Chapter 2: Clocktown
Link stepped through the doors, wondering what would be on the other side. He wondered if he would end up in a world where everything was upside down. He didn't know what to expect. So he braced himself for any unknown force that might be lurking on the other side of the door.
He thrust the door open, (which still didn't go very far) as the Happy mask salesman waved his last goodbye.
All of the sudden, he was attacked by sound and light. It was so intense that Link recoiled at the sight and hearing of it. He had been underground for so long that he had forgotten what the eye of din looked like.
As his eyes adjusted to the light, he noticed that he was in a bazaar. Stands were set up everywhere, selling goods and food. A musical band played at the far end. There were people everywhere. Mixed in were a few Gorons, Dekuscrubs, and Zoras. It was a huge hustle and bustle. He looked up above him to see where he had come from.
Shock quickly overwhelmed him.
He had come from a massive clock tower. It had a base of solid stone. The clock itself was carved out of wood.
But what was even more threatening and menacing to him was that above him, there was a moon that was gigantic. It's evil, yellow eyes staring down upon the clock tower, and in the middle of the day.
That's when he noticed, that everybody seemed a little edgy. They were all trying to get on with their lives as calmly as possible, but couldn't help noticing how close the moon was. Link walked up to a booth with no line up, and tried to leap up and talk to the salesman, but he was to short.
"Move shorty," A tall man half-shouted as he swiftly kicked Link out of the way. Link flew into a small puddle of mud. Everybody began laughing at the sight of Link. Link shakily stood up and walked towards a big Dekuscrub, in a golden flower who was stationed next to the tower.
"Excuse me, but what happened to the moon?" Link asked curiously.
"Where are you from?"
"Hyrule."
"Well, you've come at a bad time. A week ago, a strange scarecrow with a purple mask came and said he would destroy the world. And with that, a strange light came from his hands. The light shot towards the moon.
"Nothing seemed to happen to the moon, so no one took it seriously. People got very edgy when the moon stayed in the day. And ever since, it got closer, and closer. The scarecrow also said he would destroy the world on the eye of the carnival, leaving only one hour to celebrate the world's destruction"
Tatli then spoke up, "That's three days from now. Exactly three days. It's one o'clock PM right now, so we only have seventy-two hours before the world is destroyed."
"Well, what's the first thing we should do Tatli?" Link asked, dismissing the Dekuscrub from the conversation.
"Well, umm. Hey wait a minute, This is Clocktown. The great fairy of Magic lives in the North end. This is just between you and me, but skull kid is no match for her."
"Well then lets get going," said link excitedly.
Tatli flew behind the clock tower, pursued by Link.
* * *
When they passed through the gates of North clock town, Link was hit with another sense.
A sense of calm.
Birds chirped, a slight breeze nestled in among the blades of grass, and, unlike south clock town, This place had no bazaar. It was a little park where people could relax from all the hustle and bustle. Link felt very relaxed here.
Just a bit ahead of him, was a boy trying to hit the bulls eye on a small set of target rings with a blowgun. The boy was dressed in blue jeans, and a white shirt. He had a blue hat on as well. Engraved on the back of his shirt was 'The Bombers.' To his extreme left was a cave, hidden by some bushes. Tatli explained that this was where the great fairy lived. So link made his way to the cave.
* * *
Link used a flower to leap over the bushes, and entered the cave. When he got inside, shock took over again. In front of him was a fountain. The water was a soft, light blue. A calming blue. Light green pillars supported the ceiling. Water trickled down the dark, purple walls, but, of course, that wasn't what shocked Link and Tatli.
"Oh no! The great fairy is-is," Tatli stuttered.
"In pieces," Link finished. In front of Link and Tatli, was a group of little fairies. They had lost their glow, and Link could see the body parts of each fairy.
One flew up to Link and begged, "Please, here my plea. Skull kid has shattered my body, and kidnapped one of the fairies. We can't be pulled together unless all of us are together."
"But I'm no match for skull kid."
"Then to aid you, We'll grant you a magical attack. There isn't much time left. I can only stay like this for three more days. Then I will die."
"Grant me the spell then, and I will do my best," Link said. All the fairies suddenly flew around Link, creating a tornado of fairies around him. Link felt light-headed as he was overwhelmed by their magic.
He began to sleep while standing up.
He had a dream, that he was blowing bubbles out of his nose. But, these bubbles had a strange sparkle to them. He dreamed that the bubble flew towards Skull kid, and it exploded.
