Link had a pretty good idea of where Rauru,the sage of light,would be hanging around.Unless he was to preach at an important ceremony or wedding he would never leave the Temple of Time.Link knew Rauru was different from the other sages,he was more private.Private in a way where you couldn't just knock on his door an expect him to answer.Link played the Prelude of Light anyway though,thinking that if he could find Rauru anywhere,it would be the Temple of Time.
The next thing he knew,Link found himself within the Temple of Time.Luckily,today was a Saturday,when Rauru would be outside of the Sacred Realm and act as a priest for his weekly sermon.Link decided to sit down with the other Hyrulians inside and wait for Rauru to finish.When all of the people left,Link walked up to Rauru."Nice to see you again Link,I hope you have been taking my advice to heart".Said Rauru."Yes Rauru,I have.I've come here today to ask you a favor".Said Link."What is it my child"?Asked Rauru."Yesterday the guardian spirit of Zora's Domain,Lord Jabu-Jabu,was killed by Sageon.Princess Ruto has requested that the other sages join her in a ceremony to summon a new guardian".Said Link."I will be there Link".Said Rauru.
Link went back out to Hyrule Castle Town,and he noticed that he was pretty hungry.After all,the only thing he had for breakfast was half a glass of Lon Lon Milk.He looked over to a take out food place called the "King Chum".Link decided to walk inside.He looked around and saw that the place was still serving breakfast.That was good,since his stomach was still to flimsy to try lunch or dinner foods.He then went up to the counter."Wat'l it be mack"?Asked the cashier."Biscuit,Hashbrown,and some Lake Hylia water please".Said Link."That'l be 25 rupees please".Said the cashier.Link pulled out the money and payed hastily.He was pretty hungry.He took his food and walked back out to the market place.
He quickly ate his hashbrown and headed back out to Hyrule Field.His next stop was Goron City,but because he had left his Goron tunic at home,he had to take the long way up the Death Mountain trail.He played Epona's Song and decided to give Epona one of his biscuits.The horse happily ate the confection and Link mounted on to the horse's back.He wasn't in much of a hurry,so he didn't push Epona that hard.When he got to the city steps of Kakariko Village,he dismounted his horse and ate up the last of his biscuits.
Things looked pretty quiet in the village today.Eleven years ago this was as prosperous and populated as Hyrule Castle Town,but once people started moving back to the rebuilt Castle Town,Kakariko started becoming a small village again.The access housing left behind by the people who moved was bought by the rich familly that he had helped those eighteen years ago.People would rent those houses,but nobody ever seemed to stay or buy the houses from the familly.Link then started up Death Mountain trail.
The rocky trail,which was once a disaster zone full of falling boulders and Tektites,was now a peaceful grassy path.Link rather enjoyed his walk to Goron City,and he took some time to look from the beautiful view from the tall pole near Goron City.When Link got to Goron City,he smiled and took a quick gaze around.Oh how the city had changed.Ever since the Gorons narrowly escaped from the Fire Temple,Durania started reshaping and remodling the town.In a short eleven years what was once a boring cave town was now a prosperous city.With buildings,houses,and even a humongous Goron Racetrack.Link then went down to the bottom floor and went into Durania's room.
"Hello Durania,it's me Link".Said Link."Oh wow,it's great to see you again brother".Said Durania."I need to ask you a favor Durania.For you see,Zora's Domain has recently lost their guardian spirit,Lord Jabu-Jabu.Princess Ruto's requested that all the sages come and help her summon a new guardian for Zora's Domain.Will you come"?Asked Link."As much as I hate water Link it is my sworn duty as a sage to help the world in any way I can.Count me in".Said Durania."Good,it's been nice to see you again Durania".Said Link."And you too brother".Said Durania.
The next sage that Link had to visit was no stranger to him.Impa,Princess Zelda's former nurse maid.He could get to the Shadow Temple pretty easily,since all he would have to do was play the Nocturne of Shadow.He played the song and found himself in the Kakariko Village graveyard.He walked down the steps and found Impa reading a book in the main chamber."Impa,it's me Link".Said Link.Impa looked up.It was obvious that Impa hadn't seen Link in a long time."How long has it been anyway Link?Two,perhaps three years.You look so grown up,for I remember when you were just a little boy".Said Impa.Link quickly blushed then put on a more serious face."Listen Impa,you see........".Link was then iterupted in mid sentance."I know the situation Link,and yes i'll be there".Said Impa."Well,alright.I guess i'll see you there.Bye Impa".Said Link.
