need a beast right now, to keep the true ones at bay. If we make it to
Kakariko safely, we'll just thank him then, OK?
You ready to roll, Link? You've got to protect these young ones on the way to
Kakariko!
[They soon come upon the Great Bridge, where King Bulblin proudly stalks its
expanse]
OK, it's your turn, honey! We're counting on you!
[Link plants an arrow between the King Bulblin's armor, impugning his reign
over the bridge]
Nice, honey! Keep up the good work!
[If you approach the gate past the bridge while the wagon is on fire]
MIDNA
Isn't there anyone who wants to help the Zora child?
The late queen told us in Zora's Domain! If we save him, she'll give us a
special power!
[Link escorts Telma's wagon past southern Hyrule Field and into Kakariko
Village, where Renado takes the child into the inn and cares for him]
RENADO
...He has passed through the worst of it. As long as he rests, he should
recover in due time.
Do you know the fate of his mother?
Her welfare consumes him. He has been mumbling deliriously about her almost
constantly...
...I can see the knowledge grieves you. It must be an awful memory.
COLIN
I'll stay with him until he's better! No matter how long it takes!
RENADO
Is that so? Thank you, Colin.
COLIN
Hey, Link, about Ilia...
Is it true, what they say about her?
RENADO
Yes, she has lost her memory, Colin, and regaining it will be no simple task.
But it will be all right, child.
If we just give her some time, I am certain that Ilia will find her heart
again.
So, Colin, I'd like to ask you to stay in this village until then. It is our
turn to show the courage that you have already displayed.
TELMA
Nice to see there's still hope here. And it's always good to see happy results
repay your efforts...
Those skills of yours... Any chance you're of the mind to put them to use for
Hyrule?
What hope there is in our kingdom is frail and dying...but there's still a
group trying to do what it can.
And I'm a member of that group.
Call me Telma.
I may just stay here a bit longer. I'm still worried about Ilia, and... Well,
never mind about the rest.
Link, I want to see you again at my bar, you hear me?
The bar is actually a kind of safe house for my friends. There's a passageway
that leads to the castle from in there, as well.
If you ever need something, stop by, I'll be waiting for you, honey!
[Link ascends the top floor of the inn where the Zora child is being cared for]
ILIA
Thanks to you, this child is saved.
I want to thank you for being so kind to someone like me... Someone you don't
even know.
Through Renado's kindness, I, too, have been allowed to stay a little longer
under his care in this village.
The children here are all so kind. Such a lovely little village...
LUDA
I will stay here beside him!
Are you going to continue your journeys, Link?
Good luck! And please, do not worry about us!
COLIN
This boy is really sick, and now it sounds like the rest of the Zoras are in
trouble, too, right?
I'm gonna try to help him get better quickly so we can take him home!
BETH
I'll take care of this boy.
The shaman's been really worried about this boy, but I think he's also worried
about the Zora tribe.
Link, you've gotta help! Please help the Zoras!
[The Postman is squatted in front of the hearth in the bottom floor of the inn]
POSTMAN
I dropped a letter into the hot spring and now I can't read it! Gotta blow this
thing dry...
[Queen Zora appears to Link in the gloom of Kakariko, shimmering like a mirage
She guides Link to the Graveyard]
QUEEN RUTELA
This way...
I am deeply grateful to you for aiding my son in his time of need.
You were right to bring him here. Kakariko Village is a sacred place for the
Zora people. It is where we take our eternal rest.
My husband in life, King Zora, also rests his spirit here.
It is no coincidence my son found his salvation in this place.
...That which I have promised you is within this grave.
During his lifetime, my husband created garments specifically for the chosen
hero, garments that house the abilities of the Zora.
Now, at last, I can join my king in slumber.
And yet... My son... He still knows nothing of my death.
If you see him again, please pass on this message...
Tell him he must not grieve his mother's passing. Tell him she wanted him to be
brave and live as the king of our people.
And... Tell him his mother... loves him without end. Tell him...
MIDNA
Well, it's a good thing you found all of your friends and picked up that nifty
Zora armor...
But aren't you forgetting something kind of important?
That last Fused Shadow...
Remember what Faron the light spirit said...
He said you would need the Fused Shadows to defeat the dark overlord Zant and
save the world...
So even if you go back now with all of the people you saved... The whole
tragedy would just repeat itself...
So let's go get it!
We need to go to the temple on the lake bed of Lake Hylia.

Lakebed Temple
RENADO
Something about that Zora boy is giving me a feeling of...unease.
I worry that something may have happened to the Zoras of Lake Hylia...
...But I must first find a way to recover Ilia's memory. She suffers, and I
must help.
If I discover anything, I will let you know immediately, so please allow me a
little more time...
I must find a way to recover Ilia's memory! I must!
...But the fate of the Zoras still gives me pause. I hope nothing is wrong on
the lake bed.
TELMA
Have you listened to everything Renado has to say?
I'm worried about Ilia too...but I'm more concern about the Zoras of Lake Hylia
right now.
Of course, I agree with Renado completely. This man is ASTUTE!
You go on now, Link! See after the Zoras at the lake!
Mercy, this boy is simple...
Hurry! Go to the Zoras!
VILLAGE GORON #3
Do you know about the new product, the water bomb?
They're so superb, Brother, that you can use them underwater! If you don't have
any yet, you should buy some!
But enough about that, Brother...
If you ever want to get on top of this shop, just climb up on my back, Brother!
BARNES
Hey! I've been waitin' on you!
Take a peek at this! I finished my water bombs!
These little fellas are so advanced, you can even use 'em in the water! Oh,
they'll come in handy, guaranteed. You gonna buy some?
All right, now! Take a good gander at Master Barnes's handmade bombs!
A very good day to you, sir! Welcome to the incredibly fancy bomb buyback
counter!
Mercy me, what do we have here? It appears you have some bombs! Allow me a
moment's peek into that bag...
Now... (kind of bombs), huh... If you're of mind to sell those, I'll buy (X)
bombs for (X) Rupees. How does that sound, sir?
(No thanks.)
What? Are you quite sure, sir? How unfortunate... Bear in mind I'll always buy
any bombs you care to sell later on. Just bring them here!
(Sure! I'll sell!)
Splendid! I'll give you (X) Rupees for your (X) bombs!
Very well, then! Farewell!
[Link takes the water bombs and dives to the depths of Lake Hylia]
HYLIAN ZORA #1
Sir, you wear the garb of the hero in my people's legends...
Are you, perhaps...?
Well met! I, dear hero, am a maker of bombs.
Pardon me for asking... Have you heard of water bombs?
They are very dangerous indeed, but you should be able to master them. I am
sure you would find them quite useful.
How would you like to buy some of my handmade water bombs for 90 Rupees? Hmm?
(Don't buy.)
Is that so... Well, let me know if and when you have need of a bomb that
explodes underwater.
Well, just for you, I would part with these water bombs for 90 Rupees. What do
you say?
(Buy!)
Let me put these in your bag... If you ever run out of water bombs, please come
back for more.
HYLIAN ZORA #2
Can you see the bubbles rising from the depths?
It's dangerous to swim too close. That current is strong enough to carry away
most people...
HYLIAN ZORA #3
The place beyond this rock is sacred to my people. It was once called the Zora
Temple.
But now it has been overrun by monsters... They're everywhere...
All we could do was seal them in so they do not bring darkness to others...
[Link destroys the rock deterring entrance into the Lakebed Temple]
The temple inside is nothing but a nest of darkness now! You must not enter!
...Did you really do it?
The creatures of darkness have made the inside of this temple their home. It's
dangerous, so I must ask that you turn back.
[Link enters the temple Up ahead stalactites break from the ceiling and embed
themselves into the soft dirt below]
MIDNA
Woah! That's treacherous...
Whoa! Don't you think you ought to knock down those stalactites hanging off the
ceiling first?
They don't look to be very stable. I'd bet they'd break pretty easily if you
hit them with enough force, don't you think?
[At the end of the dungeon Link defeats the Twilit Aquatic Morpheel and claims
the last Fused Shadow as his own]
There it is! The last Fused Shadow...
I'll just take that, thanks!
Now, don't resent me for all I've put you through. I NEED this thing!
Besides, we have to do something about Zant, the one who thinks he is the king
of shadows...
His power is a false one...
I'll prove it using these!
So...
I've done everything I needed to. I'm sorry for dragging you all over the place
with me...
So... Shall we go?
Want to go outside? Are you all done here?
(Yes)
(No)
[Link is transported to Lanayru's cave He turns around...and into the arms of
Zant]
MIDNA
Zant!
ZANT
Did you honestly mean to take an ancient and withered power like this and turn
it against me?
You are a foolish traitor, Midna.
Why do you defy your king?
MIDNA
My KING? You, who do nothing but abuse the magic of your tribe? You must be
joking!
ZANT
How dare you?! Are you implying that my power is...our old magic?
Now THAT is a joke!
This power is granted to me by my god! It is the magic of the King of Twilight,
and you WILL respect it!
My Midna... Did you forget? That beast is one of the light dwellers who
oppressed our people.
No matter how much you may desire otherwise, you will never be more than a
shadow in their world. You cannot consort with their kind!
But if we can make their world ours, Midna...light and darkness will meet at
last.
Our tribe will take back their realm...and sweet darkness will blot out this
harsh light!
And that, Midna, is why...
I need you.
Not just for me, but for all of our people... Lend me your power.
So be it... I will return you to the light world you covet!
[Zant exposes Midna to the light Her frailty exposed, she becomes a withered
creature dying in the voluminous light of Lanayru Before Zant can act, the
light spirit transports Link and Midna to northern Hyrule Field]
LANAYRU
Link, hero chosen by the goddesses...
Go to the princess locked away in the castle.
That princess holds the key that can unlock you from your shadow form...

I just hate the rain... I can't get comfortable whether I sit or stand!
Maybe my sixth sense is trying to tell me something...
Yeah... I just can't get comfortable today...
BROWN CAT #1
Eek! That thing on your back... Is it all right?
That Zora kid came through here looking as bad as that. Why don't you take this
one to Telma's bar, too?
You should ask Telma at the bar about helping the creature on your back...
FROG
Ribbit! Normally I live in the underground passageway, but I came out because
of the good weather.
Have you ever been below this town? It's really spacious!
After all, the underground passage was made so that the Hyrule soldiers could
escape. Ribbit!
The underground passageway stretches about town and is very spacious! Ribbit!
BLACK CAT
Oh, hello. This is my first time in this town...
I'm looking for someone named Louise. She's supposed to know this town well.
Where's the bar?
It looks like there is no bar on this street... Maybe I'll look somewhere else.
LARGE BLACK AND WHITE CAT #2
It's really coming down... At this rate, today's meeting will be cancelled...
SMALL BLACK AND WHITE CAT
You look so stern... With that look on your face, you'll frighten the humans!
BROWN CAT #2
Haven't seen your face around here before...
If you want to know about this town, then you should ask Louise, Telma's cat.
If you want to know about this town, you should ask Louise at Telma's.
[Link enters Telma's Bar but is cast out by the Goron]
GORON ESCORT
Beast! Get out!
[Louise, Telma's cat, speaks to Link from the window ledge]
LOUISE
You there!
You're Link, correct?
Mmm, yes, I thought so. I could just tell, you know.
I'm Louise. Do you remember meeting me in this shop before? Though I don't
think we were properly introduced...
In any case, I must tell you, I'm a bit puzzled as to why you look like that.
Really, dear, you can't blame the humans for tossing you out, the way you look.
Oh... Another patient? You certainly are a curious sort...
MIDNA
...Plea... Please...
Princes...Z-Zelda...
LOUIS
This way!
Here, get in through the window. The attic is connected to the castle's
waterway.
It's an old waterway, though...so it could be a rough trip.
Well... I suppose all that's left to do is make sure that the humans don't
notice you.
Shouldn't you hurry to the castle, dear? Use the window and find the passage in
the back of the attic!
Are you so heavy...that you can't jump high enough? Oh my.
There must be another way to climb in! Think!
What? They kicked you out again?
Difficult to be stealthy when one is so bulky, I'd imagine...
Be careful when the footing's not stable or you'll fall, dear.
Do walk carefully when you move around the attic.
Be careful when the footing's not stable or you'll fall, dear.
[Link enters through the window and straddles the tightropes]
GORON ESCORT
The elder told me to escort Telma, but...
This city air does not suit my skin...
Ugh...
I cannot wait to return home and soak in the hot spring...
TELMA
How's it come to this, huh? Monsters walking in the streets of town...
What in the WORLD are the soldiers in Hyrule doing?!
The Gorons are so much more reliable than they are, it's not even funny!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AURU
I heard that an acquaintance of Telma's defeated the beast that had been
attacking tourists on the bridge.
Yes, you remember that young man who came by here the other day?
His name was Link...
ASHEI
You don't mean...the hero-type?
Unbelievable... So that getup wasn't just a costume...
SHAD
Well now, if that isn't a bit of a shock! I was rather snotty to him, if I
recall...
I suppose I should apologize when I see him next... I'd hate for him to resort
to fisticuffs or some such!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[If you knock a jar to the ground]
GORON
What?! What was that sound?!
[Link escapes through a hole on the other side and plummets into Jovani's
house]
JOVANI
H-Hey! Where did that ghost come from?!
H-Hey! Don't just stand there! Get that ghost!
[Link defeats the Poe]
Oh... Th-Thanks for beating the ghost. Can I call you...doggie?
I'm Jovani. I...became consumed by greed long ago, and sold my soul to a dark
creature that did this to me...
I can't move... I can't go see my girlfriend... My pet cat Gengle is frozen on
my head... I don't think I could be more miserable...
I have to ask you a favor, doggie... Can you find and defeat the 20 ghosts that
lurk in the dark for me?
I think if you can free the pieces of my soul from the ghosts that hold them,
I'll be free...
Oh, but it's raining out now, so I don't think you can go outside directly.
I'll open the door to the underground waterway for you...
Once the rain stops, you can come back in here by digging around the front wall
where the cats gather... Understand, doggie?
That treasure chest is connected to the underground waterway... You can get out
from there.
Once you've found and defeated the 20 ghosts that lurk in the darkness, come
here by digging by the wall where the cats gather...
[Link lurks through the ancient underground passageways of Hyrule Castle,
sweeping up until he is on the roof He leaps from shingle to shingle,
entering Zelda's room through a window]
MIDNA
Please... Please tell me... How do we break...the curse on this one?
This...is the one... You need him...to save your world!
That's why... Princess... Please... You must help Link...
ZELDA
What binds him is a different magic than what transformed him when he first
passed the curtain of twilight. It is an evil power.
Our world is one of balance... Just as there is light to drive away darkness,
so, too, is there benevolence to banish evil.
Head for the sacred grove that lies deep within the lands guarded by the spirit
Faron.
There you will find the blade of evil's bane that was crafted by the wisdom of
the ancient sages... the Master Sword.
The Master Sword is a sacred blade that evil can never touch.
Evil cloaks you like a dark veil...and that blade is the only thing that can
cleave it.
Link... Hero sent by the goddesses...
Like you, I have been granted special powers by the goddesses...
MIDNA
Fine... Link... You can... You can get to the woods...on your own, right?
Princess... I have one last request...
Can you tell him...where to find the Mirror of Twilight?
ZELDA
Midna... I believe I understand now just who and what you are...
Despite your mortal injuries, you act in our stead...
These dark times are the result of our deeds, yet it is you who have reaped the
penalty.
Accept this now, Midna. I pass it to you...
[Zelda passes on her power and disappears]
MIDNA
No! Link! STOP HER!
We go back, Link! Back to Faron Woods!
Zelda... I've taken all that you had to give...though I did not want it.

The Blade of Evil's Bane
[Deep within Faron Woods Link finds a monkey attacked by wooden puppets He
aids the monkey and dispatches them]
MONKEY
Did... Did you save me?
Th-Thank you!
Listen, since you're so nice, let me tell you something: there's a really
pretty wooden area on the other side of this cliff!
I climbed over there, but when I tried to get deeper into the woods, THOSE guys
attacked me!
What's in those woods, anyway?
That sure is a pretty forest...
You know, the one I found over there, on the other side of the cliff.
If you're going, please be careful!
Your smell... It's so familiar...
It smells a bit like a green-clad prince who helped me out once!
MIDNA
So there's another section of forest beyond this cliff.
All right, Link, let's go!
[Link leaps from cliff to cliff amongst the massive web of foliage - A howling
stone is embedded at the foot of the Sacred Grove, and Link howls Zelda's
Lullaby to open passage into the forest - The Skull Kid tries to lose Link in
the lost woods, but past the perpetual gloom and the crumbling relics and the
armies of puppets culled from the flute, Link defeats the Skull Kid]
SKULL KID
Hee hee hee! ...'Bye!
GUARDIANS OF THE SACRED GROVE
We are guardians of this land...
Guide us to where we once stood.
Only then can you enter the true Sacred Grove...
Beast who speaks to our hearts... what would you have of us?
(Try again}
(Quit}
{Continue}
Go now to the sacred place, beast...
We yield passage to the Sacred Grove...
[The stairs slope up through the decayed ruins of the Temple of Time and into
the presence of the Blade of Evil's Bane, a mythical sword crafted to protect
the Sacred Realm and wielded by the hero of legend It is the only thing still
standing amongst the death and ruin, as if was the only survivor of an ancient
blitz, with the feel that nary a hand had been laid on it since the legendary
hero As he approaches, a light shines forth from the blade, and a strong wind
blows His fur whips out behind him, but he stands strong, growling at the
legendary sword as if it was a test of his courage Now unshackled from his
beast form, he unsheathes the sword from the bed of rock on the ground, and as
the fogs rolls away and the forest becomes lucid and clear, he holds it
triumphantly above his head]
MIDNA
The sword accepted you as its master...
This thing is the embodiment of the evil magic that Zant cast on you.
It's definitely different from our tribe's shadow magic...
Careful... If you touch it, you'll turn back into a beast!
This thing is too dangerous... It's probably for the best if we just leave it
here, huh?
But on the other hand...if we kept it, you'd be able to transform into a beast
anytime you wanted...
Yes, since Zant was kind enough to give this to us, we should be thankful and
use it all we can!
If you need it, just call me. I want to keep a low profile, so I'll hide in
your shadow when you're human, but I can change you whenever.
You can be a wolf anytime you like! Also, thanks to this thing, you can warp
whenever you want by switching into wolf form...
Hey, but listen, Link... I've got a little favor to ask...
Would you mind coming with me to find something called the Mirror of Twilight?
It's hidden somewhere in Hyrule...
Yes, the Mirror of Twilight... Our last potential link to Zant!

POSTMAN
Mr. Link!
WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
It is a letter from Telma.
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TELMA
Oh my... If it isn't Link!
You made it! How've you been, honey?!
Mercy, but you have good timing. I was just talking about you!
Hey, everyone! Introduce yourselves!
This handsome young man is the infamous Link!
You remember what I told you before, honey?
These are those friends I mentioned, the ones who are trying to help deal with
all the troubles in Hyrule.
Actually, there's one more of us, but there's been a disturbing turn of events
in the eastern desert, so he's gone to check it out.
He's an older man named Auru. If you happen to meet him, definitely take the
time to talk with him, OK, honey?
Well, you've come all the way here, honey, so why don't you relax a bit.
Why don't you be sociable and talk to these folks? They're a jolly bunch!
How's that Ilia doing, honey?
I'm sure that shaman will find a way to get her memory back. That Renado is a
talented man, for sure!
Anyway, honey, you've got your own things to worry about, so you just make sure
you do what needs doing right now, OK?
Listen, honey, if you're puzzled about what you ought to be doing, why not go
see our friend Auru? There's a man who knows things!
He's out checking the eastern desert of Hyrule.
If you need detailed directions, just take a peek at that map on the table.
That old codger Auru is at Lake Hylia, studying the desert.
SHAD
Oh, hello there! You must be Link, correct?
I'm Shad. Wonderful to meet you.
Sorry about the ribbing I gave you the other day, old boy.
This town is rather teeming with odd sorts, so I was just being careful.
Telma told me all you've been up to. You're rather formidable!
I'm rather NOT, I'm afraid. Well, I'm formidable at book reading, but I lack,
shall we say, physical skills.
That said, if the history and legends of Hyrule are your cup of tea, I'm your
fellow! If you're curious, just ask away.
At the moment I'm absolutely entranced by the sky beings known as the Oocca.
Yes, according to legend, Hyrule was made by the Hylians, who, as we all know,
are the closest race to the gods.
But also according to legend, long ago there was a race even closer to the
gods, and some say THESE creatures made the Hylians.
When they created the people of Hylia, they simultaneously created a new
capital, a city that floated in the heavens.
They dwelt there...and some scholars believe that this race lives there still,
somewhere in the great sky.
Sky beings... Isn't that simply marvelous, old boy? What I wouldn't give to
meet them!
Would you care to hear about the sky beings again?
(Yes)
Very well! I'm pleased to have found another who shares my passion for the
subject.
(No)
Are you quite sure? I don't mind... Really?
ASHEI
...It's Ashei.
Listen, sorry I was so nasty the other day.
I thought you were like those sorry excuses for Hyrule soldiers...but I thought
wrong.
I grew up in the mountains with my father, who was a knight in his own right.
He taught me the arts of war as though I was his son.
Of course, lessons in common courtesy were not part of the regimen, so forgive
me if I come off as rude, yeah?
Listen, before I blab both of your ears off, I want to tell you something.
Snowpeak, the mountain to the north of Hyrule... It's unlike any mountain I've
ever known.
I don't know much yet, but things happen there that happen on no other mountain
I know of.
...Evil controls it...
As soon as I know something more, I'll tell you. Until then, you should stay
away, yeah?
Don't go near Snowpeak for a while, yeah?
I'm looking into it more now, but trust me, that's no ordinary mountain...
As soon as I have more information, I'll let you know, yeah?
RUSL
......
It has been a long time...
Link!
My wife, Uli, sent word to me. I have seen the children in Kakariko Village!
And, of course, I have also heard of your adventures!
I must thank you for your help with Colin, Link.
I barely recognized him... In any case, I am troubled by my own inaction. I
wanted to help the cause.
These friends here... I have had a connection with them for a long while.
Like the others, I am gathering information now. I will let you know if I hear
anything.
I am gathering information now, as well, so I will let you know if I hear
something.
POSTMAN
What to order, what to order... I do believe I will start with meat.
[Link warps to Lake Hylia and finds Auru stationed upon a high tower at the
edge of the greater kingdom of Hyrule]
AURU
I thought it was about time for you to arrive...
Master Link, is it?
Please forgive my rudeness in the bar the other day.
You do know Telma, don't you? I am Auru. I am part of the group that Telma
kindly allows to meet at her bar.
I have heard all about your deeds from her.
Now... You being a courageous youth... You have likely heard of the strange
events in the desert and come to investigate, no?
Or am I mistaken?
You do know, don't you, Master Link?
The Gerudo Desert once held a prison built to hold the worst criminals this
land has ever known...
The criminals who were sentenced to death were sent directly to the underworld
by a cursed mirror that was kept in the prison...
Now that prison is condemned, and even the road leading to the desert is
impassable.
This desert at world's end... It still holds the cursed mirror and the malice
of the doomed inmates...
These old bones know that the evil currently plaguing Hyrule is related to this
wicked place. So I have come to learn the truth...
Master Link, I must ask... What will you do now?
Don't tell me you plan to enter the desert and confirm my suspicions with your
own eyes?!
(No)
I see...
Well, not to pry, but if you were going to the desert, then I could have told
you how to get there...
Yes Master Link... What is the trouble?
Do you intend to venture into the desert?
(No)
I see...
So if you change your mind, please let me know, I can be of some help...
(Yes)
Ah, is that so...
Then let good old Auru help you out...
You see Lake Hylia below us? A man named Fyer runs an amusement ride of sorts
there. Give him this.
See, long ago, I saved this man Fyer's life, and now he cannot refuse me if I
ask a favor.
If you leave the rest up to Fyer, all should go well.
Just give my note to Fyer, the man who runs the amusement ride in Lake Hylia.
If you leave the rest to Fyer, all should go well.
FYER
Hrrrm... From old Auru, huh...
Ah well, I guess I oughta do what the old coot says...
Oasis flight...right?
So here you go, one of our secret options not available to the general
public...
This time's all paid for...so whaddaya say? You wanna go?
(Go)
All right then... But remember, next time, you gotta pay!
Sweet sailing, buddy of mine. One for oasis...fire in the hole!
(Later)
...Pffft, really? Why come all this way just to chicken out?
Hurrm, blast it... Well, you get ready, then. I'll wait here, OK?
So... What's next for you?
You're raring to go, huh? That's the desert oasis flight...right?
Ready to give it a shot? If you want not to, press B!
[If you press B]
What?! Hurrrm... Can't figure out what you're waiting on, fella...
The mysterious charms of the desert await...so get on with it!
(Oasis flight)
Heh heh... All right, buddy of mine! Let's get you zooming!
Yeah, this time is free just 'cause I don't need to be getting an earful from
the old fella later on.
So then... One for the oasis flight!
Heh heh... Hurry up and hop on in...

