Great Bay Coast, Mikau, Lulu, Fisherman, and Seahorse

Unghhh... Somebody...

Unghh... Please...

G-gu-hu... Get me...

...to shore...

Uuungh...I am Mikau of the Zora people......guitarist in the Zora band...

I think this is it for me... My final message...

...Will you listen to it?

I'll listen
I won't listen

One! Two! Three!!!

Oh, baby, baby, listen to me! The carnival's beginning soon. We're the ones they're waiting to see.

But that girl, our vocalist... She laid some strange eggs. And she's lost her voice, You can't hear what she says.

Whoa-oh! In Great Bay now somethin' is a-happenin'. Is it now?

Oh! Baby, listen to me. I don't wanna beg. Gerudo Pirates! They stole that girl's eggs.

I went to stop the Gerudo Pirates, then pow and bam! I got knocked down, and here I am!

Baby! If I die like this... Even if I die... It won't be in peace... That's for suuure!

Somebody, please rescue her eggs before the pirates take their toll. Oh, somebody, somebody, please heal my soul.

That's all... Thank you!

Gugh-hunh... M-my eyes...Everything's all hazy...

Soon, I'll be just another wave in the ocean...destined to disappear.

Oh, yeah! That hot sound shoots right to my heart.

Carve my farewell song on my grave... I'm depending on you to help that singer girl...

Herein lies Mikau, the legendary guitarist of the Zora tribe. He is to be remembered in song, and his lyrics are written here.

Will you try to sing Mikau's lyrics?

1. We the Zora
2. Zora Fight Song
I won't sing

Sharp fins are the mark of the Zora. We swim, speeding through the seas with A and Control Stick.

If R is pressed when swimming, a shield is produced to deflect enemies. (Spoken) If you have magic.

We can even dive by pressing B! Oh-oh...We the Zora.

For my punch of anger, hit B. Press B repeatedly for a flurry of attacks! Yeah, yeah.

For my deadly move, press and hold B. Now release! It's the final blow. My double cutters!

Lulu's Diary

It has been two days since I have lost my voice.

I don't want Mikau to know, so I talked to Evan about it.

He recommended that I take the eggs to the Marine Research Lab to have them checked.

I think I will take them right away.

Such a terrible thing has happened today that I don't even know where to begin writing.

I heard a sound late at night, and when I opened my eyes, I saw strangers in my room.

I tried to fight, but they were able to steal my precious eggs.

It seems I lost consciousness after that.

Today, I told everything to Mikau, the one person whom I didn't want to know about it.

At first, I was too embarrassed and too sad to do anything.

And with the words that Mikau said at that moment, I felt that all hope had been lost.

But please, Mikau, I'm begging you, don't do anything rash.

.........

That sad face is trying to tell you something. ...You can see it in her expression!

Mikau, what's going on?

And my voice...

What happened to me?

Who are you? Mikau...Where's Mikau?

Mm...Mm...Yeeeaaawn! I slept quite well!

I just realized this when I opened my eyes. The passing of days is quite quick. Isn't it, Lulu?

Yes, Lulu. It's nothing to be surprised at.

Although my eyes were closed in sleep, I still see everything that occurs in this ocean...

...Hmm. It seems Lulu is confused. Regrettably, there is no time for idle conversation.

Now then, proud Zora warrior...

The open seas of Great Bay have need of your might.

Quickly. Climb onto my back.

Why so slow? Hurry up and fire your hookshot into the palm tree on my back, Link.

Heh, heh, heh. Of course I know your name. Didn't I say that all is seen by me?

You seem to be having a bit of trouble...

Are you still not used to your Zora body?

Perhaps it would be quicker to give up.

If you are once again ready to depart, then climb onto my back.

Ready, Link?

What's wrong? Returning to shore?

Hyeh, hyeh.

It is not shameful to retreat. That in and of itself is a strategy.

All right. Climb onto my back.

Now I can continue resting in peace. I too must abide the laws of ancient times and again merely watch from my deep slumber.

But the evil that haunts this land has not completely vanished, Link. I shall depart after enjoying Lulu's voice a bit longer.

