Horseback-Archery Attendant

Hey! Hylian!

If you want to practice horseback archery, you
have to check in here first!

You play well.

It's catchy, at least...

What's that instrument?

Quite nice.

What's that instrument?

What's that song?

How moving...

Not bad, I guess.

A song from your home?

Never heard that one.

Not bad, I guess...

I really liked that one.

Never heard that one.

Not bad, I guess.

A song from your home?

Never heard that one...

Not sure I liked it.

A song from your home?

Quite nice.

It's catchy, at least...

I really liked that one.

This song is familiar...

My spirit stirs...

I really liked that one.

Quite nice.

It's catchy, at least...

What's that instrument?

Never heard that one.

A song from your home?

You play well.

So...sleepy...

Not bad, I guess.

You play well.

Go on—try it!

You better not miss!

Think that'd scare me?

You've lost your mind!

Put out the flames!

Behave yourself!

Why, you!

You've lost your mind!

How overconfident!

Ack!

Guh!

It's a fight, then?!

You're done!

Why, you!

Now you've done it!

The session is over when you run out of arrows or
make a full lap around the course. OK, let's go!

You'll be using the arrows we lend you. The
session ends when you run out of ammo or
make a full lap around the course.

Alright, it's time to start!

The closer your shot lands to the center of the
target, the more points you earn.

Aiming for the pots in the foreground is also a
valid strategy.

Hold your horses. I'll make my way to the
range shortly.

The longer you chitter at me, the longer it'll take
to get the range open.

Welcome! You're just the person I was hoping
to see!

Your horse seems ready, and you've got your
game face on! I bet you'll really nail it!

How are you feeling? Want to do another round
for 30 rupees?

I don't have any prizes left for you, but you can
still earn more rupees.

Alright! I'll take those rupees now.

Thank you for your patronage! OK, let me get
things set up. Hang tight.

Now hold on. You don't even have enough rupees
to play, do you?!

Huh. I was ready to cheer you on and everything.
What a disappointment...

I can tell you as many times as you need, but I'm
just repeating myself at this point...

This is a traditional Gerudo competition with a
storied history. The rules won't be changing... But
I'll tell you again.

In horseback archery, the goal is to hit the targets
while mounted.

You'll be provided with 20 arrows. We've got them
on hand for your use.

The closer you are to the target, the more points
you'll earn. Practice is over after you make one full
trip or if you run out of arrows.

We're all out of prizes, but earn 1,400 points or
more to be awarded with 50 rupees!

Well? One round for 30 rupees is a great
deal, huh?

Earn 1,400 points or more, and I'll give you a
bigger quiver!

And we've got prizes, of course! Earn 750 points
for a Piece of Heart!

Earn 1,400 points, and I'll give you a bigger quiver!

Want to hear the rules again? No problem. OK,
listen up.

You'll have to come back another time. I love
seeing such excellent teamwork!

Aw, but we haven't had anyone do this in so
long... How disappointing...

How are you feeling?

It's a joy seeing you two run the course, but I'm all
out of prizes.

If you're willing to pay 30 rupees to use the range
each time, you're welcome to keep practicing.

One round of horseback archery will cost 30
rupees. You should try for the special prize!

How are you feeling? Do you want to practice
again for 30 rupees?

There's still a special prize waiting for you!

One go around the range is 30 rupees. We've
got prizes for high scores! Give it a try! It's worth
every rupee!

Seems your horse is ready and raring to go too!
You'll break some records for sure!

Oh wow, your friend's coat is looking luscious
and glossy!

Clear proof that you treasure her.

That must be why the two of you got such a
high score.

Now, then...

Oho, lucky you!

You've got the Horseback Archery Range all to
yourself. You can get cracking right now!

I've already said I won't allow a beginner without a
bow to try the archery range.

If you want to practice here, you'll have to go find
yourself a bow first.

Don't you have better things to be doing with your time aside
from playing around with silly masks...

Welc—

Hylian.

This range isn't simply here for your amusement.
It's also an area where a rider and their beloved
horse test their bond.

If you're such a beginner that you don't even have
your own bow, I'm certainly not going to allow
you to practice archery on our range.

I won't stand for a horse getting injured just
because some novice wanted to mess around.

If you want to practice horseback archery, you'll
need to bring along your trusty steed.

If your bond is strong, then your horse should
come rushing to you whenever you call.

I can't stand Hylians. But that sweet girl from Lon Lon Ranch
was pretty decent at singing...

I recall my beloved horse liked her singing too.

Hm? Where's your friend? You know, your horse!

We don't rent out our own horses here. If you
want to practice horseback archery, you'll need
your own beloved steed.

If your bond is strong, then your horse should
come rushing to you whenever you call.

