The lift took Link down to yet another of the shrines built like combat arenas, and as he stepped forwards into the antechamber he braced himself.

I am Dah Hesho, the Monk introduced himself. I offer a minor test of strength.

Link let out a breath, relieved, then put down his Slate and flicked through to find the weapon he was going to use.

Making his selection – a reasonably good metal sword – he advanced into the chamber, and a Guardian Scout came up on the platform.

It raised a blue axe, then Link pounced on it and beat it to pieces with his sword.

Well, that was quick, Dah Hesho said, as Link unlocked the treasure chest.

The moment it opened, the lupine hero decided that the shrine had most certainly been worth it. The pawful of bits he'd recovered from the Guardian wasn't worth much, but the oversized Ancient Core almost as big as his torso had to have some kind of use.

Probably several, and Purah would tell him about all of them as soon as she got the chance.

It makes you wonder, really, Dah Hesho added. All this time waiting, and then you beat the trial in such a short time… well, I'll sort out your orb for you.

Link nodded his thanks.

Really, though, he should have started with one like this. It would have been a much easier opening than a Modest Test.

One Spirit Orb and one Ancient Core richer, Link solved a Korok puzzle involving apples and then loped to the cliff-edge not far from Dah Hesho's shrine.

There was a mighty lake to the north, with a spot out in the middle connected to the mainland by a narrow path, and then not far from the lakeshore there was a forested area. With…

Link crouched down a little, to get a closer look, then brightened.

That was the kind of flower bud that Cotera had been in, which meant Link was fairly sure he'd just found another Great Fairy.

That made the choice to jump off the cliff an easy one, and he floated down into the grotto on his glider before landing and approaching the bud.

"Pup," a voice said. "Pup! Please, hear my plea – I am the Great Fairy Mjja. My power has faded… all I need is five hundred rupees to restore my power…"

Link already had a Silver Rupee out, but when he heard the amount he stopped.

Opened up his Slate again.

Then pulled out four more Silver Rupees, grumbled something about inflation, and gave them to the Great Fairy.

There was an explosion of magic, and the now-restored Great Fairy splashed out of her pool.

"Ah~!" she sighed. "Thank you, pup! Though, hmm… oh! I can sense a little of Cotera's magic on you… and I can feel that one of my sisters has already been restored! It seems like I have you to thank, pup… now, how could I thank you…"

She brightened. "Oh! I could enhance your clothing!"

That was something Link was pleased to remember, and he flicked through his Slate to get out the various clothes he'd been given.

"Hmm, hmm…" Mija said. "Yes, I can definitely enhance some of those… it's going to look adorable, pup!"

Link wagged his tail.

Mija tapped the bandana, then the set of trousers. "To make those climbing clothes fit you, I think I'll need to enhance them twice. For each piece that's going to need me to use three Keese wings, three Rushrooms, then five Electric Keese wings and five Hightail Lizards."

Link's tail stopped wagging.

He was… fairly sure he didn't have enough Keese Wings for that, and that he'd fried all the Rushrooms he'd found.

"Oh, don't look so glum, pup!" Mija said, as Link gathered up the clothes again. "I'm not going anywhere!"

Link headed north and east, at first, then turned to move straight north along the road as soon as he encountered it.

There wasn't much to see, with the terrain being nearly bare as he went past the northern limits of the lake, and before long Link had settled into a ground-eating lope that let distance fly past under his paws.

It also gave time for Link to think, and specifically to think about his overall plan for what he was going to do.

He had a need for better protective equipment, of course… and there were the Divine Beasts to purify… but Link had been operating without much of a long term plan so far. Oh, it had been going quite well, so far, and he had plenty of spirit orbs to turn in to a statue of the Goddess Hylia, but if he was going to save Princess Zelda he probably needed some kind of plan.

Admittedly he was a bit low on information, as yet.

Running let Link turn the problem over in his mind, though, and he decided that he was probably getting quite close to the north-eastern end of Hyrule. The volcano in the western distance signalled somewhere he probably shouldn't go just yet, since he wasn't especially interested in the smell of burning wolf fur, and to get to the rest of Hyrule would probably mean going back south and west.

Now that Link was thinking about it, he should probably also visit more Sheikah Towers. Not having a map of the area was probably hampering him a bit, and it could mean he was missing places where there would be obvious benefits from a simple look at the map.