At the instant of the explosion, Link was jerked awake. His eyes adjusted to the light, and Tatli was giving him a blank stare.
"You OK Link?" she asked curiously.
"Yeah, I'm fine." he looked around, and noticed all the fairies were gone. "Hey where'd they go?"
"They went to sleep. They're drained. So what attack did you learn?"
"Uuum."
"Show it to me."
So link, trying the best to remember the dream. He took in a gulp of air, and blew out his nose forcefully, while concentrating on the dream he had. This was how Zelda had taught him to use magic. But instead of a whoosh of air coming out, a giant bubble came out of his nose.
He blew it bigger, and bigger, until it was as big as he was. Then, he jerked his head back, releasing the bubble, and it flew across the room. It made an explosion of light on the wall.
Tatli just glared. "That's the magical attack?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
* * *
Link got out of the cave, wondering what more stress he could have. A lot weighed on his shoulders. He had a mask to retrieve, an ocarina to retrieve, a fairy to retrieve, a body to retrieve, and a moon to stop.
All in three days.
He looked around the park, wondering what to do next. Tatli didn't seem to know what to do either.
So he walked up to the boy, and asked, "Excuse me, but do you know where Skull kid is?"
"No I don't." He said, not even looking at Link, as he was so concentrated on hitting the target.
"Uuuum, do you know who would?"
"The professor."
"Where is he?"
"In the observatory."
"How do I get to him?"
Frustrated, the boy yelled, "Can't you see I'm busy? I'm doing my blow gun practice right now." And with that, he turned back to what he was doing.
Link simply threw back his head, blew a small bubble, and spat it at the target.
It hit dead centre.
Both the boy and Tatli were stunned. Tatli wondered how in the world Link managed to hit it, when he had only blew one bubble in his entire life.
"Now can I talk to you?" Link asked.
"Sure. whatever you want. I've never known a Dekuscrub with such accuracy," The boy said, almost admiringly
"Ok. How do I get to the professor?"
"You have to go through the Bomber's hide out to get to it."
"OK, where is it?"
"You have to be a member."
"How do I become a member?"
"You can't."
"What do you mean I can't?"
"You have to be human. passed experiences with other races have been disastrous."
"Is there another way I can get to the observatory?"
"No."
"Is there anybody else who would know the whereabouts of Skull kid?"
"No."
"Damn."
"What's your record for asking the most consecutive questions in a row?" Link looked at him, bewildered, then realised he had asked a lot of questions.
The boy smiled at him. "I might be able to give you the code, but why do you want to know the whereabouts of skull kid."
"Cause he stole my ocarina."
"Hmm. I'll give you the code. how's that?"
"Uuum, thanks. I don't know what to say."
"How about your name so I know who you are?"
"Oh uum, Link."
"Hi Link. I'm Jim. the leader of the club. were called the Bombers." He said in a proud voice.
"Nice to meet you Jim. Now what's this you said about a code?"
"Alright. the code is 34152. It's in East clock town. You'll see a guy with a hat on his head like this one guarding a crack in the wall."
"Thanks." Link said. And with that, he sprinted to East clock town.
* * *
When Link got into East Clock town, his calming mood was shattered by an excited yelp.
This section was an extension of the bazaar, except this section was dedicated to games. The colour was more intense then in South clock town. Lots of children were here. Some were even wearing the same hat Jim was wearing. What could hurt about a few games he thought.
"Link, lets get to the observatory now," Tatli said.
"Tatli relax. We've got plenty of time," he replied as he ran into the sea of people, dodging legs. He headed toward a fishing game. Unfortunately, in all the legs he dodged, he missed one.
He ran smack dab into someone's foot, and the person tripped, slamming into the fishing game. Water sprayed everywhere, getting a lot of people wet. Link stood up, and looked in horror at who he had tripped. It was the same man that had kicked him into the mud. Fear gripped him as the man glared at him. Fear also rooted his feet to the ground.
"Why you little piece of shit," The man said in a menacing way.
He stood up to his full height, which was about six feet compared to the two foot tall Link. He was wearing a black tunic, had bushy black hair, and a huge beard. He had a scabbard on his back, which held what looked like a four foot long scimitar.
Two men went to hackle Link, but the bearded man held out his hand, stopping them.
"He's mine," He half shouted at the men, and they backed off.
