The three agents found a town populated with many odd-dressed citizens. No matter what they did, they couldn't get anyone on the streets to stop and tell them where they were. Finally, they found an Inn and walked up to the bartender.
"Can you tell us where we are?" Asked Frank.
"Well, Castle Town, of course!" Said the bartender, who continued to clean a glass mug without looking up.
"Can you tell me what country we are in?"
"Well, you must be from far away! This is Hyrule, lad!"
The agents stood there, doing his best to try and remember where in the world a country named Hyrule was. That is, unitl Ian interrupted them.
"Hey, I need to speak to you guys." He asked Frank and Chris. They walked over to a table and sat down.
"I think I remember what Hyrule is." Said Ian, "My kids play video games that had this 'Hyrule' in them. Call me crazy, but I don't think we are on Earth. Have you noticed everyone's pointed ears?"
Frank and Chris looked around, and sure enough, everyone but them had pointed ears.
"How did this happen?" Frank demanded.
"I'm not certain, but perhaps it had something to do with that crazy old man we were sent to investigate before this all started? That was the last time I recall seeing Earth." Ian said.
"That definably would explain our GPS problem..." Frank scratched his chin. "But transported into a video game? I doubt it."
"Didn't you see all the machinery that old man had in that building? It could have been anything!" Ian said.
"Fine." Frank said, rubbing his forehead, "but how do you suppose we get back?"
"We have to wait for someone on the other side to come for us." Ian said. "We are stuck here, gentlemen."

After Spencer and Andima's watch, It was Link's. The night was peacefully quiet for the most part, until about an hour into his watch. He heard Bokoblin chatter to the south, and stared hard into the woods. His eyes spotted three Bokoblins armed with swords trying to circle the camp. Link ran over to the tents and woke Spencer, Andima, and Midna.
"Get prepared for a fight," Link whispered, "we got three bokoblins circling us. There might be more."
Spencer grabbed his sheath and attached it onto his belt, then drew his sword. The moonlight glinted off the steel blade. Midna and Andima put on their Fused-Shadows and followed.
They head out into the woods, looking for the creatures hunting them.
Spencer and Andima split from the rest of the group, heading east. Spencer heard a Bokoblin charging at him from the side and looked, he ducked just in time to not have his head cleaved off. He jumped to the side and thrust his sword at the Bokoblin's side. The Bokoblin blocked it with a rough wooden shield. Spencer reached for his, but only felt air, because he hadn't thought of bringing it.
'Idiot!' He thought. He heard another Bokoblin running up behind him and jumped to the side in the last second so the thrust that was meant for him impaled the Bokoblin's partner instead. He watched as the Bokoblin ruthlessly kicked his late companion's body off his sword.
Spencer jumped back to avoid a horizontal slice that would have separated him in two. He then jumped to the left, then rolled behind his enemy before jumping up and beheading him.
"I've always wanted to do that." He said to Andima.
--
Link and Midna were chasing the third Bokoblin through the woods, once it saw them it had decided to run off. Link wasn't about to let it get the rest of it's tribe's help.
Link ran as fast as he could, jumping over roots and dodging around trees. Slowly, but surely he was catching up on the Bokoblin. 'Spencer wasn't kidding when he said these buggers are fast! he thought. Link came skidding to a halt when he found he was too late.
They had arrived at the Bokoblin camp.
Link knew even he couldn't handle fifty bokoblins on his own, so he tuned and ran as fast he could. Not much later he heard the cries of the Bokoblins behind him. He ran back to camp to see Spencer and Andima waiting for him. Midna emerged from Link's shadow.
"Start running!" She and Link yelled. Spencer and Andima asked no questions and Andima hid in Spencer's shadow as he started his run north. Link and Spencer ran as fast as they could north, while Midna and Andima hid in their shadows. They kept running as fast as they could, adrenaline powering their legs.
"We can't out run these guys! We have to do something!" Spencer yelled, still running. "What do you have in mind?" Link yelled back. "We either need to lose them or fight them, and I don't think you want to fight them!" Spencer called back. "We've already tried losing them! We are going to have to fight them or die trying!"
"I think you're forgetting something!" Andima called out from Spencer's shadow. "Don't you remember how we lost them last time?"
"Of course! Why didn't I think of it before!" Spencer exclaimed, "Link, stop! I need Midna to come out of your shadow!"
Spencer and Link came skidding to a halt as Andima and Midna came out of their shadows. "I haven't done this before!" Midna complained. "Just grab Link's arm and go into a trees shadows or something!" Andima explained. All four adventurers turned into shadows as the Bokoblin tribe stampeded by.
After the sounds of the Bokoblins died down Midna and Andima came out of the tree's shadows, along with Spencer and Link. They stood there, watching the Bokoblins run off. Link noticed Midna was struggling to stay awake.
"Midna, are you alright?" He said. "I'm.. ok.." He caught her as she toppled forwards. "I was afraid that would happen." Andima said, letting out a yawn. "Turning another bring into a shadow takes a lot out of you. It worse if you haven't done it before."
"What are we going to do for a camp?" Spencer asked. "Those Bokoblins trampled our camp."
"I guess we sleep on the grass." Link said, laying Midna down on the grass. "Besides, that run took a lot of time off or Journey. If I'm right, we should arrive in Ordon the day after tomorrow."
"Oh boy, Two night of sleeping of the ground." Spencer sighed. "At least we'll sleeping indoors after that." Link and Andima lay down to sleep on the grass while Spencer took last watch. It didn't take much, after the long run, or turning Spencer into a shadow, in Andima's case, both were very exhausted.

In a few hours, they were walking north once again.
"What do you think the villagers will say when their long lost hero returns with two imps and a oddly dressed fellow?" Asked Spencer.
Link chuckled. "I'm not sure." He said. What Link wasn't looking forward to was explaining why he ran off without warning five years ago. First of all, he would have to apologize to Ilia. Ilia. He hated the thought of breaking her heart when she found out he loved Midna. The truth is, Link and Ilia's love was a one-way relationship. Ilia obviously had feelings for Link, and Link might have had feelings for her if it wasn't for the whole Twilight crisis that brought him and Midna together. Link still thought of Ilia as his child-hood friend, nothing more.
As if he had read his mind, Spencer said: "Don't worry about Ilia. If she really is a friend, she will understand."
"I know, I just hate to let others down." Link said.
"You don't... regret me coming into your life, do you?" Midna asked Link.
"No! Not at all! I just hate to make others feel bad." Link said.
"I wonder what my family thinks happened to me. They probably think I'm dead." Spencer thought out loud. "I wish there was a way I could tell them I'm alive and well."
"Maybe there is," Andima suggested, "Can't you use that machine you used to get us here?"
Spencer pulled it out and looked at it. He sighed. "It's almost completely rusted, I doubt it would work. If Loomis finds me again and brings me back to my world, maybe I could fix it there, and make it more durable. But if I'm right, he destroyed the machine when he tried to stop me coming back." He said.
"Why do you think that?" Andima asked.
"Well, for one, he hasn't shown up again." Spencer said, "Also, I thought I heard him shooting at it right before I teleported. It would explain me being set on fire."
"Well, I guess that's just how things work out." Midna said. "They've probably even had your funeral already."
Spencer thought of his family and friends dresses in black, looking at an empty coffin. "Makes me wonder that they would say if I knocked on my parent's front door." Spencer looked at Andima, "You with me, no less."
She smiled at the thought of meeting Spencer's parents. She imagined them either fainting or snapping on the spot. "It would be awkward." She said.
The group laughed, walking onwards to their destination.