The ground climbed to the north, and Link followed the road as it took the simplest, smoothest path up the hills.

As he got near the top of the crest, his Slate began to chirp, and Link moved back and forth a little before homing right in on the shrine.

If this was another Test of Strength, especially a Major one, Link was going to be quite annoyed.

As it turned out, the shrine of the monk Katosa Aug was not a Test of Strength.

It was worse.

There was a pedestal that Link had to activate with the Slate, and then by moving the Slate he could move a large hammer. The hammer could strike an orb, knocking it across a pitch and into a hole, and the solution to the shrine was so obvious Link could see what to do in seconds.

The problem was that the hammer was unintuitive, finicky, temperamental, and in general a source of absolutely extraordinary annoyance.

Moving the Slate gently from one side to another wouldn't knock the ball hard enough. Doing exactly the same thing with slightly more force would send the ball flying well past the hole and out of sight… or send the hammer whistling past the ball as if Link had turned the Slate by sixty degrees or so between swings, even though that was absolutely not what he had done.

Tapping the pedestal with the Slate again reset the ball but not the hammer, and moving the hammer into position for a strike often scored a perfect hit in the wrong direction which sent the ball hurtling into the void.

Link thought it really was amazing how hard a simple sounding puzzle could be, at least when he wasn't discovering how many swear words existed in the wolf language.

He might also have invented a few new ones by the time he finally knocked the ball so it teetered on the edge before falling into the hole. That activated a floating platform to take him to Katosa Aug, and Link did his level best to calm down before actually reaching the monk.

As he approached the ancient Sheikah, though, he noticed something odd about the ceiling.

Only half the shrine was in front of Katosa Aug. The other half was behind them, and Link sighed deeply before walking past the monk.

I don't see why you're so annoyed, the monk muttered, and Link shot him a glare before reaching the second puzzle.

It was, of course, another hammer and ball one.

Finally – and with great relief – Link watched as the second ball locked into its hole, then went to get the contents of the chest that was his reward.

It contained a giant Frostblade, a very big sword infused with freezing energy, and getting it meant that Link had a complete set of elemental blades… at least until he broke one.

That wasn't the same as making him charitably inclined towards Katosa Aug, though, and he glared at the monk before raising a paw and wiggling it about.

Did you want me to provide an alternative challenge in case you were a fish, too? Katosa Aug asked. Challenges aren't meant to be easy.

Link's eye twitched, and the monk seemed to take warning from that. He put the orb down and dissolved, and Link watched him go before taking the orb.

Still shaking his head, Link emerged from the Katosa Aug shrine.

Then he saw that there was a stable right outside it, spotted a lit cooking pot, and loped over to it.

There were screams of panic, and the Hylians who'd been sitting outside ran indoors, but Link had more important things to do and spent the next three hours cooking.

Now with a great deal more cooked food, mostly from things that hopefully wouldn't later be needed to turn Hylian clothes into Wolf clothes, Link left some apples as thanks for the loan of the cooking pot and headed north along the road.

His mental map said he was quite far north already – certainly the angle of the volcano to his left indicated that he was further north than anywhere else he'd been so far – and the road was a pleasant enough journey, lined with trees and with wildlife chittering in the branches.

There was also a decayed Guardian, like the ones he'd seen on the Plateau, and Link beat it to pieces with one of his ancient axes before picking up the pieces.

That job done, Link continued – only to find a familiar-looking design of building at the end of the road, atop a headland with cliffs on all sides.

It looked a lot like the Ancient Tech Lab from Hateno, and Link walked all around it to inspect it. There was another one of those ancient furnaces, which wasn't lit, because of course it wasn't, and… a very large pile of wrecked Guardians a little way to the east.

Link went to pick up what parts he could find from the rubble, then spotted a kind of giant stone maze off to the north. It looked like it was a bit further than he could glide, and there were the obvious signs of some kind of flying Guardian there, so he noted the location for later before knocking on the door of the Ancient Tech Lab itself.

He barked, politely, but nobody responded. Then he pushed the door open, and found that the lab didn't have anyone in at the moment… but there was some kind of Sheikah-technology construct in the main room, a little like a statue of a person but not very.

Link's head tilted as he inspected it, the door closing behind him, and he reached out a paw to tap it.

"Beep," it said, distinctly, then went silent.

"Aha!" a voice declared from behind him. "An interloper!"