The Bearded man walked towards Link, taking slow, giant steps to be as intimidating as possible, Teeth bared. Link was shaking. He didn't know whether to run, or fight.
He then recovered his senses and picked run.
He turned to flee, but the crowd had made a circle around him, and the big man. Link could see that the people were not happy with Link, as he had gotten a lot of them wet. They had left an open space by the wall however, and there, Link saw a flower.
The people began chanting: "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" They wanted Link to take a good beating.
Obviously, Dekuscrubs had no respect in this town.
The man walked up to him, preparing to attack him. He reared back his foot, ready to unleash a powerful kick. I'm dead, Link thought.
All at once, Link recognised what this was. It had been a very long time since he had done something like this. It was like an old Link that he had stored in the back of his head, and the old Link was suddenly taking over the fearful Link that stood, about to be kicked. That's when Link recognised what this was.
This was a battle.
Link blocked out all sounds. The chanting, the growling man, even the beating of his heart, ready for whatever the man might throw at him.
The Man unleashed his kick. Link effortlessly back flipped out of the way. The Man took this as a surprise.
"What's a matter? Can't catch me?" Link taunted, His confidence quickly rising. The man moved in on Link again, Outraged at his taunt.
"I'll get you yet you filthy piece of wood," he shouted back.
Link began blowing a bubble, circling away from the bearded man as he did this, but the bearded man was faster then Link. He leaned back to unleash a savage blow to Link's head with his fist, but Link let go of the bubble, and it hit the bearded man in the face.
The bubble let out an explosion of light like it did in the cave, and the man fell back, stunned.
"Maybe if you actually learned how to fight, you might have a chance," Link taunted again, his confidence near the peak of what it once was back in Hyrule.
Link charged another bubble, and pounced on the man, but the man simply used a backhand, swipe, and Link flew six feet to the side. Link outstretched his hands, and sprung up from them, doing a hand spring.
Link had all so left the bubble he had blown up right above the man. The man went to get up, but was hit in the face with the bubble once again.
Link blew another bubble, prepared for what the man might do next.
The man quickly got up, heaving from the pain the bubbles had caused him. His one eye was black, but he wasn't going down that easy. The man glared at Link, who had spat the bubble in his hand. It was now Link's weapon, only good for one hit. The
Man then drew his Scimitar. It gleamed in the sunlight. The edge looked razor sharp, and Link could tell that it could do some serious damage. They both stood there, glaring at each other.
Then they ran at each other.
The Man raised his Scimitar high above his head. Link did the same with his Bubble. The Man brought the sword down upon Link.
Or, at least where Link had been a second ago.
Link had dived under the sword, and used his hands to grab the man's leg while he was running at Link. The man's weight was used against him and he fell to the ground with a sickening thud.
Link, didn't waste a second. He jumped up on the man's back and thrust his bubble to the back of the man's head. The Man in extreme pain, reared up, throwing Link against the wall. Link used his legs to spring off the wall, and spat a small bubble at the man. The man recoiled, covering his eye.
"What's the matter? being beaten by a mere Dekuscrub?" Link taunted as he kicked the man in the face, forcing another small bubble between his foot and the man's face. The man landed on his butt, clutching his eyes, trying to tear them out. Link stood in front of him.
He blew a bubble into one hand, and then a bubble in the other hand, and waited.
The man, finally done tearing at his eyes, stood up. Now his other eye was blackened, and dripping with blood. He ran at Link, flailing his sword in every possible direction sloppily. Link merely shoved one of his bubbles in his face again. The Man recoiled, dropping the sword.
It fell, almost landing on Link, but Link kicked the handle, doing a back flip, and it sunk into the wooden wall by the flower. The man ran at Link again. So Link ran the other way towards where he kicked the sword into the wall. Link then used the sword to get a very high wall kick, and jump over the running man.
The Man slammed into the wall, the sword slamming into his gut. Link threw his bubble in the back of the man's head to keep him there, Then he dived into the Flower, waiting for the man. The Man turned around sluggishly.
He now had two black eyes (one which was bleeding), a bloody nose, and blood oozed out of the corner of each lip. He clutched his stomach in pain. He was definitely not looking well.
And Link was preparing for the final blow.
The Man walked over top of the flower. That's when Link made his move. Link sprung up, slamming his head on the man's chin. The Man Fell back against the wall, his head hitting the hilt of his sword. The man let out a low groan then slowly slipped into unconsciousness.
