^?[sfx]Hoo hoot! At last, you're awake, Link. I am Kaepora Gaebora. Mine is the voice you've been hearing since you left the Four Sword Sanctuary. I know you're worried about finding Vaati, but you must not act rashly. Find the six shrine maidens and Princess Zelda, and you will also find Vaati. As for that dark shadow... Let's call him Shadow Link. That one is up to no good. Your sword is weak, but you can restore its power by infusing it with Force Gems. But first, the four who have been divided must be drawn together! Press the L Button! I must fly, but we will meet again on the road ahead!

^?[sfx]What is it, Link? You must get moving!

^?You found a Force Gem, the Four Sword's power source!

^?That won't do, Mr. Fairy! How about 398 Force Gems? [.]Help! [.]Forget it.

^?Come on, you can do better! Maybe 3,000 Force Gems? [.]Help! [.]Forget it.

^?Tingle has a bargain for you, Mr. Fairy! Tingle sees that you have [#fg]. Tingle will take 198 of them. OK? [.]Help! [.]Forget it!

^?That's no good, Mr. Fairy! Your wallet has [#fg]. Tingle will take 398. [.]Help! [.]Forget it!

^?Only 30 seconds until time-up Tingle!

^?I've got a bad feeling...

^?Tingle stole 300 Force Gems from each of you!

^?P[var] snags a sword filled to the brim with Force!

^?Long ago, in the kingdom of Hyrule, a wind sorcerer named Vaati appeared. Vaati terrorized the people of Hyrule and kidnapped many beautiful girls from their homes. When all hope seemed lost, a young boy carrying little more than a sword appeared. According to the legends, when the boy drew his sword, he split into four, the four-who-are-one worked together to vanquish Vaati. The hero used his sword to bind Vaati in a remote area of Hyrule. The people christened the blade the Four Sword and built a shrine around it. There it remained undisturbed for many years. Ages flowed by... The wind sorcerer Vaati broke free of his prison and kidnapped Zelda, the princess of Hyrule. Princess Zelda's childhood friend Link used the power of the Four Sword to defeat Vaati and seal him away once again. And, for a time, the people of Hyrule believed that their land was safe. Until...

^?[sfx]Travel by sea under my protection to a place called the Eastern Temple.

Another of my kidnapped sisters is imprisoned there. Allow me to transform, that I might serve as your guide. Come! We must go!

^?[sfx]Where am I? The darkness... It's gone. I have been freed, haven't I? Link! What's happened to you? Oh, the Four Sword. You've drawn the mystic blade. That means Vaati is free once more, does it not? And you've taken up the mantle fate has given you. How brave! Such determination speaks well of you. You are truly a great hero. Oh... Oh! There's something you must know! That dark shadow that captured us... It looked...just like you! What was it? Link... You must save the princess and the remaining maidens!

^?[sfx]Link, we have arrived! The bond you all share must grow stronger if you hope to meet the difficulties ahead. Be prepared.

^?Hmph! If I can't get through that door, I don't see why I should let anyone else!

^?Don't pay any attention to my wife... She can be pretty stubborn. Once she makes up her mind, there's no changing it. Why don't you go around back? There's a tunnel you can use behind the house. The entrance is blocked, but maybe you can blast it open.

^?[sfx]Link! Link! You must awaken, Link!

^?There's an item! Pick it up with the R Button!

Volume 2

Strange days have arrived in the village as one child after another disappears. Tingle bets that they're all ditching school, no doubt playing some charming game. Oooh! Tingle wants to play, too! If you discover the kids' whereabouts, play awhile for Tingle's sake! Search 'til your eyes are bloodshot and weary!

Tingle

^?Sniff...sniff... My...boyfriend and I had a fight. It's my fault for always being so stubborn. It can't end over something like this. Will I never see him again? Sniff...sniff... ... ... ... What's that? You... You're going back to your world? ... ... ... Then please help me! Take this letter to him! You took the letter! Savior of romance!

^?Sniff...sniff... Someone...please... Take my letter to...him... Is there no one who will carry my letter? ...Waaaah!

^?[sfx]Hoot hoo! Link, are you now able to wield the Four Sword? It's a sacred sword able to smite the darkness. And that's not all. It also grants you the power to see the shadowy Dark World. The people of this village... They're being spirited away by some force. It may be that the Dark World is drawing them in. Save the villagers, Link! Bring light to their darkness!

^?[sfx]Hoo hoo! What is it? Do you seek to hear my words again? The sacred Four Sword has the power to dispel the dark. Its power is immeasurable. As you near the Dark World, you'll begin to see traces of it, like shadows. People are being spirited away from this village. Could there be a connection? Save the villagers, Link! Bring light to their darkness!

^?Awesome! You found this secret world, too? Did you notice that there are only kids here? All we do is play and play! No one wants to go home! Not even me! No, sir! Except...the girl in the house with the red roof is always crying. I wonder if she doesn't like it here.

^?It's so much fun here! I wonder why that girl does nothing but weep. Don't even bother talking to her. She's no fun.

^?Please! Save my girlfriend!

^?... ... ... What did you say? Is that a letter from my sweetie? Let me see it! Hmm...uh-huh... Oh...ah.... I'm so relieved. My sweetie's OK! But she was attacked by a giant tornado and a dark shadow that kidnapped her. Can she be rescued? Hey, you! Do something, please! Sweetie gave me this feather as a good-luck charm... You can have it if you help her! It's great! You'll feel like a bird as you jump around light as a...uh...feather. You can even bound over giant holes! This is all I have left... I want you to have it. You got a Roc's Feather! With this giant bird's giant feather, you can take off and soar the skies! Press the A Button to jump! Press the B Button while falling to swoop downwards.

^?My girl and I were fighting. I took off, and when I came back, my house was gone! I went to her place, but all I found was this strange mage and a Seeker. Where's my house? Where's my girlfriend!?! Ah...I've lost everything... What am I supposed to do now?

^?At the very least, I want him to know I'm OK.

^?What?! You delivered it? That's so nice! Thank you. Was he... Was he angry? ... ... ... Oh...that's good. I don't know when, but someday I'll get out of here and return to him. I will!

^?Why is there a line here? I guess I'll get in line, too!

^?I don't know when, but someday I'll get out of here and return to him!

^?It's a small key! Use the R Button to lift it and carry it to a keyhole!

^?Watch where you step! You can't tell if anything's in front of you, so be sure to look around!

Volume 3

Tingle hears that little boys and girls who behave get to meet a fairy here. Perhaps if Tingle does his best to be kind, he may meet this fairy face to face! Here's a good deed! I'll put up road signs! [^]...Someone's Storeroom [<] then [^]...Strange Cave [<]...Someone's House Praise my kindness!

Tingle

Volume 6

WAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Tingle's been had! Someone's stolen his precious Force Gems! This village is filled to the brim with thieves! It's not fair... If you see the culprit, please catch him for Tingle! Show no mercy!

Tingle

^?What's going on here? This used to be one of the best places to meet people. I thought I'd just mingle for a bit, but this joint's as empty as my wallet! Hm... But I don't really want to go next door, either. That strange mage's been over there reading that book of hers forever. Weird!

^?[sfx]Link! Did you defeat that giant stone eye-thing? Thank you! By defeating that beast, you rescued me from my crystal prison! Thank you, Link. You have my gratitude! The wind sorcerer Vaati has regained his power. When he last tried to conquer Hyrule, he built a Palace of Winds in the Realm of the Heavens. So even now, he's sure to be-- Link! You must first rescue Princess Zelda. Act quickly! I rule over Death Mountain. High atop the peak, the Tower of Flames stands tall. Climb the mountain. One of the maidens must be trapped in the tower of raging lava. Come, Link. I shall guide you.

^?I promise I will make that fiend regret what he has done!

^?Where was it, though? There are six other sages hiding in this realm. Surely they can aid you...

^?That's odd... Where'd Grandpa disappear to? He said he was going for a stroll, but he never came back.

^?My girl and I were fighting. I took off, and when I came back, my house was gone! I went to her place, but all I found was this strange mage and a Seeker. Where's my house? Where's my girlfriend!?! Ah...I've lost everything... What am I supposed to do now?

^?My name's Iris! I'm an apprentice magician. I lost my magic book, and now I don't have the magic to get back home. I tried some spells from memory, and I got this tiny house to appear... But it's so frustrating! Where in the world could my book have gone? ...Say, what's that? It's my book!!! Well, I'll be! Pretty impressive for such a little fella. ... ... ... Hm? The guy who owns this house is upset? Oh! I didn't think anyone owned it! I thought I'd just magicked it out of nowhere! I'd better return it right away. Here, check this out! As long as I have this book, I can do anything! I really must return this. Abra this, hocus that, shallabazoo! Boo!

^?Ah...I've lost everything... What am I supposed to do now? At the very least, I wish I knew where she's gone...

^?Treat Papa's special boots with care, please.

^?Hey, you! What do you think you're doing? Everyone on that side is my enemy! And don't you forget it!

^?I can see... I can see... I can see all... I can see Force Gems hidden in the soil! If you seek hidden Force Gems, you must dig with a shovel of steel!

^?Papa was so looking forward to these boots being a big hit with everyone... He must have been really upset if he gave them to you for free. Treat Papa's special boots with care, please.

^?This is a one-time deal, let me tell you! I'm not supposed to do good deeds!

^?...Say, what's that? It's my book!!! Well, I'll be! Pretty impressive for such a little fella. ... ... ... Hm? The guy who owns this house is upset? Oh! I didn't think anyone owned it!

^?That should do it! Look back in your world. Then, you'll understand the magnificence of my magic!

^?An oasis lies to the east.

^?An oasis lies to the west.

^?An oasis lies to the south.

^?There's a temple to the south of the oasis.

^?Frozen lake! No swimming!

^?There's some warm soup.

^?Stay out of the woods! You'll meet with disaster!

^?The rocks around here are fragile. Use a bomb on them!

^?It's a blizzard out there. Go out dressed like that, and you'll freeze where you stand. Stay in here and warm yourself.

^?Move rocks and ice away from the departed, so that they may rest in peace.

^?Do you have time to waste looking at this? Get going!

^?Go right.

^?Go left.

^?No loitering!

^?Pressing switches can sometimes be good...

^?Pick up a stone and wait 10 seconds! See what happens!

^?Burn! Burn!

^?Go left 3 paces and up 5 more.

^?There's treasure in that there cave!

^?Missed the mark.

^?Right on target!

^?A dead end.

^?... ... ... ...

^?Think about it!

^?Don't have any better ideas.

^?Do your best!

^?Goal!

^?Ho ho ho... So, back again, are you? I've a feeling I'll be seeing a lot of you... Hee hee hee...

^?So, we meet again! Hee hee!

^?Oh ho ho! We meet again... Hee hee hee!

^?[sfx]Link! We're in northern Hyrule, at the base of Death Mountain. Head for the peak!

^?Warning! If you see either [P1] , [P2] , [P3] , or [P4] , report back at once!

^?Adventurers, assemble! Head [^] for some helpful adventuring tips.

^?What's he trying to prove? Tossing giant bombs around like that is dangerous. I didn't even know they made bombs that big! Those just can't be good. If you value your life, you'd better flee when you see one of those things. Oh, and one more thing: you and that mad bomber are like two peas in a pod. You're practically identical twins! What's up with that? HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

^?I didn't even know they made bombs that big! Those just can't be good. If you value your life, you'd better flee. Oh, and one more thing: you and that mad bomber are like two peas in a pod. You're practically identical twins! What's up with that? HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

^?I sell arrows. I know what you're thinking. There's not much money in arrows. ... ... ... But what else can I do? I can't give up on a family tradition!

^?[sfx]Ah! The Dark Mirror... Someone's stolen the Dark Mirror! That mirror reveals the wickedness within a person and brings it to life. It's an item of terrible, dark power. No good can come from this. Shadow Link!! Could he be your evil reflection, cast by the Dark Mirror? If that were the motive of the mirror's thief... This is disastrous! If we don't get the mirror back, Hyrule will be overrun with evil Shadow Links. The mirror... Who took it? And where?

^?[sfx]Hoo hoo hoo! Link, there's a colossal bird wearing a mask living on Death Mountain! The giant beast appeared after Vaati stormed the mountain. The mountain's guardians of old--a tribe of Gorons--are troubled by the bird, too. I implore you, go and help the Gorons! They're counting on you, Link!

^?That pot's filled with a lot of oil, so be careful! If you accidentally break it... KABOOM! My dad says you're welcome to use it if you need to burn stuff.

^?There's been this weird bird up on top of Death Mountain a lot lately. It flies around the peak day after day. It's huge! And that mask it's wearing! I've never seen anything so scary! If you go ask my dad, I'm sure he'd crack that mask for you.

^?-Secret Goron Plan for Crushing the Giant Bird- 1. Hit the bird with bombs and knock it out of the sky. 2. Think something up quick! (Because I have no clue what to do next!)

^?[sfx]The giant bird is just up ahead. It is quite fast, so keep your eyes open. We bird folk like to fly high and gaze down on the land. This area is especially nice. We'll not let beautiful Hyrule be taken by these dark beings. ...Hm? That's Hyrule Castle... I believe you've driven off its darkness already, but... Something's not right. I shall go and investigate! You keep going! Get rid of that bird and save the maiden from the Tower of Flames! We shall meet again!

^?[sfx]You passed through the flames to rescue me! Such bravery. You're just like the Knights of Hyrule! You've heard of the Knights of Hyrule, of course! They're the pride of the kingdom! They would lay down their lives for honor! In Hyrule, four sacred jewels can open the path to the Realm of the Heavens. The safety of these jewels has for ages been entrusted to the Knights of Hyrule. And yet, in these dark times, the knights are nowhere to be seen... I cannot hide my fears. ... ... ... Pardon? Master Kaepora Gaebora, you say? Is that so... Well then, we must go to Hyrule Castle! We must liberate the castle!

^?[sfx]Link! Hyrule Castle fights an even greater darkness than before!

^?[sfx]Be cautious, Link. A poison swamp lies ahead! Vaati! I curse the name! His actions have poisoned the very land! The creatures who lived here have long since fled the effects of his foul presence. Now all that remains are monsters and floating weeds that lead travelers astray. I believe you can vanquish this foulness and return Hyrule to its former beauty. Link, my friend, take care not to get lost and drown in this poisonous swamp!

^?[sfx]Hoo hoot! Link! Danger has struck Hyrule Castle once again! The darkness we thought vanquished has returned. Perhaps some dark agent remained hidden, waiting for the right moment to strike. Where there is great evil, though, there may also be an imprisoned shrine maiden. You must tell the maiden of this tower! We cannot abandon Hyrule Castle!

^?Hey, boy! None of your mischief near that tomb!

^?It's dangerous out. You shouldn't be wandering around. This shadowy guy has been stirring up trouble lately. Actually, he looks like you! My name's Dampe. I'm supposed to be the caretaker at this here graveyard. Only I can't take care of a single thing right now. I'm helpless!!! These creatures, they are so pleased. They treat our world like their new home. Listen up, boys. Legends speak of a mirror in which a dark tribe was sealed away long ago. I understand it's supposed to be hidden now somewhere in the Forest of Light. The forest's been covered by pitch-black clouds recently. It's a Forest of Dark now. Yep, no mistake about it... Something bad's a-brewin' there.

^?I came to visit my departed wife's grave. Then she showed up, saying she came to visit MY grave... I wish someone would tell me which one of us is the ghost and which isn't!

^?I came here on a dare, but all my friends vanished, and now I'm all alone. A ghost told me that they'd all gone home. How mean! Oooh... I'm scared...

^?[sfx]Link! The mirror is a danger in anyone's hands but yours. No one else can be trusted. Retrieve the Dark Mirror from the palace, and keep it until Princess Zelda is safe. Please. You are the only one we can depend on... First, let us proceed to the forest.

^?[sfx]Link... Thank you. You carry my hopes with you...as well as all of Hyrule's. Wait... Is that the blue royal jewel you carry? How did you come by it? Is that so? The Knights of Hyrule... So even the jewels are now... Link, all we can do is put our faith in the light and press on, overcoming each obstacle that confronts us. My forest has lost its light. Darkness covers it like a shroud. Link, will you go to the forest? Perhaps you will find some clues there. In the heart of the forest is a temple. The Dark Mirror can be found there. Long ago, a dark tribe invaded Hyrule. They were defeated and imprisoned within the mirror. The tribe's mirror prison was then secreted away and hidden in the forest temple to sever its connection to this world. That Dark Mirror must never fall into the hands of those with evil hearts.

Volume 1

Tingle had an encounter with a charming lady fairy! It was fate! Destiny! I was sneaking along behind her when she went into a castle...and never came out! Surely she's been captured, because she's too adorable for her own good! If you happen to see Miss Fairy, gaze upon her lovingly for me. Oh...and save her, too!

^?If you want to beat your look-alike, check the color of his clothes... You can't touch him if you're not wearing the same color. That's common sense. I guessed as much from the start, but he still got me... Say hi to my grandkids back home... OoooOOOOoooo...

^?Link... Link... Can you hear my voice?

^?[sfx]Oh, Link... It's you! Thank goodness you came! The six maidens who guard Hyrule are gathered here in the castle. The sky has become so dark and foreboding... I'm worried about the seal that binds the wind sorcerer Vaati.

^?[sfx]Princess Zelda! Come quickly!

^?[sfx]We must hurry. Come, this way.

^?[sfx]Come with me, Link.

^?[sfx]Eeek!

^?[sfx]Ha ha haa...

^?[sfx]That's it! Game over! Let's check the results!

^?[sfx]That's it! Game over! Hey, It! You lose! Yeah, you're It! Give everyone 100 Force Gems!

^?Such determination for one so young! I've got a task for one with your tenacity. If you catch a Cucco and bring it to my house, I'll give you a grand reward!

^?Her last wish was that I adopt myself a pet Cucco. What a little cutie...

^?... ... ... ... ... Darling... What will I ever do without you...

^?... ... ... ... ... Ah, what an adorable Cucco. It warms my old heart. After my wife passed on, I was prepared to spend the rest of my days alone... But now that I've seen that Cucco... Would you...let me take care of it for you? I'll give you this key, and you can even take as many Force Gems as you like. If I have that Cucco by my side, I won't need anything else.

^?Looks like peace and quiet will return to our village. No need for me to look out my window for thieves anymore. What a relief! And we have you to thank for all of this!

^?I've built a fence around the village to keep any thieves from escaping! If you want to leave the village, you have to capture ten thieves first. Well, I'll be! You already captured all those dirty thieves? I guess I'd better get that fence there torn down, huh! You can come and go as you please from now on!

^?Well, I'll be! Did you really capture every last one of the thieves? What a relief that is. Now that they're all gone, I can take that fence down. You can come and go as you please from now on.

^?You still have left to capture. I know their hideout's around here somewhere. Use the R Button to lift 'em up and put 'em in this cage. Nab every last one of them miscreants, even the ones holed up in their lair.

^?I've built a fence around the village to keep any thieves from escaping! If you want to leave the village, you have to capture ten thieves first. All you gotta do is lift the rascals up with the R Button and put 'em in the cage. I'm countin' on you.

^?[sfx]Hey, buddy. You can't play tag by yourself. Come back when you've got some friends.

^?Oh...rain! Blessed, blessed rain... But...this is a bit...too much rain... I don't know why, but this doesn't feel right.

^?You've seen it, of course, haven't you? All the trouble we've been having with fires around the village? What we need is a good downpour, but there's nary a drop of rain to be had. I'd say a rain prayer, but I can't very well use the flame from our own fires. Hmm... Gotta do something, or the village is doomed. What to do...

^?What I really need is a good flame to use as part of my rain prayer.

