"Uhhhh…" Link said, without the energy to speak. "Ut ha hec?"
(What the heck?)
He had to struggle to open his eyes. Looking around was a different task altogether. He then realized what was happened earlier and looked for something that would tell him where he was, like a flag post or building. It looked like he was in a cave.
And he couldn't see anything that resembled a landmark.
However, he did see a figure in a black and grey tunic.
"Good, you're finally awake. You hit your head quite hard on the rocks back in the valley. You've been asleep for some time now."
"Air I?"
"Don't try to talk in full sentances. You're in an underwater cave, after you dropped out of concousness, I took you here to rest. Here, I'll show you in a flashback if you're up to it."
"'Oh, is ohay." Then mustering all his strength, he made a quick pun. "Oil 'than."
(No, it's okay.) (Oil Can.)
Mudd eyebrow. I mean Mudd raised one eyebrow! Why can't I think straight? Link mentally slapped himself.
"The Wizard of Oz? You're kidding me."
"Can I 'ave my nee back?"
(Can I have my money back?)
"I saved your life. I think I earned it." Mudd replied. He has a pretty good grasp on reailty.
"Afer you pu' it in danger!" Link tried to yell. It was exhausting.
"Tell you what, you can have half of what I took. Like I said: I need this money. More than you can understand." Mudd was also raising his voice.
"What… you 'ose it all in bet?"
Mudd walked the green clothed man. I mean Mudd walked over TO THE green clothed man.
"Take this and go back to sleep. You need to rest." Then he said something Link had to strain his ears to hear, giving him two purple rupees (Not fake). "I liked you better asleep better."
Link slowly rose to his feet, shaking. "If you won't give it all to me, I'll fight you for it!" He then slowly rose his sword.
"You're kidding me right? You can barely stand! Are you brave or just plain stupid?"
"You know what? I'm both."
Then link collapsed from exhaustion.
"Tsk tsk."
() () One
( oo) Day
0() Later:
Link woke up again, wondering what happened, than it hit him like two tons of steel and iron bricks droping on his head from fifty-five feet high. What, You never heard that one before?
"Good, you're finally awake. You hit your head quite hard on the rocks back in the valley. You've been asleep for some time now."
"I know. You told me."
"Good, no sense of déjà vu. Now what's the capital of Termina?"
"Clock town… holy Din my head hurts."
"Yes, that's natural. Now what's twelve-hundred times eighty-two?"
"Can I just have something to eat?"
!#&()!#&()!#&()!#&()!#&()!#
Mudd later took Link out of the cave (having been assured that he was up to it). He couldn't belive Mudd actually said that he could go when he asked.
Link then almost instantly regretted asking, he had forgot it was an underwater cave. He was forced to hold his breath for three minutes.
You don't think that's much? Try it.
Link's head bobbed above the surface, gasping for air. Mudd wasn't having similar problems though, he seemed to actually was quite relaxed after being in the lake water.
"Why are… you not…-"
"I'm part zora. To me that was like a breath of fresh air. I could go much longer, in fact… although I have a limit."
"Amazing." Link had met actual zora before, but he was astounded by a part-zora. "About how long can you hold your breath?"
"I'd say about five hours. Six tops."
This guy keeps getting more and more interesting.

Later that very same day:
"That was the best dinner I had in a long time." Mudd said.
It was earlier that day Mudd and Link found their horses and had dinner. Normally Mudd would have simply walked away, not careing what happened to Link, but he felt he owed him. Link offered to cook if Mudd started the fire (for obvious reasons) and the swordsmen made one of his best meals yet.
"You know, it's ironic. Had you never robbed me, we wouldn't be here, eating this."
"Yeah, and you know, I feel like I've known you for a very long time."
Apparently, that sentence angered Link.
"You do not know anything about me. All you did was heal me from my concussion. That you caused."
"I know more about you than you think." The black-clad figure said. "I can tell because you dropped your guard almost the moment we met. You also speak to your horse like it is a human, and your hat was filled with mostly ripped pictures of other people. I'm guessing that some died. For others, things don't come around very often. I know more about you than you think."
Link closed his eyes, walking back to his cabin, the speech playing in his head relentlessly.
Finally Link came to a conclusion about what he heard:
He's right.
