Scenes
Oh, ho! A visitor! How rare! But you have found me, the wisest of the wisest of the wise! You what? You want to enter the temple you can see in the lake? They call that place the Temple of Droplets. I have heard rumors that one Minish actually did find a way in, long ago... That Minish is Elder Librari, and he is in semi-retirement in the town library. The library should be opening soon. Perhaps you can go find him.
Yes, the elder Librari once found an entrance to the Temple of Droplets. And now, he lives in the town library! And this is all the wisdom of the wisest of the wise I have to offer you!
So you met with elder Librari?! And he said that he really HAS been inside of the Temple of Droplets? I knew it! Once again, my wisdom has surpassed the wisdom of the wisest!
Go get the flippers from the Minish elder who lives in the library. They'll make it so you can swim through the water with ease.
Hmm! Yes, yes, yes! Why, it all makes sense now, doesn't it, boy? Librari used these flippers to swim to the entrance to the Temple of Droplets. So, if you put these on, you should be able to swim, too! Remarkable!
Who knew there'd be someplace like this behind one of the town's fountains?! Well, let's get moving and see if we can find that item those Minish mentioned.
Urk... Owowow!! I just smacked my hip on something! Well, not my hip... My...whatever it is I have now... My brim? Whatever! That old fool must just love sending people on dangerous missions! And how did that Librari get into the Temple of Droplets, anyway? I guess the answer lies up ahead. Keep moving, boy!
Brrr...chatter chatter... I'm freezing in here...!! If you don't find that element quickly, I'm going to turn into a hatsicle!! Hurry up, Link!
What?! This floor is made out of ice! Be careful not to fall and freeze your backside to the floor, Link!
Hm. It looks like something is frozen inside this block of ice... Link, why don't you go take a look?
Hey! The sunlight's shining through! Ahhh... It's so nice and warm. I can feel myself starting to defrost again.
Hey...!! Well done, Link! This looks to be the element, all right. But what will we do? We can't even touch it while it's trapped in that ice... We'll need to melt it off somehow...
Of course! Sunlight! Once we get some sunlight in to melt the ice, that element will be as good as ours!
We did it, Link! Now we can take the element! That was a lot of trouble, but we finally did it, and... What in blazes!? Hey, something's not right here!!
What!? What's this?! That stupid Octorok stole our element! Don't just stand there! We've got to go get it! Link! Now!
Brrrrrrrrr... I almost froze my beak off in there!
