Side quests: Eldin

My bad sense of direction is really messed up today. Where am I going?

WAAAH! Zelda?! What're you doin' all the way up here?

Uh... My name's Ondes. I'm in a real pickle.

So there's this rock called coal, right? We get it from the magma near the top of the volcano.

And I'm supposed to carry some down to Goron City.

It's a Goron ritual that brings prosperity to the whole region.

Don't know if it actually does anything though...

Anyways, it's my turn to carry the coal.

Problem is my sense of direction's so crummy I get lost just walkin' around Eldin Volcano!

Normally, I'd do this kinda thing with friends, but today I came solo and can't find my way back!

If I could only get that coal back to Goron City...

Leave it to me! Well, good luck.

If only I could get that coal to Goron City...

I'll carry it. You've got this!

You'll do it? Really? Are you sure? I'd really appreciate it!

Wait right here! I'll go grab the coal!

Here it is! Coal! Ready for transport.

Right now, the coal's burning, and we need it to stay burning. Otherwise it'll fall apart on ya.

If it looks like it's dying out, just move it close to some lava or flame.

And that's it! Just get some burning coal to Limme at the entrance of Goron City.

If the coal burns out completely, let me know, and I'll snag ya a new piece.

At this rate, I'll never be able to find my way back down...

I'm hungry too... I shoulda brought some rock roast to munch on...

What am I gonna do...

Need a new piece of coal? Piece of cake—I mean, coal!

The coal's real hot right now, but over time, it'll cool and start to crumble.

If the flame looks like it's dying out, just move it close to something that's burning.

Please bring a piping-hot piece of coal to Limme at the entrance to Goron City. Thanks!

Huh? What's with the coal, Zelda?

Lemme get this straight... Ondes got lost and asked you to bring that to me?

Surprised Ondes managed to even make it up there. He always gets so turned around...

It's nice he still wanted to deliver the coal, but...

I'm not comfortable with him asking a non-Goron to carry something that dangerous...

I'm sure Chief Darston will have thoughts on this, as will the elders.

Still, I appreciate you helping out Ondes when he needed it.

Please, take this as a thank-you.

But who knows—havin' our recent savior carry the coal might bring even MORE prosperity!

And don't worry about Ondes. We'll send someone to go get him!

Thanks as always for your help, Zelda!

Ondes hasn't shown up yet...

Oh, hey, Zelda. Did you run into Ondes on your way here?

I asked him to bring some coal, but the guy gets lost a lot.

Hope he's not lost up there somewhere...

Fireworks! They're burstin' with color, spirit, and craftsmanship!

I'm Basa, the local fireworks artist! Humongous firework displays are my life's work.

I'm showing off my next creation at the celebration for our new chief!

And I want to add a BLAST of color to my latest design!

But...even though I've been thinking on it for a while now, I'm not sure what'll help it feel fresh.

And when the new chief asked about it, I said it's gonna be amazing...so I gotta deliver!

And when Darston asked about it, I said it's gonna be amazing...so I gotta deliver!

But ya need blastpowder soil to make fireworks, and I used all mine up while experimentin'...

I'd get more blastpowder soil, but I also need to create a new firework, and I'm just one guy!

Where to find it? Well, it's usually up higher on the mountain is the thing...

Those golden flowers like to grow in it, so you can usually find it wherever you see lots of 'em.

Time to light 'em up!

You can usually find blastpowder soil wherever ya see lots of those golden flowers.

But I haven't seen any near here lately... You'll have to get higher on the mountain.

I smell rotten eggs—you must've found some blastpowder soil! Is that for me?

Awww! Ya got me right in the heart with your kindness!

Downright inspiring, really. I just...just...

THAT'S IT! I've got it!

I can adjust the blastpowder ratio to make new colors! Like gold! And aqua!

That'll be the perfect thing for the celebration of our new chief!

That'll be the perfect thing to celebrate the rift being gone and Darston becoming chief!

Now I've gotta get to work! I'll show 'em what a master of the craft can do!

Since you helped me out, you get a front-row seat for the show!

HERE! WE! GO!

今回こんかいは　仮実装かりじっそうですが 本番ほんばんでは　花火はなびエフェクトが再生さいせいされます。

Papa, look! Fireworks!

Oooh... Such pretty colors!

Ahhh... Watching fireworks from a hot spring is like bliss, but better...

Wow! I've never seen fireworks with these colors before!

Basa's fireworks are the best!

I'm so glad everyone, including the new chief, liked the new fireworks!

