Kushara

We of the Sea Zora will bring calm to Lord Jabu-Jabu! Our music can quiet his rage!

The way you play? You'd just enrage him more with your crude honking! So, we'll play!

What? Now you've done it! There are some things you can't take back, you know!

It's time we settle this—one last performance to see whose playing is superior!

You came when you heard my performance, didn't you? How did you like it?

Shut up already!

How can this be...

There's no time to delay! I'll go in pursuit of Lord Jabu-Jabu and rescue Rogma!

Our friends are in danger! Forget this talk of head starts!

Hey! You cheater!

My thoughts precisely! Off with you!

We normally perform here to open the way. But it's not so simple now...

One of the altars upon which we perform is broken—likely by Lord Jabu-Jabu.

We can't play together until it's repaired.

First things first, I suppose... Clearing the rubble seems like the easy part.

What about Lord Jabu-Jabu?

Really? At long last!

Thank you, Zelda.

You know, Dradd and I are more alike than not. We're close in age. We care for our villages.

Yet we squabble. Maybe we're far too similar. So we argue over the littlest details.

We've done this for ages...

W-we are not!

Ahem! In any case...

Allow us to express our gratitude, Zelda. We owe you a great deal.

Aha! Let's go, Zelda!

It's all right. I'm here to help. We'll find your father and the chief.

Hmm. The Hylian... Hello again.

Chief Dradd and I followed behind Lord Jabu-Jabu as he rampaged through here.

That's when Chief Dradd and I got here, only to see the rift suddenly GROW.

Dradd saved this child from being caught but was then swallowed up himself...

I can't say where Lord Jabu-Jabu's gone. But, Dradd... Oh, it's all too terrible.

My goodness, Dradd! Don't be so precious. Now, thank this Hylian.

Grrr!

Then I will unstick him...

Did that help?

Ha, well... The music of the Sea Zora lures frantic thoughts into a deep calm.

What's the matter?!

Right, then! Let's go!

Ah! We can perform now!

You helped us yet again, Zelda.

Oho! Well, you weren't half-bad either, Dradd.

Dradd...

I'd like to apologize. I've behaved terribly. I hope you can forgive me.

We didn't mean to hold you up, Zelda. The door is now open.

Let's go in to see Lord Jabu-Jabu!

It's OK. Everything's going to be fine. Help is surely on the way.

Hm?

You... The Hylian! Did you truly manage to swim through all those monsters to reach us?

Hm, yes. Quite the capable one, aren't you?

We'd hoped to get out through there.

I can't take the child into those waters. We need another means of escape.

There is that exit, but it's blocked by a pile of rocks. I can't push it—or pull it.

I'm sorry to ask, Hylian, but is there anything you can do to help?

Our friends are very dear to us!

Then let's play our best!

A little? Things have been a LOT off ever since he started acting wild!

Who said anything about an impostor?

I have no idea who you're talking about. But, well, I'll take your word for it.

A fine plan, Dradd.

Let's all dive on in, then!

All right! We're right behind you!

Wh-what's this? We're cut off from Zelda!

I'm sorry too, Rogma. All this because you leapt to my defense.

We couldn't have done it without Zelda here.

But if this Lord Jabu-Jabu was an impostor... where in the world is the real one?

You seem to be our last hope. Please, save him, if you can!

Lord Jabu-Jabu is the spirit of all Zora, but it falls to us to calm him.

This crisis is without equal, and now it's time that I—Kushara of the Sea Zora—resolve it.

Lord Jabu-Jabu loves our sea music. So I need only get him to listen to us perform.

And then Dradd, that tuneless buffoon, will have to applaud my performance.

And why would I? This quarrel is one for the ages! I will never speak to him again.

He insulted my music. I will not tolerate his presence.

It's like he lives to provoke me! Oh, we'd be fine if he agreed that I was more talented!

Never mind all that. We have to leave immediately, Rogma.

Oh, greetings, Hylian. I'm on my way out. Your business will need to wait.

Rogma, please! We must be off to Crossflows Plaza!

Oh! The rocks!

You moved that pile of rocks! Now we might be able to leave this place!

What is your name, Hylian?

Zelda... That sounds familiar. Well, you have my thanks.

Dradd?! What are you doing here?

You're safe, child. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Aha... Your sound was superior.

I'll admit it, Dradd. That performance was magnificent.

Who could have guessed that your music could help one of my people.

Well, you know. It was nothing, really.

...

Every now and then, Dradd...

how about we put our squabbles aside and try to help each other out?

Then we're agreed. And when you and I work together, we're a strong tide that lifts all!

What's that? You need us to perform at Lord Jabu-Jabu's den?

Your name was Zelda, yes?

We're indebted to you, but we must focus on finding Lord Jabu-Jabu.

Oh, really?

That would make sense. Lord Jabu-Jabu rarely moves around this much.

We will grant your request, Zelda. Let's be on our way immediately.

We will meet you at Lord Jabu-Jabu's den!

Ah...Zelda! What brings you here?

S-sorry...

We thought it best to put our heads together, just Kushara and Dradd—no formalities.

We want our thanks to be personal, though we're still trying to figure out what's best.

It's hard to just be ourselves in matters where we should speak from the heart.

So, Rogma.

Thank you for saving me.

I'm not perfect, but I hope I can keep asking for your support.

At some point, I'd like to meet this round thing you keep talking about.

Hmm. I don't see Rogma anywhere.

We asked far too much of Rogma and Inawa during the Zora crisis. That surely upset them...

It's beyond belief. Lord Jabu-Jabu went wild at the same time that huge rift appeared.

Indeed—that's why we should proceed carefully or we could make things worse.

We must first put a stop to Lord Jabu-Jabu's erratic behavior.

But in time, we'll need to investigate that rift in Lord Jabu-Jabu's den.

How go the preparations for our musical performance, Rogma?

Forget that nonsense. I can finally show Dradd which one of us is truly marvelous!

Now, let's discuss what music to perform...

In protecting this child, Dradd got swallowed up by this rift.

Oh, Dradd...

There's a hole in the rift now?!

Is that an entrance of some sort?

Ohhh... I don't believe there is strength enough in my fins to move any of this rubble.

But, no! I mustn't give up hope!

If this were actually Lord Jabu-Jabu, I would never think of striking him!

But we'll do what we must to this impostor!

I never imagined that Lord Jabu-Jabu could just be...gone.

You're the only one we can rely on now. Please, save him.

I know what it looks like, but the truth is that I've always tried to have good relations with Dradd.

But I seem to find myself off-kilter when I'm actually around him.

I'm learning...that I have much to learn. That's always good to keep in mind, I suppose.

Oh, Zelda! As always, welcome to the village of the Sea Zora.

We are thrilled you are here—the one who saved Jabul Waters!
