Heh... Guess that's enough teasing of children
for today. Ahem.

Now what's that mask supposed to be? If I find
out it's something unsavory, I will arrest you!

Hm? Oh, did you need help with something?

With that Hylian Shield equipped, climbing Death
Mountain will be easy! Isn't that right, Mr. Hero!

If you're climbing Death Mountain, you'll want a
Hylian Shield equipped first.

If you're climbing Death Mountain, you'll want a
proper shield. You can buy one in Castle Town.

Have you heard of the Hylian Shield? It's forged
out of metal, which makes it extra sturdy.

If you get caught under the falling debris from
Death Mountain's eruptions, you'll want
something stronger than wood. Trust me.

You should be able to buy one at the Bazaar in
Castle Town. Tell 'em I sent you—they'll give
you a special discount!

Take care now, Mr. Hero!

Oh! That's a Hylian Shield you have there, isn't it,
Mr. Hero?

Then it seems like you're ready for your climb up
Death Mountain. Now all that's left is saving
Hyrule. No pressure though. Hahaha!

If you find yourself back in Castle Town, the
Bazaar in the plaza sells some good equipment.
You oughta stop in.

Wait... You did get yourself a Hylian Shield, didn't
you, Mr. Hero?

Death Mountain is an active volcano, you know.
So it's best to equip a proper shield!

If you need more equipment, just head back to
Castle Town and stop by the Bazaar in the plaza!
That place has everything you need...and more!

Still haven't bought a proper shield, eh, Mr. Hero?

If you go back to Castle Town, the Bazaar in the
plaza will sell you what you need.

If you're climbing Death Mountain, you'll need to
present royal authorization.

If you happen to have something like that on
hand, you're welcome to show me!

If you want to get to the other side of this gate,
you'll need to present royal authorization.

Hahaha! As though you can simply go GET
royal authorization.

Hold it! The trail's closed! You need royal
authorization to pass. Can't you read the—

Wait...the sign...

The sign! It's been...vandalized!

Well, anyway. If you want to get to the other side
of this gate, present royal authorization!

Not that the royal family is likely to be handing
out royal authorization to random kids.

Hold it! The trail's closed! You need royal
authorization to pass. Can't you read the sign?

...

Hahaha! Sorry, were the words on it too hard for
you, kiddo?

Hey there, Mr. Hero.

So, about that mask...

How can I get a mask?

Hm?

Trail's closed right now!

By the way, Mr. Hero, I see you're properly
equipped with that Hylian Shield on your back.

If you ever lose your shield, you can always go buy
another one from the Bazaar over in Castle Town.
Tell 'em I sent you for a special discount!

And then, not that you owe me for the discount or anything,
but...if you wouldn't mind doing me a small favor, I'd really
appreciate it...

I hear a new place called the Happy Mask Shop
just opened up in Castle Town.

My kid has been pestering me for this popular
mask, but I haven't had the time to go get it...

If someone were to stop by, like on the way to the Bazaar, for
example, I would be grateful, but...I know it's a lot to ask.

B-but, Mr. Hero! I think there's still something
we need to discuss!

*sigh* I only need someone who's willing to go to
the Happy Mask Shop for me...

By the way, Mr. Hero... If you're going to climb
Death Mountain, make sure you've equipped that
Hylian Shield before you head out, alright?

By the way, Mr. Hero... If you're going to climb
Death Mountain, you'll want a proper shield.

It's an active volcano, you know, and the eruptions
send debris flying everywhere. You'll want
something a little sturdier than a wooden shield.

If you go back to Castle Town, the Bazaar will sell
you what you need. I'll even send word ahead so
they'll prepare a special Mr. Hero discount for you!

Then, while you're in town, there's a little favor I'd
like you to do for me, if you're willing...

That's right. It's a shop in Hyrule Castle Town that
sells pretty much everything you could need.

I actually know the shopkeeper personally. If you
need a discount on a shield, consider it done!

Not that you owe me or anything, but...if you wouldn't mind
doing me a small favor, I'd really appreciate it...

Whoops! It's about time I got back to work!

Good luck on your adventures, Mr. Hero!

Hey, about that mask...

Have you reconsidered?

Hey... The mask...

My kid will love this... I can't wait to finally get
home and show him what I got him!

Hahahaha! Quite the set of goggles you got there!
Do they let you see through walls or something?

Hahahaha! Taking a spin as the monster, are ya?
Well, don't sneak up on any guards!

Hahahaha! I'm shaking in my boots! Pfft!

Hahahaha! Cute ears. You wear them well! Pfft!

