They are in order most of the time, but some quotes are thrown in randomly because that's where I happened to pick them up. For a more orderly presentation, consider getting the ALttP SNES/GBA comparison table off of my site (in the Library, under Textual Resources). INTRO: Long ago, in Hyrule, a beautiful kingdom surrounded by forests and mountains... legends told of an omnipotent and omniscient Golden Power that lay hidden. It was hidden in a sacred realm beyond the reach of men, but one day... ...a doorway to that realm was suddenly opened... Hoping to claim the Golden Power as their own, the people began to quarrel and fight... Many sought to enter the hidden Golden Land... But none returned, and instead evil power began to issue forth from the dark portal... So the king commanded seven sages to seal the gate to the land of the Golden Power. Many brave knights were lost in the battle to protect the sages from the tides of evil, but the seal was cast! Evil flowed no more! And the seal would remain for all time... Or so the people hoped... But when these events were obscured by the mists of time, and became legend... A mysterious wizard known as Agahnim appeared as from nowhere... and with strange magic powers he eliminated the good king of Hyrule... He cast spells on the soldiers and kidnapped young maidens descended from the sages in order to break the seal... This destiny fast approaches for the final maiden... the princess, Zelda... ZELDA: Help me... Please help me... I am a prisoner in the castle dungeon. My name is Zelda... The wizard, Agahnim, has done something terrible to the other girls... Now only I remain... Agahnim has seized control of the castle and even now is trying to open the sages' seal. I am in the dungeon of the castle. Please help me... UNCLE: Link, I'm going out for a bit, but there's no need for you to worry. I'll be back by morning, but I don't want you leaving the house until then... Go back to bed... and wait for me to return. SOLDIERS: Hey! What are you doing out on a stormy night like this? A kid like you should be heading home and going to bed! But if you plan on staying out, then keep talking to us soldiers. We'll teach you a thing or two! If you get lost wandering the streets, press the L button to check your map. But maybe you already knew that... You look strong for a kid. How much can you lift? You know you can press the R button when you're touching something to lift it, right? I'll bet you didn't know that! ...Or did you? I'll bet you can't wait to get a sword like mine! You just press the B Button to use it. But maybe you knew that... Wow! Your map has a blinking mark on it! I bet that's where you're supposed to go! Oh... I guess that was completely obvious. You know what's really cool? If you stand in front of a chest and press the R Button. Pa-ching! The chest opens! But I guess that's to be expected, huh? I don't mean to brag, but aren't we soldiers a smart bunch? Not that you should be out on a stormy night like this just to hear what we have to say... SIGN OUTSIDE HYRULE CASTLE: I will give 100 Rupees to the man who finds the descendants of the seven sages. THE KING SOLIDER GUARDING HYRULE CASTLE GATE: Hey hey! You're not allowed in the castle, son! Go home and get some sleep! ZELDA, WHILE LINK IS WALKING TO THE CASTLE: Help me... I am in the dungeon of the castle. Somewhere outside the castle you should find a hidden entrance to the palace garden. UNCLE: Unnh... That voice... Link? Is it you? I thought I told you to wait at home... I suppose there's no escaping destiny... Here, take this sword and shield from me. I shall teach you one of the secret sword techniques used by the Knights of Hyrule... Hold the B Button to focus power in your blade. Release it to unleash the power. Link...you must rescue Princess Zelda. Our people are fated to do so. But do not fall victim... to fate... Link... I shall always remember... our time...together... SOLIDER ON ROOF: After Agahnim took over, everyone began to act strangely. I suppose it's only a matter of time before I'm affected, too. ZELDA, RESCUED FROM THE DUNGEON Thank you, Link. I had a feeling you were getting close. Link, listen carefully. All the soldiers in the castle have fallen under the wizard's spell. And I fear even worse has befallen my father... That