Chapter IV A r b i t e r ' s G r o u n d s
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Arbiter's Grounds
MIDNA
Wait, Link.
Before we go on, there's something I want you to hear.
...Do you remember what the spirit said about the Fused Shadows?
What do you think happened to the magic wielders who tried to rule the Sacred
Realm?
They were banished. They were chased across the sacred lands of Hyrule and
driven into another realm by the goddesses.
It was another world entirely... The antithesis of Hyrule, where the sun shines
bright.
Its denizens became shadows that could not mingle with the light.
Eventually, most came to call it the Twilight Realm, and from it, none could
return to the world of light...
They were forever doomed to live in the twilight, flitting in the half-light of
dusk, mere shadows of Hyrule...
This is the history of the Twili as it has been passed down from our
ancestors...
Do you now understand what I am?
I'm a descendant of the tribe that was banished to the Twilight Realm!
It was a peaceful place...until Zant took control of the Twilight Realm and
transformed all of the Twili into shadow beasts.
It's clear to me now that he somehow gained a great evil power previously
unknown to our tribe...
In any case, I was sent from there, and could no longer get into the Twilight
Realm without his power.
...But there's another tale told by my people.
Though the goddesses forbade us to return to the world of light, they left one
link between the light and the darkness.
Something called the Mirror of Twilight was passed to the protectors of
Hyrule...
It's our only path to the Twilight Realm...and we must get there!
You'll come with me...won't you?
[Along the Gerudo Mesa you will find the piece of the Eldin Bridge]
What is this thing?
(Speak to Midna)
It does seem to be man-made. I wonder what it is?
Why is it there? It doesn't look like it's been there long, does it?
(Warp)
[If you warp it to the wrong location]
Hey! Are you doing that on purpose to make me mad?!
Are you trying to drive me crazy, bringing me to a place like this?! Give me a
break!
[Link comes upon an enemy encampment He slays the Bulblins and saddles a
boar, slicing through the wooden fences and into the bounds of the greater
coliseum known as Arbiter's Grounds Link enters the dungeon, an ancient tomb
slithering down into the core of earth Zant awaits at the end of the dungeon]
ZANT
You still live... How astonishing. No wonder some call you "hero".
But this is truly a bittersweet reunion... Truly!
For I fear this is the last time I will see you alive!
[Zant impressions his sword into the skull of an ancient demon, resurrecting
Twilit Fossil Stallord Link does battle with it using his spinner as
leverage, defeating the reborn demon]
MIDNA
All right, Link, let's go!
We're close to the Mirror of Twilight...
[Link ascends to the crown of Arbiter's Ground and finds the Mirror of Twilight
shattered]
SAGES
A dark entity lurks in the twilight... It houses an evil power...
SAGE OF FIRE
You who are guided by fate... You who possess the crest of the goddesses...
Hear us.
SAGE OF SHADOW
At the command of the goddesses, we sages have guarded the Mirror of Twilight
since ancient times.
SAGE OF FOREST
You seek it...but the Mirror of Twilight has been fragmented by mighty magic.
SAGE OF SPIRIT
That magic is a dark power that only he possesses...
SAGE OF LIGHT
His name is...
Ganondorf.
SAGES
He was the leader of a band of thieves who invaded Hyrule in the hopes of
establishing dominion over the Sacred Realm.
He was known as a demon thief, an evil-magic wielder renowned for his
ruthlessness...
But he was blind...
In all of his fury and might, he was blind to any danger, and thus was exposed,
subdued, and brought to justice.
Yet...
By some divine prank, he, too, had been blessed with the chosen power of the
gods.
His abiding hatred and lust for power turned to purest malice...
Perhaps that evil power has been passed on to Zant...
MIDNA
You're just now figuring out where Zant got his power? It's far too late...
SAGES
Only the true leader of the Twili can utterly destroy the Mirror of
Twilight...so Zant could merely break it into pieces.
Once broken by magic, the Mirror of Twilight became fragments, which even now
lie hidden across the land of Hyrule.
SAGE OF LIGHT
One is in the snowy mountain heights...
SAGES OF SPIRIT AND FOREST
One is in an ancient grove...
SAGES OF FIRE AND SHADOW
And one is in the heavens...
SAGES
You who have been sent by the goddesses... You should be able to gather the
three pieces...
But you must be prepared, for a dangerous power resides in those fragments...

POSTMAN
Mr. Link! WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
It is a letter from Barnes.
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TELMA
How's that Ilia doing, honey?
I'm sure that shaman will find a way to get her memory back. That Renado is a
talented man, for sure!
Anyway, honey, you've got your own things to worry about, so you just make sure
you do what needs doing right now, OK?
Now, I'm not doubting you, honey, but if you're wondering what you ought to be
doing, you ought to go talk to our friend Ashei.
She's up on Hyrule's northern mountain checking things out, and she's got good
instincts, trust me.
If you need details directions, just take a peek at that map on the table.
Ashei mentioned Snowpeak Mountain and headed off...
AURU
Say... Link! You're alive and well!
Tell me, did you find anything of interest at the Arbiter's Grounds in the
desert?
The sages... Those sages once served the royal family, actually. They were
appointed as tutors to the young Princess Zelda.
It was from them that I first heard tales of the accursed mirror in the
Arbiter's Grounds.
Did you see the sad state of Hyrule Castle?
It's the urgent desire of this group of ours to restore peace to this kingdom
as swiftly as possible.
Link... Please continue to lend us your strength!
[Link arrives in Zora's Domain]
ZORA #1
For some reason, a suspicious person has been wandering around our domain
lately.
I didn't see him...but there were some witnesses near the waterfall basin, I
think.
ZORA GUARD #3
I heard that the mountain beast has been frequenting our village lately.
The beast never came to the village before. I wonder what brings him...
ZORA #2
There seems to be no end to the mayhem that's befallen us since our queen
passed on...
SWIMMING ZORA #1
Have you heard?
(Yes)
You've got good ears. I only just learned it myself...
(No)
Apparently, the beast of the snowy mountains came here. At least, that's what
some folks who saw him are claiming...
SWIMMING ZORA #2
It is our responsibility to protect this village as we wait Prince Ralis's
return.
ZORA #3
A suspicious girl has been seen around this area lately... I wonder what brings
her?
ZORA SOLDIER #2
Things have been in such an uproar lately... I'm on patrol in an attempt to
beef up security in our domain.
ZORA SOLDIER #3
Apparently, the beast of Snowpeak mountain has been appearing in this town
frequently of late.
Why the beast who normally lives on Snowpeak would come down to the village...
Well, we don't have a clue as to why this would be.
ZORA SOLDIER #4
There's a rumor going around that a suspicious person has been seen around here
lately.
I wonder if those in the throne room have been informed of this...
ZORA SOLDIER #5
Snowpeak is up ahead. It's very treacherous.
Not only has the weather been bad lately, but because the beast has been coming
to the village, we have been taking extra precautions.
[Link departs for Snowpeak Mountain on the behest of Telma, where he finds
Ashei waiting on a distant cliff]
ASHEI
[If you've met her before]
Link.
What brings you to a dangerous place like this?
[If you've never met her]
Hey... You're Link yeah?
I've heard great things about you... Telma looks out for me, so I stop by her
bar pretty often. I'm Ashei.
Anyway... What are you doing in a dangerous place like this?
Ever since Zora's Domain got covered in ice, this mountain's been much colder
than usual, yeah?
Not only that, but I heard a really weird story from the Zoras.
Apparently, the beast that lives somewhere on this mountain has been seen
frequently in Zora's Domain.
I was curious, so I came and waited...and as they'd said, a giant appeared!
Yeah, it looked like this...
Apparently, this thing's been stealing red fish from the village.
I want to investigate further...but I can't even see the path through this
blizzard, yeah?
I'm sure you're here because you're curious about the mountain, but best not go
without a plan.
If you go into this blizzard without a plan, you'll get lost...and that'll only
lead to disaster, trust me.
The only clues we have right now are the stories of the Zoras and my sketch.
It's not much, I know.
MIDNA
What a terrible storm... Looks like you're not welcome here...
Look, I understand that the mirror is hidden somewhere on the mountain, but we
need a plan...
I know... That story that Ashei told about the beast... What do you think about
that?
You think we should show that sketch to the Zoras and see what they have to
say?
[If you show the sketch to the Zoras]
ZORA SOLDIER #5
Hey, the beast of Snowpeak... Oh! The red fish it's holding! That's a reekfish!
Ah... So the beast has been showing itself because it's been catching
reekfish...
We didn't think that anyone besides Prince Ralis was capable of catching this
type of fish!
Not only is that type of fish tenacious, but it won't even bat an eye at
ordinary bait.
In fact, this is the first time we'd seen anyone other than Prince Ralis catch
one. We were stunned!
ZORA SOLDIER #4
The fish this beast has...
Prince Ralis is quite skilled at catching that type of fish...
Oh... Prince... Where could you be by now...
When I see this fish, I can't help but think of the prince...
ZORA #2
This... Did you draw this?
The beast... Hey! Isn't it holding a red fish?
That's a reekfish!
Reekfish live close to the two stone formations we call the Mother-and-Child
Rocks.
They've got a distinct smell that some find a little...gamey...but they're
packed with nutrients, so they're revered and well cared for.
[Link warps to Kakariko Village, where Prince Ralis is grieving in front of the
grave of his family]
PRINCE RALIS
Is... Is your name Link?
My mother came to me in a dream... She showed me your image.
She spoke of a youth who would save our domain and steer my fate. One named
Link.
I must thank you for all you've done.
If there is anything I can ever do for you, please tell me.
Please...
Link...
I have so little confidence...
What can I do? I could not even carry out one simple task for my mother...
I am so unlike her... I doubt I am even qualified to rule...
Link...
What would my mother have thought of me?
I still have so little confidence in myself...
What can a pitiful Zora like me do?
I am not sure I can be of any use at all......
...Can I?
[Link shows him the note]
Hmm... The beast-man of the snowy mountain...perhaps?
But more important is this red fish it is holding...
It must be a reekfish. That is a rare specimen found only in the Zora village.
It feeds on a valuable type of coral, and without that bait, even our best
fishers cannot catch one.
Look closely, Link... My earring is made of this coral.
I would like to give it to you.
I received it from my mother...
But it is fine. I no longer need it.
As I look at you, I get a sense of what my mother wanted, what I should be
doing now...
I will return to my village.
The reekfish can be found near the Mother-and-Child Rocks in the waterfall
basin near my village.
The fish are red, so I think you should be able to spot them...
MIDNA
The reekfish that the beast of Snowpeak took...
Maybe if we took a look at it, it'd give us a clue...
[Link catches the rare Reekfish near the Mother-and-Child Rocks in Zora's
Domain]
NARRATIVE
That's a reekfish (X inches)! This sacred fish is only found near the Zora
village. It...reeks.
You can see fish you've caught by pressing + and viewing the Collection screen.
Forget the Poe scent and learn a new smell?
(No)
(Yes)
[In his courage Link finds the strength to topple Snowpeak, even as the
thunderous wind threatens to tear him from the cliff and throw him down the
mountain path and the packed snow clutches at his fur and solders his skin like
a hot iron Upon his ascension to the top of the mountain he finds a docile
Yeti with a Reekfish hanging from his hand]
YETO
[If you approach as wolf]
Uh! Rare color of wolf!
Looks tasty...
But tonight fish night. Maybe another time.
Friendly, uh?
I take you home with me, uh?
...If I did not have fish.
[If you approach as human]
Uh! Whoa-ho!
I heard ruckus, and uh! Just a human!
I see humans not often, uh? Why human come to snows?
You...on spiritual journey? You look for true self?
(Yes, I am.)
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh! You look for long time!
...That was joke. Yetis joke too, uh.
You look for something else, uh? Tell truth.
(Umm, no.)
...Uh. You look for mirror in such faraway place...
But you make good climb! And you lucky to meet me!
I found shiny mirror piece!
Same mirror you look for, uh?
Uh! You come to house and see yourself!
I caught fish. I make hot meal, at least...
My house far away... We slide there, uh? Do like me! Come!

Snowpeak Ruins
[The frosty sled guides Link through the downward slope At the bottom of the
mountain is a large mansion, ostinsibly a solitary Oriental mountain house]
MIDNA
...Here?
What's with this guy? He's got a nice place...for a beast-man.
[Roasting in front of the fire is Yeto's wife, Yeta]
YETA
...Who?
Uh...
Sorry... I have sickness, uh...
Come closer, uh?
You cute little human. Husband told me you come. You want to look at mirror,
uh?
My husband found it, but it pretty thing, uh.
But...since I get mirror, I get sick, and then bad monsters appear... So many
bad things happen since mirror...
So we lock bedroom on third floor where it hangs, uh?
Wait... I tell you where key is...
Fever makes head blurry, but...
It probably here in the room marked by this symbol...
But right now...can't even get up.
Would you bring it to me, uh?
Start with door right here...
I would go, uh, but so sick...
Sorry to be bother, uh...
YETO
Uh! You!
Wife...look bad, uh? Not healthy since mirror...
So I make soup for her.
Fish from Zora village are most nutritious!
You tired, uh? You have some. It gives you energy!
What flavor for soup, uh...
Can't decide...
[An Ordon pumpkin lies within the treasure chest]
MIDNA
What's this? This isn't right! She got the wrong locations.
Want to go back and try to get her to remember where the key is?
[Yeto picks up on the pumpkin scent and stirs it in with the rest of the stew]
YETO
What flavor...
Uh... PUMPKIN!
You have pumpkin, uh?
Pumpkin, pumpkin, uh!
Thanks, uh!
You taste if you want!
Uh... Needs...more punch, uh!
Needs...something.
YETA
You find it, uh?
...What? Pumpkin? But why there?
No good, uh... Where I leave it?
Uh! Maybe in THAT room.
Go to room marked by symbol...
Check room I marked on map, uh.
Sorry about delay... I want to help, uh...
[After Link assails the northern annex and defeats Darkhammer, he finds goat
cheese in the treasure chest]
MIDNA
Aw, food AGAIN?! Yeah, I had a bad feeling about this. She didn't seem very
sure of herself...
Oh well... Let's head back and hope she had some other brilliant idea.
YETA
What happened, uh?
...What?! Cheese...
Uh... Did husband move it?
Uh... Where in world did we put it...
Sorry, I need thinking time, uh. Take cheese to husband, uh?
You do that, I try to remember...
Uh, sorry... Still no remember where bedroom key is.
You take cheese to husband first.
You do that, I try to remember...
[Yeto is smitten by the smell of goat cheese and adds it to his concoction of
fish and pumpkin]
YETO
Uh...
Needs...more punch, uh!
Uh... WHAT?! GOOD SMELL!
What you have, uh?!
Mmm! Perfect ingredient, uh!
Little more time on fire, it become gourmet soup, uh!
Here! Taste, uh!
Mmm! Smells good, uh!
Wife feel better when she drink this.
YETA
I think I remember, uh!
We put key in nearby room, so no forgetting, uh.
How I forget? Embarrassing, uh.
See! Here. Place marked by symbol, uh!
It there. It must be, uh! You look for me!
I promise it right this time! Please, you look for me...
[Link finds the bedroom key on the top floor of the mansion]
MIDNA
Phew... We've finally found the key.
That sure took a while...but that mirror shard is as good as ours!
YETA
Oh! You safe, uh!
I drink husband's soup, feel much better, uh. So I come to find you.
You found key, uh! Good! Good!
Bedroom right above us. I take you there, uh.
Bedroom right there, you go ahead. No worry for me, uh?
Thank you. You come inside...
Please... This way, uh.
Here...mirror. You look at it, uh...
Uh... So pretty...
Pretty... Uh... So pretty...
Pretty... Pretty...mirror... Lovely...
NOT TAKE MIRROR!
[The mirror transforms Yeta into an abominable monster - Link defeats Twilit
Ice Mass Blizzeta and claims the second shard of the mirror]
MIDNA
Well, we have two mirror shards now...
Two more left, Link.
Still... I feel bad about the way we treated that girl.
To think the Mirror of Twilight has the power to change people like that...
This world...ALL worlds...can be cruel...
Let's hurry and collect the rest of those pieces, Link!
We have to, before more innocent creatures have to endure the suffering this
poor girl did...
Well, let's go search for the two that remain.
[Yeto stampedes Link and attends to his fallen wife]
YETA
Uh... Uh... What... What wrong with me?
YETO
Very strange... You just dreaming, uh.
YETA
Yeto! Mirror you gave...
YETO
Forget mirror, Yeta...
No. Look into eyes of Yeto...
Look in reflection of Yeto's beautiful eyes. There true beauty!
Who need mirror?
YETA
My love, uh!
YETO
Love you, uh...
YETA
Uh, love you, too...
MIDNA
I'll get you out of here. You're sure there's nothing else you need to do,
right?
(Yes)

POSTMAN
Mr. Link! WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
There is a letter for you, Link. 3 letters, in fact!
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TELMA
How's that Ilia doing, honey?
I'm sure that shaman will find a way to get her memory back. That Renado is a
talented man, for sure!
Anyway, honey, you've got your own things to worry about, so you just make sure
you do what needs doing right now, OK?
Hey, honey, if you're up in the air about where to go next, maybe you ought to
go talk to Rusl.
He's in Hyrule's southern wood right now, checking out the lay of the land.
If you need detailed directions, just take a peek at that map on the table.
I wonder if the Sacred Grove that Rusl mentioned is near this mark...
ASHEI
Link, huh?
The beast of Snowpeak hasn't appeared in Zora's Domain since its last visit.
In the end, the troubles in Hyrule and the events on Snowpeak were beyond even
my imagination.
Honestly... There's got to be someone who knows what really happened...
Link, you truly are a mysterious guy...
No matter where some kind of incident occurs, your name always seems to come
up!
Hey, don't misunderstand me... I meant that as a compliment, yeah?
As a fellow worker in the fight to restore peace to Hyrule, you have my thanks.
And may we both keep up the good work.
[In the vestige of Faron Woods, Rusl awaits with his golden cucco]
RUSL
It has been a while since we took a walk in the forest, huh? Yes, and how our
world has changed...
[If you didn't meet him in Telma's Bar]
I knew you would come.
I have heard of your brave acts from Telma...
I have known her circle of friends since my youth, and of late we have begun to
work toward a common goal.
...So. Let me tell you a story.
Say...
Do you know about the far side of this deep gorge? Some say there is an ancient
temple deep in the woods that guards a sacred power.
The ancestors of the Hylians created the temple... Signs of their civilization-
-ancient, but very sophisticated-are everywhere.
If someone could obtain the power of those ancient people... Well, I am sure it
would go a long way toward saving Hyrule.
Link...
Would you take on this task? Would you cross the gorge and find the ancient
power sleeping in the temple?
(No)
Getting across the gorge and entering the temple will be difficult, make no
mistake.
...But I am sure you can do it.
If only I had your courage and strength, I, too, would fight to restore the
peace...but I am not the man I once was.
(Yes)
I knew you would!
To cross the gorge, just use my partner here.
...Do you doubt my partner's skills? He flies like a dream! Believe me!
Well, you will definitely make it across the gorge. Wait and see, my doubting
friend.
Restore the peace! Reclaim the power of this ancient civilization that has
slept in the temple for ages beyond count!
My partner will definitely get the job done! No doubt in my mind! Give it a
shot!
GOLDEN CUCCO
Twinkle, twinkle, little Cucco... I am gold and not for you-oo...
[Link skirts from cliff to cliff using the power of the golden cucco In the
lost woods of the Sacred Grove Link is forced to play the Skull Kid's game]
SKULL KID
Hee hee hee... That was fun! I'll tell you what: I'll let you into a secret
place!
MIDNA
The sacred, ancient forest... So this was what they were talking about...
[Link returns the Master Sword to its place in the pedestal, dispelling the
guardian of the gate to the Temple of Time The once hallowed gateway to the
Sacred Realm where the legendary hero once stood now stands imposing around
him; he ascends the steps to the temple]
Link...
Don't you think there's something odd about that statue?
In the grove and in the temple entry, there were always matching ones on each
side, but there's only one here...
Why don't you use your senses to take a look around?
[If you use your wolf senses]
I knew it... There was one more here originally.
We need to find the other statue in this temple that matches that one.
OOCCOO
Erm! Not so fast!
At last... This is it! This is where I've been trying to get to!
The ancient technology of our people sleeps in this place.
We've searched all over...and now we're so close, I can SMELL it!
Once we find that thing, we can go home at last! Oh, gracious, yes!
Erm, young man!
We're so close...so PLEASE help us find what we're looking for!
[If you've never met Ooccoo before]
Goodness! Wait a second!
Young man, could you be...the one they call the hero?
(No)
(Yes)
What? Really? So you're...erm just passing through...
Are you kidding me?!
I have to tell you, my son and I have been looking for something.
We can't return home until we find that thing. Oh, gracious no!
You must need something here, too. Shall we try working together for a while,
fellow adventurer?
You may not think I look like much, but I can be quite helpful!
I can even warp you out of here if you want to leave!
So don't think of me as a burden! Now let's get started!
[The Darknut guards the Dominion Rod of the ancient sky people, which Link uses
to vivaciously spring the statue to life and guide to the bottom floor where
the boss room awaits - Link defeats Twilit Arachnid Armoghoma and claims the
third shard of the Mirror of Twilight as his own]
MIDNA
Three of the mirror shards are ours!
Just one left!
Link...
You saw how nasty that monster was, right?
The evil within the shards is more powerful than you can imagine...
You know we could be assembling something truly terrible here...
It could be something that we'll ultimately have to destroy...
We have to hurry! Let's fine the last shard, Link!
We have to reach the sky! That's where the last shard is supposed to be!
I'll get you out of here. You're sure there's nothing else you need to do,
right?
(Yes)
(No)

OOCCOO
Well done, adventurer!
Ooccoo sees what she was looking for.
Goodness, yes! It's the Dominion Rod you found in the temple!
But that thing has been around for quite some time. I can see from here that
its magic has been exhausted.
Ooh, what am I to do... I thought at last I could return to the sky...
And I have completely forgotten the spell that would once again bestow it with
magic...
It can't be helped. I suppose I'll just have to look for the statues that
respond to the rod...
It's decided! That's what we'll do! That's what we'll do, indeed!
Well, Ooccoo is on her way! See you again!
MIDNA
Hey! Wait! What did you do to the Dominion Rod?
...She's gone.
I suppose a useless rod is really just more baggage, but...what are you going
to do?
Hmm... Did she just say something about returning to the sky?
The last piece of the mirror is also said to be in the heavens...
If we can restore magic to the Dominion Rod, maybe it'll come in handy!