"Robbie, that's a wolf, not an interloper!" someone else said, sounding much more worried.

"So?" Robbie asked, as Link turned around and saw that Robbie was a rather short elderly man wearing a pair of goggles. "What stops a wolf from being an interloper? What stops an interloper from being a wolf?"

He pointed at Link. "And you are definitely an interloper!"

Link tilted his head, then held out his paw.

"Oh?" Robbie asked. "What's this?"

He leaned closer. "My word! That's the triangle symbol from the Royal Family's crest and the Master Sword!"

"Are you sure?" the woman asked.

"Of course I'm sure, Jerrin!" Robbie answered. "I took notes! Then… hmm…"

He stroked his chin. "Aha! Then – this must mean that you're claiming to be none other than… Zelda!"

Link shook his head.

"Oh, well, I was quite sure of that," Robbie mumbled to himself. "Then perhaps… you're Link?"

Link nodded, satisfied that Robbie had got it.

"Preposterous!" Robbie said. "Link was a Hylian!"

"And Zelda wasn't?" Jerrin asked.

"Well, of course it makes sense that the Princess – well known to have magical abilities – would be able to change her shape," Robbie said, dismissively. "But for Link to be able to do the same thing? I'm going to need proof!"

Link rummaged in his fur, and brought out the Sheikah Slate.

"Hmm, well, that's more of a Zelda thing really," Robbie replied, with a shrug. "I hope you've got something better than that! In fact… what would really convince me is seeing the scars from your battle a hundred years ago!"

There was silence for several seconds.

"Beep," the Sheikah statue thing said, distinctly.

"Doctor," Jerrin said, carefully. "If this is Link, he's been turned into a wolf. Even if he still has the same scars, they're going to be under his fur."

"So?" Robbie demanded, but he did look contemplative. "Well, then, we'll accept that hypothesis for now – on a purely provisional basis! Now, if you are Link then there's something you can do for me, which is to light the blue flame outside!"

He waved his finger. "Take my advice! Beware of Moblins! Unless you're an imposter, in which case, don't beware of Moblins."

Link wasn't quite sure how to take that, but it did seem like something he'd have done anyway.

At least Robbie wasn't as overwhelming as Purah.

The source of the blue flame Link needed was, fortunately, not all the way back in Hateno.

There was a different blue flame source on the other side of a river, with the source itself on top of a hill and separated from the lab by a gorge, and Link looked at the direct route with care.

Based on his now-experienced eye, Link felt fairly sure that if he tried to glide that path he'd end up falling short and either having to scramble up a cliff face or falling in the river. Neither was appealing, so instead he threw back his head and howled.

The air answered, bringing a rushing wind blowing towards the hill, and Link took a run up before jumping. His glider snapped out, and the extra boost carried him over the gorge without needing to resort to clambering or swimming.

Quite pleased with himself, Link turned to look at the return route.

Unfortunately, it looked like the wind wouldn't suffice to let him carry a flaming torch that way… not to mention the inherent danger of flying while carrying a flaming torch… so Link shrugged, then got to the flame source and rummaged in his Slate for a torch.

Already, he could hear the sound of Moblins, but he had an… idea about that.

Ten minutes later, Link lit the lab's blue furnace with a feeling of satisfaction.

Simply running past all the Moblins and setting their knees on fire may not have actually slain the monsters, but the Blood Moon potentially bringing them back meant that Link wasn't especially bothered by that problem. His manoeuvre had kept the time taken down by a lot, and now hopefully Robbie would at least be willing to consider his identity.

A blue circle lit up in front of the lab, and Link wondered what it was for – then pushed the door open.

The Sheikah statue was lit up, now, and Robbie was fussing over it as Jerrin watched.

"The wolf is back, Doctor," Jerrin provided, and Robbie turned around before jumping back.

"Oh!" he said. "That was quick! Well, maybe you are Link… though it's strictly a hypothesis at this point. Still, even if you are Princess Zelda having been turned into an animal and lost your memory it's my job as an ancient tech researcher to help you out!"

He indicated the statue with a flourish.

"Beep," it said.

"This is an Ancient Oven!" he explained. "My finest creation! She can supply you with all kinds of Ancient Technology, entirely up to date for the modern day! All she needs is a supply of Ancient components."

He coughed. "andrupees."

Link tilted his head slightly, and made a barking sound.