^?Everything's going swell lately! And we have Ganon, King of Darkness, to thank! Huh? Vaati? What's that? No, Vaati's old news. Ganon's the King of Darkness! Forget Vaati!

^?Oopipi! Are you lost? Oopipipipipi! Yeah! Yeah! You'll be lost forever!!

^?I adore Lord Ganon, but that shady guy who looks like you ain't so great. He's not one of us, but he still pushes us around like he's some kinda big shot!

^?I'm off to the Temple of Darkness to worship Lord Ganon! Oopipi!

^?[sfx]Link, this is the Forest of Light. Or rather, it once was. Now, the darkness grows deep, and the air stagnant. I wonder if some clue might reveal itself here. It seems that many foul beasts are gathering here. Perhaps you might be able to learn something from them.

^?[sfx]Do you know this village, Link? Kakariko was once home to many kind people. Now, however, it's become a rather dangerous place. The darkness that cloaks its people has cost many of them their humanity. It's madness. How much stronger will this darkness in Hyrule grow? Hoo hoot? Dark Mirror? Hoo... So the shrine maidens have said they want you to watch over it? Link... You've proven yourself to be trustworthy and reliable. There's no need for me to fuss about. I entrust the future of Hyrule to you! I'm going to take to the skies and check on the rest of Hyrule. Forge on, Link! Hyrule is counting on you!

^?Cough cough... Did... Did you put out the fires? I'm always getting sick, and when those thugs started the fires...cough... I had to stay locked away in here for my health. I'd like to give you something for rescuing our village. There's a treasure buried in a pit in my yard. You'll get more out of it than I ever will. So...cough...I want you to have it.

^?My most special treasure, my bug net... It got burned up... It's so sad. I used to dream about going to the forest with it when I got better.

^?Leave the village and follow a mighty river downstream, and you'll find a temple. You should go there and swear your allegiance to the great king.

^?The thief whose hideout is under the tree at the town entrance is awful. I think he stole all of my Force Gems while I was out on my apprenticeship.

^?Welcome. It's been a long time since we've seen any travelers here. This village is our home. We are the dwellers in the desert, the Gerudo tribe. The village is in a bit of an uproar contending with a man who broke our laws. We can't do much for you, but make yourself at home.

^?Oh, visitors to this village are truly rare, you know? We of the Zuna tribe live in this village. We may not look it now, but we are descended from the wise pyramid builders!

^?The road to truth will open only for those who oppose the inconstant winds.

^?[sfx]Take heed, Link. The road you must take is enveloped in a fierce wind. But remember how far you've traveled. You must proceed. You must go forward. You can meet any obstacle that arises. I believe that. A Gerudo village lies due north of here. Go and speak with them.

^?Curse that Ganondorf! He broke our laws and left for the pyramid... I don't know what he plans, but I am worried...

^?The Desert Temple was built to keep people away from the pyramid. None who enter the pyramid or the temple have ever returned. They are tombs. Yet the man has gone there by himself. All for the sake of his own mad desire!

^?The pyramid is sacred to our people. To have a criminal such as him enter... His presence stains its holy ground.

^?Once every 100 years, a special child is born unto my people. That child is destined to be the mighty guardian of the Gerudo and the desert. But this child, its heart grew twisted with every passing year. The child became a man who hungered for power at any price.

^?Within this desert, an ancient temple slumbers amid ruins. A perpetual sandstorm blows here, a barrier to hinder those who seek to enter. If you plunge headlong into the sands, you'll wind up right where you started.

^?[sfx]Hm? That writing on those large rocks... It's in an ancient tongue... Let's see if I can read it. ... ... ... Seek...you...the world? Seek you...power? Does your...soul...despise peace and...thirst for... more? Does your soul...cry... for...destruction and... conquest? We...grant you...power to ...ruin...the world. The power of...darkness. Evil...spirit of magic trident. You are...the... King of Darkness.

^?The man who came from the south a while back gave off bad vibes. I waved and everything, but the jerk just ignored me! Hmph!

^?I was wandering about and came across this temple in the desert. Eh? Where was it? Uhm...let's see... I had no business there, so I forgot.

^?Do you want to know the secret of the pyramid? When we're young, we're told all the legends of the pyramid! There are many frightening tales about the pyramid. They say there's an evil force... No, wait... They say there's no evil force. Wait...which one was it? Evil force or no evil force?

^?I'll give you a sand rub for 100 Force Gems! It's a special massage that's good for the heart! Sure. No thanks.

^?[sfx]... ... ... Evil spirit... Spirit of magic? Trident? This indentation is in the shape of a weapon. Do you think the person who took this trident was... Ganondorf?!? The King of Darkness is not Vaati? Does this mean this wicked man is somewhere in Hyrule plotting even now? Link! The situation is even more desperate than I believed! We must hurry!

^?To go west from here, you must take uniform steps and move slowly. Or else!

^?I'm terribly sorry. I've nothing left to trade to you.

^?[sfx]Uh-oh! It looks like those soldiers have noticed us. I'll take care of this!

^?Tell me, travelers, what brings you to these borderlands? Hmm... I see... You come on word of the maidens, eh? Yes, this Ganondorf you speak of is a member of the Gerudo. But his intent is unknown to me. He has flouted the law and fled for the pyramid. To reach the pyramid, one must first pass the trial of the Desert Temple. The villain Ganondorf will no doubt draw his last breath failing this trial. We've blocked the road to the desert to keep other fools from coming. But considering the crisis in Hyrule, we've no reason to stop you brave lads. Go to the entrance of the village and speak to the guards at the gate.

^?The world is in turmoil. The desert and her storms have grown fierce. Please rescue the maidens...and our world.

^?Who... Who is it? Who's there? You... You're not with those fiends who have taken over the castle, are you? Please, would you help me?

^?Oh, happy day! Thank you! Now, at last, we can merge as one, and I can return to my true form! Please take me to the barrier that blocked your way. I'll do my best to aid you on your journey!

^?[sfx]I didn't think I would ever be allowed to reclaim my true form as a Great Fairy again! Thank you so much, brave ones!

^?[sfx]Link! The maiden was taken at the bottom of these stairs. Please, hurry and help her!

^?I heard the maidens' cries and came running to find the castle a nest of fiends. They captured me and split me in two. That's why I look so horrible right now! Please, I beg of you. Reunite my two halves! Make me whole again!

^?[sfx]So this is the magical barrier that barred your way? Allow me to take care of this.

^?[sfx]I'll let all of my friends throughout Hyrule know... "If you run into four travelers with one face, tend to their weariness and ease the burden of their travels!" There is a tradition that young, noble gentlemen rescue damsels in distress. And so, I leave the well-being of the maidens in your hands. Take care!

^?[sfx]Link! There's a terrible fiend in Hyrule Castle. He's leeching power from the maidens little by little. Listen well, Link. To rescue the maidens, you must face the fiercest of foes. Keep your wits about you, and be wary!

^?To he who would be tested, use both body and spirit to pull the watchman forth.

^?Terrorpin Hockey... That's the game the Deku Scrubs are always playing!

^?Oopipi.... I've done it! I've created a gentlemen's game for Deku Scrubs. I call it... Terrorpin Hockey! The rules are simple. You send Terrorpins spinning and then cut them! Cutting them when they're not spinning is lame. But when they are, it's cool! Oopipi! It's so fun! Don't you see how fun it is?

^?Pipiii! It's my incredible creation, the Snow Wall! Unless you flame it while in Deku Scrub formation, you can't melt it! In other words, guys like you will never be able to get by this wall! I am soooo smooooth!

^?[sfx]Link, the Tower of Winds has vanished. If we enshrine the royal jewels on the Four Sword's sacred ground, the temple may reappear. We'll go on ahead and guard the sacred ground from our foe until you arrive. The power of darkness has halted the flow of time here, and winter lingers on. We must believe in tomorrow and hold true to our hope. May our passion keep our hearts from freezing! Link, you must first seek out the final royal jewel! Then, we will go to the Tower of Winds, where Princess Zelda awaits.

^?Come now, you must be cold in such thin clothing. Here, drink some of my specialty soup. You know, we've had some fierce blizzards around these parts lately. It's terrible. Anyone who stays out too long feels his strength start to ebb from the cold. I've seen it happen, and so I'm sure to have warm soup always at the ready. You're welcome to come by whenever you'd like. After all, we have to help each other out in these troubled times, you know?

^?- Blizzard Warning! - Take care not to stroll out too far during blizzard conditions! If you're exposed too long, your strength will fade away. Be careful!

^?[sfx]Link? It is you, isn't it, Link? I believed you would come to my rescue, and here you are. I knew you would wield the Four Sword and come... Thanks to your efforts the darkness above ground is thinning. The maidens and I will pray to keep the darkness from recovering its full strength. However, the Realm of the Heavens is now overflowing with Vaati's monsters. The darkness in the Realm of the Heavens must be purged if true peace is to return.

^?OooooOOoo... Strike cracked blocks forcefully from above to smash them to bits. Everyone knows that. I didn't know that... No one ever told me, and now it's too late... I must leave some kind of record of my mishap before it happens to someone else. ...Why did I write out "OooooOOoo"?

^?[sfx]Link, the sacred grounds lie within this forest. Preparations are complete. Come, let us proceed.

^?Urrrk... I thought I'd finally made it to paradise, but...this place is no paradise. If you whack it, it will appear... A mountain of spikes.

^?[sfx]At last, the Dark Mirror has been retrieved...

^?[sfx]The time to face the wind sorcerer Vaati is at hand. There will be many traps waiting for you in the Palace of Winds. Reaching the fiend will be no small task. Yet you, Link, are the only one who can save Hyrule. The maidens and I and the fortunate people whom you have rescued... those whom the darkness claimed, the Knights of Hyrule, and many others... We all believe that you, Link, will deliver us from this peril and bring us peace. And I... I will wait for you. Please, do not forget...

^?[sfx]Link! Now! Defeat Shadow Link!

^?[sfx]Link! The Shadow Links will regenerate if left alone! I must act...

^?[sfx]The Shadow Link, the one who wrought so much havoc upon Hyrule... No longer will his troubling shade darken our world. The one who stole this mirror and brought forth the Shadow Link... He who plunged Hyrule into darkness draws near! ... ... ... The heroes must be given passage to the final battle. A bridge!

^?[sfx]Link! You've defeated the wind sorcerer Vaati. ...!

^?[sfx]This palace was built on the power of Vaati's magical strength. With its master gone, it can no longer retain its form. We can't stay here any longer! We must escape to the Tower of Winds!

^?[sfx]What?! That raw patch of darkness, deeper than the blackest night... Is... Is that Vaati? No, it's not the wind sorcerer... No matter, I must use my power to seal it away!

^?[sfx]Can't breathe... My strength is failing me... The very air around me is growing thin...dying... I only need a bit... more power... MORE!!

^?[sfx]Enough! The princess of Hyrule and all her power amounts to nothing! Zelda! I, Ganon, now seal you away forever!

^?[sfx]Ganon... This beast was once of the Gerudo... Once human. He was called Ganondorf! King of Darkness, ancient demon reborn. The wielder of the trident!!

^?[sfx]Yet now... While Ganon's power has waned... I will pour all of my remaining strength into this ball of light! When it is suffused with power, I will release it and strike! At that time, use this! Fire at the ball of light with all your might! If we combine our powers, we may yet be able to seal Ganon away from the world! Link! You must hold back Ganon until my ball of light is ready!!

^?[sfx]Do you think to stop me? You have not even a fool's chance of facing my power. Once I am finished here, I shall be rid of your Princess Zelda forever!

^?[sfx]Now! Hold the Four Sword over your head!

^?[sfx]Gyaaaaaaa! What... What have you done? I am the King of Darkness! I cannot be destroyed by insects like you! Noooo!!!

^?[sfx]... ... Link. We whom you protected, and all of Hyrule as well... We will struggle together and grow stronger than before. We will work as one, as the four of you have done. We will work...together. Now, the Four Sword... Place the sword that sealed away the darkness on the pedestal.

^?[sfx]This was all there was to the wind sorcerer Vaati, eh? Before the Four Sword, you were at your wit's end. Useless cur! I did not steal enough power from the Hyruleans. My blood boils, heroes! It seethes at the sight of you! I thirst for destruction! For the pure release of rage, the power of wrath! Four Sword or no, my trident will reduce you to nothingness! I'm waiting, you worms!

^?You who are guided by shadows may in turn guide shadows...

^?You who guide shadows may in turn be guided by shadows...

^?Oh, this is bad! This is very, very bad! Hey! You! C'mon, give me a hand. See that cave? There are water jars in there. Throw 'em and put out the fire.

^?It seems like the bottom's burnt...

^?Ooh... That bomb looks delicious. I bet if you ate one that big, your belly would burst!

^?I won't give in to temptation. I'm gonna sit right here and not move.

^?Oh! This is SO frustrating! The floor's filled with holes, and I can't go anywhere! I wish I could fly like a Pegasus... If only I had boots that could do that!

^?Oooo... Do you ever feel like you're about to get pummeled into oblivion? If you want to get through alive, you need a Moon Pearl. Everyone knows that. I didn't know that. Not until after I'd died... In fact, that's why I died.

^?Oooo... Do you ever feel like you're about to get pummeled into oblivion? If you want to get through alive, you need a Moon Pearl. Everyone knows that. Have a friend bring one from a dark place. I didn't know that. Not until after I'd died... In fact, that's why I died.

^?Tell my wife and son back home that I miss them... Hurrrrk...

^?[sfx]What's going on? Why is the Tower of Winds beginning to collapse? Link! We have to get out quickly!

^?[sfx]The exit's nearby! Hu-Hurry!

^?[sfx]Eeek!

^?[sfx]Vaati's been defeated... and yet the air... It's so oppressive...

^?[sfx]The exit's not much farther!

^?[sfx]There's no road ahead and no way to proceed. I can see something over there, but... If only we could get there somehow...

^?We can't get anywhere like this...

^?Warning! Strong winds!

^?Urrrrr... Strike cracked blocks forcefully from above, and they'll break. You can also use the momentum of being shot from cannons to do the same. Everyone knows that. Except me. That's the first thing I learned when I got here. Didn't help me much, though... Urrrrk...

^?[sfx]There are still monsters about. If Vaati did not call them, then...who did?

^?[sfx]What is this sense of dread that fills the air?

^?[sfx]While we linger here, the tower is crumbling about us! We must hurry!

^?[sfx]The tower's collapsing... I sense a tremendous power approaching!

^?- Force Tree - This tree gives fruit to tremendous Force, or so it is said. Unify your body and spirit and strike the tree. You might be rewarded!

^?Hey, you! You don't have anything...flammable on you, do you? I set up a bomb to blow out the cliff so we could build a new road. Only problem is, I forgot to bring something to light the fuse with!

^?... ... ... What? You made the new road? That's so helpful! Thank you!

^?That new road you built has been a lifesaver! Or at least, a time-saver... I'm gonna take a quick rest, and then I'm headed for the summit.

^?I don't know why, but the location of this house is not quite right... I took out all of the furniture and stuff to move it, but... It's still so heavy! I can't move it all by myself. I bet I could move it if I could get enough people together, though!

^?Change formations with the L Button or the +Control Pad!

^?You can change formations by pressing SELECT!

^?The sandstorms grow more fierce from here on. Be careful.

^?From here on, the sandstorms are brutal. Kids like you will never make it through!

^?From here on, the sandstorms are brutal. Kids like you will never make it through! ... ... ... Eh? You've received special permission? Well, then... I've no choice, do I? Go ahead. Go on through. Remember though, the storms ahead are terrible. Be careful out there.

^?Hey! Listen up. If you have a Game Boy Advance, we recommend connecting it. We've each got a Game Boy Advance! They're great for looking in houses and stuff!

^?Oh, bad timing, boys! The bridge is closed for repairs right now. If you want to cross, you should pick up a friend and toss him to the other side!

^?All done! The bridge is fixed! If you stand on that switch over there, the bridge will lower!

^?Whoa! Look at you... You guys're identical! Say... The four of you... You're brothers? Or...friends, is that it? OK, listen up. I'm real particular about friends. Friends don't always have to be doing the same thing, you know? True friends can do their own thing and still work things out together. Just press the X Button or the +Control Pad to check up on your friends. And when you want to be with your friends again, press the L or Y Button! Sounds nice, doesn't it? I've got to get some friends of my own.

^?Whoa! Look at you... You guys're identical! Say... The four of you... You're brothers? Or...friends, is that it? True friends can do their own thing and still work things out together. Sounds nice, doesn't it? I've got to get some friends of my own.

^?Oh, so you want that rod, do you? That shadow boy was after the same thing. I hid it from him, but I think you can have it. You've been so nice to me. And besides, you look like you can be trusted with it. Take care of it, all right?

^?P[var]... C'mon now! You didn't even hit one! No prize for you.

^?[sfx]If you act now, you can smack these cute moles! Whichever one of you hits the most moles is the winner! Whaddya say? Give it a try? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]OK! Here we go! You've only got one minute, so don't waste any time. Hit the moles that are the same color as you for triple the points. But watch out for those black ones! They 'splode when you hit 'em! Ready...set...GO!

^?[sfx]Bah! You're no fun...

^?[sfx]And...STOP! Nicely done, everyone!! Let's count some moles...

^?P[var] hit [var]! Not too shabby! You win [#fg]!

^?P[var] hit [var]! That's not bad! You win [#fg]!

^?P[var] hit [var]. Hmm... Better luck next time. You win [#fg].

^?Ten seconds left! Bonus time!

^?[sfx]Here's your chance to make a big comeback! And GO!

^?[sfx]Come back anytime! These cute little moles will be waiting!

^?[sfx]OK then, that'll be 100 Force Gems. Do your best, everyone! Ready...set...GO!

^?[sfx]Hey! You don't have enough Force Gems! Move along, move along!

^?[sfx]And...STOP! Whoa! You hit more than 30 moles! You win 500 Force Gems!

^?[sfx]Oh, no. That's no good... Better luck next time!

^?[sfx]And...STOP! Nice work, everyone!! The winner is... Huh? What's this? We have a tie! Here's 500 Force Gems to split between the winners.

^?[sfx]Welcome! You've found the secret treasures-aplenty spot! With the new Scorpion S treasure-hunting shovel, you'll be rich in no time! I think I'll give you my extra-special cutie discount, too! What do you say? You have to spend money to make money! C'mon now! It's only 100 Force Gems, after all! [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]OK, listen up. If you're near any treasure, your Game Boy Advance will make a noise. When you hear it, start digging! You'll find more stuff than you can imagine! You've only got a minute though, so don't dawdle. Time is money! Get ready...

^?[sfx]Oh, how disappointing... You'll never hear another story as good as this one. You gonna deprive yourself?

^?[sfx]Whoa! Hold it right there! Time's up! Time really flies when you're diggin' for loot! My! You sure found a lot of treasure, didn't you? Tell you what--since you dug up the most, I'm going to let you keep the shovel! So keep on digging, and dig yourself a mighty fortune, you hear?!

^?[sfx]What's that? You wanna try again?!? OK, now you're being a Greedy Goron.

^?[sfx]No way! You gotta be joking! You seriously don't have 100 Force Gems? All right, we're done here. How you gonna get rich if you can't even scrape together 100 Force Gems? Come back when you're ready to get serious!

^?[sfx]You wanna see if you've got connection to Force Gems or not? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]I see. Then let me spread some Force Gems around outside. I'll give you ten arrows. You shoot 'em with your bow. Any Force Gems you hit are yours to keep. Ready... START!

^?[sfx]Then you're wastin' my time. G'wan, get outta here!

^?[sfx]That's it! All done! So? Did you feel a deep connection with the Force Gems? Ha ha ha...