POSTMAN
Mr. Link! WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
It is a letter from Renado.
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[If you haven't met Telma's friends in her bar, you get this message]
TELMA
Oh my... If it isn't Link!
You made it! How've you been, honey?!
Mercy, but you have good timing. I was just talking about you!
Everyone! Look!
Link's come to see us!
These are the friends I mentioned, the ones who are trying to help deal with
all the troubles in Hyrule.
Actually, there's one more of us, but he's doing a little research in Kakariko
Village.
His name's Shad. He's about the same age as you, I think. If you see him, you
should try talking to him, honey.
Oh... Mercy, how could I forget! If you're going to Kakariko Village, be sure
to give my regards to that adorable shaman, OK, honey?
Well, you've come all the way here, honey, so why don't you relax a bit.
[If you've met Telma's friends, you get this message]
How's that Ilia doing, honey?
I'm sure that shaman will find a way to get her memory back. That Renado is a
talented man, for sure!
Anyway, honey, you've got your own things to worry about, so you just make sure
you do what needs doing right now, OK?
You unsure about what you ought to be doing, honey? Well, why don't you go show
your face in Kakariko Village?
Our friend Shad happens to be there right now, looking into this and that.
If you need detailed directions, just take a peek at that map on the table.
Shad is in Kakariko Village now. Would you check on the children if you head
that way, Link?
RUSL
So? Did you find the power of the ancient civilization?
If you discover anything, could you be sure to also tell Shad?
He has been researching the Oocca, who are said to be the ancestors of the
Hylians.
As we speak, he is in Kakariko Village investigating these sky beings. Perhaps
you should go see him?
He is an avid scholar, so I am sure his knowledge could be helpful.
Yes, yes... My golden friend came in handy, did he not?
Link.
We must restore the peace and take the children home with us!
[In the gloom of the basement of Renado's hut Link finds Shad deciphering the
statue that's the key to the City in the Sky]
SHAD
Oh my... Color me surprised... If it isn't Link!
What a coincidence, meeting you in a place like this. How very odd...
Say, old boy, do you remember what I told you before about the legend of the
sky beings known as the Oocca?
Yes, well, there's something about it that's been bothering me, so I came here
to snoop about...
To think that you would appear here with such perfect timing! You really are a
rather extraordinary fellow, aren't you?
I've found it at long last... Observe this statue! It's the same as the one in
the manuscripts my dear father left me.
There are many similar statues around Hyrule, but this one seems to be
different.
Here, look at the belly... There's something written there, you see?
This, too, was in my father's notes... It is called Sky Writing, I believe.
"Awaken us with the word that breaks the seal." ... Yes, indeed, that is what
it says.
Wait a moment... Isn't that Ilia a friend of yours?
It's simply tragic how she lost her memory.
And that rod of the heavens she mentioned... I'm sure it has something to do
with the word that breaks the seal.
Hmm... Isn't there any way to restore her memory? I'm certain it would help us
figure this all out...
Statues, the word that breaks the seal, and the rod of the heavens... It just
gets odder and odder...
Now Ilia's memory is the last clue we have to solving this strange puzzle about
the heavens...
Link, what shall we do?
GOR CORON
Darbus happened to hear that an acquaintance of one of our brothers had lost
her memory and was in some trouble.
Me? I came down here because I have a little something to discuss with the
shaman.
DARBUS
Who are you, little human? The young lady's acquaintance?
ILIA
Um...Link?
Did you hear what the shaman said?
RENADO
Ah! I have been waiting for you, Link.
Fortune has smiled upon us! If things go well, we should be able to help Ilia
recover her memory!
Do you know Telma's friend, Shad?
Well, it seems he is researching the heavens, and he has come here to see the
statue in the basement of the sanctuary.
And, as I have learned, when Ilia was saved, she overheard someone talking
about the rod of the heavens, or something like that...
The Goron elder believes that to help her regain her lost memories, we must
piece together the fragments of her past...
Which means...
If we work our way backwards from the very place where she lost her memory, we
may find something that will restore it.
Now we must retrace Ilia's path... I am certain it was Telma who cared for her
before she arrived in this village, was it not?
It would be best to speak with her first. Please take this to Telma!
It shames me to say it, but to be honest, I cannot abide Telma's company...
We have a fighting chance, Link!
Shad is still down there in the basement, investigating that statue.
Now get going! You must deliver my letter to Telma immediately! I just cannot
do it myself...
The race to recover Ilia's memory is on, Link!
ILIA
Link...
I remember being saved from a dangerous situation by someone... Someone who
told me all about the rod of the heavens.
But now I can't remember the who, why, where, or what it all means...
Do you really think I'll recover my memory?
I regret that a complete stranger like yourself got caught up in all of this
because of me. I'm so sorry.
DARBUS
Little human, it is time for you to show your manliness...for the girl's sake!
If there is anything I can do to help, just say so! It is in times like these
that we must come to one another's aid!
Not that you could ever do much to help ME, my tiny friend! Gah ha ha!
GOR CORON
Whether we get that girl's memory back, young warrior, will be up to you.
Even our chief, Darbus, has lost the memory of his dark time... We have not
told him that you were the one who saved him.
He is a proud Goron, and he can be...touchy. If he knew he had been saved by a
human...
On the other hand, he does have a strong sense of moral duty, so if anything
happens, you can count on him to help.
[Link enters Telma's Bar and shows her the letter]
TELMA
Oooh! Well, if it isn't from Renado the shaman!
All this writing, and he doesn't even bother to mention a thing about little
ol' me? Honey, that is what I call RUDE!
Well, there's no accounting for the foolishness of a man. And at least I
understand Ilia's situation now.
Of course I can lend a hand for that adorable little girl!
Hmmm, what else do I know... The first one to bring Ilia to this shop was that
doctor...
Maybe he knows something, but he's a crusty old bat, that's for sure...
Ah... I've got it! Honey, you go ahead and take this to him. This magic little
paper will get that codger talking!
It sure would be nice if she started remembering things soon, eh, Link?
Don't you worry, honey! That girl's memory will come back!
But don't just wait around for things to happen, you hear me?
You make sure you take care of what needs doing, OK?
[Borville lingers at the Doctor's office in the western thoroughfare]
DOCTOR BORVILLE
Eh? What's that?
Just as I wondered who it might be, I see it's the admirable young lad who was
willing to help the Zora boy for nary a single Rupee...
Just what is it you want, lad? A physical? You've some money, don't you?
By the way, that girl Ilia didn't mention anything about me, did she?
I'll be honest, lad, it'll cost you a fair bit for an examination.
It's not that I'm having trouble making money... Not at all! Why, I'm so
skilled, they call my hands "The Golden Mitts"!
If you don't have any errand here, then begone, you scoundrel!
...Did she really not say anything at all about me?
If you don't have any money, then you're just a bother! A bother! And I'm too
busy for bothers!
[Link shows him the tab]
AIIIGH!
L-Look! I can't pay this off right now! I can see Telma's hired you as some
sort of heavy to strong-arm me, but she'll have to wait!
Look, lad, if I'd been able to sell the wooden statue that young lady had, I
would've been able to get the money...
But see, I accidentally spilled medicine all over that little carving, which
made it stink awfully. I put it outside to dry...but then...
Well, it was stolen.
Who goes around stealing people's stuff like that? What a world! You always
have to be on guard, eh?
......
...Uh, look, Mr. Heavy, at any rate, neither the money nor the carving is here,
so I can't repay you.
Now, to work, to work...
You're a persistent little bug, eh?! I said I have neither the money nor the
wooden statue, you great lout! I can't return what I don't have!
Ugh! I can't get rid of that medicine stench, I don't have any money... When it
rains misfortune, it pours! Remember that, lad!
[Link finds the scent behind a crate]
Forget the Reekfish Scent and learn a new smell?
(No)
(Yes)
[The medicine scent winds around town and into Telma's Bar]
LOUISE
You're looking for the wooden statue that Ilia had, aren't you, dear?
Think it's a coincidence that I happen to know it got stolen from the doctor's
place? No...
Yes, I admit it...I took it. But then I was attacked by some sort of skeletal
dog beasts who took it from me.
I don't know why these beasts were after her statue... I thought it likely that
she was in a dangerous spot, though.
Those fiends lurk just outside the southern gate... Unfortunately, they only
come out at night.
...And another thing... They always move around as a pack. You won't get that
statue back unless you give them all a thrashing...
That statue sounds like a key to getting Ilia's memory back... You must get it
back!
That girl won't recover her memory if you don't defeat those dog beasts outside
the southern gate and get that statue back.
Those fiends travel in a pack at night! Be careful out there!
[Link recovers the wooden statue from the pack of Stalhounds]
LOUISE
Get that statue back and get it to Ilia as quickly as you can!
Act Seven
Chapter II H i d d e n V i l l a g e o f t h e S h a d o w T r i b e
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hidden Village of the Shadow Tribe
RENADO
Did Telma say anything?
If we can retrace Ilia's actions, we should be able to find a clue...
[The wooden statue sparks Ilia's memory]
ILIA
What...is this?!
I... I remember something... I was confined somewhere... Yes, and I was saved
by whoever was confined with me...
And when that person set me free, they gave me this statue...
Yes, yes, I remember that much! But that means...that person is still in
trouble!
Oh, what is WRONG with me?! I can't remember where that place was!
GOR CORON
I REMEMBER!
I thought I had seen that before somewhere...
That belonged to the tribe that protected the Hylian royal family long ago.
They worked in secret, so they lived in a lonely, forgotten place. But I heard
that tribe dwindled in the prolonged wars...
If you want to find that hidden village, look for a path leading to the Lanayru
province on the far side of the Bridge of Eldin.
But...a rockslide blocked the way to the village long ago, so you can't get
there anymore.
What? Oh, I do not mean to worry you, little human. Problems like these are not
problems to Gorons.
Our patriarch, Darbus, will be waiting for you up ahead. Look at your map to
see where.
I would try to find the path beyond the Bridge of Eldin that leads to Lanayru
Province.
I have marked your map. You must go to the path beyond the long stone bridge
that leads to Lanayru Province. Find the hidden village!
You cannot forget that even now, some innocent is confined there!
RENADO
If Ilia's recollection is correct, then we need to find that person in the
hidden village...
Perhaps that person holds the key to unlocking her memory...
But it is a long shot.
ILIA
Please... Don't worry about my memory... Just do something to help the one who
set me free.
Please, Link!
[Darbus goes ahead of Link When Link arrives, Darbus has already drilled into
the rockslide]
DARBUS
There is a hidden village up ahead, little human. The elders call it a
forgotten place.
This scent that has been burning in my nostrils...it is the scent of evil.
There is one powerful creature I have seen about...but under that beast are
many minions who attack and plunder like a pack of hyenas.
There are 30... No... At most, 20 of them ahead...
They are probably just a small band of survivors... Ragged remnants who have
settled, leaderless, into this village.
If that is all there are, little human, then you alone are more than enough for
them. But you will have to defeat them ALL to save that girl's benefactor.
Before you go, I will tell you the secret to besting them: destroy them all
before they spot you!
Got it, little human?
[Link falls right into a twangy, Clint Eastwood western and picks each Bulblin
off one by one with his arrows Some clear the railing and plummet to the
ground, others die in a fiery explosion Impaz comes out of her house once all
of the Bulblins are dispatched]
IMPAZ
The howls of the beasts... They've faded into silence...
Wait, are you...
The savior! It's you, the savior!
Please, please forgive me...for not opening up the door.
My name is Impaz. I'm the last resident of this poor village.
My name comes from the great one who built this village so long ago...
This village was once the secret home of a proud tribe who served the royal
family...
But it fell into decline, and became infested with dangerous beasts. It's
become an awful place...
Excuse me for asking, but is your name...Link?
Ah! I knew it...
So then, you saved that nice girl?
...How lovely.
When she was here, she would often cheer me up by saying that you would come to
help.
That sweet girl... She worried about this old woman even as I helped her to
escape from here...
By royal order, I can't leave this place until a certain person arrives.
...No matter what terrible fate is visited upon it...
Oh, but listen to me blather on! I have a favor to ask: would you help me
return this to her?
I think she always kept it close to her heart, but even so, she didn't hesitate
to part with it in order to protect me...
I believe in my heart that it's kept me safe all this time...
So please... I ask that you return it to that girl.
That dear girl deserves her charm back.
...And tell her that this old biddy was very grateful.
Hey! That rod...
Is that the Dominion Rod?
Ahh... Could it really be? Are you the messenger to the heavens?!
Among the legends of my clan, there is a story from the time when the Oocca
still maintained contact with the royal family.
Yes, it said that a mysterious rod was handed down from the people of the sky,
and it was called the Dominion Rod...
The rod was only to be carried by the messenger to the heavens when the royal
family needed to communicate with the Oocca.
From generation to generation, my ancestors have guarded the book that, by
royal decree, was to be given to the messenger to the heavens.
This is that book. Please, take it.
This book is written in the ancient language of Sky Writing.
I am so glad I stayed in this village... If I had not met that young girl, what
would have become of me?
Meeting that girl must have been ordained by the gods, so that I could be here
today to pass on this knowledge...
Yes, I was meant to pass on that ancient book from the heavens to you...
Please, take care of yourself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cannon Ride to the Stars
[Link returns to Kakariko and shows Ilia the horse call]
ILIA
I... I knew you once...
Yes... This feels so familiar... The scent of hay...
Long ago... When we were young, you and I...
You were always there... You were always beside me...
Link.
This gift was meant for you. It was something I wanted to give you before you
left on your journey.
Please, Link, take it.
You don't need to worry about me any longer. Whenever you return... I'll be
waiting for you.
Link... Do you remember what I was saying about the rod of the heavens?
Well, actually... It was about the messenger to the heavens who held the rod...
The nice woman who saved me told me about it...
Apparently, in this woman's village, they've guarded something for the heavenly
messenger for generations, so they await him.
But they can't give this item away until the messenger arrives with the rod...
That's why the lady couldn't leave her village, you see...
Say, Link... Do you have any idea who this messenger to the heavens might be?
Or even what the rod is?
Is that Shad fellow down there a friend of yours, Link?
I need to give him my thanks!
[Link delivers to Shad the book of the sky people]
SHAD
What's this? Ah! It's Sky Writing! Where in blazes did you get this?
You don't suppose this could be the word that breaks the seal...
R-Right! Let's try it out!
[He repeats an ancient incantation]
...No reaction.
So it is not this statue... Urgh...
...Link, thanks ever so. You have brought me one step closer to solving this
puzzle. I shall give the book back to you.
Now! I shall try out this word on other statues!
I have made the rounds of these statues so many times that I have memorized
their locations.
I will place marks on your map so you can find them, in case you wish to track
them down.
Remember, every one of those marks is near an owl statue!
Now, if you'll excuse me!
NARRATOR
Power has returned to the Dominion Rod! This mystical rod breathes life into
ancient statues.
Set it to B on the screen, then aim with (wand) and swing it with B to make
statues mimic your moves.
MIDNA
The writing in the book was a spell that imbued the staff with magic!
Now you can do to the other statues what you did before...
So... He did say he would mark your map wherever there was a statue, didn't he?
Then we should go check out those spots, right, Link?
ILIA
I will be all right, Link.
I will be waiting here with the children until you return!
So...don't worry about us, OK?
RENADO
That acquaintance of Telma's is visiting right now.
He is very interested in that ancient statue down below the sanctuary...
Actually, I do not know anything about the statue down below the sanctuary.
You see, it was already there when I became the shaman here...
If you are interested, you should descend and go see it yourself, Link.
COLIN
Ilia and Ralis both got better... Everything's so great here!
But...you aren't trying to help just the people HERE, are you. You're trying to
help everyone in the world, right, Link?
No matter how long it takes for you to come back, we'll be waiting for you,
Link!
When I grow up, if I have a son, I'm gonna make sure he turns into a guy who
can do everything...just like you, Link!
LUDA
Ralis and Ilia and everyone else are all better now! I am so happy!
But...Ralis left to be with his people, and everyone from Ordon will go back to
their homes soon...
With everyone all gone, things will be a lot quieter around here. And a lot
lonelier...
[Splotched around Hyrule are the owl statues, ancient relics of the sky people
which Link moves with the Dominion Rod Under each is a successive piece of
the Sky writing]
NARRATOR
You found one Sky character! A missing part of the word in the Ancient Sky Book
has been restored.
...But there are still other missing characters.
The Ancient Sky Book is filled with the missing characters! It's a clue to
finding a path to the sky.
Set it to B in the screen and press B to show it to people. Set it to (D Pad)
and you won't have to swap it with B.
POSTMAN
Mr. Link! WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
It is a letter from Shad.
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
[Shad remains in Kakariko, contemplating the mystery of the owl statue]
ILIA
Link, isn't Shad waiting for you down below?
SHAD
Ah, Link. Did you read my letter?
As it turned out, that word I learned from you didn't do anything with the
statues I found...
After all that, I wonder how that word was supposed to be used...
Since it was written in Sky Writing, I was sure it had some kind of meaning...
Is that the book from last time?
...Hm? Are there more letters in the word than the last time I looked at this?
How did you investigate the... Link, this is amazing! Amazing!
Now THIS must be the word we need! Let's try it immediately!
Ah!
It has taken on the same shape as the other statues...
What can this mean?
And I thought we had solved the last of the riddles... Blast! How confounding!
...I must apologize, Link. I need to cool off a tad before I mull the problem
further...
Blast it! This thing has confounded me thoroughly...
[Link uses the Dominion Rod to guide the stalwart owl statue from its resting
place tucked into the wall Inside of the alcove is a broken cannon]
Link?!
How in blazes did you move that statue?! And...what's this...
Amazing! Spectacular! This must be the Sky Cannon I read about in my father's
notes!
I knew that my intuition was onto something when it led me here!
...But how can one use this to get to the City in the Sky?
Stunning... I feel almost...nervous!
Just think, if we could get this to work, we could actually reach the City in
the Sky...
MIDNA
A cannon, huh?
What do you plan to do with this, Link?
(Talk to Midna)
You might figure something out if you try to move it... Oh, what to do, what to
do?
I'll carry it for you. I don't mind. Why don't we show it to someone who might
know something about it?
(Warp)
...Except that guy's still watching us...
SHAD
...Ahh!
Perhaps... I am in your way?
Well, forgive me for not realizing! I should just disappear at times like this,
really.
So... Let me know the results another time, Link.
...Ah yes! Let me give you one last piece of advice...
That seems to be broken, so you'd do well to show it to a cannon expert first,
I should say!
Farewell!
MIDNA
...I wonder if I put him off?

City in the Sky
[Link warps the Sky Cannon to Lake Hylia, where Fyer takes notice]
FYER
Hey, buddy!
So... Uh, is that yours?
Heh heh... Hey, buddy, I never thought you'd get so hooked on fantastication
that you'd try to build your own cannon!
So...are you gonna give me the tour or what? Looks like you have a serious rig
over there...
Whoa! It's kind of...retro, huh?
And there's no ignition device, so you can't even use it.
Listen, buddy, I suppose I might be able to fix it for you...
I mean, maybe...
That is, if you can pay me 300 Rupees...in advance. Whaddaya say?
(No)
What? Really? What a waste...
'Cause I think this thing would pack a punch. Yeah, it would send you sky-high!
Not that it's any of my business, though.
Well, I gotta get back to work here, buddy...
Thanks for flying with Fyer, fella.
So... Wanna give it a shot, fella? No hidden fees for any flight! Just 10
Rupees! Press B to change your mind.
(Specials Repairs)
Ahh... That thing over there?
Hurrrm, yeah, sure...
We, how about 300 Rupees? ...Sound good?
(No)
That's too bad, I coulda done a lot with that thing...
I mean, you coulda flown up through the sky, I kid you not!
Not that it's any of my business, though.
(Yes)
Heh heh... I knew you'd see the light, buddy.
Now I'll just be a sec!
[Fyer works feverishly for days until the cannon is operational]
Here we go, buddy.
All working as it should...I think.
It may look like junk, but this thing's got some powerful innards!
You're going to be knocking on the door to the heavens! Seriously, bud... It
might be rough!
So... I'm sorry for soaking you for the dough. I'll leave you alone, then.
Heh heh... Well, you just have all the fun you want, OK, buddy?
Well, I fixed it for you... If you wanna fly in it, knock yourself out!
[Link boards the cannon and is blasted toward the heavens Ooccoo joins you in
the cannon seconds before lift off]
OOCCOO
Phew! Gracious, we made it back! Finally!
Welcome, adventurer! This is the city sky of the Oocca.
Erm, since you came all this way... I guess I can give you a tour of the
city...
EEEEEK!
[A dragon flies overhead]
Ooh, goodness... Brave adventurer, you won't believe it!
There's a dragon raging outside the city walls...
Ooh, I'm terribly worried about everyone... I'm going to check in that shop for
survivors!
Ooh... Erm, sorry for earlier, adventurer...
Ooh! But you're planning on walking around the city and taking it in, right?!
I'm worried about the others and this is an emergency! I can't just stand
around waiting! Please take me, too!
I won't help you warp to the surface, but I WILL bring you back to this shop
anytime!
[Link fights through the City in the Sky, and at the end of the dungeon he
defeats Twilit Dragon Argorok, claiming the fourth and final piece of the
mirror]
MIDNA
Link, you did it! It's the fourth shard!
Now we have them all!
Hey...Link.
The words of the sages... Do you remember them?
Only the true ruler of the Twili can destroy the Mirror of Twilight. Zant could
only break the Mirror of Twilight into shards... He couldn't utterly shatter
it.
That's proof of his false kingship.
Link, we have to hurry! To the Mirror Chamber!
After all, a fake is a fake...and no matter how much you dress it up, the real
thing always wins!
I'll get you out of here. You're sure there's nothing else you need to do,
right?
(Yes)
(No)

POSTMAN
Mr. Link! WAAAAAAIT!
Greetings, Mr. Link!
I have come to deliver a letter.
There is a letter for you, Link. 2 letters, in fact!
Well, my business is concluded! Onward to mail!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TELMA
What's that, honey? Ilia's memory?!
Really? Mercy, if that isn't the BEST news I've heard all day!
You did a great job, honey...
You take good care of Ilia, you hear me?
But... Then again, I suppose you've still got a few other things on your plate
right now, don't you?
SHAD
Yes, Link...
I've been poring over literature since I saw you last.
Thanks to you, I think I've gradually come to understand several different
aspects of the riddle of the heavens...
If I hadn't met you, I might have given up trying to bring my father's dream to
fruition...
I'm truly grateful for what you have done. Someday, perhaps, I can repay this
debt.
Link, have you seen the state Hyrule castle is in?
I feel the same desire to bring peace to Hyrule. We all do.
But right now, it's all we can do to try to endure...
Our chance will surely come! That's why we both must continue doing what we can
until that time comes!
[Link warps to the Mirror Chamber in the Arbiter's Ground]
MIDNA
Some call our realm a world of shadows, but that makes it sound unpleasant.
The twilight there holds a serene beauty... You have seen it yourself as the
sun sets on this world.
Bathed in that light, all people were pure and gentle.
But things changed once that power invaded the world.
SAGES
It was all our doing.
We overestimated our abilities as sages and attempted to put an end to
Ganondorf's evil magic.
I hope you can find it in yourself to forgive our carelessness.
O Twilight Princess.
MIDNA
What? So...you knew?
As a ruler who fled her people, I am hardly qualified to forgive you.
In our world we've long believed that the Hero would appear as a divine beast.
That's why when I found you I thought I could use you, Link.
And I only cared about returning our world to normal.
I didn't care what happened to the world of light, not at all.
But after witnessing the selfless lengths that Princess Zelda and you have gone
to... Your sacrifices...
I now know, in the bottom of my heart, that I must save this world, too. There
is no other way.
If we can just defeat Zant, the curse on me will dissolve, and we may be able
to revive Zelda.
Let's go, Link! For Zelda! For all of this world!
[Link enters the twilight with Midna]
Um, listen, Link. Can I ask you one last selfish favor?
Regardless of what my reasons may have been, I once abandoned this world.
I left behind the Twili. Those who had followed me... Who considered me their
ruler.
Even now, as they remain here suffering, they believe that help will come for
this world.
But if they were to see that the only help for them was a hideous little imp...
Don't you think they'd feel let down?
It's only for a little bit longer... Do you mind if I continue to hide as your
shadow while you're in human form?
I'm sorry.
Wait! This guy isn't an enemy, Link.
They might look different, but they're inhabitants of this world. They're my
people.
Zant... How could he...
[Link is engulfed by a dark fog and reverts to wolf form]
Link, be careful...
He's responsible for stealing the light from the spirits and turning your world
into twilight...
But he's not all-powerful. We're prepared too. I can return you to your normal
state whenever you need, so don't worry, OK?
[Link returns both Sols to their place in the Palace of Twilight]
NARRATIVE
Light filled the Master Sword! Its blade glows with a golden light in the
Twilight Realm. With it, you can cut through dark fog!
MIDNA
Amazing... The power of the Sols has been transferred to your sword...
The guardian deities of my world are on our side, too!
You really are the chosen one, Link... A true hero!
As long as you have that sword, you should be able to repel the shadows Zant
has spread!
[At the end of the palace, Link enters Zant's chamber]
Zant!
Isn't this ironic? Here we are all thanks to the dark magic curse you placed on
Link!
ZANT
You speak of magic? Still your tongue for a moment, whelp, and I will tell you
of both magic and the oppression of ages...
The people of our tribe...a tribe that mastered the arts of magic...were locked
away in this world like insects in a cage.
In the shadows we regressed, so much so that we soon knew neither anger nor
hatred...nor even the faintest bloom of desire.
And all of it was the fault of a useless do-nothing royal family that had
resigned itself to this miserable half-existence!
I had served and endured in that depraved household for far too long, my
impudent princess.
And why, you ask? Because I believed I would be the next to rule our people!
THAT is why!
But would they acknowledge me as their king? No! And as such, I was denied the
magic powers befitting our ruler.
It was then, in the thrall of hatred and despair, that I turned my eyes to the
heavens...and found a god.
GANON
I shall house my power in you...
If there is anything you desire, then I shall desire it too.
ZANT
My god had only one wish.
To merge shadow and light...and make darkness!
[Link defeats Usurper King Zant]
Y-You...TRAITORS!
MIDNA
Traitors, ha! You want to know why none would call you king? It was your eyes,
Zant.
All saw it...a lust for power burning in your pupils... Did you think we'd
forget our ancestors lost their king to such greed?
ZANT
Midna... Foolish Twilight Princess... The curse on you cannot be broken...
It was placed on you by the magic of my god! The power you held as leader of
the Twili will never return!
Already he has descended and been reborn in this world...
As long as my master, Ganon, survives, he will resurrect me without cease!
[Midna pierces Zant through in her anger]
MIDNA
I... I used just a fraction of the power that's in me now...
I did THAT using only a fraction of my ancestor's magic?!
Link! Now is the time! We must save Zelda!
The evil power Zant was wielding... I couldn't take it from him. But at least I
still have the magic of my ancestors.
With it, I can return the cherished power Zelda bestowed upon me.
Now! Let's go! Princess Zelda is waiting!
I'll get you out of here. You're sure there's nothing else you need to do,
right?
(Yes)
(No)

