Heh, forget it. That's probably not what you're
here to talk about.

Is that some kind of helmet? Looks solid
and sturdy!

Hey now. Quit staring at me.

I'm back to training today.

Hey, do you wanna hear about some of the
monsters I've defeated?

Great! So do you want to start with the Skulltula,
Deku Baba, or Mad Scrub?

Isn't it startling when a Skulltula just drops down
out of nowhere?

Of course, they're always drooling, so be on guard
if you see something dripping from above.

And if you look closely, you can spot their
shadows. Any swordsman who falls for such an
obvious trap isn't a true swordsman at all!

What about the Deku Baba and Mad Scrub?
Which one do you wanna hear about next?

When you defeat a Deku Baba, it'll drop a
different item based on where you struck your
fatal blow!

Defeat it by hitting its head, and it'll drop a Deku
nut. Defeat it by hitting its stem, and you'll get a
Deku stick.

A true swordsman defeats this monster
strategically to get just what they need!

All that's left is the Mad Scrub. Do you want to
hear about it?

So, you wanna know how to defeat a Mad Scrub?

When it spits a nut in your direction, you gotta
deflect that nut with your shield.

If the deflected nut hits the Mad Scrub, it'll faint!
That's when you rush in!

Wow! You're a really good listener. Come back
whenever you wanna talk monsters!

Got it. Maybe another time.

Alright, see ya!

All that's left is the Deku Baba. Do you want to
hear about it?

What about the Skulltula and Mad Scrub? Which
one do you wanna hear about next?

All that's left is the Skulltula. Do you want to hear
about it?

What about the Skulltula and Deku Baba? Which
one do you wanna hear about next?

You're back?

Guess you're interested in hearing about the
monsters I bravely defeated, eh?

If you have time to kill, I'd be happy to tell you
about the monsters I defeated in combat!

Hey, it's the swordsman! How've you been?

I doubt there's anything I could teach you, but
I've got plenty to share about the monsters I've
encountered...and defeated!

W-wow! That's a cool sword, mister! Are you a
swordsman like me?

I may be smaller than you, but I'm stronger than
I look!

That's right! If you've got time, I can tell you all
kinds of stuff about the monsters I beat!

I can tell you're a swordsman! Maybe you can help
me find Saria.

She headed straight for the Forest Temple. If you
climb those vines, you'll find it just beyond the
Lost Woods.

My friend Saria hasn't come back from the
Forest Temple...

You have to go through the Lost Woods to
get there.

But there are all kinds of strange monsters along
the way. The Kokiri, well, we aren't strong enough
to make it that far.

Hey, mister! Cool sword!

Wh-whaa?!

This guy's...huge...and wearing something...weird.

Wh-who are you?!

He's...he's...huge!

Listen, I need your help!

My friend Saria hasn't returned from the
Forest Temple.

I want to go after her, but that place is swarming
with strange monsters.

Those guys were never around before now...

Anyways, the Forest Temple is just beyond the
Lost Woods. I hope you'll help me!

Please help!

Is that...an adult?

Whoa!

What's with those silly goggles? It's not the most
intimidating look, you know.

What's that thing on your face? Do you always
wear that?

Ooh! Scary face! Is this some sorta strategy to
intimidate your opponent?

I can't read the expression on that mask! Is that
some kinda strategy to hide your thoughts?

Those are some long ears! Is the strategy here to
make yourself look bigger?

What if I never get stronger? All I ever do is the same old
training routine...

That face is kinda silly... Are you sure it doesn't
make you look weak?

What a spiky mask! It makes you look strong!

That's a tough-looking-girl mask! Nice choice for
intimidating an opponent.

Oh! That mask is pretty cute! I don't think it's that
scary though.

Huh? It's Link! Hold on... What? Is that a mask?

Huh? What an unusual mask. Where'd you get it?

Oh, um... It's you.

Next time you're falling from a high spot, just tuck
your body and flip, and you won't get banged up.

Of course, it doesn't work for super high cliffs, but
it's still pretty helpful. Ever tried it?

