Bank 0B: Veil Falls

Ew! What is that? Is that a
caterpillar? It's disgusting!
Hey, kid! I'll just let you
take care of this one!

What are you doing, talking to me at a
time like this! You've got work to do!

My word! It has spikes, it jumps...
What can't it do!? Ah, such a bother!

Ahhhh! Watch your feet!! Such an
inhospitable monster this is!

This must be another guardian,
wouldn't you agree?
Hm... Knock him down, and he just gets
back up again!
Link! It's time to see if you
can knock him down for good!

Link! If you need my help, you
know where to find me!
Just give me a shout, and I'll see
what I can do to lend a...er...beak.

Link, I would imagine that you can
take this thing out with ease now.
Just remember everything I've
taught you!

This weather's miserable! I think I'm
catching a cold...
Ah...ah...achoo!

Oh, don't worry about me, Link.
I'm sure I'll be just fine... Sniffle...

These sky-flying rays will be no match
for my White Sword!
I mean your White Sword, Link!!

Maybe I forgot to mention it,
but I'm not so good with heights...
But this thing would be a piece of cake
on land, am I not right?
Well, no point worrying about that now!

These Black Knights are
in Vaati's service!
Exercise caution, Link!

If we don't stop Vaati here, Princess
Zelda--and all of Hyrule--is done for!
We cannot allow that to happen,
Link!

So this is the true form
of the sorcerer Vaati!
So dark... So powerful... So evil!

Link, judging by the look in your
eyes, I'd say you've made up your mind!
Excellent! Perhaps now, we are ready
to face Vaati!

He's mad with power! He's nothing but
a swirling mass of raw chaos now!
He will consume everything and reduce
the world to darkness!
If we let him go now, he will engulf
the world in an eternal night!

What are you doing!? We've no
time for any of your nonsense!

Waugh! What a hideous face!
...It's no good, Link.
We tried to settle this peacefully, but
some people can't be reasoned with...

Link, save your breath!
Fight now and talk later!

So this would be the Deepwood
Shrine the Minish elder spoke of...
He...said something about there being
monsters inside, didn't he?
He-Hey now! No reason to be afraid or
anything... I'll be waiting right here.
No, wait! What am I saying!? I'm not
letting you leave me alone out here!

Wow... It's hot in here! Come on!
Let's not stand around wasting time!
Find that element, so we can
get out of here!

Hm. To think the ruins were hidden
within this cliff the whole time!
Watch your step, Link. There
may be traps in here.

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!

It may be the Royal Crypt, but graves
are creepy, no matter whose they are!
Where are we supposed to go to meet
this King Gustaf anyway?
I'm not so sure I even want to anymore!
Can we just go somewhere less creepy?

What an irritation! We find our way to
the very tops of the clouds...
And now we have to go even higher
to find a floating palace?
I can't believe what a long way we've
come. And look how high we are!
Don't look down, Link! And watch
your step! It's a long fall from here!

How much farther do we have to go!?
This place goes on forever!
Ah, there's no point in complaining
about it. We must press onward!
After all, how much more could there
be? Come on, Link! Let's go!

Whoa...!

Is this really Hyrule Castle? I can't
believe it! What's happened here?
Vaati's magic has grown more
powerful than I'd imagined...
But the king and Zelda are in danger,
Link! Let's go!

These raindrops are like boulders of
water to us, kid! Watch out!
If one of them hits us, it'll sting
something fierce!

Hehehe! So, what do you think,
Link?
Pretty dark and spooky, isn't it?
Makes you wanna cry, doesn't it?
What? You're...not scared?
Well, good! Neither am I!
So, um... Come on, let's go...

Wow! Look at the size of that waterfall!
Beautiful! Simply beautiful, my boy!

A stone door!

So! This was what they meant by all of
that "source of the flow" business!
Well, this waterfall certainly is the
source of all Hyrule's water.
According to King Gustaf, the final
element lies somewhere behind the falls.
We've dawdled long enough, Link!
Let's go find that element!

What have we here? Some kind
of vortex?
Well, we seem to have hit a dead end...
What shall we do from here?

