A Link Between Worlds Text Dump

This is not an official text dump, but rather a collection of text as played through the game until an official one becomes available.

Gulley:

Hey, Link! Huh. Still Sleeping. WAKE UP! Come on! How long are you going to sleep, Link? Do I have to wake you up every morning? I have chores to do! I’ll be waiting outside, so get up-and let’s get going! Papa was really angry. He said that you can’t be a blacksmith if you don’t get up at the crack of dawn! Papa is steaming mad that you’re late again. C’mon, let’s get to his shop. Oh, almost forgot! Don’t forget to check in here. What do you mean, where? With the weather vane here! Always give that a spin when you pass by. That’ll let you save. Papa says you should always do that. …Hmm. Not real sure what saving is. I’m just a kid. Nobody tells me anything. Anyway, I’m going to run on ahead. Catch up after you spin that vane, Link. Sorry-you’ve gotta spin the vane! You don’t want my papa finding out that you didn’t save properly.

Weather Vane:

A new weather vane has been added to the map. Save your progress? Save Don’t save Saving. Please do not turn off the power. Saving complete.

Gulley:

What are you doing? This is no time to go off on an adventure! Where are you going? This is no time for wandering off! Not that way, silly! What, you still half-asleep or something? You’d better head inside. My papa’s waiting, Link! Come on! There’s no time for wandering off now! I think Papa might really have it in for you now, Link! He really blew his stack! Maybe he’s cooled down by now. But, uh, I sorta doubt it!

Blacksmith <-> Captain:

All right. So tell me, how’s that shield suit you, Captain?

Superb work as always. But I’d expect nothing less from a master.

I do what I can, Captain. Also helps that I have a good source of ore. That shield’s tougher than ever now.

I wouldn’t trust my gear with anyone else. No one can bring the best out of a sword quite like you. So, if you’ll excuse me, it’s time that I forge ahead. Busy day.

Captain:

Oh, who’s this? Well, well! If it isn’t Link. Slept late again? You sure you’re cut out to be a blacksmith? It’s not my business to say, but you’d better mend your ways, lad. There’s no future in being a layabout.

Blacksmith:

Late again?! Well, come on, get over here. Time to get to work, Link!

Blacksmith’s Wife:

Oh my! The captain left without taking his new sword.

Blacksmith:

What?! He’s gone off unarmed? Lucky you. Instead of getting an earful, you’ve got an errand, Link. Take that sword and hurry after the captain. I put a lot of work into that sword. Get it to the captain, and make darn sure there’s not a scratch on it! Come on, get with it! Take the sword!

Blacksmith’s Wife:

Did you even have breakfast yet? Soon as you come back, I’ll make sure you eat before work! Oh…and don’t fret about that sourpuss. I’m sure he’ll forget all about your sleeping late by the time you get back. Now just be safe out there, and give our best to the captain.

Craftsman:

(music note) My hammer never misses whenever I work for the missus! (music note) But my hammer’s always faster whenever it’s for the master! The master makes me tack on that second verse there…

Captain’s Sword/Forgotten Sword:

You got the captain’s sword. Now deliver it!

Blacksmith:

Hurry-run after the captain. What now? Don’t know where to go? Where else? He’s got to be headed back to Hyrule Castle! You still groggy? Fine, look, I marked it on your map, so get a move on! Don’t think you’re off the hook for showing up late either. For now, just hurry after the captain.

Gulley:

Huh. You done already? You get off easy or something?

Fortune-Teller:

I see…! I see…! Ah, yes! I see that you’re here too early, Link… I’ve got something to give you. But as a fortune-teller, you’ve got to trust me when I say this. Come back when you’ve…bumped into the bunny.

Hmm. I hope that makes sense? If not, I’m sure it soon will! How may I be of help? Fortune Nothing

You don’t seem to have enough Rupees. Come back when you do, and then I’ll be glad to tell your fortune. Higgledy-piggledy! Porkety-florkety! Choppity…floppity…kerplop! Oh, a sign from on high! I see it. All right, I’ll state it plainly… I can see a man guarding the gate in front of Hyrule Castle… You would do well to pay him a visit. That concludes our session. Were you able to see the path you’ll take? OK, that’ll be 20 Rupees.