wizard is an inhuman fiend! His powers are strong... ... ... ... Do you understand? Good! We should go quickly before the wizard notices us. I know a secret path, but we must go to the first floor to reach it. Let's go! There is a secret passage in the throne room that leads to the Sanctuary. I'm sure the old man there will help us. We must hurry. That ornamental shelf should open. Do you have a light? It's pitch dark inside, and you can't see without one. If you're ready, let's go! We have to push it from the left. Come on! Help me! After passing through these sewers, we will be very close to the Sanctuary! Let's be careful! The Sanctuary is just beyond that door. Pull the switch over there. LOYAL SAGE: Princess Zelda? You are safe! And you are the one who rescued her, Link? ZELDA: It's thanks to Link that I escaped from the dungeon! When I was captive the wizard said, "Once I have finished with you, the final one, the sages' seal will open." ... ... ... Link, you must not let the land of Hyrule fall into the wizard's clutches. If he breaks the seal of the seven sages, a wave of evil power will be unleashed. If that happens, the people of Hyrule shall never again know peace... Before that happens... Before it's too late... Please! You must defeat the wizard before he destroys all of Hyrule! You can... You must! LOYAL SAGE: I sense that a mighty evil force guides the wizard's actions and augments his magical power. The only weapon potent enough to defeat the wizard is the legendary Master Sword...but the only person remaining who has any idea of where this blade may be is the village elder. He is said to be a descendant of one of the seven sages. Perhaps he can tell you more. I will mark his house on your map. But we must take care! I am certain the castle soldiers will be looking for you and the princess now! ... ... ... The two of you cannot stay together, so I shall hide Princess Zelda here. Do not worry! Seek the elder! ... ... ... LOYAL SAGE: (note: double "the" not a typo) First, you should go meet the the village elder and get the Master Sword. If you defeat the wizard, the castle soldiers may regain their senses. Go, seek the Pendants! ZELDA: Be careful, Link! May you see this task safely through to its end! You should follow the marks the elder made on your map when you explore. If you don't know what to do next, you can also visit a fortune-teller. OLD WOMAN IN KAKARIKO: Who? Oh, it's you, Link! What can an old woman like me do for a youngster like you? Who? The elder? Oh, no one has seen him since the wizard began abducting his victims... ... ... ... What? Master Sword? Well, I don't remember the details exactly, but... Long ago a prosperous people, known as the Hylians, inhabited this land... Legends tell of treasures with mystical powers that remain from the Hylian age... The Master Sword, a mighty blade forged to thwart those with evil hearts, is one... It is said that even now it rests deep in the forest. ... ... ... Do you understand the legend? Any any rate, seek the elder. There must be someone in the village who knows where he is. Link... Take care... OLD MAN DRINKING IN BAR: Whoa... I saw her. A beautiful young lady at the Waterfall Of Wishing in the hills where the river begins... Link, you should meet her at least once. I'm sure you will like her. MAN WITH OVERGROWN YARD: Hi, Link. Sorry about my yard, but thanks for coming through it to see me. I'm glad to have someone to talk to, so let me tell you an interesting story... There is a lake swimming with Zoras at the source of the river, but it is hard to find. Tales say the Zoras' treasure can turn people into fish. Heh heh! I'd love to see that! BUG-CATCHING KID: I can't go out 'cause I'm sick... Cough cough... People say I caught this cold from the evil air that's coming down off the mountain... Sniff sniff... This is my bug-catching net. I'll use it when I'm better, but for now, I'll lend it to you. OLD WOMAN SWEEPING OUTSIDE: Oh, Link. Someone's been spreading rumors, saying you kidnapped the princess... but I still trust you. KID BY SAHASRAHLA'S HOUSE: Hi Link! Who? The old guy? You mean the elder? OK, but don't tell any of the bad guys about this. He's hiding in the palace past the castle. I'll mark the spot on your map. MAN IN BLIND'S HIDEOUT: Yo Link! This house used to