Now having their map decoded Link and Tetra set sail for the Forsaken
Fortress.
"Okay, according to the map, we should head due north." Tetra said.
"N-north?!; but that is beyond our sea charts capabilities." Zuko said suprised.
[Zuko's one of the crew members as is Niko,Nudge,Senza,Mako, and Gonzo.]
"So?; what's wrong?; we got a map."
"Yeah, but... there are creepy tales of the outer ocean."
"Like..."
"Well, giant fish the size of this boat, winds strong enough to destroy a mountain, and most frightening of all, the king octoroks."
"King" Octorok?" Tetra said puzzled.
"An Octorok so big that it could submerge or destroy an island in minutes!"
"Aw, bushwah!; none of that is anymore than a sailor's pub tails!"
"Hey Tetra!; we're about to exit the vicinity of the Forsaken Fortress!" Gonzo said.
"Good!; put up the main sails and leave the rest to mister Link!"
"We just crossed the boundry Mrs.Tetra."Mako said.
"Good!; Link?"
"Right, here it goes."Link said pulling out the windwaker.
But as soon as he got done with the Wind's Requiem, the wind waker stopped glowing.
"Hmm?; what's wron-" but Link could not finish his sentence as the wind jerked southwest at high velocities.
"Link?!; what are you doing?!" Tetra yelled at the top of her lungs.
"I don't know!; the wind waker lost power before this awful wind picked up!" Link said also yelling over the howling wind.
"I don't think it works outside of New Hyrules boundry's!"
"Well, that's just great!" Tetra yelled,"what are we going to do now?"
Then Link looked to the northeast, "Avoid that tidal wave that's what!" Link managed to scream before the ship subscumbed to the wall of water.
***********************************************************
"Ungh, where am I?" Link thought aloud, waking on a mysterious beach.
"A good question; but a more pertinent thought may be when you are." A mysterious voice said.
"When am I?!; what's that supposed to mean?; and who are you?"
"Good questions, but what reason must you know them other than for the sake of knowing?"
"Wha-"
"Ah, you must rest now, I'll reveal these question's answers and more tomorrow."
Then the person left.
"Ungh..." a voice said weakly beside Link.
"Tetra is that you?"
"Huh?, oh, hi Link, where are we?"
"I don't know; where's the others?"
"Beats me, I just woke up."
"Mabye he was right." Link thought aloud.
"Who?"
"Oh, this guy was here a few minutes ago talking to me, I didn't get a chance to see him though, it is dark."
"Well what was he right about?"
"Oh, right, um he said we should rest now and he'll talk to us again in the morning."
"Good advise, we should probubly take it."
"Yeah." Link said drifting to sleep.
***************************************************
"Wake up!, the day is fleeting and time is wasting, up you must get!" the mysterious pertson said.
"Wha, who? Oh right get up." Link said.
"Hey Tetra get up. Tetra?" Link said finding an empty bed beside him.
"She has awoken and eaten breakfast already, sleepy one."
"Oh, okay, I'd better get there too." Link said getting out of bed and leaving the room.
**************************************************
"Hey Link, have you met that guy yet he's pretty neat." Tetra said eating a bowl of strange food.
"Actually I never got a good look at the guy, I guess I'll see him in a minute though."
Then Link pulled up a chair and sat down, beginning to eat a preset meal.
"Enjoying your meal?" the mysterious man asked.
"Sure am!" Link managed to say with a mouthful of food.
"Oh, by the way who are you exactly?"
"Hm? My name is Zaruto the III or Zar which ever you prefer."
"Zaru- Imean Zar... "what" are you?!" Link said actually seeing him in good light.
"I'm a Zora, of course!" Zar said sounding like everyone knew what a Zora was.
"A Zora?!; you mean like Laruto?!" Link said getting excited.
"Laruto? Who is that?" Tetra asked.
"Oh, she is- was the sage of the earth temple, before Ganon killed her." Link replied nonchalantly.
"The earth sage you say?, yes, if I recall my grandfather Zaruto the I, said something about that." Zar started.