"Ah, you heard that bit?" Robbie asked, chuckling to himself. "Ehehe… well, you see, my work is expensive… there haven't been any royal grants in a century… it's only necessary, you see! Still, I've got these for you!"

He put down a bundle of five arrows, with the regular arrowheads replaced by tiny ancient daggers.

"I call them Ancient Arrows! Extremely effective against just about anything!" he said. "However, they also do slightly explode when used, so don't count on getting them back."

Link took the Ancient Arrows, resolving to use them only in situation which deserved them, then gave the Ancient Oven a closer look.

"Beep," it stated. "Hello, FamiliarNameMissing! Insert ingredients."

A little display showed the options, and the costs, and Link was torn between licking his lips and wincing.

The armour in particular looked very useful. Highly resilient, specially designed to resist the attacks of Guardians… even though it was sized and shaped for a normal Hylian, Link knew how to resolve that problem now if he had the resources.

The problem was, a complete new set would cost nine Ancient Cores he didn't have, plus seventy-five other Guardian parts he didn't have, plus twice as many Rupees as a house.

The weapons looked worthwhile, as well, but Link simply couldn't justify a purchase, and he cancelled out of the order before shaking his head.

"Oh, well, that's all right," Robbie said. "Do come again!"

After departing the Akkala Ancient Tech Lab, Link headed west along the clifftops, since the coast curved sharply away from the previous northward trend.

This plan quickly turned out to have a disadvantage, which was that there was a Lynel roaming around, and Link opted to stay well clear of the Lynel by moving as far north as he could manage without actually dropping off a cliff.

Maybe if he'd been able to afford that extremely expensive and very flashy armour he'd have given it a go, but right now Link still felt like his best approach when dealing with Lynels was either to not get their attention or to run so far away that they lost track of him.

Fortunately, he didn't have to resort to the second of those two options, and after some judicious creeping Link got back to loping along the spine of the coastal cliffs.

Then he spotted the shrine.

It was off to the left, on top of a stone pillar that turned out to be in the middle of an oddly skull-shaped lake, and Link inspected it along with the cliffs around it carefully to try and judge altitudes and distances.

If he was going to make this work, he'd need to get the best possible combination of starting height and short distance, and after loping back and forth for a few minutes Link was fairly confident he'd got it right. He howled up a wind, then took a running leap, and rode the wind with his glider to end up on top of the pillar rather than hitting the side of it.

From this vantage point, the water of the lake looked quite unhealthy. Link was very glad he'd not made a mistake there.

Wet dog smell was bad enough, but combining it with the sulfurous smell of the water in the skull-shaped lake might reach the point of being able to dissolve the Sheikah Slate.

Once the shrine was unlocked, Link went inside, interested to see what the puzzle or challenge would be.

He hoped it wouldn't be a major test of strength, but he could cope with a modest or minor combat trial, while a puzzle that wasn't another Apparatus would be a nice change of pace.

Instead, when he arrived at the bottom of the shaft, Link found himself on a small rectangular island with nothing but a treasure chest and the usual monk.

I am Zuna Kai, the monk said, as Link looked distinctly unimpressed. By finding this place, you have already proven your worth.

Link tilted his head, and barked quizzically.

What? Zuna Kai asked. Do you have any idea how hard it is to set up a rumour which will last for decades without it being either forgotten or spread too widely? That was the whole point of the challenge.

Link continued to cock his head in confusion.

You… you did come here because of the rumour, right? Zuna Kai asked. The Sinister Eye of the Skull that sits, made from water and stone? Sinister being an archaic word for left? The mineralizing water meaning that the water is making stone over time? You… don't have any idea what I'm talking about, do you?

Link shook his head.

You just went past and saw the shrine, didn't you? Zuna Kai asked, sounding resigned. I don't know why I bothered, really.

Link wanted to say something, but the monk beat him to it. Yes, I know that as far as you're concerned I haven't bothered. There was this whole mystery that you didn't get, I didn't just… oh, whatever. There's a flameblade in the chest if you need one, and I'll get you your orb.

Leaving the shrine, Link contemplated the jump he'd need to make to get back to the edge of the skull lake, then shrugged and decided to go back south instead.

He'd been nearly as far north as you could get in Hyrule anyway, while approaching an active volcano still seemed like an excellent idea if what he wanted was the most radical fur trim ever conceived of, and that left a journey south as his remaining option.