Of Worlds Left Behind
MIDNA
So Ganondorf was just using Zant to help him return to the world of light.
I guess now we know the true nature of that barrier over Hyrule Castle.
He's in Hyrule Castle, I'm sure of it.
Princess Zelda is in grave danger! We must return to the world of light and
hurry to the castle!
[Midna uses the power of the Fused Shadows to dispel the barrier surrounding
Hyrule Castle Inside, Link meets an axe-wielding King Bulblin for the final
time]
KING BULBLIN
I have come to play!
[Link defeats King Bulblin]
Enough.
I follow the strongest side! ...That is all I have ever known.
MIDNA
Link... He...
He spoke.
[With the help of Rusl, Auru, and Ashei, Link clears the first floor of Hyrule
Castle and is free to climb to the throne room Link uses the assistance of
the ghosts of Hyrule Castle and reaches the top, where Ganon is waiting on the
throne]
GANON
Welcome to my castle.
MIDNA
So you're...Ganondorf.
I've been dying to meet you.
GANON
Your people have long amused me, Midna. To defy the gods with such petty magic,
only to be cast aside... How very pathetic.
Pathetic as they were, though, they served me well. Their anguish was my
nourishment.
Their hatred bled across the void and awakened me. I drew deep in it and grew
strong again.
Your people had some skill, to be sure...but they lacked true power.
The kind of absolute power that those chosen by the gods wield.
He who wields such power would make a suitable king for this world, don't you
think?
MIDNA
Ha! Such conceit!
But if you are one of the chosen wielders of power, as you claim...
I will risk everything to deny you!
GANON
Shadow has been moved by light, it seems...
...How amusing.
Very well... Deny me, then!
Yes, try to deny me... You and your little friend...
[Ganon dissolves into twilight and uses Zelda's soulless body as his own]
Both of you, faithless fools who would dare to take up arms against the king of
light and shadow...
So you choose. And so you shall feel my wrath!
[Midna uses the Fused Shadows to separate Ganon from Zelda Zelda, who was
using Midna as a harbor, reawakens]
MIDNA
Pr-Princess... I... I...
PRINCESS ZELDA
Say nothing, Midna...
Your heart and mine were as one, however briefly...
Such suffering you have endured...
[Ganon once again threatens Link and Zelda as a ball of flames (Apparently the
Fifth Element is a popular movie at Nintendo) Midna transports Link and Zelda
to Hyrule Field so she alone can face the King of Darkness The castle erupts,
but upon the rim of the hill we can see that Ganon, striding his horse,
survives, crumbling Midna's helmet and grinding it to dust As he bores down
from atop the hill, Zelda offers one more plea to the spirits of light]
Spirits of the light! Wielders of the great power that shines far and wide upon
the lands of our world...
In my hour of need, grant me the light to banish evil!
Link...
Chosen hero!
Lend us the last of your power!
I'll try to slow Ganondorf with my light arrows!
You target him and keep him within range of my arrows!
[Link gallops close to Ganon and comes within a hair of him Zelda pierces him
with the Light Arrows, and Link succeeds in throwing Ganon from his horse]
GANON
An impressive-looking blade...
But nothing more.
Would you hear my desire?
To take this foul blade...and use it to blot out the light forever!
[Link throws his might upon Ganon, piercing him through in the same place the
sages pierced him with their blade]
Do not think this ends here...
The history of light and shadow will be written in blood!
[Ganon dies standing while the hours of twilight descend on Hyrule Upon the
hill in the distance the light spirits grant Midna the final key to breaking
her curse Link charges up the hill, where he finds the beautiful princess of
twilight, no longer an ugly imp]
MIDNA
What? Say something!
Am I so beautiful that you've no words left?
[Credits roll The camera pans across Hyrule as its citizens are in jubilant
celebration We return to the Mirror Chamber, where Midna prepares to depart
the light world for the final time]
Well...I guess this is farewell, huh?
Light and shadow can't mix, as we all know.
But...
Never forget that there's another world bound to this one.
PRINCESS ZELDA
Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin...
One cannot exist without the other.
I know now the reason the goddesses left the Mirror of Twilight in this
world...
They left it because it was their design that we should meet.
Yes... That is what I believe.
MIDNA
Zelda... Your words are kind, and your heart is true.
If all in Hyrule are like you...
Then maybe you'll do all right.
Thank you...
Well, the princess spoke truly: as long as that mirror's around, we could meet
again...
Link...
I...
See you later...

/______\ This section is not intended to present a complete compendium of

/ \ / \ throughout the kingdom of Hyrule. Instead, this is a veritable
/ \/ \ dumping ground of sorts for all of the dialogue that
-------------- interrupts the flow of the main script. Since Hyrule Field is
bereft of humanity, and since dungeons are a terrible breeding ground for
nightclubs and social scenes, the majority of that is found in the villages.
Any dialogue from Ordon after Sword and Shield is contained in this section
with the exception of Sumo Wrestling, so if you're looking for the reactions to
the finding of the children or if you're searching for the Sumo Wrestling
dialogue, look there.
All of the Kakariko Village dialogue after Goron Mines with the exception of
Act Seven, Ascension to the Sky, which is neatly roped into the main story, is
found below.
Hyrule Castle Town presents a different beast, so a minigame like Purlo's STAR
game is in the minigame section, and a sidequest like Agitha's golden bugs can
be found in the sidequest section. After the twilight is cleared, all the
Castle Town dialogue is found below with the sole exception of any Telma's Bar
dialogue of importance pertaining to the main quest.
This section contains all of the Death Mountain dialogue after Goron Mines
since there is nothing of significance that ties into the main quest. Zora's
Domain operates in much the same continuum besides the Snowpeak Mountain
chapter.

1.1: Ordon Village Before the Children are Found
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SERA
Link! Are you OK?!
Oh... Good... That's good, m'dear.
But please, you must tell me! You haven't seen the children, have you?!
Immediately after you left, we were attacked by beastly monsters...
I hesitate to ask, but I must! Please save the children, Link...
Oh... I know! Is there anything here you can use?! I don't have much, but
please take a look around!
Come back if there's anything you need, OK, m'dear?
M'dear... Please... We're counting on you to bring the children back...
Rusl tried to help the children, but he was set upon by the beasts. He last saw
the children heading for the woods.
I wonder if maybe the children were taken off toward Hyrule...
...Oh, I'm sorry for rambling, m'dear. Was there something you wanted?
We're not able to restock anything, but you can take a look at what little we
have left with (analog stick).
Was there anything you wanted, Link?
We don't have much in the way of products...but feel free to look around with
(analog stick).
HANCH
Link... You've come back to us?
Have you heard? The children...
Those poor children... They were taken by monsters...
I'd forgotten how quiet the village is without them...
The children... By now the monsters must have...
Oh, Beth... Daddy's so sorry...
JAGGLE
...Link! You're OK!
Do... Do you know what happened? You haven't seen the tykes, have you?!
These monsters stormed in here and carried them all off! Ilia, the little
ones...all of them!
Rusl got hurt pretty bad, too. The mayor's gone looking for the kids...but he's
getting on in years, y'know? I'm worried for him...
You've gotta search for the tykes! Please, Link!
...Huh?! That shield on your back is the gift we were going to...
I thought the monsters stole it...but you got it before them?
Boy, talk about a misconception on my part! That's good, though. Good!
You never know where or when those monsters might appear, so I hope it's coming
in handy for you!
Me and Hanch can help out with the goats, so don't you worry about a thing.
You just get out there and rescue Ilia and the little tykes for us!
PERGIE
Link...
The children... The children were... By...monsters...
Oh... What are we to do?
Talo... Malo... Please! Just be alive...
RUSL
Mmm... Monsters... Be... Be... Begone... Begone...
Mmm... Uli... Monsters... They... My sword... They...
ULI
Link...!
Oh... At last, a pleasant surprise! You are safe, at least...
The silence of this village... Does it not chill you as it does me?
While you were gone, we were set upon by evil creatures...
I suppose you have already heard...but the children and poor Ilia... They were
taken...
We were all worried that perhaps you had been taken, as well...
Oh, but... I am sorry... As much as I would like to give these tidings to my
husband...
He has just fallen asleep...
But it truly is a fine thing to see you return.
I am sure everyone would be pleased to see you if you were to stop in and say
hello!
Um... Link...
Everyone will return...won't they?
I am sorry... I must believe... If we do not believe, then our children are as
good as lost already...
Yes, all will be fine. After all, you have returned to us, and that is a fair
thing.
I believe that everyone will return safely...
[As you try to leave]
Oh... Link... That sword...
The evil creatures stole it from Rusl...but you... You got it back?!
How wonderful!
I know it is safe in your hands... And you need it now, yes? Please keep using
it, Link.
Well, Link... I hope you will return again to show me your shining face. It
does my heart good to see you well.
And about the sword... I will tell my husband later.
Once he knows you have it, I am sure he will be relieved!
FADO
Link! Bud! Where'd you get them duds?
So... Still in one piece, huh? Good to hear it!
Hoo, bud, we went through a rough time while you were gone. Yeah! Beasts showed
up an' attacked the village!
They didn't do much damage to the buildings...but the tots... They took the
young tots...
Ilia's gone missin', too... They probably...got her, too...
Hey, Link!
If you're runnin' around out there, you gotta go find them tots!
Rusl had a go-round with the monsters that took the tots, but he took a beatin'
doin' it...
An' the mayor's gone lookin', but he's all alone...and old...
That's why we need you, see?
You leave the ranch to me, now! You go find them tots!
[If you return to Ordon in your search for the missing bridge as a wolf]
WHITE CUCCO
Whoa... You stink like the guy from the ranch...
You didn't...EAT him, did you?! ...Huh? You're friends?
BROWN CUCCO
You still got business in this town?
If not, it's probably not a good idea for you to just hang around.
Both you and the villagers will just end up angry at one another...

There hasn't been any change in my little Beth...has there?
She's my only daughter. I've been so worried about her, you know. So, so
worried...
JAGGLE
Yo, Link.
Think you could find the time to check in on the kids once in a while for us?
As for me, I'm gonna change my ways before those kids come home! Yup! I'm gonna
start getting serious about my work!
PERGIE
Tell me, how are my sons doing over there in Kakariko Village?
I worry about the older one's mischievous side...and his little brother is
still so young.
I hope they're being good little boys for whoever is watching over them...
ULI
Do you get to Kakariko Village much, Link?
How has my boy been? Is Colin doing well?
I sent him a letter, but I have yet to get a reply...
I wonder if it will be long before I get a reply from Colin...
Since I have not gotten a letter, it must mean he is busy and doing all right,
does it not?
MAYOR BO
Say, lad, you findin' those boots to be helpful?
...Renado and the elder Gorons haven't caught on, right?
FADO
Well, hey there, Link! Brought Epona, huh?
Well, how's about it? Wanna round them goats up for the first time in a dog's
age?

I got word that Ilia's in Kakariko...which is great, but if she were doin' all
right, she could've sent me a letter sayin' so, right?
You don't think she's found Kakariko Village to be so darn pleasant that she
forgot her old pa's face, do you?
ULI
I received a letter from Colin!
It is doubtful he will be back anytime soon, but he is working hard in Kakariko
Village, and I should not worry...or so he says.
I thought that boy would be so homesick that he would be crying himself to
sleep every night!
But he has grown up so suddenly... It helps me rest easy, but at the same time
it makes me miss him all the more.

Besides, Link, c'mon... Can't you find a way to get Ilia and the tots back here
just a hair faster?
WHITE CUCCO
Although I suppose it's good the rascals didn't get eaten...
On the day he came back to town...
I wanted to congratulate him...
Something tells me we're gonna get eaten.

Appendix A
2.1: Death Mountain After Goron Mines
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GORON #1
The other day I chased you off without listening to what you had to say...
Please, accept my apology, Brother!
If you are going up the mountain, I will launch you as high as I can, Brother!
(No)
Anything you want to go up, I will send you flying, Brother!
(Yes)
All right! Get up on my back, Brother!
GORON #2
I heard from the elder, Brother! We are supposed to let you go up anytime!
You want to go up?
[Note: Unless otherwise noted, the other Gorons in the area simply ask you the
same question about if you want a hand up]
SPRING GORON #1
There have been many more visitors to the hot spring lately, Brother.
Ahhhhh... One day, Brother, I hope the hot spring will be used not just by
Gorons, but by many different tribes.
SPRING GORON #2
Open-air baths are the best, Brother! From now on, it is afternoon bath first,
THEN afternoon nap!
SPRING GORON #3
Darbus has returned from his retreat in the mines...
We have permission to travel to Kakariko Village once again, so I plan to put
together a hot-spring tour, Brother!
SPRING GORON #4
Sitting in a hot spring warms up your body and soul...and gradually fills you
up with energy, Brother.
Even Gorons need to cleanse their spirits once in a while...
SPRING BABY GORON
I am practicing holding my breath, so do not bother me, Brother!
...But no matter how much time passes, I never feel the need to inhale! It is
strange...
GORON COUNCIL #1
Thanks to you, the mountain paths are still open and safe, Brother.
Some of my fellow Gorons went to check on Kakariko Village.
GORON GUARD #1
We overestimated our strength and lost our precious mines...
We must be more levelheaded so this never happens again.
GORON GUARD #2
You really helped us, Brother... I will never forget the debt we owe you!
GOR EBIZO
Looks like the Hero's weapon came in handy...
The world does not appear to be peaceful enough for us to store it away and not
use it.
Your journey must have purpose, young human, so you should bear it with you.
GOR LIGGS
Oh ho ho! Well done, young human!
I should tell you, I had a hunch you would assist us.
Now then... It is my turn to show you my gratitude!
GOR AMOTO
We owe you much...
When things calm down a bit, I will travel to Kakariko and help, too.
GOR CORON
Young warrior! The patriarch wandered home as if nothing had ever happened!
It seems he remembers nothing of the events in the mines...
I feel you deserves his thanks, but...give him some time. He is proud, and I do
not wish for him further anguish.
We will honor our debt to you, though. If you find trouble, we will do our part
to help you. That is a promise, young warrior!
You have my word: we will repay you for rescuing our patriarch!
If you find trouble, young warrior, we will come to your aid!
DARBUS
Huh? What is it, little human? Do you need something from me?
The patriarch of the Goron tribe is Darbus...and that is ME!
I heard some monsters slipped through our defenses while I
was...distracted...and attacked Kakariko.
But do not worry, little human. I have sent some Gorons down to help the
villagers.
Since you have come all this way, you must try the hot spring!
Appendix A

SPRING GORON #3
I visited the hot springs in Kakariko Village the other day, Brother.
It was a pretty nice place, but I have to say I prefer the spacious spring we
have here!
GORON ESCORT
Ahhhhh... It has been a while, but the hot spring is as sweet as ever, Brother!
I went down to Castle Town some time ago, but the bad air made me too tired...
I do not mind telling you, I have had enough of the bodyguard business,
Brother. No more.
I am just going to plant myself right here in the hot spring!

SPRING ZORA #1
Ahhh... That's the stuff...
SPRING ZORA #2

There have been a lot more visitors to the hot spring lately, Brother.
Ahhhh... I am glad to see so many tribes have learned to love hot springs,
Brother.

RENADO
Much has happened here, but at last I feel joy beginning to return to this
village, thanks to you...
Even Talo, who was so saddened by the incident with Colin, has at last
recovered his good spirits.
That young boy wanted dearly to help, so he keeps watch from the observation
platform right now...
The look out platform is high above the bomb shop. I am sure that if you were
to go there to speak to Talo, he would be happy.
LUDA
Come on now, Colin, do you not want to eat some stew?
BETH
Wait, wait! Before you do, drink some of this!
Yeah, it's a special drink I made! I blended water from the spirit's spring
with water from the hot springs! It's yummy!
COLIN
Uh... OK...
BETH
Here you go! One Beth Special!
I mean c'mon, water from the spirit's spring AND the hot springs?! I'll make
you better in no time!
LUDA
Colin, would you not rather have some stew? You must be hungry, are you not?
COLIN
Uh... OK...
BARNES
Hey now, bud!
How 'bout this, now? Yep, I finally managed to get my numbers together and open
up a shop again.
Well, sort of... I guess I've only got one type of bomb, but hey, that's one
more than none, right? If only my storehouse had survived...
But hey, ain't so bad as all that... I'll add more types as we go. For now,
have yourself a look-see at what I've got so far!
VILLAGE GORON #1
We are very grateful to you for saving our chief and our previous mines,
Brother.
We caused a lot of trouble for the people of this village. It is our turn to
repay them!
Hey, Brother! Climb on my back and I will launch you up to the hotel's hot
spring!
(No thanks)
Well, all right, Brother, but if you ever DO want to go up top, I will launch
you up there!
(I'll climb on)
Climb up, Brother!
VILLAGE GORON #2
You saved our chief, Brother, and we are thankful. Now we are able to come back
down to the village again!
Since this town was also attacked, I figured the townsfolk would need supplies.
So, my son and I brought some things down, Brother!
At night, my son opens up a shop down below. You should stop by sometime,
Brother!
YOUNG VILLAGE GORON
Hoooo... A good, warm soak is just what my muscles need before evening falls,
Brother!
I sell stuff across from the Bomb shop at night. I hope to see you there,
Brother!
VILLAGE GORON #3
Now that we are able to go back into our mines, I was finally able to bring
Barnes a new delivery of bomb ingredients, Brother!
It looks like he has already started selling them again. You should try out
Barnes-brand bombs sometime, Brother!
Say, Brother... If you ever want to get onto the roof of the store, I can
launch you up there. What do you say to that?
(No)
Well, all right, Brother, but if you ever DO want to go up top, I will launch
you up there!
(Yes)
Climb up, Brother!
VILLAGE GORON #4
I heard this town was also attacked by beasts, and that it had met with a
terrible fate...
It is shameful that we were so concerned with ourselves that we did not even
help them.
I am helping the little human up above keep watch to help relations between
Kakariko Village and our people on Death Mountain!
You want to check out the view from up top? It is pretty amazing scenery,
Brother! Climb up on my back and take a look!
(No thanks.)
If you want to get a bird's eye-view of town, you should climb on my back,
Brother. I will launch you up!
{I'll climb on!}
Climb up, Brother!
TALO
Link!
Check me out: I'm up here keeping watch for the whole town!
Yeah! Any more monsters try to attack, and I'm gonna be ready! I'll shout my
head off and warn everybody!
Aw, gee, but if I had a bow, then I could just sit up here and shoot all those
nasty monsters...
Oooh! Hey! I know, Link!
You can show me how to use one!
C'mon, PLEASE?! Just show me how to shoot a bow, Link! OK?
(No)
What?! You gotta be kidding...
C'mon! Just show me real quick! I wanna see how to shoot that bow!
(OK)
Oooh! YESSS!
OK! Malo's down there in front of the spring, so go down and find him, then
show me from there!
MALO
You came...
But...can you really use a bow?
I've never seen you so much as hold a bow back in Ordon...
...Whatever.
First off, shoot through that...
You want arrows? Well, including delivery expenses, it comes to 15 Rupees for
10 arrows...
(I'll take 'em.)
They're yours...
(No thanks.)
Are you all done, then?
(I'm no quitter!)
Hey, here's a little friendly advice from me to you: if this were a
battlefield, you'd be dead.
(I give up.)
Do you have confidence issues?
If you've got doubts about your bow skills, you should test out the Hawkeye in
my shop.
[If you restart]
Back again?
All right, THIS time, try to hit THAT...
[If you run out of arrows]
...You're all out of arrows? Do I look surprised to you? You wasted shots like
it was your day job!
Unless your idea of fun is throwing arrows directly into the garbage, you
should try out the Hawkeye in my shop. Trust me, you need it.
All right... If you need arrows, I'll sell some. They're 15 Rupees for 10
arrows. Of course, that includes shipping and handling...
(I'll take 'em.)
(No thanks.)
...Call me crazy, but I don't think a bow with no arrows is ever going to hit a
target... What, were you planning on throwing it?
[If you hit the first target]
Hmph... I guess that one was a bit on the easy side...
Fine. How about THAT?
[If you hit the second]
TALO
HEY!
UP HERE!
Try to hit this pole!
[If you hit the pole]
WHOOOAAA! You hit it! You hit it!
Thanks, Link!
MALO
Oh... I guess you have a little bit of skill when you concentrate.
Looks like you've left some battles behind you... Impressive.
.........
...Take this.
TALO
How'd you get to be so awesome, Link! I mean, gee, you're good at the sword AND
the bow!
Aw, I can't WAIT to grow up!
I can't do much, but at least I TRY really hard!
All's clear!

RENADO
Greetings, Link.
I felt Ilia could use a change of scenery to improve her health, so we came
here.
Who knows? If she gets out and sees daily life, perhaps something will jog her
memory...
Link, perhaps you could keep her in your thoughts?
Link.
If anything happens, I will let you know, but until then... Please keep her in
your thoughts.
ILIA
Oh, Link...
You have gone through so much trouble for me... I'm so sorry...
Colin and the others have told me so much about you, Link.
They tell me that you are brave and kind, and that you herd very well... That
means you must be a good rider, huh?
Oh, and the name of your horse is...Epona, right?
Epona!
What a lovely name!
I'm very good at sensing a horse's feelings, and I can tell you that Epona
trusts you!
You would never ask her to do too much, right?
BETH
I thought that Zora boy had gotten better, but he's been really depressed
lately...
He doesn't try to make friends with anyone, and every day he just gets up and
goes straight to the graveyard! It's really weird!
COLIN
Oh, Link!
I heard from the shaman that Ilia might be able to get her memory back!
Yeah! AND the Zora boy opened his eyes!
Yeah, I thought those were both pretty good things, but Ilia and the Zora boy
seem pretty sad still.
Ilia and the Zora boy both went out...
Ilia goes to the sanctuary every day. I think she prays there...
The Zora boy prays, too. Every day he goes to the graveyard and stays for
hours...
How can I make them be happy again?
LUDA
Link...
The Zora child has opened his eyes and is up and about!
But...
All he does is go to the graveyard behind the sanctuary and pray... All day,
from morning until night, he prays...
That poor Zora boy... He must have been through something awful...
I hope he will start feeling better soon...
VILLAGE GORON #3

Link, did you know?
That Zora boy is actually the prince of the Zora tribe! Yeah!
Aw, if I had gotten to know him better, maybe I could've gone and met the royal
family and been a princess or something...
Awwww, RATS! I let a REALLY big fish get away!
Hey... Y'know what my dad says?
He says, "The loneliest fish grow largest." You think that means Ralis is meant
to be alone for now?
COLIN
Oh, Link!
That Zora boy, Ralis, went back to his village the other day!
Did you say something to Ralis, Link?
That was really nice!
Ilia goes to the sanctuary every day to pray...
I really hope she gets her memory back soon... Maybe then she'll feel better.
LUDA
Link!
The Zora boy said that you have him courage!
I guess that boy... Is his name Ralis? Yes, well, I guess Ralis is the son of
the Zora royal family.
He said that he was the successor to the Zora throne, so he had to go back to
his home...
I am just glad that thanks to you, he has healed, Link.
Ralis must be hard at work in his own village...
Now, if we could just find a way to get Ilia her memory back, then everything
would be great...

It is a blessing to see Ilia return to good health.
The return of her memory is the fruit of your efforts.
As for me... Nothing could bring me greater joy than to aid the daughter of an
old friend. I look upon her and see her father's smile.

Welcome!
Excuse me... I am terribly sorry, but...
Well, having a costumer in the store with shoes as filthy as yours can make our
other clients uncomfortable.
We hope that you will come back once you have found some more-polished
footwear.
I am terribly sorry. We're sorry, but the shop is now closed. Please come again
later.
SOAL
Hey, you! Your shoes are grimy!
No matter how good your clothes look, you don't look pulled together if your
shoes are dirty.
If someone's checking you out, they'll look at your shoes too...
I bet they didn't let you in that snooty shop, did they?
What do you think? I polish 'em up real nice for 10 Rupees.
(No need.)
Listen, you! With shoes that dirty, you'll never make it to the top!
Hey, you! Your shoes are grimy!
I'll polish 'em for you for 10 Rupees.
(OK!)
Now that's what I'm talking about! I'll polish 'em so well, they'll shine!
So? What do you think? Shiny, eh?
If they get dirty again, I'll polish 'em up for you.
Feels good to be wearing shoes as shiny as those, don't it?
In crowded places like this, though, you can't help but get 'em dirty.

