^?This is Skyloft. The Statue of the Goddess looks down on the town, and most residents live in relative peace and harmony. Among the residents here are those who have useful information for you, Master, as well as those who have troubles they want to talk about. I recommend talking to those who have a speech bubble visible above their heads as soon as you see them.

^?This is Sky Keep. It is situated beneath Skyloft's Isle of the Goddess.

According to my overall analysis, I suggest you equip yourself with items that will increase your survivability.

^?These are the Faron Woods. Dangerous plants and vicious monsters inhabit the area as well. Caution is advised.

^?This is Skyview Temple, a structure constructed in ancient times. You can expect to encounter many mechanisms designed to keep intruders at bay. When you find yourself unable to continue, press [C] to look around. It will certainly help you find your way forward.

^?Focusing on your enemy's weaknesses and deliberately swinging at the correct sword angle will increase effective results by 85%.

^?Press [Z] to lock on to an enemy, then press [d-pad down] to ask me for analysis.

In some circumstances it will take me a while to compile and calculate my analysis, but I predict an 85% chance you will find my results helpful.

^?The portcullis is sealing the door. Just as the first door, you will need to strike the gemstone switch to open it.

The gemstone switch that acts as a key of sorts in this temple should always be close to the door.

When you find you can't advance any farther, I always recommend you search the immediate vicinity.

^?Some maps you obtain contain hints easily missed by the human eye.

When you can't go any further, I suggest you open your map with [+] and look closely for potential clues.

^?The sacred water said to be able to cure the Water Dragon's wounds can be found in the inner sanctum of this temple.

^?You obtained the sacred water said to have the power to cure the Water Dragon's wounds. I recommend returning to her.

^?It appears that the lock and chains barring this door cannot be deactivated by a gemstone switch.

I recommend searching for a Small Key inside this temple that will fit the keyhole.

^?Using the Small Key you obtained will enable you to continue on deeper into the temple.

^?Use the Beetle you obtained to explore and investigate your surroundings from high in the air.

^?I have detected Zelda's aura from deep within this temple. I recommend opening the large door.

^?This is Eldin Volcano.

^?The steep slopes and scorching magma make this an inhospitable environment for life.

However, some monsters have adapted to this harsh land and now possess the ability to control fire itself.

You must pay heed to their attacks, as well as to falling into lava, as your highly flammable Wooden Shield will be of little use if it's on fire.

^?When monsters block your path, your Slingshot may prove to be the most effective weapon.

^?If you deliver a significant blow to the base of the neighboring watchtower, I project a 90% probability that it will topple over.

^?You can propel a bomb farther away by rolling it than by throwing it. I recommend you consider rolling a bomb when throwing won't reach.

^?Now that you have all the pieces of the key, I recommend you head to the large door on the summit.

^?I recommend that you check to see if the wall by the nearby area with three tents can be destroyed with a bomb.

^?It appears there are two Mogmas in the back of this area with three tents. I recommend that you talk to them.

^?Signs indicate something needs to be done about the pooled lava. I suggest you search the surroundings.

^?In order to most effectively protect Scrapper, I recommend you make use of your bow to dispatch monsters that attempt to attack the robot.

^?In order to find the propeller, I advise you to descend to the surface and use your dowsing ability to search for it.

^?This is the Fire Dragon's Hall. It is even hotter here than other places we've been in the volcano.

I can confirm this mechanism is the same as the one found at the Earth Temple.

^?This is the Earth Temple. Signs indicate it was built here because of the subterranean caverns below.

Just as at Skyview Temple, many defensive mechanisms were built here to discourage would-be intruders.

When you are unable to progress, I recommend you press [C] to look around and check your surroundings for anything you may have missed. You also have the option to press [B] and explore using your Beetle.

^?This is Lanayru Desert. Over many centuries, the sand has covered nearly all remnants of the past.

^?Some of the monsters of this region produce an electrical field that can paralyze anything that touches them.

As a protective measure, I recommend using a Wooden Shield. You should also consider keeping a Revitalizing Potion or a spare shield in your pouch.

^?I recommend you open your map with [+] and study the local terrain before you continue on.

^?This is the northwestern region of Lanayru Desert. The Temple of Time is visible from this location. We stand at the temple's front gate. When you can't progress any farther, I recommend investigating the complex terrain of the area to see if you find anything hidden. Master, due to the topography of the local terrain, visibility will be limited. Your Beetle's exploratory capabilities are suited to tackling this problem.

^?This is the Lanayru Sand Sea. Though it may seem implausible, I assure you that this area once featured a vast body of water. I have detected the presence of many monsters in the area, though they are a weaker variety than those found in areas to the north.

^?This is Lanayru Gorge. Of all the Timeshift Stone mining areas here, this was the very first to be mined.

^?I detect the bones of a large creature to the south. I calculate an 85% chance you can obtain information about it by using your Beetle to explore the area.

^?While exploring Lanayru Gorge, I suggest you stock your pouch with items that will help you maintain your health. You might also consider drinking Stamina and Invincibility Potions together when you need to quickly react to unforeseen circumstances.

^?Signs indicate a 75% chance that these robots can provide you with useful information. I recommend listening to what they have to say.

^?The robots in the area warned that the Life Tree Seedling you possess must be planted somewhere other than Lanayru Province. I recommend locating a place that will provide ample time for the seedling to grow.

^?The Life Tree Fruit you have obtained is needed to cure the Thunder Dragon, who dwells in Lanayru Gorge.

^?In areas of sinksand, you can vastly increase your ease of travel by drinking a Stamina Potion and Invincibility Potion together.

^?This is Lanayru Mining Facility. In ancient times, this was a hub of highly advanced technology.

^?The ancient machinery is now broken and rusted. The switch that operates these machines is buried under sand.

^?The Gust Bellows generates a high- velocity stream of air that can blow away various objects.

If you use this new device, my analysis indicates you will have a significantly increased chance of opening a path that was previously blocked to you.

^?Some maps you obtain contain hints that are hidden to the human eye.

When you can't go any further, I recommend you open your map with [+] and look closely for potential clues.

^?Press [Z] to lock on to an enemy, then press [d-pad down] to ask me for analysis.

In some circumstances, it will take me a while to compile and calculate my analysis, but I predict an 85% chance you will find my results helpful.

^?With a mighty gust of wind, that which is hidden in the sand will become visible, and the way will be revealed.

^?In the present time, some objects are no longer functional due to extreme age, but they can be returned to an active state when time is shifted back. I calculate an 85% chance the path ahead will open if you continue within the confines of the time-shifted area.

^?There is a drawing on the western wall. Signs indicate it may have something to do with the mechanisms in this room.

^?This is the Sandship. Long ago, it was seized by monsters.

^?I recommend exploring the interior of the ship to locate the sacred flame.

^?You need to release the Timeshift Stone again. There is a 95% probability the closed cover can be opened using the switch at the top of the mast.

^?My analysis indicates that it is possible to charge a Skyward Strike in the usual fashion even within the close confines of the ship.

^?Master, thanks to your efforts, the ship has been returned to the captain and crew.

By striking the Timeshift Stone on the main mast, you can transport yourself between the present and past in the surrounding space.

^?When fighting in narrow passageways, it is much more effective to attack with shield bashes and sword thrusts than by swinging your sword.

^?This mechanism is the same as the one you previously encountered that required four gemstone switches to be struck in the correct order. On the left and right, you will find steering wheels with their upper halves painted red.

Finally, 80% of the room itself is covered in a blanket of sand. The floor itself is hidden. Careful and thorough exploration of the room is required.

^?If you open your map with [+], you will be able to access a lot of information, including a designation for what door you can open using the Small Key.

^?I have confirmed that the mechanism that sits atop the main mast can be triggered using your bow and arrows.

I calculate an 85% probability that activating this mechanism will yield a favorable result, allowing you to progress forward.

^?I infer that the crew members LD-301 Skipper asked you to rescue are located at the [X] point on the map.

^?The Timeshift Stone installed on the main mast, if used properly, has an 85% probability of clearing the ship interior of obstacles. I conjecture that it is possible to strike the Timeshift Stone outside from within the ship as long as it is visible from your location.

^?I have confirmed the object sitting high on the main mast is a Timeshift Stone. When activated, it will have a dramatic effect on the ship.

^?You are located in the northeastern area of the Sealed Grounds. An ancient forest remains here, seemingly preserved in time. The Woodland Rhino Beetle makes its home here. If you roll into a wall and cause it to shake, it will likely fall down. You can then capture the bug.

^?We are now located at the Sealed Grounds. There is a large spiral- shaped depression in the ground.

It is unclear whether this topography is natural or artificial.

In this area, I recommend carrying heart-replenishing items in your pouch.

^?This place is called the Sealed Temple. Judging by the extent of structural degradation, I project that it has stood here for a very long time. Due to its solid stone construction, the air inside is relatively cool. There is also an unquantifiable mystery to this place. I detect no monsters here.

^?This place has a 99% visual correlation with the Sealed Temple.

However, unlike the Sealed Temple you are familiar with, this building has not suffered any long-term structural degradation.

^?This is an island known as the Isle of Songs. It is a place mentioned in the Ballad of the Goddess, an ancient song handed down in Skyloft.

^?If you push and activate the rotating device in the center of the island, it appears that the surrounding structures move with it. Signs indicate it is a mechanism designed to enable entrance into the building ahead.

^?It is likely you will continue to encounter puzzling challenges like this one in the future.

If you find yourself unable to proceed, there is a 70% chance that speaking to the Sheikah Stone next to the Sparring Hall in Skyloft will provide a hint.

^?You are currently located inside Farore's Flame Chamber. It is a sacred place protected by the power of the goddess. The sword-enhancing sacred flame is located here.

^?You are currently located inside Din's Flame Chamber. It is a sacred place protected by the power of the goddess.

The sword-enhancing sacred flame is located here.

^?This is the underground channel that leads away from Lake Floria, which is located in the southern part of Faron Woods. When you can't go any further, press [2] to check your possible actions. That should help reveal what you need to do to proceed.

^?This is the Thrill Digger area. It is a game run by a Mogma called Tubert.

It appears as though there is another Mogma here. There is a 95% chance that he has some information.

^?Your current location is the Sky Spring. It is a sacred place protected by the power of the goddess.

According to legend, the water here purifies the body of any life-form that comes into direct contact with it.

^?This is the Earth Spring. It is a sacred place protected by the power of the goddess.

According to legend, the water here purifies the body of any life-form that comes into direct contact with it.

^?Yes, Master.

^?This place has no name registered in my memory, and I have no useful data to share about it.

If you want to check your current location, press [+] to view the map.

^?We are at the Sealed Grounds. The Isle of the Goddess descended from the sky and landed in the vast spiral- shaped depression in the ground. I have also detected that certain breeds of insect, formerly absent from the surface, are now living in the area.

^?In this Ancient Cistern, purified water is released into the upper area of the facility, while the filtered impurities are processed in the lower area.

^?A stone tablet sits in front of the large statue in the center of the cistern.

I calculate a 90% chance that it contains information that will aid you in navigating this facility.

^?I have logged the following words that you discovered written on the stone tablet in front of the large statue.

"Carved into the great statue are inscriptions of gratitude. They reveal the secret order of this temple." "First the back, then the rear, then the back of the right palm, and finally the back of the left palm."

^?The giant green lily pads in this area can be turned upside down by jumping down onto them from a great height.

^?When fighting an enemy who wields multiple swords, aim your strikes for the undefended areas between its blades. If the enemy guards itself from above, below, left, and right, there is a 75% chance the enemy will be momentarily vulnerable to attacks to its center.

^?If you find yourself with questions about unfamiliar switches or objects, do not hesitate to summon me.

Target the object in question by holding [Z]. Next, while targeting, press [d-pad down] and I will report any information I have on the subject.

^?In some cases, once you've latched on to an object with your Whip, you can hang from it and use it as you would when holding on to a rope.

^?Master, your Beetle has the ability to sever thin cords or filaments, such as strands of rope or Deku Baba stems.

^?The Whip has the ability to both strike and latch on to objects on the other side of this set of iron bars.

^?It appears that by activating this mechanism, a portion of the statue has receded into the ground.

I conjecture that you should now be able to access an underground area from inside the statue.

^?When the path ahead seems closed to you, I recommend utilizing your Beetle to conduct a thorough search of the area. If you survey the area in this fashion, I calculate an 80% probability that you will find a hidden mechanism that will aid your exploration of the area.

^?There is a 90% chance you will need to change the direction of the rotating mechanism multiple times before you can gain access to the path forward.

^?You can latch on to a variety of objects with your whip.

If an object can be targeted with [Z], I recommend you try to attach your whip to it to see if there is a result.

^?This is the Fire Sanctuary. It is located on Eldin Volcano, near the crater of the volcano. The temperature inside the sanctuary is extremely high. Signs indicate that the Water Fruit that hangs from the ceiling will prove quite useful in this oppressive heat.

^?This is Lanayru Mine. Ore was mined here at one time, but it is no longer an active mine.

You can see the remnants of a highly efficient transport system here. Mined ore was carried in carts that ran on an ancient form of energy. These carts are vital to moving around this area. Grab a cart with [A], and move it with [control stick].

^?Master, this is a world built from your memories by Lanayru, the Thunder Dragon. Just as in the real world, there is a danger of losing your life here.

^?This is Faron Woods. The whole forest has been turned into a lake.

^?I recommend searching above the water for the dragon you seek.

^?The origin of the current flood has been confirmed as the base of the great tree. I recommend a thorough search of that area.

^?Sets of same-colored, musical-note- shaped creatures here must be collected within a set time or I project they will swim off your score.

^?It appears that using your underwater spin maneuver pulls nearby Tadtones toward you, making it easier to collect them.

^?Performing lengthy tasks underwater can be made easier through the use of Air Potions, which can be purchased from the Potion Shop in Skyloft.

^?Your current location is the Lanayru Caves. Routes to all areas of Lanayru Province intersect here.

You can sit on a lone chair here to restore your health.

^?I have no record of this place. Analysis suggests this is a space created by the powerful magic of Demise.

That may be the reason you can't use your Skyward Strike here.

^?This is Bamboo Island.

It is the secluded hideaway of Peater, father of the Item Check clerk, Peatrice. Here, you can attempt the Clean Cut bamboo-slicing game.

^?This is the Lumpy Pumpkin, a refreshment-distribution hub run by Pumm. It has established local renown for its pumpkin soup.

^?When you are fighting a Deku Baba, pay attention to how it opens its mouth and swing your sword accordingly. It is also effective to shield bash the Deku Baba at the moment it attacks.

^?You can spend the Rupees or treasure you have obtained during your travels at the bazaar to buy items or enhance your existing items. I highly recommend that you visit the bazaar whenever you return to Skyloft.

^?You can use the treasure and materials you find during your adventures to enhance and upgrade your items.

^?When fighting in narrow passageways, it is much more effective to attack with shield bashes and sword thrusts than by swinging your sword.

^?In addition to the Triforce, I detect a strong evil aura in this room.

There is an 85% probability that a powerful monster dwells here. Be sure to carefully monitor your health for any precipitous drops.

^?I recommend carefully looking around to gather information that may help you advance through this area.

^?It is possible to use your dowsing ability to locate hidden objects or creatures.

However, you may need to use your sword to strike an object with a creature hiding behind it in order to scare the creature out into the open.

^?Your dowsing ability can detect objects through walls and terrain, so if you cannot see the target, you may need to go around and search the other side.

^?I suggest you press [+] to check and see if there are any areas you have not yet visited.

Simulations have shown that in 90% of these scenarios, a newly obtained item will allow you to enter an area you have not yet visited.

^?There is an 85% probability that your Slingshot will allow you to make new discoveries in Skyloft.

I recommend experimenting with your Slingshot in a variety of locations there.

I recommend a thorough investigation of these locations when you have the opportunity.

^?In most cases, mechanisms that control the operation of gates and portcullises can be found nearby.

Using your Beetle to explore the surrounding environment is an effective method of locating these switches.

^?This is the Knight Academy.

^?This building contains Zelda's room, among others, but it is currently locked.

^?Recently, there have been rumors of an unsettling noise coming from the restroom at night.

^?If you have sustained damage, a visit to your room is advisable. Sitting on the chair located in your room will allow you to restore your hearts.

Incidentally, you may wish to note that you can sleep in the bed found in his shop.

I recommend that you be sure to study the fatal blow technique that is taught to students of this academy.

^?There is a 95% chance that fulfilling Batreaux's request will allow you to obtain a number of items that you will find useful in your adventures.

^?This is Bertie's house. He infuses and enhances potions.

^?The potions sold in the bazaar during the day will prove very useful on your adventure.

^?Signs indicate that Bertie is currently experiencing a problem when he returns home from work and has to care for his young child. You may be able to help him, Master.

^?This is Pipit's house.

^?His mother, Mallara, can't stand cleaning up, so their house is always in various states of uncleanliness.

It may be possible for you to assist them later, but for now there is a 95% probability you will be unable to help.

^?His mother, Mallara, can't stand cleaning up, so their house is always in various states of uncleanliness.

If you possess an item that could blow away the dust with a gust of wind, then you may be able to help, Master.

^?Thanks to your efforts, the room is now clean.

I recommend you seek out other people who may need your help, Master.

^?This is Rupin the gear peddler's house. There is an 85% chance that visiting at night will reveal the true Rupin, who differs from his daytime persona.

^?Master, when you are in need of advice on your travels, I calculate a 75% probability that visiting the fortune-teller will be helpful.

^?This is Orielle and Parrow's house.

^?Analysis indicates that we may not currently accomplish anything here at this time.

^?You have been asked by Parrow to search for his sister Orielle, who went out on her Loftwing but has yet to return. There is reason to believe she headed to the southwestern area of the sky. You should start your search there.

^?Orielle's safe return to Skyloft has made Parrow very happy.

^?This is Kukiel's house.

^?Jakamar is the local handyman of Skyloft.

He lives together with his wife, Wryna, and his daughter, Kukiel.

^?Jakamar and Wryna are delighted to see their daughter, Kukiel, returned safely to them.

^?This is Piper's house. She lives here with her son, Gully.

I have no other relevant information on this location.

^?Skipper's Retreat is on this island. I estimate that your whip and Clawshots will be needed to traverse this dramatic and forbidding terrain.

^?The Shipyard is on this island.

If you incorrectly operate the cart and fall off the track, you will not lose any hearts. As long as you operate it calmly, you will be fine.

^?This is Skipper's Retreat. I recommend getting rid of the Aracha before looking for the sea chart.

^?This is the Pirate Stronghold. If you want to return to the sea, talk to the Skipper.

^?There seems to be a waterfall here. Some water would be perfect for quenching your thirst in a hot area like this.

^?I can confirm that this area has changed greatly as a result of the volcanic eruption.

If you find yourself unsure how to proceed, I recommend talking to the Sheikah Stone in the south.

^?There is an abundance of heart flowers growing here. Be sure to use them to restore your health as needed. A heart-flower stem that has already been picked once will produce another heart if you pour water from a bottle on it.

^?A Bug Net is best for catching Fairies, but it is also possible to catch them by scooping them up directly with an Empty Bottle.

^?This is the inner sanctum of the Earth Temple.

When the time comes to make a certain decision, it would be good to remember this legend.

^?The stone bird statues in this room appear to each have a different number of wings.

^?I detect an evil presence behind the door that the Mysterious Crystal you obtained should open. I recommend restoring your hearts before entering.

The column of light is to the south of Skyloft.

^?Search the surface and look for clues to ascertain Zelda's whereabouts as quickly as possible.

^?I've detected remnants of civilization here on the surface. I advise you to first explore the area near where you touched down.

^?If we can locate all of the Kikwis scattered throughout the area, it is likely the elder Kikwi will be able to provide helpful information.

^?I recommend that you climb onto Bucha's back and take the Kikwi heirloom.

^?Based on oral reports from the Kikwis we have encountered, I calculate a 95% chance that Zelda headed to the temple located deep in Faron Woods. Master, I advise that you travel to that location as quickly as possible.

^?There is an 85% probability that Zelda currently resides in Skyview Temple located in the northeastern area of Faron Woods. I anticipate the temple will be occupied by a large number of monsters. You must locate Zelda as fast as possible.

^?Based on the song from the goddess statue within Skyview Temple, there is a 97% chance Zelda has headed for Eldin Province. I advise you to take the tablet you just acquired and place it in the altar housed within the Statue of the Goddess in Skyloft. Doing so should result in the creation of a new column of light through which you can access Eldin Province.

^?Based on the song from the goddess statue within Skyview Temple, there is a 97% chance Zelda has headed for Eldin Province. I recommend diving into the column of light that leads to the Eldin Province.

^?Based on the song from the goddess statue heard within Skyview Temple, there is a 90% probability that Zelda is now in Eldin Province. To ascertain Zelda's whereabouts as quickly as possible, it will be most effective to look for local life-forms who may have seen her pass by.

^?Judging by the discussions of the Mogmas you met on Eldin Volcano, I infer that Zelda has been taken by a monster to a temple on the volcano.

^?You are currently looking for the key to open the temple door. This key has been split into five pieces which can be located with your dowsing ability.

^?You have reassembled the key to the temple on Eldin Volcano, and you are headed there to open its door.

^?There is an 85% probability that Zelda has headed to the Temple of Time in the western region of Lanayru Desert.

Her objective is currently unknown, but I recommend that you hurry to the Temple of Time as well, Master.

As the temple gate is currently unusable, the only way into the temple is through Lanayru Mining Facility.

^?Based on what the unidentified person with Zelda in the Temple of Time said, speaking with the old woman in the Sealed Grounds may aid your search.

^?To reach Zelda, you must enhance your sword using the sacred flames of the three provinces.

Evidence suggests the Ballad of the Goddess, which has been known in Skyloft for generations, may hold a clue to the location of these flames. Analysis indicates your best course of action is to search Skyloft and learn what you can of this song.

^?The lyrics of the Ballad of the Goddess that you heard from Gaepora mention directing the two great whirling sails toward the Light Tower. That tower stands in Skyloft's plaza.

^?Although the meaning of this phrase is unclear, I recommend that you search around Skyloft for two things that could be construed as whirling sails.

^?Although a connection with the two sails is not 100% certain, it is clear that a propeller from a Skyloft windmill has fallen below the clouds. I recommend you look for a way to retrieve this propeller.

^?Although a connection with the two sails is not 100% certain, it is clear that a propeller from a Skyloft windmill has fallen below the clouds. It is possible to locate the propeller using your dowsing ability.

^?To reach Zelda, you must enhance your sword using the sacred flames of the three provinces.

^?To learn the location of the sacred flame in Faron Province, you must find sacred water for the Water Dragon.

I have registered the sacred water as a target you can now search for using your dowsing ability.

^?To reach Zelda, you must enhance your sword using the sacred flames of the three provinces.

The Water Dragon stated that Farore's Flame, one of the sacred flames, can be found in the Ancient Cistern.

There is a 95% chance that you can reach new areas within Eldin Province using the Fireshield Earrings you got from the trial on Eldin Volcano.

^?Your current objective is to search Eldin Province for the third sacred flame that will enhance your sword.

There is a strong possibility that this flame is housed in the large structure you discovered, but the entrance is blocked by a wall of flames. Based on my projections, in order to extinguish the fire you will need a large amount of water and a vessel in which to transport it. You should focus your efforts on securing these items.

^?You are currently searching for the sacred flame that will enhance your sword.

^?To extinguish the wall of fire blocking your path beyond the summit, you need to transport the giant water basin used by the Water Dragon.

I recommend you activate the Gate of Time using the power of your newly enhanced sword.

^?At present, your most urgent priority is sealing away the unidentified monster that is attempting to rouse itself.

^?The giant monster that appeared in the Sealed Grounds has been driven back into captivity again.

My assessment is that this creature poses no additional threat for the moment.

^?The time has finally come to awaken the Gate of Time using the power of your enhanced sword. I suggest you make this your immediate priority.

^?Master, you have now passed through the Gate of Time.

^?There is an 80% probability that you can get information about the Triforce from Levias, the great spirit of the skies.

^?There is an 85% chance that talking with the owner of the Lumpy Pumpkin will yield information that will aid your search for Levias.

^?However, Levias is behaving in a highly aggressive manner. It is impossible to talk with him in this state.

I suggest you utilize the Spiral Charge to dislodge the foreign objects attached to him.

^?Ghirahim has abducted Zelda and fled into the past with her. You must chase after Zelda as quickly as possible.

^?Ghirahim has used the power of Zelda's soul to revive Demise. I'm afraid to report that further analysis of the situation is impossible.

^?Demise has once again broken the seal that binds him in an attempt to free himself and return to full power.

If you fail to beat back this monster and gain more time to search for the Triforce, I estimate you have less than a 1% chance of completing your quest.

^?I project that the soil in Lanayru Province will not provide enough nourishment for the Life Tree Seedling to grow and produce fruit. In order to obtain this fruit, which the Thunder Dragon seeks, you must find a place to plant it where the tree can grow strong over many long years.

^?Master, I recommend you take the Life Tree Fruit to the Thunder Dragon in Lanayru Province.

I project a 90% chance that the Thunder Dragon will agree to teach you his part of the Song of the Hero if the fruit restores him to health.

^?Master, your primary objective is to defeat the enemy here and overcome the grueling task the Thunder Dragon, Lanayru, has set before you.

^?You are currently searching for a sacred flame in Eldin Province that will enhance and augment your sword.

You have found a structure that is highly likely to contain the sacred flame, but the entrance is blocked by a wall of flame. There is an 80% chance that you will need the Water Dragon's tub to successfully extinguish the flames.

^?Although details are currently unclear, I have detected a massive disturbance in the vicinity of the great pit in the Sealed Grounds. You must carry out the task the old woman has asked of you and deal with it.

^?I calculate a 99% probability that the Triforce is somewhere in the structure that appeared at the base of the Isle of the Goddess. The Triforce has power capable of vanquishing Demise. I recommend a thorough exploration of this structure's interior areas.

^?Current Session Play Time: ##:## Total Play Time: ##:## This concludes my analysis.

^?Zelda's presence seems to have vanished. I recommend a sweep of the area.

^?I lack the data required to perform an accurate analysis of the current situation.

^?This is the Fire Sanctuary. Readings indicate an extremely hostile aura in the area.

My analysis of this aura leads me to conclude that this foe is highly intelligent. He will likely employ a variety of cunning attacks.

^?We are inside the thunderhead. Analysis reveals a parasitical monster on the great spirit of the sky, Levias, has caused him to go mad. When in combat, be careful of strong winds and unstable footholds.

^?In this area of Sky Keep, there are many complicated contraptions. Master, your wisdom will be tested here.

^?You are currently located in Sky Keep. The pathway here is too narrow to dodge enemy attacks.

I recommend making good use of your shield bash, as I project it will be difficult to find heart-replenishment opportunities.

^?You are located inside Sky Keep. No monsters exist here, though I infer exploring this area will not be easy.

To aid you, Master, I will increase analytical granularity and provide situational analysis for each section.

^?These are the Lanayru Caves. I detect no monsters in the area.

^?This is Eldin Volcano. You will likely encounter a limited number of monsters here that are capable of shooting fire arrows from a distance. In the alarming event you catch on fire, you can extinguish yourself using a roll or spin attack.

^?In the bazaar, you can use Rupees and treasures dropped by defeated monsters to buy and upgrade items.

^?Pouch items that focus on heart replenishment are unnecessary in this area. I recommend removing non- combat pouch items.

^?Be prepared to engage monsters that attack in hordes.

^?Use of your limited supply of pouch items should be avoided when possible.

^?Certain monsters will drop treasure upon defeat, but I would discourage you from taking any unnecessary risks when seeking treasure in this fashion.

^?There is little here that will put your life in danger. I recommend using this opportunity to sharpen your sword techniques in smaller battles.

^?The structure of this enclosed space will hamper the speed with which you discover monsters, increasing the chance of unexpected damage to 75%. I recommend keeping a large quantity of potions with you.

^?Your life should not be in danger as long as you avoid engaging multiple enemies in combat.

^?Your current selection of pouch items does not sufficiently protect you. I recommend carrying defensive and health-replenishing pouch items.

^?My projections indicate the danger to your life will be limited if you remain calm and engage monsters confidently.

Use your health-replenishing items sparingly.

^?Use of weapons and items is not possible underwater. You must protect yourself by other means.

^?Analysis indicates use of your current selection of items will be limited due to the large sections of this area that are underwater.

^?Analysis indicates use of your current selection of items will be limited due to the large sections of this area that are underwater.

^?Your pouch items are suitable to this environment, but caution is advised due to the presence of airborne, land-dwelling, and marine monsters.

^?Your current selection of pouch items is highly suitable for this environment.

You will be able to respond to a wide range of circumstances. This is ideal for a facility as complex as this one.

^?Analysis indicates a large number of monsters with varying characteristics.

You will need to prepare a suitable loadout of pouch items and adapt to circumstances as you proceed.

^?You are somewhat prepared for this area, but due to the presence of air, land, and aquatic enemies, I suggest you exercise caution.

^?You will not be able to use items and weapons while underwater. Search for other ways to defend yourself.

^?I recommend keeping Air Potions or Heart Potions handy in case of oxygen depletion and any resulting heart loss.

^?I recommend keeping Air Potions or Heart Potions handy in case of oxygen depletion and any resulting heart loss.

^?Your selection of pouch items is highly suited to this environment. However, you will not be able to use pouch items while underwater.

^?You will sustain injury when your clothes are set on fire. I recommend carrying sufficient recovery items in your pouch.

^?I project a high probability that you will sustain damage from both monsters and magma.

I recommend carrying recovery and defensive items in your pouch.

^?With your current selection of items, I estimate an 85% chance of serious health loss before finding treasure or Rupees.

^?There is minimal danger when you are set on fire by an enemy attack, provided you react calmly and quickly.

^?You will continue to take damage while your clothing is on fire. I recommend carrying plenty of recovery items in your pouch.

^?Even minor injuries can become life threatening if you sustain enough of them. Remain cautious.

^?The layout of the sanctuary is quite complex. It will be less dangerous to explore in stages, frequently returning to Skyloft to rest and resupply.

^?My projections indicate you may have difficulty fighting with the pouch items you are carrying.

I highly recommend that you save your progress whenever you encounter a bird statue.

^?You are equipped to handle the loss of a few hearts, but you must remain cautious. There are a large number of strong foes in the area.

^?It is possible to attack Bokoblins positioned on towers and high ground using your bow and bombs.

Your chance of a successful attack is higher if you strike before you are noticed.

^?Bokoblins are constructing a fortress on high ground. I recommend employing weapons with long-range attack capability.

^?You are carrying mostly noncombat items in your pouch, so I currently project a 65% probability that you will encounter difficult combat conditions. I recommend making sure you are fully equipped to handle long-range attack capability.

^?Most of the enemies in this area are Bokoblins, so I project you are in little danger of running out of hearts.

Attack is the best defense here.

^?Monsters can appear without warning. You will need to be ready to switch between your sword and other weapons at a moment's notice.

^?Lanayru Province, our current location, is vast in size. I recommend careful rationing of items that do not regenerate themselves.

^?You are not well suited to this environment. I recommend avoiding unnecessary combat.

^?Your gear is suitable for this vast desert environment. You should be able to explore relatively safely.

^?There are many monsters in this area that can attack from a distance. Be prepared to lose hearts.

^?You are equipped to adapt to a variety of circumstances.

However, the possibility of trouble will increase if you alter your current balance of pouch items.

^?Because of the significant number of powerful enemies in the area, I highly recommend carrying pouch items that focus on recovery and defense.

^?You are carrying a number of pouch items that are ineffective in battle. This may lead to the unplanned consumption of recovery pouch items.

^?It will be difficult to explore the vast Lanayru Sand Sea with only combat- focused items in your pouch.

You'll need to take measures to preserve and recover hearts when necessary.

^?Your preparations for preserving and recovering hearts are insufficient. If you want to proceed as is, be cautious in both exploration and combat.

^?The Lanayru Sand Sea is quite vast. I recommend prioritizing equipment that will help preserve and recover hearts.

^?Your gear is more suited to this area than other types. Prioritize heart preservation when exploring the Lanayru Sand Sea.

^?The inside of the ship features many small rooms and corridors. Close combat is expected, so take equipment that mitigates heart depletion.

^?Your pouch-item loadout can adapt well to many scenarios, but you can increase suitability by 10% by adding damage-mitigating pouch items.

^?The inside of the ship has narrow corridors where combat cannot be avoided. I project you will lose a number of hearts in this area.

^?Your pouch items correctly focus on defense and recovery. Be aware, though, that close combat will likely be unavoidable in the ship's corridors.

^?Analysis shows close combat will be frequent here. Equipment suited to long-range combat will be ineffective. You will need hearts for the assault.

^?My projections indicate you are likely to be injured in combat because you will be traversing a number of narrow platforms here. I recommend carrying pouch items that are ideal for defense and heart recovery.

^?My projections indicate you are likely to be injured in combat because you will be traversing a number of narrow platforms here. I recommend carrying pouch items that are ideal for defense and heart recovery.

^?Analysis indicates this place is home to hordes of monsters. If you encounter them, I suggest employing heart- recovery and preservation measures.

^?I detect no particular danger here.

^?Monster numbers here are unknown. You may find yourself in danger if you do not have adequate defensive and recovery capabilities.

^?You do not have enough Heart Potions. I recommend you do whatever is necessary to obtain every single heart that a monster drops.

^?Monster numbers here are unknown. You may find yourself in danger if you do not have adequate defensive and recovery capabilities.

^?Monster numbers here are unknown. Equipment that will assist you with hearts may be the best choice.

^?I cannot offer my usual analysis because you are currently engaged in a challenge created by the Thunder Dragon Lanayru.

^?I do not have any relevant information to report at this time.

^?In this area, pouch items that enhance long-distance weapons, such as the bow, will be most effective.

^?You have a high probability of sustaining injury when you approach monsters that shoot fire arrows. Carry health-recovery pouch items.

^?You could be ambushed by fire-arrow- shooting monsters at any time. I suggest using items that allow you to deal swiftly with these monsters.

^?You have a high probability of sustaining injury when you approach monsters that shoot fire arrows. Only a few potions may not be enough.

^?To make matters worse, your Wooden Shield is not well suited to defend you from fire-based attacks. I do not recommend that you equip it.

^?Furthermore, your Iron Shield will not defend you against electrical attacks. I do not recommend that you use it.

^?Master, your current selection of pouch items is [var].

^?Suitability to current location is #%.

^?Your offensive options are limited while battling with this monster.

I recommend carrying more recovery pouch items and potions to ensure effectiveness.

^?My analysis suggests you should attempt to anticipate your opponent's moves and react quickly.

However, I suggest focusing on defense rather than offense because of the lack of recovery items in your pouch.

^?My analysis reveals that you will be much more prepared for this area if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?In a situation where a monster utilizes several types of attacks, you are likely to take significant damage until you fully understand their strategy. I recommend doing what you can to preserve your hearts while you focus on quickly analyzing attack patterns.

^?You will be able to mount an aggressive assault on your opponents with the current high proportion of combat items in your pouch. However, your ability to recover is limited, so you should avoid taking damage whenever possible.

^?You have plenty of recovery and attack pouch items. If you utilize them effectively, you will have an 80% chance of success in the battle. However, Master, you must still be very careful. This monster has superior offensive and defensive capabilities.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?I theorize that ascertaining this monster's pattern of attack should be comparatively easy.

However, your stock of pouch items that allow you to attack this enemy is limited. As such, there is a 75% chance this battle will drag on.

^?There is a 90% probability that the majority of your weaponry will be ineffective against your current foe.

Taking sufficient heart-recovery measures will be vital for the lengthy battle that is likely to ensue.

^?I calculate an 80% probability that the battle will drag on due to your limited offensive options and relatively small windows for attack. My analysis suggests that you should remove any pouch items not needed for battle.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?I calculate an 80% probability that the battle will drag on due to your limited offensive options and relatively small windows for attack. Since you are likely to sustain a lot of injuries, finding the right moment to recover hearts will be critical.

^?The efficient use of pouch items will give you quite an advantage.

It is probable that you will eventually have to engage in direct combat. When your hearts are low, you should take appropriate precautions.

^?You currently carry a mixture of useful and suboptimal pouch items.

I recommend a careful assessment of the pouch items you are carrying.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

You have a limited time frame in which to imprison it. Doing so may force you to put yourself in harm's way, so be prepared to sustain some damage.

^?The aura of the monster here is overwhelmingly powerful. Do not rely on the support pouch items to be particularly effective in your battle.

^?You currently carry a mix of useful and suboptimal pouch items. I recommend you remove items that do not directly serve your purposes.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

You have a limited time frame in which to imprison it. Doing so may force you to put yourself in harm's way, so be prepared to sustain some damage.

^?I have detected the aura of an extremely powerful monster.

Master, my analysis has revealed something troubling. Neither your sword nor your items will likely be very effective against this enemy.

^?I have concluded that the majority of the items in your pouch will be ineffective during your battle against this monster. The monster itself appears to be evolving, growing larger and more powerful with each moment.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?This monster is overwhelmingly powerful. It will not be effective to challenge it directly in your current state and with the sword you wield. I recommend reevaluating and changing your entire fighting style.

^?You have a limited number of effective offensive options. The probability that your battle equipment will be completely ineffective is 90%. There is also a great danger that your heart-recovery pouch items will be insufficient, which may prove lethal if you are unable to end the fight quickly.

^?You currently carry a mix of useful and suboptimal pouch items.

I recommend you remove items that do not directly serve your purposes.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?I calculate an 80% probability that the battle will drag on due to your limited offensive options and relatively small windows for attack. My analysis indicates you are likely to incur significant damage, so finding the right time to recover hearts will be imperative.

^?Your current selection of pouch items will prove useful in this battle to some degree but aren't absolutely necessary.

According to my analysis, Master, given your current combat capabilities, you are free to carry other types of pouch items should you wish to do so.

^?Your pouch items represent the bare minimum required for attack, defense, and recovery. Consider choosing a better selection of pouch items. If you decide to continue with your present configuration, please be extremely vigilant during battle.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?You are equipped to withstand the monster's fierce offensive capabilities to a limited degree.

You are not, however, at the optimal level of safety, so take full advantage of any chance to damage your foe.

^?Your opponent is highly intelligent and has powerful offensive capability. The probability of achieving victory with the help of support items is 5%. Direct attack methods are judged to have the best chance of inflicting damage.

^?You are not carrying many items in your pouch that will aid you in battle.

My analysis shows you lacking in pouch items that aid in defense and heart recovery.

^?My analysis indicates you can increase your suitability to this environment by increasing the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?In a situation where a monster utilizes several types of attacks, you are likely to take significant damage until you fully understand its strategy. I recommend doing what you can to preserve your hearts while you focus on quickly analyzing its attack pattern.

^?You are carrying a number of items in your pouch that will be of little to no use in this location.

Be careful not to lose too many hearts.

^?In the event you battle with this monster, you will have a limited number of effective offensive measures at your disposal. I recommend maintaining a supply of recovery pouch items and potions to ensure survivability.

^?My analysis indicates you can increase your suitability to this environment by increasing the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?Analysis shows that the parasite inhabiting Levias has relatively poor offensive capabilities. As such, I judge the probability of defeat at 30%. However, the danger to you will increase significantly if the battle becomes drawn out.

^?Your opponent is highly intelligent and has powerful attacks. The probability of achieving victory with the help of support items is 5%. Direct attack methods will be most effective at defeating this opponent.

^?The contents of your pouch are of limited use.

My analysis of your pouch items reveals the need for more items that will increase your defense and heart-recovery capability.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?In a situation where a monster utilizes several types of attacks, you are likely to sustain significant damage until you fully understand its strategy. I estimate an 80% chance that your current battle will be a prolonged one.

My analysis of these conditions indicates that keeping an abundance of recovery items in your pouch will improve your chances of survival.

^?Your opponent is highly intelligent and has superior combat techniques. The effectiveness of the items currently in your pouch is estimated at 10%. I infer that in order to inflict damage, you must break your opponent's guard with superior technique, then make a direct attack while his guard is down.

^?When your opponent's defenses are set, there is an increased chance of taking damage while you master the method for breaking his guard. I also surmise that your present equipment does not have enough means for recovering health.

^?My analysis indicates you will be better suited to engaging this enemy in battle if you increase the proportion of recovery items in your pouch.

^?When your opponent's defenses are set, there is an increased chance of taking damage while you master the method for breaking his guard. I recommend continuously replenishing health as you test various attacks in an attempt to break through.

^?I have confirmed the presence of a variety of monsters in the vicinity.

If you effectively utilize weapons other than your sword, I calculate an 80% chance of gaining the advantage in battle.

^?You don't need additional battle and recovery pouch items. Using these pouch items efficiently will increase your probability of survival by 50%.

^?There is an increased probability of obtaining treasure here because of the unusual variety of monsters.

However, you should expect more- challenging battles, and it will be more difficult to find health- replenishment items.

^?Your selection of pouch items focuses on recovery and damage reduction.

However, be aware that there will be little time to recover your health when you are fighting multiple enemies at once.

^?There are complex contraptions here. Your effectiveness at dealing with these devices increases when you are carrying the proper pouch items.

^?Your current selection of pouch items allows you to adapt to a variety of circumstances.

^?Some types of treasure can only be obtained from certain monsters. There is a chance to obtain one such kind of rare treasure at this location.

^?You cannot use your pouch items when underground. If you want to consume a potion, you will need to return to the surface.

^?Signs indicate you can expect many opportunities to use long-range weapons at this location.

You can boost your chance of success against the various puzzles and devices of this area by carrying an abundant supply of ammunition.

^?Your selection of pouch items is highly suited to this environment, especially when compared with other, more unbalanced gear choices. However, due to the unique terrain, it may still be difficult to advance. Expect significant trouble here.

^?At this location, you can expect significant difficulty simply advancing.

Therefore, it is recommended that you refrain from collecting treasure and Rupees and instead focus on the task at hand.

^?I cannot confirm the presence of monsters at this location.

I conjecture that it is sufficient to be prepared for the possibility of injury caused by falling into molten lava.

^?When ancient monsters enter the Timeshift Orb's area of effect, there is a danger they will reanimate and immediately attack you. If this occurs while transporting the Timeshift Orb, put the orb down and ready yourself for battle as quickly as possible.

^?Your suitability should further increase if you give priority to recovery pouch items over battle pouch items.

^?When ancient monsters enter the Timeshift Orb's area of effect, there is a danger they may revive and attack you. I recommend you carry ample survivability and defense pouch items.

^?When ancient monsters enter the Timeshift Orb's area of effect, there is a 95% probability that they will reanimate and immediately attack you.

^?When ancient monsters enter the Timeshift Orb's area of effect, there is a danger they will reanimate and immediately attack you. If this occurs while transporting the Timeshift Orb, put the orb down and ready yourself for battle as quickly as possible.

^?When ancient monsters enter the Timeshift Orb's area of effect, there is a danger they will reanimate and immediately attack you.

^?Regardless of your current selection of pouch items, I do not calculate a significant difference in your chances of success. However, using projectiles here will improve your effectiveness.

^?Your current pouch items allow you to adapt to a variety of circumstances.

However, these pouch items will not directly help you overcome the contraptions set here.

^?Due to your mediocre suitability rating in this location, I suggest you proceed with caution.

Before dealing with any puzzles or mechanisms in this area, I recommend defeating all nearby monsters.

^?Your preparations for heart recovery are sufficient.

However, as the surrounding terrain is precarious and forces you to move through the air at great heights, I recommend you use extra caution here.

^?There is a 10% probability that you will need to use battle items from your pouch in the present location.

When your hearts are running low, I recommend collecting more from the surrounding heart flowers.

^?The contents of your pouch are far from optimal. Instead, I recommend you prepare for the possibility of dramatic heart depletion.

^?At the present location, you should not expect to find treasure or Rupees.

To safely explore this area, I suggest equipping yourself to deal with rapid heart depletion.

^?Your current selection of pouch items allows you to recover from some injuries.

However, I recommend making good use of your shield bash, as it may be difficult to find time for recovery if you are attacked.

To ensure that you are able to find more hearts when you need them, they are now available as a target for your dowsing ability.

^?Hold [C] and choose hearts from the circle of objects to set them as your current target. This capability should prove to be quite useful.

^?You have elected to engage Hero Mode, so hearts and heart flowers will not appear.

However, if you choose to carry the Heart Medal, then hearts and heart flowers do have a chance of appearing.

^?Master, your wallet is full. You will not be able to collect any more Rupees than you currently carry.

He is known to have an attachment to a certain insect.

During the night, he buys treasures, but only the treasures he has decided to buy on that night.

^?His name is Gondo, and he is a big- hearted craftsman. He runs a business repairing broken equipment, and he lives with his elderly mother.

^?In his spare time, he attempts to repair an ancient robot he inherited from his grandfather. He has yet to get it functioning again.

^?Master, you are permitted to use the repaired robot at your discretion.

^?This is Peatrice, a sweet girl whose occupation of storing items provides little intellectual stimulation. You can store items with her at the bazaar.

^?Due to boredom, she often daydreams of meeting her ideal male counterpart, resulting in a precipitous drop in the quality of her customer service.

^?Master, your interest in this young woman is clear. I can see your aura shining brightly with joy in her presence. ...I strongly recommend that you do not mention this when you next encounter Zelda.

She is also in charge of their pumpkin patch. She finds the work exhausting and less than optimal.

^?He attends the Knight Academy with you, Master. He is often troubled by his lack of physical strength relative to other boys his age.

^?...But that is no longer the case. He increased his muscle mass by 500%. These days, he can no longer fit any known definition of "weakling." Currently, he is testing other training methods in order to increase his strength even further.

He is quite opinionated, and so not many people take this elderly man's opinions seriously.

^?This is Kukiel, a young girl who is pure of heart. She is the daughter of Skyloft's resident handyman.

She has the unique ability to get along with anyone. I conjecture this is possible because she harbors no fear or suspicion of those around her.

She hates housecleaning but adores antiques. I recommend keeping a safe distance from her.

Her daily activities include washing her son's dirty laundry. Fortunately, because of the unceasing winds in Skyloft, the clothes dry quickly.

The opposite of her son, she can be quite haphazard. She is famed for her dislike of chores, especially cleaning, even though she prefers a clean house.

In addition to running the restaurant at the bazaar, she is also a food experimenter who is always trying to find new recipes.

^?This is the hand of a ghost. The ghost's original name is unknown. Judging from its appearance, I calculate a 90% chance it belonged to a young girl. Over 80% of ghosts are said to harbor some kind of unfulfilled desire. I suggest you cease being scared and speak to her.

^?His name is Bronzi. He is a treasure hunter of the Mogma, a subterranean mole race. He quite proudly displays his gold fillings.

He's greedier than most Mogmas, and his enthusiasm for food has given him quite a belly. He has a strong sense of duty.

^?This unit's designation is LD-301S Scrapper. One of an ancient series of robots, it was passed down to Gondo and was only recently repaired. Because it can freely travel between the sky and the ground below, its function is to transport various objects. Apparently, it is highly interested in my approval.

^?Species name: Woodland Rhino Beetle Sensitivity to human presence: 60% Usable as a potion ingredient.

Roll into a wall or other object to knock this insect down. This strategy increases your chance to catch this insect by 50%.

^?Species name: Volcanic Ladybug Sensitivity to human presence: 65% Usable as a potion ingredient.

Approach carefully, making as little noise as possible. Get close with the Bug Net and catch it with a quick swing. Not considered a difficult catch.

^?Species name: Sand Cicada Sensitivity to human presence: 90% Usable as a potion ingredient.

This insect will fly away at the slightest sign of danger. I recommend you look carefully for it as soon as you hear it, then approach slowly.

^?Species name: Sky Stag Beetle Sensitivity to human presence: 70% Usable as a potion ingredient.

Roll into walls or other objects to knock them down, making them easier to catch.

^?Species name: Faron Grasshopper Sensitivity to human presence: 80% Usable as a potion ingredient.

Usually found hiding in grassy areas. If you rush after this insect, it will flee. If your approach escapes its notice, it will continue to hop around.

^?Species name: Skyloft Mantis Sensitivity to human presence: 70% Usable as a potion ingredient.

Be aware that this insect is surprisingly agile when it is fleeing, so you must approach it cautiously.

^?Species name: Lanayru Ant Sensitivity to human presence: 60% Usable as a potion ingredient.

I project a 50% probability of failing to notice this insect simply because it's small. After discovering its location, you can catch it comparatively easily.

^?Species name: Eldin Roller Sensitivity to human presence: 90% Usable as a potion ingredient.

This insect is extremely fast when it is fleeing. I project a 20% boost in capture rate if it is cornered.

^?Species name: Blessed Butterfly Sensitivity to human presence: 70% Usable as a potion ingredient.

It flutters in an unpredictable fashion. Swinging your Bug Net multiple times might bring unexpected success.

This species tends to gather in places where something lies hidden.

^?Species name: Gerudo Dragonfly Sensitivity to human presence: 80% Usable as a potion ingredient.

I recommend attempting to catch it when it pauses in the air.

^?Species name: Starry Firefly Sensitivity to human presence: 60% Usable as a potion ingredient.

This rarely encountered insect is not considered difficult to catch.

^?His name is Cawlin, and he is an ambitious and self-centered classmate of yours at the Knight Academy, Master. I sense a large disturbance in this individual's aura. There is an 85% probability that he is experiencing the emotion humans refer to as "love."

^?His name is Cawlin, and he is an ambitious and self-centered classmate of yours at the Knight Academy, Master. His criteria for judging a situation is based purely on whether it is a benefit to him. He is a schemer but will not take action publicly.

^?His name is Strich, and he is a tall and quiet student at the Knight Academy.

He is known for his interest in insects. He will even purchase insects if they interest him on that particular day.

^?His name is Strich, and he is a tall and quiet student at the Knight Academy.

He is known for his interest in insects. Currently, in an attempt to finance his dream of an insect haven on this island, he runs a bug-catching game.

^?This is Beedle, a traveling shopkeeper and proprietor of an airborne item shop that is propelled by his own physical exertion. He works hard during the daytime, so he is very serious about his nighttime rest.

He is known to have an attachment to a certain insect.

^?This is Rupin, a crafty salesman. During the day, he sells a variety of items at his Gear Shop in the bazaar.

During the night, he buys treasures, but only the treasures he has decided to buy on that night.

^?His name is Gondo, and he is a big- hearted craftsman. He runs a business repairing broken equipment, and he lives with his elderly mother.

^?Her name is Peatrice, and she is a sweet, kindhearted person. During the day, you can store pouch items with her at the Item Check.

^?She is currently dreaming about meeting her ideal male companion.

^?Master, your interest in this young woman is clear. I can see your aura shine bright with joy in her presence.

...I strongly recommend you do not mention this when you next encounter Zelda.

^?Her name is Luv, and she is a big proponent of eating and sleeping.

She runs the Potion Shop with her husband, who mixes and infuses potions. She is in charge of sales.

^?His name is Bertie, and he is a house- husband and businessman. He is responsible for infusing potions at the Potion Shop he runs with his wife. He is also responsible for looking after their child.

^?His name is Pipit. He is a talented, passionate individual. He is also your classmate at the Knight Academy.

He is training to be a master swordsman, but he also displays an immature side that allows him to be distracted by other things.

^?This is Pipit, a talented and highly enthusiastic student at the Knight Academy. He is your classmate, Master. He serves as lookout around Skyloft after dark, when it often becomes very dangerous.

^?His name is Fledge, and he was once a weak and helpless individual. He is also your classmate at the Knight Academy, Master. After working out continuously, he has built a muscular physique that allows him to easily throw heavy pumpkins up into the air without tiring.

^?This is the hand of a ghost. Identity while alive is unknown. Judging from the look of this hand, the probability that it was a young girl's is 90%. Master, the letter you gave her from Cawlin has inspired feelings for him. The ghost's original purpose for the letter is still unclear.

^?Name and other information are unknown, but signs indicate that this individual is extremely aged.

I can verify that she has a strong apprehension of impending crisis with regard to the giant monster in this area that is trying to free itself.

^?Her name is Faron, the Water Dragon. As the great protector of Faron Province, she has power over water.

However, she seems to have lost her power for the moment.

^?Her name is Impa, and she is a calm and collected individual. This female warrior was tasked by the goddess with the mission of protecting Zelda. She is mildly injured. There is a 98% probability that she sustained an injury from Ghirahim, who passed through here recently.

^?His name is Guld. He was once the leader of the Mogmas.

He has passed that role on to the next generation and taken it upon himself to start a second life tending to a pumpkin patch.

^?That is Lanayru, the Thunder Dragon. As the great protector of Lanayru Province, he has power over lightning.

He is suffering from a severe ailment that could present a great danger if left untreated.

Because it can freely travel between the sky and the ground below, this unit's function is to transport various objects. Apparently, it is highly interested in my approval.

^?This is a fossil. Signs indicate that it has been here for a great many years.

^?This bird is a Chirri. Although very small in comparison to Loftwings, Chirris are probably of an average size for birds found near the surface. There is an 85% probability that its feathers can be used as some kind of material.

006-6KenseiNormal.msbt

^?Target lock: Remlit (Day)

^?These small creatures inhabit Skyloft. They have friendly dispositions during the day, but can become aggressive at night. Approach with caution.

^?These small animals dwell in Skyloft. Due to Batreaux's transformation into a human, they no longer exhibit aggressive tendencies at night.

^?Target lock: Remlit (Night)

^?During the day they are quite docile, but after dark their personality turns aggressive and they will attack. Don't be fooled by their cute appearance.

^?Target lock: Bilocyte

^?This species of parasite is currently attached to Levias. It is known for its enormous optical structure.

This horrifying life-form utterly controls the mind and body of its host.

Tell me more!

Understood.

^?My analysis indicates the projectiles spit by the Bilocyte can be repelled by your sword, Master.

Furthermore, I infer that repelling the Bilocyte's own projectiles back toward it could become a very effective means of attack.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?Based on the creature's anatomy, it is probable that this monster's weakness is its central eye.

However, I can confirm that while the fins on the sides of its head are extended, any attack on the eye will be quite ineffective.

Tell me more.

Got it.

^?In order to effectively hit the Bilocyte by repelling its projectiles, you must consider the direction in which you are swinging your sword. By swinging left and right, you can control the direction of the deflection. Swinging up or down will deflect projectiles straight back.

^?This is all the information I have at the present time.

When I have more information to report, Master, your sword will flash. You can always press [d-pad down] to call on me.

Furthermore, when you require information about your equipment or your surroundings, please select Analysis.

^?Target lock: Walltula

Found mostly in ivy and on walls, you can expect this creature to approach when it senses your presence.

The beast lives on other creatures' bodily fluids. A fully grown Walltula is several orders of magnitude more dangerous than a young Walltula.

^?Target lock: Skulltula

^?This giant species of spider inhabits the deepest areas of forests. It attacks with highly adhesive webbing in order to prevent its prey from escaping. It has a tough outer carapace, but its stomach may be vulnerable to attack.

I am currently conducting additional analysis into its movement patterns.

^?This giant species of spider inhabits the deepest areas of forests. It attacks with highly adhesive webbing in order to prevent its prey from escaping. It has a tough outer carapace, but its stomach may be vulnerable to attack.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?I have observed that it has a tendency to move with its back toward its prey to prevent its weak point from being exposed. Therefore, you must find a way to flip the beast over to access its weak point.

^?I have observed that it has a tendency to move with its back toward its prey to prevent its weak point from being exposed. Therefore, you must find a way to flip it over to attack its weak point.

Anything else?

Got it.

^?Its lone weak point is the center of its abdomen, but it is surrounded by tough chitin. This leads me to conclude that a fatal blow will be most effective.

^?Target lock: Aracha

This larval monster is said to live for 1,000 years, during which time it is continually growing.

Though the larva is small in size, it is quite ferocious and is often found in swarms beneath the sand.

It tends to leap toward moving objects such as yourself.

^?Target lock: Moldarach

^?An Aracha that has survived its very lengthy larval stage is known as a "Thousand-Year Arachnid," which is precisely what you see before you. Over 90% of its body is shielded by a tough, chitinous armor that can deflect even the sharpest blade.

Tell me more.

Understood.

^?The weak points are its overdeveloped pincers, but you must hit each at the right angle relative to the pincer's position to be effective.

Tell me more.

Got it.

^?This beast has a tendency to bury itself in the sand when it feels its health is endangered.

When it is burrowed below the sand, you can expect at least an 85% chance that it will attempt to stab you with its tail. I highly recommend removing the creature's environmental advantage by blowing away sand, thereby revealing its position.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?Analysis reveals that the creature's central eye will be vulnerable to attack once its pincers have been properly disposed of. I calculate a near 100% chance that an assault on this weak point will ultimately prove quite fatal.

However, I infer from the armor surrounding the central eye that horizontal, vertical, and diagonal slashes will be entirely ineffective.

^?Target lock: Keese

Found in many locations, these winged monsters are attracted to dark places, such as caves.

They often gather in colonies, are active at night, and sleep in the day. Those who come too close and awaken them often fall victim to attack.

^?Target lock: Dark Keese

Found in many locations, these winged monsters are attracted to dark places, such as caves.

They often gather in colonies, are active at night, and sleep in the day. Those who come too close and awaken them often fall victim to attack.

^?Target lock: Thunder Keese

Found in desert habitats, these winged monsters are attracted to dark places, such as caves. Their internal organs generate electricity for attacking prey. They often gather in colonies, are active at night, and sleep in the day. Those who come too close and awaken them often fall victim to attack.

^?Target lock: Fire Keese

Found near volcanoes, these monsters are attracted to dark places, such as caves. Constantly under combustion, they will burn anything on contact. They often gather in colonies, are active at night, and sleep in the day. Those who come too close and awaken them often fall victim to attack.

^?Target lock: Guay

This bird seemingly jettisons its droppings upon people's heads on purpose. It is unclear if this is due to a carefree attitude or pure malice. Should its droppings land on you, I calculate the probability of your intense aggravation at 100%.

^?Target lock: Furnix

This spirit bird is said to survive by eating flames. Due to its cautious nature, it can be difficult to approach.

However, by catching and holding the bird's attention, some are able to successfully attack it. I suggest being wary of its curled tail.

^?Target lock: Hrok

This great bird is remarkable for its swollen, red throat. It also ingests minerals contained in rocks.

The small stones it is not able to fully digest are collected in its throat, which it can then amalgamate and regurgitate as fully formed boulders.

^?Target lock: Red Bokoblin

These monsters have plagued the land since ancient times. They each play different roles, and their weaponry varies. They prefer to act in groups. None of them are intelligent by any definition of the word. Curiously, they seem to have a mysterious obsession with fashionable undergarments.

^?Target lock: Red Bokoblin (Leader)

As a symbol of its leadership, this creature wraps a cloth around its head. This visually communicates that it is more dominant than other Bokoblins. It can call its underlings to arms using its horn.

^?Target lock: Blue Bokoblin

This is a dangerous form of Bokoblin. My analysis suggests it is many times stronger than a Red Bokoblin.

Its skin and clothing differ due to its hailing from a different environment, but it still has the same fixation with exotic undergarments.

^?Target lock: Technoblin

These Bokoblins wield sophisticated weaponry created by an ancient and highly evolved civilization.

If you are struck with the discharge from one of their electrical weapons, you may become paralyzed.

These creatures also wear the latest in Bokoblin fashion.

^?Target lock: Red Bokoblin (Archer)

These are Red Bokoblins that carry bows capable of knocking down distant targets.

Though not obvious from their outward appearance, their aim is quite deadly.

^?Target lock: Wooden Shield Moblin

This massive monster's wall-sized shield gives it a tactical advantage. When its shield is at the ready, most attacks will be quite futile. The destruction of its shield is likely to drive the monster into a rage, instantly increasing its threat.

^?Target lock: Metal Shield Moblin

This Moblin has a sturdy iron shield. Only a few Moblins are capable of carrying a large, heavy shield of iron like this one. I calculate an 85% chance that you can climb over that large shield as if it were a wall.

^?Target lock: Green Bokoblin

This variety of Bokoblin enjoys dark places, such as caves. Its sunlight- deficient lifestyle has turned its skin a stomach-turning shade of green. However, like its red brethren, it exhibits a fascination with festive undergarments.

^?Target lock: Green Bokoblin (Archer)

This variety of Bokoblin inhabits caves or indoor environments. It has archery skills roughly equivalent to the surface-dwelling Red Bokoblin. Also similar to the surface-dwelling Red Bokoblin, the Green Bokoblin obsesses about stylish undergarments.

^?Target lock: Lizalfos

This unmistakable monster is equipped with an arm guard made of hard iron. Great physical prowess makes it difficult to predict its movements. You will need to anticipate the direction of its arm guard to successfully land an attack on the exposed angle.

^?Target lock: Dark Lizalfos

This beast has superb fighting skills and uses an iron arm guard. Watch for quick counterattacks when your attacks are repelled, Master. The creature's breath can cause a curse that will prevent you from using your sword, so I recommend exercising extreme caution.

^?Target lock: Cursed Bokoblin

This horrifying Bokoblin reanimates after death. Analysis indicates it fears pure, shiny items and will startle at the sight of a sacred shield. It is able to reanimate purely through its hatred of this world...and its attachment to outlandish underpants.

^?Target lock: Staldra

This is a snake monster from before the dawn of time. Three bone-plated heads and a thirst to cause pain keep it writhing even beyond death. My analysis shows that to defeat this cursed snake, all three of its heads must be simultaneously destroyed.

^?Target lock: Stalfos

This skeleton soldier is born of the dead. In its previous life, it was an ordinary knight, but undeath has improved its combat abilities. It is possible to overpower it with a well-timed shield bash during the creature's attack.

^?Target lock: Stalmaster

This is an elite captain of the undead soldiers. When provoked, it has the ability to strike with all four of its sword-wielding arms. I recommend inflicting damage when the slight gap presents itself as it readies its swords to attack.

^?Target lock: LD-002S Scervo

This mutinous robot stole this ship from Skipper long ago. He still commands the ship today.

When fighting in a narrow space like this, it is more effective to use thrust attacks with your sword than to try to swing your sword widely.

^?Target lock: Koloktos

This "Ancient Automaton" defends the Ancient Cistern and eliminates intruders.

^?The cursed energy supply Ghirahim provided to this contraption has given it power far beyond its conventional limits. The red, orb-shaped cores embedded in its torso and arms provide it limited stability and prevent it from falling to pieces.

More info!

Understood.

^?It is highly probable that if the red cores in its arms were to be ejected, the unit would lose integrity and the limbs would sever from the body. However, during normal operation the cores are likely hidden below the forearm plating.

More info!

Got it.

^?Results from my analysis show that the red cores in Koloktos's arms will only be revealed when the arms are stretched out to full length. Fast and timely counterattacks after Koloktos swings its arms down have the best chance of success.

More info!

Got it.

^?I estimate a high probability that the red cores can be removed using your whip.

When Koloktos's arms lower, there will be a brief moment when you can attack the chest core.

However, when targeting the chest core, there is nowhere to hook on to with your whip. Therefore, removing the core will not be possible.

^?Target lock: Ghirahim

^?I have no confirmed information about this man, other than he refers to himself as a "Demon Lord."

I sense a powerful and evil aura, and I estimate his level of ability as highly adept. However, according to analysis, he has yet to reveal his true power.

More info!

Understood.

^?Speech analysis indicates absolute confidence in his own abilities.

Master, you must watch for Ghirahim's ability to grasp your sword with his bare right hand.

It is highly probable that he observes the angle you hold your sword at and prepares his defense accordingly.

I recommend attacking from the direction opposite his hand.

More info!

I'm ready.

^?Should he catch hold of your sword, I recommend swinging in the direction Ghirahim's hand opens.

More info!

Got it.

^?My analysis confirms that Ghirahim's fingers always point upward when he holds your sword, Master.

The probability of escaping his grip by swinging your sword upward is approximately 100%.

^?I have detected a change in Ghirahim's fighting style from the beginning of the battle.

I theorize that this change happened because of the small amount of damage he sustained.

Tell me more!

Understood.

^?Analysis indicates that the daggers Ghirahim shoots will align on a single plane in one of three orientations: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. With good timing, you might be able to repel them with a single swing of your sword, but my judgment shows that this maneuver will be difficult.

Anything else?

Got it.

^?I can now confirm that Ghirahim has the ability to teleport.

Further study reveals that he may be vulnerable immediately after teleportation. This is your chance to attack. However, be aware Ghirahim may use his sword to guard against just such an attack.

Anything else?

Got it.

^?Ghirahim will repeatedly move around you, Master. I recommend engaging him with your sword as he makes his attack. It is probable that the moment before Ghirahim readies his attack, he will reveal the direction he will move as he attempts to flank you. If you are unable to establish the correct timing to attack, I suggest using your spin attack.

^?Target lock: Ghirahim

^?Ghirahim is the Demon Lord leading the monsters. He displays superior mental and physical prowess, as well as expert command of magic. Though possessing some gentleman- like qualities, he will devolve to his true nature when enraged.

Tell me more!

Understood.

^?Analysis indicates that the daggers that appear around Ghirahim also act as a defensive barrier.

Removing these daggers before attacking should be an effective means of breaking down his defenses.

More info!

Got it.

^?It appears that Ghirahim prefers to use his right hand to attempt to grab your sword, Master.

Should he succeed, I recommend swinging your sword up and down to force him to release it.

However, Ghirahim continues to utilize more of his true power, and the probability of it taking more than one swing to release your sword is 100%.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?To land an attack on Ghirahim, I advise you to swing your sword from a direction that cannot be blocked by daggers or Ghirahim's right hand. Ghirahim will move his right hand in time with your attacks. However, Master, there will be times when he is too slow to meet your attack.

^?I have detected a change in Ghirahim's fighting style since the beginning of the battle.

I have concluded that this change happened because of the small amount of damage he sustained.

Tell me more!

Understood.

^?When Ghirahim shoots his daggers, I recommend repelling them by swinging your sword along the line the knives are positioned in. Logically, if surrounded by daggers, using a sword technique that attacks in all directions would be effective.

Anything else?

I'm ready.

^?There will be a significant opening for counterattacks if you are able to avoid Ghirahim's overhead attack when he teleports above your head. He will teleport to places other than above you, of course, but my analysis confirms an interesting behavior pattern. He assumes different stances when he plans to teleport above you and when he plans to go somewhere else.

Anything else?

Got it.

^?I am confident Ghirahim will use his sword to defend against your attacks, Master.

Ghirahim wields two swords, so the probability that he will block two of your sequential attacks is 100%.

^?Target lock: Ghirahim

This Demon Lord leads the monster forces.

^?There is a 90% change in outward appearance compared to previous encounters with him. I detect a dark aura emanating from his entire body. Be cautious, Master. This opponent is extremely dangerous and likely to fell you with a single blow.

Tell me more.

Understood.

^?He is now revealing his true power. I am detecting a significant increase in muscular strength.

Unfortunately, I must also conclude that none of your weapons will be effective against him.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?Analysis indicates that attacks from your sword may drive Ghirahim back, if ever so slightly, Master.

More info!

Got it.

^?I have noted that Ghirahim has a tendency to stand near the center of the platform, Master.

There is an 85% probability he does this to avoid falling off.

More info!

Got it.

^?Master, there is a 95% chance that Ghirahim will attempt to intercept your sword in order to defend against your attacks, just like last time. If you notice a large change in his stance, take care to note the position of his hand.

^?Target lock: The Imprisoned

^?I have insufficient data on this monster.

Its enormous size and ominous aura cannot be compared with previously encountered monsters.

Tell me more!

Understood.

^?I can confirm that the sealing spike observed at the top of its head is the same object originally found in the Sealed Grounds. I hypothesize that damage can be inflicted by driving the stone pillar into the monster's head.

But first, I recommend attacking the beast's feet--where your sword can reach--to stop it from moving.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?It is probable that the monster will be unable to move if you destroy all of its toes.

I recommend using the air vents to move ahead of the monster instead of chasing it from behind.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?If you are able to get between the monster's toes, my analysis indicates you can effectively inflict great damage with a spin attack. You can also choose to decrease your risk of physical harm by using bombs to attack from a distance.

^?Target lock: The Imprisoned

^?There is insufficient data on this target to make a full report at this time.

But I can confirm the appearance of limb-like appendages that were not previously present. The evil power of this creature has also increased.

More info!

Understood.

^?Analysis indicates that you should be able to use the same basic strategy as in the previous encounter to seal the monster in its prison once more. The fingers and toes on its limbs can be destroyed with a physical attack, but you should wait to do so until these targets become a very high priority.

More info!

Got it.

^?I calculate a 100% probability that the large apparatus Groose constructed will be effective against this monster. It is likely that a direct hit from this apparatus will stop the monster's movement, creating a window of opportunity for you to attack.

More info!

Got it.

^?Groose's defense apparatus can be repositioned by pushing [control stick left/right].

When the monster is in your blind spot, I recommend you reposition the apparatus and target the monster.

^?Target lock: The Imprisoned

^?Though the details are still unclear, this monstrosity is the demonic vessel of Demise.

I can confirm a previously unseen taillike appendage.

I recommend generous use of Groose's catapult.

Tell me more!

Understood.

^?You must attempt to seal this beast away again. I suggest a plan of attack similar to what you used in previous encounters. The monster's fingers, like its toes, are comparatively soft targets and can be destroyed by physical attack.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?After toppling the monster, it is possible that the beast's enormous bulk may prevent you from approaching the sealing spike. In this scenario, I recommend that you descend a level and use an air vent to travel to the head of the monster.

More info!

Got it.

^?The monster has evolved to an immensely powerful state. I calculate the odds you will defeat it by sword alone at approximately 0%. I recommend you utilize Groose's defense apparatus. As a last-ditch measure, you can launch yourself, Master, as a projectile.

^?Target lock: Demise

^?This eternal being has conquered time itself. It is the source of all monsters.

According to tales passed down through generations, it appears differently in each epoch and to each person who lays eyes on it.

Tell me more!

Understood.

^?It is highly probable that the only weapon capable of wounding Demise is the Master Sword itself. No other weapon can affect it.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?The probability that a single, standard attack of yours will injure Demise, Master, is exactly 0%.

A series of attacks that can overwhelm Demise's guard is required, such as repeated slashing from various angles.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?Results from my analysis confirm that the time to strike Demise is when he holds his sword aloft.

However, vigilance is required. Any attack falling near Demise's sword has a 100% chance of being blocked.

^?Target lock: Demise

^?I can confirm it is possible for Demise to store the electrical energy of a lightning strike in his sword and use it to his advantage. Master, should your sword come into contact with Demise's sword once it has electrified, you will receive a painful shock. It is essential that you time your attacks carefully. Very carefully.

Tell me more.

Understood.

^?Master, I see no reason why you cannot make use of the lightning strikes the same way Demise does.

Tell me more!

Got it.

^?It is possible to store lightning in the Master Sword by raising your sword in the air as if you were readying a Skyward Strike. When lightning strikes in the distance and the sky lights up, quickly raise your sword skyward to call down the lightning. However, be aware that while you are attempting to be struck by lightning, you will be leaving yourself open to Demise's attacks.

^?I can confirm it is possible for Demise to store the electrical energy of a lightning strike in his sword and use it to his advantage. Master, should your sword come into contact with Demise's sword once it has electrified, you will receive a painful shock.

Tell me more.

Understood.

^?I need more time to complete my analysis of Demise.

In a few moments, use [Z] to lock on to Demise, and then call me with [d-pad down]. I will report my findings then.

^?It is clear that Skyward Strikes cannot be called down to your sword because this place is under the magical influence of Demise. Attacks using Skyward Strike energy will not be possible here.

Tell me more.

Got it.

^?Target lock: Octorok (Grass)

This monster descended from oceanic mollusks. It has developed the unsightly ability to spit rocks.

The creature prefers to sleep with tufts of grass on its head, so it has learned to take on the appearance of grass in order to fool and defeat its prey. You can use a shield to bounce the rocks this monster spits back at it.

^?Target lock: Octorok (Rock)

This monster descended from oceanic mollusks. It has developed the unsightly ability to spit rocks.

Inexplicably, this beast prefers to sleep with rocks on its head. It camouflages itself to surprise and defeat its prey.

You can use a shield to bounce the rocks this monster spits back at it.

^?Target lock: Red Chuchu

The red Chuchu has an exceedingly high body temperature. Avoid all physical contact, or your clothing and shield may burst into flames. In the event you are set on fire, I recommend you quickly extinguish the flames by performing a roll.

^?Target lock: Blue Chuchu

This is a rare, aquatic Chuchu. Known for attaching itself to unaware victims, its gelatinous body will clog your air pipe, literally taking your breath away. It is exceedingly dangerous to allow one of the larger specimens to stick to you for any length of time.

^?Target lock: Yellow Chuchu

Yellow Chuchus are capable of generating electricity for short bursts of time. As with other Chuchus, I suggest you remain on guard. If you make contact with this type of Chuchu when it is charged, it will give you a shock. Then it will attempt to feed on you. This is not pleasant.

^?Target lock: Green Chuchu

These creatures prefer exceptionally damp environments. They will encompass and digest anything they can absorb into their gelatinous bodies. As they have no genders, they are believed to increase their population by dividing themselves into several smaller-sized Chuchus.

^?Target lock: Pyrup

This skittish monster prefers to hide in small holes or inside the skeletal remains of deceased creatures.

Once the cowardly Pyrup finds a small space from which to spit flames, it becomes unapproachable.

You will need to employ a clever strategy to defeat it. Inflicting damage from a distance may be the only way.

^?Target lock: Scaldera

This fearsome monster inhabits the deepest recesses of the Earth Temple. It can be categorized as a Pyroclastic Fiend.

^?Its body is completely covered in rock, but you can see its weak point, the eye, through the cracks in this outer shell.

If you are able to remove parts of this creature's rocky shell, you will vastly increase your probability of success.

More info!

Understood.

^?There is a 0% probability that your sword will be effective against the rock that covers this target's body.

I strongly recommend using items with powerful destructive properties.

More info!

Got it.

^?There is a 100% probability that bombs that come into contact with Scaldera's body will immediately explode, due to the creature's high body temperature. Analysis indicates that explosions on Scaldera's outer surface will not yield desired results, however. You must look for a more effective target site.

More info!

Got it.

^?Results from my analysis confirm that in order to remove the rocks covering Scaldera, you will need to inflict powerful internal damage. When Scaldera is inhaling a large amount of air, I suggest throwing a bomb into its mouth.

^?Target lock: Magmanos

This hand-shaped monster dwells in fiery lava. Its body is made up entirely of flowing magma. As such, it is invulnerable to most attacks. Theoretically, it would be possible to inflict damage on the monster if you were able to solidify its body.

^?Target lock: Ampilus

These monsters have inhabited the desert for eons. Their defining characteristic is an ability to internally generate electrical energy. It is also said they live to a very old age. Their shells are able to disperse weight surprisingly well, allowing them to safely traverse desert sinksand.

^?Target lock: Armos

This security and defense mechanism was developed long ago. It will attack anything that enters its security perimeter. According to my records, its weak point is its mouth, but it requires some specific measure to make it open its mouth.

^?Target lock: Beamos

This is an ancient security mechanism. Its weak point is its eye. The eye is also a weapon that fires a focused energy beam. I calculate a 100% failure rate at any attempt to strike the eye with your sword while it is still on top of the pedestal. I recommend using a weapon that can strike at high targets. Conversely, you could lower its head to a height your sword can reach.

^?Target lock: Sentrobe

This security drone was built in ancient times. It is armed with missiles fired from a central turret and flying bombs fired from both of its sides. Analysis suggests you can repel the missiles fired from the central turret with certain items at your disposal, such as your shield.

^?Target lock: Froak

Though this odd creature is cowardly by nature, it will expose an array of densely packed defensive spines when approached or provoked.

^?Target lock: Cranioc

This fishlike monster is said to settle disputes with another of its species purely by the magnificence of its bulbous crowns. When this creature chooses its prey, it will turn red with excitement and charge head-on. Stopping such an assault could prove difficult.

^?Target lock: Magma Spume

This odd creature is quite at home in magma. It stores and processes gas produced by the magma into a flaming projectile that it then spits out. Cowardly by nature, it sits with its eyes just out of the lava in order to detect any danger and flee if necessary.

^?Target lock: Cursed Spume

This mysterious monster's natural habitat includes poisonous swamps and other dangerous environments. It spits evil curses that it stores up in its body. Cowardly by nature, it sits with its eyes just above the surface in order to detect any danger and flee if necessary.

^?Target lock: Electro Spume

At home in the desert, this monster spits a wad-like, electrified projectile that it produces internally.

Cowardly by nature, it sits with its eyes just above the surface in order to detect any danger and flee if necessary.

^?Target lock: Tentalus

^?As you can likely gather from its other title, this "Abyssal Leviathan" is said to have been a tyrant of the ancient seas.

Its enormous tentacles can be repelled, but they will regenerate after a short time.

More info!

Understood.

^?My analysis shows that by repelling a number of its aggressive tentacles, the beast will reveal itself.

There is a 99% probability that the tentacles that attacked you on the ship, Master, can be attributed to Tentalus.

I theorize that using a sacred power will be the most effective means of repelling the tentacles.

More info!

Got it.

^?Results from my analysis confirm that its tentacles can be severed with a well-aimed Skyward Strike.

I theorize that the creature's eye is its weak point, but the probability that you can actually hit the eye with a Skyward Strike is approximately 0%. Instead, I recommend utilizing long-range weapons.

More info!

Got it.

^?To accurately strike at the creature's eye--its weak spot--a bow will be most effective.

You can press [control stick] to move with your bow drawn. I recommend shooting arrows immediately after dodging attacks launched by Tentalus.

^?In order to attack Tentalus's weak spot, its eye, you must first deal with the tentacles attempting to latch on to you. My analysis shows you can easily slice the tip of the tentacles with your sword.

More info!

Got it.

^?Because this monster's tentacles attack incessantly and in large number, it is too dangerous to respond to them one at a time. My analysis indicates it is possible to repel the tentacles more efficiently by concentrating an all-out assault on them with your sword.

More info!

Got it.

^?When the tentacles are repelled, they may drop hearts and arrows.

Should you find yourself in danger because of low hearts or arrows, concentrate on attacking the tentacles rather than fleeing from battle.

^?Target lock: Deku Baba

This violent plant is widespread in wooded areas. It will attempt to bite anything that approaches it.

