People speak...
Long ago there existed a kingdom were
A golden power lay hidden.
It was a prosperous land blessed with green
Forests, tall mountains, and peace.
But one day a man of great evil found the
Golden power and took it for himself.
With its strength at his command, he
Spread darkness across the kingdom.
But then when all hope was dead and the
Hour of doom seemed at hand...
...A young boy clothed in green appeared
As if from nowhere.
Wielding the blade of evil's blane, he sealed
The dark one away and gave the land light.
This boy who traveled through time to save the land
Was known as the hero of time.
The boy's tale was passed down through
Generations until it became legend...
But then...a day came when a fell wind
Began to blow across the kingdom.
The great evil that all thought had
Been forever sealed away by the hero...
...Once again crept forth from the depths of
The earth, eager to resume its dark designs.
The people believed that the hero of time
Would again come to save them.
...But the hero did not appear.
Faced by an onslaught of evil, the people
Could do nothing by appeal to the gods.
In their last hour, as doom dwelled, they
Felt the hands of fate
What became of that kingdom...?
None remain who know.
The memory of the kingdom vanished but
Its legend survived on the winds breath.
On a certain island, it became Customary to
Grab boys in green when they come of age.
Clothed in the green fields, they are aspired
To find heroic blades and cast down evil.
The elders wished only for the youths to
Know courage like the hero of legends..."
-The introduction
Outset Island
Aryll-Big Brother!
Big Brother!!
Big Brothter!
I knew you'd be here!
hee hee hee! This is my FAVORITE spot to gaze out at the sea. When I play with the gulls, I call it "Aryll's Lookout!"
So, do you remember what day it is today?
...You're still half-asleep aren't you?
Did you forget?
Big Brother, it's your birthday!
That's why Grandma has been waiting for you to come back to the house! She's been waiting for a while now...
It's a good thing I came to find you.
You should probably go home and see what grandma wants, don't you think?
Outset Island Talk
Aryll-Hurry up, Big Brother! Grandma is waiting for you back at the house! And I'm sure everyone else on the island wants to say hello to you, too!
Mesa-'Hoy, Link! What's that? Today is your birthday? Well, Congrats, buddy! Are you that old already? Wow! Time just flies right by, doesn't it? You blink and POOF! There goes a year! Why I swear I just cut the grass in this field the other day, but now look at how tall it's gotten already... Say, do you want to try cutting it, Link? You'd be surprized at the things people drop in the grass. It's fun! It's like a treasure hunt. Except... you're going to need some kind of grass-cutting tool if you want to cut the grass. That's just common sense buddy.
I can't just let the field be, you know. If I did, The weeds would take control! Cutting grass is hard work, but it pays off! People leave The darnedest things in the grass, so if you go through the trouble of cutting it, you get to keep whatever you find.
Joel-'Hoy, Link! Hey is it true that if you just have a little courage an run as fast as you can,then you can jump to that rock over there? Huh, is it? Is it? Tell me!
Hey! Aren't you listioning to me? I've been trying to ask you...Is it true that you can jump to that rock over there just by running as fast as you can?I've gotta know, or I'll burst!
Wow...I hope I'll be able to jump like you some day, Link...
Abe-I just saw a wild...awild pig! Ooh! See? Look! That black one there...Don't you see him? This is perfect! My wife was just telling me how she really wanted a pet...You ready to go grab it, Link? Now, you can't just run up on it! Pigs are just too alert about there surroundings for you to just jog up and capture one. If you want to get close to one, you have to hold R to crouch and tilt (control stick)to crawl slowly up behind it. Slowly...You could also distract it with bait, I guess.
Remember, you can't frighten those oinkers! hold R to crouch and use (control stick)to slowly crawl uup behind them. And then POUNCE!!!...Or you could just give them bait.
Orca-'Hoy! Link! Press L right there and use A to talk to me! Try it!
That's correct. You're a smart one! You my friend, have just L-targeted me. You see, when you press L you can target certain objects. I, for one, use it quite often to talk to folks who are far away from me. Of course, even if there isn't anything around to target. You can press L to face forward, you know. It's quite handy, indeed. There are a myriad of other ways to use L-targeting, as well. Quite an ingenious little thing, If I do say so myself! Of course, that's not the only trick in my bag. Not remotely! I can teach you a few more things if you'll just climb up that ladderover there and drop by my room. The L-targeting you just did has a wide range of uses, my boy! Most certainly! For instance, you can use it to talk to far-off people, or if there isn't anyoe to target, you can use it to face forward quickly. It's quite ingenious, I shouuld say! If you desire the benefits of my wisdom, I can teach you many other things. Just climb up that ladder over there and come see me in my room for some expert tutelage.
Your growing up, Link, which means you're going to need as much wisdom as you can get from this point forward! And if you want to be wise, you must first know things! Now, I was born before you, so I know all sorts of things. Yes, I've been studing all manner of topics for many years now. Now, I can tell you're a smart lad... Lately, I've been thinking it's time for me to pass some of my wisdom down, and I think you're the one I'm going to pass it down to... Count yourself lucky, lad! Everything that you see tacked to the walls here is something that I've researched thoroughly. And before you ask, yes, I do know my filing system is odd. Organizational issues aside however, It's all extreamly useful information. You would do well to red it all very carefully. Reading leads to knowing, you know! Such a racket! Can't you keep quiet!? You've knocked everything off my selves, You drafted hooligan! Honsetly! The hooligan I'm referring to is my younger and much less intelligent brother, who lives just downstairs... He hates studying. All day, every day, the lout just exercises and pratices with his weapons. Does he exercise his brain? No! The brain's a muscle, too! ...I think. Anywayl, the only thing he DOES study is the art of fighting. Right now, for instance, he's been studying fencing and whatnot. As if that's of any use to anyone... He simply doesn't kno how to do anything besides exercise. I ask you, what's a brother to do? You're a smart lad, Link. You'll find that everything I've written down and taked to my walls will be very useful in life. A lifetime of knowledge, all for you! You just be sure to take the time to read it all through very carefully. If you don't you'll surely end up like that useless hooligan of a liile brother of mine who lives downstairs.
Sue-Belle-Oh, Link! Happy birthaday! Hey, did your sister, Aryll, find you? She was supposed to tell you that your grandmother is looking for you. Speaking of your sisteer, she saw me at work the other day, and she said she wanted to learn to carry jars on her head like me so she could help you grandma with chores. So...if you see her, tell her that all she has to do is stand in front of a jar and press A to carry it. To put the jar down, she just has to press R! Can you tell her that for me? The secret to lifting jars is to stand in front of them and press A. And don't forget to tell Aryll to set jars down with R, OK?
Zill-Umm... Your grandma was calling for you, Link. And so was my mom! So? So? What's for dinner at your house tonight, Link? Can you come up the hill later and play?