CAFE CLERK
Oh, sightseeing? Or on business?
This is a wonderful town. The residents are friendly, too, so please feel free
to talk to them.
This is one of the older shops in Castle Town, so most of our costumers are
regulars...
Though most of them are gossips...
CAFÉ PHILOSOPHER
The more I watch them every day, the more interesting I find people are...
The busier the person, the less time he or she has to care about others. In
contrast, people with more leisure time listen more.
Who knows which type of person is better...
People who have a lot of leisure time make better, more sincere listeners than
those who are busily scurrying about.
The more relaxed a person is, the nicer he or she becomes, that's what I've
found.
It's best not to overfill one's plate with work or anything...

YOUNG CASTLE TOWN GORON #1
Ah! It is my heroic brother!
My dad brought me back here for the first time in a while.
But things around here look a little different from the last time...
We were allowed through the inner gate right away last time, but this time we
were not let through at all. And without a reason, even...
Oh, and Brother... I am selling potions here now.
You can buy one cup of red potion for only 40 Rupees!
(Don't Buy)
And if you want to know why the prices are higher than in Kakariko, it is what
my dad calls "regional pricing"! It is innovative!
Hey, Brother, do you have enough red potion?
Drink it up for lots of health, Brother! I am talking about one cup of red
potion for 40 Rupees!
You do not have enough Rupees, Brother...
(Buy)
Thanks, Brother! Come back anytime you need more!
I cannot sell you read potion without an empty bottle, Brother... Make sure you
bring one next time.
CASTLE TOWN GORON #1
Oh... You are the hero who saved our elder, are you not? What an honor to meet
you again, Brother!
Thanks to you, we were able to come back here and resume business!
But having been gone a while, I have noticed a strange difference in the air
here...
Anyway... Would you want a Hylian shield for 210 Rupees?
(Don't Buy)
See, it is a little more expensive here because of regional pricing and all...
That is the way of the world, Brother.
I cannot sell it for as low a price as you might get in Kakariko Village, but
for you, I can still make a decent bargain, Brother.
Would you want a Hylian shield for 210 Rupees?
(Buy)
Thanks, Brother! I am sure you will make fine use of that purchase!
We will be doing business here for a while, Brother, so come take a look
anytime.
YOUNG CASTLE TOWN GORON #2
Hello, Heroic Brother! Nice to see you again!
I am here to peddle with my dad. He is out on the observation deck.
Hey, Brother! One cup of lantern oil is 30 Rupees! What a bargain!
(Don't buy)
What, you think it is expensive? Well, that is crazy talk!
Brother! One cup of lantern oil is 30 Rupees! You must buy it!
(Buy)
Thanks, Brother! When you need oil, make sure you buy it from me!
I cannot sell you oil without an empty bottle...
You do not have enough Rupees... You may be a brother to the Gorons, but I
cannot give it away for free!
[Once you come out from the observational deck]
So, is the view from the observation deck really nice?
My dad is serious about business, so he always says, "I must man the store!"
...Which means he never takes me out to the deck...
But I want to be a good business Goron like him, so maybe it is all for the
best...
So, Brother, would you buy some lantern oil from me for 30 Rupees?
(Don't buy}
Come back whenever you need some. I must man the store no matter what, so I
will be here!
Brother.
Just buy some lantern oil from me for 30 Rupees, OK?
{Buy}
Thanks, Brother.
Still, I came all the way to Castle Town, so I would like to see the view from
the deck...
CASTLE TOWN GORON #2
Oh, it is you? Thanks for that business with the elder, Brother.
Thanks to you, I am back here in Castle Town, doing business again, Brother!
It has been a while, but I am glad to see that the people and the general vibe
have not changed too much.
However... I cannot quite figure it, but there is something a little strange
going on here that I noticed...
Do you not feel anything?
So anyway, do you have enough arrows, Brother?
Would you like to buy 30 arrows for 40 Rupees?
(Don't buy)
I see... Well, if you decide you need something, just come back and make a
purchase, Brother.
Unlike other Gorons, business seems to be the only thing I am good at, Brother.
So how about 30 arrows for 40 Rupees, Brother?
(Buy)
I will be right here, though, so you can come back anytime.
Do not worry about it if you have a bunch of arrows, Brother. Just return when
you need more!
You do not... have enough Rupees, Brother...

HYLIAN WOMAN #2
Wow... The fortunes in this place really are accurate!
My fortune said that if I stand in front of a shop, a man wanting to date me
would come talk to me.
That's what you're doing, right? Sorry, but you're not my type.
AGITHA'S STALKER
What? What's up with you?
You have some business at Agitha's Castle?
You don't look like you'd be a friend of hers...
I've got a piece of advice for you...
If you don't have any business here, you're better of not loitering for very
long.
YOUNG GORON
My dad can't get any hot springwater to sell, so lately he just sits outside
the western gate.
I talk to him but he just sighs... He does not seem like the father I remember!
If you need help, you should talk to the village elder! I would go, but my legs
will not take me there...
HYLIAN MAN #2
Hey, swordsman, are you looking for something?
If you're looking for the bar, I'd recommend against it... Sounds like
something's going on...
Sounds like something's going on in the bar...
Everyone was up in arms...
HYLIAN WOMAN #3
Oh, what's this?
Might you be looking for the bar, too?
Well, if you already know, then fine! I get asked quite often where it is...
You're looking for the young woman who recently started there, aren't you? The
bar's at the base of the stairs.
What? On this street, the only place for swordsmen like you is the bar.
The bar is at the bottom of the steps.
HYLIAN WOMAN #4
Oh, you need something?
If you're looking for something a swordsman might use, you should check the
central square, OK?
Yeah, I think there was a Goron on the observation deck that was selling
something a swordsman could use.
He came here selling his wares often in the past, but I hadn't seen him until
recently...
If you're looking for something a swordsman might use, you should check the
deck in the square.
The entrance to the deck is next to the café. If you can't find it, why don't
you just try asking someone in the area?
HYLIAN MAN #3
Say, have you ever been to Agitha's place on this backstreet?
If you take a bug to her... Oops! I can't say anything else!
HYLIAN SOLDIER #3
Do you have a second? Do you know a guy named Jovani?
My girl here put out a missing persons report on him. I think she's just trying
to make me jealous.
Strange things are happening...and some people are even saying it's the work of
evil ghouls...
It's kind of become an urban legend, in a way...
If you ever meet a man called Jovani, tell him to get in touch with this girl
here...
His cat's gone missing, too, so I'll bet that cat is with him.
NARRATIVE
You got a sweet-looking apple! It looks just ready to eat, too!
Hmm... Hold on. It looks like the shop over there has some too, so maybe you
should compare to see which ones are sweetest first.
You got some bread! It's hot and fresh from the oven!
...But it costs WAY too many Rupees, so you should put it back.
You got a pretty flower! And the price is nice, too!
...But there's no one manning the shop, so you should put it back.
HYLIAN SOLDIER #4
What? If you want to go to the eastern thoroughfare, just keep going straight
down the back road.
If you head out on this path, you'll be in Hyrule Field, but I don't know if
the road goes all the way through...
Go through the back road to the eastern thoroughfare.
This is the way out of Hyrule Field. ...Though I don't know if you can go
through right now.
Got all that?
OLD HYLIAN
Now, you seem like you can handle yourself pretty well, but do you know what's
been going on around here lately?
It's just that... There are rumors that recent dire events are being caused by
a curse from the people who were driven from this land...
You know, if you came here looking to become a soldier, but you've changed your
mind now, I won't say a thing to anyone...
Hyrule was always known as a sacred land in the past, and even now it's
protected by the royal family and other spiritual figures...
But there was a time when Hyrule was torn by conflicts that swept the land...
And these recent disturbing events may be caused by the leftover anger and
misery of the souls who departed in that conflict...
VENDER #1
Haven't seen this swordsman before... Is something going on?
Well... It seems like a lot of strange things are happening lately...
Though the townsfolk don't show it, on the inside, they're all pretty scared.
Though the soldiers look calm and go about their daily routine...
Rumor has it that not even soldiers can go deep inside Hyrule Castle...
VENDER #2
Oh, welcome!
Are you from out of town? Me too.
I've always been fascinated with castle towns. That's what brought me here.
It's been one culture shock after another.
Unlike the country, people are so busy... They won't stop for you even if you
call to them!
City folk seem so anxious... It kind of perplexed me at first, but...there are
secret to city living.
If there's anything you need, ask people who have nothing to do. They're
normally happy to help.
CONCERNED PARENT
I came here to buy hot springwater, but the owner of this shop is out...
The hot springwater at this shop is supposed to be good for the health, so I
came to get some for my child... What am I going to do?
This is the only shop that has hot springwater. I wonder when they'll sell it
to us?
[After you complete the hot springwater sidequest]
Are you here to buy some hot springwater? Do you have an empty bottle to carry
it in?
I'm so foolish... I forgot an empty bottle. Maybe I'll go buy some container so
I can get some for my child...
At this shop, as long as you have a bottle, they'll sell you what goes in it.
So it's environmentally friendly! That's why we always come here.
VENDER #3
Oh, what is it?
I just recently got transferred to this shop, so I'm not very familiar with
this area.
Maybe you should ask the people around here?
I'm so sorry...
I'm sorry, but I'm not very familiar with this area...
I'm terribly sorry...
HYLIAN WOMAN #5
Well, I don't think we've seen this swordsman before...
There's only one shop in the central plaza that sells items for swordsmen.
...But everything there is so expensive that only wealthy people can shop
there.
There are items that a swordsman might need at the shop in the central
plaza...but it's expensive...
If you've never been there, you should check it out.
But the shop is really picky about its clientele. Especially about how clean
their shoes are...

CHILD #1
Hey, you! Swordsman kid! Do you know anything about the kid who passed out?
CHILD #2
He keeps saying that they didn't take him to the hospital, but to a shop!
CHILD #1
But that's what I heard!
CHILD #1
Hey! Swordsman! Did you see the sick kid at any of the shops?
CHILD #2
But why would they take him to a shop when he's sick...
CHILD #1
I'm not lying! That's what I heard!

HYLIAN WOMAN #6
Oh, what is it?
HYLIAN WOMAN #7
Are you looking for a doctor or something?
HYLIAN WOMAN #6
The only thing on this street is a doctor's office. See, there. Immediately
before you get to the outer gate.
HYLIAN WOMAN #6
If you're looking for a doctor's office, it's there, just before the gate.
Yeah, see the soldier standing there?
HYLIAN WOMAN #7
I wouldn't recommend that fellow, though...

DOCTOR BORVILLE
I'm busy! Bother, bother!
WESTERN THOROUGHFARE GUARD
A Goron passed through here earlier. I wonder what he's doing...
The western bridge is closed, and there shouldn't be a way out, but...
I wonder what the Goron beyond here is doing...
SPRINGWATER VENDER GORON
Ooowahhh... Oh noooo... This is the end.
The bridge is broken, so we cannot carry springwater... Now there is no way to
work...
Ohhh... I wish someone would fix this bridge...
GORON OUTSIDE CASTLE WALLS
...Hey! You are that human, yes?! The other Gorons told me about you, Brother!
Just take a look at these rocks! Amazing! Was there a landslide or something?
What are you doing here anyway, Brother? Are you trying to pass through here?
If I drank some hot springwater, it might give me the strength to break through
a big rockfall like this...
Hey, Brother, if you find some hot springwater, you should come see me again!

The Zora child... I heard the doctor on West Street gave up, so Telma too him
to another town.
GOSSIPING WOMAN #2
I heard...but that quack probably didn't give the child a full exam because he
was a Zora.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOMAN OUTSIDE OF SHOP #1
Do you know Kakariko Village? There's a shop there that has the BEST deals!

I wish we had shops like that here, instead of that fancy-pants expensive one!

Yeah, that'd be great!

And even today, somewhere he stays, though he's grown-up... Wah! Sniff! He
moans...UH!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VENDER
Might you be the swordsman who tried to rescue the Zora child?
You are, aren't you? No one will say anything...but you're the talk of the
town.
There's been nothing but scary rumors lately, so your actions have given
everyone hope.
You're far more reliable than the incompetent Hyrulian soldiers.
I can't explain it but...Castle Town has changed.
The soldiers and the residents are all uneasy...
And on top of that, we haven't seen Princess Zelda, who is such a supporter of
the people.
Do you know something?
VENDER
Hey, welcome...
Or rather... You don't look like you came here to buy meat, now do you,
swordsman?
Might you be looking for the bar? It's right there at the bottom of the stairs
behind you.
We see a lot of swordsmen like you around here.
The bar is at the bottom of the stairs behind you. The owner is always very
nice to me!
WOMAN
Aren't you... Didn't you save the Zora child?
I'm right, aren't I? It's you, isn't it? Am I mistaken?
I know I'm right! I know these things!
But you're so young! I'm very impressed...
MAN
Hey, swordsman, where to today?
I know, you know? I've heard. People were talking about you and what you've
done...
That Zora boy, how's he doing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AURU
What?! You mean Queen Rutela?!
ASHEI
Yes. She sacrificed her own life in order to protect the residents of Zora's
Domain.
Not only that, but the whole village and those in it were frozen in ice.
SHAD
Frozen? Zora's Domain, frozen? But it's such a warm climate...
ASHEI
I don't know details yet... I plan on investigating that next.
Hey!
SHAD
Well, what have we here, hm? That's quite an outfit you have on, old boy.
That timeless design... You're sporting the legendary hero LOOK, aren't you?
Tell me, where did you buy it? Wait... Please don't tell me you made it
YOURSELF?!
Oh, dear, I'd love to wear something like that!
Pray tell, if you were to ever tire of that thing, would you part with it?
Mister HERO! ...Heh heh.
ASHEI
......
...What?
...Are you an actor or something?
Dressing like the legendary hero... Wow, gutsy.
If you want to get stared at, why not just join the circus or something?
Looking at your innocent face for too long gives me heartburn...
How about you not talk to me, yeah?
AURU
Oh... Are you a costumer?
The proprietress is out, so the bar is closed... Did you not see the sign
outside?
Would you mind leaving for now?
You still need something?
Do you think I would be troubled by a young man wandering recklessly in here?
Unless you work harder at honing your skills, all that equipment you have won't
do you any good.

HYLIAN WOMAN #2
The fortunes from this place are so spot-on, it's scary.
You know, it said that even if I rebuff him, once a man is captivated by me,
he'll keep approaching me.
I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in younger men...
HYLIAN WOMAN #8
Do you like dogs? They're cute, huh?
If you throw a bone or something, they'll bring it back, you know?
You should play with one if you have some free time.
If you throw a bone or something, they wag their tails so happily...
Dogs are so cute...

DOG
Say, what would you say you're good at?
I'm good at...picking stuff up!
Really, I'd rather be playing in a meadow...but my master doesn't understand.
Let's play sometime!
YELLOW CAT
Mr. Gengle can't come out today either...
Apparently his master is more important than I am!
BLACK AND WHITE CAT
I hear voices coming from Jovani's room, but...I wonder if there's something
keeping him in there.
BROWN AND WHITE CAT
I wonder what Gengle is up to in the house...
The ground is soft from the rain, so I wonder if you can dig your way in under
the wall, meow?
BLACK CAT #1
We normally hold our meetings in the open space in front of Jovani's house,
but...
I don't see why, if Boss Gengle isn't coming anyway, we can't have the meeting
in front of my house.
BLACK CAT #2
It looks like there is no bar on this street... Maybe I'll look somewhere else.
WHITE DOG
Say...what do you like?
I like...picking stuff up!
But I hate stone pavements because it makes my paws hurt! No one understands
that!
I like...to pick things up!
But I don't like stone pavements because it makes my feet hurt...
CASTLE TOWN GORON #2
You...
You can see it, correct? What has happened to Hyrule Castle...
That strange feeling I noticed when we first arrived... Perhaps it was this all
along, Brother...
I must tell you, I have kept this a secret from the others. Yes, it is a secret
to everybody.
I do not want to agitate the young ones.
Despite all that is going on, if you think you need more arrows, just let me
know, Brother.
So... Would you want to buy 30 arrows for 40 Rupees?

Our queen was beautiful and proud.
I would've dearly loved to introduce you to her, traveler, but that's no longer
possible...
ZORA GUARD #2
We were all so close to our queen... Guarding her empty throne is almost more
than I can bear...
But still, until our prince returns, it is our duty to watch over this room.
ZORA GUARD #3
Normally we'd extend the warmest of welcomes to a traveler like yourself...
ZORA GUARD #4
As you can see from that empty throne, we've lost our village's leader, and now
I fear our people are in danger of losing their way.
Now when I think of what might have happened to the prince, I feel so...
ZORA #1
Excuse me, traveler... Did you just come from town, by any chance?
Have you seen Prince Ralis... I mean, have you seen a Zora boy as you were
traveling?
Traveler, did you see a Zora boy when you were in town?
ZORA #2
Did you see the boulder that sank to the bottom of the water?
It looked like it was some sort of volcanic rock...but then, where did it fall
from?
A Goron came out of the volcanic rock... So that means it came all the way from
Death Mountain, right?
ZORA #3
We Zoras can't survive without a moist environment.
Our poor prince... If only he hadn't collapsed underneath that withering sun...
SWIMMING ZORA #1
I survived thanks to that volcanic rock... I don't know what I would've done
without it!
UNDERWATER ZORA
When you look at that rock, don't you...sense something strange?
Like, I don't know... Like...it's looking at you or something.
I feel like that rock is looking at me... Am I getting water crazy?
There was a Goron hiding inside?! Whoa!
What a strong life force these Gorons have! You've got to respect it. It's hard
to stay angry at them for long...
That Goron... What's he up to?
UNDEWATER GORON
Say, Brother, did you just break that rock for me? Thanks!
I took a nap and found myself swallowed up in lava...and somehow very far from
home!
Uh, yes... Well, let me give you a token of appreciation, Brother!
This is all I have on me right now. I hope it will do!
Say, where am I anyway, Brother? This place is a little cold for a hot
spring...
But hey, this is nice and cool! I like it! It is a COLD spring!
Hot springs are nice, but this place is pretty good, too!

So, what do you think? Is it not a splendid waterfall? This one is the largest
in our domain.
And this waterfall flows directly from the throne room.
If you would like, I can take you there.
(No, thank you.)
If at any time you need to visit the throne room, just let me know.
(Yes, let's go.)
OK, then...
ZORA SOLDIER #2
We suffered a mortal loss when the dark ones raided us.
It was our cowardice that cost us our queen...

If you have business in the throne room, then please speak to the attendant at
the base of the waterfall.

Up ahead is Snowpeak, a mountain engulfed by an endless blizzard.
The weather is bad, and travel is treacherous. If you head out without a marked

Come see us anytime, Link. You will always be welcome here.
Well, we aren't accustomed to hosting humans, but please make yourself at home.

Hey there, Brother! Buy something! Buy something!
I brought a lot from the mountain, Brother! Different stuff from the shop here!
Take a look!
That's all I brought, Brother!
I am here every night, so come by next time, Brother!
Brother! Hey, Brother!
Buy something, Brother! Buy!
I will be here tomorrow, too, in case you are interested!
Lantern Oil 20 Rupees
The mountain trail is pitch-black at night! Make sure you have enough oil,
Brother!
Lantern oil costs 20 Rupees, Brother. Will you buy some?
Thank you so much, Brother! I will just pour some oil into your empty bottle!
Looks like you still have some oil left. Should I fill you up anyway, Brother?
The price is still 20 Rupees...
Thank you so much, Brother! I will just pour some oil into your lantern!
Red Potion 30 Rupees
This replenishes 8 hearts, Brother! If you will be traveling, you should take
some with you.
Red potion costs 30 Rupees. But you cannot afford it, so you cannot have it,

That's right! Now you'll get to taste the true height of perfection with my
finely-crafted bombs!
Oh... And you can combine bombs and arrows to make bomb arrows for when you
need ranged explosives!
I'll send you a letter with the details later so you can read about it at your
leisure.
Water Bombs (5): 30 Rupees
These bombs even work underwater! I sell 'em in sets of five.
Prices are 30 Rupees for 5 bombs, 60 for 10, or 90 for 15. If that's too steep,

Whoa! An Ordonian! Hey, guy!
Listen, I'm not sure you should be wandering around the woods without a
lantern. Just because it's daylight doesn't mean it's safe.
There are a ton of caves and dank spots around here that get pretty dark even
in the middle of the day.
Here! Go on, guy. Take this!
[Coro offers Link a lantern]
See, I sell lantern oil here...
I'm trying to drum up sales by giving away free lanterns! It's a business
tactic, guy!
See, as long as you've got oil to fuel your lantern, you can light your way and
set fire to stuff. They're the best!
Go on, guy! Try setting a fire under that big pot!
[Link sets the logs ablaze]
That's right! See! It's on fire, guy!
Yeah! You keep using that lantern anytime you feel the need. And if it runs out
of oil, you come see me to get it refilled!
Hey, guy! How's the oil level in your lantern?
I'll fill your lantern to the brim for just 20 rupees!
(No)
You keep using that lantern, and if you run out of oil, come see me, guy!
There's a really dark cave over thataway. You can get some use out of your
lantern there, for sure!
(Yes)
That's great, guy. Let me refill your lantern!
Hey, guy! How's the oil level in your lantern?
Huh... But you don't have an empty bottle, and your lantern is already full, am
I right, guy?
You keep using that lantern, and if it runs out of oil, come and see me, guy!
There's a really dark cave over thataway. You can get some use out of your
lantern there, for sure!
[After clearing the twilight]
Hunh?!
So... It's the Ordonian!
You seemed familiar, but then your clothes seem kinda different, so I got
thrown off for a second!
Listen... Things have been a little rough around here lately, so you should
watch your step, OK, guy?
There are so many monsters now... I got kinda scared and closed off the path to
the temple.
But... You, guy... You wanna get back there, huh?
You sure do looked geared up for it... So here you go!
[Coro gives Link the small key]
Oh yeah... The woods on the other side of the cave are covered in really thick
fog, so make sure your lantern is full!
You're definitely going to need to use your lantern a lot in there, so bring
all the oil you can!
And check this out! I have a special, one-time offer of a bottle full of
lantern oil for only 100 Rupees! How 'bout it, guy? What a bargain!
(Never mind.)
(Buy!)
Aw, no, guy! Th-This won't do! You don't have enough Rupees!
So, you need oil, guy?
Right now we have a 100-Rupee oil bottle and 20-Rupee refills to choose from!
{Buy an oil bottle)
Thanks a lot, guy! Here you go!
Say, guy, you been to the Forest Temple yet?
Isn't it great? I mean, sure, there've been a couple monsters stirring things
up lately, but still...
That's just the world we live in right now, know what I mean? Things are rough
all over...
(Quit)
What?! That's not right, guy...
But I gave you that lantern for free... Man...
Hey, guy! How's the oil level in your lantern?
For just 20 Rupees I can fill either your lantern or an empty bottle!
(Refuel lantern)
That's great, guy. Let me refill your lantern!
(Never mind)
You keep using that lantern, and if it runs out of oil, come and see me, guy!
Say, guy, you going somewhere now?
You just remember that the world's a mess, guy! Seriously! You watch your back
out there!
(After the second dungeon he adds...)
Hey, and you want some advice? Two words: be plenty careful around that Zora's
River.
[If your bottles are full]
I'll fill your lantern to the brim for just 20 Rupees!
(Yes)
(No)
[If your lantern is full]
I can fill that empty bottle for 20 Rupees!
(Yes)
Thanks, guy! Anytime you need a lantern filled, I'm your guy!
(No)
[If your lantern and bottles are full]
Huh... But you don't have an empty bottle, and your lantern is already full, am
I right, guy?
You keep using that lantern, and if it runs out of oil, come and see me, guy!
[At night]
...............
OOO-WAAAH!
Oh... It's you, guy. Thanks for uh...waking me up, there.
[As wolf]
My, it sure is rare to see wolves around these parts...
You're a good boy now, aren'tcha? Good boy... Don't hurt me...
Say, you seem to like people...
But I bet even a good pup like you gets the evil eye from people just 'cause
you're a wolf.
But me, I'm not worried about you, little guy. My older sister is much scarier
than you.