Though it is covered in a tough outer husk, the inside of its mouth is soft.

I have confirmed the existence of two varieties: those that open their mouths vertically and those that open them horizontally.

^?Target lock: Quadro Baba

This violent plant is widespread in wooded areas. It will attempt to bite anything that approaches it.

More rare than Deku Baba, Quadro Baba has greater stamina. A golden husk and dynamic mouth are this plant's distinguishing features.

^?Target lock: Peahat

At first glance, this looks like any other plant species, but the Peahat has a unique ability to fly when the flower on its top is pulled off with a whip.

^?Target lock: Sentrobe Bomb

This is a bomb projectile fired from a Sentrobe. It will follow its target anywhere, although a timed fuse ensures it will explode after a set time.

^?Target lock: LD-003D Dreadfuse

This menacing robot guards Sky Keep. It is thought to be of a similar model to the robot that stole Skipper's ship in Lanayru Sand Sea. As before, when fighting in a narrow space like this, it is more effective to use thrust attacks with your sword than to try to swing your sword widely.

^?Target lock: Ghirahim

^?There is a 90% change in outward appearance compared to previous encounters with him. I detect a dark aura emanating from his entire body. I can confirm a change in Ghirahim's fighting style, likely as a result of the minor damage he has suffered.

More info!

Understood.

^?I project that the weak spot revealed on his chest from the previous attack will continue to be an effective target.

However, there is a 100% probability that Ghirahim will block all attacks targeting this area while he is in his standard state.

More info!

Got it.

^?I suggest you attempt to parry Ghirahim's sword away, Master. This should leave the weak spot on his chest open to attack. Taking advantage of opportunities to attack the villain's weak spot should be your top priority.

More info!

Got it.

^?My analysis shows that it is impossible to parry away Ghirahim's sword in one attack.

I theorize that it will become possible by attacking in the same direction a number of times.

^?Target lock: Ghirahim

^?There has been a 90% change in his outward appearance since our last meeting. I detect a black aura emanating from his entire body. I have also confirmed that he is using a new weapon.

More info!

Understood.

^?Results from my analysis confirm that the sword Ghirahim wields can be broken by your sword, Master.

I theorize that Ghirahim used magic to call this weapon into existence.

Now that he is deeply wounded, the sword he wields appears to have become brittle.

More info!

Got it.

^?I have detected identical responses from the center of Ghirahim's sword and Ghirahim's chest.

By destroying the sword's core, there is a 100% probability that the sword itself will be destroyed.

I recommend carefully watching the sword's movement and repeatedly attacking the same spot.

^?My visual inspection of this large device leads me to calculate an 85% chance that it is built from very ancient technology. Analysis indicates that activating this device will require ancient energy from a remote power node.

^?I calculate an 85% probability that this is an energy-generating device. It appears that it will activate if the center is rotated.

^?This is a common Loft Tree. This tree's thin trunk makes it a common victim of sword practice.

^?I must conclude that this is some sort of control mechanism. Each embedded stone may react to physical force.

^?This statue appears to have stood here for a very long time. Nobody knows its exact purpose.

^?Target lock: Ampilus egg

It is an Ampilus that has reverted to its earliest form of development, no doubt because of the effect of the Timeshift Stone. Even in its current state, it retains the ability to generate powerful electrical current at regular intervals.

My analysis indicates that you can hit it with your sword when it is not generating electricity. Also, you can carry it with the Hook Beetle.

^?Visual inspection indicates this object is very old. I must conclude that this is a Propeller. It is an object designed to spin in a steady wind.

^?This is an ornamental wooden board. Judging from its appearance, it has recently fallen from the sky.

^?This massive sword has been dropped by Koloktos. Although it is quite heavy, you should be able to wield it, Master.

^?This plant is known as a Water Fruit. It collects moisture within its hard shell. This feature is vital to its survival here.

^?This is a log used for sword training. It can be cut with a sword along the direction of the notches.

^?This is a log used for defense practice. First, thrust your sword into the log to make it swing.

Next, quickly ready your shield. When the log swings back toward you, strike it with a well-timed shield bash.

^?My analysis indicates a 90% chance that this is a Fairy. I calculate a 10% chance that this is a rare or previously undiscovered insect. If my analysis is correct and this is a Fairy, you can make use of the glittering dust that covers its wings to heal your wounds. Additionally, if you carry a Fairy with you in a bottle, it will automatically revive you one time when you run out of hearts.

^?The Water Dragon previously used this sizable water basin to soak in healing waters.

The basin has a handle designed to aid in its transportation.

However, because of its size and weight, I do not believe it could be carried by a human. No offense intended, I assure you.

^?These items are available for purchase at the shop.

To hear information about a particular item, or to buy it, stand in front of the item and press [A].

According to my analysis, the sealing process can be completed with a well-aimed Skyward Strike.

^?Visual analysis indicates that is a highly mysterious type of stone tablet that is known to freely gossip and offer up information depending on location. Although not always the case, some of the information it provides can be useful. I recommend you pay attention.

^?That is a Gate of Time. It is said to transport whoever passes through its arch to a different time.

According to legend, a fully enhanced form of your sword is capable of activating it with a Skyward Strike.

^?Ancient buildings can be found on the small islands floating in the area around Skyloft.

I calculate over an 80% chance that chests will be hidden on such islands.

^?To the northeast of Skyloft there is an island called Bamboo Island.

According to rumors, it is a place where swordsmen go to test their skill in the hopes of winning a reward.

^?There is rumored to be an insect paradise somewhere in the sky.

^?However, nobody has ever reported visiting such a place.

^?The knight apprentice known as Strich is looking for this island and is often observed exploring in the sky.

It seems that he recently found an island inside the thunderhead suitable for insect habitation.

^?There is an island called Pumpkin Landing that you can easily spot to the southeast of Skyloft.

There you can enjoy the proprietor's pumpkin soup and also exchange information with patrons.

^?There is an island to the southwest of Skyloft called Fun Fun Island.

^?Some say that it will be an attraction where you can obtain a great amount of Rupees easily.

^?It is a place of amusement where you can procure high-value Rupees with surprisingly little exertion.

You will require room in your wallet to carry Rupees back with you, though, so it would be wise to plan accordingly.

^?It is a place of amusement where you can procure high-value Rupees with surprisingly little exertion.

My analysis indicates that you will need to make a payment to play there.

^?Your Loftwing will pick up speed when it descends.

My analysis indicates that if you want to reach a destination quickly, you should try to stay in constant descent as you travel there.

^?The pumpkin soup from the Lumpy Pumpkin on Pumpkin Landing will cool down in five minutes.

Cool pumpkin soup is not as effective at restoring hearts. The soup should be consumed while it is still hot.

^?Loftwings who have mastered the advanced technique of Spiral Charge can attack from greater distances.

However, it is a dangerous technique, so it is currently only being taught to the most senior students at the Knight Academy.

^?To enter Beedle's mobile shop, it seems you need to ring the large bell.

^?Unfortunately, Master, you do not have the equipment needed to ring the bell. You need to find something that can shoot at it from a distance.

^?The flying shop cannot be observed in Skyloft after sundown. This leads me to infer that it moves to another island at night. If you were to stay in the airborne shop until nightfall, there is a possibility you will discover where it travels to.

^?The owner of the Gear Shop in the bazaar will buy certain items at night.

However, he will only buy the particular items he feels like buying on that day.

^?The fortune-teller can divine information and foresee the location you need to travel to next.

I am not capable of interpreting crystal balls or calculating fates, but statistics indicate his fortunes operate at over 90% accuracy.

^?Various treasures are required to upgrade items at the Scrap Shop.

Among them is a precious treasure called an Evil Crystal. It may be possible to obtain one by defeating a monster that can curse.

^?Various treasures are required to upgrade items at the Scrap Shop.

Among them is the Blue Bird Feather, a particularly precious treasure. Hopefully it will come as no surprise that it can be obtained from blue birds.

^?You will need various treasures to enhance items at the Scrap Shop.

One of these treasures is called an Ornamental Skull. It is possible to find one when you defeat a Bokoblin.

If you are very lucky, you will obtain a precious Golden Skull.

^?The larger your wallet, the more Rupees you can carry with you.

Apparently, there is a wallet that can hold as many as 9,000 Rupees.

^?Analysis indicates that you still have much to learn about the world.

Periodically visiting the fortune-teller at the bazaar would be an effective method of remedying this situation.

^?Beedle's Airshop sells an item called a Bug Net that will allow you to catch insects.

^?You can check your map to locate Beedle's airborne shop. You will need to ring the large bell hanging from the shop to gain access.

^?To enter Beedle's airborne shop, ring the large bell hanging below the structure.

Unfortunately, Master, you do not have the equipment needed to ring the bell. You need to find something that can shoot a projectile from a distance.

^?The Wooden Shield will protect you from electricity, while the Iron Shield will protect you from fire attacks.

The Sacred Shield is effective against both of these, and it will also slowly repair itself after taking damage.

^?There are rumors of a demonic creature being spotted in Skyloft.

^?If you are interested, I recommend going to the Lumpy Pumpkin, where these rumors appear to have originated.

^?I now calculate a 95% chance that it is Batreaux who lives under the shed next to the graveyard.

^?Batreaux would like you to collect Gratitude Crystals and wants to see them for himself so that he can become a human. If you aid him in this search, Master, there is an 85% probability that it will benefit you as well.

^?You collected enough Gratitude Crystals for Batreaux to become a human. I estimate a 60% chance that the Skyloft-demon rumor will die. But there is still a 40% probability that the rumor will not fade, based upon the possibility that people will still find Batreaux's new human face terrifying.

^?Many houses in Skyloft have chimneys on their roofs.

Apparently, people regularly go up inside the chimneys to clean the soot from them.

^?Putting medals in your pouch will grant different beneficial effects on you.

Additionally, rumors exist of a special medal that confers multiple special effects to its possessor.

^?It would seem that people in Skyloft often accidentally drop precious items from their floating town to the surface.

I conjecture that returning those items to their rightful owners will earn you their gratitude.

^?If you land a perfect dive in Dodoh's High Dive on Fun Fun Island, you will win a very precious item.

^?The most highly valued Rupee is worth 300 Rupees.

Be aware that picking up an item called a Rupoor will reduce the number of Rupees you have by 10.

^?Insects can sometimes be found hiding under small jars.

You can locate them by breaking or moving the jars.

^?There are several platforms in Skyloft constructed specifically for mounting Loftwings.

If you fall from a ledge other than one of these platforms, a knight guarding the town will think that there has been an accident and will come to the rescue.

^?A knight on night patrol spotted a Starry Firefly flying over the river in Skyloft.

Signs indicate that to see a wild Starry Firefly for yourself, you must look for one at night and also possess what humans refer to as "luck."

^?If you want to pass the time until nightfall, you can always sleep in a bed.

It is also possible to replenish hearts by sleeping in a bed.

^?It would seem that the great sky spirit, Levias, dwells in the clouds near Skyloft.

^?Every year since he was born so long ago, he has grown larger and larger. He is now the size of a large island. However, he hasn't been seen recently.

^?If you get too close to Levias, there is a danger that your Loftwing will collide with one of his fins or his tail.

^?This is not exactly a rumor, but if you focus on a target with [Z], and then press [d-pad down] while still targeting it, it is possible for me to analyze it.

^?This is not exactly a rumor, but...

If you press [1] to open your Gear screen, you can read a basic description of each item you're carrying.

Simply point at the item you want more information on, and press [A].

^?I recommend that you shield bash a monster when it swings a sword or a club at you.

With your shield up, wait until just before their swing lands, then shake the Nunchuk forward to bash them with your shield. If you are successful, you can cause an enemy to become momentarily stunned, giving you an excellent opening in which to attack.

^?Hold your sword straight up in the air to charge up your sword for a powerful Skyward Strike.

You can even charge a Skyward Strike while you're on the run if you hold the sword steadily enough.

It is also possible to charge up your sword while avoiding monster attacks. If you master this technique, it can be very advantageous in battle.

^?A spin attack is a powerful combat maneuver that is executed by swinging the Wii Remote and Nunchuk in the same direction simultaneously. Swing your controllers in the intended direction to execute one of four spin attacks: up vertical, down vertical, left horizontal, or right horizontal. Choose the maneuver you want to execute based on what will be most effective.

^?Some monsters with limited intelligence will mistake bombs for prey.

I suggest you try offering a bomb to a Chuchu or Deku Baba and see what happens.

^?Gelatinous Chuchus can easily merge into each other to create a bigger, more dangerous monster.

Aim your sword strikes to divide their bodies and ensure they don't merge again.

^?Deku Hornets will not hesitate to attack if you venture near their hive.

They are small and agile, so I calculate the probability of hitting them with your sword at approximately 0%.

I recommend that you run away or attempt to capture them. Like other bugs, they can be taken to the potion infuser and used as raw ingredients.

^?You may find Rupees if you cut grass with your sword.

If you release a horizontal Skyward Strike toward a patch of grass, you can slice it more efficiently.

^?Hitting a mushroom will send spores into the air. Mushroom Spores can be collected in an Empty Bottle.

Glittering mushrooms produce Glittering Spores when struck. When these spores are sprinkled over a heart, I project something good will happen.

^?When you aren't sure of where you should go next, call me with [d-pad down] and inquire into your current objective, or alternatively you may ask for a hint. Additionally, you may find speaking with the fortune-teller in Skyloft useful.

^?Yes, Master.

^?Do you recall seeing the mysterious cubes bearing the mark of the goddess throughout the land below?

There seems to be a connection between those cubes and the locked chests in Skyloft and the surrounding islands.

^?Technically speaking, this is no rumor, but I will pass on this information nonetheless.

When energy is released from the Goddess Cubes scattered across the land and it launches into the sky, I can calculate its trajectory. Then I will note the location in the sky that the energy has returned to on your map, Master.

^?Glittering Spores have a variety of uses.

While their effects on heart flowers and Rupees are well known, you may want to try sprinkling them on a variety of other items as well.

^?Using the [B] and [-] Buttons, you can switch items, drink potions, and perform other actions while you are moving. This technique is valuable because it allows you to perform an action while maintaining a safe distance from your enemies.

^?Yes, Master.

^?Bird Feathers are a useful material often used in equipment upgrades.

However, there is a 90% probability you will need some kind of tool to catch the birds who provide these feathers.

^?In ancient times, a great warrior devised a strategy to collect lots of arrows. Do you know it, Master?

Tell me!

I know it.

^?The warrior took out his Wooden Shield and approached the Bokoblin fort.

He hid behind his shield as the Bokoblins rained arrows down on him. He then retreated out of range.

Many arrows were stuck in his Wooden Shield. All he needed to do then was pull them out and fire them back at his enemies with his bow.

^?You could use a Wooden Shield to employ this same strategy, Master.

However, doing so will damage your shield, so pay attention to your shield gauge.

^?As you may have observed during your time as one, human beings are not a species that can stay underwater for long periods of time.

^?Somewhere in the world is an item called a Water Dragon's Scale. Rumors suggest that this item allows a person to dive deep underwater.

^?If you return to places you previously visited, you may be able to reach new areas using the power of the Water Dragon's Scale. Since you already possess this item, you can easily dive underwater.

^?You may not know this, but human beings are not a species that can survive in extremely high-temperature environments.

^?There is an item called Fireshield Earrings in this world somewhere. They allow the wearer to remain in areas of extreme heat.

^?Of course, you already possess the Fireshield Earrings, so you can freely enter extremely hot areas.

I recommend thoroughly exploring places that were previously too hot to travel through safely.

^?Using sidesteps and backflips to dodge monster attacks and then quickly mounting a counterattack is considered an advanced fighting technique. To perform these maneuvers, press and hold [Z] to target and while moving [control stick] left, right, or back, press [A].

These moves will be particularly useful when your shield is broken.

^?When you roll to bump into a tree or wall, objects may become dislodged and fall from above.

To do this move, press and hold [A] to dash and then shake the Nunchuk in front of a tree or wall.

^?When you find a bird statue, you should always examine it more closely, even if you have no intention of using it to save your progress. Examining the bird statue will record it on your map, allowing you to check its position later with [+].

^?In addition to saving your progress, bird statues located on the surface offer you a way to return to the sky.

However, it seems that statues housed inside buildings do not possess the ability to send you back to the sky.

^?You can climb walls covered in vines, but doing so will slowly deplete your stamina gauge.

You can move more quickly when climbing by swinging the Wii Remote in the direction you want to climb.

^?Additionally, Clawshots have the ability to latch on to vines, so you may want to use them in order to reach vines from a distance.

^?While this information does not technically qualify as a rumor, I feel it will be of use to you.

Hold down [C] to bring up potential targets to dowse for, then select one to begin dowsing.

You can search for various items by switching your dowsing target.

Also, if you do not want to dowse for anything, you can select Look Around to stop dowsing.

^?On slippery slopes, you may lose your footing and slide down on your backside. Quite gracefully, I'm sure, Master. Once you begin sliding, you will not be able to stop, but you can direct your slide using [control stick left/right].

^?Medals will give you various beneficial effects as long as you carry them in your pouch.

If you carry a Heart Medal in your pouch, my analysis indicates you will have a greater chance of finding a heart when you defeat a monster. A Rupee Medal has a similar effect. It increases the chance you will find Rupees when you defeat a foe.

Several other types of medals are known to exist.

^?Medals will grant you various beneficial effects as long as you carry them in your pouch.

A Potion Medal will increase the duration of the effects of certain potions, such as Stamina Potions.

Additionally, several other types of medals are known to exist.

^?Yes, Master.

^?You possess sufficient arm strength to slice your sword through the trunks of smaller trees.

If a point on a tree appears to glow, cut through that spot with your sword and you may be rewarded with a Rupee.

^?Any arrows that don't hit their target can be picked up and reused.

^?I conjecture this information will be of use to you.

Press [2] to read information about the actions immediately available to you.

By doing this, you may learn of new actions that you can perform.

^?When you want to hang down from an edge or cliff without jumping, press [A] to hang down.

Use [control stick left/right] to move along the ledge while you are hanging.

^?You can fill an Empty Bottle with many things, such as potions, water from streams, Mushroom Spores, and pumpkin soup. Empty Bottles can even be used to catch Fairies.

^?While not technically a rumor, I am sure the information I am about to relay to you will prove useful.

While targeting an object or character with [Z], you can press [d-pad down] to hear my analysis of the targeted subject.

I calculate a 60% chance that a portion of the information contained in my analysis will be new to you.

^?When you require my analysis of a target, press [d-pad down] while targeting it with [Z].

006-KenseiNormal.msbt

^?Something here is reacting to our performance of Farore's Courage. I have confirmed the appearance of a strange mark on the ground. I calculate a 90% possibility that this mark is a Trial Gate, as mentioned by the goddess statue we heard from on the Isle of Songs. Thrust your sword into the center of the mark on the ground before you.

^?Thrust your sword into the center of the mark and open the way to a new Silent Realm.

^?Thrust your sword into the center of the mark and open the way to the final Silent Realm.

^?Master, the melody you just acquired is one part of the Song of the Hero.

I recommend you seek out the other two dragons in their respective areas to learn the other two parts of the song.

^?Well done, Master. You have acquired the second part of the Song of the Hero. The final part can be found somewhere within Faron Woods.

^?Well done, Master. You have acquired the second part of the Song of the Hero. The final part can be found somewhere within Eldin Volcano.

^?Well done, Master. You have acquired the second part of the Song of the Hero. The final part can be found somewhere within Lanayru Desert.

^?Well done, Master. You've successfully collected three parts of the Song of the Hero.

I recommend you return to the sky and meet with the great sky spirit, Levias, to complete the song.

^?Master, I have information for you. You have obtained a map of this area. You can view it by pressing [+].

The position of doors and their locks, as well as the position and status of treasure chests, can be confirmed on the map with marks such as [X]. However, be aware that you will be unable to use beacons here due to the indoor nature of this environment.

^?A report, Master [Link]. I have detected the aura of a Trial Gate nearby.

If you can pinpoint the origin of this aura using dowsing, I conjecture the song you learned at the Isle of Songs, Farore's Courage, will reveal the gate.

^?A report, Master. The volcanic activity that impeded your return to the sky earlier has ceased.

It is now possible to return to the sky again.

^?After winning the race in the Wing Ceremony, you went on a flight with Zelda where you encountered a storm that caused Zelda to fall to the surface. Shortly thereafter, you entered an old chamber and claimed the Goddess Sword in which I, Fi, reside.

You then used the power of an ancient tablet to open a column of light leading to the land below.

^?After winning the race in the Wing Ceremony, you took to the sky with Zelda where you encountered a storm that caused Zelda to fall to the surface. Down below the clouds, you met with a mysterious old woman who spoke of a great destiny that involves both you and Zelda.

^?To begin your search for Zelda, you descended to the surface, where you met a mysterious old woman who spoke of the destiny invoking you and Zelda. Shortly thereafter, you made your way to Faron Woods and learned from the Kikwis that Zelda entered a temple in the area.

^?In order to find Zelda, you descended to the surface and explored Skyview Temple deep within Faron Woods.

At the temple, you discovered a statue of the goddess whose song indicates that Zelda has now headed to Eldin Province.

^?In your search for Zelda, who fell beneath the clouds to the land below, you have made your way to Eldin Volcano. Judging by conversations of the Mogma we overheard, I conjecture that Zelda is inside the Earth Temple.

^?We have learned that Zelda, who fell to the surface and is still missing, is traveling with an unknown person for reasons we do not fully understand. Judging by the song from the goddess statue that we heard, you now know that Zelda headed to Lanayru Province.

^?We have learned that Zelda, who fell to the surface and is still missing, is traveling with an unknown person for reasons we do not fully understand. I infer these two entered the Temple of Time in Lanayru Desert, but we are unable to enter the temple via usual means as the gate has been destroyed.

^?For reasons we do not fully understand, Zelda has been traveling all across the land.

You were successful in meeting her at the Temple of Time, but our discourse was cut short by Ghirahim, who attempted to attack Zelda. During Ghirahim's attack, Zelda entrusted you with her harp and then ran from the area through a strange gate.

^?In order to accomplish her own mission, Zelda entrusted her harp to you and fled through a Gate of Time.

A second Gate of Time exists, but in order to activate it, you will need to enhance your sword.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. To meet this goal, you learned a song known as Farore's Courage on the Isle of Songs. It will guide you on your quest to enhance your sword.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. In your quest to find the sacred flames that can do this, you sought out and overcame the trial within Faron Woods.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. You have learned that the first of the sacred flames that will make this possible lies within the Ancient Cistern.

The Water Dragon, Faron, has now granted you access to this location.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. The sacred flame you found in the Ancient Cistern has purified your sword and given it its first enhancement.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. In your quest to find the sacred flames that can do this, you sought out and overcame the trial located within Lanayru Desert.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. You learned that the second sacred flame needed to enhance your blade is located within the Sandship you discovered on the Lanayru Sand Sea.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. The sacred flame you found within the Sandship sailing the Lanayru Sand Sea has purified your sword, imbuing it with a second enhancement.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. In your quest to find the sacred flames that can do this, you sought out and overcame the trial located on Eldin Volcano.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. To find the final sacred flame needed to enhance your blade, you have entered the Fire Sanctuary hidden atop Eldin Volcano.

^?Zelda passed through a Gate of Time in order to accomplish her mission. You will need to enhance your sword to open the gate and reach her. The final sacred flame, which you found within the Fire Sanctuary, has purified your sword, allowing it to achieve its true form.

^?Your sword has transformed into the Master Sword. With this sword, you can now activate the Gate of Time and go to Zelda, who waits beyond the gate. As you attempted to open the gate, the giant monster that you previously defeated broke free of its prison, forcing you to beat it back once more.

^?After passing through the Gate of Time, you have at last reunited with Zelda.

It is there that Zelda revealed that your destiny is to vanquish Demise.

You also learned that the key to finding the one power vital to defeating Demise, the Triforce, is hidden somewhere within Skyloft.

^?To sustain the seal that imprisons Demise, Zelda has entered an eternal sleep in the world of the past.

The task of searching for the Triforce, a power vital to vanquishing Demise, has fallen to you.

Shortly thereafter you met with the great spirit of the sky, Levias, who informed you that the Song of the Hero can lead you to the Triforce. In order to learn the different parts of this song, you must seek out the three dragons who live in the land below the clouds.

^?To sustain the seal that imprisons Demise, Zelda has entered an eternal sleep in the world of the past.

^?To sustain the seal that imprisons Demise, Zelda has entered an eternal sleep in the world of the distant past.

The task of searching for the Triforce, a power vital to vanquishing Demise, has fallen to you.

You have learned of a lead to the Triforce in a trial revealed to you by the Song of the Hero, and you will attempt to overcome this trial.

^?To sustain the seal that imprisons Demise, Zelda has entered an eternal sleep in the world of the distant past.

You have now overcome the trial that leads to the Triforce, which you must obtain in order to vanquish Demise.

^?After you obtained the Triforce, its power caused the Isle of the Goddess to return down to the Sealed Grounds and destroy Demise. However, shortly thereafter, the Demon Lord Ghirahim abducted Zelda.

He has fled to the world of the distant past, where he is attempting to revive Demise.

^?After you obtained the Triforce, the Isle of the Goddess descended to the Sealed Grounds and destroyed Demise.

However, shortly thereafter, the Demon Lord Ghirahim abducted Zelda.

He has fled to the world of the distant past, where he is attempting to revive Demise.

^?After you obtained the Triforce, the Isle of the Goddess descended to the Sealed Grounds and destroyed Demise in the present. However, having lost his chance to revive his master in this time, Ghirahim has fled to the past where he successfully revived Demise. Now, Zelda's soul has been absorbed into Demise, who walks the land free once more.

^?To sustain the seal that imprisons Demise, Zelda has entered an eternal sleep in the world of the distant past.

The task of searching for the Triforce, a power vital to vanquishing Demise, has fallen to you.

^?You are currently reliving some of your previous battles within the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round.

I recommend you stay focused on defeating the enemy before you.

008-Hint.msbt

^?Hey, how's it going? I've got a new hint for you! Wanna see it?

Sure!

No need.

^?What's up? I don't have any important hints for you, but I'll let you see any hints you've seen up till now. Wanna see some hints?

Sure!

No need.

^?Heya, friend. Just so you know, I've got every hint here ready for you! Wanna see a hint?

Sure!

Nah.

^?No problem. I hope you do well, and I wish you good luck!

^?Hey there, friend. Unfortunately, you're such a good explorer that I don't have any hints to offer you right now.

Tell you what. You press on, and if you find yourself stuck later, just come on back and see me.

^?Hey, friend! Walk yourself on over here and say hello.

^?How do you do? I'm what you call a Sheikah Stone. Glad to meet you!

I'm a stone of few words, so I'll get right to it. You're going to find yourself in puzzling circumstances as you make your way through this world. If you should find yourself stuck and you have no idea how to move forward, come see me.

I've got nothing for you right now, but down the road when you're feeling stuck, the things I'll show you may just get you back on the right track. Good luck out there, friend!

^?How do you do? I'm what you call a Sheikah Stone...but you knew that already, didn't you?

I'm a stone of few words so I'll get right to it. I can see you're playing in Hero Mode, so clearly you've mastered all the puzzles out there before. I think that's pretty impressive! Tell you what, I'm going to go ahead and give you access to all the hints right from the start. If you ever get the urge to look over hints you've already seen, just come and see me.

Good luck to you, friend!

^?Skyloft

^?Hey, [Link]! How's it going? The Wing Ceremony's about to begin, right?

Remember when Pipit won the last one right at the last second? It was soooo close. Now, that was a race...

Hey, your Crimson Loftwing will be in the race, right? I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.

^?I'm looking forward to seeing your Loftwing in action!

^?What's wrong, [Link]? What?! Your Loftwing is missing?

That's terrible! I was so looking forward to seeing that red blur streak through the sky.

No, no...I haven't seen him.

Hmm... Why not check with Skyloft's bird expert, Pipit? He might be able to help.

^?If you're talking Loftwings, talk to Pipit. That guy knows almost everything about anything with wings.

You know Pipit, right? He's one of the top students at the Knight Academy.

^?Where in the clouds is that Fledge boy? He's supposed to be bringing me barrels!

Sometimes I just don't know what's going on in that boy's head.

^?Are you talking to me about your Loftwing? Right now?

I'm a little busy here, so buzz off!

^?Oh? [Link]! You're delivering something for me?

That was supposed to be Fledge's job...

Anyhow, just bring the barrel here. Yes, here.

^?What's all this? I thought I told Fledge to carry that! Bah, it's probably for the best... That skinny boy would probably have gotten flattened. Say...don't you have some important ceremony or some such today? Hmph! Well, thanks for the help.

^?What do you think you're doing?!

You'd better clean that up!

^?Enough already! You little brat!

Do that again, and you'll be mopping soup stains for a week!

^?I've had it!

I'm going to have a word with the headmaster about having you expelled!

^?The Wing Ceremony is starting soon. Quit with the dillyin' and dallyin', and get your tail over there!

^?Master, there is a high probability that this beam of light will lead us to clues as to the whereabouts of the three flames. I recommend that you investigate what lies at the end of this beam of light.

^?Mornin', [Link]. How's life? Did you manage to get even a wink of sleep last night?

Figured you might've been tossin' and turnin' all night thinkin' about the big ceremony today.

What am I doin'? Oh, just fixin' this gate here...

It's been squeaky lately, and we can't have that on the day of the ceremony!

Hey, you haven't already forgotten to send your prayers to the goddess this morning, have you?

Just face the bird statue over there, and say a short prayer to save your progress.

As you know, those bird statues are all over Skyloft. It's about time you get in the habit of stoppin' at a statue every time you run by one. A prayer in time saves nine, if you know what I'm sayin'!

^?I'm still workin' on the gate here, so it'll be out of commission for a little bit until I finish up.

Where's Zelda?

Ceremony?

^?Zelda? Oh, she was just at the Statue of the Goddess with Headmaster Gaepora.

What's the best way up to the big statue? It's time you learn for yourself, kid. Just press [C] to take a look around. You can't miss her! If your view gets a little off when you're looking around using [C], you can always center your view with [d-pad down]. Remember that!

^?All set for today's big Wing Ceremony?

If you come away with a win, you'll move on up to the senior class. Then after you graduate, you get to be a rescue knight. Those knights sure do keep order here in Skyloft, and I don't have to tell you that it's a pretty big deal to become one. I'd like to see you make it.

^?Is something wrong? What's the big hurry?

What?! Your Loftwing is missing?! But I just saw him. Groose's bird was chasing off after your feathered fella.

Which way?

Where's Groose?

^?Uh, I think...uh... Well, to be honest, I don't really know where they went.

^?Oh, Groose and his little cronies were saying they were headed down to the Wing Ceremony.

So my guess is they might be in town. Normally, the fastest way there is just down this path...

But this gate here still needs some work before it'll open. Can you go around through the academy?

^?Still got more questions, eh?

My bird!

Groose?

^?Hold up, [Link]! Hey! Hey, [Link]!

Could you help me with something? All you have to do is use [A] to dash and roll into the tree.

Just like I've been doing. Dash, then shake the Nunchuk when you're in front of the tree to--BAM! Do a roll right into it! So come on... Pleeeeease?

^?OK, so to roll, first thing you gotta do is press [A] to run super fast...

While you're running, just shake the Nunchuk and BAM! If you hit it just right, something will drop down from above. So come on... You have to try it!

^?Whooooooooa! You did it! A Sky Stag Beetle!

Wait up!

^?Awwww! My Sky Stag Beetle... So close... Oh well. To catch it, I would need a Bug Net, anyway.

I wish I hadn't thrown out the one I bought at Beedle's Airshop. Awwww...

^?I'm gonna shut this! We can't have any creepy apparitions crawlin' in at night.

I'll leave that door up on the second floor open, though. Just don't let me catch you going out after dark!

Now I know your cute little friend Zelda is gone and you want to go rescue her, but no honest folk here in Skyloft go skulking around in the night.

^?Even those bratty kids are asleep. Ahhhh, finally some peace.

So! Do you think you can find Zelda? Best of luck to you!

^?Hiya, [Link]! Nice breeze today, huh? Perfect for the ceremony!

So who do you think will win today? I guess Groose is a strong contender, but...

The winner will get blessed by a village girl chosen to represent the goddess... How romantic!

^?I dream of playing the part of the goddess at the Wing Ceremony! Just to have a romantic ceremony with the handsome, winning knight. Just once is all I ask...

^?What's up, [Link]? You seem to be in a hurry...

What's this about your bird? Oh, that unusual Crimson Loftwing... Have I seen him? I'm sorry. I haven't.

Why don't you look for him by the Statue of the Goddess? You'll have a good view of the whole town from way up there. Just check your map using [+]. Knowing you, that's the best way to avoid getting lost...again.

^?Press [+] to check your map and find your way to the Statue of the Goddess. Look for your bird there!

^?Morning, [Link]!

So...today's the Wing Ceremony. Are you ready?

All I'm saying is everyone else is out practicing at the plaza, but you seem pretty...relaxed about the whole thing.

Of course, that Crimson Loftwing of yours is something special. I'd feel pretty confident riding him, too!

My bird won the last ceremony, but even I don't think he could beat that red terror of yours...

Of course, a bird's true speed in a race always comes down to the skill of the rider.

I'm something of a bird researcher around here. So, you know, if you ever find yourself in need of some bird expertise, come see ol' Pipit.

^?If you need to know anything about birds, you just let ol' Pipit know!

^?You're not still wandering around the academy, are you?!

What?! Your Loftwing won't come when you call for it? Why would a guardian bird not come when it's called? You know, I've never heard of this ever happening before, so I can't even tell you what you're doing wrong...

But a good senior never hangs an underclassman out to dry. We'll figure this out together!

You go to the plaza, and ask people there if they know anything. In the meantime, I'll ask around here.

^?You won't find your bird hanging around here unless he's enrolling in the academy. You should stick with searching outside for now. I'll be asking around for leads too, and I'll let you know if I find out anything that'll help.

^?Hey, [Link]! I was just looking for you.

^?I heard your Loftwing has gone missing, so I thought I'd join in the search.

And get this: when I asked Fledge what he knew, he started acting weird.

^?That's it! Right there. I think it means the waterfall marked here with [X].

^?You know how to read a map, right? Press [+] at any time to see a map of the area. If you get lost, just press [+]!

^?One more thing, [Link]!

^?[Link]!

^?If you're heading over to the plaza, the quickest way is out the door on the ground floor.

The exit on the top floor is still locked, so you obviously can't get out there.

^?What's taking the lunch lady so long? I'm going to have a word with her later.

^?Hey! [Link]!

^?I'm so sorry, [Link]!

I really wanted to tell you, but...if Groose found out I told you...

^?It sounds like Groose forced him to keep quiet about it.

^?Just a little while ago, when I was cleaning the dining hall, Groose and his buddies came in.

They didn't notice I was there and started talking about their plan to hide your Loftwing.

I wanted to warn you, [Link]. But just as I tried to sneak away...

Groose and his gang grabbed me...

They said that if I told you, they'd make sure I would never be able to ride a bird ever again!

^?It sounds like Groose and his buddies had a plan to capture your bird and hide him near a waterfall.

Well, near a waterfall would mean... Quick--let's take a look at your map.

^?Forgive me, [Link]! I can't help being such a coward... I'm really sorry.

^?If you're going out to the waterfall, remember that there are some dangerous things there. Creepy, crawly things. You'll need to carry a sword. I think I saw the Knight Commander go into the Sparring Hall a while ago. You should go ask him if you can borrow one!

^?Listen. As an upperclassman, I've got some advice for you. There's something you should always do before you go somewhere dangerous. You should find a bird statue and send your prayers to the goddess to save your progress. Make it part of your routine! The bird statues you can pray to are marked on your map. It should be easy to find one.

^?...Do you think you'll make it in time, [Link]?

I'm such a wimp... I'm so sorry.

^?......

^?[Link]! Perfect timing.

^?Go on! Tell him the truth.

^?Over here!

I have some information about your Loftwing. Come over here!

^?What are you doing out here so late?!

You what?! You can't seriously think you're going to ride your Loftwing at this time of night, do you?!

Listen up. Loftwings can't fly at night! They have terrible night vision, and only the few who have received special training can fly in the dark. If you really need to fly, you'll just have to wait for daylight.

^?You can't go flying at night. You just can't.

If you want to go out flying, tuck yourself into bed and sleep until tomorrow morning.

^?Good morning, [Link]! Good luck in the Wing Ceremony today!

Just think: if you win today, you'll become a senior like us and you'll be a very big step closer to graduating as a knight. You'll even get a knight's uniform like I'm wearing. Something tells me you'll be pretty handsome in it!

But still not as dreamy as...him...

^?Oh! It's you, [Link]... Say, you look all flustered. Did something happen?

What?! You can't find your Loftwing?

Umm... I don't know what to tell you. I've been here at school the whole time.

^?Huh? Why do you want to know where Groose hangs out?

Is he up to no good again?

I have no clue where he hangs out. Pipit probably does, though. You should talk to him.

And I think he was looking for you just now... He should be in front of the Sparring Hall.

^?If you win today's ceremony, you'll become a senior like us. Good luck!

^?Don't men open doors for a lady anymore? How long am I supposed to stand here waiting for a little chivalry?! Ugh...

^?Pipit should be in front of the Sparring Hall. You know, at the back of the Knight Academy.

^?Pipit is the one to ask about birds. I saw him downstairs a minute ago. Why don't you look for him there?

^?Look at this thing. Who knows how long this statue has been here?

And it only has one eye. Poor thing... You probably know this, but you can press [C] to look around!

^?That boy really gets me steamed! It's nearly time for dinner, and he's nowhere to be seen! He'd better not be chasing bugs again.

^?Mmm-MMM! Another day, another tasty soup!

^?Where are you going with that? That's no use to me there!

Stop fiddling around, and finish what you came to do!

^?I can't believe Zelda fell off her bird and then down through the clouds. She's so good at riding her bird...

You saw a ghost?! Are you sure you weren't just in shock and maybe imagined it?

^?What do you think you're doing in a girl's room at this time of night?!

I need to take a bath, so get out of here, [Link]!

Well...I mean I WOULD take a bath if whoever is in there now would hurry up and get out. They've been in there a loooong time...

^?You need to talk to me? Just come find me sometime during the day tomorrow.

^?This letter from Cawlin... I don't know what to do about it!

What will Pipit think if he finds out about this?

^?Ah! [Link]! Thank you so much! I'm so happy now...and it's all because of you.

My guy is going out on patrol again tonight. It's not even required of him--it's just something he feels he has to do... Just thinking about him makes my heart start pounding like I just ran up a flight of stairs!

^?Oh, you're taking off on your journey now? Then you probably won't be eating here for a while!

Well, take care of yourself!

Make sure you come home every now and then. Nothing like a good sleep in your own bed.

^?These past few days, I swear I hear a voice every time I walk past the restroom at night.

Who in the world is in there? I just wish they'd pipe down!

^?I don't hear any voices coming from the restroom anymore.

But now Cawlin has been crying himself to sleep in Groose's room... Is there anything we can do?

^?I don't hear that voice from the restroom anymore. I wonder who it was...

^?How are things? Now that you're here, you should find yourself a bed to lie down in and take a rest.

^?I haven't seen Groose around recently. I wonder how that boy's doing.

^?Watch your step there! You can't always depend on knights like me to swoop in and save you.

^?Watch your step there! Haven't they taught you at the academy that knights must always be vigilant? Sharpen up, or you'll never make it to knighthood!

^?Watch your footing out there! In the dark you never know when you might take a wrong step off a ledge.

Oh, and don't let me catch you going out flying at night. Only trained knights such as myself should be doing that. You take care now!

^?Whoa there, trainee! You'll never be promoted to full knighthood if you can't learn to keep your wits about you.

Oh, and don't let me catch you going out flying at night. Only trained knights such as myself should be doing that. You take care now!

^?You may also wish to take certain items you purchased here to the Scrap Shop to have them upgraded!

For example, you can take one of my finely crafted shields and even further enhance its durability.

^?Ahaa! How can I assist you, friend?

How do I shop?

I'm fine.

^?Ahaa! You are quite lucky, as I have a new item just in today, friend.

It's a splendid Iron Shield! Look at the expert craftsmanship. It steals your breath away, doesn't it?

^?Ahaa! I've got some new gear in stock to show you, friend.

Available now, you can purchase an Iron Shield and a Small Seed Satchel. I hope they meet with your approval!

^?Oh, yes, my friend! I've got something new to show you!

Today, I was able to procure a fine Small Bomb Bag! I do hope that it delights you.

^?Ahaa! I've got something new in stock for you, friend.

It's a very mysterious shield called a Sacred Shield. I suggest you linger and give it a good look.

^?Ahaa! My friend, I just got a new item in today!

My latest treasure is a finely crafted Small Quiver! For discerning bow owners, it's simply a must.

Take a look for yourself!

^?Ahaa! You are in luck, because I'm carrying a new item.

Today's new addition is an expertly woven Small Seed Satchel!

Truly, any serious slingshot enthusiast would be embarrassed not to own this, don't you agree? Take a look, friend!

^?It pains me to tell you, friend, but...

It appears your pouch is full. May I suggest you stow some of your belongings at the Item Check?

^?Ahhhh, it pains me to say this, but...

I believe you are already carrying your limit for this item. Perhaps you could turn your attention to any of my other magnificent wares...

^?Oh my!

^?My dear friend! You--ahem--you don't have enough Rupees to pay for this item. You mustn't tease me like that!

^?Ahaa! Thank you for your loyal and continued patronage, friend.

^?Ahaa! The customer is always right!

^?I've taken the liberty of placing your purchases in your pouch. Press [-] to open it, then equip what you need!

^?I've taken the liberty of placing the item in your pouch. To open your pouch, press and hold [-]...

Then move the Wii Remote to point the cursor. Point at the item you want to equip and release [-]. That's all there is to it. For example, to equip an item like a shield, it's as simple as selecting it in your pouch!

^?If you have any doubts about the durability of your shield, I suggest you have it examined at the Scrap Shop.

Provided you take good Gondo there the necessary treasures and the like, he will happily upgrade your items!

^?That's quite all right, friend! I've quite a few other fine items in stock, so do take your time and look around!

^?...

^?You've got quite an eye, friend. Those 10 arrows do make a strong point!

Do be careful not to accidentally shoot people! That would be quite rude. They cost a mere 20 Rupees.

OK!

No, thanks.

^?I do apologize, but I can't sell you this unless you have a bow. It's store policy, you see.

^?Ahaa! I see you eyeing those 10 bombs. So loud. So satisfyingly smoky. And, oh yes, so very destructive! One good blast, and even a sturdy wall can't hope to remain standing.

KA-BOOM! All yours for 20 Rupees.

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Ahaa! Very sorry, but I can't sell you those unless you have a Bomb Bag. Again, my apologies.

^?Ahaa! That's a Wooden Shield. You can use it to block and repel attacks!

You must be careful, though, as it will break if it takes too much abuse.

Oh, and don't forget about fire. It will burn quite easily... It's an unfortunate property of wood. It could be yours for 50 Rupees. Care to buy it, friend?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Ahaa! That there is a very sturdy Iron Shield.

It's much more durable than a wooden shield, and I'm happy to report that it won't burst into flames!

I suppose I should warn you that it won't protect you from electricity, which could come as a nasty...shock.

It's yours for just 100 Rupees. Care to buy it, friend?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Ahaa! That's a Sacred Shield! As you might surmise from its name, it can handle all variety of attacks!

Fire? Not a sweat! Electricity? No painful zaps! Plus, it will automatically repair itself when it sustains damage!

It's a little fragile, but that shouldn't be a problem for one as talented and agile as yourself!

At a cost of 500 Rupees, it's an investment...but an excellent one! Care to buy it?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?I see you have an interest in 10 Deku Seeds! They are truly the perfectly matched projectile for a slingshot. They could be yours for 20 Rupees. Care to buy them today?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?My friend...you don't appear to have a slingshot.

I simply couldn't sell you these in good conscience if you do not have a slingshot. Perhaps I can interest you in some of my other wares...

^?That's a Small Seed Satchel. With this in your pouch, you can carry 10 additional seeds.

Recommended for slingshot enthusiasts! It costs 100 Rupees. Do we have a deal, friend?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That's a Small Quiver. With this in your pouch, you can carry five more arrows!

Perfect for anyone enamored with archery! It costs 150 Rupees. Do we have a deal, friend?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That's a Small Bomb Bag. Just slip this into your pouch, and you can carry five additional bombs.

If you relish a good explosion, this is the item for you! It costs a mere 150 Rupees. Care to buy it, friend?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?[Link], I'm going to tend to my bird and make sure he's not hurt. I'll catch up with you later.

Go and see if anyone in town knows what happened to your Loftwing.

^?Hey, [Link], I was hoping I'd find you here.

I heard you'd gone searching for your bird around the waterfall, so I thought I'd fly around and help you look.

How's your search going? Any sign of your Loftwing?

^?Oh no...

Well, let's not lose hope yet. There's a place up ahead that Groose and his gang are always hanging around. Maybe we'll find something there!

^?Oh, sorry, [Link]. I got distracted for a moment. Let's go!

^?Huh...?

^?Who... Who's that?

Who's calling for me?

^?Look! There he is!

^?No doubt about it. That's your Loftwing, [Link]!

^?What're you waiting around for, [Link]? Let's go get your Loftwing!

^?That's so cruel! They've boarded him up in there!

[Link], can you do something to get all those planks out of the way?

^?OK, let's try this again, shall we? This time you won't have me to push you over the edge, so gather up some courage and JUMP! Just dash off the edge to leap into a dive.

Oh, and just before you land, be sure you press [B] to open up your Sailcloth and slow your fall, or it's going to be an ugly landing... And don't forget that you've got to land in the middle of that round design in the courtyard below!

^?Oh boy, I see you messed up your landing.

Remember, once you dive off the edge, you can control the angle of your fall by tilting the Wii Remote. I bet you're ready to try again, aren't you? I won't push you this time, so take the leap when you're ready!

Just dash off the edge to jump into a dive. Then, just before you hit the ground, press and hold [B]!

Oh, and don't forget that you've got to land in the middle of that round design in that courtyard below.

^?Your Loftwing really is amazing. Especially considering everything the poor guy has been through this morning. I'm going to fly back and tell Father what happened.

^?Well, well, if it isn't [Link]!

^?Word around the plaza is you found that dumb bird of yours.

Well, that's just great. Because you and your dumb bird can't tell time, all the prerace warm-ups me and the guys did were for nothin'. Now I'm all stiff. We've been waiting forever for the race to start, and they delay it for you? I don't get it. The big flake gets special treatment?

^?You're almost a man, and yet you still can't seem to go anywhere without Zelda.

I bet you can't even decide what to have for lunch on your own, huh?

And don't think we haven't noticed the smug looks. "Ooh, Zelda and I are BEST friends. We go everywhere together." Ugh! ...You think you're pretty suave, don't you? Well? Don't you?!

^?Groose has been going on forever about how he's gonna be the one to be with Zelda. He's really got his pompadour in a ruffle about her!

^?Der her her.

^?I hate to break it to you, but today's the day I bust up this adorable little fantasyland you're living in.

Zelda's playing the role of the goddess at today's ceremony, and I'm gonna be the one to claim that Sailcloth.

When I heard she made it herself, man, no way was I gonna let some scrawny clown snatch that prize from me.

^?Oh yes, that Sailcloth--Zelda's Sailcloth--will be mine! Duh huh huh...

Oh, man, I bet she was thinking about me when she was stitching it...

Yup, I can see it now. First, I win the big race, and then Zelda and I finish the ceremony together on the statue. Just the two of us... It'll be our special moment alone. Nobody is stopping me and Zelda from having our moment. Oh, it's so real I can... I can see it...

^?Duh... Duh huh huh huh! Oh yeah...

^?Groose! Pssst, Groose! Behind you! Right behind you!

^?WHAT?! Can't you two see I'm in the middle of--

^?GAH!

^?Care to explain just what you meant by "our special moment alone"?

^?I...uh, nothing big, really. Just... Just...

[Link]! Yeah, I was just telling my buddy here how glad I was he found that red bird of his. Boy, am I looking forward to a fair race!

^?Anyhow, later, Zelda. Look for me during the race. I'll be the one pulling off all the dangerous moves.

^?Hey, Groose! Wait up!

^?Did you hear that guy? A fair race? Yeah, the chances of that happening are just about less than zero.

Either way, don't let those fools get you down, [Link]! Just get out there and fly the best you can!

I know you've got these guys beat, and deep down I think you do too.

Yeah!

I dunno...

Us? Alone?

^?That's the spirit, [Link]! Trust me--you can win this.

^?Aww, don't be nervous. You can do this!

^?Come on, [Link]! Try to focus for once.

^?The Wing Ceremony will now begin! Participating students, please assemble!

^?Looks like it's race time. Good luck, [Link]!

^?[Link], let's run your bird through the basics just to make sure he's not hurt.

^?You can change the direction your bird is flying by tilting the Wii Remote to the left and right.

When you want to speed up...

Swing the Wii Remote up to gain some altitude, then point the Wii Remote down to drop into a fast dive!

So, again, tilt the Wii Remote up, then point the Wii Remote down to speed up! Those are the basics of getting your bird up to top speed.

^?So how's he handling? Do you think he's flying all right?

^?While riding your Loftwing, you can press [2] at any time to go over the basic controls again.

You can also press [A] to charge, which is an attack that also gives you a burst of speed. Press [B] to slow down. Try all these moves and see how they feel!

^?Here's a tip for how to really build up some speed on your bird, [Link]!

Swing the Wii Remote up and down, and when you are high enough, tilt the Wii Remote downward to go into a descent that increases your speed. Swing up and down, then tilt down. Got it? That's how you increase your speed!

^?Well, that's a huge relief! I don't know about you, [Link], but your Loftwing looks like he's flying great.

My father and the others are probably worried about your bird, so let's go give them the good news!

^?[Link]!

^?This is Zelda's journal. One of the entries is unfinished. Read the entry?

Read it!

Don't read.

^?You've chosen not to read her journal.

^?Tomorrow's the big day! The Wing Ceremony! Finally, [Link] can take a big step toward becoming a knight. I can't wait to see him promoted to full knighthood, but I'm a little worried he might have some trouble winning the race. Lately, [Link] hasn't taken his flight training seriously. Someone needs to make sure he doesn't mess up his chance! So I've made up my mind. Tomorrow I'll wake him up extra early and make sure he gets in some last-minute practice, whether he likes it or not. He has to win, or we won't be able to perform the closing ceremony together!

103-DaiShinkan.msbt

^?Don't worry, [Link]--I'll be sure to explain your predicament to Instructor Horwell. Go find him and ask him to meet me in my quarters. While we chat, why don't you go ask some of the other students about your bird? I seem to recall a few of them were gathered near the plaza.

^?Ah, hello, [Link]. Have you managed to find your Loftwing yet?

You suspect that Groose had a hand in your bird's disappearance? I tell you, that boy is always up to trouble.

^?...Headmaster, if that is true, then all the better. Groose has made it that much easier to delay the start of the race. I doubt even Groose will have the gall to complain openly, considering it's his fault we had to delay in the first place.

^?I see. Yes, he has painted himself into a bit of a corner, hasn't he? Well, it's settled then.

[Link], don't worry about the race starting without you. Take the time you need to find your Loftwing.

^?Still can't find your bird?

Calm yourself and use your head. I'm sure you'll find a lead to his whereabouts soon.

^?Quite a number of inexplicable things seem to be happening here...

What might happen if you do as that strange being asks?

^?I hear your sparring instructor, the Knight Commander, also knows that you will set out from Skyloft. He's concerned for you. Why don't you consider stopping by the Sparring Hall and speaking with him before you go?

[Link]...be safe out there. I'm counting on you to find Zelda!

^?Ah, [Link]! How goes your search? Have you found any leads as to Zelda's whereabouts?

I feel terrible forcing you to face this task alone, but we mustn't let the rest of the village catch wind of what transpired that awful night. If the truth of what we saw that night was exposed to the village, it could cause mass confusion amongst the people here. I'm afraid this mission has to fall to you alone. Good luck, and may the winds be at your back.

^?You're back, [Link]! Good to see you're still in one piece.

So, how's it going down there? Are you any closer to finding my Zelda?

^?Hmm... I see... My dear Zelda... Things must be terribly trying for her down there.

And it can't be easy for you now either, can it?

^?What? You want to know the lyrics to the song Zelda sang on the day of the Wing Ceremony?

You know, I'm not much of a singer...

Just lyrics!

Sing it!

^?Listen--as I said, I wouldn't feel comfortable serenading you. But if it's the lyrics you're after, I can recite them for you. Let's see...

^?You just want the lyrics? Oh! What a relief. You really put me on the spot there for a moment. I believe the lyrics go something like this...

^?Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess...unite earth and sky, and bring light to the land.

That's the first part, but as I recall, there's a second verse to the song.

Oh youth, show the two whirling sails the way to the Light Tower...and before you a path shall open, and a heavenly song you shall hear.

^?I believe that's the whole thing.

The Light Tower mentioned in the song is a real place; I'm sure you've seen the tower in the plaza. I don't know a thing about two whirling sails though... It sounds like the song is suggesting that if one shows these whirling sails the way to the tower, something will happen? But how do you go about doing that, and what does it mean? Two whirling sails. Hmm...

^?Guide the two great whirling sails toward the Light Tower. The youth who does so shall be led to the place where songs of legend dwell. [Link], these lyrics have been passed down through countless generations here in Skyloft.

There's a strong probability that the two whirling sails the song mentions must also exist somewhere in Skyloft.

Bear in mind, this is only a wild theory, but hopefully some of this will prove useful in your search.

^?[Link], you're the only hope Zelda has now. I'm counting on you.

Find her, and bring her home safe as quickly as you can!

^?Ah, hello, [Link]! Have you heard anything more about my daughter?

What is it...? If you know anything at all, I urge you to share it with me.

^?...You want to tell me but you can't? Hmm. I...understand. I'm sure you have good reason for keeping quiet...

^?[Link], I've been doing some thinking since we last spoke.

You have had this destiny thrust upon you without warning...or choice, for that matter. But I wish to help you as best I can. I'm getting older, and I lack the vigor of youth...but even old men have ways of being useful, too!

I wish to share as much of my knowledge with you as I can!

If you have any question...any question at all about Skyloft or its history, I will be glad to tell you all that I know.

Actually...

Not now.

^?What do I know of the Triforce...?

[Link], where did you hear that word?

It's true that the ancient texts make several mentions of the Triforce within their pages.

Unfortunately, the actual location of the Triforce isn't illuminated in any of those tomes. Its whereabouts are lost to history.

^?So you have no need for the wisdom of an old man like myself?

Well, just remember that the wisdom of years can prevail where youth alone might fall short. If you desire my help, I'll be here.

^?Sorry, [Link]. It shames me to say it, but my knowledge is of little use on this subject.

^?Do I know anyone else who might know more about the Triforce?

Within Skyloft? No, I doubt anyone else in town would know much about a subject as ancient and archaic as that...

^?I see. So Levias is possessed... The Spiral Charge is a high-risk maneuver, so make sure you know what you're doing when you unleash it!

^?It's happened, [Link]!

The goddess... The goddess and her isle have vanished from Skyloft!

The truth is...

Err...

^?No need to explain, [Link]!

When all catastrophes are overcome, only then will the goddess make her return to the surface.

These are the last of the secret words passed down here in Skyloft. It is only now that I realize the significance of them. Yes... Their meaning is clear to me. This must mean it's all over... And my Zelda... she's safe at last?

I'm sorry.

No.

^?And...whatever other surprises fate may have in store for you, I'm sure you will triumph. We're counting on you after all! Just stay focused on the task at hand. Put all your strength into it, and you can't go wrong!

^?I have faith that you shall bring my daughter back to me. I desire that more than an explanation of whatever it was that transpired here! Good luck, [Link]!

^?Amazing! So you've not only calmed the senseless rage that gripped Levias, but you've also discerned the location of the Triforce as well? [Link], lately you've grown so much that I feel as though I am looking at a different person each time we meet. Many troubles still await you, no doubt, but I'm confident you shall overcome any obstacle that stands in your way. May the goddess protect you!

^?Hello, [Link]! I hope your search is progressing well.

You need to find somewhere to insert this Stone of Trials, you say?

That gem...yes, I do believe I have seen something that it might fit into, but I just can't recall where...

^?I'm quite certain I've seen a stone like that before, but I don't recall where.

Perhaps the town fortune-teller might be able to put you on the right track?

^?I could've sworn I heard the most thunderous noise outside a moment ago.

Well, it's probably just these old ears playing tricks on me. Don't let me hold you up. I'm counting on you to bring Zelda back!

^?[Link], just a moment!

^?Though, there is one whose vast knowledge may be of use...

Surely you're familiar with Levias, the great sky spirit who has guarded our realm for ages?

Levias has served as the protector of our skies for a long time, and his knowledge of our world is encyclopedic, to put it mildly. If anyone in the entirety of Skyloft and beyond were to know about the Triforce, it would be him.

Where is he?

Encyclopedic?

^?Yes... I feared that might be your next question. About that...

^?Yes, his knowledge is almost limitless, but I fear meeting him may be harder than you anticipate...

^?I imagine in your travels you've taken notice of the tremendous thunderhead that suddenly appeared in our skies.

Recently, I've heard rumors suggesting that Levias is trapped inside that massive cloud.

^?I asked Instructor Owlan to look into this troubling cloud in order to determine if there is any truth to these rumors. I had meant to inquire about his findings earlier but completely forgot about it after Zelda went missing.

Instructor Owlan can fill me in on the details later, so why don't you go speak with him yourself and see what his investigation has revealed?

^?If you wish to know more about Levias's current location, speak with Instructor Owlan. He should be in his chambers next door.

^?What are you standing around for? Everyone's already in the sky! Jump off the edge and call your bird!

104-Rival.msbt

^?Poor Zelda...

You... This is your fault, you know. You can barely fly straight, and yet somehow you beat me in the race...

It should've been me up there with her that day. But I guess now I'll just have to be the one to save her!

^?Oh, Zelda, where are you?

Hey, hotshot! Don't think I don't see you flying in and out of town all the time.

I know what you're up to! You're trying to make sure you find Zelda first, but it ain't gonna happen!

Aww...this is the worst.

^?Where's Zelda gone off to? I can't stand it anymore...

^?It's driving me crazy! I've looked absolutely everywhere, but still no Zelda.

I do have one last idea, though. Have you seen the lights that popped up out of the clouds a few days ago?

So I say to myself, Groose, that thing looks kinda fishy. Then one day it hits me!

What if that's Zelda down there, and she's sending me a signal? It's a sign! It says, "Save me, Groose. You're my only hope!" The more I think about it, the more sure I get! It's Zelda down there, and I gotta go rescue her!

Anyhow, don't think about trying to go down there before me. I'm her hero, remember?

Ugh. I don't even know why I'm talking to you. Looking at you just makes me feel sad again.

^?Man, when Groose gets sad, he's downright miserable.

He's always in his room sulking, and when he does come out, he gets angry at everyone for no reason! Even me!

The way I hear it, you're the one responsible for Zelda going missing. This is your mess, so you'd better fix it!

^?Hey, I just checked Groose's room, and the guy is gone. You got any idea where he went?

...Maybe he had to run away because of his broken heart? What a tough guy. Heh heh...

^?Hey, I just saw the news. Out of all of us, how come only you got promoted to senior class? Talk about stupid calls!

On top of all that, Groose won't come out of his room AND Zelda is missing.

It's all your fault! Way to go there, buddy. Some senior-class guy you are!

^?Hey! Don't you know this is my day to get all the glory?

^?Yeah, you heard him! Let's see how you fly with egg on your face.

^?So Zelda really fell down and vanished into the clouds?

You were with her, weren't you? What gives? Why didn't you do something to save her?

^?Look at Groose. Just look at him! The guy is so far down in the dumps, I hardly recognize him. It's hard to see him like this! It's all because you let Zelda fall! You messed things up, so you better fix them.

^?I'm beginning to wonder if Groose is ever going to pull himself out of this nose dive.

Sure, it's tough for him, but imagine how I feel having to listen to him moping all the time.

I can't wait to get back to my room...

105-Terry.msbt

^?Want to know why I'm on a bicycle?

Yeah, why?

Not really.

^?Aren't you a curious one!

I pedal this bike to generate enough electricity to keep this place in the air! Plus, all this pedaling has got me in fantastic shape! Yep, I'd say my lifestyle is pretty ecofriendly! But, uh...with you on board, there's plenty of extra weight, so I have to pedal as hard as I can...

^?Fine, then. Just don't break my concentration!

With you on board, I have to pedal as hard as I can because of all the EXTRA WEIGHT...

^?Oh, sorry! ...I don't mean to be rude! Please have a look around. I've got all kinds of great stuff!

^?Oh! You are the wonderful boy who found my Horned Colossus Beetle!

To thank you, you can choose any single item here and I will sell it to you at half price.

^?Oh, hello! I'm so glad to see you back at Beedle's Airshop! Let me know if you're interested in any of my items.

^?Ah! Welcome!

What?! You found something?! If I try to talk about it now, we might crash...

Why don't we talk later this evening? You can rest on that bed over there until it's night.

^?Oh! Welcome, customer...

Please, help me! My Horned Colossus Beetle is missing!

It may look like it takes everything I've got to keep this place afloat, but I can't get the thought of my poor lost beetle out of my head!

^?Oh... Valued customer... You're back...

What? I don't seem like my usual self?

I can't hide anything from you, can I?

Well, I can't talk about it right now because I'm busy pedaling. Why don't you lie down on the bed over there and rest? We can talk tonight.

^?Oh! If you want, you can take a nap on the bed over there. We can talk tonight when I can stop pedaling!

^?Oh! You've come all this way? It's so rare to have a customer here!

Beedle's Airshop has everything you could ever want. Please, take a look around!

And if you actually buy something, that would be even better!

^?Oh! Your pouch is full! You can't carry any more stuff!

Your space at the Item Check is completely full as well?

Well, hurry up and free up some space in your pouch or at the Item Check, and then come back!

^?Oh no! You don't have enough Rupees! Look at my face. If that's your idea of a joke, I'm not laughing!

^?Oh! Thank you ever so much! You've given me the strength to keep pedaling!

^?Oh! It really suits you!

^?Oh! Please take a look at the other things I have for sale.

^?Oh! Please wait a moment!

^?Do you know how heavy you are?! I have to pedal extra hard with you up here!

Then you have the gall to leave without buying anything? Off with you!

^?Oh! Unfortunately, that sign means the item is sold out.

Thanks to you, I've done a lot more business than usual, so I'm having trouble keeping the store stocked.

^?That'll increase the number of items you can carry in your Adventure Pouch by one!

It has to be the most useful thing imaginable for an adventure! And yet it costs a mere 300 Rupees.

I'll take it!

No, thanks.

^?That will let you carry one additional item in your Adventure Pouch!

If you're on an adventure, this has to be the most useful thing you can imagine. And it's half price just this once! It's yours for 150 Rupees.

I'll take it!

No, thanks.

^?Oh! You have great taste in things... Isn't it shiny? I found it someplace nearby.

To be honest, I have no idea what it's for, but I'll sell it to you for just 1,600 Rupees!

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Oh! You have great taste in things... Isn't it shiny? I found it someplace nearby.

To be honest, I have no idea what it's for, but I'm pricing it at 1,600 Rupees!

However, you can have it at half price today for only 800 Rupees. Is it a deal?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That's an Extra Wallet. It's amazingly useful!

With this, you can carry an extra 300 Rupees in your wallet!

Say good-bye to all those times you couldn't pick up another Rupee because your wallet was stuffed full! Leave no Rupee behind! Even you must be able to see just how useful this item is, and all for only 100 Rupees. Want to buy it?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That's an Extra Wallet. It's amazingly useful!

With this, you can carry an extra 300 Rupees in your wallet!

Say good-bye to all those times you couldn't pick up another Rupee because your wallet was stuffed full! Leave no Rupee behind! It's usually 100 Rupees, but I'll sell it to you now for 50 Rupees. How about it?

I'll take it!

No, thanks.

^?That's a Bug Net. You know, for catching bugs! Insects too.

OK, so there aren't so many bugs here, but you'll be able to catch tons with this when there are some!

And at only 50 Rupees, I'm sure you'll make a "net profit"! Want to buy it?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That's a Life Medal! It bestows a bunch of mysterious and mystical effects on whoever carries it!

What kind of effects...? Don't ask me-- I don't actually know! You should find out for yourself.

I'm pretty sure it's a real bargain at 800 Rupees, though! How about it?

I'll buy it!

No, thanks.

^?That's a Life Medal! It bestows a bunch of mysterious and mystical effects on whoever carries it!

What kind of effects...? Don't ask me-- I don't actually know! You should find out for yourself.

Today, I'm slashing the price and offering it half off! Usually 800 Rupees, now just 400 Rupees! Want it?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That thing right there will allow you to carry one additional item in your Adventure Pouch!

For an adventurer like yourself, it has to be the most amazing item ever imagined. And it costs just 600 Rupees.

What? Me, raise prices? Never! You're obviously hallucinating! So how about it? Only 600 Rupees.

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That thing right there will allow you to carry one additional item in your Adventure Pouch!

For an adventurer like yourself, it has to be the most amazing item ever imagined. And it costs just 300 Rupees.

It's usually 600 Rupees, so you'd be getting an incredible deal. So, want to buy it? Only 300 Rupees.

OK.

No, thanks.

^?This thing will open up another space in your Adventure Pouch. It's my last one, so it's, uh...a little expensive!

The price is 1,200 Rupees. If I were you, I'd think hard about whether I really need it or not...

I need it!

No, thanks.

^?This will open up another space in your Adventure Pouch. It's my last one, so it's pretty expensive, I'm afraid!

I usually sell it for 1,200 Rupees. But just for you, I'll sell it right now for 600 Rupees.

Still, that's a lot of Rupees. If I were you, I'd think carefully about whether I really need it...

I need it!

No, thanks.

^?That right there is a Bug Medal. As long as you're carrying that, you'll be able to see on your map where bugs can be found. Quite expensive, but if you like catching bugs, it's indispensable! I'll sell it for 1,000 Rupees. Wanna buy it?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That right there is a Bug Medal. As long as you're carrying that, you'll be able to see on your map where bugs can be found. Quite expensive, but if you like to catch bugs, it's indispensable!

I usually sell this for 1,000 Rupees, but today I can offer it to you for just 500 Rupees. How about it?

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Ah! Wakey for the young slugabed, hmmmm? You appeared to be relishing that snooze, so I declined to wake you.

But I must say, old bug, you did make the shop a mite heavier... Heh heh!

Your accent!

Where am I?

^?Hmmm? The mellifluous timbre of my voice sounds different to you?

...Perhaps a touch, I suppose... But pray, what does it matter, hmm?

^?This is my humble home, of sorts. When night draws her tenebrous curtain across the sky, I come here.

A bit lacking in creature comforts, to be sure, but I can relax in peace.

You're aware that Loftwings don't fly at night, I'm sure...so I suppose I shall have to take you back to town with me on the morrow, hmm? When you wish to go back to Skyloft, just chase your dreams on the bed once more, and on the morrow you shall be there.

^?But I would be remiss if I didn't let you know of the weight on my heart...

My precious Horned Colossus Beetle has gone missing, along with his cage...

It's a tragedy that shatters a man to the core... 'Twas such a rare insect and so very...friendly to boot.

I'll find it!

Don't worry.

^?Simple for you to say, I'm sure, but I can't just forget about him so easily.

^?Ah! Truly? I must thank you! I shan't forget this!

^?My precious Horned Colossus Beetle... ...Please go and find him with all haste. He abides out there, somewhere, all alone in the wild. I beg of you!

^?By the way...

About my precious Horned Colossus Beetle... Have you found him yet?

^?Yes, can I help you? Ah... Pray, you have something to show me?

^?Ohh! You really did find my precious Horned Colossus Beetle?!

^?You found him! My dear bug, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Next time you enter my shop, I demand you take any one of my items for half off the listed price!

It's just my way of saying thank you!

^?Ahh, your face cries out in earnest wonder, and that cry is "What's this?!"

This, my dear bug, is a very rare insect called a Horned Colossus Beetle.

He is my most precious possession.

I could gaze at him all night...

^?Ah! You mounted my bed and rode the sleep sheep through the fields of night once more. You were out like a log!

I daresay you weigh as much as a log as well, and a rather large one at that. Pedaling around with you on board has quite enervated me. ...It's quite all right, though, old bug! I'm actually getting rather used to it. You're getting me into cracking shape.

^?Oh! Thank you so much! I owe you a lifetime of gratitude for this!

To say thank you, I'll sell you one item from my shop at half off, so please stop by again!

^?Oh! Thank you so much. I will always be grateful for this!

My beloved Horned Colossus Beetle... I just never get tired of looking at it.

^?Ah, I don't suppose you'd be willing to go look for my precious Horned Colossus Beetle? I'd be grateful if you did!

Of course!

Let it go.

^?Please find my precious Horned Colossus Beetle!

^?Hmm...

^?If you wish to go back to Skyloft, simply sleep in the bed until morning.

106-DrugStore.msbt

^?Welcome, young man!

This is the Potion Shop! I sell potions that you'll find handy in sticky situations. Want to hear more?

Sure!

Nah.

^?No need to be rude. I'm busy too, you know! But you look like such a nice boy, so I'll forgive you.

If you want some more potent potions, go and talk to my husband. He can mix up ingredients to infuse and improve the regular potions I sell here.

^?Such a smart boy you are! Just stand in front of the potion you want to hear about, and press [A].

I'll talk you through everything that potion will do for you. The potions I carry are pretty basic.

However, if you want something with a bit more kick to it...

You can buy one of my potions and walk it a few steps down to my husband there. He'll be able to help you out.

He might not look like much, but he mixes a mean potion, and he's used to dealing with kids like you.

^?Hmm? Something I can do for you?

Teach me!

Not really.

^?Hey! You there! Yes, you! The adorable boy with the golden hair!

Welcome to the Potion Shop! You can drink our potions when you're injured to fill up your hearts.

Hey, you're one of those knights, aren't you? Or one in training, at least, hmmm?

Let me tell you, one look at you and I can tell you'll need my potions by the cauldron full! So don't try to slink away without stocking up.

^?Oh dear...

I forgot to ask if you have an Empty Bottle on you...

Just so you know, I can't sell you a potion if you don't have an Empty Bottle to pour it into!

For some reason, I like you, though, so I'll give you a spare Empty Bottle I've been keeping here in the stall! Oh, it's nothing. It's my little gift. You won't hear me say this often, but you can put other things besides potions in an Empty Bottle, so it's a useful thing to carry around!

^?Empty Bottles fit in your Adventure Pouch. Press [-] to take a look.

^?Empty Bottles fit in your Adventure Pouch. Press [-] to take a look.

Hold [-] and tilt the Wii Remote to choose the item you want to use.

Release [-] to select that item. Easy, right?

^?If you ever get to the point where you can't fit any more stuff in your pouch because it's full, you can always drop items off at the Item Check. So what would you like to buy?

^?Dear, your pouch is full! You're quite the little shopper, aren't you?

Why don't you leave some of your things with that nice Item Check girl? Then you won't have to carry all that junk around with you!

^?Here's something that'll put some fire in your belly, young man! The new potion I've been concocting is finally ready! I call it a Stamina Potion!

If you drink this up, your stamina gauge won't drop as fast as usual!

I'll admit it's a bit on the pricey side, but I bet you'll find yourself in a situation where a boost of stamina will make it worthwhile! If you want to buy some, just walk on over to the display and take a look!

^?Boy, have I got the new potion for you! I call it...the Air Potion!

One delicious gulp of this elixir and you'll find that while you are underwater, your oxygen gauge will drop much more slowly! You'll be like a little fish, young man! And the price is more than generous, if I do say so myself.

If you're interested in a bottle, young man, just examine the blue cauldron, and I'll come running!

^?You don't have an Empty Bottle. Come back when you've got one, young man.

^?My dear, you don't have enough money! You're such a sweet boy, but I have to think of my husband and children! Come back and see me when you've got some more pocket money.

^?Thank you, sweetie! If you want a potion powered up, go see my husband at the end of the counter. He can mix something up for you.

^?You don't want it, dear? I know some of my potions might taste a bit strange, but there's no denying that they do what's advertised!

^?Hmph! I don't need window-shoppers here, dear.

^?That's a vat of Heart Potion! Drink this, dear, and it will replenish eight hearts.

Why don't you pick some up for your adventure? It's only 20 Rupees. How about it?

Yes, please.

No, thanks.

^?Hello there!

Oh...but before I get into my spiel, I should warn you that you need an Empty Bottle to buy anything here. Understand, dear? If you want to know more about how things work around here, just ask!

^?That's Air Potion! If you drink that, your oxygen gauge will reduce less quickly when you're underwater for a short time. Are you interested, dear? It's only 20 Rupees.

Sure!

No, thanks.

^?Slow down, dear. That potion is not quite ready for public consumption yet, but I promise I'll have it out soon!

In the meantime, I've got plenty of other great potions for you to try out. Why not have a look?

^?Now that amazing concoction is called Stamina Potion.

Drinking it will make your stamina gauge decrease more slowly for a short time.

It's a little pricey but well worth it. I'll sell it to you for 50 Rupees!

OK!

No, thanks.

^?This wonderful potion completely stops your stamina gauge from being depleted for a little while.

However, I haven't quite perfected the formula, so you'll have to wait until it's ready.

Please feel free to take a look at my other potions, though.

^?This mysterious elixir is known as Revitalizing Potion!

Simply pour it on a broken shield, and in moments the shield will be as good as new! It's amazing!

Not only that, but this multipurpose mixture will even restore four hearts!

How about some to take on your travels? It's only 30 Rupees!

OK!

No, thanks.

^?That is a Guardian Potion. This stuff makes you feel invincible! It's a potion that reduces the damage you take for a little bit of time. If you find yourself facing an opponent who's a little out of your league, this is the potion for you!

This kind of potion doesn't come cheap though. It's 200 Rupees. How about it?

Sure!

No, thanks.

^?Ah...hello... Welcome to my humble little side business over here.

I, uh...infuse the potions my wife sells with new ingredients to increase their power. It's nothing, really...just something I like to do. Well...ah, do you have any potions you would like me to infuse?

Sure.

Nah.

^?These are the potions you are currently carrying that I can infuse...

^?I see... No bother to me... Hope to see you again...someday...

^?Oh, welcome! Our shop is in the potion- brewing-and-infusing business, as I'm sure you know...

Anyway, I can improve potions you buy over there from my wife.

But of course... Sir, you'll need to bring me some insects if you want me to improve potions for you. Or bugs... You can call them bugs if you like... You can buy a Bug Net from Beedle's Airshop if you don't have one...

Beedle is usually flying his shop outside around the Bazaar... Yes... If you look around, you should see him up there...

^?You can buy a Bug Net from Beedle's Airshop if you don't have one...

Beedle is usually flying his shop outside around the Bazaar... Yes... If you look around, you should see him up there...

^?Oh, welcome... Sorry, did you just say you have something to give me?

You'll have to forgive me. I'm a little too busy right now. Do you think...you could come by my house later? I'll be there tonight. Sorry for the inconvenience... Hope to see you later.

^?...Welcome! ......Sigh...

Sorry--I shouldn't be sighing in front of a customer... You see, recently I haven't been able to sleep at night...

Ahhh... Sorry, I also shouldn't be complaining in front of a customer... Again...

^?Ahh, OK... I can improve this potion. You're sure this is what you want?

Yep.

Maybe not...

^?Ah, wonderful... Just a moment... Sorry to make you wait like this...

^?All done... Here you are. I hope I didn't set your expectations too high...

^?I understand... Is there anything else I can infuse for you?

^?Oh... So you're not interested? Well, I hope to see you again.

^?Thank you very much! Yes, thank you! Please, please come again!

^?If you have any other potions that you want to infuse, you can bring them to me. I'll be happy to help!

^?Ah... I'm afraid this potion can't be improved on. If you'd like to buy some potions, please speak with my wife...

^?Oh, but...you don't have enough materials to enhance this potion...

I'm really sorry, but...maybe you could choose something else?

^?Oh...dear. This is so uncomfortable to say, but...you don't seem to have enough Rupees. I'd love to help you, but...you see...

^?Oh no... You don't have any potions to infuse.

My wife down there sells potions, if you want to speak with her...

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs just a whiff of Faron Grasshopper. According to my secret infuser's handbook, these can be found within heavily wooded areas.

^?Sorry to disappoint... How about another potion?

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. The brew still needs a light dusting of Woodland Rhino Beetle. According to my secret infuser's handbook, these can be found within heavily wooded areas.

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. The brew still needs a smidge of Deku Hornet. According to my secret infuser's handbook, these can be found within heavily wooded areas.

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs a smidge of Skyloft Mantis. As I recall, there's quite a few of these around Skyloft...

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs a dusting of Volcanic Ladybug. According to my secret infuser's handbook, they make their home on a mountain of fire in the world below.

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs a pinch of Blessed Butterfly. As I recall, there's quite a few of these around Skyloft...

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs just a whiff of Lanayru Ant. According to my secret infuser's handbook, these bugs live in large groups and dwell somewhere sandy below the clouds.

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs a sprinkling of Sand Cicada. According to my secret infuser's handbook, these bugs live in large groups and dwell somewhere sandy below the clouds.

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs a pinch or two of Gerudo Dragonfly. According to my secret infuser's handbook, these bugs live in large groups and dwell somewhere sandy below the clouds.

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs a savory hint of Eldin Roller. According to my secret infuser's handbook, they make their home on a mountain of fire in the world below.

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs a smidge of Sky Stag Beetle. Skyloft is quite famous for these lovely bugs, isn't it?

^?Oh...if you want to infuse that potion, I'm afraid you're still one ingredient short. This brew still needs just a whiff of Starry Firefly. As I recall, you can only find these at night in Skyloft and a few other areas around the sky. And they're quite rare.

^?Master [Link]... Observe. The green pillar before you is a column of light. It marks the point at which you can descend to the surface.

^?You can confirm your current location on the map. Please see where you are in relation to Skyloft.

^?It appears that you will be able to reach the surface by passing through the portal in the clouds at the column's base.

^?Master, I have an update regarding the stone tablet and the resulting column of light it created.

A column of light has appeared to the south of our location, and signs indicate that it has created an opening in the cloud barrier to the land below.