Link landed in front of him. He spat on the man, then turned around.
The crowd just stared in awe.
They had stopped chanting, amazed that a baby Dekuscrub could take on such a powerful man. Then slowly, someone began to clap. Another person followed, then another, then another, until the whole crowd was cheering and whistling at Link for the brilliant fight he put up.
A group of people picked up Link and lifted him on their soldiers. One person asked what Link's name was, and after Link told him, he began to start a chant.
"Link! Link! Link! Link! Link! Link! Link! Link! Link! Link!" They chanted.
Tatli kept on trying to get Link's attention, but failed miserably. After the little parade was over, They set Link down. Soon, everybody went back to their business. They still looked at Link admiringly as he walked by.
Link however, couldn't see what the big idea was, despite that was enjoying it. He had just defeated a big man, but the crowd had hated him before as he had drenched them. Even the two men who were going to attack him originally had congratulated him.
A soldier walked up to Link and asked, "Where did you learn all that son?"
Link, not wanting to go into a whole story that he had learned it conquering Ganadorf, merely said, "I taught myself."
Tatli spoke up then, "Seriously Link, how did you know all that. Your a weak, baby Dekuscrub, that I put on the ground this morning. Where did you learn all that?"
Link turned to the guard, ignoring Tatli's question and asked, "How come everybody made such a big deal about that fight?"
The soldier sighed, and said, "That guy bullied everybody. He almost has as much power as our town mare. He was close to killing someone, but held back. Everybody followed him in fear. If anybody backed away, he would strip them down. Didn't you notice how everybody tensed when they were around him? You freed the people Link. Even us guards are afraid of him, Or else we would've arrested him. Yet you defeated him without breaking a sweat.
"Now he'll spend a good two years in a cell for all the fights he put up."
Link thought about what he said. He hadn't noticed how tense everybody had been because he was so focused on the battle. Plus he wasn't quite that tall and had to look up to see faces.
Link walked away from the guard who tried to ask him another question, but faltered and went back to his post guarding the gate to what looked like the exit. Link could see two other guards picking the Man up and carrying him somewhere.
Then Link turned to Tatli and said, "It's getting Late. we'll have to go to the Bomber's hideout tomorrow."
"Where did you learn all that Link?"
"I'll tell you when were in a room, all alone, and in bed. I'm tired. I just fought a guy three times my height with a giant scimitar. He has very sloppy footwork though." Tatli gave up, and they looked for the nearest Inn.
* * *
They found one that was having a special discount for 10 rupees a night(although Link thought it was because of the man he had defeated). Luckily, Skull kid didn't steal any of Link's rupees, and he was able to purchase a small room. They ate a small dinner at the Inn restaurant, and then went to bed.
Link told stories of how he had to get three spiritual stones to open the temple of time, and how Ganadorf had used Link to gain access to the Triforce. He even told Tatli why he was so accurate. (See if you can guess in your reviews. I'll post it if you get it right if you want) He was about to tell her more, when he could no longer keep his eyes open, and went to sleep.
* * *
Link yawned, and woke up. He felt groggy and tired, but he knew he had to get up. He slowly rose out of bed, and plopped onto the floor. He had a nightmare last night, and it had kept him awake for most of the night, but he thought he better remember it.
In the dream, he dreamed of four figures, no, giants. They were tortured by a green lightning Bolt and imprisoned in their own soles. It was horrifying.
Link didn't understand it though, so he told it to Tatli.
"Tatli, is there a Legend about four giants?" Link asked.
"Uum, no. Not that I know of. My brother would probably know though. He loves stories and ran away from me often when he was little, begging people for stories."
"OK, thanks Navi."
"What? who's Navi?"
"Oh, sorry Tatli. Navi was a fairy, just like you. If it weren't for her, I would have never conquered Ganadorf. She got no recognition. I never even got to say thank you to her. I was looking for her when you, Tael, and Skull kid came," He said, his tone slightly accusing.
"I'm sorry for what I did OK. Stop using it against me," Tatli shouted forcefully. "I know what I did was wrong. I just want your forgiveness."
"Then you have it. Lets go," Link said, now fully awake.
Link stepped out of the Inn, and into the fresh air outside. The eye of din wasn't fully up yet, so all the booths were closed, and Bazaar was completely deserted.
All except for a boy, guarding a crack in the wall.