^?[sfx]Hey, you've already had your shot at this! Don't be so greedy!

^?A Force Fairy! They can revive the fallen Links!

^?Force Fairy x [var]

^?[sfx]Let's go!

^?[sfx]There's a tribe of rock folk called Gorons living on Death Mountain. Like you, they're working to protect their home. I'm sure they'll come to your aid.

^?[sfx]Hopefully, we'll uncover a clue about the knights, too.

^?[sfx]That forest is empowered with the strength of light. I cannot imagine that it would be overwhelmed so easily by the darkness... If the darkness smothers the light, there must be a reason. Some mighty force...

^?[sfx]The Gerudo honor the desert. They are trustworthy and pure of heart. I cannot imagine one of them is the King of Darkness...

^?[sfx]Come on! Let's go!

^?The Force Gems transformed into fairies!

^?Hey, you have companions waiting for you outside. Gather them and come here.

^?Oh ho ho ho... Such youth... Troubled by the giants, are you? We magic users have enchanted two types of medallion. These medallions instantly alter the shape of an evil presence or make it vanish. One of these medallions is in that treasure chest there. It's one that I enchanted myself. You may use it if you like.

^?You may encounter other medals like this one at some point. They will prove useful on your journey, so take them.

^?Oh ho ho ho! At last, at last! I've done it! My lifelong dream... A moving house!!! It's made of a special light, yet sturdy, wood! And fire poses no threat at all! It's absolutely, completely fireproof! Go on and try it! The four of you, step outside and push the house. It'll move! There's one problem, though. Fill the house with furniture and it becomes too heavy to budge. That's why I've had to leave it entirely empty. It's a bit stark, but I like it!

^?Test it out! Move it around this empty field! Shove it to your heart's delight!

^?Well now, I see you've pushed it about a bit. I'm quite jealous! But why didn't I build it so one person could move it? What terrible planning...

^?[sfx]Hm? What's that girl doing out there all by herself? Link, please, you must speak with her! If she stays out there alone, she's bound to be attacked!

^?OoooOOooo... So you've wandered into this cave of no return, too, eh? If you want to escape alive, you must pull a long lever. Grab it with the R Button, then line up this way [v] and pull. That's just common sense. I was all alone, though, so I couldn't do it... I died all alone...

^?OoooOOooo... If you want to escape alive, you must pull a long lever. Grab it with the R Button, then line up this way [v] and pull. That's just common sense. I was all alone, though, so I couldn't do it... I died all alone... If you see my children back home, be sure to say hello... OoooOOoo...

^?[sfx]Gwah haa haaaa! Weaklings! Incompetent fools! You so-called heroes do not stand even a gnat's chance of harming me! Even if you worms attack in a group, I will skewer the lot of you on my mighty trident!!

^?[sfx]Hold on a moment, you! Won't you help an old lady with her diet? I'm trying to do that Ball diet everyone's on these days, but I can't do it on my own! All I need you to do is deflect the balls I toss at you. It's simple. If you're good and deflect 10 or more balls, I'll give you a tip! Well? You can't resist, can you? Give it a try! [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]Hold on a moment, you! Won't you help an old lady with her diet? I'm trying to do that Ball diet everyone's on these days, but I can't do it on my own! Will you try it with me? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]What poor manners! You need to learn some manners before you grow up, young man!

^?[sfx]Really? You'll help? We'll be doing it for one whole minute! Don't you dare quit before we're done! I'll toss a colored ball, and whoever's wearing the same color will hit it back! It'll take a little teamwork to get a good volley going, but it'll be fun, I promise! OK! I'll get us started.

^?[sfx]OK! I'll get us started. C'mon, boys! See if you can return my volleys!

^?[sfx]All done!

^?[sfx]OK! That's it, boys! [var]? That's a new record! With all that moving about, I believe this old gal's a bit thinner! For your help, I'll set up a little Force Gem fountain! Now, be fair and split them evenly amongst yourselves. Except for the one with the most misses. You get nothing! What? Who had the most misses? You did, of course!!

^?[sfx]OK! That's it, boys! [var]? That's not enough to break the record! Still, I think I can give you boys a few Force Gems for the effort. Now, be fair and split them evenly amongst yourselves. Except you! You missed too many! What? Who had the most misses? You did, of course!

^?[sfx]We had more than 10 volleys, so you get [var], as promised! Whew...hh...hh... That was a lot of work for someone my age. I'm beat. After all this exercise, I think I can eat whatever I want with no worries!

^?[sfx]We had over 10 volleys, so here are your Force Gems as I promised. Split them fairly! Hold it, P[var]! You missed a few there. Whew...hh... That was a lot of work for someone my age. I'm beat. I worked hard, so I can eat anything I want! I'll be looking for your help later on, too!

^?[sfx]I hope you boys have a good explanation for that farce! You missed every ball! For that performance, you get zero Force Gems! Come back when you're serious!

^?[sfx]Come on back anytime you want to lend me a hand!

^?[sfx]Horses are great... Strong necks... Long legs... Black, shiny torsos... They're fantastic... Horses rule! What's that? You look like you'd like to go for a ride. How can I say no to that look in your eyes? Well? Makes you want to race, doesn't it? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]The rules are simple. First one to reach the finish line's the winner! Use the +Control Pad to change directions, and the A Button to jump. If you get a carrot, you can dash for a while. Just don't try to hold your horse back! There's a tunnel midway through, so try not to lose sight of me, darling!

^?[sfx]Is that so? Well, if you don't care for horses, then we've nothing to talk about...

^?[sfx] P[var] crosses the finish line first! Ooh! Splendid!

^?[sfx]P[var] crosses the finish line first! Ooh! Congratulations! For my first-place darling, a 500 Force Gem prize! Don't forget me!

^?[sfx]Horses are great... They're fantastic, even! Horses rule! What's this? You look like you'd like to go for a ride. It's 100 Force Gems per ride. If you get a carrot, you can dash for a while. Just don't try to hold your horse back! If you can finish in under 55 seconds, you win 500 Force Gems. Well, you want to race, right? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]FINISH!!!

^?[sfx]Ride again, OK?

^?[sfx]That's no good... You have to let your love flow! I tell you what, I'll give a few Force Gems anyway!

^?[sfx]P[var] finishes! Ohhh, congratulations! You win 500 Force Gems!

^?[sfx]P[var] finishes! Ah, so close! You get 300 Force Gems!

^?[sfx]P[var] finishes! You're still a rookie! Be happy with 100 Force Gems!

^?[sfx]P[var] finishes... Ooo, you'll have to try again sometime!

^?[sfx]There are still a few Force Gems remaining, so I'll give you a second chance! Here we go!

^?[sfx]Oho! First place is... P[var]! You're so fast! You must have to run away a lot! Here, take these 500 Force Gems!

^?[sfx]And in second place... P[var]! You were so close! Here are 300 Force Gems!

^?[sfx]And in third place... P[var]! You need some work. Take 100 Force Gems!

^?[sfx]And in last place... P[var]! C'mon! I know you can do better than that. No prize for you!

^?[sfx]Here's your last chance to reverse your fortunes! Ride!

^?[sfx]Come back anytime!

^?[sfx]What's going on now? You were so bad that I hardly got any exercise at all! I don't want to hear any excuses! Get out those swords, and let's volley! [.]Yes [.]No

^?And I was going to give you a sand massage, too... Oh well! Next time!

^?I'll give you a sand massage for 100 Force Gems. What do you say? Yes No

^?If you don't give me 100 Force Gems, I don't give you a massage!

^?100 Force Gems exactly. Here's your massage! Rub rub...rub... Squeeze here... Squeeze there... Rub...rub rub... A bit more here... A bit less there... There you go! All done!

^?Hmmm... Not so good...

^?Well, it's hard to tell...

^?Now that's not bad!

^?Whew! That is fantastic!

^?To tickle my fortune-telling fancy, I'll need 100 Force Gems. ...Iddly biddly... ...Babbledy goobledy... Alakawhoopity!

^?Force Gems: [?][?][?][?] Hearts: [?][?][?][?] Total: [?][?][?][?] Your future's so bright, it almost hurts my eyes! ...Jibba jabba... ...Shoobeedoo... ...Yow! You got 300 Force Gems! What a great feeling! I'm good, aren't I?

^?Force Gems: [?][?] Hearts: [?][?] Total: [?][?] Common days... Monotonous life... It's all so ordinary... The crystal shows the same old you with no changes at all... It's a shame, isn't it? Let me do this for you. You got 1 Force Gem! And you should be thankful you even got that much! That'll hold you for a while, won't it?

^?Force Gems: [?][?] Hearts: [?][?] Total: [?][?] Common days... Monotonous life... It's all so ordinary... The crystal shows the same old you with no changes at all... It's a shame, isn't it?

^?Ohh...there! I can see it! The future... What it holds for you. It's in my crystal. For 100 Force Gems, I'll tell you what I see. OK? Yes No

^?What do you mean? Does the future...frighten you? Ah, well... Come again...

^?There's no future for those who don't have 100 Force Gems! All I see in the crystal is your empty blade!

^?Hey! What was that for!? I was trying to hide!! You're a meanie!

^?Yaaaawwwnnn... I was sleeping so soundly... Let me be, will you?

^?What is it? Do you need something?

^?You found me! Good work! And I thought that was a pretty good hiding spot!

^?I can't even believe he's a Goron... It's just shameful! Fire doesn't bug us! Listen, brother! Go give that pitiful Goron a solid thumping! Knock some sense back into his rocky head!!

^?Youngsters these days are forgetting the Hylian tongue. It's so sad... In an effort to preserve our beautiful ancient tongue, I've made a language exam. Would you like to try? Yes No Help

^?Really? So another day passes, and Hylian slips slowly into obscurity...

^?I'm going to show you some Hylian script for just 5 seconds. Remember the order of the letters and then put them back in that order later. If you make even one error, you fail! Immediately! Anyone who solves the problem correctly gets a 250 Force Gem scholarship! Come on! Try the test! Yes No

^?I really want you to take the test, but I'm operating on very limited funds... Even if you're only 1 Force Gem short, you can't take the test. My apologies.

^?That's 50 Force Gems exactly! OK, here's the Hyrulean language test!

^?That little brat, Iris! I can't believe she'd leave such a valuable book just lying around... Hey... Aren't you the lads who freed Vaati? What good timing. You know how to get to the Dark World, do you not? If you see my apprentice, a witch named Iris, please give her this book.

^?Oh...but you've got your hands full. This won't work at all.

^?You got a magic book! It's full of dubious spells!

^?So you'll deliver the book, will you? Right, then I'll leave it in your hands.

^?Whoever constructed this seal was very powerful... Be careful! Here, in exchange for helping me, let me restore your health!

^?Link, a maiden is being held in there. Use the power of the Four Sword to pierce the barrier. Hurry!

^?We're here to make sure no shady types get into the temple! You guys look like a bunch of weaklings, though. If you go in, you'll get stomped. Ah, but it's a free world... You can go get stomped if you want! Ha ha ha hah!

^?The inside of the temple is a rough place. You'll get torn up in no time! You'd better be prepared!

^?Hey! Why have you come to the Temple of Darkness? Are you here to see Lord Ganon?!

^?You'll learn how strong Lord Ganon is soon enough!

^?Lord Ganon told us to keep watch for any travelers moving in groups of four. And there are four of you, aren't there? Geh heh heh... But Lord Ganon would never be afraid of kids like you. He must mean someone else.

^?Whew... I'm beat! I've come all the way from the Lost Woods to pay my respects.

^?[sfx]Force Fairies appear from within the Four Sword!

^?[sfx]Link was revived by the power of [var]!

^?P[var] nabbed a Cucco!

^?P[var] nabbed a Bombchu!

^?P[var] nabbed a carrot!

^?P[var] nabbed a giant Cucco!

^?[sfx]Oh, I'm so hungry... I want to chow down on those fish, but I can't catch 'em! If you can get 10 or more of them in my mouth, I'll give you a reward! Do you want to try? Hm? Do you? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]I'm really famished, so you've got to do it within a minute! Ready... GO!

^?[sfx]I'm famished... Go away!

^?[sfx]Hold it!

^?[sfx]Oh, that was tasty! Here's your reward.

^?[sfx]I'm stuffed.

^?[sfx]My jaw hurts... I feel so helpless...

^?[sfx]I'm famished... Go away!

^?[sfx]I can't believe you saw me! I want to chow down on some fish, but I can't catch 'em! If you can get 10 or more of them in my mouth, I'll give you a reward! Do you want to try? Hm? Do you? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]Welcome! If you're looking for a Cucco-catching contest, this is the place for you! Wanna give it a shot? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]Too bad. Maybe next time!

^?[sfx]OK! Let me give you a brief explanation. There are a total of [var]. Throw them over this fence. Cuccos sometimes fall in holes, too, so look carefully. One of 'em's a speedy gal, but do your best to catch them, one and all!

^?[sfx]Finished! How many Force Gems you win depends on how many Cuccos you nab.

^?[sfx]P[var] caught [var], so that's [#fg]!

^?[sfx]P[var] didn't catch a single Cucco. No Force Gems for you!

^?[sfx]See you again sometime!

^?[var] more to go!

^?Look at that! You caught [var], didn't you?

^?Only [var] to go!

^?Only [var] to go!

^?[sfx]Are you gathering Cuccos? Well, there are [var] altogether. Good luck!

^?P[var] nabbed a Big Bomb!

^?P[var] nabbed an empty box!

^?3,000 Force Gems are hidden in the ancient labyrinth. It's over this way...

^?The way home is this way...

^?Thanks! See you again!

^?[sfx]Not that way!

^?You and your friends look like you're on a journey. That's what adventure's all about! Working with your pals, pooling your strength. I've nothing to teach stout lads like yourselves. Take care of each other!

^?Hello there, adventurers! Do you want to know the secret of adventuring? Of course! Nope.

^?If you don't want to know, I won't force it on you! Bye-bye, adventurers!

^?You want to know, right? I thought so. Here's the deal! Formation shortcuts! Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>]. Try it and see.

^?How was it? Did you try? Did it! Not yet.

^?Hurry up, will you? Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>].

^?So you tried them! And it's all clear, right? Perfectly! Not at all...

^?That's right! You've got it! Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>]. That's the formation shortcut technique! In formation, everyone can attack simultaneously. That's great in battle! Best of luck to you!

^?You've been initiated into the secrets of formations! Good luck on your travels!

^?Whaaaaaaaat?!? You... You don't get it? C-c-could it be? You four don't share one mind? That's right! We do!

^?Oh, so that's the deal! That explains everything! That technique is only for the legendary hero with four bodies and a single heart. It's for changing formations quickly and easily! Basically, you only use it if you're forming up! Try to remember it when you want to change formations. Press the L Button and [^], [v], [<], or [>]!

^?Whaaaaattt?!? You're joking! Or am I just not explaining this correctly? Sigh... What I wanted to say was that this lets you change formations super quickly. You got it, right? You'll remember it, right? Press the L Button and [^], [v], [<], or [>].

^?Bring me the purple guy! We'll talk then!

^?Bring me the red guy! We'll talk then!

^?... ... ... I see... Something happened to the 6 maidens that guard our world. Is that it? Your reasoning is quite amazing. We'll base our ongoing investigation upon your remarkable theory! Oh, yes! I'd like to give you something in thanks for your cooperation. Ah, but your hands are full. Come back when you're not carrying anything.

^?I'd like to give you something in thanks for helping our investigation. Come back when you're not carrying anything.

^?Hello. You've returned. Please take this token of our thanks for your help. During the course of our inquiry, we dug a secret passageway in this village. For example... Try digging by the house of pots in the southeastern part of town. You'll find a path that lets you walk to areas you normally cannot. It's handy! Take this shovel and use the passage you uncover! You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?[sfx]Hey! Hold it! Move this rock, will you? Press the R Button to lift!

^?I don't know... You look JUST LIKE that shadow guy. But your eyes! They sparkle and shine with light! I can tell just by looking into your eyes that you're not bad boys.

^?Oh, thank goodness! That stupid door was really getting on my nerves! It never occurred to me that someone might have locked it from the outside! I'm convinced it was that shadowy boy, the one who looks just like you. Strange things are happening everywhere these days. You boys watch yourselves.

^?I've started working out so I can do something about all those Octoroks out front. Still, no matter how strong I am, I'll never be able to, say, lift a huge rock alone!

^?If I had someone to help lift it, I'm sure it would be as easy as pie.

^?... ... ... ... (Looks like an old grave.)

^?[sfx]These six maidens guard the portal to the Four Sword Sanctuary to keep it safe. I'm going now to make sure Vaati's seal remains strong. Now, the shrine maidens and I must open the portal to the Four Sword's resting place. Step back, Link...

^?[sfx]Ah! Wh...who are--? It can't be... You're...Link?!

^?[sfx]This sword guards the seal on the wind sorcerer Vaati. If you draw the sword, you must know what will happen. Will you still draw forth the sword? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]So you accept the fate of the one who draws this sword? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]Link... You have accepted the destiny of the hero... Princess Zelda and the six maidens have been taken by dark forces. However, Vaati's magic has robbed the Four Sword of its power to vanquish darkness. To return the sword to its full strength, find the source of that power: Force Gems. Gather Force Gems wherever they lie, and rescue the maidens and Princess Zelda.

^?[sfx]Poppa!

^?[sfx]Oh... Malon! You're late! The rain's coming down so hard, I was beginning to worry! In fact, I'd gotten so worried that I was about to go looking for you!

^?[sfx]To tell the truth, Poppa, these young boys rescued me! The soldiers in the castle were behaving so oddly, and I couldn't get past them. They were moving the old cannons around...and they even aimed their bows at me!

^?[sfx]What? Really? That IS strange. Something must have gotten into them. What could be going on? I wonder if something's happened at Hyrule Castle. Malon, I'm just glad that you made it home safely. It sounded like a close call!

^?[sfx]My thanks to all of you for saving my poor Malon! I'd love to give you a token of my gratitude! Hmmm...let's see... I've got it! If you're going to continue your trip, you should go on horseback! Those castle guards are sure to be headed this way, and there are more ahead, too. You'll be much safer riding my swift horses, I'm sure! Our farm's right next door. We've lots of carrots around, so take some with you. Those horses love carrots! They'll come running if you've got some handy. Thank you once again! I'll never forget what you've done!

^?Thanks to all of you, I made it back home safely! I hate to admit it, but at first, I wasn't sure I could really count on you guys. But it turns out, you guys are the best! You're real heroes! I think I finally understand why you guys are friends with the green fairy. Thank you so much!

^?We're so scared that we do nothing but sit at home and stare at the walls. Oh yeah, at the bottom of the stairs in front of our house, there's a storeroom. It's full of stuff we never use, so if you see anything you need, just take it!

^?Carrots, carrots! Horses love carrots! Help yourself!

^?Carrots for horses! Help yourself! Take a carrot? Yes No

^?You got a carrot! Take it out of your crystal ball when you need a horse.

^?You don't need that now!

^?[sfx]Oh! No one hit any wrong moles! What nice people! I'm so pleased!

^?Hm? I've never seen you lads in these parts before. I'm spending my retirement teaching my grandkids all about formations. You may not believe me, but I'm a former castle guard! A professional adventurer. Formations are the key to working together and performing great deeds! If you're interested in learning more about it, go on into my backyard!

^?Listen up! Formations are the foundation upon which adventurers are made. Good formations mean good cooperation, and teamwork is the key to adventure!

^?If you're interested in formations, go out into my backyard!

^?[sfx]Cross!

^?[sfx]Long!

^?[sfx]Wide!

^?[sfx]Box!

^?[sfx]Good! Next!!

^?[sfx]Good! Last one!