^?I must also caution you that descending to the surface armed only with a sword would result in a decreased probability of survival. If you have not already done so, I advise you to purchase a shield and potions at the bazaar in preparation for your journey.

^?Another subject to discuss, Master...

Once you are accustomed to the controls, you are free to modify the on-screen interface.

On the Gear Screen, select Interface to change the on-screen display to suit your preferences.

^?Master, the column of light is visible from here.

^?Dive off a ledge and call your Loftwing from here, where you can see the column of light.

^?It is time for you to set out on your search for Zelda. You can call your Loftwing with [d-pad down] after you dive off.

^?Master [Link], I suggest you imbue that crest with the power of your Skyward Strike and then insert the tablet I gave you a moment ago. To gather energy from the heavens and charge up a Skyward Strike, point your sword skyward.

^?I am known as Fi... Please step up to the pedestal and draw the sword.

^?Master [Link], please insert the stone tablet you recently acquired into the altar.

^?Master [Link]...

When you hit that Goddess Cube with a Skyward Strike earlier, I was able to detect a resulting energy reaction above the clouds.

^?The location I have marked on your map indicates the spot where I sensed an energy reaction.

^?I advise you to investigate the area around this location.

^?A seedling planted here would require several thousand years to mature. I would suggest not planting one at this location.

^?A report, Master.

Due to your sword's enhancements, it is now possible to use your dowsing ability to detect feelings of gratitude.

I have added Gratitude Crystals to your list of dowsing targets.

^?A report, Master.

Due to your sword's enhancements, it is now possible to use your dowsing ability to detect feelings of gratitude.

I have added Gratitude Crystals to your list of dowsing targets.

^?However, I sense that you have already gathered all of the gratitude possible, Master. Congratulations.

^?A report, Master.

Analysis indicates Loftwings cannot fly at night. Please return to your bed and rest, then depart during the day.

^?A report, Master.

I have determined that there is a Trial Gate somewhere among these floating islands that can be opened by the Song of the Hero. I suggest you use your dowsing ability to locate it.

^?Congratulations, Master.

You have passed all of the trials.

^?The Stone of Trials you just obtained is actually one of a pair, Master.

Another similar object with a mark just like the one you hold exists somewhere on this island.

Combining the two should open the way to the Triforce.

I suggest that you search for that matching stone.

^?Master [Link], I have memories of this island.

It is known as the Isle of Songs. Signs indicate that it was left here for you by the goddess, Master.

However, I am unable to determine a means of entering the structure ahead. I suggest you investigate the area.

^?Master, I have confirmed the location of a second opening in the cloud barrier. It is located in the skies to the northeast. This opening will allow you to access a new area on the surface. I suggest you fly there as soon as you complete necessary preparations.

^?I've confirmed the location of a third opening in the cloud barrier in the sky to the southwest.

It will allow you to reach a new area on the surface. I suggest going there as soon as you are suitably prepared.

^?Master [Link]...

It will be necessary for you to learn how to execute the Spiral Charge maneuver in order to rid Levias of his blight. Owlan is currently waiting near the bird statue in the northeastern part of Skyloft. I suggest you go there to speak with him.

^?Master [Link]...

This treasure-chest-like object is a relic of ancient times, left by the goddess for her chosen hero.

^?However, I lack any information on how it can be opened at this time.

^?It would appear that each chest responds to the energy released when a specific Goddess Cube is launched skyward, releasing its lock mechanism. Search for Goddess Cubes in the lands below and send them into the air. It is the only way to open these chests.

^?So what are you up to? Rushing to get some last-minute bird-riding practice in this morning, [Link]?

Oh? You have someone to meet? Ah, Zelda's waiting for you, is she?

^?Perfect timing, then!

You see, Zelda's father--Headmaster Gaepora--has a pet named Mia, and, well...she's scampered off again.

^?Look! Over there! Do you see her?

The headmaster is so busy working with Zelda preparing for the ceremony...

I thought that maybe I should feed her, but the ceremony is about to start and I just put on a fresh set of clothes and, well...you see... Will you help me out and go retrieve Mia for me?

I'm on it!

I'm busy...

^?Ah, I see...

Can you please tell the headmaster that Instructor Horwell has found Mia and that he shouldn't worry?

^?Fantastic! So you'll do it?! I know you're in a hurry, so I really appreciate your taking the time to help.

^?You should be able to climb up somewhere over there. If you hang off that ledge there, you can climb onto the roof from the other side. I'm terribly sorry, but I know you're quite the climber! I really do appreciate it.

^?So will you help by finding Mia and bringing her back to me?

Sure!

Nah.

^?Ahhh, I'm so glad Mia is safe.

Such an odd creature, the Remlit. She may look cuddly now, but at night, it's another story entirely!

Why?

At night?

^?Hmm... You don't know what happens to Remlits at night?

It's frightening, really...

^?When night falls here in Skyloft, creatures like this Remlit become possessed by an evil force.

And monsters that hide in caves during the day make their way out and prowl in the dark of night.

That is why nobody dares to leave their home at night. Certainly not if they can avoid it.

It might be fine for youngsters like you, well trained in the way of the knight. You can defend yourself!

But still, it would be wise to keep your guard up when you're out and about after dark!

^?What is it, [Link]?

^?If you dash at the wall from there, you'll be able to hang from the edge!

Do be careful when you're hanging off the ledge, and keep an eye on your stamina gauge.

^?Nice work! You've brought her back safe and sound!

Sorry for troubling you with this. I know you're busy, [Link]! I suppose I should feed Mia now...

^?Please tell the headmaster that we found his pet. He should be up by the Statue of the Goddess.

^?I believe Zelda is there with him, so you should hurry along.

^?What's wrong, [Link]? You're looking a little pale...

What?! Your Loftwing is missing?! How strange and troubling. Do you...think you can find him?

You're going to start looking for him now?! How will you make it back in time to fly in the ceremony?!

It looks like your participation in the ceremony hinges on feather or not you can find that bird on time...

Ahem. Excuse me...

^?I'll see what I can do about the ceremony. You go hurry and find your bird!

^?I see... So the headmaster has summoned me?

All right then, I'll go speak with him immediately.

I still owe you for helping me out earlier, so don't worry about the ceremony for now. You focus on finding your Loftwing!

^?Maybe that's life's way of getting back at you for not listening to your instructors...

Anyway, never mind that... So you say the headmaster is summoning me?

In that case, don't you worry about the ceremony. Just go find that bird of yours!

^?Hey, [Link]!

^?I don't care how good a jumper you think you are. You'll never reach a roof that high just pressing [A] to dash.

^?There should be a wooden box up there. Grab and move one with [A], and use it as a platform of sorts.

You can climb onto a platform by pressing [A] to dash or by pressing [control stick up] for a few moments.

^?Your attention, please. At last we are ready to begin the Wing Ceremony.

I was beginning to worry that we'd have to proceed without [Link], but luckily that is no longer a concern.

I'm glad you could all make it. Before we start, I'll explain the rules for today's competition.

^?I have attached a small statuette to this bird, who I will then release to the skies.

On my signal, press [A] to dash and dive off the ledge. Once you are in the air, mount your Loftwing.

Remember to call your bird promptly with [d-pad down] once you dive off the edge.

Whoever catches the bird and claims the statuette with [A] will be this year's champion.

Those are the rules. Simple enough, I should think, but do you need to hear them again?

Nope!

Again!

^?Excellent.

As you well know, today's champion will graduate to the next class, bringing him one step closer to knighthood.

He will also receive a gift from the young woman chosen to play the role of the goddess in this year's ritual.

Today is a special day for many reasons, but it is also the 25th anniversary of our fine institution.

To celebrate the occasion, today's champion shall also receive his gift high atop the Statue of the Goddess.

I hear the young woman performing the role of the goddess this year has crafted the gift herself.

And as you all well know, the role of the goddess this year will be performed by...

^?Excellent. Now at last we are ready to begin the Wing Ceremony.

Before we start, I'll explain the rules for today's competition.

^?I have attached a small statuette to this bird, who I will then release to the skies.

On my signal, press [A] to dash and dive off the ledge, then call your bird with [d-pad down].

Whoever catches the bird and claims the statuette with [A] will be this year's champion.

Those are the rules. Simple enough, I should think, but do you need to hear them again?

Nope!

Again!

^?Excellent.

As you know, today's champion will receive a gift honoring his prowess from none other than...

^?Very well... But listen close this time!

^?Let's see your finest flying out there. Show me just how hard you've been practicing.

Also, I want to see good, clean flying. Anyone caught interfering with other riders will answer to me!

^?What are you doing? Dash off the ledge with [A], dive down, and get on your bird!

Remember, you'll need to press [d-pad down] to call your bird!

^?All right, gentlemen, line up. At my command, the competition will begin!

^?The lovely Zelda!

^?That goes double for you, Groose!

^?Go!

^?Hey, [Link]! Up here!

^?You should be able to climb up if you dash up to the top of that wooden box, don't you think?

Move while holding [A] to dash. You should be able to make that jump fairly easily!

Try climbing up here!

^?Good morning to you, [Link]! Today's finally the day of the long-awaited Wing Ceremony! Are you feeling ready? Oh, I just remembered. There's something I'd like to ask you about.

Look this way while pressing and holding [Z], then press [A] to have a quick chat with me.

^?Good morning to you, [Link]! I'm impressed with your decision to test your resolve in Hero Mode! Oh, but today's the day of the long- awaited Wing Ceremony!

Are you feeling ready? There's something I'd like to talk to you about.

Look this way while pressing and holding [Z], then press [A] to have a quick chat with me.

^?Excellent! Always remember you can press [Z] to target something.

Once you have targeted someone with [Z], you can easily talk to him or her by pressing [A].

And even when there isn't anything to target, pressing [Z] is a convenient way to quickly face your view forward.

Oh, but it's a little silly to carry on a conversation from this distance. Why don't you come join me up here?

^?Right, right. Use [Z] to target something in the direction you're facing.

You're looking at me like you already know all this. There's no harm in reviewing the basics, you know.

In Hero Mode...you'll lose hearts twice as fast, so it's doubly important to know how to effectively [Z] target.

It's a little silly to carry on a conversation from this distance. Why don't you come join me up here?

^?What are you waiting for?! Listen to your instructor for once!

^?You can't just ignore your instructor like this, [Link]!

Look over here and press [Z] to target me, then press [A] to talk.

^?So what do you think? Using [A] to dash is useful, isn't it?

However, don't dash around so much that you tire yourself out, or your stamina gauge will empty and you'll be completely out of breath. It's best to take a little break when your stamina gauge gets close to empty.

Got all that? On to the next point...

You can jump a short distance like this just by moving toward it. I like to call it the autojump. Ahh, yes, autojump... It just has a nice ring to it.

^?Yes. It looks like you've mastered dashing with [A]. Just remember, if you overdo it, your stamina gauge will run out and you'll be huffing and puffing. All right, then. You know what to do next, right?

Tell me!

I know.

^?You can easily jump a distance like that just by jogging along toward it. You'll autojump right across.

Autojump... No matter how many times I say it, I never get tired of hearing it! A name for the ages, surely.

^?I see. Well then, come on over here quickly!

^?[Link]!

You still don't get it?!

^?Ah, [Link]. How goes your search for Zelda? Have you found her yet?

What? Levias? Ah, so you've been talking to the headmaster, I take it?

If I'm correct, Levias is the one inside the thunderhead. But...that's not the Levias that we all know.

That's...a monster!

It certainly looks like Levias, but last time I approached him, he came rushing at me! And his eyes... They were full of malice. People change... Or old, wizened creatures change, rather. Perhaps it's more that...he is possessed by something. That's how it felt to me.

^?What? You want to talk to Levias?

That's...impossible. I don't think Levias is capable of listening. Not in his current state, no.

And...even if you were to get close enough to talk to him, it will likely end with you getting brushed aside and sent flying to your death in a sea of clouds.

^?Ah, [Link]! How's your search for Zelda going?

Sorry for leaving it all up to you. I know you must be doing everything you can to find her.

^?What? You're still planning on going?

I see... It's because you need to find Zelda.

I understand... I get the feeling nothing I could say would talk you out of it.

^?Hey! I have an idea. Come with me!

^?Oh, hello, [Link]! Hmm? The Triforce?

Sorry, I can't say I know what that is! Perhaps you should ask the headmaster?

^?Levias is inside the thunderhead. He's been acting so strangely... Like something has possessed him.

If we can somehow free him from whatever it is that has a hold over him, then there's a chance he will return to his senses. Listen well, [Link], because I'm about to teach you a very powerful bird-riding technique.

It's called the Spiral Charge!

^?Using the Spiral Charge, you can rid Levias of the blight that has hold of him!

The technique is quite easy to perform. All you have to do is press [A].

However, the acceleration effect lasts longer than any attack move you've used so far. Maintaining stable flight can be tricky. This is a technique that only senior Knight Academy students who have mastered high-level flight skills are allowed to perform. It's still a bit too early for you, but... This is an extraordinary circumstance, so I'll make an exception this time. However, I will test you.

^?First, dive off this platform and call your bird.

^?Hey, [Link]. The day of the Wing Ceremony is finally upon us!

It's time to put what you've learned to use... All those practical skills I taught you, and all the academic prowess Instructor Horwell taught you! While we're at it, do you remember how to look around using [C]?

Press [C] when you want to take a look at your surroundings!

If you feel as though the cursor has moved out of alignment, point the Wii Remote at the screen and press [d-pad down] to easily rectify the situation.

^?What's wrong, [Link]? Your bird won't come to you when you call it?

For a Loftwing to ignore its master's call...something must be very wrong...

Have you talked to Instructor Horwell about this? He's leading today's ceremony and should be made aware of what's going on! I see... Well, if the headmaster is aware of the situation, then I'm sure he'll delay the ceremony for you.

You just worry about finding that bird of yours!

^?What happened to Zelda...it's just terrible.

But there's no point in your kicking yourself about it. It was an accident...

^?Leave the ceremony to us. You just focus on finding your bird as quickly as you can.

^?That reminds me... You always seem to confuse Instructor Horwell and me!

I am Owlan, of course. I have white hair, and I teach practical skills. Instructor Horwell has brown hair, and he teaches academics. Don't forget it!

^?I heard the news, [Link]! Zelda's fallen down through the clouds, and you're going to look for her. Is that right? The headmaster told me there's land beneath the clouds... Do you know anything about that?

^?So that's the famous sword... Ah, but it won't do you much good if you don't have a shield to protect yourself with!

Here--take this with you!

^?So that's the famous sword... Ah, but it won't do you much good if you don't have a shield to protect yourself with!

Unfortunately, you don't seem to have space to carry any other items. Here, take this instead. Consider it a little gift from your friend and teacher.

^?The Wooden Shield is light and maneuverable, but it's the weakest of all the shields. Also, keep in mind that it's particularly vulnerable to fire. If it breaks, you can buy a new one at the bazaar.

To equip the shield, hold [-] and point at it with the Wii Remote.

^?Take good care of yourself, and best of luck in your search for Zelda!

^?How goes your search for Zelda?

Remember to find a bed and sleep if you start getting tired. A quick nap can restore your hearts and refresh your mind to explore after dark.

^?Could there truly be a world below the clouds?

Should it even exist, I imagine its terrain to be the exact opposite of our lush green world. It's probably nothing but dust and rock...

^?So that's the famous sword... Ah, and a shield... It looks like you have one already. Very good!

Here--take this as a little gift from me.

^?If you're not sure how to use a shield, Knight Commander Eagus at the Sparring Hall will happily teach you.

^?Oh! You managed to destroy 10 targets within the time limit!

If you can control your bird that well, you'll have no problems at all! I knew you could do it, [Link]. And what a magnificent red bird... You are henceforth permitted to use the Spiral Charge attack as a qualified bird rider!

^?The next thing we have to address is just how to go about finding Levias.

Maybe the owner of the Lumpy Pumpkin might know something. Every year he makes an offering of his pumpkin soup for Levias. Go to the Lumpy Pumpkin and ask him what he knows!

^?If you can't destroy 10 targets in under 120 seconds, I can't in good conscience give you permission to use this dangerous technique. I'll be here for a while, so why don't you take a break and cool off? Come talk to me when you want to try again.

^?What's wrong?! Hurry up and dive off the platform! Are you having second thoughts?

I'll do it!

I quit.

^?The Lumpy Pumpkin is a little gathering spot on an oblong island to the southeast of Skyloft.

The owner's daughter, Kina, works there. She has the most lovely voice.

I'm also...a fan of hers. But you don't need to tell anyone else about that, do you?

^?Hey, [Link]! Want to try some Spiral Charge training?

Yep!

Later.

^?Excellent. That's what I want to hear! Well then, dive off this platform.

^?I think it's fine to wait until you feel ready!

I'll be here for a while. Come back anytime!

^?Ah! That's the answer I was looking for. Take to the skies, [Link]!

^?Hey, [Link]! Where do you think you're going? This is a competition! Dive off the platform!

^?It's dangerous to be out at night. Yes, best to avoid it entirely!

Even the headmaster's darling Mia turns quite feral when night falls... A mysterious energy settles over Skyloft with the darkness.

^?I keep my distance from Mia at night.

There was that one time when she snuck into the academy after nightfall.

I recommend that you be extra careful when you go out at night. Oh dear... That caused quite the commotion.

^?Look, [Link]! Though night has come, Mia exhibits none of the nocturnal aggressiveness we've come to expect in Remlits! It's just amazing!

^?This gives me pause... The monsters that usually prowl Skyloft at night are nowhere to be seen, and the Remlits no longer show aggressive behavior. What could have happened?

^?[Link]! Where are you headed?

Dive off this platform and call your Loftwing!

^?Ah, [Link]! You'd like a lesson from me, even at a time like this?

Please!

No...

^?I... I see. Well, classes are canceled today due to the Wing Ceremony!

Don't you think you'd better head outside and get ready for the ceremony?

^?Well, well! Such enthusiasm!

Allow me tell you about the history of Skyloft!

Skyloft is an island that has floated here for ages... Thousands of years.

Our ancestors have always lived on this island, as well as the surrounding islands in the sky.

There is an impenetrable barrier of clouds below Skyloft. Nobody who has fallen down through the clouds has ever been seen again. They say there is a vast expanse of pure nothingness beneath the clouds!

Ah, but that's a good place to leave it today. You'd better go prepare for the Wing Ceremony.

^?Hey now! That's my seat that you've perched yourself on. Students must sit in the student seating!

^?Lately I've been taking care of Mia for the headmaster...

It's dangerous having her around. She's so adorable that I'm starting to think I need one of my own!

^?I must admit I'm starting to think I might need to get a Remlit of my own. The Triforce?! What's that? Does it have anything to do with little Mia?

^?Levias?! I've heard rumors about what's been going on out there, but little more.

I'm afraid I lack sufficient knowledge on this subject to be of help to you.

Go speak with the head of physical training, Instructor Owlan. I'm sure he can teach you more about this particular topic!

^?It seems every time I bump into you, you appear stronger and somehow more confident. Whatever you're doing, keep it up, [Link].

^?While her statue may be gone, the goddess is still with us, for she lives on in our hearts. Don't you agree, [Link]?

^?The ceremony won't start until you have found your Loftwing.

Don't worry about anything else. Just hurry up and find your bird!

^?The start of the Wing Ceremony is being delayed until you find your Loftwing. Good news, isn't it?

^?You aren't allowed to ride your birds at night, so I'm afraid you won't be able to search for Zelda then, either.

For tonight, I suggest you go to bed and get some rest. You can start your quest tomorrow.

You won't make smart decisions if you don't take the time to rest your mind and body.

^?Well, [Link]... Are you close to finding Zelda?

Don't give up! I believe if anyone can find Zelda, it's you.

^?[Link]... What are you doing out at this hour?

What's all this about Levias? Listen, this isn't something I want to talk about at this hour...

Come back tomorrow morning. I'll tell you everything I know then.

^?The Spiral Charge is a stressful maneuver for most any Loftwing to pull off.

But you and that red bird of yours... I'll bet you can handle it without a sweat!

^?How are things, [Link]?! Is everything going well?

If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to come talk to me. I am your instructor, after all!

^?Hey, [Link]! What exactly do you think you're doing ignoring your instructor and just walking by like that? Come over here and listen to what your instructor has to say!

^?Hey now, [Link]! Now is certainly not the time for that.

Hurry and find your Loftwing! You should talk to the students inside the academy. Perhaps they know something?

^?Hey, [Link]! What do you think you're doing slinking by your instructors like that?!

Come here for a moment.

^?Listen up, [Link]!

I taught your Loftwing to perform a Spiral Charge when you press [A].

^?Press [A] to Spiral Charge and break the 10 targets placed around the floating boulders up ahead.

^?If you can destroy 10 targets in under 120 seconds, I will recognize you as a skilled bird rider.

^?All right! Off you go!

109-TakeGoron.msbt

^?How's it goin', [Link]? Good to see you again!

How's that slicin' arm feel? Ready to slay some bamboo? It's only 10 Rupees a shot!

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?Tell me somethin', [Link]! Did you find that dirty rotten egg burglar who's been botherin' my baby girl? Or are you here to buff up your sword arm with a little bamboo slice 'n' dice? It's only 10 Rupees a round!

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?I want the custard-bellied coward who broke my baby girl's heart. It's drivin' me crazy!

Times like this, a man just wants to chop bamboo! You want to give it a whack? It'll cost you 10 Rupees.

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?How you doing, [Link]! Looks like that mangy milquetoast's stopped pesterin' my little dumplin'.

Let's celebrate by butcherin' some bamboo! One try will cost you 10 Rupees. What do you say?

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?You want to try again? Need to blow off steam by mowin' down a tower of bamboo? It'll only cost you 10 Rupees!

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?All right, then. Get to slicin'!

^?You have got to be pullin' my leg. I told you there's a prize on the table! You think I'll do that just for popularity's sake? How am I going to put food on my table if I let you play for free? If my family could eat popularity, they'd be stuffed full all the time. But they can't! What do you say? One try will cost you 10 Rupees. You up for a challenge?

I'm in!

No, thanks.

^?What's the problem? You don't have enough Rupees? Don't worry about it-- I'll let you play for free!

Bahaha! You actually believed me for a second there, didn't you? That's the problem with you kids, always thinkin' you're gettin' somethin' for nothin'! You could learn a little somethin' about reality from my little pumpkin. Now there's a gal with a head on her shoulders, believe you me!

^?You're goin' to take a swing at whittlin' down that big old bamboo right there in the middle of the room.

Thing is, see, it's a contest to see how many cuts you can make before it hits the ground. If you're good enough, you'll stroll out of here with a prize!

You bet!

Not free?

^?I got it. You're afraid of sharp objects. Not the slicin' type. Come on back if you change your mind!

^?Whoa! Is that you, [Link]? Never thought I'd run into you here.

What is this place?

Who are you?

^?Whoa! Is that you, [Link]? Never thought I'd run into you here.

^?This here's my secret spot where I come to work the kinks out of my sword arm.

There was a time I was the most popular guy in all of Skyloft. Folks were always cheerin' me on like it was a parade. But as you know, time passes. And I'm not the young buck I used to be. I eat when I get stressed, and I'm worried about my darlin' daughter all the time! I mean, look at this belly! So that's what drives a feller here to chop some bamboo! Let me tell you, there's no better way to sweat off those pounds. Here's an idea, [Link]. Why don't you try slicin' some bamboo?

Sure!

I'll pass.

^?What? You tellin' me you don't know who I am? Believe it or not, I used to be the most popular guy in the sky! Mr. Skyloft, that was me. But...you might relate better if I told you I was the proud father of Skyloft's most popular girl: Peatrice, princess of the Item Check. How's that? Does that clear anything up for you, young feller? Ha ha ha ha!

^?What? You tellin' me you don't know who I am? Believe it or not, I used to be the most popular guy in the sky! Mr. Skyloft, that was me. But...you might relate better if I told you I was the proud father of Skyloft's most popular girl: Peatrice, princess of the Item Check. How's that? Does that clear anything up for you, young feller? Ha ha ha ha!

^?That's the spirit! Chop away, boy!

Hold up a second! Get your horses holded. There's got to be a way to spice things up a notch or three. Hmm... Yep. That's the ticket right there!

^?You kiddin' me? Girls don't want to hit the town with a wet blanket, son.

Not that I want you anywhere near my little cupcake. No, sir! You lay a finger on her, and you'll have to buy new gloves.

^?Aha! So you're rarin' to go, right?

You bet!

I'll pass.

^?Your current high score is #! You're going to need your A-game to top that!

^?So, what's it gonna be? Want to hack some bamboo? One try will cost you 10 Rupees.

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?Come on back whenever you feel like you might want to chisel up that sword arm!

^?You're not lightin' any records on fire with that score, son. You got to get at least 15 cuts!

Sharpen up your concentration! There's no prize for sloppy slicin'.

^?Well, you got miles to go, but I'll give you something for the effort. Here's 30 Rupees.

^?Next time around, shoot for 20 cuts.

^?Hoo-wee! That's what I'm talking about! You really brutalized that bamboo, boy. Here's your prize!

^?I want to see you do 28 chops next time!

^?That is one humding-alinger of a score! I only reached that number a few times myself. Here's your prize!

^?Hoo-wee! A new record. Way to go, kid!

^?Hold up, son, you're all done!

Let's count those cuts. Your score this time is #!

^?Well, look at that. Now that I take a gander at the thing, it's clear you got yourself a stubby little sword. You did mighty well considering that. See, the longer the sword you got, the easier it is to zip through that bamboo like a loaf of warm butter!

If you get yourself a longer blade in the future, come back and try again. You'll be surprised what a little extra steel can do for your chopping score!

^?What seems to be the problem? Time's up!

^?Listen up, pal. I don't want you gettin' too familiar with my little rainbow. And you'd better keep your eyes to yourself too, if you know what I mean.

^?Thanks for stopping by. Welcome to the home of Skyloft's most popular father-and-daughter dream team.

^?Howdy, [Link]. You picked a good time to visit.

Why?

Daughter?

^?What do you mean "why"? This is important! My little girl's in trouble!

^?Sure enough is. You're as smart as a bullwhip, aren't you?

^?Yep, the shinin' star of the Item Check is the source of my problem. That's my darlin' daughter, in case you forgot.

She's been out of sorts lately. She'll be sittin' and starin' off into yonder, and then she'll get redder than a tomato on the vine. Wait just a gosh-darn minute! I know what's going on! My sunshine's got herself an unwanted admirer!

Not that I can blame the feller. She's as sweet as honey and twice as pretty as a spring flower! Nope--three times as pretty! It's no wonder the boys buzz around her like a swarm of amorous bees.

^?But I won't stand for it! No way. No how! I'm going to find the rascal and give him a good whuppin'!

You got to help me out. You see anyone buzzin' around my little flower, you give him what for and send him packin'. I'll keep my peepers peeled too, but I can't stand watch all day long.

I promise I'll make it worth your while. You chase the varmint off, and I'll let you chat with the apple of my eye.

^?Hush! You don't have to say a word. I can see how you feel by the spark in your eye.

There's not a feller alive who wouldn't jump at this chance!

Ease this old man's heart, and get rid of the lowlife who's pesterin' my baby girl. I'm countin' on you, [Link]!

^?Howdy, [Link]! I was hoping I'd run into you.

Why?

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?I'm countin' on you, [Link]! Get rid of the lowlife who's been pesterin' my baby girl, and ease this old man's heart!

^?That you, [Link]? What seems to be the problem?

My baby girl's as restless as a twisted sheet in the wind. Is there somethin' in the water?

^?Bamboo slivers! My darlin' daughter's got herself a feller, [Link]!

Oh...who could it be? Who's the scamp who's stolen my muffin's heart?

And you, [Link]! Why did I ever put my trust in you? Any more brains and I'd be as smart as a tree stump. Oh my goodness gracious... What am I supposed to do now?

^?Bamboo slivers! My darlin' daughter's got herself a feller, [Link]!

I'm in!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?Bamboo slivers! Who's the rascal who's gone and stolen my baby girl's heart?

Oh...I knew this day had to come, but...

^?Hey, [Link]! Have I got news for you!

My sweetie daughter's given her good-for-nothin' feller the boot!

Of course, I feel for her. I hate to see her blue and all, but...

I'm pleased as punch the egg-swipin' scamp's out of the picture!

Tell me true, [Link]. Are you responsible for breakin' them up? Never mind! It makes no difference to me. I'm as happy as a Loftwing in an updraft. I truly am.

I know she's as irresistible as a cool glass of lemonade on a sweaty day, but I won't stand for it. You hear me, son?

110-DiviningGame.msbt

^?Heyyyyy, then! Let me tell you all about the rules!

First thing you need to know is you'll be shot out of a CANNON! You'll fly waaaaay up there. Don't cry, little boy--it's perfectly, mostly safe! Your goal is to dive onto a cheery, colorful rotating board. Land on a happy, little colored space, and you'll win Rupees based on the color. BUT! If you land on the gray space-- I call that the LOSER SPACE--then I get to reach in and take a handful of your Rupees! Isn't that FUN?! You can risk everything to win big here at Fun Fun Island, but it's a game of luck so, uh...don't come crying to me if you land on the loser space! HAWHAW!

^?When you're diving, superfun Fortune Rings and Dodoh Balls will appear like MAGIC!

If you can pass through one of those Fortune Rings, you'll increase the awesome Rupee score multiplier! OOOOOoooh! And the more rings you pass through, the slower the wheel will spin, making it easier to land on your target and WIN! But hitting one of those Dodoh Balls will reset your multiplier and turn your smile upside down!

Oh, and you can't use your Sailcloth while you're diving. Did you get all that, little guy?

^?Sounds like FUN, right?! Want to give it a try?!

Sure!

Maybe later.

^?RIGHTO! There's a brave little guy! Once you're ready, hop into the cannon in the center of the island and plug your ears! I'll prepare the cannon!

^?You joyful little man, I owe you everything for finding my wheel!

And my dream of creating my very own, VERY SMILEY Fun Fun Island has been realized for all to enjoy and laugh about and laugh at! Normally I'd charge 20 Rupees to play, but since I owe you, I'll let you play your first game for free! FREE is so much more fun than PAY!

^?OOOOOooh! What's this?! This little boy's a scaredy-bird?! Is he scared of the widdle cannon?

^?You don't have enough Rupees. I can't help you have FUN if you can't help me get rich, little boy!

Come back when you've got the 20 Rupees, and we'll try this again!

^?YAHAWWWWW! The boy is BACK! How about a little skydiving? I'm just itching to shoot YOU out of a cannon!

Oh, but you're going to have to pay this time. It'll be 20 Rupees. Well?!

I'm in!

Rules, please.

No way.

^?Want to play again, little guy?! OOOoooooooh, you're hooked!

It'll be 20 Rupees. What do you say?

Yes!

Rules, please.

No way.

^?YAHOOOEY! Step right up, young man! Feel like taking a little dive?

As my way of saying thanks for finding my party wheel, your first blast is on the house! It's FUN for FREE!

Yes!

Rules, please.

No, thanks.

^?Want me to explain the rules one more time? I know it's awfully complicated for a fun little guy like you!

OK...

Nah.

^?OOOOOoooooh! Too bad, sooooo SAD. You landed on a Loser Space.

That means I snag a grand Rupee total of #! Heeeeheeee!

^?Oh gee, look at this! How SAD. You've earned yourself a fun, imaginary stack of 0 Rupees. Don't give up, little guy! Come see me again real soon!

^?WHOA-HO-HO! Look at this nice little space you landed on!

So you landed on a #-Rupee spot, and your multiplier is #! That means you walk away with a grand Rupee total of #!

^?WHOOOPIDDY DOO! You landed on a 50-Rupee space!

Your multiplier is #, so that means you win # Rupees! Wowza!

^?You passed through all of the Fortune Rings! Guess which little guy gets a special prize! Go on, GUESS!

^?Here's your big bag o' winnings...

1. Rupees!

^?I've got a special prize for special people who can pass through five rings without touching a Dodoh Ball...and then land on a 50-Rupee space! Here's hoping you've got the stomach to give Dodoh's High Dive another whirl!

^?Hurry up and jump into the cannon!

^?YAHOOOEY! Step right up, boy!

Oh. I bet you're wondering what I'm doing here...

A little.

Nah.

^?Well, that's not fun at all.

I'm doing everything I can to make people's dreams come true...

^?Just the answer I was looking for! What a smart little guy you are!

I'm hoping to make this island a FUN place where everyone can come and be happy...

What's it called, you ask? Or even if you didn't ask? I call it... FUN FUN ISLAND!

I'm still getting the place set up, so hopefully you'll visit again later! You might like what you find! Especially if you like FUN and COLORS!

^?FUN FUN ISLAND! Smells like fun and danger already, doesn't it?! I'm still getting the place ready, but I hope you'll come visit again later!

^?Urggggggh... My superwacky party wheel of fun fell off the island, way down below the clouds...

Without that, there's just no way... The dream of fun is dead. I can't bring myself to do anything without it. The laughter has turned to tears.

^?Urrrrrghhh... What am I going to do?! It's no use! It's all over...

What's wrong?

Uh...

^?Oh...it's nothing, really. I don't want to bother you with my shattered dream.

It was just a silly decoration I used to pin on to my back, but still... It was MY silly decoration...

I'll find it!

It's gone.

^?Without it, I can't help make people happy. The smile factory is shut down.

You know...but what can I do?

^?You see, the party wheel that I pinned to my back flew off the island and fell down somewhere below the clouds. Without my party wheel, there's just no way I can make this island a place where people come to have fun!

What can I do? It fell down below the clouds, so I guess I should just give up on it.

Look for it!

Give up.

^?How am I supposed to go get something that fell below the clouds? That's impossible!

^?Ugh... It would be so amazing if someone were to find it. Just think of the smiles on the children's faces...

I'm not getting my hopes up, though...

^?Hello there, young man. You think you can find my party wheel?

No? I didn't think so...

^?IS THIS...?! IS THIS...?!?!

IT IS! IT IS!

^?YAHOOOOOOOEY! My party wheel!

^?Thank you SO MUCH! Now I can realize my dream of opening Fun Fun Island!

WOOOYAH! I'M SO HAPPY!

^?And I'll let you be my first customer, young man! Thank you so much! It's going to be so much FUN!

^?Here's your wheel thing, bzzzrrrt!

^?Gaze into my eyes... Stare deeply into my eyes... These eyes see many things. Oh yes, these lovely, round eyes can even see...into the future! Allow me to tell your fortune, boy! Do you doubt these eyes? I look upon your shirt, boy, and I see a single thread loose on your sleeve stitching! Nothing can hide from these eyes! Normally, I seek 10 Rupees to tell a fortune, but this time I will charge but 1 Rupee. So do you want me to tell your fortune? Do you dare discover what fate these eyes see? Only 1 Rupee!

OK.

Maybe later.

^?I'm hurt! Is this how you respond to kindness?

Don't you trust these big, round, all-seeing eyes? I might not look on you so favorably next time. Are you sure you don't want your fortune told?

Actually...

No, thanks.

^?You are stubborn...but I saw that from across the room. I can also see on your face that you don't believe in fortune-telling. Getting your fortune told will aid you on your path... Aren't you curious about what these large, dewy eyes will behold?

OK, OK.

No!

^?Yessssss! I knew it! Aha... What a treat! You are the first customer I've had in a while!

Oh... I mean, I'm the best at what I do! You can trust these glistening eyes!

^?Hm... Peering into your eyes, I see you are a disbeliever. Don't come crying to me later, asking for my help when you find yourself lost... Hmph!

^?Magnificent! Come closer, then! Let us see what I can...see!

^?What? I just told you what your fortune was. I described everything I saw in detail! Didn't you hear me the first time?! Fine. Fine... I'll tell you one more time, so listen up! And don't think I can't see when you're not paying attention.

^?You there! I see you, yes! Come, allow me to foresee your own fortune. It'll cost just 10 Rupees to light the way along your cloudy path ahead. Do you hunger to know what these big, lovely eyes will behold? Shall I begin? It'll cost but 10 Rupees.

Please!

No, thanks.

^?Fine. Fine. I know the time will come when you wish these round, stupendous eyes could see your fortune! But don't come running to me!

^?Ahaaaaaaaaaa. I see many things... All is revealed...

^?But what's this?! I see you don't carry even a single Rupee in your shriveled wallet. These tantalizing eyes do not work for free!

^?But what's this, young man?! I've just had a vision, and it's telling me you don't have the money to pay me for my amazing services! You surely aren't asking me, with my unfathomable, all-seeing eyes, to tell your fortune for free, are you?!

^?But what's this, young man?! I see you have no money at all!

Look into these steely, unflinching eyes and you will see that no amount of pleading will get me to lower my price. Return with money!

^?That's all I can see for the moment... My eyes, they grow weary. Come see me again if you should lose your way.

^?Good luck, young man!

^?So, what information do you seek? What is it that you want to know?

Where to next?

Treasure!

^?Very well. Let me see what I can see! Yesssss... Your fortune...it's all coming into focus now...

^?What's this...? What is it that my eyes behold?!

Oh, young man, what calamitous visions appear before me...

You may choose not to believe me, but my eyes foresee a hazardous, thorny road ahead for you...

But I can foresee what will befall you, for I am a fortune-teller!

Trust my piercing eyes... Listen to my pure and innocent voice.

I will do you no harm. Gaze deeply into my eyes and come closer!

^?Yesssss... Treasure, eh? You wish for me to gaze into my crystal ball and foresee treasure. I must confess, I know little about treasure... Ah well. I guess I can give it a shot.

^?Yesss... A towering forest... Sandy dunes... A blazing mountain... Monsters... These are the sources of treasure that I foresee. Which source of treasure do you want to hear about?

Forest.

Dunes.

Mountain.

Monsters.

^?Yesss... I see a towering forest... Treasures often found in these great woods are Bird Feathers and Hornet Larvae... I see you finding a Bird Feather by catching a small bird in your net!

And Hornet Larvae... Oh yesss, you will find them by knocking down hives!

Among all the small bird feathers, I see one that is highly prized! Yesss, the Blue Bird Feather... It is said to bring happiness! If you see one, young man, you are very fortunate!

^?The land of sands, eh... In the land of sands, I see you will find Tumbleweeds. Yessss... And something called an Ancient Flower. To catch a Tumbleweed, I foresee you swinging a net quickly just as one rolls across your path.

As the name suggests, I see you can pick an Ancient Flower only by traveling back to ancient times.

^?Smoldering and sulfurous...yesss... I see a blazing mountain! There you will find...

Lizard Tails and something called Eldin Ore! I see it now...

Eldin Ore can sometimes be found by digging in the ground, yess... I see dirt in your future...

Lizard Tails... I see you claiming this treasure by defeating horrifying lizard-like creatures. This vision... It will haunt my dreams!

^?Monsters. I see monsters... When you defeat a monster, you will often find one of these...

A Monster Claw, Ornamental Skull, Jelly Blob, or Monster Horn...

Monster Claws come from monsters that flutter and flap in the air!

Ornamental Skulls come from human- looking monsters. They are disgusting to behold!

Jelly Blobs come from soft-looking monsters. Oh, how they ooze...

^?And Monster Horns come from the monsters who carry them. You can claim them for yourself by using some sort of tool to snatch them away. Evil Crystals often come from monsters that cast spells. Dark magic... It gives me chills...

And rarely, so very rarely...a Golden Skull will be found instead of an Ornamental Skull.

^?And then there's the Amber Relic and the Dusk Relic. These can be found in every region, I see...

But for some reason, the Dusk Relic can only be found during some kind of trial...

And my eyes, they see that the Goddess Plume is the rarest of all treasures! If you should find one, you will be the luckiest man alive!

^?Oh no... Er, hang on a second...

I see you're looking well these days! If I didn't know any better, I'd say you'd found the time to gather all variety of magnificent treasures. Come! Come closer! If it's treasure you seek, I'll use my mystical vision to find answers for you!

^?Hey! What would bring you here at this hour... I'm not open at night. Come to my stall in the bazaar at a sane hour!

^?Yesss, thanks to you, young man, my life is full of happiness!

I have not yet foreseen how your life will fare, but if you'd like to find out, come to the bazaar during the daylight hours and we shall see!

^?Ahhh! You're that young man from before!

Thanks to you, I've been able to return to a life of gazing into the future to tell people's fortunes!

What do you say I tell you yours, hm? And I'll even cut you a deal... From now on, it's just half price!

^?Yesssss! The young man is here! Welcome! I've been waiting!

And you've got that smirk on your face, yesssss... The one that says you want me to see what the future will bring!

^?Come now! Let me see into the future with these big, round eyes! And you get my special rate--half off!

Shall I begin to peer into your future? It'll be 5 Rupees. What do you say?

Sure!

No, thanks.

^?Young man, are you about to head into a densely wooded area? Somewhere blanketed in green, yes? Ahhh... My eyes, they see all... Trees! Everywhere! Yes. Many trees... It would serve you well to buy a Wooden Shield before you travel.

I can see that you are a bit young and green yourself, so it couldn't hurt to take a Heart Potion with you.

^?Young man, my visions see... Flames! Burning! Smoke! Scorching heat! This is in your future...

The thought of taking a Wooden Shield to such a place is madness... Iron! You will need an Iron Shield to protect yourself! And you should also take with you some potions to restore your vitality...

^?I see a place...yes, it's coming into focus now... SAND! Hmm, sand? A sandbox? A giant sandbox?

Well, whatever it is, I see it's a desolate place that will cause you troubles with electricity...

Iron won't do you any good there. I see you'll need a Wooden Shield or one that's stronger...

And you might find yourself in need of bombs there. Make sure to carry several Bomb Bags.

^?The place you are traveling to...

Something large awakens? Hmm? It's huge... Whatever it is, it's big! It's bigger than huge!

I'm seeing that you should take extra Heart Potions. Oh, yesss... I foresee that will help you succeed.

^?I see the task that lies before you, young man... Oh yes, I see all...

You seek a place to lay down roots. But these are the roots of no ordinary tree, are they? So where can this tree grow deep and strong? I see...a temple! A temple where an old woman now lives. Yes, there you will find the perfect place!

^?Ahhhh, yesss... You are searching for something. Allow me to gaze into your future...

I see...a propeller falling through a sea of clouds... It is discarded, left to the elements...

Ahhh, I see a mountain of fire... I see a temple on this burning mountain! What you seek is just down the mountain from this temple... A burning mountain... Could such a thing truly exist?

^?Ahh... Structures with large, whirling sails come into focus. Something creates a gust, and the structures... turn! The two buildings face...a tower!

^?Let me see... You seek a certain something in order to repair a broken object. Yesss...

Ah... I see an Ancient Flower...

In my visions, I have seen Ancient Flowers blossoming in ages past where there is now sand. If you scour the sands, you will find one!

^?Two whirling sails face a great tower, and atop that tower you play a tune. Then I see...light! A great light!

The light illuminates the path you must follow!

^?Young man, I see visions of the path that lies before you. You will face a trial! Yesss...deep within the shadows. A hair-raising test... Go to the woods! There you will find the test that awaits you!

^?Oh! I see that you've safely cleared the trial in the woods. Yessss...you can hide nothing from these eyes!

My visions...they show me a large tree in the middle of that forest. There is an important individual there.

And a large stone statue...yesss... Underground... Going up, going down... Oh, yes, I see a flurry of activity in your future. Anyway, just get yourself to the place with many trees!

^?My big, crystal-clear eyes...they see a path before you! You must learn a song within a holy sanctum!

And what's this? My vision shows me it is a place you've visited before. A sacred place among the clouds...

^?What's next for you? Let's see what we can see... You will find the entrance to a trial lying hidden in a sandy place!

That is all the vision shows. These eyes, they have seen much. Your next destination is a place awash in sand.

^?Oho! You appear to have passed a great trial in a sandy place. No time for congratulations--more visions approach! Hmm... You must go to a place with even MORE sand. But I also see an expanse of water... And a ship! This is all very confusing to behold... Anyway, you need to get to another sandy place!

^?Sheesh! How many of these trials must you undergo before your hunger for challenge will be sated?!

This time I see...fire! You will find the entrance to a trial lying hidden on a fiery mountain!

And of course you would not think to take a Wooden Shield, because that would be foolish!

^?Ahhh, I see you passed the trial of fire with ease. But you have jumped from the frying pan into...troubled water! Oh dear... I mean, water troubles! Ooooh, yess... I see that lack of water will cause you much hardship. When this happens, return and visit me once more.

^?Water, water nowhere...and so great the need! Such a thirst to quench! This is a vexing circumstance indeed.

But, young man, you have already discovered the basin needed in order to carry the water.

Yes, yes...it's all clear to me now. Never forget...these eyes see ALL! Go to the woods, for it is there that you will find what you seek.

^?I see a vision, yesss... I see you at a mountain of fire, guiding a basin of water.

And...ah, yes! Failure to deliver it will spell trouble for a certain someone!

^?Aha! The task before you is as clear as my unblinking eyes, young man!

It is also as hot as ever within the mountain of fire. To go there with an Iron Shield would be most wise!

^?Gulp... Again I see the shadow of a towering monster...

My boy...no matter how many times I peer into your future, it never provides a dull moment!

Oh, do forgive me... I didn't mean to imply your fate was entertaining, even if it is... Just take plenty of potions. The fortunes tell me you'll be fine!

^?Young man, whatever have you done?

If my eyes do not betray me, then you are the one behind the disappearance of the Isle of the Goddess! Yess... Nothing escapes my gaze. Well, worry not. I can see that you did not make the isle disappear just for idle amusement!

Still, I am afraid that it will be up to you to find the proper path from here. Trust yourself!

^?I see you've finally found the one you've been searching for! That is wonderful news.

However, your trials are not yet ended! Now you must speak to the great giant who swims above the clouds.

If you wish to know more, you should talk to the headmaster of the Knight Academy.

^?Young man, you seek a song that has been divided into four parts, do you not? Yes, yessss...I see all.

Then there are one...two...three regions that you must visit! And you may go to them in the order of your choosing! In other words, go wherever you want, OK? You're bound to find something.

^?Oh, there it is! Yesss, I see you have gathered three parts of the song you seek, and the fourth... It is held by someone very, very big! Make haste, for when you find this massive creature, your song will be complete. I have foreseen it!

^?You will use the song you obtained from the great swimmer above the clouds to discover the location of the next trial. My vision shows me that this next trial awaits you somewhere in this very town of Skyloft.

Strange... I have no idea what that even means!

^?So I see you have finally passed the final trial... Oh, yessss, all is revealed to my uncanny vision.

I can see what you're after. You want to know what to do with the item you got from the trial, don't you?

Somewhere here in Skyloft is a statue of an odd bird with gem-like eyes. Oh, but one of the gems is missing. Surely you've seen it before... Ahem... If you place the item you have in the socket, your path will be clear! Yessss...I see it all now...

^?Ah, yesss... My vision reveals that you will find what you seek on the Isle of the Goddess.

However, these great big eyes also see much peril. Your path will not be an easy one. Prepare yourself well!

^?Also, if you happen to be looking for a plant of some kind, then I also saw a great green forest. Hmm... I can hardly imagine such a place...

^?Also...you are searching for someone to plow a field for you, are you not?

You will find no such person in Skyloft! Instead, you must go to the caves where those who are skilled at digging dwell!

There you will find the right person for the job. I have foreseen it!

^?Ah! Yes, yes! I see it! You are searching for something lost. A shiny, whirling thing...

I see a dry place with sand! You will find it there in a place that is, itself, not easy to find. These big, dewy eyes...they do not lie!

^?Oh! The mists are parting... I also see a person who has lost a rare bug...

My crystal ball reveals that this bug is being held in secret on an island by one with a love for insects!

^?Ah, yesss... You have overcome a major obstacle and are understandably pleased.

Your next endeavor will be... Ohhhh! The Ballad of the Goddess... I see you want to learn about it!

So who would be able to tell you about such a thing, you might wonder?

Gazing into my crystal ball, I see the... headmaster of the Knight Academy! He is the one to whom you should speak, yesssss...

^?I calculate a 60% probability that the object you seek is in the woods. I advise you to search there.

Do you want me to calibrate your dowsing ability to search for the Water Basin?

Yep!

No, thanks.

^?Yes, Master. Your dowsing ability is now set to detect the Water Basin. I suggest you begin searching at once.

^?Yes, Master. I have canceled your request to set your dowsing ability. Please talk to this person again when you want to regain this dowsing target.

^?Hello...and welcome to the Item Check. Want to put stuff from your pouch into storage? OK. Want to take something out of storage? That's fine. So is there anything in your pouch or in storage that you want to move?

Yes.

No.

^?All right. Let's see it.

^?Wonderful. So what do you have?

^?I hope you're not in a hurry to go, sweetie!

^?OK. Hand it over.

^?Oh, really? Great. Not like my time is worth anything...

^?What's with you? Leave me alone if you don't want anything. Sheesh... I'm busy staring at a wall.

^?What's your deal? Stop bothering me if you don't want anything. I'm busy watching dust settle on my counter.

^?Look, hon, it's not humane to tease someone this bored. Knock it off, OK?

^?So you came all this way just for my sparkling personality, huh? I figured you couldn't stop thinking about me.

^?Listen, I'd love to take some things off your hands, but it looks like I'm all full here.

Just trade some items or do something to make some room, OK?

^?Listen, I'd love to take some things off your hands, but this isn't a bottomless pit. I don't have any more space here.

Can't you just trade some items or do something to make room?

^?Oh. Wow. Looks like I've got too much of your stuff in storage.

My shelves are just like my heart-- ready to burst at the seams!

I need you to get rid of some things. Just trade them or something, OK?

^?Um... Let me see. Yep, I've got no more room for your stuff.

You won't trust me with your heart, but you give me all the extra junk you don't want to have to carry around. You're such a romantic. I'm joking, I'm joking. I do need to make room, though, so trade some items or do something to help me out.

^?OK. Thank you. Come again...

^?Thank you. Come again.

^?See you next time! Tee hee!

^?Remember, you can come by anytime you need to remind yourself about how beautiful I am.

^?Hey! All of my storage space is taken up with your junk!

I can't hold anything else, so you better make room by trading or getting rid of stuff you don't need.

^?Hey. Your stuff is taking up all of my storage space.

Would you please get rid of stuff you don't need and help me make some room? You know, trade some stuff.

^?Oh wow. I don't have any more storage space!

Would you please trade or throw out stuff you don't need? Help a girl out, will you, hon?

^?Great... I'm all out of storage space.

Help me out, will you? Trade or get rid of any items you don't need.

^?Hmm... For that I'll give you # Rupees.

What do you say?

OK!

Nah.

^?Let's see, how many Rupees for that... How about #?

Do we have a deal?

OK.

No, thanks.

^?Thanks. Anything else?

^?Thanks! I bet you've got lots more to put into storage. No rush, sweetie. Take all the time you need.

^?Thanks. Anything else?

^?No, thanks? OK, fine. It's your call.

^?Ooh, good call, sweetie! I knew you were a smart one.

^?No, thanks? You're going to pass on this deal just like you passed on me. I get it.

^?Hate to break this to you, but you don't have anything to put into storage.

Come back and see me when you actually get some stuff, OK?

^?Listen, sweetie, you don't have anything to store.

Come back and see me when your luck improves a bit. OK? Great.

^?You don't have anything to store.

Why don't you come back when you have some stuff. Bye now.

^?You want to arrange your things, is that it?

If you select that option, you can tidy up the things you have in storage.

You know, for example, the arrows in your quiver will be sorted properly.

^?A little spring cleaning, is that it? Tee hee!

If you select that option, you can straighten up the things you have in storage.

You know, for example, the arrows in your quiver will be sorted properly.

^?So you want to get your junk in order, is that right?

The option you picked lets you clean up and sort the stuff you have in storage.

You can even sort arrows in your quiver and...yeah...whatever.

^?Heyyyyy! Welcome to the Scrap Shop! I can use the stuff you find to upgrade your gear and make it even stronger!

And if your shield takes a beating, no worries. I can fix that too. So what'll it be?

Upgrade gear.

Fix shield.

Never mind.

^?You got it! These are all the items you have that I can upgrade right now.

^?What the whazzit? Well then, why'd you even come and talk to me?!

^?These are the shields you can repair right now.

^?What's all this nonsense? You don't even have any shields that need fixing!

Haven't you got something better to do than play jokes on hardworking folks like me who are neck deep in elbow grease?

^?All right. You want to upgrade this? There's no going back, y'hear?

Go for it!

Never mind.

^?OK! You just wait right there!

^?Make up your mind, little buddy! Try picking something else.

^?All done! Here you go!

^?Hold on now... You changed your mind? Well, in all the...

Ehh, it's fine. Come see me whenever you change it back, little buddy!

^?Oh, thanks! Come again soon, y'hear!

^?If you've got anything else you want me to tinker around with, you just let me know!

^?Huh. Looks like you don't have anything else I can upgrade. Come again soon!

^?Hey, kid! I can't upgrade that if you haven't got the treasure I need to do it!

Come on. Pick something else for me to upgrade for you!

^?Hey, kid! You don't have enough Rupees. I don't do charity upgrades!

Pick something else for me to upgrade for you!

^?Hey, kid! You don't have anything I can upgrade for you right now... How about you head over to Rupin's shop and buy something?

^?OK. One shield in need of patching up. That'll be 10 rupees.

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Not interested, huh? Do you need me to fix anything else?

^?Hey, kid! You don't have enough Rupees! Go find some and come back!

^?Hey, kid! You want me to fix any of your other shields?

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're out of shields that need repairing. See you later!

^?Hey, kid! It looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Hornet Larvae.

My grandpa's notes say you can find the stuff in some of the Deku Hornet hives found in heavily wooded areas.

^?So, is there anything else you want to upgrade?

^?Hey, kid! It looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Bird Feathers.

My grandpa's notes say you can find these feathers on little birds living in wooded areas. If you find one, you'll need to use your Bug Net to catch it.

^?Looks like you're coming up short on materials, kid. Yep, you don't have enough Tumbleweeds.

My grandpa's notes say you can find Tumbleweeds rolling around in the desert. You'll need a net to catch them, though.

^?Hey, kid! You're a little short on materials. You don't have enough Lizard Tails.

My grandpa's notes say you can get these from monsters that look like lizards.

^?Looks like you're coming up short on materials, kid. Yep, you don't have enough Eldin Ore.

My grandpa's notes say you can find that stuff buried within fiery mountains.

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Ancient Flowers.

My grandpa's notes say these things used to bloom out in sandy land, but who knows if there are still any around out there.

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Ancient Flowers.

My grandpa's notes say these blooms used to grow all over a sandy land. It's the same type of flower you used to fix Scrapper, remember?

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Amber Relics.

My grandpa's notes say you can find Amber Relics on the common in lots of different places. Seems like it's one treasure that's not so hard to find.

^?Looks like you're coming up short on materials, kid. Yep, you don't have enough Dusk Relics.

My grandpa's notes say you can find these in the "world of the spirit"... whatever that's supposed to mean.

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Jelly Blobs.

My grandpa's notes say you can get that disgusting stuff from soft, squishy monsters.

^?Looks like you're coming up short on materials, kid. Yep, you don't have enough Monster Claws.

My grandpa's notes say you can get Monster Claws from flying monsters, including the ones that come out around here at night.

^?Hmm...though now that I think of it, nights around here have been strangely monster free lately!

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Monster Horns.

Grandpa's notes say you can get 'em from monsters that use them to call their buddies, but you'd need to pull 'em out of their hands using something.

^?Looks like you're coming up short on materials, kid. Yep, you don't have enough Ornamental Skulls.

According to my grandpa's notes, you can sometimes get these from monsters that carry clubs...

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Evil Crystals.

According to my grandpa's notes, you can get 'em by slaying monsters who have the power to curse you...

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Blue Bird Feathers.

My grandpa's notes say you can get these feathers from the rare little blue birds living in wooded areas. You'll need a Bug Net, though!

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Golden Skulls.

Golden Skulls are Ornamental Skulls that shine bright like gold. Seems like they are crazy rare!

^?Hey, kid! Looks like you're a bit short on materials. You don't have enough Goddess Plumes.

They're very rare and extremely valuable, or at least that's what it says here in my grandpa's notes.

Not really.

^?...Huh? It's about this old robot my grandpa used to tinker around with?

...You probably just came here to make fun of the crazy junk guy for believing in his grandpa's stupid stories, right?

Well, get in line... I've heard it before. Wait... That's not why you're here? You say you need to pick up something from below the clouds with this robot? Do you know what that means?! That means...you believe in my grandpa's stories too, don't you?!

^?Well, I'm happy to hear that someone else believes me, but I don't think I can help you. You see, my grandpa's old robot... What's it called again...

^?Oh, hey, that's right... I remember! His name is Scrapper. He may not be much to look at these days...

But he was an amazing robot once! When you called him, he would go anywhere and haul anything!

Sadly, as you can see now...he's just another busted ol' hunk of junk...

^?But old Gramps did tell me this: you can get him working again with the extract from an Ancient Flower. It's like oil to this guy. But I've never even heard of, much less seen, any such thing!

Take mine!

Me neither.

^?WHAT?! You have one?! Are you kiddin' me?! That's amazing!

^?Yeah, who has, right? But if I just had one Ancient Flower...

^?Hold it... Why would you say you have one when you really don't?! That's a dirty trick, kid.

^?If you want me to get Scrapper here working again, I need one Ancient Flower. But I dunno where they are.

I have one!

Me neither.

^?So this is an Ancient Flower?! I can feel some slick, oily stuff coming out of its stem! Great, with this we can fix Scrapper! ...Wait right here! I'll have him up and running in no time!

^?WHOA! It talked! Can you believe that? I guess I really did fix him!

This kid gave me the materials I needed to fix you. Go on! Say thank you!

^?Heyyyy now! Watch it! That's no way to talk to someone who just saved your life!

...Anyway, this kid wants you to haul some stuff around, and you're going to help him!

^?So...take good care of Scrapper for me, will you? By the way, he can sense people's thought waves or something... That means wherever you are, if you need him, he'll be there in a jiffy!

He's got kind of a mean little mouth on him, but if he's in a good mood, he'll work hard for you! Anyway, enough of my yappin'!

^?So how 'bout another upgrade? I'll repair your shield too!

Upgrade.

Repair shield.

No, thanks.

^?Phew... There you go!

^?Hey, kid! How's Scrapper treating you? Anything to upgrade today?

Upgrade.

Repair shield.

No, thanks.

^?So how do you plan to recover all the stuff that fell beneath the clouds?

You know, you could always ask the fortune-teller over there...

I know he's kind of goofy looking, but when it comes to finding things, he's always right on the money.

^?Thank you, BZZRT! I've got a full tank of energy, and I'm ready to carry anything, zzzzt!

^?Huh...? Who is this green-clad individual of small stature?

^?...Hmmm. Are you sure it was him, grrzt?

...Well then, I extend my reluctant thanks to you in a gesture of obligatory gratitude, vrrrrrrt-CHONK.

^?Hmmph. This individual may have restored my operations, but I am not inclined to offer assistance, zrrt.

Serving children is very low in my task priority, dzzt!

^?Who are you?! ZRRPT-FOOOSH!

^?Your name is...Fi? Dzzt! Should I call you Mistress Fi? Are you looking for something, Mistress Fi?

^?I... I understand, vrrt!

At your request, I will carry anything, regardless of weight or destination... whizzt!

^?Master Shortpants! I offer assistance! I can now detect Mistress Fi's thought waves, vrrt!

Should you need me, ask Mistress Fi to call me, and I will arrive with haste, bzzat!

^?Master [Link]...

Materials from the windmill have yielded a signal that you may search for with your dowsing ability. Use it to locate the fallen propeller.

^?However, it will not be possible to carry the item in your pouch and return to the sky.

^?......

^?Master...

We now have the means to bring the propeller back to Skyloft. You may immediately begin your search for the Windmill Propeller.

^?A report, Master.

Because of the improvement to your sword, you can now use your dowsing ability to locate treasure.

Please use the additional entry in your dowsing target list at your leisure and convenience.

^?[Link]!

^?That green uniform looks so... adventurous! You sure look like a knight now.

^?The headmaster said you're heading out to look for Zelda.

You're really something else. I could never imagine myself doing what you're about to do.

I put a lot of work into making this! You should take it with you.

^?It's an Adventure Pouch. It's for... adventures. It's neat because you can fit four things in it that you'll need on your big journey. You can buy all kinds of stuff at the bazaar that you can put in this pouch. You should go look!

You could buy some potions and a shield. They'd fit in the pouch, and they might come in handy on an adventure.

^?[Link]! I just know you'll find Zelda for us.

^?Aww, thanks. I didn't think you had time to help me out, [Link].

No problem!

I'm busy...

^?Really? Thanks! OK, so...

^?Oh, right... You've got today's Wing Ceremony to think about! You can leave that there.

^?Hey, what's wrong, [Link]?

You...don't know where your bird is? What are you talking about, [Link]?

You called it, but...it didn't even come to you?

...So that means... Oh... I knew it...

Huh? Oh, uh, nothing. Really, I was, uh...talking to myself. You know, like I do...

^?That's pretty serious, [Link]. Hope you find your bird soon...

^?I need you to carry one of these barrels over to the old lady who works in the kitchen.

Press [A] to pick up a barrel, then press [A] again to put it down at your feet.

If you hold the Wii Remote up and swing it, you can throw whatever you're carrying.

You can roll small items like pots by holding the Wii Remote down and swinging it.

But we'll get in huge trouble if any of these barrels break, so don't even think about throwing or rolling them.

^?If you forget any of this, just press [2].

That'll bring up an explanation of actions available to you at that moment in time. Pretty handy, huh?

^?Thanks! That was a huge help, [Link]!

I know it's not much, but here's half of the pay the old lady offered me to do that.

^?I have to hang back and watch the academy today. Good luck with the ceremony, [Link]!

^?Hey, [Link]! Just make sure you come back and see me.

^?Good morning, [Link]! Today's the big Wing Ceremony, right?

I wanted to fly too, but I... I didn't make the cut, so I'm stuck back here at the academy.

Plus, I've got to move these barrels over to the kitchen.

I was hoping to at least be able to cheer you on, [Link], but... I guess that's the way it goes. Go out there and wow them, buddy!

^?I'm not like you, [Link]. I fail at everything I try.

That's why I'm still here practicing picking up barrels with [A].

I guess it's not all bad. At least I'm getting paid.

^?[Link]!

^?Hey, umm... I should probably tell you...

Ah, forget it. Never mind. Sorry...

^?Hey, [Link]! Did you find any clues about Zelda? I know you can find her. Don't give up!

^?Zelda fell from her bird... I can't believe it...

She's such a good rider, you know?

Since I'm pretty much the worst rider around, all I can do is hope she's OK.

^?Hey, [Link]!

I've pretty much maxed out on push- ups. Wonder what exercise I can pick up next...

Whoa! That's one sweet bow you've got there, [Link]!

Bet you're a total natural with it, too.

Yep.

Uh...

^?Hey, [Link]! The Isle of the Goddess vanished! What's going on?

Oh...so you already know everything, huh, [Link]?

It must have something to do with finding Zelda. I get it. I'm done being surprised by this stuff. You just make sure you find Zelda, OK?

^?You're amazing, [Link]!

Even if I work my way up to 3,000 push-ups, I'll never be as cool as you.

^?Why are you blushing? You know it's true!

^?I've got it! Why don't you show me how good you are with your bow?

I'm going to toss some pumpkins into the air, OK?

You show me how good you are by filling them full of arrows!

Throwing the pumpkins in the air will give me a good workout too! Two birds with one stone!

OK!

No, thanks.

^?OK, [Link]. I know how busy you are.

You've got the whole "save Zelda" mission going on and stuff. Sorry for bugging you.

^?I'll toss pumpkins for 90 seconds! You get 10 points for every pumpkin you hit.

The more pumpkins you hit in a row, the more points you get. Don't miss!

^?Oh, and one more thing. It will cost you 20 Rupees a try.

Playing for free is no fun, right? So what do you say? You want to give it a shot for 20 Rupees?

Sure!

No, thanks.

^?Can't afford it, huh? Must be rough not having enough Rupees to play a little game, huh, [Link]?

^?All right! Let's get started. Show me how it's done, [Link]!

^?Hey, [Link]! How's everything going?

You want to try shooting some pumpkins? One go around will cost you 20 Rupees!

Yep!

Rules?

No, thanks.

^?Want to try again? It'll cost you another 20 Rupees.

Yep!

Rules?

Nah.

^?You scored # points.

Just not feeling it today, huh, [Link]? Sorry, but you don't get a prize with that score.

The easiest way to hit a pumpkin is to lead it. You know, put the cursor a little ahead of it as it's flying.

Do that, and I bet you can score 150 points or so.

Not that I'm giving you advice or anything. I mean, I know you know what you're doing.

^?Wow, # points! Nice job, [Link]!

It's not the best score ever, but you were pretty smooth, [Link]!

Next time, I want you to aim for at least 400 points!

Anyway, here's 50 Rupees I've earned from doing chores for the grumpy kitchen lady.

^?Drop by when you want to try again!

^?It would be great to see you hit 600 points and set a record next time. Give it your best shot!

^?Wow, # points! That's great, [Link]!

You're good at everything you do, [Link].

Here's your prize!

^?You got # points! That's beyond amazing, [Link]!

The pride of the Knight Academy is truly riding on your shoulders, [Link]! Here, take this!

^?You got # points! That's beyond amazing, [Link]!

The hopes of the Knight Academy are truly riding on your shoulders, [Link]!

Take this symbol of friendship between you and me, [Link]!

^?Ah, hey... What do you need?

Shopping!

Um...

^?You want to do some shopping? Just come back to the shop tomorrow.

^?So when you say "um"...that means you don't have a good reason to be here, huh?

^?What? You think I'm being gruff? You think I'm totally different during the day?

Well, I get tired of having to be a smiley shopkeeper all day, all right? Just don't think that this is the real me. Anyway, enough about that... You're here to make some money at my night market, am I right?

Night market?

Yep!

^?Ah, it's your first time here, isn't it? Oh well...

^?Why didn't you tell me that from the beginning?

^?Night is when I do my buying. See, I buy treasure, but that's not to say I'll buy just any old thing. I only deal in specific types of treasure. Right. Let's get on with it, shall we?

^?So you want to sell some treasure?

^?Well, today I am buying these treasures:

[var] [var] [var] [var] Just these four! So, what do you want to do?

I'll sell!

No deal.

^?Which will you sell to me?

:[var]. :[var]. :[var]. :[var].

^?Hmmm, how many Rupees can I offer for each [var]... Does # seem fair?

^?Hmmm, how many Rupees can I offer for each [var]... Does # seem fair?

^?Hmmm, how many Rupees can I offer for each [var]... Does # seem fair?

^?Hmmm, how many Rupees can I offer for each [var]... Does # seem fair?

^?I see that you're carrying # of those. How many will you sell me?

1.

5.

All of them!

No deal.

^?Ah, the old [var] deal, eh? And you've got # of 'em? Let's see, how many Rupees is that worth... Let's say #?

It's a deal!

Never mind.

^?You don't even have that many! Quit wasting my time.

^?Listen, pal...I've had enough of the funny business. You don't even have a single one of those. So do you want to sell something else or what?

I'll sell!

No deal.

^?All right. Here's your money.

^?Thanks. Come back soon.

^?Oh. Really? OK, well, hopefully you'll come back again sometime.

^?Oh. It's you... [Link]. What do you want with me?

^?Huh? What am I doing?

Bugs... I'm looking at bugs.

^?Bugs are amazing. Even more amazing than Groose in a lot of ways...

Oh...wait. I'm not saying Groose isn't as amazing as a bug.

^?Look, I just really like bugs... I want to collect all kinds of bugs. Sometimes, I even dream about having, like, an entire island full of bugs...

^?...How about this!

[Link], here's the plan. If you find a bug, come sell it to me. When it comes to bugs, Rupees are no object.

Sure!

Er...

^?Mwah hah hah! Now all my bug-collecting ambitions will finally be realized...

^?What? I was sure you'd go for that... Don't make me sic Groose on you...

^?So if you ever want to sell any bugs, just bring them to me. I usually hang out here at night...

I won't just buy any bug, though. What I buy on any given day just depends on the mood I'm in.

Oh, one other thing... This might bug you a little bit, but I only want to do these deals at night. I have a reputation to protect, you know. Got it, [Link]? I don't mean to be a pest, but I'm counting on you. I can't stop thinking about bugs...

^?...So let's get to it. Want to sell me something?

^?Oh, it's you, [Link]. I thought you might come by. Let's just say a little bug told me...

^?Hey, [Link]. Something's bugging me today. I mean that in a good way...

^?[Link]... Want to hear something neat? OK, so...earlier in the night, I went back into those caves behind the waterfall. I saw some Blessed Butterflies in this empty area. I wonder why they were swarming around that spot... Weird, right? If you want to see them for yourself, you should go into the caves at night.

^?Oh, right. Let's see what kind of bugs you've got for me today.

^?Let's see... Tonight I feel like buying: [var] [var] [var]

I'll sell!

No deal.

^?Well, that's too bad... I guess I'll "bee" seeing you...

^?Which do you want to sell me?

:[var]. :[var]. :[var].

^?[var], eh? For one of those, how many Rupees should I part with? Hmmmm... How about #?

^?[var], hmm? For one of those, how many Rupees should I part with? Hmmmm... How about #?

^?[var], hmm? For one of those, how many Rupees should I part with? Hmmmm... How about #?

^?Thanks, mantis face!

I mean that in a good way! I love mantises. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing more of your bugs, [Link].

^?You don't have even one of those! You look like you wouldn't harm a fly, but you're still trying to rip me off?

Or do you just want to sell me a different bug?

Yep!

No deal.

^?How many have you got there--#? And how many of those are you looking to sell?

1.

5.

All of them!

No deal.

^?You don't have that many... So I'll ask you again...

^?I love a good [var]... And you're selling # of 'em, eh? How many Rupees should I throw your way... I'm gonna say #.

OK!

Never mind.

^?OK, here's your money.

^?Nnngghh snrrrk... SNNNNRRRKK...

^?Ahhh... This child just won't go to sleep for me... What can I do? Ahhh...

That's terrible!

And your wife?

^?Yeah, it is pretty terrible... But even when babies cry, they're still really cute... If they're yours, I guess.

You'll understand someday when you've got one of your own!

^?Ah, the missus... She gets tired from running the business all day.

I have to let her get some rest sometime, right...? Ha ha...

^?...Sigh...

^?Ahhh... Doesn't look like I'll get much sleep tonight...again.

Why?

Are you tired?

^?Sorry to worry you...

^?Well, you can see what my nights are like, right?

^?The baby just goes on and on like this all night. I haven't slept a wink in... Ahhh... I don't even know how long.

The baby usually sleeps like a sack of rocks. But that was before we lost the you know what...

No, what?

Oh, that?

^?The baby's Rattle.

^?So you know about it? Yes, the baby's Rattle.

^?If we had the you know what, then the baby would settle down. But we lost it the other day.

A bird picked it up in its beak and flew off with it. Maybe the bird thought it was food. I don't know...

Of course, the bird wouldn't have eaten it, so I think it must still be somewhere here in town. I just don't know where... Sigh... It sure would be nice if someone would find it for me.

^?Ahh...I hope someone finds the baby's Rattle...

A bird flew away with it. It must still be somewhere in town... Sigh. It looks like I won't get any sleep tonight, either...

^?Is that...? The baby's Rattle! You found it!

^?Who's a sleepy baby? Time for beddy-bye.

^?Whew. The baby seems to have settled down nicely. I bet the baby will sleep well tonight. Oh! That means I'll finally get a good night's sleep too! Thank you so much! I won't forget what you did for me.

^?Finally, I can sleep! Thank you!

^?Oh, thank you, thank you! I appreciate everything you've done.

^?5...6...7...

^?Nnghh... Snrrrk... Hrmmph...

^?55...56...57...

^?Snrrrrrk... Hrrmphh...

^?3,985...3,986... 3,987...3,988...

^?Hrrrnnnnghhh...!

^?Whew... Let me catch my breath...

Hey... [Link]! Oh! What am I doing? I'm training!

I can't even lift a single barrel... Pathetic, I know! That's why I want to get stronger.

I'm a bit embarrassed about it, though, so I do it at night when no one's around to laugh at me...

But it's not going so well. I'm just too tired. I was actually about ready to throw in the towel...

^?Ahh...if only there were a potion that would give me stamina, then I could drink that and maybe find that last little bit of strength I need...

^?...Fat chance, right? I suppose I'll have to just put my nose to the grindstone... Yep, just buckle down my bootstraps and all that... Right? Anyway, I'll just keep working on this for as long as I can! All on my own, I guess... Sigh...

^?Oh...but don't worry about me... I still have some get-up-and-go in me... I think... Maybe...

^?Whew...whoo... It's no good...

If only I had a potion that would give me stamina, then maybe I could reach down deep for that 110%...

^?I just...whoo...need a breather... [Link], what have you got there? Is that... a Stamina Potion?

I don't suppose you'd...let me have that, would you?

Take it!

Sorry...

^?Oh! [Link], what have you got there? That's not... It's not a Stamina Potion, is it?

I don't suppose you would mind letting me have that, would you?

Take it!

No way.

^?Oh... Of course... I don't mean to put you out.

^?Really?! Thank you! I owe you one!

^?Whoo-yeah! I can feel my muscles perking back up already!

^?It's just that...at this rate, I don't know if I'll ever get strong and burly.

Try your best!

Yes, you can!

^?Right! That's exactly what I need to do. No more whining! I need to push myself.

^?Wow... Really? It's great to hear you're so confident in me. Maybe I can actually do this...

^?Thank you, [Link]. I'll make you proud. You'll see! I'll be super burly in no time!

OK, back to training! Come back soon so I can show you the new me!

^?I'll do my best! And someday I'll be strong. Come back soon so I can show you the new me!

^?Oh...whoo...I'm sweating up a storm. Good evening, [Link]!

I've been training hard ever since we last spoke, but I still feel so sluggish... Maybe I've just run out of energy.

^?Hey, [Link]. Do you think you could give me some more Stamina Potion?

^?No, no... I can't keep asking you for favors like that! I'll just keep working at it on my own.

^?Ah! [Link], is that... Is that a Stamina Potion you're carrying?

Would you mind if I had some?

Take some!

Sorry.

^?Whoo... I can't seem to catch my breath...

Hey, [Link], I wonder... Would you mind sharing some Stamina Potion with me?

Take some!

Sorry.

^?Of course, of course... Sorry, I was being foolish and presumptuous.

^?It's OK. I'll be fine! I'll just keep at it on my own.

^?Really? Wow, thanks! I'll gladly take it, then.

^?Whoo-hoo! That's the stuff! It's like a refreshing splash of ENERGY!

^?...Sometimes I worry, though. All this training, and no results! How long do I need to train before I start to get stronger? What do you think, [Link]? How many push-ups do you think I need to do to get strong?

About 1,000!

Not about numbers.

^?Ulp... That many? Really?

OK, then... I guess there really is no gain unless there is also pain. So much pain...

^?It's not about numbers? ...Of course!

You mean I should just keep at it until I've forgotten how many I've done, right?

^?I guess that makes sense. Now that I know that, I'll definitely start getting stronger!

Come back soon so you can see how I'm doing!

^?[Link]! You're going to be shocked by how strong I am! Come back and see me soon!

^?Phew! Well, that was a nice warm-up!

...Hey, [Link]! I was just hoping you'd come by. I wanted to ask you something.

The other day I tried lifting some barrels, and I was able to do it with one arm!

Do you think that means I've got enough muscle? What do you think, [Link]? Do I look strong?

Too strong!

For sure.

^?Really? Thanks! I'm so happy.

^?Huh? Aww, you're just saying that. But it's still nice to hear it.

^?It's all thanks to you, [Link].

I would have gotten discouraged if you hadn't come by to cheer me on. You gave me motivation!

Thank you so much, [Link]!

^?I could just keep going and going! Next, I'm going to train so hard that I can lift a barrel with one finger.

^?Phew! Not a bad warm-up...

^?Ugh... I'm so worried... So worried...

What's wrong?

Calm down.

^?Ahh, [Link]. You really want to hear about all my troubles? That's kind of you.

^?CALM?! How could I be calm at a time like this?! ...I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be yelling at you. That won't help.

^?So you see, a short while ago my little sister went out for a quick flight, but she hasn't come home yet.

It was getting late for her to still be out, so I went looking for her everywhere... But I couldn't find her.

I just hope nothing has happened. ...I'm worried sick thinking about it.

^?Hey, [Link], would you mind helping me look for her?

^?She said she was curious about that colorful island that appeared recently, so I suspect she's somewhere in the southwestern sky.

^?I'm counting on you, [Link]!

^?I'm so worried... I feel just...sick. What was she thinking?

I always made her take a bottle of potion with her...but today I forgot...

^?My sister said she was curious about that colorful island that appeared recently, so I suspect she's somewhere in the southwestern sky.

^?Would you please help us look for her, [Link]?

^?What?! You found my sister?! Her bird's injured and can't fly?!

That's terrible! In that case, take her this as quick as you can!

These are Mushroom Spores. They will heal the bird's injury.

^?But, wait... You're carrying too much. Make some space in your pouch, and then come and talk to me.

^?If she uses this, it will quickly heal the bird. She should then be able to make her own way home. Take it to my sister! You can keep the Empty Bottle once she's had a chance to use the stuff inside.

I'm counting on you, [Link]!

^?Where did all the Mushroom Spores go? You haven't given them to her yet?

To get more Mushroom Spores, just collect them from mushrooms. I'm counting on you, [Link].

^?Great--you've made room in your pouch. Well then, take these!

They're Mushroom Spores. They'll heal the bird's injury.

^?What's the deal, [Link]? You need to hurry up and take those Mushroom Spores to my sister!

I'm counting on you!

^?[Link]! My sister made it home safely! Thank goodness... I was so worried about her.

Thanks so much for your help, [Link]!

^?[Link]! My sister is safe!

I'm so relieved! I was getting so worried there. All these worst-case scenarios kept popping into my head.

What? You're the one who gave my sister the bird medicine?

Thank you so much! I don't have much to give you to repay you, but please take this with my gratitude!

^?Oh, that's a shame. I wanted to give you this Empty Bottle, but it looks like your pouch is full and you're also out of room at the Item Check... But I'll hang on to it for you. If you can get rid of something from your pouch or make some room at the Item Check, come see me later and it's all yours.

