Ancient Castle of Ikana, Music Box House, and Business Scrubs

Oh, insolent one who has brought the unthinkable into a land as dark as Ikana...

My servants have fallen namelessly before the light that guides you.

However...

You shall see with your own eyes...

You're blocking me! Get out of the way! I can still get him!

B-blocking you?!

The reason he beat us is because you were so feeble! Don't blame this on me!

What?! Just try saying that again to my bony face!

Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble! Feeble!

Shut up, already!

Grrrr!!! Don't look at me--I was once called the best swordsman in all of Ikana...

The greatest swordsman in all of Ikana? You? Feeeeeeeeble.

...Draw your weapon!

Huh?

I'm telling you to draw your sword!

......

How?

Rrrrrr-Ah!!!

Will you stop?!!? What fools!

Haven't you begun to understand?

The kingdom being ruined and us left in this state...

Isn't it petty, little battles like this that have caused it?

Believing in your friends and embracing that belief by forgiving failure...

These feelings have vanished from our hearts.

It all happened after somebody thrust open the doors of that Stone Tower.

You who bring light into darkness, I am the King of Ikana Kingdom, Igos du Ikana.

The spellbinding that had been cast upon us was broken by that light which you carry.

To return true light to this land, you must seal the doors of Stone Tower where the winds of darkness blow through.

But Stone Tower is an impenetrable stronghold. Hundreds of soldiers from my kingdom would not even be able to topple it.

It is far too reckless for one to take on such a challenge.

...And so...

I grant to you a soldier who has no heart. One who will not falter in the darkness.

This soldier who has no heart is your twin image. A shell of yourself that you will shed when your song commands it.

On my kingdom...shine the light of justice...

The darkness in which my servants live is, after all, fleeting.

just what kind of thing true darkness really is.

Wait! It is my loss! Sheathe your weapon...

I commanded the Ikana Army of Ikana Kingdom atop the hill. I am called Skull Keeta.

Since being shamed by loss in a battle within my kingdom...

I have waited here for one to come and awaken my soul.

Young swordsman who has awakened and deftly defeated me...

I shall rely on your power to fulfill my request.

I ask you to take my soul, which rests in the fiercely burning flame...

And convey my words to my men, who, even in death, remain loyal to me.

Tell them the war has ended...

Then I shall be able to drift quietly into sleep...

Captain, sir!

May I take leave, sir?

Yes, sir!

Ohhh! Keeta! Is it not Captain Keeta?!?

...............But you're so...

I was nearly fooled by what you have done...

If you could not even catch me, then that must be all the strength you have.

...T-Tiny!!!

Stop it!

Who are you? What are you doing just walking into people's houses like this?

You again? Didn't I tell you to leave us alone?!

Don't! It's me! It's Pamela!

Get out! Forget everything you've seen here and get out!

...Father?

Pamela!

Father!

What have I been doing this whole time?

You...haven't been doing anything...

You had a bad dream. You were just having a little nightmare.

...Pamela.

Um...What you did for my father... Thank you.

But... You helping us...It's a secret from my father.

Whenever anything strange happens, my father immediately starts talking about doing research...

and he does all kinds of crazy things, so...

Once he calms down a bit, I think I'll try convincing him to quit researching in this dangerous place and to go back to town.

So... If my father sees you again... ...I'm sorry.

Your strange power... If father sees that, he'll surely want to research it.

That's why... I don't really want... you to meet my father...

I'm sorry to say such a thing...

Who are you? Don't just walk into people's houses!

Oh! Isn't this a fairy?

Is this yours, young man?

I am the famed academic who researches fairies, ghosts and similar so-called supernatural phenomena.

By the way, the song, Farewell to Gibdos, which the music box is now playing, drives away Gibdos.

I discovered it after many years of researching Gibdos.

In regards to ghosts, there isn't another academic who can match my knowledge, so ask me anything you like.

...It's been some time since I've a seen a fairy this lively.

Say, young man! Would you permit me to do research on this fairy?

