And the bucket fell, unfailingly as always, and spilled muck and worms and seashells and life from on top of the door (down onto Link's head, of course). He never knew exactly who kept doing these things, or why he kept opening trap doors.
Peach offers an explanation: "You must have done something to make someone mad."
Link thinks, and he thinks, and thinks, and thinks some more to no avail. So he makes himself a sandwich. He eats it. And it's pretty good if he does say so himself. But it doesn't really help him.
"Maybe you should take a shower," Zelda suggests under the guise of trying to help him (Peach had filled her in, of course, on his confusion), but really it's because he's still drenched in muck and worms and seashells and life. She doesn't really like those things, and so she promptly sends him off.
He goes.

"My luck will change some day," Link states optimistically as he turns the dial to scalding and receives freezing water in return. He doesn't notice.
There is someone else in the shower area, though, who would like to disagree. "Oh, will it? When you find the gold pot at the end of the rainbow, maybe?"
He shakes his head and doesn't know why his other self has to be so disagreeable all the time. "How can you be such a pessimist all the time, Toony?" he asks (using a nickname his fellow Brawlers came up with since there cannot be two Links).
The younger, other Link doesn't really respond, and he figures he left.
-
A note on his pillow: "Will you go by a nickname instead? My name is Link, too, you know."
And his response: "No."
-
He never asks for her predictions, but she gives them anyway:
"I see more buckets, muck, worms, seashells, and life in your future," Zelda divines, her tone cautious and warning.
Shrugging Link replies, optimistic as always, "It has to stop /some/ time." He opens the door to get to the kitchen -
- and it doesn't.
-
"You know, I think everyone should call /me/ Link and the bigger one something else," the little hero suggests to everyone else. "I'm the /real/ hero, after all."
"What would we call the other Link, then?" Olimar asks.
"Dumbass."
Zelda shrugs. "Works for me."
-
"Yo, Dumbass, what's up?"
A bucket.
