Chapter Seven
Nabooru is your mom.
Nightmare
Link followed Kafei into the fortress. Ahead he saw Kafei's gold Sun Mask sitting in a cage in front of a blue switch. Instinctively Kafei ran for it, but stepped on the switch, and the mask slid along a conveyor belt past several rooms toward a pit at the end. The door to the left of the mask opened.
"Now I've done it!" Kafei ran for the open door, but as soon as he stepped off the switch, the door slammed shut.
"Step on that switch!" he shouted. Ignoring Tatl's complaints, Link obeyed. The door opened and Kafei walked through it.
A series of puzzles followed; Kafei would have to press a switch on one side of the conveyor belt to let Link into the next room, then Link would have to open the door to Kafei's side, and so on. They could barely keep up with the mask moving ever closer to the trap...
They were almost at the last door when the mask slipped into the hole at the end. They could hear Sakon laughing. "Haha! My security system is impenetrable!" Both of them stood there shocked for a moment, then Kafei simply sighed and looked away. "We're locked in," he observed.
"We'd better leave," Tatl muttered in Link's ear. Kafei was staring in an expression of disbelief and despair like nothing Link had ever seen before. He could hardly stand to look at him.
"Anju is already fleeing to Cremia's ranch," said Tatl. "It's no use. We've failed."
"Shut up," Link hissed at her. No respect.
Kafei turned his face away.
"Just go," whispered Tatl. "Use your Ocarina. Get us out of here."
Link did so immediately. With the echoing notes, the scene faded, time wound back, three days were erased once more, everything started over from the beginning.
But he'd never forget that expression on Kafei's face.