be a hideout for a gang of thieves. What was their leader's name... Oh yeah, his name was Blind and he really hated bright light. WOMAN OUTSIDE: Hey! It's Link, the wanted man! He's over here! Soldiers! Anyone! Come quickly! SAHASRAHLA: I am, indeed, Sahasrahla, the village elder and a descendant of the seven sages. ... ... Oh really? I am surprised that one so young is searching for the sword of evil's bane, Link. Not just anyone can use that blade. Legends say only the Hero who has won the three Pendants can wield the sword. ... ... ... Do you truly wish to find it? Good! For your first test, can you retrieve the Pendant of Courage from the East Palace? If you bring it here, I shall share more of my knowledge with you. Now, onward to the palace! SAHASRAHLA, TELEPATHIC MESSAGE IN EAST PALACE: Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. I can talk to you telepathically when you touch these tiles. I have advice for you... The treasure hidden in this palace will help you defeat armored foes. GETTING PENDANT OF COURAGE: You won the Pendant of Courage! Take it to Sahasrahla! Two Pendants remain! SAHASRAHLA, IF YOU HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM BEFORE: You are correct, young man! I am Sahasrahla, the village elder and a descendent of the seven sages. ... ... ... What? Link, I'm surprised that one as young as you is seeking the sword of evil's bane. Not just anyone can use that sword. According to the tales handed down by the Hylians, only the Hero who has destroyed three great evils and won the three Pendants can wield the sword... I see you have acquired the Pendant of Courage. I will tell you about the legend behind it. Generations ago, an order of knights protected Hylian royalty. These Knights of Hyrule were also guardians of the Pendant of Courage. It has been said that whenever disaster waylays the royal family, a Hero shall emerge from the bloodline of the Knights of Hyrule... Unfortunately, most of them were destroyed in the great war against evil that took place when the seven sages created their seal, so it was thought a hero would never again emerge... But lo! I believe you are our hero, Link! Find the remaining Pendants. And carry this with you. It is a treasure passed down by the families of the sages. I want you to have it. An item that shall aid you is hidden in the cave on th east side of Lake Hylia. Go find it! SAHASRAHLA, IF YOU'VE TALKED TO HIM BEFORE: So, you got the Pendant of Courage! Then I shall tell you more of the legend... Generations ago, an order of knights protected Hylian royalty. These Knights of Hyrule were also guardians of the Pendant of Courage. It has been said that whenever disaster waylays the royal family, a Hero shall emerge from the bloodline of the Knights of Hyrule... Unfortunately, most of them were destroyed in the great war against evil that took place when the seven sages created their seal, so it was thought a hero would never again emerge... But lo! I believe you are our hero, Link! Find the remaining Pendants. And carry this with you. It is a treasure passed down by the families of the sages. I want you to have it. SAHASRAHLA, AS YOU BEAT MORE DUNGEONS An item that shall aid you is hidden in the cave on the east side of Lake Hylia. Go find it! Other relatives of the seven sages are also hiding from the wizard's followers. You should seek them, as well. GETTING BOOK OF MUDORA You found the Book of Mudora! You can use it to read the ancient language of the Hylia! SIGN BY ENTRANCE TO DESERT OF MYSTERY: I am just an average guy. Do not speak to me. DO NOT remove this sign. AGINAH (IF YOU TALK TO HIM BEFORE GETTING BOM) I am Aginah. I sense something is happening in the Golden Land the seven sages sealed... This must be an omen of the Great Cataclysm foretold by the people of Hylian blood... ... ... ... The prophecy says, "The Hero will stand in the desert holding the Book of Mudora." If you have the Book of Mudora you can read the language of the Hylian people. It should be in the house of books in the village... You must get it! If you are indeed the Hero... AGINAH (AFTER YOU GET THE BOOK OF MUDORA) Aha! It is the Book of Mudora. With it, you can read the language of the Hylian people. INSCRIPTION ON DESERT PALACE MONOLITH: To open the way to go forward... Make your wish