Hey, I know that! It's a Keaton Mask, yeah? Surprised I recognize it?

You're not lookin' so healthy, my friend. ...Oh, it's a mask!

Hey there, my friend. Lookin' for a shady spot to fish? ...Oh! Ha! I just noticed your mask!

One, two, three...four ears? I bet you hear a lot better than I do! ...That was a joke. I was kiddin' with ya... You can laugh. I thought it was funny.

Hey, you're lookin' a little sickly. Oh it's a mask! Ha. I was worried about ya.

I must say I'm not used to having a Goron drop by my pond— Hang on! That's just a mask!

A Zora?! Hey, do you know that jerk who— Oh, come on! That's just a mask!

Well, hello there! You're lookin' mighty fancy. Are you— Hey! You're just wearing a mask!

What's that? Hurry up so you can fish? Alright, alright, gimme a second.

Oh my! Princess! A princess! Here! At my pond! What in the— That's just a mask!

Why's your face stiff lookin' all of a sudden? Is that... Oh, it's a mask!

That mask of yours is somethin' else. I can't tell what you're thinkin' with that on.

*sigh* C'mon, man.

Wanna fish?

Ahh, itchy.

Hey, knock it off!

What's goin' on outside?

You can fish here as much as ya want! No time limit, no joke! It's 10 rupees to try, and if ya catch a big enough fish, I'll give you a prize! Want to give it a go?

You can fish here as much as ya want! No time limit, no joke! It's 30 rupees to try, and if ya catch a big enough fish, I'll give you a prize! Want to give it a go?

Thanks!

Alrighty, here's your fishing rod and your lure.

You're not gonna even try it? Aw...

It takes more dedication than passion to catch a fish. Ya hear me? Serious advice.

Kinda rude to get a guy's hopes up...

Why would you come here, then?!

Uh... Ya gotta come back when you've got enough rupees. I can't let folks fish for free!

Hah hah! It got away! As soon as the fish bites, set the hook! Get that right, and the fish is as good as caught!

Ahh... You're not quick enough. As soon as the fish bites, set the hook!

Let's see here... Looks to be # cm or so. You wanna keep it?

Welcome!

What is it? Ya got somewhere more important to be? I'd think you'd rather have fun here than go do something else. Though, I suppose there's lots of folks who lost sight of what's important by focusing just on their own wants. I'm glad you're not one of 'em.

Let's see... Oh, gotta squint on this one... Yeah. I'd call that # cm.

Some folks make noise about wanting to use a different lure. They say, "No great fisher ever chose their own lure!" You ever hear that saying?

Me? I'm one heck of an angler. Why, I often impress myself with my own skill! Don't give me that look! I'm serious! I'm a pro— I tell ya! Whaddaya mean, nobody asked?! Listen, I don't have anyone else to talk to around here, so I gotta brag when I get the chance.

Oh, wow! What a catch! Looks to be # cm or so. You wanna keep it?

Hey, it's you! Isn't it? It is! Yeah, it's been a while, but I remember you. How long has it been? Seven or so years, right? What've you been up to? I'm gonna tell ya, my business ain't doing so great. You're the only customer around! The only thing worse is the situation on top of my head... Aw, never mind that right now.

Sometimes folks'll say they're gonna go fish somewhere else, but... What's the point of telling me that?

Sometimes folks ask me why I'm always scratchin' myself. I dunno why I do it! I wish everybody'd stop asking me such weird questions!

What are you doin'?! I TOLD ya not to do that! Don't be so mean! And, I'll be takin' my hat back now, thank you!

Uh... Before you do that... This fish is smaller than the one you already planned to keep. Do you wanna keep this smaller one instead?

There've been a lot less of this fish seen in the pond lately. You should probably release it.

Hey! HEY! You can't just wander off with my fishing rod!

Wow, wow, wow! That fish is HUGE! It sounds silly to say a number so big, but it looks to be about # cm! What a fish! You're keepin' it, right?

Some folks say they'd rather use a different lure, but I say don't fuss about it and just use the one I hand ya... Hey. Wait a second. What is that? Is that a sinking lure? You have a sinking lure?! I told you they're banned. BANNED, ya hear?! Seriously, some people...

Oh! That was easier than I thought.

Hey now... You haven't kept any fish at all. If you quit now, you won't get a prize. Are you sure you're done?

Quick recap of the rules! There's no time limit, so fish all you want. You can keep one fish that you catch.

