Chapter 12: Hunting for Freezard
Outside Gradil's shop, Link pulled out his Gossip Stone.
"Zelda, it's me. You there?" said Link.
"Link? Where are you?" was the reply.
"Skull Woods. I got my bow back. Where do I go now?"
"I think you should look for Freezard," said Zelda. "He's up where Zora's Domain should be. He holds the Sub-Zero Sapphire."
"Thanks. I'll let you know when I've found him," said Link. He opened the door to Gradil's shop.
"Gradil!" he shouted. "I gotta go, you done with the Mirror yet?"
Gradil walked up to Link.
"Here," he said, handing the Mirror to Link.
"What does it do now?" he asked.
"It now warps you from any place in the Light or Dark World, to the same place in the opposite world," he said proudly.
"Thanks," said Link. "Well, I should be going."
Link left the shop, and set off northwards.
A few hours later, Link arrived at the Icy River. Upstream he could just see the waterfall, with a huge ice statue in front of it. He began to walk up, when he spotted a blue Octorok. It blew a stream of ice at him. He quickly chopped it up, and took some of its tentacles.
"Gradil might need these," he said to himself.
He continued upstream, killing the Freezoroks as he went, until he was near the waterfall. He approached the huge ice statue, then realised it was moving.
"Who dares intrude in Freezard's Domain?" it roared.
"The Hero of Time," replied Link. "I'm here to see Freezard. Would that be you?"
"You are quite correct," boomed Freezard. "You shall never take my stone!" Freezard stood up, smashed the frozen waterfall and stepped through an entrance behind it.
"Typical," said Link. "They always have to do things the hard way."
He jumped to the cave entrance and walked in.