I think the gods can permit that. Hyeh, hyeh, hyeh.

Pleased to meet you. I'm Lulu.

Please come to our concert in town.

I guess being able to sing is a wonderful thing, after all...

Mikau! You came back safely!

That's good...

I was surprised when my voice turned that lonely island into a turtle...

But that song you played for me...My mother used to sing it often...long ago...

Those eggs were laid to remind me of that.

That song was from when I was a very young child, so I had forgotten it...

I've put you through some horrible experiences, Mikau.

But I'm all better now!

Well, the town's concert is very soon.

Let's start our rehearsal!

One... two... three...

...Are you going to the temple again?

If there is something left to do, then quickly climb onto my back.

P--p-please... My soul... Heal it...

You have strange powers, Link. I have a request for you. Please follow me.

Here in the depths of Pinnacle Rock live many dangerous sea snakes...

My friend is trapped here.

Link, can you please find a way to rid the area of all the sea snakes and help my friend?

Please do this for me. Please defeat all the vicious sea snakes and save my friend.

Please follow me closely without making any missteps.

If you try to go beyond Pinnacle Rock, you'll get lost in the murky water.

Before you know it, you'll find yourself back where you started, so be careful.

Thank you, Link. This is a symbol of my deepest gratitude.

Help me... Please, take me back to the waters near Pinnacle Rock...

Are you interested in that fish?

It's a rare fish, isn't it? It's called a sea horse.

I caught it swimming around here. Just off of Pinnacle Rock.

Since it's rare, I was thinking of selling it at the town carnival, which should be starting soon.

If you want, I'll give it to you.

On one condition...

Do you have a pictograph of the female pirates?

If you want that sea horse, bring me a pictograph of a female pirate.

Oh! That's my hookshot that the pirates stole!

...If you have it, then that means you've been to the Pirates' Fortress.

In that case, you've got one, don't you? Don't hide it!

What's this? I guess you don't have one after all.

Technically, I do have a pictograph of a female pirate, but it's all blurry and it's not that great...

The all-important face...I can't see it very well!

Oh! That's it! That's it! I had a picture like that.

Well, aren't you a crafty one?

You'll give that to me, won't you?

In exchange, I'll give you this!

Thank you. Hurry! Take me back to the waters near Pinnacle Rock...

With pictographs, the sepia tone conveys a lot more emotion than color. Isn't it great?

This picture you gave me is gonna be one of my treasures.

Well, if it isn't a Zora? How have things been going lately?

Har-harrr! ...Could you be coming to see me 'cause you can't catch any fish?

It's not good out there... Lately, I've been coming back empty-handed myself.

Why, I was almost hoping you were coming to share with me!

Sorry, but I don't have any fish to share with you.

I've been catching fish in these seas for 30 years.

When it comes to catching fish, I'm even better than the Zoras.

...That's what I'd like to be saying, anyway.

Lately, the seawater has gotten really warm.

It hasn't helped my fishing at all...

And what's worse, this water has gotten murky, so when I ship out, I always lose my way and somehow end up back at shore.

We fishermen--and even the fish--are in a real predicament!

If the seas don't return to normal soon...

The Zoras...and even I...will be all dried up!

Heh-heh! Isn't she pretty?

But, you know...

Those female pirates are so frightening, they could scare a crying baby into silence...

See, it was long ago when I used to use this thing called a hookshot to catch fish off the coast...

But I was attacked by these pirates, and they took it away with them.

They say... it's a legendary treasure..

And I just happened to swipe it from the bottom of the sea, so I hold no grudge against 'em.

It may be a treasure resting somewhere in the Pirates' Fortress at the edge of this coast.

The security at the Pirates' Fortress is tight. Sneaking in is no easy task.

If you're set on meeting those beautiful pirates, try going to the valley on the other side of town!

I've heard there's a mask there that lets the wearer escape detection.

Come to think of it, there was a Zora floating lifelessly out in the bay...

But there's probably no helping him now...

Oh, sorry! Evenings and the first thing in the morning are my break times. Come back later.