^?It may not look like much, but believe me, there's a dozen uses for a fine bottle like that. Thanks again!

^?Hey, [Link], thanks for taking care of my sister like that. I won't forget what you did.

^?Hey there, [Link]! I haven't seen Zelda around lately. Do you know what happened to her?

^?Hey there, [Link]!

What's that? Something about two sails? Sorry, but I've got zero interest in silly riddles. Why don't you go ask the town fortune-teller for help?

^?Hey! Did you see what's going on?! The Light Tower is shooting a beam of light off into the thunderhead.

It's almost like the tower is telling us to head into that big mass of thunderclouds...or something.

^?Hey there, [Link]! Have you seen those three troublemakers around here recently? It's been a while since I've seen them hanging around. Maybe failing the test to get promoted to the senior class got them to finally buckle down and study for once.

^?Hello, [Link]! Did I tell you I went to see that Fun Fun Island place my sister was talking about?

The guy I met there was telling me how he dropped his party wheel below the clouds, whatever that is. He looked pretty broken up about it. If you ask me, he'd best get over it. Everyone knows that once something falls below the clouds, it's long gone!

^?Hey, [Link]! Always in a hurry to get somewhere, aren't you?

^?Doesn't it seem weird that all these butterflies have been gathering here in the plaza? There's nothing I can see that would draw them here.

^?Were you up to something down in the plaza? All of a sudden the whole sky got real dark.

^?Did you hear all that racket just now? It sounded like the island was fixing to shake itself to bits. What was all that?

^?The Isle of the Goddess has... disappeared? I mean, how does that even happen?!

This can't be good. Something bad is about to happen. I know it. I mean, other than the island disappearing...

^?Hey, you have a classmate named Strich, right?

He said he'd discovered some kind of insect paradise inside that big thunderhead. That guy really loves bugs, doesn't he? I wonder what he intends to do with this insect paradise...

^?That Strich guy said he was getting a bunch of insects together so he could create Bug Heaven on an island inside that thunderhead!

^?Just a while back I bumped into Strich, who told me he'd found some rare bug. The guy headed for the thunderhead looking happier than I'd ever seen him. Looks like he's setting himself up to bomb his exam again...

^?Well! If it isn't [Link]! I'm so glad you're here. My bird got injured while I was out for a quick flight, and now he can't fly. I somehow managed to make a crash landing here, but now we can't get home!

I can't go home until my bird's better. I need medicine to get him healthy. Of course, it can't be human medicine. It has to be bird medicine. Hey, [Link], I really need your help. Will you go get some bird medicine for me?

Of course!

Sorry.

^?Thank you! You're a real lifesaver.

^?You...you monster!

...But you're just joking, right? You must be...

^?My older brother has some bird medicine. Just go find him, and he'll give you what I need.

I bet he's probably pacing around the plaza in Skyloft, waiting for me to come home and being worried out of his mind.

^?So you have the medicine after all! Why didn't you say so? Those Mushroom Spores are just what I need!

If you could just give them to me, my bird would be better in no time! Do you mind if I have them?

Here you go.

No way.

^?So you'll give me those Mushroom Spores you're carrying? If you could just give them to me, my bird would be better in no time!

Here you go.

No way.

^?No? Oh... Well, I guess there's nothing else I can do but ask you to find my brother and tell him what's happened here. Would you mind?

^?Huh? Really? You already spoke to him? Well, that makes things easier.

^?I'll be waiting for you here with my bird. Hurry back!

^?My brother has some bird medicine. Please go find him!

I'll be waiting for you here with my bird.

^?...Oh, Mushroom Spores! What a relief! You brought the medicine!

Here, take it!

Sorry, no.

^?You...you monster!

^?Thank you! Now I can heal my bird's injury.

^?Now my poor bird should be healthy again in no time!

^?I was beginning to think we were doomed...

You've saved my life...and my bird's! We both owe you a big thanks!

^?Here we go! See you back in town!

^?Oh, [Link]. Thanks for all your help!

My bird is back to full health. Thank you so much.

^?Oh, hey, [Link]. Where's your friend from the academy? You know, Zelda... Was that it? I haven't seen you two together at all recently. Did you have a fight or something?

^?Hey, [Link].

Two whirling sails, you say?

You know, those blades on the windmills look kind of like whirling sails, don't they? I wonder if that's it...

^?For a moment there, it looked like the sky was shrouded in darkness. I wonder if something happened...

^?What?! The Triforce?! Yeah, never heard of it...

Have you tried asking the Knight Academy headmaster about it?

^?Hey, [Link].

So is it true you learned how to get your Loftwing to pull off that legendary Spiral Charge maneuver? That's amazing!

^?Wow, I've never felt the island shake like it did. What could've happened?

^?The Isle of the Goddess has vanished, [Link]!

And it was such a great resting spot for the birds...

^?Ooooooooh...

^?Oooooh... Somebody... Please, somebody help me...

^?Oooh... Paper...

Please... Somebody bring me paper... Bring me some paper...

Any kind of paper at all... Ooooh...

^?Ahhh... Paper! You brought me some paper!

I'll open the door... Please come in...

^?Please forget about the paper... Good-bye...

^?Ooooh... Paper... I need paper...

I'm not angry or anything... I just need some paper...

Give letter.

Don't do it.

^?Ooooh... Somebody... Paper...

^?Huh? You're giving me paper? I'm so happy...

^?But...this looks like someone's letter... Are you sure I can have this?

Yes.

No.

^?Thank you... I will use it with care...

But I'm shy, so don't ask me what I want the paper for...

May we meet again... You kind soul...

^?Ah... You're the one from the other day...

^?It's good to see you again... Actually, thanks to you, I met my true love...

Yes, him...

It all started with that letter that you gave me...

Those beautiful words of affection caused me to fall hopelessly in love...

^?Ahh, my heart is bursting with thoughts of him... I feel so excited, so cheerful, so full of life...

^?Ahh... My love... I will always be by your side... Tee hee...

^?Hmm... Should I give it to her...? Should I not give it to her...?

^?...Uwah! [Link], it's you! Don't sneak up on me like that!

I have a serious dilemma on my mind right now. And you're distracting me!

Dilemma?

Can I help?

^?What? You want to hear about it?

Hmph! Normally I would never, ever tell someone like you... But these are dire times...

^?Huh? Really?!

Arrgh... Normally, I would never ask someone like you for help... But these are dire times...

^?Come to think of it, you might be just the person I need! You seem to be pretty good with the ladies...

...Ugh. I can't believe I just said that. But whatever! Let's do this! [Link]! I have a task for you!

^?So listen up... Your mission is to take this piece of paper to a certain person! It's a very important piece of paper! Make SURE you deliver it.

^?Huh...? What's your problem? Why are you looking at the restroom?

^?What? There's someone in the restroom at night who wants...paper?

^?You fool! How dare you! This is no ordinary piece of paper! It's a letter! A very special one at that!

I put my heart into every word... I guess you could say it's sort of like a... All right, fine! It's a love letter!

And that is why you will not, under any circumstances, EVER allow it to be used as toilet paper! Do you hear me?!

^?So listen up! The person you must give it to is a girl... An upperclassman... Her name is Karane.

You know who I mean, right? She's the one with the round hat. She's really cute. You know the one.

And don't you dare...not even by mistake...even think of giving it to that weirdo in the restroom! Swear it!

^?Here it is. I'm entrusting this letter to you. So don't read what's inside! Do you hear me?!

^?I'm counting on you, [Link]! Get to it! If you don't mess this up, maybe I'll let you be my sidekick!

^?Get it straight, [Link]. I need you to give the letter to the cute upperclassman with the round hat.

And don't even think about giving it to that weirdo in the restroom! Not even by mistake! Don't you DARE!

^?What now, [Link]?! Tonight my head is swimming with thoughts of Karane!

If you need to talk to me about something, it can wait until tomorrow. Now get lost!

^?What?! You actually did it?! You gave the letter to Karane...?!

Oh no. OH NO. What now?! What do I do? Maybe I should go see what she thought of the letter... Ahh, but...this is so embarrassing...

^?Ahhh...so Karane finally knows how I feel about her...

What should I do...? My heart is pounding...

^?Heh heh heh... I'm not afraid of Groose! His room is mine now!

^?Ugh... Nngh...nngh... H-help...

^?Ugh... Stupid Pipit... So much hate for you... For crying out loud...

^?Hey, [Link]! Did you hand over that letter like I asked?

Actually...

Huh?

^?Wh-what did you just say?! You gave it to that weirdo in the restroom?!

^?Y... You... Are you out of your mind?!

Seriously?! You gave it to that creep in the restroom? Really?! You gave it to that restroom weirdo?!

^?Didn't I specifically tell you NOT to give it to the weirdo in the restroom?! Seriously! I said it like five times! I know I did! You fool! How could you?! Anyone who blocks the path of true love deserves to be kicked by a bird!

I hate you, [Link]!

^?Uwahhhhh!!!

^?What do you want, [Link]?! I'm just hurting so bad right now...

I don't know who that was in the restroom, but I'm completely freaked out just knowing that they read my letter... I still can't even believe it! Who exactly did you give it to?!

^?What do you want, [Link]?! I won't forget what you've done to me!

And ever since you botched that thing with the letter, I've been having nightmares and can't get any sleep! It's just one thing after another! What is going on?! I wonder if that bed is cursed? Maybe it's Groose's revenge! You gotta help me, [Link]!

^?Ever since you botched that mission with the letter, I've been having nightmares and can't get any sleep! It's just one thing after another! What is going on?! I wonder if that bed is cursed? Maybe it's Groose's revenge! You gotta help me, [Link]!

^?It's over... It's all over...

What do you want, [Link]?! Have you come to laugh at me in my miserable state? Just leave me alone!

^?Hey, [Link], what do you think about Pipit?

He's nice.

Why?

^?Yes! Yes, he is! He's kind and caring. And handsome and wonderful!

Oh dear... I don't know what's come over me all of a sudden...

Sorry for bothering you with such an awkward question...

^?Huh? Oh... Well, you know... I just...

Oh, forget about it. I don't even know what I was thinking asking you a strange question like that. Silly me...

^?Ah! [Link]! Congratulations on advancing!

Wow... So this year's knight's uniform is dark green, eh? Looks neat!

I bet Zelda will be really happy to see you in that...

Oh, and don't worry... I'm sure she's fine, wherever she is! She'll definitely be home soon.

^?That outfit looks great on you!

Not as good as it looks on Pipit, though!

^?Sigh... Oh, Pipit... How can I get you to notice me?

^?Ah! [Link]!

Uhh, what's the matter? Do you, uh... need something? I wonder if he heard what I was just talking about...?

Give the letter.

Don't give it.

^?Huh? You're a strange one, aren't you, [Link]?

^?Huh? A letter? For me...? Could it be from Pipit?!

Here you go!

Never mind.

^?What kind of a trick is that? Stop messing around!

^?Oh... Thank you. I'll just take that.

^?I wonder who it's from?!

^?Whoa... That's some really terrible handwriting...

Anyway, never mind that... Let's see what it says...

^?..."Greetings. My love for you is wider than the horizon and deeper than the clouds."

"I would very much like it if you would go out with me. Your brave knight, Cawlin"

.........

Wow... This Cawlin guy... Isn't he one of Groose's flunkies?

And...this... This is a love letter from that Cawlin kid...right?

Hoo boy...

^?So, yeah... I have to say, he really put his heart into it and everything...

I don't know... Maybe I should consider going out with Cawlin.

...Hah! As if!

Sigh... I wonder what Pipit would think if he knew about this...

^?Thank you for bringing me the letter, [Link].

Sigh... I wonder what Pipit would think if he knew about this...

^?Hee hee! Thanks, [Link]. Because of you, I have an amazing new boyfriend!

But I feel kind of bad about Cawlin, you know?

^?Well, if it isn't [Link]. You know, you seem to be getting more handsome by the day.

That knight's uniform really suits you. And you give off that "reliable guy" vibe too.

^?Huh, the Triforce? What's that supposed to mean?

^?Whoa, you can already Spiral Charge?!

Wow...that's cool, [Link]! I mean...whatever. I'm sure Pipit can do it, too!

^?Did you hear all that noise outside a little while ago? I wonder what that was all about...

^?Hey, [Link]! You made it! Finally in the senior class! That outfit suits you.

But now's hardly the time to celebrate, right? I can't believe Zelda has gone missing.

You and Zelda are so close... I know you must be worried sick!

I don't know... I just have this feeling she's alive and well somewhere! You've got to believe that and wait for her to come home.

^?Hey, [Link]! How are you? Feeling a bit better, I hope.

I'm afraid I've got some problems too. But, you know, I try to put on a brave face in front of other people.

If you do that, the unhappiness rolls off like water on a Loftwing's back. I always try to keep that in mind.

^?Hey, [Link]! You're looking pretty upbeat lately.

That's the spirit! Zelda will be home before you even know it. Just keep on believing that while you wait for her to come back!

^?Hey, [Link]! How are you doing?

Huh?! What's this about a Triforce hidden by the goddess?

Uhhh, I really don't know anything about that...

If you want to know about that kind of stuff, then you should ask one of the instructors.

^?Hey, [Link]. Listen to this... It's a confidential piece of information that hasn't been shared with anyone but you. So, I was flying around outside when all of a sudden this weird building popped out of the bottom half of the Isle of the Goddess! Just what's going on here in Skyloft?!

^?Can you believe it? The Isle of the Goddess fell right out of the sky!

It breaks my heart to see it missing from Skyloft...but, you know, I think it was a message from the goddess, telling us to make the most of our lives.

^?Besides, she's not the only goddess in my life...

^?What's up, [Link]?

^?...Huh? Karane got a love letter?

I-I see... That's interesting... Wow...

Erm... Wh-what do you think she intends to do...?

Date him.

Beats me.

^?What?! Th-this is a big problem, isn't it?!

^?So you don't know? Well... That's going to bother me until I find out...

^?...Oh! I mean, uhh... It's not like there's anything going on between me and Karane, you know? We're just friends... So it's not my business who she goes out with. I don't have much to say about it.

But you know...I do have a duty to make sure that everyone is living up to the high ideals of our knight school, right? I mean, ideal love is unfettered and passionate. Anything less than that can't really be called love at all, you know what I mean? So I should just step in and make sure that she's found a true love that aspires to the highest ideals of our fine educational institution, right? And what about me? I have the right to experience an unfettered and passionate love too, don't I?

You understand, don't you, [Link]? I'm not wrong about this, am I?

I don't know.

You like her?

^?Wha-what?! Don't be ridiculous, [Link]!

I don't even understand how you could make such a wild accusation!

^?I see... Of course. You've got more important things to worry about than this right now!

^?Well, either way...

I don't suppose you'd mind asking her what her decision is going to be, would you?

^?Erm... Hmm...

Let's just say you had an interest in how that relationship turned out. Do you think it would be best to go and ask her about it? I mean... That isn't to say that I have a personal interest here, though. I'm just interested in the emotion of love...in general...

^?Hey, [Link]! Thanks to you, I found a wonderful girlfriend! Thank you so much!

^?You're the one who sent the letter, right?

^?Y-yes...

^?Tee hee. It was a wonderful love letter. Thank you!

^?It wasn't...that...great...

^?And, um... Wh-what's your...answer?

^?My answer? Ah...my answer...

^?Oh, please! Please go out...with me!

^?Wait!

^?I think you should go out with me instead! I mean...er...I want to ask you out!

^?What...? Hey, hold on there! What are you trying to pull all of a sudden?

^?Errr... I want to go out with... Pipit...

^?Ha! See that, you fool?! I knew she would choose me! She's been checking me out for weeks! Uhh, wait a second...

^?Wait... Really?!

^?Truly? You choose me?

^?Yes! I'm so happy. Thank you...

^?This can't be happening...

^?Aaaaaghhhh!!!

^?[Link]!

^?When you told me about the letter, it was at that moment I finally realized. I realized that...I love her.

I thought to myself, "I can't let anyone else take her from me!"

If you hadn't told me, I might never have even noticed my own feelings for her.

I'm so grateful. I don't know how I can ever thank you!

116-InsectGame.msbt

^?[Link]? I wasn't expecting to see you here.

I flew into this thick fog and ended up on this island.

But once I got here, I looked around and realized...this is some kind of insect paradise!

So I decided to go after my dream and raise a bunch of bugs here. Now I can spend my days catching all the bugs I want! You want to try catching some bugs? I'll release a few for you, so why don't you give it a shot?

^?I have come up with two levels for my bug-catching competition: an easy Bug Beginner level and a Bug Wrangler level for real bug masters like me. Since you aren't a bug lover, I'll charge you 20 Rupees for the Bug Beginner level and 50 for the Bug Wrangler level. Do you want in on this?

Bug Beginner!

Bug Wrangler!

No, thanks.

^?WHAT?! You don't even have a Bug Net?! I don't believe this.

You've never experienced the passion, thrill, and joy of bug hunting? I feel sorry for you.

You can buy a Bug Net at Beedle's Airshop, so do yourself a favor and go there right now and get one!

^?Well, I guess that means you never were a real bug lover.

^?You ready to start catching some bugs? Maybe you'll get bitten by the bug-catching fever, just like me. Or maybe you'll just get bitten... Anyway, it's 20 Rupees for the Bug Beginner level or 50 for the Bug Wrangler level. What do you say?

Bug Beginner!

Bug Wrangler!

No, thanks.

^?Looks like you don't have enough money. So what if we went to the Knight Academy together? I'm not cutting you any deals.

^?Think you can go bug catching with so few hearts? You're not taking this seriously. It's not looking good for you.

Come back once you get some more hearts.

^?I'm going to be timing you while you're in the course. If you get a decent time, I'll give you a prize!

In the Bug Beginner course, I will show you pictures of five different bugs. Catch one of each to finish! Got it? OK, get ready!

^?I'm going to be timing you while you're in the course. If you get a decent time, I'll give you a prize!

In the Bug Wrangler course, you will need to catch a total of 10 bugs that I specify from among eight different types. Got all that? OK, get ready!

^?Hey! You're not thinking about quitting this round of bug catching, are you?

I quit!

Continue.

^?So you really are quitting... I guess you don't appreciate bugs like I do.

^?I know, right? Time flies when you're catching bugs!

^?Uhh...don't you think you're taking too long?

I know you're not done yet, but I'm calling it. Time's up!

^?Easy now! You were about to make a beeline for a quick death there!

Don't forget that bugs can fight back! I knew you were in over your head there, so I had to stop the game.

^?Hold on! Just hold it. You still don't have a Bug Net! Why am I wasting my time with you?

Come back when you finally get around to buying one!

^?That's it--time's up! Umm...you've still got A LOT of improving to do.

For starters, shoot for getting your time under five minutes. Just keep on practicing.

Oh, at night, I buy bugs back in my room in Skyloft. You should come by and sell me any beauties you find.

^?Time's up! That was pretty decent, I have to admit.

Your times will get even better if you remember where the bugs live. Next time, shoot for under three minutes.

^?All right, here's some money. You get 80 Rupees!

^?OK! Time! Hey... This is incredible!

I think you might be in the running for second place as the best bug catcher after me. You should aim for under two minutes. Do that, and a prize package of five fabulous bugs is yours to take home!

^?OK, time's up! ...Th-this is amazing!

I don't have any choice. I'm forced to admit you're one of the all-time greats of bug catching! I bow down to your bug-wrangling skills. Let me give you your prize! You get a set of insects... Five rare ones at that!

^?It's pretty sad that you can't see just how fun catching bugs can be.

But come back when you change your mind!

^?Sorry, I don't do refunds!

Better luck next time. Heh heh heh.

^?Heh heh heh... Who would have thought you'd get so into bug catching that you'd put your own life at risk?!

Sorry, I don't do refunds! Come back later when you have more hearts.

^?OK, you're done! Huh. I guess I should've expected this kind of time from you.

You know, sometimes the same type of bug is a lot easier to catch in just a different place. Make sure you look around for the right spot.

^?Next time, try for under three minutes. Oh, and I guess I should throw you a little money. Here's 30 Rupees.

^?That's it--time's up! Whoa... I'm impressed. You might just be a natural at this!

Don't get full of yourself, though. You're still not good enough to win any of my rare insects.

^?Next time, pull out all the stops and try to finish in less than two minutes.

Oh, and your prize this time is 50 Rupees!

^?Stop! Stop! Time's up! That was just... incredible!

Oh, but let me just remind you that you were doing the Bug Beginner level of difficulty.

Next time, try Bug Wrangler! As a prize, here are five of my absolute favorite bugs!

^?Take good care of them for me...

^?Heh heh heh heh. Well well, it's [Link]! How's life?

Oh, you think I look happy? Heh heh... Well, I guess I can't help it.

I mean, I did discover an insanely rare insect, after all.

Tell me!

Who cares?

^?You want to know more, huh?

Well... Let's just say I managed to land a legendary Horned Colossus Beetle.

It's pretty much a miracle that I found it! I can't stop laughing or smiling. I'm so happy, my face hurts!

^?What?! You're saying this is Beedle's pet bug?! The same Beedle who flies around in that shack selling his junk?

Give it back!

Poor Beedle...

^?I see... You really are a snake in the grass...

^?So you really think a sob story like that is going to work on me? What a joke.

I found this bug, and it's all mine!

^?...I suppose it would be kind of mean to keep someone's favorite pet bug.

But at the same time, I don't feel so bad that I'm just going to give it right back...

How about this?

If you can pull off a time in my game that makes even me admit you are the master of bug catching, I'll give this little guy back. So, what's it going to be? Are you up for the challenge?

You're on!

Not now.

^?Do you have any idea how much this bug is worth?

With this bad boy in my collection, my credibility in the bug-catching community will skyrocket! I'll be a bug-catching celebrity!

^?And because this is still business, I'll be taking 10 Rupees from you...

OK...

No, thanks.

^?Well then, go get 10 insects of my choosing!

I'll be timing you. You've got to get 10 insects within three minutes.

If you somehow do it, I'll give the Horned Colossus Beetle back.

All right then, get set!

^?Heh heh heh... You've come to take back the Horned Colossus Beetle, eh?

Of course!

Nope.

^?Oh, so are you hoping to become part of my collection too?

I mean, you are an annoying gnat... heh heh heh.

^?OK, you're done! Heh heh heh... Who would have thought it would be so easy for you to break the record time!

^?OK, OK... As I promised, here's the Horned Colossus Beetle.

I have to admit, you're a pretty tough competitor. I guess I won't be able to bug you anymore.

Heh heh heh...

^?Make sure to tell Beedle that, bug lover to bug lover, I feel sort of bad for causing him so much stress.

^?Phew...

Sorry, but I won't be able to give the Horned Colossus Beetle back!

Not with that kind of time. At the very least, you're going to have to finish in less than three minutes... Come on! Let's see some hustle!

117-Pumpkin.msbt

^?Oh? So you're willing to help us pick pumpkins, are you?

I'm in!

Nah...

^?I've got a favor to ask of you. See, there were some pumpkins that I wasn't able to pick, but...

Do you think you can help me get those in the storage shed? Don't worry--I'll pay you for your efforts this time.

Sure!

No way.

^?Great! Glad to have you. I know you're the guy for the job!

Let's do it!

Never mind.

^?Oh...and your next job has been decided! Looks like you'll be helping with the pumpkin harvest!

What a relief! Do you have any idea how heavy those pumpkins are?

Oh yeah? You think this is going to be a piece of pumpkin cake, do you?

Heh heh... Let's make this interesting. How about you carry five pumpkins at once?

You better take it slow, or you'll risk dropping them. Just get out there and haul those pumpkins!

Let's do it!

I'm busy.

^?Oh! It's the knight who broke the chandelier! Still working it off, huh?

Oh, hey...Father said he had some more work for you.

You better go talk to him and find out what he has in mind.

^?Oh, look! It's the brave knight who slayed the chandelier! Still working it off, eh?

Say, it's almost pumpkin-picking season...

I wonder how I'm going to lift all those heavy pumpkins this year...

^?Oh, look! It's the brave knight who slayed the chandelier! Still working it off, eh?

^?OK, then! I'll show you where you need to carry the pumpkins!

^?See that storage shed up ahead? Carry the pumpkins there.

^?The trick to carrying several pumpkins at once is to walk slowly!

If they start to lean right, move right. If they start to lean left, move left. Take your time, and keep your balance!

But if you panic and start to rush, well, you're going to drop them. So... Good luck!

^?I knew you wouldn't let me down!

^?Really?! I'm telling Father about this!

^?Really?! I thought for sure you'd be willing to lend a hand.

^?Ugh... Are you always this boring?

^?I just knew you would come through. You managed to carry them all!

I guess that means you're done carrying pumpkins!

Thank you very much!

^?I knew you would come through for me! Somehow you carried them all. You're the one I can trust to get the job done! Here's 50 Rupees for your hard work.

^?Thank you very much! I hope you'll stop in again soon.

^?Awww, you dropped them! You can't be careless like that...

If you want to try again, come on over here.

^?Now that the pumpkins have been harvested, the field needs to be plowed before we can plant new seeds!

If I could only find someone who was good at plowing...

^?Oh! Perfect timing! How do you feel about breaking a sweat with some honest work?

Think you can help carry pumpkins to the storage shed? I'll pay you.

Sure!

No, thanks.

^?I hope I can count on you when it comes time to harvest the pumpkins again. You strong knight, you!

^?Oh! Thanks for helping me carry the pumpkins the other day.

Thanks to you, we're ready to plant the new seeds!

The only thing is, plowing the patch so that it's ready to be planted is hard work!

If only there was someone who was really good at plowing the field...

I know someone!

No idea...

^?Oh, come on! Are you telling me you're OK with a cute girl like me working the field all by herself?! Some chivalrous knight you are!

^?Really?! If that's the case, I'd love to ask this person to help me out.

If you find this person, please tell them to come find me right away! OK?

^?Is there really someone who would help me out?

Well, I'll try to keep my hopes up and just wait here patiently until they show up.

^?I sure hope you can find someone to plow the patch soon...

^?Yay! You found someone, didn't you?!

^?Wait a second... This isn't a person...

Ah, so you're saying that this mole is going to plow the patch for me?

^?Well, good luck, Mr. Mole Man!

^?Wow! Look at that! That's amazing!

^?Wow! One more time! Please?! Again! Again!

^?I am so grateful that you brought this lovely guy to help me!

I'm going to ask him to help with all kinds of things! Thank you very, very, very much!

^?The fields are in good hands...er, claws? He can easily do the work of a hundred people! I'm so lucky to have him around.

^?Are you looking to help out with pumpkin picking?

It's kind of late to be harvesting now... How about you come back tomorrow morning? Me and the patch will be waiting!

^?Teehee! Ever since the mole man came, work on the patch has been going like a dream!

We can grow way more pumpkins now!

^?I calculate a 90% chance that this request is in some way connected to Gratitude Crystals.

Your dowsing ability can be calibrated to locate the person who will plow the pumpkin patch for this girl.

However, if you are searching for another object that someone has asked you to find, that target will be removed when you switch to this target. Do you wish to set your dowsing target as a person to plow the pumpkin patch?

Yes!

Not yet.

^?Understood, Master. Should you wish to assign the person in question as a dowsing target, talk to this girl again.

^?Understood, Master. I will set your dowsing target to find an individual who can plow the pumpkin patch.

^?Your dowsing ability is not currently set to locate the individual this person seeks.

Do you wish to set your dowsing ability to locate a person who will plow the pumpkin patch?

Yes!

Not now.

^?Understood, Master.

Your dowsing ability has been set to locate the type of person she is currently looking for.

^?Understood, Master. I will cancel your current dowsing target.

^?C'mon! Are you seriously trying to get me to work on a field all day?!

Is that why you hauled me all the way up here into the sky?

^?What?! But you... Well...I suppose... I guess I could at least give it a try.

^?Hey! So what d'ya think?!

^?Hah... Ya think? Well, it was nothin' really.

Rootin' around in the dirt is child's play for us Mogmas!

^?Hooo yeah! I'm gonna show you how it's done!

^?Hah... Nothing better than a dirty day's work to make a guy feel alive!

Especially when I see that girl. Makes all the tiredness just melt away!

Say...have you seen the way she's been eyeing me?

I think maybe that girl's fallen for me!

Lemme tell you, it makes me want to work even harder tomorrow!

^?Oh yeah! Here I go!

^?WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!

Get down and come here this instant!

^?Welcome to every bird rider's favorite rest stop, the Lumpy Pumpkin!

This is the one and only place you can enjoy some of our famous pumpkin soup!

What do you think? Want to try a bit and see what all the buzz is about?

Just a little.

I'll pass.

^?Welcome! Can I interest you in a little pumpkin soup pick-me-up?

Just a little.

I'll pass.

^?I'm impressed that a young man like yourself can appreciate the refined taste!

Just 10 Rupees a bottle. Interested?

Fill 'er up!

No, thanks.

^?Looks like you don't have enough money. Maybe next time, then?

^?I get it. Sure. This place is good for more than just drinking soup. You can also meet some colorful folks here. Make yourself at home! But don't break anything or make a mess of my pub.

Especially my special-ordered, custom-made chandelier hanging from the ceiling!

I don't want to see you shaking it! Don't even look at it sideways. Am I clear?

^?I see. Well, I guess you'll just have to work off the cost of that chandelier.

Give me some time and come back and see me. Got that?

^?I think you've done enough work to make up for breaking my chandelier. You're off the hook, kid. I'd even say you did a good job! I thought you might give up partway through, but you stuck it out.

I hope you'll come back and see us again, but as a customer next time!

^?Ahh! You came! Let me see... What was it that I wanted you to do next...?

Hey! What's that?! That's a strange- looking instrument you have there...

Oh yes! You might just be surprised to hear that Kina is actually quite the singer!

It wasn't that long ago that she would sing for our customers!

But she had to stop because her partner quit.

Think you'd be willing to do a quick duet with Kina?

Of course!

Nah...

^?Impressive! You're done harvesting all those pumpkins!

But don't celebrate yet. You've still got a ways to go before you've paid off that fancy chandelier!

Give me some time to think about what I need you to work on next. Just come back and see me.

^?I haven't figured out your next job yet! Come back later.

Or are you interested in buying some pumpkin soup and helping out our profits a bit?

In that case...

No, thanks.

^?Oh, it's you! What should I have you work on next?

Oh yeah, you've got that interesting- looking instrument...

I got it! I've got the perfect job for you!

But that job can only be done at night.

Wait until nightfall and come back and see me, all right?

^?Hey, it's you! Oh, I know that look. You're fixing to play that harp of yours, aren't you?

Sorry, but we have to prepare the stage during the day.

Come back after nightfall!

^?Oh! Looks like you were able to deliver the soup to Eagus safely!

I'll subtract your wages from the bill for the chandelier.

And if you think that we're even, you better think again!

Next, I need you to help harvest the pumpkins! And I'm not taking no for an answer!

Fine...

No way!

^?Oh! You're here just in time. Just in time for another job, that is!

Your next job is to help pick the pumpkins! And I don't want to hear any moaning or complaining.

Fine...

No way!

^?Ah, I see you've delivered the soup to Eagus!

I'll subtract your pay from the bill for the chandelier...

But you're not done yet! I'm already scheming about what I need you to do next.

I'm gonna need some time to think about this, though, so come back and see me later.

^?Huh? What's wrong? I'm still thinking about what I need you to work on next!

Why? Because you still need to pay off that fancy chandelier!

Well, are you going to add to our profits and buy some pumpkin soup?

Sure.

No, thanks.

^?What is wrong with you?! Just look at what you've done!

You broke my fancy, custom-ordered chandelier!

You're going to be working for me for free until you pay off every single Rupee that chandelier cost me! Got that? Are you ready to own up to your responsibility?

Of course!

No way.

^?That's right! And I'm going to hold you to that!

Let's not waste any time putting you to work. I need you to deliver my famous soup to Eagus, Skyloft's Knight Commander! The Knight Commander is a regular here. He says he can't get his day started without a bowl of my soup!

What do you say? Are you ready to deliver some soup to the Knight Commander?

Yep!

Wait...

^?So are you ready to start paying off that chandelier?

Yep!

Uh...

^?Hey! A man's word is his honor! I need you to deliver this soup to the Knight Commander! Got it?

Got it!

Wait...

^?All right, then! Here's the Hot Pumpkin Soup!

Deliver that to the Knight Commander!

^?Listen up, kid. The Knight Commander hates cold soup!

So you're gonna take this hot soup over to him.

I'd say you've got to deliver it in less than five minutes or the soup will get cold!

^?WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?! You got some nerve coming in here, busting up my chandelier and thinking you can get away with it!

^?Hey now!

You don't think you can come in here and break my chandelier and just get away with it, do you?!

^?That soup will be cold in five minutes! Now get on your way and deliver that soup to the Knight Commander!

^?What's that? You don't have any Hot Pumpkin Soup?

Don't tell me you drank it!

I guess there's nothing to be done about it now. Here--take some more!

^?What's that? You don't have any Hot Pumpkin Soup?!

Don't tell me that you drank it! Anyhow, guess I'll just have to fill that bottle up again.

^?But you'll have to pay me for it! That'll be 10 rupees!

^?What?! You don't have 10 Rupees?! Well...what can I do? You're off the hook...but just this once!

^?Hey! You haven't got an Empty Bottle!

You need an Empty Bottle if you want to carry soup! Go get yourself one and come back here.

^?Oh, I see you brought an Empty Bottle with you like I asked. Great!

^?Hey! Did you not hear a thing I said? You let the soup get cold!

I can't believe this... I'll fill it up again.

^?You don't have an Empty Bottle?!

It's mighty hard to drink soup when you've got nothing to drink from! Come see me again when you've found an Empty Bottle!

^?It's about time! Take this!

^?The soup is meant to be enjoyed hot! Just so you know, it'll be cold in just five minutes.

^?Why do I waste my time... Don't you feel even a little bad about what you did?

^?Go on out and talk with Kina. I need you to help her with the pumpkin harvest!

^?This should be an easy one for you. Kina spends her afternoons picking pumpkins in the patch out back.

Carry those to the storage shed. Kina can give you the details!

^?Oh, but...you can only work on the patch during the day!

There's no telling what will happen under the night sky!

^?Ugh... I'll explain one more time.

^?Great! That's what I want to hear!

But make sure you put your heart into it! I won't stand for anything but your best.

^?Customers will start waving their arms as Kina sings her song, so you can just follow them if you need a guide to the rhythm you should be playing. Pick a customer whose movements are easy for you to follow, and strum with them to stay on the right tempo.

Don't worry about the direction of your strumming. Just make sure you're not playing too fast or too slow, and use nice, big, sweeping motions to strum! When the customers stop moving, it's your chance to freestyle a little bit and play however you like!

It's all about playing to the rhythm! Got it?

OK!

Huh?

^?All right then! Hey! Kina!

^?Yes, Father! What is it?

^?This kid is going to accompany you while you sing! Now how about letting your Pops hear that beautiful voice of yours, eh?!

^?Of course! Let's do it, kid.

^?What's wrong? Did you not understand what I said? Listen up!

^?Hey! So you're saying that you'll play one more time for Kina?

I'm in!

Explain!

No way.

^?Fair enough. Rest up and come back when you're ready to play!

^?Great! I was hoping you'd say that.

^?Well, well... Welcome! I can see from your handsome outfit there that you're a Skyloft knight!

I hope you'll make yourself at home!

Have the Rupees sitting on top of the chandelier caught your eye?

Don't go thinking that you can get those down, you hear?

You might think that you could knock the Rupees down by bumping something and making the chandelier shake, but... Don't even think about it! Are we clear?

^?Well, well... Welcome!

My father told me! He said that you have to work to pay off the chandelier!

It won't be easy, but I know you can do it.

^?Don't even pretend that was an accident! I put signs up there to warn people to be careful of the chandelier and everything! Well I wash my hands of the whole thing! Don't be surprised if my dad gives you a royal chewing out!

^?Hey there!

Welcome to the Lumpy Pumpkin! Sit back and relax! Are you OK? You look flustered.

^?What?! Something happened to Levias?

You know, Father used to deliver his pumpkin soup to Levias every year. Maybe you should talk to him?

^?Listen to this!

The old guy over there says he saw a demon!

He's obviously trying to get Kina's attention, but he won't get anywhere using creepy lines like that!

^?Don't tell me you believe in superstitious hogwash like demons now, do you?

Hold on! Are you trying to get Kina to look your way too?!

^?Oh no. You've done it now! There's no escaping this one!

^?So all that talk about monsters and demons was just superstition, right?!

That old guy was just talking nonsense!

^?Hey, did you know this?

Kina will sometimes get on that stage and sing a song or two for us.

If there was a lovely melody playing, I bet she couldn't help but sing along.

^?Hooo boy! It's been too long since I heard Kina sing like that. I might have fallen in love with her all over again!

^?I hear this chandelier is here 'cause of all your hard work.

You aren't just doing it to try and impress Kina, are you?

^?You believe me, don't ya?!

Believe what?

Sure!

No chance.

^?There's a fiendish demon living in Skyloft!

I'm tellin' ya, I came this close to getting eaten by that evil beast!

You look like you've gotten a little knight training, but you'd better keep your guard up, or he'll take a bite out of you too!

^?I know, right?! You're a good kid!

^?Hey, now... What's with you kids today and all your disrespectin' and whatnot! I swear...

^?You have that gullible look that says you might take an old man's ramblings seriously. So tell me... Do you believe in the Skyloft monster? I shouldn't even call it a monster! It's a demon, I tell ya! But no one can say fer sure because no one's seen it and lived to tell the tale! Wha-huh? You wanna know how come I'm tellin' the tale if nobody who's seen it is left alive? Is that it?

Yep.

Not at all!

^?Well, you see... It was the dead of night. I hit the gravestone closest to the tree. The impact made the gravestone light right up! After that, I went to inspect the lit-up gravestone. When I pushed against the gravestone, the door to the storage shed next to it opened all on its own... And that's when I saw it! I saw the monster! It lives in the storage shed!

I'm serious! You shouldn't go in there! If you do, don't say I didn't warn ya!

^?What?! Didn't you hear me the first time?

Nighttime?

Cemetery?

^?Yeah. If you want to wait till night, return to Skyloft and rest in a bed.

Skyloft becomes a completely different place at night...

I don't think you should go, though. And it's not my fault if something bad happens to ya. Nope.

^?Yeah, well...I saw it, but I was able to escape by the seat of my pants. I was saved by my catlike reflexes, I tell ya!

Any regular person wouldn't have lived long enough to scream!

^?Well I will keep going if you stop interrupting me like that!

^?Anyway, I saw the thing, I tell ya!

There's a great big tree in the cemetery. I walked by that tree in the middle of the night and...

I saw it hit the gravestone nearest the tree, and the gravestone lit up!

It pushed the gravestone, and the door to the storage shed opened up all by itself...

The monster then went into the shed, and then...it closed the door behind itself, which was unexpectedly polite for a demon... It was the most terrifying thing these old eyes have ever seen! If you're smart, you'll stay clear of the cemetery in the middle of the night!

^?What?! Are you telling me you moved the gravestone?!

And did you see the monster?! What?! Weren't you scared?

You can't fool me! I bet you were scared stiff!

^?You really shouldn't wander around Skyloft at night! If there's something you want to talk to me about, do it during the day.

^?What were you thinking? You scared a year off my life!

What did you want again? I lost my train of thought...

^?Kina's singing voice is beautiful! ...But her music partner quit recently, and so I haven't heard her sing in a while. I really wish I could hear her voice again.

^?Yep! Kina's singing is the best I've ever heard! There's nothing like it. It's the opposite of my wife's warbly voice...

^?It's nice having a bigger chandelier and all, but I think the thing's a bit too bright for my eyes.

^?Hey, so I guess he's going to be helping with the pumpkin patch!

^?I don't understand that Kina. If she was having trouble tending to the pumpkin patch on her own, she could have just asked me for help!

^?Seriously! I could plow the patch much faster than that mole guy out there!

^?What? Seriously? I'm so happy!

^?Hahaha! For Kina, I'd do anything! Whether that's on a pumpkin patch or inside a burning house!

^?Hehe! Well then I look forward to getting your help out there!

^?You're all so sweet!

^?Oh, but that's asking too much. Customers shouldn't be made to work in the pumpkin patch!

^?It's fine! I'll be a lot more reliable and hardworking than that shady-looking mole man you got here now!

^?Hah! I'm happy to do it. After all, I live to see that smile!

^?I brought the old Mogma, zzzrt!

^?Send my best to Fi, bzzzzzzat!

^?What's the matter? You look like you've got something mighty serious on your mind.

Actually...

Really?

^?Oh! I guess it was nothing, then. If that's the case, why don't you kick up your boots and stay awhile?

^?If that's the case, how about doing some more work to pay off that chandelier?

^?Welcome to the Lumpy Pumpkin! This here's every bird rider's favorite rest stop.

Of course, this is the only place you can drink our famous homemade pumpkin soup!

Judging from the look on your face, I'd say you've got something stewing in your mind.

Actually...

Really?

^?Levias... What about him?

Sure, I know Levias well, but I wasn't aware anything was wrong...

Every year I offer him an entire basin full of my pumpkin soup!

But lately a huge thunderhead has been brewing there, and I haven't yet made this year's offering. I tell you, I feel horrible about it!

^?You say you'll deliver a pot of my soup to Levias?

Huh. I don't know how you plan to fly into that huge thunderhead brewing out there, but...

If that's the case, I'm going to do everything I can to make Levias the best batch of soup ever!

^?You wait right here! I'm getting inspired to fire up some soup like I've never souped before!

^?Voilà! Here it is!

I've been cooking this stuff for well over 10 years, and I have to say this is the best batch of pumpkin soup I have ever created!

^?Master, I will signal for the robot.

^?Miss Fi! I'm heeeeere, bzzzrt!

^?Oh, this is another heavy load... But don't worry! I can carry anything!

I'll be waiting outside. I can take you wherever you need to go as soon as you're ready, zizzat!

^?The place where I offer soup to Levias is inside the thunderhead cloud, on an island with an everlasting rainbow.

Oh, you'll know it when you see it. Good luck!

^?Hey! What are you thinking?! I go to the trouble of making that soup, and you change your mind before you deliver it? That robot of yours brought it all back here!

Sorry!

Try again!

^?Fine, I'll whip up another batch. But only because it's for Levias!

^?Huh... I thought it would sound a lot better when you played it, just 'cause that's such a pretty little instrument you have there... The customers didn't seem impressed, either...

^?You're much better than I expected! I think I underestimated you. I hope we have a chance to entertain the customers again!

^?That wasn't just amazing... That blew my socks right off! Your harp playing was even more impressive than my voice! You've got yourself a fan! I hope I'll have a chance to hear you play again sometime.

^?I...guess you could call that playing... Sort of...

To tell the truth, I found your "performance" a little lacking.

^?What in the blue sky was that?! Is that your sad little idea of what music is?!

What?! Don't look at me like you think we're even now! You're crazy! I'm not paying you for that. You're gonna have to try again later!

^?Impressive! I'd say you passed.

^?Wow... Even I got a little dust in my eye there during your performance! I didn't think you had it in you.

^?With this, I say we're even! You don't have to work for me anymore. Great job!

You know, I'm going to buy a new chandelier to replace that old one! It really fancied up the place.

Considering all the hard work you put in around here, I feel like I should give you a little something. Take this!

^?Maybe you can swing by later. Yep, as a customer next time.

^?And what was that?! Your horrible "music" made even Kina's performance look bad!

You listen here. I'm not paying you for that little stunt. Got that?!

^?That was all right, I suppose. Though you could really make Kina smile if you played just a bit better.

I'll give you 20 Rupees for that performance. Go on, take it.

^?[Link], that was fantastic! I'm giving you 50 Rupees for that performance!

^?I can't say it knocked my socks off, but you know, for a first try, you did good enough!

^?I hate to tell you this, but you need to work on your playing. I'm not shelling out hard-earned Rupees for a sloppy performance like that.

^?Hey, [Link]! What do you think of this new chandelier?

Let me tell you, this beauty set me back quite a bit!

^?You...think I spent too much on it?!

Don't be a wet blanket! It's thanks to your hard work that I was able to buy such a stunner of a chandelier! So don't break it!

^?Anyway, what can I do for you? If it's work you're after, I'm sure I can find something for you to do. Just for old times' sake! And, of course, I'll pay you for it this time. Want to make some money playing your harp for us? Or maybe you just want some soup?

Play harp.

Soup.

I'm busy.

^?I get it. Well, even if there's nothing in particular you need, I hope you'll take some time to sit back and relax!

Oh, and don't forget to stop and say hello to Kina now, you hear?

^?Come on! Make your mind up, will you?!

^?Great! You can entertain my customers and put a smile on Kina's face!

^?Oh, sorry, but Kina only does performances at night.

Come on back at night, OK?

^?So what will it be?

Harp.

Soup.

Nothing.

^?Wow! I didn't know people were skydiving over the Lumpy Pumpkin!

I heard there are colorful critters that sometimes accompany you when you skydive.

I wonder if something good happens when they appear? Seems only right.

^?Say, I wonder how Dodoh's doing. Have you heard anything?

I know he was working hard to make a place where we can all have some fun and blow off some steam.

^?Have you seen Owlan's collection of plants?

I wonder if he's made any new discoveries lately?

^?With all of her jobs, Kina has a lot on her plate.

If only there was someone who was really good at digging holes...

^?Sparrot hasn't been seen hanging around the bazaar lately...

It's a shame. His predictions were so accurate it was spooky!

^?Jakamar is pretty good at fixing stuff.

I'll bet he can fix Skyloft's windmill too!

^?Oh, now I've done it...

I knew better than to get greedy!

^?Oh yeahhh... There's nowhere else I'd rather be at night!

^?What? Is something wrong?

^?Hey, [Link]!

I didn't think I'd see you here. Bet you're wondering what I'm doing here.

Yep.

Not really.

^?I think I mentioned this before, but man, I am really into bugs.

That's why I'm out collecting insects wherever I think I'll find them.

If you have a Bug Net too, you should try catching some. Heh heh heh... If you don't have one, you can pick one up at Beedle's Airshop. I'm sure that sweaty shopkeeper is flying around Skyloft now...

^?Not really...?

I always knew you weren't a bug lover like me...

^?Oh no... You've gone and made a terrible mess of things, haven't you?

Well, now you're going to be in a world of trouble!

^?Hey, [Link]. If you catch a bunch of bugs and you have more than you know what to do with, I'll be happy to take some off your hands. But rather than do it here, come by my room in the academy...

^?Hey, [Link]. Wanna hear some worthwhile information?

Ever come across those big rocks with holes while you're out flying?

Well, there's a mysterious power or vortex or something in them. If you fly through it, you'll get a temporary boost of speed. Skilled bird riders use this trick to get across that big sky quickly.

^?Flying through the holes in the rocks makes flying so much faster. But it's an experts-only kind of thing.

You're more likely to smack into the rock and have the opposite effect. Heh heh heh...

^?Welcome! This is the Lumpy Pumpkin, home of the finest pumpkin soup in the big, wide sky!

There isn't much to do here but take a load off, relax, and enjoy yourself!

^?Don't just sit there! I suggest you get a move on and find my father, or else!

You're going to be in big trouble!

^?Hey, why are you just sitting there?

Well, I guess we all have to sit and ponder things once in a while. Good for the noggin, I always say.

So relax! Take your time, thinker!

^?Hey, don't just sit there! Haven't you got something to do right about now?

^?Hey, hard worker. You've gotten a lot done for us.

You're always welcome here, as a handyman or a customer!

If you're itching to do some work like you did before, that's just fine with me! I'll even pay you for it this time.

^?Kukiel! Kukiel! Where could that child have gone?!

^?Oh, Kukiel... Where did you go?

What will I do if she's been... kidnapped?!

^?Oh, my sweet Kukiel... Please...find my daughter before anything bad happens to her.

If something happened... I just... I don't know what I would do.

^?What is this world coming to? The Isle of the Goddess is falling, and there's still no sign of Kukiel... Oh, my sweet Kukiel... Please, [Link]! Hurry and find her!

You...wouldn't think of abandoning the search, would you?!

^?Oh! [Link]!

^?What perfect timing! You haven't seen my Kukiel, have you?

Nope.

Kuki-who?

^?Oh no! This is terrible! The Isle of the Goddess has fallen! I was just searching there for my Kukiel...

Have you seen her?! My Kukiel?!

Nope.

Kuki-who?

^?I...I see.

^?My daughter! She's a little five-year-old girl!

^?Please, [Link], won't you help me look for her? I've been looking everywhere, but I can't find her!

I've asked everyone I could find for help, and a few people have said she's been spotted with some unknown person with a scary face. Someone else even said they thought they'd seen her carried off by a monster. A monster!

She must have been kidnapped! She's so cute and friendly... Someone must have just walked off with her!

^?Find Kukiel, please! Please! It breaks my heart to think she's somewhere out there, crying!

Please, [Link]!

You got it.

Nah...

^?And you truly consider yourself a knight in training? Isn't it a knight's duty to protect the townspeople?!

^?Thank you! The Knight Academy should be proud to have a student like you.

Please, find my daughter quickly!

^?Oh, [Link]!

Kukiel is safely back at home, and it's all because of you! I don't know how to express my gratitude.

I can finally smile and laugh again! Thank you ever so much.

^?Oh! You found Kukiel?

Hmm. Well, I guess it's good to hear she's at least with a friendly and responsible adult... But I just can't wait to see her!

^?[Link], thanks so much for finding Kukiel.

I'll need to be sure to find and thank that kind gentleman who kept an eye on her too...

^?Oh hello, [Link]. You haven't seen my husband around, have you?

I know he's curious why the night turned silent so suddenly, but it's no reason to dash out there. What if he bumped into a monster?!

^?[Link], it's great. Ever since Kukiel came back, she's stopped wandering out on her own.

It's too bad her father can't follow her example. He always slips out to wander around town.

^?EEEEEEEEEEEK!

^?He's not a bad man! He saved me one time when I almost fell over the edge! And he lets me come here and scream as loud as I want! Anyway, he said it was dangerous to go out alone at night, so I'll just hang out here for a while. Tell my mom I'll come home in the morning!

^?Hey, what's wrong? Why do you look so scared? Did something happen to you?

^?Oh, it's you, [Link]!

Uncle Bats told me he wants to see all the grabitude crackles he can! But how's he going to do that?

^?Heya, [Link]! Huh? Uncle Bats is a human now?

...Awww, that's too bad. I liked his flappy bat wings...

^?Oh, [Link]! How's it going? Any luck tracking down Zelda?

...I see. Well, we're all pulling for you!

By the way, I saw Kukiel's mother heading up toward the temple a little while ago. She looked pretty upset... You don't suppose something happened, do you?

^?Huh? Kukiel's gone missing?!

We've got to do something! I'll start looking too! Ask around and see if you can find somebody who's seen her, [Link]!

^?Check the plaza, [Link]! I'll try some other places.

I wonder if that boy she was playing with yesterday is still around...

^?I still haven't seen any sign of Kukiel, [Link]!

Have you been really looking for her? You're not putting it off for later or anything, are you?

I'm doing my best to find her, but I can't do it alone. You do the same!

^?I still haven't seen any sign of Kukiel, [Link]!

Are you really looking for her?

What? She's safe?!

That's a huge relief! I'm so glad you tracked her down, [Link]! I knew you'd do it.

^?Oh, hey, [Link]! Kukiel's mother must have been thrilled, huh? I'm sure glad you found her!

^?You should go and let Kukiel's mother know! I'm sure she's at their house near the water's edge.

^?Oh, [Link]! How's it going? Any luck tracking down Zelda?

...I get it. Well, all of us here are pulling for you!

By the way, I saw Kukiel's mother heading up toward the temple a little while ago. She looked really upset. Do you know if something happened?

Wait, who?

I know!

^?Oh, [Link]! This is just so awful it's hard to believe... The Isle of the Goddess is gone!

That cute little Kukiel girl has gone missing...

There's no sign of Zelda. Groose is gone... What's this world coming to?!

I'll do my best to help look for them, but this may be up to you, [Link]!

^?You know, she lives in that house near the water with her husband and their little girl.

I don't know what was wrong, but she was definitely upset.

^?...You're just pulling my chain, aren't you?

^?I'm sure you'll find Zelda too!

^?You probably heard about the Isle of the Goddess, huh? I wonder what happened. It's just crazy...

There's no sign of Zelda. Groose is gone... What is going on around here?!

^?Hey, [Link]. Any closer to finding Zelda?

Don't go around telling anyone, but lately I've been working out at night so that I can get strong like you.

...No, no, no! Please don't come to my room at night when I'm training. I'd be so embarrassed!

^?Just you wait! I'm going to keep working out at night until I'm strong like you!

^?I've been secretly working out at night so that someday I might be strong like you, but...it's not as easy as you make it look, [Link]. You really are amazing!

^?Oh, how embarrassing... You caught me in the middle of my nightly workout routine.

I want to become strong like you, but I just don't seem to be making any progress. I'll keep trying, though.

^?Hey there, [Link]! Thanks again for that Stamina Potion! Since you gave it to me, I've been doing push-ups like a machine! You'll see! I'll be as tough as you in no time!

^?Hey there, [Link]! I've been training hard at night since you gave me that Stamina Potion.

But, I don't know... It's started feeling like maybe I've reached my peak. Like maybe I'm just wasting my time.

I don't know if I'll ever be as strong as you, [Link]...

Still, there's nothing to be gained from feeling sorry for myself, so I'll keep working out every night! Come by and give me pointers anytime!

^?Hey, [Link]! Any closer to finding Zelda yet?

I think I mentioned this before, but it's started feeling like maybe I've reached my peak. Like maybe I'm just wasting my time... Anyhow, I'll be here doing my thing at night, so come by and give me some advice whenever you've got the time.

^?Hey, [Link]! How goes it? I've been great, thanks to that Stamina Potion you gave me!

The longer I train, though, the more I realize I'll never measure up to you... I'm just so...scrawny.

Hey, if you're up for it, why don't you come by and visit again some night?

^?Oh, hey there, [Link]!

Hmm? The Ballad of the Goddess? Sure, I know it. Zelda used to sing it all the time.

I'm afraid I don't know the lyrics, but I bet you anything the headmaster of the academy does.

^?Hey, [Link]!

Two whirling sails, eh...? That's a tough one. The wind is really strong here in Skyloft, so there are lots of things that look like sails.

^?[Link], this is amazing! There's some kind of beam coming out of the Light Tower! I've never seen anything like it!

^?Hey, [Link]! Did you find any trace of Zelda? I hope she gets back soon.

^?Whoa! What's the matter, [Link]? You look pale!

It's Kukiel!

Do I?

^?What?! Kukiel is missing?

She was abducted by a monster?!

You don't think this has anything to do with all those silly stories about a horrifying monster that's been living here in Skyloft for ages, do you? People say the creature appears in the dead of night, scaring folks and even taking away children!

Probably nothing more than a scary story some older brother made up to terrorize his younger siblings, but still...it makes me wonder.

^?Well, it looked that way to me. If nothing is wrong, though, I guess there's nothing to worry about!

^?I heard you won the Wing Ceremony! Congratulations! That's incredible!

Hey, you don't seem all that happy about winning. What's the matter?

^?Oh! Kukiel turned up OK?!

You were the one who found her? Nice work! That's showing 'em what a student of the Knight Academy can do! You should go and let her mother know she's safe! Their house is down near the water's edge.

^?How weird... I can't see the Statue of the Goddess for some reason. That's weird...

Well, never mind that.

^?What was that thunderous rumbling just now?

^?Kukiel's mother was calling for her like she was worried. I wonder what happened...

^?Did you hear? A child who'd been playing in the graveyard went missing.

Can you believe it? Do you really think there are monsters abducting children in our little town?

I do!

I dunno...

^?What?! So there's a chance she was dragged off by a monster?

Let's not be ridiculous here. This monster business is going a bit far. Oh...

Now that you mention it, there's an old man who lives near here who's always ranting about hidden monsters here in Skyloft... Everyone knows he's a little loony, though, so no one takes him seriously.

^?Nothing fazes you, does it? A child just vanished from our little village!

^?You want to know where the old man is?

I'd imagine he's at the Lumpy Pumpkin, to the east of here, as usual.

You'll need to fly your bird there, of course!

^?Oh! So you won the Wing Ceremony and graduated to the senior class?

I can tell by that handsome knight's uniform you're wearing! It looks very dashing on you.

One step closer to knighthood, eh?

^?Hmm...? The girl who went missing has been found safe?

I see. So she wasn't abducted after all. That's a relief to hear!

Well, anyway, I guess that case is closed! Great work, valiant knight!

^?Sweet mercy... First the ground starts shaking... Next thing I know, the whole Isle of the Goddess disappears!

Oh, by the way...

^?That was some real shaking there! What do you suppose could have caused it?

Oh, and while I've got you here...

^?There's talk going around that a little girl has disappeared!

^?So you went and spoke to that old pumpkin chugger, did you?

Hmm. He told you that you should deal a blow to the gravestone nearest the tree and then move it...to find a monster? Probably just a lot of hot air... Either way, you're better off not walking around outside after dark.

^?Hmm. He told you that you should deal a blow to the gravestone nearest the tree and then move it if you want to find the monster? Either way, you're better off not walking around outside at night.

^?Hmm... I wonder how I can get my hands on a Bug Net from Beedle's Airshop.

Where's Kukiel?

Airshop?

^?Kukiel?

Well, I did see her playing over by the graveyard yesterday...

My mom called me home, so I left. I don't know what she did after that.

Why? Did something happen?

^?I'm trying to think up a way to get Beedle's Airshop to stop.

There's a bell hanging down from it, and I hear if you ring it, Beedle will stop for you.

But being up that high, you'd have to launch something at it to have any hope of hitting that bell.

If you ever look around and can't see the shop, try opening your map!

^?Hey, look up there! It's Beedle's Airshop! It's here!

He sells Bug Nets there! I want one sooooo bad!

There's a bell hanging down from the shop, and I hear if you ring it, Beedle will stop for you and pick you up!

But that bell is up off the ground... You'd have to launch something at it to have any hope of ringing it!

^?Oh, Kukiel's safe?!

I hope she'll be allowed to come out and play! I was worried she got eaten!

^?I have to figure out a way to get up to Beedle's Airshop soon so I can get a Bug Net too!

Then I'm going straight to the Scrap Shop to get Gondo to upgrade it and make it even bigger!

^?Ahhh, the wait is killing me! I've got to have a Bug Net! How can I get up to Beedle's Airshop?!

^?The Statue of the Goddess is gone! What are we gonna do?!

That was easily the best place in the whole world to catch bugs!

^?Hi, [Link]!

WHAT? You went to Beedle's Airshop? Without me?! That's so unfair!

^?Hey, [Link]! Look at the Light Tower!

There's a beam of light shooting out of it! How cool is that?!

^?Hey, [Link]! Is it true you can catch more than just bugs with a Bug Net?

The guy at the Scrap Shop said you can use one to catch all kinds of stuff... like things you'd never even think of!

^?Yo, [Link]!

Huh? The lyrics to a song Zelda was singing?

What's a lyric? Is that some kind of bug? I don't get it. I'm so confused...

^?Hey, [Link]! I haven't seen Groose around lately. I wonder if he got into big trouble and now he has to go to detention at the academy...

^?Hey, [Link]! Strich taught me some great bug-catching techniques!

He said it works better if you swing the net to your side instead of over your head!

He also said it's best to sneak up on the bugs slowly and then swing fast!

^?Hi, [Link]!

Huh? Try and force...? What are you talking about? Sometimes you're so weird...

^?What's up, [Link]?

^?So you're curious about that windmill, eh?

Pretty smart design, I gotta say. See, you can turn the windmill so that it can always catch the wind no matter which way it's blowing.

^?But... Well, there used to be this little propeller attached to the windmill so that you could turn it.

The thing flew off ages ago. It must have dropped down off the edge, down beneath the clouds.

^?The windmill's been uselessly sitting there ever since.

^?You wanna know if I could fix the windmill if you brought back the propeller?

Well, if I had the propeller, I could probably rig something together to get it back on there, sure...

^?But how would you even go looking for the propeller in the first place? Once something falls through the clouds, it's gone for good.

^?...Hang on.

Come to think of it, Gondo at the Scrap Shop told me that someone in his family once used a flying robot to haul junk back from beneath the clouds. But we're talking about a tale that's been passed down over a lot of years, so I wouldn't put much stock in it.

^?Dredging things up from some mystical "world beneath the clouds" that doesn't even exist? Sounds like a lot of hot air.

Gondo actually bought into the whole thing, though. That's why he's always tinkering with that busted old robot.

^?Whoa! Isn't that...the beat-up old robot from Gondo's place?!

^?Wait just a second...

Is that... It is! That's the windmill propeller! That thing was supposed to have fallen down below the clouds!

Are you saying that whole story handed down through Gondo's family was actually true?

Hmm... Somehow I get the feeling this is all some elaborate prank, but I guess I'll try to fix this thing...

^?This goes in here... And I just crank that a few clicks...

^?Phew!

^?That ought to do it! If you can find some way to spin the propeller, you can probably turn the windmill around.

^?Honeeeeey! Honeeeey?

^?Oh no! I think I might've promised my wife I'd fix our cupboard! I swear that woman's always looking for somebody.

^?Oh, no! I just remembered I'm supposed to be looking for Kukiel!

^?See you around, [Link]!

^?Catch you later, [Link]! If you happen to see Kukiel, let me know, all right?

^?Thank you so much for tracking down Kukiel, [Link]! It's such a gorgeous day today too.

On a day like today, there's nothing I'd love more than to head over to the Lumpy Pumpkin for a sip of soup.

But of course my wife asked me to fix the cupboard, so I'm not going anywhere.

Sigh... The story of my life...

^?Hey, [Link]. Still no sign of Kukiel! Even I'm starting to get a bit worried...

Help keep an eye out for her, all right?

^?I highly suggest you retrieve the windmill propeller from the land below to reorient the windmill.

^?I'm fine. Go on, go on... Please leave me be...

My crystal ball has shattered, and without it, my eyes can no longer gaze deeply into the future...

It's almost as though these exquisite, all-seeing eyes of mine have begun to dull and cloud over with sadness now that my crystal ball is gone. If only... If only I had a new crystal ball to gaze into...

^?Is it not true that you recovered a piece of the windmill from beneath the clouds recently, young man?

This shattered crystal ball was salvaged from below by Gondo's ancestor long before it found its way into my delicate hands. There may still be others like it where it came from, yes, yes! Would you search for a new one for me?

Yes.

No.

^?Yesssss... No doubt you can see the gratitude in my eyes!

The robot who originally retrieved this crystal ball was said to have reported that he found it in a building atop a mountain peak! Can you believe it?!

^?I'm counting on you, young man! Without my crystal ball, I cannot gaze into the future. Oh no... My eyes, they would droop with despair... Please bring me a new crystal ball with all haste!

^?...Such a cruel world...

^?Come now! What are you doing here? Hurry and find me a new crystal ball!

^?...Oh! What do my eyes behold?!

This...this is it! You found it! This is exactly the same as the crystal ball I used before!

^?Fates and fortunes! My eyes are wide with the thrill of possibility and damp with tears of gratitude!

I'll be able to start gazing into the future and making predictions at once!

Come by the bazaar again, and I'll tell your fortune for a special price!

^?Please come by the bazaar again when you have the chance!

I'll tell your fortune for a special price!

^?[Link]! I don't suppose you'd be willing to lend an ear to my troubles this time, would you?

What is it?

No, sorry.

^?Hah! Surely it wouldn't cause you pain to listen to one of my concerns for once!

^?Actually, let's talk about this matter another time. Since Kukiel has gone missing, her mother has asked me to help with the search. If you have the time, I'm sure she'd appreciate your help as well.

^?Oh, [Link]! How did it go? Were you able to hear what Levias had to say?

...I see! I was right, then. There is something special about you. I have a feeling you and that vibrant Loftwing of yours will be just fine. The road ahead of you certainly won't be a smooth one, but don't lose faith!

^?Ahem. By the way...would you be willing to listen to a little request of mine as well?

As I'm sure you're aware, I'm the eminent authority on plant collecting in Skyloft. If I do say so myself...

^?Ha! I suppose you do have other matters to be minding. Just don't forget to stop and take a moment for yourself and relax now and again! If you're always so focused on the task at hand, you'll wear yourself out.

^?But you see...I have begun to fear that I have collected everything I can hope to collect. My plant collection now features every known species. I've started wondering if, in light of your travels, there isn't somewhere you might be able to discover something new for me. What do you think? Would you be willing to look for a new plant species for me? Perhaps something exotic... The kind that would turn a few heads?

I'll try.

Maybe later.

^?Oh! Have you decided to help me after all, [Link]?

Collecting exotic plants is my passion!

^?Aha! I knew you would be willing to help me out, [Link].

I'm truly sorry to trouble you, but please try to bring me something rare... Something no one will have seen before!

^?How goes the search for exotic flora? Any luck finding new varieties of exotic plant species?

^?Ha! I knew you would lend me a green thumb, [Link]! Thank you in advance!

^?This...this is... Unbelievable! You've found me an entirely new plant species! It's precisely what I wanted!

^?Hmm... Fascinating! Should this actually be classified as flora or fauna...? I mean, plant or animal?

Hmm... You know, this may very well mark the discovery of a new type of species altogether!

^?OH! How incredible!

The world is still full of new plants waiting to be discovered, isn't it? I can barely contain my excitement!

^?Oh, [Link]! You have no idea what this means to me! Thank you so much!

I'll take great care of this plant...life- form... Whatever it is. If you should happen across any other interesting specimens, be sure to let me know!

^?Oh, [Link]! The world is bursting with undiscovered surprises, isn't it? I wonder how many unidentified plants are still out there.

^?You know, the longer I spend with this plant, the more interested I become!

Just how much of this thing is a plant and how much an animal, do you suppose? Fascinating!

^?Can you believe the Isle of the Goddess is gone? The thought boggles the mind.

I couldn't believe it until I went and confirmed the truth of it with my own eyes!

Terrible though it is, the headmaster has informed me that it was a price we had to pay to save Zelda. We're counting on you to find her!

^?Keeee-paleeep! I'm not used to getting stared at like this. It's making me blush!

^?This guy here says people will probably be surprised when they see me because I don't look like a plant, koo-kwee.

So in the meantime, kew-kaloo, I've been told to sit here and not move a leaf.

This isn't any different from my life in the forest, kweee!

^?You feel a suspicious presence emanating from within the room.

119-Captain.msbt

^?Hey! It's [Link]!

So you still want to get in some sword practice, even though today is the Wing Ceremony? I'm impressed.

The sword is in the back room. Go on back there and get it.

I'll be here for a while, so if there's anything you don't understand about handling a sword, go ahead and ask.

^?Oh yeah? You want to learn about how to use a sword?

Yes, please.

No, thanks.

^?That's right. You're good with a sword.

But practice is everything! You don't become a sword master sitting on your rear end.

You've got to practice those fundamentals, like using [Z] to target enemies. It's not glamorous, but that's a swordsman's bread and butter.

^?OK! Just swing the Wii Remote to swing your sword!

Swing the Wii Remote vertically to do a vertical slash, and swing it sideways to do a side slash.

Thrust the Wii Remote forward to do a thrust!

And then there's the spin attack, a more advanced technique. To do that, swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk together in a sideways motion. If you remember these moves, you can handle yourself in any fight.

Just remember the fundamentals! Always press [Z] to target an enemy as soon as you see it.

^?Try getting in some good practice on those logs!

If the sword doesn't respond quite the way you want it to, try big vertical overhead practice swings in front of you, then get back to the action. Once you've sliced up those logs, I'll set it up so you can try out your big move.

^?Hey! [Link]!

^?You can't take swords outside of the Sparring Hall.

What do you think you're doing sneaking out with that?!

^?What? Your Loftwing is missing? You want to go look for it?

Well I guess I could make an exception just this once. But remember that Skyloft is a peaceful place. Only knights carry swords! So I don't want to see you swinging it around like crazy out there! I don't want to get in a ton of trouble over this, so here's the deal... Make sure you get plenty of practice on these logs first, and once you get outside with that sword, only use it when you absolutely have to, got it?

^?[Link]... The headmaster told me about Zelda. Poor girl... I'm worried about her...

Now, I don't know all the details of what's going on here...

But that sword you're carrying isn't from Skyloft. It's an ancient artifact that can only be carried by the chosen one. And since you happen to be the one carrying it, I guess I can figure out a lot of the rest of this crazy story...

^?The art of the shield is the art of defense. You don't have a chance of winning a battle if your attack and defense aren't balanced. You can get a shield at the bazaar. Always practice with a shield in your hand. It will lead you to the way of the sword! I'm telling you all this for your benefit, so pay attention!

^?Impressive, [Link]! That's a nice shield you have there. Well then, it's time I taught you the art of defense! We'll start with basic training!

^?Give your Nunchuk a shake to take your shield out. Simple stuff, I know, but you need to review the basics!

To lower your shield, swing your sword with the Wii Remote, or press [A] to put your sword and shield away entirely.

Just be careful when trying to attack while on the defensive. Every time you swing your sword, you move your shield out of the way, lowering your guard!

^?Why don't you try that first!

^?Oh? Ready to talk more about the secrets of defense?

Practical stuff.

Basics!

No, thanks.

^?Practical stuff? OK!

If you ready your shield right before an enemy attacks you, the force from your shield arm will repel the enemy's attack. This technique is called a shield bash, and it will make the enemy recoil, giving you an opening in which to attack. This technique is very useful against enemies who throw weapons at you or just refuse to give you an opening for attack.

^?In a real battle, pulling off a defensive shield maneuver requires perfect timing. Believe me, you really don't want to miss. Why don't you put what you learned to use with that defense-practice log?

^?I wish there was something else I could do for you, [Link]... Wait, maybe there is... Yes! Get a shield and come back here! Then I'll be able to teach you the secrets of defense! It's the least I can do for you.

^?I see... Well, trying it out for yourself is the best way to learn. Why don't you practice on that defense log?

^?You know, [Link]... I just wish there was more I could do for you...

But I can offer this as a parting gift... Get ready to learn some new moves! It's time to learn the secrets of defense. First, we should start with the basics!

^?That's a log for practicing your vertical slash. Hold the Wii Remote straight up, and then swing it straight down to make a clean cut!

^?That's a log for practicing your side slash. Hold the Wii Remote horizontally, and then slash it to the side to make a clean cut!

^?That log is set up for practicing your diagonal slash. Swing the Wii Remote diagonally to cut right along the gash in the log.

^?That's a log used for practicing your thrust. Sharply move the Wii Remote forward to thrust your sword.

^?That log there is for practicing defense. You don't have a shield yet, so don't mess with it, or it'll send you flying!

^?That log is used to practice defense.

Hit the log with your sword, and then sharply move the Nunchuk forward to execute a shield bash when it swings back at you.

^?That log is used to practice defense. You don't have a shield equipped, though, so don't mess with it, or it'll send you flying!

^?You really are a strong swordsman. Easy to teach too. You make this instructor proud!

Are you ready to try a spin attack?

OK!

Not yet.

^?Great! Now I'm going to surround you with logs. You need to cut them all without moving from that spot!

All you have to do is swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk horizontally at the same time.

Give it a shot!

^?Good one!

^?That's right, [Link]!

^?What's the matter, [Link]? You don't seem your usual self.

^?Stand in the center of a pack of enemies, and swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk horizontally at the same time. That's how you do a real spin attack. Do you want to try again?

Please!

Nah...

^?That sure looked like it felt good!

So... Why don't you try a fatal blow to close out our session?

Sure!

Nah.

^?All right! When your enemy is down, target it with [Z] and swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk at the same time to land a fatal blow. Do a side slash on that log. When it's down, try finishing it off with this technique!

^?That's the way!

^?A fatal blow is also an effective move to use right after you've used your shield or a well-placed spin attack to knock an enemy on its back. Oh, but monsters don't stay down for long, so you'll have to swing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk quickly before they get back on their feet!

^?Hey! [Link]! Have you been working hard on your swordsmanship?

Hmm? I smell something...

I know that earthy aroma! Isn't that my favorite pumpkin soup?!

I asked the owner of the Lumpy Pumpkin to bring me some, but...

You went out of your way to deliver some to me?!

That's right!

Uh, no...

^?Huh... I told Pumm to bring some right away, so what is he doing? You do not want to be around me when I don't get my daily pumpkin soup.

^?YES! Give it to me!

Here you go!

Sorry...

^?What?! Weren't you asked to bring this to me? You think you can tease me like this? You DO NOT tease a man about pumpkin soup! If this soup isn't good anymore, you're going to have to go get me some more!

And it had better be hot!

^?Ugh! This is disgusting... It's cold!

^?If there are two things I can't stand in this world, it's cold soup and slackers. Now bring me another one--and make it hot!

^?Mmm! This is the stuff!

Pumpkin soup is best piping hot!

^?Well done! Say thanks to the owner for me!

^?Sooo good!

^?Hey...did you happen to bring more piping-hot pumpkin soup?! It looks sooo good...

Uh...here.

...

^?... ...

HAH! Just joking around with you!

^?Oh! For me?! I mean, sorry for just assuming it was for me...

Well, in that case, I'll help myself!

^?Yeah! That hits the spot!

I tell you, morning, noon, or night, nothing satisfies like Pumm's yummy pumpkin soup!

^?Thank you, [Link]! Here's a token of my appreciation.

^?Send my regards to the owner of the Lumpy Pumpkin!

120-Nushi.msbt

^?Tell me, boy, was it you who brought me this most delectable cauldron of pumpkin soup?

I must apologize for my earlier behavior. A most peculiar and irksome pest possessed me. I was not myself.

But that business is done with now! The delicious aroma of that soup has restored me to my senses.

^?I am the great spirit they call Levias. Before she passed from this world so long ago, the goddess, Hylia, appointed me as warden of the skies. And what do they call you, boy? Ah, [Link], is it? A rather pleasing name, that. Your parents clearly have excellent taste in names! Hmm... You carry a curious sword, boy. And I sense a silent power dwelling somewhere in that little frame.

Ah, I see it now. [Link], you are the goddess's chosen hero. How interesting...

I assume you've come to hear what I know of the Triforce.

Right.

You know?

^?Do I know? You do realize you are speaking to the great sky spirit, do you not? Bahhh. No matter.

^?As I suspected... Listen closely, and I will tell you.

As you likely know, long ago, an evil force attempted to take the Triforce for his own.

The goddess did everything in her power to prevent it from falling into his hands.

For the safety of all things, she hid the Triforce somewhere within the rock you call Skyloft. However, its location has been kept secret. Even I do not know where it rests now. Oh, but the goddess did entrust me with a hint as to the Triforce's location.

The clue is a song, meant to be played on the harp you hold. It is known as the Song of the Hero.

^?The song is the key to revealing the secret location of the Triforce.

^?The goddess split this song into four parts. She entrusted one part to me and the other three to the dragons of the land. You must gather each of the parts of the Song of the Hero. Seek out the dragons, and convince them to teach you their parts. When they've taught you what they know, come to me and I will complete the song with my own voice!

The dragons can be found at Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano, and Lanayru Desert. Go on, then. Find the dragons you now seek!

^?Ho-hohoho! How goes your quest, boy?

You must learn the three parts of the the Song of the Hero known to the dragons and then return to me once more! The dragons reside in Faron Woods, Eldin Volcano, and Lanayru Desert. Go and find those dragons!

^?Gather the parts of the Song of the Hero from the three dragons and then return to me.

Then I shall complete the tune with my own performance!

It's been quite a while since I last sang. Ahem-hem... I do believe some vocal exercises are in order...

^?Surely you understand what you need to do now. The song opens a doorway to a trial. The entrance to it is hidden somewhere in the sky. If you persevere through this trial, the path to the Triforce will be revealed to you, my boy.

^?Ho ho! Astonishing. I see you've finally found the location of the Triforce!

^?Ho hoho! So you now hold the Triforce, do you? Astonishing!

^?You know what you must do. Go, and do not stray from the path you know you must walk.

^?I'm unloading this cargo of pumpkin soup here.

You've picked an odd place for soup delivery. Feels dangerous. Something could jump out at us at any moment, hungry for soup...or robot.

^?I'm out of here! See you around, zzzrt!

121-AkumaKun.msbt

^?Stop! Please! I beg of you... don't hurt me!

Oh goodness, I know how bad this must look to you right now, but I assure you I mean no harm! We were just playing the scream-as-loud-as-you-can game!

^?Isn't that a fun game...? Oh, dear... Perhaps an explanation is in order!

My name is Batreaux, and I am a monster who resides here in this humble dwelling below Skyloft.

But please allow me to correct one popular misconception. While I'm certainly a monster, I wouldn't dream of terrorizing the people of this town! You see, this adorable little girl is the only one who didn't let loose a blood- curdling scream at the sight of me!

Since she began to visit me here, I've felt positively jubilant! You see, my heart's only wish is to become friends with the lovely people of Skyloft. But as you can surely imagine, it has proven quite difficult to break the ice when they are struck with paralyzing fear at the mere sight of me!

^?I assure you, nothing would fill my heart with joy more than to be friends with the fine people of this town.

But as soon as I try to approach any of them and extend my claw in friendship, they run and scream as though they've seen a walking nightmare! Oh, right... Silly me. I've gotten ahead of myself! You see, there is an old tale among my monstrous kin that goes as follows...

^?It seems that when humans make other humans happy, the happy humans produce a substance known as a Gratitude Crystal.

^?Gratitude Crystals are quite amazing! Just looking at them and knowing there was such gratitude in the world could turn me from a monster into a human!

^?Oh goodness, nothing would delight me more than to become a human!

From the moment I laid my regrettably demonic eyes on you, I could tell you had a gentle and generous heart.

^?Won't you please gather Gratitude Crystals and show them to me?

Sure!

Nope.

^?Please, gentle sir! I beg you. Do not make me bend my wings and grovel.

OK, fine.

No chance!

^?Truly?! You'll help me?

^?I've heard that you can obtain pure Gratitude Crystals by helping people solve their troubles!

^?They could also be merely lying about here in Skyloft or elsewhere among the clouds...anywhere you find people!

I'm sure someone with a heart as pure and genuine as yours will be able to see them.

Please, solve some troubles and gather me all the Gratitude Crystals you can find!

^?Any help you can provide will be dearly appreciated. I promise your assistance will not go unrewarded!