C'mon! Give it a go. It'll only cost ya 10 rupees!

C'mon! Give it a go. It'll only cost ya 30 rupees!

Even in times like these, I still let folks fish as much as they like. No time limit, no joke! There's even a prize if you catch a big enough fish. Only costs ya 30 rupees! Wanna try it?

Oh, hey! You're back! There's a lot of hungry fish waitin' for ya.

Uh... Before you do that... This fish is bigger than the one you planned to keep. Do you wanna keep this bigger one?

OK then, I'll take my fishing rod back, if ya please.

Huh? Hold on, now... This fish is bigger than your personal record. Ya sure you don't wanna keep this one?

Hey! Stop toolin' around! That ain't how ya fish!

Don't go scarin' people like that! Sheesh...

Well, as long as you're upright, you wanna fish? It's just 10 rupees, same as ever.

Well, as long as you're upright, you wanna fish? It's just 30 rupees, same as ever.

You've had a rough time, so I suppose I'll forgive ya for the hat. Anyway, if you wanna fish, it's just 30 rupees.

You give me 10 rupees, I loan you a fishing rod! Sound like a deal?

You give me 30 rupees, I loan you a fishing rod! Sound like a deal?

Haha! Got away from ya, huh? If you let the fish thrash around too much, it'll slip off the hook. Tilt the rod in the direction the fish is swimming until they get tired. Try again!

Aw, shoot. Looks like your hook came loose when the fish started thrashin' around. You wanna tilt your rod in the direction the fish is swimming. The fish won't thrash as much, and it'll be easier to catch!

Give it back!

Why?!

Keep this a secret from everyone, OK? I'm serious. Not a peep.

If you're done, you gotta come return the rod! I'm being serious here.

AAAHHH!

Why?! WHY would you do that?! Don't think you're getting away with it either! You best be ready to deal with me!

What are ya even doing?! You can't just go dunkin' folks' hats in the pond like that!

You promise me you'll never do that again! Promise me! It's called FISHING 'cause it's about catching fish, not catching hats!

You're not getting away with this. Nope! I'm fining you 50 rupees!

Wait, you don't even have 50 rupees! Then I'll take what you do have!

You... You don't even have one rupee to your name? You used the last of your money for... fishing? I tell ya what... Since you're so passionate about fishin', I'll let this one slide.

Ha ha ha! Now they're MY 50 rupees!

If you need fishing tips, I know a thing or two. Just ask!

Great! Time for a fishing lesson!

Alrighty. If you do find yourself wonderin' about something, come on back and ask. I'm always ready to help a new angler. Anyway...

And that's all there is to fishing! Kid, with your skill, you're sure to catch a big one! If you ever need me to remind you of the basics, just ask. I'll explain it as many times as ya want!

And that's all there is to fishing! My only other tip is not to be hard on yourself if the big one gets away! If you ever need me to remind you of the basics, just ask. I'll explain it as many times as ya want!

And that's all there is to fishing! You starting to enjoy yourself out there? If you ever need me to remind you of the basics, just ask. I'll explain it as many times as ya want!

First, take a stroll 'round the pond and find yerself a fish you think looks ripe for the catchin'!

I know you know, but your best move is to take a stroll 'round the pond and find yerself a fish you think looks ripe for the catchin'!

First, take a stroll 'round the pond and find yerself a fish that looks ripe for the catchin'!

It's just that easy! Go give it a shot. Once you're ready, I'll teach ya how to reel that fish in!

No better way to learn than to try it out. You do that, and I'll teach you how to reel it in!

You're thinkin' too hard about it, aren't ya? Just try it! You do that, then I'll teach ya how to reel it in!

Hey, uh... That's not water. You'll have better luck if you cast into the pond.

Ooh! Good work! The fish is gettin' tired! Now's your chance! Reel in that fish!

The fish is gettin' tired, so now's when you start reeling it in!

Yeah! The fish looks tired! Now's your chance! Reel that fish in!

Quitting already? I've still got more to teach.

Oh yeah? Well, enjoy your time fishin', and let me know when you're ready to stop.

Alrighty then, good luck!

Aww, darn! It got loose. To keep that from happening, you gotta tilt the fishing rod in the same direction the fish is swimming.

A serious tip for ya. A good angler takes care of the environment.

Ya hooked it! Now, start tilting the fishing rod the same direction the fish is swimming so it can't thrash around and get loose.

