Ichiro

Eek! Is that you, Boss?!

Wait... What?! That's just a mask?

Oh no! Was I spacing out?

So...was my information helpful?

Huh. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. Listen
closely now.

If you go beyond the fortress gate, you'll find the
Mirage Desert. But you can only cross if you have
something called the eyes of truth.

Don't forget it, OK?

Really? That's what I wanted to hear!

Good to see you!

Good evening!

Thanks for helping me out, pal!

How about I repay the favor with some secret
info about the Gerudo Fortress?

So...think that'll be helpful?

OK, OK. Enough with all the theatrics.

Such a peaceful melody.

Mm... Lovely song.

I was entranced!

This warms my heart...

You sound great!

You play beautifully!

Such a sweet sound!

Mm... Lovely song.

I was entranced!

The sound...sparkles!

Such talent...

That was enchanting.

What a cheerful rhythm!

You sound great!

You play beautifully!

What a strange rhythm!

Now, that's a new one...

Mm... Lovely song.

That's a pretty song!

You sound great!

You play beautifully!

It sounds so tranquil...

Mm... Lovely song.

I was entranced!

I like mellow songs too...

Such talent...

That was enchanting.

What a brilliant melody!

Such talent...

That was enchanting.

A pleasant little tune...

Such talent...

That was enchanting.

Uh... Those goggles are so unusual!

You know...they're kinda growing on me.

Heh! That's enough goggles talk.

Gah! No! Stop!

...Ugh. That mask had me thinking you were
some kinda suspicious troublemaker.

Eek! Is that...a monster?!

...Hold on. It's a mask?

Gah! It's a burglar!

...Ugh. Are you trying to scare me with that
creepy mask?

Aw! Cute ears!

But... Is it normal to have two big ears coming out
of your head? What a strange creature.

Gah! Those eyes!

Huh. But if I look closely, they aren't really yours.

Gah! You're so handsome!

Huh?! Now that I look closer, I see fins coming
outta your head. What a strange creature.

Gah! A Gerudo!

I always thought they were so brave and so
beautiful, but now I'm not so impressed.

Wow! Princess?! I'm a big admirer!

Wait... What?! That's just a mask?

Wow! What a cute kid!

Wait... What?! That's just a mask?

Is this the guy who helped me and my friends? Why's he
wearing this weird mask?

This is all my fault... I wish I never convinced the guys to try
and become Gerudo apprentices...

So, you guys ever heard of the Gerudo thieves?
They're run entirely by women!

Pretty cool, right? And inspiring too!

That's what I'm saying, Shiro! If we're gonna make
this happen, we'll need a plan.

I say we go straight to Gerudo Valley once we
get some time off and talk to the Gerudo, yeah?

What has he ever done for us? Except sit around
and yell at us day in, day out.

My mind's made up.

We gotta go to Gerudo Valley once this job's
over. Then we can talk to the Gerudo directly!

Eek! Is that you, Boss?!

Hey, kid. When did you get here?

Listen, our boss doesn't know we're doing this.
Tell on us, and you're toast!

We can't start until everyone's here... Haha! I'm
giddy with excitement!

Yeah, yeah. I'm nagged all the time. Can I get back to
work already?

Ugh. Why do I let him get to me? Just let it go in one ear and
out the other...

Feel free to tag along, but this doesn't really
concern you.

You wanna know where we're going? Haha! It's a
secret. Shh...

Hey, I gotta work right now. Let's talk later, OK?

Sorry, kid. Hard at work again today...

I'm back at work again... Eh, I'd steer clear if I were
you. A work site's no place for a kid.

Work, work, work... Day after day... When will
it end?

We've been building houses in this village, every
day, all day long.

If you take a break, the boss just chews you out.
It's never enough!

Ugh... Will it alwaaays be like this? Like, foreeever?

Aren't you hungry? Go home and get some grub.

At this rate, my life'll end up being nothing but
one long work day. Enjoy your freedom, kid.

You don't wanna end up like me. When you
grow up, get a job where you can make some
real money.

Listen to me, whining to a little kid... I need to pull
it together.

Have we met, kid? I'm a carpenter here in town.
Name's Ichiro.

I know we just met, but you look like you got a
kind ear. It's my boss, ya see. He's the worst!

So—forget it. There's not enough time in the
world. Gotta go prep for tomorrow's work.

For starters, he— Never mind. If I got started, I'd
never stop. Better get back to work.

The Gerudo...

There's so much to do!

Work, work, work!

You're in the way, kid.

Come on, now.

On to the next task.

Where IS that thing?

Ugh! He needs ME?

What next?

I'm starving!

I can explain!

Oh. It's just a costume. I hope nobody heard me
yell just now. Heh...

I'll gather everyone together! Let's go!

Would you stop looking at me with those weird
goggles? It's kinda rude, even if you are just
goofing around.

Gah! What are you?!

Eek! A...a monster?!

Gah! It's a burglar!

Eek! Your head's so tall!

WOW! A Goron?!

Gah! A talking fish!

I can't believe it! A real Gerudo lady!

Wow! Princess?! I'm a big admirer!

Wow! That face is...unexpected!

That mask makes my belly feel funny... Just pretend you don't
see it... Pretend you don't see it...

What if I just pretended to work and slacked off instead?
That wouldn't be fair to the other guys...

Gotta rest during what few breaks I have.

What is...

Aaahhh!

I'm soaking wet...

It finally stopped...

All you do is talk, talk, talk! What's that supposed
to teach me?

And by the way, I'm not Shiro. I'm Ichiro!

Eeeek!

You got a lotta guts to make it past those guards!

Use the guard's key to open my cell!

Whoa! You must be stronger than you look! How
else could you pull that off?

But now, uh... Could you get me outta here?

Over here!

Huh? Is someone there?!

Wait a sec!

I just wanna go home...