Are you saying you have no interest in having your fortune told? My fortunes can be worth their weight in gold. Especially when you’re feeling particularly stuck in your adventures. Have you…bumped into the bunny yet? It’s in your future. Come back after that for a gift, OK?

Rupees:

You got a Red Rupee! It’s worth 20 Rupees. Don’t spend it all in one place! You got a Purple Rupee! It’s worth 50 Rupees! Now how about that?!

Doors:

It seems to be locked. It seems to be locked. Someone inside is raising a fuss over what to wear today. How peculiar! Seems like it’s not opening time yet. The doors are locked.

Street Merchant:

Oh, please forgive me, but I’m still getting everything ready for my new outdoor shop. Please stop by later! I’m still quite busy setting up shop. Please come back later.

Gramps:

Ever stop to think how many times we just pass right on by people on the street? You know, all our life? Well, I know a secret that will make passing by people a lot more fun. Because I am in the business of introducing people such as yourself to StreetPass! Hm… It looks like you don’t have a sword of your own yet. You need a sword for StreetPass. Sorry. I don’t make the rules. Come back once you get your own sword.

Shady Guy:

Listen, kid. I didn’t do it. Whatever it was. So just leave me alone, OK?

Woman:

Why, hello! Lovely day, isn’t it, Link? Did you oversleep again? I heard your master shouting about it way over here!

Young Woman:

Some naughty child grabbed one of my Cuccos. He probably wanted to jump off a roof with it. Gliding with a Cucco is fun, but I can’t stand it when kids take MY Cuccos! If you jump from a really high place while holding a Cucco, it’s almost like you can fly!

Signs:

Welcome to the Cucco Ranch, home to the cutest Cuccos in Hyrule. Not in right now. -Rosso Do Not Enter! Do Not Blow Up Wall! Very Strange Creature Inside! If you grab and shove the graves, you’ll get an earful from me! – Dampe (more?) It’s too dark to read. The path will open to the one who lights the way.

Cucco Girl:

Well, I’ll be. A customer! Sorry, but we’re still setting up for the day. The Cuccos are still waking up. How about you come back later?

Rupee Rush Gal:

Ready to rush? Aw, sorry. Actually, we’re not open yet, you cute li’l thing, you. But don’t you worry. Rupee Rush will be open quicker than two shakes of a Cucco’s tail feathers!

Swimmer:

Aaaaaand…STRETCH! Hey, guy. You seem like you get around a lot. Don’t forget to do your stretches, OK? What, it’s not your stretches that are troubling you? Then it must be that building over there, right? Huh, whaddya mean, which one? The one with the windmill. You can see it if you use (d-pad)!

Great Fairy:

I will soothe your wounds and provide comfort. Close your eyes and relax...

Witch:

Aha! A customer? Tell me what I can do for you, child. Anything else you need? Just a hello I want to buy Selling stuff Nothing

What a polite young man you are! And to a witch as old as I am? You don’t see that much these days. Here-have a sip of this potion I’m brewing up if you’d like. These are my deluxe potions. But I’ve been having trouble getting the right ingredients lately...

I can only make you red potion for now. That is, unless you bring me the necessary bits and pieces. Press (A button) in front of the potion you’d like to by to find out which ingredient it uses. Kee hee hee!

I only buy some potion ingredients. Have you any monster guts or monster horns? It seems not.

Ah, interested in some of my red potion, are you? It’ll cost 50 Rupees. Want some? Yes No

Red Potion: Restores eight hearts! This will definitely come in handy.

Sorry. I can’t give you any unless you have a bottle.

Well now, you’d like some of my blue potion?

Blue Potion: Restores all of your hearts. You can’t go wrong with one!

To make that potion, I’ll need 10 monster tails. Once you have that, I’ll be glad to brew you some blue potion.

Ah, you’d like a little of my yellow potion?

Yellow Potion: Drink it to make yourself invulnerable for a short time!

