Ikana Graveyard, Ghost Hut, Dampe, Sakon, and Kamaro

Did you see the huge skeleton at the back of this graveyard?

My father once said that was all that was left of the former Royal Soldier who once guarded this graveyard.

Even though he is dead, his remains still block the way. In a sense, he is still guarding the Royal Family's treasure.

He must have been a fine soldier, indeed.

Do you want see the dancing bones?

If you do, then just wait here until night comes.

I don't want to see something evil like that, though...

Don't bother me!

Soon, a whole lot of frightful ghosts will appear.

You should go home, too... Before you get attacked!

There are a lot of bats out today. I don't like bats.

I wish they'd go away.

Aaaieeee!!! Th-they're out!

Go away!

You? Wh-who are you? I can't see 'cause it's too bright...You're not a ghost...are you?

...A fairy?

Oh, it was the fairy's light. In that case, it's just perfect.

I came looking for the Royal Family's legendary treasure, but my torch has gone out.

I'm sorry, but could you walk in front of me and light the way?

Please?

Yes
No

I'm not going to give up. I'll keep asking you until you say yes.

That's how I courted my current wife, you know.

So...Will you lead me through the dark?

You will? In that case, I'll use your light as I walk.

Just lead me to the place where you think the treasure chest is buried.

I'll even split the treasure with you...I'm counting on you now.

Where were you? You suddenly vanished, so I got worried. Your light is all I have to go on.

Hey! Where'd you go? I wish you'd walk a little slower.

Oh! There's something strange about this spot.

You want me to dig here?
Yes
No

...In that case, take me to another spot.

Nothing's turning up. Take me to another spot.

Something strange is here, but it isn't any treasure. Show me another spot.

Waah!!! It's the leader of the ghosts!

The soul of a brave soldier from Ikana rests here.

Was it you who chased those bats away?

That's a big help... It isn't much, but here's 30 Rupees for your trouble. Take it!

I...I ain't seen nothing and I d-don't know nothing...

Hey, that's a nice sword you have...Heh, heh...

You know...Lately, frightening ghosts have been appearing in swarms in Ikana Village across the river.

It seems they're the ghosts of Ikana's Royal Family or something.

There's no one living there anymore, so I moved nearby. Heh, heh...

Now there's only a curious parent and child living there while they research the ghosts...Did I mention that is one niiiiice sword?

Can I see it for a second?

Yes
No

Oh, fine!

Huh?!? Really? I don't want to trouble you, but...

Wha? S-s-some red thing?!? What is it? It s-s-seems hostile!

Wha? S-s-some red thing?!? What is it? It seems h-hostile!

Yeah, the parent and child in Ikana Village succeeded in driving off the spirits with some giant music box.

But I can't afford something that ridiculously huge...

But that's just me...Heh, heh.

Of course, they need the river's current to power the music box.

The river's all dried up, so there's no value in stealing the music box or ransacking the place...

Uh...Just rambling...Heh, heh.

......

I found him, green hat boy...

He's using this place as his safe house for keeping his stolen goods. Apparently, his name is Sakon.

He came to the shop last night, and I followed him.

His storage for the things he's stolen is on the other side of this rock door.

Only Sakon can open it. The only way in is to wait for Sakon to arrive.

I'll wait...I've made a promise to Anju. He will show up.

Ah!

Look! There's a mask there!!!

It's the Sun's Mask!

Now I've done it!

Step on that switch!!!

What?? Are you telling us what to do?!?

It's some setup where the door stays open only while the switch is pressed!

There should be some device in this room that also opens the door! Ohhh! The mask!

He's trying to pull it out of our reach and make his escape... We've got to hurry!

That's no good. This isn't the switch...

Go check that room. There should be some sort of mechanism. Please! There's no time!!!

I don't like him... But is there a choice? Should we help him?

Not moving ahead in the face of danger when you know it's for the better is just like Tael. ...That's it...Let's go!

Yesss! My security system is impenetrable

...We're locked in.

I'm sorry you got caught up in all this. If you can get out, then do it.

Anju is already fleeing to Cremia's ranch.

You did great. She'll...understand. C'mon, let's go.

Play your ocarina and get us outside. Let him be alone.

I got the Sun's Mask back!

There's still time! I must get back to town!

Huh? Not yet? I don't stand out at all?

...That's weird. But I'm trying so hard... Oh, well.

Huh? Don't tell me...That's...

I'm shocked. You're the first person who's ever spoken to me.

I've been here for many years, waving my arms around and asking for help, but everyone ignores me and passes me by.

It's 'cause I'm about as impressive as a stone, right?...I'm used to it, though.

Umm...I have a request...Can you give me some medicine that would make even an unnoticable stone like me feel better?

...After all, I'm a stone, so like a stone, I won't move. I'll just wait right here.

Ah, that...Is that it?

...I feel better, I think.

Thanks... Oh...here... In gratitude...

Now...Let me practice standing out...

I am no longer part of the living...My sadness to the moon... I haven't left my dance to the world...I am filled with regret.

(Translation) I am disappointed, oh moon. I have died!

Oh, I planned to bring the world together and stir it into a giant melting pot with my dance!

If only I had taught my new dance to someone...

Spread my dance across the world... Train its followers...

(Translation) I have taught it to you, now make it into a popular dance craze!

I am counting on you.

(Translation) I am counting on you.

Are you the one who freed my soul?

I served the Ikana Royal family. I am the composer called Flat.

The songs connected to the Royal Family that remain here were all composed by my brother and I.

Oh...Sharp, my dear brother.