Oh! Hmmmm! My Ghost Radar is reacting fiercely.

But... This is minutely different from its usual response.

This is a verrrry intriguing response!

Hmmm...You seem to be both similar to a ghost and different from one at the same time...

This is verrry intriguing.

Could you remain here a while and permit me to research you?

Are you curious about that picture?

That is a mummified man. Its scientific name is Gibdo.

A tale in Ikana tells of a treasure that rests at the bottom of the well on the hilltop.

It seems the spirits of those who became Gibdos upon entering the well in search of that treasure still linger inside

It's been said going down there is a petrifying experience. So even the mummy hunter may become mummified!

I even tried to go into that well once myself...

Strangely enough, though, I don't remember anything that happened there.

Well, you never know what might happen, so it's simply best not to approach it.

Are you curious about that picture?

That is the ghost of a ninja. Its scientific name is Garo Robe.

They are merely shells that are empty on the inside. They're the shells of spies from an enemy nation sent to investigate Ikana.

They have been unable to forget their living days. Even now their spirits--emptiness cloaked in darkness--continue to spy.

According to rumor, those Garos frequently appear near the ranch on the far side of town.

Although they are said to be shells, Garos are still ninja and they will not show themselves in front of people.

Yet there are many sightings near the ranch... That's strange.

Oh! That mask is certainly a Gibdo!

Young man! Where did you get that?

Hmmmm...The more I look at it, the more this mask looks like a real Gibdo to me.

With this mask, you probably could convey your feelings to Gibdos.

Perhaps you could even investigate the Gibdo life-form itself!

Say, young man! Would you permit me to do research on that mask?

Aieeyeaaah! Get out! ...It's already too much!

Thanks for stopping! You're not from here, are you?

I sell Magic Beans to Deku Scrubs, but I'd really like to leave my hometown.

I'm hoping to find some success in a livelier place!

But to open a business in another place... You need to go through the proper channels first.

Do you know what I mean?

Sorry...but I must get back to business.

You didn't understand my problem. Oh, well. Don't pay it any heed.

Oh! That's a Town Land Title Deed! I wish you'd let me have that.

I'll give you this land in return! Deal?

I'm going off to town right now! I'll leave the rest up to you!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm doing business with a focus on a Deku Scrub clientele.

Actually, I want to do business at the palace, but there's this big octopus...and...

Nothing really can be done about it, so I set up shop here.

Do you know what magic beans are, sir? I'll sell you one for 10 Rupees.

Do you need any?

Yes
No

Ah, well, that's too bad. If you ever want any, look me up.

Oh, you don't know how to use magic beans? Then, I guess I can't sell you any...

You don't have enough Rupees!

You can't hold any more magic beans!

Thanks again!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh! You're the one who gave me the land deed.

Thanks to you, I've been able to do business in the place I've always dreamed of.

But there aren't many places to plant beans around here...

Thanks for stopping by!

I just opened for business! I hope you'll do business with me!

Do you know what magic beans are? I'll sell you one for 10 Rupees.

Thanks for stopping! Who'd have thought I'd meet a fellow Deku in a place like this?

I sell bomb bags, but I'm focusing my marketing efforts on Gorons.

What I'd really like to do is go back home and do business where I'm surrounded by trees and grass.

But I can't open a business back home without following the proper procedures... Do you know what I mean?

So sorry. You're not the one I should be talking to. Pay no attention to me.

That's the deed needed to do business in town.

I don't like places that busy...

Ah! That's a Swamp Title Deed! I wish you would give that to me!

I'll give you this land in exchange!

I'm going right back to the swamp!

Thanks for stopping by! I'm doing business with a focus on a Goron clientele!

I'm sorry, but I can't do business with you if you're not a Goron.

It's a regulation of the Business Scrub Association.

It can't be helped. ...It hurts, I know.

Thanks for stopping by! I'm doing business with a focus on a Goron clientele. And that, sir, makes you a customer.

Right now, I've got a special trade-in offer just for you.