... ...

Am I still alive?

... ...
... ...
Link!!
What were you thinking, child!
You just reaped the whirlwind, as
they say! We could be dead right now!
... ...
... ...
...But I must admit, it did the trick!
Are we...in the land above the clouds?
Then there must be something here that
can lead us to the final element!
Let's go find it!

Now how do you build something
like this on top of a cloud?
Maybe someone lives inside. If so,
perhaps we could ask for the element?
It's worth a shot, Link!

So this perfectly normal-looking stone
was another portal to the Minish world!
There may be other rock portals. Keep
your eyes peeled, boy...

That's right! Even some human objects
are portals to the Minish world!
Those Minish may not look like much,
but they are quite crafty!

What? ...What is this?
What's happened here!?
They've been turned to stone! All of
them! The minister...and the guards!
Everyone in the castle, all just
like Princess Zelda...
This can only be the work of that evil
Vaati! What cruelty. Link!
We must use the power of the sacred
Four Sword to undo this evil!

Once you've pulled off their iron masks,
those guys are no trouble whatsoever.

Your sword won't make a dent in their
thorny armor!
Flip them over before you strike!

Don't panic, Link! Only one of
them is real! The rest are fakes!

With their stone masks on, these
things can put up quite a fight.
If you just unmask them, though, they
won't pose much of a threat.

Hmn?! Hmmmmnnnn...
Ah, of course! How silly of me!
Hey, my boy! Jump into that whirlwind
over there for me!
Heh heh heh... I wonder, is this a
great idea or a terrible one?

Whoa! How about that?! Of all the
places for them to hide a portal!
You've done well, my boy. Was that
intuition? Or...just a lucky guess?

Hmn? There's something fishy about
this area...
I can't say exactly what, though...
Just something weird in general...
Don't you feel it?

Whoa! So there WAS a portal
hidden there!
I knew I sensed something!

So, this must be Castor Wilds...

It's a nasty, dank place, filled with
swampland and mire...
But we know there's an element waiting
for us somewhere in here, so...
In we go! Come on, Link!
Into the muck with us!

Now, that is one nasty-looking statue!
That eye has such an evil glower to it.

There's only one thing to do here. Just
break those pots that are in the way!
Stand in front of them and press R
to lift them over your head.
Then press it again to throw them!

With this small key, we should be able
to open any locked door here!
But I should warn you, once you've
used the key, it will vanish forever.
To use it, just stand in front of
a locked door and press R.

Do you see that lever? I think you
should be able to pull it.
Just stand in front of it and press R
to grab it, then press down to pull.

Once you take hold of something with
R, use Control Pad to push or pull it.
This is extremely important, so I hope
you take pains to remember it!

Wow! Look at the size of that barrel!

Hm? Oh, right! Right! How silly of me!
It's not big; we're just small!

Wha--!? Hey, be careful, my lad!
The barrel just moved!

What we need now is something to
hold down this switch...

Now what?

Unless we find a way to travel by
water, we won't be going much farther.

This must be what the humans who built
this mine used to get around in here.
Maybe we should hop in.

Hm? What? After all this, you don't
expect me to believe you're scared!
There's nothing to be afraid of here!
Come on, let's go!

Sweet jumping jellyfish, that was awful!
Hey, kid, what are you smiling about?
I knew it was madness to risk our lives
in that rickety human contraption!
From now on, let's just stick to our
feet! Well, I mean...your feet.

Oh my! It looks really, REALLY
hot in that lava!
Trust me: falling into that would
be a bad idea. I'm sure you agree.

How interesting! So there was a portal
hidden away in here, hm?
Whenever you want me to shrink you
down, just hop up here and press R!

Phew...! We barely made it! I was
certain we'd run out of time!

Hmn?! Did something just fall down,
or was it just my imagination?

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!

Link! Where are you?
Are you still there under me?
It's so dark, I can't see my beak
in front of my face!
Watch your step! I don't want you
to trip over anything...

Oh my! There was a portal hidden
in there?

There's a fluffy cloud floating here.
It looks awfully comfortable.

