Chapter Nine: Navi Guides The Way

" Thank you…" whispered the little fairy. Link could barely believe that the tiny voice had come from the fairy. It sounded so timid, shy, almost afraid, and that was exactly the way the fairy looked at Link, too.

" Don't mention it. I just hope you can help me find the Isle of Sirenia." replied Link.

" I know where it can be found, but it isn't in one place for long."

" Well, I hope we can find it."

Diego sniffed and wiped away an imaginary tear. " That was so sweet…But could you hurry it up just a tiny little bit?" asked Diego, emphasising his impatience with his fingers.

" You ruined the moment, Diego!" shouted Zelda.

" That is just bad form." tutted Ganondorf.

" I've been waiting 5- I've been waiting a very long time for this, and I won't let a little sentimentality slow things down! So hurry up and get going." said Diego, adding the last part to Link.

" Okay. So, I've got to go to the Isle of Sirenia and defeat Gorganaut, the Ogre King, to collect Din's Harp, right?"

" Right." answered Diego.

" But the isle isn't in one place for long, is that it?" Link asked Navi.

" That is correct…" replied Navi timidly.

" So, I'll have to sail in my boat to the Isle, and I've also got to find a musician that can play the instrument?" said Link, going over the mission in his mind.

" Yes."

" But after all of that, I have to return so you can check that instrument is correct, and the musician is worthy?"

" Yes. So get going already!"

" I don't know how to get out of here. Again." said Link.

" Right, right. Instead of me having to play my Summoning Melody every time you finish getting an instrument, I'll create a Warp Patch. It's an enchanted piece of land that will send you to one certain place at a time. So, I'll create a Warp Patch at the side of Hyrule Castle, so you can use it whenever you wish to warp to the Holy Stage. There, you will find me with Zelda, Ganondorf and Grandma. Remember, if anything goes astray…" Diego made a beheading gesture with his finger.

" Okay. I know what I have to do." replied Link.

Diego sat down, and began humming once more. As he did, a small, strange shape that glowed appeared in front of him, probably a glyph of some kind. When Diego hummed louder, the Warp Patch also grew in size, until it could have fitted several men into it.

" There we go. Navi, I leave it up to you. Do not disappoint me." warned Diego.

" I will not." whispered Navi.

Link stepped with Navi into the Warp Patch, and saw Hyrule reappear before his eyes for the second time, which Link was rapidly being accustomed to. When Hyrule Castle appeared, Link spotted the Warp Patch glowing just to the side of the castle. Link also noticed a palace guard patrolling the front door.

" Ah! Hero of Time! You frightened me, sir!" gasped the guard.

" You…What was your name again?" asked Link.

" Tim Olsen, royal guard of Hyrule Castle, sir!"

" Thank you. Tell the other guards not to patrol the west wall." warned Link.

" Why not, sir?" asked Tim curiously.

" It is a matter of…unusual circumstances, but the guards must not patrol the west wall."

" You have my word, sir." replied the guard, saluting.

" Good."

A/N: I realise now that the story may be a little confusing with directions and so on, so I'm describing the set of the story from the Wind Waker map's point of view.

Outset Island is now Hyrule Castle, and no longer an island. The entire bottom two rows are all connected, with the land reaching up to three squares north. Two squares north of Outset is the coast of Hyrule, which reaches diagonally left to connect with the rest of the land. The top three rows of the map is sea, with Greatfish Isle also being an island. The Isle of Sirenia and the other currently un-named islands are exactly in line with Hyrule Castle, with the Isle of Sirenia up north, and the other islands east, south and west.

The reason behind the massive change in the map is that the Deku Trees that you sprout in the game have grown into forests that connect the land together.

If you have any problems with places, please let me know, so I can sort it out.