To brew up that potion, I’ll need 10 monster horns. Once you have that, I’ll be glad to make you some yellow potion.

Oh, so you’d like some of my purple potion?

Purple Potion: Drink this to damage all surrounding enemies.

Well, to make that potion, I require 10 monster guts. Once you have that, I’ll be glad to stir up some purple potion.

Dampe:

Oh, it’s you, Link! Here at the Graveyard to pay your respects? This early? You’re a strange one, Dampe thinks.

Seres:

Oh, hello, Link. Up bright and early, aren’t you? My father is busy now, so come back later if you have something to ask him.

Priest:

A good morning to you, young Link. Sorry, but I’m in the middle of my morning preparations. How about we talk later?

Hyrule Soldier:

I scrub and scrub-and STILL this paint won’t come off! We’ve been up since dawn washing these paintings off the walls. Crummy joke, if you ask me.

Morning, Link. What brings you here so early? Delivery for the captain? He’s not at the castle. I know he was headed to your master’s shop… Oh, you bumped into him there? Well, I know he was planning on visiting the Sanctuary. He probably got hung up there. I hope he comes back soon. We’ve had an outbreak of vandalism. All over the walls-paintings everywhere! Anyway, if you need to find him, I’d say head north of the castle. That’s where the Sanctuary is. Thataway is a shortcut. What, don’t know where the Sanctuary is? Should be marked on your map. To get to the Sanctuary, head along the castle’s moat. That’s the fastest way there. It’s north of the castle.

Soldier Paintings:

It’s a painting of a knight with a spear. He looks really burly! It’s another painting, and he looks way tougher than Hyrule soldiers! It’s a painting of a knight. He looks pretty intense.

Seres:

Oh, look who’s here! Welcome to the Sanctuary, Link. Eager as ever, aren’t you? Is there something I can help you with? I see, I see… You’re looking for the captain. We’ll, you’re at the right place. He’s come to see my father. The captain forgot his sword? Oh, how unlike him to be so careless? Just a moment. I’ll fetch him for you.

Dampe:

Coming and going! Going and coming! The captain stops by here more than anyone… You think he wants to yak with the priest? No, sir-just makin’ excuses to see Seres there. She hasn’t got a clue, either. But I s’pose that’s what’s so lovely about Seres. Carefree as a bird… But ol’ Dampe sees more’n people think. Like those paintings on the castle walls this morning. There’s trouble brew-

Seres:

AHHHH-!

Dampe:

Wh-what’s happening in there? Th-th-the doors are shut tight. Can’t get them open! Wh-what can we do? That was Seres crying out! Dampe doesn’t have a key! Dampe just digs the graves around-! Wait. Dampe remembers! Dampe once heard the priest talking about a secret way into the Sanctuary, hidden right in my Graveyard. Bad luck, Dampe thinks, messing around with graves. Worse luck, going under the ground… But YOU! You do it. If you get scared, just swing that sword around!

What sword?

That sword you’ve got there! Dampe heard you say it belongs to the captain, but who cares?

OK, OK...

       It’s for delivery!

You’re right!

But I can’t...

What? Saving Seres is way more important than some delivery. You’re USING that sword-even if Dampe has to tie it to your hand!

OK, fine!

	If I have to…

	I’m scared!

Forget that. Get to swinging that sword!

Sword Description:

You got a sword! Sort of, anyway. The captain won’t mind if you borrow it. Swing it with (B button).

Dampe:

Use that sword if you run into trouble. Dampe would help, but these old bones are falling apart as it is. So go find the secret passage. It’s got to be hidden somewhere in the Graveyard! Whaddya doin’? Seres is in trouble! So’s the captain! And the priest! Who knows WHAT’S going on in there! C’mon, hurry. The secret passage into the Sanctuary is hidden somewhere in the Graveyard. Watch out. Some of those gravestones are so old, you can shove ‘em right over if you’re not careful!

Where do you think you’re going Link?! You gotta hurry and help Seres! C’mon! That’s not the way to the Graveyard!

Lamp Description:

You got the lamp! Equip it on the Touch Screen.

