Bank 4C: Town Minish

Aherrrm herrmmm!
I am Hagen, mayor of this fair town!
Mayors are usually very important and
busy folk, I'll have you know...
But I still have a hobby, of course!
I collect unusual masks!
I just love them!
They're beautiful!
Simply magnificent, I tell you!

Aherrm!

Yes! That's me, Hagen.
I am mayor of this town.
What's that? You want a book?
A History of Masks?
And you say I checked it out,
do you? Yes, indeed I did...
Or wait... Did I?

Ahh, you seem to have found the book,
safe and sound and in fine shape!
But only because you listened to my
masks like a good little boy, right?
War har har har!

I'm going to have to pick up volume 2.
That last book was just getting good!

The person living here is the mayor,
very important you know.
Doesn't it all just sound so...official?

The mayor likes strange masks.
Sometimes, he even makes his own.

The mayor took off for his cabin by the
lake clutching a book. We saw him go...
But after the chest was opened, the
road to Minish Woods was blocked.
You won't be able to get through.

When the mayor came back, he didn't
have that book anymore.
I'm sure he just left it at his lakeside
cabin. He's pretty forgetful like that.

You want to go to the cabin
by the lake?
Well, let me just mark
it here on your map.
Err... Yes! There. It's right here.
You should be able to find it now.

So the book WAS at the lake, then.

Ah, but I do love our absentminded
old mayor. He's a fine man.

You know, these masks see everything
that goes on in my private life.
Maybe you should just ask my masks!

I think I've finally got a good grasp
of how things run in Hyrule.
Things run so smoothly around here,
and I haven't even done a thing!
I wonder how much better this place
would be if I actually did anything!

Aherrm!! That hole in the garden leads
to a shelter of sorts.
But it's not like I'm trying to run off
and save myself alone or anything!
Just keep that in mind!

I'm thinking of ways to increase the
library's budget to buy more books.
Especially the ones about masks,
you know.

I may look somewhat idle to you,
but no, sir!
I will be working terrifically hard as
soon as you leave.
You can bet on that! Hoho!

These are the times that really test my
mettle as a mayor, I tell you.
Hyrule is my responsibility to the last.
Everyone to the shelters!

Monsters are coming!
Everyone stay indoors!
Oh, that doesn't apply to you, my boy!
You go get 'em, Link!
Your sword and bravery
will save the day!

I hope I don't sound like I'm bragging,
but I have a cabin at Lake Hylia.
It's a gorgeous little place where I go
to enjoy my hobby, mask making.

That cabin by the lake is
really quite far.

The mayor wouldn't be nearly so
charming if he weren't so carefree.