Starting by gliding south to a small wood, Link gathered up some more Koroks, then made his way along the edge of the volcanic slopes from there. It gave him a fairly level path to take, and one where he was unlikely to get lost, and the first time he considered maybe going back down into the plains he saw another Lynel ambling about in the middle of another small wooded area.

Link declined to take that particular option.

The curve of the mountain led him around to the east, then the spur of rock abruptly ended and the mountainside cut back to the west, but that was where Link parted company with the volcanic slope – because there was a deep, steep-sided hole in front of him, and inside the hole he could see a watery spring and a statue of the Goddess.

It was a moment's work to glide down into the spring, and Link splashed into the water before sloshing his way over to the statue.

He barked, once.

A soft, ethereal light shone down from above, and a soft voice spoke to him.

Offer Dinraal's scale received from the red spirit to the Spring of Power.

Link tilted his head a little, then barked again.

The statue was silent.

Link wasn't quite sure how to take that, and sat down on his haunches. Then stood up again quite quickly, because he'd sat in a watery pool and ended up quite wet.

He barked one more time, just in case, and when the Goddess or her statue declined to give him a Heart Container he made a wruff sound and turned to leave.

Who was Dinraal, anyway?

Emerging from the area of the spring, Link quickly had to dart into cover as one of the flying Guardian Skywatchers passed overhead not far from him.

There were two others he could see, as well, all of them patrolling what looked like an old quarry, and Link really had to wonder if they'd been put there specifically as some kind of trap.

He considered using his Ancient Arrows on them, but he only had three and they were probably better saved for an emergency rather than used on a fight he didn't have to pick. That decision made, Link checked their flight patterns, then slipped out of the quarry as the sun set.

From there, Link found a road, and followed it south between the massive bulk of the volcano to his right and a ridge to his left. It was clearly a commonly used trade route, and Link spent a few hours clearing out one of the nests of monsters before noticing that there was smoke seething from the ground.

He looked up, already guessing what he was about to see, and saw the Blood Moon just as it reached its zenith.

Link, I have had an idea, Zelda told him, her voice reaching his ears. We can communicate through code. Bark once for yes, and twice for no. Do you understand?"

Link barked, but before Zelda could reply their connection faded – and the monsters were back.

Sighing, Link picked up one of his new weapons, and did the whole thing all over again.

At the top of the pass, Link found another shrine, and had to loop around to the south a bit to get on the right level before entering.

The first thing he saw on entering the shrine was one of the control points to connect his Slate to an apparatus, which was almost enough to make Link reject the shrine entirely, but unlike a Test of Strength he couldn't really come back to one of these later with a better chance of success.

Probably.

Fortunately, once he did link his Slate it turned out to be not nearly as annoying as the last two apparatus shrines. He had to move the plate around to make spiked sections slide away from a path, but it actually didn't take much experimenting to end up with a clear one to run across.

Then the second puzzle involved getting past lasers using moving sections, but Link found a considerable benefit from the fact he was a wolf and just did a running jump over the lasers instead.

Feeling smug, he moved on to the final part of the shrine, and this time it was a bit annoying. He had to move a flat section around so that there was one ancient orb on each of three switches, but thanks to what was probably good luck it took him about thirty seconds to solve.

You don't have to look so cheerful about it, the monk Ze Kasho protested, as Link went to get his orb.

Link disagreed.

On emerging from the shrine, though, Link looked up and to his left – in the morning light, it was much clearer than it had been last night that the hulking hill was either largely artificial or had been heavily built over.

It also had some flying Guardians buzzing around it, rotors whirling and beams of light searching the ground, and Link looked between the flying Guardians and the staircase he could see encircling the big fortification.

And the Sheikah Tower at the top.

He considered whether he should actually go through with the plan he'd suddenly come up with, then gave a lupine shrug and got moving.

If everything did go wrong, at worst he'd jump off the citadel and fly off… but he wanted to try his luck with sneaking past the Skywatchers. None of them seemed to be going as high as the top of the fortress, so if he got past them he'd be in the clear.

Link began at a lope, then had to fight a Moblin and some Bokoblins, and once he was done with them he had to dart back out of the way of a searchlight. That done, he watched the patrol of the first skywatcher for a long while, then – once he was sure he had the route – he sprinted past, slipping over the causeway to one side of the beam of light.