Once you've set the hook, tilt the fishing rod in the same direction the fish is swimming to keep it from thrashin' and gettin' loose.

OK! Now, tilt the fishing rod the same direction the fish is swimming. Keep it up till the fish gets tired of fighting.

No need to be picky. Any one of 'em will do! Next, take aim and cast your line! Try to land your lure near the fish you're trying to catch.

Take aim and cast your line! Try to land your lure near the fish you're trying to catch.

Take aim and cast your line! Try to land your lure near the fish you're after. And you'll probably wanna focus on catching the biggest one you can.

Nice catch! Ooh, that looks like a good one!

Nice catch! Perfect form! You must have had a good teacher, eh?

Nice catch! You're a natural! I'm almost intimidated by your raw skill.

Let's check the size... Looks to be # cm or so. You wanna keep this fish? If you do, I'll give ya a prize!

Once you find a fish, take careful aim, and cast your lure! Go try it out, then I'll teach ya how to catch the fish!

Not getting any nibbles? The trick is to move the lure around near the fish. Give 'em a chance to get close. They'll think it's something yummy, and you'll get a bite!

Havin' a hard time landin' your catch? Once ya get the hook, move your rod in the direction the fish is swimmin' and let it get tired. Then ya start reeling! Once you got a fish on the line, don't give up!

What's that? Ya need a refresher? I'll explain it all from the top. Sound good?

Oh, happy to explain! I can see ya already got a fishing rod and lure, so... You can get to fishin' right away!

So, you need anything else?

Sure thing. Take your time and enjoy yourself.

Don't worry—I'll explain everything! You give me 10 rupees, and I'll let ya fish as much as ya want. If you catch a big enough fish, I'll give ya a prize! Whaddaya think? Sound like fun?

Don't worry—I'll explain everything! You give me 30 rupees, and I'll let ya fish as much as ya want. If you catch a big enough fish, I'll give ya a prize! Whaddaya think? Sound like fun?

Well now, you're a new face, ain't ya? This your first time visiting my pond?

What an interesting customer you are. This your first time visiting my pond?

Give me a break, kid.

Gimme a break, pal.

Woo! Time to measure your fish! Let's see here, your catch is...

OK then, time for your prize! That is, if you're sure you're finished?

You win a tiny prize for a tiny fish!

Alright! Here's your prize!

Hey! # cm! That's pretty decent!

WOW, # cm! It's seriously huge!

Since you caught a BIG fish...

You get a BIG prize!

Look at that. It's a new personal record! I'll swap it with the one in the tank...

There we go. Your catch is on display!

Hey ya! Wanna try fishing again?

Is that... It is! That's a Hyrule loach! And it's # cm?! Now THAT is a rare catch!

Whoa! That fish is pretty darn big! I don't see those that often. I'd say it's right around # cm! You're keepin' this one, ain't ya?

I'll give ya a prize when you're done fishing. The bigger the fish, the fancier the prize!

If ya bring me a fish that's bigger than 50 cm, I'll give ya a beautiful heart-shaped prize!

If you bring me a fish that's bigger than 60 cm, I'll give ya a fantastic golden prize!

Alright! Time for you to get fishin'!

Hey now! Didn't anybody ever teach you not to try fishing indoors? It's dangerous!

If you wanna fish, you do it in the pond and not in my shop. Got it?

If ya don't catch one, it's not failing—it's learning! Keep trying, and you'll get the hang of it. Just drop your lure near the fish and try again!

Don't be too hard on yourself if you don't get the hang of it right away. Get the lure in front of a fish and try again!

I've got a tip for ya. You won't catch as many fish on land as ya will if you cast into the pond.

Great! Ya sure you're new to fishing? OK, next step is getting that fish to bite! Move the lure around and get their attention. Go slow and give 'em a chance to get interested. Once they bite, that's when you set the hook!

You're a pro at casting your line, so let's work on getting that fish to bite! Move the lure around and get their attention. Go slow and give 'em a chance to get interested. Once they bite, that's when you set the hook!

To get the fish to bite, you gotta make it think the lure is a fresh, tasty bug! Move the lure around to get their attention. Go slow. Let 'em get interested. Once they bite, set the hook!

Hey, that's a new personal record! I'll swap it with the one in the tank...

But YOU used a sinking lure! So you don't get a prize! Hah hah hah!

