You awake in a vast grassy field. You find the lush environment to be utterly teeming with all kinds of wildlife. Horses frolic through the meadows and birds chirp to the breeze. A heavy sense of nostalgia courses through your veins. You can't resist the urge to reminisce on prior memories of Hyrule Field. Almost right on cue, a familiar piano melody chimes in.
Finally, home sweet home.
You experienced the same dream-like vision while sleeping on the train. The only element absent was Zelda's uncanny voice. The infamous words burned into your memory...
Wake up Link
But alas, no such dialogue is uttered. Only silence occupies the atmosphere. You frantically shout for Zelda's name, frightened by the quiet ambiance. Instead of receiving a reply, your met with a clamor of boisterous chanting. Suddenly, a faction of Gerudo warriors floods the evergreen pasture. They wave torches and pitchforks in the wind. Within seconds, the once peaceful farmland is converted into an active war zone. The rich soil is transformed into a dusty desolate wasteland. The tribe of Gerudo warriors carries a burning effigy through the sand. The straw puppet bears a shocking resemblance to you. It's even clothed in a blue tunic and sports blonde hair. A cold shiver crawls down your spine, accompanied by an intense feeling of uneasiness. Your heroic name is tarnished in a blink of a eye, and a single truth is made apparent...
You were now public enemy number one.
Amidst all the chaos, a small beacon of hope endures. A Silent Princess elegantly blossoms within the scorching desert soil. You extend out your hand attempting to touch the flower's glossy petals.

You suddenly regain consciousness.
Riju and Daruk stand over you, concerned. "Are you okay?" Riju asks, slowly nursing you back to health. "What happened, pal? You just kinda zoned out there," Daruk adds. You come to your senses, directing your attention to the clawshot firmly wrapped around your wrist. "Oh that, while you were unconscious we were able to decipher the shiekah hieroglyphics on the weapon," Daruk explains. "Yeah, apparently this clawshot has the ability to pierce a Molduga's impenetrable hide," Riju boasts. Daruk butts in again, "It also suggests that a Molduga can withstand a powerful sandstorm, it may be your guys ticket to Gerudo Town." "Okay then it settled, we now have our next objective," Riju says standing pridefully.
"Oh wait, one more thing brother," Daruk says pulling you aside. He lowers his booming voice, "Riju was pretty distraught when you blacked out, she even started cr-
"Shut up shut up shut up" Riju squeals. "Stop spouting such fallacies, I did nothing of the sort," Riju states, noticeably flustered. "Um... okay, I gotta go now folks," Daruk panics. "No you don't, get over here you..." Riju proclaims.
"I'll catch ya two love birds later!" Daruk says abruptly fading from sight and evaporating into a haze of tiny particles.
"Love birds... I..um... what a creep right." You shoot her a suspicious glance, spotting her red puffy eyes. "I'm extremely calm and calculated under pressure," Riju says concealing her runny nose. You maintain an attitude of skepticism, alluding to Daruk's teasing. "Fine, if we're love birds then I'm the...
Glorious flamingo, and your the...
Bumbling Ostrich."