Link walked up to the boy and recited the numbers, "34152."
The boy looked up surprised at this, and said, "Wow. how did you get the code? There are no non-humans allowed in here. Hang on a second, aren't you the guy who defeated the big bully yesterday?"
"Yes it was. I have the code, can I please get in?"
"Yeah sure, but I don't know what Jim will say about this," The boy said. He then turned to the crack, inserted some strange object that Link didn't recognise, and the crack opened slightly.
* * *
Skull kid looked out over the town. It's so ugly. He thought. It's filled with so much scum and Weaklings. 'I hate it,' he thought. 'I'm going to clear it from my life, and create a new world. A better world.' However, these weren't Skull kids thoughts. These were the masks thoughts. Inside the Mask, Skull kid was trapped in a dark Void. There was no gravity, no laws of physics, no light.
There was nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The moment he had put the Mask on, he had been imprisoned inside of it. Skull kid was merely the masks host. The mask taunted that he would be like this forever.
The 'mask' looked out over the town. He had watched the little Dekuscrub takeout the bearded man. This gave the mask an advantage. He knew this would make the little twerp cocky and overconfident. He smiled even more when the little twerp was heading towards the gigantic clock.
"Come," he said to himself. "I'm waiting."
* * *
Link sprinted towards the clock tower. He had got inside the Hideout fine. Luckily, Jim had found him first and lead him straight to the Professor.
The Professor allowed him to look through his giant teloscope, and he had seen Skull kid on top of the clock tower.
Link immediately headed for it.
He got there, wondering how he was going to get up there? He searched around the clock to find a an entrance, and found a door on the back. He tried to open it, but the gigantic door wouldn't budge. Link also noticed that this door had no hinges.
He turned to Tatli and asked, "Hey Tatli, how come this won't open?"
"It won't open till the eye of the carnival," she answered.
"WHAT! That only gives us an hour to get my ocarina and the Mask salesman's Mask back!"
"I know. Your just gong to have to wait it out and pray."
Link pouted about this. How am I supposed to save the world in five minutes? he thought.
* * *
But Tatli was right. there was nothing he could do, but wait. He kept thinking about his dream again. The one with the four Giants. He tried to think of all possible explanations about it based on all the stories he had heard in the Kokori forest, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He decided to take a walk in North clock town, wondering what to do. He knew how he would defeat Skull kid. He just had to do what he did in the dream where he dreamed of the bubble spell.
Night Came quickly, followed by Morning.
When Link stepped out of the Inn, he noticed that most of the Bazaar was closed, and boarded up. It didn't take him long to see why.
The moon was so close, Link swore he could touch it.
* * *
Night came. Link had searched the entire Town. Very few people remained. Not even the guards were there. Link checked the Bearded Man's cell, and found it empty.
The city had evacuated.
Link was forced to wait until the final hour.
The hour drew nearer. Link waited outside the entrance, waiting for midnight to come.
It came.
* * *
Suddenly, Fireworks sprung from the Clock Tower as it chimed Midnight. The Fireworks illuminated the dark town in an Eerie light display. Obviously the Fireworks were set on a timer.
A giant Pole rose up from the top of the tower. It kept on rising higher, and higher, and higher. Then it stopped. It tipped over and fell. The face of the Clock rotated and became horizontally flat.
Link watched in awe as it finished. Then, the door in front of him drop down to reveal...Another door. The other door dropped down, but not all the way. Then another dropped down, and another until a stairwell was created by the series of doors.
he could now reach skull kid.
"Well, this is it Tatli."
"Yep. Lets get going." Link only hesitated for a moment, then charged through the door.
When Link and Tatli finally emerged at the top, they found skull was waiting for them. The face of the clock was now the floor of the circular battlefield. The Clock face was also slowly rotating, bringing Link slowly closer to The floating Skull kid.
Skull kid was tossing Link's ocarina up and down in his hand. It glimmered in the eerie starlight.
Skull kid then began to speak, "Well. I never thought we would get this far Link. you now shall witness the end of the world."
Tatli then spoke shakily, "Tha-That's not Skull kid's Voice."
Suddenly, a bright Red light flew from out behind Skull Kid.
It flew towards Tatli while shouting, "Tatli. Your here. Something is wrong with- AAAAAAH!" Skull kid had shot a bright purple beam at the little red fairy, and it fell in a heap, his wings crumpling Like fire burning Paper.