Now that the seas are back to normal, I've started a little business aimed at tourists.

If you pay 20 Rupees, I'll invite you to a jumping game that has a really big prize!

If you're up for it, go to that island in the center.

Oh, you're up for it!

Now then, I'll explain the rules, so listen carefully.

I'm going to light the torches on each of the surrounding four islands in a particular order.

Jump to the island that has the lit torch. If you can jump to it before the torch goes out, you'll get one point!

If you get 20 or more points within the time limit, you'll get a big prize! But it'll cost you 20 Rupees for one try.

How about it? Will you give it a try?
Sure
No thanks

Aw, that's too bad! And it's so fun, too. You're missing out...

Hmmm... You don't have enough Rupees. Maybe next time.

Great! In that case, I'll start.

Oh, that's out of bounds. That's against the rules!

Huh? Didn't I tell you?

Oh, yeah... If you fall, then that's that. You'll have to try again.

All right...That's it!

What do you think? It's harder than it seems, isn't it?

Some things in this world just look easy until you try them. But I know you'll try again!

Uh-oh! That was a little too easy... Oh well, here's your prize!

And I was thinking of saving up to buy a big ship...

Now it looks like I may go bankrupt!

Thank you for saving me.

I know it may be asking too much, but I have a request for you, brave one.

Please bring back my friend who was caught by the fisherman.

I beg you. You're the only one I can rely on.

Any good picture of a pirate will do--even a snapshot of a guard. Can't you help me out?

Oh, and if you're going to the Pirates' Fortress, don't forget to take your pictograph box.

...Ah, well, it's not that you have to take it... Heh, heh, heh...

Oh, too bad. You don't have an empty bottle to keep the sea horse in!

Umm... Well, this certainly is a pirate...

But I can't be pleased with a shot that looks like this.

Bring me one that's a better shot of a pirate.

You again? You can't fool me with your green clothes!

You want an empty bottle, don't you? You never learn your lesson!

Koo, koo, koo. OK, I'll give you one.

But...

Only if you can swim through all the rings in the river in under two minutes.

So, do you wanna try?

Sure
No thanks

The way out is over there!

Koo, koo, koo. If you want an empty bottle, I can give you one...

But only if you can swim through all the rings in the river in under two minutes.

There's a total of 20 rings. You must swim through them in the right order for it to count. Swim through the ring that's flashing.

I'll show you the way, so follow me and don't get separated!

OK...Time's up!

Want to try again?

Sure
No thanks

The way out is over there!

You cheated, didn't you? You didn't get all the rings!

Wanna try again?

Sure
No thanks

The way out is over there!

Uh...That was perfect.

That's not good...

Did you call me, little brother?

I called you, big brother! Actually...

What? An empty bottle?

Yeah... An empty bottle.

......

Don't worry, little brother!

To us, empty bottles are a treasure.

I can't give you one just because you beat my little brother.

We can't just give you one.

I'll give you one after you race once more against me.

So, will you try?

Sure
No thanks

He says he won't do it, little brother!

He's no fun. He's just a stick in the mud.

The rules are the same, but this time there are 25 rings.

Don't fall behind!

You cheated, didn't you? You didn't get all the rings!

You didn't clear them all!

Want to try once more?

Sure
No thanks

Koo, koo, koo. He says he won't do it, little brother!

Koo, koo, koo. That's right, big brother!

He did it, little brother.

Yeah, he did it, big brother.

There's nothing we can do, little brother.

...... This is a mess, big brother.

We underestimated you.

He's back, little brother.

Yeah, he's back, big brother.

But we don't have any more empty bottles...do we, little brother?

No, we don't have any, big brother.

If you say you still want to race, though, that's fine.

What will you do?

I'll Race
I won't race

The way out is over there!

First, you have to start with my little brother. This time, the limit is 1:50.

Don't fall behind!

He did it again, little brother.

He did it again, big brother.

...That's shameful, little brother.

Now race me!

What will you do?

I'll race
I won't race

I guess he's just a stick in the mud, little brother.