"Long ago, before the flood the Zora had a sage selected by Ruto, the previous sage, to replace herself with when she entered the next realm. Her great granddaughter was to be sage, Laruto, but the Temples of the sages disappeared. So the Zora's and the people of Kakariko built a huge temple to honor Earth. And the Kokiri and Gorons helped with the Wind temple. As I recall my grandfather also spoke of Ganons return. Someone had opened the door of time by destroying the sage's temples and stealing the ocarina of time, expecting to be rewarded for letting Ganon be free, that person was killed on sight by Ganon himself. Then Gnon went about the land and wreaked havoc. But the goddesses came to put a stop to all this once and for all. But before they arrived Ganon caught wind of their plight and Killed the Earth, and Wind sage, so that when the goddesses trapped what remained of his already weakened power, whoever released the Master Sword would not be able to use it against him. Also his power was weakened by his escape into Hyrule, when he returned his power was trapped in the Sacred realm, but he found that he was not. That's all I was told, interesting huh?" Zar said.
Link and Tetra stared at him strangely, "We have no idea what you are talking about." Tetra said slowly.
"Ah, yes, these lands were destroyed- or flooded years ago." Zar said.
"Anyway where are we?" Link asked.
"Ah yes, your ship wrecked here a day ago, you crew is rebuilding it with some add-ons of my own creation."Zar said scratching his head."You're on Shielded Isle, an island far from where your from. 300 miles tops. Anyway this isle is a haven for those who venture into the salty seas.
"Salty seas, 300 miles?!" Tetra started ranting.
"Quiet down Tetra, I gotta hear this, so what is the Salty seas?" Link asked.
"The Salty seas are the seas in the immediate area. You see, the ocean enters a series of small islands of salt. These islands are impossible to pass by without a map."
"We have one here.", Link said holding the map.
"Very good, you should be able to pass through, but let me mark a few things here."
"What are those little squid things, and that fish-shape dot your marking on my map?"
"Well, those squid-shape dots are the huge Octorok's you got to avoid at all costs, and that dot is the great Merfish, king of the Merman; he'll upgrade this map to it's highest quality if you can give him one of these berrys." Zar said giving Link a berry that had to be a least 4 feet wide.
"This is a Merberry. One grows from a Merberry tree every twenty years, so this is the only one your gettin'. The Merberry tree is what blocks the wind from hitting this island. This very house is built under its leafy gaze. The Merberry as you can plainly see is a giant plump fruit much like a plum, but a light bluish purple with a green tip a the bottom. The serum this fruit can create is strong enough to raise even the worst of ailments from a person." Zar explained.
"So, when is the ship ready we gotta go." Tetra said.
"Oh, about two hours ago, a fellow named Stergeon told me so."
"Great, so let's go, Link grab the Merberry and I'll get this sack of provisions this guy gave us to go with our soup. Good thing we carried the soup with us, huh Link?" Tetra said happily.
"You bet! So let's see the new ship"
So they went outside to see the ship, which was hardly recognizable.
"What happened to the ship?" Tetra asked.
"Well I added a new hull of Merberry tree bark, new secondary sails made of Elastifiber, three new story's personal quarters for the crew and Link, a boomfish cannon(A fish who can spit molten rocks), and self propelling main sails so you can sail your fastest in any wind, generous eh?" Zar said beaming proudly.
"Okay but what is that seashellike thing where my quarters windows used to be?" Tetra asked.
"Oh, I forgot, that is a rainbow squid shell, toughest armor in the world. I even crafted some armor and weapons for you out of the shell."
"Well, that's great and all, but why are you doing this for us?" Link asked.
"Because I know what you are doing, and where you are going, and as the sole surviving Zora of this area, I must do my part."
"Okay, well we'll be going now." Tetra said.
"Come on Link!" Tetra said running to the new ship.
"Allright!; see ya Zar!" Link said cheerily as he left for the ship. And in no time, they were gone.
"Okay, according to the map, we should head due north." Tetra said.
"N-north?!; but that is beyond our sea charts capabilities." Zuko said suprised.
