Bank 11: Ezlo

Helllllp!!! Help meeee!!!

Ouch! Won't somebody stop them!?

Ow! Ow! Help... Somebody!
Can't anybody hear me?

OUCH!!!

Hey! Kid! You there!

Ow!

Hey! Don't just stand there!
Do something!!!

Ow!

What's wrong with you!? Do you like
watching me take this abuse!? Help me!

Phew! Well done! That was close. Not
that I couldn't handle them myself.
But that's beside the point!

What in the world is a lone child
doing so deep in the woods?

Ho ho! I see.

The...Picori, you say? And Vaati?

Vaati's cursed someone? What?
The sacred blade?!?

Is that so? I see, I see... You know,
you and I have quite a lot in common.
You see, I, too, am on a quest to
break a curse of Vaati's.
And you say that reforging the sacred
blade can break his curse, eh?
Well, then you have found yourself
a companion, my boy!
My name is Ezlo. It's a pleasure to
make your acquaintance.

Wait! Wait, I say!

You walk so quickly!
Too quickly, in fact!
Can't you go any slower? Surely
you've noticed that I have no legs...

Boy! Take a good look at me! Do you
really think I can walk that fast!?

Augh!

If it isn't one thing, it's another!
You are a troublesome boy!

There! Now, you can't possibly
leave me behind.
My... It's quite comfortable up here.
More comfortable than it looks, surely.
And much easier on me!

Hey! Quit your squirming! Can't
you sit still? See! There...
Yes, yes! That's it. Much better.

Now, I suppose a boy like you still has
much to learn about the world.
If ever you need my insight, press
SELECT. I'll be happy to help!
Ah, such a hopeless child...

Hey! Where are you going?
You heartless brat! Help me!!!

What are you doing? Aren't you going
to finish them off?

...What? Is there something on my
face? Quit staring! It's rude!

Oh, Link. You're heading for
Minish Woods now, aren't you?
Leave the monsters that Vaati
freed to us, and go find the Picori!

Minish Woods lie far to the south from
here. If you get lost, check your map.

Hey, kid! Where are you going!?
That's the way we just came from!

You who desire to enter the realm of
the Minish, seek out the hidden portal.
Offer up your song at the portal's
base, and be guided to the world below.

Hmmm... It appears we have found the
Minish village.

Pico picori!

Ripi ripico picori!

Picoco pico ripico!

I gather it's been quite some time
since they last saw a human.
...What's that? You didn't understand
what they were saying just now?
Ah, yes. That was the language
of the Minish.
It's a little different from the dialect
I am most familiar with.
I'm afraid I didn't catch most
of what they said myself.
But perhaps there is someone here
who understands your language.
We should look around.

Fortunately, the Earth Element is in the
shrine at the far end of the village.
A horde of beasts lives in that shrine,
though, so enter with caution.

Oh! You speak our language!

It's been quite a while since we've
heard outsiders speak our tongue!
We have little to offer you in these
woods, but please, enjoy your stay.

Thank you for your offer, but we have
no time to relax. My name is Ezlo.
This child is Link.

We need to break a curse that has
been cast on the princess of Hyrule.
To do so, we'll need to reforge
the broken Picori Blade.

Ah, yes. And you've come here now
hoping to have the blade reforged?
Hm... Well, if that's what you're after,
you'll need four mystic elements.
These elements are the crystalline
forms of the energies of this world.
Only by infusing the blade with these
energies can a new blade be forged.
Here, give me your map. I can mark
where these elements can be found.

The Earth Element can be found in the
shrine to the north of Festari's abbey.
Speak with Festari. He will show you the
path to the shrine's entrance.
Go with caution. Evil creatures have
lately made their home in our shrine.
Return to me at once after you have
found the Earth Element.

So! You have found the Earth Element!

You are blessed with much courage and
strength for one so young.
If your conviction holds strong, head
to Mount Crenel.
There, you will find a man named Melari.

Among all the Minish, there is no one
more able to repair your sword.
If you ask him, I am certain he will
reforge your broken Picori Blade.
I shall send word to him in advance.

Travel safely. You are brave, but
there are many evils now in the world.

Leave through this door here. It will
take you out of the forest quickly.

Great elder, we are in your debt.

We shall head for Mount Crenel
at once!