here... And it will be granted. SAHASRAHLA'S MESSAGE FROM TILE IN DESERT PALACE: Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. Be sure to find the treasures hidden in each dungeon. POWER GLOVE: You got the Power Glove! You can feel strength in both hands! You can pick up and carry stones now! GETTING PENDANT OF POWER You won the Pendant of Power! Your goal of finding all three Pendants is in sight! Go for the last one! AGINAH, AFTER BEATING DESERT PALACE Your trial in the desert has made you stronger. The blood of the Hero must be in your veins... SIGN BY DEATH MOUNTAIN: DANGER! Do not enter Death Mountain without the king's permission! OLD MAN ON DEATH MOUNTAIN: I don't know who you are, but if you are going to go up the mountain, will you take me with you? I lost my lamp, so... Uhhh... Watch your step. There are holes in the ground. Could you turn right here? Young man, are you also going to the mountain to look for the Golden Power? Just ahead is a mountain full of monsters. Many people have vanished in this mountain while looking for the Golden Power. I don't want to steer you wrong, so please don't get too involved in such a mad quest. Uhh.. Turn right here... ... You know, I have a granddaughter who is your age... The king took her to the castle and she never returned. Kidnapping those maidens must be part of the wizard's plot! I'm sure he is trying somehow to use the power of the descendants of the seven sages... The missing maidens are still alive somewhere. I believe that a Hero will rescue them... I wait for that day... Uhh... These are dangerous times... I've talked too much. Anyway... Thank you for being kind to an old man like me. Uhh... I wanted to give you this. If you wander into a magical transporter, gaze into this mirror. MAGIC MIRROR: He gave you the Magic Mirror! This mirror is blue, clear, and beautiful... You feel like it's going to pull you into another world... OLD MAN The wizard has deceived the king, and now he is trying to open the way to the Dark World. To complete your quest, you will need the Moon Pearl, which is in the tower on top of the mountain. All I can do for you now is comfort your weariness... Come back here any time. SIGN BY CAVE ATOP DEATH MOUNTAIN (BY LONG STAIRS) This cave leads to the path back to Kakariko Village. SAHASRAHLA'S TILE MESSAGE, IN DEATH MOUNTAIN CAVE Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. You must somehow make your way to the top of Spectacle Rock. From there you can reach the Tower of Hera on top of Death Mountain. BOUNCING BALL Whoa-oh! Tumble tumble... Hey! You were turned into a bunny... The terrain in this world looks like the terrain in our world, but it's just a little different. And anyone who wanders into this land is changed to a shape that reflects his true nature. I'm always changing my mind, so I turned into a ball... But if you have a ball called the Moon Pearl, you can keep your original shape here. Whoa! Hey! You haven't transformed! You're no ordinary guy, are you? GUY KICKING PINK BALL Hey! What do you want?! Do you have something to say to me, silly rabbit?! I came here to get the Golden Power, but I can't go back to the real world like this! If I only had the Moon Pearl from the Tower of Hera... Then I could change back to the way I was! I've got good reason to be stressed out! So back off! Now scram! WOW! Your shape didn't change! You got the Moon Pearl, huh? SAHASRAHLA'S TILE MESSAGE, IN TOWER OF HERA Link, it is I, Sahasrahla the elder. I have some advice... In the dungeons, you can gaze into the Magic Mirror to return to the entrance at any time. Do not forget this! SAHASRAHLA'S SECOND TILE MESSAGE IN TOWER OF HERA Link, it is I, Sahasrahla the elder. An orb known as the Moon Pearl is in this tower. He who holds the Moon Pearl is protected, and his form will not change in the Dark World. You must find it and escape from the tower! Don't forget the Moon Pearl... MOON PEARL: You found the Moon Pearl! This protects The Hero from the transforming effects of the Golden Power. LAST PENDANT: You won the Pendant of Wisdom! With this, you've collected all three Pendants! Go now to the Lost Woods to get the Master Sword! OLD MAN ON DEATH MOUNTAIN, AFTER YOU BEAT TOWER OF HERA: The Moon Pearl will protect its bearer from the magical air of the Golden Land, so