Hyrulian
Nights
Scene
1: The Desert Colossus
(Camera tilts down to find Ganondorf sitting on his horse
and Kaepora Gaebora on his shoulder. Agahnim comes riding up to the pair.)
GANONDORF: You... are late.
AGAHNIM: A thousand apologies, O patient one.
GANONDORF: You have it, then?
AGAHNIM: I had to slit a few throats to get it. (Pulls out the Spiritual Stone of the
Forest. Ganondorf reaches out for it,
but Agahnim yanks it back.) Ah, ah,
ah! The treasure! (Kaepora hoots as he flies by and grabs
the stone.) Ouch!
GANONDORF: Trust me, my pungent friend. You'll get what's coming to you.
KAEPORA: What's coming to you! Hoot!
(Ganondorf pulls out the other two Spiritual Stones. He places them together, and the stones
begin to glow. Finally, they fly out of
Ganondorf's hand, scaring the horses, and are off towards the dunes.)
GANONDORF: Quickly, follow the trail!
(All ride off, following the glowing specks of light,
until they reach a large dune. They
separate into three and the stones plunge into the dune. All that remains are three glowing points of
light on the dune. But then the dune
begins to rise up, transforming into a giant lion's head, with the glowing points
serving as the eyes.)
GANONDORF: At last, after all my years of searching, the
Sacred Realm!
KAEPORA: Hoot! Sacred Realm!
AGAHNIM: By Din!
GANONDORF: Now, remember! Bring me the Triforce. The rest of the treasure is yours, but the Triforce is mine!
(Agahnim starts to approach the lion's mouth, which forms the
entrance to the realm. He chuckles as
he goes.)
KAEPORA: Hoot, the Triforce! Hoot, the Triforce! (Now that Kaepora and Ganondorf are
alone, Kaepora opens up in normal Hyrulian.) Jeez, where'd ya dig this bozo up?
(Ganondorf puts his finger to his lips and shushes
him. Agahnim reaches the realm, but is
blown away by the roar of the realm's speaking.)
SACRED
REALM: Who disturbs my
slumber?
AGAHNIM: It is I, Agahnim, a humble wizard.
SACRED
REALM: Know this. Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. A rupee in the rough.
(Agahnim turns to Ganondorf with a questioning look.)
GANONDORF: What are you waiting for? Go on!
(Agahnim hesitates, then moves one foot inside the
cave. With great apprehension, he
plants his foot down. Nothing
happens. Relieved, he begins his trek
again. Then another roar comes. He turns back, but the lion's mouth slams
shut and the dune collapses back to normal. All that are left are Ganondorf, Kaepora, and the three Spiritual
Stones.)
SACRED
REALM: Seek thee out, the
rupee in the rough.
(Kaepora unburies himself from the sand, coughing as he
does so.)
KAEPORA: I can't believe it. I just don't believe it. We're never gonna get a hold of that stupid
triangle! Just forget it. Look at this. Look at this. I'm so
ticked off that my feathers are falling out! (He files up to Ganondorf's shoulder.)
GANONDORF: Patience, Kaepora. Patience. Agahnim was
obviously less than worthy.
KAEPORA: (Extremely sarcastically) Oh, there's a big surprise. That's an incred... I think I'm gonna have a
heart attack and die from not surprise! What're we gonna do? We got a
big prob... (Ganondorf pinches his
mouth shut.)
GANONDORF: Yes, we do. Only one may enter. I must find
this one, this... rupee in the rough.