You can keep coming here, but I'm still not going
to rent you a horse.

If you want to try out the archery range, you'll
need to call your own horse over.

If your bond is strong, your horse should come
running when you call.

Oh, I should also mention...

if you're such a beginner that you don't even have
your own bow, I'm certainly not going to allow you
to practice archery on our range.

I won't stand for a horse getting injured just
because some novice wanted to mess around.

Er, hold on.

Where's your horse companion?

Horseback archery isn't some game. It's an
opportunity to test the trust between a rider
and their steed.

So you can't rent a horse from us here. If you
want to try out archery, you'll need to call your
own horse over.

My companion comes thundering to my side
whenever I call out for her.

Look. If you don't smell like a horse, I don't have
the time for you.

If you want to try out horseback archery,
head over to Lon Lon Ranch and find yourself
a companion.

Speaking of, I wonder how that sweet girl at Lon Lon Ranch
is doing...

I can't stand Hylians, but her singing wasn't half bad.

No offense, but you don't quite smell like
someone who hangs out with horses.

You... You've never cared for a horse before,
have you?

This range isn't simply here for your amusement.
It's also an area where a rider and their beloved
horse test their bond.

If you want to try out horseback archery, I suggest
you head to Lon Lon Ranch and find yourself
a companion.

How do you like my horses? Lovely, aren't they?
They are steeds of the highest caliber.

Owning a horse is quite the privilege among
the Gerudo.

Although, these days, not very many Gerudo
seem as interested in tending the horses...

Be that as it may, I'm sure eventually everyone will
be back to admiring them as much as I do.

I'm certain the mighty Ganondorf is leading us
toward that outcome... At least, that's what I
tell myself.

You sure you can see straight with those things on?

Don't come crying to me if you trip over yourself.

Sorry to disappoint you, but we only allow people
to practice horseback archery while the glorious
sun is shining.

When it's dark like this, your horse can't see well
and is liable to end up with an injury.

You'll have to be patient. We open when we
open. The sun will rise when it's good and ready.

I hate to disappoint you, but if you're here to try
out horseback archery, the range is only open
while the glorious sun is shining.

When it's dark like this, your horse can't see well
and is liable to end up with an injury.

It's a skilled activity where you earn points by
hitting targets with a bow. All while on horseback,
of course.

It costs 30 rupees per round.

To sweeten the deal, we've got extravagant prizes
for those who attain high scores.

Just bear in mind that you can't participate in
horseback archery without a horse.

If you don't have a horse of your own, you may
want to head over to Lon Lon Ranch and see if
they can help out.

You scored time points, huh?

Well even a master archer like you must have
off days.

But you're just getting started, I'm sure. Don't give
up now!

Want to try again for another 30 rupees?

Look at you go! You're on a roll!

Want to try again for another 30 rupees?

Only time points? Hahaha! Seems like you've got
a ways to go.

You won't earn any prizes until you can score 750
points or more.

You're no ordinary rider. I'm thoroughly impressed
by your time points!

Impressive riding! You clearly know your way
around horses.

Scoring time points is nothing to sniff at!

I can't remember the last time I felt this excited.

This is very well earned by you, my friend.

If you manage an even better record, I'll provide
you with a larger quiver.

With your skills, you'll have it in no time. Come
back and try again, yeah?

Just a minute... Can this be right? Did you actually
score time points?!

I figured you could do it! It's unsurprising,
considering your glorious steed.

Look, your 50 rupees, as promised. Go on, then!

You're not half bad! I knew you had it in you.

I never thought I'd see the day where I'd be
handing our best prize off to a Hylian...

Truth be told, I didn't expect you'd take every
last prize!

At this point, I'm fresh out of items that are
worthy enough of your skills.

So instead, I'll offer you 50 rupees if you earn
1,400 points or more.

Since you've earned at least 1,400 points, I'm
happy to reward you with this too!

Almost time to open...

Try out some archery.

The range is closed.

I feel like a person only hides their face when they feel guilty
about something...

Well, it's not really my business, at any rate.

Those eye coverings... They don't look too bad.

We had prizes to offer, but you swooped in and
claimed them all...

You know, we could create accessories based
off of my beloved horses and offer them up as
prizes here.

But I'm not so sure the mighty Ganondorf would
permit such frivolity.

I know the mighty Ganondorf is anything but kind to people,
but he does have a soft spot for horses...

But...there's no way he'd permit us to adopt ideas
from outsiders.

Those ears... They don't look too bad.

That mask... It doesn't look too bad.

I know the mighty Ganondorf has a soft spot for horses, but
he's anything but kind to people...

Apparently the guards are never permitted breaks. So glad I get
to work here at the archery range instead!