you can keep your human shape there. All I can do for you now is comfort your weariness... Come back here any time. OLD MAN ON DEATH MOUNTAIN, AFTER YOU BEAT AGAHNIM: Link, I think the wizard has created a portal between the two worlds somewhere near the castle. All I can do for you now is to comfort your weariness... Visit me any time. FIRST LUMBERJACK Yo Link! A mysterious fog has recently fallen over the forest. We have to be careful! SECOND LUMBERJACK Maybe it's nothing, but this tree feels kind of strange as we cut it... LOYAL SAGE: Take the three Pendants into the Lost Woods. The Master Sword awaits you there! ZELDA: Link, you are wonderful! As I thought, you have the power of the Hero inside you! Now, you should get the Master Sword. I feel sure that you can defeat the evil wizard! -NOT- GETTING THE MASTER SWORD This is it! The Master Sword! ... ... ... No, this can't be it... Too bad. INSCRIPTION ON MASTER SWORD PEDESTAL The Hero's triumph on Cataclysm's Eve wins three symbols of virtue. The Master Sword he then retrieves, keeping the Knight's line true. SAHASRAHLA Sahasrahla's voice echoes from the void... ... ... ... Link, you have done well to obtain the evil-banishing blade, the Master Sword... The power that shines in it is now yours to wield! With it, you should be able to thwart the magic of the evil wizard Agahnim. The destiny of this land is in your hands. Please, Link... ZELDA Link! Help! The soldiers are coming to the Sanctuary! AIEEEEEEE! ... ... ... LOYAL SAGE Link! If only you had come sooner... A group of soldiers was here... They took Princess Zelda. I fear they have taken her to the highest room in the tower. They mean to sacrifice her! You must find her before the wizard works his magic. Please, Link... You are our only hope... RUNNING MAN I can't believe you caught me! With your speed it must have been easy to kidnap Zelda... You don't look like such a bad guy, though... Anyway, because you have such quick feet, it might be a good idea to run and bash into many things... For example, the trees in this village have many useful things hanging in their branches... Well, just try it, OK?! KID Did you meet the old man? If all the bad people go away, he can come back to the village. SAHASRAHLA, IN HYRULE CASTLE Listen well, Link. Even with the Master Sword, you cannot inflict physical harm on the wizard. You must find a way to return his own evil magic power to him. AGAHNIM Aha... Link! I have been waiting for you! Heh heh heh... I thought I would make Zelda vanish before you. Behold! Princess Zelda's final breath! Ho ho ho... With this, the seal of the seven sages is at last broken. It is now only a matter of time before evil power covers this land completely... After all, the legendary Hero cannot defeat us, the tribe of evil, when we are armed with the Power of Gold. Ho ho ho... Now, I must go! Ho ho! You seem to want me to finish you off! Then allow me to make your wish come true! Grrrrugh! Well met, "Hero"! But I am not ready to admit defeat yet... I will draw you into the Dark World! SAHASRAHLA Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. I am communicating with you across the void through telepathy... The place where you now stand was the Golden Land, but evil power turned it into the Dark World. The wizard has broken the sages' seal and turned the gate to Hyrule Castle into a portal linking that world to this. In order to save this half of the world, the Light World, you must win back the Golden Power. You must also rescue the seven maidens who Agahnim sent to the Dark World. As descendants of the seven sages, they have power that will surely aid you. The maidens are locked in hidden dungeons full of evil creatures and dangerous traps. The Palace of Darkness should be your first goal in this world! Link, you are our last hope. Please make this old man's wishes come true. I beg you! TREE IN PALACE OF DARKNESS AREA You're new here, aren't you? Did you come here looking for the Power of Gold? Well, you're too late. It will obey only the first person who touches it. The man who last claimed the Power of Gold wished for this world. It reflects his heart. Yes, I came here out of greed for the Golden Power, and look what happened to me... To restore the Golden Land, a person worthy of the Golden Power must defeat the