Listen, you used a sinking lure, and ya know what that means! No prize! Hah hah hah!

Hey! Stop casting that towards me! How do you plan on making it up to me if that hook gets snagged in my luxurious, beautiful, thick hair? Seriously, now.

Hey! That's dangerous! Good thing it didn't hit me... It's dangerous to cast a lure indoors, you know!

Oh. You wanna fish after all? That'll be 10 rupees.

Oh. You wanna fish after all? That'll be 30 rupees.

Why is that thing there AGAIN?! I SAID they're BANNED! Oops. I can't lose my temper in front of a kid. Ah-hem. Welcome. It's 10 rupees to fish.

Why is that thing there AGAIN?! I SAID they're BANNED! Oops. I can't lose my temper in front of a customer. Ah-hem. Welcome. It's 30 rupees to fish.

Did ya need somethin'? You can trade your catch for a prize whenever you're done.

Whoa, pretty nice. I'd say around # cm or thereabouts. You gonna keep it?

Wow! Only # cm?! Ya know, it's kinda rare to see one so tiny!

Well, super tiny or not, the prize is still the same!

Good job catchin' such a tough-lookin' fish! You sure you're not a professional angler?

What are you doin'?! I'm tryin' to teach you how to fish! I'll be takin' my hat back now, thank you!

What do you even want with a stolen hat?! Give it back!

Whew! Thank goodness. I didn't think you'd give it back.

Hey! That's dangerous! If it gets caught on my hat, you'll see my... Oh. I guess I don't have a hat anymore.

Rain sure is comin' down, huh? That's a good thing though! Any experienced angler will tell ya it's easier to catch fish on rainy days. That's a serious tip, now. Some folks complain they can't see the fish 'cause the pond gets all cloudy, but I say that just adds to the fun! Try fishin' in the rain! It's an experience that's available for a limited time only, haha.

Been raining 'round these parts for a looong time. But fish are easier to catch when it's raining, so now's your chance!

Hey! Good to see ya! Can ya believe this weather? Feels good after so much rain for so long. I'm sure folks'll come floodin' back in soon. And you're here already—one of my valued regulars! Before you ask, there's no good-weather discount. It's still 30 rupees if you're lookin' to fish. Interested?

Pouring buckets, ain't it? Rain's good though. It gets the fish biting, and it's fun to guess where the little critters are hiding in a cloudy pond. I do love when it rains.

Fish are hungriest in the mornin' and the evenings. They're always lookin' for a bite to eat around those times.

Here, I want you to have this. Consider it thanks for you showin' me somethin' special.

I'd love to give ya a special prize for catchin' a fish bigger than 50 cm, but... You used a sinking lure, so I'm not givin' it to ya.

Don't worry—I ain't forgot. Since your fish is over 50 cm, you get a special prize!

Don't worry—I ain't forgot. Since your fish is over 60 cm, you get a special prize!

With your skills, you can land a big catch with a normal lure! Go try it again! As for this fish, I'm gonna release it. There ain't as many of them around as there used to be.

I'd love to give ya a special prize for catchin' a fish bigger than 60 cm, but... You used a sinking lure, so I'm not givin' it to ya.

Hey, just a word of caution for ya. You might find a sinking lure while you're fishing. If you do, leave it alone! They're banned at my pond. Fish love sinking lures so much that I'd go out of business if everyone used them. I'm serious, now; you can only fish with the basic lure at this pond. Got me?

If ya don't catch a fish, you can't win a prize. You sure ya wanna quit?

You caught a fish, so you can get a prize. That is, if you're all done?

I was, um, in the middle of explainin' things? Oh, whatever.

I'll be takin' that sinking lure from ya too! Don't go pickin' up another one, no matter how many you find!

I'll be taking that sinking lure too! Didn't I tell ya NOT to pick another one up? I swear, I keep throwing these things away...

Come back anytime!

I said to stop casting at me! You're here to fish for fish, not me!

I said to stop casting at me! It's dangerous!

Ugh... I said those things are banned. Why do they keep turning up?

Hmm?

Oh, sorry! Heh. I was lost in thought and didn't notice ya.

First the lake dried up. And then the customers dried up too! But I can't just leave the shop... What should I do?

Oh? A customer?! I've got a customer!

That's one heck of a getup. You're a funny guy. I really needed a laugh today! This is your first time here at the Fishing Pond, yeah? Welcome, welcome!