"Tael!" Tatli shouted desperately.
"Serves you right for getting out of line you stupid fairy," Skull said menacingly. Tatli had flown down to her fallen brother.
"Tael..."
"Tatli...Mountains, Swamps, Oceans, canyons...uh...Call the four...uh...the four..."
"Tael no!" Tatli said as the fairy slowly lost his glow. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SKULL KID I'LL GET YOU FOR THAT!" She charged at Skull, who merely shot another glowing beam of purple light at the Fairy. But Tatli was expecting this, and dropped down, avoiding the purple beam. Then Skull kid Flung his arms up, and Tatli began to swerve violently. Skull kid was controlling her.
"Hahahaa. You think a puny little fairy is strong enough to defeat me? I'll make you suffer you little-AAAAAAAAAH!"
An explosion of light hit Skull kid full in the face. He had totally ignored Link.
Big mistake.
"How about you apologise you bastard for what you did to her brother?"
"Oh, I have another fairy I'm sure you'd like to meet Link." Skull kid removed a pouch from his waist. Link tensed, ready for what he might pull out. Skull kid pulled out a fairy from his pouch, and held it by it's wings.
It was Navi.
"Navi! you let her go Skull kid."
"Link," Navi shouted. "The ocarina."
Suddenly Link realised, that the ocarina of time was in-between Link and Skull kid. Skull kid and Link both Looked at each other, then the ocarina.
Without warning, both charged at the Ocarina. Skull kid easily out-flew Link. He was about to swipe it when another explosion of Light hit him in the face. Skull kid clawed at the eyeholes in the mask, missing the ocarina by a mile. Link easily dived at the precious ocarina, and snatched it.
"You may have the ocarina, but what can you do with it?" Skull kid taunted, as he faced Link.
Tatli flew next to Link and yelled, "He's right. Getting that ocarina doesn't help. The moons gonna crash soon. We need more time. GODESS OF TIME HELP US, PLEASE!"
Link was listening. He was lost in memory.
"Your leaving aren't you Link?" the Princess Zelda asked. She was wearing a bright Pink dress. Her head dress was on, and she was standing outside Hyrule castle, saying her last goodbye to Link. "I always knew this day would come."
"I'm coming back, but I must find Navi," Link explained.
"Link, I have something I must tell you before you depart," The princess said, wiping a tear from her eye. "I've always felt strong around you. Whenever you weren't with me, I always felt insecure. I feel safe around you Link. I feel safe with you. When you come back, please don't ever leave me again."
Link looked at her shocked. He quickly asked, "What about Impa?"
"She can only protect me Link. You comfort me. Just being around you makes me feel light-headed. You do more then protect me from everything around us, you protect me from myself. So please take this with you." She then held in her hand, An ivory white ocarina.
Link stared in awe. It was the ocarina of time. He was about to reach out to except it when She pulled it to her Lips, and said "Please remember this song. It will help remind you of the time we spent together." She then began playing the song of Time.
to Link, there was no way to describe the beautiful Song. It wasn't a fast song, but it wasn't a slow song either. It was a mystery. The song flow through Link's mind and found a comfortable spot and embedded itself in Link's memory.
When Zelda was finished, she gave the ocarina to Link and asked him to take care of it. She then said one last word.
"Goodbye."
She could no longer take it anymore. She broke down crying her heart out to Link. Link walked up to her, and embraced her.
"Be strong," he replied. "I will come back." And with that, he mounted Epona, and for the last time whispered: "Goodbye." He then Urged Epona into a gallop and took of across Hyrule field.
Link was suddenly bopped on the head by Tatli.
"What are you doing lost in Memory?"
Link didn't say anything. Instead, he put the ocarina to his lips. There was a slight shimmer from the ocarina, and it changed into a set of five pipes.
"Oh My god! those are the royal Deku pipes," Tatli explained. Skull kid was stunned. He was so stunned that he forgot to react.
Link then began to play the song of time. As he played the song, a white glow of Light emitted from the enormous set of pipes, and engulfed Link and Tatli. Link could no longer play the song.
It was rather playing by itself.
The song planted into Link's ears and wouldn't stop playing. Link was surrounded by light. he began to fall. Fall into the endless pit of white. Everything was out of focus and swirling around him. he couldn't see anything as he was blinded by the intensity of the light. All of the sudden, it all stopped and he was standing in front of the clock tower.