^?Oh, dear, I want to be a human so badly it pains me! Please hurry along and gather some Gratitude Crystals...

Just come and show me five to start with. If you do a great kindness for someone, you may even get several at once!

^?Magnificent! Yes, that is truly a Gratitude Crystal! That did not take you long at all.

As a start, can you please bring me five of them?

If you do a great kindness for someone, you may even get several of them at once!

^?That dear girl should be back home safe and sound by tomorrow morning. Give her parents my warmest regards when you see them. Oh, and good luck gathering the Gratitude Crystals I require. To start, please bring me five if you can! That would be so splendid! If you do a great kindness for someone, you may even find several at once!

^?Oh, I want to be a human so badly it pains me! Please hurry and gather more Gratitude Crystals!

Next, come and see me when you've gathered 10 of them!

^?Oh, I want to be a human so badly it pains me! Please hurry and gather more Gratitude Crystals!

Next, come and see me when you've gathered 30 of them!

^?Oh, I want to be a human so badly it pains me! Please hurry and gather more Gratitude Crystals!

Next, come and see me when you've gathered 40 of them!

^?Oh, I want to be a human so badly it pains me! Please hurry and gather more Gratitude Crystals!

Next, come and see me when you've gathered 50 of them!

^?Oh, I want to be a human so badly it pains me! Please hurry and gather more Gratitude Crystals!

Next, come and see me when you've gathered 70 of them!

^?Oh, I want to be a human so badly it pains me! Please hurry and gather more Gratitude Crystals!

Next, come and see me when you've gathered 80 of them!

^?Oh! You've gathered quite a lot of Gratitude Crystals, haven't you? How magnificent!

Please take this as a token of this demon's deepest appreciation!

^?I'm still going to need more Gratitude Crystals to become a human.

Please, won't you aid a poor, unfortunate demon in need?

^?You have made such magnificent progress gathering Gratitude Crystals.

Please just continue helping me a bit longer...

^?I only require a few more Gratitude Crystals to become human. Please help this needy demon a bit more...

^?Ah! Oh dear...now you've done it! You opened it, didn't you?!

Human desire is an insatiable, fearsome thing...even to a demon! But then again, I suppose it's also what makes your kind so intriguing... If your pouch won't open, fear not. That will only happen while you're carrying that medal.

If you leave it at an Item Check, you'll be able to open your pouch once again.

^?Oh gracious me! That is a prodigious quantity of Gratitude Crystals you've brought for me!

This is such an appallingly insufficient reward that my cheeks burn hot with embarrassment, but please...take this!

^?But that's not all I want you to have. Goodness, no. I have so much more thanks to give!

Here, take this too!

^?Oh, you're back! And it does appear you've gathered more Gratitude Crystals!

Oh, my! You've gathered 80 Gratitude Crystals! If I'm not mistaken, that's all the Gratitude Crystals in the whole wonderful world! Thank you! Thank you ever so much!

Please accept this final gift with all of my gratitude.

^?Oh, dear... With this, I now have all the Gratitude Crystals I require to become human!

I wonder if I'll really be able to make the transformation... My heart is aflutter!

^?It's...aghh!

^?Graaauuugh!

^?...Well? How do I look, my dear friend [Link]?

^?...Oh, you needn't even say it. I can tell from the look of sheer astonishment on your face.

^?My appearance has changed so dramatically you've been struck speechless, haven't you?

^?Allow me to tell you this...there's simply no word in your language to describe how grateful I am for your help. I am deeply touched! From now on, I plan to live happily with everyone else. Not as a monster... but as any other person.

^?This is an embarrassingly small token of my gratitude, but I hope it will be useful to you.

^?Well? Were you surprised? I bet for a moment there you could not recognize who was standing before you!

^?It's quite understandable, really. Everything is so new and different, I don't even feel like myself!

^?Oh, thank you so much! Now I can finally walk the streets of Skyloft without fear of eliciting screams!

^?Oh, my! You've gathered 80 Gratitude Crystals! If I'm not mistaken, that's all the Gratitude Crystals in the whole wonderful world! Thank you! Thank you ever so much!

Please accept this final gift with all of my gratitude.

^?Oh, good day, [Link]! I simply can't thank you enough for all your help! I'm overjoyed!

For so long, I wondered what it would be like to casually stroll through the bazaar, and here I am!

And look around... The best part is nobody is screaming in horror!

^?Look how bright and cheery this place is! Such a flurry of color and activity-- it's positively bustling! I could spend all day here just taking it in.

^?No, I beg you! Stop! That chest is not to be opened, under any circumstance! There's something unspeakable inside!

What?

I want to open it.

^?I said NO!

^?That chest contains the infamous evil of the dreaded Cursed Medal.

If you carry that medal with you, you'll find more Rupees than ever before! You'll even have better chances of discovering treasure! You'll... You'll... Oh, don't make me say it!

Sounds handy!

Say...what?

^?It gets worse! Far, far worse...

Any poor soul who holds that medal will find himself unable to open his pouch!

No matter how badly you want to use your potions or shields, they will be denied to you! Can you imagine a more gruesome fate? Please, push any thought of this chest out of your mind forever! You must never think of it again.

^?Now that you mention it, that does sound pretty enticing, but...

^?Good evening, [Link]! I thought I'd take a refreshing stroll around town, and to my surprise there's not a monster to be seen. You don't suppose their disappearance has something to do with me becoming human, do you?

Could be!

No way.

^?Goodness, I suppose you are right...

^?Please, there's no reason to hide your doubts from me.

^?There's no denying that when I was a demon, I must have radiated a fiendish power into my surroundings.

Now that I'm human, it seems that most-unpleasant aura has completely faded from this place, like an odious aroma in the wind! And goodness me, I couldn't be more elated! Now everyone can finally live in peace, and it's all thanks to you.

^?When I figured out that my very presence in Skyloft was causing trouble for its good citizens, it was quite a most unpleasant shock. But now I can put that all behind me! I feel like I'm finally an ordinary resident of Skyloft. Thank you!

^?Next, a dash of pepper...

Delicious! Another culinary delight ready to be savored and enjoyed!

^?Only one thing to do when you're tired: get some sleep. You can sleep anywhere there's a bed, you know?

Skyloft is a different place after the sun goes down. It's no lie.

Find a bed and take a nap to sleep until nightfall. There's all kinds of curious things to enjoy at night...

^?Have you explored Skyloft at night? It's a different place under the cover of darkness.

For example, if you go to the Gear Shop owner's house at night, he'll buy your treasures.

Now it's true there are dangers to be found at night, but a student at the Knight Academy should have no trouble with that. All you have to do is nap in a bed until nightfall. That's it!

^?I haven't seen the fortune-teller much these days...

You knew his crystal ball got broken, right? I just hope he's not sitting at home kicking himself for not foreseeing this.

^?His place is over on the eastern edge of town...

It's a bit too quiet around here without him. Why don't you go check on him? Make sure he's doing all right.

^?Would you mind running over and checking in on him?

His house is on the eastern edge of Skyloft.

^?With the fortune-teller back on the job, this place feels alive again. It's just not the same without him.

^?So the fortune-teller's at home with a case of the blues, eh?

I wonder if he'd come back if we found him a new crystal ball...

^?What?

^?So you're on your way to becoming a knight now, right? Congratulations!

But I'm sure there's still plenty you don't know. Don't forget to press [2] if you need a pointer or two.

^?Hi there! I hope you're pressing [2] whenever you need help.

^?I've been hearing a weird rumor. Apparently, after nightfall, people have been hearing a woman sobbing in the dormitory. I tell you, it gives even a big guy like me the creeps.

^?What? Calling out for toilet paper while you're stuck in the restroom?

Yikes, that's rough. I should know-- I've been there before.

^?Huh? A hand? Reaching out of the stall?

That...that's one way of going about it, I guess.

^?Hey, [Link]! Today's the big day, isn't it? You know, the Wing Ceremony thing!

Win this thing, and you'll get bumped up to the senior class.

^?Here in Skyloft, it's being able to ride a Loftwing that separates the kids from the adults.

And if your goal is to become a knight, well, good technique is even more important. All of us learned to fly the hard way: lots of practice.

^?Ever heard of banging your knuckles against the door? It's called knocking. Barging into someone's house is what most people call...rude. Anyway, you're lucky I'm home. I'm usually over at the bazaar working at my stall, but we're closed for the Wing Ceremony. Most days at work all I can think about is how bored I am, but now that I'm not at work, I'm...even more bored! My life is pretty sad...

^?Is that you, [Link]? What are you doing up so late?

I'm hungry! My mom's still cooking, but it's taking forever. When will it be ready?

^?Heyyy! Up to some late-night mischief, eh? Better watch yourself, or a Remlit will take a bite out of your backside!

Most of us don't go out after dark without a really good reason, y'know?

^?Heyyy, kid! I hope you're putting ol' Scrapper to good use.

He's got a bit of a mouth on him, but he's a robot with a good heart. Well, if robots had hearts...

Just remember to treat him kindly, and everything will work out fine!

^?Good grief! Will you talk to that boy of mine for me?

^?All that lug does is make one filthy mess after another. I swear he leaves a grease spot wherever he sits!

I know he likes tinkering around with his oily doodads, but I'm drowning in dirty laundry here!

That lug?

Sounds tough.

^?That's right! My greasy-fingered son who runs the Scrap Shop in the bazaar!

^?It IS tough! That greasy lug nut is fraying my wires!

^?He's up at unspeakable hours trying to repair that rusty pile of an old robot he inherited!

What he intends to do with that scrap-heap reject is beyond me!

^?I thought he would settle down a bit and maybe even wash his hands now that he's got that robot up and running, but he's still tinkering away! I'm telling you, that boy will never get the grease out from beneath his fingernails. Ah...

^?Pardon me, [Link]. You haven't seen Kukiel, have you?

She's always running off without a word to anyone. I don't know what I'm going to do with her.

I guess she'll never learn unless she runs into trouble one day.

^?Hi, [Link]. Have you seen Kukiel anywhere?

I swear that child can disappear in the blink of an eye! She's quite a magician.

^?Hi, [Link]! This house belongs to Kukiel. Pssst--by the way, that's ME.

I'm gonna go play with my special friend today! It's going to be so much fun!

^?Zzz...let's play...zzz... Uncle Bats!

^?[Link], just look at Kukiel sleeping. She sure is a cutie.

She makes all the hard work I do meaningful and gives me reason to keep on doing it.

No idea who or what "Uncle Bats" is. Silly girl.

^?I wonder where that little mischief maker Kukiel's gone off to now.

Her mom thinks she was kidnapped, but I'm not so sure.

I mean, there's nobody here in Skyloft who would do such a thing, right?

I bet she'll show up sooner or later.

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled, and let us know right away if you see her.

^?I heard you're the one responsible for finding Kukiel!

Thank you so much! Just look at her... She puts her parents through all that worry and heartache, and now she's out like a light.

^?Hey, [Link]! Have you taken a look here recently?

There's not a Keese to be seen. No other angry monsters either...

Been a while since I could take a quiet walk out in the dark...

^?What? Are you serious? You found Kukiel?

What did I tell you? Nobody here in Skyloft would harm a hair on her head!

^?Oh, good evening. It's awfully late, but is there something I can do for you?

^?I still can't find Kukiel!

Would you please help me find her? Just...hurry!

^?Hey there, [Link].

You know what's funny? Folks here call this the Light Tower. It's supposedly here to help people find Skyloft and prevent them from crashing into us. But I've never seen any light coming out of it. I wonder who built it. And why...

You should climb all the way to the top, anyway. There's one amazing view of the goddess from up there.

^?Me?

No, thank you, I'm good right down here. Me and heights, we don't get along.

^?Oh, it's you, [Link]. Looks like Kukiel's run off again.

My wife's in hysterics. She's telling folks our girl's been kidnapped.

But it's Kukiel we're talking about here! You can bet she's just off playing somewhere.

^?Let me know if you see her, OK?

^?Hey, [Link]! Kukiel's come home!

I heard you were the one who found my girl!

Thanks a lot! The missus is grinning from ear to ear.

^?Hi, [Link]!

This is the Light Tower! You should try climbing to the top. It is sooooo cool up there!

^?Such a beautiful day, but we're too busy to enjoy it. Some things never change.

^?Isn't that the truth! The only thing my lug nut of a son is good for is getting grease on his shirt! All I do is laundry, laundry, laundry. It never ends!

^?I hear you! And I'm terrible at washing clothes. I wish I could get someone to do it for me.

^?Did you hear the news? One of the students in the Wing Ceremony has lost his bird. It's gone missing!

^?Oh, really? That's terrible!

^?To tell the truth, I'm not comfortable around birds. It's their talons--they look so sharp and painful!

^?Let me give you some information you might find useful somewhere down the line.

The Knight Academy you and your friends attend produces some first-class Loftwing riders.

Keep your nose to the grindstone, and you might find yourself soaring through the skies and protecting the good folk of Skyloft too. Don't know if you've met 'em or not, but the rescue knights save anyone clumsy enough to fall off of Skyloft.

Only the Knight Academy's seniors are invited to join that group. They're the best of the best!

You might just have what it takes to join them, but don't think it'll be easy. No slacking, you hear!

Guess I should tell you my grandson's one of 'em! Heh heh heh.

^?Heh heh heh. Seems like you're on the road to success, little friend. How 'bout I buy us a beverage?

Thanks!

Nah.

^?Hmph! No time for an old-timer... I see how it is.

^?There's a good lad. Cheers!

^?That's the stuff! There we go!

^?Stop by and chat with me once in a while, you hear? I may be old, but I'm not boring.

^?Let me tell you something that may come in handy.

When you're out on the skies, you might see ring-shaped rocks now and again.

I've heard there's some kind of unknown energy that builds up in the center of those big rocks.

So get this: if you fly your Loftwing through a hole, you'll come blasting out like you were shot out of a cannon.

I hear all the hotshot knights use this trick to cover huge distances in a hurry.

^?Let me share a bit of wisdom with you.

The sky is filled with floating islands of all shapes and sizes. Skyloft just happens to be the one we call home.

And no one knows when they were created or just how it is they stay airborne.

The only thing I can tell you with any certainty is that we owe all of it--and that includes our life here--to the generosity of the goddess.

^?Listen--here's a little information you may find useful.

Are you using those Stamina Potions they're selling over at the bazaar?

It's great stuff! Drink some of that, and your stamina gauge doesn't empty out so darn fast.

And it's not just for running, either!

You can do spin attacks without getting tired so easily! I suggest you carry one around in case you tangle with something big and nasty.

^?You looking to get your grub on? The food here is sooooo good!

You gotta be patient, though. It seems like you wait forever for anything around here.

^?Hi, [Link]. Are you tired? You look beat.

I know how you feel! I'm always up for a quick nap.

You just make yourself at home.

^?Mirror, mirror, on the wall... Who's the loveliest of them all?

^?That IS what you were thinking, right, [Link]?

^?Th-thanks for your help!

^?Don't you mention it!

I guess I should hustle over and say hello to your mother too.

I'm sure she's just like you, Pipit-- trustworthy and dependable.

^?Whoa! Uhhhh, that's moving a bit too fast, don't you think?

^?Of course not! Don't be silly. It's best to get these things sorted out right away.

I hope you'll invite me to your house next time.

^?This is unbelievable... The goddess statue is gone!

Would somebody please explain just what's going on here in Skyloft?

^?And my little girl, Kukiel, still hasn't come home. I'm starting to get worried.

Would you please go and look for her, [Link]?

^?It may look like my master only tinkers with machines as a hobby, bzzt, but that's not the whole story...vrrrrm...

He's building an automatic washing machine for his mother, bzzt-CLANG!

Isn't that great, vrrrrm?

He's not at all like a certain someone I know who drags Mistress Fi around the world without a care for her safety or happiness, bzzat!

^?Man, it feels good to just sit here and relax.

I like to kick back here and spend time thinking about that girl.

Yep, Kina is the best thing about the old pumpkin bar. She's adorable!

^?I wonder what they're talking about over there. It looks pretty serious.

^?Hey! Shouldn't you rush off and look for your bird? I think you should.

^?Hey, mister! Did you know the goddess is gone?

Do you think she got mad and left 'cause I never listen to my mom and dad?

^?HEY!

Oh... I guess it's OK as long as you're going to just sit.

But listen up! THAT is an expensive chair, and if you get it dirty... Well, I can't be held responsible for what happens.

^?You're too late for breakfast. We stopped serving hours ago. You'll have to wait for lunch!

^?Zrrrt! This is the entrance to the volcano! I better get there before Master Shortpants!

^?Uh... I wonder where she's gone...

^?Hey, [Link]! Nice night for a stroll outside, eh? I forgot how nice it feels to be out here at night with no monsters to bother you.

123-Town5.msbt

^?Ahh, [Link]. Welcome.

How's my Pipit doing at school?

^?How's my Pipit doing at school?

He's a real go-getter, unlike myself, so I'm sure I have no reason to worry.

Such a mess!

...

^?Oh, you're right... This place is filthy again. It keeps doing that!

It's just that I hate cleaning, you know. It would be great if someone would clean the place up for me...

^?Oh, what's wrong? You just made a face like you wanted to say something.

^?Ahh, [Link]. Welcome.

So here's the thing, [Link]. My house is terribly dirty...

Pipit is always telling me to do some dusting around here, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

That's why I wanted to ask you if you wouldn't mind cleaning it for me. I'll even pay you, [Link].

I'm on it!

Nah...

^?You will?! Great! I knew you wouldn't leave me to sit in this dusty house, [Link].

What's that? ...A broom? You know, I don't even remember where we keep the crazy thing... ...Or if we ever owned one... Most of the time I just wait for a good strong wind to come along and blow the dust away.

So look, I don't really care how you get the job done--I just want you to blow it all away for me.

So I'll just leave you to it, then!

^?Oh, that makes me so happy! I knew you wouldn't leave me to a life of dirt, [Link].

So I'll just leave you to it, then!

^?Oh...[Link], I was sure you'd help me out!

^?Ahh, [Link]. Welcome.

Do you think you could do some light cleaning for me? I've always hated cleaning...

I'll even pay you...OK?

Sure!

Sorry, no.

^?Welcome, [Link].

My house is all dusty again. Do you mind cleaning it? I'll give you some pocket money...

Sure!

No, sorry.

^?Do you think you could do some light cleaning for me? I've always hated cleaning...

I'll give you some money, OK?

Sure!

No, sorry.

^?Oh, it's so nice to have someone who's going to do some cleaning around here, [Link].

When all the dust is gone, I'll give you some money, so make sure you talk to me afterward, OK?

Or are you already done?

All done!

Not quite.

^?Oh, well then by all means, please continue. I'd start with the floor, as it could really use some work...

There's probably still some dust around the window, the shelves, and the bed as well. You have to keep a sharp eye out to get all of it!

^?Well, that's too bad... Oh well. Let me know if you can help out next time, OK?

^?Hold on there, [Link]. I've got your reward for cleaning the place. Just come on over here.

^?Thank you so much, [Link]!

My home is sparkling clean again! It feels so much better when the place isn't under a blanket of dust.

^?Oh my! There's no more dust in my home! Thank you, [Link]!

You've brightened my day. Come over here, and let me pay you.

^?...I can't let you go without your reward. Watch out--there's some big money coming... BAM, 20 Rupees!

^?If the place gets dusty again, I might need you to come back and tidy it up for me. But I'll pay you again, OK?

^?Oh...one more thing. Don't tell Pipit about this.

He'll only get angry at me for spending money on something he thinks I should be doing myself. You can keep a secret, right?

^?Welcome, [Link].

If my house gets dirty again, you'll be the first to know!

^?Oh. Hi there, [Link]. Are you still working on cleaning the place?

Or are you done for today?

All done!

Almost...

^?Leaving already, [Link]?

If you see Pipit out on patrol, make sure you wave and say hello!

^?Hi there, [Link].

Pipit is really angry with me...

He said I shouldn't be spending our money on a housekeeper.

...

But...you're not exactly a housekeeper, are you, [Link]? That makes it OK, doesn't it?

Anyway, that's good enough for me. As far as I'm concerned, I'll pay you to clean my house anytime it gets dusty.

^?We've been over this, Mom!

^?Calm down, Pipit. Don't get so mad...

^?How could I not be mad?!

It's been obvious lately that you've been giving someone Rupees to clean the house!

I gave you that money so you could buy some bread!

If you keep spending money like this, I won't have any money to go to the Knight Academy!

I didn't take that job patrolling just so you could live a life of luxury!

You've got to stop doing this!

^?Oh... Hey there, [Link]... What could you want at this hour?

^?You...didn't hear any of that, did you? There's no way you heard, right?

Heard what?

Sorry...

^?Nothing... It's nothing.

Anyway, I've got to get back out on patrol! You take care of yourself when you're out walking the streets!

^?Oh... You heard!

It's true. I'm working the night patrol to earn some money!

But don't look at me like that! You're not exactly Mr. Perfect either, are you, Mr. Eavesdropper!

Maybe we should just forget about everything that happened here tonight!

^?Hey, [Link]! It's dangerous out at night, so be careful!

This area is my patrol route.

At night, monsters get really active around here!

It's the duty of a knight to protect the public from any danger!

How admirable!

Duty or job?

^?Admirable?! Nonsense! It's the bare minimum of what people expect from us! We are knights in training, and this is what knights do! That's the Pipit way! All I need are the smiles of the people I protect as my payment!

This is what it means to be a knight. I'm sure you'll understand how that feels one day too, [Link]!

^?[Link]! For shame! Why did you decide to become a knight, anyway?

For the money?! How could you be swayed by the temptation of material gain? Do you have no honor?!

That's the Pipit way! More than money, I love seeing people happy and safe. That's what being a knight is all about!

^?[Link]! One day you'll understand what it is to be a knight! Don't you worry.

^?You...weren't supposed to see that whole spectacle, [Link]. How embarrassing...

I feel so ashamed of my mother sometimes. She's just so lazy sometimes. I don't know what to do.

But I'll be fine. You don't need to worry about me.

I still haven't worked out who did the cleaning for my mother, though...

Who do they think they are, getting involved in our business like that?

^?Hey, [Link]. I'm protecting the peace in Skyloft!

Let's make this a safe place to live, where we all can live in peace!

Umm... Why are you looking at me so suspiciously?

^?Hey, [Link]! It can be dangerous out here at night, so be careful.

Oh, and about that thing the other night... We agreed to keep that secret, right?!

^?Hmm... Recently the monsters that usually roam the town at night are nowhere to be seen.

I wonder what's going on... Not that I'm complaining or anything! Peaceful nights are the best.

^?I love to collect antiques, you know? All the things you see in my house are very old and valuable.

Make sure you don't break anything!

^?You broke my antique!

Next time that happens, we're going to have words!

^?Nooo! How could you?!

^?You broke my antique!

That's it! You break it, you buy it!

Let me see now... That was a very expensive antique, so about 20 Rupees should suffice!

What's that look for? Oh, you think I'm just making that number up?

That's ridiculous! I know the value of every item in my possession, and I intend to be compensated in full!

^?Next time that happens, we're going to have words!

^?You broke my precious antique!

^?That was a very valuable item, so you're going to have to pay me 30 Rupees or so! And I didn't just make that number up!

^?That was a pretty expensive item, so you're going to have to pay me about 20 Rupees! And I didn't just make that number up!

^?That was a pretty nice item, so you're going to have to pay me roughly 10 Rupees! And no...I didn't just make that number up!

^?...But you don't even have enough to pay! Hmph. The nerve!

Then I'll just take what you have on you. And next time, be more careful!

^?...But you don't even have a single Rupee on you!

So you think you can just wander about, penniless, destroying people's things and laughing in their faces when they ask for money in return?! The nerve! I don't even want your money anymore. Just get out of my sight!

^?...Look, I already know you don't have even a single Rupee to your name... SO STOP BREAKING THINGS!

Get out of here!

^?YOU! Did I do something horrible to you in a past life?! Why are you punishing me like this?!

^?Oh. Hey. This is the Item Check. But I bet you're here just to check me out, right? Well don't make a habit of it, OK? Anyway, you need to grab something? Or drop something off?

Yes, please!

No, thanks.

^?Oh. You're back. I'll hold on to anything of yours you want me to.

Something in your pouch today that you want to deposit? Or something you want to pick up?

Yes, please!

No, thanks.

^?Welcome, my darling! I've been waiting for you! You can trust me with anything! Errr, your stuff, I mean...

Anything you want me to hold on to? Or anything you want to pick up?

Yes, please.

No, thanks.

^?Hey. Welcome to the Item Check. ...Oh, it's you again...

You've been coming by a lot recently. You're pretty much the only one who comes by regularly, actually...

Hey...wait a second...

I don't suppose...

You don't come by here just to see me, do you?

Uhh, no.

Yes, it's true.

^?Oh... Right...

Well, of course. That wouldn't even make sense, right?

Oh, it's no big deal that you don't. Not at all.

^?What?! Really?

Yeah, right... You think I'm going to fall for that old line?

But...if it were true, that might be kind of nice...

^?...Oh! I almost forgot. I still have a job to do. Do you have something for me to hold on to?

Yes, please.

No, thanks.

^?Hello. Welcome to the Item Check... Oh.

^?Oh. I, uhh... W-welcome...

What's wrong?

You seem different.

^?Um... Nothing... There's nothing wrong...

^?I... I do? I don't think I do... Maybe you're mistaken?

^?It's not like "Oh, hey, that guy's back! I'm so happy!" or anything like that...

But...if you think about how often we meet, you have to admit that our relationship has gone beyond employee and customer, you know? Oh no... I didn't mean to... What am I saying?!

Please forget everything I just said. OK?

OK, get it together... Be professional... Do you have anything you want me to hold on to?

Yes, please.

No, thanks.

^?...Oh.

^?You... You came to see me! I'm so happy!

...

That's right.

^?Don't stare at me like that. You're making me blush, darling!

^?You...make me so happy... I think I'm going to keel over...

^?Lately, when I think about you, my head gets all fuzzy, my heart races, I get short of breath, and I feel all dizzy... You don't think... Could this be...

Sounds bad.

Yep, it's love.

^?Oh, you're such a tease...

^?Aaaah! I can't believe you just said it out loud! It's so embarrassing!

^?Whoops. Kinda forgot myself there. Back to work!

Now where was I? Oh yeah, I was going to ask you if you wanted me to take care of you forever...

Yes, please.

...

^?Really...? That makes me so happy...

^?Oh no! I am SO sorry! I need to learn how to keep these delirious dreams in check.

...No, wait... Ahh! I mean, are there some items you want me to check? Darling?

Please!

No, thanks.

^?Hello, darling!

Umm... I, uhh... I want you to visit me at my house tonight. I have something I need to say.

My house is just next to the bazaar. You'll definitely come, right? I'll be waiting!

^?Oh, and do you have something you want to pick up or have me store?

Yes, please!

No, thanks.

^?Welcome, darling!

I'm happy to hold on to anything my precious darling needs me to! Anything at all!

Great!

No, thanks.

^?Hello, darling! I'll store anything you want me to here.

Great!

No, thanks.

^?Oh... Welcome, [Link].

Sorry for acting so crazy the other day. I thought long and hard about it, and I'm completely over it now.

There's an old saying that women grow more beautiful after their heart's been broken. I think I know what that means now... And I fully intend to make myself more and more beautiful every day.

No regrets, OK?

So...where were we? Anything to deposit today?

Yes, please!

No, thanks.

^?Welcome, [Link]. Do you have something to deposit with me, the woman who got over her broken heart and is getting prettier by the day?

Yes, please!

No, thanks.

^?Sigh... Isn't there anyone special out there for me? I wonder... I wish I could find someone to share a beautiful love with... Uhh... Hey, buddy, do you mind? Do you always just walk into people's houses without asking permission?

^?No matter how much you may miss me, I don't make it a habit of having customers come around my house when I'm off the clock, you know? Or am I being too self-conscious?

^?Oh, hello! You decided to come see me at home...

You're not trying to tell me I'm your special someone, are you?

^?Hello, darling! Welcome...

You've come to see me at home... I'm so happy!

^?[Link]... You came to see me. Thank you.

The truth is...there's something I'm just dying to get off my chest, [Link].

I'm just going to ask you something point-blank, OK?

^?What do you think about me?

I like you.

You store items.

^?You do? Really?! You're not lying?!

Really!

Lying, actually...

^?I'm so happy! I feel like I'm in a dream. I have to hear it again just to be sure!

Do you really, really, really like me?

I do!

Uh, sorry...

^?You're not lying, are you? I don't know what I'd do if I found out you're lying!

It's true!

I'm lying.

^?...Huh?

M-maybe I didn't ask you the right way...

OK. Let me think here... What am I to you?

Someone I like!

A shopkeeper.

^?Are you serious?! How could you do that to me?!

Oh, wait... I see what's going on here... You're just too shy to admit your true feelings, aren't you?

Yep, I'm shy!

No...

^?No way...

You have no feelings for me? All I am to you is some girl who stores your items? You really think that?

Actually, I like you!

Yep.

^?What? So you really do like me?

I like you!

I'm...sorry.

^?...Thank you! I love you so much, darling! I'm sorry I doubted you and put you through all that questioning!

^?...But I understand your true feelings. Better than you know.

You're saying that you cannot give yourself over to love just yet... That you have much more important things to do right now. You have some kind of serious job you have to attend to first, right?

If you weren't off on an adventure, you probably wouldn't need to come by the Item Check so often.

And that's why I won't ask any more of you. I'll just watch over you, protecting you from afar, keeping a vigilant eye on your items. And when your important work is done, we'll tell my dad we're in love!

Until then, we'll keep our love secret! Darling, I... I'll see you again at the Item Check.

^?...I understand. That's your answer...

I'm sorry for causing you trouble...

^?...Don't. I don't need your sympathy.

I'm fine. I'll get over you quickly...

The next time we meet, I'll greet you as I would any old customer...

^?But tonight I want to be alone...

Goodnight...my darling.

^?I'm glad you told me how you feel, darling. See you soon at the shop!

^?I'm strong. I'll get over you. Please let me be alone with the cold night now...

^?Darling! I told you that we need to keep our relationship secret! If you come over too often, my dad will catch on to us! What could you possibly want this late?

Need to talk!

Nothing.

Deposit items!

^?I'd love to talk forever with you, but my father is staring at us! We can talk another time!

^?Well, aren't you the strong and domineering type? But that's just how I like you, my darling!

^?Well, if that's all you wanted, couldn't you have just come to visit me at the Item Check during the day?

Or are you trying to tell me that that's all I am to you?

^?Oh, [Link]... I never knew it would hurt so much... to have my heart broken...

^?I know I said I'd get over it, but... Sometimes at night, I feel this pain in my chest... I guess that's why they call it a broken heart...

^?I don't know why, but my father has been in a great mood lately...

Does he even realize that his only daughter has just had her heart broken for the very first time? How annoying...

124-Town6.msbt

^?Hey there, friend! What luck you have! You've just stumbled upon me, the infamous Moonlight Merchant!

Don't ask how I get my wares, 'cause I'm not telling!

If there's a rare bauble or two you're dying to get your hands on, I might know a stone who knows a stone who can get them for you...for a price!

^?But...but! Before you go whipping out your Rupees, you should know my wares carry a hefty price tag.

People who come to me usually don't like collecting treasure on their own, or simply can't manage to collect what they need. You sure this is for you?

Sure!

No way.

^?Excellent! So, tell me, what kind of treasure are you in the market for?

Blue Bird Feather

Golden Skull

Goddess Plume

Other.

^?Something else, huh? Well do any of these pique your interest?

Dusk Relic

Evil Crystal

Monster Horn

Other.

^?Sorry, friend, that's all I've got to sell right now. If none of those did the trick for you, you'll just have to find what you're after on your own!

^?OK, one Blue Bird Feather it is! For 200 Rupees, it's all yours!

Sounds good!

Too much.

^?OK, one Golden Skull it is! This baby's all yours for just 200 Rupees.

Sounds good!

Too much.

^?OK, one Goddess Plume coming right up! That'll be just 200 Rupees, friend.

Sounds good!

Too much.

^?OK, one Dusk Relic it is! It's a steal at just 100 Rupees.

Sounds good!

Too much.

^?OK, one Evil Crystal it is! For 100 Rupees it's all yours!

Sounds good!

Too much.

^?OK, one Monster Horn it is! For 100 Rupees it's all yours!

Sounds good!

Too much.

^?Fine then. Folks who walk the straight and narrow are better off not getting mixed up with a shady character like myself anyhow. Know what I'm saying?

^?Puh-leeeze, I've heard that one before. You say it costs too much. I say you probably didn't want it that much in the first place or you'd cough it up!

^?And we have a deal! Here's your not-at-all-shady treasure!

^?Hmm. Looking a little short on funds there, friend. Oh well. When you scrape together the Rupees, you know I'll be here.

^?Hopefully your purchase lives up to your expectations, fella! If you get the itch to buy some more treasure, you know the stone to talk to.

^?Hey there, friend! What luck you have! You've just stumbled upon one of th-- Oh. You again. You looking to buy some treasure or what?

Yep!

Nah...

^?So you're looking to buy then, eh?

Please!

Nah...

^?You're a weird one, climbing all the way up here.

Hey, if you tried to dive off the ledge here, I bet you could land in the nest on top of the tower down there. But what do I know? I'm a stone.

125-D3.msbt

^?Sky Keep

^?Master, I have information to report. I've detected three sources of sacred power within this building. This power clearly radiates from the Triforce. I've triangulated the three sources of power and marked them on your map as %³.

^?Master, I have new information for you. Analysis indicates that the shaking you felt just now was caused by a change in the building's structure.

^?Now that the building's structure has been altered, it appears you can enter the adjacent room.

^?I propose you use this control panel to move through the structure and collect the components of the Triforce.

^?By altering the internal structure of this building, you will be able to gain access to other chambers.

^?Seek the gemstones that sleep behind each statue. If you strike them in order from lowest to highest, the door will open.

^?Master, look over that way.

^?The design carved into the floor there is the mark of Farore.

I detect the sacred power of the Triforce emanating from its vicinity.

^?To reach the area where that mark is located, I propose you pass through the door in front of you.

^?I have identified the design on the floor there as the mark of Nayru.

I detect the sacred power of the Triforce radiating from it. Unfortunately, the way leading to the mark is closed off.

^?I propose you utilize the nearby Timeshift Orb to open a path to the mark.

^?There appears to be a Timeshift Orb over there.

^?The symbol visible on the floor here is the mark of Din.

I detect the sacred power of the Triforce emanating from its vicinity.

^?Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to reach the mark from your current position.

I recommend you find another entrance into this chamber.

^?Master, I have information for you. The chamber you stand in now is the same one where you previously spotted the mark of Din.

^?If you can find a way through the river of magma, I calculate a 60% chance you will arrive at one of the sources of sacred power.

^?Master, I have information for you. I've detected a source of sacred power somewhere within this chamber.

^?I recommend you press forward in search of the power present here.

^?Master [Link], you have reached the mark. Offer your sword to it.

If you do this, I calculate a high probability that you will be shown the way to a part of the Triforce.

150-Siren.msbt

^?Master [Link].

^?You have entered the last of the trials, the Goddess's Silent Realm.

^?When you have filled the Spirit Vessel once more, you shall finally be recognized as the true hero of legend.

Only then will you be shown the door that will lead you to the Triforce. Master, I wish you success in this trial.

Do you have any questions before you face the task ahead of you?

Yes.

No.

^?Which topic do you wish to review?

The Spirit Vessel?

Guardians?

Waking Water?

Never mind.

^?Do you have any further questions?

The Spirit Vessel?

Guardians?

Waking Water?

Never mind.

^?Understood, Master.

^?Master, I await your return in the outside world.

^?Yes, Master.

To fill the Spirit Vessel, you need to locate and collect the Sacred Tears scattered across this Silent Realm.

^?Master, do you see the glowing object a ways in front of you?

^?That is a Sacred Tear. You will need to collect 15 of them.

^?Understood, Master. Allow me to explain.

^?If you take even a single step outside the protective circle you stand in, the Guardians of this realm will wake up and pursue you, Master.

^?If a Guardian manages to land even a single hit on you, your spirit will shatter and you will fail the trial.

^?You must collect the tears scattered throughout this area and fill the Spirit Vessel without being hit by an attack.

^?The unusual liquid substance that covers that area is known as Waking Water, and it has certain unique properties. If you make contact with Waking Water, the Guardians will be immediately alerted to your presence.

Pools of Waking Water are located all throughout the area. I suggest you watch where you step...

^?When your Spirit Vessel is filled with 15 tears, your spirit will grow and you will be blessed by the goddess with a new power. Master, I await your return in the outside world.

^?Master [Link], I can unfortunately confirm that you have failed to pass the trial.

^?Collect all the tears within the Silent Realm. I shall await your return here.

^?Master, so long as you have the will and determination, you can retry a trial as many times as you like.

A good strategy is to find, but then deliberately not pick up, the most- easily-accessible tears until you are discovered and really need one. Collect the 15 tears and complete the trial. I will await your return in the outside world.

^?The locations of tears you have gathered during your trial are marked on the map.

You will have an easier time completing your task if you first set out to discover the locations of all 15 tears.

^?Two types of Watchers patrol the realm, looking for intruders. I highly suggest you take caution.

So long as you do not step into their light, you will remain undetected by flying Sky Watchers.

However, the Earth Watchers, who hover near the ground, will give chase if you come too close to them, so stay alert and maintain a safe distance.

^?Master, the chances of your not being the chosen hero are increasing...

Repeated attempts at this trial have scattered your concentration and made your performance erratic. I suggest you rest awhile before trying again.

^?I suggest using smart tactics to your advantage. Try leaving easy-to-collect tears for when you are being pursued.

^?The locations of tears that you have previously collected will be marked on the map, so make good use of that.

Confirm the locations of all 15 tears first to increase your chances of successfully completing the trial.

^?Master, in addition to the Guardians who will attack you, there are also two types of Watchers that search for intruders on the ground and in the sky. The two types of Watchers exhibit dramatically different behavior, so be sure you understand how to avoid detection by both.

^?Here we are, [Link]! Show me what you got!

199-Demo.msbt

^?This is a tale that you humans have passed down through uncounted generations...

^?It tells of a war of unmatched scale and ferocity, the likes of which would never be seen again.

^?One dark, fateful day, the earth cracked wide and malevolent forces rushed forth from the fissure.

^?They mounted a brutal assault upon the surface people, driving the land into deep despair...

^?They burnt forests to ash, choked the land's sweet springs, and murdered without hesitation.

^?They did all this in their lust to take the ultimate power protected by Her Grace, the goddess.

^?The power she guarded was without equal.

^?Handed down by gods of old, this power gave its holder the means to make any desire a reality.

^?Such was the might of the ultimate power that the old ones placed it in the care of the goddess.

^?To prevent this great power from falling into the hands of the evil swarming the lands...

^?the goddess gathered the surviving humans on an outcropping of earth.

^?She sent it skyward, beyond the reach of the demonic hordes. Beyond even the clouds.

^?With the humans safe, the goddess joined forces with the land dwellers and fought the evil forces, sealing them away.

^?At last, peace was restored to the surface.

^?This is a tale that you humans have told for many ages, generation to generation...

^?But there are other legends, long hidden away from memory, that are intertwined with this tale.

^?Now, a new legend bound to this great story stands ready to be revealed.

^?A legend that will be forged by your own hand.

^?Rise, [Link]... The time has come for you to awaken...

^?You are fated to have a hand in a great destiny, and it will soon find you...

The time has come for you to awaken...

[Link]...

^?Hey, sleepyhead. I know how much you like to sleep in, so I'm guessing this letter will be your alarm clock this morning. Did I guess right? Rise and shine, [Link]! Today's the Wing Ceremony! You promised to meet me before it starts, remember? You'd better not keep me waiting. -Zelda

^?Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess... Unite earth and sky... Bring light to the land...

^?Hey! Good morning, [Link].

^?I'm glad to see my Loftwing got you out of bed.

I was pretty sure you'd sleep in and forget to meet me this morning.

^?But look at this instrument! And look at this outfit! They're mine to use today in the ceremony, since I'll be playing the role of the goddess.

^?Aren't they beautiful? Especially this instrument! They tell me it's just like the one the goddess was said to have in the legends. It sounds gorgeous too. I asked Father about it, and he says it's called a harp.

^?And look at these clothes! I made this wrap myself, and we get to use it in today's ceremony!

Between the harp and this outfit, I'm going to make a great goddess today!

I got you up early this morning because I wanted you to be the first to see me like this, [Link]!

^?So...how do I look?

Great!

Uh...

Nice...costume.

^?Hah, I think so too! But it's nice to know you agree. Thanks, [Link].

^?Really...? You know...maybe it does look a little weird...

^?And what exactly is THAT supposed to mean, you goof? If you think I look silly, just come out and say it.

^?Ah, there you are, Zelda. Are you all prepared for today's ceremony?

^?Oh, hello, Father.

^?Ah, [Link], you're here too. Outstanding.

It's encouraging to see you up so early, given your capacity for sleep. No doubt today's ceremony had you too excited to close your eyes for once!

^?If you win today's ceremonial race, you'll get to participate in the postrace ritual with Zelda, so give it your best out there.

^?Yes. About that...

^?Father, I don't know if he can do it!

Recently [Link] hasn't been practicing much at all for the ceremony!

^?And even when he's out riding his Loftwing, he's just lazily gliding around. Probably daydreaming!

I don't know what he's thinking. He's going to have to be in perfect control of his bird to win today.

^?No need to worry yourself, Zelda.

Though you may have a point. Today's Wing Ceremony tests the skill of the rider as well as his bond to his bird. Victory will not come easily.

^?And, as you pointed out, I haven't seen him practicing as hard as some of the other students.

But you've known him since you were both very little. You should know better than to fret about him!

You see, [Link] and his Loftwing share a special connection. I've never seen anything quite like it.

^?As you know, each of us in Skyloft is but one half of a pair.

We are only made whole by our Loftwings, the guardian birds that the goddess bestows upon each of us as a symbol of her divine protection.

^?When we are young, every one of us meets our Loftwing under the great Statue of the Goddess. It's quite a big moment, as I'm sure you recall.

^?Ahh, but that first meeting between [Link] and his Loftwing was extraordinary.

The bird that came to him was a Crimson Loftwing. It is a breed so rare we were sure for some time that it had vanished from the line.

^?Yes, and the boy and his bird seemed to share a profound connection from the moment they met.

Do you recall when [Link] and that Loftwing of his first met? What a sight!

The little boy just hopped up on that bird and gracefully flew away, without even a moment of instruction! They were meant for each other. And judging by how jealous you were that day, I'd say the friendship he shared with his bird didn't go unnoticed by you, my dear.

^?Ah, but who can blame you? I'm sure you weren't the only one envious of the powerful bond shared by [Link] and his bird. Anyone who is a part of something special is bound to catch some nasty looks sooner or later, hoo hoo.

^?This contest is nothing to laugh at, Father! This ceremony is part of the final test for those training to become knights of Skyloft!

^?If [Link] doesn't fly fast enough during the race...

^?What if [Link] messes up his big chance... What if he's not allowed to become a knight?

^?Calm down, my dear. It will be fine.

Honestly, it's almost as though you become a completely different person when you worry about [Link].

^?Listen, [Link], you'd better fly your heart out today. At the very least, you need to squeeze in a little practice time before the race!

^?Come on! You'll thank me later!

^?Here we are. Go on now. Jump off the edge and call your Loftwing. It's almost time for the ceremony, so try to practice seriously for once! Hmm? Oh yeah? You can't "sense" your bird out there?

Oh, I get it. You're trying to weasel out of having to practice! Nice try, but you're not fooling me.

^?Off you go!

^?OK, [Link], go ahead! Just press [d-pad down] and call your Loftwing!

^?Hmm... His bird sure is taking a long time to get here...

^?Something's wrong!

^?Hang in there, [Link]! I've got you!

^?Are you two all right?

^?I'm sorry, friend. I didn't mean to push you so hard. You didn't sprain your wing, did you?

^?This is very odd, [Link]. What could have possibly happened to your Loftwing?

For a bird to ignore the call of his master... It's unheard of!

^?And you still can't sense your bird nearby, eh, [Link]?

This is quite a problem, especially considering the Wing Ceremony is about to start...

^?[Link], when you said you couldn't sense your Loftwing, well... I should have believed you. ...I'm sorry.

^?I need to tend to my own Loftwing, so I'll catch up with you later.

You'd better go on ahead and see if you can find where your bird has gone!

^?My, how did it get to be so late? If I recall correctly, this year Instructor Horwell is presiding over the ceremony. [Link], you should go explain the situation to him and see if he's willing to delay the race a little so that you can find your bird.

^?But, Father, you're the headmaster of the academy! If [Link] asks Instructor Horwell, he'll probably just come talk to you about it.

^?Ah, quite true. As usual, you make an excellent point, my dear.

Very well, I'll explain the situation to him myself. [Link], run along and tell Instructor Horwell to come see me in my quarters.

^?...You know, Groose, that sure was a pain, what with all the scratching and pecking.

^?Course it was. You thought a big Crimson Loftwing like that was gonna go down without a fight?

^?But we got him, and I don't care how tough those birds are supposed to be. He's not getting out of that pen anytime soon, boys.

^?Whoa! [Link]! So, uh...yeah. Just how long you been standing there?

^?What's your problem, anyway? Oh, wait...I got it. You're here to talk about today's race. I can see it in those dopey eyes of yours. They're pleading, "Oh, Groose, can you please find it in your heart to let me win today? Please!"

You're just desperate to win so you can get some alone time with Zelda up on the Statue of the Goddess at the end of the ceremony.

^?Well, sorry, pal. Groose doesn't do charity for wimps. My advice? Work hard and wish with all your heart. You might even come in second.

^?...Say, come to think of it, how come I don't see your bird? Where is that scruffy pile of red feathers?

^?I can't imagine what could've happened to him. Do you think his tiny brain got confused by all the clouds and got lost?

Bring it on.

Give him back!

Nice hair.

^?Pfft. Sure. Only thing is, I don't know how you're going to do that with no bird! You gonna grow wings?

^?Huh? I've got no idea what you're talking about.

^?You lay off my do right now, or I'll flatten you. Everyone knows I've got the slickest pompadour in town.

^?You know, we're all getting tired of how you never let anyone forget you and Zelda go way back.

^?You've been friends since you were kids? Big deal. It doesn't change the fact that you float through life with your head in the clouds.

^?Would you wake up, straighten up, and grow a backbone already?

^?Dopes like you are dragging our honored academy through the mud.

^?And just who might you be talking about, Groose?

^?Oh...Zelda. Hey. Nah, it's...uh...

^?Don't even try it, Groose! You're picking on [Link] again, aren't you?

^?He's a student at the academy, like all of us.

^?Why do you insist on bullying him around so much?

^?Yeah... I suppose...

^?You suppose? Suppose what?

^?I...suppose...you... Er...

^?Pfft! Forget it. I wasn't supposing anything, OK?

^?OK, we're outta here, boys. Later, [Link]! Hope you find your bird, or else you're gonna have to sit out today's race!

^?That could be a major setback toward knighthood, so find that bird or get real used to the taste of failure! It's your special flavor.

^?I hate to say it, but I'm beginning to suspect that those blockheads had something to do with your Loftwing's disappearance. [Link], those guys aren't going to help us find your bird, so we'd better start searching.

^?I'll fly around Skyloft and see if I can spot any trace of your bird.

^?Father said he'd talk to Instructor Horwell about delaying the start of the Wing Ceremony, so don't worry. We'll find your bird in time.

^?We should hurry, [Link]. Now that your Loftwing is free, you should fly to the ceremony...

^?But before you go, I have to ask you something. I...I heard this voice a few moments ago. Did you hear it too?

^?It's been happening a lot lately. It's the strangest feeling... Almost like someone is calling out to me.

^?Have you ever wondered what's beneath the clouds?

Some say that it's an empty, barren place, or even that there's nothing at all down below, but I just have this feeling that they're wrong. Some of Father's old texts talk about a place called the surface. The old tales describe a whole world under there, far more vast than Skyloft! The thing is, no one's ever been down there to see it, and our Loftwings won't fly through the cloud barrier.

...But I can't help imagining the wild things that might be waiting below. Someday, I want to see for myself.

^?Oh, sorry, [Link]. We don't have time to talk! Let's get going. Look, your bird's waiting for you!

Just leap off the edge and press [d-pad down]. Don't worry about falling. Your bird will catch you for sure this time!

^?[Link]!

^?Don't worry--I'm fine!

^?Great flying, [Link]! Congratulations!

^?Now we'd better get on with the ceremony!

^?[Link], hand me that Bird Statuette you grabbed in the race. I must offer it to the goddess.

^?Great goddess, guiding light and protector of our people, grant us your blessing and mercy as I act in your stead during this ceremony.

^?Valiant youth who grasped victory at the celebration of the bird folk... In accordance with the old ways...

I now bestow the blessings of the goddess upon you.

^?The blessings of the goddess drift down from the heavens aloft a sail, which I now pass on to you.

^?You got the Sailcloth!

Now you can jump from any height without fear of a painful landing!

...It smells nice too.

^?[Link]! Quit goofing. This is supposed to be a sacred ritual, remember?

^?You know, they say that the goddess gave the Sailcloth to her chosen hero long ago.

Of course, the one you're holding isn't the same one. I've been working hard to finish making this Sailcloth in time to give it to today's champion. I'm really glad I got to give it to you, [Link]. Make sure you take good care of it, OK?

^?Thanks for making it up here to do this with me today like you promised, [Link].

^?Now we really should finish up this ritual...

^?You...do know what happens at the end, right?

Nope.

Uh-oh...

Sort of...

^?Really? Huh. I thought you would've figured it out by now.

^?And just what are you thinking? Don't be silly. This is your big moment, [Link].

^?Heehee, I'm glad you're so well informed on the subject.

^?You have to jump off the statue!

^?Look down. See that big, round design on the courtyard below?

To finish the ceremony, you need to drop down right into the center of it!

Leap off the edge here. Right before you hit the ground, press [B] to open up your Sailcloth!

Just how brave are you? If you were really fearless, you'd wait until the last second to use your Sailcloth. ...So, ready to jump?

^?That was perfect! You're amazing, [Link]!

^?You know, [Link], seeing as how you won today...

^?And with the weather being so nice...

^?You think maybe you'd like to, you know, go fly around the clouds together?

^?...[Link]? Hey, [Link]!

^?Today was amazing. Watching you win the race and performing the ritual together... I'll always remember this.

^?It really was wonderful.

^?You know... [Link]...

^?There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about...

^?What is that?

^?What's going on?

^?Ahhh! [Link]!

^?[Link]...?

^?I am waiting for you.

The time has come for you to awaken.

You are vital to a mission of great importance.

^?[Link]...

^?...Ah, you're awake.

^?When your Loftwing carried you back, you were limp and unconscious. I feared the worst.

Fortunately, you don't appear to have any serious injuries. For that much we can be grateful.

^?But, [Link]... Where's Zelda? She was with you, was she not?

...What's happened to my daughter?

^?A black tornado, you say? Hmm. That was no ordinary storm.

^?You must not push yourself. You're still recovering.

Tell me, when you saw Zelda today, did anything about her seem...off?

^?I see. She was talking about the surface then?

And you've been having dreams about a "great mission"? How interesting...

^?I'm sorry. I was lost in thought there for a moment. It's all very strange, but I doubt there's much of a connection between these things. I'm concerned for Zelda, but so long as she's with her Loftwing, I'm sure she'll be fine.

Either way, daybreak has yet to arrive. It would be very difficult to spot one girl and her bird in the dark of night. It would also be very dangerous.

^?Rest now, [Link]. Zelda's going to be fine. She's out there alive. I know it.

^?The one chosen by my creator. I have been waiting for you. You will play a role in a great destiny.

^?According to your social customs, I should provide you with my personal designation. Fi is the name I was given.

I was created for a single purpose, long before the recorded memory of your people.

I must aid you in fulfilling the great destiny that is your burden to carry.

^?Come, [Link]. You must take up this sword. As the one chosen by my creator, it is your destiny.

^?The strange dreams troubling your sleep. My sudden appearance. Uncertainty surrounding the fate of one you hold dear. Under the circumstances, it is only logical that you would exhibit some apprehension.

^?To minimize your uncertainty, allow me to share some information.

My projections indicate that this information has a high probability of altering your current emotional state.

^?The one you seek, honorable Zelda, is still alive.

^?And this spirit maiden...the one you call Zelda...is another chosen one fated to be part of the same great mission.

Therefore, should you wish to meet with your friend, I highly recommend you take up this sword before you set out to search for her.

^?Does that information invigorate you? Are you ready to accept this sword?

^?It seems that further persuasive measures will not be required.

In the name of my creator, draw the sword and raise it skyward.

^?Recognition complete, Master...

[Link]... My master.

^?[Link]!

^?I've had my suspicions, but until now I wasn't sure.

Yet here we are in the Chamber of the Sword, the very place where it was foretold the youth of legend would one day appear.

^?It is said that this place was left to our people by the goddess herself.

The very knowledge of this room's existence is a secret passed down to a select few each generation, along with a handful of words...

^?When the light of the goddess's sword shines bright, the great apocalypse will wake from its long slumber.

Do not fear, for it is then that a youth, guided by my hand, shall reveal himself in a place most sacred.

^?It started days ago. The sword that I've kept secret all these years... It began to give off a faint, otherworldly light.

^?At first I was sure I was seeing things, here alone with the sword. There was simply no other explanation.

I never dreamed the prophecy of legend would come to pass in my lifetime.

^?The words I have sworn to keep secret are coming true before my very eyes.

The youth will be guided by one born of the blade--one who is also youthful in likeness yet wise with knowledge immeasurable.

^?Ah yes, the oral tradition, one of the least reliable methods of information retention and transmission.

It appears that critical sections of the passage have been lost over the generations.

^?The youth who draws forth the guiding sword shall be known as the goddess's chosen hero, and it is he who possesses an unbreakable spirit. He shall be burdened with the task of abolishing the shadow of apocalypse from the land. Such is his destiny.

With the spirit of the blade at his side, he shall soar over the clouds and plummet below...

...And united with the spirit maiden, shall bring forth a piercing light that resurrects the land.

^?Some of Father's old texts talk about a place called the surface.

The old tales describe a whole world below, far more vast than Skyloft!

^?Master, you must embark on a great journey beneath the clouds to the vast realm of the surface.

It is only through this journey that you can fulfill the mission set before you by my creator, the goddess.

It is also the only method available for you to reunite with the spirit maiden, honorable Zelda.

^?This is no easy task, [Link]. The world below is a forsaken place, and to reach it you must pierce the cloud barrier below. In living memory, no one has ever done this.

^?This tablet will illuminate a path through the clouds to the land below.

Take it, and place it within the altar behind me.

^?You got the Emerald Tablet! The weathered surface of this heavy stone tablet feels very old.

^?Master, the first thing you must do is hit the crest sitting in this room with a Skyward Strike.

These blasts are formed of pure energy that charges within your blade when you lift it skyward.

Once you have charged your blade, face the crest and swing your sword to send out a powerful Skyward Strike.

^?Master [Link], it is done.

^?Until now, a cloud barrier created by the goddess has separated the world you know from the one below.

The tablet you placed in the altar has opened a small rift in the barrier. You can use it to travel through the clouds to the realm below. I have recognized you as my master, and so it is my duty to follow you wherever you may go.

I reside within your sword and will accompany you in your travels. Press [d-pad down] to summon me whenever you require my assistance.

^?[Link], listen a moment. The nature of the great apocalypse mentioned in the old texts is a complete mystery to me. But whatever it turns out to be, it seems that both you and Zelda have big roles to play in the destiny of this land.

Just think--if what this Fi says is true, Zelda is alive! Alive and no doubt coming to terms with whatever it is the goddess has in store for her. Should you heed the call of destiny, I don't know what dangers you may have to face, [Link]. Especially down there... But if you've decided to brave the unknown, please find my daughter and bring her back to me.

^?What we've seen here today defies explanation, but it is only the start of your journey. Please, see it through and prove the legends true.

OK!

No way.

It's so much...

^?You do your people proud, [Link]!

^?I understand how you feel, but this is destiny itself calling for you. You must not run from it, [Link]!

^?Ah... I'm sorry, [Link]. I know it's a heavy load to shoulder, but you're the only one who can bear its weight.

^?Dawn is drawing near. It has been a long night for the both of us, hasn't it?

You have a great journey before you, [Link], and those clothes... They don't look up to the task.

The uniform you were to receive for winning the race should be ready by now.

A sturdy uniform like that will prove much more suitable for a long journey. You'd better change before you go.

^?That green uniform is what our knights will be wearing this year. To be honest, I've had my doubts about the color.

But oddly enough, seeing you wear this uniform, I can't imagine a more fitting color for you. It's as though you were born to wear it.

^?Take care on your journey, and be sure to stop by some of the shops at the bazaar here in town to equip yourself properly for the travels ahead. I will return to my quarters and see if I can glean more useful information from the ancient texts.

You are always welcome to stop by if you have questions. You and Zelda shall be in my prayers. May the goddess watch over and guide you both.

^?Master [Link], I have important information.

When you struck the crest with a Skyward Strike from your sword, a message from the goddess awakened deep within my memory. The goddess intended this message for you, Master. These are her words.

^?He who seeks the sacred flames, listen well, for I guide you from my place at the edge of time.

^?The sacred flames are three in number. To obtain them, you must also earn relics known as the three sacred gifts.

For each trial you overcome, you shall be blessed with one of the gifts...

^?Make use of the power of these gifts, and you will find your way to the purifying sacred flames.

Now, I bestow unto you a melody. It will serve you as a key, opening the first trial that awaits you deep in the wilds of Faron Woods.

^?That song is called Farore's Courage. Its rousing melody will guide you.

^?You learned Farore's Courage!

^?Master, you must overcome the trials set before you and obtain the three gifts to reach the sacred flames.

I have committed Farore's Courage to memory. Now you can use your dowsing ability to search for the gate leading to the first trial you must face. I suggest you set out for Faron Woods as soon as you are ready.

^?Master [Link], I have important information.

When you struck the crest with a Skyward Strike from your sword, a message from the goddess awakened deep within my memory. The goddess intended this message for you, Master. These are her words.

^?He who seeks the sacred flames, listen well, for I am the one guiding you from my place at the edge of time.

^?Two sacred flames remain. Should you desire to possess them, you must obtain the other sacred gifts.

For each trial you overcome, you shall be blessed with another gift.

^?Harness the power of these gifts, and let there be no doubt you shall find yourself standing before the majesty of the sacred flames. Now, I give you another melody. It will serve as a key to unlocking your next trial, which awaits you within the shifting sands of Lanayru Desert.

^?The song you just heard is called Nayru's Wisdom. Use this song of knowledge to find the next trial.

^?You learned Nayru's Wisdom!

^?I have memorized Nayru's Wisdom for you. You can now use dowsing to locate the gate to the next trial.

You should set a course for Lanayru Desert immediately.

^?Master [Link], I have important information.

When you struck the crest with a Skyward Strike from your sword, a message from the goddess awakened deep within my memory. The goddess intended this message for you, Master. These are her words.

^?He who seeks the sacred flames, listen well, for I am the one guiding you from my place at the edge of time.

^?The last of the sacred flames still eludes you. To obtain it, you must claim another sacred gift.

For each trial you overcome, you shall be blessed with another gift.

^?Make use of the power of these gifts, and you will most certainly find the path to the sacred flames.

Now, I bestow unto you another melody. Let it serve as a key to unlocking your final trial. It awaits you upon Eldin Volcano.

^?According to my records, that song you just heard is called Din's Power. Use this song of might to locate the last trial.

^?You learned Din's Power!

^?I have committed Din's Power to my memory. Now you have the ability to use dowsing to locate the gate to the final trial. I suggest you travel to Eldin Volcano.

^?Bahah! So you've learned all three parts of the song from the dragons, eh? You have done well, young one!

^?True to my word, I will perform the last part of the song for you. Ahem...

^?You learned the final part of the Song of the Hero...

^?The Song of the Hero is now complete!

^?Now that you know the song, I trust you know what to do with it. That old song opens a door to a great trial.

Should you succeed in conquering the challenge awaiting you there, I'm certain the path to the Triforce will be revealed to you.

^?A report, Master [Link]. My calculations indicate an 85% chance that the structure you uncovered houses the Triforce. Given this development, I project that the moment for Zelda to fulfill her destiny and bring an end to Demise is close at hand.

^?Master, I believe at this juncture that a prayer is required. The ultimate goal we have traveled so far for is now within reach. Focus now, and wish with all your might for the destruction of Demise.

^?Faron Woods

^?Come on... Just go away...

^?Just play dead... Just play dead, koo-kwee... Play dead... Must think dead...

^?Huh...? It's gone quiet.

^?Kwee-koo! Now there's a green one! I didn't even know they came in green!

^?Don't hurt me, koo-weep!

^?It spotted me again!

^?Kweeee!

^?... ...

^?Huh? You don't want to...eat me? Kwee... And come to think of it, why did you fight off all those red monsters?

^?Kee-paleep! I'm Machi. I'm a Kikwi. You seem OK, even though you're scary. Thanks for helping me!

^?That's weird, kee-koo. A little while ago I ran into another funny animal like you, but that one was a girl.

Who?

Zelda?

^?I don't know who she was, but she seemed to be in big trouble when I saw her. She a friend of yours, kwee?

^?What's a Zelda? I don't know who this girl was, koo-kwee, but she was in a bunch of trouble when I saw her.

^?A pack of those mean red guys were after her, kwee, but she escaped with the Kikwi elder.

^?Kee-paleep... It sounds like you're set on finding this friend and the elder.

If you're heading that way anyway, kwee, would you mind telling our elder that I'm safe?

Cheer up, koo-weep! I bet your friend is safe with our elder.

^?You really spooked me, kwee... You keep some very strange company, friend.

^?Tell the elder that I'm safe. I'm sure the girl you're looking for is safe too. She's probably with the elder, kwi-koo!

^?It's good to hear the elder is OK! I can't believe he was hiding nearby all this time, kweee!

Sorry to hear that girl you're looking for wasn't with him, though.

^?Thanks a ton for finding all my other Kikwi buddies.

Too bad that girl you've been looking for wasn't with any of my friends. I just hope you find her, kwee!

^?Hey! It's me, kwee! Did you find the girl?

Who are you?

Not yet...

^?What do you mean, who am I? Don't tell me you forgot your old buddy Machi! Now I'm sad... Koo-kwee...

^?Oh. That's too bad. But it sounds like you at least know where you need to search next to find her, kwee. That's...something, right?

^?I'm so glad I've finally been reunited with all my Kikwi friends. It's all thanks to you, koo-weep!

^?With any luck, hopefully you'll find that girl you've been searching for real soon, koro-koo! Take care, OK?

^?Don't eat me! I taste TERRIBLE! Let me go, kwee!

^?Huh? The elder was worried about me? I'm glad to hear he's safe, kwee!

^?Huh? But you don't seem like a monster, koo-weep...

A girl with blonde hair, you say? Can't say I saw anyone like that. I was lying low this whole time.

^?I'm Oolo. If you meet the elder, tell him I'm here, kee-paleep!

I don't know if it's safe yet... I'm going to stay here awhile longer and wait for those monsters to go away.

^?What WAS that just now, kwee? Don't scare me like that!

^?I'm going to stay here for a while. If you see the elder, kwee, would you tell him where I am?

^?Good to hear the elder is safe, kwee. I'm going to stay here for a while, though, and wait until all those monsters are out of here.

^?Thanks for finding all of my friends, koo-weep!

But...it looks like it's still dangerous here in the forest.

^?Kikwi!

^?You fought off all those red guys. So does that mean that you're... a good guy?

See, I've got this problem. My legs have turned to jelly, and I can't get down. Think you could help me, kwee?

^?Ouch! That, uh...was effective. Anyway, thanks to you I'm saved, kee-paleep!

^?Really? The elder was worried about me? Well, I'm glad to hear he's safe, kwee-koo.

^?Huh? A girl? Sorry, kwee, I don't know anything about that.

The elder will probably know something about her, though.

^?My name's Lopsa. If you see the elder, can you please tell him where I am? Oh kwee... My legs are still shaking.

^?I thought you were another monster. Don't scare me like that, koo-kwee!

^?I'm going to rest here awhile. If you see the elder, let him know I'm here, koo-weep!

^?It's a relief to hear the elder is safe.

My legs are still shaking, kwee, so I'm going to stay here for a while.

^?Kee-paleep! Thanks for finding all the other Kikwis!

It looks like this clearing is monster free right now, unlike most of the forest, so I'm sticking here for now.

^?I've been discovered! And here I thought I had a good hiding place, kwee...

^?I'm Erla. You won't find another Kikwi in these woods that's half as good at hiding as I am. Except the elder, of course. Kwee!

^?You met the elder? And he's OK? Phew, glad to hear it, kwee!

If you see him again, would you please tell him I'm here?

^?No one hides like the elder. He's a true master of camouflage. I don't know if you'll ever find him, koo-weep!

^?How did you find me?! I was blending in perfectly with my environment, kwee...

^?I'm impressed you found me, kwee, but you still haven't found the elder, right?

^?You found him already?! I don't know how you do it, but you sure do have a knack for spotting hidden things, kwee!

^?You've found everyone? Wow, you're pretty serious about searching. Maybe you should rest your eyes, koo-weep.

^?Kweeeee-heee... I am Bucha, the Kikwi elder.

I saw the way you spotted me through my ingenious camouflage. Kweee, you are clearly a master woodsman.

Where's Zelda?

Others like you?

^?Zelda...?

Ah, the girl creature with the blonde hair. She looked like one of your kind. Yes, she was with me, kweeee.

But now is not the time for such talk... The woods are full of monsters. I am worried about my missing tribe.

Kweeee... The shock and worry has made my memories of the girl quite hazy...

^?What? You say you've met some of my people, kweee?

^?And you're looking for one of your lost people as well?

Hmmm... Yes. At one point during the monster panic here, I did speak with a blonde girl of your kind, kweee.

But now is not the time for such talk. The forest is full of monsters, and I am worried about my missing tribe.

Kweee... The shock and worry has made my memories of the girl quite hazy...

^?Kweee-hee! I am Bucha, the Kikwi elder.

You must be a master woodsman if you managed to spot me through my expert camouflage, kwee.

^?Hmm... So Machi, Oolo, and Lopsa are safe, are they? Oh, but there are still monsters lurking in the forest, so I dare not leave this spot, kwee.

^?So Machi, Oolo, and Lopsa are safe, eh? Sadly, one more Kikwi remains unaccounted for. Would you mind searching for him to see if he's OK? He likes to hide in grassy areas, so search any tufts of grass you see...

By the way, I haven't forgotten about the girl you search for. Give me just a bit more time, and I'm sure I can recall something about where she was headed.

^?A single Kikwi remains unaccounted for, kweee. Would you mind searching for him to see if he's OK?

He likes to hide in grassy areas, so you had better thoroughly search any grassy tufts you spot.

If you can find him for me, I should be able to remember the whereabouts of that girl you're looking for, kwee.

^?Hmm... So Machi, Oolo, and Erla are safe, are they? Oh, but there are still monsters lurking in the forest, so I dare not leave this spot, kwee.

^?Kwee... So Machi, Oolo, and Erla are now safe?

Sadly, one more Kikwi remains unaccounted for. Would you mind searching for him to see if he's OK?

He likes to climb trees, so I'd suggest you search the treetops for him, kwee.

By the way, I haven't forgotten about the girl you search for. Give me just a bit more time, and I'm sure I can recall something about where she was headed.

Oh, but there are still monsters lurking in the forest, so I dare not leave this spot.

^?I'm glad to hear that Machi and Oolo are safe, kwee, but I still worry about the other Kikwis.

Two Kikwis are still unaccounted for. Could I ask you to search the area for them and make sure they are safe?

Oh, and I believe I remembered something about the girl you seek. She took off that way, kwee! Or maybe it was this way? Oh dear.

^?Two more of my tribe are still unaccounted for, kwee! Could I ask you to search the area for them and make sure they are safe? I've been worried about my fellow Kikwis, but if you could put my fears to rest, I might remember something about where the girl you seek went.

^?Kwee... So Machi, Lopsa, and Erla are safe, eh?

Oh, but there are still monsters lurking in the forest. I dare not leave this spot.

^?Kwee... So Machi, Lopsa, and Erla are safe, are they?

Good news! Oh, but one last Kikwi is still unaccounted for. Could I ask you to search the area for him?

He has quite a talent for disguising himself as a clump of tall grass, so look for him amongst any lush, grassy tufts you may encounter, kwee. On a separate note, I feel like I'm on the verge of remembering something about that girl you're after and where she went. I need just a little more time.

^?Kweee... So Machi and Erla are safe, eh?

Oh, there are still monsters lurking in the forest. I dare not leave this spot.

^?I'm relieved to hear that Machi and Erla are safe, kwee, but I still worry about the other Kikwis.

I've been so worried about my Kikwis. But if you could put my fears to rest, I might remember where that girl you seek ran off to, kwee.

^?Kweee... So Machi is safe, eh?

Ahhh, but the monsters! They are still lurking in the forest. I don't dare leave this spot.

^?I'm glad to hear that Machi is safe, yes, kwee, but I still worry about the other Kikwis.

Three of my tribe are still unaccounted for. Could I convince you to search the area for them and make sure they are safe? Now if I could just recall where that girl went off to, kwee. Hmm...

^?Three Kikwis are still unaccounted for. Could I ask you to search for them and make sure they are safe, kweee?

I am worried sick for my fellow Kikwis. If you could calm my fears, I might be able to remember more about where the girl you seek went off to, kwee.

^?Kwee! So all my fellow Kikwis are well. And they want me to stop worrying? Aha, excellent! They know me too well.

You have a real talent for finding whatever is missing, kweee. I don't know who you are or where you come from, but you have my thanks.

^?Kwee hee hee, I feel much less worried now! I believe I just remembered where that young lady went!

^?I think she headed down that way toward the temple, kwee...but be sure to take great care if you follow her. That area is crawling with monsters.

^?Oho! I almost forgot, kwee!

As a reward for finding all my fellow Kikwis, I will give you a precious Kikwi heirloom.

Let me just fetch it for you right now, kweee. Pardon me a moment...

^?Come now, kwee, no need to be shy! Climb up onto my back and claim your reward.

^?Go on, kwee. Just climb up onto me and take the reward you earned!

^?That young girl...Zelda--was that her name? Yes...it's all coming back to me. She said she had to travel to the temple deep within these woods, kweee... Oho! I tried to warn her about how dangerous it was there, but the clever little thing vaulted off my belly and ran off on her own just the same.

^?What's that, kwee? You are also searching for someone who is lost?

Well, kwee...now that I think about it, I did bump into a young lady earlier. She had blonde hair, that one.

^?No doubt about it, kwee. This Zelda girl you're looking for ran off toward the temple in the Deep Woods.

^?With a slingshot, a clever young man like you should be able to find a way to the temple.

Go now and find that girl! I'll be rooting for you. Kwee hee hee...

^?With that slingshot, kwee, you should be able to find a path into the Deep Woods where that temple is.

^?To start, why not try shooting that curled-up vine over there?

^?To get started, why don't you shoot that vine over-- Huh?

Couldn't wait to shoot it, could you? Well, kwee...I suppose that's a good thing. It will make my explanation that much easier to understand.

^?Press [B] to ready your slingshot, kwee, then press [A] to let a shot fly.

If you run out of ammunition, just grab some seeds from the fruit that grows on the trees over there.

^?Now go find that girl! I'll be rooting for you. Kwee heh heh.

^?Master, you have entered Faron Woods.

^?The plentiful water in this region clearly sustains a large diversity of flora, including this massive tree.

^?It is logical that the lush plant life and water resources have attracted animal species to the region.

^?Looking at the probabilities, it is extremely likely that Zelda is somewhere in the area.

I recommend you continue to use your dowsing ability to search for her.

^?Master, I picked up a highly interesting spike in dowsing readings from the creature you just encountered.

Really?

Zelda?

^?Yes, Master. Based on the creature's characteristics, I must conclude that it is a peaceful, forest-dwelling animal known as a Kikwi. Kikwis are intelligent beings capable of speech. However, such a creature could obviously not be confused with Zelda.

It is unclear why such a creature would elicit a dowsing response attuned to Zelda. You should follow the creature and investigate this phenomenon.

^?The probability of this life-form being Zelda is 5%, so I must conclude that this is, in fact, not Zelda but a peaceful forest creature known as a Kikwi. Kikwis are highly intelligent beings, capable of speech. Yes, upon further observation...clearly not Zelda.

It is unclear why such a creature would elicit a dowsing response attuned to Zelda. You should follow the creature and investigate this phenomenon.

^?Master, I recommend you investigate the well-being of the creature curled up on the forest floor.

^?Master, if you do not inquire into the health of the creature curled up here, it has less than a 5% chance of survival.

^?I have detected an exceptionally strong dowsing response in this area. You should continue searching the vicinity.

^?I detect no monsters in the immediate area and therefore conclude it is safe for the Kikwi to leave its perch.

It seems that this Kikwi is unable to descend the tree. I suggest you find a way to expedite his dismount.

If you find yourself lacking ideas, you can always press [2] to review your available actions.

^?I do not detect a strong dowsing response corresponding with Zelda in this area. It would be best to move your search to another location.

^?An analysis of dowsing readings indicates that there are no additional Kikwis in this area.

I suggest you speak with the Kikwi elder.

^?Master, I highly suggest you save the progress of your quest before you set out for the temple deep within the woods in pursuit of Zelda.

^?This area commands an excellent view of your surroundings. It would be wise to utilize this vantage point to dowse for nearby Kikwis.

^?Master [Link], now would be an excellent time to arm you with additional information regarding the use of your items. You should be aware that you can instantly ready the slingshot you used a moment ago by quickly tapping [B].

If you experience difficulty aiming while you're using this at any time, point the Wii Remote forward and press [d-pad down] to recenter your aim.

^?Master, my calculations indicate there is an 80% probability that a sacred flame lies beyond this gate.

I have also deduced that the power of the goddess the Kikwi hermit referred to is in fact the Skyward Strike.

Charge your sword while standing in front of the gate and use its energy to draw the missing portion of the symbol.

^?Master [Link], you should be aware that I have calculated an 80% probability that a sacred flame lies beyond this lake.

^?Master, we have obtained new information on Zelda's current status.

This information indicates that she was assailed by monsters but somehow evaded capture. However, I infer that she is still in significant danger.

^?I have marked the position of the Kikwi known as Machi. Please confirm your current location.

^?Furthermore, my analysis suggests that this Kikwi most likely produces a false-positive dowsing reaction due to previous direct contact with Zelda. Using this hypothesis, I theorize there is an 85% chance that the Kikwi elder will also generate a dowsing reaction for the same reason. I propose you continue dowsing to search for Zelda.

^?Learning that Zelda is no longer with the Kikwi elder is an unfortunate setback. But he may still have useful information. Taking this into account, I calculate an 85% probability that your quest will be aided if you find the lost Kikwis for the elder. To expedite your search for these forest-dwelling creatures, I have added Kikwis as a dowsing option.

^?Do you need me to explain how to switch dowsing targets?

Yes!

No, thanks.

^?Press and hold [C] to display the targets you are currently able to dowse for.

Point the Wii Remote at the target you want to dowse for, and release [C] to confirm your selection.

If you do not want to dowse for anything, look around and release [C].

Again, please?

Got it.

^?Additionally, I will mark any Kikwis you discover on your map and disable dowsing readings for them. That way, you will not revisit the same Kikwis. This concludes my explanation. When ready, please begin your search for the missing Kikwis.

^?I have marked the location of Oolo the Kikwi on your map. However, dowsing readings indicate there are still Kikwis to search for.

^?I have marked the location of Oolo the Kikwi on your map. Unfortunately, Zelda is not with him.

^?I have marked the location of Lopsa the Kikwi on your map. However, dowsing readings indicate there are still Kikwis to search for.

^?I have marked the location of Lopsa the Kikwi on your map. Unfortunately, Zelda is not with him.

^?I have marked the location of Erla the Kikwi on your map. However, dowsing readings indicate there are still Kikwis to search for.

^?I have marked the location of Erla the Kikwi on your map. Unfortunately, Zelda is not with him.

^?I am not detecting any additional dowsing responses in the area.

I suggest you go speak with the Kikwi elder.

^?Master [Link], I have detected Zelda's aura emanating from within this structure.

^?However, I have also detected the presence of numerous monsters. Are you sure you want to proceed?

Of course!

No.

^?It would be very unwise to display overconfidence here. Within the walls of this place, no one will come to your aid.

^?Do not feel embarrassed. Fear is a natural self-preservation instinct common among living creatures.

^?If you feel unprepared to face the dangers ahead, consider returning to the sky to properly equip yourself.

^?Master, it appears you do not currently have a shield equipped. To reduce the probability of extreme bodily harm, I recommend carrying one at all times.

^?It would be wise to carry a shield to protect yourself, as well as a stock of potions to restore lost hearts.

^?Now we should continue the search for Zelda.

^?I have confirmed the plant life of this area matches that of Faron Woods. We have reached the area locally referred to as the Deep Woods. Now we should continue toward the temple in search of Zelda.

^?Master [Link], should you have questions about anything, I encourage you to call me with [d-pad down].

Once I'm summoned, select Advice or Hints and I will promptly offer you information pertinent to your current circumstance.

^?Master, I am also capable of providing an analysis of your current battle- performance rating versus each enemy type you've encountered.

^?While targeting an enemy with [Z], press [d-pad down] to summon me. I will provide information on your enemy as well as your battle-performance rating.

^?Now, there is a face I know. Hey, bud!

^?Now, there is a face I know! Hey, bud!

I got something I need your help with. Come over here and take a look!

^?Hey, bud, come over here and give a Goron a hand, will you?

^?I tell you, your timing could not have been better.

Look here. I stumbled onto one of these things just now, and it looks just like something I have seen in those ancient texts!

^?If I remember right... Yup, this is one of the things the goddess was said to have left behind for the hero of legend.

Pretty amazing, right? I even thought up a name for these things. I have been calling them Goddess Cubes! Makes sense, right?

^?Those ancient texts say some real interesting stuff about these things. How did it go again? Let me see, uh...

"Summon forth the light from a heavenly blade, and may that sword's master receive aid." So there you have it.

^?I see you got yourself a sword there. What do you say we try and crack the mystery of this cube together?

