Kakariko Village
"Bye Renado," Talo sniffed. "Thanks for everything."
Then, to everyone's shock, he started to cry.
"What's the matter with you, Talo?" asked Beth menacingly. "Cut that out!"
"But," he protested, wiping away a few tears, "I may never see you guys again! Everyone's been so nice to us, and now we have to leave them…"
"What are you talking about?" Malo interjected calmly. "I have two stores to run, and I plan to start even more across the country. Of course we'll see them again."
"R-really?"
"Yes. I have to do regular checkups on my shops, and you can come along when I do that."
Talo straightened. "Yeah…that sounds great!" he turned back to Renado. "See you soon, then!"
The man chuckled. "We'll be waiting."
"Goodbye, Talo," said Luda patiently.
"Hurry up!" yelled Beth from the wagon. "Don't you want to see Ordon again?"
"I'm coming!" he shouted back. Then he ran to the wagon and leaped in. Ilia, Colin, and the rest of the children piled in with him, eager to see their home once more.
Later that day, Renado received an invitiation.
"COME TO THE BIGGEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER!" proclaimed the Gorons' bulky, loud handwriting. "IT WILL BE THE BEST THING EVER! COME CELEBRATE!"
"I guess we really are on good terms with them," said Renado to Luda over their dinner. "And it has been quiet since the kids left…"
After they finished eating, they trekked up the mountain. They reached the ring and sat down next to Barnes.
"I don't know what all these guys want," he scowled. "I could be making bombs right now, but instead I have to go to this stupid…"
"Just watch for a while," said Renado. "It's a great honor to be here."
"Yeah right." But after a few hours…
"Hit him to the left! The left! No-yeah! There you go! Now smack him! Hit him outta the ring! Outta the- NOO! Get up! Get back up! Listen to me! There you go! Hahaha!"
"Barnes, I'm going to take Luda home," said Renado.
"Sure, whatever, don't distract them- OH! LOOK AT THAT! LOOK AT THAT! NICE!" Another match had been won.
Renado chuckled for a bit, then led his daughter back down the mountain.
"PARTY AT TELMA'S!" shouted the Royal Guards, all rejoicing in "their" success in restoring peace to Hyrule. Everyone knew better, but didn't feel like pointing it out to them.
They raised their fists and sang slurred versions of the Anthem of Hyrule while parading through the streets with banners and spears. They laughed when they heard the entire town laughing, mistaking their mockery for celebration as well. Again, no one felt inclined to point this out to the guards. Why ruin something so entertaining?