Hahahaha! A Goron, eh? If you're pretending to
be a Goron, you have to roll around in a ball!

Hahahaha! A Zora, eh? Oh, has my extensive
knowledge surprised you? Heh.

Hahahaha! Hey, that's one beautiful mask you got
there. I gotta say...I'm definitely a fan!

Hahahaha! Found another one of those masks,
did ya? Well...lookin' good! Pffft!

Hey! Are you running around in a Princess Zelda
mask? I could arrest you for impersonating a
member of the royal family, you know!

Hey! What're you up to now? Is that...a mask of
your own face? Explain yourself!

Hey, looks like Mr. Hero's got a mask of his own... It doesn't
hold a candle to my Keaton Mask though.

The truth is, my kid never asked for one of these masks... I just
wanted one for myself all along!

A storm!

What's going on?!

What is this?!

Whoa!

I'm soaked...

That was terrible...

Almost got blown away.

Why did that happen...

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Haven't heard this one...

I like it!

Strange melody...

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Pretty song.

You're quite good!

I'm impressed.

Princess Zelda's song?

Mm... So pleasant.

Amazing.

Whoa, whoa!

You wouldn't dare!

Stop that!

Hot, hot, hot!

So hoooooot!

Yowch!

My eyes!

Whoa!

What was that?!

What?!

Whoa!

Ngh!

Huh?!

Control yourself!

Hey!

Give up the mask, or the gate stays shut.

I'm sorry I was so childish... You can come and go
as you please now.

Ready to sell me the mask now?

I'll pay you what it's worth. Please let me buy it!

Hoho! Looks like your wallet is already stuffed!
Maybe you'd like to...give me the mask for free?

Thank you, Mr. Hero!

Oh! Looks like you don't have enough room in
your wallet for all these rupees... Do you want
to hand it over now, or would you rather wait?

You'll actually sell it to me? You're the best!

In that case, here's what I owe you...

Hmph... Well, I can wait! Standing around waiting
is actually a specialty of mine.

Oh? What's this? Are you ready to hand over that
mask of yours, Mr. Hero?

Hey-hey, Mr. Hero!

If you've gone out of your way to come back and
show me that key-whatever mask again, then...

I can only hope you've come around on the idea
of giving it to me... Have you?

Hmph... Did you come back here just to show off?
Well, perhaps we should try another round of the
waiting game, hmm? Think you can outwait me?

Hey-hey, Mr. Hero!

If I'm not mistaken, that's one of those
key-whatever masks you have on, isn't it?
I hear they're super popular these days!

The key-whatever guy is my kid's favorite.

Hang on... You didn't really go all the way to
Castle Town just to do me a favor, did you?!

Well, if it's not too much to ask... Could I buy it
off of you?

Oh, um... Was that mask you were just wearing...
one of those key-whatever masks? It was, right?

Well, if you were willing... Er, I mean, I would love
it if I could, uh... You know what? Never mind.

Oh! And, uh...if you go back to Castle Town, it'd
be nice if you could do me a favor and pick up a
mask for my kid at the mask shop...

Right! Have you seen the new Happy Mask Shop
in Castle Town? I haven't had time yet, myself...

My kid has been pestering me for this popular
mask, so if there were someone who had time
to go get the mask for me... That'd be nice.

It'd also be nice if you could do me a favor and
pick up a mask for my kid at the mask shop...

And then, not that you'd owe me for the discount, but...
maybe you could do me a favor and stop by the mask shop?
I'd really appreciate it...

Well, first things first, Mr. Hero. And what comes
first is getting yourself a proper shield.

While you're out looking for a proper shield,
would you mind stopping by the mask shop
as well, to do me a favor?

You really helped me out here! I don't have a ton
of free time I can use on trips to Castle Town.

I want to give this mask to my kid, since he loves
key-whatever so much... We haven't been seeing
much of each other since I always get home late.

Hoho! Thanks for the assist, Mr. Hero!

Oughta get this home...

Ready to throw in the towel, Mr. Hero? If you
want to get to the other side of this gate, you'll
need to hand over that mask.

And if you won't? Well, we'll find out which of us
can wait the longest.

If I only had the time to go buy one of those key-whatever
masks for myself like SOMEONE around here, I would... *sigh*
Too bad that'll never happen...

Hey-hey, Mr. Hero! Sorry about earlier. It was a bit
childish of me to close the gate on you, I admit.

It's just...my kid has pestered me for one of those
key-whatever masks more times than I can count...

I just haven't been able to find the time to go out
and buy one, with my gatekeeper duties and all.

If you could find it in your heart to give me the one you've got,
I would be grateful, but...I know it's a lot to ask.