Sure!

Nah.

^?Hey! Thanks a billion, bud!

^?Aww, come on, I am begging you here! Help me out?

OK.

Nope.

^?OK, I get the picture. I will make sure this is worth your while.

^?You would have to be crazy to refuse me now! Unless you are... You are not crazy, are you?

^?This cube is made of some sort of metal I have never seen. I have whaled on it, but nothing happens.

^?You know, bud, I would say the key to cracking this egg is that one line. You know, "the light from a heavenly blade"?

^?WHOOOA! Did you see that?! The cube just shot up into the sky!

I think it reacted to that whirly-beam thing that shot out of your sword.

And where do you think the cube shot off to, anyhow? This mystery just got a whole lot more, uh, mysterious!

The texts say there are cubes like that one all over this land.

Tell you what. You blast as many of those cubes as you can find. If you find out more about them along the way, you come see me.

^?Hmm? What is up, bud? You got a question?

Cubes?

Temple?

Not really.

^?Yeah, hit those cubes with a blast of light from your sword and WHOOSH... They shoot up into the sky.

The ancient texts I have read say those cubes are all over this land.

^?The old texts refer to a place near here called Skyview Temple where, as the story goes, a visitor from the sky will one day be received.

^?Come to think of it, I seem to remember seeing an old stone marker somewhere in these parts.

I do not remember exactly what was written on the thing, but my gut tells me it is the key to getting inside!

^?Hey, do not run off!

I need your help figuring out the secret of these Goddess Cubes.

^?Hold up, bud!

I need to ask you a favor.

^?Hold it, bud!

Do not walk on by like you do not see me when I know you do. Are you mad at me or something?

Sorry!

I don't like you.

^?Oh, you are busy searching for your friend. I get it. Sorry to get in your way, bud. Really, I am.

But this will not take long. Come help me out, will you?

^?Oh. Ouch. Is that so? I guess it is just how it is for us explorer types. We are fated to be misunderstood.

Just the same, could you take a few minutes to help me out?

^?He who descended from above: look to the star that the bird rising heavenward gazes upon, and aim your shot there.

201-ForestD1.msbt

^?Skyview Temple

^?Gaze upon your map until your eye finds the [X], for it is there that you must strike a glittering gemstone to reveal a path. You shall find a temple map in a room with two such gemstones.

^?He who descended from the sky: lend your ear to the wise voice of the servant who brought you to the firm soil.

^?Two doors lead to rooms left and right, but they will only open when the gemstones are struck. One is above, one below.

^?I detect Zelda's aura! There is a high probability that she is beyond this large door.

^?The mechanism controlling the lock on this door appears to have been deactivated.

^?Master, I have bad news. The auras of many creatures reverberate throughout this temple.

As a result, I can't isolate Zelda's aura. You will not be able to track her here.

Given the situation, I suggest you look around to see where we should move next.

^?Master [Link], I have information concerning the mechanisms that open the doors.

Given their function, logic dictates that the mechanisms are positioned near the doors that they open.

There is an 80% probability you will locate these mechanisms if you thoroughly explore and look around in every direction.

^?It appears one of Ghirahim's underlings has reengaged the lock here. You will need to search the area for the key once again.

^?You have acquired a new item. Analysis of this object's insect-like profile and wings indicates it can fly.

Tilt the Wii Remote to remotely pilot the device. The sharp structure on the front of the device can sever threads and deliver a blow to smaller objects. To launch the device, press [B] to ready it for takeoff then press [A].

^?I will explain about your newly acquired Hook Beetle.

Use the Wii Remote to pilot it remotely. This item's strong jaw can cut thin ropes or threads and even deliver a blow to smaller objects. The jaw power has increased, and it can now carry light objects.

For detailed instructions on using this item, press [B] to ready it for takeoff, then press [2].

^?I am detecting a greater enemy presence in the vicinity than I previously observed. You would be wise to proceed with caution.

^?My readings indicate the presence of sacred water within the temple. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use your dowsing ability here. Based on my calculations, I estimate the water is located in the deepest part of the temple complex.

^?I recommend using the [X] on your map as a guide when revisiting the deepest area of the temple.

^?I detect sacred water nearby. There are no monster auras causing interference, so you can dowse here.

^?Master [Link], it is likely that I am the servant this tablet is referring to.

To help you with your mission, the goddess gave me a massive quantity of knowledge about this land.

Should you find yourself in need of answers, I hope you won't hesitate to call on me by pressing [d-pad down].

If you target an object with [Z] and then press [d-pad down], I will tell you all the information I know about it.

^?The sentries you see here are born of evil magic. They have a tendency to fix their gaze on any pointed object that moves within their view.

^?This set of sentries is bound together. This allows them to resist being rotated independently of one another.

^?Master, I detect targetable objects in your immediate vicinity.

If you press [d-pad down] while targeting a person or object with [Z], I will provide you with information on that subject.

^?Master [Link], the water in this room is...ordinary water.

The sacred water that the Water Dragon seeks is likely located in the deepest part of the temple.

^?Just fantastic. I work like a weasel just to swipe a key from that monster, and then I hafta go and lose it.

^?I just can't remember which hole I hid it in.

^?Eh, what do I need a key for, anyway? I can buy a trunk full of those things once I find the treasure I'm after!

^?Aww...and here I thought that key would be my ticket to a life of luxury. I could have sworn I buried it right around here...

^?Hey. What do you want?

Key?

Treasure?

Never mind.

^?Huh? I can't find it anywhere...

^?It's the darnedest thing. I buried a key around here, but I can't recall where exactly I put it.

^?You know that big guy? The one who looks like a boulder with legs? Craaazy eyebrows too.

So anyway, he told me about this golden sculpture that opens a door to some fancy place here.

^?Now where could I have hidden that key? I guess it might not be this room after all. You don't happen to have a map on you, do you, pal?

^?Heyyy, what's with the grin? Ya know something, don'tcha? Come on. Spit it out, kid.

^?Say, that's my missing key! You found it and brought it back to me!

^?What?! Ya found my key and then used it already?

^?Hmm. I was just thinkin', what use do us Mogmas have for keys? We can dig our way in and out of anything!

^?Well, good to know where that key went. I gotta get back to hunting for treasure. Here's hoping we both strike it rich in here! See ya!

^?Hold it... You're that guy. That guy I met in the volcano!

^?Here to do some treasure hunting too?

Yep!

Nope.

^?I called it! You got treasure hunter written all over your face.

^?You're a terrible liar, guy. Ya got treasure hunter written all over your face.

^?Did the big stone guy out there tip ya off to the loot too?

Stone guy?

Tip?

^?Yeah, what'd he say again? "Strum a chord most beautiful in the place within the temple where the butterflies dance."

^?So I get here, and I let loose with some of the most gorgeous humming I've done in my entire life, and nothing happens!

^?But seeing how I've come this far, there's no chance I'm gonna give up the hunt for treasure just yet!

^?Sheesh. I dig some serious miles to get my paws on treasure, and I've found squat. Talk about bad luck!

^?I think some no-good thief beat me to the goods. There's nuttin' here but water now.

^?Who in the stinkin' world would come all this way for water? Nobody, that's who.

^?I'm cuttin' my losses and headin' home. See ya!

^?Whoa there, buddy. I bet you think you're going to run ahead and swipe all the best treasure for yourself.

^?But I say you're setting yourself up for big-time disappointment.

Just 'cause some weird design popped up on the wall doesn't mean you're any closer to finding treasure, all right?

^?I think you've been had by that boulder with legs!

^?Stay here if ya want. I'm going on ahead!

^?No one's beatin' me to all the sweet loot piled up in this place!

^?Well... You put up more of a fight than I would have thought possible out of such a soft boy.

But don't clap for yourself quite yet. That sword of yours is the only reason you still live.

^?I fear I spent far too long teasing and toying with you.

The girl's presence has all but faded from this place, which means there's no reason to linger here.

Good-bye, sky child. Run and play this time. Get in my way again, though, and you're dead.

^?Hah, quite the sword you have here. But so long as you telegraph your attacks like the novice you are, you'll never land a blow.

^?Master, as I just translated, it would appear that Zelda purified herself in the waters of this spring.

I calculate a 97% chance that she has already set out for Eldin, where another great spring exists.

However, it is not clear what method of travel Zelda used to move from here to her next destination.

^?My analysis suggests you should take the tablet to the altar in Skyloft.

Doing so will likely open a new column of light on the surface, allowing you to descend to another area and continue your search for Zelda.

^?Let's return to the sky once more before continuing our search. The bird statue outside can take us back up.

^?The bird statue that transports you back to the sky should be in the forest you previously passed through.

^?There is a 95% probability that the water here is identical to the water within the Water Dragon's basin. I suggest we take it back to her.

^?My analysis of the water here reveals an extraordinarily high concentration of energy.

There is a strong likelihood that this energy will be amplified upon contact with an object of conforming wavelength.

202-ForestD2.msbt

^?Ancient Cistern

^?Strike the gemstones pointing in four directions wisely. The way will only open for one who knows the temple's secret order.

^?Carved into the great statue are inscriptions of gratitude. They reveal the secret order of this temple. First the back, then the rear, then the back of the right hand, and finally the back of the left hand.

^?Return the stone giant to its original form, and descend below the earth again along the thread. There you will find the key to the path ahead.

^?Look for the key that lies beneath the earth.

^?A gemstone shines deep within the eye. Strike it to shut the mouth and dam the flow.

^?Based on the patterns we have seen so far, I believe the key mentioned on the stone marker is the key required to unlock the device ahead of us.

^?Master, I have some important information that I am certain you will want to hear. There is a large treasure chest in the area. There is an 85% probability it contains the key that will open the door we observed at the top of the stone statue.

^?Master, I have taken the liberty to confirm that a door is located at the uppermost section of this statue. The lock is unfamiliar to me.

^?You certainly are persistent...

^?I'm terribly busy trying to find the clues that will help me revive the demon king.

^?Your incessant buzzing around my head like some irksome gadfly when I'm THIS busy is... Well, it's making me very disagreeable.

203-ForestF2.msbt

^?Lake Floria

^?Kikwiiiiiiiiii!

^?Whoozit?! I'm nappin'!

^?Oooh, look at that! A real live human! Haven't seen one of you in a while, kwrrrrrk.

They used to call me Yerbal. Now I'm just the old Kikwi hermit. I watch over this forest here...when I'm not nappin'.

I don't know how you wandered all the way up here, but let me ask you something... Can you really see me?

Sure can.

Nope.

^?Hmmmmmm? Oh, you again...kwwrk. Is there something I can do for you?

Yes.

No.

^?Whazzit? Say, you got a familiar face. Have you and I met before, kwrrrrrk?

Sure have!

Nah...

^?Ah, you're playing in Hero Mode. That explains it. In that case, you don't need me blabbing on about what you need to do, do you?

Pretty much.

Uh, I forgot...

^?Huh, maybe so. Maybe so. This must be what folks call déjà vu, kwwwrk. Creepy.

^?Uh-oh. If your memory is so shaky that you've already forgotten our past conversation, things could get pretty hairy for you this time around, kwwrk!

^?Is that so? Well then, slap yourself on the back, kwwwrk! You know, some Kikwis can't even see me these days.

^?Fibber! You're a fibbity fibber, kwwrk!

And just how did you peg me with your fancy shooter thing without being able to see me, eh?

^?...But forget all that nonsense and tell me, kwwwrk, what business does a real live human have in these woods?

The flame!

Nothing.

^?You're out questing for a flame to enhance your sword, kwwrk? So that you can find someone important to you, eh? How about that... A human who can see me and seeks a great flame, kwwwrk!

^?Remember what I said about it being my job to watch over the forest? I know things most don't, kwrrrk!

A human who seeks a great flame to enhance his sword... Pffft. I know who you are!

^?Listen, do you promise not to breathe a word of what I'm about to tell you to another soul? I'm serious, kwwwrk!

I promise.

No promises!

^?All right, I'll tell you. But remember-- it's a secret to everybody.

^?You can't keep a secret?!

Here I am trying to let you in on a big secret, and you can't even promise to keep it to yourself? Do you even want to hear it, kwwwwwrk?

Please!

Nah...

^?WHATSIT?!

Oh, fine. I give up, kwwwrk. You climbed all the way up here, so I'll tell you anyway.

^?The flame that you seek...is most likely Farore's Flame.

Yes, yes... Farore's Flame... That story begins very long ago, when the goddess was still with us, kwwwrk...

^?The goddess gave the flame to the Water Dragon, a great spirit that presides over Faron Woods.

^?The way I hear it is she left the flame in the care of the Water Dragon so that one day the mighty dragon could pass it on to the "one from the sky"...

^?You see, kwwwwrk, I've got a hunch that the goddess was talking about you, lad.

Well, that settles that. You must seek out the mighty Water Dragon.

^?Her lair is deep in a lake in the south of these woods, kwwwwwwrk. She watches over the flame there.

^?There's a problem, though. The gate that leads to that lake is sealed shut to all those judged unworthy...

But don't worry, kwwwwrk. I'll let you in on the trick to opening the gate.

^?To open the gate, you have to channel the power of the goddess into the symbol carved into its doors, kwwwrk!

Oh, but it isn't so simple! The symbol is incomplete. To unlock the gate, you must make the symbol whole.

^?The only way you'll know what the completed symbol should look like is to first find that same completed symbol somewhere else in these woods.

^?The gate is down in the south, so it's likely that there's a matching symbol somewhere up north. Try searching near this [X], kwwwrk!

^?Is all of this seeping into your head, lad? Do you know where you must go to find the symbol you seek?

Got it!

Uh...

^?All right, kwwwwrk, let's try that again...

^?Channel the power of the goddess into the gate, and complete the symbol carved upon its doors using that power.

^?Place a beacon on your map over this [X] so that you can find the location I was talking about, kwwwrk!

^?Then I wish you safe travels, lad.

^?I'll be here nappin' if you need some of my elder wisdom. See you around! Kwwwwwwrk...

^?I forgot to mention this earlier, but it's important. Her Excellence, the Water Dragon, is VERY persnickety about manners... So watch yours! I've heard stories of folks who caught her in a fussy mood. They ended up as midmorning snacks, kwwwwrk!

^?I probably taste like old cave moss, but I'm not in a hurry to become a royal meal, kwwwrk!

So don't let her know I told you about Farore's Flame, OK?

And remember, when you're in her hall, you'd better be on your best behavior and be a gracious guest.

^?Oh, wait up!

^?There's no need to be so rough, you know.

Hmm? You need to fetch some sacred water to prove yourself to the Water Dragon?

Did you try searching the temple here? I think I remember Her Excellence was quite fond of the water from one of the little springs inside.

^?There's no need to be so rough, you know.

Ah, no mistaking it. That's the water Her Excellence craves. If you're embarrassed to give it to her, you could always say it's a gift from me!

^?Hey now! You're going to give me a bruise like that.

So you've managed to open the gate to Lake Floria, eh?

Remember, if the Water Dragon asks how you found out where she resides, you didn't hear it from me!

^?Ack! That stings!

I hear the Water Dragon's pretty impressed with you.

Of course, she's been impressed with me for ages now, so...

^?You! I told you to keep quiet about our conversation!

When the Water Dragon flooded the forest, I was sure she was going to eat me like a dinner salad!

Still, the flood isn't so bad, is it? The water's flushed out most of those monsters. The woods are quite peaceful, really.

^?Heya! Remember me? You ever find that girl you were searching after?

Who're you?

Not yet...

^?Who am I...? Is it that hard to remember who I am?

Want to know the best way to tell us Kikwis apart? If you point to us on your map, you'll see our names appear.

^?Oh... I sure hope you two find each other soon. Let me tell you, there's nothing like reuniting with friends.

^?I'm sure glad all those mean guys are gone. We can finally live in peace again!

I really hope you find your friend, just so the two of you can get back to life as usual!

^?How long do we have to live in constant fear?

Is no place in the woods completely safe? One day it would be nice to go for a relaxing walk.

^?Everyone keeps saying the forest is safe again, but I don't buy it.

I mean, is anywhere truly safe anymore? One day, I'd like to go for a walk without cringing with fear every time I hear a sound.

^?This is where we've made our home. There's plenty of food to go around. It's a pretty nice place, all in all.

^?I love that it's so safe here, but you know...it's kind of boring now.

I should really stop complaining and just enjoy this "problem" of mine.

^?You may not have noticed, but I'm trying to hide here. Could you please scoot along before you draw monsters over this way?

^?You found me again. Sheesh, there's just no hiding from those eagle eyes of yours.

You know, I think you deserve a reward. Here--take this. I found it while I was hiding.

^?Don't forget: it's a secret to everybody!

^?Hiding from you isn't even fun. You're too good at finding me.

^?It's nice to get lost in your own thoughts sometimes.

Sitting down for a quick break does wonders for the body and the mind.

^?I see that you didn't find the girl in the Deep Woods, kee-paleep.

But you can't lose heart! Just as I have been reunited with my fellow Kikwis, you will find your friend one day, kwii!

^?Ah, hello again. I see you have the Water Dragon's Scale there, kewwww.

That's amazing! I heard that if you have one, kewww, you can swim through the water like a dragon soars through the sky!

^?There must be places here in the woods that you haven't visited yet, kewww.

You should use the Water Dragon's Scale to explore areas you couldn't even get to before, kewww!

^?There are still some parts of this forest that you haven't discovered yet, kewwwww.

If you use the power of the Water Dragon's Scale, you can dive underwater, kewww. Just hold [A] on the water's surface.

^?Hoo-hoo-hoo.

^?You found a way inside the great tree, eh? Hah, impressive!

^?If you reach the top branches of the tree, the view is spectacular! You never know what you might see from up there.

^?So you climbed your way to the very top of the tree? Very impressive!

What's that? Someone's living up there? Well, I'm counting on you to find out more about this mystery tree resident.

^?What's that? You met an old hermit Kikwi living up in the tree? Amazing! All this time I was sure there were only five of our kind in these woods!

^?What a wild world we live in. I hope I can meet our lost brother soon.

^?So you've met Her Excellence, the Water Dragon? What an experience! I am terribly envious of you.

^?So the Water Dragon has found you worthy, has she? You are full of surprises.

^?I confess that now that the water has receded, I do miss it a bit. It was exciting to have a change of scenery.

^?Speaking of a change of scenery, how is Oolo faring out there in the big, wide world? Is he well?

^?By the by, did you hear about Oolo? He's considering leaving the woods on his own. That's one brave Kikwi...

^?You have reached the top of the tree.

From this vantage point, you have a good view of the woods. Perhaps you will see an area you haven't explored.

^?Master, look up there...

^?I have confirmed the discovery of a new Kikwi.

Analysis indicates a 90% chance that the sounds we have been hearing were the loud snores of this Kikwi.

^?I am analyzing the water remaining in this basin... Excellent. I can now help you dowse for the water type you are searching for.

^?Master, you do not have a container suitable for transporting water. Please prepare a vessel for this purpose.

^?Master, you have wisely elected to carry an Empty Bottle. Use it to carry the water you seek.

^?I am analyzing the water in this basin... Its unique properties match the water you collected at Skyview Spring.

^?I estimate an 80% probability that this symbol is the one the hermit was describing.

^?I recommend you memorize its shape.

^?Congratulations, Master [Link].

^?You have passed this trial. You now have the power to proceed to the location of the first sacred flame that will enhance your sword.

^?The Water Dragon's Scale is one of the goddess's sacred gifts.

The great spirit of the Water Dragon has provided you with the ability to swim freely underwater.

^?The flame you seek is somewhere within these woods... Master, I must conclude that this flame is likely in a part of this area you have not explored.

^?Master, I have information to report.

By my estimates, you are currently situated in the southwest area of Faron Woods. Please confirm your location with your map.

^?Yes, as I suspected, the water level in Faron Woods has dropped. The forest has returned to its former less- aquatic state.

^?Master, listen closely. Do you hear that?

^?Measurements indicate a large amount of water in this basin. This quantity of water has an 85% chance of putting out the flames that block our path. I recommend you attempt to borrow this basin from the Water Dragon.

^?Were you to transport this basin to the volcano, the water in this container has an 85% chance of extinguishing the flames barring your path. I recommend you attempt to borrow this basin from the Water Dragon.

^?To transport the Water Dragon's basin to the volcano, you will need to enlist the service of that transport robot. Shall I send word to him?

Call him!

Not that guy...

^?Very well, shall I call for the robot?

Sure!

Not that guy...

^?Understood, Master. I will call him at once.

^?Master...unless you plan to carry the tub on your back, now is not the time to be picky about who will help you. I will call for the robot.

^?Master...despite your somewhat warranted reservations, it would be irrational to abandon the most logical solution. I will call for the robot now.

^?Master, your task here is complete for the moment. We should return to the sky so that we can set a course for the volcano.

^?Hmm...

^?Ah! You there, human!

^?You have intruded into my home, a sacred place few are permitted to enter!

This is no place for one such as you. And yet here you stand! You will explain how you got here, and quickly.

Water Dragon?

I'm lost.

^?I am. Those with manners address me as Faron, warden of the woods. I was appointed by the goddess herself.

Though my current stature is less than, well, intimidating, shall we say, know that you stand in the presence of a loyal servant of the goddess! ...Hmm?

^?I say, that's one of MY scales you have there!

A sacred gift such as that could only be carried by the goddess's chosen hero. But could you really be him?

This raises questions. Even with that scale in your possession, finding my hall is no easy task... How did you find me?

^?Ah, yes... That cackling, old hermit Kikwi told you where I live, didn't he?

Honestly, I can't remember how many times I've told that scruffy thing to keep his mouth shut. That's the last straw. Next time I see him, he's dinner! Oh, but I digress. You've come here seeking a sacred flame, have you?

Of course!

I forget...

^?I knew it.

^?But I'll be straight with you. A shrimpy boy like you hardly looks the part of the goddess's chosen hero.

There's no doubt about it. A test is in order to prove you're everything you say you are.

Shortly before your arrival, I was attacked by a pompous creature calling himself Ghirahim.

I stood against this self-proclaimed Demon Lord, but I was wounded in the encounter.

^?The wounds he's given me are stubborn things. I have been forced to recuperate in this basin of sacred water. Unfortunately, the healing properties of the sacred water have diminished, and I am now in need of another dose to freshen up my healing bath. Bring me the container of fresh sacred water that I require.

^?Do me this favor, and I'll gladly show you where to find the sacred flame you desire. What say you?

You got it!

No, thanks.

^?Excellent. Now run along. One does not keep a dragon waiting.

^?Do not mock me, boy!

Linger in my hall a moment longer, and I'll bite your head clean off!

^?I am willing to lead you to the sacred flame you seek, but only if you bring me the sacred water I seek.

All right.

No, thanks.

^?Quickly now, bring me the sacred water I desire. Do so, and I will show you the way to the sacred flame.

^?Yes! Just look at that color. There's no doubt this is the water I need. Quickly, boy, pour it into my basin!

^?Hmph. So it's too great a task for you? Then I guess you are a mere human after all.

^?Do not mock me, boy! If this is an attempt at humor, you will find this a cold audience!

Still...few mortals have had the courage to speak so boldly before me. You do not intimidate easily. Yes, a laudable trait to be sure.

^?If you continue down this way, you will find an exit back to the woods.

^?What's this? You have a bottle of the sacred water I seek here with you? Go on and pour it into my basin!

^?Mmmmmm! Exquisite! I can feel its energy surging through me!

^?Behold the full majesty of Faron, Water Dragon and guardian of these lands! I stand tall--healed and whole once again!

^?Human. You have done well to bring me the sacred water I asked you for.

I see now it was no coincidence that you completed the goddess's trial and obtained a Water Dragon's Scale.

^?Human. You have done well to bring me the sacred water I asked you for.

I see now it was no coincidence that you completed the goddess's trial and obtained a Water Dragon's Scale.

^?In turn, I will grant you the favor you have asked of me and lead you to the sacred flame of my land.

Come.

^?One day I shall also repay Ghirahim in full for his actions here.

^?That is a great sword you carry. Devote yourself to growing into a man strong enough to wield its might.

^?It pleases me that you have driven so many monsters from these woods. You have finally grown to possess strength worthy of the sword you bear. When you first came to my hall, you seemed an uncertain little thing... But now your confidence is written across your face. Just the same, continue to temper your body and mind! You must, if you hope to carry out the divine task entrusted to you.

^?Now...behold.

^?Hah-hmm...

^?Go. The sacred flame you seek lies within this place.

While the waterfall has barred entrance to this place for many years, monsters have still found a way in...and inside they flourish.

^?Ah, but you are the goddess's chosen hero. Swatting a few monsters will be no trouble for you.

I imagine you and I will cross paths again. Until then, do not lower your guard.

Farewell, boy.

^?Ah, it's you. Tell me, are you mastering the power that dwells within your sword?

Oh? You wish to borrow my water basin? Hmm... Very well. I have recovered, and I have no intention of having to soak in it again soon! Begone with it. It's yours to use as you please.

^?Hmm? You wish to borrow my water basin once again?

Hmm...very well. But I must say the annoying contraption that returned with it last time had a wicked tongue on him! I let it go because he's in your service, but if you don't teach that impudent runt some manners, know that I will.

^?Return the basin to me when you finish with it. There is no rush, though. It's yours to do with as you please.

^?Ah, the sword you carry is different since I last saw you. Yes, I see it is much improved...

^?To think, the goddess's chosen hero is but a mere boy. Quite a twist...

^?Chosen hero or not, you do not yet possess the strength required to wield the full power of that blade.

^?You must train yourself further! Devote yourself wholly to this task.

^?Farewell, boy.

^?Yes? If you have a question for me, you need only speak it.

Fire Dragon?

Thunder Dragon?

Faron Woods?

Nothing.

^?Hah! Him? Just as I was charged with watching the woods, so does he preside over the volcanic lands to the north.

He's a peculiar fellow who has made his lair deep in the sweltering depths of the volcano, beyond the reach of monster and man. If you can't handle the heat, I'd suggest you stay clear. That is, unless you want the flame-charred look!

^?Hah! Oh, him? Just as the goddess charged me with watching the woods, so does he preside over the bone-dry sands of the desert. He's the oldest of the dragons. For some time, he's neglected his own health. I wonder how he's been faring of late...

^?A great many ancient songs praise the way humans once lived in these woods. They were in harmony with nature.

Honestly, I think those songs fail to see the big picture. Don't you agree these woods are far more beautiful now that the humans are gone?

^?Continue to temper your body and mind! This is vital if you are to carry out the divine mission entrusted to you!

^?Quit following me, pest! If you don't move along, I'll be forced to tell Her Excellence the Water Dragon about your little incursion!

^?Ack! Another human!

OK, OK... I just have to avoid eye contact and back away slowly...

^?Ha-HA! Didn't see that coming, did you? Yep, there's no way you're going to be able to follow me now!

So, what now? Are you going to cry? If you think you can make it through, just go ahead and try!

^?Yep, nothing short of a mighty spin move will get you through here, and you obviously can't do that!

^?GAH! How is that even possible? I've never seen a human pull off a spin like that!

Wait... That's a Water Dragon's Scale! Does that make you the emissary of the goddess, like the Water Dragon said? Hey, I've got an idea! Maybe you can help Her Excellence!

What's wrong?

Take me to her!

^?Yeah, about that... It happened really recently. This weirdo came in here with a gang of monsters and went right after Her Excellence. My lady the Water Dragon is a fierce fighter, and, boy, did she gobble up most of those monsters in the first few seconds. Thing is, there were just so many of them! While she was distracted, the weirdo leading all those creatures managed to wound her. She's healing up now, but she says we don't have enough special water for her to make a full recovery.

So could you please go talk with Her Excellence and see if you can help her out?

I'll even take you to her. Follow me!

^?Huh? That's weird. I was expecting to meet up with my friend here... And the path is blocked with a huge boulder. Lovely. Now what do we do?

^?You see those pointy, bloated fellas over there? Sure they look tough, but if you shake your Nunchuk and spin at 'em, they go down easy.

^?Oh, now that's using your noodle! Her Excellence is just up ahead. Over this way!

^?Come on, come on! Hurry up!

Huh? You can't get through? Sheesh, you humans and your bones. Talk about inconvenient. I guess you can leap over the top of this wall if you have to.

^?If you can't pass through here, you'll just have to jump over the top of the wall.

^?Wow! Perfect jump!

I'd call you amazing, but I think we both know it was the Water Dragon's Scale that made that little stunt possible.

^?Yikes! Oh, they're back! That's one of the fish that weirdo brought in here and used to attack Her Excellence.

Watch out--they're mean as they come!

^?Hey there, big guy... We're friends, right? We both like...water. Don't hurt me now...

^?Wow! The goddess sure knows how to pick them! You did great!

^?At last, we're here!

^?Her Excellence the Water Dragon is just up ahead. Hang on just a second.

^?Please, come in.

^?Her Excellence is just up ahead. Please, go in and speak with her!

^?Go on! Talk with the Water Dragon!

^?Please help Her Excellence recover!

^?Help her! Help her!

^?Thanks to you, the Water Dragon has made a complete recovery. Many thanks!

^?Many thanks! Many thanks!

^?Her Excellence is currently out and about.

^?Out and about! Out and about!

^?Talk about bad luck. While the woods were flooded, I had to stay here and hold down the fort.

Talk about disappointment! I was really looking forward to swimming around that area for once.

^?Disappointment! Disappointment!

^?Eeep! Don't eat me!

Your Excellence?

I won't eat you.

^?Me, the Water Dragon? No! Are you looking for Her Excellence?

You possess one of her scales, so you must be a friend to our kind. I will tell you where you can find her.

^?The Water Dragon lives just a little ways up from here. If you want to make a note of that, now's probably a good time to do it!

^?It's a secret to everybody.

^?Whaaa? You don't want to gobble me up? Oh, that's a relief.

I've been hiding here for a while. Ever since that school of scary-looking fish swam through.

^?Me, the Water Dragon? No! Are you looking for Her Excellence?

She's actually very kind, but if you're rude to her...she can be quite scary! When you see her, make sure you stay on her good side.

^?The Water Dragon is actually very kind...unless you irritate her. Make sure you stay on her good side!

^?Her Excellence hasn't been herself since the attack. Can't you do something for her?

^?I'm so glad Her Excellence has made a speedy recovery. Thank you for coming to her aid!

^?It's a shame the woods aren't flooded anymore. I wish I could have explored a bit more outside.

^?I never knew there were humans who could dive this deep!

Can you also do a spin by shaking your Nunchuk?

^?Say, Mr. Human Person, do you know how to do a spin jump?

If you spin up toward the water's surface, you can do an amazing leap right out of the water!

^?Hah! Human in the water! Look at him trying to flap around in the water!

^?The place was just perfectly peaceful for the longest time. Then weirdo people like you started showing up.

On top of that, scary fish have been terrorizing our water! All this commotion has made it impossible for me to get any shut-eye.

^?That one over there? He's dying to get in good with the Water Dragon.

My advice? Keep your distance. Nothing good will come of hanging around with a fin-kissing Parella.

^?I love my home here. I just wish it was a little easier to get in and out of the place.

^?Mistress Fi, bzzzt! My deep apologies for keeping you waiting!

^?Let's see here... This cargo looks very heavy, but it's well within my payload tolerances, bzzrrt!

^?Ugh, vweep. This old basin again... Fine, vrrm! I got this...

^?Master Shortpants! Watch carefully while I demonstrate what a real hero looks like, bzzzzat!

^?As usual, vrrrt, I shall await you in the skies above.

204-ForestF3.msbt

^?Koro-koo! I was so shocked when water started flowing out of the Great Tree's roots!

Kwee... How am I supposed to hide when the whole forest is underwater? I hope things go back to normal soon!

^?I'll teach you something useful. Some rocks will roll away if you attack them, kwi-koo!

^?Yeah, the forest's flooded, ka-roo, but I'm holding up! Give my best to the Water Dragon!

^?We're finished, kew! What'll become of our forest? It's so...wet.

^?The Water Dragon flooded the forest? Kew-aroo! She's probably planning to eat us all when we're soggy!

^?I don't care if you go dowsing or diving or what, kwi-koo. Just please find those Tadtones!

^?Oh, when will this water go away?! I can't swim, kik-kwoo!

^?All this started after the Water Dragon showed up, kera-kwoo! This flood must be her fault!

^?Kik-kwee! If you want to know more about Tadtones, you should talk to the Parella. They know all about them.

Parella?

I know.

^?Yeah, the forest's flooded, karoo, but I'm holding up! Give my regards to the Water Dragon!

^?They're those water-dwelling folks with the pointy mouths, kwee-koo!

^?If you run into one in the water, kweek, see what it has to say!

^?Kee-paleep! I saw the Water Dragon! She must be hiding around here somewhere!

^?As you collect Tadtones, kew-kwee, you'll fill in the musical score. Keep searching till you find them all!

^?Try dowsing, kwook, and find the Tadtones!

^?Hurry back to the Water Dragon, kwee!

^?Our elder is waiting for you, koo-kew! Go and hear what he has to say!

^?Oh, kewwwwww. You... You're that one from before. Come to think of it, I'd forgotten to ask your name.

...I see. [Link], is it? Now there's an odd name, kewwwww. Ah...

What brings you to see me?

This water!

The woods...

^?Oh, [Link].

What's this? The Water Dragon caused this flood? So the old girl finally grew angry with all the monsters running about the forest, kewwww? ...The woods won't be getting drier anytime soon, kewwww...

^?Off you go, now! Hurry and return to the Water Dragon!

^?Kewwww... How nice to see you again, [Link]!

How goes the Tadtone gathering? I'd actually thought of something you might be interested to know.

You see, it's like...hrmm... How should I explain this, kewwww?

There was a technique you used when searching for the others of my tribe, remember? That!

Use that thing you do, kewww, and you'll have a much easier time getting those Tadtones!

^?Yes, yes! That's it! Dowsing! Use your dowsing ability, and you'll find the rest of those Tadtones in no time flat! ...Or is it sharp? Ahem...kewww...

^?Kewwww, it's good to see you again! Yes, things look a bit different here, don't they?

The water came gushing out of the base of the tree behind me and flooded the entire woods.

I don't know what caused it, but I suppose it will clear out the monster infestation, kewww, so you won't hear me complaining!

^?All of a sudden water came gushing from the base of the tree and flooded the entire woods, kewwwww.

But, you know...I rather like it this way! Oh ho ho!

^?Oh, [Link]! You've gathered all the Tadtones, haven't you? That's no small feat! Or should I say no small beat, kewwwww! Ahem... Anyway, hurry and return to the Water Dragon!

^?Hey, [Link]! Some nasty fish seem to have swam their way into the flooded woods. I'd hate to bump into those things underwater, kewww! Watch your toes!

^?Kewwwwww, [Link]! Can you hear me?

I thought up something good! Why don't you come and chat with me for a moment, kewwwwwww.

^?If you wish to earn my favor, gather the Tadtones and return to me.

^?You can catch those rogue Tadtones with a spin! It will pull them toward you so you can grab them.

Oh... But I guess you humans use up air when you do that, so don't go overboard!

^?The pretty bubbles are poisonous. Be careful! If you breathe one in, you'll choke!

^?Hey, are you collecting Tadtones?

Yep.

Nope.

^?Oh...sorry.

^?I'll let you in on a secret, then.

Some Tadtones hang out in groups. You have to catch those similar Tadtones one right after the other, or they'll swim out of your score. If you want to catch a bunch at once, use a spin maneuver to draw in nearby Tadtones. That's your best bet.

Aside from that...it's really just a matter of keeping at it!

^?Some Tadtones hang out in groups. You have to catch those similar Tadtones one right after the other, or they'll swim out of your score. If you want to catch a bunch at once, use a spin maneuver to draw in nearby Tadtones. That's your best bet.

^?If you don't collect Tadtones of the same color one right after another, they'll wriggle out of your score. But don't work yourself into a panic!

^?If you make those spiky things explode, you're in for a world of hurt. They're like bombs!

^?Tadtones get along with everybody. You can usually find them where other fish are swimming.

^?Hurry back! The Water Dragon is waiting!

^?Those big fish are scary. They charge you for no reason! So testy... I'm glad none of them are around right now.

^?The ferocious fish are baaaaack! SWIM FOR YOUR LIFE!

They can't follow you if you dive deep!

^?Tadtones store oxygen in their bodies, so when you catch one, it will restore some of your air.

^?The Kikwi elder has been looking for you. Why don't you go and hear what he has to say?

^?The woods have been flooded!

^?The Water Dragon is furious!

^?There aren't as many monsters in the woods anymore.

^?The woods are a lake now!

^?Signs indicate this is a reference to your dowsing ability.

It is a valid suggestion, Master. I am familiar with the unique aura signatures of Tadtones.

^?I will calibrate your dowsing ability to locate Tadtones. This capability should prove to be quite useful in your search.

However, please note that you cannot use your dowsing ability underwater.

^?Hey, hey! The current is pretty strong past here. If you're heading outside, you better use the exit above!

^?It's a human!

The current is strong beyond this point. It's too swift for a human like you to swim through, so you better use the exit over there.

250-ForestSiren.msbt

^?Master [Link].

^?As expected, I cannot follow you into this realm, for this trial calls out to your mind alone.

This is the nature of places known as Silent Realms. They are domains of the spirit, accessible only to the goddess's chosen hero. This particular trial, Farore's Silent Realm, tests the limits of your courage.

Your spirit has temporarily separated from your physical body so that you may undertake this challenge.

To reach the location of the flames that will enhance your sword, it is necessary for you to overcome this trial and undergo spiritual growth.

^?I will await your return in the outside world.

^?That is your Spirit Vessel.

When this vessel is full, it will signify you have successfully completed the trial, allowing your spirit to grow.

This, in turn, will allow the goddess to bless you with a new power.

^?To fill the Spirit Vessel, you need to search for something known as a Tear of Farore. There are many of them spread across this strange world.

^?Master, do you see the glowing object just in front of you?

^?That is a Tear of Farore. You will need to collect 15 of them.

^?However, this is not as simple a task as it would seem. Your work in this realm is referred to as a trial for good reason.

^?If you take even a single step outside the protective circle you stand in, the Guardians of this realm will wake up and pursue you, Master.

^?If a Guardian manages to land even a single hit on you, your spirit will shatter and you will fail the trial.

^?You must collect the tears scattered throughout this area and fill the Spirit Vessel without being hit by an attack.

^?Understood, Master.

I will be eagerly awaiting your return in the outside world.

May the goddess watch over you, Master.

^?Was my explanation clear, Master? Do you want me to explain again?

Explain again.

I got it.

^?Which topic do you wish to review?

The Spirit Vessel?

Guardians?

Silent Realm?

Never mind.

^?Understood, Master.

^?The Silent Realm is a spirit world that only the goddess's chosen hero is allowed to enter.

You have separated from your physical form and exist in this world as a spirit.

The tasks you perform here test your spiritual resolve. You must focus and complete the trial.

^?When your Spirit Vessel is filled with 15 tears, your spirit will grow and you will be blessed by the goddess with a new power. Master, I will await your return in the outside world.

^?Master [Link], I can unfortunately confirm that you have failed to pass the trial.

^?Collect all the tears within the Silent Realm. I shall await your return here.

^?Master, so long as you have the will and determination, you can retry a trial as many times as you like.

A good strategy is to find, but then deliberately not pick up, the most- easily-accessible tears until you are discovered and really need one. Collect the 15 tears and complete the trial. I will await your return in the outside world.

^?The locations of tears you have gathered during your trial are marked on the map.

You will have an easier time completing your task if you first set out to discover the locations of all 15 tears.

^?Two types of Watchers patrol the realm, looking for intruders. I highly suggest you take caution.

So long as you do not step into their light, you will remain undetected by flying Sky Watchers.

However, the Earth Watchers, who hover near the ground, will give chase if you come too close to them, so stay alert and maintain a safe distance.

^?Master, the chances of your not being the chosen one are increasing...

Repeated attempts at this trial have scattered your concentration and made your performance erratic. I suggest you rest awhile before trying again.

^?I suggest using smart tactics to your advantage. Try leaving easy-to-collect tears for when you are being pursued.

^?The locations of tears that you have previously collected will be marked on the map, so make good use of that.

Confirm the locations of all 15 tears first to increase your chances of successfully completing the trial.

^?Master, in addition to the Guardians who will attack you, there are also two types of Watchers that search for intruders on the ground and in the sky. The two types of Watchers exhibit dramatically different behavior, so be sure you understand how to avoid detection by both.

^?The unusual liquid substance that covers that area is known as Waking Water, and it has certain unique properties. If you make contact with Waking Water, the Guardians will be immediately alerted to your presence.

Pools of Waking Water are located all throughout the area. I suggest you watch where you step...

^?We're here, [Link]! Show me what you've got!

251-Salvage.msbt

^?I can verify with only 40% accuracy that this person is a plant. However, Owlan's field of study includes cataloging unidentified plant species. We can take this creature to Skyloft using the robot. Would you like to call the robot?

Please!

No, thanks.

^?Yes, Master. Simply inspect the specimen again if you change your mind and wish to take it to Skyloft.

^?Yes, Master. I will signal the robot with a telepathic transmission.

^?Mistress Fi! I hope you weren't waiting long, bzzzzat! So you want me to carry this, zrrbt?

^?I'll be waiting for you up in the sky, so don't take too long, vrrrt!

^?Master, I suggest we also return to the sky and carry the Kikwi to its destination quickly.

^?Move it! Move it! Zrrppt! Forcing me to tell you this every time reduces my overall efficiency, brrzt!

^?Oh, hello again, kweek! I've been hiding out so long my shoulders are stiff.

What shoulders?

Poor thing.

^?How rude! I do have shoulders, kweek--they're just not very pronounced!

All I was trying to say is that constantly hiding from danger is a stressful way to live, koo-keek!

^?That's right, kwee! Sitting in one spot all the time, never knowing when danger is going to come along...kook. You can't know what that's like!

^?I bet there are still tons of horrible monsters out there waiting to scratch me and do mean things, koo-weep!

We Kikwis have to spend our entire lives hiding like this just to survive, kwee-koo!

^?Everyone seems happy that peace has returned to the forest... But I don't believe it for a second, koo-kakoo!

There's no way I'm going to give up and come out of hiding. Not ever, kee-woop!

^?But sometimes I wonder, keep-eep... Isn't there somewhere peaceful I can live without fear, without having to hide?

There is!

I can help.

^?Oh! That's fantastic news, koo-karoo! I want you to take me there as soon as you can!

^?You've got some nerve, ko-ko-ko! How dare you promise to take me to the skies, kee-roo, and then suddenly change your mind! I was so sad thinking I would never get to settle down somewhere safe, kee-reep!

^?So! Take me with you this time, ka-koo!

Kee-karoo! Don't let me down!

^?Take me to a peaceful place where I can live in comfort without having to hide, kee-roo!

I'm counting on you, keek-eep!

^?Look who it is...

^?I thought that tornado I stirred up would have tossed and torn you apart, yet here you are. Not in pieces.

^?Not that your life or death has any consequence.

^?It's just the girl that matters now, and I can sense her here...just beyond this door.

Yes, we plucked Her Majesty from her perch in the clouds, and now she's ours.

^?Oh, but listen to me. I'm being positively uncivil. Allow me to introduce myself.

I am the Demon Lord who presides over this land you look down upon, this world you call the surface. You may call me Ghirahim. In truth, I very much prefer to be indulged with my full title: Lord Ghirahim. But I'm not fussy.

^?Did you really just draw your sword? Foolish boy.

^?By all rights the girl should have fallen into our hands already.

^?She was nearly ours when that loathsome servant of the goddess snatched her away.

Do you have any idea how that made me feel inside?

^?Furious! Outraged! Sick with anger!

^?This turn of events has left me with a strong appetite for bloodshed.

^?Still...it hardly seems fair, being of my position, to take all of my anger out on you.

Which is why I promise up front not to murder you...

^?No, I'll just beat you within an inch of your life!

^?Master, I have a message written in the language of the gods of old. Allow me to translate for you.

^?From the edge of time I guide you, the one chosen to carry out the goddess's mission.

^?The spirit maiden who descended from the clouds must travel to two sacred places to purify her body.

You stand in one of these places: Skyview Spring. The other is known as the Earth Spring.

^?This second spring is hidden away deep within the scorched earth of Eldin.

The spirit maiden, ever mindful of the heavy task entrusted to her, has set out for this second sacred place.

^?You got the Ruby Tablet! The weathered surface of this heavy stone tablet feels very old.

^?Raise your sword, Master.

^?The flames of Farore have improved your sword, making it longer and sharp enough to do twice as much damage!

^?The sacred flame has purified your blade, enhancing and evolving it.

^?With your sword now enhanced, you are ready to learn a new melody. We should return to the Isle of Songs.

^?Who dares to dip even a toe in my waters without my leave?

^?Oh, I remember you. You're the young human who helped me recover from my injuries some time ago. Ah...[Link], was it?

^?Let's have a look at you... Yes, you seem a good deal stronger than the last time we met.

And look at that sword... You're the real thing, boy. It's clear you have the spirit of a hero of the goddess.

^?Let me guess... You swam all the way here to try to get me to teach you the part of the Song of the Hero the goddess entrusted to me.

^?That's all well and good, but I can't go around giving away something that precious to every hero who flounders into my waters. No, I think a final test is in order to ensure you are in fact the one meant to hear this melody of mine.

This may be news to you, but some very irksome monsters have been overrunning my woods of late.

Well, I decided that I'd had enough! The easiest way to deal with the awful things was to flood the whole woods.

^?As it happens, almost every inch of greenery in the area is submerged. So it's here, in this flooded land, that I will test you. If you're up to completing the task I ask of you, I see no reason why I shouldn't reward you with the melody you seek.

^?As you just saw, I have split the melody you seek among my many Tadtones and I have hidden them around the forest.

^?If you haven't already guessed, [Link], here's your task: take this score and collect all my little musical friends out there.

^?You can use that score to figure out how many Tadtones are in each group. Find them, collect them, and bring them back to me.

^?If you can do that, well, then I'll just have to see you as someone worthy of learning the Song of the Hero.

^?You learned part of the Song of the Hero!

^?Ah, you've brought back all my colorful little Tadtones.

You are indeed worthy of being called a hero. This much is clear. I'm good for my word, so I will teach you my part of the song you seek.

^?Originally, I had planned to keep these woods underwater so that those awful monsters could never return.

But your task is far from over, and you're not exactly at home in the water. I suppose I'll return the woods to their natural state. All this excitement has been rather draining. I believe I'll retire to my hall. You'd best be on your way as well.

^?Master, I require your confirmation. You are currently attempting to ascertain the location of Zelda.

Are you familiar with how to use dowsing to search for Zelda?

Of course!

I forgot...

^?Master, this is Eldin Volcano. It is an active volcano rich with the power of the earth.

^?Approximately 65% of the region is covered by lava. It is inhabited by a large number of creatures that thrive in the extreme heat and direct flame.

^?Please exercise caution with flammable materials such as wood and fabric.

^?In the event you catch on fire, I highly recommend you extinguish the flames by performing a forward roll or a spin attack.

^?Master [Link], I require your confirmation on critical information obtained from that Mogma conversation. The oddly garbed figure taken deeper into the region must be...

Zelda!

Woman in black?

^?My calculations agree, Master. There is a 90% probability the figure in question was indeed Zelda.

^?The woman in black? The probability of your assessment being correct is...10%. Rounded up.

I conclude the subject was likely Zelda.

^?Additionally, I calculate there is a 95% probability that the key to this door is made of the same material composition as this mechanism that bars it.

^?I have detected objects of the same material in the surrounding area.

Ascertaining the location of these objects will aid in our search for Zelda. I have registered them as dowsing targets.

^?Of course you do. My apologies. Please continue your search for Zelda.

^?Understood, Master. To begin dowsing, press and hold [C].

Use the Wii Remote to select a dowsing target. You will be able to sense the target through the tip of your sword.

The closer you get to the target, the stronger the sword's reaction will become. You will be alerted with a vibration and audible cue. You may also use the cursor to gauge an accurate direction of the target's location.

Please select Zelda as your dowsing target and commence your search.

^?Master, I am detecting extremely high temperatures from the area directly ahead.

I calculate a 95% chance your clothing will immediately combust upon entrance. Please proceed with caution.

You may be able to pass through safely if you run. I recommend confirming your direction by dowsing before making the attempt.

^?Master, I am detecting extremely high temperatures from the area ahead. You will not survive this environment with your heart total. Additionally, dowsing results do not support this path. Please reconfirm the correct direction to proceed.

^?Master, I am detecting extremely high temperatures from the area directly ahead.

You will not survive this environment with your current heart total. I recommend you turn back.

^?Master, the abilities of your sword have increased. It is now possible to dowse for Rupees.

I have registered Rupees as a viable dowsing target. Use this exciting new feature as you deem necessary.

^?Whoa! Now there's a green one!

^?One of your people just came charging through here. Dressed all in black! That a friend of yours?

^?See that up ahead? That's what we call a drop-dead dead end, but this character danced right over it.

^?Seriously? Jumping over a gap like that? My jaw hit the dirt.

^?The mountains ahead are crawling with those red troublemakers, but...

I got a feeling that shady so-and-so is gonna zip right on by 'em.

Can you imagine treasure hunting with someone who could do that? You got yourself some good friends, don'tcha?

^?Grrr... Those creeps just shimmied on in and took over our territory.

^?Yeow! What're you doing? Don't be sneakin' up on me like that!

Huh? You're looking for your friend? Can't help you there. Nobody's come through here, so...

Maybe they went up the mountain from over thataway.

^?Ahh... Wish someone would chase these clowns outta here.

^?Now there's an idea! Why don'tcha make yourself useful and get rid of 'em? Yeah, like that's gonna happen...

^?What's that? You really sent those creeps packing?

Well, seems like they're extra mad at you, so... Guess it's only natural that you had to handle things.

But did you notice when you start whittling 'em down, they call in reinforcements with that horn? That ain't a fair fight, if you ask me. I bet the horn blower in the blue cap is the leader.

^?When that creep in the blue hat blows his horn, it starts a bad-guy stampede. What're you gonna do about it?

^?Whoa... You took out every last one of 'em...

^?You're one tough customer! Thanks for all your help!

I don't blame you for not knowing this, but us Mogmas always honor our debts. Let me give you something to prove it. Any special requests?

A way forward.

Rupees!

^?Oh, right. You're trying to find your friend, aren'tcha?

In that case, take these things! They're something pretty special, if I say so myself.

^?Huh? Rupees? Is that really what you're after?

I mean, it's his reward and all, but...really? Just Rupees? Seems like a waste of a reward opportunity to me. And I don't even have any. Oh wait, I know. I got something good instead. So, hey...uh...I don't exactly have any Rupees on me...

But I got something better! Didn't you say you were looking for a friend? Well, I got something that can help you reach this friend... Take these instead!

^?With these, you should be able to get to the top of that ledge right behind me. Just try digging in that hole below the ledge. You're in for a surprise!

^?It's not like I'm using these things, you know? And they're WAY better than Rupees!

^?I just hope your friend hasn't been captured by those red guys. Here's hoping everything's OK.

^?Hey, I'm hoping you find your friend all in one piece!

^?Hmm... I'm sure they buried it around here someplace, but I can't find it.

^?Yo, Ledd! This is the place, ain't it? So what is it they buried again?

^?A key! K-E-Y, KEY!

^?They busted up the key to that door and hid the pieces all over the place.

I'm telling you, one of the five pieces is buried right around here.

^?Hey, that reminds me... That strange blonde girl in the weird clothes got taken away too.

^?That's right! I bet they got something really valuable stashed in there.

And that blonde girl they took is probably part of their master plan too. I'm telling you, I can smell the riches from here!

^?So what're you saying we do once we find all the pieces to the key?

^?Whaddya think, igneous? We sneak inside and take all the treasure we can carry!

^?Hey... Why are we so worried about a key when we can just dig our way in?

^?What? Um...

^?Just sayin'.

^?You ain't as dumb as you look!

^?Hey! Hey! HEY! Y-you mess with our turf and you're gonna...pay?

^?Whoa! You're not... Yo, Ledd, I don't think this is one of those red creeps.

^?Y-y-yeah, I think you're right... No reason to scare the hair off us, though!

Sorry 'bout that, pal. These monsters showing up and messing with our turf has got me on edge.

They show up here, and I'm gonna knock the red clean out of 'em! That's what I'm doing here. Yeah, me, Ledd.

^?Yeah, whatever, Mr. Too Scared to Dig in the Dark.

^?Anyway, if you're looking for treasure, you should stay clear of those red guys.

^?Huh? You're looking for a friend? NOT treasure?

So that must have been your pal that passed by earlier, sprinting by without so much as a glance in this direction.

It was sorta a blur of movement, so I didn't get a real good look, but I knew it wasn't one of those red creeps.

Your pal must have gone straight up here, so why don't you follow?

^?Us Mogmas have claimed this territory to search around for riches. We're what you'd call treasure hunters.

There are loads of these red, blue, and green stones called Rupees around here. Sometimes you can even find silver and gold ones too. And while they ain't technically treasure, you can also find these tough mineral chunks. I bet you could use 'em to make stuff. Since you're here and all, you might as well look around, right?

^?The one that went running through here looked kinda like you.

I don't think he was dressed in green, though.

^?There are loads of these red, blue, and green stones called Rupees around here. Sometimes you can even find silver and gold ones too. And while they ain't technically treasure, you can also find these tough crystals. I bet you could use them to make stuff.

^?Gyaah! Sneak attack!

Wait... You ain't one of those red guys. Don't creep up on me like that! Almost had to tackle ya there.

Didn't mean to yell at ya, but those red jerks moved in and have been stinking up our turf, ya know?

^?They came up through that hole back there, so I sunk the road leading to it in lava. That'll stop more of 'em from moving in, I'd say.

^?Of course, we can tunnel underneath it, so it's no sweat for us. Pretty clever, right?

^?So stay away from the plug that's holding back the lava. It'll do more than singe your brows off. Bye now!

^?Gyaah! Sneak attack! Hey, where'd all the lava go? Now the road's open again! You won't get away with this!

^?Whoa! You scared me silly! You can't just start digging right above my head, you know?

But I get where you're coming from. You never know what you're going to find when you dig, so it's impossible to stop! Rupees are the most common treasure you'll dig up, but sometimes you might even score Eldin Ore or some hearts!

So if you run across a hole and you've got the time, dig, dig, dig!

^?Whoa! You scared me silly! You can't just start digging right above my head, you know?

But I get where you're coming from. You never know what you're going to find when you dig. That's what makes it so impossible to stop! Rupees are the most common thing you'll dig up, but you might get some Eldin Ore as well!

Used to be plenty of hearts buried down here too, but weirdly enough I haven't seen any recently. Go figure.

Anyhow, if you run across a hole and you've got the time, dig, dig, dig!

^?Oh, hey! Sometimes these red, blobby things will pop out too. Disgusting! Be careful not to let 'em grab you.

^?Hey, you! You're gonna try your mitts at Tubert's Thrill Digger game, right?

Pssst. You want some top-secret info? It's guaranteed to make you rich! R-I-C-H.

Now since you'll be lining your pockets with Rupees, it's only fair I get a little piece of the pie. And I want my pie now, thank you.

^?I've got a super-discount price just for you, buddy. How does 20 Rupees sound?

Deal!

No, thanks.

^?Heh, heh... That's the spirit! Now you've got to promise me this stays between the two of us. You gotta keep your trap shut. Got it?

^?The color of the Rupee you dig up will tell you how many bad holes are around you.

Like if you dig up a green Rupee, there are no bad holes around it!

A blue Rupee will have one or two bad holes. A red Rupee will have three or four, and a silver Rupee has got five or six. If you're lucky enough to dig up a rare gold Rupee, there will be seven or eight bad holes nearby. There are almost no good holes!

^?What do you think? Makes planning where to dig a bit easier, don't it?

But at the end of the day, it comes down to luck. YOUR luck. So just do the best you can, and cross your fingers or something.

^?Why you gotta be such a Rupee pincher? Fortune's knocking at your door, pal.

All right, it's your call. You change your mind, come see me. The info will cost you 20 Rupees.

^?You listening? You've gotta remember this. There are no bad holes around a green Rupee.

A blue Rupee will have one or two bad holes around it, and a red Rupee will have three or four.

A silver Rupee will be surrounded by five or six bad holes and a gold Rupee by seven or eight. Those are the rules!

The only thing standing between you and being filthy rich is luck. Here's hoping you're luckier than you look. Heh heh.

^?C'mon, pal! You ain't got enough Rupees.

Unless you bring me exactly 20 Rupees, I'm not telling you a thing.

^?What? You looking to buy what I'm selling?

^?Secret information on Thrill Digger can be yours for only 20 Rupees.

Tell me!

Nah...

^?Huh? Another stranger? And you're not one of those red creeps, either. I swear this neighborhood's getting crummier every day...

^?Huh? Oh, nothing, just talking to myself. Hey, I saw this funny-dressed character go into that hole over there.

^?It might be the friend you're looking for? You want to know what this kook was wearing?

^?Let's see... Yeah, I'm pretty sure the getup was blackish. Other than that, I don't remember much.

^?I'm pretty sure the getup was blackish. Besides that, I don't remember much.

^?Huh? Who're you supposed to be? Never seen you around here before...

Whoa, hold it right there! Are you a friend of those red creeps?

No way!

Red creeps?

^?You're not, huh? Well, you don't look like 'em, that's for sure. You're not THAT ugly.

So what then? You here to pick bomb flowers ?

Bomb what?

Yep.

^?Yeah, monsters carrying big blades? They're crawling all over the place. Can't believe you haven't run into any of 'em. But if you don't know 'em, I guess you're not pals.

So what is it then? You here to pick bomb flowers?

Bomb what?

Yep.

^?Bomb flowers. You're joking, right? Those are them growing right over there.

^?You pick one with [A], and the fuse lights. A few seconds later...BOOM! You don't wanna stop and sniff this flower. Dangerous plants, believe me. But once you learn to use them, they're a powerful weapon. Us Mogmas are crazy about 'em!

You can toss and roll them the same way you do jars. See what you can do with those bomb flowers over there.

Um... Huh? You do know how to roll and throw stuff, right?

Uh-huh.

Not really...

^?That's what I figured. You can pick some pretty powerful ones in this area.

Look! There are some right over there! Take as many as you want.

^?I'm sure you already know this, but once you pick a flower with [A], the fuse starts burning. Then it'll blow up in just a couple of seconds. You can also toss or roll them, just like you can with some other stuff. You should practice.

Um...huh? You do know how to roll stuff, right?

Yep.

Not really...

^?Of course you do! You use the Wii Remote. Point it up and swing it forward to throw things. Point it down and swing it forward to roll 'em. I mean, hey, everyone knows that!

^?Don't know any of this stuff, huh? No worries, pal. I gotcha covered with all the info you need.

When you've got a bomb flower, point the Wii Remote up!

The trajectory of the bomb will show up for ya, so all ya do is line it up with your target and swing it down to chuck it! A trajectory guide will also show up if you point the Wii Remote down. Swing it up to roll the bomb along that guideline! To reach places up high, it's best to throw bombs, but to cover distances or pass through narrow spaces, rolling is definitely the way to go.

^?I'm stating the obvious here, but you can pick up and put down bomb flowers with [A], the same way you do with jars.

When you're holding something, point up and swing the Wii Remote down to throw it.

To roll it, point down and swing the Wii Remote up.

Go on and practice a bit with those bomb flowers over there.

^?You, uh...know you don't have a Bomb Bag, don'tcha?

Without a Bomb Bag, you can't safely carry bomb flowers with you when you're out and about. You won't find a Mogma without one. What? Why are you staring at me like that?

No! No way, no how. You are not getting my bag. You'll have to be satisfied with blowing up stuff right around here.

^?Hey! Welcome to my place! Make yourself at home.

What? Of course this is my house!

OK, OK, those red creeps built it, but... They split, right? So what's the harm?

Us Mogmas live in the ground, so we don't have what you would call "houses." I just wanted to see what it felt like to say "Welcome to my place!"

^?Back again, huh? Don't mind me or anything--it's just MY HOUSE!

What? What do you mean I didn't have to tunnel all the way up here?

Look, I know it's a run-down, dirty hovel, but it's MINE! And I want to know who's dropping by my dirty hovel.

Oh, and just 'cause you're all rested doesn't mean you can roll around and bust the place up!

^?Do me a favor, will ya? Try not to go crazy and roll around all over the place. Dust bunnies, ya know?

^?Hey, you! Long time no see. Thanks for helping me earlier.

Speaking of helping, did you find that friend you were looking for?

Sure did!

Not yet...

^?You did? Heyyy, that's great news! Huh? You haven't rescued her?

Don't look so glum, pal. I'm sure you'll figure it out and save her. Never give up!

^?Oh, really? You think those red creeps might have...gulp...you know?

What? You know she's still alive? Then everything's gonna be fine! Stop with the sad face, will ya?

You give up, she's done for. That's why ya can't ever, ever crawl into your tunnel defeated. Ya hear me?

^?I just know your friend's waiting on you. That's why ya can't ever, ever give up!

^?Just curious, but...what do ya think those red guys eat, anyway?

^?You're looking pretty chipper, pal.

You come back here to do some treasure hunting this time? In that case, I'll let you in on a little secret.

Eldin Volcano is riddled with hidden caves. You can find 'em by checking around for thin walls with cracks.

You can find all kinds of things in these caves. It's mostly Rupees, but ya never know. I got a hunch there's one right around here somewhere...

^?Huh? It was right there all along? Nice work, greenie.

^?You can find caves aboveground and belowground. I bet you can sniff out thin walls wherever you go!

^?I got a hunch there's one around here somewhere...

^?Around here, you can find little pockets or caves hidden behind thin, cracked walls. Who knows what you might find in those places...

^?You're looking pretty chipper, pal. You come back to do some treasure hunting?

You may already know this, but Eldin Volcano is riddled with hidden caves.

You can find 'em by checking around for thin, cracked walls.

You can find all kinds of things in these caves. It's mostly Rupees, sure, but ya never know. If you get the itch for loot, you should try some cave hunting.

^?Hey, you! I hope you're taking good care of my Bomb Bag.

By the way, you ever been to the heart of Eldin Volcano?

It's so hot down there it'll burn the clothes right off your back. POOF! Your average traveler will be dead in minutes. But if you survive... Well, rumor has it there are amazing ruins overflowing with piles and mountains of treasure.

Course, it's nothing for my people to just tunnel right in there, ya know? Yeah... I may have to make the effort sometime in the near future.

^?Long-lost ruins in the heart of a volcano... Heh... Now that's a tale to get any treasure hunter's heart pumping!

^?Hey, you! Did ya make it to the ruins?

I decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Boy, was my partner steamed!

He kept shouting, "All you had to do was dig your way in! How hard could it be?" He's right too. Digging would have made it easy. Heh heh...

^?Wonder where the next treasure might be... Gotta remember not to forget about the whole digging thing.

^?Hey, you. Hope you're taking good care of my Bomb Bag.

I was nice enough to give it to you, so be sure you put it to good use. Oh, and don't burn a hole in it!

^?Wonder where my search for riches will lead me next... A treasure hunter's journey never ends. Heh heh...

^?Hey, you! You've really got those guys' attention. And it looks like they're spoiling for a fight.

Take one for the rest of us and chase 'em outta here, will you?

^?Hey! No running away! Take care of these creeps, will ya?

^?You got those creeps all worked up, so now you've got to take care of 'em!

But they keep using that horn to call in reinforcements. They just keep coming and coming!

I bet the horn blower in the blue hat is the leader.

^?Eldin Volcano

^?You, the goddess's chosen hero...

^?Zelda is ahead... Hurry.

301-MountainD1.msbt

^?My partner's gone missing, and those red guys are everywhere! I never shoulda come here.

^?Oh, it's you again. Come all this way in search of your friend, eh?

That reminds me... Before I came in here, I saw a weird-looking blonde girl get dragged away.

But don't even dream about going to the rescue. Those baddies are everywhere!

If you wanna live to...live again one day, you should head for home, pal!

^?Blast! I must have dropped it earlier...

^?Hey! Nice timing, pal. It's me, Ledd!

You showing up here must mean we're connected somehow. You know, like fate or something. Anyways, do me a favor and get my Bomb Bag, OK?

^?I was behind that rock looking for treasure when those creeps showed up. I panicked and hit the road, but it looks like I dropped it.

^?It's a bag for carrying around bomb flowers. I can't imagine not having one. Oh, hey...I guess I don't have to imagine it, 'cause I lost mine! Anyway, it's back there... Do me a favor and get my Bomb Bag back, will you?

^?Oh, right... You can't tunnel, so you can't get back there. Hmm...

You should be able to blow your way in there with a bomb flower.

Why don't you start by seeing if there are any bomb flowers in the area?

^?I think you should be able to blow your way in there. Why don't you search the area for some bomb flowers?

^?Heh heh, nice work. Rolling bomb flowers through there--that's the mark of a real professional adventurer!

Keep it up, and go grab my Bomb Bag!

^?Heyyyyy! You found my Bomb Bag!

Sorry to put you through that. I guess I owe you one now! So let me have it...

What's this, now? You want to borrow it so you can go deeper into the volcano?

Oh, right. You're looking for your friend. You sure have put yourself out there, getting this far...

That reminds me! How's MY pal?

Gone...

Worried!

No idea.

^?Seriously? Can't depend on anybody these days...

Let me take that back. Looks like your friend can count on you, though, right? You've risked life and limb to get here.

I'm not letting you borrow my bag, though. Nope. I'm GIVING it to you! Just don't blow yourself up...

^?He's worried? About me? What kind of pal am I, putting him through that?

You must be worried too. Not knowing if your friend's dead or alive...

I'm not letting you borrow my bag, though. Nope. I'm GIVING it to you! Just don't blow yourself up...

^?That so? Hmm... I hope he's OK. Hey...you don't think those monsters have...

You must be worried yourself. Not knowing if your friend's dead or alive or some awful place in between...

I'm not letting you borrow my bag, though. Nope. I'm GIVING it to you! Just don't blow yourself up...

^?Now you've got my Bomb Bag. Go find your friend!

^?Hold up! I forgot to tell you something!

Knowing me, that bag's probably empty, so let me give you a little something to get you started.

^?If you run out of bombs, just find some more and fill the bag back up.

When you've got a bomb flower, press [B] to put it in the bag. Don't forget!

That bag can hold up to 10 bombs. So if you run across bomb flowers, be sure to fill up the bag.

^?Let me ask you something. You ever been set on fire when you're fighting bad guys?

Do yourself a favor and put the fire out quick! Oh, and never, EVER pull out a bomb when you're covered in flames. Trust me on that.

^?Master [Link]. It appears Zelda has cleansed herself in the waters of this fountain.

Based on the information from the message I just imparted, I project she is traveling to a region known as Lanayru. If you transport this tablet back to the statue in Skyloft, a new column of light will appear that will allow you to travel to the Lanayru region. I suggest you return at once to Skyloft and then set out for the Lanayru region.

^?Master, I detect Zelda's aura in the surrounding area.

^?I detect an especially strong reaction from this chain. I calculate the probability Zelda was bound by it recently at 95%.

^?I surmise Zelda was somehow able to escape and proceed along this path. I suggest we continue with all possible speed.

^?Master, I am detecting new enemies ahead. They appear to be creatures of very significant physical ability.

Press [Z] to target an enemy, then [d-pad down] to call me. I will then share any data I have on that enemy.

^?Oh, it's you.

^?Let me see... No, that's not it. This is so very embarrassing, but I seem to be at a loss for your name.

Not that it matters, really. To tell you the truth, I'm feeling a bit frustrated, and right now I just need someone to vent to.

^?I heard my underlings had finally captured the spirit maiden, so of course I rushed over here. What can I say? I was excited. Flustered, even... But what did I find when I arrived? That agent of the goddess...

^?She had once again...

You see, what I'm trying to say is...

^?That goddess-serving dog escaped with the girl!

^?I MUST have the spirit maiden in order to resurrect my master! I MUST HAVE HER!

^?...I got a little carried away there, didn't I? I don t deal well with... complications to plans I ve laid out so carefully. It s a character flaw of mine. Ah, but something good can still come from this day! I've had all this bottled- up anger smoldering inside me, and now I can release it.

^?There's someone special I'd like you to meet. Oh, don't be shy! I need to vent all this unhealthy anger, and your agony is such a great stress reliever.

^?It won't take more than a few moments with my friend before you're charred to a satisfying crisp. And let me tell you, that will put a spring in my step!

^?Earth Temple

302-Anahori.msbt

^?Do you like money? How about explosions? Well, dig up some Rupees before you hit a bomb in a suspenseful game of Thrill Digger! Want to try it?

Beginner!

Intermediate!

Expert!

No, thanks.

^?Hope you dig up lots of Rupees! Just be careful what you're poking down in the dirt. Could go KA-BOOM! So uh...good luck!

^?Come back soon!

^?You haven't got enough Rupees. Save some up and then come back!

^?Welcome!

^?Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. First time here, am I right?

^?The name's Tubert. Nice to meet you! I run this little game I like to call Thrill Digger!

^?Here's how it works: you go on and dig up ALL the Rupees you can! Well, until you dig your mitts into a spicy little bomb... Would you like to... Oh, I'm sorry, but you don't look so good. Why not come back when you have some more hearts?

^?If you like, use the seat over there and take a load off.

^?The Beginner course has less spots to burrow into, but it's great for first-timers!

^?It's 30 Rupees to play. Want to give it a go?

You bet!

Nope.

^?The Intermediate course has plenty of spots to sink your mitts into, but watch out for Rupoors.

^?It'll cost you 50 Rupees a go. Interested?

Sure.

Nope.

^?The Expert course has more bombs, sure, but more valuable Rupees too. It could be highly profitable... or highly explosive.

^?Each round costs 70 Rupees. Do you dare to try?

Sure.

Nope.

^?So which course will it be?

Beginner.

Intermediate.

Expert.

None.

^?You should try again. How about another go?

Beginner.

Intermediate.

Expert.

I'm done.

^?You didn't dig up even a single Rupee? Not a one? You poor little digger...

^?Looks like you took a heavy loss. Yep. Well, I'm sorry, my friend.

^?You didn't quite turn a profit. Chalk that up to bad luck, I say.

^?You broke even! No loss. No gain. At least you had yourself some fun, eh? And you got to see an explosion!

^?You made a small profit. Nice digging!

^?Wow, you made yourself a fortune! Congratulations!

^?Well, I'm just stupefied! You dug up all the Rupees! Listen--you earned this prize. Take it!

^?Here's your grand Rupee total: #!

^?Let's see how many Rupees you managed to dig up...

^?Here's a useful tip: low-value Rupees have only a few bad spots nearby, so you can relax a little.

But the higher the value of the Rupee, the more bad spots are nearby. Be careful of the spaces surrounding a valuable Rupee! If your first burrow digs up a bomb... you'll just have to admit defeat and try again. But don't let it get to you!

^?You look a bit tired out. Why not rest up until you get a few hearts back?

^?There's a stool over there. It ain't exactly lined with satin pillows, but go ahead and take a load off.

^?Sorry. There's a time limit here, and you just hit it. Time's up!

^?I wish you'd hurry up about it. Your time's almost up...

^?Ah, you're taking a break? Too much suspense for you?

Well then, will you take a load off and chat with me a bit?

OK.

Not now.

^?Oh...that's too bad. Anyway, once you've rested up, I hope you'll consider giving Thrill Digger a try.

^?Oh, yes! OK, OK...is there anything you want to ask me?

Who are you?

Are you floating?

Is it too bright for you?

Nothing.

^?My name is Tubert! I run this game I like to call Thrill Digger! Yep, I'm kind of important around here.

You could even call me Mr. Tubert. You know, if you want to. Thanks, kid.

I want everyone to get their claws on plenty of Rupees, so I made up this Thrill Digger thing!

The sad thing is there's been a scary- red-monster infestation in these parts lately, and it's been bad for business. Almost nobody comes to play! Some days I wish someone would just demolish those ugly towers with a bang and send them scampering away.

^?My name is Tubert! I run this game I like to call Thrill Digger! Yep, I'm kind of important around here.

You could even call me Mr. Tubert. You know, if you want to. Thanks, kid.

I want everyone to get their hands on plenty of Rupees, so I made up this Thrill Digger thing!

The sad thing is all my Mogma friends think Rupees are easy to find. They never come and play...

So that's why I need you to step up and become not just a repeat customer, but my only customer!

^?My name is Tubert! I run this game I like to call Thrill Digger! Yep, I'm kind of important around here.

You could even call me Mr. Tubert. You know, if you want to. Thanks, kid.

^?You mean my glasses? Looking dapper, eh? The round frames make me look even more fashionable!

^?And I'm plenty proud of my fine mustache too! Cute and curly, all the way. I groom it every day! Wait. That rhymed, didn't it?

^?But it's only to be expected. I can't have my customers upset by my looks!

^?No, it's not too bright. I just wear these to look cool.

^?No, I'm not floating. I'm standing on my tail.

^?I don't need to tell you that my paws are my best feature.

^?I like to give all my customers a chance to admire them. That's why I stand on my tail--it does wonders for sales!

^?I'm not floating, no. I just want customers to see my cute little paws, so I'm standing on my tail.

^?So what do you want to ask me next?

Who are you?

Are you floating?

Is it too bright for you?

Nothing.

^?Really? That's a shame. Well, take a nice break. Thrill Digger is waiting for you whenever you're in the mood to poke around for Rupees and bombs!

^?Really? What a shame...

But thanks for asking all those great questions! Actually, here, let me tell you something.

You see the shining stone sticking out of the wall? That's pure Rupee Ore! It's also why there are so many Rupees to dig up here. If you sling something at it, it'll pop right out. Go on and give it a try!

^?Thank you very much for your participation in Thrill Digger.

Here's a helpful tip: low-value Rupees have only a few bad spots nearby, so you can relax a little. But the higher the value of the Rupee, the more bad spots are nearby, so watch it. See you again soon!

^?Get moving, Master Shortpants! I'll be following right behind you, zrrt!

^?Whoa! Sure is hot here, brrzrrt. No sweat, though, because I'm a cutting-edge, zzort, robot!

^?Hey! This isn't the right way, zrrt! Do you need to stop and ask for directions?

^?Are we almost there? Let's get a move on, brzzt!

^?Bzzzrpt! Where are you going now? I'll wait here if you've got an errand to run, zzzt, but get going!

^?Zzzbt! I'm in trouble over here! Hurry up and help me, bzzzzat!

^?HEY! Brzzpt! I need help...NOW!

^?ZZRRRPT!

^?MAL-MAL-MALfunction! Zzrrt! Too...zzrrggt...damage...bzzzz...

^?Do better this time, zzbrrrt!

^?HEY! I can't use that, zzrrpt! You're going to have to walk!

^?Brrzt! Wait for me!

^?I can't see you, brrrzt! Open your map with [+] and see where I am. Then come get me, brzzzpt!

^?Monsters! Zrrrbt, are you going to handle those or what?!

^?Bzzzrt! Help! DANGER!

^?Monsters, zzzbrt! I can't stand monsters!

^?HEY! Just how long, zzrrt, do I have to wait for you? Press [+] and use your map to find me, brzzzt!

^?Why are you so, zzzrrrt, SLOW? Press [+] to open your map and confirm my location!

^?Brrzpt! What are you doing? Get over here already! If you don't know where I am, press [+] to open your map, zzzrt!

^?It's about time, bzrrt! Don't leave me hanging like that.

^?Bzzzort! What do you think you're doing?

^?HEY! Keep that up, and you're going to break something, zzbrrt!

^?Master, the robot is waiting at the volcano. I suggest you return there.

^?Where have you been, zzzrbt! Get me to the top of the volcano! Now, brrzzt!

^?Don't leave me! Press [+] to open your map to find me, zzrrt!

^?You want me to pour the water on this? No problem, zzzbrt!

^?Did you see that, Mistress Fi?

^?If there's anything else I can do to be of assistance, zzzzrp, just call me! Anytime, zzzrbtzz!

^?What's going on, brzzt? I almost blew a rotor trying to slow myself during that descent, zrbt... Anyway, this is where you wanted the water, right? WHAT?! THE SUMMIT? Why didn't you say so from the start, bzzrt? I don't want to carry this thing back to the sky. IT'S HEAVY, BRZZZT! Bzzzrt...zrrbt...tzzptrr.

^?This place is, zrrrt, swarming with monsters. Vrrrrrm...

^?I bust up enemies like a junkyard wrecker, zzizat! Too bad I've got my mitts full with this basin, bzzz...

^?Hey, Master Shortpants! Since we came all this way, let's play a little game called "protect the robot," bzzrt!

Here's how it works--I'll follow you up the volcano, zzzrt, and you make sure nothing touches me. Got it? Good!

^?Your job is simple, zzrrt! You make sure none of these monsters lays a claw on me. NOT...ONE...CLAW!

^?Oh, hey! We meet again. How have you been, bud?

I rumbled over here 'cause I heard someone had spotted Goddess Cubes in the area.

You may have already found some, but I got a feeling there are some others hidden away around here.

You might think about searching for them yourself when you get the time.

^?I have got a hunch there are still Goddess Cubes on this mountain. You should see if you can find them.

^?Oh, hey! We meet again. How have you been, bud?

I rumbled over here 'cause I heard someone had spotted some Goddess Cubes in the area.

I have got a hunch they may be down in that direction, but...this flaming wall of fire is blocking the way!

^?Hey! Are you here looking for Goddess Cubes too? Nice work getting past that hot spot back there, bud.

The heat back there did not bother me a bit, but these flames right here are another matter.

^?I wish there was something we could do to put out these flames...

^?"Quench my thirst"? Hmm... That reminds me. If you head back out of here and turn right, you will end up outside. I found a spring there. Let me tell you, bud, that water was dee-licious!

No idea how you would bring it in here, though. I doubt those weird-looking frog beasts would carry it for you. Got any ideas?

^?Well, I know if you head out of here and hang a right, you will find this nice, refreshing spring, but...

Yeah, I am not sure what you should do, to be honest.

^?Hey, the flames are out! Now we can get through here.

^?More flames... This is starting to burn me up...

^?Hate to ask you this, bud, but could you do the fire-extinguisher routine again?

^?Hey! Nice work, bud. Now we are getting somewhere!

^?Do you see this, bud? Talk about intriguing! We are definitely off the map here.

This does not feel like Goddess Cube stuff to me! I bet there is something super important hidden around here!