man who created this place... Until that time, I am stuck in this bizarre shape. But what a mischievous thing to leave lying around... The Power of Gold... KIKI THE MONKEY I'm Kiki the monkey, ki ki! I love Rupees more than anything. Can you spare me 10 Rupees? What will you do? Give him 10 Rupees Never give him anything Ki ki! Harumph! I have no reason to talk to you, then. Bye bye! Kik ki ki! Ki ki ki ki! Good choice! I will accompany you for a while. Kik ki ki! Ki ki ki! If you give me 100 Rupees, I will open the entrance for you. Kik ki ki! What will you do? Ask him to open it Try to open it yourself Ki ki ki! Hmph! Do it yourself, then! Ki ki ki! Ki ki! Good choice! Then I get 100 of your Rupees. Kik ki ki! ZELDA CONTACTING LINK WITH A TILE IN THE PALACE OF DARKNESS Link, can you hear me? It's me, Zelda. I am locked in Turtle Rock on top of Death Mountain. I know you are doing your best, but please hurry... MAIDEN IN THE PALACE OF DARKNESS Link, because of you, I've escape from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! ...This world was once the Golden Land where the Triforce was hidden. But because Ganon, the leader of the thieves, wished it, this world was transformed... I'm sure he's intending to conquer even our Light World after building his power here. His hope is to use us maidens and the power of hte sages that has been passed on to us as the key to open a larger gate between the worlds near Hyrule Castle. But the gate is not completely open yet... There is still time. Together, we seven maidens can break the barrier that protects Ganon's hiding place. I can tell you where the other girls are held. I believe you will destroy Ganon. I will return to my original form at that time. ... ... ... ... ... SAHASRAHLA, IN SWAMP PALACE: Link, it is I, Sahasrahla. Objects in the Light and Dark Worlds mimic one another. If the form of a thing changes in one world, it will change the shape of its twin in the other. MAIDEN IN SWAMP PALACE Link, thanks to you I was able to escape from the clutches of evil. Thank you! ...The Triforce will grant the wishes of whoever touches it, as long as that person lives... That is why it was hidden in the Golden Land. Only a select few were told of its location, but at some point that knowledge was lost... The person who rediscovered the Golden Land was an evil thief named Ganondorf. Luckily, he couldn't figure out how to return to the Light World... ...Well, remember that you have magical powers, which only the Hero can make use of! There are some other magical warping points like the one you saw on Death Mountain. By using them you can go between the two worlds and find the evils hidden in the Dark World. You are the only one who can destroy Ganondorf, the thief... No! Ganon, the evil King of Darkness! TREE IN VILLAGE OF OUTCASTS Wow! I haven't seen a normal person in a few hundred years! Let me talk to you for a while. Do you know about the Gargoyle statue in the village? People say they can hear a girl calling for help from under the statue. Isn't that a strange story...? TREE BY DARK WORLD HAUNTED GROVE Wow! I haven't seen a normal person in a few hundred years! Let me talk to you for a while. I once lived in the Lost Woods, until the day I wandered into a magical transporter... The power of the Dark World quickly turned me into this tree shape... I guess the two forests are connected with each other... DEMON WHO GIVES YOU 1/2 MAGIC Hey! Blast you for waking me from my deep, dark sleep! ...I mean, thanks a lot, sir! But now I will get my revenge on you. Get ready for it! ...Err, is that OK with you, sir? Heh heh heh! I laugh at your misfortune! Now your magic power will drop by one-half! Congratulations! Now, do your best, even though I'm sure it won't be enough! Have a nice day! See you! FLUTE BOY'S FATHER Ohhh... my poor flute-playing son... How I miss the sound of his flute. He went to look for the Golden Power but he has not returned... I wonder where he is and what he's doing now? ...Zzzzzz Zzzzzz... FLUTE BOY After wandering into this world I turned into this shape. ... ... ... Back in my world, I played my beloved flute day and night... There was a small grove there where the animals would gather when I played. I would love to see that place again... Before I came here I buried my flute