Chapter 4: Questions and Answers
The Wolfos ran faster and faster with Link barely holding on to his back. They traveled through dense forest and passed under waterfalls until they got to a small hut in the middle of a small clearing.
"We're here, Link. Go inside and I will explain everything."
Link entered the hut and found it adorned with many trophies, knick-knacks, trinkets and a book filled with faded Picto-Box photographs of islands and monsters long forgotten.
"Why does a Wolfos have all of these things?"
"Because I'm not a Wolfos. I'm Link, The Hero of Winds."
"What? How can you be him? You must be joking."
"This is no joke. I was transformed into a Silver Wolfos by one of the Elemental Giants that protect this land. There are 5 giants, one for each element. Fire, Water, Earth, Light and Darkness. But, there are 5 who oppose the power of nature. They are the Wraiths, human opposites of the Giants who seek to take over New Hyrule and destroy the Giants. They are the five people we fled from. You know the Fire Wraith as Prince Drake. You must use the power of Nature to save New Hyrule. This is the Elemental Blade.
Wolfos Link pointed to a beautiful, gunmetal grey sword with a five coloured crystal on the tang. It was stuck tight into a stone.
"Why did an Elemental Giant transform you? Why is the sword stuck?"
"It won't come out until the true Hero of Nature plays the Requiem of the Elements. I was transformed to ensure that I could pass this information on to the true hero. This is the Requiem."
Link learned Requiem of the Elements!
"Play that on the Harp of Light and the sword will awaken."
"Wait. If I'm getting this sword, why did I need the Master Sword?"
"The Master Sword is a requirement for awakening the Elemental Blade. Its power to destroy evil will recharge it."
"I understand."
Link started to play his harp, carefully playing the melody the other Link had taught him and suddenly, a beam of multi-coloured light came out of the Master Sword and hit the Elemental Blade! It slowly rose out of the stone and floated towards Link's hand. He caught it and sliced it in the air a few times, testing its power.
"Wow. So what do I do now?"
"You must venture to the Elemental Temples and ask the Giants to give the Blade their power. This will protect them from the Wraiths and give you the strength to defeat them and bring peace once again to New Hyrule."
"Ok. Thank you, Link. I will restore the land and save its people."
Link exited the hut and found Epona waiting for him.
"Your horse is quite intelligent. She found us about 5 minutes ago. Good bye, Link and good luck."
"Thanks for your help."
Link rode off on Epona, with the Silver Wolfos who was Link, the Hero of Winds watching and hoping for the future of New Hyrule.
