Daltus

It is as you have all heard.

A sorcerer named Vaati has cursed my
fair Zelda and turned her to stone.
If we had the sacred Picori Blade, we
likely could have broken the curse.
But Vaati shattered the blade...

However, I have not given up hope.
What do you know about the Picori?

Yes, the ones from the fairy tales...

But the Picori are no mere legend.
They most certainly exist.
No one outside of the royal family
knows the truth about them.
The Picori, who forged the sacred
blade, live deep within Minish Woods.
They should be able to repair the
broken blade and reforge the sword.

No, soldiers will not do.

The Picori do not show themselves
to anyone but children.
Our soldiers could search for days
and still find no sign of them.

If Link has recovered, then yes,
I would like to ask this of him.
Please, turn my precious Zelda back
to normal.
The Picori should know how to create a
new sacred sword.
It will be a dangerous journey, now
that those monsters have been freed.
Please, take this sword with you,
along with the broken Picori Blade.

Very well, then. Send the soldiers to
search for Vaati at once!

Deep within the Minish Woods, you will
find a place called Deepwood Shrine.
Once, humans and Picori shared that
shrine as a meeting place.
I think it would be best if you
started your search there.

I am counting on you, Link.

Only you can break Vaati's curse
and free Princess Zelda.

You want to fuse Kinstones in this dire
time? ...Well, I can see no harm in it.

Ah, and now you've changed your mind.
I suppose it is for the best.

Ah, a perfect fit. My, but that's
nice. Good luck to you.

Oh! Link! You have returned!
And have you found the Picori?
I see. And they want you to gather
the four elements?
Well, it seems I must rely on you once
more if we are to restore Zelda.
Please, you must forge the
sacred blade anew, and quickly!
I am counting on you, Link!

Oh! Link? You have returned!
Welcome. Did you gather the elements?
What? A sanctuary, you say? Why, I've
heard of no such thing in my castle!

The doorway to the elemental
sanctuary is in the castle courtyard?
All we adults see is just another
ordinary wall... Incredible!
Please, just gather the remaining two
elements and repair the sacred sword.
I'm counting on you, Link.
Never forget that.