^?[sfx]That's enough! That's the end of the drill! I'll give you some Force Gems for all the hard work you've done! No matter where you go or what you do, remember your formations! Your safety is my number- one concern!

^?[sfx]Enough! That's the end of the drill! That was some good work! You're still a bit slow, though, so keep practicing. No matter where you go or what you do, never forget your formations! Your safety is my number- one concern!

^?Press the L Button or the Y Button for formations!

^?Press the L Button for formations!

^?... ... ... ... ... ... Huh?!

^?You... You've saved Tingle! ... ... ... Ooo...! Th-that outfit! That aura! It's the fairy that Tingle has dreamed of... It's you!!

^?[sfx]Hey! Huddle up! When you're ready, stand in the field on the left.

^?[sfx]OK. We'll get started once you're all standing in the field on the left!

^?[sfx]Ah! It's you! Do you want to learn about formations from me? Formations are the key to working together to perform great deeds! They'll come in handy, but only if you can master them. Go stand in the field on the left, and we'll get started!

^?[sfx]OK! Looks like you're ready to get started! I'm going to drill you boys in the art of formations! And... Wait, hold it! I guess I'd better explain how this all works first! Um... I'll yell out the name of a formation! You will press the L Button or the Y Button to form up! That's it!! If you hear a formation name but don't know which it is, watch my grandkids. All right then... Here we go!

^?[sfx]Excellent! You seem well prepared. I shall now begin your formal formation training! Ready? Ten-hut! Now commencing formation drills explanation! Errr... I call out formations, and you arrange yourselves appropriately! Press the L Button to change formations! It's that simple! If you don't know formations by name, watch my grandkids for a hint. Commence formation drills!

^?Tingle Tingle Kooloo- limpah!

^?Hrmm... I haven't seen you boys around here before... I've dedicated my retirement to teaching the secret of adventuring to my grandkids. I may not look like much now, but I was once a knight in the castle. I am a skilled adventurer, a real professional! Come now. I'm sure you youngsters long for the thrill of competition... But you can't imagine the rewards of working together to accomplish a goal! My granddaughters get along fine now, but you should see 'em when I'm not looking. I figure you and my granddaughters are like birds of a feather, eh?

^?Oh, Mr. Fairy! You coming to my rescue has left me overcome with emotion! Let me thank you by sharing some thrilling Tingle news with you! The oh so Tingle-esque pastime of collecting Force Gems is all the rage now! In fact, I got stuck under here trying to get the Force Gem under this rock. But you saved me! Clearly, it was the power of the gems that led you here to me! Tingle believes without a doubt that good things come from collecting Force Gems! Why, collecting enough Force Gems may even turn Tingle into a real and true fairy! No doubt that's why you're after the Force Gems, too, isn't it, Mr. Fairy? Let's be fair about where we look and share the gems equally, Mr. Fairy! And with that, Tingle must say his farewells! ... ...Don't follow me!

^?Well? Have you mastered all the formations?

^?I don't want you to get the wrong idea about us girls. Sure, we look like we're getting along fine for now, but this is just for show! If we don't all cooperate, Grandpa gets really sad. But we all hate losing, so when he's not looking, we fight tooth and nail to win. Do you want to know the secret to winning?

^?Oh, hello there! Did you come to learn formations from my grandfather, too? If so, you can do your training over there!

^?Want to know a secret? Some people go head over heels to be the first one to get items and Force Gems! They do it by tilting the Control Stick to walk and pressing the R Button to roll. Rolling is so much faster than walking!

^?Press the L Button or the Y Button to change formations!

^?Press the L Button to change formations!

^?The bridge is out! If you just have to see what's on the other side, press and hold the B Button!

^?Press the L Button or the Y Button to change into one of four formations! ...You do understand that, right?

^?You can change into one of four different formations by pressing the L Button! You do understand that, right?

^?Oh! Hi there. You know, if you have a Game Boy Advance, you should use it. We always connect our Game Boy Advance systems! It's nice to have a little privacy when you go into a house or a cave. That's what our grandfather always says. But...what would he need privacy for?

^?Oh! Hi there. You're kind of cute! And you've got a Game Boy Advance! I always link up my Game Boy Advance! Really, it's the only way to go. ... ...Well, that's what my grandfather always tells us. Wonder what he means...

^?If you get into formation and unite your strength, you can do almost anything! You can certainly do more than any one of you could do alone.

^?Want to know a secret? Trying to be first and not letting others be first are totally different things. There are so many things out there you can't handle by yourself. Sometimes, you have to cooperate. You might want to keep that in mind!

^?Want to know a secret? If you sneak up next to your friend and press the R Button, you'll pick'm up! Then, if you press the B Button, you can use your friend to smash things! And when you don't need your friend anymore, press the R Button to throw him! Anytime my friends get in my way, I just pick them up and toss them aside!

^?Do not recklessly pick up stones and throw them by pressing the R Button!

^?Oh, this isn't good. I brought my bombs all this way, and then I dropped 'em. They went right in the lava, too. And I thought I had a good plan... I was gonna use them on the monsters around here. You should watch out for them. I mean, if they can toast me, they're sure to burn you to a crisp. Oh, hey! I can teach you an IN-credible way of dealing with those pesky things. What do you say? Would you like to hear it? You bet No, Thanks

^?Great! I'll show you! The problem is those things have skin as hard as rock. Even with my strength, it's a waste to hit them. I can't even make a dent! But then it came to me! They may be tough on the outside but weak on the INSIDE! So right when they open their mouths to breathe fire, gulp! And then... BLAMMO! What a great idea! ...But then I dropped my bombs in the lava! Ugh! I can't believe it!

^?...Huh? Are you sure? You might regret it later. Well, I won't hold it against you. If you change your mind, just come see me. All it will take is one good toasting, and you'll learn your lesson the hard way.

^?Hey, there, brother! Want to hear my great plan for slaying Dodongos? Sure No, Thanks

^?!!! Wh-What are you doing to our village?!? Hurry up and put those fires out! And then get out of our village!

^?Wait, you aren't that dark, shadowy guy, are you? But, uh, you are the one who made it rain, aren't you? ...Thank you.

^?Because of everything that's been happening in town, I want to get away for a bit. Maybe I'll go to the Eastern Palace. It's nothing like this old village. I really need a vacation, but it's always the first step that's the hardest. I mean, I can't really go anywhere until the rain stops, can I? If you're thinking of going to the palace, you'd better be careful.

^?[sfx]You must combine the strength of four into one and fight your way out!

^?[sfx]Link, those black spheres form a barrier of darkness! The darkness that Vaati created is syphoning the power from the land. If these barriers are left intact across Hyrule, Vaati will grow ever stronger. Look! Already, the green fields that once grew here have withered to dust. It is unforgivable, what he has done to the land! The power of the Four Sword can destroy the barriers! Link, you must bring your light and pierce the darkness!

^?Hey! It's you!

^?Hey! It's you! Oh, that's right. Your buddy agreed to exterminate all the beasts for us! Please thank him for me!

^?Wow! I'm surprised you're out and about, what with all the monsters around here... I asked your buddy to bring me some kind of weapon. If I just had a weapon, I could take care of every last one of those monsters!

^?Hey! I can't believe you're out with all those monsters around. You know, if I just had a weapon, I'd do something about them... But the problem is I can't even get to the shed where all our weapons are stored! Ooo! I know! Since you don't mind going outside, can you slay all the one-eyed monsters? If you do, you can use whatever you want from the storage shed.

^?Oh...but I guess you can't. You can't carry this big key around with you, can you? Well, if you drive off all the monsters, tell me, OK?

^?Will you slay the monsters? Sure No Way

^?What? Why not? Well, come tell me if you change your mind.

^?Really? Sweet! There are lots of weapons and stuff in the storage shed. I'm sure you'll find a good use for at least one of them! Take whatever you want. Just get rid of all the one-eyed monsters! Here's the key to the storage shed. Take it with you! You got a small key! Take it to the keyhole!

^?I'm counting on you to get rid of the monsters!

^?One-eyed monsters have been popping up in the field a lot lately. It's become too scary even to set foot outside! I'm too old to think about fighting them off, and my son is too cowardly...

^?Hah... I know what my son says about the weapons in the storage shed... but they're no match for the one-eyed monsters. A greater weapon may lie in the cave to the north, where my ancestors rest. But the earth there has crumbled to bits, making it impossible to get there.

^?Hmm... There must be some way to get in that cave...

^?Oh! You again? What? You slew all the monsters? Oh, thank you so much! You can see my son for your reward.

^?Finally, it's safe to go outside again. And it's all thanks to you!

^?Take this shovel in exchange for your help. You can dig holes with it! There's a spot north of our shed where there might be an underground cave. You should start digging around there and try to find it. If you have a hard time finding it, try going to the Great Fairy's fountain. The fairy there can make this a powerful shovel! You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?Hey, I gave you a shovel, didn't I? So go dig some holes with it!? Oh, wait! You've got too much stuff! Come back when you can carry something.

^?... What's that? You say you destroyed all the one-eyed monsters? That's great! Thank you! I really should reward you! Uh... Gee... What can I give you... ... Umm... You're headed to Hyrule Castle? ...Oh! I know! There's this giant tree that's blocking the path to the castle... But I dug a huge passageway so I could get into the castle. Once I was done with it, I sealed it up, but you could dig it open if you wanted.

^?The passage to the castle should be somewhere north of our storage shed. There's nothing but dirt up there, so just keep digging until you find it. If you have a hard time finding it, try going to the Great Fairy's Fountain. If you ask the Great Fairy for help, she'll turn this into a better shovel.

^?Hey! Your buddy told me all about it! You know... About how you guys got rid of all the monsters? Now, you guys are going to Hyrule Castle, right? Well, you should know that a giant tree's blocking the path to the castle... But I dug a huge passageway so I could get into the castle. Once I was done with it, I sealed it up, but you could dig it open if you wanted.

^?What's that? You need a shovel? No problem! I'll give you one. The passage to the castle is somewhere north of our storage shed. There's dirt everywhere up there, so just dig around. You should find the hole. If you have trouble, though, you can go to the Great Fairy's Fountain. If you ask the Great Fairy, she'll turn this into an incredible shovel. You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?I'll give you a shovel, so just empty your hands, and you can have it.

^?Whoa! Oh, whoa! That big ol' house just moved! Yeah, all those stakes stuck around the house were such a pain. But now that they're gone I can just push that house around all I want!

^?Oh, not good! Someone built a house here while I was gone. That was fast! It's covering the hole I buried my most precious belonging in... If there were just some way to move that house aside...

^?Gah! And I went to all that trouble to plant stakes so my house couldn't move! Sheesh! What kind of vicious grudge would make someone do this to me? This was an empty lot when I built my house, so why would anyone be mad at me?

^?H-Hey! Did you see one of those Gorons out front? I don't know what he's thinking, but he's been shaking my house like crazy! I planted stakes outside to hold my house in place, but that guy is stupid strong.

^?I'm Secret Agent One, of the Seeker's Guild! I'm guarding this here place to make sure this mage don't do anything...er...wicked. If you're looking for our leader, he should be in that building there. There's a secret entrance on the side. Go right on in and see him!

^?I am Secret Agent Two! I'm not supposed to move from this spot right here. But I can't say any more than that to anyone outside of our...secret guild. But I CAN ask for some help. The guild bylaws say nothing about that. If you feel up to it, go see our head office. It's north of here.

^?I'm Secret Agent Three! I'm in the middle of a serious investigation. We're looking for a particular person. I can't tell you any more about it. If you're interested in what we're doing, go see our boss in our office west of here.

^?Shh! Keep it down, will ya? I'm on a stakeout! Call me Secret Agent Four. If you want to help out, go inquire back at our office. There's a throng of people blocking the door, though, so you probably can't go in.

^?It looks to me like you have some pretty capable friends. If you bring your friends here to talk, I can point you in the right direction.

^?If you can sense the Moon Gates, you might be able to save our town.

^?... Incredible! You can sense the Moon Gates? Then perhaps you can save our village! ...Take a Moon Pearl to the spot where you sensed the Moon Gate. Then, the path you must follow will open.

^?Huh?!? Where'd you come from!? I'm not used to kids appearing out of nowhere! No, kids around here usually just vanish! The whole town is in an uproar about it. Guys from the Seeker's Guild are looking into it in the northwest part of town.

^?There's always a huge line at the Seeker's Guild in the northwest part of town. You look awful young. You'd better be careful. I don't want you to disappear, too!

^?Oh! Travelers! Listen! Calamity has befallen our town! First whirlwinds, and then mages! What are we to do? We need one who can sense the Moon Gates... So if you run across anyone who can do that, well... Be sure to let me know, OK?

^?This world is like a darkened mirror of your own... It looks familiar, but in truth it is very different. Much like you four... Eee hee hee hee hee!

^?... Incredible! You can sense the Moon Gates? ...Then perhaps you can save our village!

^?If you can sense the Moon Gates, you might be able to save our town.

^?Oh! Travelers! Listen! Calamity has befallen our town! First whirlwinds, and then mages! What are we to do? We need one who can sense the Moon Gates... So if you run across anyone who can do that, well... Be sure to let me know, OK?

^?Oh! Thank you so very much! I mean, this is all thanks to you, isn't it? My house suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and when I went inside, she was here! Honestly, there are not enough words in the world to tell you how grateful I am! I will never forget you, no matter how long I live!

^?Thank you! I'm so happy for all that you've done for us! Not only did I make it back to this world, but we also made up again! I just hope the rest of the villagers can get help soon, too...

^?Then take this Moon Pearl! You got a Moon Pearl! This mysterious gem guides its bearer into the Dark World. Carry it with the R Button, and study things that catch your eye.

^?Come see me when you carry nothing. Then I shall give you the Moon Pearl I found.

^?Hey! Let's gamble. You won't get into any trouble! Risk 100 Force Gems and see if you can get more! [.]OK [.]No Way

^?You guys used a Moon Pearl, didn't you? ...I swear! That guy there has been staring at me for quite a while now. Who does that insolent lout think he is? That's just rude!

^?Whoa there! No cutting in! If you want people to treat you like an adult, you'd better learn some manners!! To the back of the line with you!

^?Oh! Hello. I'm actually a Seeker, too. I'm in the guild and everything! All the people lined up here are the parents of the children who have vanished. Of course, we're looking into it, but we don't have time to talk to everyone! That's why I'm here. I'm pretending to be in line, but I'm really just blocking the entrance. It's important work!

^?Approach with a Moon Pearl, and the path you are to follow will reveal itself.

^?Approach with a Moon Pearl, and the path you are to follow will reveal itself. I see you are in the company of some rather capable friends. If you bring your friends here to talk, I can point you in the right direction.

^?Eee hee hee hee hee! The girl here has vanished, too. No doubt she is trembling in fear even now!

^?I don't know much about the guild, but watching over us is a waste of time! But let them play cops and robbers if they like! Eee hee hee hee hee hee!

^?You're the boy who awoke Vaati, aren't you? Thank you very much! You've made the world a better place for our kind!

^?You want a Moon Pearl? I suppose it's the least I can do after everything you've done for me. You got a Moon Pearl! This mysterious gem guides its bearer into the Dark World. Carry it with the R Button, and study things that catch your eye.

^?I'd like to thank you, but you'll have to come back when your hands are free.

^?Oh. It's you. If you're looking for a reward, I gave it to your friend. But you're all together, right? So it doesn't matter who gets it! Heh heh heh!

^?Well, good luck, kid! Eee hee hee hee!

^?You're the boy who awoke Vaati, aren't you? Thanks! You've made it a better world for all of our kind to live in!

^?My name's Iris! I'm an apprentice magician. I lost my magic book, and now I don't have the magic to get back home. I was so mad that...I shrunk this house! Er... Accidentally... Sorta... I can't believe it! Where could I have left it?

^?Would you like my heart? Yes No

^?Really? You do? Then... My heart is yours...if you can catch it! You got a Heart Container! Your life energy increased, and your hearts were replenished!

^?Oh... How sad...

^?Please... Don't break my heart!

^?Hmph! You probably like that girl more than you like me, don't you!?!

^?Hmph! Too late! My heart already belongs to another!

^?Oh! My dear. Don't be greedy! What are you holding? If you want my heart, your hands must be free to catch it!

^?Do you want to burn with my flames of passion? Yes No, Thanks

^?Goodness! Really? Then get set to feel the burning of my passion! You got a Fire Rod! It's a magic staff that shoots out flames! Press the A Button to fire a ball of fire. Hot! Hold the A Button longer to let loose a burst of flame!

^?Hmph! Fine. Whatever.

^?Well? Doesn't that just set your heart afire?

^?Hmph! Another girl, huh? If she's so great, why don't you just run off with her?

^?Oh, too bad. I already burn for another man!

^?Aren't you shameless! What's that in your hand? If you're serious about me, you'll have to throw everything else away!

^?That's the spirit! OK, now you can open whichever treasure chest you want!

^?Wow! Talk about a boring guy! Maybe we can play later?

^?Come on! You don't even have 100 Force Gems! Don't start thinking you can rip me off just 'cuz I'm a kid!

^?Umm, I'm kind of tired, so we're closed! Come back when I'm...less tired.

^?Sheesh! How long am I going to have to wait here?!?

^?My only daughter has vanished! Someone has to look for her! Now!!!

^?My husband and I came here to request an inquiry. I wonder if such a small guild from such a small town can handle such a big task.

^?Huh? Who, me? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just here looking around. I just...saw a huge line and figured it must be for something good!

^?Ohh... My poor, darling grandson. Gone... This whole experience has been awful! I came to ask the guild members for help.

^?What's going on here! This line isn't moving at all! If this keeps up, I'm going to make them investigate my case for free!

^?I'm going to ask the Seeker's Guild to let me join them. If they made me a Secret Agent, I'd solve all these people's problems pronto!

^?Hey! No cutting! What, you expect me to believe you just want to get to the other side? Yeah, right! That's what the Cucco said! Well, you're not gonna fool me!

^?Isn't that girl in front of me cute? There's no way I'm letting you block my view!

^?Heavens! Such a cute little boy! ...What are you doing with such a big sword?

^?When is it finally going to be my turn? This is awful! I don't care how long it takes, but I'm not getting out of this line!

^?Uhh... Please! Someone make this line move faster. I really have to go! ...Huh? This isn't the line for the bathroom?

^?Ugh! It's just like my dolt of a son to cause me so much trouble!

^?That lady in front of me is scary. If I were her kid, I might not want to come home.

^?I'm pretty, and I have a pure heart, just like a little kid. I came out here to see if maybe someone could kidnap me!

^?I feel like I've been standing here forever. It's tough on an old woman...

^?It looks like even that girl who was crying has cheered up a little. But she has a boyfriend... It's kind of sad.

^?Being trapped in that strange world made us a little crazy.

^?Now that we're back safely, I feel a little stupid about our petty rivalry.

^?You guys saved our village! I guess my eyes weren't that messed up after all!

^?Aaaaah... I'll never take the fresh, outside air for granted ever again!

^?I can't believe I'm hearing this! Just when I thought everything was normal again! Oh! You're the one who saved the kids, aren't you? Thank you so much!

^?Thanks to you guys, me and my boyfriend are getting along great again! And we've promised to be nice to each other from now on! Thank you so much!

^?Hey, it's you guys! It's me! You know, Secret Agent One! I just wanted to thank all of you on behalf of my boss, who's just too darned busy. This whole time, we thought it was the mages... But it was just a misunderstanding. If it weren't for you guys, we never would have cracked this case. We owe you big! We'd really like you guys to stay here in the village and join our guild. But we understand you can't, so we won't try to force you to stay. But good luck out there! I know you'll pull through, whatever you're doing!