Small Key Description:

You got a small key! It will open a locked door!

Priest:

What do you want with Seres? I swear, if you hurt my daughter…! And what sort of fiend dares to defile the Sanctuary in this manner?

Yuga:

A fiend? How easily you stoop to petty insults. My name is Yuga. And I have come here seeking nothing less than…perfection. And you, my dear, are perfection. How can you stand being so lovely, surrounded by these filthy fools? I will put you on a pedestal. Or rather, upon a wall-perfect forever. Ah! As I suspected, you’re even lovelier as a painting. I think that Her Grace will be most pleased. Oh? What have we here? Another worm comes wriggling in?

Priest:

H-how did you get in the Sanctuary, Link? Run, child! Wh-why do you just stand there? RUN! Not even the captain stood a chance against him!

Yuga:

I believe this worm here wishes to tangle with me. Come on then. Wriggle, wriggle, little worm!

Priest:

N-no, Link!

Yuga:

You think you can challenge ME? Why, I am the portrait of perfection! While all of you…? Merely scribbles and squiggles. The very sight of you offends my eyes! Still, I’ll be leaving this ugly world soon enough. Gah! Out of my way. Not even that captain of yours could stand against my might. For all his spit and polish, he made for but a crude doodle on the wall. A waste of my magic. Farewell, fools. I’m off to acquire what little perfection I can find in this gaudy world of yours.

Priest:

N-n-no! Don’t take my Seres… We must…warn…Princess Zelda…

Ravio:

Ooooh, you’re waking up. Good, I was starting to worry about you, buddy. The name’s Ravio. Hey, you listening to me? What, the rug tastes really good or something? I’m a traveling merchant. I found you in the Sanctuary. Passed out. Alone. Strange, if you ask me. It looked like you needed a pal, so I took the liberty of lugging you here to this vacant house. Seemed like the perfect place for you to shake off the snores. Say what? This is your house? Looked empty-ish to me. Wait, so tell me…What happened to you, buddy? You don’t say? Some strange man turned a girl into a painting? So you got done in trying to stop him, huh? That makes you a hero, buddy! A real, live, genuine hero! But why are you standing around talking to me then? You’ve gotta report this to the castle! Oh! Hey! Wait a minute. To tell you the truth, I’ve been looking for a place to stay. It’s been hard to find somewhere good. So,uh. This is awkward… Mind if I stay here for a while? Just a couple of days, I promise!

Of course

Really?! Thanks a million! Finally, no more sleeping in the wild. Tough world out there, you know?

No way

What? Say it’s not so! But-! But-! But aren’t we buddies? You’d kick me out? Into that cruel, cruel world out there? Please? You don’t know what it’s like trying to get some shut-eye with all those creepy-crawlies! I know it’s your place, but I feel so at home here! Pretty please? With a cherry on top?

All right

	Get out

What? R…really? Please let me stay! I know it’s your house, so super-duper please?

Of course If you insist

Here-take this. I can’t pay rent yet. But it’s something, at least.

Ravio’s bracelet Description:

You got Ravio’s bracelet! Pretty old, but a gift’s a gift!

Ravio:

I know it looks like a hunk of junk, but it’s older than old. A real treasure, that thing-! Uh, what? What odor? You don’t want it because it SMELLS funny? That’s the smell of history, buddy! Musty leather! Moldy aromas! The rich fragrance of a relic! OK, fine. I’ll admit that it smells like a wet dog. But you gotta know, that’s a GOOD smell. Besides…it’s a gift. So the least you could do is wear it, buddy! Now, pronto, buddy. To the castle! Hurry!

What’s that? Was the priest all right? I don’t know. Maybe? Probably? All I know is that you’ve got to get news of all this to Hyrule Castle! Now, pronto, buddy. To the castle! Hurry!

What, you think I should go? Have you SEEN what I’m wearing? They’d never believe me. Anyway, stop wasting time and just make haste to the castle! Bye now! See ya, Mr. Hero!

Welcome back, Mr. Hero!

