Come in.
It's alright.
Hello.
Have you come to see me?
We don't get many visitors around the castle anymore.
Well you're very welcome to come.
I am Princess Zelda,
of Hyrule.
It's nice to meet you.
How can I help you?
You want to hear the story of The Hero of Time?
I think I can do that for you...
What would you like to know?
Well, The Hero of Time has gone on many adventures!
Over mountains, through deserts.
Though on his last journey was
through time itself!
And he saved my very life.
His name was Link,
and he came from the Kokiri Forest.
He lived among the children.
No, he didn't originally come from the forest but,
it was destiny that brought him there.
I think we might have to go back a little farther...
A long time ago, my father,
fought to bring peace among the lands.
There was a great war ravaging and,
there were many casualties.
Many people fighting and dying.
He doesn't talk about it much, though...
I'm not even sure why it started, but
nations were at each other's throats.
Chaos gripped Hyrule as we know it.
Eventually my father
did bring peace to the land but
there are no wars without casualties.
A mother and a child
in a town gripped by chaos and fear and pain
fled in order to find safety.
But not before the mother sustained grievous injuries.
She fled and she found herself
unable to continue.
She collapsed.
Thinking of
nothing else but her child
she cried out to anyone who would hear,
"Please!
Help my child!
Oh, Gods, save him."
It's unfortunate that
she would never learn of her child's great destiny but,
it turns out that the Gods were listening.
The Kokiri say that those who enter
the forest become lost,
forever stuck, wandering.
Adults who succumb to this turn into the stalfos.
While their children,
inevitably become the Skull Children.
[manical laughter]
But this is not one of those stories.
It turns out that the Gods did hear her.
The mother had wandered and collapsed
into a meadow
where the Great Deku Tree stood.
The Great Guardian of the forest.
The Deku Tree heard her cries
and noticed,
that the boy was different.
He could sense a destiny
greater than even it's own.
So,
the Great Deku Tree
talked to the Kokiri,
and told them to raise the boy.
Teach him their ways. Protect him.
So that when the time came he would be able to fulfill his destiny.
Only eight years passed before his journey
was to begin.
So he was still a child but,
fate was calling
and he had to be off.
It turned out that I was the one
who would need The Hero of Time.
I was the one who needed his help.
I didn't even know who he was when I first saw him.
He was just some boy who had snuck into
the palace.
He was odd but there was something about him,
it was if I had known him my whole life
or in a previous life.
I'm sure he's still out there now,
on another adventure
somewhere.
Are you familiar with the Royal Family Treasure?
Yes,
The Ocarina of Time.
I have it here with me.
Would you like to see it?
It was this
very item that I gave to our hero.
So that he might save the kingdom.
This is what gave him the name.
For you see there are six
very special notes that can be played on this ocarina
to alter the very course of time.
How do I have it?
Well you see, time is a very funny thing.
That story? That I just told you?
The Hero of Time told it to me.
It never came to pass. Never has
never will.
Because once his journey was complete,
he used this ocarina to travel back in time.
To warn us of the parrels that would come in the future
and stop them from happening in the first place.
He ensured those terrible events would never come to pass,
so we would never have to endure them.
A true hero in my book.
Well
I let you in today because
I sense that you might have a great destiny as well.
I don't know,
something drew you here.
I'm not sure what it is but
you remind me of him.
Would you wait here?
I would like to offer you some items
for a journey that
I fell as if you might have to go on soon.
I'd like to make you a few potions.
It's not too difficult when you have the right ingredients.
Chu jelly.
Three different colors
for three different potions.
Please,
let me mix you some.
We'll start with the red Chu jelly.
Have you encountered any Chu Chu?
They look silly, but
they're actually quite difficult to,
to kill.
But when you do,
they drop this.
Which can be used to make different potions
for ailments,
weaknesses.
*jello mixing sounds*
This red one
will be able to rejuvenate you
when you're feeling weak.
Let me mix it.
*pleasurable clinking sounds*
*scoop*
*scrape*
You don't need too much
*jello mixing sounds*
This should react well.
And we can pour it into your very own potion.
There we are.
Give it a little shake.
And,
drink this when you're feeling weak.
It should fully restore your energy.
Your health.
Please, take this
I would like to make you two more if that's alright.
Next we have
the green
Chu jelly.
*jello mixing sounds*
Do you know what this one does?
This one restores your magical abilities.
I think you do have magical abilities.
Perhaps you haven't discovered them yet.
Please take one just to be safe.
*SUPAH JELLO MIXING*
Pour it into the bottle.
Set that aside.
Give it a little shake.
Here you are.
A green potion made from green Chu jelly.
To restore your magical abilities.
Please, take this as well.
I have one more that I would like to make you.
This one comes from the rare,
blue
Chu jelly.
*jello scooping*
You may find many red,
and green Chu Chu around but
the blue ones I've
had to store up quite a bit.
They're not too easy to find.
So this potion
will restore both your health and your
magical abilities.
Use it wisely.
You can always come back to me for more.
During your journey,
don't be afraid to talk to folks that you find.
You never know who can help you.
A hero must be brave,
kind,
wise.
You hold power that not many others hold.
*all the while jello mixing*
And with that,
pour this into the bottle,
shake.
Here's your
blue potion
made from
blue Chu Chu jelly.
Please take this.
That should be enough to get you started
on your journey.
I think these can help you.
Well you never know what you can run into out there,
who you'll meet.
Even though there is nothing to fear recently,
it seems as if evil always finds it way back into our world.
Even now the darkness gathers,
plotting it's next move.
Well,
someone must rise to face them.
and while I pray you must never see such hard times,
being prepared is always a good thing.
I hope you enjoyed hearing my story.
But, I must go for now for,
a princesses duties never
really seem to end.
But, come back again sometime.
I can tell you more about the Hero of Time.
Goodbye.
Good luck!
