After Eddy and Link exited the Great Fairy's Fountain, the four boys and Navi were now walking down the path until they got to the Bazaar.

"So, what happened in there?" Edd asked. "I could've sworn that I heard you screaming Eddy."

"Bottom line, Eddy's got some new power." Link summed up.

"Watch this!" Eddy whispered as he held his hand up and concentrated, summoning a pea sized ball of flame in his hand.

"Eddy can make tiny fireballs." Navi explained, making Edd stare and Ed gasp in awe.

"That is so cool!" Ed said in a giddy voice.

"My word!" was all Edd could say.

"I know, right?" Eddy asked before clenching his hand, snuffing out the fire. "Wish I could do more though."

"Remember the Great Fairy's words," Navi told him as she floated in front of his face. "You have to train yourself on how to use it, or you won't get stronger."

"Oh...yeah," Eddy groaned before shrugging his shoulders. "Still, bigger than Ed's brain."

"Can you blow flames like a circus performer? OH! CAN YOU LIGHT BIRTHDAY CANDLES WITH IT EDDY?!" Ed yelled with a grin.

"Can we find the last Spiritual Stone?" Navi asked in annoyance. "We're wasting time standing around and talking!"

"She's right. We have much to do," Edd stated as he wrote in his notebook. "The Spiritual Stone of Water, the Golden Skulltulas, and so much more."

"Then let's leave town and head down the river like Princess Zelda explained." Link said, earning a nod from the others before they all walked out of Hyrule Castle Town. The four of them walked past the drawbridge before turning left and following the river upstream before coming to a large group of boulders blocking their path.

"Do we bomb it, or have Ed run through?" Link chuckled.

"I prefer to bomb the boulders. I'd rather we waste them than risk Ed cracking his skull." Edd stated.

"Are you serious?" Eddy asked. "After all the time and stuff he's rammed his head into?"

"Let's do both!" Ed suggested as he reached into the bomb bag, pulled out a bomb, and held it to his head before running full speed at the boulders.

"ED! WAIT A-" Edd yelled before he and the others were knocked back by the blast. They got up to see the smoke cloud disperse, revealing a smoked and laughing Ed standing there.

"Path's clear!" Ed said triumphantly, causing Eddy to fall over laughing while the others just shook their head.

"We can see that Ed." Edd mumbled as they all joined him before they walked on, stopping when they came to an iron fence, with a man eating away at some beans from a bag.

"Hi Mister." Ed greeted with a wave.

"Hey," said the man as he chomped away. "How's it going?"

"We're on a quest to save Hyrule!" Ed said with a smile.

"That's cool." said the man as he continued to eat his food. "Wanna buy some Magic Beans?"

"Magic Beans?" Eddy said skeptically.

"I know. Not a lot of people have heard of them. I'll sell you one for just 10 rupees." said the man before the group huddled up.

"Magic Beans? My foot." Eddy whispered.

"Maybe not," Edd said. "If they're like anything else in this world, then something's bound to happen with them."

"Maybe they'll grow into a beanstalk!" Ed whispered with a grin.

"Beanstalk?" Link asked.

"Probably something else from their world." Navi said.

"It'll only cost us 10 rupees. We can easily acquire more simply by cutting down some wild grass." Edd stated.

"Fine." Eddy groaned before they separated and looked at the man.

"Deal?" asked the man as he held up a bean pod.

"Deal." Edd said as he traded the 10 rupees for the bean pod.

"Just plant it in soft soil and wait." said the man before pointing his thumb at the soft patch of dirt next to him. Edd nodded and walked towards the soil, only to trip because he shoe came untied.

"Curses!" he yelled before he hit the ground, causing a jar of bugs he had to pop open, letting the bugs out. "Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!" he cried as he managed to catch one of them while the other two dug into the soft soil.

"Guess you lost some of them." Link said as he stood next to the patch of dirt, only to be shock, surprised, and horrified when a Golden Skulltula came flying out and stuck to his face. "OH MY GODDESSES! GET IT OFF!" he yelled as he began to flail around. Eddy laughed, Edd backed away, Ed hit him a few times with a Deku Stick trying to destroy the spider, and the bean man just watched it all while eating.

-2 minutes later-

Edd finished applying the last bandage onto Link's face after the group finally managed to destroy the Golden Skulltula thanks to Ed's brute strength and stupidity.

"Look on the bright side," Edd said with a nervous smile. "I recaptured one of the insects, and we remembered that the Golden Skulltulas love soft soil." Link only glared at him before pushing him into the river, leaving Ed to jump in and fish him out.

"This is no time to be swimming Double D," Ed said as he dragged Edd up on shore and wrung his whole body out like a sponge. "We have all of Hyrule to save!"

"Yeah!" Eddy chuckled before they planted the bean pod and watched it grow into a tiny sprout. "That's it?" Eddy asked before turning to the man. "I thought you said they were magic! Where's the magic?!"

"Gotta wait a few years for it to full grow." mumbled the man between bites.

"10 rupees just to plant a weed!" Eddy grumbled before looking at the man and opening his mouth.

"All sales are final." said the man before munching on, making Eddy turn red and glare at the man.

"Let's go, before Eddy blows his top." Navi said, hoping to get everyone to continue their quest.

"Let's go talk to the fish Zoras!" Ed yelled before grabbing his friends and jumping across the river. He kept on running, even using an Octorok and Blue Tektite as stepping stones on the way, before stopping when the others got themselves free from his grip and pulled on his jacket.

"We can walk the rest of the way Ed!" Edd stated.

"Okay...which way are we going?" Ed asked, making the others sigh before they heard some frogs croaking near a log. "Frogs!" Ed yelled while pointing at them.