^?I was able to return safely thanks to you guys bringing me my book! Of course, my teacher gave me quite an earful for misplacing it...

^?Thanks to you, all of the town's children have been returned! We're so happy! Thanks for everything you've done!

^?Just playing all the time leaves me feeling a little empty inside. I'm gonna do my chores and study hard to make playing much more enjoyable!

^?Incredible! Miraculous! You got 300 Force Gems!!!

^?Digging holes in woods this big is tough work when your shovel's been taken away. We move four times as fast in Deku Scrub formation though, so it'll be a breeze. You know, I doubt anyone else could come up with such a cunning plan!

^?Thanks to Ganon, we were awakened from our slumber!

^?The Lost Woods is our birthplace! If you wander lost here for too long, you too can become a Deku Scrub!

^?Uh-oh! I forgot about the hole I dug as a joke the other day... I'll need to sneak away later, grab a shovel, and look for it...

^?I captured the Great Fairy so that if someone steals my shovel... he won't be able to power it up!

^?Where the heck did Decci go!? That slacker should try helping out once in a while!

^?Soon, Lord Ganon's power will change all of Hyrule's forests into Lost Woods! Once that happens, we'll be able to travel freely!

^?Gwee hee! I locked up the shovel and hid the key to keep strangers from finding it! And let's not forget my impeccable work guarding it personally! There's no way anyone will ever get their hands on the shovel!

^?Make sure that all who enter the forest remain here! Lord Ganon's orders! But we're trying to build an underground road that will let us go anywhere... Anyway, we've hidden every single shovel we could find! If there are no holes, no one will ever find our road. We're absolutely brilliant!

^?Ah... I love darkness. It's so soothing, so relaxing.

^?-Deku Scrub Bulletin Board- If you're not a Deku Scrub, stop reading! Now!!! When you're done with the key used to lock the place where we hid the shovels, be sure to put it back where you got it from!

^?You got 1 Force Gem! Every little bit counts!

^?You got 5 Force Gems! Collect more!

^?You got 20 Force Gems! The swords are gaining power!

^?You got 50 Force Gems! You're feeling brave now!

^?You got a letter! Don't be nosy and read it! And don't you dare eat it!

^?You got a blue bracelet! You feel like you're stronger than steel! Damage is now reduced by half!

^?You got a Bombos Medallion! Toss it into an area swarming with enemies!

^?You got a Quake Medallion! Throw it with the R Button to cause an earthquake!

^?[sfx]I am the Knight of Hyrule charged with guarding the blue royal jewel. To my shame, I fell under the sway of dark powers and was transformed into a base creature of magic. The jewel was also cursed, and it became a portal to the Dark World. I am sorry for the citizens of Hyrule who suffered... and for Princess Zelda! I trust that you are going to the Realm of the Heavens and the Palace of Winds. However, you must first gather the royal jewels to reveal the path to the Tower of Winds. There are three other guardian knights. I fear they too have been changed. Free them from their dark curses and retrieve the jewels! The light must return to Hyrule! I entrust you with the blue royal jewel. And with it, I place in your hands the hopes of all Hyrule!

^?[sfx]Bearer of the Four Sword. I am the Knight of Hyrule charged with guarding the green royal jewel. The Four Sword was the seal to Vaati's prison. If you have it, that means the seal has been broken. Yet the one who enshrouded me in darkness was not Vaati! It was... Ah! If the one who enchanted me and turned the jewel into a dark portal wanted Vaati restored... His goal must be to use Vaati to remake Hyrule into a land of darkness. Listen to me, heroes. You must never forget that Vaati is not the only foe you face. I will follow my brother knight's lead and entrust to you this green royal jewel. Now go! You and the Four Sword!

^?[sfx]I am the Knight of Hyrule charged with guarding the red royal jewel. Hear now the doom of the knights. We were bested by a foe with a mighty weapon. He cast us into the Dark World, where we and the jewels were lost in shadow. The Tower of Winds vanished, and I... No, WE servants of the crown were turned into monsters! The man that defeated us is also the same man who created that shadowy imp. A man from the desert wastes... He is not Vaati. Your dark twin was sent by him to trick you into breaking Vaati's seal. I wonder where the fiend got the amazing power he now wields. It matters not! None of this allows me to aid Princess Zelda. And yet I cannot go on... Brave ones...I entrust the red royal jewel to you. You now possess three of them. Obtain the fourth, and bring light back to the Realm of the Heavens!

^?[sfx]Heroes! You've done well to get this far... I am the Knight of Hyrule charged with guarding the purple royal jewel. Thanks to you, we have been freed from the dark spells that bound us. You must now take the four royal jewels past this ice-bound temple and fly to sacred grounds! Then you can enter the tower leading to the Palace of Winds, where Vaati lurks. Deep within the palace, which soars above the Realm of the Heavens, a terrible darkness awaits you all. Yet if you do not dispel that darkness, true peace will never return to Hyrule. The fate of Princess Zelda-- and all of Hyrule--rests in your hands!

^?You've got promise. That's why you should become Deku Scrubs!

^?We're busy getting rid of things in the woods that are bad for Deku Scrubs. This is the dumping ground. No one's allowed here except for magical creatures!

^?If you want to help, you've got to ask Dekki! Dekki's around somewhere. He likes dark places, so go find him yourself!

^?Don't dawdle! Bring it here!

^?Grrrrrr! That's not what you were supposed to bring! You're useless! You're fired!!

^?OK! That's one down! Now hurry up and bring the next one!

^?All right, that's number two! Just one more to go!

^?That's all of them! Your job's finished! Now give Dekki the good news!

^?You've been fired, so scram! Now!

^?There's nothing left for you to give me! Get going and report to Dekki!

^?Hm. You're not a Deku Scrub, so why are you even here? Do you wanna help us? Yes No

^?Pfeh! I'm busy here! I don't have time for your nonsense! G'wan, get outta here!

^?Boy, oh, boy! Took you long enough! If you want to work, all you have to do's say so! Hey! What's going on? Hey! Do you want some work? Yes No

^?Really? Is that so? That's a big help! I was in deep trouble, 'cuz there weren't enough Deku Scrubs! Now, uh...were you the one who's going to help?

^?I see... Just you, huh? Jeez, I got 50 guys helping me, you know?! I'm just saying you should have a helper... or two...or three. Oh, whatever. C'mon, let's just get started.

^?Two, huh? That'll do fine. The two of you are gonna work your tails off, 'K? We're busy, so go on and get started! I'm makin' you the leader, so go and lead! All right, time to get busy. Work work work!

^?A trio is it? That usually means two against one, you know? While you're here alone, the other two are off taking care of things! Heh heh! Look, I'm busy, so just get to work, will ya! I'm naming you the leader of this motley trio, so do your part and watch your pals! OK, it's time to start working!

^?There are four of you! Let me guess, you wanna get done fast and loaf around. Whatever... Just get going, will ya? I'm naming you the leader of this motley quartet. Do your part and watch your pals! All right, time to get to work. Go on! Get busy!

^?You ready? I'm gonna name three items, and I want you to remember each of 'em! I ain't repeating myself!! Then you go into the woods, nab 'em, and bring 'em back. And in order, you hear!?

^?1. Stone 2. Oil pot 3. Bomb

^?Tell your pals to get the items IN THAT ORDER over to Deppi in the other world. You make any mistakes, and you're fired! Now, get movin'! Time's a-wastin'!

^?So tell your pals to take the items I just said in the order I said over to Deppi. Don't forget, you have to bring them in order! If you make a mistake, you're fired! Now go on! Get to work!

^?Cut out all the chatter while you're on the job! Show some control!

^?Nice work! You're not as worthless as you look, you know that? That's it! Job's done! You did well, so I'm gonna give you a special reward! A Power Bracelet! Put this on, and you can move even the heaviest things! You equipped a Power Bracelet! You feel like you can lift anything!

^?Hey, you can't come in here! This ain't open to the public!

^?... ... ... Hm...so you're a new member of the Seeker's Guild, are you? Let me tell you about the clues our investigation has turned up so far.

^?This odd little mage whispered this to me: "The six..." I'm sure it's connected to this incident somehow! Don't you forget it!

^?Bring me green! Then we can talk!

^?... ... ... Oh, so now you're a member of the Seeker's Guild?! Well then, why don't you listen to the clues I've gathered so far!

^?A weird mage is lurking somewhere back here... I can sometimes hear her talking to herself, and this is what she says: "Deeply connected to this village..." That is most definitely a clue! Go and report this to the chief!

^?... ... ... What was that? You're...a brother of the Seeker's Guild? I see... Well then, listen to the information I've gathered.

^?An apprentice mage disappeared somewhere around here. POOF! Right when she vanished, she whispered something... "Protect..." Now that's suspicious! You would do well to lock that away in your head!

^?... ... ... Oh, so you're here to help with the investigation? That's welcome news! Well then, listen to what I have to tell you!

^?Bring me the blue guy! Then we'll talk!

^?Bring me the green guy! Then we'll talk!

^?Look! The mage is over there, right? I was hiding over here, watching her, when I heard her call out suddenly... She said, "Beautiful!" Suspicious, isn't it? Maybe it's part of a spell or something! What's she up to?

^?Hmph! You spotted the entrance. You have a keen eye. This is the office of the legendary Seeker's Guild. We're investigating the sudden appearance of those suspicious mages. We've reason to believe they may be connected to the vanishing children. What do you say? You seem talented enough. Care to help us out? Yes No

^?Oh, really... Too bad. We're shorthanded and in a bit of a bind. If you change your mind, stop by anytime!

^?Oh, you'll help?! That is spectacular! There's something I need you to do right away. Four of our brothers are in the village investigating the weird mages. They must have found some clues by now. Go and speak to the four of them and see what clues they've found so far. The key to this mystery's bound to be in those clues. One of the brothers should be right out here to the left. You have your orders!

^?Oh, it's you! So you've decided to help us Seekers after all. Yes No

^?How's it going? Is the investigation coming along nicely?

^?One of our members should be right out this door and to the right. Come on back when you've gotten clues from all four brothers!!

^?I'm sorry, but I just don't see the connection... Why don't you think about this some more and let me know what you find?

^?Oh, it's you. And you've heard the clues gathered by all our members. ... ... ... Hm...yes...I see... Those strange mages... Yes, that does seem odd... What do you believe the mages' words refer to? Zelda Seekers Maidens

^?You'd think that racing would be more fun, but... I don't know, I'm bored...

^?Is that so... Let me ask you again. What do you think the words of the mages refer to? Zelda Seekers Maidens

^?I said I'd give you these boots, so you've got to wear them! Put 'em on! What else can I do? Here, take these! You got Pegasus Boots! Press the A Button to run with the grace of a winged horse! You know, it might be kind of fun to get a running start and ram into stuff!

^?I said I'd give you these boots, so you've got to wear them! Put 'em on! But, oh, wait... You can't take these while your hands are full. Come get the boots when your hands are free!

^?Ah, it's you! Well, have you come to a conclusion? Yes No

^?This may prove to be the key to this whole case. Think it through slowly!

^?... ... ... Of course... Something's happened to the six beautiful maidens that protect the shrine... That's it, isn't it? Your powers of deduction are truly magnificent! We'll use your findings to continue our investigation! Oh, yes... As thanks for your help, I'd like to give you something. During the course of our inquiry, we dug up a hidden passageway. Try digging by the house of pots in the south- eastern part of the village. You should find a path that will take you to places otherwise unreachable. You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?Hello. So tell me, is your shovel coming in handy? There's a hidden path near the house of pots down to the southeast. Use it to go places normally unreachable. Dig yourself an entrance to the passage!

^?Hi there! How's the investigation coming along? Everything going smoothly?

^?Lousy mages... What are they up to?

^?Hmmm... We've looked all over, but we just can't find that mage's missing student. How did she vanish? Where did she go?

^?A girl was supposed to be living here, but there's just this strange mage here. ...Where'd the girl go?

^?[sfx]We spend all of our time here running and racing! There are no adults, so we play and play all day long! If you can reach the goal within 20 seconds, I'll give you some amazing boots! Give it a try? Yes No

^?[sfx]What? Are you chicken? These boots can make you a racing expert, you know! Let me know if you change your mind!

^?[sfx]I thought so! Let me explain how this works! The rules are a breeze! All you have to do is reach the goal! Go talk to my friend at the end of the maze. If you get there within 20 seconds of starting, you win! OK, here you go... Ready... GO!

^?[sfx]Too bad... Maybe you can try again sometime! I'm a little busy now, but come talk to me later!

^?C'mon, hurry! You won't make it if you waste time chattering!

^?[sfx]So you want the boots after all, do you? Yes No

^?I've got to get ready. Come talk to me after a bit.

^?[sfx]Came back to have another go at it, did you? Yes No

^?GOAL! Your time is... !

^?Oh, too bad! Try again later!

^?Congratulations! The boots are over here. Follow me! Oh, and a little advice for you... You'll get back more quickly if you break those cracked blocks over there!

^?Try again!

^?Use the boots to race around to your heart's delight!

^?How come the shop next door is getting all that business? I just remodeled my place and everything! People should be flocking here! I'm trying to get people excited, so I'm standing in line for my own store! And I'm not budging!

^?This road splits one fate into two. Welcome to the dungeon of mystery! Those who wish to try their luck for items start here. If you're just here for the sight-seeing, exit this way.

^?I'm not helping you anymore!

^?Look at that! Found a pit, did you? Probably nothin' in there but a thief, I'm guessing.

^?[sfx]The red shrine maiden's in trouble! The Mirror! The Dark Mirror!

^?[sfx]The white maiden? I'm worried about the mirror, too. Who could've stolen it? And what of the other shrine maidens? Has Princess Zelda been rescued?

^?[sfx]The whereabouts of the purple maiden and the princess are still... We still have no clear idea of who stole the mirror.

^?[sfx]However, there is something that disturbs me. When those...things...first entered my woods, they spoke of their dark lord. "Ganon, Ganon," they chanted. It was as though they were...worshipping.

^?[sfx]Ganon... I've heard that name before. No, wait... It was Ganondorf... But, no... That man was of the Gerudo tribe. I can't imagine these creatures worshipping some desert nomad. There's a Gerudo village in the desert. I doubt there is any connection, but it cannot hurt to check the village. Beyond the village lie ruins and an ancient pyramid. They are so old that no living creature knows very much about them. All I can tell you is that no one who sets foot in the pyramid ever returns. If one of the maidens is there, I fear for her safety.

^?[sfx]Link... Despite all of this, we must go there. Let us be on our way! To the endless desert sands!

^?[sfx]Link! You've come to my aid? You came to this pyramid of no return just to rescue me? Oh, thank you, Link! ...Princess Zelda? Is this true? So she's still in the clutches of those creatures? My sisters, show yourselves please.

^?[sfx]... ... ... ... ...Ah! Link?! Is that you? And the shrine maidens! You're all safe... I'm so relieved. Link, I'm in the Tower of Winds. This is no longer the tranquil road to the Realm of the Heavens. Vaati's underlings have turned it into a frozen fortress. Hurry, Link! Vaati's power grows ever stronger, even as we speak...

^?[sfx]Ah! Princess Zelda!

^?[sfx]Link... You've returned to where you started, the Four Sword Sanctuary. Now, give us the four royal jewels...

^?[sfx]Hear me, heavens... Hear me, earth... Heed the light of the royal jewels enshrined here, and restore to us... the Tower of Winds!!

^?[sfx]Link! Climb the tower. You are entrusted with Princess Zelda's safety!

^?Would someone do something about that woman? She's blocking the door! I tried asking, but she just won't budge. I guess I could try shoving her... She looks kinda...heavy, though. I doubt anyone could do it alone.

^?Hey! You got that woman out of the way. Thanks!

^?I want to go into that shop, but I can't get by...

^?I'm glad I can finally get into the shop, but...I'm not sure I want to go in. Mostly, I'm just afraid that woman will block the door again, and I'll be trapped!

^?What do you want?! I'm in line here! What do you think you're doing?! You're probably spying for that shop next door, aren't you! Well, beat it! Scram!

^?[sfx]We'll work together to find Princess Zelda! Let our six hearts be one... Now let us call to her!

^?[sfx]The Tower of Winds!! She is trapped in the Tower of Wind, which has now vanished from Hyrule... Accursed Vaati! The princess is in danger! Link! Quickly, you must get the last royal jewel and bring back the tower! You heroes have crossed Hyrule and gathered three of the jewels. There's only one place left to search. Frozen Hyrule, where the power of darkness keeps spring at bay... The last royal jewel must be there! No matter the cost to us, Princess Zelda must be rescued!! Hurry, Link!

^?[sfx]But why? I'm sure the green fairy would take me! And you're friends with the green fairy, so you must be a good kid. Please! Take me home! Yes No

^?[sfx]Oh, great! Thanks! My name's Malon! I'm from the Lon Lon Ranch right up the road. It's not very far... Thanks, again!

^?[sfx]Um, excuse me... Were you just talking to...a green fairy? I saw it! There was a beautiful fairy fluttering around you! Amazing! What Poppa told me really is true! He said that good boys and girls get to meet fairies! Like today! I was coming home after running errands but...I couldn't get back. I mean, it started raining, and the castle guards were moving all the cannons... The cannons are really old, and they're not meant to be used... It was really weird. Say, if you're all going on ahead, take me with you! You're friends with the green fairy, so of course it's OK, right? Yes No

^?Oh, come on? Who thinks it's right to go digging up someone else's property!? Absolutely inexcusable!

^?Dearest, we've been married now for 56 years, and you've always been so good to me. After I'm gone, please don't let yourself be too sad for too long. If you get lonely, get yourself a cute Cucco as a pet. If you do, perhaps you'll be able to forget some of your sorrow. Good-bye, old timer. We'll meet again one day.

^?Did you see the fields outside? Crazy, huh? Monsters everywhere. I bought a vicious dog to protect me, but... it's a little TOO vicious. In fact, I'm too scared to go near it right now. It's tied to a stake outside, and I really need to set it free. All I have to do is break the stake, but I'm afraid to go near that dog!

^?Darn it! Where'd he go! It's a disgrace! Since when is a Goron afraid of fire!? We've been looking for him everywhere. I bet he buried himself again. What are we going to do? He still has the key...

Volume 2

Strange days have arrived in the village as one child after another disappears. Tingle bets that they're all ditching school, no doubt playing some charming game. Oooh! Tingle wants to play, too! If you discover the kids' whereabouts, play awhile for Tingle's sake! Search 'til your eyes are bloodshot and weary!

^?Sniff...sniff... Someone...please... Take my letter to...him... Is there no one who will carry my letter? ...Waaaah!

^?Awesome! You found this secret world, too? Did you notice that there are only kids here? All we do is play and play! No one wants to go home! Not even me! No, sir! Except...the girl in the house with the red roof is always crying. I wonder if she doesn't like it here.

^?It's so much fun here! I wonder why that girl does nothing but weep. Don't even bother talking to her. She's no fun.

^?Please! Save my girlfriend!

^?... ... ... What did you say? Is that a letter from my sweetie? Let me see it! Hmm...uh-huh... Oh...ah.... I'm so relieved. My sweetie's OK! But she was attacked by a giant tornado and a dark shadow that kidnapped her. Can she be rescued? Hey, you! Do something, please! Sweetie gave me this feather as a good-luck charm... You can have it if you help her! It's great! You'll feel like a bird as you jump around light as a...uh...feather. You can even bound over giant holes! This is all I have left...

^?At the very least, I want him to know I'm OK.

^?What?! You delivered it? That's so nice! Thank you. Was he... Was he angry? ... ... ... Oh...that's good. I don't know when, but someday I'll get out of here and return to him. I will!

