Link, Tetra, and Leo are walking out of Lake Hylia to reach the centre of New Hyrule Field. "We have three shards of the Triforce of Courage, and we're about to get one more!" Leo said. "You can't say that until we find out where the shard is first," Link said. It was a few hours walk. It started to become night again. "To think just two days ago we were still on islands," Leo said. "I see it up ahead," Tetra said. When they got there, the construction on what used to be the ranch was finished. Link found a poster on the wall of the giant building.
" 'Come to the first ever New Hyrule Tournament! Anyone who choses to apply in the tournament must sign up by tomorrow afternoon!' Seems like a celebration of New Hyrule," Leo said. "It doesn't matter, we have to find that shard," Link said. "Uh... Link... I found it, but it may be hard to get..." Tetra said. " 'Winner gets this shiny Gold Artifact!' " Tetra read. "Just great..." Link said. "Guess that means we're going to enter," Leo said. "This tournament will take a long time to complete, we have to find other shards," Link said. "But if we don't someone eles will get the shard," Tetra said. "Alright, we will rest tonight and sign up in the morning," Link said.
As morning arose, people started to return to the building. "Registration should open in a while. People are starting to fill up the place," Link said. A few more hours passed and registration was opened up. "Name please," the reistrator said. "Leo," "Link," "Zelda" they said. "Ok, I have you all registered. Now here is a copy of the rules in the tournament," he said. Link took the list and they left. "All participants are not aloud to wear armour of any kind if it is intended for protection. No shields are allowed. Weapons are considered valid and may be used in the tournament," Link said. "Sounds like it will be hard to protect our selves," Leo said.
"It says armour isn't to be used if it is for protection but our iron boots aren't tied to this rule if we use them for wieghing ourselves down," Link said. "Why would we need to do that?" Leo asked. "Nvermind, it says the elimination round will begin at noon, that gives us a few hours to practice and think over our techniques," Link said. "There sure are alot of people here, I wonder how many are signed up for the tournament," Leo said. Tetra took a look at the flyer. "It seems there are about 120 or so people that are able to sign up and four arenas in which each arena will narrow it down from 25 to 2 contestants. 8 will move on to the final rounds," Tetra said. "We better start working," Link said.
