Chapter 2 – The Gangs of Hyrule City
8-ball and Link stared as the bridge collapsed into the river from the explosion. "I know this place on the edge of the red light district where we can lay low, but my hands are all messed up, so you'd better take us there brother." 8-ball said to Link after breathing a sigh of relief. They got up on the horse and rode it into the city as the horses of the Hyrule Guard started to approach.
The place they were at was the industrial and the ghetto areas of Hyrule City. The majority of the gangs who run this part of the area are the Sheikah Mafia. The Mafia is made up of several families, but the most well known are the Forelli and the Leone family. The ghetto areas and part of the Red Light District are owned by the Stalfos Diablos. The Diablos and the Mafia have a weak alliance but sometimes there has been some bad blood spilled between the small time pimps of the Diablos and the owners of the whorehouses of the Mafia. Newcomers to the area from another country were the Lizalfos Triad gang. The Triads had built a sort of Lizard Town in their turf to have a part of home in their eyes. However the Triads are far from friends with the Mafia and the Diablos who view the newcomers as a threat and annoyance.
Link and 8-ball had spent hours looking for this hideout because it wasn't easy to find but they had found it. "This is the place right here, c'mon let's get off the road and find a change of clothes." They had gotten off the horse and ran inside the little cottage. After an hour they came out in different clothes. Link was dressed in a green tunic underneath a dark green coat, he also wore cream colored pants and kept the brown boots from his dungeon stay because he found them comfortable. 8-ball came out wearing a blue cloak. "I know this guy, he's connected, his name's Luigi, me an' him go back so I could probably get you some work, c'mon let's head over there." Link nodded and they got on the horse and rode it towards the whorehouse of the Mafia, where Link could perhaps get work and possibly make a name for himself.