Tingle

^?What's going on here? This used to be one of the best places to meet people. I thought I'd just mingle for a bit, but this joint's as empty as my wallet! Hm... But I don't really want to go next door, either. That strange mage's been over there reading that book of hers forever. Weird!

^?I promise I will make that fiend regret what he has done!

^?What's he trying to prove? Tossing giant bombs around like that is dangerous. I didn't even know they made bombs that big! Those just can't be good. If you value your life, you'd better flee when you see one of those things. Oh, and one more thing: you and that mad bomber are like two peas in a pod. You're practically identical twins! What's up with that? HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!

^?There's been this weird bird up on top of Death Mountain a lot lately. It flies around the peak day after day. It's huge! And that mask it's wearing! I've never seen anything so scary! If you go ask my dad, I'm sure he'd crack that mask for you.

^?Hey, boy! None of your mischief near that tomb!

^?It's dangerous out. You shouldn't be wandering around. This shadowy guy has been stirring up trouble lately. Actually, he looks like you! My name's Dampe. I'm supposed to be the caretaker at this here graveyard. Only I can't take care of a single thing right now. I'm helpless!!! These creatures, they are so pleased. They treat our world like their new home. Listen up, boys. Legends speak of a mirror in which a dark tribe was sealed away long ago. I understand it's supposed to be hidden now somewhere in the Forest of Light. The forest's been covered by pitch-black clouds recently. It's a Forest of Dark now. Yep, no mistake about it... Something bad's a-brewin' there.

^?I came to visit my departed wife's grave. Then she showed up, saying she came to visit MY grave... I wish someone would tell me which one of us is the ghost and which isn't!

Tingle had an encounter with a charming lady fairy! It was fate! Destiny! I was sneaking along behind her when she went into a castle...and never came out!

^?There's an area near the one-eyed giants called Hebra's Hill. People say that those who enter that region wander lost for all eternity. If you simply meander about with no goal in mind, you'll never reach the summit. You must press on, always focused on your sole intent: to reach the peak!

^?To reach Hebra's Hill, press on straight ahead.

^?Hebra's Hill

^?[v] Rest area ahead.

^?OooOOooooOoo... Someone...who looked just like you...did this to me. If you're looking to defeat him, check his tunic... You can't hit him if you're not wearing the same color. It's common sense... I'd guessed as much from the start, but he still got the best of me...

^?If you want to beat your look-alike, check the color of his clothes... You can't touch him if you're not wearing the same color. That's common sense. I guessed as much from the start, but he still got me... Say hi to my grandkids back home... OoooOOOOoooo...

^?Shooting folks out of my homemade cannon's my hobby! Hey! You wanna go for a ride? Well, climb on in and press the A Button. You shoot right up like a human cannonball! If you wanna leave, press [^] or [v] at one of the exits!

^?Climb on in the cannon and press the A Button to shoot up like a human cannonball! If you wanna leave, press [^] or [v] at an exit! C'mon, time to fly!

^?Urrk urrrk... You...have friends... I'm jealous... If you have friends, you can toss 'em across chasms... I never had any friends. You're a lucky guy... Urrk urrrk...

^?You've gathered enough Force Gems! The Four Sword is glowing with power! Press and hold the B Button until the tip of your blade flashes, then Spin Attack!

^?Is it necessary? [.]Trade [.]Forget it

^?Welcome!

^?If you have Force Gems, the source of all magic, you can trade them for items.

^?You don't have enough to make that trade... Sorry, but you can't have it.

^?Ho ho ho. Think about it!

^?Let's trade then.

^?... ... ... ...

^?I will soothe your wounds and comfort your weariness.

^?Let me aid you on your way.

^?You got a level 2 slingshot! Press and hold the A Button to charge, then release to fire in 3 directions!

^?You got a level 2 Fire Rod! Now, it can make blocks and moving platforms! A regular rod won't do for you... This one's special!

^?You got a level 2 Magic Hammer! Its impact shockwave is even bigger now! How far does it go?!?

^?You got a level 2 boomerang! It's a new, faster model! You'll make all the other adventurers SO jealous!

^?You got a level 2 bow! It shoots 3 arrows in a row with blazing speed! It comes with unlimited arrows, too!

^?[sfx]Press and hold the B Button until the tip of your blade flashes twice, then let go!

^?You equipped a Power Bracelet! You feel like you can lift anything!

^?All I can do is relieve your weariness.

^?You got level 2 bombs! They're...huge! I can't wait to see 'em blow up!

^?You got a level 2 Roc's Feather! Double jumps are so cool! Fly, fly away!

^?You got level 2 Pegasus Boots! You're so fast, you can even run over holes!

^?Such determination for one so young! I've got a task for one with your tenacity. If you catch a Cucco and bring it to my house, I'll give you a grand reward!

^?Her last wish was that I adopt myself a pet Cucco. What a little cutie...

^?... ... ... ... ... Darling... What will I ever do without you...

^?... ... ... ... ... Ah, what an adorable Cucco. It warms my old heart. After my wife passed on, I was prepared to spend the rest of my days alone... But now that I've seen that Cucco... Would you...let me take care of it for you? I'll give you this key, and you can even take as many Force Gems as you like. If I have that Cucco by my side, I won't need anything else.

^?Looks like peace and quiet will return to our village. No need for me to look out my window for thieves anymore. What a relief! And we have you to thank for all of this!

^?I've built a fence around the village to keep any thieves from escaping! If you want to leave the village, you have to capture ten thieves first. Well, I'll be! You already captured all those dirty thieves? I guess I'd better get that fence there torn down, huh! You can come and go as you please from now on!

^?Well, I'll be! Did you really capture every last one of the thieves? What a relief that is. Now that they're all gone, I can take that fence down. You can come and go as you please from now on.

^?You still have left to capture. I know their hideout's around here somewhere. Use the R Button to lift 'em up and put 'em in this cage. Nab every last one of them miscreants, even the ones holed up in their lair.

^?I've built a fence around the village to keep any thieves from escaping! If you want to leave the village, you have to capture ten thieves first. All you gotta do is lift the rascals up with the R Button and put 'em in the cage. I'm countin' on you.

^?You got a level 2 shovel! Find some soft soil and dig! Who knows what you'll find? If you're a treasure hound, this shovel's your best friend, you dig?

^?You got a level 2 shovel! Find some soft soil and dig! Who knows what you'll find? If you're a treasure hound, this shovel's your best friend, you dig?

^?[sfx]Hey, buddy. You can't play tag by yourself. Come back when you've got some friends.

^?Oh...rain! Blessed, blessed rain... But...this is a bit...too much rain... I don't know why, but this doesn't feel right.

^?You've seen it, of course, haven't you? All the trouble we've been having with fires around the village? What we need is a good downpour, but there's nary a drop of rain to be had. I'd say a rain prayer, but I can't very well use the flame from our own fires. Hmm... Gotta do something, or the village is doomed. What to do...

^?What I really need is a good flame to use as part of my rain prayer.

^?Everything's going swell lately! And we have Ganon, King of Darkness, to thank! Huh? Vaati? What's that? No, Vaati's old news. Ganon's the King of Darkness! Forget Vaati!

^?Oopipi! Are you lost? Oopipipipipi! Yeah! Yeah! You'll be lost forever!!

^?I adore Lord Ganon, but that shady guy who looks like you ain't so great. He's not one of us, but he still pushes us around like he's some kinda big shot!

^?I'm off to the Temple of Darkness to worship Lord Ganon! Oopipi!

^?Cough cough... Did... Did you put out the fires? I'm always getting sick, and when those thugs started the fires...cough... I had to stay locked away in here for my health. I'd like to give you something for rescuing our village. There's a treasure buried in a pit in my yard. You'll get more out of it than I ever will. So...cough...I want you to have it.

^?My most special treasure, my bug net... It got burned up... It's so sad. I used to dream about going to the forest with it when I got better.

^?Leave the village and follow a mighty river downstream, and you'll find a temple. You should go there and swear your allegiance to the great king.

^?The thief whose hideout is under the tree at the town entrance is awful. I think he stole all of my Force Gems while I was out on my apprenticeship.

^?Welcome. It's been a long time since we've seen any travelers here. This village is our home. We are the dwellers in the desert, the Gerudo tribe. The village is in a bit of an uproar contending with a man who broke our laws. We can't do much for you, but make yourself at home.

^?Oh, visitors to this village are truly rare, you know? We of the Zuna tribe live in this village. We may not look it now, but we are descended from the wise pyramid builders!

^?The road to truth will open only for those who oppose the inconstant winds.

^?Curse that Ganondorf! He broke our laws and left for the pyramid... I don't know what he plans, but I am worried...

^?The Desert Temple was built to keep people away from the pyramid. None who enter the pyramid or the temple have ever returned. They are tombs. Yet the man has gone there by himself. All for the sake of his own mad desire!

^?The pyramid is sacred to our people. To have a criminal such as him enter... His presence stains its holy ground.

^?Once every 100 years, a special child is born unto my people. That child is destined to be the mighty guardian of the Gerudo and the desert. But this child, its heart grew twisted with every passing year. The child became a man who hungered for power at any price.

^?Within this desert, an ancient temple slumbers amid ruins. A perpetual sandstorm blows here, a barrier to hinder those who seek to enter. If you plunge headlong into the sands, you'll wind up right where you started.

^?[sfx]Hm? That writing on those large rocks... It's in an ancient tongue... Let's see if I can read it. ... ... ... Seek...you...the world? Seek you...power? Does your...soul...despise peace and...thirst for... more? Does your soul...cry... for...destruction and... conquest? We...grant you...power to ...ruin...the world. The power of...darkness. Evil...spirit of magic trident. You are...the... King of Darkness.

^?The man who came from the south a while back gave off bad vibes. I waved and everything, but the jerk just ignored me! Hmph!

^?I was wandering about and came across this temple in the desert. Eh? Where was it? Uhm...let's see... I had no business there, so I forgot.

^?Do you want to know the secret of the pyramid? When we're young, we're told all the legends of the pyramid! There are many frightening tales about the pyramid. They say there's an evil force... No, wait... They say there's no evil force. Wait...which one was it? Evil force or no evil force?

^?I'll give you a sand rub for 100 Force Gems! It's a special massage that's good for the heart! Sure. No thanks.

^?To go west from here, you must take uniform steps and move slowly. Or else!

^?I'm terribly sorry. I've nothing left to trade to you.

^?Tell me, travelers, what brings you to these borderlands? Hmm... I see... You come on word of the maidens, eh? Yes, this Ganondorf you speak of is a member of the Gerudo. But his intent is unknown to me. He has flouted the law and fled for the pyramid. To reach the pyramid, one must first pass the trial of the Desert Temple. The villain Ganondorf will no doubt draw his last breath failing this trial. We've blocked the road to the desert to keep other fools from coming. But considering the crisis in Hyrule, we've no reason to stop you brave lads. Go to the entrance of the village and speak to the guards at the gate.

^?The world is in turmoil. The desert and her storms have grown fierce. Please rescue the maidens...and our world.

^?Who... Who is it? Who's there? You... You're not with those fiends who have taken over the castle, are you? Please, would you help me?

^?Oh, happy day! Thank you! Now, at last, we can merge as one, and I can return to my true form! Please take me to the barrier that blocked your way. I'll do my best to aid you on your journey!

^?[sfx]Link! The maiden was taken at the bottom of these stairs. Please, hurry and help her!

^?I heard the maidens' cries and came running to find the castle a nest of fiends. They captured me and split me in two. That's why I look so horrible right now! Please, I beg of you. Reunite my two halves! Make me whole again!

^?To he who would be tested, use both body and spirit to pull the watchman forth.

^?Terrorpin Hockey... That's the game the Deku Scrubs are always playing!

^?Oopipi.... I've done it! I've created a gentlemen's game for Deku Scrubs. I call it... Terrorpin Hockey! The rules are simple. You send Terrorpins spinning and then cut them! Cutting them when they're not spinning is lame. But when they are, it's cool! Oopipi! It's so fun! Don't you see how fun it is?

^?Pipiii! It's my incredible creation, the Snow Wall! Unless you flame it while in Deku Scrub formation, you can't melt it! In other words, guys like you will never be able to get by this wall! I am soooo smooooth!

^?Come now, you must be cold in such thin clothing. Here, drink some of my specialty soup. You know, we've had some fierce blizzards around these parts lately. It's terrible. Anyone who stays out too long feels his strength start to ebb from the cold. I've seen it happen, and so I'm sure to have warm soup always at the ready. You're welcome to come by whenever you'd like. After all, we have to help each other out in these troubled times, you know?

^?- Blizzard Warning! - Take care not to stroll out too far during blizzard conditions! If you're exposed too long, your strength will fade away. Be careful!

^?OooooOOoo... Strike cracked blocks forcefully from above to smash them to bits. Everyone knows that. I didn't know that... No one ever told me, and now it's too late... I must leave some kind of record of my mishap before it happens to someone else. ...Why did I write out "OooooOOoo"?

^?Urrrk... I thought I'd finally made it to paradise, but...this place is no paradise. If you whack it, it will appear... A mountain of spikes.

^?You who are guided by shadows may in turn guide shadows...

^?You who guide shadows may in turn be guided by shadows...

^?Oh, this is bad! This is very, very bad! Hey! You! C'mon, give me a hand. See that cave? There are water jars in there. Throw 'em and put out the fire.

^?It seems like the bottom's burnt...

^?Ooh... That bomb looks delicious. I bet if you ate one that big, your belly would burst!

^?I won't give in to temptation. I'm gonna sit right here and not move.

^?Oh! This is SO frustrating! The floor's filled with holes, and I can't go anywhere! I wish I could fly like a Pegasus... If only I had boots that could do that!

^?Oooo... Do you ever feel like you're about to get pummeled into oblivion? If you want to get through alive, you need a Moon Pearl. Everyone knows that. I didn't know that. Not until after I'd died... In fact, that's why I died.

^?Oooo... Do you ever feel like you're about to get pummeled into oblivion? If you want to get through alive, you need a Moon Pearl. Everyone knows that. Have a friend bring one from a dark place. I didn't know that. Not until after I'd died... In fact, that's why I died.

^?Tell my wife and son back home that I miss them... Hurrrrk...

^?There's no road ahead and no way to proceed. I can see something over there, but... If only we could get there somehow...

^?We can't get anywhere like this...

^?Warning! Strong winds!

^?Urrrrr... Strike cracked blocks forcefully from above, and they'll break. You can also use the momentum of being shot from cannons to do the same. Everyone knows that. Except me. That's the first thing I learned when I got here. Didn't help me much, though... Urrrrk...

^?- Force Tree - This tree gives fruit to tremendous Force, or so it is said. Unify your body and spirit and strike the tree. You might be rewarded!

^?Hey, you! You don't have anything...flammable on you, do you? I set up a bomb to blow out the cliff so we could build a new road. Only problem is, I forgot to bring something to light the fuse with!

^?... ... ... What? You made the new road? That's so helpful! Thank you!

^?That new road you built has been a lifesaver! Or at least, a time-saver... I'm gonna take a quick rest, and then I'm headed for the summit.

^?I don't know why, but the location of this house is not quite right... I took out all of the furniture and stuff to move it, but... It's still so heavy! I can't move it all by myself. I bet I could move it if I could get enough people together, though!

^?Change formations with the L Button or the +Control Pad!

^?You can change formations by pressing SELECT!

^?The sandstorms grow more fierce from here on. Be careful.

^?From here on, the sandstorms are brutal. Kids like you will never make it through!

^?From here on, the sandstorms are brutal. Kids like you will never make it through! ... ... ... Eh? You've received special permission? Well, then... I've no choice, do I? Go ahead. Go on through. Remember though, the storms ahead are terrible. Be careful out there.

^?Oh, bad timing, boys! The bridge is closed for repairs right now. If you want to cross, you should pick up a friend and toss him to the other side!

^?All done! The bridge is fixed! If you stand on that switch over there, the bridge will lower!

^?Whoa! Look at you... You guys're identical! Say... The four of you... You're brothers? Or...friends, is that it? OK, listen up. I'm real particular about friends. Friends don't always have to be doing the same thing, you know? True friends can do their own thing and still work things out together. Just press SELECT to check up on your friends. And when you want to be with your friends again, press the L Button! Sounds nice, doesn't it? I've got to get some friends of my own.

^?Whoa! Look at you... You guys're identical! Say... The four of you... You're brothers? Or...friends, is that it? True friends can do their own thing and still work things out together. Sounds nice, doesn't it? I've got to get some friends of my own.

^?Oh, so you want that rod, do you? That shadow boy was after the same thing. I hid it from him, but I think you can have it. You've been so nice to me. And besides, you look like you can be trusted with it. Take care of it, all right?

^?[sfx]You wanna see if you've got connection to Force Gems or not? [.]Yes [.]No

^?[sfx]I see. Then let me spread some Force Gems around outside. I'll give you ten arrows. You shoot 'em with your bow. Any Force Gems you hit are yours to keep. Ready... START!

^?[sfx]Then you're wastin' my time. G'wan, get outta here!

^?[sfx]That's it! All done! So? Did you feel a deep connection with the Force Gems? Ha ha ha...

^?[sfx]Hey, you've already had your shot at this! Don't be so greedy!

^?Hey, you have companions waiting for you outside. Gather them and come here.

^?Oh ho ho ho... Such youth... Troubled by the giants, are you? We magic users have enchanted two types of medallion. These medallions instantly alter the shape of an evil presence or make it vanish. One of these medallions is in that treasure chest there. It's one that I enchanted myself. You may use it if you like.

^?You may encounter other medals like this one at some point. They will prove useful on your journey, so take them.

^?Oh ho ho ho! At last, at last! I've done it! My lifelong dream... A moving house!!! It's made of a special light, yet sturdy, wood! And fire poses no threat at all! It's absolutely, completely fireproof! Go on and try it! The four of you, step outside and push the house. It'll move! There's one problem, though. Fill the house with furniture and it becomes too heavy to budge. That's why I've had to leave it entirely empty. It's a bit stark, but I like it!

^?Test it out! Move it around this empty field! Shove it to your heart's delight!

^?Well now, I see you've pushed it about a bit. I'm quite jealous! But why didn't I build it so one person could move it? What terrible planning...

^?OoooOOooo... So you've wandered into this cave of no return, too, eh? If you want to escape alive, you must pull a long lever. Grab it with the R Button, then line up this way [v] and pull. That's just common sense. I was all alone, though, so I couldn't do it... I died all alone...

^?OoooOOooo... If you want to escape alive, you must pull a long lever. Grab it with the R Button, then line up this way [v] and pull. That's just common sense. I was all alone, though, so I couldn't do it... I died all alone... If you see my children back home, be sure to say hello... OoooOOoo...

^?And I was going to give you a sand massage, too... Oh well! Next time!

^?I'll give you a sand massage for 100 Force Gems. What do you say? Yes No

^?If you don't give me 100 Force Gems, I don't give you a massage!

^?100 Force Gems exactly. Here's your massage! Rub rub...rub... Squeeze here... Squeeze there... Rub...rub rub... A bit more here... A bit less there... There you go! All done!

^?Hmmm... Not so good...

^?Well, it's hard to tell...

^?Now that's not bad!

^?Whew! That is fantastic!

^?To tickle my fortune-telling fancy, I'll need 100 Force Gems. ...Iddly biddly... ...Babbledy goobledy... Alakawhoopity!

^?Force Gems: [?][?][?][?] Hearts: [?][?][?][?] Total: [?][?][?][?] Your future's so bright, it almost hurts my eyes! ...Jibba jabba... ...Shoobeedoo... ...Yow! You got 300 Force Gems! What a great feeling! I'm good, aren't I?