Well, you're a new face. Thanks for dropping in! Anyway, this is your first time here at the fishing pond, yeah? Welcome, welcome!

Ya won't find any fish there. Try castin' yer line into the center of the pond.

Hey, it's you! Isn't it? It is! Yeah, it's been a while, but I remember you. Exactly how long has it been, anyway? Seven or so years? What've you been up to? For my part, business was rough. Nobody was comin' around, due to the lake dryin' up. The whole thing had me outta sorts... Then there's the matter of my head... Well, never mind that right now. But, y'know, if you're here, I bet that means others will surely start showin' up too. It ain't all bad!

Ugh...

How did this happen?

Given the ensemble, I didn't take this boy seriously at first. I shouldn't have underestimated him!

Ah, the eyes hidden beneath that mask must be brimming with gratitude and respect! Yes, my boy! Gaze upon me, your instructor, and feel those emotions for as long as you wish!

I've heard that some people think eyewear makes you look smarter. Is that what you're going for? Perhaps if I try wearing some, I'll seem more professorial, even authoritative, as an instructor!

More elegance!

Stay focused!

Be one with the water!

Ah! Hello, Hylian boy! You're interested in a diving lesson? What a splendid idea!

The challenge is roughly the same as before...but with a twist! This time, you must retrieve all 10 scales I toss into the water! There's still a time limit as well. Are you interested in having a go?

Take your position, and we shall begin.

All swims, be they short or long, begin with but a single stroke. Even if you don't take my lesson, I encourage you to continue swimming.

Hmm, you might need lessons in counting as well as diving! There will be no haggling! A lesson taught by someone with my experience is a steal for 10 rupees!

Are you afraid of making the leap? Don't be! The cool embrace of the water below will serve as a reward for your courage! Are you saying you're quitting?

Truly a magnificent dive! Come here, and I will teach you how to dive deep, just as promised.

Your training is complete! Please, come to me so we may speak!

Well then, go enjoy your disguise. I'll be here should you be interested!

Time's up! Come on back up here!

That's it!

Hello! Are you...alive?! This lesson is canceled!

I was awaiting your return! In all of Hyrule, only I can teach the finless how to dive deep as well as any Zora. The world beneath the water is dangerous, and it is not to be taken lightly. If you wish to learn how to dive deep, then show me what you're made of!

A grand decision. The rules are the same as the last time. Pick up all five scales that have been scattered in the water and do it within the time limit.

I was waiting for you! Yes, last time it had to be canceled due to unavoidable circumstances... But I was hoping I'd see you again! If you can master how to dive deep, your world will expand! Downward, mostly. Into the deep! If you want to learn, show me what you can do!

Good! I was concerned you'd discovered a fear of heights, haha. Come now, the clock is ticking. It's time to dive!

What?! It's true that danger should be avoided when it is unsafe to engage. Still, if you do want to learn how to safely dive deep, I'll be here!

Understood! Although, it is a shame I won't be able to witness your elegant dive... Oh well, lesson's over all the same! Do come back if you'd like to try again!

I was waiting for you! Yes, last time it had to be canceled due to unavoidable circumstances... But I was hoping I'd see you again!

Understood. I'll be here whenever you feel prepared to try once more. When you return, I will help you learn how to dive deep beneath the waves!

Well, you seem quite interested in my special training!

Well done! I do not believe any of my students can move as effortlessly underwater as you do.

Hmmm... That didn't go so well, did it? Do not worry, young Hylian. Failure is the first step in mastery! Watch your shadow on the bottom of the pond, and you'll find it easier to aim your dives. Care to get one stroke closer to mastery by trying once more?

What a display of raw talent! I am truly amazed that there's a non-Zora who can move so freely beneath the water!

After that performance, I believe you've more than earned the right to carry one of these.

Are you hoping to cancel the lesson? Even if you quit now, I do not offer refunds!

Where are you thinking of going?!

Are you running away?!

What is it? The water's down there, just as it was previously. Oh. I understand... Are you hoping to cancel the lesson? Even if you quit now, I do not offer refunds!

Ah, my apologies for doubting your motivation.

Fail as many times as you need, and try as many as you want! Failing is the only way one learns to succeed! With a silver scale in your possession, you're sure to accomplish the feat!

Shall we go again? The cost will be 10 rupees, just as before.

Truly elegant! And here is your reward!

Ready? Set... Dive!

Yet you are so far from where you ought to be. Come back, and we will resume the test.

