Link sat silently and polished his Master Sword with an old worn rag. He smiled as the sword gleamed in the sunlight.
"What do you have there?" asked Daruk as he hobbled over to Link. He gave his young friend a hearty smile and sat down next to him. Link showed him his sword. "Ah… you did a fine job, little guy. I should know. Gorons love a trusty weapon that's been spruced up to perfection. You should be proud of yourself."
Link smiled and then thought about the princess. He wished he could be strong enough to protect her in the future. Unfortunately, he messed up big time the week before, ruining her royal dinner party and making a complete fool out of himself to both Zelda and her father. He frowned at the idea that she had not spoken to him since.
"Hey, don't let the negative stuff getcha down, sport," said Daruk as he patted his friend on the back with his massive hand. "You are who you are! The princess knows that."
Link looked down at his sword and then up to Daruk. He then stood up, sheathed his blade, and sighed.
Daruk crossed his arms. "No use crying over spilt Lon Lon," he said with a toothy grin.
"Yeah, but there is still one problem…" said a voice from above. It was the Rito champion Revali. He swooped down in front of Link and gave him a snide gaze.
"What's the problem, Revali?" Daruk asked, scratching the back of his head.
"Dis boy ain't got dat salsa in da cheekums!" Revali squealed. He then kicked Link off a cliff.
Link wailed as the wind tore past his face. He was falling at high speeds to the dirt road below. Link landed in front of a passerby and his donkey companion, breaking every bone in his body. The passerby was shocked out of his wits, to say the least.
Link grunted and collapsed as the ragdoll physics took over and an ornamental "Game Over" appeared above his head as the whole world darkened.
Revali flew down to Link and pecked at his head. He then started doing the Mario upon the fallen Hylian like the total jerk he was known to be. "Hah! Should've saved sooner, huh, flyboy?" The birdbrain cackled as he pulled out a guitar and played a sick riff to acquaint his overflowing superiority.