6: Hena's Fishing Hole
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hi there!
Hey! You... You've never been here before, have you?
Well, I'm the owner of this fishing hole. My name's Hena.
Nice to meet ya!
It's 20 Rupees to try some lure fishing. There's no time limit, and the canoe
rental's included!
Wanna give it a shot?
(No)
Hmm? You sure?
Go ahead and poke around the shop a bit if you want.
If you see anything that catches your fancy, use C to zoom in for a closer
look, OK?
You wanna try some lure fishing?
It's 20 Rupees for the whole deal. There's no time limit, and the canoe
rental's included. That sound OK?
(Yes)
OK!
Well, seeing how this is your first time and all, I'll throw in the guide
service for free!
Let's get fishing!
(Check)
Use your canoe to paddle around and search for a good spot! Be careful, though,
you'll spook the fish if you get too close!
I'd recommend the natural bridge in the middle of the lake. That's a good spot.
Oh, yeah! If you're after big boys, try the area around the waterfall!
When you're ready to fish, first grab your rod with B and use (analog stick) to
choose where to cast.
Then hold down A and raise your rod with (wand). Next, quickly swing it
forward, releasing A as you swing to cast your lure.
When your lure hits the water, you can move it by jiggling (wand) left and
right.
Good luck!
(Help)
What do you want to do?
(Keep fishing as is)
(Change lures)
Swimming Lure
The back-and-forth action attracts all types of fish.
Spinner Lure
The call of this lure's propeller is a siren song to nervous fish.
Popper Lure
The call of this sound-making lure is great for big fish in deep waters.
(Call it quits)
You really want to quit?
(Don't quit)
(Quit)
Hey, all done? Woo! That was fun, wasn't it?
I put the fish you kept into the tank! We should fish together again sometime!
[If you catch a bass as your first fish]
Whoa! Your first fish caught using a lure! That's a fish to remember!
Congrats! You caught yourself the definitive lake fish, a good old Hyrule bass!
Your fish looks to be (X) inches! What do you wanna do?
(Keep)
(Release)
There are a lot of fish by the banks, so if you cast from the water toward the
banks, you'll be in good shape.
If there are no fish where you've cast, you can reel in quickly by rotating the
Nunchuk. Then just pick a new spot.
When moving in the canoe, you can press C to change the camera to first-person
view, so use that to your advantage!
The secret to making your lure move realistically is to jiggle it then let it
sit. Keep repeating that lure action!
Thing is, if you move it too quickly, or if you let it sit too long, the fish
will lose interest, so be careful!
[If you catch the Piece of Heart]
What's that? A Piece of Heart?!
Ooh, whose heart did you catch? You big sweetheart!
Don't be shy! This one's yours to keep!
[If you catch a catfish]
Oh... An Ordon catfish, huh? Not much demand for these...
It's not that they aren't kinda cute, but they're slimy, you know?
Let's see, it's about (X) inches... What do you wanna do?
[If you catch a Hylian pike]
Wow! Look at that! You landed a Hylian pike! Anglers everywhere are going crazy
about this fish!
It looks to be about (X) inches. What do you wanna do?
[If you catch a Hyrule bass]
Oh wow! That's a Hyrule bass! Sizewise I'd say it's about (X) inches, or so.
This one's a record breaker, so you can keep it if you like. What do you say?
[If you look around the shop]
That's a special fish tank just for my costumers!
I'm fond of those greengills, of course, but if you catch anything, I'll toss
it in, too!
Of course, I don't wanna encourage overfishing, so I only keep the biggest of
each fish type that gets brought in.
Those old greengills like company, so get out there and catch 'em some friends,
will ya?
Ooh, that's my private boat, sorry. I don't lend it out to costumers.
It's a two-seater, so I only use it when I have a boyfriend.
That's for me and my boyfriend, and nobody else.
I'm not gonna tell you the last time I rode in that canoe...
Soooo cute, isn't she? Her name's Purdy!
She even talks sometimes!
That's mine.
Y'know, it's generally considered polite to take your hat off when you come
indoors...
When you come inside, you're supposed to take off your hat! That's just good
manners!
I'm not saying you have to do it, but I figured I ought to at least tell you.
Someday you might offend someone less laid-back than me!
That's one of Hyrule's legendary master fisherman! Look, he's got a Hylian
loach, doesn't he?
He just may be one of my ancestors!
Of course, I can't exactly PROVE that... It's kinda just wishful thinking on my
part.
The Legendary Hyrulian Master Fisherman... Wish I could've been born in that
era.
That's my older brother, Coro, and a 25-inch Ordon catfish he caught.
He's the only one in our family who's lousy at fishing. He only managed to
catch that fish by using a sinking lure. Cheater...
Another thing about my lazy brother... I ask him to drop by and help out from
time to time, but he never does.
He can't fish a lick, so he spends his time in the woods, talking to animals, I
guess. Yeah, he's kinda worthless...
That's me and the first fish I caught here, a 28-inch Hylian pike!
I swear, I'll never forget that day. Such sweet memories...
Yeah, a lot of folks tell me this picture is really cute...
'Cause it catches the pike's good side.
That's my older sister. That shot is from the day she caught herself a 17-inch
Hyrule bass.
Her name's Iza, by the way.
Make sure you drop by her boat-rental shop sometime, OK?
What's your story? You looking at my sister's picture again?
Is she your type or something? You have WEIRD taste.
That's a 22-inch Hyrule bass I caught!
It's not very big, but it's a fish I spotted and caught all by myself, so I
took that picture!
So, um, tell me... Between this picture and the picture of my sister Iza, which
one do you think's cuter?
(Hena's photo!)
Ooh, really? ...Y'know, I don't care if you're just being nice, I'm still
happy! You're too sweet!
I promise I won't breath a word to my sister, so don't worry!
(Iza's photo!)
(They're both cute!)
Um, why are you staring at that photo when the real me is standing right here,
silly?
What's your story? Aren't you a little young to be interested in jar
collecting?
I don't want those to get broke, so I store 'em up out of the way.
It sounds crazy, but I've heard stories of people who have nothing better to do
than go around breaking every jar they see.
I mean, is that the dumbest thing you've ever heard in your life?! Who would DO
that?!
You can only fish with floating lures here, and I lend out three different
types.
The basic lure's the swimmer type, but I also have poppers and spinners!
Ooh, and I also have a frog type, but that's kinda tough to use.
I only lend THAT to people who can beat that game next to the door.
Sinking lures are NOT allowed! That's what we call CHEATING!
Basically, I lend out three types of lures: swimmers, poppers, and spinners.
Ooh, and for anyone who can beat the game by the door there, I also have a frog
type!
That's the ultimate fishing book:
The Legend of the Hylian Loach: Twilight Fish!
Ah, the loach... Like bass, loaches prefer the shallows. They love frogs, but
they're antsy, so they'll bolt when humans are around.
They're not very active in cold weather either, so the best season to catch 'em
in is summer!
That book's a real tearjerker, too! It's about how a young Hylian loach saves
Hyrule... I've read it so many times, I can almost recite it.
You want me to give you an idea about how The Legend of the Hylian Loach:
Twilight Fish goes?
(Sure!)
(No, thanks.)
Really? But it's SUCH a good story...
It's 20 Rupees to try some lure fishing. There's no time limit, and the canoe
rental's included!
You can also get yourself a charming and savvy guide, but that deluxe fishing
package will run you 100 Rupees!
What do you say? Hmm?
(Quit)
Hmm? You sure?
Go ahead and poke around the shop a bit if you want.
If you see anything that catches your fancy, use C to zoom in for a closer
look, OK?
[If you roll into things around the shop]
Hey, take it easy! What're you doing?! You're spooking the fish!
Hey, take it easy! There's no call for that!
Hey, take it easy! You be nice to Purdy!
C'mon... Can't you try to control yourself? I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
That's it! Enough! You're being a jerk! Get OUT!
...What?
(Sorry...)
If saying sorry solved everything, all the soldiers in Hyrule would be out of
jobs...Fine. Apology accepted.
(I apologize.)
(Please forgive me!)

Hm... What's this? You seem pretty cozy with people for a wolf...
Well if you don't want to wind up a rug, you'd better scat! Shoo!
Hey! Stay away!
Well if you don't want to wind up a rug, you'd better scat! Shoo!

Hm... A costumer?
Sorry, but we're temporarily closed.
.........
What?
I said we're closed... Now scram!
[twilight monsters descend from the sky]
YAAAH!
Whoa, that scared me...
Who...are you?
How can you keep your cool fighting monsters like that?
...Uh... Wow... You...
Wow, what a champ you are!
Well, what are we standing around jawing for? Come on inside!
Golly...
Talk about scary... I thought I was done for!
Things have been getting pretty crazy around here, let me tell you...
So thanks for earlier...
My name's Iza. I rent boats here.
Well, I USED to rent boats here, but then we had a rockfall and it dammed the
river up.
Yeah... I could sure use a helpful guy around at times like this...
Yup, a handy guy would sure be a big help around here.
(......)
....Ah, well.
Story of my life. There's not much I can do for you, but come visit anytime!
I just get so awfully bored here when there's no work...
I want to open up again, but we need to take care of those rocks blocking the
river first...
I wish someone could do something about it...
(I'll help.)
REALLY?!
You're a lifesaver!
Well, do you think you could do something about that rock?
I'll give you some bombs and arrows, so you just put 'em together and shoot
bomb arrows at that thing.
Hey, hurry up and take out that rock with your bomb arrows!
You know how to make bomb arrows, right?
Just set your bow on the Items screen, then select your bombs and press Z to
combine them.
We've got tons of bombs and arrows, so just holler if you need them!
What? You used all your arrows? Well, here you go!
What? You used all your bombs? Well, here you go!
[If you leave]
Hey, hold on! Where are you going?!
If you're not going to help, give me my bomb bag back!
[When you clear the river]
YAY!
You did it!
Well, my gal tells me there are still some rocks blocking the way along the
river, so you should take care of those, too.
Here's the boat... Hop in!
Now...it's a teensy bit dangerous downriver of here, so don't leave the boat,
OK?
One of our part-timers is waiting down there, so you can get the details from
her!
And when you're done, you can keep that bomb bag and everything in it as a
token of my appreciation.
So... Be seeing ya!
ZORA
Ah!
You've come at the request of the shop owner, haven't you?
Well, I'm in her employ...part-time, for now. I'm sorry we've troubled you so.
You see... These rocks are blocking the natural flow of the river.
All you need to do is use your bomb arrows to destroy the blockage!
You did it! Thank you!
Ahh... And the water has already begun to flow.
Then I shall guide you to the mouth of the river. Follow me!
Good job out there!
You have truly done us a great service. Now the shop can finally reopen!
When we were closed, my boss's temper only got worse and worse... It was a
rough time for us all...
Oh, and another thing...
I don't suppose she promised you anything special for doing this, did she? Just
that bomb bag, right?
Yes, she tends to bribe people with whatever's lying around... So stingy,
really...
It's all right. I'll let her know you kept it when I get back.
Now, if you'll excuse me... Come visit at the shop sometime!
IZA
Hey, welcome!
Thanks to you, we're back in business!
Well, we can't offer much, but just make yourself at home!
And, of course, if you want a boat ride, just let me know! I'd be happy to rent
you one!
For a rental fee of 20 Rupees you can get a boat and a guide! You want one?
(Rent me one.)
OK! Now hop in!
You all set? Have a good ride!
(Tell me about it.)
If you hop on a boat here, you can ride down all the way to Lake Hylia!
And feel free to blow up any one of the targets posted around with your bomb
arrows, OK? The targets look kind of like jars...
Green targets are worth 1 point, red ones are worth 2. If the boat hits
anything, you lose 1 point. Get at least 25 points for a prize!
So what do you say? Want to try it out for 20 Rupees?
(No, thanks.)
Oh, OK.
Well... Be seeing ya, then.
ZORA
Thanks for your patronage!
On this trip downriver, you scored (X) points destroying targets!
[If you lose]
Oh, that's too bad... If you had gotten at least 25 points, I'd have given you
a lovely prize.
...Want to go again? It's just 20 Rupees.
(No)
Next time, try to get a prize!
Come again anytime!
(Yes)
Thank you very much! Now, time to go back upstream!
IZA
You're back? Remember, you lose 1 point whenever you hit a wall! Well, good
luck!
And have a nice trip!
[If you win]
ZORA
Congratulations! As the first costumer to score at least 25 points, you receive
this prize!
Come again anytime!

This attraction is all about popping balloons as you move toward the goal! It's
stupendous!
The balloons are worth different amounts of points: Watermelon=1 Orange=3
Strawberry=10
Oh, and if you break the same type of balloon twice in a row, you get double
the points! But only up to 10 times...
If you hit a wall and fall off, then you get NO point! That's right, 0 points
for you! Press B to start over from the beginning.
You know you get something neat if you get over 10,000 points, right? ...Not
that you ever will!
Well, the game starts as soon as you fly into the air. Yeah!
[If you fall during the game]
That was so...lame!
[If you press B]
Hey! What's the matter?
(Continue)
(Star over)
(Quit)
[If you score a low amount of points]
How...weak!
(X) points... I mean, really... Are you even trying?!
[If you fall just short of 10,000]
Hmmm! (X) points...
Really, you haven't shown me anything too amazing yet! Nope!
So... Wanna go again?
(No)
Ah, I forgot!
(Yes)
[If you score over 10,000]
What?! No way! (X) points?!
You got more than 10,000 points... Wow. Here, take this.
But... Don't think I'm giving you this because I like you or anything!
So you're completely hooked now, aren't you? You NEED to go again to try to
beat the high score, don't you?
(Yes)
(No)
Ah, I forgot!
Hmmm... (X) points...
Booooooooooooooooooooooo... That's nowhere near my personal best!
Well... Uhh, great... A new record!
Look, whatever. Just try harder next time...

Heh heh... Yes, MANY thanks.

Dare you try it?
(I'll do it.)
(No, thanks.)
Stop the show! Good sir! You're not through yet...but you wish to end the STAR
game nonetheless?
(Yes)
Oh, what a misery-torn day this is! You didn't care for it, good sir?
If you wish to play, return anytime!
Heh heh he... Yes, MANY thanks.
(No)
So all you must endeavor to do is Track down all the glowing orbs And collect
them all before time Runs out!

WRONG! It's ME that he wants to talk to!
PURLO
Ah ha HA! Ill luck, good sir!
What think you, good sir? The road to superstardom is rather wiggly, no?
...What are you looking at me like that for? If you want revenge, it's a mere
15 Rupees!
(I'll do it.)
(No, thanks.)
Good sir!
Care to play a STAR-game revenge match for a mere 15 Rupees?!
(I'll do it.)
(No, thanks.)
What the--? You did it...?
Oh, what a magnificent day this is! The debut of a superstar! Let huzzahs and
accolades ring forth!
To the superstar...I shall give THIS!
Congratulations! Yes, well and truly! You've claimed what you sought, so you're
likely all through, hm?
Many thanks for playing, good sir!
Don't come again...
Ugh! You again?!
Oh, how fine a day this is! It's you! How ARE you, good sir?
I hesitate to ask, as I know full well of your superstar status...but would you
care to aim for even higher?
Yes, good sir, for a limited time, the STAR game will cost, er, well...20
Rupees!
(I'll do it.)
(No, thanks.)
Phew... Close shave.
Oh, hey, oh ho ho... How very unfortunate for us, good sir... Return anytime!