Most impressive! You wish to reach for greater depths, eh? Fantastic! Since you are in possession of a silver scale, allow me to plan some special training for you!

This next lesson is priced at 10 rupees, but there is a reward in the offing. Successfully complete the lesson, and you will receive 20 rupees in return! An excellent offer and one I'm sure you'll accept, yes?

Excellent! I suspected you wouldn't be able to refuse the challenge! Now then, I will take 10 rupees to cover the cost of the lesson, please.

Even with my expert training, there are some skills beyond the grasp of a finless one such as yourself.

But I should be quite able to teach you how to dive as deep as any Zora!

LATER?! I will not spare time teaching the unmotivated! Find your urge to learn, then return to me.

What drive! Truly a fantastic answer! Now then, the task at hand is a simple one...

You're going to fling yourself off this ledge and deftly retrieve all five scales I toss in the water. And you're going to do it before time runs out! Simple, yes?

Oh? Are you ready at last? Good! Learning how to dive deep is a stellar way to broaden one's horizons! Are you prepared to learn what I have to teach?

So, my would-be pupil, let's enhance your skills! Are you prepared to dive?

Good! You have that fighting spirit so many lack.

This is a precious item that grants you safety beneath the waves. With this scale, you can easily dive deep and experience the water as we Zora do. Use it well, and enjoy your adventures in the aquatic world that we call home.

I knew you would return! Anyone with my experience as a teacher would be able to see the thirst for knowledge that only I am able to quench. Since you now possess a silver scale, I have prepared a new training regimen already!

I thought you might come to visit soon and have been eagerly awaiting your return!

That's some fine playing, young fella! Mmm-mm... What a nice melody!

It'll be the hardest challenge yet... But there's five rupees in it for you if you succeed! Want to play with us?

There's five rupees in it for you if you succeed! So, want to play with us?

Your skill with that ocarina is mighty impressive, young fella! Ribbit! Amazing! Take a token of our froggy gratitude.

What excellent playing! Bravo! You're a real pro! Take a token of our froggy gratitude.

Absolute perfection! Bravissimo, maestro! Our hunger has finally been satisfied! Take this as a token of our froggy gratitude.

Your skill with that ocarina is mighty impressive, young fella! Ribbit! We've had a good meal! Take a token of our froggy gratitude!

One more lap!

And...go!

Good luck!

You've got this!

You're the one who escaped the ranch with Epona, aren't you? Now that I think about it, I haven't caught your name.

Of course! You're the fairy child from the forest— the one I met all those years ago! I wonder... Do you remember me? We played Epona's Song together! I bet Epona recognized you right away!

That said, it's too late to prepare the course now, so why don't you come back sometime during the day?

OK! What'd you wanna talk about?

Oh! Hi, Link!

Oh! Good evening, Link!

Did you and Epona want to do the obstacle course? Or are you just here to chat?

I close down the obstacle course at night. But I'd be happy to chat with you.

Complete two laps around the course, jumping the fences along the way. I'll record your time. If you miss a fence, you'll receive a penalty that adds time to your overall result. So make sure you jump every fence!

Did I explain it too fast? I'll start over.

Your fastest time is #.# seconds. Think you can improve your score? Then what are we waiting for?

The fastest time we have on record is 40 seconds. Try to beat that! I've got a prize for you if you can beat that time, in case you need motivation. Let's get started!

Anything else you want to ask?

Phew... I'm chatted out for the moment. I'll leave you and Epona to it, Link.

I think Papa's in the stables right now. When Mr. Ingo threw him off the ranch, he ended up in Kakariko Village. Ever since he got back, Papa's been saying he's gonna work hard, and to tell you the truth...that's exactly what he's done! To see Papa working hard? I was as shocked as anyone! Hee hee!

You might be wondering where Papa went after he got kicked off the ranch. I doubt he ended up in Castle Town... Maybe Kakariko Village? Wherever he is, I'm sure he's sleeping soundly. Now that I'm taking care of the ranch on my own, I just hope he comes back soon...

Ever since Papa's come home, Mr. Ingo's changed for the better. He's much kinder! He even apologized for all the horrible things he put the horses through. I don't know if something happened between him and Papa, or if they had words... Either way, the ranch is finally getting back to normal! I really appreciate all you've done for us!