there, along with some flower seeds. Will you try to find it for me? Yes No way Then I will lend you my shovel. Good luck! ... ... ... I see. I won't ask you again... Good-bye. GETTING FLUTE: Oh! Here's the Flute! Its music surely has some mysterious power! FLUTE BOY: Thank you, Link. But it looks like I can't play my flute any more. Please take it. If by chance you go to the village I lived in, please give it to a tired old man you will find there. ... ... ... Well, my mind is getting hazy... Please let me hear the sound of the flute one last time... FLUTE BOY'S FATHER Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzzz... ... ... ... Snore... ...Zzzzzz Zzzzzz... Mumble mumble... Oh? This flute! This is my son's flute! Have you seen my son? Where is he? Is he all right? ... ... ... Oh... You don't need to say. I understand just from the look in your eyes... Could you keep that flute? Then you can play it for the birds in town in my son's stead. Please do this for me. It would make my son so happy. ...I just wish I could have seen him one more time... MAIDEN IN SKULL WOODS Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! ...Do you know the prophecy of the Great Cataclysm? This is the way I heard it... If a person with an evil heart gets the Triforce, a Hero is destined to appear... ...and he alone must face the person who unleashed the Great Cataclysm. If the evil one destroys the Hero, nothing can save the world from his wicked reign. Only a member of the Knights of Hyrule, who protected the Hylian royalty, can become the Hero... You are of their bloodline, aren't you? Then you must rescue Zelda without fail! ZELDA, IN THEIVES' TOWN Link... It's me, Zelda... Don't be deceived by the magic of Blind the Thief! Be careful! FAKE MAIDEN Ohh, thank you so much! You saved my life. Please take me outside. Err... Wait a minute... Please don't go this way. Gyaaah! Too bright! MAIDEN IN THEIVES' TOWN Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! As the sages sealed the way to the Dark World, the Knights of Hyrule defended them from the attacks of evil monsters. I heard that the Knights of Hyrule were nearly wiped out in that battle... You are perhaps the last one to carry on the bloodline of those knights... It's ironic that the last one in the line has the potential to become the Hero of legend. Surely you can destroy Ganon! SMITHIES Ribbit ribbit... Your body did not change! You are not just an ordinary guy, are you? I used to live in Kakariko Town. I wonder what my buddy is doing there without me... Ribbit! I have a request of you. I beg you... Please take me to my partner! Please! Ribbit! Please! Oh! What is this?!? You found my partner! ...Happy days are here again! Drop by here again sometime! Then we will temper your sword perfectly! Hey you! Welcome! Ask us for whatever you need! Temper my sword I just dropped by I'll give you a big discount! Sword Tempered... 10 Rupees Wait a minute All right, no problem. We'll have to keep your sword for a while. Your sword is tempered! Now hold it! Great! Your sword is stronger! You can feel the sheer power flowing through your body! Well, we can't make it any stronger than that... Sorry! Drop by again anytime you want to. Yo ho! Yo ho! Let's get to work! SAHASRAHLA, IN ICE PALACE Listen to my words, Link... The magic flames will protect you inside this icy dungeon. You cannot destroy the Skeleton Knight with the sword alone. When he collapses, he is vulnerable to another weapon. Link, you must not exhaust your magic power. You will have need of it ahead. If you do not have possess the Medicine of Magic, then proceed with caution. Do not overexert yourself... MAIDEN IN ICE PALACE Link, thanks to you, I was able to escape the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! They say the Hylian people mastered mysterious powers, as did the seven sages. But the blood of the Hylia has grown thin over time. And we who carry the blood of the sages do not possess our ancestors' powers, either. But our power will increase if we mix the courage of the knights with the wisdom of the sages! Perhaps there is still a way in which we can help you. But there is little time before the gate at the castle linking the worlds opens completely. If you defeat Ganon, this world will vanish, and the Triforce will wait for