I'm so glad everyone, including Darston, liked the new fireworks!

I can't thank you enough, but maybe this'll speak for me.

If there's anything I learned from this, it's that you shouldn't promise more than you can deliver.

The next time I'm in a pinch, I'll just be honest!

Wow! That was so great!

You glide better than anyone I've seen. Honest!

Come back and play again anytime!

So. Once again, you've conquered the Eldin Death Road of Pain.

You glide like no one else I know. I could learn a lot from you.

Come back anytime! Just talk to my little brother if you wanna try again.

Oh, hey, miss! You here for a glider ride?

Sure am! Glider ride? Not right now.

So how about it? Wanna do a glider ride?

Yes, I do! Glider ride? Not right now.

OK, bye! Come play again sometime!

Yay! So which course do you wanna do? The easy one or my brother's hard one?

I'll take it easy. Challenge me! Actually, never mind.

You got it! I'll get it ready!

You got it! I'll have my brother get it ready!

My brother said he'd do the glider ride with me, but now he won't play at all!

So I'm gonna master the glider ride on my own. That'll show him!

But it's hard! I wanna find someone to show me how.

I'll show you. A glider ride? Good luck!

You gotta glide without touching the ground all the way from here to the flag.

If you touch the ground, you gotta start over! Ready? GO!

It's a game! You try to glide super far while holdin' on to a flying monster.

The trick is using the updrafts to glide farther...

Thanks. I'm not gonna give up!

YAY! Thank you, miss!

Let's go! C'mon!

But he promised...

What's up?

What are glider rides? I don't want to glide. Oh, it's nothing.

It's a game! You try to glide super far while holdin' on to a flying monster.

You just gotta glide all the way to the flag without touching the ground!

Aww, are you sure? Like really, reeeally sure?

Yes, I'm sure. Actually, I'll do it.

That's OK. Just show me how to do it some other time.

Awww, too bad... Do you want to try again?

Sure, let's go! No, thanks.

Wait! You're going off course! Wanna restart?

Yes, I'll start over. No, I'll stop here.

Huh? Did you change your mind about doing the glider ride?

No, I'll do it. Yes, I'll stop here.

You can do it!

Anythin' else you need?

What are glider rides? I don't want to glide. Oh, it's nothing.

Wow! You were great!

You glided smooth and strong, just like my brother does!

Lemme give you my snack as a thank-you!

Watching you has given me lots of pointers. Thanks a bunch!

Now I just gotta master my moves before the next time my big bro wants to play!

Miss! Hey! Miss!

I told my brother Disian about you, and he wants to meet ya!

Wait right there! Lemme go get him!

Oh, so you're the one Seko told me about?

I'm his older brother, Disian. Thanks for demonstrating for him earlier.

He was telling me how he met a Hylian gal who was practically a pro at gliding.

I've been glider riding about three years, myself! Think you can glide better than me?

I spent a whole year making my own course! Think you can glide the Eldin Death Road of Pain?

Let's do it! Maybe another time.

Too scared? Heh. I don't blame you.

All riiight! A new contestant on the Eldin Death Road of Pain!

You gotta stay focused so you don't wipe out. Don't get hurt!

You gotta glide all the way from here to the flag without touching the ground.

Or else you'll have to start over! Ready? GO!

Big Brother...

Death Road!

If there's anything you want to ask a seasoned glider rider, now's the time.

What are glider rides? I changed my mind... I'm OK.

It's a sport! You glide. You ride! You jump into the air while holdin' on to a flyin' monster!

And you gotta glide all the way to the flag without landing even once!

Huh? You're not gonna do the glider ride?

Maybe later. Actually, I'll do it.

Well, if you don't wanna, you don't gotta. We'll call it here.

Too bad—you didn't make it! Wanna give it another try?

Yes! No, I'll stop here.

Hey! You're going the wrong way! Wanna try it again from the top?

Sure, I'll start over. No, I'll stop here.

Huh? You don't wanna do the glider ride?

No, I'll do it! Yes, I'll stop here.

Good luck!

Anything else you wanna ask?

What are glider rides? I changed my mind... I'm OK.

You... You glided the entire Eldin Death Road of Pain?!

But...I spent a whole year making it.

You're incredible! Outta this world!

I mean, I never expected such a talent to just... show up on the scene.

The world moves fast. Always gotta move a little faster...

But I'll give you this—for conquering the Eldin Death Road of Pain.

Now, as a veteran of the sport, I gotta warn you—glider rides can be real dangerous.

But if you're a thrill seeker like me, you're welcome to come use the course anytime.

