After a day of intense ride, Link and Epona finally reach Termina, specifically the Town Clock, the center city of Termina and soon found the engineer who had called Link to work. -Hello, I arrived here, at the scheduled time with the mare, as promised. -Yes, you arrived. Well, your job is simple. You have to carry the materials arriving at the city gate and also raise them when needed. The cables and hooks are in the background. You will receive your 700 Rupees at the end of the day. -Wait, 700? I'm sure the deal was in 1000! -Well, I can increase to 750... –No way, the combined is 1000! -800 And end of story. –Hunf, since I'm right here ... Okay, 800. -Great. In fact, it's good to start now; I see the first shipment just arrived...
In the end of the day...
-Good Link, here are yours deserved 700 Rupees. -800! -Excuse me, 800. Well, the Milk Bar should already be open at that time. Why do not you go to relax and spend a little of your earned Rupees? -Good idea...
A little later, the Milk Bar...
-What will want today Link, the usual? -The usual, please. -Hey kid, you look tough. Want to earn good money? -What do you want, old man? -Oh, well, my name is Saharalasha, and I come from a long line of Hyrule Sages. We have studied all the history of Hyrule, and also the present. Heard the latest news? -No, please, tell me, great sage! -I see that you are a bit skeptical, so I do not know if you will believe some of the things that I will tell. A few months ago, hideous creatures began to emerge from the depths, as well as other existing had a growth spurt and became more wild, forcing the King to put his army to control the creatures. Now you know why so many soldiers walking across Hyrule. Then, many of these creatures are described in the books written by my ancestors, and are told that they are servants of Ganondorf Dragmire, the Scourge of Hyrule, the Prince of Darkness. -Ganondorf? That is not who they say have brought trouble to Hyrule several times when he was stopped by the... –Hero of Time. In addition, the Princess Zelda, with its mysterious bodyguard and commander of the Royal Army, Impa, one Sheikah, are looking for him. However, it is a difficult task, since it is not known exactly how he is. In fact, The King offers a good reward for good clues of him. And that's where we come in. I know the best oracles of all Hyrule, Din, Nayru and Farore, and yes, they have their names from the goddesses. They certainly can provide excellent tips and predictions about it. The problem is that they are in an isolated place, and it is usually very difficult to get there, imagine with all these monsters walking around. Well, then, with your strength and your sword you can clear the way for us, cannot you? Well, think of my proposal. If accepted, go to the entrance of Dark Woods, I will be waiting there. Well, I'll let you enjoy the rest of the night. Good night, and think about it. So the wise Saharalasha leaves the Milk Bar, leaving Link alone with his thoughts...
The other day, in the room of Princess Zelda...
Wake up, Sleeping Beauty; the last night was too much for you? -Ughhhhh, Let me alone Impa, you know very well how it were ... I do not really want to go after this "Hero of Time", even if he exists ... I think we should just go to the Gerudos tribe and end this once and for all! 'You know very well that's not the way it works, Zelda... What happened to the "Princess of Diplomacy"? -In cases like this, try diplomacy is to play like idiots, Impa. Prevention is better than cure. If we find those who responsible for trying to bring Ganondorf back to life and we prevent from doing that, we will end any chance of his return and finish it before it even starts. -Zelda, we cannot do this without begin a war with Gerudos. That is what you want; start a war with the kingdom is already sunk into trouble? Not to mention the damage it would cause to your reputation! -Yes, of course! Impa, how Sheikah still exist, taking you? -Not many, as far as I know, my village only have 16 people. -And two girls are in their training as apprentices with you, right? Yes, one is in a very advanced stage. -And what is her name? –It is confidential even to you for her own safety, but she is called by the code name "Sheik". -Great, I will disguise myself as her and go with you to do the necessary without compromising my picture and do what is necessary. -You still insists on it? But I have to admit that this idea was very clever. Well, get up, even if you do not want to look for "Hero of Time", are his father's orders, and we have to fulfill them. -Dammit...
Meanwhile, near the Romani Ranch, Link is close to delivering Epona back to the Ranch, but he thinks of something ... -Well, I am relatively close to the Ranch, but I also know that I am soon going to cross a road that leads directly to Dark Woods. Then I can go to there… No, I made a promise to Cremia and I have to fulfill it! Oh, she always forgives me and is the fastest way to get there. So, Link turns and follows the way to Dark Woods ... Arriving there, he sees at the entrance the Wise Saharalasha waiting for him. -How did you get here so fast? I went into here all night! -I have my ways. Then, you ready? -But, how about Epona? I know that this area is full of thieves. -Do not worry. Just attach her to a tree that I will throw a spell over her, causing her to be imperceptible to the eyes and their ears. Okay ... Okay. Now we can go. Then Link and the wise Saharalasha step into Dark Woods, hoping to pass alive.