^?Force Gems: [?][?][?] Hearts: [?][?][?] Total: [?][?][?] An unexpected blessing may make an appearance! ...Jibba jabba... ...Shoobeedoo... ...Yow! You got 200 Force Gems! Bask in Force light! I'm good, aren't I?

^?Force Gems: [?][?] Hearts: [?][?] Total: [?][?] Uncontrollable power will be unleashed! ...Jibba jabba... ...Shoobeedoo... ...Yow! You lost 300 Force Gems... I'm sneaky, aren't I?

^?Force Gems: [?] Hearts: [?] Total: [?] Your sword will be blunted beyond repair. ...Jibba jabba... ...Shoobeedoo... ...Yow! Thaumaturgic thievery! You've lost all your Force Gems! I'm sneaky, aren't I?

^?Force Gems: [?][?] Hearts: [?][?] Total: [?][?] Common days... Monotonous life... It's all so ordinary... The crystal shows the same old you with no changes at all... It's a shame, isn't it? Let me do this for you. You got 1 Force Gem! And you should be thankful you even got that much! That'll hold you for a while, won't it?

^?Force Gems: [?][?] Hearts: [?][?] Total: [?][?] Common days... Monotonous life... It's all so ordinary... The crystal shows the same old you with no changes at all... It's a shame, isn't it?

^?Ohh...there! I can see it! The future... What it holds for you. It's in my crystal. For 100 Force Gems, I'll tell you what I see. OK? Yes No

^?What do you mean? Does the future...frighten you? Ah, well... Come again...

^?There's no future for those who don't have 100 Force Gems! All I see in the crystal is your empty blade!

^?Hey! What was that for!? I was trying to hide!! You're a meanie!

^?Yaaaawwwnnn... I was sleeping so soundly... Let me be, will you?

^?What is it? Do you need something?

^?You found me! Good work! And I thought that was a pretty good hiding spot!

^?I can't even believe he's a Goron... It's just shameful! Fire doesn't bug us! Listen, brother! Go give that pitiful Goron a solid thumping! Knock some sense back into his rocky head!!

^?Youngsters these days are forgetting the Hylian tongue. It's so sad... In an effort to preserve our beautiful ancient tongue, I've made a language exam. Would you like to try? Yes No Help

^?Really? So another day passes, and Hylian slips slowly into obscurity...

^?I'm going to show you some Hylian script for just 5 seconds. Remember the order of the letters and then put them back in that order later. If you make even one error, you fail! Immediately! Anyone who solves the problem correctly gets a 250 Force Gem scholarship! Come on! Try the test! Yes No

^?I really want you to take the test, but I'm operating on very limited funds... Even if you're only 1 Force Gem short, you can't take the test. My apologies.

^?That's 50 Force Gems exactly! OK, here's the Hyrulean language test!

^?When that wastrel Iris gets back, she needs a harsh scolding!

^?That little brat, Iris! I can't believe she'd leave such a valuable book just lying around... Hey... Aren't you the lads who freed Vaati? What good timing. You know how to get to the Dark World, do you not? If you see my apprentice, a witch named Iris, please give her this book.

^?Oh...but you've got your hands full. This won't work at all.

^?You got a magic book! It's full of dubious spells!

^?So you'll deliver the book, will you? Right, then I'll leave it in your hands.

^?Magic books are heavier than you may think. You'll need to use both hands. When you see Iris, don't hesitate to tell her how disappointed I am in her.

^?No, that's not right! The test is over! Study some more, I beg you!

^?That's Ganon's voice!

^?Thank you. I feel so much better now that I can cast magic again! Please, take me to the barrier.

^?Thank you, Link... I'm off to see the maiden. Here...

^?Link, a shrine maiden is being held in there. Use the power of the Four Sword to pierce the barrier. Hurry!

^?Whoever constructed this seal was very powerful... Be careful! Here, in exchange for helping me, let me restore your health!

^?Link, a maiden is being held in there. Use the power of the Four Sword to pierce the barrier. Hurry!

^?The inside of the temple is a rough place. You'll get torn up in no time! You'd better be prepared!

^?Hey! Why have you come to the Temple of Darkness? Are you here to see Lord Ganon?!

^?You'll learn how strong Lord Ganon is soon enough!

^?You and your friends look like you're on a journey. That's what adventure's all about! Working with your pals, pooling your strength. I've nothing to teach stout lads like yourselves. Take care of each other!

^?Watch your friends' backs!

^?Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>]. Don't forget!

^?Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>]. Don't forget!

^?Hello there, adventurers! Do you want to know the secret of adventuring? Of course! Nope.

^?If you don't want to know, I won't force it on you! Bye-bye, adventurers!

^?You want to know, right? I thought so. Here's the deal! Formation shortcuts! Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>]. Try it and see.

^?How was it? Did you try? Did it! Not yet.

^?Hurry up, will you? Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>].

^?So you tried them! And it's all clear, right? Perfectly! Not at all...

^?That's right! You've got it! Press and hold the L Button. Then press [^], [v], [<], or [>]. That's the formation shortcut technique! In formation, everyone can attack simultaneously. That's great in battle! Best of luck to you!

^?You've been initiated into the secrets of formations! Good luck on your travels!

^?Whaaaaaaaat?!? You... You don't get it? C-c-could it be? You four don't share one mind? That's right! We do!

^?Oh, so that's the deal! That explains everything! That technique is only for the legendary hero with four bodies and a single heart. It's for changing formations quickly and easily! Basically, you only use it if you're forming up! Try to remember it when you want to change formations. Press the L Button and [^], [v], [<], or [>]!

^?Whaaaaattt?!? You're joking! Or am I just not explaining this correctly? Sigh... What I wanted to say was that this lets you change formations super quickly. You got it, right? You'll remember it, right? Press the L Button and [^], [v], [<], or [>].

^?Bring me the purple guy! We'll talk then!

^?Bring me the red guy! We'll talk then!

^?... ... ... I see... Something happened to the 6 maidens that guard our world. Is that it? Your reasoning is quite amazing. We'll base our ongoing investigation upon your remarkable theory! Oh, yes! I'd like to give you something in thanks for your cooperation. Ah, but your hands are full. Come back when you're not carrying anything.

^?I'd like to give you something in thanks for helping our investigation. Come back when you're not carrying anything.

^?Hello. You've returned. Please take this token of our thanks for your help. During the course of our inquiry, we dug a secret passageway in this village. For example... Try digging by the house of pots in the southeastern part of town. You'll find a path that lets you walk to areas you normally cannot. It's handy! Take this shovel and use the passage you uncover! You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?[sfx]Hey! Hold it! Move this rock, will you? Press the R Button to lift!

^?I don't know... You look JUST LIKE that shadow guy. But your eyes! They sparkle and shine with light! I can tell just by looking into your eyes that you're not bad boys.

^?Oh, thank goodness! That stupid door was really getting on my nerves! It never occurred to me that someone might have locked it from the outside! I'm convinced it was that shadowy boy, the one who looks just like you. Strange things are happening everywhere these days. You boys watch yourselves.

^?I've started working out so I can do something about all those Octoroks out front. Still, no matter how strong I am, I'll never be able to, say, lift a huge rock alone!

^?If I had someone to help lift it, I'm sure it would be as easy as pie.

Tingle's a tad upset about all the monsters appearing hereabouts! If you're going to kick the beasts around a bit, you'd best have Force Fairies! And no whining!

Tingle

^?Grrr! What a bunch of thugs! Blowing up our foundation with your stupid little bombs! That's right! This is the foundation for the glorious Lord Ganon's statue! It's not done yet, so don't go manhandling it, punks! Just be careful, because if there are holes to the north and south of it, it'll move!

^?Gwaaaaaaa!!! You... You moved our precious foundation! You... You dared to touch it!! What do you think you're doing? You're so mean!! Wahhh!!!

^?Nosrep eno yb neve tuoba devom eb nac moor llams siht.

^?We're planning a cool stone monument to put up here! The inscription's been finalized and everything! "1. Put four in a vertical line." That's what it'll say! Is that cool or what?!

^?We're planning a sweet stone monument to put up here! The inscription's been finalized and everything! "4. Four push together as one." That's super sweet, right?

^?We're planning a stylish stone monument to put up here! The inscription's been finalized and everything! "2. Break oil pots." Now is that or is that not the very height of style?! Seriously, am I right?

^?We're planning a grand stone monument to put here! The inscription's been finalized and everything! "3. On the left wall." One of the best inscriptions ever, am I right?!

^?Follow the Great Fairy of the Fountain's counsel to wake the secret power...

^?... ... ... ... (Looks like an old grave.)

^?Thanks to all of you, I made it back home safely! I hate to admit it, but at first, I wasn't sure I could really count on you guys. But it turns out, you guys are the best! You're real heroes! I think I finally understand why you guys are friends with the green fairy. Thank you so much!

^?We're so scared that we do nothing but sit at home and stare at the walls. Oh yeah, at the bottom of the stairs in front of our house, there's a storeroom. It's full of stuff we never use, so if you see anything you need, just take it!

^?Carrots, carrots! Horses love carrots! Help yourself!

^?Carrots for horses! Help yourself! Take a carrot? Yes No

^?You got a carrot! Take it out of your crystal ball when you need a horse.

^?You don't need that now!

^? -If you get trapped- The fence is low, so you can lift things across it.

^?Hm? I've never seen you lads in these parts before. I'm spending my retirement teaching my grandkids all about formations. You may not believe me, but I'm a former castle guard! A professional adventurer. Formations are the key to working together and performing great deeds! If you're interested in learning more about it, go on into my backyard!

^?Listen up! Formations are the foundation upon which adventurers are made. Good formations mean good cooperation, and teamwork is the key to adventure!

^?If you're interested in formations, go out into my backyard!

^?... ... ... ... ... ... Huh?!

^?You... You've saved Tingle! ... ... ... Ooo...! Th-that outfit! That aura! It's the fairy that Tingle has dreamed of... It's you!!

^?Tingle Tingle Kooloo- limpah!

^?Hrmm... I haven't seen you boys around here before... I've dedicated my retirement to teaching the secret of adventuring to my grandkids. I may not look like much now, but I was once a knight in the castle. I am a skilled adventurer, a real professional! Come now. I'm sure you youngsters long for the thrill of competition... But you can't imagine the rewards of working together to accomplish a goal! My granddaughters get along fine now, but you should see 'em when I'm not looking. I figure you and my granddaughters are like birds of a feather, eh?

^?Oh, Mr. Fairy! You coming to my rescue has left me overcome with emotion! Let me thank you by sharing some thrilling Tingle news with you! The oh so Tingle-esque pastime of collecting Force Gems is all the rage now! In fact, I got stuck under here trying to get the Force Gem under this rock. But you saved me! Clearly, it was the power of the gems that led you here to me! Tingle believes without a doubt that good things come from collecting Force Gems! Why, collecting enough Force Gems may even turn Tingle into a real and true fairy! No doubt that's why you're after the Force Gems, too, isn't it, Mr. Fairy? Let's be fair about where we look and share the gems equally, Mr. Fairy! And with that, Tingle must say his farewells! ... ...Don't follow me!

^?Well? Have you mastered all the formations?

^?I don't want you to get the wrong idea about us girls. Sure, we look like we're getting along fine for now, but this is just for show! If we don't all cooperate, Grandpa gets really sad. But we all hate losing, so when he's not looking, we fight tooth and nail to win. Do you want to know the secret to winning?

^?Oh, hello there! Did you come to learn formations from my grandfather, too? If so, you can do your training over there!

^?Want to know a secret? Some people go head over heels to be the first one to get items and Force Gems! They do it by pressing the +Control Pad to walk and then the R Button to roll. Rolling is so much faster than walking!

^?Press the L Button to change formations!

^?The bridge is out! If you just have to see what's on the other side, press and hold the B Button!

^?You can change into one of four different formations by pressing the L Button! You do understand that, right?

^?Oh! Hi there. You're kind of cute! And you've got a Game Boy Advance! I always link up my Game Boy Advance! Really, it's the only way to go. ... ...Well, that's what my grandfather always tells us. Wonder what he means...

^?If you get into formation and unite your strength, you can do almost anything! You can certainly do more than any one of you could do alone.

^?Want to know a secret? Trying to be first and not letting others be first are totally different things. There are so many things out there you can't handle by yourself. Sometimes, you have to cooperate. You might want to keep that in mind!

^?Want to know a secret? If you sneak up next to your friend and press the R Button, you'll pick'm up! Then, if you press the B Button, you can use your friend to smash things! And when you don't need your friend anymore, press the R Button to throw him! Anytime my friends get in my way, I just pick them up and toss them aside!

^?Do not recklessly pick up stones and throw them by pressing the R Button!

^?Oh, this isn't good. I brought my bombs all this way, and then I dropped 'em. They went right in the lava, too. And I thought I had a good plan... I was gonna use them on the monsters around here. You should watch out for them. I mean, if they can toast me, they're sure to burn you to a crisp. Oh, hey! I can teach you an IN-credible way of dealing with those pesky things. What do you say? Would you like to hear it? You bet No, Thanks

^?Great! I'll show you! The problem is those things have skin as hard as rock. Even with my strength, it's a waste to hit them. I can't even make a dent! But then it came to me! They may be tough on the outside but weak on the INSIDE! So right when they open their mouths to breathe fire, gulp! And then... BLAMMO! What a great idea! ...But then I dropped my bombs in the lava! Ugh! I can't believe it!

^?...Huh? Are you sure? You might regret it later. Well, I won't hold it against you. If you change your mind, just come see me. All it will take is one good toasting, and you'll learn your lesson the hard way.

^?Hey, there, brother! Want to hear my great plan for slaying Dodongos? Sure No, Thanks

^?!!! Wh-What are you doing to our village?!? Hurry up and put those fires out! And then get out of our village!

^?Wait, you aren't that dark, shadowy guy, are you? But, uh, you are the one who made it rain, aren't you? ...Thank you.

^?Because of everything that's been happening in town, I want to get away for a bit. Maybe I'll go to the Eastern Palace. It's nothing like this old village. I really need a vacation, but it's always the first step that's the hardest. I mean, I can't really go anywhere until the rain stops, can I? If you're thinking of going to the palace, you'd better be careful.

^?Hey! It's you!

^?Hey! It's you! Oh, that's right. Your buddy agreed to exterminate all the beasts for us! Please thank him for me!

^?Wow! I'm surprised you're out and about, what with all the monsters around here... I asked your buddy to bring me some kind of weapon. If I just had a weapon, I could take care of every last one of those monsters!

^?Hey! I can't believe you're out with all those monsters around. You know, if I just had a weapon, I'd do something about them... But the problem is I can't even get to the shed where all our weapons are stored! Ooo! I know! Since you don't mind going outside, can you slay all the one-eyed monsters? If you do, you can use whatever you want from the storage shed.

^?Oh...but I guess you can't. You can't carry this big key around with you, can you? Well, if you drive off all the monsters, tell me, OK?

^?Will you slay the monsters? Sure No Way

^?What? Why not? Well, come tell me if you change your mind.

^?Really? Sweet! There are lots of weapons and stuff in the storage shed. I'm sure you'll find a good use for at least one of them! Take whatever you want. Just get rid of all the one-eyed monsters! Here's the key to the storage shed. Take it with you! You got a small key! Take it to the keyhole!

^?I'm counting on you to get rid of the monsters!

^?One-eyed monsters have been popping up in the field a lot lately. It's become too scary even to set foot outside! I'm too old to think about fighting them off, and my son is too cowardly...

^?Hah... I know what my son says about the weapons in the storage shed... but they're no match for the one-eyed monsters. A greater weapon may lie in the cave to the north, where my ancestors rest. But the earth there has crumbled to bits, making it impossible to get there.

^?Hmm... There must be some way to get in that cave...

^?Oh! You again? What? You slew all the monsters? Oh, thank you so much! You can see my son for your reward.

^?Finally, it's safe to go outside again. And it's all thanks to you!

^?Take this shovel in exchange for your help. You can dig holes with it! There's a spot north of our shed where there might be an underground cave. You should start digging around there and try to find it. If you have a hard time finding it, try going to the Great Fairy's fountain. The fairy there can make this a powerful shovel! You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?Hey, I gave you a shovel, didn't I? So go dig some holes with it!? Oh, wait! You've got too much stuff! Come back when you can carry something.

^?... What's that? You say you destroyed all the one-eyed monsters? That's great! Thank you! I really should reward you! Uh... Gee... What can I give you... ... Umm... You're headed to Hyrule Castle? ...Oh! I know! There's this giant tree that's blocking the path to the castle... But I dug a huge passageway so I could get into the castle. Once I was done with it, I sealed it up, but you could dig it open if you wanted.

^?The passage to the castle should be somewhere north of our storage shed. There's nothing but dirt up there, so just keep digging until you find it. If you have a hard time finding it, try going to the Great Fairy's Fountain. If you ask the Great Fairy for help, she'll turn this into a better shovel.

^?Hey! Your buddy told me all about it! You know... About how you guys got rid of all the monsters? Now, you guys are going to Hyrule Castle, right? Well, you should know that a giant tree's blocking the path to the castle... But I dug a huge passageway so I could get into the castle. Once I was done with it, I sealed it up, but you could dig it open if you wanted.

^?What's that? You need a shovel? No problem! I'll give you one. The passage to the castle is somewhere north of our storage shed. There's dirt everywhere up there, so just dig around. You should find the hole. If you have trouble, though, you can go to the Great Fairy's Fountain. If you ask the Great Fairy, she'll turn this into an incredible shovel. You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?I'll give you a shovel, so just empty your hands, and you can have it.

^?Whoa! Oh, whoa! That big ol' house just moved! Yeah, all those stakes stuck around the house were such a pain. But now that they're gone I can just push that house around all I want!

^?Oh, not good! Someone built a house here while I was gone. That was fast! It's covering the hole I buried my most precious belonging in... If there were just some way to move that house aside...

^?Gah! And I went to all that trouble to plant stakes so my house couldn't move! Sheesh! What kind of vicious grudge would make someone do this to me? This was an empty lot when I built my house, so why would anyone be mad at me?

^?H-Hey! Did you see one of those Gorons out front? I don't know what he's thinking, but he's been shaking my house like crazy! I planted stakes outside to hold my house in place, but that guy is stupid strong.

^?I'm Secret Agent One, of the Seeker's Guild! I'm guarding this here place to make sure this mage don't do anything...er...wicked. If you're looking for our leader, he should be in that building there. There's a secret entrance on the side. Go right on in and see him!

^?I am Secret Agent Two! I'm not supposed to move from this spot right here. But I can't say any more than that to anyone outside of our...secret guild. But I CAN ask for some help. The guild bylaws say nothing about that. If you feel up to it, go see our head office. It's north of here.

^?I'm Secret Agent Three! I'm in the middle of a serious investigation. We're looking for a particular person. I can't tell you any more about it. If you're interested in what we're doing, go see our boss in our office west of here.

^?Shh! Keep it down, will ya? I'm on a stakeout! Call me Secret Agent Four. If you want to help out, go inquire back at our office. There's a throng of people blocking the door, though, so you probably can't go in.

^?It looks to me like you have some pretty capable friends. If you bring your friends here to talk, I can point you in the right direction.

^?If you can sense the Moon Gates, you might be able to save our town.

^?... Incredible! You can sense the Moon Gates? Then perhaps you can save our village! ...Take a Moon Pearl to the spot where you sensed the Moon Gate. Then, the path you must follow will open.

^?Huh?!? Where'd you come from!? I'm not used to kids appearing out of nowhere! No, kids around here usually just vanish! The whole town is in an uproar about it. Guys from the Seeker's Guild are looking into it in the northwest part of town.

^?There's always a huge line at the Seeker's Guild in the northwest part of town. You look awful young. You'd better be careful. I don't want you to disappear, too!

