What they say
I am Impa of the Sheikahs. I am responsible for protecting Princess Zelda. Everything is exactly as the Princess foretold.
You are a courageous boy... You are heading out on a big, new adventure, aren't you?
My role in the Princess's dream was to teach a melody to the one from the forest.
This is an ancient melody passed down by the Royal Family.
I have played this song for Princess Zelda as a lullaby ever since she was a baby...
There is mysterious power in these notes.
Now listen carefully...
You brave lad... We must protect this beautiful land of Hyrule!
Take a good look at that mountain. That is Death Mountain, home of the Gorons. They hold the Spiritual Stone of Fire.
At the foot of Death Mountain you will find my village, Kakariko. That is where I was born and raised.
You should talk to some of the villagers there before you go up Death Mountain.
The song I just taught you has some mysterious power. Only Royal Family members are allowed to learn this song.
Remember, it will help to prove your connection with the Royal Family.
The Princess is waiting for you to return to the castle with the stones. All right. We're counting on you!