a new master. I believe in you... Good luck! BEETLE THING Heh heh. Thank you. As a matter of fact, monster magic is making it rain in the swamp. If you can move the air with more force than the monsters, the rain may stop. SAHASRAHLA, IN MISERY MIRE Link, it is I, Sahasrahla the elder! Set the four torches alight and the way ahead shall surely open. CANE OF SOMARIA You got the Cane of Somaria! If you use it strategically, this mysterious cane will be of tremendous help! MAIDEN IN SWAMP PALACE Link, because of you, I've escaped from the clutches of the evil monsters. Thank you! Ganon captured us because he couldn't break the seal of the sages with his power alone. And then, using the wizard Agahnim as his pawn, he drew us to the Dark World. After cracking the seal with our powers, he sealed us inside of these crystals. He then gave us to his loyal monsters. But Ganon didn't plan on you getting this far. Now, Princess Zelda is waiting for you inside of Turtle Rock. Please hurry! BUM UNDER BRIDGE Yo! Link! You seem to be in a heap of trouble, but this is all I can give you. BIRD THING BY PALACE OF DARKNESS Hah! Thank you. They say there is a tiny circle of rocks in the lake at the source of the river. I don't know what will happen, but it might be fun to throw something into it... Heh heh. See you... SAHASRAHLA, AFTER BEATING AGAHNIM I am but an old man. I can't even grip the hilt of my sword... You are all I have to rely on. MIDDLE AGED GUY Why did you take my sign? It says plain as day to just leave me alone! Sheeesh! SAHASRAHLA, IN TURTLE ROCK Link, do you possess the Medicine of Magic? If not, I recommend against going any further. ZELDA, IN TURTLE ROCK I appreciate your coming so far to rescue me. As I thought, you are the legendary Hero. I have felt this from the first time we met. ... ... ... Ganon is inside of his tower, waiting to pass through the gate linking the two worlds. Once Ganon enters the Light World, it is unlikely that anyone can stop him. But if he is kept in the closed- off space of this world, you can find him wherever he runs. Now, take the seven crystals to Ganon's Tower! Our combined powers will break his barrier! Let us return peace to the country and smiles to the faces of the people! ... ... ... BREAKING GANON'S BARRIER Link, we are going to break the barrier of Ganon's Tower with our power. AGAHNIM: Ho ho ho! It's great that you could come all the way here, Link. And while I'm very happy to see you again... you'd better believe that we will not have a third meeting! Prepare to meet your doom! FAIRY QUEEN, SILVER ARROWS You are an honest person. I like you. I will give you something important... These are the Silver Arrows. To deal the final stroke to Ganon, you definitely need them! I know I don't quite have the figure of a fairy... Ganon's cruel power is to blame! You must defeat Ganon! SILVER ARROWS These are the Silver Arrows you need to defeat Ganon! GOLDEN SWORD Your sword is stronger! You can feel its power throbbing in your hand! SAHASRAHLA, IN PYRAMID OF POWER When Ganon is stunned, seal his fate with a Silver Arrow! Do you understand, Link? GANON I never imagined a boy like you could give me so much trouble. It's unbelievable that you defeated my alter ego, Agahnim the Dark Wizard, twice! But I will never give you the Triforce. I will destroy you and make my wish to conquer both Light and Dark Worlds come true without delay. You are doing well, lad. But can you break through this secret technique of Darkness? En garde! ESSENCE OF THE TRIFORCE Welcome, Link... I am the Essence of the Triforce. ... ... ... The Triforce will grant the wishes in the heart and mind of the person who touches it. If a person with a good heart touches it, it will make his good wishes come true... If an evil- hearted person touches it, it grants his evil wishes. The stronger the wish, the more powerful the Triforce's expression of that wish. Ganon's wish was to conquer the world. That wish changed the Golden Land into the Dark World. After building up his power, Ganon planned to go on to the Light World to fulfill his wish. But now that Ganon has been destroyed, his Dark World will surely vanish. The Triforce is waiting for a new master. Its Golden Power is in your hands... Now, touch it and think of the wish in your heart. ... ... ... ...
