Cycle 1: Foregn Land
Time: Dawn of the First day:72 hours remain
Tatl looked around freaking out "Wh-What? What?! Everything... just... reset?" she thought for a second "That means Tael is alive! Oh! The Mask Salesman said if you got your ocarina back he could turn you back. Did you already forget?"
Link shook his head and turned around opening the door walking into the clock tower.
"Hello friend. Did you get your precious item back?"
Link nodded
"Fantastic! Allow me to play you a song to heal you from this state." The salesman grabbed a sheet sitting in the back of the room and pulled it down revealing a giant organ.
"Woah... Why didn't we see that before?"
"I ordered it yesterday"
"Like... 3 days from now yesterday?"
"Yesterday like the day before today"
"Sorry we just traveled through time"
"I know"
"How?"
"I told you to leave 3 minutes ago"
"Oh"
"Now listen to what I have to play and play along."
Link pulled out his ocarina and looked at it
"You can't play that as a Deku... You need a new instrument."
"Well what do we do?"
"Give it here"
Link held it close. but eventually gave it over.
"Thanks now give me a second" The strange man played a song on the ocarina and handed it to the boy "Take it"
As Link touched it, it became a series of horns. He pulls it up to his face and starts playing it.
"Yes now play along with me."
The man played a song that messed with Links senses. He felt... good
"Now you play"
Link started playing the song again his senses being overwhelmed when he was brought to a dark void with a deku boy standing in front of him. It looked like Link but had 3 small sprouts on his head.
"Thank you for healing my soul."
"Wh-who are you?"
"The boy in the mask" He started floating away
"W-wait!"
"Goodbye!"
Link felt himself becoming normal again. He felt his arms his legs his... mouth. Oh god was he happy to have his mouth.
"Now do you have that which you promised me?"
"What?"
"Don't tell me... you did... get it back... didn't you?"
Link took a step back
"... You don't realise what you've done!" He picked up Link and started shaking him then dropped him "Oh god! That mask needs to be retuned to me! Otherwise..."
"Calm down man just please explain"
"That mask will be the destruction of the world"
"What?"
"Let me explain. Ancient tribes used that mask in their hexing rituals. The Ancient Ones realized it's dark power and sealed it away. Do you understandwhy you have to get it back?"
Link nodded.
"Good. Now go!"
Link looked down and picked up the mask of the Deku he had been.
"That mask will allow you to change to your old form at will, Yes, I give you this mask in commemoration of this day."
Link nodded and walked outside.
"The quickest way to the swamp is through the south gate."
"Yeah... Sorry about Tael"
"It's fine... He is alive now."
"I'll save him next time we go up there I promise"
"Thanks, Link!" she smiled.
He smled back at her and walked to the gate
"HALT! What buisness do you have in the woods?"
"We plan to stop..." Link pointed at the moon"... that"
"I can't let you into the woods, especially since you aren't even old enough to wield... a... sword? My apologies, sir, it was rude of me to call you a child. But do you really plan to stop the Moon?"
Link nodded wth dtermination on his face.
"Whatever you say..." The guard moved out of the way and link left the clock town looking over Termina with awe.