^?All I can say is that is a big frog with a big thirst. I do not think the amount of water one of your little bottles can hold is going to cut it this time.

^?Hmmm... You will have to have a big container to hold the water needed for this job. Got anything like that?

And speaking of which, where are you going to get all the water? I gotta say, I am pretty much stumped.

^?How are we supposed to give this fellow enough water? Whatever it is, it is going to have to be one big container...

You have been adventuring all over the place, right? You got any ideas?

^?Lots of water and something to carry it around in... Any bright ideas on where to find those things, bud?

^?You are something else, bud! There is nothing you cannot do!

You go ahead on in! You have earned the right to blaze this trail.

^?Well, how was it? What did you find?

Traps!

Monsters!

^?Is that so? Hmm... Guess I will leave the exploring past here to you, bud.

By the way, I have got a hunch there is a Goddess Cube somewhere nearby.

And my hunches are usually spot on, so you should take a good look around.

^?Is that so? Hmm... Guess I will leave the exploring past here to you, bud.

I am going to head out to another location and continue my research. Give me a holler if you see me again.

^?I am off to continue my research, bud. I am sure I will bump into you again!

^?Well, look who we have here! You still looking for your friend?

Of course, I'm on the hunt for treasure. Heard there were some fancy ruins out this way...so here I am!

Believe it or not, I haven't found a thing. Got any information for me?

Want to know?

I'm not telling!

^?You know something? Spill it! We're friends, right?

^?Don't get all tight lipped on me now! We're friends, right? Out with it!

^?What? There's some fire blocking your path? Why don'tcha just pour some water on it and move on?

Ya need how much water? Whoa... I get it. So the water we got here's not enough, right?

You know, I hear the little water we got here is fed by some far-off water source called Lake Floria.

So a buddy of mine went huntin' for treasure in Faron Woods, and he told me he used the waterways there to find his way back home. He tells me Lake Floria was just about the biggest lake you could imagine. Bet if you checked it out, there'd be enough water there to solve your dilemma.

^?Too bad you came all this way only to get stopped dead in your tracks. It's just not your lucky day, bud.

Uh...I get the feeling I'm forgetting something important...

I think it's something my buddy told me once, but... Nope, can't remember.

Oh well, back to the water. If you need lots of the wet stuff, you should head over to Lake Floria. I think you'll find what you need.

^?Oh, you again! It's been a looong time, but I remember that face.

Heh heh heh. How're those gloves I invented treatin' ya? Are they up to your satisfaction?

How've I been? Awful nice of ya to ask. Lemme see...

I've been searchin' high and low for new treasure, but I've come up empty pawed.

I gotta say, I'm tired of diggin' after my fortune in this blast furnace.

I'm startin' to think it's time I gave up this life of treasure huntin' and settled down to enjoy my twilight years.

^?If I'm going to retire, I want to live in a place up high with a glorious view.

I've lived most of my life underground, it's true, but I still gaze up at that sky. It's so...big and blue and fluffy.

If I had my way, I'd like to come back in my next life as a bird and spend my time soaring the wild blue yonder.

^?Whoa there! It's my old pal! How ya been, old pal?

Me? Ah, my claws are sharp, and my nose is tuned in to treasure! Yep, I'd say I'm great.

One thing's got me worried, though. See, our elder, Guld, has been actin' kinda odd since going to those ruins. Would ya go and see Guld? He's over thataway somewhere, and I know he'd be happy to see your mug.

^?Guld's wanderin' around over there somewhere. Go see him! Chat with him a bit, ya know?

It might cheer him up to see a familiar face.

^?Hey, pal, did ya go and visit the elder? How's he doin'?

What? Twilight years?

Uh...what are ya talkin' about? Is "twilight years" some sort of code name for a big treasure?

I gotta tell ya, I've never heard of such a thing.

But if that's what the elder wants help with, go on and help him out, will ya?

^?Whoa! It's my old pal! How've you been?

Me? Ah, my claws are sharp, and my nose is tuned in to treasure! I'm great!

One thing's got me worried, though. The tribal elder's been acting odd since going to those ruins. He's just not himself. You talked to him earlier, right? How was he doing?

What? Twilight years?

Uh...what are you talking about? Is "twilight years" some sort of code name for treasure?

I gotta tell you, I've never heard of such a thing. And I know a thing or two about treasure.

But if that's what the elder wants, help him out, will ya?

^?Twilight years, eh? Well, if that's what the elder wants, help an old Mogma out, will ya?

^?Wh-wha-what? The elder got... launched up somewhere? Where'd he go, then?

Up in the sky!

Beyond...

^?The sky? Up in the big, blue stuff, eh?

Oh... Well, he always was talkin' about how much he loved the sky.

I bet he's up there now digging around in the clouds for treasure.

^?Beyond?

Uh...beyond? Whaddya mean "beyond"? Are ya telling me he's "gone" gone?

I mean, we all gotta go sometime, but, wow...

^?Elder...I'm gonna do ya proud--just wait and see. I hope ya watch over me from wherever it is you are now!

^?What do you mean, the elder's back?

Are you saying he can travel between here and the sky? That is one amazing guy, I tell you.

^?Traveling back and forth between here and the sky. The elder is soooo cool!

^?Hey, it's you! That guy from before...

Heh heh heh... Yeah, that was pretty embarrassing.

We're all good now, though, because my pal found out about it.

Truth is he got captured once too. Guess that makes us even. Nothin' for either of us to worry about.

Yeah, anyway, you seen Plats around anywhere?

He was over there.

Nope.

^?Oh, really? We're all cool, then.

I just hadn't seen his ugly mug in a while and, well, you know...

I thought maybe he'd gone and gotten himself all tied up again.

Let me tell ya, that guy's like a trouble magnet!

^?That dirt-brain... I bet he's off on some solo treasure-hunting dig.

He knows he's not supposed to be out by himself. This place is dangerous!

What am I supposed to do, huh? I guess that's what you get when you're treasure hunters. Bunch of guys who don't know when to quit. If you happen to run into Plats, give him my best, will you?

^?The deal with Plats is he only shows some backbone when he's off hunting treasure.

^?Hey, pal! You're still alive!

And by the looks of it, ya got all your loot back too. I knew you had it in ya.

So, uh...did ya find any treasure?

Tons!

Not a thing...

^?Seriously? I'm soooo jealous!

But the world's a big place, ya know? And I'm sure there's more treasure out there for the swiping.

Yeah, I'm not sitting on my tail waiting for it to fall into my lap! You know who's going to find all the loot next time? Me! This guy! That's who!

^?Whaaat? Ya didn't find much of anything? Aw, that's too bad, pal.

Don't get all sad and weepy on me, though. The world's a big place, and it's filled with treasure!

^?All right, then. Where's the next place to hunt for riches, eh?

^?Yo, pal. This your idea of a break room? Battling all them monsters got ya a little run down, huh?

If those creeps with the big shields are as tough as they are ugly, they must be a real pain in the neck.

See, I got some secret information that I'm sure will make your life easier.

^?Of course, nothing comes for free in this day and age. You're gonna have to part with some R-U-P-E-E-S. That spells Rupees, by the way. It's all yours for 30 Rupees. Whaddya say?

Tell me!

Nah.

^?What're you being so stingy for? It's only 30 Rupees.

All right, whatever. Come see me if you change your mind.

^?What's the deal, pal? You don't have enough Rupees, so you're getting a load of nothing from me.

Find yourself 30 Rupees, then come and see me.

^?Thank you very much, pal! Listen up! This is for your ears only. Don't go squawking about it with every mug you meet. Here's the deal... The shields those lugs are carrying around? You can cut them with your sword! What did I tell you? Is that not top-notch info? Watch out for the creeps with the tough iron shields, though--you can't cut them.

Got it, thanks!

What? Is that it?

^?Heh heh... And I've got plenty more info where that came from. You know you want to hear it.

You willing to cough up...another 30 Rupees?

You bet!

No way.

^?Yo! What's up with you giving me that face? You know, the "I've heard it all before" face.

That last tidbit was just the tip of the iceberg, pal. Not that I ever seen one... I got something really juicy here for you. Got another 30 Rupees on you?

Yep!

Nope.

^?I knew there was a reason I liked ya! All right, here goes...

Those thugs are always trying to skewer ya with those monster spears, right? Take one of those in the gut, and it's lights out. If ya time it right, you can repel their attacks and...well, you know what happens after that.

Good info!

I knew that.

^?You bet it is! I put my life on the line to get it too.

And I got more where that came from. This next one's the hidden cherry on top of the secret sundae. It's only 50 Rupees.

Gimme!

No, thanks.

^?You did? Nice work, pal. You're an observant...uhm...whatever you are.

Good thing I saved the best for last! This one's a real showstopper, but it ain't cheap. It'll cost ya 50 Rupees!

I'm in!

No, thanks.

^?Yes! There's not a stingy bone in your body, is there? Truth be told, it makes me a bit worried about ya.

Keep your wits about ya, pal. There are hustlers out there who'll fleece ya for every Rupee you've got.

^?All right, here goes my last secret. Those creeps' shields are huge, right? Like a wall?

Well then, treat 'em like a wall and jab, jab, jab!

I'm not going to tell ya what happens, but I highly recommend ya try it. I think you'll like the results!

Go get 'em, pal! And thanks again for the business.

^?Hey, pal. You still having problems with them mugs with the big shields?

I got some secret information here that will make your life a whole lot easier.

^?But nothing in life is free, ya know? It's gonna cost ya some R-U-P-E-E-S. Yep, 30 Rupees to be exact.

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Hey, pal. You still having problems with them mugs with the big shields?

I got some more secret information that will make your life a whole lot easier.

^?But there's no free lunch, ya hear me? It's gonna cost you some R-U-P-E-E-S. Yep, 30 Rupees to be exact.

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Hey, pal. You still haven't figured out those mugs with the big shields, right?

I've got one last bit of secret info that will make your life a whole lot easier.

^?You know the drill by now, right? It's gonna cost you some R-U-P-E-E-S. And the price for this is 50 Rupees.

OK!

No, thanks.

^?Hey, pal. You bust up those mugs with the big shields yet?

Here's all you got to remember: cut wooden shields, repel spear attacks, and clamber up shields like they were walls. If you keep all that in your head, you'll do just fine. I promise!

^?What are you getting all stingy for? It's a lousy 50 Rupees.

Pfft. Whatever. Come see me if you change your mind.

^?What are you trying to pull, pal? You don't have enough Rupees!

Come back when you've managed to scrape together 50 Rupees, all right?

^?Quench my thirst to clear your path.

^?Master, I have information for you. With the enhanced capabilities of your sword, you are now able to use your dowsing ability to find Goddess Cubes. I have taken the liberty of registering Goddess Cubes as dowsing targets. Please use this ability as you deem necessary.

^?The flames blocking your path have been fully extinguished. I recommend proceeding ahead.

^?I have a status update for you, Master. We are now near the crater at the peak of Eldin Volcano.

^?I am detecting extremely high temperatures in this area. However, your Fireshield Earrings will allow for extended periods of exploration.

^?I calculate the probability of finding the final sacred flame here at 90%. I recommend searching for flames.

^?I am detecting malfunctions within the robot. I recommend repairing it and trying again.

^?A report, Master [Link]. I recommend following the Mogma's advice and returning to Lake Floria.

I also have some advice pertinent to the situation. It concerns a method for transporting water from the lake... I suggest you visit the Water Dragon. I conjecture that you can transport a large volume of water using the water basin that the previously injured Water Dragon recuperated in.

^?Would you like me to analyze previous data and register the vessel as a dowsing target?

Yes!

Not yet.

^?Master [Link], I have a status report for you. The flames that impede your progress have not yet been extinguished. Shall I register the Water Dragon's vessel as a dowsing target?

Yes!

Not yet.

^?Master, I have completed registering the Water Dragon's vessel as a dowsing target.

^?Understood, Master. I will not proceed with registration.

^?We have arrived at Eldin Volcano.

You can use your dowsing ability to locate the gate to the trial. You must pass this trial in order to locate the sacred flame.

^?Welcome back, Master.

I conjecture your newly acquired Fireshield Earrings will allow you to safely travel in extremely hot areas.

I recommend continuing your search for the sacred flame.

^?Master [Link], I detect no water in the immediate vicinity.

Of course, you will need a large basin to proceed past the impediment, but you will also need water. I recommend you start with that task.

^?A report, Master [Link]. The transport robot is waiting for you at the base of the volcano.

I recommend going up into the sky again and returning to the base of the volcano to guide the robot to this location.

^?Volcano Summit

304-MountainD2.msbt

^?Ohhh yah! You've come along at the right time, pal!

I don't know who ya are or where you're from, but what I need right now is for ya to get me offa this chain!

I'm in a hurry.

...

^?I'm not asking ya to do it for nothing, though! Set me free, and I'll tell ya the big, gigantic secret about this room!

It's a secret about treasure! OK?

^?Hey! Hang on there a second!

What kinda right-thinkin' person does that? Just ignores a fella in need? That's just despicable. Terrible, isn't it? Isn't it? I've got some pipin'-hot info, and all ya need to do for it is get me offa this chain!

^?Hey! Where are you tearin' off to right this second?!

I've got some pipin'-hot info, and all ya need to do for it is get me offa this chain!

^?Signs indicate that there is an 80% chance the information held by this individual will be of benefit to you.

I strongly recommend that you rescue him and acquire the information.

^?Hey! Hey! Come on, pal! Please help me! Get me offa this chain!

I got a hot tip just for you if you help me out!

^?Hoooo-yah! That is the sweet, sweet flavor of freedom, hoss!

And, uhh...heh heh...thanks for taking the trouble to free me... Sucker!

You really think I would divulge super- secret info about treasure? My momma didn't raise no patsy! I spent too long findin' that info! Huh?!

Those gloves are from my brother's secret collection! Are ya friends with my brother or something?

That's right.

I helped him!

^?Wait, wait, wait! There's somethin' I want to give you!

I'll just go get it. Wait here!

^?Here! Take this!

This here's some super-secret info that I put together. Took some real sweat and work too.

I had to survey this place near a hundred times to figure it out, but...

You ready for this? Now don't go faintin' when I tell ya. Right around here, there is...

A hidden room!

...

So in return, please don't tell anyone that I was captured. It'll just be our little secret, OK?

OK, it's a secret.

...

^?All right, then! Go ahead and open 'er up. But don't forget our deal!

Later, then... I said bye now.

^?All right, then! Go ahead and open 'er up! But don't forget our deal!

^?Well, ain't that the lowest of the low! And here I thought I was bein' polite...

^?You low-down, no-good'un!

^?Oh...

^?...Did you already figure out where the treasure was from that map?

^?Seriously? Then what did I give you that map for? And you call yourself an adventurer...

Agh... Well, I must look dumber than a jug of Moblin drool right now...

^?Maaan... Why can't I just do one thing right?! What a lunkhead!

^?That stuff looks HOT! I wouldn't mind a little hot bath for my sore shoulders, but this is too much!

^?Hot! HOT!

I'm not some sideshow for ya to gawk at! Get lost! Shoo now!

^?What've we got here? Another new guard?

Hah!

You can't break me with interrogation, son. You'll never make me talk!

I'm not some sideshow for you to gawk at! Get lost! Shoo now!

^?Hey!

I was watching ya, pal! Ya really socked it to those lava thingers! Amazing stuff!

And if ya don't mind doing one more thing while you're at it, how about ya get me down from here!

^?Hey, pal!

You're the one who lowered the level of the lava, right?

While you're at it, maybe you could do something about this chain too!

^?Oh yaaah! I'm saved!

I don't know who ya are or where you're from, but I owe ya big-time!

Are ya here looking for treasure too?

Yep!

Treasure?

^?Right, then--I'm outta here! So long!

^?I can see it on your face! You're here because of the "legend of the sleeping statue," right?!

But those are some busted, old diggin' mitts. Ya can't go using them for treasure huntin'!

I got it! As thanks, I'm gonna give ya a replacement pair from my secret stash! Don'tcha go nowhere!

^?Ha ha! You were totally caught up in that too, pal!

^?Well, well! No point trying to hide it! There's only one reason you could have for coming so far in here!

^?All yours!

They've been in a buried treasure chest, so they ain't dirty or anything.

Now these ain't the kind of thing that you can easily get your hands on just anywhere, so take good care of 'em!

^?Hey, pal!

How are those mitts treatin' ya?

If you want to get a good look aboveground, try pressing [Z]!

Got it? Press [Z] to see aboveground! Don't you go forgettin' it!

^?Hey, pal! How are the mitts I gave ya?

Press [Z] when you're diggin' down underground to get a quick peep at what's happening aboveground.

Even when we're burrowing, we know what's happening aboveground too!

^?Those mitts I gave you were one of the finest pieces in my collection.

^?...

^?Heyyy! We meet again!

Heh heh heh... Sorry, but I kinda happened to overhear that conversation.

It seems one of my guys was giving ya a hard time. Sorry about that.

But that stuff he was sayin' was all true.

There's a breeze coming from somewhere in this room. I tell ya, I can smell it.

I figure the information in that chest will be useful to ya.

^?This room has a fake wall somewhere...

And on the other side of that wall, there's another room. Or so I hear...

The ground underneath us is full of monsters, so we don't go tunneling too much down there, but...

If you're feelin' adventurous, there just might be a hidden route...

^?Did you get that from one of ours? Don't you worry. I won't try to take it from ya.

I'm tellin' ya, the information in that box... I think it'll definitely be useful.

^?Wow, you just took down the wall! You got some starch in your socks, pal!

^?Me? I'm going to explore this room a little more.

I also need to report to the boss for that guy who ran off.

^?Ahhh! So busy, so busy... Burning the midnight oil again looking for loot!

^?Aghhh! A green monster!

Ack... I can't believe they're following us down here now...

Guess I can have some fun with him for now, though...

Heh, heh, heh! You're on Mogma turf now, fiend! You may be scary, but as long as the way ahead of me is clear, you'll never catch me!

^?ACK! You again?!

Heh heh! Doesn't matter how many times you try to catch me, you'll always end up empty handed!

^?Noooooooo... You got me! Go on, then, you monster! Boil me, bake me... Do your worst!

...

Huh? I know those gloves...

Ain't those from my brother's secret collection?

He gave me 'em.

That's right.

^?What?! You know my brother?!

Awww, you're all green. I thought you were a monster!

Hey, don't get all angry! I thought you were one of them. Sorry, guy!

Lemme give ya something good to make up for it. Hang on there a sec.

^?Here ya go!

Ya know, some monsters seemed to be looking for something on those cliffs ahead of us...

You heading that way too, guy? You take care out there. Don't wanna see you get skewered or nothin'.

Me? I'm headin' back to the boss's place. I'll open the door for you while I'm at it. See ya!

^?Hey, guy! Still in one piece, eh?

Did ya see all the monsters around that place I was talkin' about?

I wonder what in the ever-tunnelin' world those guys are looking for...

^?As long as those monsters are still there, you and me oughta stay clear!

^?...Whoa!

Don't scare me like that! I thought you were one of those monster creeps!

...Oh, hey, what's this?

You got yourself a swanky pair of Digging Mitts, don'tcha?

Who are ya, anyway? Whatcha doing here?

On a quest!

Well...

^?...No offense, pal, but you don't look like the kinda guy I'd send in here on a treasure-huntin' mission...

But what do I know... Ya might just surprise me.

So here's the deal... Word in the tunnels is there's a huge treasure hidden in these here ruins...

But nobody who's ever seen it has come back to tell the tale.

Countless treasure hunters have disappeared in here! Poof! Gone.

As a treasure digger, I gotta warn you to just turn around and enjoy the many peaceful years of diggin' left to you, but... You're gonna do this no matter what I say, aren't ya?

Pretty much.

...

^?Hmm... I getcha.

Huh? Me?

Oh yah, the name's Guld. I'm the big boss of the Mogmas.

Those Digging Mitts you got right there... I invented 'em!

Hahah!

^?All right, then... I'm gonna let you in on an ancient treasure-hunting legend passed down among generations of Mogmas. Every Mogma worth a handful o' dirt knows this one...

Here we go...

"Ye who seek the entrance to the king's treasure, look for the two statues that face one another."

"Show your bravery and jump into the mouth of the sleeping statue. Do this, and the path will open before you."

You remember all that, and you're golden.

Thanks.

Say it again!

^?Here it is, the Mogma legend of these ruins...

"Ye who seek the entrance to the king's treasure, look for the two statues that face one another."

"Show your bravery and jump into the mouth of the sleeping statue. Do this, and the path will open before you."

It might all just be some frilly old story for baby Mogmas, but we'll never stop looking. And today's no exception.

^?Hahah hah... You sure are set on this!

Ready? Here goes...

"Ye who seek the entrance to the king's treasure, look for the two statues that face one another."

"Show your bravery and jump into the mouth of the sleeping statue. Do this, and the path will open before you."

Got it this time?

Yep!

One more time.

^?Some of my guys are searchin' around here for the treasure.

If you get lost, holler at one of 'em.

^?Ho ho ho... Ahhh! The exit at last...

^?...Enough of this foolishness... I am Ghirahim, Demon Lord!

^?It shouldn't matter how powerful your sword is, you are still nothing... Not just a human... A human child! And yet you prevail!

^?You filthy scamp! You have awakened a wrath that will burn for eons! I swear to you, whatever it takes, I will drag you into an eternity of torment!

^?Fire Sanctuary

^?Bring light to each statue in accordance with the number of wings each possesses, from least to most. When light resides in each statue, the king's treasure shall be yours.

^?The bridge of decision... Choose the path you believe in... Move forward bravely.

^?I'm afraid that eruption was caused by an explosion of my power. It looks like you were caught up in it. My apologies.

The skies above this land should clear soon...

You should go.

^?Yes... You appear as if summoned!

Young hero, do you wish to ask a question of me?

Water Dragon?

Thunder Dragon?

Volcano?

No, thanks.

^?Yes... The Water Dragon. You see, the goddess gave the Water Dragon the power to protect the woods.

That power is strong, but the will of the dragon is even stronger. ...You may want to be careful with that one, lest you be eaten like an appetizer. Ha ha ha ha!

^?Yes, yes... The Thunder Dragon. The goddess gave the Thunder Dragon the power to protect the desert.

This dragon possesses a legendary shield. It is truly one of its most prized treasures.

It is said that the Thunder Dragon delights in testing those with promise in the hopes of someday finding a worthy recipient for the shield. But the dragon is a wily one. And his test is not as simple as it may appear!

Ha ha ha ha!

^?Yes... This mountain was not always such a dangerous and unforgiving place.

There was a time when those above- ground and those below lived together in harmony by the blessing of the great mountain. The desolation that you see now is all that remains to remind us of those glorious days...

^?Yes... You see the path before you, then. Go. Follow it.

^?What is this? You have another question for me?

Water Dragon?

Thunder Dragon?

Volcano?

Not really.

^?Ta-DAH! I'm here to save the day!

^?Heyyyy! Long time no see!

Huh? Don't tell me ya forgot my ugly mug!

I'm Plats, the Mogma you helped in the northern temple!

I saw them draggin' you off unconscious, so I tailed 'em!

^?You're pretty fearless, eh? What are you up to now?

Well...

Searching.

^?Th-the dragon? You mean the dragon-god thing?

Uhh, yeah... I heard a rumor that a big dragon-god lives in this mountain...

You really like those fantasy stories, eh, pal?

Hmm? Why am I here, you ask?

I just heard a rumor that some bad guys were gettin' together on this mountain!

Heh heh heh... And everyone knows that when bad guys get together, they'll be fightin' over some loot.

^?...Haha! I know why you're really here! You heard the rumor about the baddies and their treasure too, didn't ya, pal?

Heh heh heh! You know what I'm talkin' about! The rumor that some bad guys are havin' a little get- together on this mountain. And everybody knows that where there's bad guys, there's treasure! That's just the way of the world.

^?Don't you gotta take care of your own business first?

Haven't ya noticed? They swiped all your stuff!

While you were out, they shook you down good, pal! You're gonna want to get your stuff back before ya go and try anything else. I can get you started. I stole these back for ya...

^?Time for me to tunnel out, pal! You got your work cut out for you!

Good luck out there!

^?Heyyyy!

^?Whaddya thinkin'? You shouldn't be out here in the open with no way to defend yourself...

This place is crawlin' with thugs!

Well, just be careful they don't spot ya while you're sneakin' around!

^?I feel just terrible for you, pal... Here, let me do one more thing for ya! Ol' Plats here's gonna show ya what's in all the treasure chests! ...Ta-dahh!

^?After all, none of it looked like stuff I'd really want anyhow...

But if some of them things are yours, I'll bet you're gonna want to get 'em back, right?

^?And I probably don't even need to say this again... But seriously, pal, don't let them bad guys see ya, y'hear?

They ain't gonna do nothin' nice if they catch you! So don't do anything heroic and get yourself caught!

Got it?

OK, already...

...

^?All right then, I'm going back to rummage around for treasure!

See ya later!

^?...

Ahh... You know, I really worry about ya, pal. It's a weakness of mine!

OK, tell you what...I'm gonna show you something good! Open up your map!

^?Wheeeeeeze... So hot...

One of the most amazing treasures of the world, just up ahead...

^?Huff...

A little while ago, all them bad guys started disappearing... Then I noticed they were all gathering up ahead... They must have something good...

^?Pst! Hey, boy oh boy, have I got some great hints for you. Want to see one?

Show me!

No, thanks.

^?Hey there, friend. Do you want a hint? I've got new ones to show!

Show me!

No, thanks.

^?Hiya, friend. So, I don't have any new hints to show you, but I'll gladly let you look over all the hints that are currently available. Want a peek?

Show me!

No, thanks.

^?I gotcha. Then I wish ya luck!

^?Thank you, Master [Link].

Please excuse me for leaving your side during this brief trouble with the volcanic eruption.

While I was here, I detected a strong source of power emanating from the area on the far right.

Signs indicate a 60% chance that the dragon who knows a verse from the Song of the Hero dwells there.

Please reacquire the rest of your gear and continue your search for the dragon.

^?Master [Link]...

^?You stand within Din's Silent Realm, the third trial. It will test the limits of your power.

To locate the last flame that will enhance your sword, you must first complete this final challenge and achieve spiritual growth once again.

^?When your vessel is full, your spirit will grow and you will be entrusted with a new power by the goddess.

Do you have any questions?

Yes!

No.

^?Which topic do you wish to review?

The Spirit Vessel?

Guardians?

Waking Water?

Never mind.

^?Do you have any further questions?

The Spirit Vessel?

Guardians?

Waking Water?

Never mind.

^?Understood, Master.

^?Master, I await your return in the outside world.

^?Yes, Master.

To fill the Spirit Vessel, you need to locate and collect every Tear of Din scattered across this Silent Realm.

^?Master, do you see the glowing object a ways in front of you?

^?That is a Tear of Din. You will need to collect 15 of them.

^?Understood, Master. Allow me to explain.

^?If you take even a single step outside the protective circle you stand in, the Guardians of this realm will wake up and pursue you, Master.

^?If a Guardian manages to land even a single hit on you, your spirit will shatter and you will fail the trial.

^?You must collect the tears scattered throughout this area and fill the Spirit Vessel without being hit by an attack.

^?The unusual liquid substance that covers that area is known as Waking Water, and it has certain unique properties. If you make contact with Waking Water, the Guardians will be immediately alerted to your presence.

Pools of Waking Water are located all throughout the area. I suggest you watch where you step...

^?When your Spirit Vessel is filled with 15 tears, your spirit will grow and you will be blessed by the goddess with a new power. Master, I will await your return in the outside world.

^?Master [Link], I can unfortunately confirm that you have failed to pass the trial.

^?Collect all the tears within the Silent Realm. I shall await your return here.

^?Master, so long as you have the will and determination, you can retry a trial as many times as you like.

A good strategy is to find, but then deliberately not pick up, the most- easily-accessible tears until you are discovered and really need one. Collect the 15 tears and complete the trial. I will await your return in the outside world.

^?The locations of tears you have gathered during your trial are marked on the map.

You will have an easier time completing your task if you first set out to discover the locations of all 15 tears.

^?Two types of Watchers patrol the realm, looking for intruders. I highly suggest you take caution.

So long as you do not step into their light, you will remain undetected by flying Sky Watchers.

However, the Earth Watchers, who hover near the ground, will give chase if you come too close to them, so stay alert and maintain a safe distance.

^?Master, the chances of your not being the chosen one are increasing...

Repeated attempts at this trial have scattered your concentration and made your performance erratic. I suggest you rest awhile before trying again.

^?I suggest using smart tactics to your advantage. Try leaving easy-to-collect tears for when you are being pursued.

^?The locations of tears that you have previously collected will be marked on the map, so make good use of that.

Confirm the locations of all 15 tears first to increase your chances of successfully completing the trial.

^?Master, in addition to the Guardians who will attack you, there are also two types of Watchers that search for intruders on the ground and in the sky. The two types of Watchers exhibit dramatically different behavior, so be sure you understand how to avoid detection by both.

^?We're here, [Link]! Show me what you've got!

351-Salvage.msbt

^?I have located a substance that closely resembles the material used in the fortune-teller's crystal ball... It should make a suitable replacement. Shall I call the robot to collect it?

Yes.

Not now.

^?Yes, Master. If you change your mind and decide to retrieve it, please examine it again.

^?Master, I will send word to the robot using telepathic transmission.

^?Mistress Fi! I'm heeeeereeeee, zrrpt!

Oh. You want me to carry this old thing, bzzt?

^?I'll be waiting for you in the sky, so don't take too long, vrrt!!

^?Master, I suggest we also return to the sky and collect the crystal ball as soon as possible.

^?Hey, Master Shortpants! How come you always get the easy jobs, zrrpt?

^?So we meet again, eh? I gotta thank ya for your help last time!

See, I've been searchin' for new treasure spots, but I can't find a single bauble or bit of treasure.

Maybe I'm just gettin' woozy from working so long in this heat.

Sometimes I wish I could find a job that really played to my strengths, yeah... somethin' in a cool climate. Then I'd be set!

I know a place!

Keep dreaming.

^?So ya know a place with work that I'd be good at?

And it's in the sky?! ... ... I LOVE THE SKY! Where do I sign up? I'm tellin' ya, I'm in! Let's do this thing!

^?Right... Well, yeah, I guess I could try to stick it out for a little while longer...

^?This individual's capabilities match perfectly to the types of duties expected of an employee at the Lumpy Pumpkin. Do you want to call the robot and transport this individual?

Yes.

No.

^?Hey, what gives?! You said you'd take me to the sky, but then you backed out of our deal! Now I'm back here.

If you're going to make a promise like that, you better follow through!

^?Master, I suggest that we also return to the sky and accompany the Mogma to his destination quickly.

^?You don't have to tell me twice, zrrbt!

399-Demo.msbt

^?[Link]!

^?You cannot go to him, Your Grace. Remember what we discussed. Restrain yourself. Focus on the task at hand.

^?I... I have to go. I'm sorry, [Link].

^?It took you far too long to get here. Looking at you, I fear the goddess is mistaken in her choice of agents.

If this failure is any indication, you have no hope of defending Her Grace from those who seek to assail her.

^?Do my words anger you, boy?

Do my words sting? Let them. If I had not come when I did, your Zelda would already have fallen into the hands of the enemy. The truth of it is you were late. You were late, and you failed to protect her.

^?I sent Zelda ahead to learn more of the fate in which she is destined to play a part.

Listen well, chosen one. If you wish to be of help to Her Grace, you must summon a shred of courage and face the trials laid out before you. Only when you've conquered the trials will you be of use to Zelda. No sooner. Am I understood?

^?Master, I have a message written in the language of the gods of old.

Allow me to translate for you.

^?From the edge of time I guide you, the one destined to carry out the goddess's mission.

^?The spirit maiden who descended from the clouds has passed through the Earth Spring and makes her way to a fated place.

^?The parched desert of Lanayru... That is where the chosen will pass through the Gate of Time into a distant world.

^?You got the Amber Tablet! The weathered surface of this heavy stone tablet feels very old.

^?...Oh, hello there, [Link]. I see you're still among the living. Fancy meeting you here.

^?We seem to bump into each other time and time again. Oh, it's no coincidence, though, is it? You and I, we're bound by a thread of fate.

^?Look at these old drawings!

^?Until I found these, I was...upset about that little stunt the goddess's guard dog pulled at the Gate of Time. What was that twig's name again? Impa?

^?Well, never mind that, because these drawings suggest the existence of a second Gate of Time. This news has just filled my heart with rainbows!

^?I've been a busy boy, searching here and there and everywhere for another Gate of Time.

^?And yet, I couldn't even find a single clue. Since I know I can be honest with you, I'll admit I got a little sulky. It was frowns all around.

^?The thought of never getting my hands on that darling young girl again was... well, more than I could bear.

^?But then... Then I found this place! The prospect of a second Gate of Time has made me positively giggly!

^?That girl... Your adorable friend... She will be instrumental in bringing about the revival of my master.

And though I feared she was now quite beyond my reach, I despair no longer!

^?...But before we talk any further on that subject, there's still the outstanding matter of your punishment, [Link]. Do you remember when I told you that the next time we met, I'd make your ears bleed from the sound of your own screams? Well, I've been thinking... Perhaps corporal punishment is a touch harsh. I might be willing to forgive and forget if you'll strike a deal.

^?...All I ask is that you tell me where I can find the other Gate of Time.

That's not too much to ask, is it? Oh, and don't you play coy with me. I know that you know, so why not let me in on the fun?

^?Such behavior. A mischievous boy like you needs to be dealt with firmly. I must warn you, I won't go easy on you this time.

^?Lovely, aren't they? You'll find the supple skin of my arms tougher than any armor. Doesn't their shape just leave you...breathless?

^?Behold!

^?Such beauty!

^?Such a pure form!

^?Such an exquisite physique!

^?Such stunning features!

^?Yes, I've pretty much got it all. Though there is one teensy, tiny thing I lack...

^?Namely, mercy.

Come to me, [Link]. You and I, we're bound by that thread of fate. Destined to fight.

So come close, [Link]! Meet me in battle, and the thread of fate that binds us will be soaked crimson with your blood!

^?The flames of Din have imbued your blade with a sacred white light that demons revile.

^?Master, now that it has been tempered by the last of the sacred flames, your blade has finally revealed its true form. You now hold the Master Sword.

^?With this sword's great power, you can awaken the Gate of Time within the Sealed Temple. I recommend you make your way to this location.

^?Ho! A man of flesh and blood has walked his way to the heart of my burning hall! Now this is something.

^?If I have the right of it, the mark you bear upon your hand is not just a fashionable decoration.

There can be no doubt about it, then. The goddess has chosen you to hear the melody I have guarded for her all these years. Listen well, human child. I will sing you my part of the Song of the Hero.

^?You learned part of the Song of the Hero!

^?...

^?...

^?...

^?Where did you come from, dzzzzt? We're here collecting Timeshift Stones and transporting them to Lanayru Mining Facility. Stay away from the blue stones, zrrpt. They're too dangerous for humans!

^?Stay away from the blue stones, zrrpt. They're too dangerous, vrrrrrm, for humans! And try not to get in the way!

^?...

^?That's a mine cart for transporting Timeshift Stones, zrrpt. They're not for human use, so get lost, vrrm!

^?...

^?Do not interfere with mining operations! Stop talking to me, zrrpt!

^?...

^?The mine cart in front of the door is going to pass through here, so it's dangerous for you to be there, vrrm! Maybe you should just go away, zrrpt!

^?...

^?Help, zrrt!

^?If you hadn't come along, they would have sucked all of the electricity out of me, vrrm!

Oh... Look at that, zrrpt... You have a Beetle. It appears to be an older model of Lanayru fabrication.

As thanks for saving me, I will upgrade that for you, zwooop. Give it here for a second, phwing!

^?I've added a pincer modification so you can grab things, brrrrrrrt. Be careful out there, zrrt!

^?Still hanging around here? Be careful, vrrm!

^?Thank you, zrrt!

^?...

^?This is the Temple of Time. Within it is the sacred Gate of Time made by the goddess, bzzt.

It's my job to patrol outside the temple, vrrm! If you want to reach the Gate of Time, you will need to pass through that door, bzzap. Huh? You need another way in, phoo-weep?

Well, Lanayru Mining Facility and the Temple of Time are connected underground, dzzt. Lanayru Mining Facility is right here!

^?Lanayru Mining Facility is just ahead. Good luck, vrrt!

^?No matter how many times I see the Temple of Time, my circuits still get overloaded with impressiveness, zrrp!

^?Help, zrrt!

^?That was scary, vrrrrrm... Thanks for helping me, bzzt.

^?This map... It looks inaccurate, bzzt. I'm going to fix it for you, zrrm!

^?...

^?You are not in my memory banks, brrt.

This is the power generator for the mechanism that opens the entrance to Lanayru Mining Facility, zrrpt!

But it won't budge until you activate the remote power nodes and set those three dials to access them correctly.

^?Did you figure out how to access the remote power nodes, zrrpt? Just setting the dials will not be enough to open the entrance to the facility, vrrm.

^?Did you figure out how to access the remote power nodes, zrrbt? That is most impressive...for a human, vrrm.

This is Lanayru Mining Facility, phwing! It is where Timeshift Stones are produced.

No matter how many times I see this place, my rotors still hum with admiration, bzzt!

^?This is Lanayru Mining Facility, phwing! It is where Timeshift Stones are produced.

^?...

^?You're trying to figure out how to configure the device to get you into Lanayru Mining Facility, zrrpt?

You look kind of suspicious, vrrm. I probably shouldn't be telling you how to access the remote power nodes to enter the facility, zwoop. And don't let me catch you stabbing or fiddling with this device, bzzt!

^?Ahhh! What are you doing, vrrt?!

Still... You'll never get it to open just fiddling with the dials, bzzt.

^?You're trying to figure out how to configure the device to get you into Lanayru Mining Facility, zrrpt?

You look kind of suspicious, vrrm. I probably shouldn't be telling you how to access the remote power nodes to enter the facility, zwoop. And don't let me catch you stabbing or fiddling with this device, bzzt!

^?Ahhh! What are you doing, vrrt?!

Still... You'll never get it to open just fiddling with the dials, bzzt.

^?You look kind of suspicious, vrrm.

Don't let me catch you fiddling with this device, bzzt!

^?...

^?Huh? You're looking for work, zrrpt? Then get rid of that funny-looking hat and come back with a helmet, vrrm!

^?...

^?These strange things have started attacking us recently, vrrm. We don't have any weapons to defend ourselves, so if they attack, we're fried, phweep!

^?...

^?You're interested in the Timeshift Stones? Then you should take a tour of Lanayru Mining Facility, zooop!

^?...

^?The Timeshift Stones power us, as well as the machines we use, vreep! That's why we have to stay hard at work, zoop!

^?...

^?I don't see many humans around here, vrrt. Are you interested in the Timeshift Stones, phweep?

^?...

^?My friend was kidnapped the other day, vrrt! And I heard they sucked out all of his electricity, zrrrrpt!

^?You are looking for the dragon god, zrrpt?

If it's Master Thunder Dragon you want to meet, he's to the south of Lanayru Caves, bzzt. I don't know of any other dragons, though, phweep.

^?A report, Master [Link]. We have arrived at Lanayru Mine.

^?This arid region was transformed into a desert over the course of several hundred years.

^?My projections show that Zelda must have traveled through this area.

^?My estimates indicate that this object has been broken for many years. I am unable to analyze the content of its speech at this time.

^?I am able to confirm that a time shift has occurred within this space.

Any impact to the blue stones creates a sustained temporal disruption field in the surrounding area. Readings show that this area is in a past time state.

^?Readings indicate the materials used to construct the generator are also present in this area. You can now use your dowsing ability to locate them.

^?A report, Master. I can no longer detect Zelda's aura.

^?The moment the gate was destroyed, Zelda's presence disappeared from my readings. You can no longer search for her with your dowsing ability.

^?Zelda's companion instructed you to meet with the ancient one in the Sealed Grounds.

This corresponds with the records in my memory. I propose that we travel to the Sealed Temple.

^?We have arrived at Lanayru Desert. The terrain in this area changed dramatically as climate forces rapidly turned it into a desert.

^?I have confirmed numerous areas of sinksand. Should you step in sinksand, you may be swallowed by the desert. Bodily danger has increased by 30%.

^?As a safety measure, I recommend you check the terrain on your map with [+].

^?My readings indicate that Zelda has passed through here. As previously stated, this area is highly dangerous.

I suggest reuniting with her quickly to determine the motivations behind her actions at Eldin Province.

^?A report, Master [Link].

The map you possess corresponds to the actual terrain of this area with only 35% accuracy.

The robot you met earlier modified your map to show past terrain that is now submerged below the sinksand.

^?Master [Link], I have information to report.

I can confirm that you will not be consumed by the sinksand in this current position. I suggest verifying your location on the map.

^?Readings indicate that there is a submerged path beneath the sinksand.

It is possible to walk along a route above this path without submerging completely into the sinksand.

Simulations suggest that placing beacons to mark a safe route along these paths before proceeding would significantly reduce risk.

^?I recommend placing multiple beacons.

^?We have arrived at Lanayru Mine.

You can use your dowsing ability to locate the entrance to the trial you must pass to open the way to the sacred flame.

^?We have arrived at Lanayru Desert.

You can use your dowsing ability to locate the entrance to the trial you must pass to open the way to the sacred flame.

^?We have arrived at the Temple of Time.

You can use your dowsing ability to locate the entrance to the trial you must pass to open the way to the sacred flame.

^?Congratulations, Master.

^?You have completed the trial. You now have the power to proceed to the sacred flame that will be entrusted to your sword and your strong spirit.

^?The Clawshots are one of the goddess's sacred gifts.

You can extend these claws attached to chains to pull yourself to targets and vines beyond your reach.

^?The flame is somewhere in the desert... I conjecture that it lies in a place you have not yet visited, Master.

^?A report, Master [Link].

^?The symbols on this power generator correspond to the symbols on the three remote power nodes you activated. Logic suggests that they are connected.

^?Master [Link], all three remote power nodes have been activated.

Please make your way to the power generator in front of Lanayru Mining Facility.

^?A report, Master [Link]. My analysis indicates that you can restore this device to an operable state by inserting a source of energy.

^?Tumbleweeds sometimes roll across the sand in Lanayru Desert and other places.

Tumbleweeds are used as a material to upgrade a variety of items. You can collect them with a Bug Net.

^?Hello, hello, [Link].

^?I just remembered, [Link]. I have got something to report on the excavation project you invested in earlier! I found loads of Timeshift Stones! Now I can pay you back 10 times what you gave me!

^?How is your search for that sacred flame going? Did you find it?!

I have been dying to hear whether you found it. Well...did you?

...So after that wild, long adventure, you found it! [Link], you are truly amazing.

^?You know, I think it is time I tell you what I found out about the legend of the three dragons.

I am certain there is a hidden area just beyond here in the desert!

You see, I found a narrow passageway that was too tight for me to fit through.

And my gut tells me that one of the three dragons of legend, the Thunder Dragon, lives there!

These robots are connected to him somehow. I am sure of it, bud.

The Thunder Dragon, robots, and Timeshift Stones...

What an adventure!

^?I found the passage that leads to where the Thunder Dragon lives...

But it is too narrow for a big guy like me to pass through. If only there was a way...

^?Hey, you over there! Say, is that my buddy [Link]? It is!

You have come at the perfect time! I have something I want to show you.

Come on up here!

^?[Link]! You made it into the dragon's territory?!

I am so jealous!

You outdid me again, bud!

^?Good to see you, bud! Seems like you pop up everywhere! Though I am one to talk...

Anyway, bud, there is something I am dying to tell you. It is the discovery of the century!

This is a sacred place known as the Temple of Time.

I could not believe my eyes when I saw a human who lives on the legendary Isle of the Goddess!

It wore clothes just like the ones written about in the ancient manuscripts! And it looked just like you, bud! It came with another person...and they entered the temple! I wanted to chase after them...

But then there was an explosion all of a sudden! And the entrance... Well, you can see for yourself, bud.

I do not think we are getting past this mess. I just wish we could find out what is happening on the other side!

^?What? You made it inside?

You mean to say there is a secret passage I did not know about? Why did you not tell me, bud?!

I was just about to give up and go home when I heard this huge crash. I rushed back to find that the way had been cleared. I am going to explore inside. I have to go back to the Sealed Grounds soon, so it looks like I am going to be busy!

^?I wish I could see what is happening on the other side! Maybe there is another way into the temple?

^?I am going to explore inside! I have to head back to the Sealed Grounds soon, so it looks like I am going to be busy.

^?Avoid workplace accidents, vrrm! Safety first, zrrt!

^?Sandship

^?...

^?...

You came with the captain to save us, vweep! I'm so happy, vrrm!

But we can't get out of here while that sparky thing blocks the exit, zrrt.

^?You can do it, phoo-weep!

^?Please rescue us quickly, vweep! First, you need to turn on the power generators in the engine room, bzzt!

^?You will need to activate the power generators in two different locations, zrrt.

^?I'm scared, brrzrrt... Please remove those monsters and get us out of here, phoo-weep.

^?You turned on one of the power generators, vrrm! But you still need to activate one more to be able to get through the engine room to us, zrrt. Hurry up and activate the other power generator, then come rescue us, bzzt!

^?You activated both power generators, vrrm! You should now be able to get through the engine room and come save us, zrrt! So hurry up, bzzt!

^?That was scary, vrrm!

You're a human, aren't you, brrzrrt? So how did you get in here, vweep?

^?You're a human, aren't you, brrzrrt? So how did you get in here, vweep?

^?You really came to save us, vweep! My circuits are glowing with happiness, vrrm!

^?Really, vrrm? You came on board to find Nayru's Flame, zrrt?

If you want to reveal Nayru's Flame, you're going to have to regain control of this ship, phoo-weep.

The control room is next to the brig, but its huge door is sealed shut and you'll need a key to open it, vrrm.

First you should head to the captain's cabin, zrrt! The control-room key should be in there, vweep!

^?But I'm getting out of here, vrrm.

Sorry to leave you on your own, but you look like you can handle it, zrrt! We're counting on you, vweep!

^?...

I almost forgot to mention it, but the engine room is right below this brig, vrrrrrm.

^?There's a corridor from the engine room that connects to this brig, vrrm.

^?But to get through the engine room to here, bzzt, you need to activate the two power generators in the engine room.

^?You can get to the captain's cabin through a door on the deck in the back, vrrm.

^?Huh...? Oh hey, did you turn on one of the power generators, vrrm?

You still need to activate the other one, zrrt! There are two power generators, vweep!

^?Huh...? Oh! It looks like the engine room is up and running, vrrm.

Did you turn on the power, vweep? OK, then I'm sure you can get through the engine room to here now, zrrt!

We'll be waiting, phoo-weep!

^?The last power generator is here, vrrm.

^?I've seen you before, vweep... You're the one who left me here earlier, vrrm. That's pretty cold for a human, zrrt! But how did you get in here anyway, phoo-weep?

^?You're a human, right, vrrm? How did you get in here, zrrt?

^?...

So you came with Skipper to rescue us, vrrm?! You've made us so happy, zrrt!

^?Please take this key as thanks for rescuing us, vrrrrm.

This key will open the door to the captain's cabin, vweep.

^?[Link]! Good job, vweep!

^?It's still pretty dangerous here, so I'll just wait in the boat, zrrt.

You can do it, vrrm!

^?Now the ship looks just like it used to, phoo-weep! That makes me so happy, vrrm!

Now I just need you to go rescue my crew, vweep!

I'm pretty sure they're being held in the brig inside the ship, brrzrrt!

^?A report, Master. Judging by their size, these tentacles belong to a monster of considerable size.

The current situation is difficult to determine with complete accuracy, but signs indicate that this ship is under attack. If we do nothing, there is an 80% chance the ship will capsize.

I recommend forcing it back with sacred power, then exiting to further assess the current situation.

^?Master, I can confirm that, as mentioned by the crew, the engine room is now fully operational.

But the corridor to the brig will not be passable until you activate the other power generator. I suggest hurrying to the second power generator.

^?Master, I can confirm that the engine room is now fully operational.

I suggest hurrying to the brig through the engine room and freeing the crew immediately.

^?Master, I am detecting very strong vibrations.

Signs indicate that activating this mechanism has caused something within the ship to begin moving.

The current situation is difficult to accurately assess, but I suggest hurrying to the crew in the brig and freeing them first.

^?Master, I am detecting strong vibrations again.

The current situation is difficult to accurately assess, but I suggest hurrying to the area beneath the crew in the brig first.

^?Master, I conjecture that this is the key to the control room mentioned by the crew.

^?My memory indicates that the location of the door to the control room is marked with the [X] symbol.

^?I suggest you quickly make your way to the control room.

^?Master, please look.

^?This large door here is sealed shut.

^?This door must lead to an important room in the ship.

^?Warning, Master.

^?I sense an evil presence on the other side of this door.

^?There is a 90% chance it is the primary body mass of the creature whose tentacles are destroying this ship.

I suggest making all necessary preparations before exiting to the outside of the ship.

^?Master, I have important information for you. There is a 90% chance the object you see over there is a Timeshift Stone. If you could deliver an impact to it by some means, it could have a significant effect on the ship.

^?Master, that synthetic life-form... There is a 99% chance that it was the pirate described by the captain.

I can't help but admire the tenacity it has displayed in staying alive and functional all these years.

^?However, it will be difficult to target it from here, so I recommend you return to the deck.

^?Master, a report about the bow you have just obtained...

Your bow's elasticity can propel arrows through the air with great force, allowing you to strike your targets from afar. To confirm the controls associated with your bow, raise your bow by pressing [B] then press [2].

^?You can also shoot arrows to strike certain devices in order to activate them.

^?I have confirmed that such a device exists on the deck.

^?Master, look up.

^?You can reach the Timeshift Stone on the deck through the ventilation shaft in the ceiling.

I believe it will be possible to shoot through the grate with a small projectile, such as an arrow.

^?Lanayru Sand Sea

^?Shipyard

^?Pirate Stronghold

^?Skipper's Retreat

^?...

^?Hmm... Who are you, bzzt? Some human, vrrrm?

Who am I, brrzrrt...?

I am the proud skipper of the ship that protects Nayru's Flame, phweep!

Nayru's Flame?

Protector ship?

^?Hmm... There's something weird about that map of yours...vrrm.

If you're going to navigate these treacherous waters, then you need a proper sea chart, doo-weep!

There is a sea chart in my shack at Skipper's Retreat, bzzzt. So first you need to get on this boat and set a course for Skipper's Retreat!

^?Really, vrrm? Well, in that case, bzzt...

^?Ready to shove off, brrzt?

To sea.

To the Sandship.

Never mind.

^?All right! Let's go, vrrrrm!

^?We need to get a move on, bzzt!

^?Right, I'll take you to my boat, vrrm!

^?Then I'm not letting you on board, brrt!

And you won't be able to get anywhere without getting on this boat, vweep!

^?What's that, vwooot? Changed your mind?

Will you help me to get back my ship, bzztzzz?

I'll help!

No way.

^?Shall we shove off, vrrm?

Let's go!

Wait...

^?If you'll help me, vzzzt, then I guess I'll let you on my boat.

I'll help!

No way.

^?In order to protect Nayru's Flame, the ship has a function that allows it to become invisible, vweep...

You say you're searching for Nayru's Flame, bzzt? Oh... So you need Nayru's Flame to find someone important to you, vrrrm...? In that case, you should help me search for my ship and crew, phweep!

^?...

It was the day of the storm, phoo-weep... My crew and I were navigating the seas as usual, vrrm...

And then those brutes, bzzt... the pirates, suddenly attacked us, brrzt.

They were after Nayru's Flame, zzpt. My crew was imprisoned...vrrrt... and I was thrown into the sea!

^?I drifted on the current to this port, vrrrrm...

^?It haunts me, wondering where my ship could be, phweep...

I'd bet my hat they've turned the ship invisible and are hiding out somewhere, vrrm! You can't see it.

Why not?

Invisible?

^?Let's get going quick, vrrm! Don't you need to find that person you're looking for, brrzt?

Or do you need me to take the boat somewhere else on this sea?

To sea!

To the Sandship!

Never mind.

^?You made it, zrrt! Did you find who you were looking for, phaweep?

Do you want me to take you somewhere by boat, brrzrrt?

To sea!

To the Sandship!

Never mind.

^?You are looking for a dragon god, vrrm?

If it's Master Thunder Dragon you want to meet, he's to the south of Lanayru Caves, bzzt. I don't know any other dragon gods, though, brrzrrt. Do you want me to take you somewhere by boat?

To sea!

To the Sandship!

Never mind.

^?Come and visit again sometime, vrrm!

^?After that, I took this boat and went searching for my ship and crew, but they were nowhere to be found, bzzt.

^?What are you waiting for, zrrt? Hurry and get the sea chart from my old house, vrrm!

Or did you want to go back to sea, phweep?

Sea.

Never mind.

^?You got the sea chart, vrrm! Now we can finally navigate properly, zrrt!

Phweep! Let's go look for my ship!

^?That house holds many dear memories of my family, vrrm.

I wonder when I will be able to go home, zrrt. I really want to see my family again, phweep...

^?You are looking for a dragon god, vrrm?

If it's Master Thunder Dragon you want to meet, he's to the south of Lanayru Caves, bzzt. I don't know any other dragon gods, though, brrzrrt.

^?Shall we set sail, vrrt?

Set sail!

Not yet.

^?Anchors aweigh, zrrm!

^?I see, phweep...

^?Thank you for getting me my ship back, vrrm.

It may have been half wrecked, but my crew and I got it shaped up to almost proper working order in no time, vrrt.

I wish you good luck in finding whomever it is you're looking for, phweep!

Come visit again. You're welcome anytime, vweep!

^?What are you waiting for, zrrt? Hurry up and look for clues in the Shipyard, vrrm!

Or do you want to go back to sea, phweep?

To the sea!

Never mind.

^?So my ship wasn't here, zrrt? Then there is only one place left for us to look for clues, vrrm...

Brrzrrt. This could be scary, but... we have to head to the stronghold of the pirates who stole my ship, phweep!

So let's not waste any time, vrrm!

Let's go!

Wait.

^?Prepare yourself, brrzrrt! We're heading to the Pirate Stronghold, phweep!

^?So my ship wasn't here, zrrt? Then there is only one place left for us to look for clues, vrrm...

Brrzrrt. This could be scary, but... we'll head to the stronghold of the pirates who stole my ship, phweep!

The pirate captain is a mechanical maniac, zrrt! Worse, he has plenty of evil underlings too, vrrm!

I never wanted to lay my optical receptors on him again, brrzrrt. But...

If we want to take the ship back, then we have no choice, phoo-weep!

^?I remember when my ship was finished being built here, vrrm. I was so happy. Ah, the good old days, voo-weeet...

^?Awooga! There's danger thataway! First we need to go to Skipper's Retreat, phoo-weet!

^?That's the stronghold of those fearsome pirates, vweep!

Zrrrt! It's dangerous, so we should stay far away for now. We need to go to the Shipyard first anyway, vrrm!

^?My circuits spark to life in the salt air, vrrm! It feels good to take to the seas again after so long, but let's see if I can remember how to navigate, brrzrrt. Press [control stick] to move, zrrt. Press [A] while moving to speed up, vrrm!

Press [B] to ready the cannon, phweep. Then press [A] to fire it, zrrt!

^?Right, let's go, vrrm!

^?I placed an [X] mark over on the island where my house is, vrrm!

There's a pier on the island where we can dock, brrzrrt!

^?What are you waiting for, vrrm? Afraid of the pirates, zrrt? Don't worry--they're all dead, vweep. Or do you want to head to sea, phweep?

To sea.

Never mind.

^?So my ship wasn't here either, vrrm...

Zrrt? Vweeeeet? You found a clue?

You know the place? Some kind of thing called dowsing, vrrm? That's amazing, phoo-weep!

This time we'll definitely find my ship, voo-whooot!

Ready to set sail, vweep?

To sea!

Not yet.

^?We need to hurry up, vweeeet, and look for my ship!

^?Or do you want to head back out to sea, vrrm?

To sea.

Never mind.

^?[Link], voo-weet! That was absolutely amazing!

The big mouth opened, zrrt! How did you do that, vrrm?!

^?There's something at the bridge inside the mouth, vweep!

Could be a clue to my ship, zrrt! I'm just going to have a look, brzzt!

^?So my ship wasn't at the Pirate Stronghold either, vrrm...

What's that, bzzt? You found a clue?

You know the place, vrrm? Something called dowsing, phweeep? Wow, that's amazing, brrzrrt!

^?Brrzrrrt... I still have nightmares about the day the pirates took my ship, vrrm. I was so scared I was fused...

^?We've arrived, vweep!

^?My shack is at the very top, vrrm!

^?The sea chart we need is in my shack, zrrt. But you're the one who will have to go get it, bzzt!

There are more monsters about than before, so be careful, vweep!

I can't wander far from the boat, so I'll just stay here, vrrm.

^?We've arrived, vrrm!

This is the island where we used to make our ships, bzzt. You'll find the Shipyard here, as well as the town where the workers lived, vweep!

^?But the entrance is closed, vrrrm. Looks like you can't get in.

^?Each location on the island is linked to the others via a mine-cart track, vrrm!

^?There's a mine-cart station over there, zrrt!

^?You should head to the station first. I'll wait here, phoo-weep!

^?You might be able to get to the back door of the construction bay if you can get around to the other side of it using a mine cart, brrzrrt.

^?That building is the construction bay, vrrm!

^?This is easily as scary as I thought it would be, vrrm...

But if you think about it, they should all be dead, brrzrrt!

The only reason I'm up and about like this is because of that Timeshift Stone on the boat, phoo-weep!

So I have nothing to worry about, vrrm! I feel better now, [Link]. And so it's time for you to go look for my ship, zrt! I'll wait here, of course, bzzt.

^?You can now set your dowsing ability to search for the ship that holds Nayru's Flame.

^?I have information to report, Master. Please take a look.

^?There is a 60% probability that these masts and these sails are from the ship that protects Nayru's Flame.

^?A report, Master. I calculate a 0% chance that searching further in this location will lead to the appearance of the ship. Because of those substantially unfavorable odds, I suggest reporting to the ship's captain and leaving this island.

^?Master, it would appear that in the many years this factory went unused, monsters have moved in and built a nest. I now estimate that the chance of finding a clue in the sand here as to the ship's location is extremely low.

^?Did you see it, phoo-weep? That's my ship, vrrm!

We must pursue, bzzt! And keep pounding it with the cannon, zrrt!

^?Open up the sea chart you brought with you, zrrt!

^?The Shipyard is at this location, vrrt. Let me mark it for you with an [X], vweep.

^?OK! Set sail, vrrm!

^?The Shipyard is where we used to build our ships, vrrt. My ship was built there too, vweep!

If you go to the Shipyard, you might find some clues to the location of my ship, brrzrrt!

^?This is pretty scary, vweep...

The pirate captain is a mechanical maniac, zrrt! He's got no shortage of evil underlings too, vrrm!

I never wanted to lay eyes on him again, brrzrrt. But...

If we want to take the ship back, then we have no choice, phoo-weep!

^?The Pirate Stronghold is here at this [X] mark, zrrt.

^?Tighten up whatever you humans have instead of bolts, and let's get going, phoo-weep!

^?How are we going to search this whole huge sea, vrrm?

I have no choice but to ask you to do it for me, brrzrrt! So get cracking, vweep!

There is a high probability that the ship is currently hidden from our view, phoo-weep. But if we attack it, then we might catch a glimpse of it, zrrt!

^?Master, please take a look.

^?This object is called a Timeshift Orb.

I conjecture that, unlike the Timeshift Stones we've seen, this device was designed to be carried around and installed in different locations.

^?Master, I have determined that this is Skipper's sea chart. Let's take it back to him.

Master, look over there.

^?That is the ship containing Nayru's Flame. There is a 90% chance that the synthetic life-forms assembled here are the crew.

^?This image would indicate that the ship's captain spent many happy days among his many crew members.

^?Master, please take a look.

^?This device looks like it is meant to hold a Timeshift Stone, but there is not one currently installed.

There is a 95% chance that it is the same type of device as the ones we encountered in Lanayru Mine.

^?Signs indicate that Timeshift Stones were used in this facility as a kind of power source.

^?Master, we have arrived at the Shipyard construction bay.

^?With the passing of many years, this structure has filled with sand.

^?I recommend looking in the sand for a clue that may direct you to the location of the ship.

^?I recommend waiting until after you have achieved your objective before taking a rest. First we need to find the sea chart.

^?A report, Master.

^?I have detected a bug infestation in the upper area of the house.

^?A report, Master. The power of the Timeshift Orb appears to have caused a change in this structure.

I recommend going outside to further assess the situation.

^?To Shipyard Center

^?To the Pier

^?To the Construction Bay

^?Approach the cart and press [A] to get on.

^?Lean your body with the Wii Remote to balance the weight of the cart as you approach a curve.

^?If you're moving too fast, press [B] to slow down.

^?Shake the Wii Remote upward to jump over obstacles.

^?Last Stop: Construction Bay

^?Only YOU can warn your coworkers early enough to avoid pirate attacks, zrrt!

^?At the end of this month, rail cars will be out of operation for a full day while the track is inspected, vrrm.

^?I hope the plans for my ship are completed soon...

^?A report, Master.

This is Lanayru Sand Sea. This whole area was once a vast ocean.

^?But the water has all evaporated, and now the area is a sea of sand.

^?Signs indicate that this place functioned as a port, linking the land to the sea.

^?This area operated on a new form of power. There is a 90% probability that the sacred flame is located ahead.

I recommend exploring this sand sea.

^?Dear Captain, Thanks for everything, zrrt! Yours, the Crew, vrrrrrm.

^?Dear Dad, Good luck at work, vrrm!

^?Lanayru Mining Facility

^?Master, look at this.

^?There is a great door here that is locked tight.

^?It is only logical that something of great importance likely rests behind this door.

404-DesertF3.msbt

^?Lanayru Gorge

^?Cough...cough...

Oh, hello... I haven't had a visitor like you here in...quite a while.

You're a human, aren't you? You must have some reason for coming this far. What is it?

...

I see. So you're [Link] from the sky... Cough... That's not much of a name, is it?

How about I add a model number to your name like my friends have got? Maybe LD-[Link]-16...?

Oh. I can tell you don't like the sound of that. That's a shame... Cough...cough... So, what can I do for you? Ohh... You say you need me to teach you a song? Cough...

^?Hold on, now. Didn't you just say you came from the sky, [Link]? So then you're the hero chosen by the goddess, aren't you? I see... Well, that is something...

Although I must apologize. You see, I can't really help you.

I may have enough strength for a brief chat like this, but... Well, as you can see, I am quite ill. Cough...

I'm in no shape to sing.

And to think it was the goddess herself who entrusted me with this important duty... I feel the deepest shame... Cough...

^?Hello there, [Link]. It looks like you've found a seedling from the Tree of Life, haven't you?

But it's too late. I'm done for. I won't live long enough for the tree to grow large and produce the fruit that could save me. Cough...cough... It's such a shame. If I had the strength, I could sing you as many songs as you wanted. Cough...cough...

^?...

^?The robots were worried about me, so they planted a seedling from the Tree of Life. The fruit of this tree is said to be able to cure any illness... They planted the seedling over there. Cough... But it just won't grow. Cough... I think this is the end for me.

^?What's that, [Link]? You say you will find a place where the seedling will grow quickly for me?

That would be a great help... All I would need to do is eat one piece of fruit from the Tree of Life to recover my full strength. But that seedling cannot be planted just anywhere. Look for a place with very rich soil.

^?[Link]! I owe you my life! You have to let me repay you.

Give me some time to prepare, and when you next return to visit me... I believe you will be mightily pleased!

^?[Link]... Please bring me the fruit from the Tree of Life as soon as you...can.

^?...

^?Master Thunder Dragon's condition has been bad for a long time, and the soil here is not suitable for growing trees, zrrt. If only we had more time, vrrm...

^?What are you doing with that seedling, vrrm?! Master Thunder Dragon needs fruit from the Tree of Life to recover!

Unless you mean to help our master, bzzzzt?

Of course.

Not really.

^?Really, vrrm?! Thank you, zrrt! Make sure you plant the seedling somewhere it will be sure to thrive, phoo-weep. I fear growing the seedling to maturity in Lanayru Province is impossible, brrzrrt. We're counting on you, vweep!

^?Well, since you uprooted it, it's your responsibility now, vrrm! Make sure you plant that seedling where it can grow to maturity, phoo-weep. And that means taking it somewhere outside of the Lanayru area, bzzt! We're all counting on you, vweep!

^?I don't think there's any way that seedling would ever mature if you planted it in the Lanayru area, vrrm...

We need your help, brrzrrt! Master Thunder Dragon needs the fruit from the Tree of Life to regain his strength!

^?I love the view from here, vweep.

^?Brrm-ZORT! Is that what I think it is?! Quick, take it to Master Thunder Dragon, vweep-vweep!

^?...

^?Situation critical, vrrrrm! Master Thunder Dragon is very sick, bzzt.

And we can't do anything with this Timeshift Stone without Master Thunder Dragon's permission, vrrm.

But I guess we have bigger things to worry about than a Timeshift Stone, brrzrrt...

^?We wanted Master Thunder Dragon to get well, so we planted a seedling from the Tree of Life, which bears a fruit that is said to cure any illness, vrrm.

^?This area is only good for growing grass and flowers, zrrt. If we can't find a way to grow the seedling quickly... Our master will not make it, bzzt...

^?Master Thunder Dragon has regained his strength, and it is all thanks to your help, brrzrrt! We thank you, vweep!

^?Once he eats the fruit from the Tree of Life, Master Thunder Dragon will regain his strength, vrrm!

^?Did you come to visit Master Thunder Dragon, phoo-weep?

^?Master Thunder Dragon's present condition concerns me greatly, vwerp. Find him fruit from the Tree of Life, or his systems may fail...

^?...

^?There are lots of big Timeshift Stones here, zrrt. Did you get permission from Master Thunder Dragon to come here like we did, vrrm? We were just about to transport this Timeshift Stone to Master Thunder Dragon, vweep.

^?There are many monsters, vrrm. Practice extreme caution, bzrt!

^?You should hurry up before you get left behind, vrrm!

^?...

^?We got permission from our master, the Thunder Dragon, to dig for Timeshift Stones, vweep.

But Master Thunder Dragon is very ill right now, brrzrrt. I'm worried about him, vrrm. At this rate, our master may cease functioning, vweep...

^?On the other side of the bridge, we planted a seedling from the Tree of Life, which is said to bear fruit that can cure any illness, vrrm. But trees don't grow so well around here, vweep...

^?The Lanayru area is terrible for growing trees, zrrt. Do you know of a place where trees grow quickly, vweep?

^?Master Thunder Dragon is in very high spirits, vweep!

^?Kerr-CHUNK! Where did you get that fruit?! Did you bring it for Master Thunder Dragon, voo-weep?!

^?Master Thunder Dragon is strong again, vrrm!

^?I almost never get visitors! My name is Golo, and I am researching the legend of the three dragons, one of which is said to live here! At first glance, it would seem that there is nothing in this area, but I know there is something here. I will just keep on looking! So your name is [Link]? I see... Not the easiest name to say, is it?

And how about you, [Link]? Why are you here...?

You are looking for a sacred flame? That sounds like something I have heard of before, but maybe not...

Sweet goro, I remember now! I read something about it in ancient scrolls that spoke of the Lanayru Sand Sea. I do not remember all the details, but you can get to Lanayru Sand Sea if you just go straight through here.

^?So...you would not happen to be interested in excavating, would you? You are?! Well then, you are going to love this! The thing is, these research digs can get really expensive... But they can also be lucrative! Any interest in investing 10 Rupees in my dig?

Sure!

No chance.

^?That is too bad... I guess no one understands the importance of funding research digs these days...

^?Little goro, it seems you do not have enough Rupees. Well, you could always come back later to make a small investment. My research needs you!

^?Thanks! I will put these funds to good use!

^?You have certainly proved your passion for digging, my good friend! I will make sure these funds are put to good use, and I appreciate your patience.

^?Is there anything else I can help you with? If you find out anything about the legend of the three dragons, be sure to let me know!

^?You have certainly proved your passion for digging, my friend! If you find out anything about the legend of the three dragons, be sure to let me know.

^?If you want to get to the Lanayru Sand Sea, you are going to need this key!

^?Good luck to you!

^?Hey, over there! Is that you, [Link]?

Nice timing! I have been meaning to look for you!

Come over here for a minute!

^?Nice to see you, [Link].

Say, you ever find that sacred flame you were looking for? Really? You did?! Great! I was pretty curious about it, so spill all the details! ...I see. So after all that adventuring, you finally found it!

[Link], I have to say... You are pretty amazing!

^?You are not the only one! I found out some more about the legend of the three dragons. This news is going to blow your mind! ...I have found out that there is indeed a hidden area beyond here! There is a narrow path that I cannot fit through without losing a few pounds! My theory is that it probably links to the home of the Thunder Dragon, one of the three dragons in the legend.

And I am convinced that these robots must have something to do with it as well.

The Thunder Dragon, a bunch of robots, and Timeshift Stones...

What a story!

^?Oh, I almost forgot, [Link]! Do you remember that excavation project you invested in?

Well, we hit the jackpot! I found a large cache of Timeshift Stones. I can pay you back tenfold now!

^?I was able to dig a tunnel to the place where the Thunder Dragon lives, but... It is too narrow for me to go through. What am I going to do?

^?You made it to the dragon's home, [Link]?

I am so jealous!

You beat me to the punch!

^?Hey there, [Link]! I wanted to tell you that I found a hole that leads farther in!

But this rock is really strong. It looks like it will be a while before I can get all the way through it.

^?This is Lanayru Gorge. Legend tells of a dragon loyal to the goddess living in this area.

^?Signs indicate that an ancient civilization established a quarry here to mine the deposit of high-quality Timeshift Stones.

^?Consequently, the terrain is intricately subdivided with the remnants of long- abandoned mining equipment, such as mine carts and their tracks.

^?Some Bokoblins carry a Monster Horn on their waist.

If you latch on to it and pull with your whip, it is possible to claim it for yourself.

^?Ahead is Lanayru Sand Sea, an area covered in an ocean of sand! There are lots of ancient ruins there.

^?Ahead is Lanayru Desert. Adventures await those solving the mysteries of the quarry in the desert!

^?Ahead is Lanayru Mine. It is there that I will solve the mystery of the Timeshift Stones!

^?Entry to the area ahead is allowed only by permission of the Thunder Dragon, Lanayru.

405-DesertD2Clear.msbt

^?...

^?This is Nayru's Flame, vrrm! Just looking at it makes my circuits hum, vweeeeep.

In fact, the protection of the flame is what allowed us to fix the ship so quickly, brrzrrt!

^?Once we're all ready, our ship will set sail on this glorious sea once again, phoo-weep!

^?Thanks for getting my ship back, vrrm!

^?And these guys will get what's coming to them later, don't you worry, vweep!

^?What a view, vrrm...

^?Timeshift Stones propel our ship, vweep! That's why we have to make sure nothing hits them, brrzrrt...

^?There's nothing finer than seeing the whole crew standing at attention with the wind in their servos, phoo-weep!

^?Our precious treasure is gone, brrzrrt! Who stole it, vrrm?!

^?That's our precious treasure, zrrt! Don't touch it, vrrm!

^?We're getting ready for our next voyage, vweep! But the captain is working us so hard I think my gears are grinding, vrrm...

^?This control room transmits the power of the Timeshift Stones to the engine room, zrrrt. No unauthorized entry!

^?This is the engine room, brrzrrt. We're getting ready for a long journey, vweep. Try not to get crushed in here, vrrm!

^?There were more crew members originally, but after our ship was taken, many of them decided to pursue other functions, vrrm. This next journey across the seas is a mission to reunite with our missing crew members, phoo-weep!

^?Nothing is finer than sailing the high seas, phoo-weep! Are you coming with us, vrrm?

^?We're so proud of our captain, vweep!

There's nothing we wouldn't do for him, vrrm!

^?Standing here on the bow brings back so many memory functions, vweep... Some good, some bad, but such is the life of a sailor, zrrt!

406-TrolleyRace.msbt

^?This station here was used by folks heading into the old mines. People still ride the mine carts all over the place, though! I am probably supposed to tell you there is some "safety information" about using the carts posted on the wall over there. Cart riding can be, uh...dangerous at times, so I would suggest you give that stuff a quick read.

^?It is pretty fun to ride these mine carts. One day, I would love to set up a race!

^?Up for another run on the Rickety Coaster? You never know what will happen. Just 20 Rupees!

Sure!

Uh...no.

^?Hey, [Link]! You are back!

Think you have got the stomach to ride the Rickety Coaster? Just 20 Rupees!

I'm in!

No, thanks.

^?Oh well. Maybe some other time, eh?

^?You are out of cash? Well, then I guess that is that. Come back once you get yourself some pocket change.

^?Want to hear the rules again?

Sure.

Nope.

^?This here is a race against time-- scream across that finish line as fast as you can!

Tilt the Wii Remote to lean your cart. If you lean at just the right angle on a corner, you will get a nice speed boost.

Lose your concentration when you are cruising around a bend, though, and you will run right off the rails. If that happens, you lose the race.

^?Your best time so far is:

1. 1. 1. .##.

^?All right, let us get going!

^?So I have your attention?

Yes.

No.

^?Hey, you! What are you doing?

Well, you are here now...so how about a little fun?

Fun?

No way.

^?Now, come on, do not be like that. Hear me out first!

OK.

No chance.

^?Got your attention, eh? Geheh. Let me explain...

^?You could at least let me explain the rules...

^?Oh, all right, see you some other time!

^?What about all these prizes I have? So you are OK with letting them go to waste? You really are not interested?

Let's do it.

I'm sure.

^?Well, come back anytime you want to give it a try!

^?You finished!

^?You set a new record! Great work!

^?Hope you come by again soon!

^?Hold it. You cannot be serious. That was way too slow! Look, there is just no way I can give you a prize for that time.

^?I know you can do better than that. You were just warming up, right?

The secret is in getting just the right tilt. Here--you have earned this prize at least.

^?Not a bad time. Nope, not bad at all! Here is your prize!

^?Whoa, now! That was...unbelievable! Even I cannot go that fast.

^?What do you say? Have you got the guts to ride the Rickety Coaster? Just 20 Rupees a ride.

Sure!

No, thanks.

^?So what track will it be?

Scary!

Heart stopping!

^?Got it--the scary track it is. Good luck!

^?So you want the heart-stopping track, eh? You got it, but I just hope you are ready...

^?Your best time so far is:

1. 1. 1. .##.

^?Time is up. Try again next time!

^?Here you go! I found this treasure right here on this very island.

^?This is something I have been saving just for you.

^?You get a Rupee I have taken really good care of! I have been holding on to this one forever, but it is yours now.

^?Not a bad time, but you are nowhere near as fast as I am. Here are 50 Rupees!

^?Hey, that is my seat! Nobody sits their rear end on my seat but me, got it?

^?I have been here alone for...well, who knows how long. Years.

But I get to ride these carts every day, and I never get bored of it!

^?I am here every day running this coaster, but you are the only one who ever shows up. Could you spread the word? It is lonely out here. And...dry.

^?Master [Link].

^?As you know by now, I cannot follow you. The trial calls out to your mind alone, as it is in every Silent Realm.

This is the second trial, known as Nayru's Silent Realm. It will test your wisdom, Master.

You must overcome this trial to find the flames that will enhance your sword.

^?When your vessel is full, your spirit will grow and you will be entrusted with a new power by the goddess.

Do you have any questions?

Yes!

No.

^?Which topic do you wish to review?

The Spirit Vessel?

Guardians?

Waking Water?

Never mind.

^?Do you have any further questions?

The Spirit Vessel?

Guardians?

Waking Water?

Never mind.

^?Yes, Master.

^?Master, I will await your return in the outside world.

^?Yes, Master.

To fill the Spirit Vessel, you need to locate and collect every Tear of Nayru scattered across this Silent Realm.

^?Master, do you see the glowing object just in front of you?

^?That is a Tear of Nayru. You will need to collect 15 of them.

^?However, this is not as simple a task as it would seem. Your work in this realm is referred to as a trial for good reason.

^?If you take even a single step outside the protective circle you stand in, the Guardians of this realm will wake up and pursue you, Master.

^?If a Guardian manages to land even one attack on you, your spirit will shatter and you will fail the trial.

^?The unusual liquid substance that covers that area is known as Waking Water, and it has certain unique properties. If you make contact with Waking Water, the Guardians will be immediately alerted to your presence.

Pools of Waking Water are located all throughout the area. I suggest you watch where you step...

^?You must collect the tears scattered throughout this area and fill the Spirit Vessel without being hit by an attack.

^?When your Spirit Vessel is filled with 15 tears, your spirit will grow and you will be blessed by the goddess with a new power. Master, I will await your return in the outside world.

^?Master [Link], I can unfortunately confirm that you have failed to pass the trial.

^?Collect all the tears within the Silent Realm. I shall await your return here.

^?Master, so long as you have the will and determination, you can retry a trial as many times as you like.

A good strategy is to find, but then deliberately not pick up, the most- easily-accessible tears until you are discovered and really need one. Collect the 15 tears and complete the trial. I will await your return in the outside world.

^?The locations of tears you have gathered during your trial are marked on the map.

You will have an easier time completing your task if you first set out to discover the locations of all 15 tears.

^?Two types of Watchers patrol the realm, looking for intruders. I highly suggest you take caution.

So long as you do not step into their light, you will remain undetected by flying Sky Watchers.

However, the Earth Watchers, who hover near the ground, will give chase if you come too close to them, so stay alert and maintain a safe distance.

^?Master, the chances of your not being the chosen one are increasing...

Repeated attempts at this trial have scattered your concentration and made your performance erratic. I suggest you rest awhile before trying again.

^?I suggest using smart tactics to your advantage. Try leaving easy-to-collect tears for when you are being pursued.

^?The locations of tears that you have previously collected will be marked on the map, so make good use of that.

Confirm the locations of all 15 tears first to increase your chances of successfully completing the trial.

^?Master, in addition to the Guardians who will attack you, there are also two types of Watchers that search for intruders on the ground and in the sky. The two types of Watchers exhibit dramatically different behavior, so be sure you understand how to avoid detection by both.

