The Second Voyage Of The Farore's Wind

After his first excursion on his new ship went, well, not as planned, Wind decided that if he was going to have a serious, salty sea adventure, he would have to bring along a crew who knew what they were doing and who wouldn't get seasick. So, after receiving a few "no"s (Light simply laughed bitterly and slammed the door in Wind's face when he asked), he finally got three of the more mature Heroes, Sky, Time, and Twilight, to join him.

And for the most part, the sailing was smooth; the three were excited to come aboard and did what they were told to help get the Farore's Wind on her way. As they circled around the shores of their paradise, however, Wind suddenly noticed that his crew was rapidly depleting in number. Again.

Irritated, he walked down from the captain's wheel and looked around. That was when he saw Time and Twilight goofing off near the rails with... fishing poles? He stormed up to them and gave them both a stern look.

"You two are supposed to be manning the sails," he chided. "And where's Sky!? He's supposed to be on lookout!"

Twilight pouted. "Come on, Wind, we've been out here for hours!" He returned his attention to his hook, tying a lure to it. "I say it's time we had a break."

"A fishing break!" said Time cheerfully, holding up a lure of his own to Wind.

The younger Hero sighed. "You still haven't told me where Sky is."

"Asleep," said the two simultaneously.

Wind shook his head. Of course, he thought, what else would he be doing? Annoyed that his crew was yet again acting insubordinate, he turned his back on them. "I swear, none of you people know how the first damn thing about sailing!"

"Maybe we don't," said Time with a frown, "but I don't think you know when it's time to have some fun."

"Time's right. You're taking this whole captain thing way too seriously." Twilight cast his line into the sea. "Lighten up."

Wind turned his head back over his shoulder, considering their words. Maybe they were right - maybe, after finally getting a ship of his own to command like he had always wanted, he let it get to his head. And, he thought, maybe a little fishing wasn't such a bad idea after all.

"...You guys didn't happen to bring another rod with you, did you?"

The two elder Links snickered. "That's the spirit!" said Time, pointing towards the entrance to the cabin. "There's one we got for Sky in there. I'm sure he won't mind you borrowing it."

"Thanks." He went inside, grabbing the fishing rod and joining Time and Twilight in the proud, heroic tradition of fishing for hours and hours on end.