Link knew that Naburoo,the spirit sage,would be harder to reach than the others.Link could either take the long two day journey to Gerudo Valley,or he could risk trying to navigate through the desert wasteland that was between the Spirit Temple and the Theif's Hideout.He decided that the trip through the desert would be easier,since Princess Ruto was a very impatient person.Link got out his ocarina,and played the desert song the Requim of Spirit.When he emerged from the energy stream that flowed whenever he warped,he found himself on the triforce shaped platform in the Desert Collosus.He slowly grabbed his Lens of Truth and headed into the desert.
When he got to the other side,he found himself near the gates of the Theif's Hideout.He was stopped by what appeared to be a rookie guard,but Link just showed her his membership card and he was on his way.He looked around and saw a familiar Gerudo walking around named Acorisin."Acorisin,hey".Said Link."Oh hello Link,it's nice to see you around here again.You should really come more often".Said Acorisin."Listen,i'm looking for Naburoo.Do you have any idea where she might be"?Asked Link."I think she's training in the horse field.You know her,always trying to refine her skills".Said Acorisin.It was akward to see Acorisin again,especially since her and Link used to be lovers.Oh,but that's another story....................
Link then went over to the horse training area and sure enough Naburoo was on her horse Shotfire practicing her archery skills."Naburoo".Said Link.Naburoo then stopped her horse and dismounted.Link hadn't really seen her for about nine years,and she didn't look much different.She had aged so well in the past eighteen years,for she didn't look a day over thirty,when in reality she was around fourty years old."Well,if it isn't that Kokiri kid again"?Asked Naburoo jokingly."Yeah,heh,it's me.I've come to ask you for some help.Princess Ruto has requested that all the sages gather to Zora's Domain,because,for you see,their guardian spirit Lord Jabu-Jabu was killed yesterday.She needs your help,she needs all of the sages to come so she can summon a new guardian spirit for Zora's Domain".Said Link."Of course i'll come kid,I might be a little late though.It's kind of a long trip,even on horseback".Said Naburoo.
With Naburoo,there was still one more sage to call.Even though Link could just play Saria's Song and get it over with,Link decided to use a more personal method.So Link put the Ocarina of Time to his lips and started to play the Minuet of the Forest.The next thing he knew Link found himself outside of the forest temple.As expected Saria was sitting on that trademark stump,playing her ocarina.But Link noticed something ,something odd.Instead of her cheerful melody that she usually played,she was playing darker notes.Link could tell that she was still extremely upset about the destruction of the Kokiri Village.Link didn't want to bother her in her time of mourning ,but unfortunitly it was mandatory that she would come.
"Saria".Said Link."Oh Link,hello.It's nice of you to visit".Said Saria.Link then saw a single tear stream down Saria's cheek.Link had never seen Saria so depressed,so sad,so dark."I'll understand if you don't want to come Saria,but you kind of need to.The five other sages are going to gather in Zora's Domain.You see,Lord Jabu-Jabu,the guardian of Zora's Domain has been killed".Saria just paused.She understood very well,after all,the forest guardian had just been recently killed itself."You need not say more Link,I will be there".Said Saria."Listen Saria,I want you to know that the song works both ways.If you ever are feeling really lonely or sad,please play Saria's Song".Said Link.With that Link made an abrupt exit into the Lost Woods.
Now that all of the sages had been called,it was time for him to report back to Princess Ruto.That and he thought he should witness the ceremony himself,after all he was the Hero of Time.When he got back to Zora's Domain,he found hundreds of zoranian construction workers tooling the site.It looked as if King Zora had called together some kind of builder company to help in the reconstuction of Zora's Domain.Link ignored all of the commotion and stealthfully walked over to Zora's Fountain.
"I said get to work you lazy bums"!Yelled Ruto."We're(pant)going as fast as we can Princess".Replied one of the construction workers."Not good enough!My people just can't stay at Lake Hylia forever!Put some muscle into it"!Ruto barked.The construction worker then gave the Princess a dirty look and then went back to work."Don't you think you might be working them too hard"?Asked a familiar voice."Oh hello Link!Did you find all of the sages"?Asked Ruto."Yes,and good news.They've all decided to come,even Durania".Said Link."Oh and Naburoo said she might be late".Said Link.