Gulley:

Hey, you’ve come to play with me, Link? So did all those animals! They always come running when I show up. They run off if anyone else comes along… I wonder why. The more the merrier-that’s what I think! What? There are monsters on the prowl, so I should head home quickly? Oh, I’m not worried about that. I’m sure I’ll be able to make friends with them too!

Cucco Girl:

Welcome to the Cucco Ranch! Come to play with our cutesy little Cuccos? Sure you have! Want to play right away?

Of course

I just knew you wanted to play! The Cuccos will be pleased as punch. Now, the rules are simple. You go into that enclosure up there, and then try to dodge the Cuccos that come flying at you for 30 seconds.

Since you’re still wet behind the ears, let’s start you at Egg level. Since you’re a Cucco novice, let’s start you out at Egg level, shall we? Egg level is 20 Rupees. Wanna play?

       Yes

All right, try your best!

       No

Another time

Oh, that’s a darn shame… The Cuccos and I will be waiting!

You ready? In that case…

Whoa, nicely done! Here’s your prize-40 Rupees!

Aww, that’s a shame! Another (x) seconds and you would have won! I’ll hold on to that prize.

Try again?

 	One more time

No more

The Cuccos say thank you for playing! Come again sometime.

Wanna try again?

Yes No

Chick level is 30 Rupees. Wanna play?

Yes No

You’re no fledgling, that’s for sure! The Cuccos are hopping happy! Here’s your prize-60 Rupees!

Which level do you wanna play on? Rooster Rooster level is much trickier! Wanna play? Just 50 Rupees.

Yes No

Good gosh! That sure was some serious dodging there! I guess even Rooster level was too easy. Well then, I’ll prepare a special challenge for you next time. Oh, before I forget, here’s your prize. A whole 150 Rupees! And since you made the Cuccos SO happy by playing with them, here’s a special thank-you gift!

Oh, you don’t have enough Rupees… The Cuccos will be upset to hear it!

Piece of Heart:

You got a piece of heart! Collect three more to get a heart container.

Blacksmith’s Wife:

Have you seen my little Gulley anywhere, Link? I’m sure he’s just playing somewhere nearby. But people have been talking about…monsters. If you happen to find him, tell him to hurry home, all right?

Blacksmith:

Hey! You get that sword to the captain yet, Link? What? He and Seres were turned into paintings?! You still asleep and dreaming or something? Get it together! Well, whatever. I’ve got something else on my mind. Have you seen Gulley anywhere? Reason I ask is that people have been seeing monsters around here. Gulley’s a chick off the ol’ block, so I’m not all that concerned. Bt the wife is. So, I’m worried for HER. Yeah, there’s no reason to worry about Gulley. He’s just out playing, that’s all. I’m sure he’ll be back soon. But you! Don’t just stand there. Get that sword to the captain. We don’t have all day!

Street Merchant:

Oh, a customer! Don’t be shy. Come on over.

Dampe:

Dampe can’t believe his eyes. This painting of the captain-! Is that the end of him? And poor, lovely Seres too…!

Priest:

I’m relieved to see that you’re all right, Link! But my poor Seres. I can only guess why that fiend has taken her. All that nonsense about perfection! Of course, my daughter IS perfect, but if only I could have taken her place…! Oh, what a nightmare this is! What a tragedy for the captain here… Turned into a painting while trying to protect Seres! I must stay here for those seeking solace. This may have been the first tragedy, but it won’t be the last.

This is the painting of the captain that Yuga left on the wall!

Lakeside Item Seller:

What? If you’re not buying, not sure I have much else to say, guy. Huh-you again? That sporty fellow out there, that weird creature in the cave! Not sure I’m cut out for this line of work.

Papa:

Hey there. Uh, did your master give you permission to play around with swords, Link? Wait… I bet you heard that the old man over there is calling for people with swords to come talk to him. Did you? Uh, no? Well, he is. He’s talking about how fun something called StreetPass is. When I took my daughter there to play, he said only people with swords can get in on the action. I don’t know what this StreetPass thing is all about. But it sounds like a crazy-good time! That ol’ Gramps in our village keeps talking about StreetPass. It must be fun. He gets so excited about it!