What's up, apprentice? Back to hear more of your
master's genius?

If it isn't my favorite student! Back to learn more
from your favorite teacher?

Let me think... What else can I teach you?

I got it! Ever fallen from way high up and gotten
pretty roughed up on the way down?

What? You're all done training?

That's the spirit! Show me what you got!

Understood! Let's dive right in, Link!

Well, I'm always happy to train, so come
back anytime!

No problem. Whenever you need a lesson, I'll
be ready!

Hey, apprentice! Wanna learn about a special
move you can do with your sword?

Pay close attention.

You gotta jump and swing your sword at the same
time. That's the key to the special jump attack!

Watch carefully...

This is kinda dangerous, so stand back.

I'll show you how it's done.

Try to do this...

First, you target the scarecrow. Watch this next
part closely...

Jump high...and slash! Jump attack!

All that momentum does a lot of damage! With
this attack, monsters don't stand a chance.

Go up to that scarecrow and try to land a hit on it!
First, you target it, and then when the moment's
right...jump attack!

Is that what I think it is? Could it be the sword
that was hidden back there?!

Excellent work! I'm not surprised, given you're
MY apprentice.

Now I can show you a special move to use with
that sword!

Huh? Ready for something else?

So, what do you wanna do? Targeting move,
side jump, or backflip?

Where to start... Let's talk positioning!

You'll need your fairy's help for this, so you both
gotta stay sharp!

Let's say your fairy flies toward a monster... What
do you do next?

Move around and target your opponent!

Master this, and fighting'll be a whole lot easier.

Try targeting that scarecrow while shifting around
on your feet.

You got it!

A side jump is just what it sounds like. You use a
quick jump to dodge sideways.

Jump to the side!

I'll show you one more time. Eyes on me!

It's so satisfying when you get it just right!

Your turn. Use that scarecrow over there.

OK, listen carefully.

A backflip is a type of jump used to dodge while
moving backward!

Jump back with a quick flip!

When I get the timing just right...I feel so cool.

There's another move I wanna show you, but
you'll need a sword first.

In the meantime, we can always review the skills
you've learned so far, Link.

There's the targeting move, the side jump, and
the backflip! Which one do you wanna practice?

My apprentice is back!

You ready to keep learning how to fight monsters?

I like hearing that! I've never been happier to call
you my apprentice.

We've already been through the backflip... Next is
the side jump!

We've already been through the side jump... Next
is the backflip!

With targeting under your belt, you're ready to
learn a few practical moves for combat.

We've got the side jump and backflip! Where do
you wanna start?

Where to start... Let's talk positioning!

Good answer! Listen up.

For real? I never thought I'd hear this kinda talk
from ol' sleepyhead Link!

Let's get started before you change your mind!
I won't go easy on you!

C'mon! Let's keep training to fight monsters!

You're here to see the master Kokiri swordsman
so you can learn how to fight monsters!

You wanna learn how to fight monsters from THE
master Kokiri swordsman—me!

Hey hey, Link!

What's going on, Link? It can't be... No way!

On your back, that must be...the sword that was
hidden back there!

If you're here with that sword, it can only mean
one thing.

What's going on, Link? Let me guess...

The Great Deku Tree is gone...

It's up to master swordsmen like me to protect this
forest now.

Wanna go over the basics or the special move
with me?

Of course! I'd be happy to go over the basics with
you again.

We've got the targeting move, the side jump, and
the backflip! Which one should we do again?

Right, the special move. Also known as the
jump attack!

If we're gonna take care of this forest, we need to
keep our moves sharp!

Wanna go over the basics or the special move
with me?

Come back to review your moves?

And you too, Link! Hey, how 'bout we review the
moves I taught you?

Link, that was awesome!

That was spot-on! Perfect!

That's it!

Looking good!

It looks so awesome when you do it, Link! You
make ME look like the apprentice.

Any other moves you wanna review? I can teach
the same moves as many times as you need!

You've got the hang of it now! I'm amazed at how
far you've come!

That was kinda different than how I did it...but
you still dodged backward. Whatever works!

