VampireLady006: Thank you for your review. It's good to see that people still enjoy my work. I'm sorry that I have taken so long toupdate and I promise that I will never leave so much time between updates again.
As the class went on they learned about the races abilities and the environments that they live in. The idea of eating rocks, like the Gorons do, created a range of expressions ranging from the bewilderment of how anything can survive on eating rocks and wondering about how hard Gorons teeth must be. They also thought is would be fun to be able to roll and race like the Gorons do.
They found out that the Gerudo, a race of warrior women who were once under the rule of Ganon, but after he was sealed in the Scared Realm they distanced themselves from having anything to do with him and as far as the Gerudo are concerned he no longer exists. They also learned that the Gerudo have been known to walk into Hyrule town in search of 'boyfriends', they are a race of women after all, but what happens to the men after is unknown.
The Zoras and the Hylians were also covered, the idea of Hylians having long ears to listen so they could hear the God's was a well known fact, and the information on the Zoras was also slight the only information that was confirmed is that they are fast swimmers, can breath underwater and can dive to unknown depths.
'What about what is said in the legends?' Link said 'They say that a Zora can create a barrier around them which shocks anything that gets too close and shoot their fins like boomerangs.'
'We can't take everything the legends say at face value.' Tina explained 'Often in legends facts are altered over time and often exaggerated. If we believe the legend the hero travelled into an alternate world and was able to transform by putting on masks.'
Link had a look of anger but also one of realisation; the legend did tell of some implausible feats. He just nodded lightly and quietly said 'I guess.' One thing that he did know that Ganondorf and the Master Sword weren't just flights of fancy.
All of Hyrule knew that Ganondorf was back but where he was and what he was doing after his attack on the village was unknown. If one had travelled to a into a particularly deep valley in the range of Death mountain they would have seen Ganondorf overseeing the construction of the multitude of weapons that was need for his army, forged from the fires of Death mountain itself.
'Why must we stay in this stinking pit?' A moblin complained.
'We must prepare the weapons and armour that we will need when the time comes to invade Hyrule and destroy Hyrule castle. Once they see the best soldiers fall the rest of Hyrule will fall into place.' A fellow moblin responded.
'I don't believe the Ganondorf is the warrior he is made out to be. He maybe able to handle a bunch of villagers, but if he is so good why does he always get trapped in the Sacred Realm? A great and powerful warrior; who can be defeated by a mere child.' The moblin mocked.
'He was no mere child.' A voice came from behind him. 'He had the power of the Triforce within him.
'And how would you…' The moblin started as he turned round to see Ganondorf standing behind him '…know? 'He squeaked.
'If you question my skill, perhaps you would like to test me?' Ganondorf said grasping the hilt of his sword.
'N…n… no, master. I… was just telling him,' pointing at the moblin he was talking to, 'that was how the people of Hyrule might be thinking.' He said thinking quickly. 'After all a hero does always seem to arise to stop your plans.' He said quietly, his head bowed to make his words not be seen as a challenge to his authority.
'When I have regained my full power even the Goddesses themselves won't be able to stop me.' He said boldly and walked away.
The moblin exhaled loudly and turned back to his work. 'Where have I heard that be…squeal!' He said as before he could finish his sentence he was turned into a pig by the magic of Ganondorf.
'Suckling pig tonight men!' Ganondorf proclaimed.
Meanwhile back at the school:
'Trust, Link to believe in those fairy tales!' Mido yelled.
'They're not fairy tales they're legends!' Link responded.
'A legend is a fairy tale plus time!' Mido retorted
'Actually a legend is a narrative of actions that are believed to have taken place within history and possess qualities that make it true to life.' Fado said flatly breaking into the argument.
In the brief silence that was created by both Link and Mido staring at Fado. Partly in anger and partly in bewilderment about what he had said.
'Thank you for that definition, Fado.' Tina said slighty bemused herself. 'Mido keep quiet and Link, I would appreciate it if you would not encourage him'.
Link turned back so he was facing the front of the class and both he and Mido muttered inaudibly.
The rest of the lesson went along with no further complications as Tina explained about the Deku and the Sheikah. She explained how the Deku are usually viewed as enemies of Hyrule, in truth they are a neutral race who choose the side they view is best for them. They are most well know for shooting Deku nuts and charging high prices for common items. The Shiekah were a race of Shadow Folk who protected the Royal family. Although it is said that they all were killed in the Great War, there are stories of an act of betrayal from the Royal family and that it was at that time when their tears were added to the Sheikah seal.
'Since this is the first day of school. I'll be generous and let you all go home early.' Tina said. Everyone started to stand up. 'Before you go' Tina added, 'make sure you remember what we studied today as there will be questions on it tomorrow.' With that everyone filed out of the building and headed home.