^?We're here, [Link]! Show me what you've got!

451-Salvage.msbt

^?I have identified the item that the... highly unusual man on Fun Fun Island says was lost.

We can call the Scrap Shop robot to come and retrieve it. Would you like me to call the robot?

Yes!

No, thanks.

^?Yes, Master. If you change your mind and decide to retrieve it, please examine it again.

^?Master, I will send word to the robot using telepathic transmission.

^?Mistress Fi, zrrpt! You called?

Whoa, zrrft... This place seems strangely familiar, brrzrrt...

Bzzzt, so you want me to carry this thing?

^?I'll be waiting for you in the sky, so don't take too long, vrrt!

^?Master, I suggest that we head back to the sky and return this party wheel to its owner as soon as possible.

^?OK, OK, zrrft... You just sit tight there and stay out of my way, Master Shortpants, bzzzt!

^?I have identified the item that the unusual man on Fun Fun Island says was lost.

Under usual circumstances, we could call the Scrap Shop robot to come and retrieve it.

However, the robot is currently carrying out some duties at Eldin Volcano, so we cannot call him here.

I recommend returning to Eldin Volcano and verifying the status of the robot.

460-RairyuMinigame.msbt

^?Finally, [Link]! You really did come back! Glad to see it.

Well then, let's have some fun!

Or maybe a hero such as yourself has no time for playing around?

Well, what I offer is more than mere child's play! I would have you face challenges that draw upon the many hardships you've experienced thus far. Look to the past to understand the future! That's what I say. And I think you will find that you have much to gain in revisiting your own past. So what do you say, [Link]?

I'm game!

Maybe not.

^?You're a true hero! That's the spirit.

Then if you would permit me, I'll take a peek at your past experiences.

...

Indeed. Indeed. You have done some amazing things, like battling fierce foes and overcoming the daunting trials in the Silent Realm. All right, then! Based on those experiences, you can choose one of two exciting challenges!

Which one would you like to try? Pick whichever one you like.

Battle!

Silent Realm!

Neither.

^?What? You're not interested? How dull...

Ah, well. Come back anytime you change your mind. I'll be waiting.

^?[Link]! Are you here to do battle or challenge yourself in one of the trials in the Silent Realm?

Battle!

Silent Realm!

Neither.

^?So, [Link], tell me... Are you ready to have some fun?

We're just going to relive some of the greatest challenges in your young life... Are you up for it?

Bring it on!

Maybe not...

^?You want to do battle? Fantastic! I like your moxie.

Because you chose battle, I will select from only the toughest opponents you've ever faced...

And I will use my power to re-create the same battle, so you can face your greatest enemies once more!

You're being a good sport, so I'll reward you. Do well enough, and I might give you something truly special: an absurdly sturdy shield! Oh, but if you lose...

Well, let's just say that this isn't just a game... If you lose, it's all over. You won't be going home in one piece!

Still interested?

Yes!

No, thanks.

^?...Hey, hold on a second... You look like you're about to fall over! Are you sure you're really ready for this?

Of course!

No...

^?Right... No need to knock yourself out fighting these enemies here. Might as well save yourself for the real battles, I suppose... So don't even sweat it. Just come on back when you're back to full strength. I'll be waiting!

^?Spoken like a little warrior. I like it!

^?From the beginning of your journey, huh? In that case, let's see... Here we go! These guys look pretty tough. Which one would you like to face?

Ghirahim!

Scaldera!

Moldarach!

The Imprisoned!

^?From the middle of your journey, you say? In that case, let's see... Here we go! These guys look pretty tough. Which one would you like to face?

Koloktos!

Tentalus!

Ghirahim!

The Imprisoned!

^?From later on in your journey, huh? ...It looks like the only opponent you can face right now from the end of your journey is the Imprisoned.

^?From later on in your journey, huh? In that case, let's see... Here we go! These guys look pretty tough. Which one would you like to face?

The Imprisoned!

Horde battle!

^?From later on in your journey, huh? In that case, let's see... Here we go! These guys look pretty tough. Which one would you like to face?

The Imprisoned!

Horde battle!

Ghirahim!

^?From later on in your journey, huh? In that case, let's see... Here we go! These guys look pretty tough. Which one would you like to face?

The Imprisoned!

Horde battle!

Ghirahim!

Demise!

^?A fairly recent battle, huh? In that case, let's see... Here we go! These guys look pretty tough. Which one would you like to face?

Koloktos!

Tentalus!

Ghirahim!

The Imprisoned!

^?Scaldera, coming right up! It's that blazing-hot fireball-looking thing from the Earth Temple.

^?Ghirahim it is! He's that creeeepy guy you fought in Skyview Temple.

^?Scaldera, coming right up! It's that blazing-hot fireball-looking thing from the Earth Temple.

^?Moldarach it is! This creepy crawly is that big bug you fought in Lanayru Mining Facility.

^?All right, you'll face the Imprisoned! It's that gigantic thing you battled at the Sealed Grounds.

^?Koloktos it is! It's that six-armed mechanized monstrosity you fought at the Ancient Cistern!

^?Tentalus it is! You might know this beast as the weirdo with one eye that you fought on the Sandship.

^?Ghirahim it is! This is the creepy- looking guy you fought in that sweltering-hot Fire Sanctuary.

^?The Imprisoned it is! It's that gigantic, disgusting beast you battled for a second time at Sealed Grounds.

^?The Imprisoned it is! This is the huge beast you battled for a third time at the Sealed Grounds.

^?Oh-ho, a horde battle! You'll face off against the horde of monsters that Ghirahim summoned at the Sealed Grounds.

^?Ghirahim it is! He's the creepy guy you fought at the Sealed Grounds.

^?OK, Demise it is! You've fought some real baddies, but this one really makes my scales crawl!

^?Ah! I forgot to tell you something!

The only items you can use in battle are items you would have had at the time. Yep, that's it!

Also, pouch items are prohibited! I know that sounds really hard, but you fought these guys once before, so I've got to keep it interesting. Hmm... Maybe I am being a little bit rough on you here. Tell you what... I'll let you take the shield you currently have equipped.

^?You all set? You've got a shield on and everything? If you're ready, we're going to do this for real! Are we ready?

Let's do this!

Maybe not.

^?Psych yourself up for this!

^?Oh, so you've changed your mind? No scales off my back. If you want to try later, you're welcome to come back at any time. If you want to change your shield, just equip the one you need and come talk to me again.

^?All right, then...which period of your journey would you like to face an enemy from?

The beginning.

The middle.

Later on.

Never mind.

^?Now then...would you like to face an enemy from near the beginning of your journey, or a fairly recent one?

The beginning.

Fairly recent.

Never mind.

^?Wow, [Link]! That was incredible. You're quite a warrior!

^?Well done! Spectacular skills on display once again.

^?Here's how long it took you to finish off [var]:

1. 1. 1. .##.

^?Hey, you know what? That was your first time reliving that battle! Let's celebrate with a little prize for your efforts.

^?Nice work! You beat your record! I can't let you go empty handed. Here--take this.

^?That was not your finest, I have to say! No new record. Seriously, maybe you could step it up a little bit next time.

^?That was not your finest, I have to say! No new record! Still...you beat everything I can throw at you right now, so that's something!

^?By the way, if you want my greatest prize, you'll have to beat the record: #:##.

If you want to best that, you're going to have to start training like a champ!

^?Congratulations! That's eight victories in a row!

^?Wow! You pulled off nine victories in a row! Who would have thought?

^?You pulled off 10 victories in a row?! You're something else!

^?You keep amazing me, you know that? Eleven victories in a row... I've never seen anything like it!

^?Twelve battles, twelve victories! You are the real deal... A genuine warrior!

^?What's this? Your pouch is full, and so is your space at the Item Check in Skyloft? Then I guess you won't be getting this shield.

^?Ouch! Can't be helped, I guess. Oh, but I will give you 1000 Rupees for that impressive performance! You'll just have to try for the shield next time.

^?By the way, [Link]...what do you think about trying another battle right now?

I wouldn't ask you if there wasn't another reward on the table. In fact, the more battles you win, the better your reward when you finish! As I mentioned before, I've got lots of rewards, including an absurdly sturdy shield! Makes you want to leap right into another fight, doesn't it? However--I bet you can see where I'm going with this--if you fail, that's the end of our little game.

And keep in mind that your shield durability and hearts will carry over from battle to battle. It makes the battles all the more...exciting!

^?Quit now, and you'll get yourself a not- too-shabby [var].

But the next win will net you a fabulous [var]! What'll it be? Do you want to continue?

Continue!

Quit...

^?That's what I'm talking about! But there's one more thing...

For consecutive battles, I get to choose what opponent comes next. I mean... you didn't really want to have to pick an enemy every time, did you? Now you get to look forward to finding out who your opponent is at the start of each battle. But enough chatter. Let's get this fight started!

^?Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!

The next battle will be No. #. To defeat all the enemies, you must win this many more battles: #. So let's get on with it!

^?Right... No need to knock yourself out fighting these enemies here, right? Might as well save yourself for the real battles, I suppose... But you battled hard! Just as I promised, I'll give you this.

^?Here you go. Five Rupees. Hey, don't give me that look!

^?Here's 20 Rupees. Don't go spending it all at once!

^?Here's 50 Rupees! Go on, then. Take it!

^?Here's 100 Rupees! Spend it on something worthwhile!

^?Here's 200 Rupees! Well, look at you now!

^?Here's 300 Rupees! Go buy something nice for yourself!

^?Here's 500 Rupees! Must be a fortune for you!

^?Look at this--1,000 Rupees! Have you ever seen so much?

^?Gah, 2,000 Rupees! It's robbery!

^?Hey! Take this!

^?Here's your prize!

^?You've won this fabulous prize!

^?Whoa, now! You get 3,000 Rupees! What are you going to spend it all on?!

^?This time you win 9,900 Rupees! I think you've pretty much cleaned me out!

^?Come back for a battle anytime! You know where to find me.

^?You want to take a shot at a trial in the Silent Realm? You got guts, boy!

These Silent Realm challenges are the same as all the trials you've seen up until now, and I'll be re-creating them right here. But just finishing the trial won't be enough. I'll time how long it takes for you to finish, and if you're fast enough, I'll give you a reward. However...if you get hit even once by a Guardian, you'll fail the Silent Realm challenge and return here with severely diminished hearts. So...are you up to the challenge?

Yes!

Not really.

^?Hey, hold on a second... You look like you're about to keel over! Are you sure you're really ready for this?

This isn't worth risking your life for. How about you give it a rest for today?

Come back when you've replenished those hearts.

^?That's what I wanted to hear, brave warrior! Now choose a Silent Realm trial.

Faron Woods!

Eldin Volcano!

Lanayru Desert!

Never mind.

^?That's what I wanted to hear, brave warrior! Now choose a Silent Realm trial.

Faron Woods!

Eldin Volcano!

Lanayru Desert!

Somewhere else.

^?Somewhere else? Where to, then?

Skyloft!

Previous places.

I quit.

^?Make your mind up already! Which place will it be?

Faron Woods.

Eldin Volcano.

Lanayru Desert.

More places.

^?Right, let me see... Your best time for this area is: #:##.##.

^?Then let's get this thing started! Close your eyes and concentrate...

^?Well done, [Link]! You got every last one of them. You're a true warrior!

^?Way to go! Looks like you made it back in one piece.

^?Ohhhhh, you really fumbled that one, my friend...

And failure comes with a price--you're left with a single heart. Better go grab some more and come back later.

^?The time it took to finish this trial was

1. 1. 1. .##.

^?Looks like that was your first time in a Silent Realm trial here! We have to celebrate that with a reward.

^?Well done. That's a new record! I have just the right prize for you. Go on. Take it.

^?Amazing, [Link]! That's a very fast time! You deserve something special. Here you go!

^?Very impressive time! Here--this is your prize!

^?Hmm... Nothing to get excited about... But you did your best, so have this.

^?Come on, now. Are you even trying?

Next time, put some heart into it! You know, some oomph! I'm sorry to say this is all I can give you this time.

^?So what do you say, [Link]? One more Silent Realm trial?

Yes!

No.

^?Boring! Well, if you change your mind, come back and see me.

^?Whoa, [Link], I told you to wait a little while, but you just couldn't resist, eh?

Well I guess there's no sense in waiting any longer. Let's get this show started!

Of course, seeing as how you're the hero of legend, you don't really have time to just goof off here, right?

Right. So how about we make this bit of fun more meaningful by taking you back through some of those challenges you've faced previously? You know, sometimes you've got to step backward to go forward. There's a lot you can learn from revisiting your past struggles! Oh ho, yes! So, [Link], are you game?

Yeah!

Not really...

^?Impa!

^?Your Grace! Quickly, to the gate!

^?[Link]!

^?[Link], here! You'll need this where you're going.

^?You got the Goddess's Harp! But there's no time to admire it!

^?Go! Now!

^?...[Link].

Go!

Am I late?

Protect Zelda!

^?You have my thanks. I will leave him to you.

^?...No. You're right on time.

^?I will. You have my thanks, [Link].

^?[Link]! You must go now. Return to the old woman at the Sealed Grounds. Tell her what happened here. She will know where you must go!

^?And know that we will--

^?I'll see you again! This isn't good-bye, [Link]!

^?I promise!

^?Now you've done it, [Link].

I blame myself. I should have reprimanded you the last time we met, but instead I was...soft.

I'd take pleasure in punishing you, but I have no time for recreation.

But next time, I'll do more than just beat you senseless.

I'll make the affair so excruciating, you'll deafen yourself with the shrill sound of your own screams.

^?The flames of Nayru have transformed your blade, expanding Fi's powers. She can now help you use your dowsing ability to search for more objects!

^?With your sword enhanced, you can learn a new melody. I recommend we return to the Isle of Songs.

^?Oh, [Link]. Hello there. Is there something you need?

^?Oh! OH! Is that what I think it is? You brought that here for me, didn't you?

^?Whoa-ho... Down the hatch!

^?ZINGA-DINGDING!

^?Oh, you've done it, boy. I can feel the fruit's effect surging through me! It's exhilarating! I feel like a proper dragon again!

^?Just because I have eternal life doesn't mean I can't get mighty sick! Thanks to you, boy, this old dragon will keep on charging awhile yet! I owe you a big thank-you, so allow me to perform a moving rendition of my part of the Song of the Hero!

I should warn you, I've got a mean set of pipes and I know how to use them! This'll clean out those ears, boy, so brace yourself!

^?You learned part of the Song of the Hero!

^?Sealed Grounds

^?Hah! She packs a mean punch, doesn't she! I tell you, I was in love the first time I pulled this lever!

I'll start loading her back up with another bomb, so keep beating on big ugly till I give you the signal!

^?Whoops, missed! All this muscle's not worth much if I don't hit my target!

I'll start loading my machine back up with another bomb, so keep clobbering stanky toes till I give you the signal!

^?We got it, but that shot hit kinda late!

I'll start loading 'er back up, so keep beating on big ugly till I give you the signal!

^?Nice! You're locked and loaded! We'll aim it to send you straight for the spike on its head!

^?This time, you're the payload! Haha! I'll give you a boost, but there's no guaranteeing this is gonna work.

^?I knew it. The seal has given way.

I'll explain later, but now is the time for action. We must keep that beast from escaping that pit!

It must not reach the temple!

^?Master, I have information to report.

^?While these doors appear to have been opened recently, they are now sealed shut by a powerful unidentified force.

^?The creature we passed who was under assault may have information. I suggest we fight off his assailants.

^?Master [Link], we've arrived.

^?This is the fabled surface that has long been part of Skyloft legend.

^?By my calculations, you are currently positioned in a location known as the Sealed Grounds.

^?Please proceed with caution, Master.

^?Master, please make sure to use your Sailcloth when descending from high elevations. Failing to do so has a high probability of resulting in injury. I took the liberty of deploying the Sailcloth for you this time, but in the future you can manually engage it by pressing [B] before landing.

^?...Young one...

Child of destiny descended from the sky...

^?Raise the sword of the goddess skyward... Take aim at the evil aura and unleash its power...

^?Master, I have information for you.

I have the ability to offer information on items and creatures you target with [Z].

While targeting something with [Z], press [d-pad down] and I will brief you with all the information I know on the subject.

^?So lemme see if I've got this right.

The old lady living in the temple down the road from here knows where Zelda is?

^?I see... Right, [Link]. Thanks for getting me here. You've done a good job. You can head home.

Big Groose will handle the search for Zelda from here.

^?Yup. I'll track her down, save her, and then give her a lift back to Skyloft...

^?Then when we get back, I'll ask her if she wants to make our whole going-out thing official, and then the two of us will get some quality time together.

^?Anyway, the point is your work here is done. I got it covered from here!

^?Now, it's off to find that old lady you were talking about.

^?Catch you later, [Link]!

^?[Link], go quickly! Check on the sealing spike at the bottom of the pit.

There is nothing natural about these tremors. That monster could free itself at any moment. Approach the pit with caution!

^?Go quickly, [Link]! Check on the sealing spike at the center of the pit.

^?There is nothing natural about these tremors. That monster could free itself at any moment. Approach the pit with caution!

^?[Link], you must seal away the beast as soon as possible!

It has grown stronger since you faced it last. Do not let your guard down.

^?You do remember how to seal the beast away, yes?

Hit the sealing spike with a Skyward Strike! Focus your mind. You have the power to do this.

^?[Link], you must restore the seal that imprisons that monstrosity!

It has grown stronger since you faced it last. You must always stay on guard.

^?To break the seal for a third time... Truly this is a fearsome beast.

But now you must send it back to its prison once more. Restore the seal! I know you hold the power.

^?Whoa! Wh-what's with all the shaking?

The whole ground is heaving... I thought it was supposed to be solid down here!

^?Whoa! Wh-what's with all the shaking?

^?The whole ground is heaving... I thought it was supposed to be solid down here!

^?Aaaaah!

^?...What are you doing standing there? Get your tail down there, and patch up that seal like Grannie told you!

All you gotta do is whack that spike with a blast from your sword, right?

^?Now, [Link]!

Strike the sealing spike with a Skyward Strike, and restore the seal! Quickly!

^?Master, I have important information for you. The beast you face has a sealing spike lodged in its forehead.

You must not leave this place until you have successfully restored the seal that restrains this beast.

^?Master, you must not leave this area until you have restored the seal that restrains this beast.

^?Master, the beast freed itself again. You must stay here and stand against it.

^?Master, you must not leave this area until you have restored the seal that restrains this beast.

^?Master, it is your destiny to seal away this beast. You must not run from it.

^?Master, you must not leave this area until you have restored the seal that restrains this beast.

^?Awwww, c'mon!

I couldn't do a thing!

I'm totally useless!

^?Sniff... I'm just deadweight. What kinda use is that to anyone...

^?Hey. How goes it, [Link]? You know, I've been doing some hard thinking lately.

Grannie keeps telling me I got my own part to play in this whole thing, you know?

I'm not cut out for slashing and skewering monsters with a sword like you, but maybe I don't gotta be.

I think I got another way to help Zelda. I'm gonna do it the "Groose way."

I'm not giving you any details right now, but just wait and see. I got an idea brewing that'll knock your green beanie off!

^?I'll help Zelda in my own way. You'll see, [Link].

^?Out of the way! Scram!

^?G-get them!

^?Whew! Thanks for jumping in there to rescue me, bud!

^?Just who were those red pests? I did not expect to run into a pack of them in this peaceful forest.

Same goes for you. This is the second time I've bumped into one of your kind today. I tell you, all sorts of weird things are going on lately. I owe you big for taking care of those guys, so let me tell you something fascinating.

^?Hey, bud! I am Gorko the Goron. I am researching the ancient history of these woods here.

According to the ancient texts, there is some kind of place up above called the Isle of the Goddess. Far up in the sky!

Apparently, these old statues serve as landmarks to those traveling up to the sky or down from this Isle of the Goddess place. If you find one, be sure to examine it to keep tabs on the number of landmarks. They are rumored to be quite useful.

Supposedly this statue is special, as it is said to have the ability to activate all the other statues.

The whole thing sounds a little crazy, I know, but I for one believe it to be true!

Otherwise, why would all these statues be here all over the place?

^?According to some of the ancient texts I have read, there is a place way up in the sky called the Isle of the Goddess.

Old statues like the one behind me were placed here to provide travelers with a way back up to the island.

My research seems to suggest this particular statue is special in that it alone holds the power to activate all the other statues. Hey, I will be the first one to admit it sounds like something out of a fairy tale, but I am starting to believe it!

I mean, if that is not true, then what are all these statues doing all over this land?

^?It is a real head-scratcher, bud. Makes you want to know more, does it not?

Yeah!

Not really...

^?GORO!

^?What was THAT?!

The statue just reacted to you! What did you do? Come on, do not make a big guy beg! I have got to know!

^?The statue just reacted to you! What did you do? Come on, do not make a big guy beg! I have got to know!

^?Ah, sounds like I have a fellow connoisseur of ancient cultures here!

All right, bud, you had better brace yourself, because I am about to blow your mind.

So get this: people actually live on this sky island, and they get around by flying on the backs of huge birds that are way bigger than birds down here! Up there everyone reveres the goddess, and the residents of all the islands in the sky live in a perfect society, totally free of conflict or unhappiness! Not only that, but from what I can tell, their civilization is way, way more advanced than ours down here.

^?But it does not even stop there, bud! This Isle of the Goddess has even more stuff to marvel at!

The place was crafted by the goddess herself, so it figures that it is filled with wonders we do not have here.

The buildings are all made of gold! An endless spring of mystical water feeds a river through the place. One sip of that stuff, and you live forever! The trees are heavy with plump fruit that cures all disease! The fields are crowded with pumpkins that never rot! Magic wildflowers bloom everywhere! And the weather. Oh, the weather, bud! Not too hot, not too cold. No chance of sweaty heat in this garden paradise! That is the Isle of the Goddess... Amazing, right? WRONG! IT IS BEYOND AMAZING!

You want to hear more about it, don't you, bud?

Sure!

Nah...

^?I have to examine this statue further, bud. Who knows what I might find out!

^?Ah, that so, bud? I was hoping to tell you more, but I guess it can wait.

^?Good to hear, bud! I am completely obsessed with this place. I cannot get enough of it!

I wish I had more to tell you now, but I will need to research these statues to learn more.

Next time I bump into you, I will give you the latest info!

^?WHOA!

^?What in the world just happened? Did you use some kind of magic?

The statue reacted the moment you got near it, bud. How crazy is that?

^?[Link], look at the beast's forehead! Do you see the sealing spike embedded there?

Drive the spike back into its head, and put a stop to its rampage!

^?It's too late! All... All is lost.

^?Hey, [Link], the machine's all loaded and ready to smash!

If that flabby sack of teeth tries to climb the wall, I can blast it off from here with a bomb!

When you want some backup from me, just send me the signal with [d-pad up]!

^?Hey, [Link]! The machine's loaded and ready to bring the boom!

When you want me to back you up with a big blast, just send me the signal with [d-pad up]!

^?Oh NO!

Not good! The road crumbled, and I can't get to the rest of my bomb stash! What do I do?!

^?[Link]! Come up to the temple, and make your way over here. Hustle up!

^?Awwright! It's time for Groose to explode into action!

^?Adjust the machine's position with [control stick left/right], and aim at your target with the Wii Remote.

Once you finish aiming, press [A] to launch a bomb. If it hits, you'll stun the scaly sucker!

^?If you forget the controls, press [2] anytime you're in control of the Groosenator to review the basics!

^?Grannie says that crazy monster we saw could break free again at any time, but we're not going down easy.

There's nothing I hate more than being caught unprepared, so I'm brewing up a secret weapon to take on big ugly!

It's not ready yet, but you can bet it'll go down in history as a Groose original.

^?Look at that. Seems like our ugly friend grew itself a pair of hands. Great timing!

I hope it knows how to catch, because my machine has a mean right arm!

When she's all loaded up, I'll let you know. Until then, do what you need to do to stop it!

^?Well, look who's finally back. Good thing too, 'cause I was getting tired of waiting to put a hurting on his ugly mug! [Link]! Let's do this! Our game plan is the same as last time. You know what to do!

^?WHOA! Since when did it learn how to fly?!

It's headed straight for the temple, but there's no way I'm letting it get there! Big ugly's going down burning!

^?Is that it? Man, I thought it was going to put up more of a fight. Somebody should really thank the genius who made this machine! OK, [Link], time for you to go show big ugly who's boss!

^?So today's the day I finally get to bust out the Groosenator!

Soon as I'm ready to fire, you'll see my signal appear above [d-pad up]. Till then, it's up to you and that sword of yours to keep that thing away!

^?The Groosenator is ready for action!

Just press [d-pad up] to set up the shot!

Adjust the machine's position with [control stick left/right], and aim at your target with the Wii Remote. Once your shot's set, let that scaly creep have it!

^?Guess it's time for the Groosenator to work its magic again!

Just like before, you'll see me appear above [d-pad up] when the machine's ready for action.

You and me are going to tag team this freak! Let's do it, [Link]!

^?[Link], we're in trouble! I can't get to my stash of bombs!

All right... [Link]! We've got no choice! You've got to get up onto that ugly thing's head! Quick now!

^?Nice work there, [Link]! Course, you couldn't've done it without me, but no need to thank Groose. I know I saved your tail. Now let's get that Gate of Time thing up and running. I'll go on ahead!

^?I think I showed that monster who the real boss is, eh? [Link], get down there and seal it away again!

Just zap the spike down there with a blast from your sword like last time.

^?Whew... I gotta say, [Link], I thought we were goners this time. Sorta glad I was wrong about that.

I'm gonna run ahead to the temple. You should get back there too!

^?And the day is saved again thanks to the big man. Now get down there, and fix that seal before it comes back!

^?Want to head to Faron Woods, do you?

No sweat. Just hop on into the Groosenator, and I'll fling you over!

OK!

No way.

^?OK. Let me know if you decide you want a "lift" to the forest!

^?All right! Hop in, and I'll take care of the flingin'. You just worry about the landing...

^?With my machine, the woods are just a fling away!

^?You stay safe out there!

^?[Link], bad news! That beast looks like it's about to break free again!

^?Gotta get into position! Hang tight!

^?Yo, [Link]! This machine of mine can sling you all over the land if you're interested in a little birdless flight.

^?This machine of mine can sling you all over the land if you're interested in flying without a Loftwing.

^?With a man of my skill at the controls, I can guarantee that I won't chuck you anywhere boring!

If you land somewhere you don't know, well, maybe it's a great time to look around and explore the place!

^?So, where you flying to today?

The sky!

The surface.

Never mind!

^?Somewhere fun in the sky, huh? What kind of fun are you looking for?

Skydiving.

Bug hunting.

Something else...

^?What kind of fun are you looking for? Anything in particular?

Cutting!

Shooting!

Never mind.

^?Somewhere fun in the sky, eh? Where should I launch you?

Skydiving.

Bug hunting.

Cutting.

Never mind.

^?Somewhere fun down here, eh? What kind of fun are you looking for?

Lightning Round!

Thrill Digger!

Rickety Coaster!

Never mind.

^?OK, here we go! Hold on to your little hat!

^?If you ever want to travel to fun places in style, just come see me!

^?Yo, [Link]!

I decided the best thing for me to do is hang back here on the surface with you. Hey, someone's got to do it!

^?Hey! [Link]!

^?Duh huh huh! Try not to drool on your shirt as you stare at this amazing superweapon I've been working on!

^?I call it...the Groosenator!

^?Leaves you speechless, doesn't it? That's only natural. You wouldn't believe how much time I put into building this beauty.

^?Here--check it out!

^?First, I got all the fences cluttering the area out of the way. Then I laid down rails for her to run on. All by myself, of course. I don't know what came over me! I had no clue I had the talent to make something like this, you know?

Anyhow, you just tell me where you want me to place my shots, and I'll put a hurting on that ugly monster!

^?I don't care how beefy you are--you're bound to stumble for a few moments after taking one of my big bombs to the body!

^?Hang on, though... That monster showed up a smidge sooner than I was expecting.

^?There are a few final adjustments I gotta make before she can move on the rails I've put down.

I'll call out to you when she's ready for action. Till then, do whatever you can to hold off that beast!

^?Feels like that seal is going to give way any second.

^?Whoa!

^?Uh...but no need to panic!

You know what the Groosenator can do, am I right?

^?As long as I'm at the controls of this bombshell beauty, I don't even know the meaning of the word "defeat"!

Flinging bombs on this monster's face, defending the land... It's my purpose, I think. It's why I'm here.

^?Anyway, [Link], I've got work to do. Try not to get in the way of my shots, OK?

^?Master [Link], I'm sensing a change in the area that was triggered by your Skyward Strike.

^?I have also detected an aura that correlates closely to your Sailcloth. I surmise this aura belongs to Zelda.

I can lead you in the direction of this aura through a process known as dowsing.

Would you like me to explain this process to you?

Please!

Nah...

^?As you wish, Master.

Dowsing is when I detect the presence of the aura of something you wish to search for using the tip of the sword.

The nearer you are to an object emitting the aura in question, the stronger the response will be.

This response manifests itself through vibration and sound. The direction of the object emitting the aura is indicated by the purple pointer you see.

^?Hold down [C] and select Zelda as your dowsing target, then point in the direction you wish to search.

^?Understood, Master.

^?Master, you must seal away the beast that has broken free. Attempting to flee from your current situation will not help you accomplish this task.

501-Inpa.msbt

^?Ah... The traveler descended from the clouds above. I welcome you, child of fate.

^?Tell me, what is your name?

...[Link]? Ah, [Link]. Good. Very good.

I sense you have already gained control over the sacred power that fills your sword when pointed skyward. The Skyward Strike is yours to command. It is proof that you are fit to bear the blade you carry, the Goddess Sword.

I have sat here for many years waiting for you to arrive. All so that I could fulfill my purpose as your guide.

^?You stand under the roof of the Sealed Temple, a place built by the goddess an eternity ago.

Your arrival here was predestined many, many years ago.

The spirit maiden you seek arrived here shortly before you, descending to this land in a shower of light.

There's no doubting it. The gears of fate have begun to turn.

^?Yet all is not as it should be. The spirit maiden was not meant to reach this land in the manner she did.

I feel an evil power working in the shadows. It moves to warp the destiny of which you two are a part.

^?[Link]...You are concerned for the spirit maiden and seek her whereabouts, yes?

...That is understandable, but for now you must focus on moving forward. That girl has her own purpose she must pursue, as do you. She set out for Faron Woods to discover that destiny for herself, and you must follow.

^?Show me your map.

^?The [X] upon your map marks the path that will lead you to Faron Woods.

You will be traveling in unfamiliar land. Many monsters have settled here, and a map may not prove guidance enough for your journey. And so I will give you the power to create beacons.

When a beacon is marked on your map, a column of light will stand at that location. It will act as your waypoint from afar. Point at the [X] and press [C] to place a beacon.

^?Though you cannot see it from where we are, a beacon stands outside to guide you. Leave the temple through the front doors, and see for yourself. When you no longer have a use for a beacon, you can remove it from your map by pressing [C].

Use your beacons well, and you will never fear getting lost.

^?You haven't set a beacon over [X] yet.

To remove a beacon from your map, point at it and press [C] once more.

If you aim to be more accurate with the placement of your beacons, zoom in with [A] before you lay one down.

^?Go now. You must head into Faron Woods and chase after the spirit maiden...the one you call Zelda.

On your way out, take the contents of the treasure chest within this room. What you find there should prove useful to you on your journey.

^?Go on now. Point at [X] and press [C] to place a beacon at that location.

^?You are ready. Leave through the door before you, and head into the woods. I wish you safe travel.

^?The door that leads to Faron Woods is open now. Leave through the door to my left, and head for the woods.

All the questions you have now will be answered in time. For now, you must go, [Link]. Walk bravely.

^?Know that all the questions you have now will be answered in time. For now, [Link], go bravely!

^?No doubt you've seen the great spiraling pit just outside the temple. Know that something sleeps sealed away in the depths of that place. Do not worry yourself about what slumbers there. It will be made known to you when the time is right.

^?We shall find more time to talk later. For now, you must go.

^?Huh? You gotta be kidding me, Grannie!

^?You're messing with me. Say it again, I dare you!

^?I only speak the truth. You are not the one who will save her. The spirit maiden, your Zelda, can only be saved by another. It has been his fate to do this thing, and in doing so save us. As it was decided long before you were brought crying into this world.

^?Shut it, Grannie!

You obviously don't know me well, 'cause if you did, you'd know that if anyone's gonna save Zelda, it's Groose! How could it not be me? Plus, if it ain't me, why would I even be here? Pffft. If I'm not up to the job of being the hero, just who is?

^?Huh?

^?Oh...now I getcha.

[Link], Grannie here has been trying to tell me you're gonna be the big hero who rescues Zelda.

^?What a joke! Look, all I've heard so far is a bunch of babbling about destiny, but that's a load of garbage.

I know you, and you're no hero, shrimp!

^?Waaaah!

^?Greetings, [Link]. Were you able to catch up with Zelda?

^?Ah, I see. So the guardian was there as well, was she?

The one you saw by Zelda's side is known as Impa. She is a being sent forth by the goddess to aid Zelda in her quest.

^?The two have traveled somewhere in order to accomplish the great task destiny has set before them.

However, now that Impa has destroyed the gate that they used, there is only one way left to find them.

^?You must make use of the harp given to you by Zelda.

^?Come back, [Link]! The disturbance we're feeling is not in that direction.

^?Hurry. Take the door across from me, and see what is happening outside!

^?...Do you need to equip yourself before facing the unknown? Very well. I will not stop you, but you must hurry back!

^?When the three sacred flames have imbued your sword, only then will the Gate of Time open for you.

The clue that will lead you to the flames is woven into the song of your homeland known as the Ballad of the Goddess. You must return to Skyloft!

^?The seal's strength will not last. Sooner or later the great beast shall break its shackles once more.

Fortunately, I hear Groose has been hard at work preparing something for its next assault.

[Link], you must move fast. You must imbue your sword with the power of the three sacred flames.

^?The "Ballad of the Goddess." Based on my projections, this is likely the song Zelda sang on the day of the Wing Ceremony. I calculate an 85% probability that someone associated with the academy will be able to provide additional information about this song.

^?Ah, your sword!

There can be no doubt. The sacred flames have purified this blade. Well done, [Link]. That sword holds tremendous power.

^?That power is a sacred force.

It is a divine power left to us by the gods of old. The same power that is spoken of in the Ballad of the Goddess.

To look upon you is to see that same great power, now flowing through you and the sword you carry.

^?Come, [Link]. You must now open the Gate of Time.

^?Now that the sacred force dwells within your blade, strike the Gate of Time with a Skyward Strike and it will surely awaken.

^?Climb upon the pedestal, and show the gate your sword's power!

^?Now that the sacred force dwells within your blade, hit the Gate of Time with a Skyward Strike and it will surely awaken. Climb upon the pedestal, and show the gate your sword's power!

^?Yo, [Link]! Saw the rail track I put up outside, eh?

What's it for? Duh huh... Oh, you'll see before long!

^?WHOA-HO!

^?No... I fear the seal has given way once again. That terrible beast is awakening even as we speak.

It is likely that the monster reacted to the sacred power given off by your sword.

I wish it had not happened, but there was no other way to open the gate. So it goes...

^?[Link], you must imprison the beast once again.

^?All right! Bring it on!

^?This is what I've been waiting for. It's time to break out my new toy! Trust me, that flabby bag of teeth doesn't stand a chance. Well? What are we waiting for? I'm heading out there!

^?The beast is awakening from its slumber.

[Link], you must seal the beast away once more!

^?[Link], you must not loose another Skyward Strike now!

Were you to do so, it could speed up the monster's awakening.

We will return to the gate later. For the moment, you must focus your efforts on restoring the seal that holds the beast captive.

^?It seems you were successful in imprisoning the monster again.

^?You have my thanks, [Link].

^?As do you, Groose.

^?I do not wish to dwell on what may have happened if you two hadn't been here.

^?Duh huh, aww...you give me too much credit, Grannie.

You were the one who got me to stop feeling sorry for myself and put my energy into doing what I could to help.

^?I did what was necessary to get you to realize your full potential.

^?[Link], you must wonder just what it is you've been fighting out there in the great pit.

There is much I could tell you, but suffice to say it is the root of the evil we face. When you pass through the Gate of Time, you shall learn more. We may seal it and reseal it into its prison a thousand times, but it will always shatter the bonds that confine it. Such is its awesome power. We must destroy it at its source or suffer this fate again and again.

There is no time to lose. Hit the gate with a Skyward Strike.

^?Come on, already! Charge that sword of yours with that sacred force stuff Grannie was talkin' about, and zap the Gate of Time!

^?Right on, Grannie.

^?...Indeed. Now, [Link], go. Go to the gate.

^?[Link], it is time! Open the Gate of Time, and travel to the other side.

^?[Link], what are you doing? Did you meet with Zelda on the other side of the door?

If not, you must go back through!

^?Come on, already! Charge that sword of yours with that sacred force stuff Grannie was talkin' about, and zap the Gate of Time! I bet you Zelda's just on the other side of that gate, wonderin' where you are. You shouldn't make the little lady wait, [Link]! Go on!

^?I bet you Zelda's just on the other side of that gate, wondering where you are. You shouldn't make the little lady wait, [Link]! Go on!

^?So you've returned.

^?Then you know everything...

^?On the other side of that gate, Zelda waits, suspended in a sleep without end. But do not despair, for she is still alive and well.

^?True to legend, the Triforce is the one thing with the power to vanquish Demise. It is thought to have been hidden within Skyloft by the goddess. Sadly, that is all we know of where it rests. All other clues to its whereabouts have been lost to the ages.

^?[Link], you have likely come to the same conclusion, but I will spell it out just the same.

The key to finding the Triforce must be in Skyloft.

^?Go now, [Link]. Find the Triforce.

^?The clues to finding the Triforce are in Skyloft.

Go forth and find the Triforce.

^?Whoa! Whoa there! Hold up!

^?[Link], there's something I gotta tell you.

^?So, Zelda... How's she holding up? Was she OK when you saw her?

She's great!

Actually...

^?She was? Oh, good to hear.

...But she's still stuck there till this whole mess blows over, huh?

^?That's terrible. It's gotta be so hard for the poor girl.

But you're going to do something about this mess, right?

^?[Link]...I've made up my mind. I'm not going back.

I'm staying right here with Grannie.

^?Aww, don't look so bummed out. Do I look sad? Nah, I'm doing what I want to do!

I don't know how to explain it. I got this feeling in my belly that there's work to do here.

Someone's gotta watch that big, ugly monster, and someone's gotta make sure Grannie's doing all right.

It ain't as action packed as what you're doing, but maybe this is my destiny. Know what I mean?

^?Besides, it's not so bad here. Living up in the sky was OK, I guess, but don't you just love the way it smells down here? What? That's not weird to say!

^?Check it out.

^?Zelda and Grannie have brought life back to the land here.

I bet even the weakest sapling could grow into one beast of a tree in soil like this. It'd brighten this place up a little too. I mean, sure, it'd take a few years for it to grow, but as far as I'm concerned, I got nothing but time.

It's weird to say out loud, but that's just how I feel right now.

^?So...yeah...you know. When you get back to Skyloft, do me a favor and let people know I'm doing OK down here.

Cawlin and Strich might get a little emotional since they look up to me, but you tell them I'm happy, OK?

Thanks, [Link].

^?Don't let me down. I'm counting on you to help Zelda, [Link]!

Oh, by the way, I've been thinking about how nice it'd be to have a tree here, but I don't have a seedling or anything. You seen one I can plant?

^?It's great to finally get a sapling here and all, but it's going to take ages to get this thing to grow tall!

^?Oh yeah! Now this is a tree I could look at all day! It's like a symbol for this temple...or something!

Every time I stare at it, my jaw starts hanging open and I get this weird, happy feeling.

^?Hey, [Link], now that is a serious seedling. Why didn't you tell me you had that thing on you?

I'm no expert, but it seems like the perfect fit for this temple. If you plant it here, it'll grow for sure.

Only downside is, it's gonna take basically forever for a seedling that big to grow into a full tree.

^?You gotta chase after that creep, [Link]! Zelda's counting on you!

^?You seek the dragons? When the Song of the Hero is complete, the path to the Triforce shall be illuminated? Then take care and be on your way!

^?That terrible monster begins to stir yet again! It appears that even though Zelda has lent her power to strengthen it, the seal will soon reach its limit. So be it. You and Groose must work together to beat that foul beast back into its prison and restore the seal!

^?[Link], work with Groose to imprison that monster once more!

^?Searching after the three dragons, are you? I seem to recall a dragon who lived in the far reaches of the desert...

^?The beast has been sealed into its prison for a third time.

^?[Link], Groose... You have both done well.

But I fear we can't dwell on your success. The strength of the seal seems to wane with each escape.

We are almost out of time, [Link]. Are you close to discovering the Triforce?

Yes!

Actually...

^?...I see. You must seek out the three dragons and complete the Song of the Hero to find the Triforce.

It is right your search led you here. The Faron Woods are close by.

Unfortunately, there has been an unusual turn of events in the woods...

I am unsure of what happened, but a short while ago, I noticed the path to the woods was completely flooded.

^?To protect the land here, I closed the gate leading to the woods and drove back the water with a simple seal.

The seal will only hold as long as the gate remains closed, meaning you will not be able to open it without flooding these lands. Given this situation, I am at a loss as to how you can enter the woods.

^?Heh! Is that all? Consider the problem solved!

See, that last battle with big ugly got me thinking about other ways to use the Groosenator!

Just climb up into that bad boy, and I'll give you a "lift" over to the woods, all right?

^?I'll run ahead and get her prepped for you! Come see me when you're ready to take a little flight.

^?Oh my...

The boy has made himself very useful, but he does have a tendency to cause trouble for those he "helps"...

^?Safe journey. I wish you a soft landing, [Link].

^?Groose shall assist you in making your way to the woods.

Something may have happened to the Water Dragon of the woods. When you arrive, seek her out!

^?So that's what happened to the woods? I am glad to hear that everything has returned to normal.

^?You must continue to gather the parts of the Song of the Hero. Time is short!

^?Ah, [Link], I'm glad you are here. Groose has been waiting for you.

He stands outside by his catapult. Go speak with him.

^?Groose waits for you outside by his catapult. Go speak with him.

^?By the way, [Link], Groose is waiting for you.

He proudly stands outside by his catapult. Go speak with him.

^?When you have passed the final trial, you will finally be worthy to receive the power of the Triforce.

Hurry back to Skyloft. Whatever awaits you in the final trial, you must not fail!

^?Oh, [Link]! You've learned the parts of the song from the three dragons. There's not much time left!

Hurry! Return to the sky and complete the Song of the Hero.

^?The time has finally come.

Go now, [Link]. Seek out the Triforce in Skyloft!

^?For Zelda to be taken from us at a time like this... It is unthinkable!

[Link], listen to me! You must do whatever it takes to prevent the resurrection of Demise in the past!

Quickly now! Open the Gate of Time and return to the past!

^?[Link], listen to me! You must do whatever it takes to prevent the resurrection of Demise in the past!

Quickly now! Open the Gate of Time and return to the past!

^?No! So Demise has already been resurrected... If we do not stop him, this world is doomed.

^?I have no other words for you, [Link]. Know now that you are the sole hope for the survival of this land. The danger is overwhelming, but you must persevere. You must save our world!

^?Groose left the temple through the front door a few moments ago!

I imagine he's out by his catapult, like always.

^?...Tell me, [Link], have you attempted to play the harp that you received?

My sense is that you have not yet familiarized yourself with it.

Very well, I shall teach you how to play it. Listen well and do as I say.

First, press [d-pad up] to ready your harp, then press [A] to prepare to strum it.

^?Hold [A] and broadly swing the Wii Remote left and right.

^?Press [d-pad up] to take out your harp.

^?Slow your strums so that they match the swaying of my braid.

^?Play faster, so that your strums move in time with my braid.

^?Good. You learn fast.

Now for your next lesson.

^?Focus and play in time with the pulsing of the circle of light.

When your timing is right, I shall join my voice to your harp.

Listen well, for the song I sing will be of great help to you in your journey.

^?Swing the Wii Remote more slowly to stay in time with the circle of light.

^?Swing the Wii Remote a bit faster to stay in time with the circle of light.

^?Point the Wii Remote forward to ready the harp to play!

^?Close, but you must swing the Wii Remote more broadly!

^?...

^?Hard to leave the old girl all to herself here...

But don't you dare go telling Cawlin and Strich that I'm down here taking care of some little old lady!

^?Blah, this place is pretty barren. Considering how long she's been here, you'd think Grannie would've tried to decorate a little. I guess she likes the all-stone motif. At the very least she could've tried planting a tree or something to liven the place up.

^?Is this tree something or what?! No wonder it's called the Life Tree!

^?I do hope you are able to catch up with Zelda...

^?...

^?This temple used to be a place of great peace and solitude, but life has taken quite a turn lately.

Still, now is not the time for thoughts like these.

Not when my worst fears are coming to pass...

^?That red-haired fellow is really quite handy.

Some areas of the temple are badly in need of repair. Perhaps he can assist me in that work...

^?My analysis indicates this location is ideally suited to growing your seedling.

However, I project that planting the seedling in this time will make it take far too long for the seedling to grow into a tree capable of producing fruit.

502-CenterFieldBack.msbt

^?...At last. I've been expecting you, [Link].

You are doubtless overwhelmed, so I will explain things as simply as I can.

^?This is the Temple of Hylia, though it will come to be known as the Sealed Temple sometime in the future.

You stand in the past, ages before your own time. Here the goddess, Hylia, has only just sealed away Demise...

And little time has passed since the goddess sent the outcropping of rock into the sky that would one day become Skyloft.

^?It is true to its name. You have passed through the Gate of Time to an era in the distant past.

You will have many questions. But for now, you must proceed back through the great doors behind you.

^?It is there that the person you've risked life and blood to defend waits for you.

^?You stand in the past, ages before your place in time. Here, the goddess, Hylia, has only just sealed away Demise...

You will have many questions. But for now, you must proceed through the great doors at the back of the room.

It is there that the person you've risked life and blood to defend waits for you.

^?I see you've said good-bye.

Now you must keep the promise you made to her. You must find the Triforce.

Return to your time. There is work to be done there.

^?Do not fear for Zelda. I will watch over her here. Go now and fulfill your destiny.

^?...Hmm...

What's up?

See you later.

^?Oh, it's a matter of no great concern...

^?Hmm...

^?Do you see that sunny patch of earth over there?

I thought it might be nice to plant a tree of some sort there.

I imagine it would please Zelda greatly to see a great tree welcoming her back when she wakes from her slumber.

^?Sadly, it's a rare tree that grows strong for thousands of years on end. If only I could find the seedling of such a hearty specimen...

^?A tree that grows strong for thousands of years... If only I could find the seedling of such a tree...

^?Ah, you've planted a seedling!

I sense great vitality in this sprout. With any luck, it shall grow into a stout tree that will live on for millennia.

^?I sense great vitality in this sprout. With any luck, it shall grow into a stout tree that will live on for millennia.

^?You've yet to complete the great mission entrusted to you.

For Zelda, who still waits in everlasting slumber, you must fulfill the destiny that is only yours to complete.

^?Urgh... [Link]...? It's Ghirahim... He appeared out of thin air and got the drop on me.

Don't worry about me... You must chase after him!

^?He ran through the great doors at the front of the temple. You may yet catch him before it's too late. Hurry!

^?Ghirahim ran through the great doors at the front of the temple. If you hurry, you may yet stop him!

^?Do not panic. Zelda is fine. She rests in the back room of the temple.

I never expected Demise would rise again. It seems now that the fate of the world rests solely in your hands, [Link]!

^?Do not panic. Zelda is fine. She rests in the back room of the temple.

Focus on the battle at hand. Defeat Demise and save our world, [Link].

^?Phew! That was WAY too close back there. I got a serious sweat going!

Can you imagine what would've happened if I hadn't pulled off one of my famous Groose maneuvers to catch Zelda? I'll stay here and make sure she's protected, so don't worry about her one bit. Just get out there and clobber that Demise creep! I'm counting on you, [Link]! We all are!

^?You gotta get out there and whale on Demise until he cries like a creepy little baby!

I'm counting on you, [Link]! We all are!

^?Master [Link], I have important information for you.

Once you enter this portal, my analysis indicates a 0% chance that you will be able to return, unless you are able to vanquish your foe. Are you ready to proceed?

I'm ready!

Not yet...

^?Understood, Master. When you are ready to proceed, please return to this location.

^?Understood, Master [Link]. Know that even in the place that lies beyond this portal, I will be with you...

And, Master...good luck.

^?Master [Link], do you wish to retreat temporarily in order to resupply yourself for the final battle?

Yes!

I'm fine.

^?Understood, Master. Please return here when your preparations are complete.

^?Understood, Master.

^?Master [Link], have you finished with your preparations for the battle ahead?

All ready!

Not yet...

^?Yes, Master. Let us proceed to the battle at once.

^?Understood, Master. Return when you are fully prepared for the fight ahead.

^?You wretched brat!

503-Goron.msbt

^?Oh, hey, bud! We meet again! In a hurry as usual, eh?

Yup, I have been keeping busy too, checking out the wonders of the world.

Say, you want to hear about some of my research?

Sure!

Nah...

^?Oh, that is too bad. Well, if you ever get in a researchy kind of mood, you know where to find me.

^?OK, bud, prepare to be amazed! I made a huge discovery while I was out doing my field research.

So get a load of this... Apparently, there are walls and statues that respond to beautiful tones!

Wild, right? Want to know more?

Of course!

Nah...

^?It is sort of embarrassing to admit, but that is all I have figured out so far. But, hey, I just started my research!

If you find yourself still hankering to learn more, come back and talk to me again later!

Meanwhile, I will keep trying to dig up more information!

^?ALL RIGHT! That is the kind of archaeological enthusiasm I like to see!

Oh, but before we get into the fascinating details of walls and statues, there is something I had better ask you about, bud. You ever heard of a Blessed Butterfly?

I've seen one!

Nope.

^?Oh! Right, so a Blessed Butterfly is this kind of pretty, blue butterfly!

You may not believe it, but they are super hardy. They live in all kinds of places you would never expect.

Even in a land like this, you will see plenty of them!

^?All right, bud, then let me jump straight to the point.

^?Ancient tomes mention these butterflies flapping around in packs by certain walls and statues!

Seems like these butterflies have some kind of sixth sense. They are detecting, uh...something! Want to hear more?

Please!

Enough.

^?Which are you interested in?

Walls.

Statues.

^?The writings claim that the statues appear out of nowhere with a "boing-oing" sound and speak a strange language! Can you believe it, buddy? Talking statues! I know you want to hear more about this!

Tell me!

No, thanks.

^?From what I have learned, it sounds like these walls were left behind by the goddess for the hero mentioned in legends! The things the hero desires are said to spring forth from behind the walls. That is why they call them goddess walls, I suppose. Hungry to hear more?

Of course!

Sorry...

^?THAT IS THE SPIRIT! But sadly, that is as far as my research has gotten me.

As soon as I make any new discoveries, you will be the first to know!

^?I am hard at work investigating the locations of those talking statues now!

^?I am hard at work investigating the locations of those goddess walls now!

^?GREAT GORON?! I have found some!

^?Look! Those butterflies that respond to beautiful tones are swarming all over this place!

This has to be the right spot...

^?...Hrm.

^?Oh... This could be a problem. I cannot carry a tune.

I could not create beautiful tones if wild animals threatened to roll me down a hill! What can we do?

^?It is just like the old texts say, buddy! It appeared with a "boing-oing" and spoke in some strange tongue!

This is a major leap forward in my study of the talking statues!

Next up are those goddess walls! I have got an inkling I will not have to look very far for those, either. And I mean to find one, no matter what!

^?THAT IS IT! One of the talking statues the ancient texts spoke of! There is just no mistaking it!

^?THAT IS IT! One of the talking statues the ancient texts mention! There is no mistaking it!

^?You again, eh?!

Oh! You would probably want to know that I have seen Blessed Butterflies flying around here lately!

Too bad I have no musical talent whatsoever.

Yep, I could not make a beautiful tone to save my life.

^?I came across an ancient volume in the course of my research! Want to know what it had to say?

Of course!

Nah...

^?No need to be shy, now! I can see the excitement on your face, bud! Oh, all right, I will tell you!

^?Arrow in Repose... Ye who yearns to strike targets from afar, draw this shape so that it may be known.

^?Glimmering Hexagon... Ye who seeks great riches, draw this shape so that it may be known.

^?Life's Crimson Vessel... Ye who longs for the source of life, draw this shape so that it may be known.

Do so, and from the heavens shall fall a rain of life's essence.

^?Closed Circle... Ye who hungers for destructive force, draw this shape so that it may be known.

^?...The three... ...ngles... ...the Tri...ce... ...and...

^?...The three... ...ngles... ...the Tri...ce... ...and...

^?Well, that is what is written there! Does that mean anything to you?

^?...The text is too badly damaged to read at all beyond that point. What do you suppose it could say?

^?...The text is too badly damaged to read at all beyond that point. What do you suppose it could say?

^?WHOA! I think my heart stopped!

This is it! The discovery of a lifetime!

^?There is no mistaking it! This symbol must mark one of the goddess walls left for the hero by the goddess!

^?This answers all the mysteries from those ancient texts!

...At least, except for the mysteries that followed after that. Do you want to know what else was written in there?!

Absolutely!

I'll pass.

^?Over time, the power of the goddess walls is restored!

When that happens, I want you to try some different things in order to solve the final mystery!

^?No need to be stubborn, now. Just listen!

^?Over time, the power of the goddess walls is restored!

When that happens, I would like your help with my research again!

^?Over time, the power of the goddess walls is restored!

When that happens, I would like your help with my research again!

^?Today I would like to witness the magic of Rupees emerging from the wall. For my research, of course!

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

No need.

^?Today I would like to witness the magic of hearts emerging from the wall! How astonishing would that be?

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

No need.

^?Today, buddy, I would like to witness the magic of bombs emerging from the wall! For my research, of course!

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nah.

^?Today I would like to witness the magic of arrows emerging from the wall! For my research, of course.

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nah.

^?Today, buddy, I would like to witness the magic of Fairies emerging from the wall! For my research, of course!

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nah.

^?Really? Well then...I want to see it!

^?I want to see a bunch of Rupees pop out of the wall again!

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nope.

^?Great riches, eh? Do you suppose they...they really meant it?!

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nope.

^?I want to see the wall rain hearts down on you again!

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nope.

^?From the heavens shall fall a rain of life's essence...

What do you think that means, bud? Whatever it is, it sounds kind of... refreshing!

...By the way, want to see what was written in the text again, bud?

Please!

No, thanks.

^?Buddy, I have always said that an explosive is worth a pound of...uh, boom? Anyway, I want to see bombs come out of that wall today! ...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nope.

^?What kind of shape is a closed circle, anyway? Huh. I thought all of them were closed.

This is just a hunch, but...I think it might just be a regular old circle!

...By the way, want to see what was written in the text again, bud?

Please!

No, thanks.

^?Listen, buddy, I need to see some arrows come flying out of that wall!

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nope.

^?Strike targets from afar... You do not suppose that could mean THAT, do you, bud?

...By the way, want to see what was written in the text again, bud?

Please!

No, thanks.

^?I want to see more Fairies appear! Think you can do it again?

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

Nope.

^?Lost writings in an ancient text... What secrets could have been written there?

Layers upon layers of mysteries...

...By the way, would you like to review what was written in the text?

Please!

No, thanks.

^?SWEET MONEYBAGS!

So that is what it meant by great riches!

^?ASTONISHING!

So that is what the ancient writing meant by a crimson vessel!

^?HOLY GORON!

So this is what the lost part of the old text was explaining! Nice going, bud!

^?GREAT GORON!

Something I have never seen before just materialized out of that wall!

...That could not have been a... No, that is impossible! Forget it.

^?SWEET BOMBO-DONGO!

So that is what it meant by great destructive force!

^?SWEET GORON!

So that is what the ancient writing meant by striking targets from afar!

^?WHAZIT?!

That was not what I was expecting would appear. I better do a little more research!

^?WHOA NOW!

...Three piddly hearts? Hardly a rain from the heavens, now is it?

That was not what I was expecting would appear. I better do some more research!

^?BLESSED BUTTERFLIES! You are the best, bud! Thanks.

^?Let me give you a little token of my appreciation for assisting with my research!

^?Now I have seen everything that those ancient writings described!

I really owe you, bud, so let me give you this! Just my way of saying thanks.

^?For helping me out with my research, I would like to give you a little something!

^?The magical power of the goddess walls returns after a little time has passed, so come by and help me with my research again sometime, OK?

^?What is going on here?! This has never happened before!

^?AGAIN?! What in the world is going on?!

Still, even at times like these, research must go on!

^?AGAIN?! What is going on?!

Still, even at times like these, research must go on!

^?You are back?! A bunch of strange creatures came out down below! I have never seen anything like them!

Is there any way you could get rid of them like you did before?!

^?You are back?! A bunch of strange creatures came out down below! I have never seen anything like them!

Is there any way you could get rid of them like you did before?!

^?...Huh? Is there something different about your sword, or is it just me?

Either way, bud, you have got to get rid of those bad guys down there!

^?...Huh? Is there something different about your sword, or is it just me?

Either way, bud, you have got to get rid of those bad guys down there!

^?You know, bud, even at a time like this, I never stop thinking about my research!

^?You know, bud, even at a time like this, I never stop thinking about my research!

^?Oh, hey, bud! You would probably want to know that I have seen Blessed Butterflies flapping around here lately! Too bad I have absolutely no musical ability whatsoever.

I could not create beautiful tones to save my life!

^?This is the Windmill Propeller you were searching for.

It is now possible to retrieve this using the robot whose services we have enlisted.

Would you like me to call the robot?

Yes.

No.

^?Yes, Master. If you change your mind and wish to retrieve it, please examine it again.

^?I will send word to the robot using telepathic transmission, Master.

^?Mistress Fi! I hope you weren't waiting long, bzzzt!

So, zrrrbt, you want me to carry this?!

^?I'll be waiting for you up in the sky, so don't take too long, vrrrt!

^?Master, I suggest that we also return to the sky and collect the propeller as soon as possible.

^?Hey! Master Shortpants! You're in my way here, zrrpt! I said, get out of the way, vrrrrrt!

599-Demo.msbt

^?[Link]! HEEELP!

^?...Ugh, rough landing.

^?I think I mighta broke something. Hey, [Link], seriously... Didn't anyone ever teach you how to land without crash--

^?WHOA!

B-birds? TINY birds?! Wh-what... ARE they?!

^?And what is that thing?!

^?But...how... Wh-why... Wha-what...

Where am I?!

^?What's going on here? Ever since Zelda vanished, you've been zipping in and out of town all in a hurry!

So I figured I'd tail you, and you might lead me to Zelda.

^?But this is...so wild. Seriously, what IS that thing over there?!

^?And what's with all these trees? There are so many!

^?Just give it to me straight! I can take it. Where are we? Is Zelda here?

What's the deal with this place?! If there's supposed to be nothin' below the clouds, what's all this?

^?Uhhhh... Whoa... You're kind of imploding my mind right now... But I think I get what you're saying.

If I've got this right, Zelda is down here somewhere and she's...OK?

^?She's... She's OK. Oh, wow! That's so great! Duh huh huh...

^?Hearing that is such a...huge weight off my mind.

^?You know, [Link]... It's sort of all right down here.

^?This place needs a name. Yeah... A name fitting for this rugged, adventurous wilderness. From now on, we'll call it... Grooseland!

^?The harp you hold is known as the Goddess's Harp. It is a divine instrument of the goddess who once watched over this land.

^?The melodies it brings to life have the power to produce a variety of strange and otherworldly effects.

^?The great slab standing before you is known as a Gate of Time.

It is the last of its kind in existence... The only portal binding our world to the one where Zelda now resides.

^?If you manage to open the gate and pass through, you will likely end up in the same place as Zelda.

But you will need to endure many hardships and put yourself in great danger to awaken the gate from its dormant state. Though your journey will put you in harm's way, [Link]... You must endure. It is your fate as the chosen hero of the godde--

^?This shaking... I fear the seal has been broken.

I expected that it would react to your summoning the gate, but I never imagined the seal would break so quickly.

^?[Link], there will be time to explain later. Right now, you must hurry to the bottom of the pit outside.

^?Nice going, [Link].

^?Though the Imprisoned had only just begun to awaken and break its bonds, I'm impressed you were able to restore the seal keeping it captive. Unfortunately, you have only succeeded in buying us a little more time in which to act.

^?The behemoth you beat back into confinement is a horror of unspeakable power.

Judging by what I saw, I would not be surprised if the seal gave way again soon.

^?So you are left with precious little time to complete the task with which you have been entrusted.

Return to the Sealed Temple, [Link]. There is much to discuss.

^?...As you can see, the gate is nothing more than a slab of cold stone for now. It is sleeping.

Rousing it from its slumber would require great power.

Yes, I believe a shot of holy light from your Skyward Strike might just do it...

^?Ah, sorry to disappoint you, boy, but for now your sword lacks the power necessary to awaken the gate.

First, you and your sword must grow together.

^?Faron Woods...Eldin Volcano... and Lanayru Desert...

A sacred flame is hidden somewhere in each of these lands. Seek them out, and purify your sword in their heat.

Only after your blade has been tempered by these three fires will it be fully imbued with the great power for which you search.

^?Clues to finding the sacred flames have been woven into the lyrics of a song precious to your people, the Ballad of the Goddess. These clues are your best hope of finding your way to the flames.

Return to Skyloft. Somewhere on your island is one whose knowledge of this old song will point you in the right direction.

^?I hate even sayin' this, but I guess you got it all figured out, Grannie.

Me, well, there's nothin' I can do to help Zelda. I'm useless.

^?Ah. You sell yourself short, my friend. You'll see in time that you have your own role to play in all this.

^?[Link], go now. Trust in fate to guide your feet. Your mission depends on it...as does Zelda's fate.

^?Do not fear it. This is what we have waited for. At long last, the gate has been reactivated.

^?Standing before you is a path that transcends the flow of time. It is a portal to the past...to the very place where Zelda now waits.

^?Go bravely, [Link]. If everything is as I suspect, the reunion with Zelda you've fought so hard for lies beyond this gate.

^?Nah, don't worry about me. I'm gonna hang back here, [Link].

^?That stupid monster doesn't know when to quit, and Grannie here keeps yapping on and on about how we never know when it might bust free again.

^?Someone's gotta stick around and guard the place. Might as well be me.

^?Besides, if I'm not here, who's gonna look out for the old girl?

^?And you know what...

^?Naw, forget about it...

^?When you see Zelda, tell her I said "What's up?"

^?You've come so far, [Link]... I'm glad you made it.

^?I imagine Impa filled you in on everything. We've traveled very far from home...to the distant past.

In this era, the wounds inflicted on the land during the battle between the goddess and the demon king known as Demise have not yet healed. All the fairy tales about that war we heard growing up in Skyloft... Incredible as it may seem, they appear to be all too real.

^?I think it's time you learned the whole story. Let me try to explain...

^?The old gods created a supreme power that gave anyone who possessed it the ability to shape reality and fulfill any desire. They called it the Triforce. In his thirst to make the world his own, Demise readied a massive army of monsters for war. He sought to take the Triforce for himself by force. The goddess feared for her people. She used her power to send both them and the Triforce into the sky on a slice of earth she cut away from the land. This floating rock became the new home of our people. In time, it came to be known as Skyloft.

^?After a long and fierce battle, the goddess, Hylia, succeeded in sealing away Demise.

However, soon after the demon king was imprisoned, it became clear that the seal would not hold long against his fearsome power. Hylia had suffered grave injuries in her battle with the demon king. She knew that if he broke free again, there would be no stopping him.

^?And if the demon king were to free himself, it would mean the end of the world for all beings of this land.

In order to put an end to the demon king, Hylia devised two separate plans and set them both into motion.

^?First, she created Fi. She made the spirit that resides in your sword to serve a single purpose: to assist her chosen hero on his mission. Her second plan...was to abandon her divine form and transfer her soul to the body of a mortal.

^?...She made this sacrifice, as you have likely guessed, so that the supreme power created by the old gods could one day be used. For while the supreme power of the Triforce was created by gods, all of its power can never be wielded by one.

Knowing this power was her last and only hope, the goddess gave up her divine powers and her immortal form.

^?You've probably figured it out by now, haven't you, [Link]?

You are the chosen hero, and I, Zelda...

I am the goddess reborn as a mortal.

^?The day of the ceremony, Ghirahim's tornado tossed me out of the sky and down to the world below.

I was nearly captured by the demonic forces, but I was rescued at the last moment by the old woman who lives in the Sealed Grounds.

^?I had no memory at all of my existence as Hylia, but she explained it to me. She helped me to remember who I was...and what I had to do. I set out to pray at the goddess statues located in each temple across the land.

Each statue stirred up memories within me. After I visited them all, Impa, an agent of the goddess, led me here...to the past.

^?...All of this is part of the same great effort to prevent the revival of Demise.

^?Stripped of his true physical form by the seal that binds him, he takes the shape of an abomination.

But even in his hideous state, he's more than capable of devouring this land if we allow him to do what he desires.

^?We must stop him from freeing himself from the seal that imprisons him. At any cost...

That is why I intend to remain here in this time and place... To sustain the seal as best as I can.

As long as I continue this vigil, we may be able to prevent the demon king from fully reviving himself in our own time.

^?I must maintain the seal that Hylia-- rather, that I--created so long ago and keep it strong for as long as I am able.

With the memories of my former life returning to me, I can see now that this is my purpose.

^?[Link], the goddess created Fi and the great blade she's a part of for very specific reasons.

For the task of standing against Demise in the monstrous form he now assumes rests solely on your shoulders.

Back in our own time, you've already driven him back into his prison twice now. I can't thank you enough for that, [Link].

^?During your long journey, you've grown so much.

You learned wisdom from solving devious puzzles and traps. You gained power by honing and tempering both yourself and your sword. And by overcoming the trials set before you by the goddess, you've found true courage.

Now that those qualities reside in you, you are worthy of wielding the power the old gods left behind for our kind. You can claim the Triforce.

^?Valiant hero, you have endured many hardships and journeyed far in your quest to reach this place.

Along your travels you have found wisdom, power, and courage, and for this I shall bless your sword with the goddess's power. May it give you and your sword the strength to drive back the abomination that threatens this land!

^?The mark you see upon the back of your hand is proof that you are the hero of legend and that within you dwells sacred power. It is the mark of the Triforce.

Stand now, [Link]. Draw your sword.

^?The goddess has blessed your blade, and the Master Sword has at last achieved its ultimate form!

The sword is now imbued with the mythical power to drive back demons, and only [Link] may wield it!

^?[Link], before I say another word, I feel like I owe you an apology.

You see, the mark of the Triforce on your hand is a symbol of the greatest power in this world.

^?If you can obtain the actual Triforce, we will have the power to vanquish Demise once and for all.

The problem is, among the countless souls in this world, only a select few-- those with an unbreakable spirit-- can wield its might.

^?It's impossible to know the true reason why the old gods created the Triforce. But I have a theory of my own.

The gods created the Triforce, yet they specifically designed it so that their own kind could never use its power.

Somehow, I think that may have been their way of giving hope to all the mortal beings of the land.

...Which brings us back to you.

To face Demise and give the land hope, the goddess, Hylia, needed someone with an unbreakable spirit. That someone is you, [Link].

^?But spirit alone wasn't enough. You had to overcome many trials and awaken the hero within yourself so that you could wield that supreme power. And so Hylia... I mean, and so I...

I knew that if it meant saving Zelda, you would throw yourself headfirst into any danger, without even a moment's doubt... I... I used you.

^?I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am for pulling you into all of this, [Link].

But you have to understand this is a war, and the fate of the land hangs in the balance. I need your strength to tip the scales in our favor...

^?All that may be well intentioned and true, but it doesn't mean it's right... and it doesn't excuse my actions.

But I'm prepared to pay the price for what I've done.

^?To ensure that the seal holds, I will remain here in this time...deep in sleep for thousands of years.

^?[Link]...I can't say it enough. I'm so sorry for the way I had to involve you in this.

But until my memory of things before our lifetime returned to me, I had no idea we were fated to carry such a heavy destiny. Before all this, I was happy just spending my days hanging around with you in Skyloft. I wanted that feeling to last forever.

^?While it's true that I am Hylia reborn, I'm still my father's daughter and your friend...

I'm still your Zelda.

^?When Demise is finally gone, there will be no more need for the seal that binds him, and then I'll be able to wake up.

So I'm going to ask you a favor, sleepyhead. Ever since we were kids, I'd always be the one to wake you up when you slept in. But this time, when all of this is over, will you come to wake me up?

I promise.

I will.

Of course!

^?Master [Link], I have news. I have confirmed that the Isle of the Goddess, which was formerly a part of Skyloft, has returned to the surface.

^?Furthermore, I have detected the successful eradication of Demise. Your prayers to the Triforce have been heard.

^?In light of these factors, the seal Zelda maintained through her agelong sleep is no longer necessary. My projections indicate she will wake momentarily.

^?I advise you to make your way to the Sealed Temple as soon as possible.

^?Good morning...[Link]...

^?This is all very touching, really, but I'm afraid I have to cut this emotional moment short.

^?It's best for everyone if you forget about your friend. The little goddess is mine now!

^?My master may have perished in this age, but in the past he lives yet! I'm taking the girl back through that gate to help me revive the demon king!

^?You've been so adorably dogged in your quest to get in my way, and as much as it has delighted me, I can no longer tolerate you nipping at my heels.

^?...[Link]...

^?...Stand down. You're in my way, and the sight of your appalling hair makes my gorge rise.

^?You've done a fine job of spoiling my plans to revive the demon king in this age, so I see no point in dawdling here.

^?But the past...oh, the past... So full of possibilities. I shall resurrect him there with the divine soul of this golden-haired girl!

^?...You know, boy, you've really pushed me too far. The moment I sweated and bled for is at hand.

I don't even have the time to grind my heel into a worm like you. Not now.

^?Hear me, my hordes! The spell is nearly complete! The demon king returns! Until then, you WILL keep that whelp from interfering with my ritual.

^?I don't care if the whole lot of you get lodged on the end of his blade. You will buy me the time I need! Do not fear him... Fear my wrath if you fail me!

^?You're far too quick, boy!

^?I realize a simple child like you knows nothing of magic, but spells like this take time and a steady hand! Can't you wait quietly like a good boy? HMM? You petulant brat... You've pushed me too far. I've waited my whole existence for this! This is my moment!

^?You know what? Fine! If you're so intent on hurrying to your grave, I'll be happy to show you the way!

^?This time there will be no heroic escape. I was a fool to toy with you and let you walk away with your life before, but I won't make that mistake again.

^?That, I promise!

^?If only I'd put you in your place from the very beginning. Show a human a little mercy and next thing you know, he thinks himself your equal! Given my station, I had to maintain some semblance of dignity, so I let you run with your life... Twice, even. Such a guilty pleasure... But instead of scurrying away like any creature with a basic instinct to survive, you just kept coming back. Again...and again...and again.

^?I've let a mere boy make a fool of me for the last time. You stand before a demon...or should I say, a weapon without mercy!

^?For you, boy, I've prepared a most appropriate and humiliating death. I even have a pet name for it--I call it the endless plunge! First, I will take my time bludgeoning you, and when I grow bored of it, I will drive you to the edge and deliver a last strike to send you falling to your doom! I'll delight in casting your body into this pit and snuffing out the flame of your life! Your broken body will serve as fine sustenance for the demon king!

^?This... This is preposterous. Driven to my knees by a simple child of man. Laughable!

No matter how many times we clash, I can't prevail! You think I can't defeat you? You think I can't win??

Boy...what are you?

^?Ah... But never mind that. Victory is still mine to savor. While we fought, the ritual I started continued...

At last, it's complete! The demon king shall devour the soul of the goddess and resurrect in his full glory!

^?Don't you see? It's all over! You and your kind have lost! This world and everything in it now belong to darkness! They belong to my master!

^?Welcome back to us, Master.

^?...So you are the chosen knight of the goddess.

^?Intriguing...

^?The goddess lowered herself to a mortal existence to keep me imprisoned.

How pathetic. This bag of flesh pales in comparison to the magnificence of her previous form.

^?Don't worry, [Link]! Groose has got this!

^?[Link], I... I caught her! She's OK!

^?Hmm... So you and that other human would stand before obliteration to aid the goddess, would you?

^?How curious... The humans I've known were weak things. Hardly more than insects, shivering under rocks and ready to flee at a mere glimpse of me.

^?When last I walked this world, they did little more than scream and cling to their goddess, mewling and praying... Counting on her to protect them. How amusing to think those cowards begot someone like you.

^?You grow more fascinating by the second, human. I never imagined I'd meet one of your kind who wished to stand against me in battle.

^?Very well, then. I shall prepare a place for us where we will not be bothered by distractions. If you still have the courage to face me, seek me there.

^?[Link], it's all on you! Oh, and listen up! Grannie had some info for you!

^?The old girl says it'll take time for that grease wad to absorb Zelda's soul completely!

^?If you can take him down before her soul gets all sucked up into that... thing, you might still have a chance!

^?I...I know you can do it!

^?So...yeah! You've gotta do this! You're all Zelda's got! You've got to make this happen!

^?If you fear for your life, do not follow me. You can spend what little time your world has left cowering and crying, as befits your kind. But if you truly desire to raise your blade against the world I would build, come for me.

I've waited eons to return. I can spare a few more moments to let you decide.

^?It's up to you now, [Link]...

^?Ah, so you've decided to meet your end in battle after all. It pleases me greatly to see such misplaced valor, human.

^?Take a moment to appreciate your surroundings, for where we stand shall serve as your tomb for eternity.

^?The hate for the gods that has boiled in my veins...

^?You will taste all of it in the bite of my blade.

^?The only question left is how long you will manage to remain standing before I take your life. Try to keep it interesting for me, would you?

^?And when you do fall, know that your world and everything in it is mine to dominate... Mine to subjugate... Mine to rule!

^?When I finish with you, you can take solace in knowing your friends and kin will soon follow, as I wipe all who oppose me from the face of this world!

^?...It won't be long now. At last, the almighty power I've sought for millennia...

^?I will take the Triforce for my own...

^?And the world shall be under my foot for eternity!

^?Extraordinary. You stand as a paragon of your kind, human.

You fight like no man or demon I have ever known. Though this is not the end.

My hate...never perishes. It is born anew in a cycle with no end!

I will rise again!

^?Those like you... Those who share the blood of the goddess and the spirit of the hero... They are eternally bound to this curse. An incarnation of my hatred shall ever follow your kind, dooming them to wander a blood-soaked sea of darkness for all time!

^?I have confirmed the eradication of the demon king.

His residual consciousness has been absorbed into the Master Sword... and is now sealed away.

^?You have done well, [Link].

^?[Link]... Thank you. I think it's over... Finally...it's all over.

^?Nice going, you two. You guys were totally amazing in this little adventure I like to call the Legend of Groose.

^?...That's a little joke.

^?Joke or not, your contributions to our efforts were heroic. You have my thanks.

^?Aww, well, you know... Just glad I could make myself useful. I'm happy things turned out OK.

^?Hey, so things look pretty sewn up here. What do you say, guys? Ready to head back to our own time?

^?Grannie was really worried about you two. We don't want to keep the old girl in suspense too long.

^?Hylia, Your Grace... Or perhaps you prefer "Zelda." It pleases me to know you are safe.

...Master, I must speak with you.

^?Master [Link], you have successfully protected the goddess reborn and defeated Demise, fulfilling your role as the hero of legend. My purpose here is complete.

Therefore, I ask you to dissolve our arrangement as master and servant.

^?Drive the sword into the pedestal before you, and I will return to the sword to enter a sleep without end.

^?Master, you have achieved the purpose you were chosen to fulfill. Please, set the sword in the pedestal and bring the goddess's mission to an end.

^?Now, Master. It is time to conclude our necessary companionship.

^?[Link]...

^?[Link], hear me. My purpose was to obey the command of the goddess and lead you, the chosen hero of this land, on your quest. When I first awoke and began this task, I perceived it as merely serving my function as a servant to Her Grace.

However, I have come to consider the information corresponding to our time together among the most precious data I have on record.

^?I do not have the capability to fully understand the human spirit, [Link]...

But now, at the end of my journey with you, as I prepare to sleep within the Master Sword forever, I experience a feeling I am unable to identify. I lack sufficient data to be sure of my conclusion, but I believe this feeling correlates closest to what your people call...happiness.

^?Our partnership is at an end, and even as we speak, I feel my consciousness fading away.

Before I enter the sleep that calls me to the sword, I wish to relay to you words that I recorded many times over the course of our journey. Many have said them to you thus far, but I now wish to say them for myself...

^?Thank you, Master [Link]. May we meet again in another life...

^?What? Impa, why? Come with us!

^?Zelda, Your Grace, you possess the memories of the goddess. You must understand why that is not possible.

I am a being of this age. My place is here.

^?I... I know that, but...

^?You must return to your own time. I will take care of the gate once you have passed through.

^?I...can't do that. You and I have been through so much together. I don't want to leave you alone.

^?Please, Impa. Come back with us.

^?Zelda, at the command of the goddess, I passed through the Gate of Time. I did so to protect you and aid the fight to prevent the world's destruction. The last remnants of Demise are decaying slowly within the sword. Someone must stay behind to watch over this blade. His spirit must not reawaken. He must never be allowed to threaten the world again.

^?This is the nature of the task given to my tribe.

As a member of the Sheikah, the goddess's chosen guardians, I gladly welcome this duty.

^?Zelda, I shall watch over the Triforce.

Its power is too great to leave in the grasp of man. Dependence on its might is an invitation to disaster.

When it has served its purpose, it must be secreted away to lie dormant once again...the knowledge of its existence hidden from mortal history. These are the words the goddess spoke to me long ago. I remember them well. As do you, I'm sure.

^?Do not despair, Zelda. You and I will surely meet again someday.

^?...See? I told you we'd meet again.

^?Impa... Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

^?Look around us! As a child, I always dreamed of a world below. I wanted to see the surface with my own eyes and feel the land's warm breeze on my skin. I... I think I want to live here. I always want to feel solid ground beneath my feet, see the clouds above my head, and watch over the Triforce.

^?What about you, [Link]? What will you do now?