"Yes. Those are frogs. Very accurate Ed." Edd said while patting his head.

"Why are they staring at us?" Link asked while walking out to the log, causing them all to jump up on some a log that had five smooth trunks on it, all of their eyes gazing at Link. "Uh...hello?" Link said with a wave.

"They're creeping me out." Eddy whispered.

"I'm with you on that one." Navi whispered back.

"You play?" asked one of the frogs, making the boys jump.

"They talk?!" Eddy yelped.

"Cool!" Ed smiled.

"You play?" asked the frog again. "You know any music?"

"What? Oh! Yeah!" said Link in a flustered voice before he pulled out his ocarina and played Zelda's Lullaby, making the frogs jump around before one of them grew twice in size.

"Ohhh~! That's some tune! Here's some rupees for the nice song!" said the grown frog before chucking a purple rupee at them. "You know any other songs?" asked the frogs. Link then proceeded to play the Sun's Song, Saria's Song, and Epona's Song, causing three more frogs to grow and spit purple Rupees at them.

"That was the last song I know." Link said with a sad smile.

"It's cool," said the tiny frog out of the newly grown group. "You learn any others, you come back and play. Bye." And with that, the frogs all leapt back into the water.

"200 rupees! WOOHOO!" Eddy yelled as each of them held a purple rupee.

"Link played the music, so he rightfully owns them." Edd stated as he held the purple rupee out.

"You guys hold onto them. My wallet's full as it is." Link said with his hand held up.

"In that case, we'll hold onto them." Edd said as they all pocketed the rupees.

"Let's go!" Navi shouted, hoping to get them going.

"Right!" they said before they continued onward. The four of them walked on until they found themselves on a bridge of rock, which was high above the pool of water that fed the river, all of which came from the waterfall flowing before them.

"So, where's the door?" Eddy asked while moving his eyes around.

"I believe that it is behind the waterfall." Edd said while examining the flowing water.

"If we play Zelda's Lullaby, we'll be able to go through." Navi reminded them, which Link did so. The waterfall then split into two separate falls, revealing a cave behind the water.

"Me first!" Ed yelled excitedly before jumping across, followed by Eddy, Link, and Edd before the water began to flow normally again. They looked back, then at each other, then walked forward into the home of the Zoras. They stood at the entrance and gazed at what was called Zora's Domain in awe. Waterfalls flowed into a massive pool of water, which teemed with fish and strange humanoid creatures that were a blue-ish/silver color, had scales, long fins on their arms and legs, and what looked like long dorsal fins of some sort growing out of the back of their heads.

"Whoa!" they all whispered in unison before turning to an approaching Zora.

"Welcome to the home of the Zoras!" greeted the Zora with a friendly smile.

"Hi Mr. Zora!" Ed waved.

"Why are they all naked?" Eddy whispered to Edd with his hand raised to his mouth. "First the Gorons, now these Zora guys."

"I'm afraid I haven't the answer, Eddy." Edd whispered back.

"Are you here for a tour? Or are you perhaps here to see the king?" asked the Zora.

"Please. We'd like to see the kind." Link said while stepping forward.

"Follow me. I will lead you to our king." said the Zora before gesturing for them to follow him as he walked away. They followed him while also looking around the Zora's Domain, fascinated by the design and inhabitants. The Zoras all smiled and either waved or greeted them as they walked on before coming before an huge and fat Zora with big lips and sad eyes that seemed to be in a daze. He wore a red cloth robe that hung off his shoulders and what looked to be a golden casing with an enourmous jewel encasing his upper fin. "Presenting the King of all Zoras! King Zora Do Bon XVI!" announced the Zora.

"Wow, he's fat." Eddy blurted out.

"Eddy!" Link, Edd, and Navi snapped.

"Hi King Zora!" Ed greeted with a smile and wave.

"Ohhh! My dear sweet Princess Ruto! Where have you gone?" King Zora asked to no one as he stared off into space, his voice dripping with sadness.

"Uh, hello? Down here!" Eddy yelled up to him.

"I'm afraid that our King has been like this for some time," informed the Zora with a shake of his head. "He's so worried about Princess Ruto that he's even begun to shun his meals. If this goes on, our people may fall into ruin."

"Oh dear!" Edd said with his hand up to his mouth in worry.

"I think I see where this is going," Eddy said. "We save their people, they help us on our journey."

"Okay!" Ed yelled with glee.

"Are you saying you four will help us?" asked the Zora.

"That's right," Link said. "It'd leave a bad taste in our mouthes if we just ignored you all when you're in trouble."

"We greatly appreciate any help you have to offer." said the Zora. "In fact, I may have something will prove to be invaluable in your search. This way." he said as he lead them down a tunnel that was just above the largest waterfall in Zora's Domain.

"Are these the visitors I've been hearing about?" asked another Zora that was standing next to the falls.

"Indeed. They wish to help us find Princess Ruto," explained the first Zora. "Which is why I wish to see if they can pass a little test."

"Ah! I understand!" said the Zora before smiling at the four boys. "Are you four ready?"

"Ready for what?" Eddy asked.

"For a little game we Zoras have. For only 20 rupees each, you all have a chance to win a grand prize." explained the Game Zora.

"I love games!" Ed grinned.

"What kind of game are you speaking of?" Edd asked.

"It's simple. I throw a few rupees over the falls, where they'll sink to the bottom of the water. All you have to do is jump down, swim, and retrieve them before time's up." explained the Game Zora.

"Sounds simple enough." Link said before he fished out 20 rupees and handed it to the Game Zora while the Zora that had greeted them jumped over the falls. The Game Zora then took out some rupees before tossing them over the falls and into the water, where they sank like stones to the bottom.

"Ready? GO!"