That panel... I think if we stomped on
it hard enough, it might flip over...

There's a strong gale blowing here!
Try not to get swept away!
And hold on to your hat!

Perhaps your sword could reflect the
blasts coming from those statues.

What in the world is that?!

Hmmm... Yes, yes... It certainly
does look suspicious...

Huh? Wha--? What in the world!?

My word! It's a treasure chest!

There seems to be a switch here!

Oh, a Piece of Heart!
Well, that IS useful.

So this is your house...
Well, it seems like a nice place.
...So, where's my room?

So! This is your room? That makes it
my room, too, right?

I sense something unusual here...
Is it something hidden?
I won't tell anyone, so come on!
Show me!

Why, this is the shopkeeper
Stockwell's house!
You can tell much about a person
from the house he keeps, hm?
It's pretty unusual, even by Hyrulean
standards. It even has a pool!

That mustachioed guy strikes me as
somewhat unreliable.
There's something fishy about this
room, too.

Sniff sniff sniff! Mmmm, doesn't that
smell spectacular?
Perhaps they give out free samples.
I say, would you...ask for me?

There seem to be many interesting
books in here...
  Hyrule on 10 Rupees a Day,
  So Your Son Wants to Be a Hero...
  It Could Be Verse!, by Percy, and
  Rem's Anthology for Sleepless Nights.
Hmmm, they all look pretty good,
but which one to read first?

Are you sure I look all right? I never
know what to wear to formal occasions.

How tranquil...
And those cows look so...delicious.

Whoa! Did you see that cat looking
at me?! I know it wants a piece of me!

Waaah! That really startled me!
Everything's scary when you're small!

Hm? Whoa! It...blew up?

Hey, kid! Look at where that stone
marker used to be...
There's some strange symbol on the
ground.
Yes, of course... Why, this must be...

...Well, I haven't the foggiest, to be
honest. Hm...

Hey! That stone marker crumbled! And
there's another of those symbols!
...You know, no matter how many times
I see that happen, it still rattles me.

Hey! We've found another Wind Crest!

Now we have one more point of travel
when we use the Ocarina of Wind!

Aha!! So that mysterious mark we've
been seeing is a Wind Crest.
If you play the Ocarina of Wind, Zeffa
comes to pick you up and fly you away.
That means we can have Zeffa carry us
to any other Wind Crest we've seen.
Are you following me, Link?
Don't hurt your brain thinking about it.
Just give it a try, and you'll see what
I'm talking about.

Hmn?!
Say, look at that, Link!
There's a book up on top of the
bookcase!
But how are we going to get it? We
can't reach it, and we have no ladder.
And I don't think just shaking the
bookcase will make it fall, either.
This presents an interesting
problem, wouldn't you say?

Hey now! You can't just go waltzing
into people's homes like that!
If the owner isn't home, you'll just
have to come back later.

Hm. This house appears to be empty...
Maybe we shouldn't go in here.

Hm? That's unfortunate...
They're not open yet.
Ah, well. We'll just have to come
back later, won't we?

The door is shut.
We can't open it from this side...

Hey, you don't have any Kinstone
pieces!
How can you fuse Kinstones if you
don't have any Kinstone pieces!?

I don't think we can walk fast enough
to cross this swamp.
We're going to have to find some way
to get across safely...

Hey, kid! Why don't you take that Cane
of Pacci and fire it at that hole?
I mean, you never know what'll happen
until you try, right?

Oooooog. I'm sure I've mentioned this
before, but I'm no good with heights.
Wait, hold on... I think I see
something down there!
Sigh... I guess that means we have to
take the plunge after all, hm?

Hmph! There's a locked door here! See if
you can find a key to open it.

That noise just now! What was that?
Something must have happened...
Be careful, Link!!

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!

If I recall correctly, and I guarantee
that I do, my boy...
I think Syrup said to stand in front of
a sleeping person and press R.

Now there's a puzzler...

I suspect there's not much more we can
do here right now. Let's press on.
Perhaps we can work this from another
angle later on.

That hand is a real pain, Link.

Perhaps one of those gizmos you carry
around can do something to it!