Fortunately, it turned out his guess was correct – the Skywatchers didn't decide he was a target if he didn't go into their beam. But the beam was sweeping towards him, so Link turned onto the stairs and began to climb.

There was another Skywatcher as he rounded the corner, then another, and a fourth right near the top. Link slipped past all of them, sometimes climbing the side of the path enough to get out of the way of the searchlight beam before running past, and within a few minutes he was at the top of the hill.

What he saw made him stop in his tracks.

The Sheikah Tower was expected, and so was the advanced state of decay of the buildings on top of the citadel – and the ruined Guardians that had destroyed them. Even the patrolling Bokoblins were something he'd been fairly ready for… but there was so much Malice here that it was not just visible but material, a kind of black-red substance that was a tacky combination of liquid and solid that dripped and clung and formed pools all around where the buildings had once been.

And it had an eye, which was looking at him.

Link made a face, then got out an arrow and flung it to hit the eye in the face on general principle. It popped, and at least some of the Malice dissipated into the air.

This turned out to earn him a bar of metal, which was probably going to be quite useful to make bridges over the awful stuff.

Moving the metal bar around with Magnesis, it turned out, definitely helped, though for Link using Magnesis was quite difficult and so it wasn't a solution by itself.

He used the bar to make bridges over the Malice, but at the same time he had to fight his way through several armed Bokoblins, jump and glide his way over gaps, and at one point shake Malice off his paw when he got a little too close to it on one particular glide.

It was tiring, but not instantly fatal, and Link ate a meal while he looked around and tried to plot his next move.

He couldn't help but wonder whether the Bokoblins could just walk straight through the Malice, since otherwise they'd have been stuck here more-or-less perpetually, but of greater concern was how to actually get to the top of the tower.

If he'd been a Hylian, he would have climbed up the side of the tower, but that wasn't an option… but he did have a flameblade and a lot of wood.

Wasteful as it was, Link made a pile out of about the same amount of wood as two good-sized trees, then set it on fire and used his glider to soar up the side of the tower. It worked, carrying him high enough to drop down and activate the tower, and his Slate filled with information about the area.

The area in question being the one he was about to leave, but it was still useful for when he went back there. He was sure he hadn't seen the last of Akkala.

Then Link looked around for points of interest, and set off towards a shrine to the north.

The shrine he'd seen turned out to be the shrine of Mo'a Keet, and Link was presented with a large channel down which a round boulder rolled at increasing speed that swiftly became deadly speed.

When it fell into the abyss, a new one soon replaced it, and Link was soon satisfied that the gap between one clearing the channel and the next one entering it wasn't long enough for him to simply sprint up.

That led him to sit down, and think carefully.

Climbing along the sides of the channel didn't seem like a good idea, as it would be too easy to fall… he couldn't do anything with bombs… the channel led up, so he couldn't glide effectively even if his wind song worked in here…

After some thought, Link used the Stasis rune to freeze the boulder at a clear spot, then loped up the channel before it unfroze.

The next part of the puzzle, however, was much harder… or, at least, much harder to solve.

Link worked out what he was supposed to do more-or-less immediately. There was a metal boulder and a large number of rock boulders that would knock him away and flatten him, if he tried to reach the monk, and his stasis would only work on one boulder – but the metal boulder was the key.

He could use Magnesis on it and use it to shove the other ones away.

The only problem was, that would mean a careful, agile and well-controlled use of Magnesis, and Link was – with the best will in the world – a wolf.

After thinking about it, though, Link eventually had an idea.

The Monk Mo'A Keet watched as several stone boulders rolled towards him, reaching the crest of the channel one at a time and bouncing gently around either side of his plinth, then finally a metal boulder followed floating a little above the ground.

Then it went clang as it dropped, and rolled to the side.

The lupine Hero of Hyrule stepped around the metal boulder, ears flat in annoyance and jaws wide open. Mostly because the Sheikah Slate was wedged in his mouth, projector facing out, until he sat down and extracted it with his paws.

Did you just… I see, Mo'A Keet mused. How did you turn the Magnesis rune off, then?

Link stuck his tongue out.

I'm glad I don't need to use that Slate before it's been washed, Mo'A Keet said, then put his palms together. I'll be honest, I'd have designed a different puzzle if I'd known you'd be a wolf.

That got him an all-over shrug.

AN:

Robbie doesn't have the option of asking Link to strip to prove his identity.