At this time, it's unclear if we are dealing with a monster or not, but...

We've been hearing rumors about strange noises coming from Eldin Volcano.

Apparently the Goron Chief, Darston, is also looking into the matter.

You're already acquainted with Darston, yes? I'd suggest speaking with him about it.

Wh-what?!

The noises were being made by a flame giant? AND you took care of it already?!

To think our princess sought out and defeated a legendary giant all on her own... Incredible!

That is to say, I'm in awe! You have my utmost respect, Princess!

Have you told Chief Darston?

I think he'd be delighted to hear it directly from you!

Princess Zelda! Have you seen Darston?

Sorry, don't mean to bother ya, but Darston hasn't come back yet.

Little while ago, we started hearing strange sounds comin' from inside the volcano.

Darston went to investigate, but I'm gettin' real worried since no one's seen him since!

Last I saw him, the chief was headed for the summit.

If you plan on headin' that way too, would you keep an eye out for him? Just in case.

He hasn't come back...

Hrm. He hasn't been back since he went to check out some strange noises at Eldin Volcano.

So Darston's OK? Whew! What a relief.

Knowing him, he probably isn't coming back till he's found the source of those noises we heard.

But that just goes to show how responsible of a leader he is. 'Specially compared to others.

Huh? The noises were from a flame giant? And you defeated it?!

Hoo boy... Hearin' that makes my old knees buckle! You're not our savior for nothin'!

Have you let Darston know too?

He's probably still up at the summit having a look around. Please go tell him the news!

Zelda? What are you doing up here?

The elders asked you to check on me? I'm sorry— I didn't mean to go worrying you all!

After the rift was mended, we started hearing these odd noises from inside Eldin Volcano.

I came to see if it was anything dangerous, and I found this cave!

I'm afraid this can only mean one thing...

There's an old folk tale about a flame giant who lives in Eldin Volcano.

Gorons don't mind fire, but this giant's supposed to be so hot it even burns us!

The story goes that someone once put out its flames and trapped it inside the volcano!

So maybe the sounds we've been hearing are the flame giant all lit up again?

I hope it isn't...

But if it is, we need to come up with a way to put out its flames again. And fast.

What if there really is a flame giant deep in the volcano like in that old Goron folktale?

If there is, we need to come up with a way to put out its flames—and fast!

I hear something...

Zelda! There you are!

You explored the whole cave already?!

AND you defeated the flame giant?! It was real?!

Wow... I'm at a loss for words, here...

First the rift, now a giant straight outta legend... You really are something else, Zelda!

At least everyone in Goron City can rest a little easier, now.

Thank you so, so much, Zelda. Here's a little something to show our appreciation!

It's an heirloom bracelet that's been passed down through generations of Gorons!

I talked to everybody about it, and we all agreed you should have it, Zelda, for all your help.

I'm gonna head back and tell everyone what happened! You take care of yourself, Zelda!

It stopped?

Oh, hi there, Zelda. Thanks again for saving me!

I'm kind of...missable for a Goron. A lot of times, people don't notice me at all.

If you hadn't shown up, I might've been stuck in that rift forever...

Just thinking about it gives me the shivers...

Maybe I should go on a nice long run to warm back up. You know...

You should try a Goron Race while you're here! They're our traditional sport!

OK, I'll try it! Goron Race? I'll pass.

You wanna try running a Goron Race?

I'll try it! Local sport? I'll pass.

Let's see which one of us can get to the flag first!

That's right! They're real popular, and the fans get pretty wild.

The rules are simple. Whoever gets to the flag first is the winner.

Oh. Just when I'd gotten over the shivers too...

Gonna go do some training first, huh? OK! Good to see you so fired up!

Finally safe...

Would ya look at that! I won!

Well, Zelda? Whaddaya say? Wanna try again?

You're ON! Another time, maybe.

OK! I wanna race you again for sure!

The flag isn't in that direction! You gotta head toward the finish line!

I'm done racing. OK! Let's keep going!

Awww... I lost...

Racing was my one way to stand out in the crowd...

And this track is where I've practiced the most! Dang it...

The world's so big I guess there's always gonna be someone better out there...

But I lost fair and square. I want you to have this, Zelda.

I'm gonna practice running some more before I race you again. I'll prove I can win!

Oh, hey there, Zelda! Wanna run a Goron Race?

I do! Let's go! Maybe another time.

OK! Lemme know!

I... I lost again?!

I'll keep trying till I win. I dare ya to face me again sometime!