Try it again. Repetition is key to building
muscle memory!

Do another one just like that! Before long, it'll be
second nature.

What an amazing side jump! I'm proud to call you
my apprentice!

Since you've got a sword, Link, there's one other
special move I can teach you.

I'd be happy to share my genius, if you're ready.

There's another move I wanna teach you, but it's
a lot harder than what we've done so far.

I only ever teach it to my strongest pupils, if they
can wield a sword...

Link's been working so hard... Could he be ready to learn the
secret of the sword?

Listen up! I'm gonna tell you something only I
know—the secret of the sword!

You've heard about the hidden sword that's
somewhere in Kokiri Forest, right?

Well, the thing is...

I think it's hidden on the other side of
this passage!

I'd get it myself, but small spaces creep me out...

If you find that sword, I'll be able to teach you the
special move!

We have one more jump—the side jump. Ready
to get started?

We have one more jump—the backflip. Ready to
get started?

That was beautiful! I can't believe that was your
first try. You're a natural!

That backflip was beautiful! You looked so cool!
I can't believe you're just learning!

You picked that up pretty quick, Link. Now that
we've covered the basics, let's move on.

It'll get tougher from here on out.

With targeting under your belt, you're ready to
learn a few practical moves for combat.

We've got the side jump and backflip! Where do
you wanna start?

Ah! Good try!

Nice job, Link!

Uh-huh! Just like that!

I really like your moves! But next time, target
the scarecrow.

Try again! You got this, Link!

You got the next one! C'mon, Link!

So, you weren't targeting the scarecrow. But other
than that, your moves looked good!

But you forgot to target the scarecrow...

I was hoping to see you in action. Well, come by
whenever. I'm happy to show you what I know.

You got this! Try that again!

Woo-eee! Lookin' good!

Oh, wow! Well done!

You need to target your opponent throughout a
fight. If you can do that, you're in good shape!

Your form's looking good, but you gotta land that
jump attack on the scarecrow!

I only have one note, Link. You gotta land the
jump attack on the scarecrow if you want to see
how it feels to use this attack on an enemy.

Your jump attack was incredible! I'm a master, and
even I was blown away.

You've mastered everything! I knew you could do
it, Link! I have nothing more to teach you!

I hope you'll swing by whenever you wanna train!

What? Quitting already, Link?

Oh, ha... You're probably not here to chat
about what you're wearing.

Remember to target.

I see you, scarecrow...

To the right...then left.

Hah!

Yah!

Hyah!

One more time!

Let's do this!

Now for the backflip!

Ready, set...jump!

Jump attack next!

Swing high! Slash down!

Whew... I need a break.

Worked up a sweat.

A little off...

Too slow.

Nailed it!

Again!

Get away! Quick!

Backflip to make room...

Try it again!

Finish 'em off!

Next? Side jump!

Shift side to side!

Huh?

You're back!

Gotta keep practicing!

I can do better...

Is it over?

Phew...

H-huh?

Crazy weather...

Huh? What're those things covering your eyes?
Where do you even buy something like that?

I'd worry with a mask like that, the horns might
get in the way during training.

Oh? Trying to protect your face with a mask?
That's a pretty good idea.

Whoa! You got me! That's a scary-looking mask.

Wow. Those ears give you a lot more height. You
even look a little stronger...

Hm?! I sense danger!

Huh? That's a silly-looking mask.

Interesting. Wouldn't wanna hit that mask by
accident. Looks painful.

Whoa. That lady looks tough.

Huh? Whose face is that painted on your mask?
There's something different about her...

Is that Link? Wait, it's a mask. I'm confused.

H-huh?

Crazy weather...

Is it over?

Phew...

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

I know that one.

It's Saria's Song!

It's our favorite song.

Mysterious...

Interesting.

Is that an original?

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

Nice song.

Cool...

You're good!

No way...

Stop!

Huh?!

Hot!

Ugh!

It's hot!

Wah!

Hey!

Bright!

Guh!

Whoa!

Oof!

Wah!

Hey!

Cold!

Huh?

Hey!

Wah!