Ever since Ingo gambled Epona away, he's been so distraught! He can barely string two words together... He's been holed up in his room and hasn't done any work around the ranch. It's times like these you have no choice but to stay strong and carry on! I just wish my papa were here...

I always felt like this ranch was too small for her. It makes me happy to imagine her out there, exploring the world with you. I hope you'll take good care of my friend, Link!

Can I help you with something?

See you soon!

Good job out there! Unfortunately, you missed # fences. You'll receive a five-second penalty for each fence you couldn't jump.

That was amazing! Your final time was...#:#.#! That's a new record! You and Epona are clearly in sync! I'd like to thank you for taking such good care of her. Here!

Wow! Your time was...#:#.#. Congrats! You set a new record! In honor of your achievement, I have a prize for you. It's pretty heavy, so I'll deliver it straight to your house. Hee hee! I hope you like it!

Oh yeah. You know that prize you received for breaking the record? Did you ever find it after I delivered it to your house?

I hope you'll try the course again next time you visit with Epona!

Your time was #:#.#. You didn't beat any records, but you two looked great out there!

Want to give it another go?

OK. I'll break down the course.

Come back if you change your mind.

Hm, what's wrong?

Oh, I see... That's too bad.

No problem! Let's give this another try!

Don't give up, OK? Just try your best!

That was disappointing...

You play Epona's Song so beautifully. I couldn't help but listen to your music.

That ocarina has such a lovely sound to it! Could it be the same one you had before?

You're quite the performer! You're all grown-up now, I suppose. Hee hee!

See you later!

How is Epona getting along? Don't forget that she loves music, so please play for her whenever you can. I know she'd love it!

So what do you think? Wanna give it a try?

Have you heard? Papa's back at the ranch! I'm so relieved that it all worked out. Mr. Ingo must've come to his senses, because he finally relaxed and apologized for everything. And now that I know Epona is safe, it kind of feels like the old days again. Thanks for everything you've done for us, Link. I mean it.

Papa's back at the ranch now, and thankfully Mr. Ingo seems to have had a change of heart. Thanks for everything you've done for us, Link. I mean it.

Time's up!

Epona truly looks better than ever! She must be so happy out there, running free... Keep giving her lots of love!

Ugh, really? It was SO heavy! Please go take a look when you get a chance.

Oh yeah! Have I told you about the obstacle course you can do with Epona?

You go around the course twice, trying to clear all the obstacles, while I keep track of your time. Now that Papa's back, I suppose I'm just trying to find ways to liven up the ranch a bit. I even have prizes for participants who get a good time!

No, no! You're going the wrong way! Can't you see?

I don't see Epona anywhere... If you want to try the obstacle course, come back with Epona.

Oh! I don't see Epona with you. Come back once you call her over.

That's the back...

That's cheating...

You're not very good...

I'm not the target!

More! More, squee!

You gonna keep going?

Look at you go! You're amazing, squee!

Squee, 100 percent accuracy! I'm thoroughly impressed. Here's something special, just for you.

You got it! You got it again!

Squee, 100 percent accuracy! I don't have anything special, so I hope this is enough for you.

Huh... You can't hold any more green rupees. You're rich! You don't need to come here anymore, obviously.

Rude!

According to the youngsters...your face is truly divine. Please accept this as an offering: a bag large enough to hold many Deku sticks.

According to the youngsters...you have a truly frightening face. I've got a bag for you that's large enough to hold many Deku nuts, so, please, spare me!

Abracadabra—squee!

Hmm... I think I may have seen one fly in the direction of the well...

Lemme think... I caught a glimpse of one of my birds headin' down toward Hyrule Field. I believe it was the lazy one, so it couldn't have gone too far by now.

I saw one of my birdies flyin' up toward the Death Mountain Trail... It must be so afraid... I hope it's alright.

Am I imagining things...or did I see a cloud of white feathers fly way up high?

One of my birdies likes to play hide-and-seek. Tracking 'em down's gonna be tough. That one's always somewhere unexpected. Luckily, cuccos are noisy! Keep an ear out for their clucks!

I sure hope they aren't botherin' the carpenters at work again...

Huh... Would any of 'em have gone in the direction of that rundown house? They wouldn't go inside, would they? It's so spooky! There's a rumor monsters live there!

Did a cucco really fly all the way over to that windmill? Maybe it was a trick of the light...

But how would you get over there? You can't fly like a cucco, can you?

Where do my sweet birdies fly off to? I wish I had the faintest idea...