Appendix C
Hyrule Castle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right, that's the way. If you need help, just call me with (Up on D Pad).
As long as you're a good boy, I'll be happy to lend a hand!
If you want to get out of here, you be a good boy! You do exactly as I say!
Come on! Let's get out of here!
Ugh! That STENCH! Why are we lingering in such a nasty place?
Hmmm... The water's dropped... Oh, well.
Huh? I can't remember which way we were supposed to go...
Hey! Why don't you do a little looking yourself, you lazy wolf!
That was a soldier's spirit.
Maybe it's something from the other world? Eee hee!
There are lots of other spirits roaming about here, you know. Hone your senses
with (D Pad) to see them. They might know things...
When I see a spot to jump to, I'll tell you, so make sure you respond quickly
by pressing (Up on D Pad).
Phew... Finally made it to the top!
Look! We're almost outside. Why don't you try to find some footing we can use
to climb up?
What're you doing? C'mon! Let's go!
Go find the tallest tower, OK?
I'll introduce you to someone very interesting...
Eee hee! That wasn't the person I wanted you to meet, by the way...
Well, let's just try and get to the tower.
We're almost there, so quit yapping and get moving!
Quit wasting time! RUN!
Appendix C
Ordon Village
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You listening? Look for a sword and shield that'll suit me. Got it?
Sounds like there should be a shield at the house with the waterwheel. Sneak in
there and take it, will you?
Hey, come on, why don't you hurry up and grab that shield!
All right, so next we have to look for the sword!
Sounds like the sword that was supposed to be an offering to Hyrule was left on
top of the sofa...
The people around here are so nice! I think we can just take it!
What?! You came this far, so rather than chatting, why don't you go get that
sword?!
If you want to save the townspeople, you should return to the twilight!
The forest where you were transformed into what you are now... You know where
it is, right?
This is not a time for idle chitchat! Hurry up and get it done!
Appendix C
Faron Woods
~~~~~~~~~~~
So... Where could that pitiful light-stripped spirit be?
This time, try fighting with a little strategy! Don't leave one to bring the
others back!
Press and hold B and I'll put up a dark energy field... You trap all of these
guys inside of it and then release the button!
Hey, remember that spirit... I bet it has some good news for you!
All you have to do is find the dark insects and reclaim all the Tears of Light,
right?
Use 1 and 2 to check your map and find the locations of the bugs. It's so
simple!
Now just use your senses and attack! Hurry!
If you don't help the light spirits, this world will forever be covered in
twilight as it is now.
You'd better fill the Vessel of Light with all of the tears or there's no
telling what will happen... Eee hee!
Don't you think heading to the temple deep within Faron Woods sounds like a
good idea?
I mean, the thing I'm looking for is there, so maybe you'll find your friends
there as well!
Hmm... Even with the light back, this place kind of looks the same.
But hey, what about your lantern? Remember what the oil seller said?
Don't be stingy! It's better to burn oil than wander in dark fog!
Hey, don't lose sight of that monkey!
Now that you don't have your lantern, you kind of have to follow her, right?
Appendix C
Forest Temple
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's so dark and dreary in here...
Don't go running out of lantern oil just when you need it most! I don't want to
take care of a lost little boy who's afraid of the dark!
If you want to know about this place, you might be better off asking a monkey,
not me.
Hey... She doesn't speak because you're a human! How inconvenient... Eee hee!
I was wondering why she was being so nice. Now I know that she just wanted you
to help her friends...
I don't like it, but we need her help too, so I guess we have to...
Based on his size, he looks like the boss monkey...but those other ones were
friendly. He looks pretty hostile!
We're on a very important mission here, so knock down anything that gets in
your way!
Hey! If you have time to talk, hurry up and take that guy down!
Well, that annoying monkey isn't here anymore, so let's take our time poking
around the temple.
If there are still some captured monkeys, shouldn't you help them all while
you're at it?
Once you've saved them all, we'll see what you get for your troubles!
Now all we have to do is find what we're looking for. Hurry!
To think that there was a monster lurking deep inside the temple...
These things will gobble up a little guy like you in one bite! If you don't
want that to happen, you'd better keep your guard up!
Eee hee! One more!
It...didn't like that...
I don't think it will be as easy this time around. Don't get eaten!
Hey, that guy... Isn't that the boss monkey?!
He brought an exploding bug! Maybe he's trying to help?
I think we have a chance...
That monkey's a good guy! Use his help and destroy this thing!
Appendix C
Eldin Province
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two more Fused Shadows... Let's get a move on and find them both!
Hurry, let's head to the Eldin Province to the west!
All right... I wonder where the spirit Eldin could be?
If the bridge being gone is the handiwork of shadow creatures, then they likely
left it somewhere.
Was there any place that stuck in your memory? Look for somewhere that grabs
you!
Enough already. Quiet down and look for the light spirit Eldin...
What's this? This village is really muggy, huh?
Hey... The light spirit is waiting for you.
Hurry up and listen to what it has to say!
If you don't help the spirit, we won't have a chance of finding that Fused
Shadow.
Hey, don't think I care for a second about your world of light... I don't! I'm
helping you because I have to! You remember that!
Maybe if you light the candles, you'll find the basement entrance... Don't you
think? This sanctuary is old, but it sure is extravagant!
The dark power is in the sacred land of the proud mountain people. ...At least,
I THINK that's what the spirit said.
The place you need to go... You know where it is, right?
Sounds like a Fused Shadow is somewhere up that mountain...so all we can do is
climb!
I don't know what that Goron's problem is, but you'd better come up with a way
to get up that mountain...and quick!
What's wrong? I was so impressed with how nicely you jumped up there, and then
you had to go and ruin it by falling down!
If you want to overcome a wild beast, watch its movements and match with
(analog stick), then press A at the right time to subdue it.
That's my advice for learning how to master a wolf that just won't listen...
Eee hee!
...WHAT?! What are you talking to me for? You have to help that kid!
Ugh... Look, hurry up so you can get back to finding more Fused Shadows for me!
All right. The second Fused Shadow must be somewhere here on Death Mountain.
This is just one big pile of rocks. I don't know where we'll find it, so we'll
just have to do a thorough search!
That HAS to be the treasure that the spirits entrusted to the Gorons...
What in the world are you doing?! Hurry up and find the Goron mines!
Appendix C
Goron Mines
~~~~~~~~~~~
Is this a mine or a volcano? You mean to tell me the Gorons come in and out of
this place like it's no big deal?
You're just a measly human! If you fall into that lava, that's the end of it,
so be careful!
That's weird. This place is pretty cool. Good place to take a bath?
To get the object I'm after, we're going to need to collect all the key shards
the Goron elders have.
We have to hurry and find the other two!
Well, if it isn't another decrepit Goron. Must be another of their so-called
elders, huh?
Looks like this guy is the guard... Sounds like he's mistaken you for an
intruder, and I doubt he'll listen to reason. You'll have to fight him.
Whoa! Look at how the floor tilts! Talk about unstable. You'd better stick
yourself to it so you don't fall off!
Wow! He's a tenacious guy... He's lucky he's a Goron. Otherwise he wouldn't be
getting back up here after falling into the lava!
Just keep tossing him into the lava until he quits getting back up!
Well, looks like you made out all right by coming here. You get to keep some
treasure of an ancient hero!
We've come all this way, so why not take it? It might even make you seem a
little more heroic... Eee hee hee!
There's still one Goron elder with a key shard... We have to get it as quickly
as possible!
So this is where he was waiting, huh? Well, let's get that last key.
Yes! We collected all the key shards! Let's hurry to the room the Goron elders
sealed off!
Hey! How exactly do you plan to fight the monsters in here without a shield?
You perishing in a place like this isn't going to do my any favors, so why
don't you equip yourself properly before you regret it.
As soon as he collapses, you've got to go for his crystal eye!
Defeating something that big and burly isn't going to be easy.
There you go! Keep doing that and then keep attacking that eye on his forehead!
Appendix C
Lanayru Province
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The person you're looking for is in Lanayru Province, right? Well, good for
you.
Head to the twilight that has fallen north of Kakariko Village.
The Fused Shadow should be there too, so don't forget!
There should be a spirit whose light was stolen somewhere in this land, too...
You know what to do, right? First we need to find the spirit or we won't be
able to return the light to this land!
[Try to warp]
Give it up! If you were to go somewhere else now, you wouldn't be able to warp
back here!
If you want to warp from here, you have to find a portal in this area first!
They said we can't get to the spirit's spring... What's that supposed to mean?
Well, if there's a spirit in Lake Hylia, then we need to go there.
What're you doing? Run now or the fire will get you!
What's going on around here?! I don't understand...
I think the spirit's spring should be around here somewhere. Let's look around
some more...
So that must mean that we can't get to the spirit's spring because Lake Hylia's
dried up, right?
Hmm... First, we'd better do something about Lake Hylia...
Oh no... Do I have to hold your hand through this?
Ugh! Another pest!
I guess he felt like he needed to call a friend!
When it comes close to earth, jump on it and try to pull it down!
Amazing... There isn't even a drop of water in the river...
We should reach the water source if we stay on this path, right? Right. So
let's hurry!
Who'd have thought that Zora's Domain was covered in ice...
Oh no... I can't believe what we've gotten ourselves into.
Now that we've seen it, it's not like we can ignore what's happening in Zora's
Domain.
Unless we can melt the ice, the water will never be restored to Lake Hylia.
We have to think of a way to melt the ice...
We took the long route, but it's almost time to meet the spirit...
All right, hurry! Let's go meet the spirit of Lake Hylia!
The Lanayru province is vast, so finding dark bugs in it is a task in itself...
Use a portal or that bird that you call near the reed whistles to get it done!
I think it's just a matter of time before light shines on the twilight in
Lanayru Province.
Hurry! Go get the last Tear of Light!
What?
What... What is that thing? I've never seen anything like it!
Ugh, I HATE creepy things like that! Do something, fast!
Hey! Hurry up and pick up the Tear of Light that it dropped!
All right... This is the real thing! Hurry up and find the last Fused Shadow!
I guess it's in the Lakebed Temple of Lake Hylia but...can you swim?
To get your hands on the last Fused Shadow, you have to dive to the bottom of
Lake Hylia.
Well then, why don't you save the prince of the Zoras just as the Zora queen
asked?
The Zoras are usually the protectors of Lakebed Temple, so I think they should
help us...
This guy again... What a pest...
I'm telling you, it's a waste, no matter how many times you battle him. Teach
him a lesson!
What's this guy's problem? Looks like he went and got a nice pair of matching
shields!
What an idiot... He's got his sides protected, but his front is completely
open.
Don't waste time going hand-to-hand with this guy. Use a projectile when the
time is right!
Take a good look at that guy and you should see a bunch of gaps in his armor.
Fire arrows into those spots!
This guy fights dirty, so there's no reason we can't fight dirty, too!
If you put on that armor the Zora queen gave you, you should be able to dive
even to the bottom of the lake with ease.
I know it's been a lot of trouble, but we've got the last Fused Shadow almost
in our grasp...
We're headed for the underwater temple in Lake Hylia...so make sure you're
prepared!
Getting that Zora armor was the right idea, huh?
It was a lot of work getting that armor and then getting here, so you'd better
do whatever it takes to get that last Fused Shadow!
Appendix C
Lakebed Temple
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This place is much nicer than those stuffy, hot Goron mines!
So, where could that Fused Shadow be? Hurry up and find it!
If you knock those stalactites down, they'll probably make nice little
stepping-stones you can use.
If you combine your bombs with your arrows, you should be able to hit them
pretty easily, right?
Don't you remember? You got a letter from the guy at the bomb shop in
Kakariko...
This is one huge temple. Just trying to find a single key is gong to take a lot
of effort...
Just do me a favor and don't get lost!
Why did those Zoras think it was a good idea to build such a huge temple?!
It's a lot harder to look for stuff when you don't rely on a map...
Look, the water's moving all sorts of mechanisms down here! If we go back to
rooms we've already been through, things may have changed.
There's something spooky in the air...
Ughh... It's creepy...
I can't stand pimply things like this...
This one's all yours!
I told you this one's all yours! Stop calling me! That thing's gross!
Eww... That wasn't good for my appetite...
Hey! What do you suppose is in the treasure chest that thing spit up? It's
gross, but you should probably open it...
You know, I'd rather not linger in the den of something as gross as that thing
was...
Use that item you got to get us out of here.
If you forget the fact that it came out of that nasty creature's mouth, then
it's much easier to appreciate the treasure you just got.
You remember seeing those patterns in this temple that looked like targets? Why
don't you see if you can target them with (reticule)?
I'll bet if you keep pouring water into places that look like waterways, you'll
be able to open up closed passageways.
Keep looking for areas that look like water should be flowing through them.
We're so close to getting out of here... Look carefully at the map and check
the places you haven't visited yet.
Now, let's find a big locked door to use that key on!
I can't see a thing...
Look, the only thing we can do is dive down and have a look around, so hurry up
and do it!
Hey! Don't get too close to those tentacles!
If you get careless and get tangled up in its tentacles, you're in for a nasty
fate...
So, it's eyeball really is the key? Good! Keep aiming for that eye!
Don't let its size scare you!
Even if it's huge, it should still have a weak spot!
Did you see its back? It's got an eyeball there, too!
Just like you did last time. Target its eye with Z, get close, and attack using
your sword!
Keep it up! Get it!
If you get in front of it, it'll suck you in, so you've got to swim up
alongside it.
Appendix C
Journey to Gerudo Desert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...Link... H-Hurry...
Hurry...to...Zelda...
The Master Sword is deep within Faron Woods, in the Sacred Grove.
Get that swords and let's undo the curse that Zant put on you!
Hey, it's that monkey again... Why don't we try to help her out?
Who knew that a place like this existed within Faron Woods...
Sounds like the wind... Do you hear something, Link?
These must be the things that were after the monkey... Could this all be the
work of that little guy with the horn?
I don't know my way around here too well, so try not to get lost.
Ugh! Quick little guy, isn't he?
But hey, he's not trying to run away at all, is he? He's...trying to lead us
somewhere!
Why, that little... He likes to joke around, huh?
Let's get him while he's entranced by that horn!
I don't even know where the Mirror of Twilight is...
But we might find a clue in the bustle of Castle Town...
Link! Pay attention!
A cursed mirror that sends people to another realm... That sounds like the
Mirror of Twilight.
Link, hurry.
It feels creepy... Link, be careful.
So that big monster with the horns built a base in a place like this?!
This place looks like it'll be crawling with enemies, so be careful, OK?
Looks like you're trapped...
Who knows what's around here, so don't let your guard down...
Not this guy again!
Hmph! Let's teach him that flailing a giant axe around is NEVER a good idea!
If we want to get out of here, the only thing we can do is break down the gate!
Look! That boar looks strong enough to do the job!
Appendix C
Arbiter's Grounds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sand in here looks really dangerous... Be careful, and don't lose your
footing.
I have a bad feeling about this... Let's hurry up and finish him off.
Ohh... I get it! You can't see him with your human vision.
In that case, why not use your beast sense?
We have to search for the three ghosts that fled...
But we'd get destroyed just looking around randomly... You don't suppose
there's any clue as to their whereabouts, do you?
Let's use the scent of those three ghosts that fled to track them down!
Two more ghosts left for us to catch...
Be careful, and make sure you don't get lost trying to figure out which scent
you're chasing.
Good. We're down to one ghost... Just follow that last scent trail!
We've finally reached the finale...or something like that.
I have no idea what lies ahead... Gather your wits and let's go!
Use your senses to find enemies you can't see with your eyes!
You can't do anything about an enemy circling in the air while you're in beast
form!
This thing just depresses me... Get him down here and introduce him to your
blade!
You're going to have to use both your wolf powers and your human skills!
Link, hurry! Now's your chance!
This thing uses the flowing sands to protect itself. What a creep...
Give it to him with that little spinner of yours, Link!
Take a good look...
He may be ridiculously huge, but there's only one bone that's holding him up...
If we could just destroy that one support...
...Is he...dead? Somehow, I don't feel very relieved by this...
Yikes! I guess that wasn't the end of it! Staying down here is just going to
make it easier for him to do away with you, Link!
Ride the rail on the wall to climb up top!
Yeah... You can't attack while you're riding the rail...
If things look dangerous, jump across to the rail on the opposite wall!
Keep doing that until he gets close, then do it again to ram into him!
Appendix C
Snowpeak Mountain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mirror shards lie in deep mountain snows, within an ancient wood, and
somewhere in the sky...
Hurry up and collect all the shards so we can return the mirror to its original
state!
The reekfish that the beast of Snowpeak took...
Maybe if we took a look at it, it'd give us a clue...
If we follow the scent, we may be able to get through the snow!
We don't have any other option right now... We'll just have to give it a try!
It looks as though this is the summit.
Hey... Hey! A giant white beast holding a red fish...
At least your efforts yielded something... Who would have thought the yeti
would have one of the mirror shards?
All right! Let's hurry to the yeti's house!
Appendix C
Snowpeak Ruins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The mirror in Snowpeak Ruins... I'll bet it's a shard of the Mirror of
Twilight.
It's a huge mansion, so it'll be hard...but let's find that shard and take it
back!
I was a little worried about how we were going to find the shard, given how big
this place is... This map will definitely come in handy!
Let's go to the room that she marked and get that key!
Borrowing the key is our only chance to get into that bedroom...
Let's ask again where the key is, OK?
The wife doesn't seem very confident, but I think maybe it'll work out this
time.
Well... I guess all we can do is go back to that room that they told us about.
Hmm... I have a bad feeling here... Be careful, Link...
Doesn't he know how dangerous that is, swinging a big metal ball around in such
a small place?!
It's too dangerous to get close to him, so let's use the ceiling to get over to
his other side!
That's the way! Go for him after he throws that ball!
Food AGAIN?! Give me a break...
Unfortunately, our only option is getting that girl to remember. Ugh... Let's
go ask her again.
Ugh... Give me a break... The wife better remember where the key is this
time...
I hope we get it right this time... Just go to the spot on the map!
Finally! We have the key! Now, let's go get that mirror shard from the bedroom!
And she seemed so quiet, too... I guess that's the power of the Mirror of
Twilight...
Let's get her out of that ice-covered shell and release her from the spell!
Let's help her out! We need to break more ice each time!
Don't get distracted by the columns of ice that keep falling...
Avoid the falling ice columns and aim for the last big one that falls!
That's the way! Watch the ice columns as they're reflected in the floor and
break the biggest one!
Appendix C
Temple of Time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are two mirror shards left! There should be one hidden in an ancient wood
and another somewhere in the sky.
Hurry up and collect the last two shards so we can return the mirror to its
original state!
This is an oddly organized and quiet place...but it still has an ominous feel
to it.
I can't stop thinking about that statue... Let's go find a matching one, OK?
Let's see if we can find another statue to match that one.
I have no idea what to do against these knight things!
Just try using the sword techniques you know, Link!
The only thing to do is try all your sword techniques on it until you find one
that works!
Don't worry! You have what it takes to beat him, Link!
The place we need to bring this statue... You know where it is, right?
The statue belongs in the place we saw before... You know, where the similar
statue was.
Now let's hurry up and find that piece of the mirror so we can leave this weird
place behind!
That is one big spider...
And it's even got a big nasty eye on its back... If that thing cast its gaze on
you, you'd be helpless...
Your best shot is going to be after you've knocked it down!
If you don't hurry up and attack it, it'll crawl back up to the ceiling!
What a handy little spider-crusher!
Go on! Just whack away!
It sure is a persistent bug... Even if it is just its eye, it's still alive...
But now that its armored shell is gone, you should be able to finish it off
with your blade!
Appendix C
City in the Sky
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There's one more mirror shard to find... Somehow, we have to get to the sky...
Doesn't someone know the spell that will restore power to the Dominion Rod?
Hey, wasn't there a guy who knew a lot about the people of the sky in the bar
in Castle Town?
You could always ask again, you know?
Apparently that girl is holding the key to the sky...
Link, we have to help her get her memory back!
I can't read any book written in Sky letters...
Well, I guess you just have to ask that guy to read it for you.
I get the feeling that little by little, we're getting closer to the sky...
Let's do what we can for now, Link.
All right! Up to the sky to find that last mirror shard!
Zant hid that mirror shard in a pretty good spot...
Whoever would have thought there was a place like this above Hyrule?
If you see an Oocca wandering by, maybe you could try using it to help you get
around.
...Because I'm pretty sure they're trying to help you, Link.
Take a good look around this room. Do you see anything suspicious?
Take a good look at his shield!
When he holds it up, that's your chance!
When he's holding his shield up, your arrows will just bounce off...but that's
exactly the chance you need!
If your timing is right, you could use it to pull him down.
You wore yourself out beating that thing! Let's grab the treasure and get out
of this place.
We should try climbing to all of the places we couldn't reach before with one
of your gadgets!
Take a good look around you...
Hey, it's that overgrown bird again. Maybe it's lonely because it can't fly
down here...
Isn't there some spot where we can latch on to it? Then we could pull it down
to us!
That thing's not going to come down if we just sit here waiting for it...
You won't have anywhere to run to, but you should try and get close and pull it
down again.
You saw its back, didn't you? I bet that's its weak spot!
We need to find a way to get up on its back.
That's it, keep attacking its weak spot!
If you don't stay sharp, that fire will engulf you!

UNNNYARA MUNNYARA HANYARA PINYARA...
EEEEEEEEEK!
Hrrph hrrph hrrph! Long, long ago I predicted that you would come, my brother.
Tell me, my brother, did you not see a young Goron in trouble in Castle Town?
I would go to his aid in a moment, but with that bridge still needing repairs,
it is impossible...
Perhaps his fortunes will turn, for it looks like the Malo Mart is raising
money to repair the bridge. This is a fine thing, my brother.
Perhaps you might consider a contribution to their fund-raising to help me and
mine?
The Malo Mart here is raising funds to repair the bridge, my brother.
Perhaps you could make a donation to assist?
MALO
I heard there's a lot of price gouging going on in the shops of Hyrule Castle
Town. People are pretty upset, I hear.
I loathe people who take advantage of the poor, unwashed masses. Give to my
Castle Town shop fun so I can finance a shop there!
This is all going to the good of the people in Castle Town. Honest. Come on,
help me finance a new shop there...
GOR EBIZO
Welllllcome...to Malo Mart!
I have heard from a reliable source that shops in Hyrule Castle Town are
gouging prices, crushing folks under the thumb of commerce!
Well, fear not, Brudda, for Malo Mart has proposed a townspeople relief plan as
an answer to the lamentations of the common man!
Phase One: Repair the broken bridge leading from west Castle Town to the field
in order to improve traffic!
Phase Two: Buy that Castle Town shop and sell products to the town at reduced
prices! You have heard me right, Brudda!
There is a problem, however... The finances for the execution of this glorious
plan are...lacking!
Please, Brudda! Offer some financial support to aid in the purchase of the
Castle Town shop! For the benefit of the people!
We are (X) Rupees short of funding for the bridge repairs... We need that
bridge for a steady flow of goods to Castle Town...
We MUST bring the cost of goods down in Castle Town, Brudda! Could you please
help support this worthy cause?
(No)
We look forward to your future contributions, Brudda!
(Yes)
Thank You for Your Donations
Malo Mark Management
We have only (X) Rupees left to raise before we reach our goal for the bridge-
repair fund! Thank you for your support, Brudda!
Glorious day! We have collected enough funds to finance repairs to the bridge
connecting west Castle Town to Hyrule Field, Brudda!
MALO
Those corrupt, prince-gouging shops in Castle Town are officially on notice!
Soon they will rue!
GOR EBIZO
We hope you will continue your financial support of our efforts to sell
products in the town at discounted prices, Brudda!
We now have only (X) Rupees left before we reach our goal for financing a store
in Castle Town, Brudda!
Please help us bring relief to the people of Castle Town who are suffering
under the weight of an inflated cost of living, Brudda!
(Yes)
We have only (X) Rupees left! Thank you for your cooperation, Brudda!
(No)
We look forward to your future contributions, Brudda!
SPRINGWATER VENDER GORON (standing just beyond western Castle Town bridge)
Ahhhhhhhhhhh... I do not feel like doing a thing...
Now the bridge is fixed, but my body feels terrible. I just cannot go look for
stuff to sell...
You know, all I really need is to shower myself with some piping hot
springwater to get back to feeling normal...
Ahhhhhhhhhhh... I do not feel like doing a thing...
Ahhhh... At times like these, I wish I could douse myself with piping hot
springwater...
GOR LIGGS (After bridge is fixed)
You...made a donation, did you not? I am farsighted in all things, my brother!
But it is strange... Even though they say the bridge has been repaired, my
young one in Castle Town fails to return...
I am sure he is hanging his head somewhere around the west gate right at this
moment.
Here is the plan, my brother: I will prepare some hot springwater, and you will
douse that young one to revitalize him.
What do you say? Will you do it?
(No)
Hrrph... It is a hard world, my brother...
We Gorons have a strong sense of duty, so I am sure there will be something
good to come of it at a later time...
Hrrph. It is you, my brother.
Here is the plan, my brother: I will prepare some hot springwater, and you will
douse that young one to revitalize him.
What do you say? Will you do it?
(Yes)
Oh... I see! I am counting on you to make the run, my brother!
Hot springwater cools as time passes, so if you do not hurry, you will end up
with plain old cold water, my brother!
[If you fail]
Hrrph. It is you, my brother.
Hrrph hrrph hrrph! You failed, did you not? I am farsighted in all things, my
brother!
All right. I will prepare more hot springwater for you, and you will douse the
young one near Castle Town to revitalize him.
What do you say? Will you do it?
(Yes)
(No)
SPRINGWATER VENDER GORON
Say, is that some Kakariko hot springwater you have there, Brother?
If you poured it on me, I am sure it would restore my strength...
OHWAAAHHH!
I feel rejuvenated!! That smell, that heat... It is springwater from back home!
Well, I am going to get back to work and open up the shop!
GOR LIGGS
You really did me a favor the other day, my brother!
It seems my young one in Castle Town has been revitalized and has resumed his
business!
Life has returned to both this village and Castle Town! Hrrph hrrph hrrph!
YOUNG SPRINWATER GORON
Father is all better! He can work again!
Bathe in it to moisturize the skin! Drink it to restore health! Famous Goron
hot springwater, THIS WAY!
Ho! I remember you, Brother!
Thanks to you, we are now able to open up shop again!
I will give you a special price on hot springwater. How is 20 Rupees?
(Buy!)
Got it, Brother! I will provide you with some steaming hot water!
Oh, wait! You know you cannot carry hot springwater around with you without an
empty bottle.
(No, thanks.)
Really? Well, next time you need some, you know where to go, Brother!
GORON OUTSIDE CASTLE WALLS
Brother, you have the sweet smell of hot springwater...
If I took a drink of that, I would feel so strong, I could probably get rid of
these rocks!
Well, if you want to get through here, could you give me that hot springwater
you have there?
(Yes)
YESSSSSSSSSSSS! Goron power, GOOO!
Well, I am going to get working on this, so you should come back in a little
while!
(No)
Oh, well, if you do not care, then I do not either...
Hey! Look, Brother... The way is now clear, just as I promised!
I do not know where you are headed, but be careful!
Now, you stay strong, Brother!
GOR EBIZO
Thanks to all, the bridge is built, the trade route is secure, and we saved
money for the economic development of Castle Town!
But in order to reach our Castle Town development goal, we still need 200
Rupees!
Please help us bring relief to the people of Castle Town who are suffering
under the weight of an inflated cost of living, Brudda!
Glorious day! We achieved our goal, Brudda!
MALO
Today marks the day that another legendary establishment is born! You should
travel to Castle Town later...
GOR EBIZO
Thank you for your cooperation, Brudda!
GOR EBIZO
Wellllllllcome to the Malo Mart Flagship Store, Brudda!
We are currently holding a GRAND OPENING SALE at our brand-new store in Hyrule
Castle Town! COME ONE! COME ALL!

PRINCESS AGITHA
...Oh, boy! I thought you were a giant grasshopper!
But you're not a bug! You're a person! Still, you're wearing those clothes, so
that tells me you like bugs too!
Oh, boy, I forgot the formalities! You have an audience with the princess of
the bug kingdom. Agitha is my name!
I've invited the 24 golden bugs of the world to the ball, but...
I don't know if they got lost on the way or what...but they're not here, that's
for sure.
If you see them, would you please bring them here to Agitha's Castle?
And tell them the princess awaits!
Oh, boy, if you have a bug with you now, please give it to me. The ball must
begin!
[If you try to leave]
I know you have bugs...
Have you brought a bug for Princess Agitha's ball?
(No)
Sniff sniff... I sense it! The distinct pheromones of golden bugs on you!
(Yes)
Oh, oh, oh boy! Who's your friend? You're a li'l (gender) (bug)! Aren't you,
you li'l cutie?!
...You actually went bug hunting for me, didn't you?
To be honest, I doubted you would... I guess some might consider me a poor-
mannered princess...
From now on, if you bring me insects, I'll share my happiness with you. You can
keep it in this!
I wonder if there's a partner for li'l (gender) (bug) somewhere close by where
you found this one?
If any bug becomes part of a pair, I think I'll be able to share GREAT
happiness with you!
Li'l butterfly, li'l butterfly, I want to be wrapped up in that powder, too...
Oh, boy, thank you so much! I'm so happy!
Allow me to share this happiness with you!
Li'l pill bug, li'l pill bug, I wish I was smaller so I could roll you around
like a ball...
Li'l grasshopper, li'l grasshopper, I'd love to tickle your belly all day
long...
Li'l ladybug, li'l ladybug, if I was smaller, I would get on your back and we'd
fly around...
Li'l ant, li'l ant, I might mistake you for a grain and put you in my cereal...
Li'l mantis, li'l mantis, if I had sickles like that, I could slice onions
better...
Li'l phasmid, li'l phasmid, I want to tie your long antennae into bows...
Li'l dayfly, li'l dayfly, I want to take your colorful tail and make the
loveliest braid ever...
Li'l stag beetle, li'l stag beetle, your spiky pinchers are so sharp! They must
feel so good...
Li'l beetle, li'l beetle, I want to use that shiny shell as a pillow and fall
asleep...
Li'l snail, li'l snail, just once I'd like to take a bath in that slime...
Li'l dragonfly, li'l dragonfly, when you look at me with those great big eyes,
I...
Oh, yes! We have a pair! Don't those li'l bugs look happy?!
Allow me to share this happiness with you!
(X) bugs left until I have them all... Oh, I hope that you'll keep bringing
them here! You will, right?
Oh, boy, thank you so much! I'm so happy!
Allow me to share this happiness with you!
(X) bugs left until I have them all... If you don't mind my asking, could you
find a partner for any single bug at the ball?
At the moment, I have (X) bugs here at Agitha's Castle, ready for the ball.
(X) bugs left until I have them all... If you don't mind me asking, could you
find a partner for any single bug at the ball?
[If you collect all of the bugs]
Oh! This means all the bugs have made it to the ball safely!
Hee hee hee... And everyone has a partner. They all look so happy...
You worked very hard. Your efforts will forever be passed down in the insect
kingdom, brave knight.
Please accept this declaration of honorable citizenship and the memento that
goes along with it.
If you ever feel like talking to the bugs again, you know where to go!
Oh, boy, am I happy! I'm surrounded by bugs!
Here, listen... Can you hear the happy calls of the bugs?
[If you meet her in the field south of Hyrule Castle Town]
As of now, I have (X) bugs left at my castle.
We only need (X) bugs more until all of them are here... Please do your best to
find partners for the ones that are not already paired up!

3: Jovani's Greed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
JOVANI
Doggie... Look... I still can't move.
I NEED TO MOVE! Quick, you have to bring me the remaining ghost souls! I still
need (X) ghosts more!
You did it! I can move again! This is all thanks to you, right?
Oh, I have to ask you... Will this do?
Ah ha ha ha! I hear you can get this stuff in the cave on the eastern edge of
the Gerudo Desert, too!
But...my body is still golden... Does this mean my soul is still not whole?
That's strange... Maybe we need the souls of 60 ghosts...
Can I ask another favor of you, doggie? Can you defeat more ghosts? Just (X)
ghosts more...
I can't see my girlfriend looking like this...
Doggie, please... Defeat just (X) ghosts more!
GENGLE
Say, you're the one who fixed my master up, right? I owe you!
My name's Gengle. I'm the leader of the cats outside.
Well, well... Now that I can move, maybe I should go outside and breathe some
fresh air...
Thanks for all your help!
All this money... What are we going to do with it?
JOVANI
You did it! Look at me! I'm back to my old self again!
Thanks to you, everything in my life is coming up roses! Ha ha HA!
Oh, of course, I need to thank you... Please accept this...
All right! I need to let my girlfriend know that I'm back!
I wonder what her expression will be when she sees I'm back?!
LARGE BLACK AND WHITE CAT
Yeah, normally Jovani would be leaping out of there.
I'm also relieved that Gengle is doing well.
Haaaaah... So sleepy...
SMALL BROWN AND WHITE CAT
Jovani... Where'd he go, Meow?
BLACK CAT #1
Don't you think that humans who pick us up and carry us around are annoying?!
ORANGE CAT
So Gengle is safe?! I'm so glad!
JOVANI
Wahhh... Wah wahhh...
I hadn't seen her in a while, and she'd started dating another man...
Wahhh... Ahh wahhhh... Ohh...
GENGLE
Oh, it's you.
I see... So my master got dumped, huh?
Well, I guess it goes to show that for humans, it's all about money.
I guess that means we don't need any more money...so you can take it all.
What? Come again if you run out of money.