He sold his soul to the devil and was the one who locked me in here...

You who do not fear the dead, learn well the song that is inscribed behind me...

And if you ever meet my brother, I'd like you to inform him...

The thousand years of raindrops summoned by my song are my tears.

The thunder that strikes the earth is my anger!

...I have made my request.

The thousand years of raindrops summoned by my song are my tears.

The thunder that strikes the earth is my anger!

Here is written the song that shall cleanse his cursed, black soul.

What business have you in Ikana Kingdom, land where only the dead roam?

This is no place for one as full of life as you.

Or do you say that you wish to join the dead?

That is fine...

If that is the case, then sleep gently to the melody of darkness that the great composer, Sharp, shall play...

and join the ranks of the dead.

I understand your desire...

You don't give up. I see you really do wish to join the ranks of the dead.

Hmm? Somehow, my heart is eased. This melody has a serenity to it... And yet...

To one of the dead and darkness, like myself, a song like that no longer holds meaning for me.

You shall end your futile resistance and quickly join the ranks of the dead.

W-What is this? ...This song?

...N-No, it can't be. This song...

Flat, my dear brother.

Forgive your foolish brother who dreamt of the revival of the Royal Family...

...Ye who do not fear the dead...

With my brother's song, you have broken the curse that was placed upon me. It is all thanks to you.

We dead should not be lingering here in this land.

It was all a trick of the masked one who had upset things.

If you truly do not fear the dead...

I wish for you to go to the temple in this land and sever the root of the evil curse that torments us.

To do that...

I, the only one who knows the way into the temple, shall direct you to the King.

The King is in the ruins of Ikana Castle, awaiting the coming of the one who will break the curse.

...I have made my final request.

Eee-hee-hee... Ikana Kingdom was founded on this land, stained with a history of darkness, drenched in blood...

Even now it is a place where troubled, regretful spirits gather.

If you are seeking the one who is stronger than you are, you may find strength here...

from a group of spirits plagued by lingering regrets.

If you have faith in your skills and might...

then try saving these wandering spirits. Yee-hee-hee...

It is impossible in your current state, but once you have eased your weariness and have gained faith in your skills...

You must try saving these wandering spirits. Yee-hee-hee...

But the earthly price you must pay is 30 Rupees!

Will you still do it?

I'll do it
I won't do it

This is the kind of world we are in, so this is the kind of business that we must do. Yee-hee-hee!

Oh, but you haven't enough Rupees. Well, that is too bad.

You are a boy of much vigor.

Defeat the ladies within the time limit and rest their souls in peace.

But if your life energy drops below three hearts, I will stop the match.

Mercy is the least I can offer.

Are you prepared?

Yes
No

Gripped by fear? Yee-hee-hee!

It seems their souls have been healed.

I give to you the earthly possession which the ladies kept. Take it, Link.

That is your name, correct? I can read people's hearts...

I knew you would be coming here...

Now, my own soul has been healed, too. With that... Yee-hee-hee!

Regardless of what mystical powers you possess, you may not fight any longer.

Whatever mystical powers you possess will not help you...

If it takes you that long, you cannot ease their souls...

Try again with that much energy?

Yes
No

Gripped by fear? Yee-hee-hee.

You cannot heal all souls with that song.

The earthly cost to you will be 30 Rupees!

I'd like to be able to take that much... But I shall take 10 Rupees...

Yee-hee-hee. That's a nice mask you're wearing.

That is the mask of those who roam this world with the most lingering regrets!

Use it to ask them their regrets...

Perhaps you may be able to save the souls that wander beyond here. Yee-hee-hee!

That is the mask of the leader of the ninjas who once spied on the hilltop castle with the blood-stained history.

With that, you may be able to call out their spirits that even now are still wandering.

Perhaps you may be able to save the souls that wander beyond here... Yee-hee-hee.

Yee-hee-hee. You are wearing an interesting mask.

That is the mask of the captain of the soldiers who once served to protect the castle on the hilltop.

Now it is the gathering place for the spirits of those with lingering regrets.

Until now they wander, seeking one who can save them.

You cannot save them with that mask...Have you no other? It is unfortunate, but I cannot let you pass. Yee-hee-hee.

Yee-hee-hee. Do you have your own horse?

And if you are not wearing the mask that houses the wandering spirits, which the black-hearted one near the ranch has...

I will not let you pass. Yee-hee-hee.

Yee-hee-hee. What are you doing in a place like this?

Ikana Hill beyond here is the place where spirits with troubles and lingering regrets wander.

Even now, the spirits wander in search of one who can save them.

It is unfortunate, but it is no place for one such as you...

But if you must enter, then you must obtain the mask containing wandering spirits that can be found near the ranch.

Without that mask, you cannot save their souls...

Until then, I will not let you pass by here. Yee-hee-hee!

Yee-hee-hee! Do you have your own horse?

And if you are not wearing the mask containing wandering spirits which the black-hearted one near the ranch has...

I will not let you pass. Yee-hee-hee!

Yee-hee-hee.

It seems, somehow, you have managed to send the Ikana's wandering spirits into peace...

But outside of Ikana... There are still swarms of

wandering spirits with lingering regrets...

The ones in this room want to meet you again and have been waiting here for quite a while.

Go see them if you feel like it...

I'm sure they'll welcome you. Yee-hee-hee!

Yee-hee-hee. You really are an amazing person, Link.

It seems you've somehow managed to heal their souls...

Maybe I shall vanish soon myself.

Well, then... Yee-hee-hee-hee!

Yee,-hee-hee!

If you want to meet the ones in this room, then extend your life energy more.