^?Oh! Travelers! Listen! Calamity has befallen our town! First whirlwinds, and then mages! What are we to do? We need one who can sense the Moon Gates... So if you run across anyone who can do that, well... Be sure to let me know, OK?

^?This world is like a darkened mirror of your own... It looks familiar, but in truth it is very different. Much like you four... Eee hee hee hee hee!

^?... Incredible! You can sense the Moon Gates? ...Then perhaps you can save our village!

^?If you can sense the Moon Gates, you might be able to save our town.

^?Oh! Travelers! Listen! Calamity has befallen our town! First whirlwinds, and then mages! What are we to do? We need one who can sense the Moon Gates... So if you run across anyone who can do that, well... Be sure to let me know, OK?

^?Oh! Thank you so very much! I mean, this is all thanks to you, isn't it? My house suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and when I went inside, she was here! Honestly, there are not enough words in the world to tell you how grateful I am! I will never forget you, no matter how long I live!

^?Thank you! I'm so happy for all that you've done for us! Not only did I make it back to this world, but we also made up again! I just hope the rest of the villagers can get help soon, too...

^?Then take this Moon Pearl! You got a Moon Pearl! This mysterious gem guides its bearer into the Dark World. Carry it with the R Button, and study things that catch your eye.

^?Come see me when you carry nothing. Then I shall give you the Moon Pearl I found.

^?Hey! Let's gamble. You won't get into any trouble! Risk 100 Force Gems and see if you can get more! [.]OK [.]No Way

^?You guys used a Moon Pearl, didn't you? ...I swear! That guy there has been staring at me for quite a while now. Who does that insolent lout think he is? That's just rude!

^?Whoa there! No cutting in! If you want people to treat you like an adult, you'd better learn some manners!! To the back of the line with you!

^?Oh! Hello. I'm actually a Seeker, too. I'm in the guild and everything! All the people lined up here are the parents of the children who have vanished. Of course, we're looking into it, but we don't have time to talk to everyone! That's why I'm here. I'm pretending to be in line, but I'm really just blocking the entrance. It's important work!

^?Approach with a Moon Pearl, and the path you are to follow will reveal itself.

^?Approach with a Moon Pearl, and the path you are to follow will reveal itself. I see you are in the company of some rather capable friends. If you bring your friends here to talk, I can point you in the right direction.

^?Eee hee hee hee hee! The girl here has vanished, too. No doubt she is trembling in fear even now!

^?I don't know much about the guild, but watching over us is a waste of time! But let them play cops and robbers if they like! Eee hee hee hee hee hee!

^?You're the boy who awoke Vaati, aren't you? Thank you very much! You've made the world a better place for our kind!

^?You want a Moon Pearl? I suppose it's the least I can do after everything you've done for me. You got a Moon Pearl! This mysterious gem guides its bearer into the Dark World. Carry it with the R Button, and study things that catch your eye.

^?I'd like to thank you, but you'll have to come back when your hands are free.

^?Oh. It's you. If you're looking for a reward, I gave it to your friend. But you're all together, right? So it doesn't matter who gets it! Heh heh heh!

^?Well, good luck, kid! Eee hee hee hee!

^?You're the boy who awoke Vaati, aren't you? Thanks! You've made it a better world for all of our kind to live in!

^?My name's Iris! I'm an apprentice magician. I lost my magic book, and now I don't have the magic to get back home. I was so mad that...I shrunk this house! Er... Accidentally... Sorta... I can't believe it! Where could I have left it?

^?Would you like my heart? Yes No

^?Really? You do? Then... My heart is yours...if you can catch it! You got a Heart Container! Your life energy increased, and your hearts were replenished!

^?Oh... How sad...

^?Please... Don't break my heart!

^?Hmph! You probably like that girl more than you like me, don't you!?!

^?Hmph! Too late! My heart already belongs to another!

^?Oh! My dear. Don't be greedy! What are you holding? If you want my heart, your hands must be free to catch it!

^?Do you want to burn with my flames of passion? Yes No, Thanks

^?Goodness! Really? Then get set to feel the burning of my passion! You got a Fire Rod! It's a magic staff that shoots out flames! Press the A Button to fire a ball of fire. Hot! Hold the A Button longer to let loose a burst of flame!

^?Hmph! Fine. Whatever.

^?Well? Doesn't that just set your heart afire?

^?Hmph! Another girl, huh? If she's so great, why don't you just run off with her?

^?Oh, too bad. I already burn for another man!

^?Aren't you shameless! What's that in your hand? If you're serious about me, you'll have to throw everything else away!

^?That's the spirit! OK, now you can open whichever treasure chest you want!

^?Wow! Talk about a boring guy! Maybe we can play later?

^?Come on! You don't even have 100 Force Gems! Don't start thinking you can rip me off just 'cuz I'm a kid!

^?Umm, I'm kind of tired, so we're closed! Come back when I'm...less tired.

^?Sheesh! How long am I going to have to wait here?!?

^?My only daughter has vanished! Someone has to look for her! Now!!!

^?My husband and I came here to request an inquiry. I wonder if such a small guild from such a small town can handle such a big task.

^?Huh? Who, me? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just here looking around. I just...saw a huge line and figured it must be for something good!

^?Ohh... My poor, darling grandson. Gone... This whole experience has been awful! I came to ask the guild members for help.

^?What's going on here! This line isn't moving at all! If this keeps up, I'm going to make them investigate my case for free!

^?I'm going to ask the Seeker's Guild to let me join them. If they made me a Secret Agent, I'd solve all these people's problems pronto!

^?Hey! No cutting! What, you expect me to believe you just want to get to the other side? Yeah, right! That's what the Cucco said! Well, you're not gonna fool me!

^?Isn't that girl in front of me cute? There's no way I'm letting you block my view!

^?Heavens! Such a cute little boy! ...What are you doing with such a big sword?

^?When is it finally going to be my turn? This is awful! I don't care how long it takes, but I'm not getting out of this line!

^?Uhh... Please! Someone make this line move faster. I really have to go! ...Huh? This isn't the line for the bathroom?

^?Ugh! It's just like my dolt of a son to cause me so much trouble!

^?That lady in front of me is scary. If I were her kid, I might not want to come home.

^?I'm pretty, and I have a pure heart, just like a little kid. I came out here to see if maybe someone could kidnap me!

^?I feel like I've been standing here forever. It's tough on an old woman...

^?It looks like even that girl who was crying has cheered up a little. But she has a boyfriend... It's kind of sad.

^?Being trapped in that strange world made us a little crazy.

^?Now that we're back safely, I feel a little stupid about our petty rivalry.

^?You guys saved our village! I guess my eyes weren't that messed up after all!

^?Aaaaah... I'll never take the fresh, outside air for granted ever again!

^?I can't believe I'm hearing this! Just when I thought everything was normal again! Oh! You're the one who saved the kids, aren't you? Thank you so much!

^?Thanks to you guys, me and my boyfriend are getting along great again! And we've promised to be nice to each other from now on! Thank you so much!

^?Hey, it's you guys! It's me! You know, Secret Agent One! I just wanted to thank all of you on behalf of my boss, who's just too darned busy. This whole time, we thought it was the mages... But it was just a misunderstanding. If it weren't for you guys, we never would have cracked this case. We owe you big! We'd really like you guys to stay here in the village and join our guild. But we understand you can't, so we won't try to force you to stay. But good luck out there! I know you'll pull through, whatever you're doing!

^?I was able to return safely thanks to you guys bringing me my book! Of course, my teacher gave me quite an earful for misplacing it...

^?Thanks to you, all of the town's children have been returned! We're so happy! Thanks for everything you've done!

^?Just playing all the time leaves me feeling a little empty inside. I'm gonna do my chores and study hard to make playing much more enjoyable!

^?Will your Force Gems multiply or dropify? Risk 300 Force Gems and see! What do you say? [.]I'll Risk It [.]Forget It

^?You don't have enough Force Gems! Come back once you save up 300 of them!

^?Oh, terrible! Just 1 Force Gem...

^?Shocking! 100 Force Gems!

^?An even break! 300 Force Gems!

^?Bravo! 1,000 Force Gems!

^?We're about to close for the day. Come again, you hear?

^?Will your Force Gems multiply or dropify? Risk 100 Force Gems and see! What do you say? [.]I'll Risk It [.]Forget It

^?Excellent! Then open the chest of your choice!

^?Too bad... Save up your Force Gems and try again.

^?You don't have enough Force Gems! Come back after you collect 100 Force Gems!

^?Wrong! You get 1 Force Gem!

^?100 Force Gems! You broke even!

^?Talk about lucky! 150 Force Gems!

^?Incredible! Miraculous! You got 300 Force Gems!!!

^?Digging holes in woods this big is tough work when your shovel's been taken away. We move four times as fast in Deku Scrub formation though, so it'll be a breeze. You know, I doubt anyone else could come up with such a cunning plan!

^?Thanks to Ganon, we were awakened from our slumber!

^?The Lost Woods is our birthplace! If you wander lost here for too long, you too can become a Deku Scrub!

^?Uh-oh! I forgot about the hole I dug as a joke the other day... I'll need to sneak away later, grab a shovel, and look for it...

^?I captured the Great Fairy so that if someone steals my shovel... he won't be able to power it up!

^?Where the heck did Decci go!? That slacker should try helping out once in a while!

^?Soon, Lord Ganon's power will change all of Hyrule's forests into Lost Woods! Once that happens, we'll be able to travel freely!

^?Gwee hee! I locked up the shovel and hid the key to keep strangers from finding it! And let's not forget my impeccable work guarding it personally! There's no way anyone will ever get their hands on the shovel!

^?Make sure that all who enter the forest remain here! Lord Ganon's orders! But we're trying to build an underground road that will let us go anywhere... Anyway, we've hidden every single shovel we could find! If there are no holes, no one will ever find our road. We're absolutely brilliant!

^?Ah... I love darkness. It's so soothing, so relaxing.

^?We're busy getting rid of things in the woods that are bad for Deku Scrubs. This is the dumping ground. No one's allowed here except for magical creatures!

^?If you want to help, you've got to ask Dekki! Dekki's around somewhere. He likes dark places, so go find him yourself!

^?Don't dawdle! Bring it here!

^?Grrrrrr! That's not what you were supposed to bring! You're useless! You're fired!!

^?Really? Is that so? That's a big help! I was in deep trouble, 'cuz there weren't enough Deku Scrubs! Now, uh...were you the one who's going to help?

^?I see... Just you, huh? Jeez, I got 50 guys helping me, you know?! I'm just saying you should have a helper... or two...or three. Oh, whatever. C'mon, let's just get started.

^?Two, huh? That'll do fine. The two of you are gonna work your tails off, 'K? We're busy, so go on and get started! I'm makin' you the leader, so go and lead! All right, time to get busy. Work work work!

^?A trio is it? That usually means two against one, you know? While you're here alone, the other two are off taking care of things! Heh heh! Look, I'm busy, so just get to work, will ya! I'm naming you the leader of this motley trio, so do your part and watch your pals! OK, it's time to start working!

^?There are four of you! Let me guess, you wanna get done fast and loaf around. Whatever... Just get going, will ya? I'm naming you the leader of this motley quartet. Do your part and watch your pals! All right, time to get to work. Go on! Get busy!

^?You ready? I'm gonna name three items, and I want you to remember each of 'em! I ain't repeating myself!! Then you go into the woods, nab 'em, and bring 'em back. And in order, you hear!?

^?1. Stone 2. Oil pot 3. Bomb

^?Tell your pals to get the items IN THAT ORDER over to Deppi in the other world. You make any mistakes, and you're fired! Now, get movin'! Time's a-wastin'!

^?So tell your pals to take the items I just said in the order I said over to Deppi. Don't forget, you have to bring them in order! If you make a mistake, you're fired! Now go on! Get to work!

^?Cut out all the chatter while you're on the job! Show some control!

^?Nice work! You're not as worthless as you look, you know that? That's it! Job's done! You did well, so I'm gonna give you a special reward! A Power Bracelet! Put this on, and you can move even the heaviest things! You equipped a Power Bracelet! You feel like you can lift anything!

^?Hey, you can't come in here! This ain't open to the public!

^?... ... ... Hm...so you're a new member of the Seeker's Guild, are you? Let me tell you about the clues our investigation has turned up so far.

^?This odd little mage whispered this to me: "The six..." I'm sure it's connected to this incident somehow! Don't you forget it!

^?Bring me green! Then we can talk!

^?... ... ... Oh, so now you're a member of the Seeker's Guild?! Well then, why don't you listen to the clues I've gathered so far!

^?A weird mage is lurking somewhere back here... I can sometimes hear her talking to herself, and this is what she says: "Deeply connected to this village..." That is most definitely a clue! Go and report this to the chief!

^?... ... ... What was that? You're...a brother of the Seeker's Guild? I see... Well then, listen to the information I've gathered.

^?An apprentice mage disappeared somewhere around here. POOF! Right when she vanished, she whispered something... "Protect..." Now that's suspicious! You would do well to lock that away in your head!

^?... ... ... Oh, so you're here to help with the investigation? That's welcome news! Well then, listen to what I have to tell you!

^?Bring me the blue guy! Then we'll talk!

^?Bring me the green guy! Then we'll talk!

^?Look! The mage is over there, right? I was hiding over here, watching her, when I heard her call out suddenly... She said, "Beautiful!" Suspicious, isn't it? Maybe it's part of a spell or something! What's she up to?

^?Hmph! You spotted the entrance. You have a keen eye. This is the office of the legendary Seeker's Guild. We're investigating the sudden appearance of those suspicious mages. We've reason to believe they may be connected to the vanishing children. What do you say? You seem talented enough. Care to help us out? Yes No

^?Oh, really... Too bad. We're shorthanded and in a bit of a bind. If you change your mind, stop by anytime!

^?Oh, you'll help?! That is spectacular! There's something I need you to do right away. Four of our brothers are in the village investigating the weird mages. They must have found some clues by now. Go and speak to the four of them and see what clues they've found so far. The key to this mystery's bound to be in those clues. One of the brothers should be right out here to the left. You have your orders!

^?Oh, it's you! So you've decided to help us Seekers after all. Yes No

^?How's it going? Is the investigation coming along nicely?

^?One of our members should be right out this door and to the right. Come on back when you've gotten clues from all four brothers!!

^?I'm sorry, but I just don't see the connection... Why don't you think about this some more and let me know what you find?

^?Oh, it's you. And you've heard the clues gathered by all our members. ... ... ... Hm...yes...I see... Those strange mages... Yes, that does seem odd... What do you believe the mages' words refer to? Zelda Seekers Maidens

^?You'd think that racing would be more fun, but... I don't know, I'm bored...

^?Is that so... Let me ask you again. What do you think the words of the mages refer to? Zelda Seekers Maidens

^?I said I'd give you these boots, so you've got to wear them! Put 'em on! What else can I do? Here, take these! You got Pegasus Boots! Press the A Button to run with the grace of a winged horse! You know, it might be kind of fun to get a running start and ram into stuff!

^?I said I'd give you these boots, so you've got to wear them! Put 'em on! But, oh, wait... You can't take these while your hands are full. Come get the boots when your hands are free!

^?Ah, it's you! Well, have you come to a conclusion? Yes No

^?This may prove to be the key to this whole case. Think it through slowly!

^?... ... ... Of course... Something's happened to the six beautiful maidens that protect the shrine... That's it, isn't it? Your powers of deduction are truly magnificent! We'll use your findings to continue our investigation! Oh, yes... As thanks for your help, I'd like to give you something. During the course of our inquiry, we dug up a hidden passageway. Try digging by the house of pots in the south- eastern part of the village. You should find a path that will take you to places otherwise unreachable. You got a shovel! Dig in soft soil to find some nice surprises!

^?Hello. So tell me, is your shovel coming in handy? There's a hidden path near the house of pots down to the southeast. Use it to go places normally unreachable. Dig yourself an entrance to the passage!

^?Hi there! How's the investigation coming along? Everything going smoothly?

^?Lousy mages... What are they up to?

^?Hmmm... We've looked all over, but we just can't find that mage's missing student. How did she vanish? Where did she go?

^?A girl was supposed to be living here, but there's just this strange mage here. ...Where'd the girl go?

^?[sfx]We spend all of our time here running and racing! There are no adults, so we play and play all day long! If you can reach the goal within 20 seconds, I'll give you some amazing boots! Give it a try? Yes No

^?[sfx]What? Are you chicken? These boots can make you a racing expert, you know! Let me know if you change your mind!

^?[sfx]I thought so! Let me explain how this works! The rules are a breeze! All you have to do is reach the goal! Go talk to my friend at the end of the maze. If you get there within 20 seconds of starting, you win! OK, here you go... Ready... GO!

^?[sfx]Too bad... Maybe you can try again sometime! I'm a little busy now, but come talk to me later!

^?C'mon, hurry! You won't make it if you waste time chattering!

^?[sfx]So you want the boots after all, do you? Yes No

^?I've got to get ready. Come talk to me after a bit.

^?[sfx]Came back to have another go at it, did you? Yes No

^?GOAL! Your time is... !

^?Oh, too bad! Try again later!

^?Congratulations! The boots are over here. Follow me! Oh, and a little advice for you... You'll get back more quickly if you break those cracked blocks over there!

^?Try again!

^?Use the boots to race around to your heart's delight!

^?How come the shop next door is getting all that business? I just remodeled my place and everything! People should be flocking here! I'm trying to get people excited, so I'm standing in line for my own store! And I'm not budging!

^?This road splits one fate into two. Welcome to the dungeon of mystery! Those who wish to try their luck for items start here. If you're just here for the sight-seeing, exit this way.

^?Tackling the destiny that lies before you is an important part of life.

^?Only five forks remain in the path of destiny!

^?Only four forks remain in the path of destiny!

^?Only three forks remain in the path of destiny!

^?Only two forks remain in the path of destiny!

^?Only one fork remains in the path of destiny!

^?There are a lot of thieves in these parts. That's why I dug a pit to trap 'em! And it looks like I've caught someone in it! C'mon, youngsters! If you'll dig, I'll point out where that pit is!

^?There! Dig there!

^?I'm not helping you anymore!

^?Look at that! Found a pit, did you? Probably nothin' in there but a thief, I'm guessing.

^?Would someone do something about that woman? She's blocking the door! I tried asking, but she just won't budge. I guess I could try shoving her... She looks kinda...heavy, though. I doubt anyone could do it alone.

^?Hey! You got that woman out of the way. Thanks!

^?I want to go into that shop, but I can't get by...

^?I'm glad I can finally get into the shop, but...I'm not sure I want to go in. Mostly, I'm just afraid that woman will block the door again, and I'll be trapped!

^?What do you want?! I'm in line here! What do you think you're doing?! You're probably spying for that shop next door, aren't you! Well, beat it! Scram!

^?Oh, come on? Who thinks it's right to go digging up someone else's property!? Absolutely inexcusable!

^?Dearest, we've been married now for 56 years, and you've always been so good to me. After I'm gone, please don't let yourself be too sad for too long. If you get lonely, get yourself a cute Cucco as a pet. If you do, perhaps you'll be able to forget some of your sorrow. Good-bye, old timer. We'll meet again one day.

^?Did you see the fields outside? Crazy, huh? Monsters everywhere. I bought a vicious dog to protect me, but... it's a little TOO vicious. In fact, I'm too scared to go near it right now. It's tied to a stake outside, and I really need to set it free. All I have to do is break the stake, but I'm afraid to go near that dog!

^?Darn it! Where'd he go! It's a disgrace! Since when is a Goron afraid of fire!? We've been looking for him everywhere. I bet he buried himself again. What are we going to do? He still has the key...