/\ Appendix F Storyline FAQ
/ \~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/ \ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/______\ Twilight Princess is a confusing game. Barring an intimate
/ \ / \ knowledge with the series, and perhaps an accidental overdose
/ \ / \ on LSD, its subtleties are a difficult thing to grasp. I have
/ \/ \ seen the deepest Zelda cognoscenti throw their hands up in
-------------- the air and disavow the existence of one Zelda timeline. After
finishing the game, all of my suppositions and thoughts about the Zelda series
had been rebuffed. I licked my wounds, dissonantly scornful that Aonuma had
lied and that he cared as much about clearing up the timeline as a fat person
cares about leaning up after New Year's. They clog the gyms, but their actions
lie.
However, under a certain light, Aonuma might actually be a sort of mad hatter.
The magic marker makes the opaque become visible. It's important to delve into
Twilight Princess and extrapolate exactly what the creators are telling us.
Through a bizarre amalgamation of creator quotes, dialogue readings, enough
thought to give me a brain aneurysm, potent diligence, and perhaps some
alchemy, I have done a role reversal and have reached my own conclusions, not
all of which stand on a firm foundation, not all of which I believe, yet most
of which are founded on factual information within the series. If you're
looking for cold, hard facts, they are few and far between. We are delving into
the realm of the mysterious. This might anger and confuse fans more privy to
the provable, but I think once we dig to a subterranean level, we'll find what
Aonuma might have truly meant. This makes for some interesting debates and
discussions without resorting to stupid guesses and melodramatic assumptions.
Those discussions are something totally unique to the Zelda series, as if it
didn't have enough unique about it already.
Q: When does Twilight Princess take place in the timeline?
A: Twilight Princess's biggest motif, its mystery and allure, is also a
condition that nullifies its relationship to the rest of the series in the
practical way that Wind Waker did it. Wind Waker set up a bubble in which all
of its connections were outlined and cultivated and editorialized in textual
form. This might lead many to believe that it is Wind Waker that has the
stronger pulse on Ocarina of Time while Twilight Princess is aloft in the ether
somewhere, vaguely connected to its ancestors but having no real relationship
to them. However, length is not the same as depth. Uwe Boll might keep
directing movies, but one film from Christopher Nolan or Martin Scorsese is far
more insightful and characteristically human than any blunt object that Mr.
Boll might produce. That's not to shoehorn either game into one category or the
other, it's simply that we need to detach length from depth so that they can
coexist habitually while at the same time being mutually exclusive.
The one fact we do know is that Aonuma said in the January issue of Nintendo
Power that it happens roughly a hundred years after Ocarina of Time. This
becomes clear when it speaks of Ganon and his lust to dominate the Sacred
Realm. But as the story enfolds, we do not see Ganon as the Prince of Darkness,
the petulant evil that stole the Triforce and was locked in the Sacred Realm.
We see him tied to a slab of stone awaiting execution. This moment is
mimeographed in our eyes, the moment everything we thought we knew about
Princess's connection to Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker were permanently
disbanded.
The single timeline was something I heavily championed before the advent of
Princess. From what I have understood, there are two major components, two
theories that are a part of the single timeline. The first states that the
future is erased and the adult events never happened. However, without making
up unsubstantiated theories, it would render the adult portions and everything
dealing with Ganon's sealing and the ending meaningless, so what was the point
of doing it in the first place? Wind Waker also speaks heavily of the adult
timeline, and in an interview I will address later, Aonuma seems to contradict
this theory. The second theory states that both the adult ending and the child
events with Majora's Mask thread along the same continuum, but the ending of
Ocarina of Time where Ganon is banished to the Sacred Realm seems to contradict
Princess where he is banished to the Twilight Realm. There is also no
substantial proof in the game that the adult ending happened or that Link
wielded the Master Sword, the prior voracity attributed to the sages leaving
out the part where Ganon acquired the Triforce and took over the Sacred Realm
and the latter when Zelda told you that the ancient sages crafted the sword
with no mention of a hero wielding it, and there is certainly no attempt made
within the game to bridge the adult ending with Princess. So how do we remedy
these facts?
The split timeline. The split timeline is a theory that has been gaining steam
since Wind Waker, and it appears to have been reaffirmed with Twilight
Princess. After Link departs Hyrule at the behest of Zelda upon Ganon's
sealing, he returns to his original time seven years prior. Keeping the details
light so to allow room for personal interpretation, Link's foreknowledge of
Ganon's lust for the Sacred Realm leaves the king of thieves open for attack.
The sages subdue him and bring him to justice. However, upon his execution,
when the threat appears to be at bay, Ganon is blessed with the power of the
chosen ones. Now containing the power to conquer even death, the sages seal
Ganon in the Twilight Realm out of desperation. This eventually leads to
Majora's Mask, and ultimately after Link's death, Twilight Princess.
It is not completely airtight, but I believe it is the least likely to take on
water and sink. If you believe in a single timeline, you'd have the task of
explaining how Ganon transmigrated from the Sacred Realm to the Mirror Chamber
despite that act not making sense within the context of the story and despite
absolutely no mention of it in the game. These games were created by people,
people with specific intentions. Everything they put into the game was done
with purpose. It's quite a logical leap to assume that they wouldn't mention a
single act of the adult timeline...in fact the sages just glazed right over
that part...even though they recounted many of Ganon's deeds. He seeks the
Sacred Realm, but he is captured. There is no room in there for stealing the
Triforce, being sealed away, and being released from that seal. This isn't
simply a matter of Princess being obtuse with the game's relationship to the
rest of the series like say a Four Swords Adventure. This is specific
information left out for a reason. What, the game didn't say it happened so
we're then supposed to assume it happened? Or we accept it happened just like
the game said it happened?
This is only how Twilight Princess relates to the past, however, and not how it
relates to the future, in particular Wind Waker. At E3 2005 Aonuma said that
Twilight Princess is sandwiched between Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker.
However, inference from other interviews lets us know that they had not decided
on the ending of the game at that point. Because of other words of Aonuma, I am
led to believe that Wind Waker happens in the adult timeline:
There's also a more complicated explanation. If you think back to
the end of The Ocarina of Time, there were two endings to that
game in different time periods. First Link defeated Ganon as an
adult, and then he actually went back to being a child. You could
say that The Wind Waker takes place 100 years after the ending in
which Link was an adult.
Some have tried to prove that he's not talking about a split timeline, that
he's actually talking about where the launching point is for the hundred years,
but I believe that the words "century" and "centuries" are easily confused in
the Japanese, and based on other interviews he did and in game evidence, it's
centuries, so specifying centuries after the adult timeline instead of
centuries after the child timeline is a lesson in irrelevance. This is not the
full context of Aonuma's answer either. Notice how he gives the complicated
explanation. In the previous paragraph, he truncated his explanation by simply
giving a number figure. If it ended there, there would be no need for a
complicated explanation. Instead he delves into the nuances. It is also likely
not a mistranslation as Game Pro has a very similar take on it with Miyamoto
corroborating what Aonuma said.
There is also other evidence. In Wind Waker, Link is specifically known as the
Hero of Time, and his deeds of sealing away Ganon are recounted over and over,
at least by those in the know. Those tales have survived the obscurity of time
and a flood, although to most of the fractured and frayed people living above
the ocean, they are as ignorant of the Hero of Time as they are the flood. It
is only the King and Ganon and the guardian deities who are aware of the past
events. However, a century later in Twilight Princess, Link is only known as an
ambiguous hero who did legendary things, but there is no tale of him sealing
Ganon away. There is one specific like that people point to in Wind Waker that
they claim refers to Majora's Mask...
Link, do you know the legend of the Hero of Time? Once long ago,
he defeated Ganon and brought peace to the Kingdom of Hyrule...
A piece of the Triforce was given to the Hero of Time and he kept
it safe, much as Zelda kept hers. That sacred piece is known as
the Triforce of Courage. When the Hero of Time was called to
embark on another journey and left the land of Hyrule, he was
separated from the elements that made him a hero. It is said that
at that time, the Triforce of Courage was split into eight shards
and hidden throughout the land.
...but it is an ambiguous line with few details. The King of Red Lions is
hardly omniscient, after all he didn't know why the seal on Ganon expired, so
to him the Hero of Time departing back in time would surely look like a
journey, and since the Triforce of Courage would have no holder, he would
surely be separated from it. And if you play the game through a second time
where the old Hylian language becomes discernable, you would know that the Deku
Tree and Jabun are awaiting the Hero of Time. And not just a reborn version.
The Deku Tree asks if the king has at long last found the Hero of Time, and
when it is not true, Jabun says that this new Link must prove his courage
again. This is important because it describes the Hero of Time appearing "as if
from nowhere" and then disappearing again. The game itself is built in such a
way that it is meant to keep the events surrounding the Hero of Time sort of
mysterious, but it seems to operate in the adult timeline very well.
But let's explore the possibility that Twilight Princess and Wind Waker happen
on the same continuity of a split timeline. Some have done this to shoehorn
Wind Waker away from the adult ending, which they say Link to the Past is born
from. Assuming that we trust what Princess tells us about Ganon, they would
both have to assume brotherhood on the child timeline. Because Wind Waker
doesn't use the word Sacred Realm by name, there's the possibility that the
realm Ganon was sealed in might have been the Twilight Realm. However, this
theory makes one fatal assumption: that the flooding happens sometime after
Twilight Princess. It's not fatal in its frailty, it's fatal in that the dam
could be irreparably blown up by one terrible maelstrom, in this instance a
sequel to Twilight Princess that doesn't explain the flooding, or even worse,
denies it altogether. Taken as a snapshot it's not the worst offender since
every timeline has an assumption, but given the in-game evidence I think it's
one that's more likely to be disproven. Evidence such as this:
But one day, a man of great evil found the golden power and took
it for himself. With its strength at his command, he spread
darkness across the kingdom. But then, when all hope had died,
and the hour of doom seemed at hand... a young boy clothed in
green appeared as if from nowhere. Wielding the blade of evil's
bane, he sealed the dark one away and gave the land light. This
boy, who traveled through time to save the land, was known as the
Hero of Time.
As opposed to:
He was the leader of a band of thieves who invaded Hyrule in the
hopes of establishing dominion over the Sacred Realm. He was
known as a demon thief, an evil-magic wielder renowned for his
ruthlessness... But he was blind... In all of his fury and might,
he was blind to any danger, and thus was exposed, subdued, and
brought to justice. Yet... By some divine prank, he, too, had
been blessed with the chosen power of the gods.
You could not have two more different accounts. The adult ending flows much
more convincingly into Wind Waker, which Aonuma corroborated for us. And if you
try to put each game on the adult timeline, you still run into the problem of
synthesizing the adult ending with Princess, taking away the split timeline's
biggest advantages, that is to avoid the single timeline's propensity for
jamming two unlike things together.
Then there's the possibility that the creators are not to be trusted and we
must come up with our own timeline. That is often why you'll see herky-jerky
theories such as Wind Waker at the end. However, Aonuma said Wind Waker
happened centuries after Ocarina of Time. The game itself seems to support
this. Therefore you're merely reinterpreting the game to mean something that it
doesn't really mean. The spirit of the game is important. The spirit of Wind
Waker is that the entire bloated timeline doesn't come between it and Ocarina
of Time. What are in-game facts except for creator intention? What do those
facts then become if the creator intention means nothing to us? Dust in the
wind. They are open to interpretation at will. You can open a hole in anything
and simply drop games or assumptions in there. It's almost an existential
worldview taken to anarchy.
Because of the prior reasons, it's my opinion that Twilight Princess is
approximately one hundred years after Ocarina of Time on the child timeline.
Feel free to disagree, but after carefully weighing the facts, this is the
conclusion that I have reached.
Q: Is the Hidden Village Kakariko from Ocarina of Time?
A: The sign above the Hidden Village reads Old Kakariko in Hylian, and Impaz
tells us that it was founded by her namesake. Some have concluded that it is
simply the hidden place Impa ushered Zelda to in Ocarina of Time, if such a
place exists, but I don't think Aonuma thought that deeply about it. I think he
wanted it to be Kakariko and left it at that. As the location of the Temple of
Time leads us to believe, not every place in the game can be fully synced with
Ocarina of Time. The newer Kakariko was designed to look like older Kakariko
for gameplay reasons. Still, my psychic abilities are rather stunted, so this
is simply a guess at what they were getting at. Either solution is fine, but I
find that with Nintendo, the less wordy explanations are usually the most
correct.
Q: So what about the Sheikah?
A: A dying tribe by the time of Ocarina due to the prolonged wars, Impaz, a
descendant of Impa, appears to be the last one that holds to the tradition of
the Sheikah, although Impaz herself is nothing more than a brittle old lady.
Q. Did Aonuma shoot speed into his eyeballs when he came up with the Oocca?
A: The only other sky creatures in the Zelda series are the Minish Caps's Wind
Tribe, but there appears to be no connection between the two. Shad tells us
that the gods created these wiry birds who in turn created the Hylians. It's
hard to imagine that the history of Hyrule could hinge on creatures that belong
in a turkey baster.
Q: What's the deal with the Temple of Time?
A: By the era of Twilight Princess, the Temple of Time is a building in
dissolution, which could describe why the Master Sword is positioned in the
Lost Woods in Link the Past, although Twilight Princess's direct relationship
to Link to the Past is marginal at best. Geography is hardly canonical,
although since Twilight Princess strikes so closely to Ocarina of Time's
(flipped, it looks a disturbing amount like Link to the Past's), it's peculiar
that the Temple of Time is out of place.
This naturally leads to two questions: Did the citizens of Hyrule pick up the
castle and move it away from the Temple of Time, or was the Temple of Time's
location retconned (the act of changing facts within the series to fit the
current game)? Hyrule Castle was destroyed in the adult timeline, but if this
game happens in the child timeline, then that can't explain it. If the Skull
Kid is any indication, the lost woods was moved to this area too, so it appears
that we cannot use geography in this case.
The Temple of Time, at least as it appears once Link crosses the threshold into
the completed building, is probably nothing more than a throwback, not meant to
have any relevance. It's merely an illusion that leads to the dungeon, which is
part of an ancient technology built by the Oocca and which now houses the
Dominion Rod. Impaz makes no mention of why the rod was ever sealed away and
the cannon stored beneath Kakariko Village.
This naturally throws everything in Ocarina of Time into question. We know that
the Temple of Time was built by the ancient sages to protect the Sacred Realm,
but now it appears that there is an even more ancient part that we never knew
about. However, without knowing the nature of the reformed Temple of Time,
without knowing the nature of the dungeon, whether it be an actual place or
another dimension of the Temple of Time unseen by the naked eye or some place
else entirely, without knowing how the Oocca were involved with the Temple of
Time itself, and without knowing how this connects to Ocarina, it's difficult
to surmise exactly what it all means.
Q: What? Link killed Ilia in that cutscene? She's dead?!
A: No, the cutscene was very allegorical. I will consult Link to the Past's
manual for a formal description:
According to the Hylian scrolls, the mythical gods descended from
a distant nebula to the world that was and created order and
life. The God of Power dyed the mountains red with fire and
created land. The God of Wisdom created science and wizardry and
brought order to nature. And the God of Courage, through justice
and vigor, created life the animals that crawl the land and the
birds that soar in the sky. After the gods had finished their
work, they left the world, but not before creating a symbol of
their strength, a golden triangle known as the Triforce. A small
but powerful portion of the essence of the gods was held in this
mighty artifact, which was to guide the intelligent life on the
world of Hyrule.
The legend is well traveled as most Zelda-ites have played either Link to the
Past or Ocarina of Time. However, things get a little hazy after that.
Many aggressively searched for the wish-granting Triforce, but no
one, not even the Hylian sages, was sure of its location: the
knowledge had been lost over time...but no one ever found it.
The yearning for the Triforce soon turned to lust for power, which
in turn led to the spilling of blood. Soon the only motive left
among those searching for the Triforce was pure greed.
Part of that was abridged. If you believe The Minish Cap was first in the
series, then you'd believe that Vaati's search for the "Light Force" culminated
in much the same vein as said paragraph. The spilling of blood in the search
for the Triforce is the explanation of the first part with Link and Ilia.
However, Twilight Princess adds a new, never before established wrinkle.
According to Lanayru, powerful interlopers, skilled in the dark arts, rose up
and tried to establish dominion over the Sacred Realm using the power of the
Fused Shadows. They failed and were chased across the sacred land of Hyrule,
eventually banished to the Twilight Realm from atop the Arbiter's Grounds.
So that's all it really means. It combines previously established mythology,
which Twilight Princess uses to craft its story. Forget all of the mumbo jumbo
and stick with the meaning.
Q: Are the Gerudo really the Twili?
A: This is a heady confluence for the subtlety and ambiguity of Princess. Most
people look at the fact that Gerudo Desert is empty besides a few estranged
encampments and draw the conclusion that the Gerudo are the Twili. However,
arguing from the vantage point of subtlety, it's possible that Twilight
Princess makes several allusions to this. There are three quotes in particular
that might shed light on this question.
Among those living in the light, interlopers who excelled at
magic appeared. Wielding powerful sorcery, they tried to
establish dominion over the Sacred Realm.
He was the leader of a band of thieves who invaded Hyrule in the
hopes of establishing dominion over the Sacred Realm.
All saw it...a lust for power burning in your pupils... Did you
think we'd forget our ancestors lost their king to such greed?
The wording of the first two quotes is important as they used the words
"established dominion over the Sacred Realm" to describe both instances. The
third quote might seem inconsequential upon first reading, but it helps to
establish that the Twili had an ancient king that was lost to greed. However,
the Twili themselves were lost to greed, so it must deal with something above
and beyond that. It could potentially be talking about a former twilight king,
but that is unlikely since Zant says they knew not the faintest bloom of
desire. It wasn't until Zant's hatred and the upheaval he caused that Ganon
could use that hate to awaken.
Now this theory cannot fly unless Twilight Princess happens in the child
portion of a split timeline. I have already given proper proof of that in the
first section. In order for this to work, the interloper incident cannot have
happened before Ocarina of Time, it has to be THE events of Ocarina of Time.
After defeating Ganon, Link spun off the child timeline by going back in time
and stopping Ganon from ever entering the Sacred Realm. Ganon was subdued and
banished. But what of his followers? Surely they endured a similar fate.
This is important because we know of the events of Ocarina of Time in their
entirety. However, look at it from a casual observer's point of view. Having
known nothing about Link's ability to travel time, they would simply know of
Ganon's capture and trial. He along with his followers tried to establish
dominion over the Sacred Realm, failed, and were cast into the Twilight Realm.
He would simply look like a failed madman to the denizens of Hyrule. Forget
about Ganon. Forget about Ocarina of Time. Stripped down to its purest essence,
this is the exact tale of the interlopers verbatim.
The king being lost to greed part is important since neither Ganon nor the
Gerudo would've known of the other's fate, especially since Ganon was caged in
the solitary twilight for so long. There is a line near the end of the game
where Ganon calls "your people" in reference to Midna "pathetic". The previous
explanation would suffice for this objection. However, there is the possibility
that Ganon knew about the fate of the Gerudo and simply saw himself as a chosen
one, powerful as a god, making the distinction that "they" were cast aside.
The biggest objection though is that the interlopers were magic wielders while
the Gerudo were simply a band of thieves. However, Ganon himself wielded
powerful magic, and some of his closest cohorts, like Twinrova, did, too.
Ocarina of Time is an oddity in the lineage of Twilight Princess and Link to
the Past. The latter two games describe a world balancing upon the edge of a
knife, ravaged by the greed over the coveted Golden Power. They speak of a
sorcerer and a band of thieves attempting to overrun the Sacred Realm in search
of that Power. Ocarina of Time makes general allusions to this (like the
soldier in the alleyway telling you about Ganon's "men") but stops short of
showing it. It's possible that these "men" were an entire band of magic
wielders, perhaps mixed with common Gerudo devoid of magical properties. The
docile Gerudo back at the fortress either disbanded or were clumped in with
Ganon's closest followers.
Regardless, it's merely an interesting proposition, not necessarily something I
believe. I think Aonuma could've meant to point either way. It's something you
can make your mind up about.
Q: Did Zant kill Ganon at the end of the game?
A: There are two prognosises here: either Zant finished Ganon off, or Ganon's
death led to Zant's extinction. There are multiple points we need to consider.
The iridescent Triforce crest had not only stopped glowing, but also it
disappeared from his hand entirely. With the Master Sword in his chest, there
was no one he could've survived. Zant's neck seems to crack at the exact moment
that Ganon dies, however, a neck does not crack like that. It needs a
considerable amount of pressure leveraged against it. Ganon was already dying,
so it's more likely then that Zant bit the bullet because Ganon did. Though
it's probable that this was a symbolic severing of their symbiosis. Remember in
the Palace of Twilight Zant spoke of his god resurrecting him, as of he was
about to die. The neck crack could've been a final vision that Ganon saw, or it
could've symbolical in its etymology.
Q: Do Link, Zelda, and Ganon have their respective Triforce pieces?
In a single timeline each one of them would've had their respective pieces,
wisdom, courage, and power. However, in a split timeline this question will
require a bit of delineation past Twilight Princess. When Link returns as a
child at the end of Ocarina of Time, the Triforce of Courage is on his hand.
However, theorists from the same fold of a split timeline can't even lend a
concrete connotation to the ending, and it's doubtful that the creators
necessarily had anything in mind when they created that scene. We also cannot
turn to the rest of the series since, if we line all of the games up in order,
every game deviates from the other with relation to the Triforce mark and the
Triforce itself. In Adventure of Link he has a crest that does not glow, but he
has the Triforce of Courage. In Link to the Past he does not have the mark at
all, and the Triforce is in the Dark World. Perhaps most peculiar is Majora's
Mask, the sequel to Ocarina, where he does have not any mark at all despite
what we saw at Ocarina's end.
One theory is that Ganon stole the Triforce and it was simply subdue in him
until he was executed. However, the game makes no mention of Ganon entering the
Sacred Realm, and why would he be captured now when he wasn't in the adult
timeline? Another answer is that each person had their respective pieces either
because they were blessed with them or simply because it was an inevitability
of fate. Ocarina speaks in spurts about the power blessed to the chosen ones.
Perhaps it was simply fate. However, within the context of the adult timeline
it makes more sense. Perhaps touching it that one time meant he was destined to
have it for all time, so when Link spun off the child timeline, each wielder
had their specific pieces at that moment.
There is a final explanation, this one a bit more complex. There's a theory
that there are two different kinds of Triforce powers: the Triforce itself and
a general power that those chosen by the gods wield. The foundation for this
might come from The Minish Cap of all things. Many people take that game to be
the first in the timeline, and in my opinion rightfully so. It's a time where
people are desperately looking for the Triforce. In the game Vaati is searching
for a "limitless magical power". The first point of interest appears when Vaati
turns Princess Zelda to stone.
The princess who holds the power of light... That mysterious
power is said to flow in the veins of every royal lady in your
family ever since that day when it was gifted to your people.
If I leave you now, you'll only cause me trouble later. That
will never do.
Empty? There was nothing in there but those monsters? What is
the meaning of this? Well, I know the force I'm after is
somewhere out there. I'm in no hurry. I can take my time
searching for it. Heh heh heh...
This bears mention because Vaati is searching for the Light Force he is
certain it is in this chest and yet he never recognizes that this force is
within Zelda the entire time even though he knows about the power that the
princess wields. Of course he later finds that out when Link leads him to
this information, but it was underneath his nose, and he never even
considered it. At the end of the game Vaati has to "drain" Zelda's power, and
when he did he thought he would become like a god, which sounds reminiscent
of a certain other cackling bad guy we know of. Of course when he was
defeated he wondered how someone with the power of a god could be defeated.
Because he never had the real force. It was in the Sacred Realm still. He
thought he had obtained the real power of the Light Force, but he had only
received a shadow of that power. Apply that to Twilight Princess and you
might assume that the chosen ones wield power but not the power. Ganon thinks
of himself like a god too and yet is defeated in much the same fashion. After
all why would the Triforce of Power just be given to him? It makes a lot of
sense that the Triforce's power would've been keeping him alive since he was
a chosen one, but he never claimed the Triforce itself, so he didn't have it.
That might also explain why he was not interested in reassembling it in the
game.
Many people object and try to say that the Light Force isn't related to the
Triforce. However, it has limitless magical ability, it is a golden light,
it's represented by a golden triangle, and it's inside of Zelda, and at the
end of the game it says that the power of the Light Force will echoe through
the ages. Those taken together form parallels with the Triforce. Of course
it's only a single piece, and it was bestowed by the Picori. If it's the
Triforce itself, that would be changing a huge part of Zelda history assuming
The Minish Cap comes first, and it is doubtful that the Picori would have
dominion over such a powerful artifact. It's more likely that they'd be able
to give a lesser power: a metaphysical wielding of the Triforce but not the
Triforce itself. The only creator quote we have, from The Minish Cap director
Hidemaro Fujibayasha, is rather cryptic:
NP: In the prologue of the game, there are some hints that The
Minish People brought a golden light into Hyrule. Does this
relate to the Triforce legend?
HF: Golden light is a very, very old legend of Hyrule and nobody
knows how it relates to the Triforce legend. It is still a big
mystery whether it has some relationship with the Triforce, which
is the most important element in the Legend of Zelda series.
He is being particularly abstruse. My interpretation is that The Minish Cap,
and the Four Swords trilogy as a whole, only loosely relates to the rest of the
series, but it relates nonetheless, and that yes, the real Light Force is the
Triforce, but it only relates to the other games in a very...laissez faire sort
of way. Once again, personal interpretation rules the day.

I will also gladly accept e-mails with questions or discussions on Zelda
