Bank 12: Melari's Mines

Come one, come all! See how many
Kinstone pieces you can collect!
You never know what fusing Kinstones
will do, but it's sure to be good!
Come on up and get your free Kinstone
bag for holding your Kinstone pieces!
Don't miss out on this incredible,
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Yes, yes. You're here for your free
Kinstone bag, aren't you?
That's right! Maybe you didn't hear me,
but they're free for all kids right now!

Fitting two Kinstone pieces together
is called Kinstone Fusion.
If you get two pieces to fit perfectly,
great happiness will come your way!
I'll put a Kinstone piece in your
Kinstone bag so you can give it a try.

Anyone who's ready and willing to fuse
Kinstones will look like I do right now.
When you see that look in their eyes,
that's when you press L!
Use Control Pad to choose a Kinstone piece,
and press A to try fusing it!
Did you catch all of that?

Then stand in front of me and press
L so we can fuse Kinstones!

Where are you going? Stand in front of
me and press L!

Yes, yes. That's it. Press L!
Then you can see the Kinstone screen.

Hey! What's wrong? Press L so we
can try fusing our Kinstones.

A perfect fit! That means we're both
due for a little happiness! See ya!

Ting along, tong along!♪
Dig along fer iron!♪

Ting along, tong along!♪

Dig down, dig around!♪
Dig the ground fer iron!♪

This mine belongs to Melari and
us, his seven apprentices.
Did you ting along, tong along, all this
long way to get your sword repaired?
The boss is down on the lowest level.

Ting along, tong along!♪
I'm hmm... Hmm... Hmph!
Man... I really need to come up
with a digging song of my own.

Ting tong, tong along!♪

Deep down, dig down!♪
Dig joy in the ground!♪

If you head outside from here, you
can go see the mine the humans dug.
But the boss doesn't let anyone go
in there without permission.

What? You're going to the mine?

If you've talked to the boss, I won't
stop you. But be careful.

Ting along, tong along!♪
Huh, what? Who am I?
Why, my lad, I'm the second-best of
the Minish metalsmiths!
I'm makin' swords with the boss.

Ting along, tong along!♪
Huh, what? Who am I?
Well, I'm no less than the third-
best of the Minish metalsmiths!
I'm makin' swords with the boss.

Oh! You made it back safely! Fantastic!
We were all starting to get worried.
I think your sword might be ready.

The boss was just putting the finishing
touches on it a second ago.

Ting along, tong along!♪
The sacred sword is done!♪

The sanctuary is a strange place that
borders the human and Minish worlds.
The doorway to the sanctuary opens
only once every hundred years.
I believe the entrance is somewhere
in Hyrule Castle.

Oh! Do you have a Kinstone piece?
Well, come on! Let's fuse Kinstones!

Oh, had a change of heart, have we?

Oh! Yes! They fit together! A perfect
match! It's such a satisfying sight!

I dug up a Kinstone piece near here.

Want to fuse Kinstones with me?

Oh, so now you don't?

Lookee there! Our pieces fused
together!
I wonder what it means... Maybe I'll
dig up some really strong iron!

Ting along, tong along!♪
Diggin' holes for Kinstones!♪

Want to fuse Kinstones with me?

No? You don't want to?
Fine. Whatever.

Yes! A perfect fit! Maybe now I can be
just like my dad!

Y'know, iron's not the only thing
we dig up around here.
We've been known to find quite
a few Kinstone pieces as well.

Want to fuse Kinstones with me?

If you find some more pieces, come on
back. I'm sure I'll dig up a bunch!

Incredible! A perfect match! I can't
wait to see what will happen to me!

Ting along, tong along,♪
It's time for a sleeping song!♪
The Ting Tong song can be sung only
by full-grown mountain men!
It warms the heart, doesn't it? Fills
you with energy? Try singing a round!

Want to fuse Kinstones with me?

Let's fuse Kinstones again sometime.

Whoa! They fused together!
I'm gonna tell everybody!

Wanna fuse Kinstones?

We're gonna fuse Kinstones!

Fusing Kinstones is a blast!

Green clothes? And an odd hat?!?
Sir! Might you be young Link?
I am Melari, master smith.

I hear you want me to reforge the
sacred sword and help break a curse.
I'll be needin' the old sword, which
holds the power of the elements, first.
Show me that broken Picori Blade!

I love all this adventure, what with
the rescuing of princesses and such.
I'd be happy to reforge this thing into
a brand-new sacred blade for you.

It'll take me a while to rework
your sword.
In the meantime, you should track down
the missing elements.
One of them should be in the mine the
humans dug. It's not far from here.

All right! Let's get started!

They'll be a while, Link. Let's
leave them to it and find that element!

I'm the Crenel hermit. I left the world
to pursue a life of quiet reflection.
You seem to be but a child, and yet you
climbed this forbidding mountain alone?
I must reward your courage with a
little information.
Have you not seen strange patterned
walls as you climbed this mountain?
Bombs! Bombs are the answer!

I have an old Kinstone piece that I
dug up somewhere around here.
Do you want to fuse Kinstone pieces?
Oh, yeah!   Maybe later

Ting along, tong along!♪

Wow! That was fast work! But not so
fast that I didn't finish your sword!
Here, take a look! I call this new
blade the White Sword!

Once you infuse it with the power of the
elements, it will become a sacred blade!
The forest elder no doubt told you
this part, but...
If you want to infuse the sword, you
must go to the elemental sanctuary.
The sanctuary is a strange realm,
trapped between two worlds.
It is the bridge between the Minish
world and the human world.
The doorway to the sanctuary opens
only once every hundred years!
You'll find that door hidden
within Hyrule Castle.
Once the blade has been filled with
the power of the four elements,
you should be able to break the
curse on your princess.
I know you can do it. After all, you
made short work of that human mine.
Let me tell you about a shortcut you
can use to get down from the mountain.
You'll find it right in front of the
entrance of the mine you just explored.
Just follow that, and you'll be down
in no time. Good luck!

There's a simple way to get back to the
foot of the mountain...
All you have to do is go out through
here and jump off the cliff!
