Lerap led them to a huge rock outside of Goron City. There was sign labeled, "Dodongo's Cavern".
Link, however, pointed to the rock in curiosity and asked, "What's that?"
Lerap laughed and slapped Link on the shoulder.
"For a second there, I thought you couldn't read!" Lerap laughed, pointing to the sign.
Link looked very uncomfortable.
Lerap went over towards a Goron who was trying kick the big rock to pieces.
Link quickly unsheathed his sword and cut the sign off cleanly and cheerfully smiled at Lerap, who turned back to Link at the precise moment the sign went flying off.
"Well, our top Goron can't seem to get rid of this rock. Sorry guys, but I have to get back to Goron City. Good luck!"
Lerap rolled into a ball and made his way up the trail.
"Impressive," Link concluded, "-such incredible speed. Gorons must be adapted to their mountain home."
Navi stared, goggle-eyed at Link. "Did you...did you just..."
"Yes, Navi? I beg your pardon, but I did not catch the last of your wise, wise words."
Navi nearly fainted. The conversation rang in her ears, the conversation between to the two fairies, Ed and Bob, the most popular fairies on CFN. A thought came to mind.
"Link! Punch the rock with all you got!" Navi ordered.
"Why, Navi," Link chortled, "-that'd be frankly impossible to destroy the rock with only pure manpower."
Navi knew that random time of strength and intelligence wouldn't last long, and her head was getting dizzy with all the smart talk.
"Just punch the stinking rock!" Navi screamed. Link looked surprised at this outburst.
"Of course, my dear Navi, but my calculations say that-"
"PUNCH IT!"
Link looked disgruntled, but punched the rock.
There were several growing cracks in the rock now. Four were growing at an alarming rate. Link backed away.
The rock crumbled into several smaller pieces, leaving the entrance clear.
Link looked dizzy. He swayed slightly, and then suddenly woke up. He straightened himself up.
"Yo, what happened, Nav?"
Navi was amazed. It was like Link had two completely different personalities.
"Hey, cool! The entrance is open!" Link ran in the other direction towards Kakariko Village.
"No, Link! The entrance is over here!" Navi cried out, regaining her senses.
"Oh, right." Link started running back. The Goron, however, halted him.
"Holy Farore! How did you do that???"
"Do what?" Link asked, confused.
"You punched that rock to pieces!"
"Me?"
"Yes, you!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"I don't think so."
"You did! I saw it with my very own eyes!"
Link got this strange, blank look. Navi looked carefully at it. It looked as if Link was struggling with something.
"Link?" she said softly.
"What? No, I didn't." Link told the Goron.
The Goron frowned, and then sighed. "Hmm...well, go in...we're wasting time."
The strange look in Link's eyes disappeared, replaced with the same usual spark.
The pair entered Dodongo's Cavern.
Author's Note: Should I make Link serious when he turns into an adult?
